Chapter 1844: Information Explosion

Will the Qin army, which has the treasures of Tiangong and has already occupied Jizhou and Qingbei, be short of money?

In fact, it is still lacking.

Although there is a lot of wealth in the treasure of Tiangong, it can't stand the pace of the development of the Qin army too fast, and the places that need to spend money are even more tricky, and now they have been consumed.

The capture of Jizhou and Qingbei destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Liang, and destroyed many Hebei families, and the Qin army naturally seized a lot of money.

However, although the Qin army captured a lot of money, the losses in the Hebei War were also huge.

In this battle, the Qin army lost a total of 150,000 troops, and this required a pension.

The pension of the Qin army is already high, and the pension of the 150,000 army is even more astronomical.

Even if the Qin army seized more money in Jiqing, it was only barely enough to pay the pension, but in addition to the expenditure of the pension, the land of the thirteen counties in Qingbei of Jizhou was the place where the money needed to be spent was gone.

Nowadays, the finances of Hebei and Qingdao are already in a state of making ends meet, which shows that before the development of Hebei and Qingdao, they have to rely on blood transfusion to support them.

At this time, selling some useless ordnance to Wang Mang can undoubtedly ease the financial pressure on the two prefectures.

Qin Hao had already overestimated Wang Mang's financial resources as much as possible, but he didn't want to underestimate it, he thought that Wu Yong would purchase ordnance to equip an army of 20,000 at most, but he didn't expect Wu Yong to directly purchase 30,000, and also threatened that this was only the first batch, and he would make a second and third military purchase with the Qin army in the future.

The ordnance captured by the Qin army in Hebei was even enough to equip an army of 400,000, and so much equipment of the Zhao and Han systems was of no use to the Qin army at all, because the equipment of the Qin army was more excellent and sophisticated.

With such a huge amount of ordnance, even if Qin Hao was willing to sell it all to Wang Mang, it would be impossible for Wang Mang's family to swallow it alone, so Qin Hao had the idea of selling ordnance to the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.

Although the armaments of the Han Zhao system are not as good as those of the Qin army, they are all first-class equipment in the world, and it is a pity to recast them, and it is the best plan to sell them for development money.

The war between the Central Plains and Jiangdong intensified, and the forging of the equipment of the Wei, Song and Wu Kingdoms could no longer keep up with the consumption of the war, and there was a shortage of equipment in the newly recruited army.

Of course, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were all allies of the Qin army, and selling ordnance to their own allies naturally couldn't be as expensive as selling it to Wang Mang.

and the military procurement of the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu, Qin Hao handed it over to the future father-in-law Zhen Yi to handle.

Born in a family of merchants, Zhen Yi is a leader among merchants, Qin Hao believes that Zhen Yi will strive for the greatest interests for the Qin army while considering the relationship between the two countries.

Zhen Yi, who had only been a county prince for a month, was suddenly dismissed, and he was still a little apprehensive at first, thinking that the lord was dissatisfied with him, for fear that it would affect the marriage of the Qin and Zhen families, but he didn't expect that the lord handed over the military purchase of 400,000 troops to himself, which was obviously to reuse his own rhythm.

After realizing this, Zhen Yi immediately puffed up and prepared to work hard in his new position to repay the kindness of the lord and son-in-law.

Wu Yong's envoy was not successful, but he barely completed the task and brought back a large number of ordnance to Wang Mang.

Qin Hao's side immediately convened Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Bai Qi, Li Jing, Han Xin, Zhang Liao, and other generals to hold a meeting after Wu Yong left, and began to discuss his next strategy for Youzhou.

From the fact that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already prepared for the front-line transfer of troops from Sanhan, Zhang Liang analyzed a lot of important information.

"At present, Youzhou has 180,000 troops of the Northern Han Dynasty, 200,000 Manchu Eight Banner Army, and 70,000 Han troops of Wu Sangui and Chen Baxian, the total strength of the three sides has reached an astonishing 450,000.

If the Northern Han Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can really abandon their previous suspicions and cooperate sincerely, relying on these 450,000 troops and the geographical advantages of Youzhou, our army will definitely have to fight a tough battle if it wants to occupy Youzhou.

But even if there is already an army of 450,000, the Manchus still want to transfer troops from the front line of Sanhan, does the Manchus really want to fight our army to the end? Of course not, and Nurhachi would not be so unwise. ”

Zhang Liang's eyes were full of wisdom, and he said confidently: "There is only one possibility that Nurhachi can still transfer troops from the rear to Youzhou under such circumstances, that is, the Manchu Qing and the Northern Han have not reached an alliance, and Nurhachi is preparing to fight against our army alone after the defeat of the Northern Han." ”

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Liao looked incredulous and retorted: "With the current military strength of the Northern Han Dynasty, there is only one way to fight against my Great Qin alone, how can Liu Che decide to refuse the help of the Manchu Qing in this case?" ”

"If it's someone else, it's really hard to say, but if it's Liu Che, it's really possible to refuse the help of the Manchus."

Qin Hao's eyes flashed with admiration for a while, and he looked at Han Xin and asked, "Han Xin, you have the most contact with Liu Che, let's talk about it." ”

"No."

Han Xin stood up and said in a deep voice: "Although Liu Che is Liu Yu's brother, he is a concubine, born of a concubine, and his status in the Liu family is not high, and his biological mother died at the hands of Wu Huan, which made Liu Xie hate the foreign races in Youzhou to the core, and once threatened to kill all the Wu Huan foreign races.

Wuhuan is the predecessor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so for Liu Che, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and him have a mother-killing feud, perhaps because of this, Liu Che would rather die than ally with the Manchu Qing. ”

After hearing Han Xin's words, the generals looked at each other, obviously not expecting that Liu Che, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, still had such a past.

Guo Jia stood up and said: "My lord, it is naturally best for Liu Che to refuse to join forces with the Manchus, and it will be effortless for our army to clean up the Northern Han."

Even if Liu Che and Nurhachi are in alliance, with the current strength of our army, the chances of winning with one enemy and two are still very high.

Now that it is close to September, if it is delayed any further, the weather will become more and more cold, and it will not be suitable for the large army to fight, so our army must completely eliminate the Northern Han before winter. ”

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, now that our army has been repaired, it's time to send troops to Youzhou."

Qin Hao nodded and ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army will ......"

Before the words fell, a spy suddenly came to report: "Report...... Qi Yu lord, Hangu Pass fell, 140,000 Tang soldiers came to the wild king city. ”

"What?"

The generals exclaimed, Hangu Pass is the top Xiongguan, and with Li Cunxiao in charge, how could it fall so quickly?

Qin Hao obviously didn't expect this, and with a move in his heart, he turned on the system prompt that had been closed for three days.

[Ding Dong, Li Shimin......]

[Ding Dong, Li Cunxiao......]

[Ding Dong, Li Yuanba......]

……

Thousands of system prompts all appeared in Qin Hao's mind at once, all of which were all kinds of them, and they were dazzling, and Qin Hao couldn't see them at all.
