"Cunxiao, do you want to lead the army alone, or do you want to... Train for a while? Back in the front hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Lu Bu asked.

"Thank you, big brother. The younger brother wants to lead the army alone, but the number of people cannot be too large, just a few hundred people. I'll train them to be the number one elite under Big Brother! ”

Lu Bu took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "Hundreds of people? Too little, right? ”

Li Cunxiao said: "The eldest brother doesn't know anything, the younger brother is stupid, thinks about things slowly, and doesn't want to deal with military affairs." If there are too many people, they are not well trained. On the contrary, it will reduce the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

Lu Bu recalled that Li Cunxiao's intelligence attribute had 83 points and 102 points for commanders. Calculated by full attributes, it's already quite awesome. At least tens of thousands of troops are no problem.

"Cunxiao, aren't you lazy?"

"Hey, hey... I just don't want to lead too many troops. Big brother, you will fulfill me. Li Cunxiao said with a smile.

"Well, I'll fulfill you. But the number of people must not be too small, otherwise no matter how elite the training is, it will not have combat effectiveness. Lu Bu put down the tea bottle, got up and said, "Let's go, follow me to the school field to have a look, and choose your soldiers." ”

"Okay."

Coming to the North School Field, Lu Bu introduced: "Now in the North School Field, there are Luo Cheng's 50,000 troops, Mu Guiying's 10,000 Danyang soldiers, Ling Yin's 24,000 city defenders, and 15,000 garrisons in the military department. Pick from among the defenders and reservists of the city, and the number is tentatively set at three thousand. ”

"Huh? Three thousand? That's too much, right? "Li Cunxiao is in a difficult situation. He is not like Luo Cheng and Zhang Liao, who have great ambitions, and just want to take hundreds of soldiers and gallop across the country.

"Cunxiao, I believe you can do it!"

"Uh..." Li Cunxiao didn't know what to say, and it was really difficult to refuse Lu Bu's kindness.

After walking not far, I met Zhang Hu and Wei Yan.

Zhang Hu was the son of Zhang Liao and was in charge of more than 20,000 city defenders. When he saw Lu Bu, he greeted him happily: "Lord." ”

"My lord." Wei Yan also walked over.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Hu and said, "You are fifteen years old this year, right?" ”

"Yes."

"It's a young man's ambition. But don't be proud, learn more from the veterans of the army, and learn from your father. ”

Zhang Hu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely live up to your high expectations." ”

"Well, this is my sworn brother Li Cunxiao, I want to select some soldiers in your army, you can take him to the barracks."

"No." Zhang Hu looked at Li Cunxiao and said, "Uncle, please." ”

"Please."

Li Cunxiao followed Zhang Hu to the military camp of Lingyin's mansion.

Looking at the back of Li Cunxiao's departure, Wei Yan was envious, and said to Lu Bu: "Lord, the last general also wants to lead the army, can you... also give the last general a soldier and horse, and the last general promises that he will never disappoint the lord. ”

For Wei Yan, Lu Bu hadn't thought about it yet.

It stands to reason that Wei Yan's military talent can command tens of thousands of troops and defend one side. But Lu Bu was also worried that Wei Yan's easy surrender would also be easy to rebel? It's not safe to put the army in his hands.

"If the lord doesn't trust me, I... I fell on my knees. Wei Yan looked angry and fell to his knees.

"Chief, please."

"No, I'm not up." Wei Yan thought clearly, if Lu Bu didn't give him military power, he must not trust him, otherwise why would Li Cunxiao just come and give him military power, and he served Lu Bu for a long time, but he was still idle.

Lu Bu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you can go to the military department first and be responsible for training the reserve soldiers." When there are military exploits in the future, it is not too late to lead the troops to fight, so as to silence the mouths of the generals of the various armies. ”

Wei Yan stood up and said, "The reserve soldiers of the military department are prepared to supplement the various armies, and after the last general is trained, won't all of them have to be distributed?" ”

"yes. You don't want to? ”

"The last general is willing, just..." Wei Yan swallowed.

Lu Bu pretended to be angry and said: "All generals who lead an army alone must have extraordinary abilities and extraordinary achievements, do you have them?" Even if I give you an army of 100,000, will you be able to serve the people? If you are not convinced, you can go and fight with Li Cunxiao, and if you win, I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Really?" Wei Yan was overjoyed.

"Really." Lu Bu nodded and said, "But I can remind you that his weapon, Yuwang Lance, has eight hundred catties, and he can fight Li Yuanba for three hundred rounds, regardless of victory or defeat." You first weigh whether you have the ability. ”

"Huh? Eight hundred pounds?! Wei Yan's eyeballs almost kicked off.

"How's that, do you have faith?"

The corners of Wei Yan's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the last general should go to the military department." ”

"Okay, I hope you will serve well in the military department, and one day, when the war starts, there will still be a chance." Lu Bu searched his body, looked at Wei Yan's sword, and pulled it out. On the soil on the ground, he wrote four words on the sword, 'Reserve General Soldier', and then took out a small seal, spit a little saliva on it, covered it on the blade, and said: "Beiyuan Military Department, I won't go, you take this, report to the military aircraft department, and Mr. Gongtai will give you a formal appointment." ”

"It's... All right? Wei Yan rolled his eyes.

"Why not? As long as it is stamped with a seal, even if it is written in the latrine, it is an order. But you have to be careful not to get the dirt off, because it won't be gone. ”

"Yes, yes... The last general will go to the military aircraft department. Wei Yan held his sword and left cautiously.

Lingyin Mansion Barracks.

Li Cunxiao had already selected his soldiers and was ready to leave.

Zhang Hu's eyes straightened, caught up with Li Cunxiao, and said, "Uncle Li, you have only selected fifteen soldiers, isn't it a bit less?" ”

"Not a lot."

"Pick a few more, at least a hundred." Zhang Hu was originally worried that he would pick up thousands of soldiers, but he didn't think that there would be fifteen, and even he was a little embarrassed to look at it.

"I want elite soldiers, not a rabble." Li Cunxiao didn't save face for him.

Zhang Hu's face was ugly, and he arched his hand and said, "Okay, Uncle Li walks slowly." ”

In Li Cunxiao's eyes, only a soldier who is physically strong is a good soldier. But any thin and short points can't get into his eyes, and they are not worthy of fighting him.

Young.

Ran into Lu Bu.

Under the leadership of Lu Bu, he went to the barracks of the military department reserves.

Of the fifteen thousand reserve soldiers, two people were selected, and the others were lost.

"Cun Xiao, if you choose like this, when will you be able to get together enough for three thousand?"

Li Cunxiao said: "Little brother heard that Gui Ying's mother's Danyang soldiers are the elite of the elite, why don't you go to her to choose?" ”

"You kid, you've had this idea for a long time, right?"

"Hey, hey..."

Lu Bu did not refuse, took Li Cunxiao and went to the Danyang soldier station. Anyway, no matter whether Mu Guiying or Li Cunxiao, they will not rebel, and it will be the same for anyone.

When he arrived at the place, Li Cunxiao made a strong selection. Within a moment, more than 3,000 people were selected.

However, when Lu Bu announced that they would be under the command of Li Cunxiao from now on, none of the soldiers were willing. Dudao swore allegiance to Mu Guiying, and only obeyed Mu Guiying's military orders at any time.
