Chapter 1564: Faction Division
A big Han, but there are three Han courts and three Han emperors, what does this mean?
Naturally, the world is in chaos.
There was once only one Luoyang court, and Qin Hao's Qin army, as the overlord of the princes, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and could barely shock the princes everywhere.
But now that there are three Han emperors, the major princes will naturally choose a court that is beneficial to them for their own interests, and they can justifiably oppose Qin Hao's orthodox court.
Therefore, from the moment the three Han emperors appeared, Qin Hao's strategy of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes was basically and not much used.
Of course, even so, Qin Hao can't kick Liu Xie here, at least after he unifies Hebei, otherwise he will only leave an excuse to be attacked.
"Report ...... The lord of Qiyu, the puppet emperor Liu Che, has appointed Han Xin as the governor of the capital, leading the 400,000 Hebei army and responsible for the war in Hebei. ”
After hearing the report of his subordinates, Qin Hao couldn't help but wrinkle, and said in a solemn voice: "This is trouble." Liu Che is worthy of being the Emperor of Han Wu, it is really not simple. ”
Qin Hao had always thought that Liu Che's behavior was relatively low-key, and in addition to the fact that his territory was in Youzhou, and he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, he was destined to pose little threat to himself.
But now it seems that Liu Che's threat is even greater than Liu Ji's.
Liu Ji supported Liu to claim the title of emperor, although it also had an impact on Qin Hao, but after all, he did not really send troops to attack, but Liu Che said that the emperor's behavior of planting bells directly hit Qin Hao's vital point.
First of all, it is the appointment of Han Xin by Liu Che as the governor of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Although Han Zhaoyan formed an alliance before, they still fought separately and fought their own battles, so even if they had a huge army, the coalition side was still defeated by the Qin army.
But now it is different, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Liang all surrendered to the Yanjing Han court and became a vassal state of the Northern Han court, and the alliance relationship is more indestructible, and it is precisely in this way that Han Xin can lead the Hebei coalition army.
Han Xinna is not inferior to Bai Qi's genius commander, and the Hebei Coalition Army under his command, and the Hebei Coalition Army, which fought separately before, can exert combat effectiveness that is by no means of a grade, so the Qin army's attack on Hebei is also destined to become more difficult.
Secondly, Liu Che was called the emperor, and the one who came directly was wantonly crowned king.
Liu Che's move seemed to be ruining the foundation of the Han Dynasty and the cholera world, but it also hit Qin Hao's soft underbelly, making Qin Jun unable to speak.
Although the relationship between the Cao and Sun families and the Qin army has always been very good, and the alliance has been maintained for several years, there is no friendship between the countries, only interests.
Gongsun Xuanyuan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Kuangyin and other princes, if they did not resist the temptation and accepted Liu Che's canonization, then the Qin army would really face a situation of enemies on all sides.
Therefore, now Liu Che's threat to Qin Hao is even above Liu Ji.
Under Liu Che's various operations, the frontal battlefield is no longer relevant for the time being, and the focus of the battle between the two sides has changed from war to diplomacy, and this has created another rule.
Although the Qin army is still overwhelming on the frontal battlefield, it is secretly full of dangers, and it is very likely that a mistake in foreign policy decisions will lead to a complete loss, or even a direct withdrawal of troops.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao's heart was extremely solemn, and at the same time, he said to himself with some joy: "Fortunately, Zhang Liang laid out the situation in advance and confined Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin to the Central Plains, so he can't get involved in Hebei's affairs, otherwise the Hebei war will definitely be complicated." ”
Under Zhang Liang's intervention, the chaos in the Central Plains has risen, Sun Jian has sent troops to Hefei, and although Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin have not yet sent troops, they are not far from the day of sending troops.
Before eating the two cakes of Xuzhou and Jianghuai, at least Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not betray the Luoyang court, because once they throw themselves into the other northern and southern Han courts, with the Qin army behind their backs, it will not be so easy to destroy the Ming Kingdom.
"The lords, Sun Jian, Duke of Wu, Cao Cao, Duke of Wei, and Zhao Kuangyin, Duke of Song, all rejected the canonization of Liu Che and Liu Ji, and wrote to the court saying that they would never betray."
Hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but smile and said to himself, "Zhang Liang's plan has worked. ”
This time Zhang Liang really amazed Qin Hao, not only single-handedly solved Liu Che's tricks, but also temporarily tied Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin to the chariot of the Qin army in an almost forcible way, at least before destroying Zhu Ming, Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin will never break away from the Luoyang Dynasty.
Without the containment of the two great princes, Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin, the situation faced by the Qin army was much better, and only the enemies in the southwest needed to be guarded.
In order to take Hebei in one fell swoop, although Qin Hao dispatched a full 500,000 troops, he also left 250,000, which was enough to block the two opposite princes from the southwest.
"Which princes have accepted the canonization of the two puppet emperors in the north and south?" Qin Hao asked.
Yang Guang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui all supported the puppet emperor Liu Bian.
As for Zhu Tianpeng and Gongsun Xuanyuan, they have not yet indicated their positions. ”
Hearing this, Qin Hao was already in his heart, roughly dividing the major camps.
First of all, there are still two camps in the world, the Han camp and the anti-Han camp, of which there are only two anti-Han camps: Zhu Di and Hong Xiuquan. The Han camp was divided into four parts: the Middle Han, the Northern Han, the Southern Han, and the Neutral.
The Luoyang Han court of the Chinese Han Dynasty represented by Qin Hao: Qin Hao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Xie, Huang Zu.
Chengdu Hanting of the Southern Han Dynasty dominated by Liu Ji: Liu Ji, Li Shimin, Liu Yu, Liu Xiu, Yang Guang, Ma Teng, Han Sui.
The Yanjing Han Court of the Northern Han Dynasty dominated by Liu Che: Liu Che, Yuan Shao, Han Xin, Song Jiang.
The neutral ones are: Zhu Tianpeng, Gongsun Xuanyuan
Therefore, the next diplomatic war between Qin Hao and Liu Che must be carried out around winning over the princes of the neutral array.
Zhu Tianpeng is also in the Han camp, and his heart is in the Ming Dynasty, and he can basically be excluded, so the only thing left is Gongsun Xuanyuan of the Liao State.
It just so happened that Gongsun Xuanyuan's Liao State was still located in Youzhou, and he could directly send troops to attack the rear of the Northern Han Dynasty, so Gongsun Xuanyuan's position has become the key to victory or defeat, and it will definitely become the target of Qin Hao and Liu Che.
"Strategist, do you think Gongsun Xuanyuan will fall to Liu Che, or will he fall to us?" Qin Hao asked Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang on the side.
After Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen glanced at each other, Liu Bowen stood up and said: "This, it's hard to say, but no matter what, we still have to send a messenger to win it over." ”
"Even if you can't win it over, you have to keep Gongsun Xuanyuan neutral." Zhuge Liang said.
Qin Hao nodded, then looked down and asked, "Who wants to be the envoy to lobby Gongsun Xuanyuan?" ”
A young scribe hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Subordinate Li Hongzhang, I am willing to go." ”
Qin Hao saw that Li Hongzhang's special attribute was diplomacy, and it was as high as 96 points, so he immediately nodded and said, "In that case, Li Hongzhang, I will send you to the Liao Kingdom." ”
"Thank you for your trust."
