Chapter 482 Nanyang Prefect

Chapter 481: Nanyang Prefect

 Luoyang, the palace of the champion prince.

"What? Your Majesty wants to make me the governor of Nanyang?"

Qin Hao's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Didn't Liu Hong take him as a hostage? What happened to the Nanyang Prefect now? Qin Hao was extremely surprised by this.

 The one who came to announce the decree was Zhang Rang. After hearing Qin Hao's question, he looked around at the people behind Qin Hao and pretended to be flattering:

"Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor and cannot be defended by anyone other than the emperor's relatives. Since the prince-in-law has made an astonishing achievement this time, the position of Nanyang's governor naturally belongs to the prince-son-in-law."

Qin Hao is ready to take a few years of leisure, but who is willing to be a hostage for a few years? Now that he was suddenly asked to become a prefect, it was like a dark dream for Qin Hao.

After Zhang Rang announced the decree and left, the four counselors Wang Meng, Liu Jifang, Qiao Liu Ye, immediately smiled and congratulated together: "Congratulations, my lord, for being appointed the governor of Nanyang."

When Qin Wen returned to Bingzhou, Wang Meng and other civil servants did not return together. According to their saying, where the lord is, the ministers will be there.

Qin Hao actually hoped that they would return to Bingzhou. After all, it would be a waste of talent to have such talented people doing nothing with him.

 However, the four of them had a surprisingly tacit understanding and determination, which moved Qin Hao deeply.

Qin Hao suppressed the madness in his heart and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, we can finally show off our skills."

If he had been the governor of other counties, Qin Hao might not be so happy, but Nanyang is the center of the world, the largest, richest and most populous county in the world.

How could Qin Hao not be happy that God had given him such a precious land?

Qin Hao looked to the north and murmured to himself: "It's time to break away from Bingzhou and develop alone."

Wang Meng and others looked at each other in confusion, tacitly silent, knowing that Qin Hao would definitely make the most correct choice.

In the process of establishing the Jin Army (Qin Wen is now the Marquis of Jin), although Qin Hao's role was not inferior to that of Qin Wen, Qin Hao was not the founder after all.

 The Jin army has been marked by Qin Wen, and his influence is unmatched by anyone.

Although there is nothing shameful about a son inheriting his father's legacy, what Qin Hao inherited was the entire Jin Dynasty.

If Qin Hao's own team is not strong enough, the Jin family will be dominated in the court, which is definitely not what any king wants to see.

So becoming independent from the Jin army and developing his own power alone is what Qin Hao must experience!

Since most of Nanyang was still in the hands of the Yellow Turbans, it was naturally impossible for Qin Hao to take office alone, so the court also assigned Qin Hao 10,000 troops and horses.

 Yes, that’s right, it’s ten thousand.

Perhaps it was because Qin Hao had not yet been defeated. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were full of confidence in Qin Hao, and they did not think that the "trivial matter" of regaining Nanyang would be difficult for the champion who had won every battle.

But you must know that there are more than thirty counties in Nanyang in the hands of the Yellow Turbans. Each county has nearly a thousand defenders, but they are leaderless.

 So unless the Yellow Turbans surrendered voluntarily, Qin Hao would not be able to recover Nanyang even if he defeated all of them with tens of thousands of troops.

When he learned that the imperial court only gave 10,000 troops and horses, Qin Hao was almost so angry that he cursed. For this reason, he went to General He Jin several times.

He Jin was also tortured by Qin Hao and had no choice but to do so. Due to Qin Hao's status as consort and Qin Wen's face, he finally gave Qin Hao another three thousand, and then said nothing.

Qin Hao was also very helpless about this. In order not to ruin his "invincible" sign, he could only go to Nanyang with 13,000 troops and horses, and wrote to his father on the other side asking for help.

When Qin Wen left Luoyang, he took away everything he could and could not take with him. After all, it was no joke for 200,000 Xiongnu to go south. So that Qin Hao in Luoyang only had four major staff members and three bodyguard generals, Xu Chu, Jiang Juan and Xiong Kuohai.

 After receiving his son’s letter asking for help, Qin Wen was also very concerned.

After all, the county of Nanyang is much richer than the nine counties of Bingzhou. If Qin Hao can completely conquer Nanyang, the benefits in the future troubled times will naturally be immeasurable.

In order to help Qin Hao quickly open up the situation, the Jin army sent out all its elite troops in the true sense this time.

In terms of the army, a total of 7,500 elite troops were dispatched, including: 2,000 heavy cavalry that have been replenished and expanded to break the barracks, 3,000 light cavalry at the Tiger Camp, 1,500 heavy cavalry trapped in the camp, and 1,000 who volunteered to join the army. Archery Women's Army.

In terms of generals, there are Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Ran Min, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Yu Jin, Qin Wu, Qin Zheng, Mu Guiying, a total of eleven generals.

Since Temujin had not retreated yet, Yang Ye and other Yang family generals, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Zhao Yun, Guan Sheng, Xu Huang, Qin Yong, Qin Liangyu and other generals all stayed behind. After all, there was no room for loss in annexing the state.

As for the civil servants, considering that there was no shortage of civil servants around Qin Hao, not only did they not send civil servants south, they also intercepted Fan Zhongyan, who originally belonged to Qin Hao's line.

From this we can also see that even Qin Wen is still short of literati.

 Nanyang, Wancheng, Prefecture.

 “Meet the Lord.”

Bai Qi and other generals saluted in unison, and the words "Lord" also meant that Qin Hao would separate from Jin and form his own line from now on.

  Qin Hao looked around at the generals in the hall and felt a sense of pride in his heart. These people are all my subordinates.

 “No need to be too polite, you all have worked hard in traveling and traveling.”

 “Thank you, Lord.”

Gao Shun stood up and reported: "Young Master, we are going south this time, bringing a total of 5,000 elite cavalry and 1,500 elite infantry..."

Mu Guiying seemed to be afraid that Gao Shun would forget about her, so she quickly added: "There are also a thousand elite crossbowmen."

A wry smile flashed across Gao Shun's face and he said, "Yes, there are also a thousand crossbowmen."

 Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and looked at his father looking at other people's fathers. Sure enough, his own father was better.

Among the 13,000 troops given by the court, there was not even a single cavalryman, and his father sent him 5,000 at once.

You must know that the total number of cavalry in the imperial court is less than 10,000, and the terrain of Nanyang is mainly plains, so 5,000 elite cavalry are more than enough.

"My lord, in the east of Runan, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's coalition forces are already at war with Li Mi, and our top priority should be to recover the remaining thirty counties in Nanyang first." Liu Ji added.

“What the military advisor said is reasonable, but where should we start from?” Qin Hao asked,

The 20,000 troops and horses under his command were Qin Hao's starting capital, so he naturally did not want to suffer too many casualties, so naturally he would not attack Nanyang by force if he could win it wisely.

Liu Ye, who usually doesn't talk much, was the first to stand up this time and said calmly: "I think that my lord should test the attitude of the county magistrates first, and then focus on attacking the die-hards of the Yellow Turbans, and then we can send a message to Nanyang to make a decision.
