Chapter 1557: The day of becoming emperor is not far away
Huguan
"What? Did you send Shangguan Haitang back?"
Qin Hao looked at Zhang Liang who came to report his work in surprise, frowned and said, "I'm afraid Fan Zeng won't believe her easily."
Qin Hao naturally had some impressions of Shangguan Haitang, a double agent. If she hadn't led the way for Qin Hao, he probably wouldn't have been able to board Taihang so easily.
Shangguan Haitang did Qin Hao a big favor. Qin Hao planned to thank her afterwards, but then he killed Zhu Yuanzhang and got married. He forgot about her as soon as the things got too many, but he didn't expect that Zhang Liang had already sent her back. .
Zhang Liang did not expect that Qin Hao would care about the life and death of an ordinary spy, and immediately smiled and said: "My lord, in the Taihang battle, the factory guards were almost completely wiped out. Fan Zeng will definitely rebuild the spy network, and Shangguan Haitang is the only high-ranking factory guard left. As long as it can be explained If the suspicion is cleared, Fan Zeng will definitely reuse her."
Qin Hao couldn't help but nodded. Zhang Liang was right. Fan Zeng had almost no one available, and there was an urgent need to rebuild the spy network. With Shangguan Haitang, a Xuanzi spy at this level, it was naturally impossible not to use it, but Zhang Liang How did you clear her name?
Regarding this point, Qin Hao did not ask Zhang Liang in detail, nor was he interested. He just asked: "Has Shangguan Haitang regained Fan Zeng's trust?"
Zhang Liang smiled confidently and said: "Of course, Liangxia's personal layout eliminated Fan Zeng's suspicion. No, this is the information sent back by Shangguan Haitang."
With that said, Zhang Liang handed another scroll to Qin Hao. Qin Hao couldn't help but look surprised after opening it.
"Although what Shangguan Haitang found out is only part of it, we can still make some general guesses.
Fan Zeng has such clever planning methods. He is indeed a difficult opponent. If he really succeeds, Zhu Di will definitely put down the civil strife. "
As he spoke, Qin Hao's lips curled up slightly, and he asked playfully: "Since you already know this, sir, you must have arranged it, right?"
"Yes, my lord, Liang has asked Shangguan Haitang to contact Xue Ju first and personally plan for him. Even if he cannot completely overthrow Fan Zeng, he will definitely plunge Zhu Ming into internal strife."
Zhang Liang took great pains to plunge Zhu Ming into civil strife, even exposing his most important secret son Shangguan Haitang who stayed in Zhu Ming. It may be difficult to obtain Zhu Ming's internal secrets in the future.
But in Zhang Liang's opinion, it was all worth it. The reason why Anzi arranged it was just to start the day, and there was no point in lurking all the time.
After hearing what Zhang Liang said, Qin Hao pondered for a moment and said: "Over in Xuzhou, sir, please pay more attention. I want Xuzhou to be as chaotic as possible."
"Liang understands, but in order for the plan to go smoothly, Liang would like to ask the lord to temporarily hand over the Qingxu and Black Ice Terrace spy networks to Liang."
Qin Hao couldn't help but be stunned. In addition to reporting his duties this time, Zhang Liang also handed over the power of the Taiping Guards.
After Ren Hongchang abdicated, the entire Taiping Guard was in the hands of Zhang Liang, who also held the military and political power in Jizhou. The power was a bit too much, so Ren Hongchang asked him to hand over the Taiping Guard.
Why haven't the rights of the Taiping Guard been handed over yet, but instead they are asking for the spy network in the two states of Bingtai, Qingxu?
What kind of trouble is this?
"My lord, Liang is not greedy for power. There are many loopholes in the Taipingwei spy network. It will be more perfect when combined with Heibingtai. After understanding the war in Hebei, Liang Ding will personally preside over the merger of Taipingwei into Heibingtai."
Zhang Liang said sonorously and forcefully. After speaking, he saluted, but was stopped by a flag.
"What are you talking about, sir? How can Hao not trust you? It's just a matter of two states failing, so I leave it to you, sir."
Zhang Liang wanted to black Bing, Tai, Qing and Xuzhou's spy network, naturally not for power and selfishness, but to make the next war smoother. The Taiping Guards in his hands were no longer enough to support his performance, so he wanted to attack Hei Bing. The Taiqing and Xuzhou spy networks are full of expectations.
"hiss……"
Just from Qin Hao's mouth, Zhang Liang couldn't help but look shocked and said, "It turns out that my lord has placed an informant around Zhu Tianpeng a long time ago. The adopted sister actually belongs to the lord?
Zhu Yuanzhang placed Zhu Tianpeng next to Huang Chao, while the lord placed his eyes next to Zhu Tianpeng. The lord was still more skilled. "
"Okay, stop flattering me, Chang'e was just an accident."
After saying that, Qin Hao looked at Zhang Liang seriously and warned: "Remember, don't expose Chang'e easily. She will be more useful if she stays with Zhu Tianpeng."
"Liang understands."
Zhang Liang said confidently that in his opinion there was no need to expose Chang'e. With Chang'e passing on information and exerting influence on Zhu Tianpeng, there was too much room for him to operate.
"Report...report to my lord, important information has been sent from Luoyang."
Qin Hao initially thought that this information was from Liu Xie and Liu Bei's die-hard Han loyalists who were restless again, but after reading it, he realized that it was Liu Ji from Yizhou who was causing trouble.
"Liu Ji is in peace talks with Li Shimin and Liu Yu, and is actively wooing the surrounding princes such as Liu Xiu. He is actually preparing to support the missing emperor Liu Bian to establish a new court."
Qin Hao said coldly, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
At this time, if Liu Ji established the New Han Court, although it was not orthodox and did not hold great righteousness, it would also be a big impact on the orthodox Han Court established by Qin Hao.
Once the southwest princes abandon their conflicts and unite, the pressure on Jingzhou and Sizhou will be great.
"Liu Ji wants to use this method to prevent me from occupying Hebei? I'm dreaming." Qin Hao said in a deep voice.
Zhang Liang's eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up and congratulated: "Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord, for taking the place of the great Han, the day of ascending the throne is not far away."
If anyone else said such a rebellious thing, Qin Hao would definitely reprimand the other party very severely, but Zhang Liang is a rebel leader, and they still know each other well, and there is no one else present, so naturally there is no need for that. Bian pretended to be hypocritical.
Qin Hao immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Liang's words. He could not stop Liu Ji from establishing another Han Dynasty. After the establishment of this pseudo-dynasty, there would be another Han emperor giving orders in the world. The role of Liu Xie in his hands It is also greatly reduced.
If the emperor is held hostage to make the princes useless, then he might as well kick the Han Dynasty away and go it alone.
"Sir, how long do you think this day will last?" Qin Hao asked.
"After unifying Hebei." Zhang Liang said firmly.
"So fast?"
Qin Hao couldn't help but get close. He estimated that Liu Che would be completely useless until at least he occupied Hebei and unified the Central Plains or Guanxi. However, Zhang Liang said that after he unified Hebei.
Could there be any changes that will reduce Liu Che's role?
"May I ask my lord, what is the best way for the princes of Hebei to truly unite and resist our army?"
Hearing Zhang Liang's question, Qin Hao looked thoughtful, then frowned.
The best way to fight against the Qin army is to establish a separate court and elect a new Han emperor to compete with the Luoyang court.
But what would the princes of Hebei do? Who will be elected as the emperor of the Han Dynasty? Liu Xie and Liu Bian have no other brothers.
Seeing Qin Hao's expression, Zhang Liang knew that he had guessed the key, and then smiled lightly and said: "In the near future, there may not be two Han emperors in the world at the same time, but there may be three."
Although what Zhang Liang said was very possible, his tone was extremely firm.
The guaranteed update is here, and there will be an additional chapter later with the monthly pass, but it may be later.
