If you want to say that the most elite troops under Chu Fei's hands, it is definitely the shield team, and no one will have any opinions.

It's just that no matter how elite the troops are, they also need manpower, although they have been replenished and expanded to a hundred, but is there more than a hundred? Not much, even the newly formed Shenguang Battalion has more than a thousand people, and the cavalry and archers who were originally small in number have also expanded to a hundred, the same as the shield squad.

Hou En came all the way with Chu Fei, witnessed the birth of the shield team, and was also the real manager of the shield team, how could he not think about the good of the shield team.

But he also knew that the reason why the shield team was elite was not only because of the strong personnel, but also because of the excellent equipment.

Now there are only a hundred excellent swords and shields in the whole army, and even if they want to expand, it is impossible to expand unless they can create such sophisticated equipment as they are used.

In the battle with the Yellow Turban Army, although the city was won and the enemy soldiers were retreated, and the capture was quite large, it was too far behind in weapons and equipment.

Although the Yellow Turban Army also has elite troops, most of them are guns, not to mention the rest of the men, and the weapons are even more varied, and there is no unified blade, so they almost go into battle with a hoe for farming.

Oh, there are really people who go into battle with hoes, but there are fewer of them and they don't matter.

But this is enough to show the poor equipment of the Yellow Turban Army, how can such equipment be used by the shield team?

'The Yellow Turbans don't have any equipment? Right! Equip! ’

Hou En was overjoyed in his heart, and then he also stood up and said to Chu Fei, "My lord, our army has recruited more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, but the weapons and equipment are uneven, and many people don't even have a decent weapon. ”

Hearing this, Chu Fei was stunned for a moment.

These battles were too smooth, and basically the Yellow Turban Army won without much resistance, so Chu Fei didn't feel anything.

But now when he heard Hou En say this, he realized that the equipment of the Shenguang Battalion was indeed uneven, and although they could kill people in battle, they had relatively no advantage in unifying the troops.

Although Guan Hai is a good hand at leading troops, he is a little worse in training, and the strength of each of the soldiers has improved rapidly, but in terms of battle formation, it is like a blank sheet of paper, and he is not even as good as Hou En.

Chu Fei knew the importance of the battle array, but he also didn't know anything about it, so he ignored these things.

Chu Fei pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of the 1,500 pieces of refined iron in the reward, and suddenly felt happy in his heart.

"If you don't mention this matter, I almost forgot, the matter of recruiting soldiers and horses will continue, first put away the original weapons and classify them, and I will solve the new weapons."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Xiu and said, "Old Li Tou, you are most familiar with Kunshan County, do you know that there are blacksmiths with good skills in this county?" ”

Li Xiu was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile, "I do know that there are blacksmiths with good skills, but iron materials are needed to build weapons, even if you have money in this small Kunshan County, I am afraid it will be difficult to get together, not to mention..."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, then sighed and said, "What's more, now that there are more soldiers and horses, the consumption has also increased a lot, although the money is enough for the time being, it is not enough to buy refined iron." ”

Chu Fei smiled when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry about the matter of fine iron, I have my own way to solve it, just find a blacksmith who can create divine weapons, then there will be no problem." ”

Seeing that Chu Fei was so sure, Li Xiu couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod slightly and say.

"Since the lord has a solution, then he will find all the blacksmiths in Kunshan County to build so many blades, and it is not something that one or two people can complete."

"That's very good." Chu Fei said.

"Anything else to say?"

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads.

Li Xiu saw that everyone had finished speaking, so he got up and said, "I have something to tell the lord." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"My father has three sons, and I am the second."

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

What do you mean when you say you're the second in line at home?

Chu Fei was also confused, looking at Li Xiu for some reason.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Xiu smiled slightly and said, "I have an elder brother named Qian, who gathered thousands of diners in the Cheng family, and a few days ago I saw that the lord had the heart to recruit heroes, so I wrote a letter to pass it on to the Cheng family, and I just received a reply yesterday, and the brother said in the letter, my nephew is already on the way." ”

Hearing this, Chu Fei suddenly felt a sudden joy.

Now there are thieves everywhere, since the other party dares to come to him at this time, it means that he does not have extremely strong strength, it means that he has a lot of people around him.

Since there are thousands of diners gathered, even if they don't all come, the number of people who come this time will never be less, at least for Chu Fei's current situation.

"What is the name of your nephew? How many people did you bring in? Is it to help, to leave or to stay? ”

Chu Fei looked at Li Xiu excitedly and asked several questions in a row.

Li Xiu was not annoyed by this, but was complacent.

"My nephew's name is Li Dian, the word Mancheng, I heard that the lord is in trouble, and I learned that you are the famous Chu Shanren of Qingzhou, so he volunteered to come, this time he brought a full 1,000 people, and then he could help Linzi. Man Cheng has both civil and military skills, and will be able to solve problems for the main public. ”

"Li Dian Li Mancheng!" Chu Fei was immediately overjoyed, and he was another historical celebrity.

It is said that Li Dian has no outstanding place under Cao Cao, who has many fierce generals and advisers everywhere, but he is also a talent that should not be underestimated.

What surprised Chu Fei the most was that since Li Dian was Li Xiu's nephew, he had this relationship, as long as he treated it well, he definitely didn't have to worry about being snatched away by Cao Cao.

"Good! All right! Deman is better than a thousand armies, and I will not treat him badly. ”

Li Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that Chu Fei would pay so much attention to his nephew because of his own face, and he was even more grateful to Chu Fei.

"Drop, the loyalty of Li Xiu under the host's command has reached eighty."

The prompt sound of the system always came unexpectedly, leaving Chu Fei defenseless.

However, Chu Fei only thought about it for a while, and then he understood the cause and effect.

knew that Li Xiu had misunderstood, but he would not be stupid enough to break it, but he was overjoyed in his heart.

Originally, he was thinking about leaving for a while, but he didn't expect to get the news that Li Dian was coming.

Therefore, I can only temporarily cancel the previously arranged itinerary and wait until Li Dian is placed before making plans.

On the same day, Li Xiu found more than a dozen blacksmiths, and half of the salary was paid in advance according to the salary negotiated by Li Xiu.

Chu Fei placed the rewarded fine iron in a place where no one was around, and then ordered someone to move away and start the construction plan.
