Chapter 4 Southern Expedition

Chapter 4 Nanzheng

In the eastern suburbs of Xianyang, click on the platform!

Five hundred thousand Qin troops stood under the stage, covering the entire earth densely. Looking around, there was a huge black area between the world.

The army is solemn and the morale is high. The black "Qin" army flag flutters in the autumn wind, and the sky and the earth are filled with murderous aura.

Suddenly, the military music moved. The First Emperor, wearing a black dragon robe, and Fusu, who was covered in black armor, walked up to the general platform side by side, and the civil and military officials behind him followed one by one.

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!" The 500,000 Qin soldiers knelt down on the ground and saluted their supreme commander!

The First Emperor was surging, and he swung his sleeves with a flying spirit, and shouted: "The army is flat!" The army stood up, and then a wave of friction sounds of armor as dull as thunder came!

Seeing such a military appearance, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel a heroic feeling of controlling the world and shouted: "My warriors of the Qin Dynasty, the six kingdoms of Guandong have surrendered under your sharp sword. You have established a rare and great merit in the world! You are an invincible heroic soldier, and I am proud of you!"

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!..." The proud Qin soldiers roared loudly with their troops!

The words of the First Emperor were interrupted and waved helplessly, and the soldiers quickly calmed down. The First Emperor continued: "Although the six countries have been pacified at present, there is still a large area of ​​territory in the south of our Qin State floating outside and occupied by the ignorant Yue people. This time your mission is to divide this territory into ownership of the Great Qin! I will watch your invincible soldiers in Xianyang make achievements again!"

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!..." The Qin soldiers who were so excited that they screamed cheered again!

The First Emperor smiled and handed over the golden seal and purple ribbon and tiger talisman like the power of conscription, Fusu solemnly said: "Wanger, I will entrust you to pacify the south!" Fusu solemnly took the military talisman and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if you have a son and ministers here, Baiyue will definitely be destroyed!" The First Emperor nodded with relief: "How magnificent, my son! I am waiting for your good news in Xianyang!"

Fusu turned around, raised the golden seal, purple ribbon and tiger talisman in his hand, and shouted to the soldiers in the audience: "People from the Empire, we are about to go on an expedition. In the wild south, the roads are dangerous and the weather is bad, and the plague is prevalent. Are you afraid?"

"The Qin army is invincible! The Qin army is invincible!" The soldiers' answers were very firm.

Fusu nodded and said sternly: "Yes, our Qin army is invincible! No matter how big the obstacles are, it cannot prevent our Qin army from sweeping the wilderness! The ancients said: The heavens are unpredictable, and our Qin soldiers do not believe in this evil. What we believe is: man conquers nature, let us use the strongest will to conquer nature, conquer the enemy, and spread the civilization of China from all directions!"

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!..." The answer to Fusu was a roar like thunder, which shocked everyone on the stage to rumble!

Fusu waved his hand, and the soldiers gradually calmed down. Fusu saluted another military salute to the First Emperor and said in a deep voice: "Father, I'll go there!" The First Emperor also said sadly: "Take care all the way!" Fusu nodded, came back to his senses, waved his hand: "Get off, point the sword to the southeast!"

"Here!" dozens of generals under his command shouted, and at the waving of the flag, the huge army pointed to the east like a rushing iron stream!

The longest and largest war in Qin State so far, the Battle of Baiyue, began to kick off!

Five hundred thousand troops advanced eastward and arrived in the old capital of Chu Ying one month later!

Fusu held the first military meeting here, and the generals attended the meeting include Li Xin, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, Shi Lu and dozens of other generals!

Fusu pointed to the rough map of the south and said to the generals: "Generals, if you advance from Yingcheng and then to the south, you will soon enter the Baiyue territory! But if you advance south now, the time is not ripe, and there are two main reasons:

1. There are no roads to the south when we traveled to the Wuguan Road to Yingcheng. There are only some mountain paths. These paths are not enough to provide the army with the advancement south, and it is difficult to ensure the smooth supply of food and grass.

2. In the east of our present, in the south of Kuaiji, there are still two sharp claws that the Yue people ascended to the hinterland of our Qin State and the Minyue State. If we do not cut off these two sharp claws, our army heading south will find it difficult to ensure the safety of the retreat, and pacifying Baiyue is just an empty word!

Therefore, I decided to let General Tu Sui and General Shi Lu lead the main force of 300,000 people from Yingcheng to build five roads and advance to the Wuling line. After building a wide channel in the Wuling area, we will stop and stand by! And I, General Li Xin and General Ren Xiao, led a large army of 200,000 to the east, wipe out Dong'ou Kingdom and Minyue Kingdom, and then go south to Wuling to meet you. Only by advancing steadily can we ensure that we will win this battle! Do the generals have any objections to this?"

"No!" "Agree!" The generals had no objection to such a safe combat policy.

Ren Xiao nodded and said, "Your arrangement is sufficiently safe. The Baiyue Land is completely unfamiliar to our army. Only by advancing steadily and taking steps to ensure completeness is indeed impossible!"

Fusu nodded and said, "Okay, since all the generals have no objections, then make a decision. From tomorrow onwards, the army will be divided into two groups and march separately!" "Yes!" The generals will take the order!

The next day, Fusu led an army of 200,000 and the headquarters of the "Wolf Fang. Pojun" rushed towards Kuaiji.

More than a month later, in early winter, 200,000 troops entered Kuaiji. The Dongou Army, which had been harassing the southern border of Kuaiji, heard that the 200,000 Qin troops were killed, were so scared that the dead were frightened and quickly retreated.

In this way, Fusu led his troops to enter Kuaiji City smoothly, and the prefect Zhidu and the army of civil and military generals were connected into the city.

Everyone entered the official hall and sat in separate positions. He said, "I haven't seen you for several years, and you are still in a state of charm. It's really gratifying! Now I've led a large army to the east to save the military and civilians of Kuaiji and the fire. I'm really grateful!"

Fusu smiled and shook his hand and said, "Okay, there is no need to say anything polite. Sir, let me tell you the origin of the dispute with Dong'ou. What is the recent situation of the battle?"

Zhidu hurriedly said, "Yes, Master! The thing is this: Originally, my military and civilians in Kuaiji and Dongou Kingdom did not violate the rivers, but later with the implementation of the new policy, the people's enthusiasm for reclaiming fields and pioneering was very high, and gradually they had conflicts with the people in the Dongou Yue in the south. It was originally just a few small conflicts, and we didn't care. Unexpectedly, the Dongou King Zuoyao was a narrow-minded person, and he worked hard to send troops to attack, forcing the ministers to inquire with Xianyang!

Fortunately, the Dongou Kingdom has not had many troops, only 30,000 troops, and some other Yi tribes around did not participate in the rebellion. Therefore, I recruited 20,000 troops to defend the southern border, but did not allow the barbarians to attack the hinterland of Kuaiji for a while. However, the Dongou Yue tribe was extremely brave. My 20,000 troops fought hard on the front line for half a year, but they did not defeat their troops. Instead, they could only be on the defensive! Now that the emperor commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they could hit their troops into pink stones like Mount Tai, and the soldiers and civilians of Kuaiji County could also be at peace!”

"The Lord Prefect is right!" "The emperor is invincible and defeats everything. He is naturally able to deal with these little barbarians!"... The officials are flattering!

Fusu waved his hand with a headache and said, "Okay, okay, don't flatter me! Everyone here, who is most familiar with Zuoyao and Dongou Kingdom's national conditions? Please tell me!"

At this time, the county magistrate Han Anguo stood up and responded: "Your Majesty, I am more familiar with me!" Fusu said happily: "Oh, it's great. You know that only by knowing yours can you win a hundred battles." Let's talk about it!"

Han Anguo cleared his throat and said, "The origin of Dong'ou Kingdom is as follows: probably in the fourth year of King Yuan of Zhou, after King Goujian of Yue destroyed Wu, he began to enfeoff his children as kings, and King Dong'ou King was enfeoffed in Dong'ou Yue! In the 35th year of King Xian of Zhou, Wujiang, the seventh-generation grandson of King Goujian of Yue, was killed by King Wei of Chu. In the 36th year of King Xian of Zhou, Yue's country collapsed. Historical books say, "The only one who received the title of King Yue of Chu was Ouyang Tinghou, and the rest of the world moved in. Later, the Yue royal family scattered on the seaside of the south of the Yangtze River merged with the local Ou people and was called the "Ouyue tribe". The leader was the King of Dong'ou, with the Zuo clan as his surname.

The area of ​​Dongou Kingdom is not vast, including only the Wenling and Lishui areas (now Wenzhou and Lishui, most of Taizhou, the entire southern Zhejiang Province), which is less than half of that of Kuaiji County! The main nationality is 150,000 Ouyue people, and there are some other barbarians, but the fewer the number is, less than tens of thousands! The 30,000 Yue tribes in Dongou are very brave. Everyone wears animal clothes, uses bows and swords, and is very good at fighting in the mountains and forests. They run like flying, climb up the walls and walk on flat ground, which is extremely difficult to deal with!

The Dongou King Zuoyao was also a hero. He was about thirty years old this year. After his father An Zhu died three years ago, he ascended the throne. During his three years of reign, the Ouyue tribe was well-off and prosperous. It was really the case that the country was prosperous and the people were strong. So this was the case. Therefore, his courage became increasingly fierce and he actually had a slight disagreement with our Daqin, so he launched an army to invade!

This is the general situation, please correct me, sir!"

Fusu nodded and said, "Mr. Han is a person who is interested. If he can successfully destroy Dong'ou this time, Lord Han will make a contribution first!" Han Anguo was very happy when he heard this. Qin's military merits were the most rewarding. Fusu said this clearly to give himself a wealth and could not help but thank him: "Thank you, Master!"

Fusu looked at the people again and asked, "Do you have any more?" Most of them shook their heads, Ren Xiao thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, the current rule of the Ou Yue people is different from that of our Qin State, mainly the way of tribal alliances. Although Zou Yao was his king, there were also tribal elders and restraints, which could not cover the sky with one hand. Moreover, the capital of the country is in the Ou Puyang area under the Wenling Mountains and is only a small city, which is easy to conquer. The more difficult thing is that the Ou Yue soldiers are crisscrossing the mountains and forests, and they are impermanent. It is probably difficult to find his main force to fight a decisive battle. But if the living power of the Ou Yue people cannot be eliminated, it is probably difficult for Dongou to truly pacify even if they occupy his capital and the entire territory!"

Fusu thought for a while and said, "Mr. Ren is talking about it! Master Zhi, is there anyone familiar with the geographical situation of Dong'ou Kingdom to use as a guide?" Zhidu was about to speak, and Han Anguo hurriedly said, "Go back to the Lord, the villain had been in Yuedi for a few years when he was young. He knew the geography of the surrounding areas, and he also knew some mountain people. They often do business with the people of Dong'ou, and were also very familiar with the geographical situation of Dong'ou!"

When Zhidu saw Han Anguo taking the credit, his face was a little unhappy. Fusu pretended not to see it and smiled and said, "Okay, Lord Han will find ten mountain people who know the way to use it as a guide for me! Tell them that if they can help the army to pacify Ouyue, I will have a great reward!" "Yes, Lord!" Han Anguo saw that the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but accept the orders!

Fusu thought about it and there should be nothing else, so he smiled and said, "Okay, the discussion has been completed, and I should rest!"

At this time, Zhidu finally spoke and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please wait! The army has come from afar. The ministers and officials have prepared somewhere in the back hall to wash away the dust of the emperor and the generals. Please be sure to enjoy the glory!"

Fusu thought about it and it would be better to relax, so he smiled and said, "I'm so disrespectful!" Everyone smiled and went into the back hall!

At the table, there were delicacies of mountains and seas, and the beautiful women sang and danced, and the hospitality made Fusu feel like he was revisiting the old place. When the table was sent to the middle school, Fusu lowered his voice and asked Zhidu, "Sir, Xiang Liang, uncle and nephew of Xiang Yu?" Zhidu's heart was thrilled, and he said with a look of distress: "The villain is incompetent, and he has not found the two of them yet. I guess he has sneaked away somewhere else!"

Fusu sighed, but said in his heart: "Uncle Xiang Liang must still be in Kuaiji. Humph, these two ground mice are really tightly hidden!" He instructed: "Sir, these two people will definitely not be willing to die in Chu. They will definitely lurk in the dark and wait for a chance to make a comeback! Be careful, don't be careless, otherwise if a disaster arises, this responsibility will be destroyed by the nine clans!"

Zhidu was so scared that his heart was jumping, and he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, the official must pay attention!" But he was secretly wondering in his heart: "Why is this Wu'an Jun always staring at Uncle and Nephew Xiang Yan? Now the world is settled. Even if these two people have the ability, can they still make a fortune??"

On that day, the army left Kuaiji City for several days and led its troops to the Dongou Kingdom.

Within a few days, 200,000 troops arrived at the border of Dongou and stationed. Fusu did not rush to attack, but just wrote a letter, which ordered a villager to take a messenger to the Dongou king capital Oupu Yang Ling Zuo surrender! According to Fusu's meaning, the Qin Dynasty was a country of dignified heavenly dynasty and a country of etiquette, so he had to pay attention to some demeanor, so he had to be polite first and then military!
