Chapter 342: Risking Your Life

Hearing Qin Hao say this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

No one thought that just like the yellow scarf in the middle of the day, there was such a huge hidden danger inside.

And if you stick to Qin Hao's logic, this is almost a war that must be won.

Seeing that hope was burning in most people's hearts again, Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "So even if this battle with Huangchao is of little significance, we still have to fight, this is for the final victory." Do you still have any objections? ”

"At the disposal of the prince." Everyone shouted in unison.

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Where is the encirclement of the Yellow Nest now?" Are there any weaknesses? ”

Wei Chigong, who was in charge of reconnaissance, immediately stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Young Master Qiyu, the entire Chenliu County is basically surrounded by the Huangchao army, and there are only 50,000 troops in the northern Xiangyi County, which is the weak point in the encirclement......"

"Let's talk about the South."

Before Wei Chigong finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Qin Hao, although Wei Chigong didn't understand Qin Hao's thoughts, but he still honestly reported: "The Yongqiu generation in the south has roughly 100,000 troops, and it is ......"

Hearing this, Qin Hao slapped the table and said decisively: "Just break through from the Yongqiu generation in the south." ”

"Huh?" Everyone had puzzled expressions.

Obviously, there are few people in the north and many people in the south, but why break through from the south?

"Now Huang Chao has 400,000 troops at his disposal, so it is impossible to leave such an obvious flaw, Xiangyi is definitely a trap to lure our army to break through, and I will give Huang Chao the opposite way to escape." Qin Hao said lightly.

As soon as the generals heard this, they couldn't help but worship this young man who had not yet been crowned, Qin Hao was so thoughtful, no wonder he was the champion and he was not.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qin Hao immediately ordered: "Now order Lu Bu as the main general, Yue Fei and Qin Qiong as the deputy generals, and lead all the soldiers and horses to break through in the direction of Yongqiu." ”

Lu Bu and the other three generals stood up, and responded with a solemn face clenching their fists: "No! ”

Seeing this, Qin Hao emphasized with some unease: "Remember, don't fight with the Yellow Turban Army until the last resort, use sports warfare to get out of the encirclement first, and then retreat to Kaifeng, and I will rush back before the decisive battle." ”

The reason why it turned around and turned back to Kaifeng was because it was the best place for a decisive battle, which could maximize the cavalry advantage of the Han army.

At that time, Huang Chao must come to fight Qin Hao head-on, otherwise he can only watch Qin Hao lead the army back to Xuanyuan Pass.

If that's the case, Huang Chao will not be able to compete with Xiang Yu, of course, the end of losing will be even worse, and Huang Chao will have no chance at all.

"No." The three generals answered again.

In addition to breaking through, Qin Hao had another choice, that is, to continue to attack eastward to break Chen Liu.

However, at present, Chen has nearly 50,000 defenders, and Qin Hao's troops are all cavalry, and there is no certainty that they can be captured, so it is better to break through in time.

"Zhao Yun, Ran Min." Qin Hao ordered again.

"The end will be."

Zhao Yun and Ran Min stood up.

"The two of you will go to Yingchuan with Ben Hou."

"No."

Seeing this, Qin Zheng stood up and said: "Fifth brother, now that the breakthrough is imminent, do you really want to break away from the army and go to Yingchuan at risk?" ”

In Qin Zheng's opinion, Yingchuan is the territory of the Yellow Turban, and it is obviously not a wise move for Qin Hao to go at this time.

"Hmm." Qin Hao nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "This matter is more important than breaking through, so I have to go there in person." ”

Seeing that Qin Hao didn't listen to persuasion, Qin Zheng had no choice but to say: "Then it's better to bring more followers, just in case." ”

"No need, no matter how smart Huang Chao is, he would never have thought that Ben Hou would break away from the army and go to Yingchuan at this time. And with the support of Zhao Yun and Ran Min, it is enough, and it is easier to be exposed when there are many people. ”

……

With the strength of Chen's remaining defenders, Qin Hao would never be able to break through, so Huang Chao expected that Qin Hao would break through.

Huang Chao deliberately deployed weak troops in Xiangyi in the north, just to lure Qin Hao into being fooled, but what he didn't expect was that his trap would be easily seen through by Qin Hao, and Qin Hao broke through to the opposite place instead.

After learning about this, Huang Chao couldn't help but regret that he didn't decisively shrink the encirclement.

If Huang Chao contracted the encirclement when Qin Hao and Lu Bu had just joined him, even if he couldn't wipe it out, at least half of it could be left.

It is precisely because he wants to pursue perfection that Huang Chao missed an opportunity to hit Qin Hao hard, and although he regretted it in his heart, it was not too late to make amends.

A cold light flashed in Huang Chao's eyes, and he coldly ordered: "Pass the order, order all the cavalry to intercept it, and be sure to slow down the speed of the Han army." ”

The total number of Yellow Turban cavalry was only 50,000, Xiang Yu had 30,000, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry in Tiger Prison Pass had been defeated by Qin Hao in the first battle before 6,000, and the remaining 14,000 cavalry were all sent to Huangchao by Zhang Jiao.

"Brother Huang, the cavalry of our army is not as good as the Han army, not to mention that the total number of cavalry in our hands is less than 20,000 now, if we really intercept nearly 50,000 Han cavalry, I am afraid that this manpower will not be able to stop it!" Li Mi, who is the deputy general of Huang Chao, persuaded.

Wang Bodang, the only general under Li Mi, was also temporarily transferred to Xiang Yu, so he could only go out in person, and was assigned by Zhang Jiao as the deputy general of Huang Chao in this battle.

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it." A hint of determination flashed in Huang Chao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The cavalry on the Luoyang side has been defeated by Xiang Yu, and as long as Qin Hao's cavalry can be completely annihilated, the Han army will have no cavalry available." So as long as you can hold off the Han army, even if all the cavalry is gone, it's worth it. ”

Li Mi naturally knew the meaning of letting the Han army lose all its cavalry, but he preferred to believe that this was an excuse that Huang Chao didn't want to lose to Xiang Yu.

However, in this battle, Huang Chao did hold up to a great risk, and it didn't matter if he succeeded or failed, it didn't matter to Li Mi, so he didn't say anything more.

……

Just when Huang Chao sent troops to intercept Lu Bu, Qin Hao had already rushed to Yingchuan.

Qin Hao, Zhao Yun and Ran Min all have good horses, and in order to ensure the speed of the journey, Qin Hao borrowed Qin Hu's mount for Xun Yu to ride, so he could arrive so quickly.

Yingchuan is named after Yingshui, belongs to Yuzhou, governs Yangzhai, has 17 counties under its jurisdiction, borders with Yansi Jing three states, and is the place where the four states meet.

Yingchuan County is also the capital of the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in China's history, so it is also one of the origins of Chinese civilization.

It also has a lofty position in Yingchuan, the Han Dynasty, because Yingchuan College, the literary holy place that people in the world yearn for, is in Yangzhai.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion spread throughout the Kanto region, and the damage to all the counties in the Central Plains was great, but only Yingchuan County was the least affected, which shows that the Yellow Turbans, whether it is Confucianism or a hundred schools, are still in awe.
