Luoyang, the Champion Houfu.

"What? Your Majesty wants to crown me as Nanyang Taishou? ”

Qin Hao's eyes widened, his face in disbelief.

Liu Hong didn't want to take himself as a hostage, what is going on with this Nanyang Taishou now? Qin Hao was extremely surprised by this.

It was Zhang Rang who came to announce the decree, and after hearing Qin Hao's question, after looking around at the people behind Qin Hao, he pretended to flatter:

"Nanyang is the emperor's hometown, and it cannot be guarded by relatives of the emperor, and the concubine has made a shocking contribution this time, and the position of Nanyang Taishou is naturally the concubine's."

Qin Hao is ready to be idle for a few years, but who wants to be a hostage for a few years? Now that he is suddenly asked to be a taishou, it is simply a bright spot for Qin Hao.

After Zhang Rang finished announcing his decree and left, Wang Meng, Liu Jifang, Qiao and Liu Ye immediately smiled together and congratulated: "Congratulations to the lord, you have been awarded the title of Nanyang Taishou." ”

When Qin Wen returned to the state, Wang Meng and other ministers did not return together, according to their words, where the lord was, the courtiers were there.

Qin Hao actually hoped that they would return to the state, after all, it was too wasteful for such talents to be idle with him.

But the four of them were surprisingly tacit and firm, which also moved Qin Hao's heart.

Qin Hao forcibly suppressed the madness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, we can finally show our strengths." ”

If he was the Taishou of other counties, Qin Hao might not be so happy, but Nanyang is the center of the world, the largest, richest and most populous county in the world.

Heaven sent such a treasure land, how could Qin Hao not like it.

Qin Hao looked at the north from afar and muttered to himself, "It's time to break away from the state and develop on its own." ”

Wang Meng and the others looked at each other, and they all tacitly did not speak, they knew that Qin Hao would definitely make the most correct choice.

In the process of the establishment of the Jin Army (Qin Wen is now the Marquis of Jin), although Qin Hao's role is not inferior to Qin Wen, Qin Hao is not the founder in the end.

The Jin army has been branded by Qin Wen, and his influence is unmatched by anyone.

Although there is nothing to be ashamed of when a son inherits his father's business, what Qin Hao inherits is the entire Jin lineage.

If Qin Hao's own team is not strong enough, the court will make the Jin family dominate, which is by no means what any king wants to see.

Therefore, to be independent from the Jin army and develop his own forces independently, this is what Qin Hao must experience!

Since most of Nanyang was still in the hands of the Yellow Turban, it was naturally impossible for Qin Hao to take office alone, so the imperial court also gave Qin Hao 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Yes, that's right, it's 10,000.

It may be because Qin Hao has not yet been defeated, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are full of confidence in Qin Hao, and they don't think that the 'trivial matter' of recovering Nanyang will be difficult to win a hundred battles and win the champion Hou.

But you must know that there are more than 30 counties in Nanyang in the hands of the Yellow Turbans, and there are nearly 1,000 defenders in no county, but the dragons have no leader.

So unless the Yellow Turban takes the initiative to surrender, Qin Hao will be wiped out with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he will not be able to recover Nanyang.

When he learned that the imperial court only gave 10,000 soldiers and horses, Qin Hao was almost so angry that he scolded him, so he deliberately found the general He Jin several times.

He Jin was also tortured by Qin Hao, and there was no way, because of Qin Hao's identity as a concubine and Qin Wen's face, he finally added three thousand to Qin Hao, and then said that he would not add anything.

Qin Hao was also very helpless about this, in order not to smash his 'undefeated' signboard, he could only go to Nanyang with 13,000 soldiers and horses first, and write to his father for help on the other side.

When Qin Wen left Luoyang, he took everything he could and couldn't take with him, after all, the 200,000 Huns going south was not a joke.

So much so that by Qin Hao's side in Luoyang, there were only the four major staff left, and the three pro-guard generals Xu Chu, Jiang Yu and Xiong Kuohai.

After receiving his son's letter asking for help, Qin Wen was also quite concerned.

After all, the land of Nanyang is much richer than the nine counties of Bingzhou, and if Qin Hao can completely conquer Nanyang, the benefits of this in the future troubled times will naturally be immeasurable.

In order to help Qin Hao quickly open up the situation, the Jin army is the elite in the true sense this time.

In terms of the army, a total of 7,500 elites were dispatched, including: 2,000 heavy cavalry camps that have been replenished and expanded, 3,000 light cavalry tiger camps, 1,500 heavy infantry camps, and 1,000 archers and arrows who took the initiative to ask for help.

In terms of generals, there are Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Ran Min, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Yu Ban, Qin Wu, Qin Zheng, and Mu Guiying, a total of 11 generals.

Since Temujin had not yet withdrawn from the army, Yang Ye and other generals of the Yang family, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Zhao Yun, Guan Sheng, Xu Huang, Qin Yong, Qin Liangyu and other generals all stayed.

As for Wenchen, considering that there was no shortage of Wenchen around Qin Hao, not only did he not send Wenchen south, but he also intercepted Fan Zhongyan, who originally belonged to Qin Hao's lineage.

It can also be seen from this that even Qin Wen is also very short of literati in his hands.

Nanyang, Wancheng, Taishoufu.

"Meet my lord."

Bai Qi and the others saluted in unison, and this 'lord' also meant that Qin Hao would be separated from Jin and become a family from now on.

Qin Hao looked around at the generals in the hall, and a sense of pride spontaneously arose in his heart, these people are all my subordinates.

"No need to be polite, you have worked the boat."

"Thank you, Lord."

Gao Shun stood up and reported: "Young Duke Qiyu, I will go south this time, and bring a total of 5,000 elite cavalry and 1,500 elite foot soldiers......

Mu Guiying seemed to be afraid that Gao Shun would forget him, so he hurriedly added: "There are also a thousand elite crossbowmen." ”

A wry smile flashed on Gao Shun's face and said, "Yes, there are still a thousand crossbowmen." ”

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, seeing that his father was looking at other people's fathers, it was really his own father.

Among the 13,000 troops given by the imperial court, there was not even a single cavalryman, and his father sent 5,000 to himself at one time.

You must know that the total number of cavalry in the imperial court is not 10,000 now, and the terrain of Nanyang is dominated by plains, and 5,000 elite iron cavalry is more than enough.

"Lord, on the eastern side of Runan, Cao Cao's Yuanshu coalition army has already fought with Li Mi, and our top priority should be to recover the remaining thirty or so counties in Nanyang first." Liu Jijin said.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable, but where should we start first?" Qin Hao asked,

The 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but Qin Hao's starting capital, naturally did not want to suffer too many casualties, so the recovery of Nanyang was naturally able to outwit and never attack.

Liu Ye, who usually doesn't talk much, was the first to stand up this time, and said calmly: "I think the lord should first test the attitude of the county orders, and then focus on cracking down on the diehards of the Yellow Turbans. ”
