Chapter 341: Hope in the Midst of Despair

In the decisive battle of the Yellow River, Li Zicheng's subordinate Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Shicheng's brother Zhang Shiyi, Fang Guozhen's brother Fang Guoying, and Chen Youliang's brother Chen Youzhi, all four balanced characters died on the battlefield.

The 30,000 Yellow Turban cavalry was less than 220,000 after the war, and even Xiang Yu's overlord cavalry was not only less than 3,000 left, which shows the tragic situation of the battle.

After that, Xiang Yu slaughtered 150,000 Han prisoners in front of Xiaopingjin in public, and built a Jingguan.

Xiang Yu used the most iron-blooded means to coerce the defenders of the pass to surrender, so as to achieve the intention of surrendering the army without a fight.

However, the methods were too tough and cruel, and Cao Cao seized the loophole and used it, which aroused the sworn resistance of the defenders in the pass.

However, the 150,000 heads were placed outside the gate like this, consuming the faith of all the defenders every day, making them fear Xiang Yu in their hearts.

As the coach of Han, He Jin no longer has the courage to face Xiang Yu.

After appointing Yuan Shao as the chief general and letting Cao Cao and Sun Jian wait for the generals, He Jin fled back to Luoyang with his personal guards.

For this waste brother-in-law, Liu Hong really can't wait to swallow him alive, this battle He Jin not only buried the 250,000 army of the Han Dynasty, but also buried the hope of the Han Dynasty to win.

If he could, Liu Hong would have been reluctant to delay He Jin, but He Jin had many henchmen in the court, and even he, the emperor, could not help it.

In the end, Liu Hong could only say a non-war crime and punish him with a fine of one year.

He Jin, who buried 250,000 athletes, had to pay a dispensable punishment of one year in the end.

Both the government and the opposition and the people are extremely disillusioned with Liu Hong, a faint king...... No, it should be despair, because no one has ever had hope for Liu Hong.

The people who were loyal to the Han family no longer expected the Han family to win the Yellow Turban, what they hoped was to hold it for as long as they could, and try to delay the time of the Han Kingdom. One

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Han Dynasty will not last long, and the change of dynasty is imminent, and the only thing they can do for the old ministers of the old dynasty is to try their best to save the Han.

……

Jujube.

When Qin Hao finished reading out the battle situation on Meng Jin's side, the generals of the whole army were in an uproar.

30 The elite of the Han army was actually defeated by Xiang Yu's 30,000 cavalry, and He Jin's reckless behavior not only buried the last hope of the Han Dynasty, but also made all the efforts of these front-line generals come to naught.

Now, even if Qin Hao can defeat Huang Chao, he can't change the overall situation.

The generals of the whole army all scolded He Jin, but what if they scolded again? He Jin is still a general, but how long can the big man last?

After scolding, everyone was extremely confused.

What kind of country are you protecting?

Is such a country really worth guarding on its own?

What's the point of fighting to the death on your own?

Everyone's performance was seen by Qin Hao, if it was usual, he would definitely be very happy, after all, even people like Liu Bei and Xun Yu, who were loyal to the Han family, were shaken, which showed that the Han was completely unpopular.

But now the situation is different, the defeat of pig teammate He Jin has completely changed the balance of strength between the two sides, even if he can win and weaken the yellow scarf, it will not help the overall situation.

Next, the Yellow Turban will definitely go all out to increase the troops to Mengjin, and the defenders of Xiaopingjin have obviously been frightened by Xiang Yu, even if Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bang are here, how long can they hold it?

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.

Is there really no power to return to the sky?

Qin Hao's trace of confusion was also seen by Xun Yu, and he couldn't help but say: "Jun Hou, quickly follow me to Yingchuan, there may be a glimmer of hope there." ”

In Xun Yu's heart, they can be confused and shaken, but Qin Hao, as the coach, must not be shaken.

Maybe it would be too cruel to put the heavy responsibility of saving the Han on a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but now only Qin Hao can save the Han.

The Hundred Schools of Thought cannot change the balance of strength between the two sides, but it is a force to be reckoned with, and Xun Yu can only try his luck so far.

When Qin Hao heard this, he smiled bitterly: "That's the only way, it just so happens that I also have something to ask the teacher." ”

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was also afraid that Qin Hao would definitely win the battle that would not be of much significance in the future, and then go to Yingchuan with himself, even if he could persuade the hundred families, I am afraid it would be too late.

Liu Bei stood up and asked with a miserable expression: "Jun Hou, where should our army go now?" According to Jun Hou's plan, even if he can successfully defeat Huang Chao, it will be ...... nothing."

Liu Bei is a diehard loyalist of the Han Dynasty, but now that he has collapsed to this point, he is also full of despair, so what he says is extremely pessimistic.

Seeing this, Qin Hao interrupted before Liu Bei could finish speaking: "Xuande's words are wrong. Even if this battle can't change the overall situation, we still have to fight. ”

Seeing that most people were extremely pessimistic, Qin Hao knew that he must not go on like this, so he immediately encouraged: "Have you forgotten? There are many factions within the Yellow Turban, and Zhang Jiao is dying and decrepit, once Zhang Jiao dies, the Yellow Turban will definitely fall into infighting. And as long as we can hold on until that time, we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory. ”

Qin Hao's remarks about saving the country should have been extremely enthusiastic, but the effect achieved was not good, and it did not arouse everyone's fighting spirit.

Yu Juluo stood up and asked, "Who knows when Zhang Jiao will die?" Besides, what does this have to do with what we do next? ”

"Of course it does."

After Qin Hao looked around, he said in a deep voice: "The elite of the Yellow Turban is limited, as long as you can defeat the elite of the Yellow Turban, at least you can hold on to it to maintain an undefeated situation." ”

Seeing that everyone was a little moved, Qin Hao continued: "After this battle, Xiang Yu's position as the successor has basically been determined, and Huang Chao, as another candidate for Zhang Jiao, will definitely not be reconciled, so he will definitely use the elite to fight our army." ”

"But if our army really defeats Huang Chao, won't this make Xiang Yu's position more stable?" Lu Bu asked, this is also a question in most people's minds.

"Yes, Zhang Jiao is dead by then, what if the yellow scarf can't mess up?" Liu Bei said.

When Qin Hao heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked rhetorically: "Do you really think that Zhang Jiao and Project Yu are the heirs, and Xiang Yu can really control the Yellow Turban Army?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, isn't that so?

The corners of Qin Hao's mouth flashed with disdain, and he said: "According to this investigation, the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal all have military power, and all of them are unruly and ambitious? Zhang Jiao can make them allegiance, because there is a mentor-apprentice relationship as a bond, while Xiang Yu is different. ”

"For the Yellow Turban Commanders, Xiang Yu can't give them a higher status, and if they are loyal to Xiang Yu, they have to hand over the power in their hands, is it asking who would be willing to do this?"
