Chapter 871: Regrouping (2)
After Gao Yuan dealt with the official affairs for a paragraph, I saw the soldiers guarding the door come to report, saying that Princess Hehua asked to see him.
Gao Yuan was a little surprised, it turned out that he estimated that Hehua would recover and it would take a day, but it was only more than two hours later, and Hehua was about to see him, there must be something important, so he was also busy asking Hehua to come in.
After a while, I saw that He Hua was dressed in white, his hair was not combed, and he was hanging down from the sides of his cheeks at will, and his face was haggard, and his eyes were puffy, which made people look pity.
Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu immediately got up to greet them, and Li Yinghong said, "Hehua, you're fine, do you want to take a break." ”
He Hua shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I've rested enough, and now is the time to do something." Then he turned to the plateau and said, "What do you need me to do if you want to go according to your plan?" ”
Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "If you want to implement this plan, the first thing is to hold Handan, if Handan can't hold it, no matter how good the plan is, it is useless, and to hold Handan, you need the Han and Qin armies in Handan City to fight side by side, but now although the Qin army's military spirit has stabilized, the morale is generally very low, so you must let the Qin army regain morale, and this can only be done by you." ”
He Hua thought for a while, and then said: "Of course I can boost the morale of the Qin army, but have you ever thought that the Qin army is different from the Han army, the Han army was formed and trained by you, you led them to fight in the south and the north, and fought a lot of victories, so they respect you like a god, no matter how difficult the situation is, they will believe that you will be able to lead them to victory, but the Qin army does not have this confidence in you, and now the Jiuli tribe has controlled the Qin State, and there are two countries of Qi and Chu, and the strength is far above us, how to make them believe that you can lead them to victory; There are also family members of the Han army who are in Lingshou or Daijun, so they have no worries, and the family members of the Qin army are all in the Qin State, in the area controlled by Han Teng, so their morale is not high, and they even have no intention of fighting, which is also human nature, if they are forced too much, it will be counterproductive. ”
After hearing this, Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "You have a point, in fact, not only the soldiers of the Qin army, but also the officials of the Qin State, I am afraid that the mentality should be the same." ”
He Hua said: "Yes. ”
Li Yinghong said: "According to what you say, what should I do?" Is there no way to do it? ”
Gao Yuan said: "Of course there is a way, as long as those who are unwilling to stay in Handan are put back, then the people who are not at ease are gone, and those who stay are naturally those who are willing to follow us." ”
Li Yinghong immediately said: "Then how can we do it, if we let the Qin army go, not only will it weaken our strength, but after the Qin army goes back, what if we join the army of the Jiuli clan and come back to fight us?" ”
Chun Yu Zhongxiu said: "But just forcibly leave them in Handan, it's not a way, although the soldiers of the Qin army stay in Handan, but their hearts are not here, even if they let them fight, they won't contribute, and it will affect other soldiers, in case they turn against each other on the battlefield, it's worse, if so, it's better to let go of the people who don't want to stay in Handan, and there is no loss to our actual strength, but it will reduce a lot of trouble." ”
Hearing Chun Yu Zhongxiu say this, Li Yinghong was also speechless.
At this time, Gao Yuan said: "Then it is decided, early tomorrow morning, we will first gather the ministers of the Qin State and explain to them that those who want to leave Handan can leave Handan at will, and then notify all the Qin troops." ”
He Hua said: "Thank you, Gao Yuan. ”
On the second day, Gao Yuan immediately ordered to gather all the ministers of the Qin State in Handan, and announced in public that if there were people who wanted to leave Handan and return to the Qin State, they could leave at will and would not stop them, but if they stayed, then they would do their best to help them guard Handan.
In fact, there are really many officials of the Qin State who don't want to stay in Handan, because they are originally officials of the Qin State, and when Qin Wangzheng dies, he loses the object of allegiance, whether it is the plateau or Hehua, it can't replace the land of Qin Wangzheng. Originally, it was not voluntary for these officials of the Qin State to stay in Handan, first, it was the last order of the Qin Wangzheng; I also want to wait and see how the situation develops and strive to stand in line; Second, I don't know if Han Teng's attitude will accept him. Therefore, if they can see that Gao Yuan has the possibility of defeating Han Teng, the officials are still willing to stay.
It's just that although the bad news has not been officially announced in the past few days, the officials of the Qin State have more or less some ways, so they can more or less hear some rumors, and then pass them on to each other in private, so that they can know a lot of things, Qi and Chu officially declared war on the Han State, and Wang Ben has chosen to throw himself into Han Teng, these things are not a secret among the officials of the Qin State.
But in this way, anyone can see that in the future battle, the Han State will face the attack of the Qin, Qi and Chu Three Kingdoms Alliance, and the Han State is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage, although the ability to use troops on the plateau is known to the world, but after all, the disparity in strength, the Han State's chances of victory are still not large, and it can even be said that there is no chance of winning at all.
And the news of Wang Ben's defection to Han Teng also made the hearts of many ministers of Qin alive, originally they didn't know Han Teng's attitude towards Han Teng, but also had a layer of psychological obstacles, that is, although there is no evidence to prove that Qin Wangzheng's death was related to Han Teng, but Han Teng took advantage of Xianyang's emptiness and sent troops to control Xianyang, which is definitely a rebellious act, so now Qin Wangzheng's bones are not cold, so he hurriedly defected to Han Teng, which is unreasonable.
But everyone knows that Wang Ben has always been loyal to the Qin State and Qin Wangzheng, but he actually took refuge in Han Teng, of course the officials didn't know that Wang Ben wanted to avenge his father, but they all had a kind of "Since Wang Ben has taken refuge in Han Teng, then it's okay for us to take refuge in Han Teng?" In addition, Wang Ben chose to take refuge in Han Teng, which means that Han Teng will still accept them, maybe this is still a way to live.
However, now Handan has been taken over by the Han army, and it is estimated that the plateau will not let them leave Handan, so they dare not act rashly, but in private, many officials have begun to discuss the way back.
After listening to Gao Yuan's words, the officials of the Qin State were also skeptical, not knowing whether what Gao Yuan said was true or false, whether it was a temptation, so they all expressed their stance lightly at this time, and for a while the hall was silent and no one spoke.
The reaction of the officials of the Qin State was actually expected by Gao Yuan, after all, they were the ministers of the Qin State, and they were the monarchs of the Han State, and it was reasonable for them not to trust themselves.
Therefore, Gao Yuan did not ask them to speak, but led the officials to the wall of the palace, and at this time, on the square in front of the palace, more than 100,000 Qin troops had gathered, and the square was occupied.
Gao Yuan spoke first at the head of the city, and announced that those who were willing to leave Handan could leave, and repeatedly promised that he would never stop him, so that all Qin soldiers could rest assured.
After Gao Yuan finished speaking, it immediately caused a huge reaction among the Qin army, and there was a "buzzing" sound, Qin Bing's thoughts were much simpler than the ministers, what they thought was that they were the army of the Qin army, and their families were all in the territory of Qin, of course, they had no intention of fighting for Han in Handan, and they were enemies of Qin, but Qin's military law was very strict, and the soldiers were used to orders and prohibitions, so no one dared to escape. However, after Gao Yuan announced that "those who want to leave Handan can leave", many soldiers were immediately moved, thinking of leaving Handan immediately and returning to Qin to reunite with their families.
And at this moment, Hehua walked up to the city, and two huge wings of light unfolded behind him, driving Hehua's body, slowly rising from the city, hovering in the air in front of the city.
She was still dressed in white, her hair was not tied up, and she was scattered and fluttering without wind, but her whole body exuded white light, and the two huge wings of light behind her were like a goddess descending into the world.
Although all the Qin soldiers knew that a few years later, Hehua had shown the miracle of incarnating as a Xuanniao in front of nearly 200,000 Qin troops in Handan, and some Qin soldiers knew that when Qin Wangzheng was assassinated a few days ago, Hehua incarnated as a Xuanniao again in the main hall, and forced Tuxingsun to vomit blood and die, but there were not many soldiers who showed miracles in Handan at this time, and a few days ago in the main hall, there were only hundreds of Qin soldiers present. Therefore, the vast majority of Qin soldiers saw Hehua incarnate as a Xuanniao for the first time.
When the soldiers of the Qin army saw it, they immediately stopped whispering, and they all looked up at Hehua hovering in mid-air, their eyes were full of surprise, reverence, and even shame, because many people were still thinking about leaving Handan just now, and now they remembered that the king's bones were not cold, and the princess was still here, so he was going to throw the princess away? And some of the soldiers had already fallen to their knees and bowed to Hehua.
The soldiers who knelt down were almost all the Qin soldiers who saw Hehua incarnate as a Xuanniao in Handan last time, and then there were some soldiers who participated in the battle in the hall a few days ago, of course, their shock power was not as strong as other soldiers, but their reverence for Hehua was far better than that of other soldiers, and they had worshiped Hehua as a god, so at this time, when they saw Hehua show miracles again, they all fell to the ground involuntarily.
And the actions of these soldiers soon infected other soldiers, so the soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, bowing to Hehua, and in a short time, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Qin army in front of the palace all knelt on the ground, and no one stood again.
