The news of the lightning loss of the three counties spread throughout Nanyang like a hurricane, and all the county magistrates were frightened.
Originally, as soon as the news of Qin Hao's appointment as the governor of Nanyang came out, it put pressure on many people.
After all, Qin Hao is the man who defeated the God of War Xiang Yu several times. With him as the governor of Nanyang, who can be sure to prevent the unification of Nanyang?
And now, all three counties fell in one day, which also made all the county magistrates loyal to the Ming Dynasty feel suffocated by Qin Hao's powerful military power.
The difference in strength is really huge!
Under such lack of confidence, several counties closer to Wancheng have already surrendered, while those further away are also preparing to surrender.
As for those diehard Yellow Turbans, they are ready to unite to fight against the enemy. After all, if they don't unite, they will really be wiped out one by one.
The Nanyang Yellow Turbans, which were originally scattered, are quickly moving towards unity and becoming a whole under the tremendous pressure brought by Qin Hao.
But what they didn't know was that what they did was exactly what Qin Hao wanted to see.
Attacking the city one by one, how can it be convenient to wait for the opponents to gather together and eliminate them together?
Therefore, Qin Hao not only did not send troops to intercept, but instead allowed the troops from various counties in Nanyang to gather together. What was about to greet them was the 10,000 infantry and cavalry army commanded by Bai Qi.
Looking at Bai Qi in the center of the hall below, Qin Hao asked with a smile: "General Bai Qi, the total number of enemy troops is about 30,000, are you sure of this?"
"Don't worry, my lord, we will win this battle." Bai Qi said indifferently, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.
Ten thousand people attack and thirty thousand people defend. The number of defenders is three times greater than that of the attackers. It should be an impossible task.
But coming from Bai Qi's mouth made Qin Hao feel unusually relieved, but Qin Hao shook his head and said:
"Bai Qi, you misunderstood. I have never doubted the victory of this battle. I just want to know how long do you want to take to conquer all the remaining counties?"
Bai Qi frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although the opponent has a large number of people in this battle, they were only put together at random after all. Their combat effectiveness must be limited, and there are no famous generals in the opponent's army, so Bai Qi has absolute confidence in winning this battle.
But when it comes to conquering the remaining counties, Bai Qi is not sure. After all, there are more than 20 counties.
After Bai Qi thought for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Within two months, the general will be able to conquer Nanyang."
Conquering more than 20 counties in two months was already quite fast, but Qin Hao still shook his head.
"I will give you another five thousand soldiers and horses. Can it be completed within a month?"
One month?
All the generals present could not help but frown. In their opinion, this time was too short. Some even thought that Qin Hao was dissatisfied with Bai Qi.
Of course, Qin Hao cannot be dissatisfied with Bai Qi. The reason why he asked Bai Qi to complete it within a month is because after Xiang Yu pushed Nanyang horizontally once, Nanyang is now like a blank piece of paper, which is perfect for Qin Hao to show off his talents.
And if the time drags on for too long and the Nanyang family hiding in Guanzhong returns, it will cause a lot of trouble for Qin Hao's governance.
Qin Hao has no foundation in Nanyang, so he must make arrangements in advance before the family returns, otherwise his fruits of victory will be stolen by the Nanyang family.
Bai Qi didn't consider political factors. He approached it from a military perspective. After thinking for a long time, he finally clasped his fists and said in a deep voice:
"If there is help from the trapped camp and the broken military camp, we will be sure to complete the mission within a month."
Qin Hao finally showed a happy smile, Bai Qi, you really won't let me down.
"Okay, I will send out the second battalion of Zhenzhen and Bajun, as well as the two iron tiger guards, to gather five thousand elites for you."
Bai Qi immediately showed joy and bowed: "Thank you, Lord!"
What general wouldn't want to lead an elite force, and the broken army and the iron guards are truly the most elite elite troops in the world.
To be able to command these four elite troops at once is a dream come true.
Bai Qi led an army of 15,000 people and headed straight for the Nanyang Allied Forces. A battle related to the ownership of Nanyang was about to begin.
At the same time, Qin Hao from Wancheng received a message from Guo Jia through emergency channels.
At night, a masked waiter in black came to Qin Hao's camp and said respectfully: "My lord, there is an urgent message from No. 1 Xuanzi."
After Yu Shilan was imprisoned, both Xuanhuang and Xuanhuang were under the control of Guo Jia, and Guo Jia basically never took the initiative to contact Qin Hao.
After the black-clad and brocade-clad guards left, Qin Hao quickly opened them.
After reading it, Qin Hao's eyes suddenly froze, because it was not Guo Jia who contacted him, but Zhang Sheng.
In order to prevent Zhang Jiao from discovering any flaws, Qin Hao took the initiative to cut off any contact with Diao Chan, and then the Huangzi Department was handed over to Shi Lan, so Diao Chan had no channel to contact Qin Hao.
Now, not long after Zhang Shenggang became emperor, he used emergency channels to contact himself. It didn't take much to think about it, and he knew that there must be something important.
Qin Hao looked through it carefully and found that Zhang Sheng's letter contained a lot of content, but most of it was not important. Instead, they were complaining to him.
What to say, she encountered some difficulties after becoming emperor, and she was constantly fighting with various individuals all day and night. She also said that she really couldn't hold on anymore.
As he watched, Qin Hao couldn't help but reveal a hint of tenderness at the corner of his mouth. He could clearly feel Diao Chan's reliance on him in her words, but when he saw what happened next, Qin Hao couldn't laugh anymore.
"This silly girl is so naive even after becoming the emperor. If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like you, how could he help you without any reservation?"
Qin Hao couldn't help but feel extremely anxious when he thought that his childhood sweetheart Diao Chan was actually targeted by the cunning and cunning Zhu Yuanzhang.
"You Zhu Yuanzhang, how dare you dig into my Qin Hao's corner? Master, I won't chop off your dog paws, no, they are pig trotters!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Hao's mouth. He already thought of Zhu Yuanzhang as a villain who would do anything for power. He even imagined Zhu Yuanzhang smiling wildly.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao couldn't help but shuddered and said to himself: "No, I must remind Hong'er in the reply, so as not to suffer a loss unprepared!"
As the saying goes, there is no corner that cannot be dug, only Lao Wang who does not work hard.
Although the relationship between Qin Hao and Diao Chan is very stable, they have been separated for such a long time. God knows what means Zhu Yuanzhang, who is close to the water, will use?
Therefore, Qin Hao has decided to use force to communicate with Diao Chan frequently in the future and not give Zhu Yuanzhang any chance!
Qin Hao continued to read, but the last thing he said in Believable shocked Qin Hao.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? Impossible."
Qin Hao's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and he was constantly analyzing in his mind.
