Although Wang Xuan's appearance was very arrogant, Guo Jia also had to admit that compared to the quick response, it was true that the other princes were not comparable to Liu Bei's side at all.

After all, all the soldiers under Liu Bei's command had strict 'emergency training', including but not limited to emergency assembly at night, ambush, and encounter.

In any conceivable situation, there are complete countermeasures, and in order to carry out these measures, there are dozens or hundreds of trainings to ensure that even a soldier can know how to deal with these situations.

At this point, there is no comparison between other princes at all, in the final analysis, Liu Bei is too rich!

Rich, that's what you want, when other princes still have two meals a day, and eat most of them full, Liu Bei's command is already three meals a day, and Zhou Zhou has meat, which is talking about rabbit meat and the like, and on weekdays, each soldier has half a salted fish to eat for lunch and dinner!

There is a lot of salt, so much that it is impossible to eat, the boat is big, and there are many fish caught, even if the auxiliary soldiers are added, there are only 100,000 people in total, and the consumption of only 50 tons of fish a day is less than 20,000 tons a year, what is it!

(The output of aquatic products in Shandong in 2005 was 7.36 million tons)

The other princes are three days and one exercise, and Liu Bei is two exercises a day...... Don't get me wrong, literally.

Sufficient food ensured that Liu Bei's subordinates could train more than five times as much as the other princes, so that they had more time to train in emergency responses.

"Don't worry." Wang Xuan patted Guo Jia on the shoulder, "You came late, I don't know how many tricks we have in training, and I will finally feel shallow on paper, this time I will let you take a look at the actual battle, see the quality of our soldiers, and know yourself and the other side in a hundred battles." ”

"In addition, in terms of equipment, we are not comparable to our wife Cao's side, at least, our soldiers have a steel kettle in their hands and carry fried noodles with them, so as to ensure that they are in the best condition before the war."

"It's said to be an encounter, but in fact, it's not under our control, so it's unprepared, if it loses again, I'll die!"

……

"Newspaper!! Liu Beijun was found in the front, six miles away from our army! A scout rode to the Chinese army and shouted at Xiahoudun.

"What!" Xiahou was taken aback, and asked eagerly at the scout, "Are you sure it's Liu Beijun?" How many troops? Who will the Lord be? ”

Cheng Yu on the side also poked his head out of the carriage to look at the scout, this news also surprised him, six miles, an extremely dangerous distance, encounters are inevitable, and a bad one is the fate of the rout of the whole army.

"The subordinate is sure to be Liu Beijun, look at the banner written Zhang, the strength is 15,000." In ancient times, those who could be scouts were elites, at least they had to know how to read, otherwise, they couldn't even understand the flags, so they would still be scouting, and in addition, they also needed to judge the total number of enemy troops according to the number of flags in the opposing army.

"Zhang Fei!" Xiahoudun and Cheng Yu looked at each other and determined Liu Beifang's main general, but, according to intelligence, Zhang Fei had a total of 15,000 troops in Licheng, and saw that Liu Bei sent reinforcements. (For the other princes, there is no such thing as a regular auxiliary, so the total number is counted.) ）

Thinking of this, Xiahoudun sighed slightly, although he didn't think that his own transfer could hide from Liu Bei, but Liu Bei's reaction was too fast, and the preparations he prepared here had not yet arrived in Licheng, and those who received the news over there had already come to support!

Or did Liu Bei himself have the idea of attacking Yanzhou?

This is also possible, after all, Liu Bei's development is found to be more narrow, and if he does not provoke Yuan Shao, the overlord, then the choice is only Cao Cao, Xuzhou is impossible, Tao Qian gave strong support to Liu Bei's development, if he turned his face and annexed Xuzhou, Liu Bei's reputation would be completely ruined.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao is willing to test Liu Bei, the two sides will fight sooner or later, so it is better to take some of Yuan Shao's benefits to do his own thing.

"Got it, probe again!" Waving his hand to send the scout away, Xiahoudun and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, "What should I do?" ”

"Don't think about it so much, prepare for battle, after all, we can't expect Zhang Fei's side to stop advancing and retreat and camp!" Cheng Yu is very decisive and never pins his hopes on the enemy.

Xiahoudun nodded, and immediately sent the order, the 80,000 army stretched out for nearly ten miles, divided into the front, middle and rear armies, where is it so easy to immediately reorganize the army and fight!

The grain and grass alone are closely protected behind the Chinese army, which is the lifeblood of the army, 20,000 soldiers are in the front and one in the rear, the vanguard is only 5,000 people, and the Chinese army is 10,000, and the back is 5,000.

In a hurry, Xiahoudun could only divide the army, Minfu and the baggage stopped, waiting for the rear army to protect, the vanguard army continued to advance, and the 10,000 Chinese army accelerated to catch up with the enemy.

The transfer during this march made the entire marching team even more chaotic, and the Chinese army said that it was necessary to accelerate the advance of at least three or five miles in order to meet the enemy in a round with the vanguard, and at most to advance six or seven miles in a short time...... In terms of the quality of Cao Cao's soldiers, not to mention the fact that the water and rice did not advance for most of the march, he had to march in a hurry to fight an encounter with the enemy...... It's just hard!

Compared with this, Wang Xuan's side is much easier, 10,000 troops, supplemented by only 5,000, he has been ready for the big war early, he has food and water on his body, he is well-trained on weekdays, and the fully armed march of thirty miles is just a warm-up program in weekday training.

Since it was discovered by Cao Cao's army, Wang Xuan let the soldiers advance two miles again and then began the equipment war, since he wanted to give Cao Cao a ruthless and show his strength, this time Wang Xuan brought all the trump cards in his hand.

The reason why there are so many auxiliaries is mainly to take care of Huaxiong's 1,000 heavy armored cavalry and Dian Wei's 1,000 heavy armored infantry, and their armor alone requires a large number of four-wheeled carriages to transport it, and it also needs auxiliary soldiers to help with the armor.

When Wang Xuan's side was ready, Xiahoudun also hurriedly took 15,000 people to complete the whole team, and confronted each other from a distance of two miles.

If Wang Xuan's morale is worth 100, then Xiahoudun's side, seeing that the enemy army is pressing towards him, the morale can only be 70 at most.

"Drums! Advance! Wang Xuan gave an order, and the sound of war drums of "dong dong dong" resounded for ten miles, and with the sound of war drums, the atmosphere of the battlefield was more solemn, and the air seemed to be a little sticky.

A thousand heavy armored cavalry in bright silver armor led the way, lined up in three rows, keeping enough space to slowly crush the Cao army, followed by a thousand heavy armored infantry, then five thousand foot soldiers followed closely in a sharp arrow formation, and finally two thousand cavalry cruising left and right in a row.
