Chapter 2425 The Most Elite Army

...

"Li Jue and the others are actually here. It seems like there will be a lot of interesting things on this journey..." Lu Bu retracted his gaze and spoke calmly to Li Jue, Guo Si and the others.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were listening on the side, looked at each other and shook their heads.

In this regard, there is really nothing they need to pay attention to.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is indeed very strong, but their Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is no pushover either. If they really fight, it is still unclear who will win or lose.

As for Lu Bu himself, he was even less afraid of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Because in terms of individual strength, the success rate of these people wanting to kill him is basically zero, unless a large army is mobilized, there is such a possibility and success rate.

In this regard, even Lu Bu had to admit that those guys were indeed very capable in cavalry command.

But in the current environment, Lu Bu didn't even know how to write the word "fear".

There are only two legions of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and one legion of Xianzhen Camp, even if there are only more than 10,000 people in total, it is enough to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

On the other side, when Li Jue, Guo Si and others were gathering towards the Feixiong Army, in addition to seeing Wan Peng and others who were there to greet them, they also saw a very familiar acquaintance.

An acquaintance who is far superior to Duan Yun is Hua Xiong, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and once the pinnacle of individual martial power.

Witnessing Hua Xiong's appearance, Li Jue's eyes flashed with excitement and joy that were difficult to conceal.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, they brothers still have the opportunity and hope to unite.

Guo Si and Fan Chou noticed Hua Xiong's existence, and their tone became much more cautious in their subsequent contacts and conversations, and their words revealed a natural and familiar taste.

"Hua Zijian, I didn't expect you to come. It seems that our opponent this time is indeed not simple!" Li Jue was briefly happy and delighted, and then he did not hide his inquiry and thinking, and said confidently, "I heard Sima Zhongda say that we are going to visit, but now it doesn't look like a visit at all."

"Yeah, I never thought that I would come here. I thought I would just stay around Chang'an and garrison there..." It can be said that Hua Xiong was a little embarrassed about his experience, but it was understandable.

"With you here, we should be able to gain an advantage even if we really face the Roman cavalry..." He was not sure about the opponent's strength, but in order to save face, Li Jue chose to overestimate the opponent's strength.

On the one hand, the opponent did say so, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent his colleague from becoming hostile in the current situation.

When Hua Xiong heard this, he did not try to hide it. He took out the letter written by military advisor Li You from his sleeve and gave it to Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou. After reading it, the three of them made their own decisions.

In fact, the three of them didn't have time to finish reading it. They just confirmed some words and traces on the data. After confirming the traces, they chose to obey the order.

"Heavy cavalry? This type of troops was quite rare in the past..." Hua Xiong generally believed the information provided by everyone and had a basic understanding of the basic situation.

But it was precisely because of this understanding that Hua Xiong felt truly confused, but he couldn't think of any words to refute this situation.

It can be said that the country and the army in the past were not wealthy at all, let alone forming a proper heavy cavalry.

The state was not willing to contribute to feeding the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, because the cost was far beyond the upper limit that Emperor Ling of Han could accept. It can even be said that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not fed by the state, but a private force fed by Dong Zhuo.

However, the cost of feeding Dong Zhuo essentially came from looted materials.

It can be said that the national situation at that time was so bad.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry could not even afford to maintain the leather-armored cavalry. Even at the beginning of its formation, it did not even have a real spear, let alone the heavy cavalry which had extremely high requirements for equipment.

Li Jue and others who received the letter from Hua Xiong looked at each other, and finally the letter was returned to Li Jue.

Hua Xiong has become accustomed to this scene.

Although everyone is a high-ranking official, it does not mean that everyone can read.

From this perspective, the previous era was actually quite fair. If you had military power and ability, you could get promoted in that chaotic situation.

As for now?
Once the rules begin to be formulated and promotions have their own conditions, it will no longer be as simple as before.

Military merit will no longer be as easy to obtain as before.

It is precisely because of this that, faced with this rare situation, Hua Xiong also submitted an application and chose to participate in the action.

On the one hand, you can get to know your former colleagues, and on the other hand, it can also be regarded as leaving behind an accumulation for your descendants.

After reading the letter delivered by Li You, Li Jue and others chose to act according to the contents of the letter instead of letting their own moods run wild and provoking or teasing others.

In Congling City, Sima Yi spent some time counting all the troops that had arrived and their number.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun from Bingzhou had a total of about 10,000 people; Guan Hai from the princess's faction had nearly 5,000 soldiers; Gongsun Zan from the Gongsun faction had more than 5,000 soldiers; Sun Quan, Li Yan and Lu Meng from the Yuan faction had a total of more than 10,000 people; Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou from the Xiliang faction had a total of about 10,000 people; Xiahou Dun, Pang De, Ma Chao and Cao Chun from Cao Cao had about 23,000 people; and Liu Bei's faction, including Hua Xiong, Xu Shu, Sima Yi and Duan Yun, had a total of more than 20,000 people.

After calculating the number of troops, Sima Yi knew that the total number of people exceeded the target number calculated at the beginning.

However, after learning about the army, Sima Yi did not raise any objections.

After all these years, this is the most elite army he has ever seen, no doubt about it.

There are as many as five legions that can be called elite for decisive battles, so their combat effectiveness is naturally self-evident.

If this small army was destroyed, even the Han Empire would not be much better off, even if it could not be called seriously injured.

But despite his happiness, Sima Yi couldn't help but feel a headache.

The quality of the army was beyond his imagination, but the complexity of the factions was not so easy to deal with.
