Because the war was approaching, this welcome dinner also became a military meeting, and Zhuge Liang was a little surprised that he heard that there were 800,000 troops in the north and nearly 400,000 troops in the south, but the total strength of the Xuzhou New Army was only 500,000. As for the Liu Zhang, Zhang and Lu coalition forces in the south, Miss Lu actually said that she could break it by giving her 30,000 Gangnu cavalry.

Could it be that the generals of the new army in Xuzhou are so arrogant? This is not a good thing, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated......

"Mr. Farmer, what are you shaking your head for, do you think we are arrogant?"

"Don't you think everyone is a little underestimated?" Zhuge Liang did not shy away from it, and directly admitted it.

“…… What do you think of the combat power of our army? ”

"I accompanied Brother Yuan to see the training of the defenders of the Xuzhou garrison, it can indeed be regarded as an elite division, if you face twice as many enemies in the field, you can still fight, if the opponent is also a well-trained elite division, the probability of winning is not great!" This is the conclusion that Zhuge Liang came to when he accompanied Xu Shu to watch the training of the soldiers, but at that time, he did not see a lot of powerful equipment in the training, and he saw that it was actually only a recruit training camp, or a defender, not a real field army, so it caused a huge mistake on the cart of the first brother.

"It turns out that you are looking at the training of recruits in the local garrison, not the combat effectiveness of the field troops, and it is no wonder that you, Mr. Farmer, always stay at home and farm, of course you don't know the strength of our new army field troops." Nizi is quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the field troops of the Xuzhou New Army, not to mention that the Phoenix Legion where she is located, although the CCP only has 10,000 people, but if you fight against those coalition forces in the north, even the 100,000 troops of Laige are sure to win.

"What is the difference between this field unit and the defenders?" I heard that Zhuge Liang of the field army is also a bit of a novelty.

"As for the field troops, in fact, they are all cavalry, with a total strength of 120,000."

"It turned out to be cavalry, but there are more than 200,000 cavalry in the Northern Alliance......"

"Of course it's not ordinary cavalry, all the warriors are equipped with invulnerable chain mail, and the weapons are uniformly equipped with melee steel swords, long-range three-bow crossbows or newly equipped steel crossbows, if it's a field encounter, it's not a problem to fight ten times the people on the other side!"

"All equipped with swords made of refined steel?" Xu Shu also has a sword that is said to be made of refined steel, Zhuge Liang has also personally tested it, it can be called a divine weapon, if even the small soldiers are equipped with this kind of divine weapon, then it is naturally advantageous when fighting against the enemy.

"Of course, my sword is also made of refined steel, and it is all from the Lujiang Arsenal and mass-produced." Niko took out a saber that she was wearing with her and said.

"Equipped with such good weapons, as long as it is well-trained, it can indeed multiply the combat power of the army, but it is still not possible to face ten times the enemy."

"Of course a simple sword can't do it, don't you wonder that the sword is invulnerable? At that time, when the lord made the chain mail, it made all of us stunned, and the steel crossbow was even more powerful, very ......" Nizi gave this pig brother villager a detailed introduction to the various powerful equipment of the Xuzhou New Army, and Zhuge Liang was dizzy when he listened, there was only one concept, powerful, it was too powerful.

If what this Nizi said is true, with the current strength of the new army in Xuzhou, as long as you plan well, you can sweep the world, why doesn't the lord still take the initiative? Yes, it must be because the expansion is too fast, and I am afraid of indigestion......

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was a little stunned, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, woke up Zhuge Liang and continued: "I was stunned by the new weapons of our Xuzhou New Army, and when you go south in the future, I will take you to see the combat effectiveness of my Phoenix Legion." ”

“…… Thank you so much, girl, it is indeed unheard of in the next place, it turns out that the equipment of our army is so sophisticated! It seems that Nizi is really joking, no wonder the soldiers heard that there might be a war, and they were all excited to do it.

In order to reduce losses, Li Yunfei personally led the army to the north, and his subordinates led the army to the rescue, although there was a certain certainty of defeating the coalition army, but even if he won, he would definitely suffer heavy losses......

After the last assassination incident, after seeing the power of the crossbowmen, there will definitely be some precautions, according to the report of the spies, the enemy has many and other teams are equipped with thick wooden shields, so the action will be very slow, but people hold shields and slowly advance, in addition to the bed crossbow can also be dealt with, ordinary steel crossbows and strong crossbows really can't deal with, they will definitely be attacked by the other party to the city, and then encounter short soldiers first, unless they abandon the city and flee, this is really the situation that the Northern Alliance is most willing to see, because the city is an important supply point, Without the city's supplies, the large bed crossbow would not have been put into use.

If you let the other party get close to the first hand, it will be more dangerous, the Northern Alliance can be said to be a fierce general, if it is really those fierce generals who are known as ten thousand enemies close to the formation and are scattered, it will be quite dangerous.

……

Early the next morning, Li Yunfei said goodbye to his wife and concubine, and ordered the military horse to prepare for the Northern Expedition, of course, Zhuge Liang also got up early in the morning, preparing to go south to take over the affairs of Jingzhou, and he was still a little excited in his heart.

I talked a lot with Li Yunfei alone last night, and learned countless new knowledge theories, which can only be described as shocking, and in a blink of an eye, I became a fan of Li Yunfei, and even performed the gift of master and apprentice on the spot.

"The matter of Yuanzhi Xuzhou is entrusted to you."

"Rest assured, the students will do their best."

"Kong Ming, this is my order, you can act cheaply in Jingzhou, I am waiting for your good news!" Li Yunfei directly gave Zhuge Liang a talisman, which is something that only his own people have, and the principle is that Zhuge Liang is a person from the beginning, since he came to vote, he would not have any other thoughts, so he directly gave the talisman.

"Thank you to the lord, the students will live up to the trust of the lord!" Zhuge Liang bowed deeply and said.

"Young man, show the world your unparalleled talent!" Li Yunfei said with a half-finished laugh, and simply turned the horse's head and left, leaving a few stunned people......

"Congratulations to Brother Kong Ming, I finally got what I wanted, and I can make great progress."

"Thank you Brother Yuan for your recommendation, my brother is grateful."

"Brother Kong Ming is polite, with your intelligence, it would be a great waste if you didn't work for the benefit of the people of Li."

"Brother Yuan praised it falsely, and the younger brother didn't dare to be ashamed."

"Brother Kong Ming, how did you become so modest?"

"The younger brother talked with the lord for a few hours last night and benefited a lot, but the younger brother was a frog at the bottom of the well before."

"I see, the depth of knowledge of the lord is beyond the reach of human beings, no wonder Brother Kong Ming was impressed." Xu Shu also sighed, he had communicated with Li Yunfei several times at the beginning, and was completely impressed by Li Yunfei's knowledge. It wasn't until later that Li Yunfei admitted in disguise that he was the reincarnation of an immortal, so Xu Shu was not surprised by some of Li Yunfei's often incomprehensible remarks.

Now Li Yunfei's forces, Lujiang City is the headquarters, there is Chen Gong sitting in the town is quite safe, Xuzhou has Xu Shu naturally no problems, although there is Liao Li in Dongwu, although he is not well-known, but in fact he is also a person with extraordinary intelligence, otherwise those wildfires in Dongwu would not have been extinguished so quickly. Now that Jingzhou has Zhuge Liang to operate, it is not a problem to deal with it. These people are all wise people, and they can be regarded as being squeezed out of all their potential by Li Yunfei.

Chen Gong is good at collecting and dispatching grain and grass, managing local administration, etc., although he may not be as good as others in IQ, but he is very serious and rigorous, and he can't make mistakes.

Xu Shu is good at strategy, it can be said that he is a talent with both civil and military skills, in fact, Xu Shu's martial arts are quite good, and he can be regarded as a general, but everyone doesn't know it.

Liao Li is good at trickery, and at the same time he is also a good hand at governing the place, so there should be no big deal if the land of Jiangdong is governed by him. As for Zhuge Liang, after more than two hours of communication last night, it can also be seen that he is almost an all-rounder, a top master of strategy.

With these people helping to manage the rear, it will be much easier for them to fight outside, and the defense will stabilize the money, food, weapons and equipment, and the soldiers will be sent in a steady stream, so everything is not a problem......

……

The ice on the Yellow River has melted, but several pontoon bridges have been built a long time ago, so you can directly lead horses across the river, and more than 100,000 people and horses cross the river from several pontoon bridges, and the scene is still very spectacular.

But in a blink of an eye, I saw a rather short figure in the crowd, I used to ride a horse and I didn't see it, but now I got off the horse and led it, and it was at most one meter six meters tall, which was really conspicuous among the crowd.

It's really weird, that kid is still dressed as his own guard, and his own guards are all tall and fierce, how can there be such a short man, why haven't I seen it before? It's unlikely to be a spy, though, because this head is too conspicuous, but there's definitely something wrong with that.

"Thirty-six, go and bring me the short man in front!"

“…… Promise! Thirty-six hesitated for a moment, and finally went to bring someone over, but the little man never dared to raise his head, but it was useless to bow his head even if he got close, it turned out to be Miss Xiao Qiao.

"How are you?" A little surprised how the girl kept up.

"General, please don't drive me away, I'm just acting on orders, and the young lady asked me to serve the general." Xiao Qiao hurriedly explained, but in fact, she took the initiative to ask Lu Lingqi for help.

"What nonsense...... Forget it, just stay with me for the time being! "It's so far away now, and it's not appropriate to send people back, so I can only take them with me.

"Thank you, General!" It turned out to be like this, and Xiao Qiao was a little surprised, but he was really happy.

"Stay in my tent at night!"

"Oh!" Xiao Qiao answered softly, but his face turned red.

"Little girl, what do you think, I'm just afraid that you will be eaten alive by that pack of wolves!" pinched Xiao Qiao's face and said.

"Hmm!" Xiao Qiao answered again and obediently followed Li Yunfei's side.

Although she didn't quite understand what the general meant, she felt that the general cared about her, and she was a little looking forward to it......
