There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses?

Qin Feng laughed secretly in his heart, no matter how capable Liu Bei is, it is impossible to recruit more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Pingyu City alone in two days, this Yuan Li does not make drafts when he speaks, thinking that he is very easy to coax.

He said: "Doesn't Duke Yuan think that it is too hasty to raise troops to attack Xu Du at this time? ”

Yuan Li said, "Why did the general say that? Liu Bei has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, there are more than 10,000 generals, there are 20,000 troops in one place, this time the troops went north before arriving in Xudu there are still twenty or thirty cities in the city, all the way to fight in the past can also collect the defeated generals, the next city will recruit troops and horses, when arriving at the city of Xudu, I am afraid that there will not be 100,000 troops, most of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have been transferred to the north to confront the original, and the soldiers and horses left in Xudu are only twenty or thirty thousand at most, and I will break Xu Du with an army of 100,000 to him 30,000, and Xu Du will be broken! ”

Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and scolded secretly in his heart, you old boy don't understand bullshit, or do you deliberately draw a big pie to coax Lao Tzu? Fight all the way to many cities to get 100,000 soldiers and horses? You think it's as easy to recruit as it is to harvest crops? You can collect it as much as you want?

He got up and pretended to be displeased: "It's just a confession, Yuan Gongdang is a three-year-old child?" I dare to assert that Liu Da'er's subordinates have a maximum of three or five thousand people at the moment, and most of them are still Liu Pi and Gong Du's bandits, and you are just taking advantage of Cai Yang to lead the army to attack me, so that the defense force of Pingyu is weak to succeed, and there will be more than 10,000 soldiers and horses within two days? How can he Liu Da'er? What is the population of the whole Pingyu? At most, 20,000, is it possible that even the old and weak women and children have gone to serve in the army? ”

Yuan Li was exposed to the trick in his heart, and his face was slightly embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and quickly returned to normal, and said: "The general is angry, and the old man doesn't want to coax the general, isn't this for the sake of the overall situation of fighting against Cao Apu?" If the old man didn't say so, how could the general be willing to lead the army to fight against the Cao thief? ”

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "This is not the best time to go north!" ”

"Why? But the original letter said that we should start it as soon as possible! Yuan Li frowned.

Qin Feng had no choice but to say: "First, the soldiers and horses under my command and Liu Bei are not well trained, and if the sergeants are not trained enough, they will be defeated when they are pulled on the battlefield and meet the enemy; Second, there is still a strong enemy on our side, this person is Li Tong, he has 5,000 soldiers and horses, equipment and armament, if we rush north, he will lead the army to cut off my grain and attack my back, I am afraid that we will be defeated before we reach the city of Xudu! ”

"The general doesn't have to worry, I don't have to tell Li Tong's five thousand soldiers and horses to do nothing!" Yuan Li swore an oath.

Qin Feng just didn't allow it, "Duke Yuan, the matter of burning grain and grass can never be done again, with the lesson of burning grain and grass once, Li Tong will inevitably strengthen his vigilance, if you don't solve Li Tong first, I will definitely not dare to easily lead the army north!" Why didn't Yuan Gong go back to Pingyu to discuss with Liu Xuande, and we would fight Li Tong first, and then go north? ”

"This ······" Yuan Li hesitated, he thought about it, this Li Tong is indeed a threat, "Okay, the old man will return to Pingyu to discuss with Liu Xuande about attacking Li Tong first!" ”

Sending Yuan Li away, Qin Feng pondered in his heart, it is not impossible to beat Li Tong, whether to fight or not, the purpose is to get an official body, this year is really not easy to mix, and if he wants to recruit troops and horses, he barely recruited 5,000 people after spending all his money in the twelve counties under his control.

At present, although the world is divided, and the princes are fighting each other and doing their own thing, they are still nominally under the rule of the Han court, and there is no way out for them to be the king of the mountains after all, so it is serious to find an official robe to put on.

In the evening of this day, Yan Xiang took Zhao Yan and Li Tong and others back to Xincai, Zhao Yan couldn't afford it, and he couldn't wait, he was worried that Liu Bei and Qin Feng would unite, but he was afraid that Runan would be completely out of control.

County office.

"Lord Qi, Zhao Yan asks to see!" A sergeant came in to give a report.

Qin Feng looked at Yang Hong, who was kneeling on the side, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Please!"

"No!"

Zhao Yan quickly walked in with Li Tong, who was dressed as a guard, and saluted: "Zhao Yan has seen the general!" ”

"Zhao County Order doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, General!" After thanking him, Zhao Yan walked to the side and knelt on the cushion after a long time.

Qin Feng asked, "I don't know what happened to Zhao County's late night visit?" ”

Zhao Yan said: "Don't hide it from the general, I came to see the general this time not because I was sent by the court and the minister, but in private!" ”

Qin Feng's face showed a look of mockery: "Zhao County's order did this, aren't you afraid that I will cut off your head and take it to feed the dogs?" ”

"The general is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he will not embarrass my little county order!"

"Not really! Pull someone, drag this person down, cut off his head, and feed the dogs! Qin Feng slapped the desk and shouted.

A few soldiers rushed in.

Zhao Yan was not in a hurry, got up and said: "General, please let me finish speaking, if you want to kill, you must listen to the respect!" ”

"Hmph, I want to see how you are honest and clever in your words!"

Zhao Yan was quite surprised, this thief head was actually exported, and he had such a literary style?

He reined in his mind and immediately said: "Born in troubled times, with the ability of a general, you must want to do something, otherwise how can you be worthy of this useful body?" And the general has no family background, and the other has no official body, although there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the general's command, he is still only a thief leader! ”

"The prime minister has always had great ambitions, and the court also has signs of prosperity under the auspices of the prime minister, and the world knows that the prime minister has always loved talents, if it is a scribe, he may not necessarily be reused when he goes to get along with him, after all, the prime minister has Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and the like around him, but the prime minister is not around him There is a lack of such a fierce general as the general, with the general's martial courage, he will be reused when he arrives at the prime minister's side, and the marquis will worship the general, and the glorious lintel is not a problem!"

"If the general is interested, I can recommend the general for the prime minister!"

Qin Feng said: "I have a white body, and I also have the identity of a thief, can the prime minister look down on me?" ”

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "The general doesn't know, there are many generals under the prime minister's command who are all born as thieves, and Bian Xi, the general of Xuzhou Zangba and Bishui Pass, ······"

Cao Cao did have many generals who were born as thieves, and in terms of employing people, his pattern was obviously much more atmospheric than Liu Da'er and Blue-eyed, and he had issued three recruitment orders to recruit talents.

Liu Da'er has no way to use Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others, there is really no one to use under his subordinates, after occupying Jingzhou, Pang Shiyuan will make the county order below, if it is not recommended by Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, Pang Shiyuan does not know how long to do the county order.

Qin Feng stared at Zhao Yan, took a sip of wine, put it in the wine cup and said: "Ren Ru said it all over the place, but you are just a small county order after all, how can you let Cao Cao adopt your advice?" ”
