Chapter 365: Cao Cao and Sun Jian

Tiger Prison Pass, a towering Xiongguan that has stood for thousands of years, was not broken by Zhang Jiao's hundreds of thousands of troops, but was destroyed by Qin Wen's hands.

The reason why Qin Wen did this was actually a helpless move, if he didn't cut off the road, how could he withdraw safely under Zhang Jiaohu's claws.

The Tiger Prison Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Qin Wen relied on the danger of this pass to forcibly block Zhang Jiao's hundreds of thousands of troops outside the pass, such a Xiongguan fortress, no one wants to destroy it easily.

But if the Tiger Prison Pass is in the hands of the Yellow Turban, it will be difficult to recapture the huge force of gold in the future, so it is better to burn it now.

Although Qin Wen burned the Tiger Prison Pass, he did not burn the Dagu Pass.

Of course, it's not that Qin Wen doesn't want to burn, but after burning a huge tiger prison pass, when he came to burn Dagu Pass, Qin Wen found that the materials for the fire were not enough.

In desperation, Qin Wen had no choice but to destroy the Dagu Pass and all the equipment to defend the city, and then withdrew to Luoyang with the broken troops.

Before Qin Hao left, there were still nearly 95,000 defenders in Tiger Prison Pass, but this time Qin Wen withdrew back with 750 million troops.

It can be seen that after Qin Hao led the army to leave, the battle at Tiger Prison Pass was still fierce, and nearly 20,000 people died in the defense.

When Yuan Shao defended Xiaopingjin, he had 50,000 elites and 50,000 recruits in his hands, a total of 100,000 defenders.

But until Xiaopingjin was breached, Yuan Shao only held out for more than a month, and only more than 30,000 elite soldiers were really withdrawn, and the other 70,000 defenders were either killed or surrendered.

Yuan Shao and Qin Wen, one was broken through the pass and fled back in a hurry with the remnants of the army; One was to give the enemy a heavy blow, and after taking the initiative to abandon the defense, he calmly withdrew with the main force.

When the two are compared, the gap is obviously out, and the difference is not a star and a half.

Luoyang originally had Yuan Shao's 30,000 soldiers and horses, and with Qin Wen's 70,000 troops stationed, 50,000 in Guanzhong and 100,000 in Yizhou, a total of 150,000 reinforcements, plus Qin Hao's 35,000 cavalry, Luoyang's total strength is now close to 300,000.

In the face of the Yellow Turban Army, which still has 700,000 troops, the 300,000 Han army may not be enough to advance, but under the command of Qin Wen, a famous general who defended the city, it is still possible to hold Luoyang.

But will the new commander Qin Wen really only fight a defensive battle?

Qin Hao led the army from Xuanyuan Pass to Luoyang through Guangcheng Pass, and it took less than a day.

And the first news that Qin Hao learned after entering the city was that the flames of the Tiger Prison Pass had been extinguished, and the Yellow Turban passed through the Tiger Prison and received the Dagu Pass.

What does this information mean?

It means that after the four passes in the east and northeast are lost, the Yellow Turban Army in the entire Yanzhou can enter Sili at will, and Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu will also join forces.

Thinking that the Yellow Turban alone had a new force of 700,000, Qin Hao felt a lot of pressure, and now he could only pin his hopes on Guiguzi's plan.

Otherwise. Once the Yellow Turban takes over the world, and the world is in chaos after Zhang Jiao's death, even if Qin Hao finally unifies, what he gets is just a broken endgame.

As soon as he returned to Luoyang, Qin Hao found that Luoyang today was different from before, and the entire Luoyang City was filled with a kind of sadness.

But think about it, there were 100,000 people who died in the First Battle of the Yellow River, and then 150,000 people were slaughtered by Xiang Yu, most of them were from Luoyang.

Xiang Yu killed nearly half of Luoyang's young and strong in one battle, and most of the families in Luoyang either lost their sons or husbands, it is conceivable that the people of Luoyang are simply eager for Xiang Yu, eating his flesh and drinking his blood.

Qin Wen also discovered this, so he decided to take advantage of the hatred in the hearts of the people of Luoyang to fully mobilize the people to assist him in defending the city, and he was ready to fight a people's war in Luoyang, which he was best at.

After the Yellow Turban was pulled out to Luoyang, the high-level leaders of the Yellow Turban Army would find that no matter where they were attacked before, the people cheered and took the initiative to kill officials and sacrifice the city.

What awaits them will be the wrath of the people they thought they were fighting for.

After returning to Luoyang, Qin Hao did not have the slightest rest, and then ushered in the pre-war meeting.

The initiator of the meeting was naturally the coach of this battle, Qin Hao's father Qin Wen.

The meeting hall was basically full of old faces, and after such a tragic battle, as a result, none of the princes in the original history died, and Qin Hao didn't know whether to say that they were greedy for life and afraid of death, or if they were tenacious.

But if you really want to talk about new faces, there are still a few, but the only one who impresses Qin Hao is Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger.

As the father of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and Sun Shangxiang, the bow-waisted concubine, Sun Jian is undoubtedly a middle-aged handsome guy, and he is not inferior to Qin Wen in any way.

In the face of his boss who has a lot of official positions and his own, Sun Jian has no fear, his attitude is not only neither humble nor arrogant, but he can also talk eloquently, fully express his views in front of the generals, and frantically brush up his sense of existence.

"Detect Sun Jian's five dimensions." Qin Hao ordered.

"Sun Jian has reached the peak at present, and the current five dimensions: commander 94, military force 96, intelligence 75, politics 69, and charisma 95."

Qin Hao nodded, the specific value of Sun Jian's attribute was similar to what Qin Hao thought in his heart.

And looking at Cao Cao, who took over Sun Jian's topic and continued to speak, Qin Hao ordered again: "Continue to test Cao Cao's five dimensions." ”

"Cao Cao's peak five dimensions: commander 98, force 84, intelligence 98, politics 100, charisma 98. At present, Cao Cao has not reached his peak, and the current five dimensions: commander 93, force 80, intelligence 94, politics 96, and charisma 95. ”

"Lao Cao is Lao Cao, these five dimensions are worthy, the capable minister who governs the world, and the traitor of the troubled times, this evaluation." Qin Hao said secretly in his heart, and then continued to order: "Don't stop, continue to test Yuan Shao." ”

"Yuan Shao has reached the peak at present, with five dimensions: commander 84, military force 83, intelligence 85, politics 92, and charisma 96."

Seeing this, Qin Hao shook his head and sighed: "In the battle of Xiaopingjin, Yuan Shao lost unjustly, the peak commander is only 85, how can he be the opponent of Xiang Yu, who is the basic commander 98, and also has the blessing of the commander's skills." ”

After winning such a big battle, Qin Hao estimated that Xiang Yu's five dimensions should reach the peak.

And Xiang Yu's peak commander is 98, plus the skill to break the army, the infantry commander +4 commander blessing, Xiang Yu's commander directly broke 100.

In the face of Xiang Yu, who commanded 102, Yuan Shao not only insisted for more than a month, but also brought back more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was already amazing.

"Continue to detect the five dimensions of Yuan Shu."

Speaking of Yuan Shu, Qin Hao had a conflict with him on the streets of Luoyang before, and the angry Qin Hao didn't look down on Yuan Shu at all, so he didn't test his five dimensions.

Now that he thinks about it, Qin Hao finds that he is also a little inflated, Yuan Shu is a person who has been a prince, how can he underestimate him because of what he sees.
