Li Tang's reputation has been calculated in millions, and his merits are even more astronomical, so Li Tang hurriedly found someone to exchange for low-level official seals and tiger talismans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAnyway, you can redeem it now in your own territory, and if you don't change it at this time, when will you wait?

The city needs a letter of appointment, and Li Tang naturally used his power to sign a letter of appointment for his subordinate city.

Originally, I was worried about exposing my strength, so I only appointed a few cities, but now it seems that it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's the left hand that gives the right hand an appointment.

However, in a few days, Li Tang's side basically pacified all the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and even if there were any, they were driven out of Zhangling County.

Therefore, Li Tang hurriedly wrote a letter and reported the good news to Xu Xuan, the assassin of Xiangyang, but he only reported that he had defeated and defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and most of the Yellow Turban Army had fled from Zhangling County.

Moreover, their own troops suffered heavy casualties, many soldiers were injured and sick, and there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the original city, so it was urgent to retire a group of soldiers, so it was necessary to continue to expand the troops.

In addition, the city of Zhangling was small and the population was not large, and the tax revenue was not enough to raise soldiers. Moreover, the countryside was seriously damaged by the Yellow Turban Army, and the fields were full of hunger, not only could not collect taxes, but even the people needed to put grain for disaster relief.

After Xu Xuan received the report, he turned Li Tang into a positive position and did not mention it.

As for the problem that Li Tang mentioned that the tax is not enough to raise soldiers, it can also be understood.

Zhangling County originally had 400,000 troops, plus the 300,000 troops brought by Li Tang, there were 700,000 soldiers.

Originally, Zhangling County raised 400,000 troops, which can still be fed, plus 300,000, there are still many old, weak, sick and wounded soldiers who need to be retired, which requires retirement expenses, at least severance expenses should be given!

If you can't run out of soldiers, let him starve to death! Re-recruiting recruits, training costs, clothing costs, equipment costs, etc., all require money. This Xu Xuan is naturally understandable.

Not to mention, Xu Xuan is really not good at refusing Li Tang. Because, when Li Tang received his own order, he completed the task non-stop and to the letter. And, extremely fast.

If he doesn't meet his requirements, then Li Tang's army has no money and food for blood, which is equivalent to being abolished, so who else will listen to his orders and use himself as a sword in the future?

Even if Li Tang embezzled from it, it would not be a big deal. After all, where is the reason to tell the horses to run and not to eat grass?

Therefore, after thinking twice, Xu Xuan decided to let Li Tang maintain the army in Zhangling County to about 800,000.

At the same time, Zhangling County was exempted from taxes for 2 years, so that Zhangling County could raise soldiers. Moreover, 800,000 troops were provided with a year's worth of grain and grass, which was provided on a monthly basis. In addition, Li Tang was paid 1 million gold coins at one time, and then 100,000 gold coins were paid every month to cover the expenses of the army.

Li Tang also asked for it casually, anyway, the crying child has milk to drink, and he is thankful that he can rely on the taxes.

Now, not only has he lost two years of taxes, but he really has to get money and food, and Li Tang can't keep his mouth shut.

There is no requirement behind the letter, that is, he wants to cooperate with Xu Xuan and set off from Zhangling County to attack Zhang Mancheng, who is attacking Wancheng.

Today, Zhangling County has a large army, 420,000. Among them, 20,000 were the elite of the original defenders.

In addition, the 100,000 people recruited are all locals of Zhangling County, they were originally prisoners, miscellaneous soldiers and the like, and later they were captured by Li Tang, sent to the Qiankun bracelet, and joined Li Tang's Linhai City, it can be said that they are actually Li Tang's people.

Although these soldiers are new recruits, they are actually elite, and the lowest is more than four stars, and they have all been transferred to strong bowmen and crossbow guards who are good at defense, stationed in Zhangling County and large market towns around the country.

Because these people are locals, they will naturally protect their hometowns.

However, Xu Xuan gave Li Tang a quota of 800,000, and now he has only used half of it.

Li Tang naturally wants to re-recruit soldiers, with this name, if you don't recruit soldiers, you won't recruit in vain!

Therefore, Li Tang recruited troops and horses, selected elites, and threw the selected ones into the Qiankun bracelet, and then tempted them to join the starting point city.

In this process, Li Tang's recruitment criteria are very wide, and only those who are brave and brave can do it, more often, it is those weak scholars who are selected by Li Tang! People with special life skills, not to mention, are Li Tang's favorite.

Therefore, Li Tang has always been abducting and selling people in the name of recruitment!

As for the soldiers, Li Tang really has no shortage of them! Nowadays, the battles on Yizhou Island and Ryukyu Island no longer need so many troops, and many four-star soldiers have begun to turn into city defense troops, and the main battle forces have begun to focus on special troops and five-star soldiers.

Therefore, if you need soldiers, Li Tang will transfer them directly!

In just a few months, Li Tang had already transferred 400,000 troops to Zhangling County, including 300,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry. The cavalry naturally consists of 180,000 Shi Tianze, Zhang Hongfan, and Guo Kan, basically all of them are archers and rangers, and a small number of heavy cavalry.

The infantry was personally led by Li Tang, Liu Cheng was the deputy general, commanded on behalf of Li Tang, and the infantry was also a mixture of strong bow soldiers, rattan armor soldiers, and crossbow guards, and even some trapped camps.

Tang Shu stayed in Zhangling County to defend the back road, and at the same time coordinated the defense of various places. Zhang Fu led 60,000 cavalry to rush back and forth to protect the grain route, and by the way, support all parts of Zhangling County to prevent the Yellow Turban rebellion from causing trouble.

Ready, Li Tang commanded an army of 640,000, known as 1 million, and invaded Nanyang County (Wancheng). Among them, the general Guo Kan was the vanguard, leading 180,000 iron horsemen, opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water.

Shi Tianze and Zhang Hongfan were on the left and right wings, opening a distance of more than 50 miles, and advancing forward in the shape of a pinzig. He followed with 100,000 infantry.

If you want to say that the soldiers are fast, why don't you just stab Wancheng? No, Li Tang doesn't want to, it's really Shi Tianze who won't let him.

Speaking of which, although Zhangling County belongs to the jurisdiction of Nanyang, it is in the southernmost part of Nanyang County, very far away from Nanyang County, almost more than 8,000 miles, and most of the states and counties occupied by the Yellow Turban Army on the way.

If you go on a rampage, it's easy in the past, but it's easy to be shut down and beaten by someone!

At this time, Xu Xuan was also ready to stop, and led 3 million horse infantry elite soldiers to attack Zhang Mancheng's army.

Although Xu Xuan and Li Tang started their troops at about the same time, it is very likely that Xu Xuan will arrive first, because he is in Xiangyang, and he is actually relatively close to Wancheng.

In other words, this Zhang Mancheng, since the beginning of the army, everything has been smooth, all the way to attack the city and plunder the wall, all of them have fallen.

When he raised his army, he was still a little uneasy when he proclaimed himself a divine envoy, but after this year's battle, the champions of Nanyang County, Ye County, Xinye County, Xi'e County, Pheasant County, Luyang County, Lixian County, Duyang County, Bowang County, Wuyinyi, Biyang County, Fuyang County, Pingshi County, Jianyang County, Huyangyi, Sui County, Yuyangyi, Nieyang County, Yin County, Yu County, Deng County, Shandu State, Liguo, Sui County, Chaoyang County, Caiyang County, An Zhongguo, Zhuyang County, Wudang County, Shunyang County, Chengdu County, Xiangxiang County, Nanxiang County, Danshui County, Xixian and so on have fallen.

Even Wancheng, which has a tall wall, that is, Nanyang County, was also broken by him a month ago. Wancheng Chu Gong, but the high Taishou, was not cut off by him, and he cut off his head with a knife and hung it on the city wall!

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Mancheng's heart was full of confidence, thinking that there should be no city that could block his Zhang Mancheng's attack.

When his army is finished, he will send troops to Xiangyang and take the head of Xiangyang Xu Xuan.

In this way, if you occupy Jingzhou, you will be the emperor in the future, and it is not impossible!

If there is anything he has to hate, it is the small city next to Jingzhou City, Li Tang, the city lord of the starting point city.

This Li Tang opposed him again and again, first capturing his younger brother and extorting his money from his younger brother and a group of military generals.

Then, kill his general Sun Zhong and expel his army.

Therefore, when his soldiers are resting, they must go to break the starting point city and break this Li Tang into ten thousand pieces.

However, before he could prepare to attack Xiangyang City and Qiqi City, he received a report from his subordinates that Xu Xuan had brought 3 million horse infantry elite soldiers to attack his Wancheng.

And Li Tang, with an army of 1 million, attacked himself from another direction.

Qin Jie, the governor of Jiangxia, has been appointed by Xu Xuan as the Taishou of Nanyang, leading 1.5 million sailors and thousands of warships, going upriver along the Han River, and after arriving in Xiangyang, he turned into the Baihe River (known as Shuishui in ancient times) and took Wancheng directly.

Although, this road is the farthest, but presumably they must be the fastest to reach Wancheng. (In the Han Dynasty, Baihe was able to go down to Wancheng.) ）

Speaking of which, after the Bai River and the Tang River merge into the Tang Bai River, it enters the Han River in Yangyang, which is a relatively large tributary of the Han River.

Especially in the game, this big river, running a boat is completely no problem.

Originally, Shi Tianze suggested that he transfer the navy and take Wancheng directly.

However, Li Tang considered that he did not have the order to mobilize the navy, and went all the way down, entering the Yangtze River and the Han River against the current, and he didn't know how many checkpoints he had to go through!

It's not good to cause conflict with other people.

What's more, it has aroused the jealousy of others, which is even worse! At this time, low-key is the king!

Originally, Zhang Mancheng still wanted to lead his troops out of the city to meet the enemy, but then he thought about it, this Qin Jie came by boat, and he didn't know when he would kill his own city.

It is easy to fortify on land, and it is also easy to calculate the location of the enemy. However, on the big river, the enemy may come ashore at any time, and it would not be good if his own marching intelligence leaked and someone copied the back road!

Generally, the terrain on both sides of the inland river is relatively flat, and it is a plain, if you really want to sneak attack yourself, you have no choice!

Therefore, Zhang Man wants to send troops to various counties to strengthen their defenses and keep the enemy out of the country! Now it seems that I still have to worry about others smashing Huanglong!

Therefore, each family should take care of their own family, and if the city can't hold it, run back to Wancheng and strengthen the defense.
