Chapter 478: The Seizure of the Lords
Chapter 477: Dividing the princes
Although the Yellow Turban now occupies most of the six states in Kanto, its overall strength is unprecedentedly weak. However, the war soldiers are less than 200,000, which are all the remaining ones Zhang Jiao has chosen before.
Therefore, if Liu Hong is determined to send troops, weakening the princes is still the second step, and regaining the land is the most important thing.
After all, if the Yellow Turbans recover, it will not be so easy to recover.
"Is there really no food and supplies to support the army for a month?" Liu Hong asked unwillingly.
Liu Hong is really unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.
In his opinion, the millions of Yellow Turban troops have been defeated, and the remaining elderly, weak, sick and disabled will definitely surrender when they see the Han army''s conquest, so one month is enough to sweep across Guandong.
Facts have proved that Liu Hong took it for granted. What can he do in one month?
If you march from Luoyang and do nothing, you can only walk to Chenliu.
In addition, even if the Yellow Turbans are not strong enough in combat, they are on the defensive side after all.
If you can''t defend it forever, how many cities can the Han army capture in a month?
Qin Hao lowered his head and curled his lips disdainfully, and his heart was speechless. Even Liu Hong didn''t understand this kind of military common sense and wanted to be the savior of the great man, which was simply a dream.
Wang Yun and others could only answer Liu Hong’s question truthfully, after all, they could not convert food.
Liu Hong''s face was even more awkward. He had been fighting for power with a noble family before, but now he has finally truly taken power, but he found that it is much more difficult to helm a country than he thought.
The people may not have scolded them wrongly, I may be really a fool, right? Liu Hong said mockingly in his heart.
At this moment, Yuan Feng stood up and said loudly: "Who said there is no food? Isn''t Nanyang ready-made?"
Liu Hong''s eyes suddenly lit up. Xiang Yu of the Han Dynasty slaughtered Nanyang and robbed a large amount of money and grain. After Qin Hao defeated Xiang Yu, this part of the money and grain fell into the hands of the Han army, so it can naturally be used as military rations.
Qin Hao knew that he could not be silent anymore, so he stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, all the food in Nanyang has been used by me to provide disaster relief."
In the battle of the Han River, 400,000 Yellow Turbans were buried in the water disaster, and more than 2 million people in Jingyu were affected.
As the profit-making party, the great man will definitely attract most of the scolding, and as a scheming player, Qin Hao will be drowned even if the firepower he attracts is slightly smaller, it will be enough to be drowned.
That''s why Qin Hao consumed a lot of food and grass to provide disaster relief, because if he didn''t remedy it, he wouldn''t have any good reputation in the future. I''m afraid the butcher''s infamy wouldn''t be able to get rid of it.
Qin Hao stood from his own perspective and used his own seizure to help the victims, which was understandable, but this was not a good thing for the great man. After all, the great man no longer had any reputation.
Liu Hong was stunned after hearing this, feeling disappointed and helpless, and didn''t know what to say for a long time.
A sneer flashed across Yuan Feng''s lips, pointed at Qin Hao and shouted, "Bold Qin Hao, who gave you the courage to cross the court to order without authorization?"
The reason why Yuan Feng took the opportunity to attack was naturally because he wanted to use this to suppress Qin Hao''s arrogance. Qin Hao is too sharp now.
Qin Hao doesn''t care about this, and he also thinks it''s not good to be too high-profile. It''s time to keep a low profile, but his failure to say does not mean that Qin Wen will remain indifferent.
"Hmph." Qin Wen snorted coldly and said coldly: "May I ask Lord Yuan, what''s wrong with my son releasing food to save disasters at the beginning?"
"The only disaster victims are just obsessed with the disaster, so how can they be eliminated? The court has suffered from the lack of food to send troops, but Qin Hao is helping the disaster at this time. Isn''t this causing trouble?"
Yuan Feng said slowly, not caring about the lives and deaths of the people.
Before Qin Wen could refute, Ding Yuan stood up and asked bluntly: "I dare to ask Lord Yuan, Sizhou can provide disaster relief if it is affected by disaster. Why can''t Jingzhou provide disaster relief if it is affected by disaster? Are the people of our Jingzhou not the people of great men?"
"Uh, this..." Dong Zhuo also stood up leisurely at this time and said lightly: "Why does Lord Yuan say so uncomfortable? You must know that if Nephew Qin Xian turned the tide, there would be no victory in the future. This mistake would mean to erase all the contributions of Nephew Qin Xian. Lord Yuan, this is probably not good."
Ding Yuan would speak for Qin Hao because he was the governor of Jingzhou, and Jingzhou benefited from disaster relief, so how could he watch Qin Hao be slandered?
As for Dong Zhuo, it was because both families were Kansai factions, and the Kanto family began to become arrogant again after the Yellow Turban defeat. As a weak Kansai faction, it was naturally necessary to unite.
After Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, Liu Yu, Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others also stood up to defend Qin Hao.
Seeing that most of the imperial court was standing on Qin Hao''s side, he suddenly got into the hornet''s nest, Yuan Feng''s face suddenly turned ashen.
Qin Hao, who was watching coldly, said at this time: "The disaster in Jingyu was so serious that he didn''t have time to ask for instructions. This is indeed Qin Hao''s fault. Please punish His Majesty."
Regarding Qin Hao''s unpride and impatient performance, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Forget it, compared with the contribution made by the virtuous son-in-law this time, what does this small mistake count? There is no need for punishment."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Now that things have come to this point, Liu Hong cannot order Nanyang to stop disaster relief, but he is really unwilling to give up the troops, so he thought of a bad idea again... selling titles to collect grain.
Now Liu Hong dares not sell his official positions any more, but his titles are different. After all, this one has no real power, it is just a reputation.
In this way, Liu Hong used this method of killing chickens and retrieving eggs to really raise some military rations, but he was stunned when he was about to send troops.
"Report... Report to Your Majesty, the Qiang tribe in Liangzhou rebelled again, and a hundred thousand troops were heading towards Chang''an..."
"Report... The Xiongnu Khan Temujin led 200,000 troops and detained Yanmen Pass..."
"Report... The Xianbei army invaded Youzhou..."
"Report... the 100,000 troops of Wuhuan invaded Liaodong..."
For a time, the foreign races in the northern border of the Han Dynasty rebelled together, and this momentum was still above the Yellow Turban Rebellion soldiers a year ago.
After all, everyone knows that the combat power of the alien race is not at the same level compared to that of the Yellow Turbans.
"These unfamiliar wolf cubs..." Liu Hong cursed angrily with gritted teeth.
Now that the four invaders are invading, it is obviously impossible to continue to send troops to the Yellow Turbans. The most important thing is to keep the border alive.
So Liu Hong issued several imperial edicts in succession, with the following contents:
Qin Wen was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, the general of the Northern Expedition, and the Marquis of Jin;
Dong Zhuo was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, the general of the Western Expedition, and the marquis of Liang;
Liu Yu was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, General of the East, and Marquis of Yan;
Huangfu Song was appointed as the governor of Jizhou, the general of the expedition to the south, and the marquis of Zhao;
Liu Yao was named the governor of Yangzhou, the general of Zhendong, and the Marquis of Danyang;
Liu Yan was named the governor of Yizhou, the general of Zhenxi, and the marquis of Hanzhong;
Feng Ding Yuan was the governor of Jingzhou, the general of Zhenbei, and the Marquis of Xiangyang:
Liu Dai was named the governor of Jiaozhou, the general of Zhennan, and the Marquis of Jiaozhi!
