A few days later, the city wall of Yangzhai was crowded with scholars and people from various counties.

Cao Cao and Xu Chu were their own generals, and they selected the most elite cavalry and foot soldiers of 5,000 people each, and lined them up outside the city.

Since it's a real combat drill, you have to move the real guys. On Cao Cao's side, Xiahoudun and other generals all participated, and on Xu Chu's side, Dian Wei's Tiger Guard Battalion, Lejin's Xiandeng Battalion, and Li Quan, Zhang Fei and other cavalry generals also participated.

With the experience of fighting with Lu Bu, Li Dao and other generals who are good at cavalry warfare, I have to say that Xu Chu and Cao Cao have benefited a lot, and this time the cavalry on both sides have absorbed the cavalry tactics of Dong Jun and practiced various cavalry tactics.

For a time, the sound of iron hooves outside the city roared deafeningly, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the cavalry of Xu and Cao fought each other, replacing the soldiers with wood, fighting back and forth, and it was very lively.

In the eyes of those who have never experienced the war themselves, it is like a 'live broadcast', which is exciting and exciting. In the eyes of Li Dian, who also crowded to the city to watch, Xu Chu and Cao Cao's cavalry combat effectiveness also surprised him a little.

Not to mention, the cavalry as the main force went first, and several cavalry of different numbers fell far away from the two wings behind, which Li Dian felt was quite rare. Because when the cavalry is attacking, it is easy to be out of touch with other combat units, resulting in problems such as going too deep, but Xu and Cao's cavalry did not give people such a feeling, several cavalry were relaxed and cooperated with each other, such as arm drive, although the drill was different from the real battlefield, but it was very rare to be able to do this.

Li Dian didn't know that Xu Chu and Cao Cao were 'becoming doctors after a long illness', and they were scared by Lu Bu and other horsemen. Not only Lu Bu's merger with the state cavalry, Li Meng and Li Dao's ability to lead the cavalry is not mediocre, it is precisely because of the losses that Xu Chu and Cao Cao returned to Yangzhai to supervise day by day, and barely trained their cavalry decently.

The cavalry drama ended, and then Cao Ren and Cao Hong faced off against Dian Wei and Le Jin's foot soldiers.

The strength of the cavalry on both sides may be in the middle of the best, but the gap in foot, because of the well-trained Dian Wei and Le Jin, Cao Cao was at a disadvantage as soon as he fought.

Li Dian was surprised, his hometown of Shanyang County borders Peiguo, in the past, when he was practicing swords and reading at home, he often heard the names of Cao Ren and Cao Hong mentioned by the heroes of the past, saying that the two of them were brave athletes, and they were both familiar with military books and knew the military formation, but in this way, these two people were not the opponents of Dian Wei and Le Jin under Xu Chu at all.

For Lejin, Li Dian is very familiar, the two are friends, so he knows that Lejin's martial arts are very outstanding, but today, it seems that Lejin since he was thrown into Xu Chu's command, martial arts is secondary, and his soldiers who first ascended the battalion are not only brave and brave, but also advance and retreat consistently, quite methodical, which shows Lejin's ability to lead troops.

The drill lasted from noon to dusk, and after it was over, Li Dian kept an eye on it and observed the reactions of other scholars and leaders who had watched the drill. The response was very good, and the people of Qianshou opened their eyes and kept praising the military appearance of Xu and Cao, especially the people who emigrated from Yangcheng and Lunshi County, which were deeply harmed by Dong Jun, and even had the idea of joining the army, wanting to join the army and avenge the dead relatives and friends with their own hands.

In terms of the scholars, although the children of the scholars had no intention of joining the army, they also increased their confidence in defeating the Dong army and defending their homeland. As Xu Chu guessed, some of the 'wall grass' who were undecided strengthened their determination, and the county spirit was united.

That night, Xu Chu and Cao Cao each held a feast in the camp.

After fighting for so long, Xu Chu still owes a certain amount to the soldiers in the army, after all, they are born and die for themselves, so on the basis of this exercise, they set up a banquet to entertain generals and colonels at all levels, and ordered to give money to the three armies and reward the public.

As soon as the order was given, Xu Shu and Fei Liang, who were in charge of money and grain logistics, immediately began to prepare, and within a few days, a large basket of money was taken out of Yangzhai's treasury, and some were transported from Yanling County and placed in front of the gates of each battalion.

Regardless of their positions, the officers and men in the army received different amounts of rewards, some of which were quietly saved by Xu Chu's successive Taishou, but the majority of them were obtained from Zhang Zhi and Huang Guan's families.

said that after Cao Cao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was bitter. Their family was originally very rich, and his father Cao Song's position as a lieutenant was purchased with countless sums of money, but because of repeated conscriptions, and because he had just won the truth of Yingchuan Taishou, he was now quite shy in his pocket, and he couldn't reward the three armies. But Xu Chu did this, if he didn't do it, he would be too stingy. There is no choice but to 'one party is in trouble, and all parties come to the rescue', borrowing money from everywhere in a patchwork manner. Fortunately, the Yingchuan clan sold Cao Cao's favor very generously at this moment, and each family paid money to 'lend' Cao Cao, so they could cope with it.

The officers and men of Xu Cao's two armies were greatly rewarded, and their morale was even greater.

After a while, news came from Yanzhou - Liu Dai and Zhang Miao each sent tens of thousands of troops from their jurisdictions to jointly attack Qiaomao, and Qiaomao was finally defeated and died on the battlefield.

After the news reached Yingchuan, Cao Cao was shocked, and Xu Chu was secretly happy.

Cao Cao's shock was because he didn't expect things to happen so quickly, and Zhang Miao didn't discuss with him or Yuan Shao and other friends in advance, so he directly attacked left and right and killed Qiao Mao.

Cao Cao sighed left and right: "The princes of sour jujubes, stationed troops for several months, almost no battle, after the soldiers dispersed and returned, there was no merit for ten months, and there was infighting, and there was a lack of honesty and great things." ”

Bao Xin in the tent was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Besides, Xu Chu's happiness was not because he was happy to see the princes fighting among themselves, or Qiao Mao was dead, he was happy because of something Liu Dai did.

After Qiao Mao's death, Dongjun was left ownerless, so Liu Dai appointed his subordinate general Wang Qiu as the Taishou of Dongjun.

Wang Qiu's name Xu Chu has never heard of, it should be the world-famous Confucian, at that time he asked Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, Xin Bi and others, who is this Wang Qiu, can be in the position of the Taishou of Dongjun.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "This person is no different from the lord. ”

Xin Bi said: "Wang Qiu and Liu Yanzhou are fellow villagers, when Liu Yanzhou raised troops, he gathered the strength of the clan, threw himself into the clan, and raised more than 1,000 people, so he was worshiped by Liu Yanzhou as a general in the line, and he was reused. ”

Xu Chu understood as soon as he heard it, what Guo Jia meant, Wang Qiu used to be a son of a wealthy family, not from a family with a crown for generations, and he was like himself. Xin Bi means that Wang Qiu's status in Liu Dai's army is similar to that of Gan Ning, Li Tong, Chen Gong and others, and it is because of the likeness of people and horses that he is reused, not by his fame.

Liu Dai is very different from Xu Chubiao Cao Cao as Yingchuan Taishou, Wang Qiu is only a general of Liu Dai, who has never been out before, and Cao Cao has a rich resume, which is enough to serve as 2,000 stones in any aspect.

Xu Chu thought to himself: With this precedent, in the future, I will be the county minister of the county and the country, which is a lot more justified...... And my own position doesn't seem to be so abrupt.
