Chapter 179 Crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Conference(2/2)

Compared with Dorgon who does not have the Eight Banners Army, Dorgon is not at the same level of threat as he has the Eight Banners Army.

Mr. Zhao replied: "If he had recruited the Eight Banners Army, I don't think I would be able to defend the four counties of Beihai Kingdom."

"That's good."

Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

His worst fears didn't happen.

If Dorgon had thousands of Eight Banners troops, they would be able to reverse the situation of the war at a critical moment.

The cautious Cao Cao asked: "Which branch of the army is the most elite among the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans?"

Mr. Zhao pondered: "The Yellow Turbans of the third level are long. But we do not rule out the possibility that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans will start recruiting regular troops."

Even Tao Qian was moved at this moment: "Aren't they the Yellow Turbans?"

Mr. Zhao said: "Things are worse than we thought. The Yellow Turban Commander Dorgon tried to establish a kingdom in Qingzhou. He began to farm on a large scale, control the city, and recruit regular troops. If he succeeds, then a kingdom will be established in Qingzhou

, he will have hundreds of thousands of troops. This is by no means alarmist."

The various governors and governors realized the seriousness of the problem.

They still underestimated the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, especially Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou who proposed to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army within four months.

What they faced was not the ordinary Yellow Turban Army, but the peasant army that had transformed into a feudal kingdom.

"After the spring begins, it is no longer necessary to delay and go to war immediately."

"The West Route Army, with me, Liu Dai, as the chief general, and Meng De as the deputy general."

"Eastern Route Army, who of you is the chief general and who is the deputy general?"

Liu Dai looked at Tao Qian and Chu Tian.

They had already discussed the priority of Yanzhou in private. As for Xuzhou, Chutian was nominally managed by Tao Qian, but in fact it was divided into separate areas.

Tao Qian's general Cao Bao stood up and said: "Of course we, the governor, are the commander-in-chief!"

"OK."

Chu Tian agreed without saying a word. Since you want to be the general, let you be. If you really encounter the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, you will probably be beaten and run away.

Cao Bao didn't expect Chu Tian to agree so readily, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to fight for the position of commander this time.

"I have been ill recently, so I can only send my generals to attack."

Tao Qian is not as young as Cao Cao, Chu Tian and others. Cao Cao and Chu Tian can personally conquer Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but Tao Qian can only send two generals.

Tao Qian planned to send two military generals, Cao Bao and Mi Fang, commanding a total of 50,000 Xuzhou soldiers.

What a waste of resources.

Chu Tian heard that 50,000 Xuzhou soldiers were commanded by Cao Bao and Mi Fang. Isn't this a waste?

Any general sent under Chu Tian's command, not to mention Xue Rengui, Hua Mulan, Zhou Yafu and others, even Zang Ba and Sun Guan, are more capable than Cao Bao and Mi Fang. Otherwise, Xuzhou's aristocratic families would not rely on Taishan bandits and Chu Tian guards.

The northern gateway of Xuzhou.

Tao Qian has no strong generals, which is his weakness.

No matter how many troops there are but lack of good generals, it will not help. They will only serve to bring military exploits to others.

In the Yanzhou Army, basically only Cao Cao's 30,000 men have combat effectiveness. In the Qingzhou Army, only Zhao Gongzi and Taishi Ci have combat effectiveness. In the Xuzhou Army, only Chutian has combat effectiveness.

In other words, out of the 270,000 crusade troops, the real threat to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army may only be around 100,000. What they will face is the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's mighty human sea tactics, and the possibility of attacking from the flanks at any time.

Dorgon, Wu Sangui.

After the Yellow Turban Crusade against Qingzhou ended, all the lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty knew that the 270,000 crusade troops were going to hunt in Qingzhou.

Finally, after war broke out in Xiliang, Youzhou, Hanzhong, and Jizhou, Qingzhou in the east also began to become a large-scale battlefield.

The 270,000-strong crusade force, known as the Million Army, declared war on the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

When fighting a war, one must always exaggerate one's own military strength.

In Beihai Kingdom, Jimo City, Dorgon bought rough information about the crusade from strangers.

"An army of one million? If you enter Qingzhou, you will never come back."
