Chapter 1642: Kong Ming’s Plan (Part 1)

"Hahaha…"

 Qin Hao looked at the petition for Qin in his hand, and smiled at Ren Hongchang on the side: "When we got married before, this Li He wrote seven poems in a row, scolding the king for being greedy and ruining the country.

Now he is even more aggressive. Not only did he scold me in the letter, he also scolded all the eighteen generations of the Qin family.

In order to smear this king, he has taken great pains. He is really a talent. "

Upon hearing this, Ren Hongchang asked angrily: "Husband, why do you still laugh when Li He scolds you?"

"Then I can't cry. Besides, he's right. I'm just holding the emperor hostage to order the princes."

Hearing what Qin Hao said, Ren Hongchang couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"No, we can't just let it go. I will send someone to kill this Li He right now."

With that said, Ren Hongchang was about to walk out, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Qin Hao.

"Don't be so murderous. You can't solve the problem by killing people. Since Li He wrote an article to scold me, let's find someone to write an article to scold me. He and Liu Ji will be infamy for thousands of years."

 “Pfft…”

Ren Hongchang couldn't hold it back, he burst out laughing and said coquettishly: "It's already this time, and we haven't gotten into shape yet."

“Why are you out of shape? I’m serious.” Qin Hao said seriously.

After the advent of papermaking and printing, Qin Hao only enjoyed the technology exclusively for more than a year. After enjoying the greatest benefits, he sold the technology to the major princes in exchange for funds.

After all the major princes acquired papermaking, paper began to spread rapidly, and this popularity also accelerated the flow of information.

 The news is no longer as closed as before, but some problems have also been exposed, that is, the people have become easier to fool.

In this era, the people are not enlightened and have little ability to discern. As long as they can make up some truth, they will basically believe it.

 Therefore, as Li He's "Essay on Discussing Qin" spreads throughout the world, there is no doubt that Qin Hao's reputation will suffer a certain blow.

As someone who has experienced the great information age of later generations, Qin Hao is very aware of the importance of public opinion. Naturally, it is impossible for him to watch Liu Ji smear himself and remain indifferent.

The war between literati naturally has to be fought by literati. Li He is only ranked 35th on the list of literati, while Qin Hao has more literati on the list than he can count with both hands.

 Wang Xizhi, Han Feizi, Qu Yuan, Wen Tianxiang, Sima Xiangru, Bai Juyi, Wang Anshi, etc., and the only two female masters on the list, Cai Yan and Li Qingzhao, all sided with Qin Hao.

 So, once Qin Hao launches a public opinion war, his writers will quickly turn the public opinion around and scold Liu Ji until he doubts his life.

"Hong'er, go and ask Li Qingzhao to write an article, say good things to me and at the same time scold Liu Ji. I immediately ordered Wang Xizhi and others to write a few articles."

As he spoke, a glint flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he smiled lightly and said, "I will teach Liu Ji this time what it means to kill someone and kill the heart."

Ren Hongchang looked at Qin Hao blankly: (ˇˇ)

As expected of my man.

The counterattack was written by literati. Although it could damage Liu Ji's reputation, articles alone could not repel the invading Five Route Army.

If before the start of the Hebei War, let alone 450,000 Southern Han troops to attack, even if it was 540,000, the Qin army would not be afraid at all.

At that time, the Qin army had 600,000 elite infantry and cavalry, and a mere 450,000 troops. Moreover, the troops were divided into five groups, which gave the Qin army the opportunity to defeat them one by one. But the situation now is different. 350,000 Qin troops joined 150,000 Ming troops. A total of 500,000 troops entered Hebei, while only 250,000 troops were left in the country to defend various places.

Facing an attack by a 450,000-strong army and relying on only 250,000 defenders, it would naturally be difficult to lose even an inch of territory.

After bidding farewell to Ren Hongchang, Qin Hao summoned Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen and asked, "Two military advisors, what do you think of the invasion of the Five Route Army of the Southern Han Dynasty?"

 Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen looked at each other, and Liu Bowen said first: "What was expected is that the number of troops dispatched by the Southern Han Dynasty was somewhat higher than expected."

“Another point is that the three major princes of Liangzhou came to attack at the same time, which is also unexpected.” Zhuge Liang added.

 Qin Hao didn't know that Yang Guang had guessed the truth about Yang Jian's death, so he came to take revenge because he had a grudge against him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Don't say that Yang Guang has not yet unified Liangzhou. Even if he did, he would still not be taken seriously by Qin Hao. The strength of the Sui State was still too weak after all.

“Two military advisors, our army in Jingsi and the three areas has only 250,000 troops, but the enemy coming to attack from the Southern Han Dynasty has 450,000 troops, and now the war in Hebei is still not over yet.”

As he spoke, Qin Hao looked into the eyes of the two men and asked: "If we start a war with the Northern and Southern Han Dynasties at the same time, even our army will be unable to cope.

There is chaos in the DPRK now. The ministers are asking to suspend the Hebei offensive, retain the already achieved results, and at the same time mobilize the troops back. First retreat to the Southern Han Dynasty, and then attack Hebei.

I wonder what the two military advisors think? "

 “Absolutely not.”

 Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen said at the same time, and their faces were extremely serious.

“Lord, those people don’t understand anything, and they only add to the chaos.”

There was a faint anger in Liu Bowen's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Now the war in Hebei has reached its final moment. It will definitely turn around in a month at most. If we withdraw at this time, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and all the previous sacrifices will be in vain. , there will never be such a good opportunity again in the future.

"Yes, my lord, it is indeed difficult to fight 450,000 with an army of 250,000, but we can definitely hold it within a month." Zhuge Liang said.

Qin Hao waved his hands and said calmly: "Two military advisors, don't be anxious. The Southern Han Dynasty sent troops at this time to support the Northern Han Dynasty and prevent our army from occupying Hebei.

If we withdraw our troops from Hebei at this time, wouldn't it be in compliance with Liu Ji's wishes? It is absolutely impossible for this king to do this. "

Hearing Qin Hao's words, both Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, and then Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, this attack from the Southern Han Dynasty seems dangerous, but in fact it is not dangerous."

"oh?"

Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said immediately: "Strategic advisor, please speak frankly."

“Among the 250,000 defenders in the country, 100,000 are in Bingzhou and Hetao. Among them, there are 70,000 troops in Bingzhou and 30,000 in Hetao.”

Zhuge Liang walked slowly to the map, pointed at Bingzhou and said: "In addition to guarding Yanmen Pass and Zhenbeiguan, and needing to guard against Yuanmeng, the 30,000 defenders cannot move lightly. Bingzhou can send 40,000 reinforcements to Hetao, so there are also 30,000 troops in Bingzhou. There were 70,000 troops.

The 100,000-strong coalition forces of Yang Guang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui are heading towards Hebei. General Meng Tian, ​​who is responsible for guarding Hetao, is an offensive, defensive and annexation general. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Yuan and Meng cavalry, he can advance and retreat well, so why fear a mere 100,000 soldiers? State army?

Therefore, as long as General Meng Tian, ​​who has an army of 70,000 men, is supplemented by a few fierce generals, Hetao will be as stable as Mount Tai, and Liangzhou will not be able to invade enemies along the way. "

The first update is here. I had something to do at home today and I was asked to work as a driver again. I came back very late. I was tired and sleepy, so I could only update the first one. Please forgive me. I will definitely update more tomorrow.
