From the world of martial arts

Chapter 217 Arrive at the Frontline
According to Su Fan's guess, Lu Bu's current strength is probably above the eighth level of refining gang, maybe it is the peak of Shenzang.Although his army is all elites, it is also Chen Dao's concentration of military spirit that can limit personal bravery to the greatest extent.

However, the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Frontier Army were equally as elite as Su Fan's army.

So Lu Bu can still threaten his army.

Fortunately, Su Fan knew that Lu Bu would not appear here in Hanoi. After all, as Dong Zhuo's strongest general, facing the main forces in the Kanto, Dong Zhuo would definitely put Lu Bu and his Bingzhou army under Hulao Pass.

One is to make Hulao Pass stronger, and the other is to weaken Lu Bu's strength.

Although Lu Bu took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he was not Dong Zhuo's confidant.

No matter which monarch it is, the generals under his account are too strong, which will also arouse his fear, not to mention that Lu Bu has a "criminal record".
Lu Bu didn't come, but Xu Rong did.

From Su Fan's point of view, Lu Bu was the least of the threats. After all, although Lu Bu was strong, he was flawed and easy to fall for. As long as he had a better plan, he could still be defeated.

But Xu Rong is different. This person's resourcefulness may not be as good as that of Xi Zhicai's counselors, but in terms of marching and fighting, he is definitely at the top level.

The art of war is not bad, coupled with a cautious personality, such a person is the most difficult to deal with.

Of course, Su Fan was just jealous, not afraid.

Because they are not bad in terms of military strength or strategy, not to mention fierce generals, there are many of them here.

Even though Xu Rong is good, he is not the coach.

The [-] troops under his own account are not enough to completely control the army along the Xiliang road.

"Master, it seems that Xu Rong is very important to this person"

Xi Zhicai observed so carefully, Su Fan could clearly see the change in Xu Rong's face when he heard it, "Is this person unusual?"

Xi Zhicai also admired Su Fan's knowledge of people.

In the past few years, the talents Su Fan recruited were all great talents, especially the generals, Tai Shi Ci, Zang Ba Chen Dao and others shocked him.

Especially Chen Dao and Zang Ba, in his eyes, looked like famous generals.

As for Cheng Yu, he was an even more scheming person, and even he admired him very much.

"That's right. In terms of this person's personal bravery, Xuan Gao and the others are a bit behind each other, but in terms of deploying troops to fight, I'm afraid Xuan Gao and the others are still a little immature when facing this person."

Su Fan used immature to describe it because he firmly believed that when Zang Bachen came to them, as long as they experienced more wars, their talents in commanding battles would gradually increase, and they would not even lose much to Xu Rong.

"This person has such ability, it seems that Dong Zhongying's subordinates should not be underestimated"

"After all, Dong Zhuo fought step by step from the frontier. How can there be no talents around him? Even Li Jue and others have rich combat experience."

"Of course we don't need to underestimate ourselves. Although Xuan Gao, uncle and nephew are a little less experienced, they will not be weaker than these people."

"As long as you are careful, our army's excellent armor is still very easy to make a name for yourself."

In Heyangjin, the two armies confront each other.

The two sides have fought several times.

As expected, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army was fought from the frontier. The number was less than one-third of Zhang Yang's and Wang Kuang's army, but they fought several times and defeated them every time.

After several battles, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang lost a lot of troops, of course most of them were those little princes, and they are not stupid.

It's just that, in their small group, no one wanted to stand out in an instant, and the morale was also much lower.

When Su Fan's army arrived, the two sides were still fighting non-stop.

"Lord."

When Chen Dao and Zang Ba saw Su Fan, they saluted immediately.

"Do it! How are you observing here? How powerful is Dong Zhuo's army?"

"My lord, Dong Zhuo's army is indeed not simple. Among them, the frontier army in Xiliang is very fierce, but some of them look like new troops."

"However, even so, they are still suppressing Zhang Yang's army. These days, Zhang Yang and the others have lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

"is it?"

Su Fan nodded unknowingly.

"I think they may send someone to ask the lord and Tao Shijun to send troops in a short time."

Xi Zhicai said suddenly.

"Hehe!" Su Fan smiled, of course they would send troops, but Su Fan would not follow their wishes.

"What do you two think of Dong Zhuo's army?"

Su Fan looked at the two and asked, this time he came, the generals he brought with him were Chen Dao and Zang Ba, and of course Xu Chu had always been his personal guard commander.

Tai Shici stayed in Donghai County.

"My lord, Xiliang's soldiers and horses are powerful. When they came out from the frontier army, they carried a fierce aura. In addition, their low-level officers all have combat experience, so they are quite powerful in a big battle."

"Of course their soldiers may be inferior to ours in terms of personal physical fitness, but their fighting instincts are probably superior to ours."

Chen Dao said in a deep voice.

"Will and instinct to fight?"

Su Fan nodded, he knew that what Chen Dao said was indeed true.

In terms of personal physical fitness alone, Su Fan felt that the army under his command should be the strongest. After all, the training of his soldiers was comparable to that of the army of later generations.

Sufficient nutrition allows the army to exercise without any scruples. The physical fitness and military skills of each individual are very strong.

The only flaw, I am afraid, is that the combat experience and will are a little worse.

Although his army has always suppressed bandits, the bandits and bandits are still much worse than the real army.

His army really lacks the experience of war, whether it is generals or soldiers.

"Then are you confident?"

Su Fan suddenly asked with a smile.

"certainly"

The two answered in the affirmative.

"Haha! Since that's the case, this time the battle will be handed over to the two generals."

"Xuan Gao is in charge of the troops of the headquarters. Uncle and nephew will be troublesome when the time comes, and Tao Shijun's troops will be temporarily entrusted to you to command."

"Yes, the last general takes orders"

When the two of them heard this, their faces showed a bit of excitement. This was the first time for them to lead such a large army to fight, so they were naturally very excited.

As night fell, in the camp, all the generals in Su Fan's army gathered to discuss how to fight next.

Su Fan didn't bring out the general staff of later generations. After all, the general staff required a lot of knowledge, especially the art of war. In this day and age, few people can learn the art of war.

Most generals, when they march and fight, rely on their own groping.

However, Su Fan would gather all the officers above the rank of the general, and pool their wisdom to discuss the best battle plan.

"Report!"

"My lord, Mr. Tao is here to visit!"

Hearing this, Su Fan and Xi Zhicai immediately looked at each other, knowing that the battle was coming.
