Chapter 115: Nanyang County's Rivals (Fourth Update)
Tiance Town had several more military generals and civil officials. Wei Rui, Wen Tianxiang, Gao Xianzhi, Yuchi Jingde and Deng Zilong joined the town, making it more prosperous and lively.

Li Qian arranged for Wen Tianxiang and civil servants such as Sang Hongyang and Deng Zhi to take care of internal affairs, while Wei Rui, Gao Xianzhi, Deng Zilong and Gao Xianzhi trained their troops, on the one hand to prepare for the national war that might start at an unknown time, and on the other hand to prepare to sweep across Xinye.

To conquer the world, you need soldiers and horses.

Recruiting soldiers and buying horses requires money and food.

Money and food come from the land.

Li Qian decided to take Xinye County first, and then use Xinye County as a base to seize Nanyang County.

Nanyang County was one of the largest counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty. By taking over Nanyang County, there would be enough capital to go north to compete for the Central Plains, or go south to capture Jingzhou and establish a regime outside the Yangtze River.

Although Li Qian did not dare to risk the world's condemnation and attack the city garrisoned by the Han army, Li Qian could capture the villages and towns around Xinye City and surround Xinye City.

At that time, even if the imperial court did not appoint Li Qian as the magistrate of Xinye, Li Qian could actually control Xinye County and become the uncrowned king.

As for capturing Nanyang County, it is far from the right time.

Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, led the powerful soldiers and generals brought from Jiangxia County to garrison Wancheng. All the taxes of the 37 counties of Nanyang County were handed over to Wancheng. Wancheng obtained a steady supply of money and food, recruited soldiers and horses, and Qin Jie's strength grew rapidly.

At present, there are as many as 200,000 Han troops in Wancheng, and their military power is controlled by Jiangxia generals such as Zhao Ci, Chen Sheng, and Zhang Hu.

In addition, there were Han troops stationed in every county in Nanyang County.

Li Qian's Tiance Town could only dispatch a few thousand soldiers at most. If he attacked Wancheng, first of all, it would be a question whether he could conquer this huge city. Secondly, he would be labeled as an accomplice of the Yellow Turbans and be attacked by princes all over the world.

Rivals such as the Greatest Emperor of All Time wish that Li Qian, who ranks first, would be attacked by troops from all over the world, so that they can come from behind and seize the position of the number one lord.

If the lord player is to be able to truly capture cities and territories, he will probably have to wait until Dong Zhuo enters the capital. Without the imperial court, all the states and counties in the world will fall into chaos, and the imperial court will be unable to manage it.

Before this, all lord players attacked territories established by other players to avoid being conquered by the imperial court.

After Li Qian returned from Jizhou and received all the rewards, he began to clean up the villages and towns built by other players in Xinye County.

Xinye County’s biggest competitor, Nan Batian, had already been killed by Li Qian in advance. The remaining player lords in Xinye County were nothing to worry about. It was only a matter of time before they took over Xinye County.

The only concern is that the lord players of other counties in Nanyang County may not sit idly by and wait for Li Qian to occupy Xinye before sending troops to attack them.

The last time Li Qian went to Nieyang County to invite Zhang Zhongjing to Xinye County, he had a feud with the players in Nieyang County.

There are thirty-seven counties in Nanyang County, and Xinye County is just one of them. If you want to occupy Nanyang County, you have to capture all thirty-seven counties.

Nanyang County also has the troops of the prefect Qin Jie, as well as its mortal enemy, the greatest emperor of all time who has the template of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and the situation is complicated.

The territory of the greatest emperor in history is in Bowang County.

Apart from Xinye, Nieyang and Bowang counties, which Li Qian knew a little about, he didn't know much about which lord players were in the other thirty-four counties and which generals' templates these lord players had obtained.

The main reason is that there are too many counties in Nanyang County!

With so many counties, Li Qian needs to know which lord players are in these counties and how they are developing. He really doesn't have that much energy to pay attention to the situation in these counties one by one. He can only wait until he conquers these counties in the future and then check the situation in these counties one by one.

Li Qian was still not reassured, so he opened the previous battle merit list and studied it carefully.

"In the Yellow Turban Rebellion's overall battle merit list, three lords from Nanyang County were in the top 100, and another three lords were between 100th and 300th. Nanyang County is indeed a large county with many hidden talents."

Li Qian discovered that in the total military merit list, three lords from Nanyang County were actually in the top 100.

There were hundreds of counties and kingdoms in the Eastern Han Dynasty. On average, each county and kingdom had one lord in the top 100. However, Nanyang County was indeed a large county, with three lords ranked in the top 100.

Li Qian ranked first, the greatest emperor of all time ranked fifty-fifth, and a lord player named "King of Qin" ranked eighty-second.

This lord player is located in Rang County.

Rang County is located in the northwest of Xinye County, bordering Nieyang County, and is not far from Xinye County.

"This person may be a strong enemy."

Li Qian paid a little attention to this lord player.

The lord players who can rank in the top 100 of the total battle merit list are no ordinary people.

There are many talented people in the Huaxia area, and there are countless players who have obtained the templates of kings, princes and generals.

Templates of characters such as Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Yang of Sui, Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizu of Song, Sun Wu, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, etc. may all be obtained by a player.

Some players act low-key, and as long as they don't say anything, outsiders may not be able to guess what template they have.

The reason why other players speculated that Li Qian had obtained the template of Emperor Taizong of Tang was not because Li Qian was a flamboyant person, but because Li Qian ranked first and the Black Armor Army was too eye-catching, so it was impossible to keep a low profile.

In addition, the lord players who are in the top 100 of the Battle Merit List at this time may not necessarily become princes in the future.

Some templates of emperors and generals will only come into play in the later stages.

The emperor and general templates obtained by players are divided into several stages. Some emperor and general templates are not very powerful in the early stage but become powerful in the later stage.

In addition, the situation in the world is changing rapidly, and it is possible that one party will take over and another will take over.

Of course, the template of Emperor Taizong of Tang that Li Qian obtained was very powerful, no matter in the early, middle or late stages.

"I need to be on guard against the Great Emperor. His brave army is not easy to deal with. There is also the great general Han Qinhu."

"Which emperor or general model did the King of Qin from Rang County adopt?"

Li Qian checked the information of the Rang County lord player "King Qin" on the forum and found that there were very few posts about him.

The most popular lord players in Nanyang County are Li Qian ranked first and the second is the Emperor of the Ages.

Some curious players on the forum even started a thread to analyze Li Qian's military strength, and some even analyzed Li Qian's strategic intentions, believing that Li Qian chose to build a village in Nanyang County and might send troops to occupy Luoyang and Chang'an.

"..."

Li Qiancai only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, how could he send troops to Luoyang and Chang'an?
Li Qian would only do this if his brain was stuck in the door.

"This King Qin is very powerful."

Li Qian still found information about the lord of Rang County. He led his troops to attack many villages and towns built by players in Rang County. He was able to defeat thousands of players alone and rushed into hundreds of players, killing them indiscriminately.

What is certain is that the lord of Rang County, the "King of Qin", is personally very powerful and has an iron cavalry, making him a formidable enemy.

"Once we recruit a team of Night Warriors, we need to send a team to Rang County to keep an eye on the movements of this lord."
