Li Ji and the others all felt that what Zhang Ji said was reasonable, and even Fan Chou, Duan Xuan and others had the heart to surrender directly.

Li Wei looked at Guo Yan and Fan Chou, "Two generals, what do you think?" ”

Up to now, Zhang Ji has said it so thoroughly, who is willing to do that thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself, they all agree with Li Ji's decision.

Seeing that everyone had unified their opinions, Li Wei stood up and said to Zhang Ji: "In this way, General Lao Zhang will go back to tell General Lu Bu that we will promise General Lu Bu a gambling agreement, and three days later, after breakfast, on the outskirts of Baling, you and I will fight to the death!" ”

"The bet is according to what General Lu Bu said, we lost, surrendered, and sacrificed the city; If you lose, quit Guanzhong, and you won't be able to come back for three years! ”

"It's a deal! Zhang Ji said goodbye and will tell my father-in-law truthfully! Zhang Jixian thanked the generals for the people of Chang'an and Sanfu. ”

Three days later, it was a beautiful day, but it should not be a day of war.

There is a plain in the east of Chang'an City, called Bailuyuan, because Emperor Wen's mausoleum is also here, also called Balingyuan. And because the Ba water flows through the middle, it is also called Ba Ling.

Only the tombs of Emperor Wen and Emperor Xuan are on the south bank of the Wei River, and the other Han Emperors' tombs are in Xianyangyuan on the north bank of the Wei River.

The large camp of the Bingzhou Army was set up on the Baling Plain, spanning both sides of the Bashui River, and the company camp was dozens of miles.

After breakfast, a long trumpet sounded in the camp.

With the rumbling war drums, the camp gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the brigade and the heavily armed Bingzhou army drove out of the camp.

At the agreed decisive battlefield, they began to line up according to their respective affiliations.

Although Ma Teng's army was numerous, Lu Bu did not plan to use it to fight, because they were not familiar with the tactics and tactics of the state army, and they could not help at all.

However, Lu Bu asked them to line up outside the camp and watch the battle from a distance, with the intention of letting them see the powerful combat power of the Bingzhou army, which would also facilitate the reorganization and transformation in the future.

Lu Bu personally formulated the lineup for the decisive battle, and the state army was all the main force this time.

The formation was still arranged according to the standard left, center and right lanes, with infantry in front and cavalry in the rear.

On the left flank of the Bingzhou Army was Zhang Liao's Second Division, and the brigades of the Second Division, which had undergone several baptisms of war, had become more and more mature and were responsible for their great responsibilities.

Hao Zhao's Fourth Brigade and Yu Ban's Fifth Brigade were in front, and the Sixth Brigade was in the back, arranged in reverse characters.

In the middle is Cheng Lian's Honorary First Division, which is also Fang Yue's Rong 1st Brigade and Guan Hai's Rong 2nd Brigade in front, and Tian Yu's 3rd Brigade in the back.

On the right is the troops trapped in the camp, the division commander Xu Huang is not there, the deputy division commander Xu Rong is in charge, Xu Rong's first brigade and Wei Xu's second brigade are in the front, and an infantry reserve brigade and teaching regiment are in the rear.

All three brigades of Kim Il-pan's cavalry division remained in the rear, together with the guard brigade and the heavy brigade as a mobile force.

An infantry reserve brigade remained in the main battalion, and a cavalry reserve brigade roamed around on the periphery of the battlefield.

At the same time as the state army was in full swing to deploy troops, there were also bleak horns in Chang'an City.

Li Dao and others were also dispatching the Xiliang army to go out of the city for a decisive battle, the east gate of Chang'an City was wide open, and the Xiliang army wearing black and gray military uniforms also came out.

Li Dao and others still had 130,000 troops in their hands, including about 50,000 infantry, and the rest were cavalry.

And more than half of the 50,000 infantry were the original Xiliang army, and the rest were re-recruited after the occupation of Chang'an.

According to Li Ru's arrangement, Li Dao and others trained and equipped 30,000 hoplites, all of whom were equipped with thickened armor and large shields, and these hoplites were also the last troops to arrive on the battlefield.

The rest were spearmen and crossbowmen, and the Xiliang army was still equipped with some hard crossbows.

As for the longbowmen, they were not equipped much, but because most of the Xiliang cavalry were good at riding and shooting, Li Wei temporarily changed the 10,000 cavalry to archers.

Li Wei also learned the appearance of the state army, with the infantry in the front and the cavalry in the rear, arranged in three directions: left, center and right.

30,000 hoplites, exactly 10,000 on each road, Guo Yan was in charge of the left and right, Li Wei himself was in the middle, and the right was handed over to Fan Chou.

Both sides were busy arranging their arrays first, and it was not until nearly noon that the formation was fully deployed.

Of course, in fact, the main reason is that the Xiliang Army is too slow, and the Bingzhou Army has finished early, but since it is an appointment battle, it is naturally to respect the opponent.

When Li Dao saw that his formation was completed, he urged his horse forward, and did not bring a soldier or general, but rode to the front of the formation.

Seeing that the other side was so generous, Lu Bu naturally rode forward alone and answered in front of Li Dao.

It's not the first time the two have met, they have met a few times in Luoyang before, but it is the first time on the battlefield.

"General Li Dao, it's been a long time, Lu Bu is polite here." After that, he arched his hand.

Li Dao hurriedly returned the salute, don't look at him now as a hussar general, and his official position is still greater than Lu Bu, but Lu Bu's qualifications are much older than him, and he doesn't dare to trust him.

"Li Dao has seen General Lu Bu, but the Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, how did General Lu Bu come to offend Tianyan? Please quit and go back early! ”

"Haha, General Li doesn't have to bring the emperor out, since you claim to have taken Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo, then it's reasonable for me, a person who opposes Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, to raise troops to fight!"

"What's more, my father-in-law, Lord Wang Yun, died under the city of Chang'an, the country and the family hate, public and private, I am justified. We are all smart people, so let's not do this battle of tongues, and ask General Li Dao to draw a line, are we going to fight alone or in a group? ”

"What do you mean by gang fighting?" Li Dao's face was full of bewilderment.

Only then did Lu Bu realize that he had made a mistake again, and hurriedly explained, "Group beating is the meaning of everyone going together and disrupting the fight, you can choose." ”

Li Wei only understood, he thought for a while, the generals were single-handed, and there was really no one on his side who could show his hands.

But on Lu Bu's side, Lu Bu won't talk about it, there are also Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, so many famous generals, it is simply self-defeating to fight alone.

"Then I choose to fight in a group, I only hope that Lord Lu Bu can keep your promise!"

"Okay, the group beats you up, I will keep my promise, and I hope that General Li Dao will keep your promise."

The two returned to their respective formations, and Li Wei ordered Guo Yan's left flank to launch a tentative attack first.

Guo Yan dispatched 5,000 heavy infantry with large shields in front, 2,000 spearmen in the middle, and 3,000 crossbowmen in the back.

After suffering the loss of the repeater, Guo Yan will no longer let the cavalry attack the repeater that is waiting for the battle.

Corresponding to Guo Yan was the right flank of the Bingzhou army. Xu Rong's 1st Brigade and Wei Xu's 2nd Brigade had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the 10,000 infantry dispatched from the opposite side, Xu Rong ordered the 1st and 2nd brigades to attack to meet the battle, in Lu Bu's words, to teach them a good lesson, infantry tactics coordination.
