Chapter 1155: Return of Tan Daoji
Seeing that Qin Hao's words reached this point, Xun You also knew that he could not persuade Qin Hao. However, his trip was not in vain. Qin Hao was not unkind at all, and at least he gave Cao Jun some assistance.
“I heard that Qin Gong has rescued His Majesty back to Luoyang. The thirty-six princes’ coalition failed to do it, but Qin Gong and your family did it alone. Xun You admires it.”
With that said, Xun You saluted Qin Hao, and then continued: "My lord is also a Han official, and he is willing to accept the Luoyang court as the official one and pay tribute to the court. However, Qiao Mao and other princes have colluded with Ming thieves and have obviously betrayed the Han Dynasty.
I hope that your Majesty can issue an imperial edict and cast him into the rebellious party, so that he will be spurned by the loyal people in the world. "
“Well, this…”
Qin Hao did not expect that Xun You would make this request. This was extremely beneficial to Cao Cao, but it was very disadvantageous to the current Qin Hao.
Nowadays, the Luoyang court is still very immature. Qin Hao has not yet unified Sizhou nor has he become the overlord of the princes, so he issued an order at once to beat the four princes into chaos. Isn't this an initiative to stimulate other princes? After all, no one wants to be blamed. The name of a traitor.
"You are digging a hole for me. As expected of the Xun family, they are really difficult to deal with."
Qin Hao thought to himself, and then smiled and said to Xun You: "Although the relationship between our two families is good, I can't just listen to your family's words. I will send emissaries from the other four families to investigate. If it is true, I will definitely ask your Majesty to declare him a treason."
So, the envoy to investigate was just an excuse for Qin Hao. Qin Hao would not take such a big risk for Cao Cao.
Xun You couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that he didn't take Qin Hao into account, but it was completely reasonable. After all, Qin Hao was not a reckless man.
"I also ask Qin Gong to investigate as soon as possible, and the envoy will return first."
Although Xun You failed to bring back reinforcements for Cao Jun, he did bring back a batch of emergency supplies. For Cao Jun, who was now short of everything, this batch of supplies sent by Qin Jun could temporarily relieve the urgent need.
After Xun You left, Han Fei said with an unhappy face: "This Xun Gongda's heart is too dark. My lord, you gave Cao Cao supplies for free, but he is still not satisfied. He even wants to plot against my lord. It seems that the Xun family They are not all gentlemen."
Pei Ju also didn't understand and said: "My lord, if we don't send reinforcements, we won't send out reinforcements. Why do we have to give materials to Cao Cao for nothing? Although our Qin army is rich, these materials are not for nothing."
Qin Hao knew that his subordinates were resentful, so he immediately explained with a smile: "When we first formed the alliance to challenge Dong, Cao Cao fully supported me, so I also owe him a great favor.
Now Cao Cao is at a comprehensive disadvantage. Whether due to the situation or interests, our army cannot directly send troops to rescue Cao Cao's army. However, if we do not provide any help, it would be too unkind. How will the people of the world view it? My father?
Furthermore, although I will send a batch of supplies and equipment to Cao Cao, I will not send out the new equipment of our Qin army.
Since our army entered Sizhou, we have seized a large amount of equipment from the Liang army. However, the equipment of the Liang army is different from our army. Our army will never equip it in the future. If we keep it, it will gather dust in the warehouse. Why not do it as a favor and give it to Cao Cao so that he can fight with Li Zicheng.
When Cao Cao's strength is improved, he will have the capital to compete with enemies several times his own. Only in this way will Yanzhou continue to be in chaos, and a chaotic Yanzhou is the most beneficial to our army. "
Han Fei and Pei Ju couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and then said together: "My lord, you are far-sighted, and we admire you."
The next day, Tan Daoji led the army back to Luoyang, and Qin Hao also asked Han Fei to hold another grand welcome ceremony for the army to destroy the Buddha. This also made Tan Daoji and other generals extremely flattered.
Along the parade, most of the people shouted Gao Chong's name, followed by Pei Yuanqing, and finally Tan Daoji. Gao Chong went on this expedition and killed two half-step masters in a row, which can be said to be completely famous all over the world.
Qin Hao originally wanted to use Gao Chong as a secret weapon to trick his opponents while Gao Chong's reputation was not obvious, but now it seems that this is completely unfeasible.
Xu Chu, the commander of the guard camp who was ordered to come to greet Qin Hao on his behalf, said to Tan Daoji with an envious look:
"General Tan, you have made a big splash this time. With only five thousand troops, you have achieved such great results. The lord and the military advisor are very satisfied. I will definitely not miss battles in the future."
Tan Daoji smiled humbly and said: "Mainly due to the contributions of Gao Chong and Pei Yuanqing, it would be difficult to use a large army to kill those masters in Buddhism who have reached the highest level of strength. If they were not there, this expedition would probably be very difficult. It’s hard to achieve such great results.”
When Gao Chong heard this, he immediately said: "General Tan, what you said is too modest. Even the half-step master of the Buddhist school almost used a crossbow by you when he fell into your scheme. Shooting in formation, let alone other masters?
Brother Yuan Qing and I are just embellishments after all. General, you are the most indispensable person in this battle. "
“Well, that’s right.”
Pei Yuanqing also nodded in agreement. At first he was not convinced by Qin Hao's choice of Tan Daoji as the general, but now he is convinced by Tan Daoji.
Along the way to destroy Buddhism, the Qin army encountered countless conspiracies, ambushes and sneak attacks, many of which might have wiped out the entire Qin army. However, Tan Daoji saw through these one by one, and in turn used them to severely damage Buddhism.
Pei Yuanqing asked himself that he did not have Tan Daoji's ability. If he were to command the five thousand Buddha-killing army, he would not be able to achieve the same results even if the army was exhausted.
After hearing what Gao Chong and Pei Yuanqing said, Xu Chu suddenly showed a look of shock. He had long heard that the trip to destroy the Buddha did not go smoothly.
The number of Buddhist monks was still higher than that of the Qin army, and the endless stream of masters harassed the army. However, Tan Daoji's self-created combat method of crossbow formation and sword formation shined in this battle, and Killed countless Buddhist masters.
Xu Chu originally thought that Tan Daoji's battle formation could only kill super first-class masters at most, and it would be difficult to kill if he reached the master level, but he didn't expect that he almost killed even the half-step master. Obviously, he must have shot a master in this battle. This is quite remarkable.
After the parade, Xu Chu brought Tan Daoji and other generals to meet Qin Hao, and Qin Hao naturally rewarded him according to his merits.
“General Tan Daoji, the Japanese prince will personally lead the army to go out tomorrow. When the time comes...”
Qin Hao patted Tan Daoji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The defense of Luoyang will be left to you."
Tan Daoji was overjoyed when he heard this. After all, Luoyang is now the capital of the Han Dynasty. Let him be responsible for the defense of the capital of a country. This is obviously to reuse his rhythm.
Tan Daoji quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you so much for your trust, my lord. Tan Daoji has nothing to repay. I can only repay my lord by dying for him."
Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, then his eyes fell on Gao Chong and Pei Yuanqing, and said: "As for you two, you will go out with me tomorrow."
The two of them looked at each other and said happily: "No."
Two updates in a row, to make up for what I owed on Children’s Day yesterday. It’s June, so I’m asking for recommendations and monthly votes!
