The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 525 Confrontation
What is the concept of a 20 army?
Lin Xi didn't know it before, but today he finally saw it.

To be exact, it was indeed spectacular, especially when Yuan Shao intentionally planted more flags, the 20 troops bowed down to the city, it was indeed spectacular, it is not an exaggeration to say that the flags were all over the sky, and the flow of the whip was cut off.

However, it is worth mentioning that people in this era have a completely different concept of numbers from those in later generations.

To make a simple analogy, a larger county in later generations has a population of more than 50.At this time, the registered population of the entire Taishan County was more than [-].

The current population of the entire Han Dynasty is about [-] million, which is not as good as the population of a large province in later generations.

Therefore, the number of 20 troops, in the eyes of the people of the world, is similar to that of the tens of millions of troops in later generations.

Of course, Yuan Shao would not say that he only had 20 troops, but what he claimed was... 70!

Well, although it is not comparable to the terrifying number of 80 troops that Cao Cao claimed during the Battle of Chibi, it is not far behind.

In terms of bluffing people, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can be said to be brilliant for a while, and they can also be tied for crouching dragons and phoenixes.

Of course, this kind of nonsense can't fool Xuzhou. After all, the school office has been established for several years, and the secret work has already spread to all parts of the world. Although the degree of penetration varies, the approximate number of Yuan Shao's troops can still be figured out. of.

On the city tower, Lin Xi and Jushou stood side by side, staring fixedly at Yuan Shao's army below, with serious expressions on their faces.

Not to mention them, even Zhang Xiu, who had the longest battle time and the fastest charge among the few, couldn't help muttering a few times at this moment.

The sense of oppression brought by the 20 troops, even across the city wall, can still make people feel a chill in the back.

Under the attack of 20 regular troops, the five-foot-high city wall in front of him might not be able to resist even three to five days.

For a moment, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Xiu all set their sights on Lin Xi.

Lin Xi, on the other hand, set her sights on Jushou.

But Jushou turned his head slightly again, and looked at Liu Bei who was dressed as a soldier not far away.

That's right, Liu Bei is also on the tower at this time.

Probably because he didn't drink enough yesterday, Liu Bei took everyone to eat again today, but halfway through the meal, he heard a report from the soldiers saying that Yuan Shao led an army to surround him.

Liu Bei was so angry at that time that he didn't even eat the banquet, drew his sword and strode out.

Yuan Shao, my son, I haven't looked for you yet, but you have sent me to the door by yourself. This time, I will chop off your dog's head!

Jushou knew that it was not time for Liu Bei to appear, so he stood up to stop him.But Liu Bei only wanted to chop off Yuan Shao's dog's head at this time, so he was not willing to listen.

However, after Lin Xi, Xu Huang and others also joined the ranks of persuasion, Liu Bei suddenly felt a little helpless.

Okay, you said that XX can't show up yet, so XX pretends to be a soldier, this is the head office!

If not, you guys... have you heard of Gu Ying's swordsmanship?
Thus, there was this scene on the city wall.

Xu Huang and the others are Lin Xi's subordinates, so they naturally depend on Lin Xi's face, and Lin Xi has to make up his mind.But in front of Liu Bei, Ju Shou was naturally reluctant to give orders directly, so he subconsciously took a look at Liu Bei's face.

This is actually a kind of temptation. Facing the 20 troops outside the city, if Liu Bei showed any fear in his eyes, Jushou would definitely find a way to ask Liu Bei to go to the rear to preside over the relocation of the people.

No one is perfect, no gold is pure.

Liu Bei is very qualified as a monarch, but this does not mean that he will not be afraid.

But Jushou gave this look, but Liu Beihui misunderstood it.

He slightly raised his head to look at the army outside the city, and then murmured to Jushou: "Gongyu, there are quite a lot of soldiers and horses under the command of the old thief Yuan Shao. Now that he has come from a long way, should we take advantage of his unstable foothold?" , send some cavalry out of the city to charge for a while?"

Ju Shou:? ? ?
My lord, in the face of so many soldiers and horses of the enemy, you can understand whether you are afraid or fearful, or even propose to retreat... But what is the meaning of the excitement in your eyes!
Of course Liu Bei didn't mean anything, he just wanted to go out and give him a vote.

Ju Shou said in a low voice: "My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. He Yuan Benchu ​​puts on such a formation, there must be more to come. Let's adapt to the situation... My lord, please go further, don't let the enemy see your identity."

"Forehead……"

Liu Bei came to his senses immediately, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps, pretending to be Lin Xi's personal soldier here.

As expected, just a moment later, the army under the city gave way to a passage in the middle, and then several people came out on tall horses.

The leader is Yuan Shao!

Beside him, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin and other princes, big and small, followed suit like vassals.

The guard beside Yuan Shao was none other than Wen Chou, whose arm was cut off by Zhang Liao in the battle of Banyang in the past.

Seeing Yuan Shao appearing, Liu Bei hurriedly backed away again, so that the princes under the city would not recognize him.

Yuan Shao and the others rode forward, but stopped two hundred steps away from the city gate. This distance was just outside the range of bows and arrows, which was enough to ensure safety.

I saw the one-armed Wen Chou continue to move forward, and when he was about a hundred steps away from the city gate, he went up to the tower and shouted: "Let me, Lord Yuan, ask General Lin Zixu to answer before the battle!"

"Invite someone to answer before the battle?"

On the tower, Lin Xi said with a puzzled face.

Jushou next to him suddenly smiled and said, "Why, is Zixu afraid?"

"Naturally, I'm not afraid, but I don't understand what Yuan Benchu's actions mean." Lin Xi sneered, "Yuan Benchu ​​came here with a large army but didn't attack the city. Could it be that he wanted to recruit someone to fail!"

Ju Shou nodded and said, "Zi Xu has a high opinion, Yuan Benchu ​​should have thought so."

Lin Xi: ...

Could it be that Yuan Benchu ​​is a fool!

With this in mind, Lin Xi ordered on the spot: "General Huang, please shoot the thieves in the city to death!"

"As ordered!"

Huang Zhong agreed, and immediately took off the longbow on his back, and was about to shoot an arrow.

"Slow down!"

Seeing this, Ju Shou immediately stopped him and said, "Zixu, don't forget our mission for this battle. Isn't Yuan Benchu's pretentiousness a great opportunity to procrastinate?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said: "Mr., what you said is very true!"

Then he leaned on the city wall and shouted to Wen Chou below: "Listen, general, Yuan Benchu ​​didn't think that someone was a fool! You have hundreds of thousands of troops behind you, but you pretend to invite someone to answer before the battle, I'm afraid that someone just When he left the city gate, he was besieged by the army and ended up dead without a place to bury him!
If Yuan Benchu ​​sincerely invites a certain person to meet him before the battle, why not order the army to retreat ten miles, and a certain person will come out of the city to meet him! "
