Seeing that the lord did not choose him, all the generals could not help but show disappointment on their faces. Only a few generals such as Bai Qi had a trace of doubt on their faces.
Once the surprise attack on Zhi County is successful, the Qin army will completely take the initiative in the battle, so the importance of the general is self-evident.
Bai Qi originally thought that he would choose Ran Min for the main guild, but Pei Yuanqing would be the worst choice. After all, choosing a famous general would naturally have a higher success rate, but the lord chose a general that he didn't even know, which made it a little difficult for Bai Qi to understand.
After thinking hard to no avail, Bai Qi saw the generals of the Jingzhou clan congratulating Huo Qubing, and thought to himself: "Perhaps my lord is doing this to show his kindness to the Jingzhou family."
The Qin army now has a total strength of nearly 300,000, of which 240,000 are from Jingzhou. However, among the generals from the Jingzhou line, there are very few who can lead the army independently.
Jingzhou also provided many talents for the Qin army, such as Xiang Lang, Dong He, Wenpin, Li Yan, etc. Wenpin, who had the highest status in the army, could only serve as Yue Fei's deputy. If things go on like this, the Jingzhou generals may
Will turn away from morality.
If Qin Hao knew what Bai Qi was thinking, he would definitely be shocked that he had been fooled.
Qin Hao had actually thought of these things for a long time, but among the generals of the Jingzhou line in his hands, there were not many who could defeat them except Li Yanwen.
Although Qin Hao wants to ease the relationship with the Jingzhou family, he can't forcefully elevate him to a high position just to make the Jingzhou family feel valued when he knows that this person is not good, right?
Qin Hao didn't want people with sufficient abilities to take positions that he couldn't bear, so he put aside the idea of reusing generals from Jingzhou.
The birth of Huo Qubing gave Qin Hao an opportunity, so he decisively re-employed Huo Qubing. In fact, it was a show of goodwill to the Jingzhou clique. The Jingzhou clique should indeed have an important minister or famous general.
Huo Qubing's political attributes were only 61 points. Naturally, he could not have imagined such a deep relationship. However, after the meeting, other generals informed him that he had unknowingly become the hope of the Jingzhou people, so he felt even more determined.
We must fight this battle well.
On the same day, under the command of Huo Qubing, ten thousand cavalry pulled out of the Qin camp and headed towards Hongnong County.
In order to prevent Wang Mang's spies from discovering the traces, Huo Qubing chose to go to Hongnong County, and then went north to raid Zhi County. Although this journey was longer, it was safer. After all, Hongnong County was now under the control of the Qin army.
As soon as Huo Qubing left, Qin Hao and Bai Qi led an army of 55,000 to Chaoge. The purpose was naturally to join Su Lie's army and defeat Wang Mang in one fell swoop.
The total strength of the Allied Forces was 130,000, and Wang Mang had 80,000 troops, which was more than 100,000 troops. Therefore, as long as Wang Mang was eliminated, there was no need to worry about the Allied Forces.
————————
As a traveler who traveled through the second time, Wang Mang naturally knows the truth of death and coldness.
When he learned that Yang Lin was about to run out of food after the fall of Hangu Pass, Wang Mang secretly thought that something was wrong, and he was also thinking about how to help Yang Lin tide over the difficulties, but even though he was as resourceful as him, he couldn't think of any useful method in the end.
Yang Lin is short of food, and Wang Mang is also short of food. Even if he sends troops to meet Yang Lin's troops, he will not be able to gather enough food and grass to support an army of 50,000, and he will even be overwhelmed by the army of 50,000. When the time comes, Qin Hao
I really won.
Yang Lin also knew where Wang Mang was short of food and grass, so he didn't expect Wang Mang to rescue him from the beginning, but in the end he was completely besieged by Bai Qi.
After learning that Yang Lin had been ambushed by Bai Qi, Wang Mang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and finally sent Chen Baxian to lead an army of 50,000 people to pretend to attack Chaoge.
Wang Mang wanted to use this to share some of the pressure for Yang Lin, but Su Lie should guard and Bai Qi should surround him, so he ignored him at all.
Wang Mang did not dare to cross Chaoge to rescue Yang Lin. Not only would he not be able to save Yang Lin, but he might be cut off by Su Lie and eventually get himself trapped.
Before Yang Lin's entire army was wiped out, Wang Mang could already predict the outcome and couldn't help but feel worried about his own outcome.
Once the Qin army has dealt with Yang Lin, it will naturally concentrate its forces to deal with him. With only 130,000 miscellaneous troops, how can he withstand the attack of 100,000 Qin troops?
“I didn’t expect that after working hard for so long, I finally failed.”
Wang Mang smiled bitterly and said to himself that he had been mentally prepared for failure from the moment he saw the meteorite.
Wang Mang spent a lot of money to kill Qin Hao last time.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Wang Mang sent out all his martial arts masters, and even sent out a large number of troops and a full three thousand cavalry, even though he knew Li Yuanba was dispatched.
But he didn't expect that first Li Xiuning, a stupid woman, did something bad, and then a meteorite fell from the sky. Not only did he save Qin Hao's life, but he also killed nearly a thousand cavalrymen and one of the few generals under his command, Liang Fang.
Wang Mang could not afford to lose any of the thousands of cavalrymen and Liang Fang. If he could choose, he would definitely choose Liang Fang, but in the end, he lost both of them at once. This made Wang Mang not sad.
Wang Mang also realized with pain that even God was helping Qin Hao. If he continued to go against Qin Hao, he might not end well in this life.
Qin Hao's meteorite continuously smashed thousands of Wang Mang's cavalry and a general, and almost broke Wang Mang's rock-hard heart, making Wang Mang even contemplate surrendering to Qin Hao.
But Wang Mang is Wang Mang after all. He is not even afraid of death in order to travel through time. In his opinion, if he gives up his ambition, what is the point of coming to this world? It is better to die directly.
After being confused for several days, Wang Mang regained his composure. Since God helps Qin but not the king, then I, Wang Mang, will go against heaven.
A meteorite caused by "Destiny" prompted Wang Mang to develop a desire to defy heaven. But what Wang Mang didn't know was that he was able to survive Zhao Yun's pursuit because of his "luck of destiny", so defying heaven was defying himself.
ah.
Although Wang Mang had a desire to rebel against heaven, he also knew that this would not happen overnight. After calming down completely, Wang Mang realized that God could not give Qin Hao unlimited tricks. If that were the case, Qin Hao would have unified the world long ago.
It won't be such a mess.
Wang Mang felt that meteorites falling into the sky would definitely consume some of Qin Hao's possessions, such as luck.
Liu Xiu caused a meteorite rain in Jingbei, and his life has been bad ever since. This may be because his luck was consumed.
Qin Hao had summoned a bigger one in the river, and maybe it would have consumed all his luck, and as long as he persisted, he would surely turn it around.
Wang Mang couldn't help but think this in his heart, and only by soothing himself could he have the motivation to continue to fight Qin Hao. However, the good fortune he expected did not come, and instead became worse with the fall of Hangu Pass.
