Chapter 1869: War in the Four Counties (Class)


    Chapter 1867: War in the Four Counties (Part 1)


    The Han army fought against the Qin army with an army of 180,000 for more than 300,000, and the pressure on troops was already very high.


    Cheng Buzhi''s entire army was wiped out by 20,000, which reduced the Han army''s strength to 160,000, while only a dozen people died in the Qin army.


    As one goes up and the other goes down, the Han army naturally makes it even worse.


    Therefore, after a brief period of anger and insults, when the ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty calmed down, they couldn''t help but become confused.


    Can the big man really continue to persevere? There is no hope at all at this time.


    Not only were the Han officials confused about the future, but even the emperor Liu Che.


    His refusal to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty and only fight against the Qin army alone was not all intentional, but also thought about it.


    First of all, Liu Che could not accept the fact that he joined forces with the Qing Dynasty from the bottom of his heart.


    Secondly, Liu Che felt that Qin Hao was the same type of person as him, and he hated foreign races the same feeling. If Qin Hao was in his current situation, he would definitely make the same decision as him.


    Finally, if the internal struggle between him and Qin Hao involved foreign forces, the nature of the Han people would be completely changed.


    The war between them is not a personal grudge, but a moral dispute. Even if the real fire is fought, they will still respect each other.


    No matter who wins in the end, even if it is to win people''s hearts, he will definitely treat the loser well.


    If Liu Che loses, at most he will die himself, and his family will definitely survive.


    But if foreign tribes are introduced as aid, the nature of this internal struggle will completely change.


    At that time, not only will he be infamous for thousands of years, but his family will even be implicated by him, which is something that Liu Che doesn''t want to see.


    In summary, even though Liu Che knew he would fail, he would rather die with dignity than join forces with the Qing Dynasty, which would eventually lead to a disgrace and a devilish life.


    Liu Che thought Qin Hao would be the same as himself, at least in his attitude towards the Qing Dynasty, but reality slapped him in the face.


    Taking advantage of the Qing army''s march into Youbeiping, the Qin army sneaked into attacks and captured Xu Wu, and then captured Tuyin City, annihilated 20,000 Han army''s army.


    Liu Che never thought of using the 20,000 Han troops from Youbeiping to fight a civil war. They were used to prevent the Qing Dynasty. Qin Hao could not have known about this, but he still attacked the Youbeiping army even though he knew this.


    Liu Che didn''t know what to say about this, but he felt a little disappointed. He felt that he had read Qin Hao wrongly and even felt like he had been betrayed.


    Looking at Liu Che, who had a cold look and was speechless for a long time, Huo Guang was silent for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the fall of the two cities in Youbeiping may not be a good thing for our army."


    "What, my 20,000 troops were wiped out. Could it be a good thing?" Liu Che said with a bad face.


    "Your Majesty, the two cities of Youbeiping were occupied by the Qin army, and the connection between our army and the Qing Dynasty was completely cut off. In the future, we can concentrate our efforts to deal with the Qin army, but the Qin army has to divide its troops to guard against the Qing Dynasty."


    As he said that, a glimmer flashed in Zhang Tang''s eyes and he said in a deep voice: "So that, before completely solving the threat from the Qing Dynasty, the 130,000 Qin troops in Youbeiping will definitely not leave Youbeiping.


    If the 130,000 Qin troops are missing, the number of Qin troops our army will face will be reduced from 330,000 to 200,000, and the pressure on the troops will be even smaller. "Yes, why did you forget this? ”


    Liu Che showed a sudden look. He only thought that he had lost 20,000 troops, but ignored the threat from the Qing Dynasty. The Qin army could not move even if it was impossible. In general, the pressure faced by the Han army was much smaller.


    Then Liu Che seemed to have thought of something again, and his face darkened and said solemnly: "No, Qin Hao cannot not know that once he breaks through the two cities of Youbeiping, he must face the threat from the Qing Dynasty.


    But even so, Qin Hao still divided his troops to capture Youbeiping with 130,000 troops. What does this mean? ”


    "It means that Qin Hao was ready to fight our army and the Qing Dynasty from the very beginning." Zhang Tang sighed lightly.


    This is the foundation of the overlords of the princes. Even if they withdraw 200,000 troops, they still have the confidence to compete with each other. The gap between the strength of the Northern Han and the Qin army is indeed too big.


    Liu Che''s expression became a little bad again. He felt that he had received Qin Hao''s contempt and snorted coldly, "Hmph, Qin Hao actually thinks that I will join forces with Nurhaci, and he really judges a gentleman with a villain''s heart.


    The fall of Youbeiping, and although our army''s troops were reduced to 160,000, the fifth Qin army was restrained by the Qing army and could not move. The Qin army could only use 200,000 troops to deal with our army, but our army was the guardian of the city. ”


    At this point, Liu Che''s eyes flashed with a gleam and he said confidently: "I want to see how the 200,000 Qin army defeated our 160,000 army before the beginning of winter."


    "Report... to your Majesty, the emergency military information of Dai County."


    After Liu Che took it, his face changed drastically.


    The Qin army divided into five armies to attack Youzhou. In order to protect the country and the land, Liu Che naturally had to increase his troops to garrison in various places. Otherwise, if the counties gradually fell, Yanjing would become an isolated city and it would be only a matter of time before it was captured.


    The five major troops of the Qin army attacked the four counties of the Northern Han Dynasty respectively, and Liu Che ordered four generals to guard the four counties respectively.


    The chief general of the Qin army was Bai Qi, and he went straight to Zhuo County where Yanjing was located. Except for the general Wei Qing, the Northern Han Dynasty, there was no one to stop Bai Qi.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Che transferred Wei Qing, who was in charge of Dai County, back to Zhuo County to restrain Bai Qi''s troops, and appointed the anti-Japanese hero Xue Gang to guard Dai County and Huo Bing from the Qin army in the second line.


    As for the garrisons of Shanggu and Yuyang counties, Liu Chesi thought about it for a long time and decided to appoint Li Guang as the chief general and lead Li Ling and other generals to guard Yuyang County.


    As for Shanggu County, it will be handed over to the Prime Minister Huo Guang, who will lead Zhao Chongguo, Su Jian and others to take charge.


    Liu Che naturally didn''t want Huo Guang to go to the battlefield, but now the Han generals have just withered. Apart from Huo Guang, there is no way to find a general who can command a county.


    Liu Che felt that such an arrangement was foolproof, but he didn''t expect that there would be any gaps so soon, and it was Xue Gang''s side who should not have any problems the least.


    Xue Gang was already a famous general after Wei Qing in Northern Han Dynasty. It took only one month to sweep away the Japanese pirates along the coast, making him famous. That''s why Liu Che let him take charge of Dai County and fight against Huo Bing''s army, the second largest number of Qin troops among the five routes.


    Huo Qubing and Wei Qing fought dozens of times in Daijun, but in the end they met the opponent, and no one could do anything to each other.


    But with the invasion of the Qin army from five routes, Liu Che had to transfer Wei Qing and 60,000 of the 100,000 troops of Dai County back to Zhuo County, which greatly reduced the defense power of Dai County.


    ?The first time the guaranteed update... I have had a cold recently, especially yesterday, which was the most uncomfortable. It may be because I blew too much air conditioner at home on Dragon Boat Festival, so I didn’t update yesterday.


    ??I didn’t hurt my throat today, but I kept having a runny nose. I was in poor condition and it affected my updates. Please forgive me.


    ??
