Chapter 769 Dong Zhuo who gave up
Chapter 767: Dong Zhuo who gave up
Nanjun has seventeen counties under its jurisdiction, of which seven were occupied by Qin Hao.
When Liu Xiu led his army north, the three counties near Xiangyang were captured again, so the Qin army currently only had four counties including Xiangyang and Yicheng in Nanjun.
Yicheng is the closest county town to Xiangyang, and it only takes three days after Bai Qi led his troops to return.
Of course, Bai Qi took away only 20,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 prisoners, while 5,000 wounded soldiers were left in Yicheng.
In addition to Bai Qi''s army, all other Qin troops scattered in Nanjun were recalled by Qin Hao.
Sixty thousand Qin troops gathered in Xiangyang. As long as you are not stupid, you can see that the Qin army must have taken major actions.
Some people speculated that Qin Hao concentrated his troops to capture Nanjun, while others thought that Qin Hao was afraid of Bai Qi and withdrawing his troops, but the facts were completely different from what everyone thought.
At the Military and Political Conference, Li Cunxiao said to Qin Hao:
"Lord, although General Bai Qi may have some minor mistakes, you are loyal to you and have never done anything beyond your limits. You cannot believe the one-sided slander of a villain, and just punish him casually..."
Bai Qi, who was standing under Qin Hao''s post, was shocked when he heard what Li Cunxiao said, and covered his face and looked like he was desperate.
Qin Hao was also confused. What the **** is this? Why don’t you understand it?
"Wait, Li Cunxiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Hao immediately interrupted Li Cunxiao and asked, "What kind of slander? What villain? General Bai Qi made great contributions this time, and this marquis was not too late to reward him. Why should he punish him?"
Li Cunxiao was also stunned and said blankly: "Didn''t the lord fall into Liu Xiu''s plan to distract himself, so he gave up the Nanjun that was within his reach?"
Qin Hao was so upset by Li Cunxiao that he said angrily: "In your heart, Li Cunxiao, do I have no such a bright mind?"
“What is that?”
"The reason why you and others were recalled at this time is mainly because Dong Zhuo mobilized heavy troops in Hanzhong, Wuguan and Xuanyuanguan. He could send troops to attack Nanyang at any time. He transferred you back to defend Nanyang."
When he heard this, Li Cunxiao was stunned, and the generals finally realized it.
No wonder the lord gave up Nanjun. It turned out that it was because of Nanyang. Nanyang was the foundation of the Qin army, and even the three Nanjuns were not as good as that, so of course we should give priority to saving Nanyang.
Li Cunxiao pointed at the generals without tears and smiled bitterly: "When you ask me to take the lead in pleading, have you made a premeditation and deliberately wanted to see my joke?"
"No, no..." The generals quickly denied it.
The reason why Li Cunxiao came to plead for mercy was naturally because Li Cunxiao''s lord liked the most. His lord would definitely listen to his words, but he didn''t know that the facts were a bit far from what they thought.
Seeing that everyone was trashing the blame, Li Cunxiao immediately asked Bai Qi, "Bai Qi, do you know what you know, right?"
Bai Qi sighed and nodded softly.
"Then why don''t you tell me in advance? I''m embarrassed in front of my lord." Li Cunxiao said in anger.
"I don''t know you really do this." Bai Qi said helplessly.
"you…"
Li Cunxiao looked aggrieved. If he had known this, he would not have cared about Bai Qi''s other people''s business.
Qin Hao laughed at this scene: "Okay, Li Cunxiao, look at you''re wronged. The great contributions made by the Flying Tiger Camp this time are also heavy casualties. I will compensate you for the priority selection of soldiers and equipment, and the organization will be expanded to three thousand cavalry." Li Cunxiao instantly turned aggrieved and shouted, "Thank you lord."
Looking at Li Cunxiao who changed his face in an instant, the generals were also stunned, thinking that they were all routines.
Qin Hao, who thought he had dealt with Li Cunxiao, turned his attention to Bai Qi and said in a deep voice: "Bai Qi, you defeated the Jingzhou coalition forces in this battle and made great contributions. This marquis named you the Grand Governor of Nanyang and led 30,000 troops to Ye County to set up defenses."
The Grand Commander had the right to lead the army alone, which was the Grand Marshal of later generations.
The Qin army had never had the position of governor before. Although Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Zhang Liao and other generals had led troops alone to fight, their military positions were still a little worse than those of governors.
This time, Bai Qi made such a great contribution, and only the position of governor deserves his achievements, and Bai Qi also became the first governor of the Qin army.
The West of Nanyang must face threats from Wuguan and Hanzhong. Only when Bai Qi guards here can Qin Hao be completely relieved.
Bai Qi was overjoyed, but his face was still calm, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust."
The generals also said in unison: "Greetings to the Grand Commander."
Bai Qi led 30,000 troops to Ye County for repair, while Qin Hao led 20,000 elite troops back to Wancheng, leaving only 10,000 troops and 30,000 prisoners of war in Xiangyang. As for the defending general Qin Hao, there are other arrangements.
What no one knows is that Qin Hao’s main purpose of withdrawing troops this time was not to rescue Nanyang.
Nanyang has 70,000 elite troops, and Yue Fei, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Zhang Liao and other generals guard it. Unless Dong Zhuo exceeds 200,000 troops, it is impossible to capture Nanyang. Before fully integrating Guanxi, Dong Zhuo cannot use 300,000 troops to deal with Qin Hao.
Therefore, the real purpose of Qin Hao''s recall of the army was actually to prepare the heroes to challenge Dong.
Not long ago, Qin Hao received information from the secret spy of the Jinyiwei, saying that Dong Zhuo had done a traitor, not only forced her to sleep with Empress Dowager He, but also stayed overnight in the palace.
After receiving this news, Qin Hao''s first reaction was that Dong Zhuo was crazy. After all, the rumors about Dong Zhuo were indeed spread in rumors, but now it is true.
Dong Zhuo was still restrained before, but under the pressure of the deadly people, Dong Zhuo, who thought he was indifferent, had completely lost his patience and prepared to break the jar. He would directly crush any obstacles or threats in the future.
Haven’t you falsely accused me of sleeping with the empress dowager? Then I will sleep for you to see.
Haven’t you falsely accused me of cholera harem? Then I will show you something randomly.
Anger blinded Dong Zhuo''s eyes. He was venting and revenge. Dong Zhuo''s behavior of completely letting himself go will also put him in a situation where everyone is invincible.
Dong Zhuo finally embarked on the path of a demon king, and it is estimated that the Emperor Killing is not long after, so Qin Hao naturally had to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard when he arrived.
It is indeed a pity to give up Nanjun at this time, but Qin Hao''s purpose of going south to capture Xiangyang and improving the southern defense line has been completed. It is not conducive to the defense of the entire Nanjun, and it will also make the center of the Qin army too south.
In addition, most of the military strength of Jingzhou was destroyed by Bai Qi in this battle, and it was impossible to recover in a short period of time, so it is actually the same for Nanjun to take early and late.
In comparison, it is more important to replace Dong Zhuo and become the new overlord of the princes.
