"According to the lord's words, wouldn't General Xu Chu have no hope of winning, and may even be defeated?" Guo Jia interrupted.

"It may not be." Li Li shook his head slightly and smiled indifferently: "Although Zhang Fei is brave and powerful, Zhongkang is not a weak person. On the contrary, it is indeed not easy for Zhongkang to defeat Zhang Fei, but it is definitely not easy for Zhang Fei to win."

Guo Jia looked confused when he heard this: "So, Zhongkang and Zhang Fei are as strong as possible, so they can only end up in a draw?"

"No, there is little chance of a draw."

Huan Fei continued: "The battle changes rapidly. It is not that the two sides of the war are equal in strength, which will definitely be a draw. Any minor mistake can lead to changes in the battle situation and even endanger their lives. Therefore, the situation is at stalemate, and the saying of a draw is too early, and the outcome is still unknown."

Guo Jiashen nodded with consent: "What Feihu said is extremely true. A comparable strength may not be a draw. Just like our army and the Allies, if all the troops distributed on three battlefields are added up, the total strength is not inferior to the Allies, but the result after this decisive battle will definitely not be a draw."

While speaking, Guo Jia paused and looked at Xu Chu and Zhang Fei who were fighting with worry, and pondered: "However, the battle between the generals is completely different from the decisive battle of the army. There is no way out and there is no strategy. It depends entirely on his own strength to fight hard. Therefore, I am worried that General Zhongkang may make mistakes after a long battle. If this is true, we will not only lose a general, but also affect the morale of the entire army and be unfavorable to the war. Therefore, General Feihu still needs to prepare early. Once Zhongkang is in danger, he will go to fight immediately, so that he can be foolproof."

"Well, the military advisor is right. It's just???" Huan Fei nodded happily, looking at Li Li as he spoke. He wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing Huan Fei's appearance as a well-behaved young wife, Li Li couldn't help laughing and said, "I just volunteer to go to the battle, why pretend to be like this? As you wish, once Zhongkang is at a disadvantage, I will allow you to fight. Hahaha!"

"Thank you for your accomplishment. The last general will take the order!" Huan Fei replied with a smile.

Li Li smiled and nodded, staring at the fight in front of the formation with a deep look. Then he looked up at the sun above his head and said softly: "It's still early, Feihu doesn't have to rush to fight, so let Zhongkang and Zhang Fei fight well. Such fierce battles are rare. It is very necessary to let our generals observe them well."

"What the lord means is to let our generals see the generals under the tents of the princes in the Central Plains, so as not to be complacent and arrogant?" Guo Jia continued to ask.

Li Li nodded when he heard the voice and said in a deep voice: "It's true that our Xiliang Army is brave and good at fighting, but it's also easy to be arrogant and arrogant, and always thinks that he is the best in the world and looks down on the heroes of the world. It should be noted that this is a taboo in military strategists. If you are proud and complacent, and despise the enemy, you will sooner or later pay the price for it. Just like the battle in front of you, before that, few generals of our army would take Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and others seriously, but after seeing Zhang Fei's powerful skills, who would dare to underestimate the three brothers Liu Bei?

To be honest, although our army has many generals, there are very few generals who can really defeat Zhang Fei. From this we can see that the princes in the world are not weak, and the generals under their tent are not mediocre, including many powerful generals like Zhang Fei.

No matter where you are, you cannot relax your vigilance at any time, and you cannot underestimate any opponent, otherwise it will cause a disaster sooner or later!"

"What the lord said is the most, and the last generals should keep it in mind." Huan Fei, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and other generals standing beside Li Li happily agreed.

Seeing the thoughtful expressions of the generals, Guo Jia was relieved and worried that the generals' mood would affect the subsequent battle. So he chuckled and said to Li Li: "My lord is far-sighted and admired me. However, if there are not many generals of our army who can fight Zhang Fei, I think it is not entirely true. Now our army is strong and powerful, and the generals of war are gathered. Not to mention General Siping and General Zhou Yu, the general Rong Bian, who are the only ones, are the five tiger generals and eighteen generals of the Central Army under the lord, and the strength is extraordinary. Recently, Weichen heard rumors among the Allied Army that there are ten war generals under the lord. From this we can see that the Allied Army is very afraid of our generals, and many people are afraid of them!"

"Top Ten War Generals? Where did this start? Why did I never hear of it myself, and I have never heard of it?" Li Li asked in surprise.

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, and his eyes signaled Fa Zheng to explain it on his behalf. Because as a military advisor, some rumors were not suitable for him to tell them, so as not to spread rumors, induce the soldiers to believe it, and then cause unnecessary trouble.

After seeing Guo Jia's eyes, Fa Zheng immediately understood and said loudly: "Lord, my subordinates have also heard of the ten war generals rumored by the Allied soldiers. Among the ten war generals in Xiliang who are familiar with the Allied soldiers, General Feihu ranked first, the second was General Li Zhi, General Dian Wei ranked third, General Teng Yu ranked fifth, General Ma Chao ranked fifth, General Teng Xiao ranked sixth, General Fan Yong ranked seventh, General Zhang Liao ranked eighth, General Xu Chu ranked ninth, General Huang Zhong ranked tenth. The ranking of these ten war generals is ranked according to previous achievements and martial arts strength. It is purely conjecture and fabrication by the Allied generals, not true, and not appointed by the lord himself. Therefore, it is purely a rumor and not trustworthy."

When Fa Zheng said the names of the top ten war generals, the Xiliang generals still pricked up their ears to listen despite hearing about this matter. After Fa Zheng finished speaking, they all turned their eyes to Li Li, looking forward to it, as if they were very concerned about such rumors.

"Hmm?" Li Li pondered and laughed in surprise: "This rumor is quite interesting, it is very serious, precise, and well-founded! Hahaha!"

Seeing that Li Li was talking about other things and did not respond positively, Guo Jia laughed and said, "I remember that the lord also said that after this battle, our army will usher in a new round of mobilization, and then the Five Tigers will undergo major changes. I wonder if the lord still remembers this?"

"Uh?" Li Li narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and looked at Guo Jia with a questioning look. However, Guo Jia looked at the generals around him, then looked at the army of princes, and then smiled calmly.

Seeing this, Li Li immediately understood and knew that the reason why Guo Jia mentioned this was to inspire the generals to kill the enemy bravely, which was actually equivalent to the pre-war mobilization that was well-known in later generations.

Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers, and generals who don’t want to become famous all over the world are not considered good generals. In this era, the reputation of a generation of famous generals is undoubtedly the dream goal of all generals. And the rumor of the ten war generals in the Allied forces is indeed very loud, so it is no wonder that the generals of Xiliang moved and listened with their ears.

"The facts of the top ten war generals are false and nonsense. But?????"

Under the anticipation of many Xiliang generals, Li Li smiled calmly: "However, our army has indeed changed a lot after this battle. Many generals will become independent border generals, and now the five tiger generals in the army will also change accordingly. Except for Dian Wei who is still the Five Tiger Generals, the other four will be arranged separately, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and another general are the new candidates for the Five Tiger General.

Of course, in the new round of mobilization, all generals will be promoted, and I, Li Li, will never treat any brother who follows me through life and death. But all this has a premise, that is, to win this decisive battle that concerns the future and destiny of our Xiliang army. Otherwise, everything we have now will be gone, become a bubble, or even become the soul of the deceased army of the princes!”

"The Xiliang army will win! Long live the lord!" The Xiliang generals shouted in unison.

—————

"I will win, I will win, and the Xiliang army will win! Long live the lord!"

A burst of shouts from more than 100,000 people resounded like a rock and a shock throughout the original battlefield of Loudi, so that Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and others changed their expressions. When they were stunned, their faces were gloomy as ice, and they were furious.

"It's outrageous! What exactly does Li Zhe want to do? He shouted long live so unscrupulously, where will the emperor be?" Liu Bei rebuked angrily.

"Li Zhe is really bold and reckless. He is blatantly trying to rebel openly!" This is Lu Bu's amazement.

"Li Zhe is unexpected in his actions. Now he is openly bewitching the entire Xiliang army. I guess he is sure to win!" Cao Cao sighed secretly.

"This?????????Li Zhe really has a different ambition and has made up his mind. Now he is finally showing his strength!" Zhang Yang said in horror.

“????????”

As the princes in various towns spoke one after another, they scolded Li Li for being bold and arrogant and disregarding the king. However, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the princes, never spoke a word, frowned with a gloomy face, and did not make his own voice. This made Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others very confused. They looked at Yuan Shao, unable to understand why he was so abnormal.

Just as the princes stared at Yuan Shao with complicated eyes, he suddenly asked, "Do you think it is most appropriate for our army to launch an attack?"

"Uh?" Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others were stunned when they heard this. Lu Bu said without hesitation: "It's noon now, the weather is warm, and it's a good time for the whole army to go to fight."

"Yes, General Fengxian said very much." Zhang Yan, Zhang Yang, Sun Ce and Liu Bei thought for a while, and all agreed.

"Why did Meng De not speak a word? But he has other ideas?" When he noticed that Cao Cao was silent, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at him and asked in suspicion.

Cao Cao looked up when he heard the sound, his eyes swept across the faces of the princes in various towns, and then said thoughtfully: "It is nothing to attack at this time, but... Now our Allied general Wen Chou and Yan Liang died one after another at the hands of the Xiliang generals, which led to the morale of the Xiliang army rising, while our Allied army was depressed. If the entire army attacked now, Cao was worried that this battle would be beneficial to the Xiliang army and very unfavorable to our Allied army. Therefore, Cao thought that if our Allied army wanted to fight, it was necessary to attack after a big victory in the Xiliang general in front of the battlefield before taking action, so that there would be a chance of victory. This is Cao's brief opinion. Whether it is feasible, it still needs to be decided by the leader."

"What do you think of Fengxian?" As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Lu Bu on the right and asked softly.
