Chapter 415: The family’s first compromise with the people
The Yellow Turbans can only go south to attack Guangcheng Pass if they capture Yique Pass. Of course, Xiang Yu can also choose to go east to attack Xuanyuan Pass, but Qin Hao's main force is in Guangcheng Pass, so even if he doesn't have to spend a lot of money on Xuanyuan Pass.<
/p>
Once Yique Pass is lost, the three directions of Xuanyuan Pass, east, west, and north will be the Yellow Turbans' sphere of influence, and the food and grass at Guangcheng Pass will definitely not be transported, so even if they want to resist, they will not be able to hold on for a few months.
"Lord, there are definitely only a few rebels in Yique Pass. With three thousand cavalry, the general can definitely recapture Yique Pass." Xiong Kuohai asked with confidence.
"In this case, I order you to lead three thousand cavalry to the rescue. If Yique Pass is lost, return immediately." Qin Hao ordered.
"No." Xiong Kuohai responded, then strode away.
After half a day, Xiongkuohai finally returned without success.
"The Yellow Turban army has already entered the city before the final general arrived, so we had to kill the pursuing army and protect the remaining army from returning." Xiong Kuohai reported.
Qin Hao signaled Xiongkuohai to stand up, and then said to the kneeling Shan Xiongxin: "Shan Xiongxin, I would like to ask you, why were the tens of thousands of defenders at Yique Pass lost so quickly?"
After Qin Hao left Yique Pass, he appointed Shan Xiongxin as the guard general of Yique Pass. Even if Yique Pass was lost due to internal rebellion, Shan Xiongxin, as the guard general, was still responsible.
"My lord, since the Yellow Turbans implemented the land-dividing policy, the morale of the military in Guan has been in turmoil. The general has taken strict precautions, but who knows that the Yellow Turban spies took advantage of the loophole... The general is willing to take full responsibility." Kneel down on one knee.
Shan Xiongxin said with regret.
"The Land and Acre System of the Kingdom of Heaven" is simply a nuclear bomb for the Han Dynasty. Now, not only the common people all over the world yearn for the Yellow Turbans, but also many soldiers in the Han army yearn for the Yellow Turbans.
After all, the soldiers of the Han army were ordinary people, but the Yellow Turbans, as rebels, gave them what even the Han soldiers could not give them, so it was inevitable that the hearts of the Han soldiers would change.
This situation continued to spread like a virus, not only in Qin Hao's army, but also in Qin Wen's army, but they were skillfully calmed down by the two of them using various means.
However, this was only treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. It was not until the Chang'an court promulgated the "Dahan Land Acquisition System" that the situation finally began to turn around.
The advent of the "Dahan Land Acquisition System" was the result of many discussions, and it was also the first compromise between aristocratic families and the common people.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was actually a war between the common people and the aristocratic families. Such wars had happened before, but they were all violently suppressed by the aristocratic families.
But this time the attack was too fierce, forcing the family to sacrifice their interests and make compromises in order to appease the anger of the people.
"The Land Acre System of the Han Dynasty" is actually the castrated version of the "Land Acre System of the Kingdom of Heaven", but even the castrated version is already very rare and valuable, and it also gives the Han Dynasty a precious breathing space.
Of course, it can only be a breather. Now that the people in the world are alienated from the Han Dynasty, even if the Han Dynasty defeats the Yellow Turbans, it will only be destroyed sooner or later.
Qin Hao naturally knew why Yique Pass was lost, and in order to put on a good show, he pretended to be furious and wanted to kill Shan Xiongxin. Then when a general interceded, he let Shan Xiongxin go and continued with the following plan.
.
Currently, only Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling are aware of Qin Hao's plan. Everyone else is kept in the dark, because this way the drama can be real enough and can be hidden from Zhang Liang.
Afterwards, Qin Hao came to Shan Xiongxin's room. When Shan Xiongxin saw Qin Hao's arrival, he quickly got out of bed to greet him, but the injury he had received from the stick hadn't healed yet, so he almost fell down.
Qin Hao supported Shan Xiongxin and said: "Since this is the case, there is no need to be polite."
After Qin Hao helped Shan Xiongxin lie down, he said: "General Shan, I have wronged you."
"This little pain of flesh and blood is nothing."
Shan Xiongxin smiled, and then asked with a serious face: "My lord, for such an important task, you are willing to hand over one of my subordinates to the general. Aren't you afraid that the general will pretend to be real?"
"Not afraid." Qin Hao smiled confidently and said, "I believe in the general's character."
Shan Xiongxin was extremely moved when he heard this, and said: "But I am Wang Shichong's son-in-law..."
Before Shan Xiongxin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Hao.
"I am confident in my vision, so I am willing to gamble with my life. I believe that General Shan you will never betray me. If you really betray me, it only means that my vision is not good, and my death will be in vain."
."
Shan Xiongxin opened his mouth, with thousands of words in his mind, but he couldn't say a word. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Shan Xiongxin will die to repay the lord's trust."
Qin Hao laughed when he heard this and said: "Don't always say you will die. I want you to live and follow me to make achievements together."
"No!"
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, but Shan Xiongxin hesitated for a while and finally asked: "My lord, is this plan too big? What if..."
"Nothing goes wrong, even my lord risked his life to participate personally, what are you afraid of?"
"But what the general is worried about is the safety of the lord."
"Don't worry, if I don't have a way to protect myself, how can I dare to take risks?"
…………
Yiqueguan.
There were only three people in the huge meeting hall, namely Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang and Ji Bu.
Xiang Yu was sitting on the main seat. After listening to Ji Bu's story, he immediately asked excitedly: "Shan Xiongxin said this?"
"Yes." Ji Bu nodded heavily and continued: "Shan Xiongxin said that with Qin Hao's personality, he will definitely not kill him this time, but he will seek opportunities to dedicate Guangcheng Pass to our army." "With Qin Hao's personality, it is indeed unlikely that he would kill a general before a battle." Zhang Liang pondered.
"This is the distribution map of the Han army. Shan Xiongxin drew it from memory after seeing it."
As he spoke, Ji Bu presented the map in his hand to Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu took a look at it, his face suddenly showed solemnity and he said: "If the layout is as shown in the map, Guangcheng Pass will be really difficult to fight.
Did Shan Xiongxin explain how to capture Guangcheng Pass for our army?"
"No, he's not completely sure either. He just said he'd do his best."
Xiang Yu nodded. If Shan Xiongxin said he was absolutely sure, he would have to doubt his intentions. After all, how can there be absolute certainty in this kind of thing?
"Shan Xiongxin said that if there is no way to break through the barrier within ten days, another plan will be implemented, and this requires our cooperation..."
Xiang Yu's eyes widened, and he burst out laughing after hearing this, saying: "Qin Hao, Qin Hao, let's see if you survive this time."
Xiang Yu originally doubted whether Shan Xiongxin would be faking his surrender, but now it seems that Shan Xiongxin is really sincere.
Rescue Ji Bu, capture Yique Pass, and...
Shan Xiongxin secretly helped Xiang Yu solve a lot of troubles, so Xiang Yu naturally gave up his suspicion.
