Chapter 1238 Qin and Jin met
Chapter 1236: Qin and Jin met
Since Qin Hao returned to Hetao, he has been dealing with the war in Yinchuan. He has not yet gone to reunite with Wang Meng, so naturally he has never met Zhuge Liang.
But when Qin Hao was shocked and surprised when he heard Zhuge Liang appearing next to Wang Meng and his official position was a military advisor to offer wine.
Qin Hao made an appointment with Zhuge Liang at the beginning. After Zhuge Liang finished his travels, if he became an official, he would definitely choose Qin Hao first. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang eventually defected to his father.
Of course, this is no different for Qin Hao. After all, after the unification of the two states of the Sibian state, the Qin and Jin armies will also merge, and Qin Hao will also replace Qin Wen to take charge of the Jin army. Therefore, Zhuge Liang defected to Qin Wen and was to defect to Qin Hao, but he could not be considered a Qin family in the future.
The reason why Zhuge Liang became the military priest of the Jin army was because after Zhuge Liang and his group left Taihang, they were preparing to go directly to Hetao to help Wang Meng. However, when they arrived at the junction of Hetao at Bingzhou, Zhuge Liang discovered that the road to Hetao had long been sealed off and martial law.
After the fall of Zhenbei Pass, the entire Hetao capital, the Jin army was completely isolated, and Zhuge Liang and his group were also discovered and arrested by the Jin army because of their strange whereabouts. They were finally taken to Jinyang due to their strange whereabouts.
After arriving in Taiyuan, Zhuge Liang announced his identity as a disciple of Guigu and immediately received Qin Wen''s enthusiastic reception.
Although Qin Wen had never met Zhuge Liang before, he had seen Guiguzi, so he had his own set of identification methods.
After a simple chat, Qin Wen confirmed the identity of Zhuge Liang''s successor to Guigu, and then invited Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang accidentally joined the Jin army.
Zhuge Liang explained his analysis to Qin Wen and said bluntly that Yang Ye''s death was full of doubts, and there were probably other deep-level arrangements. In order to make the plan more perfect, the new governor Wang Meng deliberately concealed some of Yang Ye''s arrangements.
Qin Wen was surprised and suspicious when he learned about it. Feige sent a letter to ask Wang Meng before he believed Zhuge Liang, and appointed him as a military advisor to offer wine, and ordered him to go to Hetao to help Wang Meng with his armed force.
For Wang Meng, Zhuge Liang''s arrival was like a beacon illuminating the road ahead. After the two of them learned from each other''s strengths and weaknesses, all the previous loopholes were compensated, so there was a three-step plan for the resistance to the Yuan Dynasty.
Now that the first step in the three-step plan has been implemented, more than half of it, Qin Hao doesn’t even know what the specific plan is.
The Yuanmeng forces in Yinchuan County were also expelled. Even if Qin Hao continued to stay, it would not make much sense, so he decided to lead the army to the Ningxia army to personally understand all the plans of Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng.
In the end, Qin Hao decided to bring 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry soldiers, a total of 80,000 infantry and cavalry troops to Ningxia, leaving behind 70,000 infantry and 50,000 militia to guard Yinchuan County.
Now Yinchuan County is already the rear of the Qin and Jin coalition forces. Before Yuan Meng completely captured Yinshan and Ningxia counties, even if he broke through the Qin army''s defense and attacked again, the troops he dispatched must be limited. With 70,000 infantry and 50,000 militias, it was more than enough to defend Yinchuan County.
As for the candidates who stayed in Yinchuan, between Bai Qi and Xue Rengui, Qin Hao finally chose Xue Rengui.
Bai Qi''s commander attribute of 105 points must naturally be fully utilized on the front line, and with Xue Rengui''s ability, he will definitely be able to ensure that Yinchuan County is as stable as Mount Tai.
"Xue Rengui obeyed the order."
"The last one is here." Xue Rengui stood up and replied with his fists.
"You are now appointed as the main general and Ding Yanping is the deputy general. He will lead the main army of 70,000 and 50,000 militias. There must be no mistakes in guarding the seven cities of Yinchuan."
The reason why Qin Hao left Ding Yanping for Xue Rengui was that among the 70,000 left behind, there were a large number of Liang army surrendered.
The soldiers of the Liang army have always been rebellious and difficult to calm down. These reorganized troops have not surrendered to the Qin army for a long time. They have experienced several life-and-death battles. The sense of belonging must be weak, so a high-profile Liang needs to conquer the situation in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that Qin Hao will not have the risk of rebellion after leaving. Currently, the senior generals of the Liang army who surrendered to the Qin army are only Yuwen Chengdu and Ding Yanping, and Yuwen Chengdu needs to command the reorganized 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry, so the task of staying behind naturally fell on Ding Yanping.
"No."
Xue Rengui and Ding Yanping responded in unison, and then Xue Rengui raised his head and said loudly: "Thank you for your trust, Xue Rengui will protect Yinchuan without losing it."
"Um."
Qin Hao nodded when he saw this, then looked at the generals in the hall and ordered: "Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Jiang Song, Gao Chong, Ran Min, Jia Fu, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Luo Cheng..."
Every time Qin Hao called a name, one person would stand out. Soon most of the generals in the hall were pointed out by Qin Hao, and those who were not clicked will naturally follow Xue Rengui to stay in Yinchuan.
"You and others followed me to lead an army of 80,000 infantry and cavalry to Ningxia."
"No." The generals responded in unison.
Ningxia already has Wang Meng''s 120,000 elite Jin army and 70,000 militias. If Qin Hao brought 80,000 elite troops, it would be a total of 270,000 troops, and 200,000 of them were elite troops, which can be said to have concentrated the essence of the Qin and Jin armies together.
After the meeting, the Qin and Jin coalition was undoubtedly a huge force. With so many famous masters and powerful generals participating, even if they faced all the main army of Yuan and Meng, Qin Hao was confident that he would never be at a disadvantage.
Under Qin Hao''s leadership, 80,000 elite Qin troops drove towards Ningxia in a mighty manner, and the horn of the decisive battle was also launched.

Yinshan County, Zhenbei Pass.
After Temujin led the Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry to break through Zhenbei Pass, he captured many cities in Hetao with Murong Ke and Murong Chui, who were inside the Daru Hetao.
Each of these captured cities can be used as a command center, but Temujin placed the command center in Zhenbei Pass, and there are two reasons for his arrangement:
First, the geographical location of Zhenbei Pass is the most important;
Second, the Yuan Meng has not yet captured the capital of any of the three Hetao counties.
The 400,000 cavalry of Yuanmeng went south, which was so powerful. How could an ordinary city be used as the command center?
The only city that can bear the Yuanmeng command center is the capital of the three Hetao counties, and then there is only Zhenbei Pass left.
Since the three counties have not been taken down, we can only use Zhenbeiguan to make do with it. At worst, we can change it after we take down the three counties.
Temujin made a careful calculation, but he was embarrassed to find that the capitals of the three counties of Hetao were all difficult to crack.
Yinshan, Ningxia and Yinchuan occupy nearly half of the development resources of Hetao. It is also a city that the Jin army focuses on developing and building. Although its defense is not as good as the heroic pass like Zhenbei Pass, it is not comparable to those ordinary county towns that cannot be named.
