Chapter 791 Sour Jujube Alliance (Part 1)


    Chapter 789: Sour Jujube Alliance (Part 1)


    Yanzhou, Chenliu County, and Xuanzao County.


    Shenzao County is located in the west of Chenliu. It is a transportation hub connecting the two states of Yan and Yan. It is also the closest county town to Hulao Pass. Therefore, this time it was arranged by Cao Cao as the place for the princes to meet.


    When the Ming Empire occupied Yanzhou, the Ming Dynasty had already become a poor county with thousands of people. However, because the geographical location of the Ming Dynasty was too important, the Ming Dynasty not only strengthened the city wall defense, but also sent heavy troops to garrison it. Later, Li Bai, the brother of the Ming Dynasty queen, came to manage it personally.


    During his tenure as a jujube, Li Bai almost eliminated all the problems of jujube. After sleeping for a long time, he finally cured jujube, and absorbed tens of thousands of refugees within a year, completely getting rid of the title of a poor county.


    After the decisive battle between Hanming and Ming Dynasty broke out, Lanzao County was the first to be hit. Li Shimin and Xiang Yu fought again several times, which also destroyed Lanzao, which had finally recovered, again in the war.


    In the battle between Han Ming, Han won, and Can Ming fled into the three mountains.


    After Cao Cao was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, he also attached great importance to the important position of jujube and sent general Cao Ren to guard it again. After Cao Cao''s resources were tilted, jujube finally gradually recovered its vitality.


    This time, all the princes gathered together, and hundreds of thousands of troops of coalition troops were numerous, so it was naturally impossible for them to all flow into a small county of Sozao.


    In order to receive all the princes, Cao Cao sent Xun You to make arrangements early, and the company built outside the Sozao County was even enough to accommodate 500,000 troops.


    After Qin Hao led his troops to the Sour Jujube, he realized that he was the first prince to arrive. Even Cao Cao, the host, was still dispatching troops in Chenliu. It is estimated that there is still some time before he can arrive at the Sour Jubebe.


    The person responsible for receiving Qin Hao this time was Cao Ren, the general of Cao army.


    Because of the rebellion between Qin Wen and Cao Cao, the relationship between Qin and Cao families has also become very good, and the exchanges between forces are the most common. Gradually, Yanzhou has become the main commercial exporter of Nanyang.


    Qin Hao had known Cao Ren before. After seeing the person coming, he immediately smiled and said, "General Cao Ren, it''s been a long time since we saw it."


    "The last time I met the Qin Hou, it was the Marquis who killed Xiang Yu at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Today, I saw the Qin Hou more charming than before." Cao Ren said with a smile.


    Qin Hao smiled indifferently and said, "It''s so different from the Marquis. Hao''s wife Xiahou Qingyi is from the Xiahou family, and the Xiahou family and the Cao family are close relatives, and the general is also Hao''s elder, so you can just call me the word "Wu Biao."


    "this…"


    Cao Ren was a little hesitant, and saw that Qin Hao''s expression was not polite, so he agreed with the situation.


    "Okay, Zixu."


    "That''s right."


    Qin Hao smiled and asked, "Marty Wei, no, it''s my San Uncle Cao. How long will it take to reach the sour jujube?"


    "Meng De has gathered all the troops and will definitely arrive in three days."


    "I wonder how many troops will the third uncle dispatch this time?"


    "The common people in Yanzhou are poor and have been harmed by the Ming thieves. They have not been able to recover so far, so Meng De can only mobilize an army of 30,000 at most."


    Qin Hao nodded unconsciously when he heard this. What Cao Ren said was indeed true, and Yanzhou was not Cao Cao alone. In addition to the troops stationed in various places, the 30,000 troops were almost Cao Cao''s limit. Three days later, Cao Cao led an army of 30,000 to the jujube, and the troops of the jujube camp also reached 90,000.


    With Cao Cao''s company, Qin Hao briefly inspected Cao Cao''s 30,000 troops and found that although the equipment of Cao''s army was not as good as that of the Qin army, it was no worse than that of the Qin army in terms of training.


    When Qin Hao accompanied Cao Cao to inspect the Qin army, Cao Cao immediately threw envious eyes at Qin Hao when he saw that the Qin army''s armor was shining and the swords were so strong that it was so many times better than his army''s weapons.


    "Nephew Zixu, I really envy you. Nanyang County can support such an elite army by relying on its own metropolis. It seems that you have really put a lot of effort into the governance of Nanyang."


    Cao Cao’s implication is that Nanyang is really rich, otherwise how could he build so many excellent equipment?


    Qin Hao smiled indifferently and said modestly: "The main reason is that Nanyang County has a good foundation. No one who serves as the prefect of Nanyang will be far from being."


    Cao Cao obviously didn''t believe it and said, "You are so nice to me. Although Nanyang was the largest county in my Han Dynasty, he could not afford to support so many elite troops before, and the tax revenue was far worse than now."


    "Actually, it''s nothing. Over the years, I have been vigorously rectifying Nanyang''s internal affairs and encouraging business development. Oh, by the way, in order to deal with Dong Zhuo, I have just sold all the equipment of a large army and have to be dismissed after retreating."


    Seeing that Qin Hao not only did not take the bait, but was also suffering and poor with him, Cao Cao couldn''t help but sigh in his heart that Qin Hao and Qin Wen and his son were really not like each other.


    Since Cao Cao became a charity with Qin Wen, he has gained a lot of benefits from Qin Wen.


    Let’s not mention anything else, just talk about the war horses of the three thousand tigers and leopards, but Cao Cao bought them half and half as much as he gave them to the Jin army at the lowest favor price.


    War horses were worthless in the Central Plains. Cao Cao could form such an elite cavalry, which was entirely due to the relationship between the two kings and Wens.


    Cao Cao was also addicted to taking advantage. After seeing the Qin army''s equipment, he wanted to buy some equipment by holding Qin Hao, but he didn''t know that Qin Hao pretended to be confused with his understanding. It was simply a seamless egg, which made Cao Cao unable to find the place to leave.


    After the two of them had a while of greeting, Qin Hao was not in the mood to play Tai Chi with Cao Cao, so he said straight to the point: "Uncle San, I hope that this time, you can support me as the leader of the alliance."


    Cao Cao showed surprise and asked, "Brother, can''t he come?"


    The eldest brother Cao Cao mentioned is naturally Qin Wen. If Qin Wen also came to join the alliance, there would be almost no suspense in the position of leader.


    Qin Wen is almost the only remaining general in the Han Dynasty. He is more than enough to be respected and governed, so no one dares to compete with Qin Wen for the leader, and Qin Hao is different.


    Although Qin Hao''s military achievements are the most prominent among the princes, he is still too young after all. Some people will definitely use the excuse of second place to oppose Qin Hao as the leader, so Qin Hao came to find Cao Cao''s support just in case.


    After hearing Cao Cao''s question, a trace of sadness flashed in Qin Hao''s eyes, and he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The father-in-chief fell into the root of his illness in the Battle of Hetao, and he will not be able to lead the army in the future. This time, the fourth uncle came to represent the Jin army."


    "So it''s Brother Qin!"


    Cao Cao looked disappointed and sighed, "This time, the second brother of Sun will come to the alliance. I wanted to take this opportunity. The three of us brothers drank and chatted again. Now it seems impossible. It''s such a pity."


    ?There is still a transition before the war will officially begin. After all, for such a big battle, everything must be explained clearly, so that it will not look empty and more exciting.
