Seeing that Li Li is getting stronger and stronger, the more he fights, the more soldiers and horses he fights, and he Lu Bu is losing his troops and losing his strength. If this continues, if there are a few more fights, his Lu Bu's soldiers and horses will be completely wiped out.

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

It was because he had just bandaged the wound and ignored the pain that he found Li Li as soon as possible, and he wanted to replenish the soldiers and horses, as well as the ordnance captured in this battle. Because Li Li, as the leader of the alliance, should compensate him for his battle losses, or rather, he should be given the reward he deserves.

However, at the moment when Lu Bu stood beside Li Li, looking at Li Li's calm expression and his eyes as deep as the sea, as well as 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 torture, then waiting for others is torment. The kind of anxiety that wants to wear far away can only be experienced by those who have experienced it firsthand, and remember it for a lifetime, and never want to experience it a second time in a lifetime.

This is how Lu Bu is feeling at the moment. Originally, he had already prepared a rhetoric, and even had a bitter stomach to say to Li Li that his purpose was only one, that is, to give priority to the selection of soldiers among the surrendered troops, and then replenish weapons and armor from the captured weapons and ordnance, and if possible, he also wanted all the captured war horses. If he can do this, he will be able to quickly regain his strength, and even use it to increase his strength and expand his cavalry ranks.

Because as far as he knew, the battle was fruitful. Not only did 80,000 soldiers surrender, but also captured countless high-quality weapons and armor, in addition to no less than 20,000 war horses. If these combat captures can be given to him. Then the qiē he paid before was worth it, and it can even be said that the gain was far greater than the pay.

But Lü Bu also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to claim all the combat captures; Even if Li Li dared to give it, he didn't dare to ask for it. In the final analysis, Lu Bu was afraid of Li Li in his heart. This fear has unconsciously penetrated into the bone marrow, so that every time he sees Li Li, he can't help but be frightened. That's the case at the moment.

Speaking of which, since the end of the Sili War. Lu Bu has not had any contact with Lu Bu for three whole years, or has not had any direct or indirect contact. They are like well water and do not interfere with river water. And Lu Bu thought even more, before his own strength did not surpass Li Li. Don't meet Li Li again in this life, it's better not to get along with each other for the rest of your life.

What is helpless is that although the territory of the Han Dynasty is very large, it is very narrow for Lu Bu and Li Li. The bond 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 is in control of his Lu Bu's fate. Although Lu Bu was reluctant to see Li Li again, as long as Li Li wanted to see him, he couldn't hide from him no matter what, so he could only appear in front of Li Li against his will. The reason why this is the case is not because Lu Bu is willing, but because of his strength, he is forced to be helpless.

Now. Li Li's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and no prince dares to openly tear his face with Li Li. Pose and face to face. Lu Bu is naturally no exception. After receiving Li Li's handwritten letter, although he had the intention to refuse, he did not have the courage, and in the end he could only choose to make a false accusation, to make compromises, and to put it nicely, he was temporarily forbearing.

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

Officially holding these original intentions, Lu Bu pretended to actively respond to Li Li's call and led the Xuzhou army to conquer Yuan Shu.

As the sun set at this moment, all the purposes of Lu Bu's expedition against Yuan Shu were achieved.

At present, Yuan Shu has been completely defeated, and the remaining forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses cannot turn the big waves at all, and sooner or later they will perish. In this way, the first purpose of Lu Bu's dispatch of troops was successfully achieved; After the defeat of Yuan Shu's army, Yuzhou and Yangzhou were left behind, and half of the counties and counties would be included in his name. As for his second purpose, it's better not to see it. No, he only has some psychological shadows for Li Li; Seeing it, it made him more and more frightened, and he was completely afraid of Li Li.

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

At this meeting, Lu Bu was a little uncertain about the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou Battalion under Li Li's command, because he didn't know anything about the Youzhou Battalion, so he turned his attention to the Tiger Ben Battalion he was familiar with. For the cavalry of the Tiger Battalion, Lu Bu has fought against it many times, whether it is the commander of the army Dian Wei or the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion, he is very familiar with it.

However, the moment he saw the Tiger Ben camp again, Lu Bu's pupils constricted, and his heart fluctuated violently like a stormy wave. After three years of absence, the Tiger Camp has changed greatly, the set of black armor flashes with fluorescent, and the spears and halberds are all forged from fine iron, with a cold light and a terrible atmosphere; There are also the war horses with armor, all the vital parts of the body are wrapped in leather armor, and all of them are excellent war horses with a body length of more than eight feet and a shoulder height of seven feet. War horses and weapons and equipment are still like this, and the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion are all big-shouldered and round-waisted, murderous, and at a glance, they are all powerful people, and they are warriors who have seen blood and killed people.

After carefully observing the Huben camp, Lu Bu once secretly said: "It is said that the Xiliang states under Li Li's rule have had good weather in recent years, and they have had bumper harvests year after year, and the Xiliang caravans are even more chaotic all over the world, and even go to the Western Regions thousands of miles away to travel. For this reason, Li Li made a lot of money, had a lot of money, built a lot of construction, and spent a lot of money. Unexpectedly, these rumors were true, Li Li did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, all the high-quality war horses, dark iron battle armor, fine iron weapons, horses wearing soft armor, and the soldiers were even more draped all over their bodies, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he insisted on building the war cavalry battalion under his command into an 'iron army' wrapped in fine iron and soft armor. At present, this Tiger Ben Battalion Iron Cavalry is a veritable Tiger Ben Division! ”

If three years ago, Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry army and was confident that he could defeat any of the war cavalry battalions under Li Li's command, then now any war cavalry battalion under Li Li Li has the combat effectiveness of the wolf cavalry army, and even surpasses it, and wins the battle.

Lu Bu's private speculation was confirmed in the battle that had just ended. When Dian Wei led 3,000 cavalry to the north gate of Shouchun City, he met with 40,000 Yuan troops who were eager to enter the city. After a battle, the cavalry of the Huben battalion suffered more than 1,000 casualties, but cut the 40,000 Yuan troops into two sections, blocked more than 10,000 Yuan troops outside the city, and killed thousands of enemies.

This scene is very similar to the situation when Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry army to be besieged by the Yuan army, but the strong combat power shown by the soldiers of the tiger battalion is far superior to that of the wolf cavalry. What is particularly striking is that the casualties of the Tiger Camp are very small, and this is the crux of the matter.

?????? Seeing the sunset disappear, Lu Bu's thoughts were flying, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more afraid he was, the more bottomless his heart became.

Until this moment, he really 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 cavalry that he has always regarded as a treasure, but under Li Li's command, there are ten cavalry battalions that are not inferior to the wolf cavalry, and the number and equipment of each battalion are above the wolf cavalry. What is the Wolf Cavalry compared to?

The war cavalry is not as good as Li Li, and the gap between the infantry is even greater. So far, the infantry army under Lu Bu, including the defenders stationed in Xuzhou, has nearly 100,000 infantry troops, but Li Li has three "Wuzi battalion" infantry troops (Wushu Battalion, Wuwei Battalion, and Wurui Battalion), totaling 150,000 infantry troops. In addition, Li Li also had the trapping camp, the Qin Gong battalion, the baggage battalion and the Bohai Sea Division (revealed to him by Chen Gong), with more than 100,000 troops.

Comparing goods has to be thrown, and people have to die more than people.

This is Lu Bu's deep feeling at the moment. Therefore, he wanted to ask for the battle to capture and replenish the losses, but before he could speak, he was already weak-hearted, and he didn't know how Li Li would react after he made a request. What if Li Li was furious and turned his face on the spot?

"This time, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's account were annihilated in one fell swoop, and the results were quite fruitful. In this battle, Feng took the lead, brave and fearless, and did not hesitate to use himself as bait to drag Yuan Shu's army, which won precious time for our army to annihilate Yuan's army. It is to be the first to make great contributions, and to be injured for this, should be the first to be rewarded. ”

Just when the sunset receded and Lu Bu's thoughts were like a tide, Li Li suddenly spoke. He first affirmed Lü Bu's merits, recognized the great contributions made by Lü Bu and the Xuzhou army in the war, and promised to reward him heavily. These words fell on Lu Bu's ears, and his uneasy heart suddenly calmed down, as if a stone pressing on his heart fell to the ground, and his heart was settled.

The most bizarre thing is that the first time he heard Li Li praise him in person, Lu Bu was uncontrollably excited in his heart, and a touch of excitement couldn't help but appear on his face, and even the brows that had been frowning just now were relaxed, quite a little joyful. At this moment, Lu Bu's expression was extremely strange, and there was a look of crying and laughing on his face, so that he lowered his head, lest he be seen by Li Li.

After a pause in his voice, Li Li said in a calm tone: "In this battle, the soldiers and horses under the command of Feng Xian suffered a lot of casualties, and I, as the leader of the alliance, categorically cannot sit idly by. I will, give you all the weapons and armor I have captured in this battle, and I will give you any money I have captured. These are the combat captures you deserve. In addition, in view of the military exploits of Fengxian and his soldiers, he will give you a thousand pieces of silk and silk, a bounty of 10,000, and 5,000 Xiliang war horses. I don't know what to do? ”

"Ahh Thank you for the reward, Lu is very grateful! Lu Bu was very surprised, and thanked him, his voice trembling slightly, quite overjoyed.
