Chapter 794 Qin Hao and Liu Xiu

Chapter 792: Qin Hao and Liu Xiu

 The camp of the Qin and Jin combined armies.

Qin Jian patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, your fourth uncle, I have brought you a total of 30,000 cavalry this time."

 After hearing the word "good nephew", Qin Hao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

He is about to become the father of three children, but in the eyes of elders like Qin Jian, he still seems to be a minor.

And when he heard that 30,000 of the 50,000 Jin troops coming this time were cavalry, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a flash of joy in his eyes.

"Thirty thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry, plus the ten thousand fine cavalry under my command, after gathering all the cavalry under the princes' command, we should be able to gather one hundred thousand cavalry, which is enough to deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry." Qin Hao thought to himself. .

The Jin Army was different from the Qin Army. The Qin Army wanted to develop cavalry, but it did not have enough horses.

After the Jin army occupied Hetao, there were so many war horses that even one person and two riders could not ride them, so the elite troops even had the luxury of having one person and three riders.

Now the ratio of infantry and cavalry in the Jin army has even reached one to one, which means that there are 100,000 cavalry in the 200,000 Jin army.

Of course, the reason why such a large cavalry team is maintained is mainly to defend against the increasingly powerful Yuan-Meng Empire in the north.

 Out of the 500,000 Liang troops, the Xiliang cavalry accounted for about 20%, and there were also 100,000 cavalry.

It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to mobilize all the Xiliang cavalry. This time he can mobilize up to 60,000 cavalry to fight against the Hou Hou coalition. And Qin Hao has a hundred thousand cavalry to compete with them, so the chance of victory is still quite high.

 The quality of the cavalry under the princes is different from that of the infantry.

 Because it is very difficult to set up a cavalry unit, it can almost be said that it costs money, so as long as it can be set up, it will definitely be an elite army.

There are still many princes with cavalry teams, but most of them are small-scale cavalry. Except for Dong Qin, there are only three princes with more than 10,000 cavalry: Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao. Even Yuan Shu does not have 10,000 cavalry. This shows how luxurious the cavalry is.

After Qin Hao and Qin Jian talked about their daily life, they finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Fourth uncle, how is your handsome father's health?"

“Eldest brother is still in good health and handles government affairs easily, but he can’t continue to lead the army.”

“It’s good to be tough. By the way, is my father still angry with me?”

“My good nephew, don’t blame your uncle for saying a few words to you.”

Qin Jian looked puzzled and asked, "What kind of conflict does it have between you and your son that it needs to get to this point?"

 Qin Jian didn’t know the secrets of the Qin family, and when faced with Qin Jian’s questioning, Qin Hao could only change the subject with a wry smile.

What conflicts can there be between Qin Hao and Qin Wen?

It wasn't that Qin Wen couldn't tolerate Liu Mu giving birth to a boy, but Qin Hao couldn't tolerate his father forcing him to give up his own flesh and blood, so the conflict arose.

Qin Hao did not regret marrying Liu Mu, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this marriage was simply a sin.

 Qin Jian is just a very simple-minded person. After being led astray by Qin Hao's few words, Qin Jian also forgot the previous question and visited the Qin Army under the leadership of Qin Hao.

 “Good sword…good crossbow…good…”

 Chin Jian visited all the way and was amazed all the way.

Qin Hao broke away from the Jin Army and founded the Qin Army. Qin Jian originally thought that it would take at least five years to achieve initial results. After all, it was the same when he and Qin Wen started their business. However, the results achieved by Qin Hao stunned him. Whether it is military or political, Qin Hao has almost achieved perfection. It is much better than the miserable situation they were in at that time.

　　　"The next generation is to be feared."

Qin Jian looked sighing, and then asked: "By the way, where are your third and fourth brothers? Didn't they come with you this time?"

Qin Hao smiled calmly and said: "The third brother is staying in Nanyang, and the fourth brother is serving as Bai Qi's deputy general, mainly responsible for attacking Guangcheng Pass."

Of the four counties under Qin Hao's command, the governors of the three counties all had foreign surnames, so of course Nanyang had to be handed over to someone with the Qin surname, and Qin Zheng, who was both civil and military, was the best candidate.

Qin Jian couldn't help but nodded. Before coming, Qin Wen asked him to remind Qin Hao that a monarch should be on guard against loyal subordinates. This is not only for the good of the monarch but also for the good of his ministers.

Seeing that Qin Hao arranged Qin Wu to be beside Bai Qi, Qin Jian knew that Qin Hao was already well versed in the art of employing people, and while giving Bai Qi rights, he also exercised checks and balances, so naturally there was no need for him to continue talking.

“Report...to inform my lord that Liu Xiu, the herdsman of Jingzhou, has come to visit.”

Qin Jian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiu? He was not defeated by you just now, and even his brother Liu Biao died in the battle. How could he take the initiative to visit?"

Qin Hao also looked thoughtful, and then said: "No matter what the trick is, just go and see it and you will know it."

 “Go, Third Uncle, I want to visit your Qin army.”

"Um."

 Qin Hao nodded and strode away. When he opened the large reception tent, a young general wearing silver armor appeared in Qin Hao's sight. It was Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

 Before they met, Qin Hao was very afraid of Liu Xiu, and even wanted to kill him quickly.

But after they actually met, Qin Hao found that he didn't have much murderous intention in his heart. Perhaps he had always been afraid of Emperor Guangwu in his heart, not the resolute young man in front of him.

Seeing Qin Hao arrive, Liu Xiu immediately bowed and said in a deep voice: "Meet the Marquis of Qin."

Liu Xiu was not at all imprudent in etiquette, and his calmness was abnormal. It was not at all like the attitude he should have when facing an enemy who killed his brother.

Qin Hao was alert in his heart, but remained calm on the outside. He narrowed his eyes slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Liu, you don't have to be so polite."

Liu Xiu called Qin Hao the Marquis of Qin, but Qin Hao called Liu Xiu brother Liu. On the surface, Qin Hao was trying to bring the two people closer, but in fact he did not recognize the official position Dong Zhuo granted Liu Xiu.

If he were an ordinary prince, he would definitely argue with Qin Hao angrily. After all, this is related to his future status in the coalition, but Liu Xiu's expression did not change at all.

After being silent for a while, Liu Xiu deliberately pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Qin is busy with many things, so I came to disturb you this time. In fact, I have something important to discuss with the Marquis of Qin."

 Here comes the point. Qin Hao sneered in his heart.

"It's like this. Due to some misunderstanding, there was a little friction between our army and the Marquis' army not long ago, and my favorite general Kou Xun was also captured alive by General Bai Qi."

Liu Xiu looked at Qin Hao expectantly, and asked sincerely: "Now that you and I are allies of Dong, and the previous misunderstandings have been eliminated, I wonder if Lord Marquis can release Kou Xun, or I can Redeem it?"
