Chapter 853: Rendezvous in Luoyang
Chapter 853: Rendezvous in Luoyang
Except for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu didn't expect that he would become a deputy general along the way, after all, he had been fighting against Qin Hao before, and Qin Hao had no reason to boost his prestige.
However, Yuan Shu soon thought of a reason that he thought was very likely.
Yuan Shu thought that Qin Hao didn't like him, but he couldn't help him, so he simply 'assigned' him to another way, but fortunately, he was out of sight and out of mind.
"Hmph, Qin Hao, I won't thank you."
Yuan Shu thought so in his heart and secretly rejoiced at the same time, fortunately he reconciled with Qin Hao not long ago, otherwise the deputy general of the Southeast Road would definitely have nothing to do with himself.
I have to say that Yuan Shu's brain hole is really big, and what he thinks and what Qin Hao thinks have nothing to do with it at all.
The reason why Qin Hao let the Yuan family brothers lead the army to attack Xuanyuan alone was definitely not what Yuan Shu thought, and the real purpose was twofold:
First, with the personality of the Yuan family brothers, after truly leading the army, if they saw that the rest of the roads were triumphant all the way, they would definitely not stagnate for fear of casualties, and what Qin Hao wanted was that they needed them to capture Xuanyuan Pass for themselves.
Second, the Yuan brothers have a lot of henchmen in the coalition army, and this time Qin Hao took advantage of the situation to kick out the Yuan brothers and their henchmen, which can ensure the purity of the coalition army to the greatest extent and completely turn it into Qin Hao's words.
Qin Hao's two deep purposes, the Yuan family brothers didn't see it, but another person saw it, he was Liu Xiu.
"It's not good, if it goes on like this, Qin Hao's control over the coalition forces is getting deeper and deeper, and it's up to him to decide how he wants to handle me at that time."
Liu Xiu's brain was running quickly, wanting to think of a way to ensure his safety, while Qin Hao looked at the princes and continued, and said: "On the front line of Xuanyuan Pass on the Southeast Road, in addition to the two princes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Zhao Kuangyin, Yuan Yi, Kong Ling, the three of you also joined the Southeast Route Army, gathered 100,000 troops, and attacked Xuanyuan Pass together. ”
Zhao Kuangyin, Yuan Yi, and Kong Ling glanced at each other, they were either former officials of the Yuan family or cronies of the Yuan family, so naturally they would not refuse to help the Yuan family brothers, so they immediately said in unison: "Obey the order of the alliance leader." ”
What Qin Hao didn't expect was that as soon as the three of them finished speaking, Liu Xiu actually stood up again and said respectfully: "Qi Qi Alliance Leader, Xiu is also willing to go with Yuan Shao to attack Xuanyuan Pass, and I hope that the Alliance Lord will agree." ”
Qin Hao didn't know Liu Xiu's thoughts, he must have been afraid that it would be too dangerous to stay by his side, so he wanted to get away from his side to ensure his safety, but how could Qin Hao let him get his wish.
"General Liu Xiu, you want to make meritorious contributions, the leader of this alliance knows it very well, but now there are less than 2,000 people left in your department, even if you go to Xuanyuan Pass, it won't make much difference, so it's better to stay."
Liu Xiu saw that Qin Hao was unwilling to let him go, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, but he soon calmed down and said with a light smile: "The alliance leader doesn't know, Liu has been a friend of the original general for a long time, and I can't wait to work with him as soon as possible. ”
In the last sentence, Liu Xiu crossed over to Qin Hao and said it directly to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard Liu Xiu praise himself like this, and said directly without thinking too much: "Don't dislike it, Brother Liu came to help, it's too late for Yuan to be happy, how can he dislike it." ”
"In that case, General Liu Xiu, you should also join the Southeast Route Army."
Qin Hao said indifferently, but he was already scolding his mother in his heart.
Liu Xiu is simply a loach, as long as Qin Hao is not careful, he will get out of control, and now he directly met Yuan Shao, so that Qin Hao can't stay if he wants to.
"Forget it, as long as Liu Xiu is still in the coalition army, as the leader of the alliance, I have a chance to deal with him, so let you go for the time being."
Qin Hao thought to himself in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little tired.
While calculating Li Shimin, he also had so many foxes fighting wits and courage, Qin Hao really felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.
temporarily let Liu Xiu go, so that Qin Hao was also a little unhappy, but the Southern Route Army still had to be arranged.
"Sun Jian, I now order you to be the chief general of the South Route Army, Qin Jian to be the deputy general, and lead Liu Xuan, Lu Kang, Li Mi, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, and the princes of the Seven Routes with a total of 100,000 troops, to attack Guangcheng Pass."
Sun Jian's eyes immediately flashed with surprise, and then he stood up and shouted: "Sun Jian takes the order." ”
The other six princes also stood up one after another, and except for Liu Xuan's eyes, the others were not dissatisfied, and they all said in unison: "Obey the order of the alliance leader"
The geographical location of Guangchengguan is very important, it is a hub connecting Nanyang and Sizhou, so this road must be led by people who are at ease.
Sun Jian, as Qin Hao's father's sworn brother, must have cheated Qin Hao before the conflict of interest appeared, and Qin Hao also sent his third uncle to check and balance Sun Jian.
In addition, in order to take Guangcheng Pass, Qin Hao also made second-hand preparations, that is, he left Bai Qi and 60,000 troops.
Of course, this part of the soldiers and horses can't be moved if they can't move, after all, there are princes' soldiers and horses that are consumed, and if they still consume their own troops, wouldn't it be too stupid?
The 30,000 cavalry under the command of Qin Jian and the state must not be able to take all of them away, and the general strength of the princes of the Southern Route Army is one or two thousand, so the princes of the Seventh Route have made up an army of 100,000.
The Southeast Route Army basically belongs to the Yuan family, and the princes to which they belong are also very angry and wealthy, and five of the six princes have gathered 100,000 troops, and Liu Xiu's way is purely squeezed in to make up the number.
Qin Hao glanced at Liu Xiu, who was standing behind Yuan Shao, then glanced at the princes, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, the camp will be pulled, the troops will be divided into three routes, and if they do not enter Luoyang, they will not quit." ”
"If you don't enter Luoyang, you vow not to quit." All the princes replied in unison.
Qin Hao showed a confident smile on his face and shouted, "Everyone, let me all be able to meet under Luoyang City." ”
"Mentor Luoyang, mentor Luoyang......"
In this way, the Kwantung Coalition Army was divided into three, with a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses of the thirteen route princes, which were separated from the eastern route army and became the southeast and south route armies.
However, even so, the East Road has 23 princes and nearly 320,000 soldiers and horses, which is still the most powerful of the three routes.
And before the East Road army was about to pull out the camp and enter the Tiger Prison, Qin Hao summoned Li Cunxiao alone.
"My lord, I don't know when I will find the end?"
Li Cunxiao asked with a chuckle, and in front of Qin Hao, he had always been very relaxed, because the lord would tolerate him in everything.
Qin Hao really likes Li Cunxiao, so he has always smiled at him, but this time he has a rare serious face, which also makes Li Cunxiao feel inexplicably in his heart.
You haven't been in trouble lately, have you? Li Cunxiao thought with some drumming in his heart.
