Chapter 335: Forced Recruitment
In the dungeon of Tang capital, the captured Western Qin general Zong Luohou was wearing heavy shackles and looked a little decadent.

Zong Luohou was loyal to the Overlord of Western Qin and was unwilling to surrender to Li Qian.

Historically, Zhai Changsun, a military general from the Western Qin forces, surrendered to Li Shimin and helped Li Shimin build the Black Armor Army, which significantly increased Li Shimin's strength to a higher level.

Zong Luohou and Xue Rengao, who were also members of the Western Qin forces, were escorted to Chang'an by Li Shimin and beheaded.

Therefore, it was relatively easy to persuade Zhai Changsun to surrender, but it was not so easy to persuade Zong Luohou to surrender.

As a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, Zong Luohou raised his head. Li Qian brought two generals to the dungeon.

"Zong Luohou, are you still unwilling to give up the dark and join the light?"

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Qian really didn't want to use the second-rate compulsory recruitment order.

After all, second-rate compulsory recruitment orders are so rare that you don’t know when you will get one next time.

Zong Luohou's eyes sparkled with a gleam of spirit: "A loyal minister does not serve two masters. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. But if you want me to work for you, that's just a daydream."

Ugh.

Li Qian sighed secretly in his heart.

Throughout history, there have been many people like Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, and Qin Hui, but there have also been loyal ministers.

Even a short-lived separatist force like Western Qin had a group of loyal ministers.

no solution anymore.

"Ding, you used the second-rate compulsory recruitment order on Zong Luohou. Zong Luohou pledged allegiance to you, and his initial loyalty is 90."

After Li Qian used the compulsory recruitment order on Zong Luohou, Zong Luohou's stubborn eyes became blurred and he lowered his proud head.

The compulsory recruitment order is still useful.

The highest quality compulsory recruitment order that Li Qian has obtained so far is only a second-rate compulsory recruitment order. If he can get a first-rate compulsory recruitment order, as long as he can capture first-rate generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he can carry out compulsory recruitment, and even the brotherhood of Liu, Guan, and Zhang in Peach Garden will be useless.

Li Qian checked Zong Luohou's character attributes.

This Liangzhou general, who once followed Xue Ju with Zhai Changsun to defeat the eight generals of the Tang army, was only a second-rate general, but his character attributes were still very impressive.

[Story]: A general of the Western Qin Dynasty who ruled Longxi during the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, he followed Xue Ju to defeat the Tang army. After Xue Ju's death, Xue Rengao sent Zong Luohou to lead troops to resist, but was defeated by the cavalry led by Li Shimin. Xue Rengao led Zong Luohou and other civil and military officials out of the city to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Zong Luohou and Xue Rengao were escorted to Chang'an by Li Shimin and beheaded. This general has reached the peak of his personal ability. If you want to continue to improve the ability of this general, please explore other possibilities.

……

Zong Luohou's actual military strength is 96, his command is 86, and his military general characteristics can enhance the attack capability of the cavalry, making him an attack-type general.

If Zong Luohou were equipped with a team of heavily armored cavalry, his frontal attack would be very fierce and could cause a devastating blow to the enemy's formation.

Of course, the most powerful force in Western Qin is still Lord Xue Ju. Xue Ju is definitely a first-class military general, so he was able to defeat the eight generals of the Tang army and capture several of them alive.

But after Xue Ju's death, Xue Rengao and Zong Luohou were defeated relatively easily by Li Shimin, and Western Qin was destroyed in just a few months. This shows that without Xue Ju, Zong Luohou and other generals, they were no match for Li Shimin at all.

Therefore, Western Qin generals such as Zong Luohou and Zhai Changsun were only evaluated as second-rate generals by the system.

Lord players such as the Emperor of the Ages have sent more than one team of cavalry to the south to plunder the population and food supplies of Li Qian's forces. Li Qian is short of cavalry generals to intercept them. By forcibly recruiting Zong Luohou, Li Qian has one more cavalry general to use. When the troops are divided and attacked together, he can also send out an extra cavalry unit, which is more conducive to intercepting the enemy cavalry that are heading south to plunder the population and food supplies.

After recruiting Zong Luohou, Tangdu's cavalry troops were also assembled.

This time, Li Qian assembled 30,000 cavalrymen and personally led them north.

Perhaps 30,000 cavalrymen are not an exaggerated scale for the top lord players such as Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou, because these border states and counties produce horses, but in the Central Plains, especially in the counties close to the south, dispatching 30,000 cavalrymen at a time is quite an exaggerated matter.

The mighty attack of 30,000 cavalrymen could hardly escape the eyes and ears of the players.

The greatest emperor of all time has received the news that Li Qian is sending troops.

"There are as many as 20,000 to 30,000 cavalrymen... My goodness, after the scholar annexed Anzhong County and Rang County, his strength has really increased greatly. The two idiots, Ji Shiyu and Xi Qin Bawang, gave their territories to Li Qian for nothing. Now, it is even more difficult for me to deal with him."

The emperor's spies roughly estimated the number of troops Li Qian would send out and reminded the emperor to be careful and on guard.

The emperor of all ages heard that Li Qian could dispatch 30,000 cavalry at a time. Such a number was obviously much stronger than when Li Qian only had Xinye County.

During this period, Li Qian had been recruiting soldiers and horses. In addition, after completing the Battle of Xiangji Temple, he obtained the cavalry general Pugu Huai'en and the Uighur cavalry and Shuofang cavalry. Therefore, Li Qian's forces had a large number of cavalry and were even stronger.

Even if it is not in places like Bingzhou and Liangzhou, cavalry is equally important.

The reason why the eight generals of the Tang army lost to Xue Ju was probably because the number of war horses of the Tang army was not as good as Xue Ju's at the beginning. After Li Shimin formed the Black Armor Army, it became almost invincible.

After occupying the Central Plains, Cao Cao set about building the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which became famous throughout the world.

Li Qian also attached great importance to the cavalry unit.

"You've come just in time, Military Advisor. You will be in charge of this cat-and-mouse game."

The greatest emperor of all time did not seem to be in a hurry, but looked at the military advisor beside him who proposed the tactic of tiring the enemy.
