Chapter 1016: Bones in the Tomb
“Report...Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng each sent 10,000 troops to help Wang Shichong.”
"Report... Bai Bo thief Guo Tai led an army of 20,000 people and came to help Wang Shichong."
“Report… Yuanmeng Temujin led 200,000 troops to go south…”
A series of bad news came, which also made the Qin army generals who were originally confident couldn't help but become a little impatient.
Some generals of the Qin army really couldn't understand. Not long ago, when their lord was still the leader of the alliance, the princes were almost praising him as their savior. But why did they so quickly get the illusion that they were enemies on all sides?
Unlike the restlessness of the generals, Qin Hao had no reaction to this. He was neither angry nor annoyed, but calm and calm, as if he wanted to watch a good show, which also reassured the generals of the Qin army.
These days, Qin Hao has received system prompts from Wang Mang to activate his skills more than once. Not long ago, he also received a message from Zhang Ning.
So, of course Qin Hao knew that his opponent on the surface was Wang Shichong, but it was Wang Mang, the originator of time travel, who was secretly causing trouble.
The reason why Qin Hao ignored Wang Mang and allowed Wang Mang to play such a beautiful combination of vertical and horizontal lines under the eyes of himself, the heir of the political family, was that he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
It should be noted that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trick are vulnerable.
With the death of Dong Zhuo, internal fighting among the Liang army is imminent. Qin Hao's biggest threat is no longer there, and the rest are just small fish and shrimps.
The 130,000-strong army in Qin Hao's hands was an elite force that had been carefully trained and armed to the teeth. The lineup of strong generals and commanders under his command was even more luxurious, without any weaknesses at all.
Even if the enemies on all sides unite, they are still no match for Qin Hao, so what does he have to panic about?
Moreover, Qin Hao will be able to deal with all the forces that Wang Mang can unite sooner or later.
Qin Hao wished that Wang Mang would gather these forces together, and then he would kill them all in one fell swoop, annihilating them all at once, and save the trouble of attacking them one by one.
Therefore, Qin Hao allowed Wang Mang to do whatever he wanted, but Wang Mang did not disappoint Qin Hao and indeed gathered all his enemies together.
However, Wang Mang still chose to expand the army even though he knew that expanding the army would reduce the overall combat effectiveness of the army and that armaments and food and grass were insufficient.
Such a crazy move made Qin Hao even moved, but that was all.
The number of Wang Mang's troops seems to be large, but the overall quality is better than that of the Yellow Turban Army. No matter how many such troops come, they still send summoning points and summoning cards to Qin Hao.
Wang Mang jumped up and down to do so many things and united so many forces, but no matter how he saved or struggled to the death, in the end his efforts were all in vain.
Qin Hao doesn't even need to react at all. He can crush all Wang Mang's arrangements just by being upright. Is there anything more desperate than this?
Qin Hao smiled when he saw the latest information coming in, which seemed to be news.
“It turns out that Temujin is Wang Mang’s biggest trump card.”
Qin Hao couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes. He guessed that Wang Mang might use Yuan Meng to hold back the Jin army, but he didn't realize that Temujin would be willingly used by Wang Mang first. After all, even if his intelligence was reduced by Wang Mang's skill 'Smart Tongue', Temujin would definitely be able to see through Wang Mang's true intentions, and the only reason for being willing to be used by Wang Mang was to cause trouble for himself.
"Even Temujin was convinced. It seems that Wang Mang was really well prepared before lobbying, but it is far from enough to win against me."
Qin Hao couldn't help but have a cold flash in his eyes, and then said to the counselor: "Military advisor, now the situation has been completely clear, and the four major princes in the south have united to **** the fruits of our army's victory. How do you think this battle should be fought? ?”
After Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Pei Ju and other advisers looked at each other and smiled, Liu Bowen finally stepped forward and said: "My lord, the one hundred thousand army that Wang Mang put together was extremely poor in terms of cohesion and combat effectiveness, but Wang Mang still We are still expanding our army. This is the way to death. Sooner or later, we will be defeated by our army, so there is no need to worry, my lord."
Fang Xuanling said: "My lord, joining the coalition forces of the southern princes is a serious problem and is nothing to worry about. Yuwen Chengdu in the Yewang City is the real big problem."
Now Wang Mang, relying on the large number of troops under his command, seemed ready to defend the city to death, waiting for the Qin army to take the initiative to attack, and planned to use the defense of the city to consume the Qin army's strength.
.
Although there are many county towns in the two counties of Hanoi and Hedong, not all of them are strong cities. If there is no other strategy and you focus on defending rather than attacking, defense loopholes will be exposed sooner or later.
After Liu Bowen and other counselors gathered together, they discovered the flaw in Wang Mang's defense, which completely forced Wang Mang to go out of the city to fight. Once he left the city to fight in the field, he would definitely lose.
Want to use up the Qin army’s strength by defending the city? It's impossible. If you don't come out, I won't force you to come out!
Therefore, even if the Union Army had hundreds of thousands of troops, in the eyes of Liu Bowen and other counselors, they were still nothing more than dry bones in a grave. On the contrary, it was the Liang army with fewer troops in Yewang City that was more difficult to deal with.
The comprehensive quality of the Liang Army is second only to the Qin Army among the princes, and is far from comparable to the improvised coalition forces in the south. In addition, it has abandoned the entire Sizhou and retreated to the small palm-sized area that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are basically no loopholes in the defense of this land.
If the Liang army is stuck in the wilderness and the king cannot come out, then the Qin army seems to have no other option except to attack this road by force.
“My lord, this alliance of the four southern princes seems to be united on the surface, but there are many hidden dangers inside.
Issues such as the supply of food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of troops, the division of interests in Hanoi and Hedong, etc. have caused a lot of internal discord, and there is no absolute trust between them. "
Liu Bowen obviously already had the pearls of wisdom in his hands, his eyes were full of wisdom, and he said calmly: "To deal with such an unstable alliance, if the lord forces it too tightly, it will make it more united internally and concentrate all its strength. We should be consistent in dealing with the outside world, so we should take the policy of slowing down our actions.”
"oh?"
Qin Hao's eyes suddenly flashed when he heard this, and then he asked with a smile: "What is the slow policy?"
