"Liu Bei is out in person!"

In front of the Xiliang army, Li Li, who had been keeping his eyes on the battlefield in front of the formation, suddenly saw a fast horse running out in front of the allied army, and suddenly his expression changed slightly, he looked at the person intently, and immediately recognized it as Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Before that, Li Li had no impression of Liu Bei; I just heard that Liu Bei is a thoughtful person with an extraordinary appearance, especially a pair of ears that are extremely rich, and his ears are hanging down his shoulders, which is different from ordinary people.

It wasn't until this decisive battle between the two armies that Li Li finally saw Liu Bei with his own eyes, and he knew that the rumors were true.

Now Liu Bei rode out of the battle alone, only more than 200 steps away from the front of the Xiliang army, which made Li Li see Liu Bei seriously.

In the line of sight, I saw that Liu Bei, who was riding a horse, was about eight feet four inches, not fat or thin, with a strong figure, ruddy Yintang, good facial features, extraordinary appearance, and dignified appearance. And his extraordinarily conspicuous big ears are indeed larger than ordinary people, with quite large pinnae and round and thick earlobes; Although it was not like the two earlobes as rumored, there was not much difference between the two earlobes, and the earlobes were only half an inch from the shoulders, and if he lowered his head slightly, the two earlobes could be next to the shoulders.

The physiognomy that had been known in these rumors was not enough to attract Li Li's attention, and the reason why he stared at Liu Bei was because he found that Liu Bei's real difference from ordinary people was not his ears, but his strong and narrow arms. Normal people's arms can only reach the middle of the thighs, but Liu Bei's arms can be next to the knees, which is the so-called arms over the knees. This is what makes Liu Bei really different from ordinary people, and it is also what Li Li pays special attention to.

Since ancient times, it has not been common for people to have their arms above their knees. But. Everyone with such long and narrow arms must have something extraordinary, and usually this kind of person is a person with great strength, that is, people who practice martial arts often say that they have natural divine power. If this kind of person has been practicing martial arts since childhood. Naturally, it is twice the result with half the effort, and if nothing else, it can usually reach the first-class level or above.

This discovery alerted Li Liton, and he couldn't help but think of Liu Bei's two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The battle of Tiger Prison Pass made the little-known Taoyuan Sanying famous all over the world, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were well-known to the world as fierce generals, with the courage of ten thousand people. It is known as taking the head of a general in a million army, which is like probing for something. However, almost everyone in the world subconsciously ignored Liu Bei, the elder brother of the two. I only know that Liu Bei is benevolent and kind, but I don't know that he is also a strong martial arts warrior. Otherwise, how could Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were reckless and arrogant by nature, look down on Liu Bei, and how could they be willing to worship him as a brother. He has been following him for more than ten years. What about not giving up on it?

This section may be easy for others to ignore, and ordinary people only remember Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness, but Li Li, as the overlord of one of the princes, will not ignore the details. What's more, Li Li himself is also a person with both civil and military skills, and he is strong in martial arts, so he pays special attention to the princes who are also both civil and military. Since then, Liu Bei naturally entered his sight, which made him pay special attention to Liu Bei.

Yes. At this moment, Liu Bei immediately attracted Li Li's attention as soon as he came out of the battle, and recognized his identity as soon as possible.

"Huh?" Guo Jia, who was beside him, was shocked when he heard this. immediately looked at the flying dismounted person on the battlefield in front of the battle, and said casually: "Well, it is indeed Liu Beiqi." But??? He didn't seem to go into battle to fight, but deliberately went out to rescue Zhang Fei. ”

Li Li chuckled when he heard this: "This is natural. His third brother Zhang Fei is not the opponent of Flying Tiger, so what is the use of him personally participating in the battle? Liu Bei is extremely good at judging the situation, and he will not take risks in person, he is not as irritable and impulsive as Zhang Fei, and he has to fight with others at every turn. Hehehe! ”

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, because he had already seen Liu Bei riding his horse to Zhang Fei's side, and immediately picked up Zhang Fei and got on the horse after dismounting, as if he was worried that something would happen and he would be trapped on the battlefield and it would be difficult to get out.

Seeing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sneer: "It's true that as the lord said, this Liu Bei is really a cautious person who cherishes his life, and he immediately picked up Zhang Fei and left when he ran to the front of the battle, without dragging his feet!" Hehehe???"

After sneering, Guo Jia changed his words and said in a thoughtful whisper: "However, it can also be seen from this that Liu Bei is a decisive person who kills and kills, and he has a lot of knowledge, and he knows that he is invincible to General Flying Tiger, so he has no idea of participating in the war at all." In addition, he was able to come forward to rescue Zhang Fei at this time, which shows that the brotherhood between him and Zhang Fei is not fake, and it can be regarded as a conscience. ”

"Well, Liu Guanzhang's three brothers Taoyuan have formed a righteous union, and they have never abandoned for more than ten years, and righteousness is the same as life and death, there is no doubt about this." Li Li nodded thoughtfully.

Speaking of this, he groaned with feeling: "In this troubled world, Liu Bei is so lucky to be able to meet loyal brothers with different surnames like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu!" ”

"Hehehe!" Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "What the lord said is extremely true. Speaking of Liu Bei, this is really an extremely lucky person. He came from a humble background and had been inactive for more than 20 years, until the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but he was able to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and pull up a group of men and horses to join the battle to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves. In the next ten years, although Liu Bei did not get a high-ranking official, he also completely got rid of his former career as a weaver and sold shoes, and officially entered the ranks of scholars. In the Luoyang Rebellion, the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang rode to the alliance, and the battle of the Tiger Prison made the three of them famous all over the world and were well known by the princes of all walks of life, which laid the cornerstone for him to enter Xuzhou. Last year, he took over the six counties of Xuzhou from Tao Qian without blood, which can be said to be beyond the expectations of everyone in the world, making all the princes of all walks of life blushing and envious! ”

Li Li smiled and bowed: "Yes, Liu Bei is indeed a little capable, and he can let Tao Qian give away the huge Xuzhou, this great gift is not something anyone can meet." Speaking from my heart, even I, Li Li, were blushing when I heard about this, and I once dreamed that one day someone would give me a state and county, what a beautiful thing!

It's a pity that I, Li Li, have never had a penchant for flattering others, so I'm afraid that such a good thing will never fall on me, and I don't expect any of the princes to take the initiative to agree. However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't give it to the state and county I like, I can get it myself! After all, taking other people's things and eating other people's things is soft-mouthed, or the things you have won are the most real, you don't have to owe favors, you are not afraid of people's words, you can do it yourself, and you will have enough food and clothing. Hehehe???"

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this, and continued: "The lord seems to mean something else when he says this, isn't it the one from Chang'an City??????? ”

Without waiting for Guo Jia to finish speaking, Li Li raised his hand to signal him to silence, and smiled indifferently: "Feng Xiao thinks too much." At this moment, when the two armies are in a decisive battle, Feng Xiao still puts his mind on how to win this big battle that is related to the overall situation. As for other irrelevant things, it's too early to say at this time, take one step at a time, and when the time comes, you will know. ”

"Ugh! What the lord said was very true. Guo Jia looked at Li Li with a stunned expression, nodded in response, and turned his gaze to the front of the allied army, watching Liu Bei escort Zhang Fei back to the allied army.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and said urgently: "This is??" Not good, the Allies are ready to attack with all their armies! ”

"Oh, how so?" Li Li's voice changed when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at the allied battle array, and asked casually.

"Lord, look at it, the Allied Chinese Army was originally composed of six phalanxes, which were clearly divided before, but now the six phalanxes have quietly approached and evolved into the Liuhe Great Array. The reason why the enemy did this was to make enough space for the cavalry on the left and right flanks to make it easier for the cavalry and the chariots behind the Chinese army to rush out and kill. It can be seen from this that the allied forces were already preparing to attack the whole army when Lu Bu went to war, and only at the moment when Lu Bu and Huan Fei finished fighting, the allied forces would rush over. ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia looked at the formation of the allied forces and continued: "These six phalanxes of the allied army are actually the headquarters of the princes of the allied forces. After half a year of fierce fighting, the strength of the Allied forces is now much lower than before. Yuan Shao has 100,000 cavalry, at this time it is divided into two, more than 10,000 cavalry to Lu Bu command, 20,000 chariot formations are located behind the Chinese army, and the remaining 70,000 infantry troops form two Chinese military formations, which are commanded by Zhang He and Gao Ran. The remaining four phalanxes are; Liu Bei's 50,000 Xuzhou troops formed a phalanx, Cao Cao's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and Zhang Yang's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were combined into a phalanx, more than 40,000 infantry troops under Lu Bu and Sun Ce's more than 10,000 men and horses left in the camp formed a phalanx, and Zhang Yan's more than 30,000 Black Mountain troops formed a phalanx. ”

“??? In addition to the 240,000 infantry troops, the Allied forces had a total of 50,000 cavalry on both flanks. On the left flank in the north were 15,000 cavalry from the headquarters led by Zhang Yan, and 10,000 cavalry drawn from the accounts of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, and Sun Ce, a total of 25,000 cavalry. The war cavalry on the right wing of the south is the 15,000 wolf cavalry under Lu Bu and the more than 10,000 war cavalry under Yuan Shao, adding up to nearly 30,000 war cavalry.

In addition, 20,000 bow and crossbow battalions were arranged in front of the Allied army's central army, and there were 20,000 chariot arrays, 10,000 catapult arrays, and 5,000 well railings, city trucks and other heavy siege ordnance in the rear of the Chinese army. Finally, there are the men and horses who stayed behind in the Allied camp, the exact number is unknown, but it is estimated by Weichen that there are at least 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Guo Jia's voice fell, and Li Li continued: "That is to say, the total strength of the allied forces participating in this decisive battle is not 320,000, but 360,000 troops, or even more!" ”

"Exactly." Guo Jia nodded solemnly and said: "Before, the allied forces were waiting in formation, blocking the soldiers and horses hidden behind the Chinese army, and the cavalry on both wings were also crowded together, so the strength in front of our army was only about 300,000. But now the six phalanxes of the Allied forces are moving closer to the middle, merging into one to form a large array, and all the men and horses will be exposed. Therefore, the Allied forces now have as many as 360,000 troops, including 240,000 infantry troops, 50,000 cavalry, and no less than 60,000 other troops.

In other words, the strength of the Allied forces was twice that of our army, including the 20,000 defenders we left behind at Hangu Pass. The disparity between the forces of the enemy and us is a matter of ??? The battle situation is extremely unfavorable for our Xiliang army! ”

Seeing Guo Jia's worried expression, Li Li smiled indifferently: "The matter has come to this point, and worrying is useless." There is a saying: the soldiers will block, the water will come to the earth, the top priority is to organize the army to face the battle, and it is useless to think about other things. ”
