Chapter 1412: Zhuge Kongming fights against Xuzhou
[Ding dong, Li Jing and Erlongshan defeated Zhu Tianpeng, killing 13,000 enemies, capturing 15,000, and causing 8,000 casualties. After deducting losses, a total of 200 summoning points were awarded. The host currently has a total of 3,480 summoning points. 】
Although Chang'e's plan to instigate Zhu Wen's coup was successful, Zhu Wen's coup ended in failure.
As for the news that Qingzhou Jinyiwei was severely damaged, Qin Hao naturally knew it, but he did not expect that Li Jing could defeat Zhu Tianpeng so quickly without any assistance.
After Zhu Tianpeng's defeat, the rebellion in Qi State was still uncertain, so it was naturally impossible to send troops to Beihai.
The two invading enemies have retreated all the way, and the only thing left is to join forces in Liangshan, Beihai. It is easy to repel Yuan Shao's invading army. The crisis of the two invading princes has actually been resolved.
"Report...an urgent message from Qingzhou."
Qin Hao frowned slightly and opened the letter slowly, then he couldn't help but look shocked.
"Huang Chao is actually dead?" Qin Hao murmured to himself.
Qin Hao has never underestimated Huang Chao, and he was also a character that was already balanced when Qin Hao summoned him for the first time. He is definitely the earliest summoned character born, and among all the summoned characters born so far
, Huang Chao is definitely the person who has the greatest influence on this world.
It was he who helped Zhang Jiao perfect the Yellow Turban doctrine, and it was he who formulated a three-step unified strategy for the Yellow Turban, and he was the first to propose the "Heavenly Land Acquisition System".
The reason why the Yellow Turban Uprising was able to achieve results far beyond the original history, which completely broke the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and also weakened the strength of the world's aristocratic families, Huang Chao definitely took the greatest credit, and the role he played even surpassed Zhang Jiao.
If Qin Hao hadn't defeated Huang Chao in the Battle of Kaifeng, completely ending his possibility of taking charge of the Yellow Turban, Huang Chao would have defeated Xiang Yu and become Zhang Jiao's successor. If he had become Emperor Ming, the world would have been completely new.
situation.
"After Li Yuan, Yang Jian, Wang Shichong, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and others, we have finally fallen into Huang Chao.
Except for Song Jiang, most of the princes who were initially balanced have fallen.
But even though they are dead, more new heroes have appeared in the world. They are more difficult to deal with than the former, and it is still not easy to dominate the world."
Qin Hao sighed lightly, but what was more in his heart was expectation. Now he no longer cares about how strong his opponent is, but is worried that his opponent is too weak.
After all, if the opponent is too weak, wouldn't it be very boring to dominate the world?
Looking at the map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty in front of him, Qin Hao's eyes moved away from Qingzhou and landed on Xuzhou.
"The negotiations with Cao Cao have ended long ago. Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have led their troops to Xuzhou secretly. They should have almost arrived by now." Qin Hao murmured to himself.
Qin Hao's guess was absolutely correct. Not only had Zhuge Liang and the others arrived in Xuzhou, but they had already fought against Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very determined to destroy Liu Bei, so he directly dispatched 80,000 troops in this battle, accounting for 70% of the total force under his command, just to defeat Liu Bei in one battle, eliminate all troubles, and unify Xuzhou.
Even if Liu Bei had the support of the Xuzhou family, his total strength was only thirty to forty thousand. Even if he added Zhuge Liang's twenty thousand, his overall strength was still far behind Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhuge Liang also knew Zhu Yuanzhang's strength. Even if he brought all 20,000 troops to Xiapi, it would be worse for the overall war situation than being independent, so he did not immediately go to support Liu Bei, but hung out alone to look for opportunities.
Donghai County and Tan County were the administrative offices of Xuzhou during the Tao Qian period.
As Tao Qian was defeated again and again, even the political office was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he had to move the political office to Pengcheng. As a result, even Pengcheng was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang later, and Tao Qian had no choice but to retreat and move the political office to the final place.
Pi.
As the original administrative seat of Xuzhou, Tan County's role for Zhu Yuanzhang was undoubtedly undoubted. There was a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance stored in the city.
Zhuge Liang planned to use Tan County to help Zhu Yuanzhang encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. By conquering Tan County, he could not only obtain grain and supplies, but also force Zhu Yuanzhang to retreat from Xiapi. It was the best of both worlds.
Zhuge Liang had never underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang, but he underestimated another person, the Tan County guard Zhu Wenzheng.
In the original history, Zhu Wenzheng was in the isolated city during the Battle of Hongdu and resisted the attack of Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army.
Although there are only four thousand defenders in Tan County, no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than during the Hongdu siege.
Under Zhu Wenzheng's vigorous defense, Zhuge Liang's 20,000 troops were unable to attack, forcing Zhuge Liang to even send Jiang Song and Yuwen to Chengdu.
In addition, Qin Hao wanted to send Lu Bu to Xuzhou with him before. In fact, he also wanted Lu Bu to trigger historical achievements so as to improve his abilities.
Lu Bu had not been home for many years, and now his family was finally reunited. He did not want his wife and children to be separated again, so he declined this mission.
Lu Bu himself was unwilling to go into battle. He didn't want this opportunity, and Qin Hao couldn't force him to go into battle, so he temporarily sent you Yuwen Chengdu to replace Lu Bu.
Zhuge Liang planned Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu as his trump cards, hiding them until the critical moment and then bringing them out. However, he did not expect that Zhu Wenzheng would be so difficult to deal with, forcing him to expose these two trump cards in advance.
With the addition of Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu, two super skilled men, the siege became much easier. It took only two days to conquer Tan County, and Zhu Wen escaped by hiding among the chaos.
After capturing Tan County, Zhuge Liang obtained a large amount of supplies and forced Zhu Yuanzhang to divide his troops to retake Tan County.
That's right, even if Tan County was captured, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not withdraw his troops. He ordered Xu Shiji to lead an army of 30,000 men to return to the rescue, and ordered various places to send additional reinforcements to Tan County.
Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement was foolproof, but because he didn't even know who his opponent was, he underestimated his opponent after all. Tan County had already been conquered by Zhuge Liang before the reinforcements he sent arrived.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not retreat, Zhuge Liang became even more wary of him. He also understood that ordinary strategies were of no use to him, so he overturned all previous arrangements and began to formulate a new strategic plan.
Zhuge Liang didn't know much about Xu Shiji's deeds, but he also knew that he was a famous general in the Yellow Turbans, and he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Zhuge Liang didn't want to fight a war of attrition with Xu Shiji in Tan County with limited troops, which would only use his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's hiding place, so he gave up Tan County directly and left with a large amount of supplies to support Liu Bei, leaving everyone behind.
Xu Shiji, who had come all the way, missed the opportunity.
The battle in Xuzhou was already a foregone conclusion, Liu Bei was destined to lose, and Zhu Yuanzhang was bound to unify Xuzhou. However, with the arrival of Zhuge Liang, the situation in Xuzhou also changed slightly.
