Chapter 1566 Camp Division


    Chapter 1564: Camp division


    A big Han Dynasty has three Han courts and three Han emperors. What does this mean?


    Of course, the world is in chaos.


    There was only one Luoyang court. As the overlord of the princes, Qin Hao''s Qin army could barely shock the princes in various places as the overlords of the princes.


    But now there are three Han emperors. For their own interests, the princes will naturally choose a court that is beneficial to them, and they can justify the orthodox court of Qin Hao.


    Therefore, from the moment the three Han emperors appeared, Qin Hao''s strategy of using the emperor to command the princes was basically useless.


    Of course, even so, Qin Hao cannot kick Liu Xie away here. At least he has to wait until Hebei is unified, otherwise he will only leave an excuse for being criticized.


    "Report to the lord, the pseudo-emperor Liu Che, has appointed Han Xin as the commander-in-chief, and the commander of the 400,000 Hebei army, responsible for the war in Hebei."


    After hearing his subordinates'' report, Qin Hao frowned and whispered with a solemn look: "It''s trouble now. Liu Che is worthy of being the Emperor Wu of Han, it''s indeed not simple."


    Qin Hao had always thought that Liu Che was relatively low-key in his behavior, and his territory was in Youzhou and he was also enemies on all sides, so he was destined to pose very little threat to himself.


    But now it seems that Liu Che''s threat is even greater than Liu Ji.


    Liu Ji supported Liu Bian as the emperor, and although it also had an impact on Qin Hao, he did not really send troops to invade. Instead, Liu Che''s various actions hit Qin Hao''s key points.


    First of all, it is the matter of Liu Che appointing Han Xin as the governor of the Northern Han Dynasty.


    Although Han and Zhaoyan formed an alliance before, they still fought and fought each other. Therefore, even with a huge army, the coalition forces were still defeated by the Qin army.


    But now it is different. The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Liang all joined the Hanting in Yanjing and became a vassal state of the Northern Han court. The alliance relationship became even more indestructible. It is precisely this way that Han Xin could lead the Hebei coalition forces.


    Han Xin was a genius commander who was no less than Bai Qi. Under his command, the Hebei coalition forces were not as good as the Hebei coalition forces that had fought each other before, and the combat effectiveness they could exert was definitely not the same level, so the Qin army was destined to be more difficult to conquer Hebei.


    Secondly, after Liu Che became emperor, he made a big decision to be crowned king with this move.


    Liu Che''s move seemed to be destroying the foundation of the Han Dynasty and cholera in the world, but it also hit Qin Hao''s weakness, making the Qin army unable to say anything.


    Although the relationship between the Cao and Sun families and the Qin army has always been very good and the alliance has been maintained for several years, there is no friendship between countries, only interests.


    If the princes such as Gongsun Xuanyuan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Kuangyin could not resist the temptation and accepted Liu Che''s enthronement, the Qin army would really face the situation of enemies on all sides.


    So, Liu Che''s threat to Qin Hao is even more than Liu Ji.


    Under Liu Che''s various operations, the frontal battlefield is no longer important for the time being. The focus of the struggle between the two sides has changed from war to diplomacy, which has caused another strange situation.


    Although the Qin army is still in a state of unstoppable power on the front battlefield, it is still full of dangers in secret. It is very likely that a mistake in diplomatic decision-making will lead to a loss and even withdrawal will be carried out directly.


    As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao felt extremely solemn in his heart, and at the same time he was somewhat grateful to himself: "Fortunately, Zhang Liang made a plan ahead of time, restricting Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin to the Central Plains, and was unable to get involved in the war in Hebei, otherwise the Hebei war would have caused trouble."


    With Zhang Liang''s intervention, chaos in the Central Plains had already arisen. Sun Jian had sent troops to Hefei. Although Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin had not sent troops yet, they were not far from the day of sending troops.


    Before eating the two cakes of Xuzhou and Jianghuai, at least Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin would never betray the Luoyang court, because once they were sent to other Han courts in the north and south, it would be not so easy to destroy the Ming Kingdom with the Qin army behind their backs.


    "Lords, Wu Gongsun Jian, Wei Gongsun Cao Cao, Song Gongsun Gongsun Yin, all rejected the enthronement of Liu Che and Liu Ji, and wrote to the court that they would never betray them."


    Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn''t help but smile and said to himself: "Zhang Liang''s plan has worked."


    Zhang Liang did amazed Qin Hao this time. Not only did his son and his power resolve Liu Che''s treacherous plan, but he also temporarily tied Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin to the Qin army''s chariot in an almost forced manner. At least before destroying Zhu Ming, Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin would never escape from the Luoyang court. Without the restraint of the two princes, Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin, the situation faced by the Qin army would be much better. Only the enemies on both sides of the southwest needed to be wary.


    In order to capture Hebei in one fell swoop, Qin Hao dispatched a total of 500,000 troops, but he also left 250,000, which was enough to block the princes from both directions of the southwest.


    "Which princes have accepted the enthronement of the two pseudo emperors from the north and south?" Qin Hao asked.


    “Yang Guang, Ma Teng and Han Sui all supported the pseudo-Emperor Liu Bian.


    As for Zhu Tianpeng and Gongsun Xuanyuan, they have not yet stated their positions. ”


    Hearing this, Qin Hao was already in his heart and roughly divided the major camps.


    First of all, there are still two major camps in the world, the Han camp and the anti-Han camp, among which there are only two anti-Han camps: Zhu Di and Hong Xiuquan. The Han camp is divided into four parts: Central Han, Northern Han, Southern Han, and Neutral.


    The Luoyang Han courts represented by Qin Hao: Qin Hao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Xie, Huang Zu.


    Hanting in Chengdu, Southern Han, dominated by Liu Ji: Liu Ji, Li Shimin, Liu Yu, Liu Xiu, Yang Guang, Ma Teng, Han Sui.


    Hanting in Yanjing, Northern Han, dominated by Liu Che: Liu Che, Yuan Shao, Han Xin, Song Jiang.


    Neutral ones include: Zhu Tianpeng and Gongsun Xuanyuan


    Therefore, the next diplomatic war between Qin Hao and Liu Che must be around to win over the princes of the neutral camp.


    Zhu Tianpeng is the master who is in the Han camp and has a clear mind. He can basically be excluded, so the only one left is Gongsun Xuanyuan of the Liao Kingdom.


    It just so happened that Gongsun Xuanyuan''s Liao Kingdom was still located in Youzhou, and he could directly send troops to attack the rear of the Northern Han Dynasty.


    Therefore, Gongsun Xuanyuan''s current position has become the key to the outcome of this battle.


    "Military advisor, do you think Gongsun Xuanyuan will turn to Liu Che, or will turn to us?" Qin Hao asked Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang on the side.


    After Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen looked at each other, Liu Bowen stood up and said, "This is hard to say, but no matter what, we still have to send an envoy to win over it."


    "Even if you can''t win over, you must keep Gongsun Xuanyuan neutral." Zhuge Liang said.


    Qin Hao nodded, then looked down and asked, "Who would like to serve as an envoy to lobby Gongsun Xuanyuan?"


    A young scholar stood up quickly and shouted: "Subor Li Hongzhang, I am willing to go."


    Qin Hao saw that Li Hongzhang''s special attribute was diplomacy, and it was as high as 96 points, and immediately nodded and said, "Since that''s the case, Li Hongzhang will send you to the Liao Kingdom."


    "Thank you for your trust."
