Chapter 374: There is a seam in the heavenly garment
Even if Zhang Jiao is the leader of a force with tens of millions of people, he is still just a mortal. After much thought, he could not figure out the key, so he asked:
“Why did Qin Hao target Xiang Yu?”
“Of course it’s to win the war.”
A glimmer of light flashed in the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth, and he said slowly: "Brother, we have been fighting so far, can't you guess the trend of the war in the future?"
“Of course we will go all out to capture Sizhou.” Zhang Jiao said directly without thinking.
Zhang Liang patted his head helplessly. It was hard for Zhang Jiao to imagine how many people had deceived his eldest brother during his absence.
“Brother, actually since the Han Dynasty moved the capital, Sizhou has been given to us by the Han Dynasty.” Zhang Liang explained with a wry smile.
Zhang Jiao said with some disbelief: "Impossible? The four counties of Sizhou have a population of more than four million, and the total population of Luoyang alone is nearly one million. And these people are all devoted to the Han Dynasty. Why would the Han Dynasty want to give up?"
Zhang Liang really didn’t understand how his eldest brother conquered several states. He was still in the dark about such a simple truth, so he had to patiently explain:
“Sizhou is like a vat filled with water, and Luoyang Baguan is like the eight valves at the bottom of the vat. As long as any valve is damaged, all the water at the bottom of the vat will leak out.
And now, of the eight valves in this big tank, we have destroyed four valves. It will only be a matter of time before the water in the tank runs out.
By the same token, there is no danger to defend the Heluo Plain except for the Eight Pass Fortress. Although the city walls of Luoyang are high and thick, it is impossible to resist my million-strong army.
Blankly defending will only consume the Han's own thoughts and eventually lead to his own destruction, so the Han will never fight with my army in Sizhou. "
Zhang Jiao suddenly realized that he had thought that there would be a difficult battle with Qin Wen in the near future. It turned out that the Han Dynasty had already given up on Heluo.
"its not right!"
Zhang Jiao suddenly thought of something and asked: "Since the Han Dynasty wants to abandon Sizhou, why do they concentrate defense generals like Qin Wen and all their troops in Sizhou?"
“Brother, Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty. Even if it is known that it cannot be defended, it will never be abandoned. If the capital is abandoned, how can the frontline soldiers still have the heart to resist?
As a famous general who defended the city, Qin Wen must have known this, so he had three purposes for inviting the battle this time.
1. Stimulate the morale of the whole army;
Second, make a gesture of not giving up an inch of ground, and give an explanation to the people of Sizhou;
Three, find reasons for the subsequent retreat, proving that Qin Wen did not retreat without a fight! "
Zhang Jiao was stunned after hearing this. He only saw the first point of Qin Wen's purpose, and did not expect that there were so many profound meanings in it.
The Han Dynasty did not hesitate to abandon the entire Sizhou, but also resisted resolutely, which shows how strong his resistance is.
So Zhang Jiao also gave up in his mind the unrealistic idea that the big man might surrender.
Since the war will not stop, it can only continue.
"In this case, the center of competition with the Han Dynasty in the future should be Guanzhong and Jingzhou." Zhang Jiao suddenly realized.
“That’s right.”
Seeing that Zhang Jiao was finally awakened by him, Zhang Liang smiled knowingly and explained: "Guanzhong has the danger of Yaohan, which is the most suitable battlefield for famous generals like Qin Wen.
Our army's power in Jingyi is weak, and the two states of Jingyi and Jingyi, which are the rear areas of the Han Dynasty, will continuously provide blood transfusions to the Han Dynasty.
If you want to completely defeat the Han Dynasty, you can only divide your troops to capture Jingzhou to cut off the Han's arm, and the Han Dynasty will also divide your troops to defend Jingzhou to the death.
If my prediction is correct, Qin Hao should be the commander-in-chief of the other route army by then, and my candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Second Route Army is naturally Xiang Yu. " "etc. "
Zhang Jiao quickly stopped him and questioned: "Qin Hao is less than 16 years old. Is it possible for the Chang'an court to let him take charge of an army alone?"
“Brother, have you forgotten how Qin Hao defeated Huang Chao?”
Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Qin Hao initially killed first and then played later. When he led the army eastward from Xuanyuan Pass, almost no one expected him to be optimistic. However, in the end, he defeated Huang Chao with a small victory and a large number. This not only shocked the Han Dynasty, but also shocked the Yellow Turbans.
Does Qin Hao still want to do it again and wait for now?
“So Qin Hao’s arrest of Ning’er is very likely to anger Xiang Yu so that Xiang Yu can take the initiative to deal with him.
If Xiang Yu goes to conquer Jingzhou, firstly, he can reduce the pressure on Qin Wen; secondly, he will also be in Jingzhou and compete with the opponent he knows best.
Most of Xiang Yu's men are elites. If Qin Hao really wins the battle, our army's elites will be severely damaged and their vitality will be greatly damaged. The attack will turn into a stalemate, and there is even the possibility of being defeated by the Han's counterattack. "
Zhang Jiao suddenly took a breath of cold air. He never thought that his daughter's capture might lead to the defeat of the Yellow Turbans.
"I'm sure that behind Qin Hao or the Han Dynasty, there must be an expert plotting against my Yellow Turban, or there are both behind it. It is impossible for Qin Hao or the Han Dynasty court alone to come up with such a link. It’s Yihuan’s plan,” Zhang Liang said firmly.
Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "It must be the Baijia gang who are causing trouble. There can be no one else but them."
Hundred families' betrayal had a huge impact on the Yellow Turbans.
The Mohist family and the craftsmen teamed up to build 100,000 powerful crossbows for the Yellow Turbans. Everything was ready and ready, and they were just about to build the crossbow machine. As a result, all the craftsmen from the hundreds of families were called back.
Can a strong crossbow without a crossbow machine still be called a crossbow? All 100,000 powerful crossbows were invalidated.
In addition to the crossbows, there were also many matters such as catapults, but they could not be carried out due to the betrayal of hundreds of families, causing great losses to the Yellow Turbans.
Hearing his eldest brother mention Baijia, Zhang Liang frowned and murmured to himself: "Baijia? It's getting more and more interesting."
If Qin Hao heard these words from the two of them, he would definitely be so surprised that he would be speechless.
Because Zhang Liang not only saw through his thoughts, but also guessed that there was someone behind the scenes.
As far as this kind of intelligence is concerned, no one in the world can compare to it except Gui Guzi.
Of course Zhang Liang only saw through Qin Hao's thoughts. He has not yet noticed Guiguzi's intention, but it is about to pass. This is a very dangerous signal for Qin Hao.
The originally flawless plan was interrupted by the appearance of Zhang Liang.
But what Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang didn't know was that everything they said was heard by Dongfang Sheng who came to deliver tea outside the door.
At this time, Dongfang Sheng's heart was filled with waves, and he was even more afraid of Zhang Liang.
My cheap uncle is so powerful, so how can I complete the tasks he assigned me?
After returning to his tent, Dongfang Sheng said to the female guard standing on the side: "Everything is ready. Now we will arrange for you to return to Xiang Yu. Shi Lan, are you ready?"
The waitress raised her head, showing a beautiful and determined face, and said: "Yellow Number One takes the order!"
After reading the messages from my friends, I found that what you said is indeed reasonable. In the final analysis, you still have to find the reason within yourself. Thank you for waking up Liuxiang, and thank you for still supporting this book. Thanks to Jiang Yeye, Murong Aoling and Shuyou 1509... for their tips, thank you for your support!
