Chapter 1210 The Joint Force between Qin and Ming


    Chapter 1208: The Joint Force between Qin and Ming


    After hearing the news that Long Qi withdrew from Shangdang, Bai Qi couldn''t help but frown and then fell into deep thought.


    Long Qi has not many troops in his hands, only 50,000, but it is even more difficult than Wang Mang''s 150,000 coalition forces.


    Wang Mang''s 150,000 and Southern Alliance Army were pieced together, and their cohesion and combat power were far inferior to the 50,000 Ming army.


    In Bai Qi''s view, if Long Qi''s 50,000 Ming army was pulled out with the 150,000 coalition forces and fought a head-on decisive battle, Bai Qi believed that the chance of the Ming army winning was more than 60%, because the comprehensive quality of the soldiers on both sides was not at the same level at all.


    Today, there are only a few troops with higher quality than the Ming army, including the Qin army. After several expansions, the overall quality of the Qin army has declined a lot. If it does not rely on its equipment advantages, it may not be an opponent of the Ming army.


    Therefore, although Long Qi only has 50,000 troops in his hand, if he uses it well, he can use it as a hundred thousand. In addition, Shangdang''s terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Ming army has no reason to spit out the swallowed ones at all.


    Bai Qi really couldn''t figure out why Long retreated, and in the end he could only attribute the reasons why the Qin army was powerful and the Ming army was afraid of war.


    “By the way.”


    Bai Qi suddenly heard an extremely important thing. Wang Mang hoarded a large amount of supplies in Shangdang. There were so many things that Long Qi would definitely not be able to move away with his little force. So he asked quickly: "How did Long Qi deal with the materials stored by Shangdang? Isn''t it all burned, right?"


    If this was replaced by Bai Qi, since it could not be taken away, it would definitely be a burn and would not be cheaper for the enemy. Bai Qi thought that Long and would definitely do this.


    "It must have been burned. Long Qi, who killed the sky, is really a waste of resources." Bai Qi said heartbrokenly.


    Such a huge amount of food and grass can be used well and millions of people. If it is burned like this, even Bai Qi feels extremely sorry.


    "Long Qi did not burn this batch of food and grass, but took away the part that could be taken away, and most of it was given to our army intact."


    "What, didn''t burn?"


    Bai Qi widened his eyes. He even thought he had heard it wrong. After asking again, he realized that Long Qi really didn''t burn food.


    "The Ming army commander Shangdang gave it to our army, and even the food and grass were left behind? This is too strange."


    Bai Qi really couldn''t understand. Long Jie was also a famous general of a generation, so how could he do such a thing as a foe? Wouldn''t he be afraid that Emperor Ming would kill him for the crime of supporting the enemy after he went back?


    Still Long Jie wanted to surrender to the Qin army, so he was not ready to go back at all? But the Long Army obviously had no intention of surrendering to Qin!


    Bai Qi thought about it carefully and found that this time the Ming army went out of the mountain not only did not hinder the Qin army, but also helped the Qin army quite a lot. If the Ming army had not caused trouble in the rear of the coalition forces, the Qin army would never have been able to unify the south like this.


    After reaching this conclusion, Bai Qi was even more puzzled. What was the purpose of Ming Jun’s operation? Is it just to kill Wang Shichong to clean up the portal?


    Not to mention that Bai Qi didn’t understand, even Long Qi couldn’t figure it out, what would his wise and powerful emperor be like this time!


    Long Qi will withdraw from Shangdang, which is naturally the fate of Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming also worried about Long Qi''s feelings, so he wrote a letter of thousands of words to Long Qi to explain his intention to do so.


    Emperor Ming mentioned in his letter that hundreds of thousands of alien cholera Hetao are now, and once the Qin and Jin armies are defeated, it will be a disaster for the entire China.


    Therefore, no matter for the sake of justice or minority, you must not have conflicts with the Qin army at this time.


    In order to allow the Qin army to go north to deal with Yuan Meng without any worries, the newly occupied Shangdang County was also given to the Qin army, and the seized food and grass were regarded as aid to Qin Jin to fight against Yuan Meng. At the end of the letter, Emperor Ming wanted to propose that Long and personally lead the cavalry and join forces with the Qin army to deal with Yuan Meng.


    It has to be said that from the perspective of national justice, Emperor Ming would rather harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty than let Long Qi give up Shangdang, which also made Long Qi admire him from the bottom of his heart.


    His Majesty''s sudden awareness suddenly became so high, which also made Long Qi feel ashamed. At this critical moment of the invasion of foreign races, Long Qi did not want to drag the Qin army down, so he decided to follow the order to withdraw from Bingzhou.


    Emperor Ming issued an order to send the entire Shangdang to the Qin army, but Long Qi was careful. He gave up most of the Shangdang, but he did not give up Huguan.


    In Long Qi''s opinion, the Qin army and the Ming army are ultimately opponents. Even if they can cooperate temporarily for national justice, there will be a battle after repelling the Yuan and Meng. As long as Huguan is in hand, at least the Qin army can be blocked in Bingzhou.


    "Send someone to notify Bai Qi immediately, saying that he would discuss with him in front of Huguan and the two armies would join forces to compete with the alien race." Long Qi ordered.


    Bai Qi and the generals of the Qin army were shocked when they learned that Long Qi was going to send cavalry to Hetao to help the Qin army fight against Yuan Meng together, and Xue Rengui even looked like he was seeing a ghost.


    Xue Rengui and Long Qi were old opponents. When the Han River War broke out in Qin Xiang, Xue Rengui led the side army, otherwise they would have raided the Yellow Turban Army''s food route, while Xiang Yu sent Long Qi to encircle and suppress Xue Rengui. At that time, the two fought no less than ten times, and the two sides won and lost each other.


    With Xue Rengui''s understanding of Long Qi, he did not think that Long Qi had this kind of awareness, so he subconsciously thought that Long Qi was really cheating and tried his best to prevent Bai Qi from going to Huguan in person.


    Xue Rengui''s words also made Bai Qi hesitate, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to meet Long Qi. He would know whether he was cheating or sincere.


    Five days later, Bai Qi brought hundreds of light cavalry to Huguan, and Long Qi came to see Bai Qi alone in order to show his sincerity.


    Bai Qi felt Long Qi''s sincerity, so he was also ready to see Long Qi alone, but was strongly opposed by Xue Rengui.


    "Governor, Long Qi''s strength is not inferior to that of the general. It is too dangerous for you to go there alone. Let the general protect you."


    Bai Qi really couldn''t twist Xue Rengui. Seeing that the generals were persuading each other, he had to let Xue Rengui go with him.


    Xue Rengui was nervous all the way, afraid that Long Qi would suddenly explode. It can be seen that Long Qi only carried a sword, so Xue Rengui gradually let go of his vigilance and took the initiative to apologize to Long Qi.


    "General Long, it was Xue who judged a gentleman with the heart of a villain."


    Xue Rengui bowed and Long Qi raised his hand to help him, and said lightly: "It''s okay, it''s understandable to be cautious."


    Bai Qi asked straight to the point: "General Long is really willing to send troops to help our army fight against Yuan Meng?"


    "It''s not my general, but my Majesty."


    Bai Qi and Xue Rengui were both extremely surprised when they heard this. People all say that women have long hair and short knowledge and small minds, but the broad mind of this empress makes them and men ashamed.
