If Sizhou is divided into eight parts, the Qin Army currently occupies four of them, the Southern Alliance Army occupies three of them, and the Liang Army occupies one.
Qin Hao's main sphere of influence in Sizhou is still in Yin, Henan. Although the three counties of Hongnong and Hedong in Hanoi also occupy part of it, most of it is in the hands of the other two parties.
The coalition of princes in the south commanded by Wang Mang divided the land of 14 counties including Jiangyi and Linfen in Hedong, as well as 13 counties including Huai County in Hanoi, for a total of 27 counties.
Since the entire coalition was formed by Wang Mang, Wang Shichong's Shangdang army must account for the majority. Although the other three princes in Bingnan were dissatisfied with this, they had Qin Hao as a formidable enemy in front, so they could only endure it silently.
Already.
As for the land of Hongnong and other six counties in Hongnong County, as well as Hanoi Jiancheng Yewang City, a total of six counties, they are still firmly in the hands of Yuwen Chengdu's 40,000 Liang troops.
The Qin Army, the Southern Alliance Army, and the Liang Army each occupied one side of Sizhou, completely dividing Sizhou into three parts, much like the three pillars of Wei, Shu, and Wu.
Qin Hao has an elite army of 130,000, and there are many fierce generals, and the overall strength is the strongest.
Wang Mang temporarily had 100,000 troops allied with the southern princes, but he was in the process of expanding his army, while Yuwen Chengdu had more than 40,000 Liang troops.
Whether it is the coalition of southern princes or the Liang army, they are no match for the Qin army alone. Only by uniting can they compete with it.
Since the Bingnan princes were part of the coalition fighting against Dong not long ago, although the Bingnan coalition and the Liang army ignored each other, they actually had a very "tacit understanding".
It was precisely because of the tacit understanding between the two parties and the fact that the previous situation was not yet clear that Qin Hao tolerated not fighting and focused on grabbing territory.
But as the fog in Sizhou gradually lifted, Wang Mang was finally exposed to the sun. The princes who had been paying attention to the battle in Sizhou realized that this guy was behind the scenes.
As the younger brother of Wang Shichong, Wang Mang had never been famous before, but now in such a short period of time, he persuaded all parties to join forces to form a coalition, and even temporarily disrupted the ambition of the coalition leader Qin Hao to seize Sizhou.
This incident alone was enough to make Wang Mang famous all over the world.
Wang Mang's maneuvering skills almost made all the princes applaud. It would have been impossible without a top-notch strategy and an overall view of the situation.
Therefore, the princes all thought that Wang Mang was an unparalleled talent in the country, and at the same time they were relieved that Qin Hao failed to occupy Sizhou.
After Qin Hao occupied Sizhou, the armies of Qin and Jin would definitely merge into one, and Qin Hao would become the veritable first prince, which would be a huge threat to all princes in the world.
No princes wanted to see the birth of the second Dong Zhuo, so Wang Mang was helping all the princes in the world by preventing Qin Hao from occupying Sizhou. Of course, they would never admit it.
Most of the princes hoped that Wang Mang could stop Qin Hao, but although they recognized Wang Mang's talent, they were not optimistic about Wang Mang's actions.
Qin Hao has not suffered a defeat so far, the strength gap between the two sides is too big, and the situation that Wang Mang worked hard to maintain is not strong, so on the surface, although Sizhou is in a three-point situation, Qin Hao can defeat it as long as he uses a little help from outside forces.
This situation can be completely shattered easily.
You must know that the Jin army has not even moved yet, and once the nearly 200,000 Jin troops fighting in the north move south, the situation that Wang Mang worked hard to maintain will collapse in an instant.
Just when everyone thought Qin Hao was going to mobilize the Jin army to go south, news came that Temujin himself was leading 200,000 cavalry south.
Qin Wen learned that the 200,000 Yuan Mongolian cavalry was invading. Although he wanted to lead the troops there personally, he was unable to do so, so he had to appoint Yang Ye as the chief general, Wang Meng, Xi Zhicai as the military advisor, and Li Dingguo, Luo Yi and others as military advisors.
General, commanded an army of 120,000 to guard the two passes to guard against the invasion of Yuan and Meng.
The Jin army has a total of 200,000 troops, of which 50,000 went south to join the alliance and are now under Qin Hao's command.
This time the Jin army dispatched a total of 120,000 troops, and the remaining 30,000 had to guard the huge territory. Obviously, they had no spare capacity to go south to help in the battle. This result stunned countless people.
No one thought this was a coincidence. After all, how could such a coincidence happen in the world? Everyone thought it was Wang Mang's plan in advance.
After all the things that happened before the union, the princes discovered that Wang Mang had planned everything in advance and had done it in every aspect. This is really scary when you think about it!
After this incident, Wang Mang became even more mysterious in the hearts of the princes. If he plans to change his family in the future, many princes will definitely treat him as a guest of honor.
Of course, many people also cursed Wang Mang, after all, Wang Mang clearly colluded with Yuan Meng this time.
Wang Mang would not dare to bear such a big name for colluding with foreign races, so even if everyone in the world thought so, he would not admit it even to death.
Temujin would definitely not be so bored as to take the initiative to expose him, and as long as Wang Mang refuses to admit it and carries out stone hammering without evidence, sooner or later this matter will be forgotten by the world.

Luoyang, Qin Hao has not received a single piece of good news since his return.
"Report... Lord, Li Yuan led three thousand Xiliang cavalry to wreak havoc on the Nanxiang Army. Master Jia Xu and His Majesty were blocked by it, and are temporarily unable to go north to Luoyang. General Zhang Liao is trying to encircle and suppress it. The Women's Army has been drafted to join the battle."
The main reason why Li Yuan's mere 3,000 cavalrymen were able to run rampant in Wuxiang was because Qin Hao had transferred all the cavalrymen, so that Zhang Liao had to mobilize a mere 500 cavalrymen from the Detachment of Women.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin Army are all proud to marry the Women's Army, so these five thousand Women's Army are also the treasures of the Qin Army. Under normal circumstances, they will not go into battle easily, but this does not mean that the Women's Army is weak in combat.
Qin Hao is naturally very familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Detachment of Women. Because of his wife Mu Guiying, the five thousand female warriors of the Detachment of Women have the best equipment of the Qin Army, including battle armor, crossbows, horizontal knives, and Modao.
, war horses... all kinds of equipment are readily available.
In addition, although the Detachment of Women only has 5,000 troops, it has many arms such as cavalry, swordsmen, swordsmen, spearmen, crossbowmen, etc. With the cooperation of multiple arms, the combat power is no worse than some ace battalions.
Therefore, after learning that the Women's Army had been dispatched, Qin Hao felt relieved about the war in the rear.
The Detachment of Women is not only cavalry, but also equipped with a lot of crossbows and bows. Various training in archery accounts for almost half of the daily training of the Detachment of Women. Therefore, every female warrior of the Detachment of Detachment is the best archer and archer.
crossbowman.
Relying on the mobility advantage of Xiliang's cavalry, Li Yuan managed to escape several encirclement and suppression attacks by Zhang Liao's 20,000 troops. However, with the addition of Arthur's 5,000 women's army, the fate of these 3,000 cavalry was destined to be extremely tragic.
