In a world of great struggle, if you don’t win, you will be defeated; if you don’t fight, you will be destroyed.
Just when Qin Hao was preparing for the decisive battle with the Yellow Turbans, Temujin of the Xiongnu became extremely restless.
After Temujin became the new chanyu, the Huns had already begun preparations to unify Mobei before they even recovered their previous losses.
And once Temujin really unifies Mobei, will Xianbei and Wuhuan, who have sharp internal conflicts, really be able to stop Temujin from unifying the grasslands?
Anyway, Qin Hao has little confidence in Xianbei and Wuhuan, but there is nothing he can do about it. He leaked Temujin in the first place, and now he has become a serious problem.
But now that even Li Shimin and Yang Jian have been born, Qin Hao is not overly afraid of Temujin. After all, he has too much debt and is no longer burdened!
For the current Qin Hao, the most important thing now is to win this battle and at the same time seek more benefits for the Yanmen Army after the war.
Both the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turbans are making full preparations for war, and if nothing unexpected happens, the Yellow Turbans will be able to complete war preparations in a month, leaving the Han Dynasty not much time.
Qin Hao only gave Ran Min three days to rectify the Yulin Army's Huben Camp, but Ran Min only used two days to master the Three Thousand Jingqi simply and crudely.
Ran Min was originally one of the three major captains of Huben Camp, and the only obstacle to completely taking over Huben Camp was the other two captains, one of whom was still a good friend of him, so it naturally took less than three days.
When Qin Hao inspected the Huben Camp, he was also surprised by the combat power of the Huben Camp. Liu Hong did not deal with Qin Hao. The Huben Camp was not much inferior to the Yanmen Army. There were still elite soldiers in the Han Army.
After taking control of Huben Camp, Qin Hao had nothing to do in Luoyang. After all, Liu Ye and Ma Jun were responsible for making the Thunderbolt wheel and forwarding the stone cart, and he couldn't help at all.
So in the last month, the only thing Qin Hao did was to have a good presence in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and to exchange feelings with Silly Baitian Liu Mu.
To be honest, when Qin Hao faces Liu Mu now, he always feels guilty. After all, he deceived a girl's feelings, which makes Qin Hao, who aims at being the 'strongest emperor in the world', extremely ashamed.
But the key point is that people are willing to cheat and are willing to be deceived by themselves. What can Qin Hao do?
While Qin Hao's shame grew, his affection for Liu Mu also continued to grow.
Regardless of the grievances between the ancestors, in terms of character and character, Liu Mu's extremely simple character is really suitable for Qin Hao's temper.
Unknowingly, Qin Hao didn't even know that he actually had extremely complicated feelings for Liu Mu.
Of course, in addition to falling in love, Qin Hao also made friends with a large number of future princes, including Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, Liu Dai, Liu Yao, Han Fu, Kong Miao, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi,
Bao Xin et al.
Most of the eighteen princes who jointly attacked Dong are now gathering in Luoyang, and it is worth mentioning that Sun Jian, who originally served under Zhu Jun, also led his troops to Luoyang not long ago to provide support.
Among the three generals in the late Han Dynasty, Zhu Jun was the one with the worst luck. Among the three major battles in the Central Plains, only Zhu Jun was defeated repeatedly.
The Yuzhou that Zhu Jun suppressed was the most powerful state of the Yellow Turbans. He was like leading his army directly into Jin's stronghold.
The opponents Zhu Jun encountered were even more powerful. They could be called the strongest commanders of the Yellow Turbans. They were Xiang Yu's grandfather Xiang Yan and uncle Xiang Liang.
Facing such an opponent, even with the help of heroes like Sun Jian, Zhu Jun still could not escape defeat. It was not easy to ensure that the army would not be defeated.
Zhu Jun, who suffered repeated defeats, finally led his troops to retreat to Nanyang to defend the city to prevent the Yellow Turban forces from spreading to Jingzhou.
With the help of local aristocratic families in Nanyang, while blocking the Yuzhou Yellow Turbans, Zhu Jun also established a firm foothold in Nanyang and sent Sun Jian to lead his troops to support Luoyang.
The period before the decisive battle can be said to be the most leisurely time Qin Hao had after leaving the army.
When Qin Hao was bored, he went to chat with the future princes, drink wine, and enjoy the unique songs and dances of the late Han Dynasty.
While Qin Hao became familiar with Liu Mu, he also became familiar with other royal members in the harem.
The majestic Queen Mother Dou and the mature and charming Queen He, the two most powerful women in the harem, both like Qin Hao.
Liu Bian, a young man, and Liu Xie, a young lady, are both fans of Qin Hao. When they see Qin Hao, they call him "brother-in-law".
The happy time is always short-lived. Just when Qin Hao was feeling a little happy and reluctant to miss Shu, a military order came from Hulao Pass. Qin Hao knew that his vacation was over without even looking at it.
As Qin Hao expected, the military order stated that the Yellow Turbans had completed preparations for the war. Zhang Jiao personally led the generals and led the 250,000 vanguard troops and was preparing to attack Hulao Pass.
The decisive battle was approaching, and Qin Hao did not dare to neglect too much. He asked Ran Min to be responsible for transporting the built catapult, while he went to Hulao Pass to take charge.
……
Yanzhou, Chenliu, Zhangjiao Daying.
The million-strong army has exceeded the total population of Chenliu. Naturally, it cannot be stationed only in Chenliu County, but is scattered throughout Yanzhou.
Hulao Pass is the east gate of Sili and the only way to Luoyang. Even if the Yellow Turbans have a million troops, they still cannot bypass Hulao Pass.
Following Zhang Jiao's order, the 200,000 king's vanguard troops had quickly assembled. They only waited for Zhang Jiao's order and immediately set off to Hulao Pass.
Zhang Jiao is now on a high earth platform. Two extremely tall and powerful warriors, one holding a pair of halberds and the other holding a pair of hammers, are guarding Zhang Jiao.
Seeing that the troops below were neatly arranged, and the soldiers were not only motionless, but also showed perseverance on their faces, Zhang Jiao stroked his long beard with satisfaction, smiled and said to Xiang Yan on the side: "This training lasted for more than half a year, it was really hard work.
Yan Gong (Xiang Yan) is here. With such a heroic army, why worry about the undefeated Han Dynasty?"
The million-strong army was favored by the resources of the Yellow Turbans, and had been trained for more than half a year under the leadership of Xiang Yan. It has already been transformed, and its combat power is far from what it was half a year ago.
"We are all members of our own family, so it's hard work." Xiang Yan smiled lightly and continued: "But the individual capabilities of the soldiers are probably still not as good as those of the Han army."
"No problem." Zhang Jiao immediately smiled and said: "Looking at the strength of the army, even if it is not as good as it is, it is probably not far away. And our army's strength far exceeds that of the Han army, which can make up for this shortcoming."
Then, protected by two warriors, Zhang Jiao walked slowly to the front of the stage and shouted angrily to the soldiers below.
"Soldiers, we come from all over the world, some from Jizhou, some from Yangzhou, and some from Yanzhou, but we have one thing in common, that is, we were all born into poor people. The great Han Dynasty is corrupt and the emperor is fatuous and does not give us poor people anything.
What do you think we should do to leave a way to survive?"
"Destroy the tyrants and kill the foolish kings."
Two hundred and fifty thousand people roared together, and the sound resounded through the sky.
Seeing this scene, all the commanders felt extremely proud in their hearts. It was worth it to follow the great teacher in this life.
