Mrs. Guo also had great respect for Emperor Ming who was once the Saint of Taiping. However, Mrs. Guo could not accept a woman taking charge of the Ming Dynasty, so she gradually drifted away from the Ming Dynasty in Taihang.
A woman, without relying on beauty or force, managed to maneuver in this troubled world, carve out a pure land for the Ming Dynasty in a desperate situation, subdue countless heroes, and ascend to the throne of God as a woman. Her abilities and skills can be seen clearly how strong she is.
Therefore, in Mrs. Guo's view, although Emperor Ming was a woman, he was an extremely terrifying person. If Wang Mang cooperated with such a person, there were only two possible outcomes:
1. The two parties joined forces but were still defeated, and were eventually annexed by Qin Hao.
Second, it was used by the Ming Dynasty to defeat the Qin army, but was eventually annexed by the Ming army;
Once the Ming army left Taihang, they would never go back, and Qin Hao was determined to win Bingnan. The princes of Bingnan were between these two big wolves. The final result can be imagined.
Mrs. Guo really kindly reminded Wang Mang, after all, how difficult it was for Wang Mang to deal with Qin Hao during this period. Mrs. Guo also watched the whole process, and Wang Mang was the only one in the southern alliance army who could fight against Qin Hao.
However, Wang Mang didn't care about Mrs. Guo's reminder. He just thought that Mrs. Guo and Emperor Ming would not deal with it, so he stopped him from joining forces with the Ming army.
Wang Mang has been completely cornered by Qin Hao. Even if he relies on Bingnan's terrain advantage, he may not be Qin Hao's opponent, and the Ming army in Taihang is his final savior.
Therefore, unless Wang Mang knew the relationship between Qin Hao and Emperor Ming at this time, no one could stop the coalition forces and the Ming army from joining forces to resist Qin, because in Wang Mang's view, this was the general trend.
Under the general trend of resisting Qin, Wang Mang was not worried that the Ming army would not send troops. His only worry was his own safety.
After sending a letter to Taihang for help last time and being rejected, Wang Mang sent several envoys to lobby. In the end, although Emperor Ming relented, he named Wang Mang and asked him to go to Taihang in person. This put Wang Mang in a dilemma.
It would be fine if Emperor Ming didn't mention it, but since he mentioned it, if Wang Mang still doesn't go, it will appear that he has no sincerity in joining forces.
Wang Mang was worried that Emperor Ming, who was suspected of being a time traveler, would imprison him after seeing him. After all, his name as the originator of time travel was probably unknown to all time travellers.
It would be risky to go, but if you don't go, without the help of the Ming army, there is no doubt that Qin Hao will come over.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Mang decided to go. After all, although Emperor Ming would be wary of being a time traveler, he was not the only time traveler in this world. Qin Hao was also the most powerful prince. The two weak time travelers should work together to deal with them.
It's strong.
One hundred thousand Qin troops had already assembled boats to cross the river. After transporting all the grain, grass and military equipment, they could cross the Yellow River and enter Bingzhou at any time, so Wang Mang had to reach cooperation with Emperor Ming as soon as possible.
Wang Mang took Ju Wuba and Liang Lin on an unknown journey to Taihang. The three of them rode hard all the way and quickly passed Hu Pass.
In the late Han Dynasty, there were many famous passes that were easy to defend but difficult to attack, such as Hulao Pass in Sizhou, Hangu Pass in Yongzhou, Tongguan, Lulongsai in Youzhou, Yangping Pass in Yizhou, etc. The most famous pass in Hebei was Huguan.
.
Huguan is the barrier of Bingzhou. It relies on the Eight Paths of Taihang and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In the original history, when Cao Cao was pacifying Hebei, Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan originally surrendered to Cao Cao, but in fact he wanted to play Infernal Affairs. Later, he openly rebelled and defended Huguan.
Generals Yue Jin, Li Dian, and Zhang Yan were not able to capture it. Cao Cao had no choice but to lead his troops to attack in person, but he still could not defeat Hu Pass.
In the end, Cao Cao used a trick to fake surrender and asked Yuan to surrender his generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. Only by pretending to surrender did they capture Hu Pass. This shows how difficult it is to attack Hu Pass head-on.
The main defense of Huguan is Jizhou in the east. As long as Huguan is defended, it will be difficult for the army from the direction of Jizhou to enter Huguan. However, Qin Hao came from Sizhou in the south, so in the battle between the Southern Alliance Army and Qin Hao
, Huguan basically has no effect.
Taihang, the temporary palace of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, instead of fighting, Yuan Shao and Han Fu chose to attack Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. Now that the war in Jizhou has begun and chaos has become, it is finally time for our Ming Dynasty to see the light of day again." Feng Yunshan said with excitement.
"Oh? Yuan Shao and Han Fu actually went to attack the two traitors? It seems that they are planning to annex the weak ones first and then increase their strength to decide the outcome."
After Emperor Ming thought for a moment, he immediately asked: "How is the war situation now?"
"Han Fu sent Han Xin to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Zhang Shicheng, while Yuan Shao personally led an army of 70,000 to attack Chen Youliang. Both Han Xin and Yuan Shao's armies were powerful, but Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang were no match. They lost several battles in a row and lost a lot of their troops.
Now Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang have planned to recall the 10,000 troops each supported Wang Shichong. Even if they are not given, they will not be able to last long even if they are recruited back." Fang Yunshan answered truthfully.
"How can I, the Ming Dynasty, remain indifferent to such a God-given opportunity..."
Emperor Ming was about to give the order, but then someone came to report.
"Your Majesty, please ask for an audience with Wang Mang, the chief general of the Southern Allied Forces."
A trace of surprise flashed in Emperor Ming's beautiful eyes, and then he said with a playful expression: "This Wang Mang actually dares to come. He is very courageous. It seems that I underestimated him. Let him come in."
"promise."
Wang Mang, who was waiting outside the palace, couldn't help but asked eagerly after seeing the soldiers who were interpreting him coming back, "Has Emperor Ming agreed to see me?"
"Your Majesty has an edict, and Prince Xuan Mang has an audience with you."
Wang Mang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately prepared to take Ju Wuba and Liang Lin in. However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the palace, he was stopped by the guard commander Dian Wei.
Wang Mang couldn't help frowning when he saw this and asked: "What is this for?"
Dian Wei looked at Wang Mang, then pointed at Ju Wuba and Liang Lin, saying: "Your Majesty only announced that you are the only one, they can't go in."
Liang Lin was concerned about Wang Mang's safety and couldn't help but said arrogantly: "Why did I go in by the wayside?"
Liang Lin stepped forward and bumped into Dian Wei's shoulder. The huge force hit Dian Wei and made Dian Wei take three steps back.
"What a strength."
Dian Wei showed a solemn look on his face, and then he also bumped into him, and the two of them started to compete shoulder to shoulder.
Boom...
The bricks and stones on the ground had been stepped on and cracked, but the two of them remained motionless, still competing for strength and internal strength, but Liang Lin was obviously more relaxed.
Now that the Ming Army was born on the territory, Wang Mang was also afraid that he would offend others and cause other unnecessary incidents, so he said to Ju Guuba: "Ju Guuba, go and separate them."
"promise."
Juwuba is about 2.3 meters tall and has a waist circumference of 10 girth. He looks like a little giant.
Ju Wuba strode forward and pressed the shoulders of the two of them. Under Dian Weinan's unbelievable gaze, it was as easy as Dian Wei and Liang Lin to separate.
