Chapter 1178: Huo Qubing attacks Zhu County
Zhenbei Pass fell, and 300,000 yuan of Mongolian Iron Cavalry went south, and Hetao was in danger.
Among the generals summoned by Qin Hao this time, although Li Jing and Meng Tian joined the Jin army, they could not achieve the final victory, and Qin Hao would not put all hope on them.
Rescue Hetao as soon as possible, unify the ranks, and then rush to Hetao to completely expel Yuan Meng from the country. This is what Qin Hao most urgently wants to do.
Previously, when Wang Mang and Yang Lin joined forces, Qin Hao was afraid of turning Sizhou into scorched earth, so he considered it from the most secure perspective when it comes to unifying Sizhou.
Now that Yang Lin is dead, Yuwen Chengdu surrenders, and the coalition of the Southern princes has already appeared alone.
All the adverse conditions have been discharged. Qin Hao has lost so many of his previous concerns, so he naturally has to solve Wang Mang as soon as possible, unify the two states, and then go to help Hetao.
150,000 Bingzhou princes coalition forces, although the Qin army suffered repeated setbacks in the battle, and the number of generals has been lost to more than 50,000, but under Wang Mang''s forced expansion, it has recovered to 130,000.
The forces that the Qin army can use to deal with the Southern Alliance are: Su Lieutenant''s army 25,000, Xue Rengui''s army 15,000, and Bai Qi''s army 65,000, totaling more than 105,000.
The military strength of the Southern Army is still above the Qin army, but its combat power is far inferior to that of the Qin army.
Previously, Su Lie and Xue Rengui had already fought a 130,000 coalition army with a 50,000 army, and the Qin army can use a total of 100,000 troops, and how could the Southern Alliance be an opponent?
The 100,000 elite Qin army can already push 130,000 to the Southern Alliance, but if Qin Hao wants to go to Hetao as soon as possible, he must solve it in the shortest time.
The combat power of the Southern Alliance is indeed not good, but if you rely on the city to defend, you can still drag the Qin army for several months, but Qin Hao doesn''t want to spend several months with Wang Mang.
If it is really a few months later, even the daylily in Hetao will be cold, so Qin Hao wants to completely solve the problem and merge the Southern Alliance within one month, and to achieve this strategic goal, the current force alone will not work, so the army must be expanded again.
Even if the recruits are recruited, they have no time to train, and they will not be able to form combat power without training. Therefore, Liang army prisoners of war have become a ready-made source of troops, and Yuwen Chengdu is naturally the most suitable candidate for command.
Yuwen Chengdu has a popularity second only to Li Yuanba in the Liang army. He was originally the leader of the Liang army of 40,000, and Yang Lin brought him only 10,000. As long as Yuwen Chengdu is willing, he can underestimate Yang Lin at any time.
Therefore, only Yuwen Chengdu can restore these prisoners of war to their combat effectiveness and reorganize them into an army in the shortest time.
With Yuwen Chengdu''s character and character, it is impossible for him to betray Qin Hao, so Qin Hao could be 100% at ease when he handed over these 40,000 prisoners of war to Yuwen Chengdu.
"General Chengdu, I wonder how long it will take for you to reorganize these 40,000 prisoners of war?" Qin Hao asked.
Yuwen Chengdu pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "Eight days."
In order to rebel for these 40,000 prisoners of war, they had to disrupt the organization and reorganize the organization, and also identify the loyalists of the Liang army. Such a large workload was already very fast, but Qin Hao was not satisfied with it.
"It''s too long, I will only give you five days. Once the time comes, the 40,000 reorganized troops must arrive at the battlefield."
After hearing this, Yuwen Chengdu gritted his teeth and said, "Oh."
Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. He still had to force this person. If he didn''t force him, he would never know where his limit was.
"Now Zhenbei Pass has fallen, and 300,000 yuan has entered Hetao, so we must solve Wang Mang as soon as possible so that we can go to support Hetao in time. For this reason, I, the military advisor and the Grand Governor have discussed a plan to encircle and annihilate the Southern Alliance in the shortest time." At this time, Qin Hao looked at Liu Bowen and Bai Qi below and said, "Grandmaster, let''s explain the plan to march below."
"No."
Under the expectation of the generals, Bai Qi slowly walked to the big map and said, "The Southern Alliance Army still has 130,000 troops in Sizhou. Chen Qingzhi led 30,000 troops in Hedong, Wang Mang led 80,000 troops in Henoi, and the other 20,000 troops were divided into various cities.
If our army wants to completely solve the problem of the Southern Alliance in the shortest time, it must directly attack the enemy''s weaknesses, and the biggest weakness of the Southern Alliance is food and grass. ”
As he said that, Bai Qi pointed to a county town nearest the Yellow River Ferry on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang County is dull on the surface, but according to the exact information, there is a grain warehouse of the Southern Alliance.
Although Yang Jian has stopped aiding Wang Mang’s food and grass, the food and grass he had previously assisted Wang Mang were transported to Zhuxian County through the Yellow River. Although Wang Mang has consumed most of the food and grass in Zhuxian County, Zhuxian still has enough food and grass consumed by the Southern Alliance for a month. ”
"In other words, as long as the county is captured and the grain storage of the Southern Alliance will be reduced by one month?" Ran Min asked excitedly, and the other generals were also very excited.
One month''s grain storage was nothing for the Qin army. Even if it was destroyed, it could be replenished from other places, but it was fatal to the Union Army.
The Gangnan Alliance Army has been short of food since its expansion. After all, the Gangnan County has a very thin foundation, and Wang Mang''s steps are too big, so it is inevitable that he will get an egg.
Wang Mang is also really amazing. This almost unsolvable problem was temporarily alleviated by him with hammer and stick, but it was only relieved and could not fundamentally solve the problem.
After Yang Jian decided to rescue food for Wang Mang, Wang Mang''s life became even more and more difficult. Only by searching the aristocratic families and borrowing food from Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng could he barely make a living.
What Wang Mang hopes most now is that Li Shimin can defeat Yang Jian as soon as possible. Once Yang Jian falls, Li Shimin will provide him with rescue food, and the situation will naturally be much better at that time.
Wang Mang didn''t know that it was. Qin Hao had already set up a final kill for him. He probably wouldn''t be able to wait for Li Shimin''s rescue food again.
Bai Qi had already said this, and the generals could naturally understand that the plan he would naturally attack Zhuxian County, so they asked for a fight from his lord Qin Hao.
"Stop making a noise."
As soon as Qin Hao said this, the generals did not dare to wait for the lord to call him, but they did not expect that the lord would be the one who chose this time.
"Where is Huo Bing (the name of Huo Qubing in this life)?" Qin Hao said in a deep voice.
Huo Qubing never expected that the lord would choose him. After all, he had no record or qualifications. He would probably have to survive for several years if he wanted to lead the army alone, so he was still standing outside the sky at the end of the generals.
When he saw that everyone around him was looking at him, Huo Qubing couldn''t help but feel confused and thought to himself: Why are these people looking at me?
Huo Jun, the younger brother standing behind Huo Qubing, pushed the brother in front of him hard and whispered, "Brother, lord is calling you."
Huo Qubing was shocked when he heard this. After looking up, he happened to meet the lord''s joking look. He immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "The last one is here."
"Huo Bing, I ordered you to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack Zhuxian County. Is there any problem?"
Huo Qubing couldn''t help but grow his mouth when he heard this. He knew that his opportunity had come. He immediately suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said loudly, "I will definitely live up to the lord''s entrustedness."
