Chapter 1380: Zhuge Liang vs Zhu Yuanzhang

As far as the current situation in Xuzhou is concerned, Liu Bei only relies on one Xiapi County, and it is impossible to stop Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's unification of Xuzhou is a foregone conclusion, it is just a matter of how long it will take.

Qin Hao naturally knew this, and the reason why he did his thankless support to Liu Bei was not to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from unifying Xuzhou, but just to delay the time for Zhu Yuanzhang to unify Xuzhou.

There is no need to delay it for too long, just drag it until the Qin army recovers, and even if Xuzhou is unified at that time, the impact on the Qin army will not be too great.

Zhu Yuanzhang is no better than other princes, his subordinates are full of talents, and the army is also extremely elite, so the lineup sent to Xuzhou this time cannot be too bad, otherwise he will not help Liu Bei but will put himself in.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Hao decided to send Zhuge Liang to lead the army, after all, this time it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Shiji, and the general commander could not be an opponent at all, only an all-rounder like Zhuge Liang could fight against him.

Relying on Zhuge Liang alone may not be the opponent of Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Shiji, so Qin Hao is ready to find a partner for Zhuge Liang, and he is Zhou Yu.

Today's Zhou Yu, after Bai Qi's teaching and a series of experiences, although the five dimensions have not yet reached the peak, the commander attribute has reached the peak of 99, so he and Zhuge Liang teamed up just right.

As for Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, will new combination skills be stimulated? Qin Hao is also very much looking forward to this.

In addition to the two commanders, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, the generals were: Jiang Song, Lu Bu, Pei Xingyan, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, and Qin Yi.

Because you need to disguise your true identity this time, you can't choose a famous general.

Except for Jiang Song and Lu Bu, the other four are all generals with unknown reputations, so naturally they don't have to worry about their identities being exposed.

As for Zhuge Liang and other famous people, they can only use the disguise technique to change their appearance, so as not to let others find out the flaws.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Shiji are in charge of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Gongjin, while Luo Shixin is in charge of Jiang Song.

Luo Shixin is one of the top generals even in the Qin army, he is a strength-type general, and Jiang Song can just restrain the power-type generals, so in the Qin army, in addition to Li Cunxiao, who can defeat Luo Shixin, only by sending Jiang Song can he compete with Luo Shixin.

As for the other generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, there is Lu Bu, the king of the group, and one person is enough to fight them all, and the rest of the generals can shout and cheer on the side.

As for how many soldiers and horses were sent to rescue Xuzhou, because they had to disguise themselves as bandits, there were more troops sent, so it was fake, but if there were few, it would have no effect.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Qin Hao decided to send 20,000 soldiers and horses, so that it is no more and no less, just right.

Because he wanted to hide his identity and was a bandit, the equipment of the Qin army naturally could not be used.

In addition, crossbows and cavalry cannot appear in the army, after all, in addition to horse bandits, how can ordinary bandits have cavalry?

In the battle of the dragon war in the battle of the Expulsion, Zhuge Liang used the fire ox array to defeat the 150,000 yuan Mongolian army with less than 4,000 casualties, which can be said to have made an astonishing feat.

Qin Hao was originally going to seal Zhuge Liang as the assassin of a state, so that he advocated the military and political affairs of a state as a reward, but now it seems that he must wait for Zhuge Liang to come back before he can return the assassin history owed to him.

As for Zhuge Liang's trip to Xuzhou, whether he will be co-opted by Liu Bei, to be honest, Qin Hao is not worried at all.

People like Zhuge Liang are extremely determined, and once they recognize something, they will never give up easily, and they will never change their goals.

Therefore, since the moment Zhuge Liang joined the Jin army, he has completely lost his relationship with Liu Bei.

Even if Liu Bei turns on the crying emperor mode and cries out a peaceful tear, Zhuge Liang will never be shaken.

What's more, compared with the princes of the world, Liu Bei does not have too outstanding aspects in terms of heritage, ability, or personal charm, and Xuzhou, where he is located, is a mess.

In this life, Liu Bei's starting foundation is much better than in the previous life, at least after the Yellow Turban Uprising, he became a county guard, but because the lineup of princes in this life is too dazzling, Liu Bei has become the most inconspicuous one.

Today's Liu Bei can't even attract those ordinary talents, how can he let Zhuge Liang, who was born in the Ghost Valley, leave his promising junior brother Qin Hao and assist him as a prince with a bleak future?

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in the Hetao with Wang Meng, immediately understood Qin Hao's intentions when he saw Qin Hao's letter of assignment, after all, he was the only person in the Qin army who knew the relationship between Qin Gong and Emperor Ming.

"After the merger of Qin and Jin, he only had the capital of the overlord, and did not have the strength to dominate the world, and when the Ming Dynasty was merged into Qin, he basically had the capital to sweep the princes and dominate the world."

As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a hint of hope, and he said to himself with a light smile: "Three years to unify Hebei, seven years to determine the Central Plains, within fifteen years, the world will be unified again." ”

Zhuge Liang rescued Xuzhou, and Li Jing served as the Taishou of Beihai, and the route they took was completely different.

The Yellow River Naval Army can only be used once, and it has already been occupied by Li Jing, so Zhuge Liang naturally can't go to Xuzhou by water, not to mention that with the scale of the Yellow River Naval Army, it can't transport 20,000 troops at one time.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang could only take the overland route, crossing Yanzhou to Xuzhou, and this also needed to start from Sizhou, and with Cao Cao's consent and concealment.

Among them, the preparatory work before the dispatch of troops alone may take a month to carry out.

Therefore, after Zhuge Liang handed over all the affairs in his hands to Wang Meng, he returned to Jinyang with a team of guards, preparing to go to Luoyang with Qin Hao first, and then prepare to cross Yanzhou to rescue Xuzhou.

Qin Hao's lineup for returning to the dynasty this time was not small, in addition to the generals, officials and family members, he also brought back 100,000 troops.

With these 100,000 troops here, Sizhou will also be as stable as Mount Tai, and the surrounding princes have not dared to take the initiative to provoke Qin Hao all the way.

All the local officials and people along the way to the south were covered with flags, and all the local officials and people along the way saw off the team to return south.

A month later, Qin Hao returned to Luoyang, and Xun Hanfei, who stayed in Luoyang, naturally held a great welcome ceremony for Qin Hao.

"Again?" The little dragon girl sighed.

This is also the third time she has experienced this kind of welcome ceremony, the first experience is still fresh, but the second time is flat, and the third time not only does not feel it at all, but also feels a little bored.

"It seems that Sister Long hates this kind of welcome ceremony, right?" Liu Mu asked with a smile.

Xiaolongnu nodded and asked puzzledly, "What is the significance of such a formal scene?" It's just a waste of manpower and material resources, so why do you have to hold it every time? ”

"It's really meaningless, my husband actually hates this form, but rules are rules, even if it doesn't make sense, but it still has to be done."

Liu Mu sighed, while Xiaolongnu was thoughtful.
