After 150,000 Ming troops stationed at Hulao Pass, the Han army was either attacking or not, and it could be said that it was in a dilemma. Of course, this had nothing to do with Qin Hao.
Qin Hao only brought three thousand light cavalry with him on this trip. It is impossible for him to use cavalry to attack the city, right?
This confrontation will definitely not end for a while, so Qin Hao has decided to return to Nanyang, but just before leaving, a person brought Qin Hao surprising news.
Han Army Camp, Nanyang Army Station.
It was late at night, but the oil lamp was still lit in Qin Hao's camp. It was obvious that Qin Hao was meeting an extremely important person, and he was Wei Zhuang.
"Lord, we have important information."
Wei Zhuang handed over a scroll with a stern expression. When he saw the word "Tianyi" written on the seal, Qin Hao's pupils shrank immediately, because this was information personally transmitted by the Tianzi No. 1 spy.
Compared with the Black Ice Platform, which monitors the world's nine states, the Jinyiwei is indeed much smaller in scale, but it directly targets the top leaders of the two major forces of the Han and Ming Dynasties, so its role is undoubtedly greater.
All the functions and tasks of the Jin Yiwei intelligence organization are carried out around the four secret agents of the world, Xuan Huang. It can be said that these four people are the soul of Jin Yiwei.
The two secret spies, Xuan and Huang, were both lurking in the Ming Dynasty. The number one Xuan was the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty Jia Guo (Guo Jia), while the number one Huang was the Ming Emperor Zhang Sheng.
The Ming Dynasty is the biggest rival of the Han Dynasty, but the emperor and the second assistant are both people of the Han Dynasty's consort Qin Hao. This is probably impossible for anyone to think of.
The two great spies, heaven and earth, were both lurking within the Han Dynasty. Among them, the number one earth character was Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Constant Attendants, who was directly lurking next to Han Emperor Liu Hong.
As for the most mysterious Tian Zi No. 1, Qin Hao placed him next to Dong Zhuo. This shows that Qin Hao was more afraid of Dong Zhuo than the Han Dynasty.
With the addition of major talents from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Liangzhou faction headed by Dong Zhuo became increasingly powerful, and was about to have a land that controlled both states.
Compared with the Qin family and the Jin family, the Liangzhou faction is undoubtedly stronger, so Qin Hao really has no choice but to be wary of it, and Tianzi No. 1 is Qin Hao's secret weapon.
Tian Zi No. 1 is a trump card that cannot be used easily. Therefore, he has not contacted Qin Hao once since joining Dong Zhuo's command, but at this time, he personally conveyed the information. This also shows the validity of this information.
Importance.
Qin Hao felt the seriousness of the matter and quickly opened the seal and started browsing.
There are many contents in the scroll, but the most important piece of information is that Emperor Ming Zhang Sheng is a woman.
The information on the Tianzi No. 1 scroll was very detailed. Li Xiuning had discovered Zhang Sheng's daughter, so Li Shimin decided to use all the power of the Liangzhou Clan to spread the news throughout the Central Plains in the shortest possible time.
"Damn it, Hong'er has hidden it from everyone in the world, but who would have thought that Li Xiuning would find out."
At this time, Qin Hao also had some regrets. If he had not rescued Li Xiuning, Zhang Sheng's identity might not have been exposed, but it was too late to regret it.
Factions within the Ming Dynasty are complex. Once the news spreads that Emperor Ming is a woman, even if Zhang Sheng can get the support of Yanzhou, will the other princes from other places continue to support her?
"All your schemes can be defeated with one move. Li Shimin, you are such a ruthless schemer."
It is not difficult for Qin Hao to imagine that once the news comes out that Sheng is a woman, even if the Ming Dynasty will not fall apart immediately, it will definitely collapse without a fight, and Li Shimin will be the only beneficiary.
Qin Hao was thinking a lot, but he didn't think of any way to stop it, because Li Shimin couldn't give up spreading rumors.
Suddenly, Qin Hao missed Nanyang's advisers.
"If Liu Bowen and Wang Meng were here, there should be something they can do, right?"
Without the adviser group, Qin Hao could only rely on himself. After pondering for a while, Qin Hao immediately picked up his pen and started writing.
"Weizhuang, hurry up and pass this scroll to the Huang Zi Department. It must be handed over to Huang Zi No. 1 as soon as possible."
"No."
Although Wei Zhuang was the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he did not know the true identities of the four spies, and he knew the importance of this information from the look on Qin Hao's face, so he did not dare to be disrespectful and left overnight.
The next day, Qin Hao came to ask Li Shimin to resign on the grounds of rebellion in Nanyang.
Li Shimin tried every means to persuade him to stay, but Qin Hao refused to leave. In desperation, he only let Qin Hao go, and sent him thousands of grains and grass and thousands of horses from Xiliang to thank Qin Hao for coming to help.
Although there is no shortage of war horses in Bingzhou, who would be dissatisfied with the lack of war horses? So Qin Hao did not refuse.
A trace of complexity flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and then he smiled and saluted: "Thank you, brother Shimin."
Qin Hao withdrew his troops and returned, and Li Shimin saw him off ten miles away. Seeing this, Qin Hao's resentment dissipated a little.
Regardless of other things, Li Shimin is still very angry with Qin Hao, but it is a pity that the two are destined to be rivals.
Li Shimin went back after seeing him off for ten miles, while Li Xiuning continued to see Qin Hao off for his brother.
Seeing that the march had already gone 20 miles, Qin Hao said to him calmly: "Miss Xiuning, we have already sent you 20 miles, and we will really have to go to Luoyang if we send you off again, so please come back, girl, and I won't bother you for the rest of the journey."
”
Li Xiuning always felt that Qin Hao's attitude towards her seemed a little wrong. If it was dull and enthusiastic before, now it is Chi Guoguo's indifference.
Li Xiuning didn't know why this happened, but she really didn't want to continue like this, so she mustered up the courage to ask: "Does the Marquis have any misunderstanding about Xiuning?"
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment and then secretly sighed in his heart. He was still far away from the state where joy and anger could not be expressed through expression!
"No, how could it be possible?" Qin Hao forced a smile.
Li Xiuning was overjoyed when she saw this, so she grabbed Qin Hao's hand and said eagerly: "But you were clearly not like this before. Did something happen?"
With Li Xiuning's brave behavior, Qin Hao naturally knew that she had deep feelings for him, but he had never flirted with her at all?
Is there any?
No!
Is there any?
No...
Qin Hao shook his head to clear away distracting thoughts, then took out his hand and turned his back to Li Xiuning, saying calmly: "Miss Xiuning, Qin Hao will marry Princess Wannian soon."
Li Xiuning's face instantly turned pale. She naturally knew this, but she just didn't want to think about it. Now Qin Hao personally broke her illusion.
"Xiuning, you are a girl and you should have your own happiness. So, forget me."
Li Xiuning felt as if she heard the sound of heartbreak. Her first love had ended before it even began.
Li Xiuning has never had a crush on any man. Now it's hard to find someone who is attracted to her, but she is destined to be destined to be together.
As for marrying Qin Hao as a concubine?
Even if Li Xiuning is willing, Li Yuan and Li Shimin are definitely not willing.
Let Princess Wannian be your concubine? That’s even more impossible.
