Chapter 366 Cao Cao and Sun Jian
Chapter 365: Cao Cao and Sun Jian
Hulao Pass, this powerful pass that has been standing for thousands of years, was not defeated by Zhang Jiao''s hundreds of thousands of troops, but was destroyed in Qin Wen''s hands.
The reason why Qin Wen did this was actually a helpless move. If he had been shut down, how could he withdraw safely under Zhang Jiaohu''s claws?
Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Qin Wen used this level of danger to block Zhang Jiao''s army of hundreds of thousands of troops outside the pass. No one would be willing to destroy such a powerful fortress easily.
But if Hulao Pass is in the hands of the Yellow Turban, it will be difficult to recapture the huge gold force in the future, so it is better to burn it now.
Although Qin Wen burned Hulao Pass, he did not burn Dagu Pass.
Of course, it was not that Qin Wen did not want to burn it, but that after burning a huge Hulao Pass, Qin Wen found that there were not enough materials to cause the fire.
In desperation, Qin Wen had to destroy Dagu Pass, all the defending equipment, and then with the troops who broke the rear retreated back to Luoyang.
Before Qin Hao left, there were nearly 95,000 defenders at Hulao Pass, but this time Qin Wen withdrew with 70,000 to 50 million troops.
It can be seen that after Qin Hao led his troops to leave, the battle situation at Hulao Pass was still fierce, and nearly 20,000 people died in the defense.
When Yuan Shao was defending Xiaopingjin, he had 50,000 elite troops and 50,000 new soldiers, totaling 100,000 defenders.
But until Xiaopingjin was captured, Yuan Shao only lasted for more than a month, and only more than 30,000 elite soldiers were actually withdrawn, and the other 70,000 defenders either died in battle or surrendered.
Yuan Shao and Qin Wen, one was broken through the pass and fled back in a hurry with the remaining troops; the other was a heavy blow to the enemy, and after voluntarily giving up defense, he took the main force to retreat calmly.
Comparing the two in one comparison, the gap obviously comes out, and the difference is not a small part.
Luoyang originally had 30,000 Yuan Shao''s troops, and with Qin Wen''s 70,000 army entering, 50,000 Guanzhong and 100,000 Yizhou''s reinforcements, plus Qin Hao''s 35,000 cavalry, Luoyang''s troops are now close to 300,000.
Faced with the Yellow Turban Army, which still has 700,000, the 300,000 Han army may not be enough to make progress, but under the command of Qin Wen, the famous general defending the city, it is still possible to defend Luoyang.
But will the new commander Qin Wen really only fight one defensive battle?
Qin Hao led his army from Xuanyuan Pass, passed Guangcheng Pass and returned to Luoyang, which took less than a day.
After Qin Hao entered the city, the first news he learned was that the flames in Hulao Pass had been extinguished, and the Yellow Turban passed through Hulao and received Dagu Pass.
What does this information mean?
It means that after the four passes in the east and northeast are lost, the Yellow Turban Army in the entire Yanzhou can enter Sili at will, and Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu will also join the army.
When Qin Hao thought that the Yellow Turban was a full 700,000 new force alone, he felt under great pressure. Now he could only place his hope on Guiguzi''s plan.
Otherwise. Once the Yellow Turbans capture the world, if the world is in chaos after Zhang Jiao''s death, even if Qin Hao finally unifies, he will only get a broken ending.
As soon as he returned to Luoyang, Qin Hao found that Luoyang is different from before, and the entire Luoyang city was filled with sadness.
But thinking about it, there were 100,000 people who died in the Battle of the Yellow River, and 150,000 people who were massacred by Xiang Yu, most of them were from Luoyang.
Xiang Yu killed nearly half of Luoyang''s strongest people in the battle, and most of the families in Luoyang either lost their son or their husbands. It can be imagined that the people of Luoyang were simply eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Qin Wen also discovered this, so he decided to use the hatred in the hearts of the people of Luoyang to fully mobilize the people to help him defend the city. He was preparing to fight a people''s war in Luoyang that he was best at.
After the Yellow Turbans drove to Luoyang, the senior officials of the Yellow Turban Army would find that no matter where they attacked, the scene of people cheering and actively killing officials and exchanging the city could no longer be seen.
What awaits them will be the anger of the people they think they are fighting for.
After returning to Luoyang, Qin Hao did not have any rest and then ushered in a pre-war meeting.
The initiator of the meeting was naturally the head coach of this battle, Qin Hao''s father Qin Wen.
There were basically old faces on the conference venue. After experiencing such a fierce battle, no one of the princes in the original history died. Qin Hao didn''t know whether they should say that they were greedy for life or were stubborn in their vitality.
But there are still a few who really want to talk about new faces, but the only one that impressed Qin Hao was Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong.
As the father of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong and Sun Shangxiang, Sun Jian is undoubtedly a middle-aged handsome guy, and he is no less than Qin Wen.
Facing his superiors who are much higher than their official positions, Sun Jian is not afraid at all. His attitude is not only neither humble nor arrogant, but also can talk freely, fully express his views in front of the generals and show his presence.
"Test the five dimensions of Sun Jian." Qin Hao ordered.
"Sun Jian has reached its peak at present, and the current five-dimensionality is: commander 94, force 96, intelligence 75, politics 69, charm 95."
Qin Hao nodded. The specific value of Sun Jian''s attribute was similar to what Qin Hao thought.
Looking at Cao Cao who took over Sun Jian’s topic and continued to speak, Qin Hao ordered again: “Continue to test Cao Cao’s five-dimensionality.”
"Cao Cao''s peak five-dimensionality: commander 98, force 84, intelligence 98, politics 100, charm 98. Cao Cao has not reached the peak at present, and the current five-dimensionality: commander 93, force 80, intelligence 94, politics 96, charm 95."
"Old Cao is Old Cao. These five dimensions are worthy of it. They are capable ministers in governing the world and traitors in troubled times. This evaluation." Qin Hao said in his heart, and then continued to order: "Don''t stop, continue to test Yuan Shao."
"Yuan Shao has reached its peak at present, five dimensions: commander 84, force 83, intelligence 85, politics 92, charm 96."
Qin Hao shook his head and sighed, "When Xiaopingjin fight, Yuan Shao lost unjustly. The peak commander is only 85, so how can he be the opponent of Xiang Yu, who is 98 in the basic commander and has the ability to bless the commander."
After winning such a big decisive battle, Qin Hao estimated that Xiang Yu''s fifth dimension should reach its peak anyway.
Xiang Yu''s peak commander was 98. With the blessing of skilled army and infantry commander +4, Xiang Yu''s commander directly exceeded 100.
Faced with Xiang Yu, who commanded 102, Yuan Shao not only persisted for more than a month, but also brought back more than 30,000 troops, which is already considered amazing.
"Continue to detect Yuan Shu''s five-dimensionality."
Speaking of Yuan Shu, Qin Hao had a conflict with him on the streets of Luoyang before. At that time, the angry Qin Hao looked down on Yuan Shu at all, so he did not detect his fifth dimension.
Now that I think about it, Qin Hao found that he was also a little inflated. Yuan Shu was a lord, so how could he underestimate him just because he saw it?
