Everyone knows that Li Su's force is second only to Lu Bu, if Gao Shun's forces are so strong and there are so many high-ranking generals, they will be seriously suppressed and lack opportunities if they go, and at most they will develop into military candidates is the end, so they have dispelled their good impression of the champion Hou's forces, except for Zhang Yang.

Everyone felt that their lives were good at present, they did not have to worry about food and clothing, and they could live well by looting foreign races and collecting tolls and protection fees, and they could not only kill barbarians to take revenge, but also be at ease and wait for opportunities.

And now the strength of Lu Bu's forces is strong, with more than 10,000 cavalry, dozens of generals, and Lu Bu's bravery, even the Xiongnu Right Xianwang has to endure and retreat, and there is no need to join the power of the champion Hou.

What's more important is that these people are now leading thousands of troops, if they defect to the champion Hou, not only will the management be strict, they will not be free, and even the number of soldiers and horses they will bring will be reduced a lot, which is unacceptable to them, even if Lu Bu is willing to join the power of the champion Hou, they are not willing, they must find a bigger backstage, so that they have more room to play.

As for Lu Bu, he didn't believe what Li Su said, he thought that Li Su was making excuses, and even thought that Li Su had too much appetite and said that he was satisfied, but in fact he wanted to get a higher position, and he knew too much about Li Su's conduct.

Lu Bu was even more disdainful of the champion Hou, with the power of a few counties, he only captured a few thousand Xianbei people, it was better for him to have no foundation, and the number of aliens killed in a winter far exceeded this number.

He didn't know that Li Su had greatly reduced the number of prisoners and could not reveal the details of the Xianbei battle to the outside world, which made Lü Bu even more arrogant.

Lu Bu and Li Su are from Wuyuan County, while Zhang Yang is from Yunzhong County, so Zhang Yang is more looking forward to the situation in Yunzhong County, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he changed the topic and asked: "Fuyun, why is there a Han border army on the other side of Shanan County, and the Han people are forbidden to cross the river?" ”

Li Su knew the truth, so he said: "It has been recovered by the champion Hou, but now only the army is stationed, and the people are not arranged to live, because they are afraid that there will be a war with the Xianbei people at any time, which will bring danger to the people, and they will also drag down the mobility of the troops, so the people are forbidden to go." ”

Zhang Yang was very concerned about this, and asked eagerly: "Fuyun, isn't that an enclave?" Isn't Champion Hou too risky? ”

Li Su laughed proudly, and patiently explained to Zhang Yang: "Haha, Uncle Zhi doesn't need to worry, the champion Hou is meticulous, how can there be a risky move?" Now the champion Hou not only recovered the entire territory of Dingxiang County, but also recovered the southern and eastern counties of Yunzhong County as a foothold, the former Yunzhong County Governor Xue Yin served as the eastern governor of Yunzhong County, and the champion Hou's brother-in-law Xu Lin served as the southern governor of Yunzhong County, and it was planned that the two of them would take the existing two counties as a base this year and be responsible for recovering the entire territory of Yunzhong County. ”

Xu Lin, the southern governor, and Xue Yin, the eastern governor, are very familiar with Zhang Yang, who has trained together for a period of time, and still remembers it vividly, at that time they were still the tun chief, I didn't expect them to develop so rapidly, if he can persist until now, he will definitely be promoted from the tun chief to a similar position.

So Zhang Yang consulted the people he was familiar with, Song Xian and Xu Zhen.

Li Su said: "Song Xian's development exceeded everyone's expectations, faster than many fierce people, the military Hou let him be in charge of training in Taoyuan Fort for more than two years, after being released in Hedong County for a while, he is now the captain of Shangjun, and participating in the battle to recover Shangjun is also a great achievement; As for Xu Zhen, he has the trust of the prince and the marquis, and now he is the military commander and the county lieutenant of Zhongling County, controlling the supply of materials in Dingxiang County and Yunzhong County, although the position is not high, but the power is very large, and people who are not trusted by the prince are not allowed to serve. ”

Zhang Yang was very disappointed and very conflicted, and outsiders could not understand his desire to regain the lost land, Yunzhong County was his hometown, where his relatives were buried.

Everyone was arrogant before, and they felt that the champion Hou was nothing more than that, but now they are all silent, they can expel the barbarians and recover the lost territory, that is called ability, they are now at best a group of rogues, and they can only make small fights.

Lu Bu was not stupid, and when he felt the change in everyone's mentality, he changed the topic in time and asked, "Haha, Fuyun understands the situation of the alien race, and also understands the situation of Bu, what suggestions do you have for the next development direction of Bu?" ”

Li Su thought for a while, and did not answer him directly, but asked rhetorically: "Fengxian, I got the news that the champion Hou will recover the entire territory of Yunzhong County this year, and the Marquis of Guangnian will recover the entire territory of Shangjun this year, and will send the Xiongnu Zhonglang General to lead 10,000 cavalry to Meiji County, the Xiongnu Wangting, and when the time comes, it will definitely expel or eliminate the Xiongnu Youxian Wangbu, where does Feng Xian think it is better to develop?" ”

When the time comes, there will be government soldiers and horses on all sides, how can the champion Hou and Guangnian Hou tolerate the existence of an ungoverned and powerful rogue?

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they all looked at Lu Bu uneasily.

Lu Bu looked at everyone's frightened expressions, not only was he not dissatisfied, but thought that this was everyone's dependence on him, only he Lu Bu could lead them to relieve the difficulties they were facing, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, so he waved his hand and said confidently: "Strength determines everything, just like the champion Hou, now that the strength has developed to a certain extent, even the imperial court is afraid of it, if our strength continues to improve, the champion Hou and Guangnian Hou will also be jealous; The territory under their jurisdiction is huge, and the troops are scattered, but our soldiers and horses are concentrated in one city, which is convenient for decisive battles; Besides, they won't come to fight us, the thing that both sides lose is what the court is most willing to see, Bu believes that the champion Hou and Guangnian Hou are not stupid, they will definitely not do such a stupid thing, you can rest assured. ”

In fact, he doesn't have a complete plan in his heart, but he just thinks that a strong soldier is the capital of his existence, and he can't do anything in the future, he can not only lead people to defect to the strength of the Han Dynasty, but also to the imperial court, which is really not good, but also to the Xianbei and Xiongnu who are close at hand, I believe that with his power, any party will welcome him very warmly.

Anyway, he will not defect to the champion Hou and Guangnian Hou, since he has not defected before, he will not defect in the future, he Lu Bu is a person who wants to save face.

Seeing that Lu Bu was so confident, and that his tall and brave image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and that they had strong trust in him, they dispelled the fear in their hearts and continued to drink.

Seeing the dull atmosphere at the banquet, Lu Bu said: "Fuyun is the one who leads the troops, you can go to the barracks tomorrow to see how Bu's strong army is." ”

"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Li Su responded happily.

The crowd began to drink again.

Cheng Lian was the most scheming, and when he came, he found that Li Su's guards were very powerful, so he asked: "Brother Fuyun's guards are all well-trained, are all the cavalry at the Champion Hou the same?" ”

Li Su explained: "Haha, this is just a temporary random deployment of cavalry, the cavalry under the jurisdiction of the champion Hou is a unified establishment and a unified training model, and the cavalry under the jurisdiction of different officers can be combined into an army at will, which is convenient for deployment and command." ”

Zhang Yang understood this very well, and nodded in approval of Li Su's words.

Lu Bu asked Cheng Lian: "Compared with Bu's wolf cavalry, what is it?" ”

The guards brought by Li Su were his guards drawn by Gao Shun, and they were all high-ranking cavalrymen; Now Gao Shun is not short of money, as long as the high-level cavalry is released, they all spend 31 points, increasing their force value by 5 points, the soldier's force value is 55, and the officer's force value is higher.

The wolf cavalry, also known as the wolf cavalry guard, is the personal guard formed by Lu Bu, the number is only a thousand people, the strongest people selected from the whole army, riding the best war horses, giving priority to the selection of weapons and equipment, providing good diet and salary, loyal to Lu Bu, is Lu Bu's hole card.

Everyone was also proud to join the Wolf Riders; Now Wei Xu is the leader of the wolf cavalry.

The wolf cavalry guard has strong combat effectiveness, not that Lu Bu does not want to form a larger number of wolf cavalry guards, but that he has limited financial resources, and weapons and equipment can only meet the needs of a thousand people at most.

Hearing Lu Bu ask like this, Li Su's heart was also full of curiosity, I don't know what tricks Lu Bu can play?
