Chapter 718 Borrowing the Power of the Princes

Chapter 716: Borrowing the Power of the Princes

With Qin Hao's 130,000 elite troops alone, even if he could forcibly capture Sizhou, which had 100,000 defenders, both sides would definitely lose in the end.

 So the road to the Northern Expedition was completely blocked before it even started.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Can we just wait for Dong Zhuo to call us?"

Liu Bowen smiled calmly and said: "My lord, you don't have to worry so much. Once Dong Zhuo threatens the emperor to command the princes, it will not only be our family that is threatened, but all the princes in the world. As long as my lord takes up the banner of resisting Dong Zhuo, When the time comes, all the princes in the world will give their full support to the lord.”

Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought: "Yes, at worst, he will take the lead and the princes will challenge Dong again."

Liu Bowen's thoughts were still conservative. He only thought that the princes of the world would support Qin Hao, but he did not expect that the princes of the world would unite to crusade.

Liu Bowen was not a **** after all, so how could he know that Dong Zhuo actually committed a series of outrageous and murderous incidents after entering Beijing?

Depose the young emperor and establish a new emperor, sleep in the palace at night, sleep with the maids, sleep with the princess, sleep with the emperor's concubine, sleep with the queen mother, kill the ministers, kill the people, kill the emperor and the queen... From then on, Dong Zhuo completely embarked on the road of no return as the devil.

Not only Liu Bowen couldn't think of it, but even Qin Hao was a little confused. After all, Dong Zhuo in his impression was not stupid at all. He couldn't have committed suicide so obviously?

Powerful ministers will always keep a fig leaf for themselves, but with so many death-seeking incidents combined, throwing away this fig leaf is equivalent to telling the world that I want to rebel and change the dynasty, and there is nothing you can do about it. Lao Tzu?

Originally, Dong Zhuo still had hope of becoming a minister of ZTE, but after this series of events, Dong Zhuo's reputation was completely ruined. In addition, he really threatened the princes of the world, which led to the Eighteenth Route Prince Alliance to attack him. .

Qin Hao doesn't know whether Dong Zhuo in this life will be the same as in the original history, or if there are any hidden secrets in the original history, but as long as Dong Zhuo dares to reach out to his own territory, Qin Hao doesn't mind forming an alliance to challenge Dong.

Dong Zhuo's power is already large enough. If it continues to grow, it will definitely arouse the fear of other princes.

Let’s not talk about the distant ones for now, let’s talk about the nearby ones first. The major princes in the four states of Bing, Yan, Yu, and Jizhou will definitely join the coalition of princes. After all, they are all under Dong Zhuo’s nose, so the alliance against Dong Zhuo is The general trend is the general trend.

Suddenly, a bold idea flashed in Qin Hao's mind, that is: to use the power of the princes to defeat Dong Zhuo and capture Sizhou in one fell swoop.

Liu Bowen still didn’t know that his lord had even thought of forming a coalition army, but he continued:

"The Lord can first conclude an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with the surrounding princes. Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Ding Yuan are all candidates for alliance. Once Dong Zhuo invades, he can also request some reinforcements as support."

Qin Hao nodded. If an alliance is formed now, if the alliance is to challenge Dong in the future, at least these allies will definitely join.

"Wen Ruo, I have given you full authority to lobby all the princes and conclude an alliance."

Xun Yu smiled lightly, nodded and said, "No."

Seeing this, Liu Bowen continued: "Of course, these are all passive actions. To turn passivity into initiative, the Lord should still find a way from the bottom up, and the best way is to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering the capital.

After your Majesty's death, if Dong Zhuo forces his way to Beijing, he will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the general He Jin. He Jin will definitely attract external help now, and my lord can help him.

As long as Dong Zhuo can be defeated, He Jin will definitely eliminate Dong Zhuo's forces in Sizhou, and the lord can ask Ying to attack and occupy Sizhou in two directions. "

Hearing this, Qin Hao frowned again. Although the risks of this plan were high, the benefits were also huge.

Dong Zhuo's forces have surrounded Guanzhong from three sides. If Qin Hao cannot defeat Dong Zhuo in the short term, he will definitely face the risk of being completely surrounded. If he succeeds, Qin Hao will get the land of Sizhou, one state and four counties. .

“How can we achieve great things if we are so timid in seeking wealth and honor in danger?”

A cold light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he had already decided to try his best to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing. If he couldn't stop it, he would form a coalition to attack Dong and capture Sizhou.

"Report...big news came from Chang'an, Your Majesty, he fell ill." "What?"

 Qin Hao stood up suddenly, with shock and confusion in his eyes.

 Sure enough, is history going to return to its starting point?

While everyone was still immersed in the news that Liu Hong was seriously ill, Qin Hao decisively ordered:

"The order is sent to Bai Qi to lead five thousand troops to defend Yang Jian in the north, Yue Fei to lead five thousand troops to defend Li Shimin in the west, Xue Rengui to lead five thousand troops to defend Yuan Shu in the east, and Su Dingfang to lead five thousand troops to Xinye to defend Ding Yuan in the south."

Princes everywhere are expanding their armies and preparing for war. The specific numbers of army expansion are also military secrets, and no one will take the initiative to expose their strength.

Although Qin Hao expanded his army by 100,000 at one time, he only had one county, so it was reasonable to expand his army by 50,000.

Qin Hao only added 5,000 troops to each side. The purpose was of course to show the enemy's weakness, so as to confuse Dong Zhuo and give him the illusion that Qin Hao's expanded army was still within his control.

 After the meeting, Qin Hao returned to the backyard and had his last meal with Zhang Sheng before leaving.

The purpose of Zhang Sheng's trip was actually to bring Zhang Ning back, and also to meet Xiang Yu, so he would not just stay at Qin Hao's place. After a short rest, he would go south again.

As for Liu Mu, he has been in Nanyang Academy in the past few days, doing some knowledge with Cai Yan, so he did not meet Zhang Sheng, which made Qin Hao feel relieved.

“This is the new chef in the house. He made it especially for you. It’s all your favorite food.”

Qin Hao pointed to the table full of delicacies and said with a smile: "Come and try it. We haven't had a meal together for many years."

 Zhang Sheng didn't even think about it and said directly: "It's five years, six months and thirteen days."

Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, surprised that she remembered it so clearly, and then smiled and said: "Then do you still remember how long we have known each other?"

 “Nine years.”

 Qin Hao shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not right."

 “That’s nine years.”

 Nine years ago, Qin Hao was ten years old and she was eleven. It was at that time that Qin Hao and Gui Guzi rescued her. Her destiny had changed drastically since then. How could she remember this wrongly.

“It’s three thousand two hundred and eighty-nine days, twenty-one hours and fifty-four seconds.” Qin Hao said seriously.

 Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes and said coquettishly, "You're not serious."

 “Enliven the atmosphere.”

Qin Hao touched his nose awkwardly, then smiled and said: "Okay, eat it quickly, the food will not taste good when it is cold."

Zhang Sheng shook his head helplessly, took a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. Soon after, his expression changed.

“Is this really tofu?” Zhang Sheng said in disbelief.
