Chapter 1015: Three Divisions
Chapter 1015: Three Divisions
If Sizhou is divided into eight parts, the Qin army has accounted for four of them, the Southern Union army accounts for three, and the Liang army accounts for one.
Qin Hao's main sphere of influence in Sizhou is still in Yin, Henan, and although the three counties of Hedong Hongnong in Hanoi also account for a part, most of them are in the hands of the other two parties.
Wang Mang's allied army of the southern princes divided 14 counties including Jiangyi and Linfen in Hedong, as well as 13 counties including Huai County in Hanoi, a total of 27 counties.
Since the entire coalition army was formed by Wang Mang, Wang Shichong's Shangdang army must have taken the lion's share, and although the other three princes in the south were dissatisfied with this, they had Qin Hao, the great enemy, in front, so they could only endure it silently.
As for the land of 6 counties such as Hongnong County Administration, as well as Hanoi Jiancheng Yewang City, a total of 6 counties, it is still firmly grasped by Yuwen Chengdu with 40,000 Liang troops.
The Qin army, the southern coalition army, and the Liang army, these three forces occupied the Sizhou side and completely divided Sizhou into three, like the three-legged trend of Wei, Shu and Wu.
Qin Hao has an elite army of 130,000, and he is like a cloud, and his overall strength is the strongest.
Wang Mang temporarily has 100,000 troops and the southern princes, but he is expanding the army, while Yuwen Chengdu has more than 40,000 Liang troops in his hands.
Whether it is the coalition army of the southern princes or the Liang army, it is not the opponent of the Qin army alone, and it can only be contended with by uniting.
Not long ago, the princes of the Southern Union were still members of the Dong Alliance, so although the Southern Alliance Army and the Liang Army did not care about anyone, they actually had a very 'tacit understanding'.
It was under the tacit understanding of these two parties, coupled with the fact that the previous situation was not clear, so Qin Hao endured not to fight, and has always focused on grabbing territory.
But as the fog in Sizhou gradually lifted, Wang Mang was finally exposed to the sun, and the princes who had been paying attention to the war situation in Sizhou knew that it was this guy who was secretly playing tricks.
As Wang Shichong's younger brother, Wang Mang has always been unrenowned, but now in such a short period of time, he has lobbied all forces to form a coalition army, and even temporarily disintegrated the ambition of Qin Hao, the leader of the coalition army, to occupy Sizhou.
This one thing alone is enough to make Wang Mang famous all over the world.
Wang Mang's vertical and horizontal technique made almost all the princes applaud, and it was impossible to do it without top-level strategy and overall situation.
Therefore, the princes all thought that Wang Mang was a great talent without being a national warrior, and at the same time, they were also relieved that Qin Hao failed to occupy Sizhou.
After Qin Hao occupies Sizhou, the two armies of Qin and Jin will definitely be merged into one, and Qin Hao will be the first prince worthy of the name, which is a huge threat to the princes of the world.
No prince wants to see the birth of the second Dong Zhuo, so Wang Mang preventing Qin Hao from occupying Sizhou is tantamount to helping all the princes in the world, of course, they will never admit it.
Most of the princes hoped that Wang Mang could stop Qin Hao, but although they recognized Wang Mang's talent, they were not optimistic about what Wang Mang had done.
Qin Hao has not tasted defeat so far, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and the situation that Wang Mang is trying to maintain is not solid, so on the surface, although Sizhou is a three-point situation, Qin Hao can easily completely shatter this situation as long as he uses a little external force.
You must know that the Jin army has not even moved, and once the nearly 200,000 Jin troops in the north go south, the situation that Wang Mang has worked hard to maintain will collapse in an instant.
Just when everyone thought that Qin Hao would transfer the Jin army to the south, the news came that Temujin personally led 200,000 iron horsemen to the south.
Qin Wen learned that 200,000 yuan of Mengtie cavalry was coming, although he had the heart to personally lead the troops, but he had more than enough strength to do so, so he had to make Yang Ye the main general, Wang Meng and Xi Zhicai as military advisors, and Li Dingguo, Luo Yi and others as generals, leading an army of 120,000 to defend the two passes to strictly prevent the invasion of Yuan and Mongolia.
The Jin army had a total of 200,000 troops, of which 50,000 went south to participate in the alliance, and now they are being used under Qin Hao.
And this time, the Jin army dispatched a full 120,000 troops, and the remaining 30,000 needed to guard the huge territory, obviously there was no spare strength to come south to help the battle, and this result made countless people stunned.
No one thinks it's a coincidence, after all, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? They all felt that this was planned by Wang Mang in advance.
After combining all the things before, the princes found out that Wang Mang had planned everything in advance, and did everything in detail, which was extremely scary!
After this incident, Wang Mang has become more unfathomable in the hearts of all the princes, and if he has plans to change the court in the future, there will definitely be many princes who will praise him as a guest.
Of course, there are also many people who scolded Wang Mang, after all, Wang Mang clearly colluded with Yuanmeng this time.
colluding with foreign races, Wang Mang didn't dare to carry such a big infamy, so even if everyone in the world thought so, he would not admit it if he was killed.
Temujin would certainly not be bored enough to take the initiative to demolish him, and as long as Wang Mang did not admit it, in the absence of evidence to carry out the stone hammer, this matter would sooner or later be forgotten by the world.
————————
Luoyang, Qin Hao has not received a single piece of good news since he returned.
"Report ...... Lord Qiyu, Li Yuan led 3,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to ravage the Nanxiang army, Lord Jia Xu and His Majesty were hindered by it, and they could not go north to Luoyang for the time being. ”
The main reason why Li Yuan's only 3,000 cavalry was able to run rampant in Wuxiang was that Qin Hao transferred all the cavalry away, so that even Zhang Liao had to mobilize the 500 cavalry of the Women's Army.
The soldiers of the Qin army are all proud to marry the women's army, so these five thousand women's troops are also the treasures of the Qin army, and they will not fight easily under normal circumstances, but this does not mean that the women's army's combat strength is weak.
Qin Hao naturally knows the combat effectiveness of the Women's Army very well, because of his wife Mu Guiying, the five thousand female soldiers of the Women's Army have the best equipment of the Qin Army, such as battle armor, strong crossbows, horizontal knives, Mo knives, and war horses...... All kinds of equipment are readily available.
In addition, although the women's army only has 5,000 horses, it has many types of troops, such as cavalry, sword and shield hands, Mo knife hands, pikemen, crossbowmen, etc., and the combat power is no worse than some ace battalions.
Therefore, after learning that the Women's Army had been dispatched, Qin Hao was relieved about the war in the rear.
The women's army is not only cavalry, but also equipped with a lot of strong crossbows and bows and arrows, and all kinds of training in archery occupy almost half of the daily training of the women's army, so every female warrior of the women's army is the best archers and crossbowmen.
Li Yuan relied on the mobility advantage of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, although he got rid of Zhang Liao's 20,000 soldiers and horses several times of encirclement and suppression, but with the addition of Arthur's 5,000 Lady Army, it was doomed that the fate of these 3,000 Iron Cavalry would be extremely miserable.
