Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1008 Fear Qin Ruhu
Chapter 1006: Fearing Qin Like a Tiger
In order to completely muddy the water in Sizhou, Yang Jian immediately sent envoys to persuade Wang Shichong to go south after he withdrew from Mianchi, and the envoy he sent was Gao Jiong, one of the nine elders of the Kaisui Dynasty.

Gao Jiong was humble, not arrogant, good at identifying and recommending talents, and paid attention to protecting those who made meritorious deeds. It is said in history that he was talented in civil and military affairs and understood world affairs.

Gao Ying was in power for nearly 20 years as Prime Minister of the Sui Dynasty. She devoted herself to her duties and made outstanding achievements. Seeing Emperor Yang's extravagance, she was very worried.

Gao Ying has been the prime minister for more than 20 years, and she thought it would be easy to serve as a mere envoy, but she didn't expect that this trip would be far more difficult than imagined.

"Duke Zheng, King Liang sent me here this time to..."

Before Gao Ying finished speaking, she was interrupted abruptly by Wang Shichong.

"Who are you calling Zheng Gong? Don't shout nonsense, Dong Zhuo has given me the title of title, but I haven't accepted it yet."

Dong Zhuo's seal of king policy can be said to have completely disrupted the world, and now wars broke out in all states in the world.

Wang Shichong was granted the title of Zheng Gong by Dong Zhuo during this enfeoffment, but Wang Shichong was afraid of the crusade of Qin and Jin, so he never dared to accept the canonization.

Of course Wang Shichong wanted to accept the position of Duke Zheng, but neither Qin Wen nor Qin Hao accepted Dong Zhuo’s enfeoffment, and the Qin family’s father and son had always advertised themselves as loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. If he rashly accepted the position of Duke Zheng, it would be an excuse for Qin Jin to crusade against him .

Hearing what Wang Shichong said, Gao Ying couldn't help but frowned, and then she changed her smile and said, "King Liang sent me here this time to tell Lord Hou that the war is coming to an end and our army is about to withdraw from Sizhou. But the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi do not intend to hand over to Qin Hao."

The news of Dong Zhuo's death was blocked by Yang Jian. Except for Qin Hao, the other princes still don't know the news.

As Yang Jian's envoy, Gao Ying would naturally not reveal the news, so she still claimed to be Dong Zhuo's envoy.

Wang Shichong frowned when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "What does Dong Zhuo mean?"

"Liang Wang's intention is naturally to hope that you will become the new Governor of Hedong."

Wang Shichong saw through the deep meaning at a glance, and then sneered, "I'm afraid Dong Zhuo wants to drive away tigers and devour wolves."

Gao Ying chuckled, and said, "Master Hou is comparing himself to a tiger, but comparing Qin Hao to a wolf?"

"you……"

Wang Shichong, who was poked into a sore spot, couldn't help but be speechless. After all, how could he dare to be called a tiger in front of Qin Hao?

Gao Ying also noticed something, and immediately stopped provoking Wang Shichong, and persuaded: "The reason why Qin Hao was able to defeat our Liang army was the result of the joint efforts of the princes of the world, but he seemed to want to fight against Sizhou alone. It would be unfair to the rest of the princes.

The other vassals are far away, so it’s fine if they don’t have any territory, but Shangdang is on the edge of Sizhou, so it’s completely reasonable for you, Lord Hou, to get Hedong County..."

Gao Ying ran out of good words, and Wang Shichong was obviously very excited about Hedong, but because he was afraid of Qin Hao, he couldn't make up his mind.

When Gao Ying left to persuade the other three princes in the south, Wang Shichong still hadn't made up his mind, and Gao Ying's departure was still not smooth.

Of course Wang Shichong also wanted Hedong. After all, the 19 counties in Hedong County are much richer in terms of population and economy than the 13 counties in Shangdang.

But if he seized Hedong, it would be tantamount to taking food under Qin Hao's tiger's mouth, which made Wang Shichong have to be cautious.

Among all the lords in the world today, Wang Shichong thinks that he and Qin Hao have the deepest entanglement. After all, he was like a dog back then. He was kicked out of Yanmen by Qin Hao. .

At that time, the Yellow Turban was so powerful that Wang Shichong also thought that the Yellow Turban would take over the world, but the Yellow Turban was defeated by Qin Hao in several battles. Even Wang Shichong was forced to surrender to Han, and finally became neighbors with Qin Wen again.

After several years of wandering, Wang Shichong had a deep fear of Qin Hao, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a shadow in his heart.

At the time of the alliance of princes, Wang Shichong could have participated in the alliance in person, but the reason why he only sent people to lead the army was because he was afraid of seeing the nightmare of Qin Hao.

Therefore, although the temptation of Hedong is great now, if he has to confront Qin Hao, Wang Shichong can't bring up the courage.

Different from Wang Shichong's timidity, Wang Mang was overjoyed when he learned about it. He saw the last hope from this incident, otherwise Shangdang would hardly escape the fate of being annexed sooner or later.

The next day, Wang Mang went to persuade Wang Shichong in person, and the first thing he said was: "Brother really doesn't want Hedong County?"

"Idiots don't want it."

Wang Shichong asked bitterly: "But if you send troops to Hedong, you will completely offend the Qin family and father and son. When the Qin and Jin armies attack at the same time, what will the little Shangdang do to resist?"

A strange color flashed in Wang Mang's eyes, and he said with a light smile, "Brother, if Qin and Jin can't attack at the same time, do you have the courage to fight?"

Wang Shichong was taken aback, then shook his head, and said: "It's impossible, Qin Wen and Qin Hao are father and son, no matter Qin Jun or Jin Jun, sooner or later he will belong to Qin Hao, as long as Qin Hao gives an order, Jin Jun will definitely gather to cooperate with him .”

Wang Mang smiled unhurriedly: "Brother, do you think that if Yuan Meng invaded Hetao at this time, would the Jin army still have the strength to cooperate with the Qin army to attack us?"

Wang Shichong was stunned when he heard the words, and then said with a serious face: "This is impossible. The current Jin army is strong and strong. Yuan Meng's invasion of Hetao at this time is tantamount to head-to-head. It is impossible for Temu to be so stupid."

Wang Mang looked into Wang Shichong's eyes, and said seriously: "Brother, you just need to tell younger brother, if everything is true, brother, do you have the courage to fight?"

There was a glimmer of hope in Wang Shichong's eyes, but it soon dimmed again, and he said weakly: "But even if the Jin army is unable to invade, our army is still not the opponent of the Qin army?"

"Then what if Zhang Yang, Zhang Chao, and Wang Kuang also send troops together?"

Wang Shichong's eyes were full of disdain: "The three of them are eager to hug Qin Hao's thigh, how could they dare to take the initiative to offend Qin Hao?"

"Brother just needs to tell younger brother, if all this is true, do you have the courage to fight?"

"Assuming all of these are true, the chance of success in snatching food from Qin Hao's mouth will reach [-]%."

"Then what about quickly expanding the army there after seizing part of the land in the east of the river?"

Wang Shichong was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect to use Hedong to quickly expand his strength. After a little thought, he replied: "If this is the case... [-]%."

Wang Mang looked at Wang Shichong with burning eyes, and asked, "[-]% chance, brother, do you dare to give it a shot?"

Wang Shichong clenched his fists subconsciously, and said in thought: "If this is really possible, then why not fight for my brother, anyway, Qin Hao will call at the door sooner or later."

"it is good."

Wang Mang was also relieved when he heard it. Although Wang Shichong was extremely afraid of Qin Hao, he still had the courage to fight and resist, and this was enough for Wang Mang.

Wang Mang put his hands on Wang Shichong's shoulders, and said confidently: "Brother, believe me, little brother will definitely achieve this."
