Under Wang Mang's hard persuasion, Wang Shichong finally agreed to send troops to Hedong, but only after the Yuanmeng cavalry went south and the Jin army had no time to take care of him, and sent troops together with the three southern princes, otherwise the Shangdang alone would not have any victory.
Opportunity.
Wang Mang, who received the support of Wang Shichong, also began to implement his own plan. The first was to persuade Temujin to go south, and this was also the core of all Wang Mang's plans. After all, if Yuan Meng did not contain the Jin army, all subsequent assumptions would not be true.
Only when Yuan and Meng sent troops to prevent the Jin army from looking south could the other three princes of Bingnan see hope and cooperate with the Shangdang to send troops to seize Sizhou and quickly expand their troops to protect themselves.
To be honest, Wang Mang did not want to borrow the power of foreign races. After all, no matter how the fight was fought, this was a civil war in China, and he was an extreme racist, rejecting and even hating all foreign races except the Chinese.
But Qin Hao's pressure on Wang Mang was too great, and the strength gap between the two sides was too great. It could no longer be reversed by strategy.
Without the help of foreign forces, Wang Mang couldn't even see the slightest hope. However, even if he relied on foreign forces to contain the Jin army, he would still lose more than he won in this battle.
Although Wang Mang deceived Wang Shichong and said that the winning rate was 70%, he knew the actual situation best. Even if all the previous prerequisites were fulfilled, there was only less than 50% chance of winning.
The competition in the war is nothing more than the training of the soldiers, the sophisticated equipment, and the level of the generals, but our side is obviously inferior to Qin Hao in these three points.
Let’s not mention soldiers and equipment for now, let’s just talk about generals.
Among the top ten powerful generals on Qin Hao's side are Li Cunxiao, Ran Min, Jiang Song, and Jia Fu.
In addition, Zhao Yun, Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai and other famous generals accompanied him.
As for famous marshals, there are Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong and others.
In addition, Wang Mang also seriously doubted that 'Bai Qi' was actually the legendary god of murder, the man-killer 'Bai Qi'.
This lineup is truly luxurious and has absolutely no weaknesses.
Looking at himself, Wang Mang couldn't bear to look at him. There were still a few powerful generals who could take action, but none of the famous marshals.
As for Wang Mang himself, he was also very aware of his experience. He could deal with ordinary generals, but against famous generals like Bai Qi, he had no chance of winning.
"I want to use bronze configuration to challenge Qin Hao's divine outfit."
Wang Mang felt extremely bitter in his heart. Of course he knew that the risk of this battle was extremely high, but if he missed this opportunity, it would only be a matter of time before the Shangdang was destroyed, and Wang Mang would not have any chance to enter the game.
At that time, there was only one last option left for Wang Mang: to give up his own ambition and choose a wise master to assist him. But this was something Wang Mang could not accept no matter what.
Therefore, even when facing Qin Hao, the strongest boss in the world, Wang Mang still chose to fight to the death.
Victory, join the ranks of the world hegemony;
And once defeated...Wang Mang never thought about it.
"There is a chance. Qin Hao is not invulnerable. He still has a chance!"
Wang Mang saw his only chance, so he left Shangdang with determination, and under the protection of Ju Guuba and other generals, he went to the grassland to lobby Emperor Temujin of Yuanmeng.
Before leaving, Wang Mang took a deep look in the direction of Luoyang and said coldly to himself: "Qin Hao, the next step is the battle between our two time travellers."
The two countries, Yuanmeng and Manchu, completely copied the Han Dynasty and carried out in-depth reforms, and their development in these years can be said to be one step at a time. Their national power has been rising like a rocket, which has seriously threatened the safety of the entire northern Xinjiang.
.
Yuan and Meng annexed most of Xianbei, and their overall strength after digestion was even higher than that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. The two also restricted each other, thus maintaining an abnormal balance.
After Wang Mang stepped into Dragon City, he couldn't believe that this was a grassland. Everything here impacted his outlook on life.
The promised blue sky, white clouds, wind-swept grassland and sight of cattle and sheep? None of what should be seen on this grassland is here.
Instead, there is an endless majestic city, an endless stream of people, and all kinds of novel things.
In short, most of the things that are available in the Central Plains are available in Longcheng, and there are also things that are not found in the Central Plains.
According to Wang Mang's observation, the prosperity of Dragon City is no less than that of the second-tier cities in the Central Plains. In other words, first-tier cities such as Xiangyang, Yecheng, and Chengdu can definitely beat Dragon City.
As for Luoyang and Chang'an, two first-tier capital-level cities, they are naturally not comparable to the emerging city of Dragon City. If they want to catch up, it will be impossible without development for decades.
"In just five years, Temujin built such a big city on the grassland. He is worthy of Genghis Khan. He is so awesome."
Wang Mang sincerely admired and kicked Temujin. The opponent's method of turning decay into a miraculous thing really made Wang Mang admire him very much.
The strength of the Yuan-Meng Empire is beyond Wang Mang's expectation. Currently, only Dong Zhuo at his peak and the Qin, Jin and Liang armies can rival the current Yuan-Meng Empire. None of the other princes can fight alone.
Could be Yuan Meng's opponent.
One Yuanmeng was already so strong, but how strong was the Manchu Qing, which was slightly inferior to Yuanmeng?
At this thought, Wang Mang couldn't help but fell into deep worry, and sighed: "Fortunately, two geniuses, Temujin and Nurhaci, appeared in the grassland at the same time, otherwise it would have been a huge disaster for the entire China."
In fact, Wang Mang also knew that the reason why Yuanmeng was so strong was definitely due to many traitors.
The Jin army and Yuan Meng were mortal enemies, so strategic materials such as iron and ore were strictly prohibited from being sold to Yuan Meng.
Even if the Jin army occupied the Hetao area, it would be impossible to blockade the entire grassland. After all, the grassland is so large that if there is one area that cannot be monitored, it will provide Yuanmeng with trading opportunities.
If Yuan and Meng want to develop and grow, they cannot do without those strategic materials. If the Jin army does not sell them, they will buy them from other princes and some aristocratic families at high prices. Anyway, there will always be a shortage of traitors among the Han people.
Benefits are attractive to people. Under the temptation of huge profits, no matter how the Jin army blocks the border, even if the ban is clearly written into the law, there will still be a lot of people taking risks and continuously transporting a lot of materials to the grassland.
In addition, many princes in the three states of Jiyou have done this. They forgot the hatred between ethnic groups and only had their own interests in mind.
Among the aristocratic families, the most ruthless in transporting supplies were the legendary Eight Shanxi Merchants, several of which were even under Qin Wen's rule.
