Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1003: The Four Great Princes of the South Attacked
Chapter 1001: Attack of the Four Southern Princes
"Reporting to my lord that something is wrong, Shangdang prefect Wang Shichong has dispatched [-] troops to the south, and has occupied two counties in Hanoi and three counties in Hedong."

As soon as the news came out, all the generals of the Qin army were in an uproar, and they all cursed angrily.

"Wang Shichong is a thief, he is so big and courageous, he dares to grab a ready-made at this time, it is shameless."

"That is, my lord, please give the last general eight thousand soldiers and horses, and the last general will guarantee to defeat Wang Shichong's troops."

"My lord, the last general only needs seven thousand soldiers..."

"Then I have five thousand..."

Since its establishment, the Qin Army has relied on many advantages such as equipment, training, and generals, and has hardly suffered any major losses in frontal combat, and this has also developed the supercilious personality of the generals.

Senior generals such as Li Cunxiao and Ran Min hardly paid attention to small princes like Wang Shichong, and what's more, they even ordered [-] soldiers to defeat the [-] Shangdang army.

All the generals clamored to punish Wang Shichong, and Qin Hao was so big that he shouted immediately: "Shut up."

The generals stopped making noise immediately after hearing this, while Qin Hao continued to reprimand: "Look, take a look, how crazy are they all? Three thousand soldiers dare to fight against an army of [-]. Child's play...do you think you are me?"

Under Qin Hao's reprimand, all the generals also realized that they were too complacent, and dared to say such wild words as three thousand against twenty thousand.

But what Qin Hao said later made the veterans laugh. Pei Ju and others were a little confused when they saw this, but Liu Bowen and others shook their heads helplessly.

At the beginning of the rebellion of the Yanmen royal family, Qin Hao was forced to lead [-] elites to fight the rebellion, and he faced Wang Shichong's [-] rebels in time.

It was Qin Hao's first battle after joining the army, and it was extremely difficult, but in the end he still fought with the momentum of Yanmen. Qin Hao defeated [-] rebels head-on with [-] elites and became famous in one battle.

Many people present had participated in the original battle. Hearing what Qin Hao said, they couldn't help but look nostalgic. Seeing that the former young master has become the current master, that high-spirited young man has really grown up. Yes.

After beating the generals for a while, Qin Hao immediately asked the advisers: "Military Master, Wang Shichong only has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, but this time he dared to send [-] troops to the south to grab the territory. What is he doing?" are you crazy?"

Since the capture of Hetao, the development of Bingbei has improved to a higher level every year, and the four counties of Bingnan have also been radiated by its development, whether it is economic, political or population, it has been greatly improved.

Today, the four Bingnan counties have a population of nearly 30 million, and Shangdang is the wealthiest of the Bingnan four counties, but even so, Wang Shichong can only raise [-] soldiers. However, Shangdang has been unable to provide more soldiers.

Not all prefects can be like Qin Hao. A county has a population of more than 200 million, so they hardly worry about the source of troops. Of course, Qin Hao has now dismantled Nanyang into a county.

Due to population restrictions, the four counties in Bingnan are destined to not be able to raise too many soldiers and horses. Wang Shichong already has the most troops among the four princes in Bingnan, but he can only barely protect himself. External expansion.

Shangdang is close to Taiyuan County. If Wang Shichong wants to expand abroad, he must dispatch enough troops, but in this way, the rear will become empty, allowing the Jin army in Taiyuan to take advantage of it.

It stands to reason that unless the Jin army is completely restrained, there is absolutely no possibility of Wang Shichong sending troops, but this time he took such a big risk to send troops, which made Qin Hao have to wonder if there was any conspiracy in it.

After Liu Bowen pondered for a while, he said: "This matter is indeed very strange. Wang Shichong must have a backup, otherwise he would never dare to take the prey. I guess that the other three princes in the south may have been persuaded by Wang Shichong to send troops together. "

Qin Hao showed a surprised look, and said with a sneer, "Zhang Yang, Wang Chao, and Wang Kuang also have the guts to compete with this Marquis for Sizhou? This is unlikely!"

It wasn't that Qin Hao looked down on these three local princes, but that these three were obviously princes of one party, but they were extremely humble in front of Qin Wenwen and Qin Hao, which made Qin Hao not even treat them as opponents.

Seeing this, Liu Bowen showed a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, don't underestimate anyone, they are princes after all, and the rabbit bites people when it is anxious..."

Before Liu Bowen finished speaking, another important military news came.

"Report... Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangjun, dispatched [-] troops to the south and occupied the two counties of Hedong."

"Report... Zhang Chao, the prefect of Xihe, dispatched [-] troops to the south and occupied the three counties of Hanoi."

"Report... Wang Kuang, the prefect of Shuofang, dispatched [-] troops to the south and occupied two counties in Hanoi."

Qin Hao's complexion also became a little unsightly. He just said that the southern princes dared not compete with him for Sizhou, but he immediately got the news that the other party sent troops. This was simply a slap in the face. .

"It's a good job. I just got rid of them all at once, so I won't have to find excuses to attack them in the future."

Qin Hao said angrily, and what he said was full of confidence.

The total army strength of the four southern princes is only 13, while the total army strength of the Qin army in Sizhou is as high as [-], so even if the four southern princes unite, Qin Hao will definitely not feel too much threat .

Qin Hao was just about to give an order, but Liu Bowen said again: "My lord, the situation is not yet clear. We don't know whether the four major princes of the Annan have united, or came to grab the territory spontaneously, or colluded with the Liang army. It would be child's play to start a war.

In my opinion, our army may not start a war for the time being, and focus on seizing the counties of Hedong and Hanoi first. After we figure out the way to do it, it will not be too late to start the war. "

Qin Hao thought for a while and found it very reasonable, and immediately said: "Just do what the military adviser said, and immediately send an order to Xue Rengui, try not to conflict with the army of the southern princes, and seize more territory as quickly as possible."

"promise."

"Reporting to my lord, General Bai Qi was ordered to pursue westward, but the Liang army divided into two groups after chasing to Yewang City. Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba led the army to guard Yewang, while Yang Jian led most of the Liang army to Hangu. Closed.

Yewang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Liang army in the city has enough troops. Bai Qi was blocked by the strong city and could not continue to pursue, so he sent his subordinates to ask whether he should attack Yewang City by force? "

After Qin Hao took a deep breath, although he knew that Bai Qi might not be able to catch up, he still felt disappointed in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "The walls in front of Yewang City are thick, and a strong attack will surely cause heavy casualties. Immediately send an order to Bai Qi to suspend the pursuit, and the army immediately Go north to seize the counties in Hanoi."

"promise."
