Chapter 1574: Politics 101
Let’s put it this way, the Northern Han Dynasty repelled both Qin armies, but the threat from the Qin army was still there.
However, among the three Qin armies of Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, and Su Dingfang, as long as one of them achieved a breakthrough, the Northern Han Dynasty would only face a disastrous defeat.
Therefore, Han Xin was inherently at an extremely disadvantageous position, and although he knew this, he could not fight against Bai Qi who was dividing his forces.
If the troops are not divided, once the retreat is cut off by Bai Qi, the whole army will be annihilated.
I have to say that although Bai Qi was not as good as Han Xin in terms of intrigues, he took his conspiracy to the extreme, so that Han Xin had to jump down even though he knew it was a trap.
“Yes, well done. If this trend continues, the Jizhou Campaign will be over within three months.”
Qin Hao said with a smile on his face, he also knew that Liu Ji established the Southern Han Dynasty, and Liu Ji and Li Shimin increased their troops on the border, which put a lot of pressure on the Sijing border, so it is better to end the war in Jizhou as soon as possible.
“Lord, there is some bad news here.” Liu Bowen said with a strange look.
"oh?"
Qin Hao frowned. Since the beginning of the war, he had heard basically all good news. Suddenly, bad news came, which really made him a little uncomfortable.
Qin Hao picked up a cup of tea and asked, "What's the bad news?"
“Gongsun Shu launched a coup, betrayed Gongsun Xuanyuan, and was named King of Liao by Liu Che.”
At this point, Liu Bowen's face became even more strange. There were traitors in the Gongsun family again, and there were actually more traitors than last time. Why don't the people in the Gongsun family have a long memory?
“Pfft…”
Qin Hao spit out the half-drunk tea and asked with a look of astonishment: "What did you say?"
“The most outrageous thing is that Gongsun Shu’s coup was very simple and successful, and it also won the support of most of the Liao army’s civil and military forces. Now most of the Liao army is under Gongsun Shu’s control.”
"What about Gongsun Xuanyuan? He just watched Gongsun Shu launch a coup and remained indifferent?"
“The Qing army invaded, and Gongsun Xuanyuan was dragged to the border, unable to return. This gave Gongsun Shu the opportunity to launch a coup.”
Qin Hao couldn't wait to listen to Liu Bowen's report bit by bit, so he directly surpassed the intelligence and browsed Ali at a glance.
When Qin Hao saw that Gongsun Shu's coup was successful, a large number of civil servants collectively supported Gongsun Shu, and Fuxi Shennong protected Xuanyuan's wife and children from Liaodu, and Li Hongzhang also hid in Xuanyuan's army, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Gongsun Xuanyuan is being The Northern Han Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty teamed up to plot. "
The Manchus suddenly invaded without any warning, and Gongsun Xuanyuan happened to be away from Liaoxi. This gave Gongsun Shu a chance to succeed in his coup.
But how can there be so many coincidences in this world?
Qin Hao can basically conclude that Gongsun Shu's coup was definitely planned for a long time. The Manchu Qing Dynasty suddenly sent troops to cooperate with Gongsun Shu. The purpose was to lure Gongsun Xuanyuan out of the Liao capital so that Gongsun Shu could launch a coup and take control of the Liao capital.
Furthermore, who would believe that so many civil and military officials rebelled collectively if it was not planned for a long time?
"What a clever chain plan. Not only did it account for all the forces, but it also understood the internal conflicts of the Liao army. But why does this plan look familiar to me?"
Qin Hao's face flashed with a look of thought, and after a brief thought, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said with great certainty: "Wang Mang, it must be Wang Mang's handiwork. No one can collude with foreigners except him. It is so natural to do so." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, Liang heard that Liu Che was extremely hostile to the Manchus and now he is colluding with the Manchus. Is there something inside that we don't know about?"
“It’s dark to be reckless.” Qin Hao said helplessly.
Qin Hao met Liu Che when the heroes were fighting against Dong. At that time, Liu Che was indeed a passionate and angry young man who hated evil as much as he hated his enemies. But now, Liu Che has been deceived by Wang Mang and has embarked on the imperial path. Different things he considers are different depending on his position.
As for Wang Mang's ability to confuse, Qin Hao is most aware of it. Although Liu Che is determined, it seems normal for him to be led astray by Wang Mang.
The current Liu Che is obviously no longer the same Liu Che he was before. Even the Manchu and Qing Dynasties who once hated him to the core. In order to completely secure his position, Liu Che put down his hatred and shook hands with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
In any case, Qin Hao feels ashamed about this. He can't even imagine what it would be like to cooperate with Yuan Meng. If that day comes, Qin Hao will undoubtedly become the kind of person he hates the most.
"Of the 70,000 Liao army, 50,000 are in the hands of Gongsun Shu. Now Gongsun Xuanyuan only has 20,000 confidants on the front line. They are still dragged to the border by the Qing Dynasty, unable to return to quell the rebellion, leaving the Northern Han Dynasty The problem of instability in the rear was solved in one fell swoop." As Qin Hao stated, he also mourned for Gongsun Xuanyuan who was fighting alone in northern Xinjiang. It was not that he, Xuanyuan Huangdi, was weak, but that his teammates were too cheating. The only traitors around him were traitors. This way No matter who the lineup is, it will be the same.
“My lord, if Liang’s prediction is correct, the Manchu Qing’s target this time should be Gongsun Xuanyuan instead of Youzhou, otherwise it would not be just a hundred thousand troops dispatched.” Zhuge Liang said firmly.
“What the military advisor means is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Before our army and the Northern Han Dynasty fight to the death, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not go south?” Qin Hao pondered.
“Yes, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had already recovered from the losses they suffered in the Yuan-Mongol War a year ago by attacking and annexing Han.
Today, only the four kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, Yubu, and Mahan are left in the Three Koreas. And with the death of King Li Yuanhao of Goguryeo by Shan Shitu, the Three Koreas Alliance has completely collapsed, and it is difficult to pose a major threat to the Manchus. .
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties have always wanted to completely occupy the land of the Three Koreas. Now they finally defeated the three Korean coalition forces. However, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties did not take advantage of the victory to annex them in one fell swoop. Instead, they ceased war and made repairs. Apparently, they wanted to take this opportunity to intervene or even enter the Central Plains. "
Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Qin Hao couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically: "This Nurhachi is really ambitious, but he just lacks courage.
But we must also know that ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand.
His attacks here and there with hammers and sticks have not completely destroyed Yuan Meng, nor have he completely occupied the three Koreas. It seems that there is unlimited glory, but in fact there are endless hidden dangers.
Now you want to join the Central Plains? Don’t worry about taking too big a step and tearing your balls. "
"Nurhachi's wishful thinking is indeed good, but he wants the Northern Han Dynasty and our army to fight and lose both sides? This is a bit taken for granted. As far as the current war situation is concerned, it will be difficult for the Northern Han Dynasty to lose both sides." Liu Bowen said with a smile.
“However, Gongsun Shu defected to the Northern Han Dynasty, which increased the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty a lot, and may cause a lot of trouble to our army.” Zhuge Liang said.
"No."
A glimmer of light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he said with great certainty: "Gongsun Shu is not defecting to the Northern Han Dynasty. Not only will it not cause trouble to our army, but it will also aggravate the internal conflicts in the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Che will never mobilize him unless it is absolutely necessary." Gongsun Shu’s army.”
Hearing what his lord said, Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly lit up. After a moment of thought, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "My lord is wise, he even thought of this."
The Northern Han Dynasty was said to be one country, but in fact it was just a community of interests. All forces were forced to gather together in order to fight against Qin Hao, and they all had their own little psychology in private.
So, Liu Che seemed to be the emperor of a country on the surface, but in fact he was just the leader of the alliance.
The great alliance of the Northern Han Dynasty previously had four members: Liu Che, Yuan Shao, Han Xin, and Song Jiang. But now Wang Mang, who has surrendered Gongsun Shu, wants to become the fifth member.
Liu Che, Yuan Shao and others did not regard Wang Mang as an opponent before, because Wang Mang's power was too weak and was simply out of reach in front of them, but it was different now.
Rather than saying that he had defected to the Northern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu would have been better off if he had defected to Wang Mang. He would not have listened to Liu Che, but would have followed Wang Mang's advice.
Although Gongsun Shu also has his own ambitions, his foundation is too shallow. At least in the short term, he cannot do without Wang Mang, so he can also be regarded as a force of Wang Mang's line.
In the past, within the large group of Beihan, Wang Mang was just a wage earner, and he only needed to receive a monthly salary.
But now that Wang Mang had enough money, he jumped on the negotiating table and told Chairman Liu Che: I also want to be a shareholder.
Chairman Liu Che, who does not have absolute controlling rights, naturally cannot give up his few interests to Wang Mang, so the contradiction between the two is also irreconcilable.
"Liu Che is not a simple person. It's impossible for Liu Che not to notice Wang Mang's behavior of pretending to be public for personal gain. Just wait, Liu Che and Wang Mang will definitely fall out one day." Qin Hao said with great certainty.
【Ding dong, the host has a deeper understanding of politics, the political attribute is permanently +1, and the host's political attribute rises to 101.
The five dimensions of the current host are: Commander 101, Force 105, Intelligence 98, Politics 101, Charisma 106. 】
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment.
Second update, I still owe one more chapter.
