Chapter 355: Regrouping

"What?"

After hearing the news, Liu Hong didn't react at first, and after being stunned for a while, he hurriedly snatched the warrant in Zhang Rang's hand, and was ecstatic after reading it.

"Heaven will not die, my big man!"

The news couldn't be more timely.

Since the war with the Yellow Turbans, the Han Dynasty has always lost more and won less, and only Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Qin Wen caused great damage to the Yellow Turbans.

Qin Hao did hit the Huns hard at Yanmen Pass before, but after all, it had nothing to do with the Yellow Turban, and now Qin Hao defeated the Yellow Chao head-on, which was by no means inferior to any of the three generals.

The Yellow Turbans, which numbered more than one million people, had consumed more than 200,000 troops in the war with the Han army until now.

Now Qin Hao has destroyed more than 100,000 in one battle, which is equal to half of the total combat exploits of all other generals.

If the battle in front of the Tiger Prison Pass is also counted, the total number of enemies killed by all the generals of the Han army is only equal to Qin Hao alone.

Qin Hao is neither a governor nor a general, but he unknowingly led this war, and I have to say that this is a miracle.

After the Battle of Kaifeng, the total number of the Yellow Turban Army has dropped to 700,000, although it is still huge, but this is a great encouragement to the demoralized Han Army, which tells the bottom Han Army that the Yellow Turban is not invincible.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the horse is really an immortal!"

The ministers patted Qin Hao's ass one after another, and all kinds of praises poured out.

However, what is a little strange is that not long ago, because Qin Hao privately led the army to fight, it was also these people who scolded Qin Hao for 'misleading the country'.

Such a big contrast is like slapping yourself in the face, but these people suddenly don't know, and their skin is extremely thick.

War, if you win it, you are a hero, and if you lose it, you will mislead the country, it's so realistic!

"Your Majesty, with the victory of the champion Hou, our cavalry will be liberated, so it will be more certain to hold Luoyang." Wang Yun stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Reasonable." Liu Hong smiled and nodded, and then said: "Immediately give an order, order Qin Hao to rush to Luoyang at full speed, and make sure that Luoyang is not lost." ”

Qin Hao didn't even dare to listen to his father Qin Wen's orders, so Liu Hong was also afraid that Qin Hao would make some more moths, so he hurriedly issued a holy decree.

"May I ask Your Majesty, after Qin Wen retreats to Luoyang with the army, who should be the main defense of Luoyang?" Yang Biao stood up and asked.

This issue is very crucial, if it is not clearly raised, it will not be good in case Yuan Shao and Qin Wen have different opinions and thus have a conflict.

"Who does Aiqing think is more suitable?"

Liu Hong actually had the answer in his heart, but what he said would definitely cause the Yuan family to be dissatisfied, so he kicked the ball to Yang Biao.

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that the champion Hou also had a conflict with General Yuan Shu, so if Yuan Shao is allowed to be the chief general, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the champion Hou. General Qin Wen is the biological father of the champion Hou, and he has not yet been defeated, so Weichen believes that he is the best candidate for the main general. ”

Yang Biao is also a human being, and while supporting Qin Wen as the main general, he also found a reason, and pushed the reason for opposing Yuan Shao as the main general to Yuan Shu, and there was no flaw in his speech.

Yuan Feng was obviously not satisfied with this result, and said a little unhappily: "Lord Yang, what do you mean by this?" As long as His Majesty makes an order, Qin Hao's kid still dares to resist the decree? ”

Yang Biao smiled indifferently and said, "Does the captain think that the champion Hou will not dare?" Champion Hou was a young man, and he made such a great achievement, even if he resisted the decree, he would not be guilty of death, so what do you think he would not dare? ”

Yang Biao didn't say anything heavier, after all, Qin Hao was really crazy but he didn't even recognize his father, how could you expect a holy decree to restrain him.

Yuan Feng was speechless for a moment, he naturally understood the reason, but he was unwilling.

"What Aiqing said is reasonable, with General Qin Wen's record, it is more than enough to serve as the commander, so he ordered General Qin to serve as the chief general of Luoyang and lead the 200,000 troops in Sizhou to fight against the Yellow Turban rebellion."

Liu Hong's words were light-hearted, but in fact, he was telling Yuan Feng, your son lost the battle, what qualifications does he have to compete for the main general?

Yuan Feng naturally heard the meaning of Liu Hong's words, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, but he was helpless.

asked Yuan Feng not to object, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked: "By the way, how long will it take for the 100,000 reinforcements from Yizhou to arrive in Daluoyang?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is about half a month." He entered the station and exited the road.

"Well, with General Qin's ability to defend the city, coupled with the nearly 200,000 troops in Sizhou, Luoyang is as stable as Mount Tai, and when the 100,000 troops arrive, they will have the capital to turn the tables."

Liu Hong said to himself, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, until the ministers couldn't hear it.

"No, if we want to implement that plan, 300,000 troops are not safe, and I need more troops."

Liu Hong's eyes suddenly became sharp, he looked at He Jin with a serious face, and asked, "General, can you continue to recruit soldiers and horses?" ”

He Jin looked bitter and said: "Your Majesty, if you continue to recruit, even if the people can afford it, the court can't afford it, and even if you recruit new soldiers, it won't do much except defend the city!" ”

If it was the previous Han, there would naturally be no problem in continuing to recruit soldiers, but at this time, the only people who could directly accept the control of the Han were Si Liang and Yijing Wuzhou.

And the barren self-sufficiency is still insufficient, and Sizhou has also become a battlefield, so the Han Dynasty has relied on the support of Jingyi and Jingyi to hold on to the present, so naturally he can't afford it.

And the reason why the Yellow Turbans can support so many troops is naturally that the Yellow Turbans do not pay military salaries at all.

Most of the Yellow Turban Army were followers of the Taiping Sect, and in order to overthrow the great cause of the tyrannical rule of the Han Dynasty, it was enough to give food, and what military pay did they need?

Since conscription didn't work, Liu Hong had to think of ways from other aspects, so he asked again: "Can the Liangzhou garrison be recruited?" ”

Zhang Wen, who had suppressed the rebellion in Liangzhou, suddenly changed his complexion, and hurriedly stood up against it: "Your Majesty, don't, although the combat power of the Liangzhou army is strong, but Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and other rebels are also extremely fierce. ”

The strongest unit in the Han army was the border army, and the strongest in the border army was recognized as the Liangzhou army.

The mixed situation of Han and Hu in Liangzhou is complicated, almost every year is a rebellion, and wars are almost commonplace in Liangzhou, and this also makes Liangzhou and the army strong.

The Han Dynasty's military investment in Liangzhou is the largest, but it still has not fundamentally solved the problem, and the situation of the Han Dynasty being poor and weak is very important because it is dragged down by Liangzhou.
