Chapter 1152: Iron Bones
"My lord, with our army capturing Hangu Pass, the battle situation in Sizhou has been completely dominated."
Han Fei said to Qin Hao with a happy face: "This time we captured a large amount of food and grass from the Buddha extermination. Now our army's food and grass are enough to support the unification of Sizhou, and we no longer need to rely on the food and grass transportation from Jingbei."
"If this is the case, then send an order to annex the four northern counties and immediately stop the supply of grain and grass to Sizhou."
After Qin Hao thought for a while, he asked again: "By the way, how is Liu Xiu's situation in Jingnan?"
Qin Hao did not ignore Liu Xiu in Jingnan, he would always inquire about it whenever he thought of it.
Seeing that his lord asked Liu Xiu for information again, Liu Bowen immediately said: "Liu Xiu is really extraordinary. Since he led ten thousand troops into Jingnan, although his military strength was at an absolute disadvantage, he fought hundreds of battles and always suppressed Zhang Xian.
Now Liu Xiu has completely occupied Lingling County and half of Guiyang County, forcing Zhang Xian and Han Xuan to form an alliance. The two sides can only barely resist Liu Xiu's invasion. "
Qin Hao nodded when he heard this. This was completely expected. After all, if Liu Xiu couldn't solve Han Xuan and Zhang Xian, his title as Emperor Guangwu would be in vain.
The reason why Liu Xiu wasted so long in Jingnan was that after an army expansion, in order to prevent Yue Fei from Xiangyang from going south, he also detached half of his elite troops and returned to Jiangling. He defeated Zhang Xian with only 5,000 veterans. Wan Dajun was playing around.
Although Liu Xiu currently poses little threat to Qin Hao, Qin Hao will not watch him grow stronger. He immediately said: "Instruct Yue Fei, the governor of Xiangyang, to do his best to prevent Liu Xiu from occupying the four counties in Jingnan. If necessary, he can send troops to capture Jiangling." County, in order to force Liu Xiu to abandon Jingnan and rescue Jiangling."
Previously, Qin Hao had not allowed Yue Fei to send troops to Jiangling. Firstly, he did not want to open a front before unifying Sizhou. Secondly, there was not enough grain stored in the grain depot to support the more than 200,000 Qin troops fighting in Sizhou and Jingbei at the same time.
Now that the battle in Sizhou is about to enter its final stage, and enough food and grass have been seized due to the destruction of Buddha, Qin Hao will certainly not stop Yue Fei from sending troops to Jiangling and completely expel Liu Xiu's forces from Jingbei.
Yue Fei and Zhang Jiuling, who were far away in Xiangyang, were excited after receiving Qin Hao's order. Although Liu Xiu left a lot of defenders in Jiangling, the defenders were not looked down upon by Yue Fei. As long as the lord allowed to send troops, He would be absolutely sure to completely capture Jiangling.
"By the way, when will Tan Daoji's army return to Luoyang?" Qin Hao asked.
"I think we should be able to return to Luoyang within three days. After all, we don't need General Tan's men to handle the transportation of the seized materials." Liu Bowen said.
Qin Hao nodded and said: "Instruct the Women's Army, Nine Dragon Guards, Iron Guards, Guards and other battalions in Luoyang City to be ready for expedition at any time. Once Tan Daoji's army returns, I will personally lead the troops to Yewang City."
"promise."
After thinking for a while, Qin Hao gave another order, saying: "When our army destroys the Buddhist temple, any prisoners of war who are caught in the way will be sent to Yique Pass and handed over to Wen Ruo for processing.
Yuan Shu is unwilling to return Xuanyuan Pass to our army. If Yique Pass is not rebuilt, Sizhou's defense system will not be perfect after all, so Yique Pass must be rebuilt as soon as possible. "
"promise."
After working hard for a long time, Qin Hao finally finished the military affairs at hand, and then came to the dungeon of Lai Jinyiwei to meet an extremely important prisoner, she was Zhao Min.
Zhao Min has been extremely tough since she was kidnapped back to Luoyang by Qin Hao. Qin Hao neither abused her nor tortured her, but she went on a hunger strike to express her will, as if she wanted to die, without any information. willing to disclose.
Before, Qin Hao had a lot of things to do, so he forgot about Zhao Min. Now that Qin Hao finally has time, he naturally has to deal with this trouble personally.
Now Zhao Min already knows that the master master Qin Hao who betrayed her is actually her brother's mortal enemy Qin Hou Qin Hao. Naturally, she is also very angry that Qin Hao deceived her.
Seeing that Qin Hao finally came to see her, Zhao Min immediately glared at him fiercely and said fiercely: "Liar, just kill me. Even if I, Zhao Min, die, I won't tell you anything."
Qin Hao looked at Zhao Min who was tied up in front of him, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, you will tell."
Zhao Min smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "I'm not even afraid of death. What methods do you have that can be more terrifying than death?"
Qin Hao's eyes looked back and forth on Zhao Min, and finally landed on Zhao Min's feet. He then stepped forward and said with a wicked smile: "There are more ways to be more terrifying than death in this world."
With that said, Qin Hao took off Zhao Min's shoes under Zhao Min's uneasy gaze, and then...tickled him.
Zhao Min was already very ticklish, but Qin Hao was so ruthless that Zhao Min even burst into tears from laughter under the severe itch.
"Ah, haha, it's so itchy, Qin Hao, you bastard, you will use such dirty tricks, I will never give in, ah, it's so itchy..."
Qin Hao, who had watched the TV series, of course knew that Zhao Min was the most ticklish, so he directly used such tricks to manipulate Zhao Min. As expected, the effect was much better than torture. Zhao Min, who had always been tough-talking, quickly gave in.
"Hahaha, it's so itchy, Qin Hao, don't try to make me give in with this, I, Zhao Min, won't say anything until I die.
Let alone just scratching an itch, I, Zhao Min, would not even blink an eye even if I were to be stabbed with axes, gouged out my heart, or burned with a cannon.
Absolutely not, never, no, it can’t work anymore, it’s too itchy, I can’t stand it anymore, I said, I said it can’t be done yet, I said it. "
After hearing this, Qin Hao stopped his hand with a speechless expression. Before, he had a stoic look. He wouldn't even say anything about death, and he didn't even blink an eye when he was about to bake a pot of water. In the end, he couldn't even hold back the itch.
Oh, it smells so good!
Qin Hao looked at Zhao Min with a smile on his face and said, "If you don't want to suffer any more, just take it as it is. As for the consequences of deceiving me, you must know."
Zhao Min looked at Qin Hao with tears in his eyes, and said without tears: "Qin Hao, you are simply despicable and shameless."
Qin Hao knocked on his white front teeth: "Look, what is this."
"you……"
Zhao Min was so angry that Qin Hao could not speak, and just to prevent Qin Hao from teasing her anymore, he immediately said in a deep voice: "I can tell you everything I know, but you must agree to one condition. "
"Zhao Min, I'm afraid you haven't seen the situation clearly yet. Are you qualified to negotiate terms with me now?"
With that said, Qin Hao's claws stretched out towards Zhao Min's feet again. Zhao Min immediately showed fear when he saw this and shouted quickly: "I don't want you to let me go, I just want to change to a better cell." , I don’t want to be locked up like this anymore.”
Qin Hao glanced at Zhao Min suspiciously, retracted his claws, and said: "This can be considered reluctantly."
