Chapter 982
Chapter 980: Raising troops to prepare for war
Jia Fu.

As soon as she got the news of Dong Zhuo's departure, Jia Xu immediately got up from the bed, looking a little sick.

At this moment, a graceful figure walked out from the dark corner of the room, and said to Jia Xu respectfully, "My lord, I don't understand something."

"Say."

"General Jia Fu is still in Dong Zhuo's army, and once our plan unfolds, how will General Jia Fu get out?"

After Jia Xu glanced at Tian Yan meaningfully, he said with a light smile, "Don't worry, I have already written a secret letter to Fu'er, and in it I explained how to get out of trouble. When Dong Zhuo led the army to Mianchi, Fu'er's will receive it."

"Your Excellency, no doubt, my subordinates admire."

"Stop flattering, tell me what you do, how are you doing?"

"Everything has been done, just waiting for the order of the adults."

"Okay, everything is ready now, the only difference is timing."

A gleam flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "The day Dong Zhuo arrives in Mianchi is the time when Emperor Han returns from the east."

--------

Just when Jia Xu was plotting to bring the emperor back to the east, the news that Dong Zhuo led an army of [-] to go east even more touched the nerves of the princes of the world.

Previously, Dong Zhuo's one-piece seal of king policy not only retreated the allied forces of the princes, but also aroused the ambitions of the princes, breaking the fragile balance among the princes.

At present, although the only princes who accept canonization are Liu He, King of Yan, Huang Chao, Duke of Qi, and Wang Lang, Marquis of Yue, the territories of these three people have all fallen into war because of this.

Although most of the princes did not accept it, the more reason was to wait and see, and when more and more princes accepted the canonization, sooner or later the king's policy would be accepted by the princes, and the whole world might be caught in the flames of war.

Now the three prefectures of You, Qing, and Yang have fallen into melee. If Dong Zhuo leads the army to reach Sizhou, Sizhou will definitely ignite the flames of war again, and this time Qin Hao can only rely on his own strength.

Luoyang.

After Qin Hao got the news that Dong Zhuo was going east in person, he still did what he had to do, as if he didn't care about it at all, and this made Liu Bowen and other counselors very anxious.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo will lead the army to Mianchi in less than half a month. By then, the Liang army's strength will reach 14, which is already twice that of our army."

Liu Bowen showed a serious look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "This subordinate believes that we should immediately increase our troops to go north, otherwise our army may not be able to hold Luoyang."

In this battle against Dong, in addition to Qin Hao leading an army of [-] to the alliance, Bai Qi also led an army of [-] to the north.

Just before joining forces with Sun Jian, Bai Qi transferred [-] troops back to the Beishan camp, and only led [-] troops northward to join the battle.

Sixty thousand for Qin Hao, ten thousand for Bai Qi, and fifty thousand for Qin Jian.

In other words, the troops dispatched by the Qin and Jin armies alone reached an astonishing 12 troops, more than one-fifth of the total Kwantung coalition forces.

The battle against Dong was extremely tragic, with the average casualties of the princes being more than [-]%, and the small princes who sent fewer troops were even wiped out.

Although Qin Hao is the leader of the coalition, but with so many eyes on him, it is not easy for him to use his power for personal gain.

Qin Hao didn't deliberately protect his own army, but both the Qin and Jin armies were elite divisions, so the casualty ratio was naturally lower than that of the princes, but it still reached nearly [-]%.

Of the 12 troops before the war, there were more than [-] left after the war, and nearly [-] elites from the Qin and Jin armies died in the battle against Dong.

Now that Qin Hao only had 14 troops left, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to stop the menacing [-] Liang army, so Qin Hao also planned to increase his troops.

Today, the Qin and Jin armies still have nearly 40 troops, and the total strength exceeds the Liang army by [-]. However, there are more princes to guard against than Dong Zhuo, so Qin Hao can't mobilize too many troops.

Bingzhou has already supported Qin Hao's 15 troops, and the remaining [-] troops need to guard against Yuanmeng, so the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou must not be transferred anymore. Qin Hao can only recruit troops from Jingbei.

Before the start of the war, Qin Hao had been secretly expanding his army, bringing the strength of Jingbei to 24 in one fell swoop.

Although nearly half of the Jingbei Qin army are recruits, they are now ready to use after nearly a year of training, and although their equipment is worse than that of elite troops, it is still much better than other princes.

Excluding the 17 Qin troops who participated in the campaign against Dong, there are still [-] troops in the four counties of Jingbei, namely: [-] in Nanyang, [-] in Xiangyang, [-] in Nanxiang, and [-] in Zhangling.

Although there were a large army of 17, except for Nanyang's [-] army, [-]% of the other three counties had never seen blood recruits. It was more than enough to deal with the army of the princes, but it was a bit reluctant to fight against the Liang army.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao immediately issued an order: "Decree, order Nanyang prefect Qin Zheng to immediately transfer [-] elites to the north.

In addition, an order was sent to Yue Fei, the prefect of Xiangyang, to transfer [-] troops to accept Nanyang's defense. "

An army of [-] is enough to guard Nanyang. After all, Nanyang is located in the center of Qin Hao's sphere of influence. There are heavy troops guarding the southeast, northwest, and the four directions. The army of the hostile princes cannot approach Nanyang at all.

Seeing that Qin Hao had only transferred 13 troops, Fang Xuanling immediately frowned and said, "My lord, if we transfer [-] troops to the north, our army's strength will reach [-], which is more than enough to defend Luoyang, but if we want to expel the Liang army, we will take charge of it." If it is the state, I am afraid that it will still be powerless, right?"

"The land of Jingbei is hostile on three sides, without sufficient troops left, it is not enough to deter the princes of the four directions."

Speaking of this, Qin Hao showed a mysterious smile and continued: "Besides, our army's 13 troops are all elites. Although the Liang army is larger in number than our army, its combat power is definitely not as good as our army. Relying on this 13 army is enough to occupy Sizhou."

Fang Xuanling thought it was not safe enough, and was going to try to persuade Qin Hao, but when he saw Liu Bowen gave him a look, he suddenly realized that he didn't want to talk too much, thinking that the lord must have other schemes.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling understood his intentions, Qin Hao smiled and nodded at him, and then continued: "Henan Yin has 21 counties in total, and although our army occupies Luoyang now, the other [-] counties Still in the hands of Liang Jun..."

After conquering Luoyang, Qin Hao had to deal with a lot of messy things. Besides, all the princes were in Luoyang. Although Qin Hao wanted to dominate Sizhou, he couldn't show it too blatantly, so he delayed until now to prepare to take The remaining [-] counties.

After scanning the generals around, Qin Hao ordered in a deep voice, "Where are Bai Qi, Xue Li, Su Lie, and Zhao Yun?"

"The last general is here." Bai Qi and the other four generals stood up together.

"Now I order you to wait for four people, each with an army of [-], and you must give me all the twenty counties within ten days."

"No." Bai Qi and the other four generals shouted in unison.
