Chapter 1178: Huo Qu's disease attacked Yi County

Zhenbei Pass fell, 300,000 yuan Mengtie rode south, and Hetao was in danger.

Among the generals summoned by Qin Hao this time, although generals such as Li Jing and Meng Tian joined the Jin army, they could not achieve the final victory because of this, and Qin Hao would not put all his hopes on them.

Rescuing Wang Mang as soon as possible, unifying the division, and then rushing to the aid of Hetao and completely expelling Yuanmeng from the country is what Qin Hao wants to do the most.

In the case of Wang Mang and Yang Lin joining forces before, Qin Hao was afraid of turning Sizhou into a scorched earth, so on the issue of unifying Sizhou, he considered it from the safest perspective.

Now that Yang Lin is dead, Yuwen Chengdu has surrendered, and the coalition army of the southern princes has become a lonely army.

All the bad conditions have been discharged, Qin Hao doesn't have so many worries before, so he naturally wants to solve Wang Mang as soon as possible, unify the division and two states, and then go to the aid of Hetao.

Although the 150,000 combined forces of the princes of the state were repeatedly defeated in the battles of the Qin army, and the losses had exceeded 50,000 so far, they recovered to 130,000 under Wang Mang's forced expansion.

The forces that the Qin army could use to deal with the Southern Coalition Army were: 25,000 Su Lie's army, 15,000 Xue Rengui's army, and 65,000 Bai Qi's army, totaling more than 105,000 people.

The strength of the Southern Army was still above that of the Qin Army, but its combat power was far inferior to that of the Qin Army.

Previously, Su Lie and Xue Rengui had already fought a 130,000-strong coalition army with 50,000 troops, but now the Qin army had a full 100,000 troops at its disposal, and how could the Southern Coalition Army be an opponent.

The 100,000 elite Qin army can already push 130,000 and the southern coalition army, but if Qin Hao wants to rush to the aid of Hetao as soon as possible, he must solve it in the shortest possible time.

The combat strength of the Southern Alliance Army is indeed not good, but if it relies on the city for defense, it can still drag the Qin army for a few months, but Qin Hao doesn't want to spend a few months with Wang Mang.

If it is really a few months, I am afraid that even the daylily will be cold on the Hetao, so Qin Hao wants to completely solve the merger and southern coalition army within a month, and if he wants to complete this strategic goal, it is not enough to rely on the current strength alone, so he must expand the army again.

Even if the recruits are recruited, they don't have time to train, and if they don't train, they can't form combat power, so the Liang Army prisoners of war have become a ready-made source of soldiers, and Yuwen Chengdu is naturally the most suitable candidate for the commander.

Yuwen Chengdu has a popularity second only to Li Yuanba in the Liang army, he was originally the main general of the 40,000 Liang army in Yewang City, and the Hedong Liang army brought by Yang Lin was only 10,000, as long as Yuwen Chengdu was willing, he could stand up Yang Lin at any time.

Therefore, only Yuwen Chengdu can restore these prisoners of war and reorganize them into an army in the shortest possible time.

With Yuwen Chengdu's character and temperament, it is impossible to betray Qin Hao, so these 40,000 prisoners of war are handed over to Yuwen Chengdu, and Qin Hao can be 100% assured.

"General Chengdu, I don't know how long it will take you to reorganize these 40,000 prisoners of war?" Qin Hao asked.

After pondering for a while, Yuwen Chengdu said in a deep voice: "Eight days." ”

For the 40,000 prisoners of war to mutiny, it is necessary to disrupt the establishment and reorganize, and also to screen the diehard elements of the Liang army, such a large workload is already very fast in only eight days, but Qin Hao is not satisfied with this.

"It's been too long, my father only gives you five days, and when the time comes, the 40,000 integrated army must arrive at the battlefield."

Hearing this, Yuwen Chengdu pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "No." ”

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, this person, he still has to force it, if he doesn't force it, he will never know where his limit is.

"Now that Zhenbei Pass has fallen, 300,000 yuan has entered the Hetao, so we must solve Wang Mang as soon as possible, so that we can go to support the Hetao in time.

Speaking of this, Qin Hao looked at Liu Bowen and Bai Qi below, and said, "Metropolitan Governor, it is up to you to explain the battle plan." ”

"No."

Under the expectant gaze of the generals, Bai Qi slowly walked to the big map and said: "The Southern Alliance Army still has 130,000 troops in Sizhou, Chen Qingzhi leads 30,000 troops in Hedong, Wang Mang leads 80,000 troops in Hanoi, and the other 20,000 troops are guarding each city.

If our army wants to completely solve the problem of the combined forces of the Yugoslav coalition in the shortest possible time, it must directly attack the weak underbelly of the enemy, and the biggest weakness of the combined forces of the southern alliance is grain and grass. ”

As he spoke, Bai Qi pointed to a county town in the northwest region of Hanoi on the map, closest to the crossing of the Yellow River, and said in a deep voice: "Yi County, on the surface, is unremarkable, but according to accurate information, there is a grain depot of the Southern Coalition Army here.

Although Yang Jian has stopped aiding Wang Mang's grain and grass, the grain and grass he previously aided Wang Mang was transported to Yi County through the Yellow River, and although Wang Mang has consumed most of it, Yi County still has enough grain and grass to consume for a month with the Southern Coalition Army. ”

"In other words, as long as Yixian is captured, the grain reserves of the Southern Alliance Army will be reduced by one month?" Ran Min asked excitedly, and the other generals were also excited.

A month's grain storage was nothing for the Qin army, and even if it was destroyed, it could be replenished from other places, but it was fatal for the southern coalition army.

The Southern Coalition Army has been short of food since the expansion of the army, after all, the foundation of the four southern counties is too thin, and Wang Mang's steps are too big, so it is inevitable that he will be pulled to the egg.

Wang Mang is also really powerful, this kind of almost unsolvable problem was temporarily alleviated by his hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but it was only alleviated, and it could not fundamentally solve the problem.

After Yang Jian cut off the rescue food for Wang Mang, Wang Mang's life became more and more difficult, and he could only barely make ends meet by raiding the family and borrowing food from Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng.

Now what Wang Mang hopes most is that Li Shimin can bring down Yang Jian as soon as possible, and once Yang Jian falls, Li Shimin will provide him with relief food, and the situation will naturally be much better at that time.

Wang Mang didn't know that Qin Hao had already laid out a lore for him, and he was afraid that he would no longer be able to wait for Li Shimin's rescue food.

Bai Qi has already said this, and all the generals can naturally understand that the next plan is naturally to surprise attack Yi County, so they have asked the lord Qin Hao for battle.

"Don't even make any noise."

As soon as Qin Hao's words came out, the generals didn't dare to wait for the lord to be the general, but they didn't think that it would be him who was elected this time.

"Where is Huo Bing (Huo Qu's name in this life)?" Qin Hao said in a deep voice.

Huo Qubing didn't expect the main guild to choose him at all, after all, he has neither a record nor qualifications, and he may have to stay up for several years to get the opportunity to lead the army alone, so he is standing outside the world at the end of the generals as always.

When he saw that the people around him were looking at him, Huo Quzhi couldn't help but be a little confused, and said in his heart: Why are these people looking at me?

Huo Jun, the younger brother who was standing behind Huo Quai, pushed the elder brother in front of him hard, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, the lord called you." ”

Huo Quzhi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and after looking up, he happened to meet the playful eyes of the lord, and immediately quickly stood up and hugged his fists and said, "The end will be." ”

"Huo Bing, this duke ordered you to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack Yi County, is there a problem?"

Huo Quzhi couldn't help but grow his mouth when he heard this, he knew that his opportunity had come, so he immediately endured the ecstasy in his heart and said loudly: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the lord." ”
