General Qin

"As far as the first emperor, the remnants of the sixth life, vigorously pursued the strategy and impoverished the inner world, swallowed the princes for two weeks, and ruled the Liuhe. Guilin, Xiangjun. The king of Baiyue bowed his head and tied his neck, and ordered his officials..."

These magnificent words popped up in Zhao Tuo's mind.

When he heard it for the first time, he only felt that these words were powerful, showing the domineering arrogance of the first emperor, which made people admire him.

But when Zhao Tuo was in this era and saw Tu Sui standing in front of him with longing in his eyes, and said that he wanted to conquer Baiyue in the south, he only felt sweat on his brow and flustered in his heart.

Because Zhao Tuo knew clearly that the Qin army's southern conquest of Baiyue really happened in history.

The 500,000 Qin army attacked Baiyue in the south, and with their strong force, they captured most of Lingnan in a short period of time.

Then, the Qin army fell into a terrible quagmire of war.

The Yue people fled for a long time, and there was no food. The Yue people attacked them, and the Qin army was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of corpses were bleeding.

Tu Sui, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, was attacked and killed by the Yue people.

After that, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo took over the position of Tu Sui, Nanping Yuedi, mixed with the Yue people.

This is the original history, and it is also the fate that originally belonged to Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo and others.

Zhao Tuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He was not 100% sure whether he was the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo in history.

But judging from the fact that he checked whether there was another Zhao Tuo in the Qin army, but found nothing, there is a high probability that it is.

Zhao Tuo never wanted to repeat the course of history.

He didn't want to be like Zhao Tuo in history, who left the civilized world, abandoned his wife and son, and went to the south to be king of a group of savages.

Not to mention, once the state of Qin starts the great war of conquering Baiyue in the south, it will definitely deplete the national strength of the state of Qin, and the soldiers of the Qin army will suffer heavy losses and blood will flow like rivers.

The head of the world is exhausted and full of complaints, which will make this country irresistibly embark on the road of destruction.

Facing Tu Sui's eager eyes.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Brother Tu, why can't you think about it? Others want to stay away from Baiyue, but you still want to go there."

"The land of Baiyue is full of poisonous miasma. Last time when I marched south to Yue and hunted down Xiong Qi, I led my army into a miasma forest by mistake. I saw a soldier inhaling the miasma with my own eyes. I couldn't help it." Picking up the flesh from my body, and then dying piece by piece at the end, the appearance of death is very miserable.”

"And that place is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. If you sleep at night, you will be bitten all over your body by insects. Walking in the woods, if you are not careful, you may step on a poisonous snake. It will bite you when you open your mouth."

"The land is barren and barbaric, with murderous intentions everywhere. Even if the emperor grants me a marquis, I won't go there anymore."

While Zhao Tuo was talking, his face was full of disgust, which made Tu Sui stunned.

Tu Sui has been fighting in the Central Plains, and has never been to Yuedi, although he heard that the place is barren and barbaric, not suitable for Central Plains people to live in.

But he thought that Zhao Tuo, Feng Wuze and others went south one after another without seeing any losses, and instead got promoted, so he couldn't help but turn his attention to Baiyue.

Listening to Zhao Tuo's detailed explanation now, it is still a bit scary.

Tu Sui frowned and said, "What you said is so terrible, but isn't there still a lot of Yue people in that place? I've heard that there are Nanyue, Minyue, and Ouyue in the Yue people. How can they survive?"

Zhao Tuo let out a laugh: "Nanyue, Ouyue, Minyue, don't think these names sound like a country, but they are actually tribes of savages."

"The Yuyue I went to before was better, at least in the place where Goujian operated, there are still some civilized customs."

"The Yue people in the south are barbaric. I heard it before when I was in Yue. The Yue people in the south not only drink blood, but also have the custom of cannibalism. A group of cannibal barbarians live in full In the miasmatic forest. If we really want to fight them, we have to open a road in the thorny forest. If we are not careful, we will be attacked by those Yue people. They are elusive in the forest, like a group of monkeys, popping up one by one, hard to guard against .”

"Brother Tu, you'd better not think about dealing with those barbarians. It's a headache to fight in Yuedi. When General Feng Wuze comes back, you can ask him if he wants to go south again, and you'll understand."

With hesitation in Tu Sui's eyes, he shook his head and said, "The Land of Baiyue is so troublesome."

Although people in this era are also afraid to go to the south to cross the land, they all say that the place is full of miasma and full of poisonous insects, rats and ants, but after all, there are few specific descriptions.

After Zhao Tuo's words, he vividly depicted Yue Di's appearance, as if reappearing the scene, which left a deep impression on Tu Sui.

In addition, Zhao Tuo has been to Yuedi himself, so what he said is more authoritative.

This dispelled Tu Suinan's enthusiasm for conquering Baiyue and obtaining the title.

Although Tu Sui has a rough personality, he is not a fool, so he insisted on digging into that wild place with a firm head.

Seeing Tu Sui's appearance, Zhao Tuo knew that his words had worked.

Even if he didn't dispel Tu Sui's idea of ​​conquering Baiyue on the spot, Zhao Tuo at least planted a seed in his heart that it would be difficult to conquer the land.

At this point, Zhao Tuo stopped talking too much, in order to avoid the negative effect of talking too much.

He changed the subject, chatted with Tu Sui for a while, and then left.

After walking for a certain distance, Zhao Tuo looked back and saw that Tu Sui was lost in thought, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Military Merit Lord, a double-edged sword."

The land of Baiyue is barren and barbaric, and no one wants to go there.

Tu Sui is not a fool, why would he think of going south to conquer Baiyue.

The reason is that I am afraid that he still has a great desire to be promoted.

The system of military merit transformed Qin from a weak country that was violently beaten by Wei Wuzu to a country of tigers and wolves who beat the princes of Shandong.

But when the world is unified and the six kingdoms are wiped out, this system that once pushed the empire forward and helped the Qin people to unify the world will turn around and become a rope that strangles the throat of the empire.

Without the target of the conquest, it would be difficult for Qin's military group and generals to be promoted.

Although it is also possible to be promoted to the noble by relying on literary advice like Li Si, Wang Wan and others, but how many such people can there be?

Do you still expect people like Qiang Yan and Heiyu to be promoted by virtue of martial arts?

Wang's, Meng's, Yang's, Xin's, Bai's...

These generals of the Qin State have learned the art of war for generations, and generations of clansmen have been generals of the Qin State, leading the Qin army to fight in all directions.

Once the war is over, how will these generals be promoted?

If they can't make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and gain power, wouldn't their families of generals be completely wiped out?

Under such circumstances, a large number of generational generals and military generals will naturally look around the empire and look at those places that have not been conquered by the Qin army.

Those places can bring them military exploits, power and wealth.

As for whether the common people in Qianshou want to fight and whether they are willing to use their lives to achieve their glory, that is not in the consideration of most generals.

Today's Tu Sui is one of them.

Zhao Tuo has long heard the words of Heiyu, Lu Wan and others who miss the battlefield, and their words often have yearning for war.

Not to mention other people, even Zhao Tuo himself, why didn't he want to rely on his military merits to be promoted to a high-ranking lieutenant?

It's just that Zhao Tuo has greater pursuits. He doesn't want this country that has just settled down to experience endless wars.

But judging from Tu Sui's appearance today, the military power group inside the Qin State may soon be unable to bear it.

Not to mention that on their heads, there is an emperor with a strong desire to conquer.

"You can't stand up against this kind of thing. You will offend too many people. Not only can you not stop it, but you can easily become the enemy of all generals."

"But Baiyue is a deep pit. Once you enter it, it will be difficult to get out. It is enough to drag down the empire. If these people really want to fight, they should lead them to the north."

Zhao Tuo's eyes turned to the north, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Compared with the Baiyue land where miasma is dense and poisonous insects, snakes and ants are rampant.

The northern grassland is undoubtedly a paradise.

"Historical Records Biography of Pingjinhou Master's Father": Tu Sui sent the soldiers of the building and boats to attack Baiyue to the south... Going deep into Yue, the Yue people fled. After a long period of time, there was absolutely no food, and the Yue people attacked it, and the Qin army was defeated. Qin Nai sent Wei Tuo to guard Yue.

"Huainanzi Human Training": Let Wei Tu Sui send 500,000 soldiers... and all the people of Yue entered the Congbo, where they lived with the beasts, and they would not be Qin captives. He set Jiejun as a general, and attacked the Qin people at night, breaking them. Killing Wei Tu Sui, his corpse bleeds hundreds of thousands.
