Chapter 716: Borrowing the power of the princes
With Qin Hao's 130,000 elites alone, even if he could forcibly capture Sizhou, which had 100,000 defenders, he would definitely lose both sides in the end.
So the road of the Northern Expedition, which has really not even started, has been completely blocked,
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Can you only wait for Dong Zhuo to call?" ”
Liu Bowen smiled indifferently and said, "The lord doesn't have to worry so much, once Dong Zhuo coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it is not only our family that will be threatened, but all the princes in the world." As long as the lord carries the banner of rebellion against Dong Zhuo, all the princes of the world will fully support the lord at that time. ”
Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in his heart: "Yes, it's a big deal to take the lead by yourself, and then the princes will discuss Dong again." ”
Liu Bowen's thoughts were still a little more conservative, he only thought that the princes of the world would support Qin Hao, but he didn't expect that the princes of the world would join forces to crusade.
Liu Bowen is not a god after all, how did he know that after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he actually committed a series of angry deaths.
Abolish the young emperor and set up a new emperor, stay in the palace at night, sleep in the palace maid, sleep the princess, sleep the princess, sleep the queen mother, kill the minister, kill the people, kill the emperor and the queen mother...... Since then, Dong Zhuo has completely embarked on the road of no return to the demon king.
Not only Liu Bowen couldn't think of it, but even Qin Hao couldn't figure it out, after all, Dong Zhuo in his impression was not stupid at all, it was impossible to die so obviously?
The ministers will leave a fig leaf for themselves, but so many death events are united, but this fig leaf is also thrown away, which is equivalent to telling the world that Lao Tzu is to rebel, that is, to change the dynasty, which of you can help Lao Tzu?
Originally, Dong Zhuo still had the hope of being a minister of Zhongxing, but after this series of events, Dong Zhuo's reputation was completely stinky, and he did threaten the princes of the world, which led to the crusade of the Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance.
Qin Hao doesn't know if Dong Zhuo in this life will be the same as in the original history, or if there are any hidden secrets in the original history, but as long as Dong Zhuo dares to reach out to his own territory, Qin Hao doesn't mind forming an alliance to discuss Dong.
Dong Zhuo's power is already big enough, and if it continues to grow, it will definitely arouse the jealousy of the rest of the princes.
Let's not talk about the far ones for the time being, let's talk about the near ones first, and the major princes of the four states, Yan, Henan, and Jizhou, will definitely join the princes' alliance, after all, they are also under Dong Zhuo's nose, so the alliance against Dong Zhuo is the general trend.
Suddenly, a bold idea flashed in Qin Hao's mind, that is: to use the power of the princes to defeat Dong Zhuo and capture Sizhou in one fell swoop.
Liu Bowen didn't know his own lord yet, and even had the idea of forming a coalition army, he still continued:
"The lord can first conclude an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with the surrounding princes, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Ding Yuan are all candidates who can form an alliance, and once Dong Zhuo comes to attack, he can also request some reinforcements as support."
Qin Hao nodded, if an alliance is formed now, if the alliance is to discuss Dong in the future, at least these allies will definitely join.
"Wen Ruo, the matter of lobbying the princes from all walks of life and concluding an alliance will be entrusted to you."
Xun Yu smiled indifferently and nodded, "No." ”
Seeing this, Liu Bowen continued: "Of course, these are passive moves, if you want to turn passive into active, the lord should still think of a way from the root, and the best way is to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing."
After the death of His Majesty, if Dong Zhuo forcibly enters Beijing, it will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the general He Jin, and then He Jin will definitely attract external forces to help now, and the lord can help him.
As long as Dong Zhuo can be repulsed, He Jin will definitely cut off Dong Zhuo's forces in Sizhou at that time, and the lord can ask Ying to attack and occupy Sizhou in two ways. ”
Qin Hao's brows furrowed tightly again when he heard this, although the risk of this plan is great, the benefits are also huge.
Dong Zhuo's forces have surrounded Guanzhong from three sides, if Qin Hao can't defeat Dong Zhuo in the short term, then he will definitely face the risk of being fully surrounded, and once he succeeds, Qin Hao will get the land of Sizhou, one state and four counties.
"Seeking wealth and danger, how can you achieve great things if you are so timid."
A cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he had already decided to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing as much as possible, and if he couldn't stop it, he would form a coalition army to fight Dong in order to capture Sizhou.
"Report ...... There was important news from Chang'an, Your Majesty that he had fallen ill. ”
"What?"
Qin Hao stood up suddenly, with both shock and clarity in his eyes.
Sure enough, is history going back to square one?
Just when everyone was still immersed in the news that Liu Hong was seriously ill, Qin Hao decisively ordered:
"The order is to order Bai Qi to lead 5,000 troops to guard against Yang Jian in the north, Yue Fei to lead 5,000 troops to guard against Li Shimin in the west, Xue Rengui to lead 5,000 troops to guard against Yuan Shu in the east, and Su Dingfang to lead 5,000 troops into Xinye to guard against Ding Yuan in the south."
The princes everywhere are expanding their armaments and wars, and the specific figures for the expansion of the army are also military secrets, and no one will take the initiative to expose their strength.
Although Qin Hao expanded his army by 100,000 at one time, after all, he only had one county, and it was reasonable that he could expand his army by 50,000.
Qin Hao only added 5,000 soldiers and horses on all sides, of course, his purpose was to show the enemy weakness, so that he could confuse Dong Zhuo and give him the illusion that Qin Hao was expanding the number of troops and was still within control.
After the meeting, Qin Hao returned to the backyard and accompanied Zhang Sheng to eat his last meal before leaving.
The purpose of Zhang Sheng's trip was actually to bring Zhang Ning back, and to see Xiang Yu, so he would not stay here with Qin Hao, and after a short rest, he would go south again.
As for Liu Mu, he has been in Nanyang School Palace in the past few days, and he doesn't know what he is doing with Cai Yan, so he didn't meet Zhang Sheng, which also made Qin Hao feel relieved.
"This is the new chef in the house, specially made for you, and it is all your favorite food."
Qin Hao pointed to the table full of delicacies and said with a smile: "Let's try it, we haven't had a meal together for many years." ”
Zhang Sheng didn't think about it, and said directly: "It's five years, six months and thirteen days." ”
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, she didn't remember it so clearly, and then smiled: "Then do you remember how long we have known each other?" ”
"Nine years."
Qin Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not right. ”
"It's nine years."
Nine years ago, Qin Hao was ten years old, she was eleven, and it was at that time that Qin Hao and Guiguzi saved her, and her fate has changed dramatically since then, how could she remember this wrongly.
"Three thousand two hundred and eighty-nine days, twenty-one hours, and fifty-four seconds." Qin Hao said seriously.
Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes and said coquettishly: "It's not serious." ”
"It's lively."
Qin Hao touched his nose in embarrassment, and then smiled: "Okay, let's eat it quickly, the food won't taste good if it's cold." ”
Zhang Sheng shook his head helplessly, took a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth, and soon after, his color changed instantly.
"Is this really tofu?" Zhang Sheng said in disbelief.
