Chapter 2659: Ying Hao personally fought against the Central Plains, and the eight Qin troops came out together
The fourth year of Shenwu, April 25th.
There has only been ten days since the Qin Dynasty sent troops to attack Ming Dynasty, and within these ten days, there have been constant big and small things in the world.
Small things include: the Qin people paraded on the streets to criticize the Wei and Song dynasties, the second imperial examination candidates bewitched the people, etc.
Major events include: the three countries of Wei, Song and Ming officially formed an anti-Qin alliance, Sun Ce launched a Jianye coup, Sun Quan fled to the Wu Kingdom to split, Liu Xiu poured out the whole country to attack Wu, and the melee between the four countries of Yingzhou, etc.
"Your Majesty, after the war between Wu and Chu, Sun Wu personally took charge of Chibi, while Wu Zixu was in charge of Lujiang.
The two of them were one in the south and one in the north. Although they blocked Liu Xiu and Guo Ziyi, the fall of the south city of the southwest gate of the Wu Kingdom made the overall defense line torn a big hole by the Chu army.
Now Han Qinhu led his army to retreat to Ganxian, while Cao Shen led his troops to attack the other cities of Poyang. Once all the counties in Poyang were obtained by the Chu army, Ganxian would also become an isolated city, and would sooner or later be defeated by the Chu army.
Once Gan County falls, Cao Shen can penetrate directly into Sun Wu''s rear, and even if the gods come, it will be difficult to save them. Therefore, the key to the subsequent dispute between Wu and Chu is Poyang County.
At present, Sun Ce has appointed Sun Bin as his military advisor and personally led a large army to Poyang to take charge. I don’t know if Poyang County can be saved, and Jianye was handed over to Lusu to guard.
After Sun Quan learned that Sun Ce had left Jianye, he might not want to be compared by Sun Ce, so he personally led an army of 30,000 to head south to Kuaiji County to resist the Chu army led by Ma Yuan. ”
After listening to Guo Jia''s report, although Ying Hao had long expected that the Wu Congress was at a disadvantage, he obviously did not expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly. Although part of this was caused by the Qin Dynasty behind the scenes, the contradictions within Wu were the main reason.
Judging from the current situation, although the Wu State was in a passive state of being beaten in the Battle of Wu and Chu, there were many famous generals such as Sun Ce, Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wu Zixu, and more than 200,000 troops, and it would be fine to hold the Chu State for one or two years.
By one or two years later, the Qin Dynasty might have occupied the Central Plains long ago. By then, no matter whether the Wu Kingdom was destroyed or not, it would have no use of the Qin Dynasty.
But there is another big variable among them, that is Sun Quan.
After the fall of Nancheng, although Sun Quan did not continue to act evil again, he even went to Kuaiji to take charge, as if he wanted to perform well, it was precisely because of this that it was easier to make things worse. After all, the opponent he was facing was General Fu Bo Ma Yuan.
After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ma Ai defeated Longqiang in the west, fought in Jiaozhi in the south, and attacked Wuhuan in the north. During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, he became one of the "Sixty-four generals of the Wu Temple" and was ranked among the "Seventy-two generals of the Wu Temple" during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song. During the reign of Emperors of Qing Dynasty, he worshiped the imperial temples of all dynasties, and was extremely prominent in both his achievements and reputation.
On the other hand, Sun Quan''s ability to command is really hard to describe.
The effect of Sun Quan leading an army of 100,000 to take charge of Kuaiji is even worse than that of Xie An, Xie Xuan, and even Zhu Ran. The effect of leading an army of 40,000 to 50,000 to take charge of it is better.
"Sun Quan is definitely not a match for Ma Yuan. The situation in Wu State may deteriorate further, but it should be fine if it lasts for a year and a half.
What our Qin Dynasty has to do now is to make the battle between Wu and Chu last longer as much as possible, and the other is to destroy the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties and completely occupy the Central Plains before the end of the battle between Wu and Chu. ”
After taking a deep breath, Ying Hao asked again: "By the way, what''s the situation in Yingzhou?"
Although the Qin Dynasty is the strongest in Yingzhou, even if the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties combined are not as good as the ones, they have enemies from all directions and are still at a disadvantage in their geographical location.
"After your Majesty, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, joined forces with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other local Japanese forces to declare war on our army, the three counties of Kanto and Echigo were attacked by five enemy troops in three directions, three directions, south and west respectively.
The two counties in the western part of the state and Kyushu were also attacked by many enemy troops. Although a lot of territory was lost, the losses were not large.
In the Jiuzhou side, because Lu Meng stood on our side, it was the war zone with the least pressure. ”
Ying Hao was shocked when he heard this. After all, there were four forces of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu. If the forces of Qin and Wu join forces, their strength would be slightly stronger than those of Wei and Song.
Zhang Han and Lu Meng joined forces. If they defeated the Wei and Song coalition forces in Jiuzhou and unified Jiuzhou Island, they could support Di Qing in the west to the west.
Once the western part of Honshu is stabilized, the Qin Dynasty, which has Kyushu and the western part of Honshu, can counter-encircle the four-nation coalition forces of the Mino Plain, and regain its strategic advantage.
However, the most difficult part of this plan is not whether Zhang Han and Lu Meng can defeat the Wei and Song coalition forces, but whether Di Qing can defend the eight counties of Xihai in the western part of the state.
"I ordered Di Qing to keep guarding Xihai County until Zhang Han''s reinforcements arrived." Ying Hao said in a deep voice.
Di Qing is far away in Yingzhou, and Ying Hao can''t give him much help, so he can only give him some verbal encouragement.
—————
The next day, Luoyang, Ziwei Palace, Fengtian Hall.
The civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty gathered together and were holding an important meeting, which was how to deal with the Wei and Song dynasties.
The attitude towards Wei and Song was not only among the people, but also in the Qin Dynasty, which was that Wei and Song had to pay the price for their rebellion.
Seeing that all officials supported him, all the people were surrounded by him, and everyone was united, Ying Hao said decisively:
"Since the alliance between Qin and Wei and Qin and Song dynasties, our Great Qin has provided much assistance to the Wei and Song dynasties. Song can promote business and Wei can maintain peace and relied on our Great Qin.
I asked myself that I had never treated the Wei and Song dynasties badly, but the Wei and Song dynasties helped the Ming thieves, repaid their kindness and retaliated against them, and turned them down.
The Wei and Song ate my Qin and drank my Qin, but now they want to smash my Qin’s pot. It’s so damning. Even if I can tolerate it, the 40 million people of the Qin Dynasty cannot tolerate it.
I decided to send troops to attack Wei and Song, so that the Wei and Song dynasties would know the consequences of the opposition to our Great Qin. ”
As soon as this statement was made, all the officials immediately shouted in unison: "My emperor is wise, my emperor is wise..." Next, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Meng, personally wrote a letter to list the ten major crimes of the Wei and Song dynasties, officially declared war on the Wei and Song dynasties, and then Ying Hao, as the emperor, personally ordered the dispatch of troops.
This time, the Qin Dynasty dispatched a total of 570,000 troops, divided into five groups to attack the Wei and Song dynasties.
In addition to the three thirty-three armies that had already attacked the Ming Dynasty, the total number of troops deployed by the Qin Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains reached an astonishing 900,000, and the troops were divided into eight groups to attack the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains.
The specific distribution of troops sent to the Central Plains by the Qin Dynasty is as follows:
The first route, the chief general: the Grand Governor of Qingzhou, Su Dingfang, led an army of 150,000 to the North Sea and attacked Qingnan;
The second line, the chief general: the governor of Jizhou, Zhuge Liang, led an army of 100,000 out of the Bohai Sea and attacked Qingnan;
The third line, the main general: the commander-in-chief of the navy, Zhou Yu, led 80,000 navy troops out of the East China Sea and attacked Xuzhou;
The fourth line, the main general: General, Bai Qi, led an army of 120,000 to leave Yecheng and attack Baima;
The fifth line, the chief general: Emperor Ying Hao, led an army of 150,000 out of Hulao Pass to attack the sour jujube;
The sixth route, the chief general: Zhang Liao, the governor of Bingzhou, led an army of 80,000 to go out of Guangcheng Pass and attack Yingchuan;
The seventh route, the chief general: Deputy Governor of Jingzhou, Han Xin, led an army of 70,000 to Ye County and attack Kunyang;
The Eighth Route Army, the commander-general of Jingzhou, Xue Rengui, led an army of 150,000 to Zhangling and attack Runan;
The chief general of the fifth Qin army was Ying Hao himself.
Ying Hao actually considered whether to lead the army for a long time, but this war involved a million troops. Even as the founding emperor, he needed to destroy the Three Kingdoms to further his prestige and power. Therefore, he did not have to go to the battlefield in this war, but he had to lead the army himself.
Nine hundred thousand Qin troops divided into eight groups to jointly attack the three Central Plains, including: 670,000 light and heavy infantry, 150,000 light and heavy cavalry, and 80,000 navy.
Su Dingfang, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, a total of 330,000 troops were attacked by the Ming Dynasty.
The four armies of Ying Hao, Bai Qi, Zhang Liao and Han Xin have a total of 420,000 troops to attack Wei.
Xue Rengui led a total of 150,000 troops along the way to attack Song.
The Eighth Route Qin Army and the Four Routes attacked Wei, including Bai Qi, who won every battle and the Emperor Ying Hao.
This shows that although the Qin Dynasty declared war on the Ming Kingdom first, the Wei Kingdom among the Three Kingdoms in the Central Plains was the primary goal of the Qin Dynasty.
After the Wei State''s extreme expansion of its army, the total national strength was only more than 300,000, but the Qin Dynasty directly used 420,000 troops to attack Wei. The purpose was to completely defeat Wei State in the shortest time with absolute power and not give Wei any chance to fight back.
As for the Song Dynasty, although the Qin Dynasty sent only 150,000 Xue Rengui''s army in the early stages of the war, there were 50,000 cavalry alone, accounting for one-third of the total cavalry.
The Yuzhou area to which the State of Song belongs, like the State of Wei, is located in a plain area and a flat mountain.
100,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry, and Xue Rengui, the **** of war who commanded the hundred, was enough to confront the 300,000 Song troops.
As long as the Wei Kingdom is taken down first, the Qin Dynasty will be able to distribute a large number of troops and go south to support Xue Rengui. If the Wei and Song dynasties are destroyed, the Ming Kingdom will be unable to support it alone and will sooner or later be defeated by the Qin Dynasty.
The total strength of the Qin Dynasty was 1.55 million, and 900,000 were dispatched to the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, and there were still 650,000 troops left in the country.
Among these 650,000 troops, 300,000 were used to destroy the Sui Dynasty and deal with Tubo.
The remaining 350,000 troops were mainly stationed in You, Bing, Jing, and Hanzhong to prevent the sudden intervention of Shu, Chu, Yuan, Qing, Jin, Chao and other countries during the Qin Dynasty''s conquest of the Central Plains.
At present, the Chu State is scattering its troops to attack Wu, and the civil war in the Qing Dynasty has not ended. The Yuan State was beaten up by the Qin Dynasty two years ago. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that it will intervene during the Qin Dynasty''s attack on the Central Plains.
However, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan a region; those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a while.
Even if the possibility is low, Ying Hao must be on guard.
The Qin Dynasty sent 1.2 million troops to fight outside and left 350,000 troops to defend all the places, which was enough to deal with all the variables.
On the night when the Qin Dynasty announced its troops to the Wei and Song dynasties, Ying Hao stayed in Cao Jie''s bedroom.
Cao Wei is the most joint venture with the Qin Dynasty. Xiahou Qingyi, Su Daji, Cao Xian and Cao Jie are all from the Wei State.
This time, the Qin Dynasty was going to destroy other people''s parents'' home, and Ying Hao always had to coax them. These four concubines were also very clear about the righteousness, so Ying Hao didn''t need to talk too much.
"Your Majesty, I have written to my father many times, advising him not to act against the will of heaven, but..."
Cao Xian didn''t say the following words, obviously he was scolded by Cao Cao, which made Cao Xian even more aggrieved.
She was also kind-hearted to persuade Cao Cao to surrender. After all, the unification of the Qin Dynasty has been achieved, and Cao Wei’s strength is too weak. The gap in strength between the two countries is too big. Only by surrendering can you fight for more rights. When you are defeated, you will have nothing left.
As Cao Cao''s daughter, Cao Jie is naturally not a white lotus. Even she can see that Wei and Qin are enemies like blocking a chariot with their arms, but Cao Cao is not as clear as his daughter, which is exactly the same as when the authorities are confused and bystanders.
Ying Hao hugged Cao Jie in his arms: "I feel wronged by my beloved concubine, I am stuck between the Qin and Wei Kingdom, and I am in a dilemma, and I am not a human inside or outside."
When Cao Jie heard this, he couldn''t help biting his lip, his face full of grievances. After all, the four sisters did suffer a lot of grievances during this period.
Just as Ying Hao was about to rest, he found that Xiahou Qingyi, Su Daji and Cao Xian were all wearing gauze and appeared in the bedroom, and all looked shy.
What''s the matter?
Ying Hao was stunned when he saw this, but immediately reacted and felt a little hot. After all, it was already normal for him to learn from it, but this was the first time that this ambush was lying on all sides.
