Chapter 1756 The Heroic Style of Han Wu
Chapter 1754: Han Wu Xiongfeng
After finalizing the policy of aiding Liu to fight Qin, Nurhaci immediately mobilized troops from various places. While preparing to send troops, he also sent Yinhu as an envoy to the Northern Han Dynasty to lobby Liu Che.
In Nurhaci's view, doing this was enough to give Liu Che face, so Liu Che would never refuse his kindness, but he still underestimated Liu Che's dislike of foreign races as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Youzhou, Jixian, at this time Liu Che was in inner torment.
When the news of Beihai's defeat came, Liu Che had vaguely guessed the outcome of the Northern Han Allied Forces. After all, the battle situation in Hebei was too tight, and the various battle situations were closely related. The outcome of a collapse would be that everyone would lose. .
The final result was not what Liu Che expected. Not long after the defeat in Beihai, news of the defeat also came from Julu. Then Bohai fell, Yecheng fell, and the entire Jizhou was quickly occupied by the Qin army.
The only thing Liu Che didn't expect was that Han Xin's army was completely wiped out, and he couldn't even escape northern Hebei. This made Liu Che even more desperate.
The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Liang were destroyed one after another, Jizhou and Qingbei fell. The Northern Han Dynasty only had Youzhou in Hebei, with only 150,000 troops, while the Qin army had as many as 500,000. The difference in strength was really huge.
How to fight this? It must be defeated.
Such a disparity in strength almost made Liu Che lose the courage to resist, but when he thought that he had become emperor now, even if he surrendered, he would definitely not end well.
It is better to die heroically than to live in humiliation!
Besides, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty and already proclaimed emperor, if everyone surrenders to Qin Hao, how will the people in the world view the Han Dynasty?
Wouldn’t it be accelerating Qin Hao’s efforts to usurp the Han Dynasty and become independent?
Then wouldn’t he become a sinner of the Han Dynasty?
With this thought, Liu Che no longer dared to think of surrendering, and he made up his mind, determined that even if he died in battle, he would never let Qin Hao, a Han thief, have an easy time.
With the fall of Qingbei in Jizhou, the situation in Hebei gradually became clearer, and a group of surrender factions appeared in the Northern Han Dynasty, headed by ministers such as Wei You, Tian Chou, and Lu Yu.
These people are not disloyal to Liu Che, but they feel that it is impossible for the 150,000 Han army to defeat the 500,000 Qin army. If they continue to fight, it will only increase casualties, so they might as well surrender as soon as possible.
In order to strengthen his determination to resist Qin, Liu Che dismissed all his officials and imprisoned them all at one time.
The reason why he did not kill was not that Liu Che did not dare to kill, but that these people were not light in weight.
For example: Lu Yu was the youngest son of Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi was not only the backbone of the Han Dynasty, but also a giant farmer.
How could Liu Che kill Liu Che with such a background? Once killed, the hearts of the people of the Northern Han Dynasty would be dispersed before the Qin army could attack.
Even if Liu Che did not kill, under the threat of the Qin army, he could remove a quarter of the officials at once and put them all in jail. This was a very courageous thing.
Under Liu Che's iron-blooded tactics, the atmosphere of the Northern Han Dynasty changed suddenly. No one dared to surrender anymore, and they all vowed to fight Qin to the death.
Liu Che also has a strong group of advisers, including Huo Guang, Zhang Tang, Han Zeng, Tian Yu, Yan Rou and other wise advisers.
Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
Since the Lord has determined the policy of resisting Qin to the death, the group of advisers headed by Huo Guang will naturally come up with strategies to fight against the Qin army. However, the situation facing the Northern Han Dynasty is too dangerous.
With 180,000 Qin troops in Hejian, 100,000 Qin troops in Bohai, and 70,000 Qin cavalry in Daijun, the Qin troops have completely trapped the Northern Han Dynasty from three directions, preventing the Northern Han Dynasty from looking at each other.
With the total strength of Beihan District's 150,000 troops, facing such a near-death situation, even if Huo Guang and others tried hard, they could not think of a way to break the situation.
Unless there is strong enough foreign aid to intervene, there is no way to reverse it. However, the Northern Han Dynasty has been completely isolated. Looking around, except for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the northeast, no help can be found.
No one dared to ask for help from the Manchu Qing, because they all knew that Liu Che hated and even hated any foreign race. If they did, they would definitely be severely reprimanded by Liu Che. In the end, Huo Guang gritted his teeth and spoke out the strategy of uniting the Qing Dynasty to resist the Qin Dynasty, but what he got was not Liu Che's reprimand.
Liu Che seemed to be mentally prepared, so after hearing Huo Guang's words, his reaction was very calm, without any anger. After being silent for a long time, he said: "I will think about it again."
And this consideration is three days.
During these three days, Liu Che's heart was in constant torment.
He knew that he was at the end of his rope, and now only the Manchu and Qing Dynasties could save the Northern Han Dynasty. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had never concealed its ambitions for Youzhou, so how could it be so easy to get the Manchu Qing Dynasty to help with the rescue?
With the level of greed of the Manchus, it would be impossible to send troops without ceding large tracts of land.
But even if the land is ceded, it may not satisfy the appetite of the Qing Dynasty.
The essence of the method of driving a tiger to swallow a wolf is to have a way to control the tiger. Otherwise, if the tiger swallows the wolf and swallows itself, it will be meaningless.
Liu Che is undoubtedly an extreme nationalist. In his view, although Qin Hao is a Han traitor, he is also a Han. The struggle between him and Qin Hao is an internal fight between Han people. If he borrows the power of foreigners, then this fight will The fight has undoubtedly changed.
If Youzhou is destined to fall, then Liu Che would rather Qin Hao get Youzhou than Nurhachi, because Qin Hao is at least a Han, while Nurhachi is a foreigner.
With this thought, Liu Che suddenly became enlightened and announced to the court that he would never ask for help from foreign nations. If he wanted to fight, he would only rely on his own strength to decide who would belong to the world with Qin Hao.
Liu Che thought that his decision would be opposed by many people, but he did not expect that most people would look relieved. Even Huo Guang, who proposed it, had a look of reverence and relief.
Liu Che's refusal to ask for help from foreigners completely changed the atmosphere of the Northern Han court.
Previously, the Northern Han court believed that fighting Qin would lead to defeat, so it looked lifeless.
Although the odds of winning are still slim now, the Northern Han Dynasty has become united and has a posture of breaking the cauldron and sinking all boats.
