Military training was carried out in an orderly manner outside Duchang City in Beihai County with Zhang Fei in charge of Hai and Xia Cheng as the deputy.
The weapons and equipment that Kong Rong had promised earlier, as well as the food that Liu Bei and the others needed, had already been transported over in batches.
There was no need to say much about the handling of food.
Xia Cheng used the thousand plus armors and thousands of swords and weapons to give to the newly recruited soldiers to buy weapons and armors.
In an instant, nearly 8,000 armed forces were pulled together by them.
Among them, nearly half of them were veterans of Liu Bei's original army, as well as the Yellow Turban veterans who had surrendered with Guan Hai. They could be considered battle-hardened, so after the army was reorganized, their momentum could be considered magnificent.
Along with the weapons and rations, Kong Rong sent a personal letter to Liu Bei.
As Liu Bei had given Xia Cheng the power to make a decision on his own, and the matter was urgent, Xia Cheng read the letter on behalf of Liu Bei.
The general meaning of the letter was that Kong Rong had already reorganized his army.
Considering that Xuzhou was in danger under Cao Cao's attack, he did not wait for Liu Bei and set off for Xuzhou first. He would join forces with Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, who was also supporting Qingzhou.
At the same time, he hoped that Liu Bei would be able to head to Xu Prefecture as soon as possible to join them.
Xia Cheng kept the letter.
Now, everything was ready. All that was left was the east wind.
As long as Liu Bei and the others returned, it would be the time to set off for Xu Prefecture!
Fortunately, this " east wind " soon came.
A day later, Liu Bei and Guan Yu returned to Beihai County with the troops they borrowed from Gongsun Zan.
"Is this…the legendary White Horse Righteous Servant?”Xia Cheng looked into the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, the most eye-catching thing in his eyes was the orderly white cavalry.
These cavalrymen were all dressed in white horses and silver spears. They were all calm and orderly, and their formation was not chaotic as they galloped. Their gazes were calm, and it was obvious that they were well-trained elites.
If one looked carefully, one could even find that the distance between each knight did not change drastically.
Only experienced people knew that this was because the riders were all very skilled in riding.
Therefore, when the horses galloped, they could easily control the horses through techniques to avoid the stones or dents on the road, so that their speed would not slow down.
These were the reasons why Liu Bei was so confident.
The five thousand soldiers that had been expanded previously and the three thousand soldiers that Xia Cheng had carefully selected from the Yellow Turban Army were only used to increase their momentum.
The troops he had borrowed from Youzhou were the main force.
It had to be said that these Youzhou soldiers who had fought and killed the Hu in the northern frontier were far stronger than the commoners recruited from the Central Plains.
Whether it was his essence, spirit, or the murderous aura that overflowed from his body, it gave people a sense of oppression.
These soldiers who had been stationed at the border for many years were all elite soldiers who had been through many battles.
Although Gongsun Zan was brave, he was not resourceful.
However, his bravery was genuine bravery.
Gongsun Zan's strength came from the overall strength of his army.
Youzhou had faced threats from other races all year round, so the soldiers under Gongsun Zan had fought their way out of the Blood Sea.
The White Horse Righteous Followers were Gongsun Zan's elite cavalry.
According to historical records, the Hu were extremely afraid of this elite cavalry unit."Whenever Gongsun Zan fought with the enemy, he often rode on a white horse and chased after them.'When avoiding a white horse.'"
"Gongsun Zan likes the white horse and has defeated the enemy many times. The enemy calls him the White Horse General. Therefore, 3,000 elite soldiers were selected, all riding white horses, known as "White Horse Yi Cong", in order to strengthen the guard.”
White horse Yi Cong, can be said to be famous.
Even in the entire Great Han Dynasty, it could be considered to enjoy a very high reputation.
Later, he was even known as the " number one light cavalry in the late Eastern Han Dynasty ".
"The Wuhuan have warned us to avoid the White Horse Chief."
The Hu beyond the Great Wall's battle record of fleeing upon seeing a white horse was not just for show!
To build an elite cavalry, the cost was actually very high.
Whether it was Gongsun Zan's white horse followers or Cao Chun's tiger leopard cavalry, they were all built with real gold and silver.
For Gongsun Zan, who was still considered a local tyrant, cavalry should be considered one of the most abundant resources.
After all, other than Western Liang, he probably had the most.
After years of fighting against the Xianbei and Wuhuan, he had obtained many good horses.
Gongsun Zan was the only one who could be so willful that he could choose purebred white horses without any color to form a special army.
Even someone as rich as Yuan Shao could only say that this was very embarrassing. There was really no one else!
