Chapter 855 Reunion in Luoyang
Chapter 853: Reunion in Luoyang
Apart from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu did not expect that he would become a lieutenant in this group. After all, he had been against Qin Hao before, and Qin Hao had no reason to increase his power.
However, Yuan Shu soon thought of a reason that he thought was very likely.
Yuan Shu thought that Qin Hao didn't like him, but he couldn't do anything about him, so he simply sent him to another road. Fortunately, he was out of sight and out of mind.
“Humph, Qin Hao, I won’t thank you.”
Yuan Shu was thinking this and was secretly glad at the same time. Fortunately, he had reconciled with Qin Hao not long ago, otherwise the deputy general of the Southeast Road would definitely have nothing to do with him.
I have to say that Yuan Shu's imagination is really big, and what he thinks has nothing to do with what Qin Hao thinks.
The reason why Qin Hao asked the Yuan brothers to lead an army alone to attack Xuanyuan was definitely not what Yuan Shu thought. There were two real purposes:
First, with the Yuan brothers' personalities of being so happy about success, after truly commanding an army, if they see all the other armies singing triumphantly, they will definitely not stagnate out of fear of casualties, and what Qin Hao wants is for them to capture Xuanyuan Pass for him. .
Second, the Yuan brothers have many members in the coalition, and this time Qin Hao took advantage of the situation and kicked out the Yuan brothers and their members, which can ensure the purity of the coalition to the greatest extent and completely turn it into Qin Hao's word. Hall.
Those two deep-seated purposes of Qin Hao were not seen by any of the Yuan brothers, but another person did, and he was Liu Xiu.
"No, if this continues, Qin Hao will have more and more control over the coalition forces. He will have the final say how he wants to manipulate me."
Liu Xiu's brain started working quickly, trying to think of a way to ensure his safety, while Qin Hao watched the princes continue and said: "On the southeast line of Xuanyuan Pass, in addition to the two princes Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Zhao Kuangyin, Yuan Yi and Kong Min, you three will also join the Southeast Route Army and gather a hundred thousand troops to attack Xuanyuan Pass together."
Zhao Kuangyin, Yuan Yi, and Kong Min looked at each other. They were either old officials of the Yuan family or close confidants of the Yuan family. Naturally, they would not refuse to help the Yuan family brothers, so they immediately said in unison: "I will obey the order of the leader of the alliance."
What Qin Hao didn't expect was that as soon as the three of them finished speaking, Liu Xiu stood up again and said respectfully: "To inform the leader of the alliance, Xiu is also willing to accompany General Yuan Shao to attack Xuanyuan Pass. I hope the leader of the alliance will agree."
Qin Hao didn't know what Liu Xiu was thinking. He must be afraid that it would be too dangerous to stay by his side, so he wanted to leave him to ensure his own safety, but how could Qin Hao let him do so.
"General Liu Xiu, I understand your desire to make meritorious deeds, but now you have less than two thousand troops left. Even if you go to Xuanyuan Pass, it won't make much difference, so you'd better stay."
Seeing that Qin Hao didn't want to let him go, Liu Xiu felt a little anxious, but he soon calmed down and said with a smile: "The leader of the alliance doesn't know something. Liu has been a close friend of General Benchu for a long time, and he can't wait to be with him as soon as possible." Colleagues, now we finally have an opportunity, I hope General Benchu will not dislike Liu as a weak general. "
The last sentence was said by Liu Xiuze directly to Yuan Shao, bypassing Qin Hao.
Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling a little proud when he heard Liu Xiu praising him so much. He said directly without much thought: "I don't mind it. Brother Liu came to help. It's too late for Yuan to be happy, so how can he dislike it?"
“In that case, General Liu Xiu, you should also join the Southeast Route Army.”
Qin Hao said calmly, but he was already cursing in his heart.
Liu Xiu is just a loach. As long as Qin Hao is not careful, he will escape from his control. Now he directly meets Yuan Shao's eyes, making Qin Hao unable to stay even if he wants to.
“Forget it, as long as Liu Xiu is still in the coalition, as the leader of the alliance, I have plenty of opportunities to deal with him, so I will let you go for the time being.”
Qin Hao thought to himself, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little tired. Qin Hao really felt a little exhausted physically and mentally while plotting against Li Shimin and having so many foxes competing for wits and courage.
Liu Xiu was temporarily let go, which made Qin Hao a little less interested, but the South Route Army still had to make arrangements.
"Sun Jian, I now order you to be the chief general of the South Route Army, with Qin Jian as the deputy general, and to lead Liu Yao, Lu Kang, Li Mi, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin and the seven princes with a total of 100,000 troops to attack Guangcheng Pass."
Sun Jian's eyes immediately flashed with surprise, and then he stood up and shouted: "Sun Jian takes the order."
The other six princes also stepped forward one after another, and except for Liu Yao who was a little unhappy, the others were not dissatisfied. They all said in unison: "I will obey the order of the leader of the alliance."
The geographical location of Guangcheng Pass is extremely important. It is the hub connecting Nanyang and Sizhou, so this road must be led by someone who is at ease.
As the sworn brother of Qin Hao's father, Sun Jian would definitely not cheat Qin Hao before there was a conflict of interest. Moreover, Qin Hao also sent his third uncle Qin Jian to check and balance Sun Jian.
In addition, in order to capture Guangcheng Pass, Qin Hao also made secondary preparations, that is, leaving Bai Qi and an army of 60,000 behind.
Of course, these troops and horses cannot be moved if they can. After all, there are princes' troops and horses that can be consumed. Wouldn't it be too stupid to consume your own troops?
Qin Jian's 30,000 Bingzhou cavalry must not be taken away, and the general strength of the Southern Route Army princes is between 10,000 and 20,000, so the seven princes gathered together an army of 100,000.
The Southeast Route Army basically belonged to the Yuan family, and the princes they belonged to were also very wealthy and powerful. Five of the six princes had a hundred thousand troops together, and Liu Xiu's army simply squeezed in to make up the numbers.
Qin Hao glanced at Liu Xiu who was standing behind Yuan Shao, then glanced at the princes, and said solemnly: "We will break camp tomorrow and divide our troops into three groups. We will not stop until we enter Luoyang."
“I will not stop fighting until I enter Luoyang.” All the princes responded in unison.
Qin Hao showed a confident smile on his face and shouted: "Everyone, please allow me to meet at the gate of Luoyang City."
“Meet Luoyang, join forces in Luoyang…”
In this way, the Kwantung Allied Army was divided into three, with a total of 13 princes and 200,000 soldiers and horses. They were separated from the east army and became the southeast and south armies.
But even so, the East Route has 23 princes and nearly 320,000 soldiers and horses. It is still the most powerful of the three routes.
But before the army from the East Route was about to break camp and attack Hulao Pass, Qin Hao summoned Li Cunxiao alone.
“My lord, I wonder how long it will take to find the last general?”
Li Cunxiao asked with a chuckle, and he was always very relaxed in front of Qin Hao, because the master would tolerate him in anything.
Qin Hao really likes Li Cunxiao, so he always smiles at him, but this time he has a rare serious face, which makes Li Cunxiao feel inexplicably.
Have you not caused any trouble recently? Li Cunxiao thought with some drumming in his heart.
