Chapter 1208: Joining Forces Between Qin and Ming
Chapter 1028: Joining Forces Between Qin and Ming
After hearing the news of Long Qi's withdrawal from the party, Bai Qi couldn't help frowning, and then fell into deep thought.
Long He did not have many troops in his hands, only 50,000, but it was more difficult than Wang Mang's 150,000 coalition army.
Wang Mang's 150,000 troops and the Southern Alliance Army were pieced together, and no matter the cohesion or combat power at any time, they were far inferior to the 50,000 Ming Army.
In Bai Qi's view, if Long Ji's 50,000 Ming troops were pulled out with 150,000 allied troops for a head-to-head decisive battle, Bai Qi believed that the probability of the Ming army winning was more than sixty percent, because the comprehensive quality of the soldiers on both sides was not at the same level at all.
Today, there are only a few troops that can be higher than the quality of the Ming army, such as the Qin army, and the Qin army has also declined a lot after several expansions, and if it does not rely on equipment advantages, it may not be the opponent of the Ming army.
Therefore, although Long Ji only has 50,000 troops in his hands, if it is used well, it can be used as 100,000, and the terrain of Shangdang is dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and the Ming army has no reason to spit out the good ones that are swallowed.
Bai Qi really couldn't figure out why Long He withdrew, and in the end, it could only be attributed to reasons such as the strength of the Qin army and the fear of war in the Ming army.
"That's right."
Bai Qi suddenly sounded an extremely important matter, Wang Mang had hoarded a large amount of materials in the Shangdang, so many things, with the dragon and that little force, he would definitely not be able to move away, so he hurriedly asked: "How do you deal with the materials stored by the Shangdang?" It's not going to burn all, is it? ”
If this is replaced by Bai Qi, since it can't be taken away, it must be burned and not cheap enemies, compare hearts to hearts, Bai Qi thinks that the dragon will definitely do the same.
"It must have burned, the god-dampening dragon is really a tyrannical thing." Bai Qi said bitterly.
Such a huge amount of grain and grass can live millions of people if it is used well, and if it is burned like this, even Bai Qi feels extremely pity.
"Long Ji didn't burn this batch of grain and grass, but only took away the part that could be taken, and most of it was given to our army in good condition."
"What, didn't burn?"
Bai Qi's eyes widened, he even thought that he had heard it wrong, and after asking again, he realized that Long He really didn't burn food.
"The chief general of the Ming army gave Shangdang to our army, and even left grain and grass? That's weird, isn't it? ”
Bai Qi really couldn't understand that Long Ji was also a generation of famous generals, how could he do such a thing as an enemy? Isn't he afraid that Emperor Ming will kill him for the crime of being an enemy after he goes back?
Or did Long He want to surrender to the Qin army, so he didn't plan to go back at all? But the dragon army obviously didn't have any intention of surrendering to Qin!
Bai Qi thought about it carefully, and found that the Ming army went out of the mountain this time, not only did not hinder the Qin army, but also helped the Qin army a lot, if it were not for the Ming army to make trouble in the rear of the coalition army, the Qin army would never have been able to unify and merge with the south like this.
After coming to this conclusion, Bai Qi couldn't figure it out even more, what was the purpose of the Ming army's operation? Is it just to kill Wang Shichong and clean up the portal?
Don't say that Bai Qi doesn't understand, even Long He can't figure it out, his own wise and martial majesty, what kind of trouble is going to be made this time!
It is naturally Emperor Ming's order that Long He will withdraw from the party, and Emperor Ming also took into account Long Ji's feelings, so he specially wrote a letter of a thousand words to Long He to explain his intention to do so.
Emperor Ming mentioned in the letter that hundreds of thousands of foreign cholera Hetao are now in the Hetao, and once the Qin and Jin armies are defeated, it will be a catastrophe for the whole of China.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of righteousness or subsection, it is absolutely impossible to conflict with the Qin army at this time
Even in order to let the Qin army have no worries and go north to deal with Yuanmeng with peace of mind, the newly occupied Shangdang County was also given to the Qin army, and the captured grain and grass were used as military rations to aid Qin Jin against Yuanmeng.
At the end of the letter, Emperor Ming wanted to ask Long and personally lead the cavalry and join forces with the Qin army to deal with Yuanmeng.
I have to say that Emperor Ming, from the perspective of national righteousness, would rather damage the interests of the Ming Dynasty than let Long He give up joining the party, but this point also made Long He admire in his heart.
His Majesty's consciousness suddenly became so high, which also made Long Ji feel ashamed in his heart, and at this critical moment of alien invasion, Long Ji didn't want to hold back the Qin army, so he decided to follow the order to withdraw and merge the state.
Emperor Ming's order was to send the entire Shangdang to the Qin army, but Long Ji kept an eye on it, he gave up most of the Shangdang, but he did not give up the pot.
In Long Ji's view, the Qin army and the Ming army are opponents after all, even if they can cooperate temporarily for the sake of national righteousness, but after repelling Yuanmeng, there will be a battle, and as long as the pot is in hand, at least the Qin army can be blocked in Bingzhou.
"Immediately send someone to rule Bai Qi, and say that he will consult with him before Huguan, and the two armies will join forces to fight against the foreign race." The dragon ordered.
Bai Qi and the generals of the Qin army, when they learned that Long Jixiao was going to send cavalry to Hetao to help the Qin army fight against Yuanmeng, all the generals were stunned, and Xue Rengui had a ghostly expression.
Xue Rengui and Long He are old rivals, when Qin Xiang broke out in the Battle of Hanshui, Xue Rengui led the partial army to attack the grain route of the Yellow Turban Army, and Xiang Yu sent Long He to encircle and suppress Xue Rengui, at that time, the two fought no less than ten times, and the two sides won and lost each other.
Based on Xue Rengui's understanding of Long Ji, he didn't think that Long He had this kind of awareness, so he subconsciously thought that Long He was really cheating, and tried his best to prevent Bai Qi from going to Huguan.
Xue Rengui's words also made Bai Qi hesitate, but after thinking about it again, he still decided to meet Long Ji, and when the time came, he would know whether he was cheating or sincere.
Five days later, Bai Qi came to Huguan with hundreds of light horses, and Long Qi came to see Bai Qi alone in order to show his sincerity.
Bai Qi felt Long Ji's sincerity, so he was also ready to go to see Long Ji alone, but was strongly opposed by Xue Rengui.
"Dudu, Long Ji's strength is not under the last general, it is too dangerous for you to go alone, it is better to let the last general protect you."
Bai Qi really couldn't screw Xue Rengui, and seeing that all the generals were also persuading together, he had to let Xue Rengui go with him.
Xue Rengui tensed his nerves all the way, for fear that Long He would suddenly burst out, but it can be seen that Long He only brought a sword, so Xue Rengui's vigilance gradually let go, and took the initiative to apologize to Long He.
"General Long, it is Xue who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Xue Rengui bowed, Long He raised his hand to support him, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's understandable to be cautious." ”
Bai Qi asked directly to the point: "General Long is really willing to send troops to help our army fight against Yuanmeng?" ”
"Not the general, but my majesty."
Bai Qi and Xue Rengui were extremely surprised when they heard this, everyone in the world said that women have long hair and short knowledge and small hearts, but the empress's broad-mindedness made them men feel ashamed.
