Xinye’s unusual behavior. [Source of this book www.
Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Wenpin and others worked hard to train soldiers and horses, and Lu Su even began to train field soldiers in a planned way.
The combat effectiveness of the Xinye army has attracted worldwide attention. But now that three generals including Wenpin and Gan Ning continue to practice diligently, their intentions are really clear.
Coupled with the training of field soldiers.
You must know that Xinye's power is strong enough, but there are also places where it can be criticized. Logically speaking, with a population of nearly two million, there are only seven armies and 42,000 elite soldiers.
Although they are all very powerful in combat, their numbers are really insufficient.
It would take 80,000 elite soldiers to kill only to be worthy of Lu Su's power.
This is one of the reasons why the princes in the world look down upon Lu Su. But what happened now? Lu Su actually started training soldiers in the field.
With Lu Su's conquests in the east and west, the number of these field soldiers has reached 40,000 to 50,000. If they are trained into an army, doesn't it mean that Lu Su's army will immediately increase by half?
This news immediately spread to Wancheng, making Wancheng guard Cao Ren nervous.
At this moment, in Wancheng City, in the study of the General's Mansion.
Cao Ren was discussing countermeasures with Man Chong under his tent.
Since Lu Su's last Northern Expedition, Cao Cao felt that Cao Ren did not have a capable lieutenant, so he left Man Chong with Cao Ren.
"I had two battles with Xinye and lost a lot of soldiers. Although I got some reinforcements later, there were only 15,000 men. If we relied on the height of Wancheng, Lu Su's own soldiers were not many, and they were enough to resist. But
If Lu Su's military strength increases by forty or fifty thousand, Wancheng will be in danger."
Cao Ren's face was extremely solemn and he said.
"It's not just Wancheng that's in danger. The general thought, if Wancheng is captured, Lu Su can attack Yingchuan and enter Xudu. And how many troops does Xudu have now? They only have 10,000 elite soldiers."
Man Chong's face became more solemn and said.
"The most urgent task is to report to Meng De quickly and let him take precautions. This Lu Su is really hateful. He will die if he doesn't jump up." At the end of the sentence, Cao Ren couldn't help but curse.
Cao Cao's development is relatively smooth, especially after the Battle of Guandu, he should be the overlord of the world. But Lu Su always jumps out at critical moments. It is really shameless.
"That's exactly what it should be."
Man Chong nodded and said. At the same time, he also felt a headache due to Lu Su's presence.
However, Man Chong also believed that Lu Su had gone crazy for the last time. Now that Yuan Shao had been defeated and the situation in the world had been decided, it would be of no use to Lu Su no matter how high-spirited he was.[
It's just a mantis using its arm as a chariot and hitting a rock with an egg.
In this way, the news departed from Wancheng and went straight to the north, but in the process it had to pass through the hands of Shangshu Ling, Xun Yu.
Xudu, in the official residence of Shangshu Ling.
Xun Yu held Cao Ren's confession in his hand, and looked at it with a smile on his face.
"The cooperation between the cavalry general and the crown prince is really a tacit understanding. As soon as the northern cavalry general fell from his horse, the crown prince began to gather troops and horses, and he began to prepare for action. Are you afraid that Cao Cao will not mobilize his troops?"
Xun Yu felt extremely happy. Immediately, he put down Cao Ren's writing, took out a blank writing sheet, and started writing.
"Xudu is empty. I hope Duke Ming can send more soldiers to guard it."
Xun Yu decided to add fuel to the fire.
After writing his own essay, Xun Yu put it together with Cao Ren's essay, and then shouted: "Come, send it to Duke Ming."
