Although the alliance of the three princes Zhu Er and Liu suffered a small defeat, their strength remained the same.
And as Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che each sent large armies to support Liu Xiu, especially Liu Che's army of 300,000 soldiers divided into three groups and went out in force, it made the princes all over the world have other thoughts.
Among the princes in the world, there are no mediocre people who can persist until now. Of course, except Yuan Shu, there are various external reasons why he can get along like a fish in water.
All the princes in the world can clearly realize that it is urgent to unite and jointly restrain the Jin army.
Previously, the two princes Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che did not have their troops in place yet, and the three princes Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Chi You were all unwilling to see rabbits and not let go of eagles, so they did not send troops now.
They planned to let Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Che and other princes attract most of the Jin army's firepower before they began to send troops. After all, if they showed up too early, what if the Jin army's attention was attracted to them?
Especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. They are separated from Li Xiang by Hu Pass and Hulao Pass. They would not dare to start a fight without letting other princes attract firepower first.
Fortunately, they were finally allowed to wait until the time they were waiting for. So the three princes united and issued a corrective edict, saying that Jin King Li Xiang was called a Hanchen and was actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. They wrote another long and smelly edict.
The thieves issued a warning and jointly sent 200,000 troops, heading straight for Hulao Pass.
In this battle, Yuan Shao and the others no longer thought about attacking in two directions, but prepared to gather all their strength at one point and use the arrancar to open a gap.
At the same time, Qin Zheng could no longer hold back and sent ten thousand troops to support Yuan Shao and other three princes.
Indeed, you heard it right, Qin Zhengbing sent 10,000 soldiers!
It's not that Qin Zheng doesn't want to send more troops, but he is also powerless!
With a neighbor like Liu Bang who has an old gangster character, Qin Zheng sometimes has a headache! In the previous battle, Liu Bang suffered heavy losses and lost one and a half counties in a row. Even after the war, Liu Bang was forced to
Even the administrative office has been moved.
If this situation develops, Liu Bang will be destroyed by Qin Zheng sooner or later. Therefore, Liu Bang directly promotes the spirit of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. You Qin Zheng want to help the princes to limit the Jin army, but I, Liu Bang, will not let you do it.
For Liu Bang, his most urgent worry is not whether the Jin army will grow stronger again or even further unify the world and destroy him. After all, there is no difference between being destroyed by Qin Zheng and being destroyed by Li Xiang.
.
Judging from the current situation, Liu Bang may be destroyed by Qin Zheng before Li Xiang's Jin army can attack!
Therefore, Liu Bang was far less urgent than Qin Zheng in terms of restrictions on sending troops.
Qin Zheng thought that it would be okay if Liu Bang did not stop him from sending troops. Liu Bang said that as long as his territory was returned, not only would he not stop him, but he would send troops to help him!
But how could Qin Zheng, with his stubborn character, agree to such a request? Besides, what would the soldiers below think of returning the territory they had fought for with their lives?
As a result, the negotiations between the two sides have reached a deadlock. In the Northeast, the situation is complicated. Han Gaozu, Qin Shihuang, and Tang Taizong are involved in each other. Qin Shihuang simply cannot provide more troops.
However, although Qin Zheng only sent 10,000 troops, Han Xin, a god-level commander, was responsible for leading the troops. This was Qin Zheng's purpose to promote Han Xin.
In a large-scale battle like Li Tang or Liu Bang, Han Xin would not be able to lead the army due to his qualifications.
But if they only send 10,000 troops, and let Han Xin be the main general, Qin Ji, Zhang Han and other veteran generals will be embarrassed to compete for the position of main general, and they can't give no chance to the people behind them.
Yuzhou, Runan.
Yan Xiang tried to persuade Yuan Shu to stop attacking Zhao Kuangyin several times and instead send troops to Xuanyuan Pass. However, he was stopped by Li Mi several times.
Yan Xiang, as a wise man, could also see that the Jin army must not be given the opportunity to expand further.
Of course, Yan Xiang also knew very well that it was impossible for the princes to form an alliance with him. Once this happened, those princes would be destroying their political position, and the so-called name of seeking thieves would become a joke, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
Therefore, Yan Xiang suggested that Yuan Shu postpone the attack on Zhao Kuangyin and instead attack Xuanyuan Pass.
First, they didn't have to fight to contain the Jin army and secretly helped those at Hulao Pass. In this way, they had no alliance with the princes on the surface, but secretly they were working for the same purpose.
Secondly, after Zhao Kuangyin is liberated, Yuan Cao and others will never let go of such a help, and it is certain to draw him into their alliance.
However, Yuan Cao's idea was good, but he couldn't help Li Mi constantly using various means to strengthen Yuan Shu's hatred for Zhao Kuangyin. Moreover, in this world, sleeping with someone is always a good idea.
Having taken root here for so many years, Li Mi has developed quite a network of connections. Even some people in Yuan Shu's palace were connected with him. He was also the one who influenced Yuan Shu through his pillow talk in Yuan Shu's harem.
I have used this method several times.
Next, Li Mi sent people to secretly intercept the reports from Jiang Xiaobai, Wang Mang, Xian Zhen and other generals on the border or on the battlefield in Xuzhou. As long as they were about admonishing the troops to retreat, they would be detained one by one, and the rest would be released.
They arrived at Yuan Shu's place.
To be honest, it was a bit dangerous for Li Mi to do this, and it could easily arouse the suspicion of others. After all, those people were not stupid.
But Li Mi could also clearly feel that he might not be able to take advantage of Yuan Shu for much longer. After this war subsided, and when the princes from all walks of life unite to fight against the Jin Dynasty again, I am afraid that the first step is to remove Yuan Shu, this troublemaker.
To prevent Yuan Shu from affecting their anti-Jin alliance.
Therefore, Li Mi must make full use of Yuan Shu's final value.
Although the two princes Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also invited Liu Bei and Dou Jiande, Liu Bei and Dou Jiande had not yet recovered from their serious injuries, so it was naturally impossible for them to rush to help them fight!
Moreover, the war just ended a few days ago, and Liu Bei and Dou Jiande were on the losing side. Seeing that Yuan Shao and Chi You are still in the period of hiccup, it is even more impossible to pass it now!
Therefore, Liu Bei finally rejected the alliance. Although Dou Jiande also wanted to refuse, things have changed now!
A few years have passed, and a lot of changes have happened. Yun Tianbiao, Deng Zongbi, Xin Congzhong, Pang Yi, Bi Yingyuan and others who were loyal to Dou Jiande successively lost their lives on the battlefield, and military counselor Ling Jing also died due to stray arrows.
Instead, generals such as Gao Chong, Xue Andu, Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanjun rose up and gradually occupied key positions in his power.
Di Qing and Shan Yingying also successfully got married. With this, Su Qin successfully won over Shan Xiongzhong. Shan Xiongxin had no choice but to exchange his surrender for Su Qin's promise to save Dou Jiande's life.
As for the other Wang Jin, Liu Heitai, Cheng Jingjun and others, they are only aware of current affairs. However, these people have no idea who they are really loyal to. They just simply think that Su Qin wants to be the boss.
In the end, Dou Jiande's forces sent 5,000 soldiers and horses, pretending that they could just send some people to show off, but it was unclear what they were going to do. After all, no matter how few people were sent, they would still represent the princes all the way.
