General Qin

"This time the Yue people rebelled, the Changsha County Sheriff and the chief concubine wrote a letter to the emperor to attack Baiyue to completely subdue the Yue people. The emperor had wanted to attack Baiyue before, but now that the war in Hexi and Haidong is peaceful, I think it will happen I will agree. When Baiyue is conquered and the chief concubine becomes a prince for his merits, Brother Feng will also be the son of a prince in the future!"

In the Feng family mansion in Xianyang, Li Yuzheng, the son of Tingwei, was smiling and complimenting Feng Jing, who was sitting on the side of the card table.

Wang He, the son of Prime Minister Zuo, played a card with two barrels and echoed: "Yes, Brother Feng is now a cavalry general of Zhonglang and has won the emperor's trust. If he is granted the title of Marquis by a concubine, his future prospects will be even more limitless."

"Touch one."

Feng Jing shook his head while touching the cards and said: "For my adults, being granted a title is the second best. The main thing is to be able to go home after playing Baiyue. He has stayed in Yue for eight years and sends mails every year. The letter says that he wants to come back, let alone be granted a title of Marquis, I am afraid that if he is demoted one level in exchange for a chance to return to Xianyang, all the adults in my family will nod their heads and agree."

Li Yu and Wang He looked at each other and said in surprise: "Yue Di is so scary? In order to come back, the eldest concubine is even willing to be demoted."

After playing the cards, Feng Jing played a 50,000 card and said with a smile: "It's very scary. My master said in the letter that Yue is not a place for people. I heard that a general in the army was poisoned by the water poison of Yue. Inside the pulled out arrow, you can see insects crawling around, squirming in groups!”

"hiss……"

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and felt their stomachs were a little uncomfortable.

Tu Sui, the governor of Changsha, and Feng Wuze, the chief concubine, formally jointly submitted the letter in March of the 31st year of Qin Shihuang.

Its content probably means that Baiyue in the south is not stable, and it has repeatedly induced the Yue people under the rule of Qin to rebel.

Among them, Xioujun, who translated Xu Song, was the most daring. He sent people to sneak into the Cangwu area under the jurisdiction of Changsha County, instigated the local Yue people to rebel, and killed dozens of Qin troops stationed there.

As for the chief concubine Feng Wuze, he wrote a letter saying that since Dongou surrendered to Qin, the Fujian and Yue people were very unhappy and often sent troops into Dongou territory to plunder and kill the people of Dongou.

Although the Minyue people did not attack the Qin army, Dongoujun Zouyao had asked Feng Wuze for help several times.

After Dongou surrendered, it existed as a vassal state. Legally, the Yue people in Dongou were also subjects of the Qin State, and they would pay taxes on local specialties to the Qin government.

Therefore, the actions of the Minyue people were tantamount to plundering and killing the people of Qin!

Once the petition was announced in the court, it immediately caused an uproar.

The Qin army defeated the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north, devoured the Yueshi in the west, leveled the east and east of the sea, and subjugated the southwestern barbarians in the south. It was the time when the Qin army was in great glory and was invincible in defeating all the enemies in the world.

From the emperor and ministers to the common people at the bottom, they all have a sense of pride and arrogance in their hearts, believing that Qin is the largest country in the world and the truly invincible overlord.

Under such circumstances, a group of Yue barbarians from the south dared to attack the Qin garrison and plunder the surrendered Dongou people. This was simply a slap in the emperor's face.

The entire court seemed to have returned to the great court meeting held in the 26th year of Qin Shihuang's 26th year. Many generals and civil servants spoke together, requesting the conquest of Baiyue.

"The people from Baiyue invaded our borders and killed our Qin people. How do you think we should deal with them?"

The First Emperor sat on the imperial couch and calmly asked this question in front of important ministers.

"Your Majesty, I, Qiang Yu, am willing to lead the army, wipe out Baiyue, and secure a large territory for Your Majesty!"

Qiang Yu, who had just returned from the west, was the first to speak, looking extremely excited.

In the two battles of Zhao Tuo's Northern Expedition and Wang Li's Western Expedition, Qiang Yu followed him as a deputy general and did not make any great achievements. He always felt that he was deliberately suppressed by Zhao Tuo and Wang Li, and he felt very unfair, so he This time I wish I could go on an expedition as a general.

Except for Qiang Fu, although the other generals did not ask themselves to lead the army, they all agreed to launch the conquest of Baiyue.

Not only did they want to start a war so that their nephews could go to the battlefield and make meritorious service, but more importantly, these veteran generals saw that the emperor was determined to win this war.

Five years ago, the emperor had the intention of sending an army of 500,000 to capture Baiyue. However, at that time, Marquis Wugong made an impassioned speech and used Henan and Hexi as temptations, which diverted Qin's strategic goals.

Now that all the barbarians in the Qin Dynasty, except Baiyue, have been defeated, the conquest of the large land in the south is of course a certainty.

Zhao Tuo, as Qin's number one general, also knew these things very well.

His face was calm, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

What is supposed to come will still come.

Zhao Tuo postponed the Qin army's attack on Baiyue for five years, but it was still unavoidable in the end.

This time, he had no reason to stop it.

One is that the Yue people took the initiative to invade the Qin border, killed Qin soldiers, and harassed Dongou who surrendered to Qin. This was Baiyue's first move. How could Qin not fight back?

Launching a war to conquer Vietnam was politically correct at this time, and anyone who opposed it would have a problem.

The other is that the Qin State really has no targets for conquest in all directions. Even if Zhao Tuo wants to cause trouble again, he can't find a target to borrow.

Zhangye County in the west had just been established, and the Qin officials were not in place. The local Yueshi people had not yet returned, roads and other facilities had not been built, and the logistics could not keep up. It was impossible for the Qin army to expedition to Wusun and the Western Regions.

On the contrary, Yue Di in the south has been managed by Feng Wuze and Tu Sui for several years and is in pretty good condition.

In recent years, they have supervised the construction of several roads in Yue area, which can be used for the Qin army to quickly march and transport grain.

At the same time, the Qin army trained a large boat division in Jiangdong, which could go down the coast, join the army in attacking Fujian and Vietnam, and also serve as logistics transportation.

The cooperation between sea and land greatly reduced the difficulty of the Qin army's conquest.

At the same time, because Feng Wuze surrendered to Dong Ou, the strength of the Yue people was greatly reduced. With the Dongouyue people as guides, the Qin army would not get lost after entering the southern jungle.

Generally speaking, the Qin army's conquest of Baiyue at this time is much more advantageous than the historical situation in history when it immediately launched a large army to conquer the south after unifying the world.

"Feng Wuze's title is that of a concubine, higher than Tu Sui, and he has stayed in Yue for many years. This time, he must be the main general in the Yue expedition. Old Feng inherited Wang Jian's fighting style in the war. He is quite calm and should not He made the mistake of being aggressive. With him in charge, it won’t be a big problem.”

Zhao Tuo felt reassured when he thought of this, and his face relaxed a little.

Feng Wuze is quite reliable.

At this moment, the First Emperor saw that many military generals and civil servants agreed with the conquest of Baiyue. Although the martial prince Zhao Tuo and the Taiwei Wang Bi remained silent, they did not speak out against it in public, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

The First Emperor had long wanted to conquer the land of Baiyue. Every time he saw that there was such a large empty area in the south of the map of Qin, he felt like there were countless ants crawling in his heart, as if he saw countless ants in the south. The Yue people were kneeling on the ground, begging him to come and rule.

Therefore, the first emperor's strategy of asking Tu Sui to present Na to attack Yue was precisely to prepare for the attack on Baiyue.

This time the Yue people took the initiative to harass the Qin border and attacked and killed the Qin army. It was just when he was dozing off that he handed him a pillow and gave him an excuse to launch a war.

This battle must be fought.

The First Emperor made the decision on the spot.

"The barbarians from Baiyue killed our people in Qin and insulted our country. This crime cannot be punished."

"I will send an army of 200,000 men, with the concubine commander Feng Wuze as the chief general, and march southward to conquer Baiyue!"
