Chapter 1249: Inventive Strategy
Ran Min, Yuwen Chengdu and other five generals went together to explore the identity of the mysterious general, but they ultimately returned without success due to Qin Hao's intervention. This incident also caused quite a stir among the Qin-Jin coalition forces.
The generals of the Qin Army believed that the lord defended this mysterious man so much that he even punished five generals, which was obviously an attempt to win over this fierce man. The Qin Army would have one more general in the near future.
The generals of the Jin army had similar thoughts to the generals of the Qin army, but they couldn't help complaining about the commander-in-chief Wang Meng. Why didn't he take this mysterious fierce man into the Jin army in advance? This way, after Qin and Jin united, the Jin clan would not be overtaken by the Qin clan too much. .
Although the Qin and Jin armies were both founded by Qin Hao and his son, they represented the interests of two different groups of people. Qin Hao and Qin Wen were on top to control them. Although on the surface the two armies were as close as brothers, secretly they were Ye Ziah is constantly competing.
Qin Hao has discovered this a long time ago, but factional disputes are unavoidable no matter what. All he can do is to unite Qin and Jin as soon as possible, so as to avoid the continued expansion of the differences in interests between the two factions.
Different from the random thoughts of the generals of the Qin and Jin armies, when Long Qie, who had brought the Ming army to help the battle, learned about it, he felt jealous and helpless in his heart, and of course he was even more heavy-hearted.
Before leading the army to unite with the Qin army, Long Qie believed that although Qin and Jin were strong, Ming's power was not weak either. If the power of the three mountains were integrated, it would not be weaker than after Qin and Jin merged into one.
But after personally contacting and observing the Qin army, and after arriving in Hetao, and visiting the Jin army, Long Qie no longer dared to think so.
Regardless of the old Iron Army and the Jin Army, let’s talk about the newly formed Qin Army. Its hard training, excellent equipment, strong armor, and sharp swords... It is simply terrifying to see it.
The Qin Army may not have been established for a long time, but it has a large number of generals who are brave and good at training. The overall quality of the entire army is high, not much worse than the main force of the Jin Army.
If coupled with some new equipment that Lian Longqie has never seen before, the Qin army's overall combat power may even surpass the Jin army.
The strength of the army was not enough to shock Long Qie. What made him even more awed was that the quality of the Qin army's commanders and generals was definitely among the best in the world.
Even if Long Qie didn't want to, he had to admit that his old rival Xue Rengui had surpassed him in strength.
But even Xue Rengui was only in the second echelon among the Qin army. There were Li Cunxiao, Jiang Song, Ran Min, Yuwen Chengdu and other generals ahead of him to stabilize him.
In the same echelon as Xue Rengui, there are generals such as Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong.
Long Qie asked himself that with his bravery, he could be ranked among the top three in the Ming Dynasty. The only people better than him were Luo Shixin and Zhu Tianpeng, but he could not even be ranked in the first echelon among the Qin army. This also made Long Qie feel Deep frustration.
The bravery and numbers of Qin's generals are unparalleled in the world.
If the world's fierce generals were divided into ten, Qin Hao had already obtained five of them, leaving no way for other princes to survive.
In addition to powerful generals, the Qin army also had an endless stream of commanders. In the past, there was the "Invincible God of War" Bai Qi, who took the lead alone. Later, Xue Rengui, Yue Fei, and Su Dingfang matured day by day, and there were also new stars such as Zhou Yu, Xue Rengui, and Tan Daoji who rose to the top.
Unlike the Qin army where talents were at their peak, the Ming army was in decline.
The pillars of the military and political circles of the Ming Dynasty were all old people who survived the Yellow Turban era. There had been no newcomers who could stop them for a long time, and there was quite a trend of sunset.
Thinking of this made Long Qie worried. The gap between Ming Dynasty and Qin Jin was not only the gap in overall strength, but also the gap between high-level talents.
Although the Qin and Ming armies are now in a state of close cooperation, Long Qie knows that this is only temporary.
Qin Hao would not stop his external expansion just because Ming Dynasty had helped him. After expelling Yuan Meng, sooner or later there would be a battle between the two families.
At that time, if Qin and Ming go to war, facing the Qin army's countless famous generals and marshals, as well as the elite army armed to the teeth, what should Ming do to resist?
One pot pass is not enough!
After seeing the armaments of the Qin army and the lineup of generals, Long Qie had no doubt that Qin Hao could finally defeat Yuan Meng. What he was really worried about was that after expelling Yuan Meng, facing the more powerful Qin army, Ming Dynasty would again Where to go from here?
Although Long Qie was worried about Daming's future, he would not sabotage Qin Hao at this critical moment.
First of all, he only has 10,000 Qingqi in his hands. It would be good for him to participate in such a million-level battle, but he is unable to hold back the Qin army.
Secondly, the dispute between Qin and Ming was more like a fight between brothers, while Yuan Meng was a bandit from outside.
No matter how fierce the fight between brothers is, when robbers come to your door, they must unite and deal with the outside world. They would rather take advantage of their own family than take advantage of outsiders.
This is what Long Qie thinks, a very simple truth, but most of the princes don't understand, and they even want to watch the Han brothers fall under the iron hoof of the foreign race.
Of course, the princes of Northern Xinjiang were very united when facing the invasion of foreign tribes. Although the support they gave was limited, at least they did not hold back the enemy.
Long Qie was worried about Daming's future, but what he didn't know was that what he saw was what Qin Hao deliberately let him see, and what he showed was also the strongest side of the Qin army.
Conquering the Ming Dynasty is not an easy task. Although in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Emperor Ming Zhang Sheng, Prime Minister Zhang Liang, or Sikong Guo Jia, they are all Qin Hao's people secretly, but they still cannot accept them directly.
Qin Hao and Ming Dynasty have a long history of hatred. The Yellow Turban Uprising failed because of Qin Hao. There are many people in Ming Dynasty who hate Qin Hao. Mrs. Guo is the most typical example.
But if this hatred cannot be resolved, even if Qin Hao forcibly takes over Ming's strength, these surrendered generals will definitely continue to rebel in the future.
Therefore, if you want to conquer the Ming Dynasty, you must first gain control, and this joint fight against Yuan Meng is an excellent opportunity to resolve the grudges.
Qin Hao deliberately showed the unrivaled soft and hard strength of the Qin army in front of Long Qie. After defeating and expelling Yuan Meng, the power of the Qin and Jin armies will surge to its peak in the later period when the Qin and Jin armies merge into one.
At that time, the Qin army was already invincible, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty had to consider how the Ming Dynasty would go in the future.
If the Qin army forcibly becomes an enemy, the weak Ming Dynasty may be on the road to destruction sooner or later.
At this time, Qin Hao took the initiative to propose marriage to Emperor Ming, requested that the Qin and Ming families be merged into one family, promised to implement the "Tianguo Tianmu System", and promised never to lower the status of the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
With the trust foundation of this cooperation, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty will also have a certain degree of trust in Qin Hao, and the Emperor Ming and the higher-ups will definitely agree, and the resistance of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty will be reduced to a minimum. In addition, the merger of Qin and Ming Dynasty Later, he had the strength to dominate the world in a short period of time.
With the combination of so many parties, Qin Hao was able to conquer the Ming Dynasty without any worries.
"Grand Governor, Duke Qin sent someone to invite you to attend the military and political meeting."
Long Qie couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He was just a guest army. Why should he be invited to attend the meeting between the Qin and Jin armies?
Although he didn't understand Qin Hao's intention, Long Qie would not refuse. After all, if he went there, he would be able to further the Qin army's civil and military officials. He would not miss the opportunity to obtain enemy intelligence.
"Wait a moment, I will be there right away." Long Qie said in a deep voice.
