Chapter 983: The ownership of Xuanyuan Pass
With the relocation of the Qin Hou Mansion to Luoyang, civil servants such as Xun Yu, Han Fei, Liu Ye, etc. naturally rushed over. However, there is a disadvantage of having more smart people, that is, the smarter the people, the more ideas they have.
At the military and political meeting, Liu Ye said with a serious face: "My lord, Xiangyang Governor Yue Fei has asked for orders three times to lead the army to attack Nanjun. Now that Liu Xiu is leading the army south and is not in Jiangling, it is the best opportunity to unify Northern Jing."
Liu Ye was in charge of the factory for Qin Hao before, but after Ou Yezi took over, Liu Ye was finally able to concentrate on managing the military affairs, and he was also preparing to show off his talents.
Xun Yu, who was in charge of logistics, retorted: "Yue Pengju only focused on fighting and did not consider the logistics pressure at all. Don't you Ziyang also understand logistics?"
Liu Xiu only led 10,000 troops south this time, but left behind 30,000 soldiers and horses for defense. Jiangling's military strength was not empty. If he wanted to break it in one fell swoop, he would need at least 50,000 troops.
Now that our army has dispatched 130,000 troops to compete with the Liang army for the four counties of Sizhou, how can there be any leftover food for Yue Fei to attack Jiangling? "
Although Qin Hao has disclosed new grain varieties, except for the relatively closed three counties of Hetao, cultivation has not been officially promoted in all sites. Most of Nanyang's grain reserves are purchased from outside, and naturally they cannot sustain it for such a long time. continual fighting.
Learning that when Liu Xiu went south to attack Jingnan, Qin Hao also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Jiangling, but he did not have enough food and grass reserves, so he had to make a choice.
After defeating Sizhou, you can connect to Bingjing, which has far greater benefits than defeating Nanjun, but Yue Fei, who has a political attribute of 53 points, does not think so.
Yue Fei only knew that his official position was getting bigger and bigger, and he commanded more and more troops, but his opportunities to lead the army became less and less.
Yue Fei’s blood boiled just thinking about the grand gathering of the Thirty-sixth Route Army’s group of people to discuss Dong, but he could only sit back and wait for the news to come.
Now that 50,000 new troops have finally been formed, and although there are many troops left behind in Nanjun, except for Liu Xiu, Yue Fei ignores the rest.
Yue Fei has carefully analyzed the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves. In his opinion, as long as he has two months of food and grass for the 50,000-strong army, it will be enough for him to attack Nanjun.
However, the Qin army focused all its energy on fighting for Sizhou and did not care about Nanjun in the south. This made Yue Fei helpless and unwilling, so he wrote three times stating his interests and requesting to send troops.
With the arrival of 50,000 elite troops in Luoyang, the strength of the Sizhou Qin army reached 130,000, and they were no longer intimidated by the 140,000 Liang army.
With the current strength of the Liang Army, it is absolutely impossible to drive the Qin Army out of Sizhou unless they continue to increase their troops or achieve a major victory of a campaign nature.
Of course, it is not easy for the Qin army to win in the short term, so it is better to take Nanjun first to get rid of Liu Xiu's big problem.
Yue Fei's view was supported by many people. After all, it was indeed a good opportunity to capture Nanjun at this time, but they didn't know that Qin Hao had already planned it.
Looking at the two sides still arguing, each with their own reasons, and no one could convince the other, Qin Hao couldn't help but complain in his heart, why didn't Zhang Jiuling stop this Yue Fei even if he caused trouble for him?
What Qin Hao didn't know was that Zhang Jiuling stopped him, but was later persuaded by Yue Fei.
“Okay, don’t argue anymore.”
After Qin Hao coughed deliberately, the two parties in the argument immediately stopped, and everyone's eyes focused on Qin Hao.
Looking at the trusting eyes, Qin Hao knew that it was time for him to make his own decisions at the post, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Send the order to Yue Fei, guard the door tightly, and do not send troops without permission..."
Liu Ye couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Such a good opportunity was missed after all, but Qin Hao's next words shocked him.
"However, we must be prepared to send troops at any time. If there is a major change in Sizhou or Jingnan, we will immediately send troops to attack Nanjun." Some generals showed doubts. Major changes? What major changes could occur?
Looking at the doubtful eyes, Qin Hao had no intention of explaining. After all, this was related to the safety of his uncle, Emperor No. 1 Jia Xu, so of course it was impossible to explain everything.
Looking at Qin Hao who looked calm and calm, Liu Bowen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His lord's growth rate was so fast. He then stood up and said: "My lord, due to the lack of troops, our army will use all its troops." They were all concentrated in Luoyang, and not many troops were deployed at Hulao, Xuanyuan and Guangcheng Pass.
Now that our army has sufficient strength, and we still have to compete with Dong Zhuo for Sizhou, it is better to increase the number of troops at three passes as soon as possible just in case. "
“What the military advisor said makes sense.”
Qin Hao nodded after thinking for a moment, then glanced at the generals of the Qin and Jin armies, and finally his eyes fell on the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Where are Xu Huang and Guan Sheng?"
Xu Huang and Guan Sheng were immediately shocked. They all stood up and shouted: "The end will be here."
"I now order you two to lead five thousand troops each. Xu Huang will be stationed at Hulao Pass, and Guan Sheng will be stationed at Xuanyuan Pass."
The reason why Qin Hao did not send more troops to Guangcheng Pass was because Nanyang was to the south of Guangcheng Pass. If he wanted to threaten Guangcheng Pass, he would have to attack the hinterland of Nanyang. No princes could do this yet.
Xu Huang and Guan Sheng were overjoyed when they heard this, and said in unison: "Thank you, young master, for your trust."
The other generals of the Jin army also looked happy. On the contrary, the generals of the Qin army were a little dissatisfied. However, since the lord Qin Hao had accumulated power for a long time, they did not dare to complain.
Hulao Pass and Xuanyuan Pass are the two gates to the east and southeast of Sizhou. However, Qin Hao handed over these two important gates to the generals of the Jin Army. This naturally made the generals of the Qin Army Think more.
Qin Hao has no good solution for this. After all, factional disputes have existed since ancient times. They can only be balanced but cannot be forcibly destroyed.
Now that the Qin army has entered Sizhou, and after taking the three counties and unifying Sizhou, they will unite with the Jin army to wipe out the four major princes in the south, and completely connect the Qin and Jin armies into one territory.
At that time, although Qin Wen will hand over the military and political power of the Jin army, it will not be easy for Qin Hao to become the sole leader of the Qin and Jin armies.
It is true that Qin Hao is Qin Wen's only son, but he is not the founder of the Jin army after all, and his mark on the Jin army is far less profound than that of the Qin army.
Therefore, in order to overwhelm the arrogant and powerful generals of the Jin army, Qin Hao not only had to show his tough skills, but also had to make the Jin generals take him seriously.
The best way to employ people is to use both kindness and power.
However, the Qin and Jin armies have not yet unified, but there is a faint tendency of opposition. In Qin Hao's view, this is not a good momentum, and it must be cut off at the source.
Shortly after Guan Sheng and Xu Huang left with their troops, important military information came back from Guan Sheng's headquarters.
"My lord, Yuzhou Mu Yuan Shu did not withdraw the troops stationed at Xuanyuan Pass as agreed. General Guan Sheng was afraid that this would trigger a war between the two families, so he temporarily retreated to the Yique Pass site to camp."
