220 Gains and losses
In November 246 of Daning, Zhong Zhenhua merged with Qi Yunji's Kuizhou army in Qi Yunhai, and Zhou Qun was furious, but Zhong Qi's strength in Kuizhou Road had surpassed that of Hanfu, and Yiling's naval army could block the Yangtze River at any time and cut off its back road, so he had to retreat to Shu to join the main force.
Huang Yao used the familiar terrain to hold Bazhou for nearly half a year, suffered heavy losses, nearly 200,000 troops died and scattered, and when he withdrew to Kaizhou to see Zhong Zhenhua, his troops were less than 80,000, which was still Lin Jian'an's battle line after capturing Bazhou Dazhou, and the army was really insufficient, otherwise the whole army could be destroyed.
The civil war in the south came to an abrupt halt after less than half a year, and Li Chongshan was ready to go south again, but he had to pause.
"Lin Jianyue is really fearless, such a big thing happened in Jiangnan, his main force in the Central Plains was actually motionless, and I had to take a look."
Balsifu is already very old, he feels that he has a little trouble even speaking, but he has not yet found his suitable replacement, Qin Zhenghao is suitable, but unfortunately he is a Han, and now he can only continue to hold on, he can't watch the already crumbling Dameng Empire continue to weaken, he has to do his last part.
"Your Majesty, according to the report of the Eagle Hunter Guard, the emperor in the south seems to have been placed under house arrest by his ministers, although Lin Jianyue has not yet ascended the throne, but the old minister is also fast, Lin Jianyue is a talented person, at most five years, the Han land south of the Yellow River will be pacified, and at that time, we Dameng will not face a million Han army."
Li Chongshan knew what Balsifu meant, but he couldn't retreat, not to mention what would happen to his personal throne, where would the glory of the Golden Family be? To put it mildly, it can barely maintain a huge empire now, and many times it relies on the invincible deterrence of the Golden Family. It's hard to ride a tiger.
"Taishi, Master Qin has reported to me, Lin Jian'an's main force has gone south to Shu, he decided to sneak attack Dasan Pass in a roundabout way, I agreed, as long as Dasan Pass is re-occupied, and then gradually open up Qinfeng Road, there is still a lot to do, Taishi don't have to worry too much."
Balsif sighed: "Even so, it's just a delay of some time, Lin Jian... Lin Jian'an, right, with the rich Shu land, the threat will be greater in the future. Your Majesty, the Hetao rebellion is getting worse and worse, Hachi has just gone, and it will take a long time to rebuild the army, and it will not be much. By the way, Your Majesty, Hachi has sent people to complain to most of them, saying that Qin Zhenghao Zahemin is relying on the army in his hands, constantly squeezing the large and small tribes of the Hetao, and he can't live anymore. The old minister thinks that Hachi is exaggerating, but there must be something about this, and His Majesty can send someone to Guanzhong to reprimand Qin... Zahmin, don't be too demanding, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a large-scale rebellion, which will be very detrimental to the future. ”
Of course, Li Chongshan knew what Qin Zhenghao and them were doing, and this was also what he wanted to see in private.
Li Chongshan was a little frustrated, and he had to make some preparations for returning to the grassland in the future.
In this attack on Dasanguan, Qin Zhenghao did not go in person, but he did not let Zahemin go, but chose Dontapu to lead the cavalry to take a detour, and Wei Qi was the commander of the Han army to threaten Dasanguan head-on.
Who is Dontap? It is a Menghu man who has a different mind. Who is Wei Qi? He is Qin Zhenghao's confidant general, and he is a Han man who still cherishes righteousness.
Qin Zhenghao must cultivate the leading generals he can control as soon as possible, so that they can make more military achievements.
The army of five routes! Qin Zhenghao had never been so excited and excited, and the restoration of Han Land was just around the corner.
Cao Baojin, who was guarding the Dasanguan, was very anxious, he only had 60,000 troops in his hands, but the Menghu siege soldiers under the Dasanguan City exceeded 80,000, and there were no less than 30,000 cavalry to assist, if he stuck to the Dasanguan, he was not afraid.
But he has received the news of the scouts, there have been Menghu's stragglers near Zhouzhou, Cao Baojin knows that this is Qin Zhenghao's plan, thousands of miles of detour tactics, no soldiers in his hands, especially cavalry, no matter how strong he Cao Baojin is, he can fight again, but he is powerless, and the reinforcements are thousands of miles away, and it is too late.
In December 246, Menghu in Guanzhong recaptured Dasanguan, and the Han government lost the bridgehead to attack Guanzhong and the most important barrier on the Qinfeng Road.
Fortunately, Cao Baojin had outstanding ability, took the initiative to abandon most of the northeast area of Qinfeng Road, gathered a large number of troops, and relied on the dangerous pass city to barely be able to confront Guanzhong, and the Hu army in Guanzhong had no desire to continue the attack.
Qin Zhenghao strolled to Qiyun's room, nominally Qiyun was Qin Zhenghao's concubine, young and beautiful, but in fact, Lin Jianyue sent to get in touch with Qin Zhenghao, an important leader of the Dieyi Division.
Qiyun brought Qin Zhenghao a cup of hot tea, but did not hand it to him, but said with a cautious face: "Duke Qin, what is the relationship between Lin Jian'an and His Highness, I guess you are also clear, if you do this, how will you deal with yourself in front of Your Highness in the future?" Don't blame me for being too talkative, it's Liu Changshi, who has followed His Highness for so many years, is His Highness's most trusted confidant and adviser, and he is also cautious when facing things related to Lin Jian'an, you ......"
Qin Zhenghao smiled indifferently: "My biggest wish in life is to expel the Tartars and restore peace to the world, even ignoring my family, let alone myself?" The purpose of seizing Dasan Pass is twofold, one is not to allow Lin Jian'an to have the opportunity to get involved in Guanzhong, Lin Jian'an gets Shudi, and his power will inevitably expand rapidly, if he gets Guanzhong again, he will shed more blood when he fights for the world in the future. The second is that I must let some people quickly establish meritorious deeds and control more military power, so that they can cooperate with His Highness's northern strategy. Qiyun, I'm old, no matter how angry His Highness is in the future, I won't be angry, and I won't be resentful! ”
Qiyun admired Qin Zhenghao very much, and naturally didn't want him to be treated unfairly in the future, let alone have any mistakes with such a heroic figure with great achievements, and just as he wanted to say something more, Qin Zhenghao waved his hand and said: "Time is pressing, Jiangnan Yi'an, it is the time for His Highness to attack in a big way." But Guanzhong is not ready, through this battle, Li Chongshan will trust me more, the oppression of Hetao will be more justified, and His Royal Highness's people can also ascend to the throne smoothly as soon as possible. Qiyun, if you want to believe in Your Highness, you can only be Your Highness's dominance of the world. His Royal Highness is a person who values affection and righteousness, which is very good, so there are some things that we must take the initiative to do, push to do it, and if we don't do it, we can't do it, what is a mere life for the whole world? ”
In January 247 of Daning, Qin Zhenghao was crowned as Taifu, deputy envoy of the Fujun Academy, and governor of political affairs.
Cao Baojin, who was in Qinzhou, watched Gao Liang lead about 50,000 cavalry to hurry over, but Lin Jian'an didn't have a word for him, and he was worried.
However, the counterattack on the Great Scattered Pass is still out of reach, and it seems that the Jie Shuai is very dissatisfied with his loss of the Great Scattered Pass, and he may not have a good time in the future.
