Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 423 Dynamics of the parties
Chapter 422: Dynamics of all parties
Xiang Yu's army originally gathered all the fierce generals of the Yellow Turbans, but as the troops moved south, those generals also returned to their respective commanders.

At present, there are not many generals under Xiang Yu's command except Long Qie, Zhongli, Yu Ziqi and other generals.

Xiang Yu was at a time when he was most in need of people, and Ji Bu, the general who had just been rescued, was naturally reused by Xiang Yu.

Since Ji Buben was Zhang Jiao's confidant, Xiang Yu naturally couldn't trust him completely.

In addition to leading the battle under Xiang Yu's command, Ji Bu's biggest role is actually to regulate the relationship between Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang.

For example, in the current situation, Xiang Yu will definitely not take the initiative to seek peace with Zhang Liang, but Ji Bu will become a bridge between the two.

But even so, it is difficult to heal the wounds between the two. The generals of the Yellow Turban South Road Army have had a long-standing conflict, and now they cannot be reconciled.

Guangchengguan.

After learning that Qin Hao was captured alive, Lu Zhi jumped up and down in a hurry, but when he heard Liu Bowen say that Qin Hao did it on purpose, Lu Zhi was stunned.

"Are you saying that Shan Xiongxin is a fraudulent surrender? The concubine was also captured on purpose?"

Lu Zhi looked incredulous, and even suspected that the two were joking with him, but can such a joke be easily made?
Liu Bowen nodded and said solemnly, "That's right."

Lu Zhi's eyes widened, and he was instantly furious, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly, so he could only curse in a low voice:
"It's just nonsense. Don't you know how many chain reactions it will have when the coach is captured? What a blow to the entire army? Sending the coach out just for one possibility, you two have no brains? ?…”

The furious Lu Zhi sprayed both of their faces with smearing stars, but Liu Fang and the two did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, so they could only let Lu Zhi scold them.

Lu Zhi scolded for half an hour before stopping. After the two of Liu Fang looked at each other, their eyes were full of wry smiles.

"Yes, we all know what you said, but the lord is also a last resort. To accomplish the imperial court's grand plan, you must do this." Liu Bowen explained respectfully.

"and many more."

Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard the words, and quickly asked, "You said it was a big plan of the imperial court?"

After the two looked at each other, Fang Xuanling stood up and explained: "That's right. Generally speaking, it is impossible to be the commander of the South Road Army based on the master's qualifications, but the imperial court arranged for the master to be the commander, and the old general never doubted it. What is the purpose of it?"

"With the merits of the consort, it is not impossible to be the leader of the road, but it is not enough in terms of qualifications."

After Lu Zhi lowered his head and pondered for a while, he asked, "Tell me why?"

"that is because……"

After listening to Liu Bowen's explanation, Lu Zhi couldn't help taking a breath, and then fell into deep thought.

That is really a huge plan. If it succeeds, it will definitely kill the Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop. It is no wonder that the court made such a strange move, and Qin Hao did not hesitate to take risks.

Such a shocking plan was definitely not something that the DPRK came up with. Lu Zhi knew very well what kind of virtue the officials in the DPRK had, and it was absolutely impossible to formulate such a plan.

If you are not a member of the court, then there are only a hundred families left, but who among the hundreds of families has such power to allow His Majesty to gamble with the life and death of a great man?

"It's him."

Lu Zhi opened his eyes and said to himself, "It must be him."

As one of the hundreds of schools hidden in the Confucian school, Lu Zhi naturally knew some secrets of the hundreds of schools, and the only one who could affect Liu Hong among the hundreds of schools was Wang Xu, the Guiguzi.

"So it turns out, you can't hold it anymore in the end." Lu Zhi smiled happily.

Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling looked at each other with a trace of doubt in their eyes. How could they know that Lu Zhi, who knew the whole story, already knew more than they did.

What Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling knew were all told by Qin Hao, but what Lu Zhi knew was not even Qin Hao's.

"What is the 'he' the old general said?" Liu Bowen asked.

Lu Zhi didn't answer, but instead asked, "What should I do next?"

Seeing this, Liu Bowen knew that Lu Zhi didn't want to reveal that person's information, so he didn't continue to stalk him.

"Next, we have to give up Guangcheng Pass and retreat to Nanyang to join General Zhu Jun, otherwise we will show our flaws."

"Just give up like this, won't the Yellow Turban doubt it?"

"Because the coach was captured, our army's morale has been hit unprecedentedly. Even if you have Xiong in your hands at this time, you will never be able to hold it. The Yellow Turbans must know this, so there will be no doubts."

Lu Zhi nodded and asked again, "And then what?"

"Abandon Nanyang, let the 30 Yellow Turban elite join forces, and then continue to lure the enemy in. Nanyang is facing two attacks from the northeast, and the strategic retreat is completely reasonable."

"It's 20." Fang Xuanling corrected, while Liu Bowen rolled his eyes helplessly.

Xiang Yu's [-]-strong army is the elite, and the other [-] Yuzhou Yellow Turbans are far worse.

----

In just a few days, the news that Qin Hao was captured alive in front of the battle spread all over the world. The Yellow Turbans beat gongs and drums to celebrate, and the big man was naturally grief-stricken.

Who would have thought that the invincible champion Hou was captured by the enemy so hastily. This was a great blow to the entire Han army, and the one who was most affected was naturally Qin Wen, the commander of the Han army's east route.

Since the news of Qin Hao's capture was confirmed, more than half of the officials in the Chang'an court proposed to seize Qin Wen's military power, and Yuan Feng was the most active of them.

If Qin Wen's military power is taken back, Yuan Shao is most likely to become the chief general, and the Yuan family can also take advantage of the trend to control the military power of the 20 Han army.

Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others, who have a good relationship with Qin Wen, rarely did not stand up against it this time, but not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare.

Qin Hao is Qin Wen's only son. If Qin Wen joins the enemy for his son, it will be a fatal blow to the big man, so Wang Yun and others dare not speak for Qin Wen.

Qin Wen, the Marquis of Taiyuan, who made great military exploits for the great Han, seems to have been abandoned by the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty of the great Han.

"His Majesty has a decree to order the Grand Governor Qin Wen to continue the war in the east of Hangu Pass, and make him the governor of Bingzhou, the general of the hussars, the marquis of the county to be the marquis of the county, and the marquis of Wanhu."

After Zhang Rang read out Liu Hong's will in front of the civil and military court, Chaotang immediately exploded.

"how can that be?"

Yuan Feng's face was in disbelief, he couldn't believe that Liu Hong ordered this will.

"Is this still the faint-hearted monarch?" Manchu Wenwu thought so.
