Chapter 718 Borrowing the power of the princes
Chapter 716: Borrowing the power of the princes
With Qin Hao''s 130,000 elite troops alone, even if he could forcibly capture Sizhou with 100,000 defenders, he would definitely be both defeated in the end.
So the Northern Expedition was completely blocked before it even started.
A hint of unwillingness flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Can you only wait for Dong Zhuo to call him?"
Liu Bowen smiled indifferently and said, "Lord, don''t worry so much. Once Dong Zhuo wields the emperor to command the princes, then it will not only be our family who are threatened, but all the princes in the world. As long as the lord takes the banner of resisting Dong Zhuo, the princes in the world will fully support the lord."
Qin Hao''s eyes suddenly lit up and he thought to himself, "Yes, at worst, you can take the lead and come again to challenge Dong."
Liu Bowen''s idea was still a little conservative. He only thought that the princes of the world would support Qin Hao, but he did not expect that the princes of the world would join forces to attack.
After all, Liu Bowen is not a god, so how could he know that after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he actually committed a series of murderous incidents that were angry and resentful.
The deposed young emperor established a new emperor, stayed overnight in the palace, sleeped with the palace maid, sleeping with the princess, sleeping with the imperial concubine, sleeping with the empress dowager, killing the ministers, killing the people, killing the deposed emperor and the empress dowager... From then on, Dong Zhuo completely embarked on the path of no return of the devil king.
Not only Liu Bowen could not imagine it, but even Qin Hao could not understand it. After all, Dong Zhuo in his impression was not stupid at all. It was impossible for him to be so obvious and he could have committed suicide?
Powerful ministers will leave a fig leaf for themselves, but so many death-taking incidents are united together, but throwing this fig leaf away is equivalent to telling the people of the world that I want to rebel and change the dynasty. Who can do anything about me?
Originally, Dong Zhuo still had hope of becoming a minister of revival, but it was after all these incidents that Dong Zhuo''s reputation became completely bad. In addition, he did threaten the princes in the world, which led to the confrontation of the eighteen princes.
Qin Hao didn''t know if Dong Zhuo would be like in the original history, or if there was any hidden secret in the original history, but as long as Dong Zhuo dared to reach out to his territory, Qin Hao would not mind forming an alliance to challenge Dong.
Dong Zhuo''s power is already great enough. If it continues to grow, it will definitely cause fear from the other princes.
Let’s not talk about the far away for now, let’s talk about the nearest ones first. The major princes of Bing, Yan, Yu and Jizhou will definitely join the coalition of princes. After all, they are all under Dong Zhuo’s nose, so the alliance is facing the general trend.
Suddenly, a bold idea flashed in Qin Hao''s mind, that is: use the power of the princes to defeat Dong Zhuo and conquer Sizhou in one fell swoop.
Liu Bowen didn''t know his lord yet, and he even had the idea of ??forming a coalition army. He continued:
"The lord can first sign an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with the surrounding princes. Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Ding Yuan are all candidates who can form alliances. Once Dong Zhuo invades, he can also request some reinforcements as support."
Qin Hao nodded. If an alliance is formed now, if the alliance seeks the director in the future, at least these allies will definitely join.
"Wenruo, if you lobby all the princes and make alliances, you will be entrusted to you with all your power."
Xun Yu smiled indifferently and nodded, "Oh."
Seeing this, Liu Bowen continued, "Of course, these are passive actions. If you want to turn passive into initiative, the lord should still find a solution from the fundamental way, and the best way is to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing.
After Your Majesty''s death, if Dong Zhuo forcibly enters the capital, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of General He Jin. He Jin will definitely attract external forces to help him now, and the lord can help him.
As long as Dong Zhuo can be defeated, He Jin will definitely eliminate Dong Zhuo''s power in Sizhou, and the lord can volunteer to attack and occupy Sizhou in two ways. ”
Qin Hao frowned again when he heard this. Although the risk of this plan was great, the benefits were also great.
Dong Zhuo''s power has surrounded Guanzhong from three aspects. If Qin Hao cannot defeat Dong Zhuo in the short term, he will definitely face the risk of being fully surrounded. Once successful, Qin Hao will obtain the land of one prefecture and four counties in Sizhou.
"If you seek wealth and honor in danger, you can''t achieve great things if you are so timid."
A cold light flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes, and he had decided to try his best to stop Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing. If he really couldn''t stop it, he would form a coalition force to attack Dong and capture Sizhou.
"Report...there is a major news coming from Chang''an, and His Majesty fell ill."
Qin Hao stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with shock and understanding.
Sure enough, is history going to return to its origin?
Just as everyone was still immersed in the news that Liu Hong was seriously ill, Qin Hao decisively ordered:
"The order was sent to Bai Qi to lead five thousand troops to defend against Yang Jian in the north, Yue Fei led five thousand troops to defend against Li Shimin in the west, Xue Rengui led five thousand troops to defend against Yuan Shu in the east, and Su Dingfang led five thousand troops to Xinye to defend against Dingyuan in the south."
The princes in various places are expanding their troops to prepare for war, and the specific military expansion figures are military secrets, and no one will take the initiative to expose their strength.
Although Qin Hao expanded his army of 100,000 at one time, he only had one county, and it was reasonable to expand his army of 50,000.
Qin Hao only added five thousand troops to each side. The purpose of course was to show that the enemy was weak, so that Dong Zhuo could be confused and gave him the illusion that Qin Hao had expanded his army and was still within the control range.
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. After a short rest, he would go south again.
As for Liu Mu, he has been in the Nanyang Academy in recent days. He didn''t know what kind of knowledge he was doing with Cai Yan, so he didn''t meet Zhang Sheng, which also made Qin Hao feel relieved.
"This is the new chef from the house. He made it for you alone, and it is all the food you love."
Qin Hao pointed to the table full of delicacies and smiled and said, "Come and try it. We have not had a meal together for many years."
Zhang Sheng said without thinking, "It''s five years, six months and thirteen days."
Qin Hao was stunned. She remembered so clearly before she could do it. Then she smiled and said, "Then do you remember how long we have known each other?"
“Nine years.”
Qin Hao shook his head and smiled and said, "No."
“It’s only nine years.”
Nine years ago, Qin Hao was ten years old and she was eleven. It was then that Qin Hao and Guiguzi saved her. Her fate has changed drastically since then. How could she remember this wrongly?
"It''s 3,289 days, 21 hours, 54 seconds." Qin Hao said seriously.
Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes and said coquettishly: "No serious."
"It''s lively and lively."
Qin Hao touched his nose awkwardly, then smiled and said, "Okay, eat it quickly, the food will be no longer delicious when it is cold."
Zhang Sheng shook his head helplessly, grabbed a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. Soon after, his complexion changed instantly.
"Is this really tofu?" Zhang Sheng said in disbelief.
