Immediately, he didn't care about brotherly etiquette, so he hurriedly grabbed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and dragged them towards the direction outside the tent——

"It's not good. When I was patrolling the south side of the camp on my horse, I saw a group of troops coming towards the direction where we set up camp!"

"Because the distance is still far away, I didn't see it clearly... But judging by the bustle and bustle, there are at least tens of thousands of weights!"

Thinking of what he saw and heard outside the camp just now, Guan Yu frowned subconsciously.

……

"Hiss—tens of thousands of troops!?"

"Could this be some forbidden army under the command of the emperor!"

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei jumped up before Liu Bei could say anything.

"Could it be that Dong Zhuo sent troops here!"

"Don't let him get close to here, second brother, go with me and lead the troops to stop them!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei hurriedly wanted to return to his own tent.

The spear made of cold iron was being placed in the tent by him.

Without a weapon at his fingertips, his strength would have dropped by at least a few percent!

……

"Hey, Yide, wait a minute!"

All of a sudden, Zhang Fei felt a huge force coming from his hands, and he and Guan Yu were pulled in place without moving.

Turning around to look, it was naturally Liu Bei who heard the words and had already stood up and stood in front of them.

I saw that although Liu Bei looked gentle and elegant, when he stood up, he was more than seven feet tall and nearly eight feet tall.

Although he is currently wearing rough linen clothes, he can't see any muscles... But judging by his height, Liu Bei is not a frail scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then said to the two of them:

"You two younger brothers, don't be anxious. It's getting dark now. It's still unknown who is coming. It may not be the army under that thief Dong Zhuo."

"You know, our place is fast forward to Chenliu, and it's thousands of miles away from Changluo. It's unlikely that he will send troops here directly."

……

Then, as if confident in his judgment, Liu Bei reached out and stroked his beard, and said in a low voice:

"I have heard that Cao Mengde announced Dong Zhuo's crimes to the world this time, and many benevolent and righteous men chose to raise troops to support them. Maybe the people who came here were troops under the command of a certain eunuch."

"Like the two brothers of the Yuan family, Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, and my classmate Gongsun Bogui, which one is not a hero with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command?"

……

"Hey, a prefect can support tens of thousands, even tens of thousands of troops!?"

As if they couldn't believe it, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's eyes widened at the same time.

You know, the Eastern Han Dynasty had [-] or [-] counties. If a single county could support tens of thousands of troops, how rich would this county be?

Even when the imperial court tried its best to wipe out Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban thief, it was nothing more than mobilizing more than [-] troops...

Why now, according to what their big brother Liu Bei said, Chenliu County alone has assembled an army no less than the size of the Julu Battle back then?

Could it be that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers here?

……

"Hehe, Yunchang, Yide, you don't pay much attention to political affairs on weekdays, and it's normal for you to be unfamiliar with these things."

Smiling and patted the shoulders of the two, Liu Bei said slowly:

"In Dahan, although they belong to the same county, how can a prosperous place be compared with a place of bitter cold?"

"Some counties and cities are poorer, such as Tianshui, Wuwei, Xuantu and other places. There are few people and there is extreme cold outside the Great Wall. The population may be more, but there are only [-] to [-] people."

"And others, such as Hanoi, Hanzhong, Dongjun and other places, not to mention rich products, pleasant climate, fertile land, like flowing gold, the entire county has a population of 60 to [-] people!"

"Not to mention Runan, Bohai and other places... Which one is not a big city with a population of one million?"

"The population in these places is prosperous, so as the prefect, you will naturally be able to recruit more troops."

"Yun Chang, Yi De, you have been following me in the Youzhou area for a long time, and you haven't taken the prosperous area of ​​Guanzhong very much, so naturally you don't know about it."

……

Chapter 10 Two and a half years of military training

"Hiss——Looking at it this way, the gap between the two men is so big!"

"This is a bit beyond my expectation."

"Leading tens of thousands of troops to fight is no different from that big man's general, and even more comfortable!"

There was a gleam of light in his eyes, Zhang Fei said enviously.

As a local wealthy businessman in Zhuo County, Zhang Fei actually has a lot of money, and he is not considered poor among the people of the same class.

But no matter how rich he was, when he sold Taoyuan, dismissed his servants, and used the property of his family to pay off the debt, he only recruited hundreds of people for Liu Bei.

Many of the weapons and armor of these hundreds of people were donated by merchants from the same county that Liu Bei and his three brothers met later.With his family's financial resources, it is impossible to support so many troops.

It can be said that in the past five or six years, the largest battlefield Zhang Fei has experienced is nothing more than a small-scale fight of hundreds or thousands of people.

Now hearing Liu Bei say that those prefects and state shepherds can support tens of thousands of troops with the strength of one county, Zhang Fei almost wrote the word envy on his face.

……

"Oh, that's exactly..."

In front of Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's expression was also somewhat sad.

Yes, both are local prefects, and they are both officials with real power, but I have to admit that there is a huge gap between different regions.

……

And according to what his second brother Guan Yu said just now, this army of tens of thousands of people is coming from the south towards his direction...

I don't know which hero of this big man is the leader of this trilogy?

I don't know what year and month I am, can be like these people, truly guard one side and contribute to the future of the big man?

……

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, you two, Yun Chang and Yi De, go out of the camp with me first, and see who is this coming."

"This is the time when Cao Mengde announced to the world with his coquettish edict. Maybe it is the King Qin army who is coming. We can also try to communicate with the other party and borrow some food..."

"Thinking that the opponent's army is so powerful, it is not difficult to lend us some of the remaining rations."

"We just need to keep in mind the kindness of each other. When we meet on the battlefield in the future, we just need to take care of each other."

Bowing his head and stroking his beard, Liu Bei finally made a decision, then took his two younger brothers and walked towards the gate of the camp.

It is estimated that in a short while, the vanguard of the opponent's army will run into them.

At that time, if you talk to the other side as yourself as the Qin King Army, there is a high probability that you will be able to meet the leader of the other side's army.

As long as they meet each other, Liu Bei believes that with his three-inch tongue, it is not a certainty to ask for some food back?

……

But at this moment, Zhang Yan, who was sitting in the army in the distance, felt a little tired.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since he received Cao Cao's letter.

Because of Zhang Yan's special status, the messenger Cao Cao sent to find him was not even an ordinary messenger, but a newly recruited general under his command, Le Jin, one of the five famous generals of Cao Wei in the future.

Using such a general as an envoy, invite myself to Chenliu for an alliance...

It has to be said that Cao Cao has already shown his sincerity in this matter.

……

As for Zhang Yan, he had naturally been waiting for a long time.

After silently farming and training soldiers for two and a half years, he had been secretly looking forward to this day in his heart.

After learning about Le Jin's intentions, Zhang Yan immediately decided to make a decision. With the three existing legions in Lujiang as the core, supplemented by a temporary recruited part of the supply team, with a large amount of food, grass and military equipment, the group went like this He marched towards Chen Liujin mightily.

Even because the war against Dong Zhuo was too important, Zhang Yan did not leave a decent reserve team to guard the Lujiang River. Instead, he chose to follow Lu Su's suggestion and mobilize the troops trained in Danyang County. Some of them went to Lujiang, and were responsible for the security work near Lujiang during the period when they and others went on an expedition.

Naturally, Liao Hua became the leader of the remaining defenders.

……

Today's Lujiang Expeditionary Army has fierce generals such as Yang Feng and Han Xian killing the enemy in front of the formation, and experienced veterans such as Pei Yuanshao sweeping the formation. It can be said that it is the most powerful moment in the entire history of Lujiang's army establishment.

The existence of Lu Su, Fazheng and others made up for the shortcomings of this army, making it a truly powerful army that can rival the current mainstream army of the Han Dynasty.

On the day of the official departure, in Zhang Yan's mind, there were even scenes of himself making meritorious deeds, cracking the soil and becoming a marquis, and even using this as a foundation to completely calm down the big man.

But he didn't expect...

The first enemy I encountered when I led the team was neither the outrageous Xiliang iron cavalry led by famous generals such as Hua Xiong in my impression, nor Lu Bu who stomped his feet in the entire history of China. All generals must follow suit Three trembling ruthless people.

Zhang Yan led an entire army of nearly 6 people with more than 7 people, and the first enemy he encountered after setting off was the dissatisfaction caused by the severe climate difference between the north and the south.

In just three or two days, Zhang Yan fell into the hands of this enemy.

……

As the saying goes, one side nourishes the other side,

Suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment, Zhang Yan soon fell ill.

When I went south from Luoyang to Lujiang, because the speed of travel was not too fast, it took more than a month and almost two months to walk the whole way, so Zhang Yan didn't feel anything too obvious.

It's just that after arriving in Lujiang, he got used to the local diet a little bit, and he quickly adapted to here.

But this time, Zhang Yan traveled all the way to the north. In just ten days, he traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, and arrived near Chenliu County all the way——

There is no way, the army travel is not like traveling, if you walk slowly, I am afraid that the army rations will be eaten up by everyone on the road.

As we all know, the exhaustion of boats and cars is already killing people's minds.

In addition, Chen Liu's weather this year is extremely abnormal. It is already April, and there are still a few snowflakes falling occasionally, and the temperature is unbearably cold...
