Chapter 1016 The Forgotten Person
Chapter 1014: The Forgotten Person
Wang Mang couldn't help but feel a little complicated when he thought that the 36 princes had joined forces to attack him, but they still couldn't do anything about the Demon King Dong. He died so silently.
In Wang Mang's imagination, Dong Zhuo was a very lustful fat man weighing more than 200 pounds. After coming to this glorious era, Wang Mang discovered that the Dong Zhuo in his memory was not only not fat, but also an extremely brave and strong man, and even had super first-class physical fitness. The strength of a military commander.
Dong Zhuo's rise was not smooth sailing. He defeated countless opponents before unifying Kansai. Even heroes like Li Yuan and Yang Jian did not dare to have the slightest dissent under him.
Even Qin Hao, who has been cheating, did not dare to compete with Dong Zhuo in his heyday alone. This shows that Dong Zhuo is the most outstanding hero of this era.
But such an awesome figure has very low descriptions in all the history books. This made Wang Mang understand that the history books can only be used as a reference and cannot be fully trusted.
“Although the Yongzhou pastor is Li Yuan, Yang Jian has already seized the opportunity, and Li Yuan may not be able to compete with Yang Jian.
No matter who wins in the end, it seems that the Liang Army’s civil strife is unavoidable, and the Liang Army will definitely be severely weakened afterwards, and I’m afraid they won’t have the energy to contain Qin Hao...”
Thinking of this, Wang Mang couldn't help but secretly thought that something was wrong. Even if he kept the captured territory in his plan, the war between him and Qin Hao would still be protracted, and it would be impossible to decide the winner within a year or two.
After the expansion, the coalition forces of the princes in the south will reach 150,000 troops. However, it is impossible to support such a large army just by relying on the four counties of the south and the newly captured Hedong and Hanoi.
Although Qin Hao disclosed high-yielding varieties, grain and grass were a problem faced by all the princes before they were fully promoted.
Therefore, Wang Mang must get the support of the Liang army and other princes in order to have the capital to continue the stalemate with Qin Hao.
In addition, if there is no Liang army to check it, Qin Hao can use all his strength to deal with the Southern Alliance army. It will be difficult to stop it with this makeshift army.
"No, I can't let the Liang army suffer serious damage, otherwise my chances of winning against the Qin army going all out will be very low..."
Thinking of this, Wang Mang couldn't help but feel anxious. He, as an outsider, had no way to interfere in the internal affairs of the Liang army, but if he remained indifferent, he would only be dead.
“Try to remember, there must be something missing, there must be other ways... By the way, Li Shimin.”
Wang Mang racked his brains and pondered for most of the night, and finally thought of a character that everyone had forgotten, and that was Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and Dong Zhuo's long-decided successor. Li Shimin disappeared after the Battle of Luoyang, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
“If Li Shimin could return to Guanzhong in time, the internal fighting among the Liang army would probably end..."
Different from the uncertainty of the outside world, Wang Mang believed that Li Shimin was definitely not dead. As far as he knew, Li Shimin and Qin Hao were both enemies and friends. Even if they died, it would be impossible not to find the body.
Therefore, Wang Mang dared to conclude that Li Shimin was definitely not dead, but was accidentally captured alive after the fall of Luoyang, and then imprisoned somewhere in Luoyang by Qin Hao.
As for why Qin Hao did not kill Li Shimin, Wang Mang believed that Li Shimin must still be of use to Qin Hao.
"As long as we can successfully rescue Li Shimin from Qin Hao, we will definitely get Li Shimin's gratitude, and it will be a matter of course for us to unite with Liangdi to fight against Qin Hao." Wang Mang knows that Li Shimin is also a threat, but his current primary goal is , he persisted in the confrontation with Qin Hao. As for the future, it is not his current concern.
After rescuing Li Shimin, with Li Shimin helping him share Qin Hao's pressure, Wang Mang's life will be easier in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Mang's brows relaxed slightly, but then a big question came before him. Where was Li Shimin imprisoned by Qin Hao?
Wang Mang believed that no one knew the time-travelers better than himself, and he put himself in Qin Hao's perspective and repeatedly deduced forward and backward. He actually discovered that there were several places in Luoyang where Li Shimin was most likely imprisoned. place, but he didn't have much confidence, so he could only try his luck.
"Even if Li Shimin is really imprisoned there, it is impossible for me to break through the many blockades and successfully rescue Li Shimin with just the power in my hands."
Wang Mang's eyes were full of helplessness. The power in his hand was still too weak, but he then said to himself: "It seems it's time to contact Baijia. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

Although the coalition forces of the Guandong princes were disbanded due to the imperial policy, and all the princes returned to their respective families, it did not mean that they would not pay attention to the war in Sizhou.
The princes originally thought that Qin Hao's occupation of Sizhou was basically a certainty. However, as Dong Zhuo personally led the army eastward out of Hangu, the entire Sizhou was once again shrouded in fog.
Dong Zhuo's display of such a large array was obviously a sign of bad intentions, and Qin Hao's attitude was that he would not give up until he took Sizhou. All the princes also thought that Qin Hao and Dong Zhuo would definitely fight.
After that, Dong Qin held a meeting in Mianchi, and Dong Zhuo was captured alive by Jia Fu. What was even more surprising was that Qin Hao actually let Dong Zhuo back.
Everything that happened in Sizhou after that was so exciting, and developed in a direction that all the princes could not understand. It was like you sang and we came on stage.
I thought that after Dong Zhuo was betrayed, he would definitely go to war with Qin Hao in anger, but the Liang army inexplicably withdrew from Sizhou. Before leaving, they opened the checkpoint to attract the princes of Bingnan.
The four major princes of Bingnan sent troops south to seize territory, which made Sizhou once again shrouded in the clouds of war. Falling into a chaotic and extremely tense situation.
The princes who were paying attention to the situation in Sizhou thought that Qin Hao, who was used to being domineering, would directly go to war with the coalition forces of the southern princes.
But I didn’t expect that although there were frictions between the two sides, they were extremely restrained. Both sides had a tacit understanding of grabbing their own territory, and they still haven’t completely seen through.
There are four counties in Sizhou, namely Henan Yin 21 counties, Hedong 19 counties, Hanoi 18 counties, and Hongnong 9 counties.
The land of 21 counties in Henan Province, including Luoyang, had been completely occupied by Qin Hao before.
In this operation to seize territory, the Qin army occupied 5 counties in Hedong, including the governorship of Anyi, 4 counties including Chaoge in Hanoi, and 3 counties including Mianchi in Hongnong. The land of three counties.
The Qin army seized 12 counties from three counties. If 21 counties in Yin, Henan are included, there are currently 33 counties in total, accounting for nearly half of Sizhou.
