Chapter 1011 Borrowing Chen Qingzhi as the leader
Chapter 1009: Borrowing Chen Qingzhi as the leader
"Ha ha…"
Temujin suddenly burst into laughter, then looked at Wang Mang with a playful look on his face and said, "Okay, Wang Python, I just talked and wanted to mobilize my 200,000 Iron Cavalry. Do you think there is such a good thing in the world?"
Wang Mang suddenly felt nervous when he heard this. Just as he was about to continue persuasion, Temujin said, "But I promised you."
"Well…"
Wang Mang was stunned when he heard this. After reacting, he suddenly widened his eyes. He thought he had seen through Temujin, but now he realized that Temujin was unfathomable.
Wang Mang left the Yuanmeng Palace in great confusion. He finally failed to understand Temujin''s idea, but his purpose of this trip was finally completed. Temujin agreed to dispatch 200,000 cavalry south to restrain the Jin army.
"With Temujin''s promise to go south, it is even more certain to convince the three princes in the south."
Wang Mang had previously told Temujin that the four princes in the south had already united, and this was actually a framework for Temujin.
Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and Zhang Chao are more afraid of Qin Wen and Qin Hao and his son than Wang Shichong. Without absolute certainty, it is absolutely impossible for them to dare to send troops.
Therefore, only after convinced Temujin, Wang Mang was sure to convince these three people. After all, as a prince, he would definitely not be willing to be annexed.
Wang Mang left happily, but he didn''t know that just when he left Longcheng, Tiemu really watched him leave on the city wall.
At this moment, Zhao Min appeared beside Temuzhen and asked with a puzzled look: "Brother, do you really want to dispatch 200,000 cavalry to help Wang Shichong restrain the Jin army? The consumption of the 200,000 army is quite large."
"It''s just a little consumption, it''s not that I can''t come back, let alone..."
Temujin''s eyes flashed with a gleam and she smiled: "This time the dispatch of troops is just to restrain the Jin army. There is no need to attack the city, there will be no casualties, and it can also cause trouble for Qin Hao. Why should I refuse such a good thing? Besides, the one who is helping me with this time is not Wang Shichong."
"Oh? Can it be this King Python?" Zhao Min asked with some amusement.
“That’s right, it’s him.”
A strange look flashed in Temujin''s eyes and said lightly: "I have a premonition that this king python is not as simple as it seems. He will definitely cause a lot of trouble to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao is my lifelong enemy. As long as I can hit Qin Hao, what''s wrong with me helping him Wang Python once?
Besides, it is easy to ask God to send him away, but it is difficult to take the initiative here. If a suitable fighter opportunity appears, do you think I will remain indifferent? ”
Zhao Min couldn''t help but look thoughtful, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "The emperor''s brother is far-sighted, and Minmin admires it."
Temujin nodded with a smile, and then said, "The Xuan Jingshi under your command will focus on the future collection of information.
The other princes of the Han Dynasty were just sheep, and only Qin Hao was the real dragon and tiger. ”
"No."
After Wang Mang left Longcheng, he returned to Bingnan as quickly as possible and took the initiative to lobby for the three great princes of Zhang Yang, Zhang Chao and Wang Kuang.
Gao Ying had lobbyed these three people once before, but their reaction was the same as Wang Shichong. Even if the huge benefits were placed in front of him, he still did not dare to offend Qin Hao easily.
Wang Mang is naturally different from Gao Ying. He has made sufficient preparations to ensure that all the talents come to seek joint troops.
Zhang Yang, Zhang Chao, and Wang Kuang, these three people are actually not very ambitious. They just want to keep their own land of only three, but they also know that even if they don’t offend Qin Hao, Qin Hao will come to him sooner or later.
Therefore, when they learned that the Mongolian Iron Cavalry of 200,000 yuan would go south and the Jin army would be unable to look south, they all decisively chose to fight.
Send troops to the state, seize territory, expand strength, and protect yourself.
These sixteen words are the main reason why the four princes of Bingnan can unite. It is actually quite sad to say that. After all, they all fought back due to helplessness, but the chaotic world is so cruel and ruthless.
With Wang Mang''s efforts, the four princes of the South quickly reached preliminary cooperation. In the end, the prefect of Shangdang, Wang Shichong, sent 20,000 troops, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangjun, sent 15,000 troops, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Xihe, sent 15,000 troops, and Wang Kuang, the prefect of Shuofang, sent 10,000 troops.
The four princes had a total of 60,000 troops, but on the surface they attacked their own. However, after secretly Wang Mang was the main general, he quickly seized Henoi and Hedong, nearly a quarter of the territory.
Becoming the chief general of the coalition did not make Wang Mang expand. He knew that he had only the capital to initially compete with Qin Hao. It was still far from enough to defeat Qin Hao by relying on the 60,000 coalition that was temporarily formed.
Therefore, Wang Mang decisively ordered the troops to expand their troops while grabbing territory, and at the same time persuaded Wang Shichong and other four princes to appropriately give up some of their interests in order to borrow troops from the princes of Jizhou to help the war.
Jizhou is currently in a melee situation of the four major princes. Among them, the strongest is Qingzhou governor Yuan Shao, followed by Jizhou governor Han Fu, then Qinghe prefect Chen Youliang, and Changshan prefect Zhang Shicheng, the weakest.
Yuan Shao and Han Fu were in a cold war at this time, so naturally they had no energy to divide the troops, while Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were both a little interested.
Wang Shichong had experience of surrendering to the Yellow Turbans, and Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng were both the Yellow Turbans. The three of them surrendered together at the beginning, so the relationship between the three families was better than that of ordinary princes.
Jizhou is a rich and prosperous place. The strength of the princes of Jizhou is naturally much stronger than that of the princes of Bingzhou. Even if they divide up ten thousand troops, it will not cause any trouble. Of course, it is impossible to send troops without any benefit. After all, brothers still settle the score clearly.
In the end, Wang Shichong was in charge and the four southern princes gathered a large amount of "employment fees", which made Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng each dispatch 10,000 troops, and a total of 20,000 Jizhou mercenaries entered Sizhou.
As for the candidates for the generals of this mercenary, Wang Mang named Chen Qingzhi as required. Although Chen Youliang wondered why Wang Mang pointed Chen Qingzhi alone, he did not ask anything more and directly appointed Chen Qingzhi as the main general to lead the army to assist in the war.
In fact, the reason why Wang Mang borrowed troops from outsiders was actually to borrow a commander. He knew very well what he lacked the most.
If we talk about the military forces, the coalition forces of the Southern Princes, plus the mercenaries, there will be 80,000 troops, and after the expansion of the army, it will exceed 100,000. In addition, the 40,000 Liang troops in Yewangcheng will also restrain some of the Qin army, so Wang Mang actually has the advantage in terms of military strength.
As for the generals, Ju Wuba, Liang Lin, Liang Fang and others are here, which is barely enough for the time being.
So for the coalition forces of the Bingnan princes at this time, what they lack most is a commander with outstanding capabilities, who will fully utilize these 80,000 troops.
