Chapter 1615: Kong Ming’s Plan (Part 1)
"Hahaha……"
Qin Hao looked at the Qin petition in his hand and smiled at Ren Hongchang on the side: "When we got married before, this Li He wrote seven poems in a row, scolding the king for being greedy and ruining the country.
Now he is even more aggressive. Not only did he scold me in the letter, but he also scolded all the eighteen generations of the Qin family. He has gone to great lengths to discredit me. He is really a talent. "
When Ren Hongchang heard this, he asked angrily: "Husband, why do you still laugh when Li He scolds you?"
"Then I can't cry. Besides, he was right. This king is holding the emperor hostage to order the princes."
Hearing what Qin Hao said, Ren Hongchang couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
"No, we can't just let it go. I will send someone to kill this Li He right now."
With that said, Ren Hongchang was about to walk out, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Qin Hao.
"Don't be so murderous. You can't solve the problem by killing people. Since Li He wrote an article to scold me, let's find someone to write an article to scold me in return. He and Liu Ji will be infamy for thousands of years."
"puff……"
Ren Hongchang couldn't hold it back, he burst out laughing, and said coquettishly: "It's already this time, why don't you show up properly."
"Why are you out of shape? I'm serious." Qin Hao said seriously.
After the advent of papermaking and printing, Qin Hao only had exclusive use of this technology for more than a year. After enjoying the greatest benefits, he sold the technology to the major princes in exchange for funds.
After all the major princes obtained papermaking, paper began to spread rapidly, and this popularity also accelerated the flow of information. Information was no longer as blocked as before, but some problems were also exposed, that is, the common people Became easier to fool.
In this era, the people are not enlightened and have no discerning ability. As long as they can make up some truth, they will basically believe it.
Therefore, as Li He's "Essay on Discussing Qin" spreads throughout the world, there is no doubt that Qin Hao's reputation will take a certain hit.
Qin Hao, who has experienced the great information age of later generations, is very aware of the importance of public opinion. Naturally, it is impossible for him to watch Liu Ji smear himself and remain indifferent.
Naturally, the war between literati has to be fought by literati. Li He is only ranked 35th on the list of literati, while Qin Hao has countless literati on the list, including Wang Xizhi, Han Feizi, Qu Yuan, Wen Tianxiang, and Sima Xiang. For example, Bai Juyi, Wang Anshi, etc., and the only two women on the list, Cai Yan and Li Qingzhao, are also on Qin Hao's side.
Therefore, once Qin Hao launched a public opinion war, his writers would quickly turn the public opinion around and scold Liu Ji until he doubted his life.
"Hong'er, go and ask Li Qingzhao to write an article, say good things to me and at the same time scold Liu Ji. I immediately ordered Wang Xizhi and others to write a few articles."
As he spoke, Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a glint, and he said with a faint smile, "I will teach Liu Ji this time what it means to kill someone and kill the heart."
Ren Hongchang looked at Qin Hao blankly: (?ˇ?ˇ?)
Killing someone but also killing your heart? As expected of my man.
Literary men had to write counterattacks. Although they could damage Liu Ji's reputation, articles alone could not repel the invading four-pronged army.
If before the Hebei War started, let alone 450,000 Southern Han troops to attack, even if it was 540,000, the Qin army would not be afraid at all.
At that time, the Qin army had 600,000 elite infantry and cavalry, and a mere 450,000 troops. Moreover, the troops were divided into five groups to attack, which gave the Qin army the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
But the situation is different now. The 350,000 Qin army has joined the 150,000 Ming army. A total of 500,000 troops have entered Hebei, and there are only 250,000 troops left in the country to defend various places.
Facing an attack by a 450,000-strong army and relying on only 250,000 defenders, it would naturally be difficult to lose even an inch of territory.
After bidding farewell to Ren Hongchang, Qin Hao summoned Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen and asked, "Two military advisors, the four armies of the Southern Han Dynasty have invaded. What do you think of this?"
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen looked at each other, and Liu Bowen said first: "What was expected is that the number of troops dispatched by the Southern Han Dynasty exceeded expectations."
"Another point is that the three major princes of Liangzhou came to invade at the same time, which was unexpected." Zhuge Liang added.
Qin Hao didn't know that Yang Guang had guessed the truth about Yang Jian's death, so he came to take revenge because he had a grudge. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
As long as the forces that come are his enemy generals, they will just be eliminated in the future.
"Two military advisors, our army in Jingsi and the three areas has only 250,000 troops, but the enemy coming to attack from the Southern Han Dynasty has 450,000 troops, and now the war in Hebei is still not over yet."
As he spoke, Qin Hao looked into the eyes of the two men and asked: "If we start a war with the Northern and Southern Han Dynasties at the same time, even our army will be unable to cope.
Now there is chaos in the DPRK. The ministers are asking to postpone the Hebei offensive, retain the existing Warring States period, and at the same time mobilize the troops back to repel the Southern Han Dynasty first and then attack Hebei.
I wonder what the two military advisors think? "
"Absolutely not."
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen said at the same time, and their faces were extremely serious.
"Lord, the war in Hebei has reached its final moment. It will definitely turn around in a month at most. If we withdraw our troops at this time, all the previous sacrifices will be in vain, and there will never be such a good opportunity again in the future." Liu Bowen said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord, it is indeed difficult to fight 450,000 with an army of 250,000, but we can definitely hold it within a month." Zhuge Liang said.
Qin Hao waved his hands and said calmly: "Two military advisors, don't be anxious. The Southern Han Dynasty is sending troops at this time to support the Northern Han Dynasty and prevent our army from occupying Hebei.
If we withdraw our troops from Hebei at this time, wouldn't it follow Liu Ji's wishes? It is absolutely impossible for this king to do this. "
Hearing Qin Hao's words, both Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, and then Zhuge Liang said again: "My lord, this attack from the Southern Han Dynasty seems dangerous, but in fact it is not dangerous."
"oh?"
Qin Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said immediately: "The military advisor returns the invitation."
"Among the 250,000 defenders in the country, 100,000 are in Bingzhou and Hetao. Among them, there are 70,000 troops in Bingzhou and 30,000 in Hetao."
Zhuge Liang walked slowly to the map, pointed at Bingzhou and said: "Except for the 30,000 garrison guarding Yanmen Pass and Zhenbeiguan that cannot be mobilized, Bingzhou can send 40,000 reinforcements to the Hetao, so there are 70,000 troops there. .
The 100,000-strong coalition forces of Yang Guang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui are heading towards Hebei. General Meng Tian, who is responsible for guarding Hetao, is an offensive, defensive and annexation general. Facing hundreds of thousands of Yuan and Meng's cavalry, he can advance and retreat well, so why fear a mere 100,000 soldiers? State army?
As long as General Meng Tian holds an army of 70,000 men and is supplemented by a few fierce generals, Hetao will be absolutely as stable as Mount Tai, and Liangzhou will not be a place for invasion. "
The first update is coming. I had something to do at home today and I was asked to work as a driver again. I came back very late. I was tired and sleepy, so I could only update the first one. Please forgive me. I will definitely update more tomorrow.
Thanks to book friend Hi for the sweet reward of 10,000 starting coins, I added an additional chapter, and now I owe a total of 3 chapters.
