Chapter 788: Alliance for Discussion on the Dong (Part 2)
Xun Yan''s mission this time, Cao Cao returned in just ten days, and Cao Cao readily agreed to the request to set up the alliance in Yanzhou, with almost no twists and turns in the middle.
After getting Cao Cao over, the alliance naturally became simple. You just need to notify the locations of the alliances of all the princes, and then everyone will go there together.
At this time, the number of princes who had issued a document to Qin Hao and had already reached eighteen who had agreed to join the alliance, and this was definitely not the final number.
This time, the Dongdong Alliance is destined to be a feast for the gathering of heroes, and just before he was about to lead the army to Yanzhou, Qin Hao''s attention had to be focused on another matter.
"It has been more than half a month. If Wang Yue and Liu Bian escaped the pursuit, they should have arrived in Nanyang long ago, but Liu Bian did not come to surrender to my brother-in-law. It seems that their target to go south is not me."
As soon as he thought of this, a sharp look flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes. Liu Bian was indeed dispensable to him, but he didn''t want to see Liu Bian fall into the hands of other princes.
After all, he was an emperor. Liu Bian fell into the hands of any prince, which would be a disaster for those who control the emperor.
In this campaign against Dong, Qin Hao, in addition to occupying Sizhou, his second goal is to recapture Liu Xie.
Qin Hao wanted to replace Dong Zhuo to use the emperor to order the princes, and to use the military achievements made by the princes this time to reorganize and plan the world''s forces.
If Liu Bian is supported again at this time, even if most princes will not agree with Liu Bian, they will definitely separate some of Liu Xie''s expectations, which is something Qin Hao doesn''t want to see.
Although he knew that Liu Bian would hinder his plan, Qin Hao had no choice but to do so.
As one of the three commanders of the Great Who and He, Wang Yue has strong reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance capabilities. If he is determined to avoid Qin Hao, even if all the intelligence personnel under his command are dispatched, he may not be able to catch Wang Yue.
"Forget it, Liu Xie hasn''t gotten it yet. Let''s put Liu Bian''s affairs aside." Qin Hao said in his heart.
As of now, Qin Hao wanted to retake Liu Xie, who was far away in Chang''an, the only way was to defeat Dong Zhuo and attack Chang''an, but Qin Hao knew that this was unrealistic at all.
If the coalition forces of the princes work together, it may be fine. After the Luoyang is captured, the coalition forces will split. Most of the princes will definitely disperse. It is already the limit to conquer Sizhou by Qin Hao and his family alone, and they are unable to overcome Hangu Pass.
It is almost impossible for Qin Hao to forcefully retake Liu Xie in a short period of time, but although the strong ones are not good, Qin Hao can be soft.
As the deepest hidden number one of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei will be Qin Hao’s biggest ace to challenge Dong this time, and the day Liu Xie got it, that is, the time when Emperor One returns.
"Wang Yue, you really chose the Han Dynasty."
A trace of coldness flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes, and he whispered to himself: "Although you are Mu''er''s master, I won''t be lenient."
Suddenly, Qin Hao seemed to remember something, and his eyes moved to the location of Bajun on the map, and said with a faint smile: "So that''s the case. He actually forgot about Liu Bang, but Liu Bang is a little too peaceful in Yizhou, right?"
What Qin Hao didn''t know was that it was not that Liu Bang was too peaceful, but that Yizhou also had strong enemies.
Liu Bang has been developing in Ba County for several years and has become very strong, but Chi You, who easily unified the various ethnic groups of the Southern Barbarians, is even stronger.
Liu Bang was only the prefect of a county, and most of the troops in Yizhou were still in the hands of Liu Yan, but Liu Yan and Chi You were defeated repeatedly after the battle.
When Liu Yan was invincible, he finally remembered Liu Bang as his subordinate, but Chi You had already achieved great success at this time. Even Liu Bang was still no match. He had to work with Liu Yan to barely compete. Chiyou dragged Liu Bang to Yizhou so that Liu Bang could not do his best to expand externally, let alone defeating Liu Yan and unifying Yizhou.
Otherwise, with Liu Bang''s nature, he would have kicked Liu Yan away, occupied Yizhou alone, and then marched into the Central Plains.
"Liu Bang''s identity as an illegitimate son has not been exposed yet, so does Liu Bian need to prove his orthodox identity?"
Qin Hao''s eyes were full of thought, and then he shook his head and said, "No, it''s just an orthodox status. It''s definitely not difficult for Liu Bang. Liu Bang must have other plans."
Although Qin Hao didn''t know what Liu Bang was planning, Liu Bang would not pose a threat to him in the short term, so he can temporarily let Liu Bang and Liu Bian go. After all, the most important thing for Ziner in the future is to defeat Dong Zhuo.
The main force of the coalition forces in this time to attack Hulao Pass must be attacked from the east, but Qin Hao''s purpose is to occupy all the four counties of Sizhou, so the three gates of Yique, Xuanyuan and Guangcheng in the south of Sizhou must not be spared.
"After passing the order, Bai Qi was appointed as the main general and Qin Wu was the deputy general, leading 60,000 troops to be nailed to Guangcheng Pass, waiting for the order of this marquis, and ready to attack Guangcheng Pass at any time."
Yique, Xuanyuan and Guangcheng passes to guard Sizhou in a triangular manner. If you want to attack Sizhou from Nanyang to the north, you must break two passes in a row.
Guangcheng Pass is the first level. Only by breaking Guangcheng can you attack Yique Pass. Xuanyuan Pass is in the east and south of Yique Pass. If you breaking Xuanyuan Pass, you can also attack Yique Pass.
In terms of siege and encroaching cities, no one in the Qin army can compare with Bai Qi, so it is safest to hand over the commander of the Southern Army to Bai Qi.
Qin Hao distributed 60,000 out of the 120,000 elite troops to Bai Qi, and he himself prepared to lead another 60,000 troops to the alliance, including the 20,000 elite battalion that had been replenished and another 40,000 veterans.
Except for Qin Hao, no one among the princes will dispatch an army of 60,000, and even the host Cao Cao will not do it. After all, they all need to leave enough troops to defend other princes and ensure their own safety first.
In addition, the Jin army would also send troops to join the alliance, and Qin and Jin were originally one family, which means that the Qin and Jin coalition forces were all under the command of Qin Hao.
Qin Hao has the most military forces among the princes, and his reputation is the highest, and his identity is also the most suitable. Therefore, Qin Hao is bound to win the position of leader this time.
The next day, the army swore an oath.
Qin Hao stood on the high tower, looking at the generals Li Cunxiao, Jiang Song and other generals below, and the 60,000 troops standing neatly and motionless behind them, his heart was full of pride. They were all their soldiers.
"The sixty thousand army has been assembled, and we can set off just by waiting for the lord''s order."
Qin Hao nodded, pulled out the Tianwen on his waist, and shouted: "I will not stop the army until I defeat the Dong thief."
"I will never stop the army until I defeat the Dong thief..."
The sixty thousand army stood up and roared, the sound was like the sea, shocking the earth, and the army was as powerful as the rainbow.
"Set off."
With Qin Hao''s order, 60,000 Qin troops embarked on the journey. This time their target was the overlord of the princes, Dong Zhuo.
