A down-and-out emperor with no followers is no different from ordinary people, and even worse than ordinary people.In this way, is it so important whether he lives or dies?

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Li in brocade robes and Lu Bu, who had bandaged his wounds, stood side by side on the mound, condescending, looking down at groups of surrendered soldiers being escorted to unfinished camps, and the thousands of Allied soldiers were busy cleaning up the remains of the corpses in front of the camp.

As of now, most of Yuan Shu's 10,000+ army has been wiped out, and the number of Yuan's soldiers trapped in the city is no more than [-].However, the number of prisoners of war captured by the Allied forces was huge, more than [-] were captured in the just-concluded pursuit battle, plus more than [-] people from Qiao Rui's account captured by Lu Bu before, and thousands captured during the camp robbery. Yuan Jun, the total number of prisoners of war is close to [-].

Such a huge number of prisoners of war is actually the largest in all previous wars.Prior to this, the time when Li Lili's army captured the most soldiers was during the Sili War.During the year-long fierce battle, Li Li successively captured nearly [-] soldiers, but the Xiliang Army also suffered huge casualties of more than [-] soldiers.

But this war was different from previous ones.From the beginning of the looting of the camp at dawn until the end of the war, the soldiers under Li Li's command suffered little losses in the successive battles. The infantry suffered more than 2 casualties, the cavalry suffered less than [-] casualties, and a total of less than [-] horses were lost.The casualties were so small, but such fruitful results were achieved. I have to thank Lu Bu and his Xuzhou Army.In other words, this victory was achieved by Lu Bu and his army in exchange for their desperate fighting. To be precise, it should be the result of Lu Bu's army risking their lives.

But in the end it was Li Li's Xiliang Army who picked the fruits of victory. All the battle captures fell into Li Li's hands, and the credit for defeating Yuan Shu's army also fell on Li Li.

Therefore, Lv Bu, who was standing beside Li Li at the moment, looked at the busy figures of the Xiliang army and the scene of wreckage all over the wilderness, and Lv Bu couldn't help but feel oppressed and extremely depressed while having lingering fears.

For the victory in front of him, he led his soldiers and horses to fight bravely. Most of the 5000 wolf cavalry was lost, and now there are only 3 people left, and he almost lost his life.The most important thing is that when he led the army to conquer Yuan Shu, there were [-] soldiers and horses under his command, but now including the surviving wolf cavalry army, the total number of infantry and cavalry is less than [-] horses.

However, how many soldiers and horses does Li Li have under his command?When he sent out troops, Li Li led an army of [-] to march south. Now that Yuan Shu had been defeated, Li Li still had more than [-] soldiers and horses, and [-] surrendered troops.

Comparing the two, how can Lu Bu feel so bad?

Therefore, as soon as he bandaged the wound, he ignored the pain and found Li Li immediately. He wanted to replenish the soldiers and horses, as well as the ordnance and equipment seized in this battle.Because Li Li, as the leader of the alliance, should compensate for his loss of soldiers and horses, or should give him the reward he deserves.

However, when Lu Bu stood beside Li Li, looking at Li Li's calm face and contemplative expression, Lu Bu couldn't say a word.I can only stand quietly beside Li Li, watch the sunset with him, and wait patiently for him to wake up from his contemplation

Chapter 017

Seeing that Li Li is getting stronger and stronger as he fights, the more he fights, the more soldiers and horses he fights, while Lu Bu loses his troops and loses his generals, and his strength drops sharply.If things go on like this, if he fights a few more games, he will completely wipe out Lu Bu's soldiers and horses.

The situation is so severe, how can Lu Bu not be worried, how can he not be anxious?

Therefore, as soon as he bandaged the wound, he ignored the pain and found Li Li immediately. He wanted to replenish the soldiers and horses, as well as the ordnance and equipment seized in this battle.Because Li Li, as the leader of the alliance, should compensate him for his battle losses, or should give him the reward he deserves.

However, when Lu Bu stood beside Li Li, looking at Li Li's calm expression, his eyes as deep as the sea, and his contemplative expression, Lu Bu couldn't say a word.I could only stand quietly beside Li Li, watch the sunset with him, and wait patiently for him to wake up from his contemplation.

If waiting is a kind of torture, then waiting for others is suffering.Only those who have experienced it personally can understand the feeling of hopelessness, and remember it for the rest of their lives, and never want to experience it again in their lifetime.

Such was Lu Bu's mood at the moment.Originally, he had prepared his speech a long time ago, and he even wanted to tell Li Li that he had only one purpose, and that was to give priority to selecting soldiers among the surrendered troops, and then replenish weapons and armor from the captured weapons and ordnance. If possible, he also wanted all the captured war horses.If this is the case, he will be able to recover his strength quickly, and even use this to increase his strength and expand the cavalry team.

Because as far as he knows, the result of this battle is fruitful.Not only were [-] soldiers surrendered, but countless high-quality weapons and armors were also seized. In addition, there were no less than [-] horses.If all these battles were captured, they would be given to him.Then everything he has paid before is worthwhile, and it can even be said that the gains are far greater than the sacrifices.

But Lu Bu also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to ask for all the battle seizures; even if Li Li dared to give it, he would not dare to take it.After all, Lu Bu was afraid of Li Li from the bottom of his heart.This kind of fear has unconsciously penetrated into the bone marrow, so that every time he sees Li Li, he can't help but feel frightened.This is the case at this moment.

Speaking of which, since the end of the Sili War.Lu Bu has not had any contact with Lu Bu for three full years, or in other words, has not had any direct or indirect contact.It's as if the well water does not violate the river water between each other.And Lu Bu thought even more, before his own strength surpassed Li Li's.Don't meet Li Li again in this life, it's better not to communicate with each other forever.

What makes people helpless is that although the territory of the Han Dynasty is very large, it is very narrow for Lu Bu and Li Li.The fetters of fate brought the two of them together again.

Of course.It's not so much a trick of fate, it's better to say that Li Li controls Lu Bu's fate.Although Lu Bu was absolutely unwilling to see Li Li again, as long as Li Li wanted to see him, he couldn't avoid him no matter what, so he could only appear in front of Li Li against his will.The reason for this was not that Lu Bu wanted to, but because of his strength, he was forced to do so.

nowadays.Li Li's strength became stronger and stronger, and no prince dared to openly tear himself apart with Li Li.Face-to-face confrontation with open posture.Lu Bu is no exception.Therefore, after receiving Li Li's handwritten letter, although he wanted to refuse it, he didn't have the guts to do so. In the end, he could only choose to be submissive and compromise, or to put it mildly, temporarily endure.

Today, after three years, Lu Bu originally thought that his strength was not weak, and it would be profitable to join forces with Li Li to conquer Yuan Shu.After all, Yuan Shu's territory is adjacent to Xuzhou, and when Yuan Shu is eliminated, he can take the opportunity to expand his territory and further strengthen his strength.In addition, he also has an unknown mind, which is to get close to Li Li, to see how powerful Li Li and his Xiliang Army, who have been rumored by the world in recent years, are really powerful.

With these original intentions in mind, Lu Bu pretended to respond positively to Li Li's call and led the Xuzhou army to attack Yuan Shu.

As the sun set at this moment, all the goals of Lu Bu's crusade against Yuan Shu had been achieved.

Now Yuan Shu has been completely defeated, and the remaining [-] to [-] soldiers and horses can't turn the tide, and they will perish sooner or later.In this way, Lu Bu's first goal of sending troops was successfully achieved; after Yuan Shu's defeat, Yuzhou and Yangzhou were left behind, and half of the counties and counties will be brought under his name, Lu Bu.As for his second purpose, seeing him would be better than not seeing him.Seeing him, he still had some psychological shadows towards Li Li; seeing him, it made him even more frightened, and he was completely afraid of Li Li.

What is the combat power of the Xiliang Army three years later?For Lu Bu, he really didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was shocked when he saw it.

During this reunion, Lu Bu was a little uncertain about the combat power of Li Li's Youzhou camp war cavalry, because he knew nothing about Youzhou camp, so he turned his attention to the Huben camp he was familiar with.For the cavalry of the Huben Camp, Lu Bu had fought against it many times, and he was very familiar with both the commanding general Dian Wei and the soldiers of the Huben Camp.

However, the moment he saw Huben Camp again, Lu Bu's eyes constricted, and his heart fluctuated violently like a stormy sea.After three years of absence, Huben Camp has changed a lot. The sets of black battle armors are shining with fluorescence, the spears and halberds are all forged from fine iron, and the cold light is cold and threatening; The armored warhorses had their vital parts covered by leather armor, and they were all high-quality warhorses with a body length of more than eight feet and a shoulder height of seven feet.Even with the horses and weapons and equipment, the soldiers of the Huben Battalion were all big-bodied and murderous. One could tell at a glance that they were all men of extraordinary strength, and they were warriors who had seen blood and killed people.

After carefully observing the Huben Camp, Lu Bu was secretly speechless: "It is said that the Xiliang prefectures under Li Li's rule have had good weather and good harvests in recent years, and the Xiliang caravans are running around all over the world, and even went to the Western Regions thousands of miles away to trade. This time Li Li earned a lot of money, had a lot of money, built a lot of buildings, and spent money like water. Unexpectedly, these rumors were true, and Li Li did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. The soldiers are covered in soft armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed. They insisted on building the cavalry battalion under their command into an 'iron army' wrapped in fine iron and soft armor. Right now, this tiger battalion iron cavalry is worthy of the name. !"

If it is said that Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry army confidently to defeat any war cavalry battalion under Li Li's command three years ago, then any war cavalry battalion under Li Li's command now has a combat effectiveness that is not inferior to the wolf cavalry army, or even surpassed it. There is nothing less than a battle to win.

Lu Bu's private speculation was confirmed in the battle that just ended.When Dian Wei led 1 cavalry to the north gate of Shouchun City, they met [-] Yuan troops eager to enter the city.After a fight, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Huben Camp had casualties, but they cut [-] Yuan's troops in half, blocked more than [-] Yuan's troops outside the city, and killed thousands of enemies.

This scene is very similar to the situation where Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry army and was besieged by Yuan Jun, but the powerful combat power displayed by the soldiers of the Huben camp was far better than that of the wolf cavalry army.What is particularly eye-catching is that the casualties of the Huben Battalion were extremely small, and this is the crux of the problem.

Watching the sunset disappear, Lu Bu's thoughts raced, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more afraid he became, the more uncertain he became.

Until now, he has truly realized the huge gap between himself and Li Li, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference.The most elite war cavalry that he has always regarded as a treasure, under Li Li's command, there are ten war cavalry battalions that are not inferior to the wolf cavalry army, and the number and equipment of each battalion are higher than that of the wolf cavalry army.Compared with that, what is the wolf cavalry army?

The war cavalry is not as good as Li Li, and the infantry is far behind.So far, Lu Bu's infantry, including the defenders stationed in Xuzhou, has nearly 15 infantry, but Li Li has three "Wuzi Battalion" infantry (Wu Zu Battalion, Wu Wei Battalion, and Wu Rui Battalion). [-] infantry.In addition, Li Li also had the Suppression Camp, the Qin Gong Camp, the Supply Battalion, and the Bohai Sea Division (Chen Gong revealed it to him), with a strength of more than [-].

If you compare goods, you have to throw them away, and if you compare people, you have to die.

This is Lu Bu's deep feeling at the moment.So he originally wanted to ask for the battle seizures to make up for the losses, but before he opened his mouth, he was already guilty, and he didn't know what to do. He didn't know how Li Li would react after he made the request.What if Li Li was furious and turned his face on the spot?

"This time we annihilated more than [-] soldiers under Yuan Shu's tent in one fell swoop, and the results were quite fruitful. In this battle, Feng Xian took the lead and was brave and fearless. He did not hesitate to use himself as a bait to hold back Yuan Shu's army and bought precious time for our army to wipe out Yuan Jun. Therefore, Feng The one who made the most contribution first, and was injured for it, should be the first to make the most contribution, and should be rewarded heavily."

Just when the sunset was receding and Lu Bu's thoughts were flooding, Li Li suddenly spoke.He first affirmed Lv Bu's contribution, recognized the great contribution made by Lv Bu and the Xuzhou Army in the war, and promised to reward him heavily.These words fell into Lu Bu's ears, and his uneasy heart immediately calmed down, as if a stone that was pressing on his heart fell to the ground, and his heart was settled.

The weirdest thing was that when he heard Li Li praise him face to face for the first time, Lu Bu felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart, and a look of excitement appeared on his face, and even the frown that had been frowning just now relaxed. , quite a bit of a smile.At this moment, Lu Bu's expression was extremely strange, and there was a look of dumbfounding on his face, so that he lowered his head, fearing that Li Li would see him.

After a short pause, Li Li said in a calm and authentic tone: "Fengxian's soldiers and horses suffered a lot in this battle. As the leader of the alliance, I absolutely cannot just sit idly by. I agree to hand over all the complete weapons and armor captured in this battle to you. Some of the captured property will also be given to you. These are the battle captures you deserve. In addition, in view of the military exploits of Feng Xian and his troops, I will give you a thousand silks and satins, a reward of [-], and an additional [-] horses War horses from Xiliang. I don’t know how to follow the first plan?”

"Ah! Thank you for the reward from the leader, Lu is very grateful!" Lu Bu was very surprised, and thanked respectfully, his voice trembling slightly, rather overjoyed.

ps: Thank you: qiuhuoshi book friends for their monthly ticket support, thank you!

Chapter 018

Fortunately, Li Li didn't look back at this time, and his eyes still fell on the camp not far away.

There tents are being set up.Originally the camp had already been set up, but suddenly there were tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers, which made the tents suddenly tense and not enough.Therefore, Xu Huang, who was in charge of setting up the camp, could only lead the soldiers of the rear army to build another camp in the big camp. After all, it was cold and freezing, and soldiers were also human, so they couldn't be allowed to stay outdoors.

After a little distraction, Li Li said in a calm and authentic tone: "The soldiers and horses of Fengxian's army suffered a lot in this battle. As the leader of the alliance, I must not just sit idly by. I agree to hand over all the intact weapons and armor captured in this battle to the army. You, some of the property captured will also be given to you. These are the battle captures you deserve.

In addition, in view of the military exploits of Fengxian and the soldiers under his command, I will give you a thousand pieces of silk and satin, a reward of [-], and [-] Xiliang war horses.I don't know what to do first? Before he finished speaking, Li Li turned around and looked at Lu Bu with a smile on his face, with approval in his deep eyes.

"Ah! Thank you for the reward from the leader, Lu is very grateful!" Lu Bu was very surprised, and thanked respectfully, his voice trembling slightly, rather overjoyed.

Li Li shook his head with a smile, "There is no need to be too polite. If you have merit, you must be rewarded, and if you have done something, you must be punished. This is the duty of the leader, and there is no need to thank you."

While speaking, seeing Lv Bu's cautious expression, Li Li paused, and said with a pleasant face: "Feng Xian seems to have something on his mind, but it's okay to say it, as long as I can do anything within my power, I will agree to everything."

Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He didn't expect Li Li's observation ability to be so keen.After a moment of hesitation, he found out.

"This,,, is not really a concern. It's just that Lu's army suffered a lot of casualties this time, and those soldiers who surrendered" Lu Bu hesitated, pointing to the end.After all, Li Li had rewarded him heavily just now.Such a generous reward is really rare, if you want to ask for all the prisoners at this moment, it will be a little greedy and insatiable.

The smile on Li Li's face gradually disappeared after hearing the sound, replaced by a calm face and peaceful eyes, as if he was not angry.But there was no intention of agreeing readily.This expression gave Lv Bu a sense of inscrutability and profoundness, noncommittal, making it impossible for him to figure out Li Li's intentions.As a result, the heart that had just fallen became uneasy again.
