Chapter 732: Attack Xiangyang in the south
Chapter 732: Attack Xiangyang in the south
Except for a few generals such as Bai Qi, most of the generals were shocked when they heard Fang Xuanling's words, they didn't expect that behind Nanyang's superficial brilliance, there was such a huge crisis hidden.
Seeing this, Liu Bowen said again: "My lord, Dong Zhuo's current strength is no longer lower than my Nanyang family, and we must unite the rest of the princes as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm."
Qin Hao nodded and said, "It is inevitable that the alliance will resist Dong, but now is not the best time. ”
Dong Zhuo had just used the proposal of 'abolishing the emperor' to force Ding Yuan to fight a decisive battle with him and occupy the entire Guanzhong, and now he was busy integrating all the forces under his command, abolishing the emperor, staying in the palace at night, poisoning and killing the abolished emperor, and many other acts of death, Dong Zhuo has not even committed a single one.
Dong Zhuo has not yet become the enemy of the world, so even if Qin Hao releases a letter to beg for thieves at this time, only a few princes such as the surrounding ones will respond, and he still can't compete with Dong Zhuo head-on.
And the best time to form an army against Dong Zhuo was after Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and poisoned Liu Bian.
At that time, even if he knew that Qin Hao was issuing an edict, the princes of the world would definitely gather to respond.
Of course, these Qin Hao couldn't tell his subordinates, because they didn't have the memory of the future like Qin Hao, and it would definitely be hard to believe that Dong Zhuo, as the overlord of a generation, would take the initiative to do so many things to die.
"The top priority is to break the siege on all sides first, I wonder if the two military advisors have a clever plan?" Qin Hao looked at Liu Bowen and asked Fang Xuanling.
Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Go south to attack Xiangyang." ”
Xinye, the southernmost part of Nanyang, and the defense of Xiangyang are no longer on the same level, and if they can successfully occupy the fortified city of Xiangyang, the defense of the south of Nanyang will also be completely perfected.
Regarding the capture of Xiangyang, Qin Hao actually thought of it, but he had a lot of worries in his heart.
The relationship between the Ding and Qin families is very good, and now that Ding Yuan has just died, Qin Hao has attacked his territory, which is not a glorious thing.
"Two military advisors, if that's the case, I'm afraid that Ben Hou will fall into the mouth." Qin Hao frowned.
When the two of them heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Qin Hao was just afraid of falling into his mouth, which really proved that he also knew the benefits of taking Xiangyang, but he just lacked an excuse to send troops.
"The lord is too worried, Ding Yuanjun died because of resisting Dong, how could Dong Zhuo let go of Ding Yuanjun's family, the lord went south this time to protect orphans and widows."
Seeing that Liu Bowen could be serious and say such brazen words, everyone present was stunned.
Ding Yuan has no children under his knees, only Lu Bu is such a righteous son, where is the orphan?
The ability of the military advisor to speak nonsense with his eyes open, I am convinced. The generals secretly said in their hearts.
Qin Hao didn't think about it so much, he had also coveted Xiangyang for a long time, and what he lacked was just an excuse.
Now Liu Bowen has given Qin Hao this step, and capturing Xiangyang does have great benefits, so of course Qin Hao will not hesitate.
"Order, the whole army turned around and targeted Xiangyang City."
"No." The congregation will answer.
The 60,000 Qin troops who were originally going to attack Wuguan went to Xiangyang with Qin Hao's order.
The forces under Ding Yuan's command had almost no defenses against Qin Hao, so it was foreseeable that this would be a war without suspense.

Wuguan.
"Report ...... After the Qin reinforcements arrived, they did not come to Wuguan, but went south. ”
Liu Xiu's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said to himself: "Qin Hao didn't come to Wuguan, why did he go to the south?" Could it be that you want to strengthen Shinno's defenses in advance? ”
Yu Wencheng smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Thinking about doing so much, as long as Qin Hao doesn't come to attack Wuguan, he will go whatever he likes, even if he captures the entire Nanjun, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Wait, South-gunny?
Liu Xiu's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "It's not good, Qin Hao must have gotten the news that Ding Yuan is dead, so he wants to capture Xiangyang in front of Dong Gong, and even occupy the entire Nanjun." ”
"Rushing ahead of the lord?"
Yuwen Cheng frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "But Nanjun is not the territory of the princes in the first place?" ”
Liu Xiu glanced at Yuwencheng-Du, and said helplessly: "Ding Yuan is dead, and the imperial court is dominated by the lord, and it is not the lord's decision to make who is the new Jingzhou pastor." ”
Yuwen Chengdu opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
According to Liu Xiu's logic, Qin Hao was indeed infringing on Dong Zhuo's interests, so Yu Wencheng hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and he said in a deep voice: "We must inform Dong Gong as soon as possible, and then select and send a new Jingzhou Mu to integrate Jingzhou's forces against Qin Hao." ”
Yuwen Chengdu nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "Why didn't our army directly send troops to stop Qin Hao?" ”
After pondering for a while, Liu Xiu explained: "At present, there is nothing more important for our army than integrating Guanxi, so stopping Qin Hao mainly depends on Jingzhou's own strength. ”
"I see, I'll start writing the recitals right away."
Looking at the back of Yuwen Chengdu leaving in a hurry, Liu Xiu's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of expectation, and he whispered to himself: "Big brother, you must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Dong Zhuo defeated Ding Yuan, the three counties of Guanzhong and Hangu Pass were directly transmitted, and Huangfu Song also handed over the military power, and Dong Zhuo also embarked on the peak moment of his life.
Subsequently, Dong Zhuozheng proclaimed himself prime minister and began to prepare for the abolition of the emperor.
Dong Zhuo is not stupid, although he shouted that he wanted to abolish the emperor before, this was just a means to force Ding Yuan to fight a decisive battle with him, and there was no actual action.
However, after Ding Yuan completely controlled Guanzhong, Dong Zhuo believed that the resistance to abolishing the emperor had been minimized, so he also began to plan to abolish the young emperor Liu Bian and set up Liu Xie as the emperor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the person who established the edict of the first emperor is the Prince Association, and it is only because of He Jin's own selfishness that the prince is allowed to ascend the throne, and the miscellaneous family thinks that the Prince Association is the best candidate for the new emperor." Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice to the civil and military officials.
Huangfu Song saw that no one dared to look directly into Dong Zhuo's eyes when he saw the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then stood up and said in a deep voice: "But after all, the prince has ascended the throne and has not made any mistakes, so it is a little inappropriate to set up a new emperor, right?" ”
Dong Zhuo stared at Huangfu Song and said lightly: "What's wrong?" Does General Huangfu want to disobey the edict of the first emperor? ”
Huangfu Song opened his mouth, but in the end it turned into a weak sigh, Wang Yun wanted to stand up and refute, but it can be seen that Huangfu Song shook his head at it, so he had to leave it in place after sighing.
Seeing that no one in the Manchu Dynasty objected, Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, since no one objected, the prime minister announced that Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, would be appointed as the emperor, and Liu Bi would be renamed the king of Hongnong." ”
