Chapter 86 Lu Bu Invites a Battle
Huaiyin County, martial arts field.

Lu Bu took the pills handed over by Liu Xuan and asked,
"Lord, what kind of pill is this?"

Liu Xuan: "Liuwei Dihuang Pills, tonify the kidneys."

Lu Bu blushed. Since he came to Huaiyin, his life has temporarily settled down.
Diao Chan somehow became more and more clinging to herself,

He often wakes up in the middle of the night and has to do a lot of hard work. Even though Lu Bu has been practicing martial arts all year round, he secretly feels that it is too much and he occasionally suffers from backache and fatigue.

"My lord is really considerate."

Lu Bu took the pill and threw it directly into his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth and the power of the medicine dispersed. Lu Bu felt that the flesh and blood of his limbs began to burn.
The already strong body became more powerful, and the feeling of backache was gone.

"Good stuff!" Lu Bu praised loudly.

Lu Bu clenched his fists and the muscles on his arms swelled. Lu Bu closed his eyes and felt it.
"I feel that my martial arts skills have improved a lot."

After that, he bowed deeply to Liu Xuan and said, "Lü Bu thanks you, my lord."

Liu Xuan smiled faintly, how could he not know the effect of this body-tempering pill.

The stronger the body, the better the effect of this pill will be.

Of the [-] pills, Tiger Camp and Running Wolf Camp used [-] pills.

The rest of the guard camp and Jia Xu and others have used some more, and now there are more than 4000.

Liu Xuan took out a few more body-tempering pills and gave them to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. Diao Chan and Lu Qiling also got one each.

After everyone took the pills, their physical strength increased visibly, and they were naturally extremely grateful to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan led everyone to the place where new soldiers were trained.

Huaiyin County currently has 3000 Tiger Battalion personnel, 2000 previously recruited soldiers, and 5000 new recruits currently training in the martial arts field.

A small county town has ten thousand soldiers, which is absolutely impossible in other counties.
That is to say, Liu Xuan had endless rice, coupled with Huaiyin's countless money and abundant grain and vegetable production, could he support the consumption of so many soldiers.

Liu Xuan said to Gao Shun: "Filial father, I heard that you are good at training soldiers and are quite accomplished in battle techniques. I would like to leave the training of new soldiers to you for the time being. You can ask for any conditions, but I only ask that you train new soldiers." Bring out the best people."

Gao Shun has a face with Chinese characters, and his expression is always extremely serious, with no trace of sadness or joy.

Hearing that Liu Xuan wanted to leave the military training to him, he said,
"My lord has orders, and Gao Shun will never disobey his orders. However, there are not many elite soldiers. With Gao Shun's requirements, it is estimated that not many of these five thousand elite soldiers can be of great use."

Liu Xuandao: "The requirements you mentioned were the criteria for falling into the camp in the first place?"

Hearing this, Gao Shun's calm expression finally showed a trace of emotion.
"Lord, do you know you are trapped in the camp?"

"Haha, the ambition to trap the enemy is life or death. How could I not know about the famous trap?"

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "If you can train another trap camp, I will prepare all the equipment for you and you will still lead it."

Although there was a trace of yearning in Gao Shun's eyes, he still shook his head and said,

"It's so difficult to practice falling into the camp again."

"Although the trapping camp I trained previously has a proud record, it also has a fatal flaw. I'm afraid the trapping camp will never be able to achieve glory again."

When Liu Xuan and Lu Bu heard this, they were both surprised and asked,

"What are the disadvantages?"

"The ambition to be trapped in a battle is life-or-death. This is the fighting spirit of the trapped camp. When two armies clash, the brave will win. However, although the brave is brave, he is still a mortal body and will be injured and killed." Gao Shun Speaking of this, there are some sad words,

"Since the establishment of the trapped camp, the number of people has never exceeded a thousand. The main reason is that the casualties are too high. Replenishing new recruits requires extremely high combat literacy, which cannot be cultivated overnight. Therefore, if the fatal flaw of too high casualties cannot be solved, , it will be difficult to fall into the camp."

Liu Xuan nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. If you can't save your life in the battlefield, everything is empty talk."

"If soldiers trapped in the camp wear invulnerable armor, can casualties be reduced?"

"That's natural, but how can you get into battle and kill the enemy when you put on invulnerable armor?" Gao Shun explained, "If you want armor to be invulnerable, you need to use thick iron plates as armor, but iron armor that can protect the vital parts of the body, light iron armor itself It weighs more than a hundred kilograms. When soldiers wear such heavy armor, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, and the gain outweighs the gain."

"Moreover, the armor is made of thick iron plates, and there are many obstacles at the joints. The soldiers cannot move, so how can they kill the enemy?"

After Gao Shun analyzed these eloquently, he still thought with great hope,

"Unless you have invulnerable and lightweight armor to protect your body, you can truly become an invincible trump card if you are trapped in the camp."

After listening to Gao Shun's words, Liu Xuan fell into deep thought.
Then he suddenly laughed easily and patted Gao Shun on the shoulder.

"There will be. You just need to refine the elite soldiers, and I will definitely be able to satisfy you with the equipment."

Lu Bu also patted Gao Shun and said, "Brother, don't be burdened. If the master says it can be done, it will be done. The rest is up to you."

Listening to Lu Bu's encouragement, Gao Shun was refreshed and his fighting spirit was rekindled.

"Don't worry, my lord, Gao Shun will definitely be able to regain the glory of being trapped in the camp."

Liu Xuan left the martial arts arena and called Zhao Liniang into the inner room. With a thought, he took out a dozen drawings from a hidden corner.
It is the first process that Tiangongkaiwu with the wheel plate turned out: the alloy steel forging process.

"Liniang, go to the Wanliu Lane Workshop and work with the blacksmith to study the things on this drawing."

Liu Xuan believed that with Zhao Liniang's current potential and such detailed drawing guidance, it would not be difficult to successfully develop alloy steel.

As soon as he left the inner room, he saw Cheng Hu rushing over.

There was worry in his expression, but also a hint of excitement.

"My Lord, a messenger from Sheyang has come to report that Guangling Yan Baihu has led ten thousand troops and is marching towards Sheyang."

. . .

In the meeting hall, Liu Xuan sat in the main seat.
Jia Xu, Cheng Hu, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals were sitting on the left and right.

"Everyone already knows that Guangling Yan Baihu led ten thousand troops to attack Sheyang. How should we respond? Do you have any suggestions?"

Jia Xu was the first to speak,

"Yan Baihu took the initiative to attack, which is a good thing for us. We originally planned to capture Guangling, but now Yan Baihu takes the initiative to leave the city. For us, we can eliminate the defenders in advance and reduce the pressure for subsequent siege."

"So in the Battle of Sheyang, Jia Xu believes that annihilating Yan Baihu's soldiers as much as possible is the top priority."

Lu Bu smiled freely and said, "That's simple, just surround Yan Baihu and beat him."

Jia Xu shook his head slightly: "The Art of War says that when five are surrounded, Yan Baihu has ten thousand soldiers. Logically speaking, our army needs fifty thousand to besiege Yan Baihu. Even if our army is all elite, it must at least be better than Yan Baihu's." It takes more people.”

"Although Huaiyin currently has [-] soldiers, the [-] new soldiers cannot go to the battlefield yet, and part of the [-] Tiger Battalion must be left to guard the rear in case of unexpected events."

"There are currently only 3000 to [-] people who can fight."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "2000 men are enough. My lord, Lu Bu asks for orders to lead two thousand soldiers to surround Yan Baihu."
