The young rangers who were shuttled back and forth passed my military order to the two armies. They didn't know that Liu Bei had let go and the generals of the Right Army had to slow down and wait for the left army and the tiger and leopard cavalry to be inserted into place. Cao Chun and Zhang Xiu led the tiger and leopard cavalry to the place where Liu Bei and others broke out, and there were only more than 500 corpses on the ground.

Among the more than 500 corpses, there were about 200 Cao soldiers. Except for one move, these dead Cao soldiers had more than ten scars on their bodies. Zhang Xiu had seen dead people on the battlefield. His father died early. Zhang Xiu, who grew up in the Western Liang army, had seen dead people, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. Judging from the entire situation, the dead Cao soldiers should have been besieged by enemy troops several times their own. Although the two hundred Cao soldiers who defended this place could not stop the enemy's attack, they not only killed nearly twice the enemy troops under the huge gap between the enemy and us, but they did not even have a deserter. Such a brave soldier, placed in the hands of the former Xiliang army or any prince in the world, is definitely the chief military commander, but in the Cao army, they are just ordinary soldiers who cannot be more ordinary.

When he commanded his subordinates to block the gap and began to close the encirclement, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but say to Cao Chun: "It is said that the Qingzhou army is fierce in combat, and I still don't believe it. Today, I know that this is true."

Cao Chun, who is familiar with the situation of the Cao army, said: "These people should be the agricultural reclamation army that recruited local military-owned farmers and soldiers to implement military camps in Yanzhou. There is only three or four months of training every year. Although they are brave in combat, their combat power cannot be compared with the Qingzhou army."

Zhang Xiu asked in surprise: "How could a military-owned peasant soldier be so busy?"

No wonder Zhang Xiu was surprised. Although both sides of the war were always claiming to be hundreds of thousands or millions, many armies were actually forcibly recruiting and organizing the peasants with military status to make up the numbers. The people with military status in each prefecture and county were all booked and managed. People with military status could not leave their bases, nor were they allowed to study or do business. In order to distinguish them from the fact that civilians were labeled with unique tattoos on their faces when they were born, they were also the management method adopted to prevent these people from escaping. From these harsh requirements, it can be seen that there is a military status.

How low is the status of the people of the ranks. These peasants have to prepare their own weapons, equipment and even rations when fighting. They won't get rewards, and they will be ruthlessly abandoned if they lose. For the princes in various places, they are tools that are cost-effective, and are often used as consumables that consume the other party's bows, arrows and physical strength. The morale of these peasants is low and the discipline is loose, and they will scatter and flee in all directions. Therefore, when fighting, they have to send additional supervision teams to drive them forward with swords, guns and whips.

Cao Chun pointed to the Rangers who were passing by from time to time and said, "It's for them!"

Zhang Xiu said in confusion, "Ah!"

"These Rangers who are proficient in flag language, responsible for exploring enemy situations and conveying messages are all students of the military public schools, and many of them are also the nephews of these peasant soldiers." Cao Chun added when he saw that Zhang Xiu did not understand: "Under the rule of the lord, although the peasant soldiers did not have the qualifications to share the spoils in combat, the peasant soldiers with outstanding military achievements have the opportunity to receive the reward for sending their children to the military public schools to study. Moreover, our army rarely uses military peasant soldiers in formal operations. For these two hundred peasant soldiers, fighting and dying is the best choice they can make to change the fate of their descendants."

Zhang Xiu asked: "Since the peasant soldiers are so brave in combat, why are they rarely used?"

Cao Chun said: "In the words of Mr. Fengxiao, although peasant soldiers are brave in fighting, they are not as good as full-time soldiers after all. Besides, the one produced by the five peasant soldiers working... What, right? It is economic benefits. It is enough to equip and feed two full-time soldiers. Using peasant soldiers to fight may achieve temporary victory, but in the long run it is a way to kill chickens and get eggs."

In fact, Cao Chun said less that preventing these peasant soldiers who specialize in farming from fighting too much, which limits their chances of making meritorious contributions, making it a great honor to seek blessings for their descendants through military achievements. Of course, it is not that they are completely forbidden to participate in the war. In order to make them have expectations, a small number of peasant soldiers will be selected to go out with the army in every battle. These small number of peasant soldiers are selected from various military sites through competition. On the one hand, this is to strengthen their awareness of training, and on the other hand, it is to allow a sense of competition to enter their thoughts unknowingly.

Zhang Xiu has been in the hands of Cao Cao for a year, and Cao Cao has also given him a high status, but he is very clear about his status as a surrender, so he rarely asks for sensitive matters. The various organizational structures within the Cao army are also problems he avoids daily. But since he started today, he couldn't help but continue asking: "What a full-time soldier?"

Cao Chun and Zhang Xiu got along very well, and these things were not secret. They explained: "Full-time soldiers are professions that make a living by joining the army. In addition to being enough to raise their families for small money and food, they can also get a certain amount of spoils through the battle."

Zhang Xiu said: "Then the cavalry we bring are full-time soldiers."

Cao Chun shook his head and said, "According to Mr. Fengxiao's plan as the lord, it seems that it is not. Now the lord's command can be called full-time soldiers. It seems that only the troops that Mr. Fengxiao has successively presented to the lord."

Zhang Xiu said: "Why is this?"

Cao Chun said with a reverent look: "Mr. Fengxiao's family members have been trained by military training since they were about ten years old. Usually these people were presented to their lords as surprise soldiers after they were twenty years old. The axe soldiers led by Dian Wei and the people who were responsible for training for the generals were all the family soldiers of Mr. Fengxiao before. Even the tiger and leopard cavalry I brought so quickly was because Mr. Fengxiao presented the fifty cavalry he trained in ten years to the lord. With these fifty people training, the tiger and leopard cavalry today was found. According to Mr. Fengxiao, only after a long period of training, he had no other ability to make a living except for charging and rushing into battle. The people who live in the world for war are full-time soldiers."

Zhang Xiu was shocked. At present, the so-called elite soldiers of the princes all selected some strong male soldiers, and at most they only trained for two or three years. If someone really spent ten years or even decades to forge such an army of full-time soldiers, then who in the world could be his opponent!

Zhang Liao, who was chased by Lu Bu, is really desperate now. After changing directions, he didn't go far, and found that Cao's army blocked the road ahead. After changing directions again, Zhang Liao became more and more frightened. It was not because Lu Bu was getting closer and closer, but because he realized that Cao's army seemed to have surrounded the place.

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and stopped the war horse.

When Lu Bu stopped and was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Liao stopping, he urged his horse to come close to him and pointed Fang Tian Hua Ji on Zhang Liao's throat and shouted: "You rebel traitor! Come on your life!"

Zhang Liao shouted: "Lord, Zhang Wenyuan is not a pity for death! But please look around first before talking about it!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he looked up and looked around, and the surroundings were covered with Cao's troops.

Zhang Liao said: "My lord and I have both been fooled by Cao's army."

Lu Bu shouted: "Are you colluding with Chen Gong and Liu Bei to make me want to deceive me? Guo Jia is lying to me?"

Zhang Liao said: "Zhang Wenyuan vowed to the sky that nothing happened!"

Looking at Zhang Liao and looking at the surrounding Cao Bing, Lu Bu took back Fang Tian's painting halberd and looked in the direction of Xuzhou City and shouted loudly: "Child Guo Jia! I swear to take your dog's head!"

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, someone Cui Sheng continued: "Is it the one who wants to take my husband's life? Could it be that you are the slaves of the three surnames?"

Lu Bu, who hates people scolding him the most, looked up and saw that the person who came was a female general. This female general in military uniform recognized Lu Bu, who was Zhao Yu who had shot down his purple gold crown outside Puyang City.

Why did Zhao Yu come here? It turned out that after she sent Lu Bu's family out of the city, she had nothing to do, but Zhao Yu, who was active by nature, couldn't stay in Xuzhou City, so she brought dozens of girls from the female barracks to follow Gao Shun out.

According to my arrangement, Gao Shun led the camp out this time to let them see the blood. Judging from the axe soldiers, cavalry, spearmen and even female barracks I used to take out, my combat capabilities were pretty good. And as my treasure, the camp should be quite powerful. But to be honest, in my heart, I don’t think that this camp will definitely be comparable to the camp composed of 700 warriors under Lu Bu in history. The camp in history was selected from some Western Liang soldiers who had been through many battles and trained by Gao Shun. The soldiers in my camp lacked such training, and Gao Shun no longer had the experience of being promoted from an ordinary soldier to a general under Lu Bu. So I kept beating in my heart how strong the real strength of this camp is. So this time I took them out, on the one hand, I attached importance to Lu Bu, and on the other hand, I also wanted to test the strength of the camp below.

Originally, what I meant was to trap the coalition forces of Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and let Gao Shun and the soldiers of the camp rushed in for a while, and experienced a bloody battlefield anger, preparing for the upcoming battle against Yuan Shao, and then joining the Cao army slowly surrounding him to completely end the battle. But it really came true: the plan could not keep up with the changes. After Gao Shun and the camp entered the battlefield, he killed some scattered Xuzhou soldiers along the way, he actually encountered Zhang Liao and Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu saw Zhao Yu, he gritted his teeth. After experiencing countless battle formations, Lu Bu had not suffered such a loss in his hands. He waved his Fang Tian Hua Ji and said, "Give him your life!"

When Zhang Liao saw Lu Bu urging his horse to leave, he shouted in a hurry: "Lord! It's important to get out!"
