Global Warring States: Get the Tang Taizong template at the beginning

Chapter 227 Set off to Liangzhou!
Zhang Wen, the General of Chariots and Cavalry who led the Han army to suppress the rebels in Liang Province, had a nephew named Cai Mao and a niece named Madam Cai.

Zhang Wen petitioned Sun Jian and Tao Qian to join the military campaign to jointly suppress the Liangzhou rebels.

There is no need to say much about Sun Jian.

This Tao Qian was the one who later gave up Xuzhou three times.

At present, Tao Qian was not the governor of Xuzhou, but the commander of Yangwu.

Later, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and Xuzhou rose up again and attacked the prefectures and counties. The court appointed Tao Qian as the governor of Xuzhou to suppress the Yellow Turbans. As soon as Tao Qian arrived in Xuzhou, he appointed Zang Ba, a Taishan native who had fled to the East China Sea, and his fellow townsman Sun Guan as generals. Tao Qian defeated the Yellow Turbans and the remaining Yellow Turbans were forced to flee Xuzhou.

In "Global Warring States", due to player intervention, it is hard to say whether Tao Qian can become the governor of Xuzhou.

In order to resolve the threat from Nanyang County, Li Qian was delayed for some time and was unable to join the first batch of punitive troops.

But Li Qian was not that worried.

The Liangzhou rebels swept across Xiliang and terrorized Guanzhong. Half of the Liangzhou players joined the rebels. The rebels also included famous generals such as Han Sui and Ma Teng, special troops such as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Huangzhong Righteous Hu, whose combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the Han army.

In addition, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and other forces did not join the punitive army, and the size of the Han army was much smaller than when it was fighting against the Yellow Turban Army.

The main forces of the Han army were the troops of Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian.

Although Dong Zhuo had not yet been able to recruit Lu Bu, he also had a group of powerful generals and a troop of Western Liang cavalry under his command.

Sun Jian had four trusted generals, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao, as well as soldiers from Jiangdong.

The rebels and the Han army have not yet determined the outcome.

Li Qian returned to Xinye County and calmly recruited soldiers and deployed troops.

Li Qian occupied the two towns of Long and Hu. The troops of these two towns were the key to restraining the overlord of Western Qin and must be heavily guarded.

As long as these two towns are firmly in Li Qian's hands, the Overlord of Western Qin will not dare to invade Xinye County.

The reason is very simple. As long as the Overlord of Western Qin leads the main force to leave Rang County, the Long and Hu towns will immediately send troops to attack Western Qin City, and the Overlord of Western Qin's lair will be gone.

"Wei Yan led the troops to guard Longzhen, and Gao Xiang and Fu Rong were deputy generals."

"Di Qing led his troops to guard Huzhen, with Qin Ming and Deng Zilong as his deputy generals."

"Fang Xuanling is the military advisor and the governor of Long and Hu towns."

"Wei Rui led the troops to guard the Tang capital, and Huang Zhong was the deputy general. Deng Zhi and Wen Tianxiang assisted in defending the city."

Li Qian was still worried about Nanyang County's opponents, so he left behind many famous generals to guard against them.

Wei Yan was appointed as the governor of Hanzhong by Liu Bei, and had the ability to guard a county. Li Qian let Wei Yan guard a town and assigned two deputy generals, Gao Xiang and Fu Rong, to make the defense of Longzhen more solid.

Li Qian also asked Di Qing, Qin Ming and Deng Zilong to guard Huzhen. With three powerful generals in charge, Huzhen was equally indestructible.

In order to prevent Wei Yan or Di Qing from falling into the trap of the Overlord of Western Qin, Li Qian left military advisor Fang Xuanling to supervise the military affairs of the Long and Hu towns.

With Fang Xuanling's intelligence, it would be extremely difficult for the Overlord of Western Qin to conceal his true intentions and capture the two towns of Long and Hu.

The advantage of the combination of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui is that they can serve as military advisors together, making plans and tactics, and their ability is enough to rival that of a top-notch strategist. They can also serve as military advisors individually, so that Li Qian can fight on two fronts.

If either town, Long or Hu, is attacked, it can get support from the other town.

Six generals and a military advisor, such a lineup placed near the main city of the Overlord of Western Qin is enough to make the Overlord of Western Qin feel sick.

If the Overlord of Western Qin cannot conquer these two towns, the main force will not dare to leave the main city.

Once the two towns are attacked, whether they are capable of conquering them is one thing, and whether attacking the two towns will anger the prefect of Nanyang is another.

In short, Li Qian deployed powerful generals and heavy troops next to the lair of the Overlord of Western Qin. The Overlord of Western Qin probably couldn't sleep for several nights.

In addition to deploying six brave generals and a military advisor in Long and Hu towns, Li Qian planned to deploy 15000 troops in each of the two towns.

The two towns of Long and Hu have a population of 40, which can barely support 30000 troops. Even if they cannot, Li Qian's Xinye County can provide supplies.

Rather than giving the Overlord of Western Qin the opportunity to lead his troops to attack Xinye County and cause greater losses to Xinye County, it is better to deploy heavy troops at the doorstep of the Overlord of Western Qin, block the Overlord of Western Qin at home, and prevent the Overlord of Western Qin from having any chance to invade Xinye County.

Li Qian deployed 30000 troops in Long and Hu towns. Although most of them were ordinary soldiers and the number of cavalry was relatively small in order to save the cost of supporting 3 troops, the two towns of Long and Hu were mainly defensive, and conventional soldiers could also play a huge role in defending the city.

This is an army of 30,000, which may be more than the number of defenders in the Western Qin City of the Western Qin Overlord. I guess the Western Qin Overlord must be depressed.

The troops from Long and Hu towns can serve as two important reinforcements and provide support to Tang capital at any time when Tang capital is in danger.

Then, Li Qian ordered the recruitment of another 10,000 soldiers in Tangdu, and also recruited soldiers in other villages and towns in Xinye County, bringing the total number of troops in Xinye County to 30,000.

Li Qian led only 20000 troops to fight against the rebels in Liangzhou, leaving troops to guard Tangdu and other villages and towns in Xinye County.

Although Li Qian brought only 10,000 soldiers and horses, compared with the 30,000 troops stationed in Long and Hu towns and the 20,000 troops stationed in Tangdu, the number seems pitifully small. But in fact, many of the 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Li Qian are special troops and elite soldiers who have experienced many battles. Their combat effectiveness is no less than that of 30,000 troops, and can even be comparable to that of 50,000 troops.

All the towns in Li Qian's territory were actively recruiting soldiers and horses.

After all, Tangdu is Li Qian's main city. Even if he leaves 20000 soldiers, to be honest, the number is not enough.

Li Qian planned to recruit another 10,000 soldiers in Xinye County to be able to defend the Tang capital and eliminate the enemies from Nanyang County.

However, Li Qian was eager to go to fight against the Liangzhou rebels, and there was no time to wait until all the troops were recruited before setting off. So Li Qian chose to go to fight against the Liangzhou rebels in advance, leaving a group of generals in the territory to continue recruiting troops.

The enemies in the other four counties will not be able to recover for a while, so Li Qian does not have to worry about his territory being attacked before completing his recruitment plan.

Li Qian led his troops to Wancheng, and through Wancheng's teleportation array, they were directly teleported to Chang'an City in Guanzhong, and then from Chang'an City to the front line between Guanzhong and Liangzhou to participate in the campaign against the Liangzhou rebels.

At this time, the first batch of Han troops had already fought with the Liangzhou rebels. The lord players who participated in the battle killed the rebels and gained military merit.

Li Qian could see the ranking list of "Liangzhou Rebellion", and there were already lord players on the list.

The first batch of players who participated in the crusade against the Liangzhou rebels should try their best to widen the gap with the latecomers and maintain their advantage.

If they were left too far behind, it would be difficult for Li Qian to catch up with the first place.
