Chapter 1010: White Wave and Black Mountain
Although Wang Mang also has the ability to command an army of 100,000, he believes that he is by no means the opponent of Bai Qi and Xue Rengui, but he does not have such a top commander under his command.
In order to improve the chances of winning this battle, Wang Mang really had no choice, so he decided to borrow someone to command this army, and set his sights on Chen Qingzhi under Chen Youliang, and Chen Qingzhi was the best person Wang Mang could borrow.
In fact, the candidate for the main general in Wang Mang's heart was not Chen Qingzhi at the beginning, but Han Xin, the son of Jizhou Mu Han Fu.
Han Fu in the original history was not Yuan Shao's opponent at all, even if he had Jizhou, he could only surrender helplessly, but after having Han Xin's son, Han Fu not only kept his own territory, but also won repeatedly in the battle with Yuan Shao, which made Wang Mang have to doubt the true identity of this Han Xin.
Wang Mang suspected that this Han Xin in Jizhou was actually one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, the 'Soldier Immortal' Han Xin, and after checking the information of this Han Xin, Wang Mang no longer had any doubts, who else could it be if it wasn't Han Xin who had such an amazing record?
In the intelligence collected by Wang Mang, although Han Xin's record is not as good as Bai Qi's, he is still an extremely dazzling existence in the Han military world.
The original Xianbei Shan Yu Helian died in Han Xin's ambush, and this almost caused 400,000 Xianbei iron horsemen to go south.
After that, Xianbei fell into internal strife and was finally annexed by Yuanmeng and Manchuqing, which means that Han Xin also indirectly helped Yuanmeng and Manchuqing.
As for Han Xin's other achievements, there are a lot of intelligence, but they are not big battles, but without exception, Han Xin will win every battle, and he has not tasted defeat so far.
It is definitely not an easy task to fight a hundred battles, and there are currently three people who have done it, Qin Hao, Bai Qi and Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's undefeated record was ended by Qin Hao.
Han Xinneng, like Qin Hao and Bai Qi, has never lost a battle, which is an extremely rare thing in itself, and it is enough to prove his ability to command troops.
Wang Mang originally wanted to invite Han Xin to be the commander, after all, Qin Hao's subordinates were suspected of Bai Qi's existence, and in the face of Bai Qi, the commander who was one of the best in history, Wang Mang thought that only the soldier Han Xin could compete with him.
Wang Mang thought it was indeed beautiful, but what he didn't expect was that no matter how much it cost, Han Fu was unwilling to send troops, and directly dealt with Wang Shichong's request for help.
Yuan Shao was eyeing Jizhou at any time, and Jizhou was divided into two factions for war or surrender, so the only person Han Fu could trust at this time was Han Xin, how could he send Han Xin out at this time?
Han Fu's refusal made Wang Mang angry and helpless, and in the end he could only retreat and choose Chen Qingzhi as the commander.
Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes.
Although Chen Qingzhi's record is not as undefeated as Bai Qi and Han Xin, it is also unprecedented in China's 5,000-year history.
Maybe there is a certain exaggeration in this, but Wang Mang thinks that the flaws are not hidden, and that flaw cannot erase Chen Qingzhi's credit.
Of course, Wang Mang is also sorry if he doesn't come to Han Xin, but it is enough to have Chen Qingzhi here, after all, what he wants is not to defeat Qin Hao immediately, but to try to hold the fruits of victory first after seizing enough territory.
Moreover, Chen Qingzhi is also the best person who can be borrowed from Wang Mang's ability at present, and Wang Mang has no one available at all except him.
Thinking of this, Wang Mang was even more envious and jealous of Qin Hao, Qin Hao had a lot of famous generals and handsomes, and he didn't worry about talents at all, unlike if he had to borrow someone to command him in a battle, it was simply a shame to pass through this, and he smelled the tears of the sad listener.
"All this will pass, I will have what Qin Hao has sooner or later, and now is the most difficult period, as long as I can get through it smoothly, the road ahead will definitely be smooth."
Wang Mang comforted himself like this in his heart, and only in this way could he convince himself to continue to grit his teeth and persevere.
Wang Mang knew that even if Yuanmeng contained the Jin army, even if he attracted the mercenaries of the Chen and Zhang families, even if Chen Qingzhi was the commander, it would still not be easy to take food from Qin Hao's mouth, after all, there was an insurmountable gap between the armies of the two sides.
Qin Hao has a total of 130,000 troops in Sizhou, and the Qin army is the highest quality army in the world, both in terms of equipment and training, it is far from being comparable to the miscellaneous army that Wang Mang temporarily put together.
Wang Mang didn't have enough time to train the army, and since he was destined to be inferior to the other party in terms of quality, Wang Mang could only think of a way in terms of quantity, and he had to rely on quantity to completely crush Qin Hao.
In addition to the method of expanding the army, Wang Mang also needs more troops, but Jizhou can no longer borrow soldiers and horses, and Yanzhou is about to break out a big war, so it is obviously impossible to participate......
At this time, Wang Mang suddenly discovered that in order to deal with Qin Hao this time, he had mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, and now he had nowhere to borrow his strength when he looked around.
"No, there's still a place to borrow."
Wang Mang stared at the map, and after a long time, his eyes flashed, and he sneered: "The two thieves of Baibo and Montenegro may be able to use one or two. ”
The Black Mountain Thief in Wang Mang's mouth refers to the remnant Ming who escaped into Taihang, and he still carries the banner of the Ming Dynasty, but the outside world calls him the 'Black Mountain Thief'.
Although the white wave thief is the remnant of the Yellow Turban, it is not the same concept as the remnant of the Ming.
The white wave thieves are led by Guo Tai and Yang Feng, and Guo Tai is not only the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, but also one of Zhang Jiao's personal disciples.
Before the Yellow Turban was completely defeated, Guo Tai followed Zhang Bao, that is, Zhang Sanfeng to fight in Jizhou, and after Huangfu Song defeated Zhang Bao, Guo Tai led part of the remnants of the army to retreat to Hedong, and then flowed in the Baibo Valley between the West River and Hedong, so it was called the "White Wave Thief".
Under its careful development, the Baibo Yellow Turban reached the level of 100,000 people, and at most 20,000 troops could be dispatched to fight, and its strength was not inferior to that of the princes of the south.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sheng also ordered the recall of Mrs. Guo, and Mrs. Guo agreed at that time.
But as Fang La poked out the identity of Zhang Sheng's woman, this also made Guo Tai unable to accept a woman to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty no matter what, and this also made the white wave thief and the Ming completely part ways.
Wang Mang wanted to lure Bai Bo and Montenegro as foreign aid, and all he could pay was grain, grass and land, and these were all things that Bai Bo thieves could not refuse.
In the end, under Wang Mang's personal persuasion, Guo Tai, the leader of Baibo, agreed to his request to send troops and personally led 20,000 troops to help in the war.
After getting rid of Mrs. Guo, Wang Mang once again set his sights on the Black Mountain thief, and for the legendary empress on Taihang Mountain, Wang Mang seriously suspected that the other party was also a traverser.
