The news that Li Xiang was named the Great General of the Great Han Dynasty, granted the title of Marquis of Divine Martial Arts, and granted 18,000 households in Longxi and Wudu counties, and that he would lead troops from all over the country to fight against the Yellow Turbans, soon spread throughout Luoyang.

For a time, the noble families and people in Luoyang cheered and envied Li Xiang. They were envious and jealous of him.

Li Xiang had only been in the court for a few years, but now he was the Great General of the Great Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Divine Martial Arts.

You have to know that the General of the Great Han Dynasty was a general of the Three Dukes level, and it was set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for Huo Qubing. In other words, Li Xiang's current status was almost the same as Huo Qubing's.

How could this not make the people of Luoyang's noble families envious?

However, although the people of Luoyang's noble families were envious, they also hoped that Li Xiang could turn the tide and defeat the rampant Yellow Turbans in various places.

After the court session, the plaque of Li Xiang's mansion was quickly replaced with the plaque of "General of the Cavalry".

In the meeting hall.

Li Cunxiao, Li Guangbi, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals gathered and directly filled the hall.

Li Xiang sat at the top.

"We congratulate the general, and the official title will be promoted!"

Li Cunxiao, Li Guangbi, Huang Zhong and other generals looked at each other and congratulated Li Xiang in unison.

Especially Li Cunxiao and Li Guangbi were full of joy.

Both of them were integrated into the Longxi Li branch of the Han Dynasty, and they felt very involved.

Li Xiang was able to advance to the rank of General of the Cavalry and Marquis of Divine Martial Arts, almost reaching the pinnacle that a military general could achieve, bringing glory to his family, and it was also a blessing for them.

Although Li Xiang was also happy, he still waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't be happy so early. This marquis was appointed by the court to conquer and pacify the Yellow Turbans. There are millions of Yellow Turbans surging everywhere, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with. If we lose this battle, it will have a big impact. You should think about how to fight!"

Li Xiang's voice resounded throughout the hall. When the generals heard his words, they thought of the surging Yellow Turbans in various states of the Han Dynasty, and they began to frown.

In the three major Yellow Turban battlefields, the main force of the Yellow Turbans was 500,000.

This did not count the scattered Yellow Turban troops in various places.

The Yellow Turbans were not that weak. The urgent reports from all over the country and the news sent back by the three defeated generals of the imperial court all said that the Yellow Turbans fought like crazy, regardless of their own casualties, and launched suicide attacks on them. Moreover, the number of people killed in each battle was ten times that of their main army.

Thinking of these two characteristics of the Yellow Turbans, Li Cunxiao and Li Guangbi could not help but frown.

"It is indeed not easy to fight. I, Li Cunxiao, am not afraid of anyone when charging into battle. However, our army is only 30,000. If we face the 200,000 crazy Yellow Turbans, we will not say whether we can win. The damage to ourselves will be great. The brothers did not die on the grassland, but they were eventually lost to the Yellow Turbans. It is not worth it to lose to the Han Dynasty!"

Li Cunxiao, the first fierce general in the army, shook his head and said.

Obviously, Li Cunxiao did not want the Imperial Guards Expeditionary Army and the Begging Army to be lost to the Han Dynasty itself.

In fact, not only Li Cunxiao did not want to, but the other generals did not want to either.

They saw the vastness of the grassland, fought the grassland to the point of crying, and made the leaders of the various tribes on the grassland to bow down. When they returned to the Han Dynasty, they were greeted by the cheers of the Han people.

They felt the glory and value of being a general.

If possible, they would rather fight with the Three Han, Goguryeo, the Western Regions, Wusun, Dayuan, Kangju, the Kushan Empire and even the Parthian Empire outside the Han Dynasty, rather than let their brothers lose in the civil war.

Li Xiang nodded in affirmation of Li Cunxiao's words.

Indeed.

It is not worth it to let the soldiers you have trained with great difficulty lose to the Yellow Turban Army.

"Tell me, how should we fight this battle to minimize casualties? Generals in the back row, you can also express your opinions."

Li Xiang smiled and said to the crowded generals in the army.

This time, Li Xiang summoned the generals down to the Sima level in the army to discuss matters, and he also planned to train people.

At that time, the selection of the Yulin Army in Luoyang was grand, and more than 28,000 people were selected!

Those 28,000 Yulin soldiers were undoubtedly the ones with the strongest physical fitness among the 200,000 or 300,000 people who participated in the selection.

They were the embryos of a strong army.

And he, Li Xiang, ordered more than 28,000 new recruits to participate in the military competition.

Seven new lieutenants and 20 military commanders were added.

The strongest 27 people were selected from the competition.

After the grand military competition, a list of 27 people was released.

The 27 people on the list are:

Seven major
Lieutenants:

Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, Li Nan, Liu Yu

Twenty military commanders:

Zhao Yu, Han Xiao, Yuan Han, Lin Yuhao, Lin Yuan, Duanmu Jing, Liu Bo, Xing Daorong………

Li Xiang is familiar with Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, and Wei Yan. Although they are still quite young, Li Xiang still has high hopes for them.

Moreover, as the battle on the grassland progressed, Li Xiang also watched them become better and stronger step by step, slowly fade away from their immaturity, and gradually adapt to the battlefield in the army.

Of course, in addition to these famous generals, he also discovered a group of unknown generals who were equally good.

Among them, the two major lieutenants Li Nan and Liu Yu who can be listed with Dian Wei, Guan Yu and others are not weak.

Even later, Li Jing accepted the young Zhang Liao as his disciple.

With so many generals under his command, Li Xiang naturally asked them to express their opinions and placed high hopes on them. These people will be the backbone of his army in the future.

Li Xiang couldn't help but look at the generals who were standing behind, including Li Nan, Liu Yu, Zhao Yu, Han Xiao, Yuan Han, Lin Yuhao, Lin Yuan, Duanmu Jing, Liu Bo, Xing Daorong, etc.
