Chapter 1016 Forgotten


    Chapter 1014: The Forgotten Man


    When Wang Mang thought of the joint attack of the thirty-six princes, who still couldn''t do anything about it, he died silently, and Wang Mang couldn''t help feeling a little complicated.


    In Wang Mang''s imagination, Dong Zhuo, an extremely lustful fat man of more than 200 pounds, came to this glorious era, and Wang Mang realized that Dong Zhuo in his memory was not only not fat, but also a very heroic and strong man, but even had the strength of the top-notch general.


    Dong Zhuo''s rise was not smooth sailing, but he defeated countless opponents before unifying Guanxi. Even heroes like Li Yuan and Yang Jian dared not have any unfair intentions under him.


    Even Qin Hao, who has been cheating, dared not compete with Dong Zhuo in his heyday alone. This shows that Dong Zhuo is the most outstanding hero of this era.


    But such a powerful person has very low descriptions in all historical books, which made Wang Mang understand that historical books can only be used as reference and cannot be believed in them all.


    "Although the governor of Yongzhou is Li Yuan, Yang Jian has seized the opportunity, and Li Yuan may not be able to compete with Yang Jian.


    In the end, no matter who can win, it seems that the Liang army''s internal strife will not be able to escape, and the Liang army will definitely be greatly damaged after that, and I''m afraid there will be no energy to restrain Qin Hao..."


    Thinking of this, Wang Mang couldn''t help but think in his heart that even if he saved the captured territory in his plan, the war between him and Qin Hao would still last for a long time, and it would be impossible to decide the outcome in just one or two years.


    After the expansion of the army, the coalition forces of the princes of the south will reach 150,000. It is impossible to support so many large armies just by the four counties of the south and the shortly captured Hedong and Hanoi.


    Although Qin Hao disclosed high-yield species, before it was fully promoted, food and grass were a problem faced by all princes.


    Therefore, Wang Mang must obtain the food and grass support from the Liang army and other princes to have the capital to continue to fight Qin Hao.


    In addition, if the Liang army was not restrained, Qin Hao could use all his strength to deal with the Southern Alliance. At that time, this temporary pieced-up army would probably be difficult to stop.


    "No, if Liang''s army cannot be seriously damaged, otherwise my chances of winning will probably be very low when facing the Qin army who is doing their best..."


    Thinking of this, Wang Mang couldn''t help but feel anxious. He, an outsider, had no way to interfere in the internal affairs of the Liang Army, but if he was indifferent, he would have to die.


    "If you try to recall, you must have missed something, and there must be other solutions... By the way, Li Shimin."


    Wang Mang racked his brains to meditate for the middle of the night, and finally thought of a person who was forgotten by everyone, that is Li Shimin.


    Li Shimin is Dong Zhuo''s son-in-law and the successor that Dong Zhuo had long been appointed. After the Battle of Luoyang, Li Shimin disappeared, and still does not know whether it is life or death.


    "If Li Shimin could return to Guanzhong in time, the internal strife of the Liang army would probably be quelled..."


    Unlike the uncertainty of the outside world, Wang Mang believed that Li Shimin was definitely not dead. As far as he knew, Li Shimin and Qin Hao were enemies and friends, and even if he died, it would be impossible for him to not be able to find his body.


    Therefore, Wang Mang dared to conclude that Li Shimin was definitely not dead, but was captured alive after the fall of Luoyang, and then was locked up by Qin Hao somewhere in Luoyang.


    As for why Qin Hao did not kill Li Shimin, Wang Mang believes that it must be that Li Shimin is still valuable to Qin Hao.


    "As long as you can successfully save Li Shimin from Qin Hao, you will definitely get Li Shimin''s gratitude, and it will be natural to unite with Liangdi to fight Qin Hao." Wang Mang knew that Li Shimin was also a threat, but his current primary goal was to persevere in the confrontation with Qin Hao. As for what the future is, he can''t consider it now.


    After rescuing Li Shimin, if Li Shimin helps him share the pressure from Qin Hao, Wang Mang''s life will be a little better in the future.


    Thinking of this, Wang Mang''s brows slightly relaxed, but then another big question was placed in front of him. Where was Li Shimin locked up by Qin Hao?


    Wang Mang believed that no one knew the time traveler better than him, and he put himself in Qin Hao''s perspective and repeatedly pushed forward and reverse. He really discovered that there were a few places in Luoyang, which were most likely to be where Li Shimin was detained, but he was not sure, so he could only try his luck.


    "Even if Li Shimin is really locked there, it is impossible for me to break through the blockade and rescue Li Shimin smoothly with the power in my hands."


    Wang Mang''s eyes were full of helplessness. The power in his hand was still too weak, but he immediately said to himself: "It seems that it''s time to get in touch with Baijia. I really didn''t expect that this day would come so quickly."


    ————


    Although the Guandong princes'' coalition was disbanded due to the title of king, and the major princes also returned to their respective homes, it does not mean that they would not pay attention to the war in Sizhou.


    The princes originally thought that Qin Hao occupied Sizhou, which was basically a foregone conclusion, but as Dong Zhuo personally led the army east to Hangu, the entire Sizhou was once again shrouded in a fog.


    Dong Zhuo''s appearance of such a big battle was obviously a bad person, and Qin Hao was also in a manner that he would not give up until Sizhou was vowed. The princes also thought that Qin Hao and Dong Zhuo would definitely fight.


    Later, Dong Zhuo held a meeting in Mianchi, and Dong Zhuo was captured alive by Jia Fu. What is even more surprising is that Qin Hao actually let Dong Zhuo go back.


    And what happened in Sizhou afterwards was so exciting and it was developing in the direction that all the princes could not understand. It was just that you finished singing and we were on the stage.


    I thought that after Dong Zhuo was betrayed, he would inevitably go to war with Qin Hao in furious, but the Liang army inexplicably evacuated Sizhou. Before leaving, the opening of the checkpoints attracted the princes of the south.


    The four princes of the south sent troops to grab territory, which made Sizhou again shrouded in the dark clouds of war. Stumbled into a chaotic and extremely tense situation.


    The princes who were concerned about the situation in Sizhou, Qin Hao, who thought he was used to being domineering, would go directly to war with the coalition forces of the Bingnan princes.


    But unexpectedly, although there was friction between the two sides, they were extremely restrained. Both sides tacitly grasped their own territory, and they have not completely discovered their faces.


    There are four counties in the entire Sizhou, namely the 21 counties in Yin, Henan, 19 counties in Hedong, 18 counties in Henoi, and 9 counties in Hongnong.


    The 21 counties in Henan, including Luoyang, had been completely occupied by Qin Hao before.


    In this operation to seize territory, the Qin army occupied five counties in Hedong, including the capital of Anyi, as well as four counties in Henoi, including Chaoge, and three counties in Hongnong, including Mianchi.


    The Qin army seized 12 counties from three counties, and if we add 21 counties in Yin, Henan, there are currently 33 counties, accounting for nearly half of Sizhou.
