General Qin

October, the thirty-second year of Qin Shihuang.

Lujiang County, on the shore of Yushui River, is a unique city built of bamboo and wood.

Yu Qian.

Qin general Feng Wuze walked out of the thatched stilt-style hut.

Because the Dry Yue land has always been humid, the local Yue people do not build houses on the ground. Instead, they use a few solid pillars to support the main part of the house away from the ground. In this way, they are not affected by the earth's atmosphere and live very comfortably.

Feng Wuze gradually fell in love with this kind of residence during his several years in Yue Di.

"General, are you feeling better?"

Yin Tong looked at Feng Wuze worriedly.

Feng Wuze waved his hand and said, "I've survived all these years, so it won't be a problem."

Yin Tong responded, but looking at Feng Wuze's yellow face, he couldn't help but feel worried.

The general almost fainted just now.

Yin Tong took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "General, thirty thousand soldiers in our army are gathered here, waiting for the general's order to launch an attack."

"Um."

Feng Wuze nodded.

He turned his head and looked at the vast flat land not far from the stilt hut, where 30,000 Qin troops were arrayed.

Saw this scene.

There was a trace of blood on Feng Wuze's face, and endless pride surged in his heart.

The emperor sent an army of 200,000 to attack Baiyue.

Feng Wuze and Tu Sui each commanded 100,000 troops to attack Minyue and Xiou respectively.

Among Feng Wuze's 100,000 troops, most of them were auxiliary soldiers and civilians responsible for logistics due to difficult transportation and difficult roads across the territory, so there were only 40,000 soldiers.

For Feng Wuze, enough was enough.

The people of Baiyue were poorly equipped and ignorant of military formations. As long as logistics can be guaranteed, 40,000 well-equipped Qin troops are enough to sweep across the south. The only thing that needs attention is that if the Yue people go into the mountains to fight guerrillas, it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, before launching the general offensive today, Feng Wuze tightly blocked the news that the Qin army was going south to attack Fujian and Yue, just to prepare to catch the Yue barbarians by surprise.

His forty thousand soldiers were divided into two parts.

Thirty thousand of them, led by him personally, set out from Yugan, went south along the Yushui River, entered the Minyue region, and went straight to the Minyue Royal City located on the lower reaches of the Minjiang River.

As for the other 10,000 soldiers, they have already gathered in Dongou.

At that time, Dongoujun Zuyao will lead 5,000 Dongouyue people as guides and 10,000 Qin troops to launch an offensive from the east and cooperate with them to attack Minyue.

As for the sea, there are even more boat masters cooperating to form a three-way joint attack.

"Our army is fully prepared, and we fight intentionally but not intentionally. We will win this battle!"

Feng Wuze took the big trumpet from the attendant beside him and began to give a pre-battle speech to the 30,000 Qin soldiers below to inspire the morale of the soldiers.

The content of the speech was very simple. Feng Wuze did not talk about anything else and only said two things.

If you defeat the Baiyue barbarians, you will be promoted to nobility and perform meritorious service.

Once they conquer this land, they can go home.

go home!

These two simple words instantly set off the hearts of all Qin soldiers.

Although these soldiers recruited from the Chu region and the Central Plains had only stayed here for a few months, they already felt disgust and fear in this place where the humidity was unbearable and the mountains, forests, rivers and swamps were full of poisonous insects and fierce beasts.

If Yugan, managed by the Qin army, is like this, what about the Yue land in the south? They can't wait to go back as soon as possible.

"After beating those damn Baiyue barbarians to death, Nai Gong wants to go home!"

"Win the battle early and go home early!"

The morale of the Qin army was immediately boosted, and they were gearing up to attack Baiyue.

Not for anything else, just to go home!

Seeing the high morale, Feng Wuze no longer hesitated and took advantage of the situation to issue military orders.

"Drum roll, march!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Under the sound of majestic war drums, Qin soldiers began to march towards the south in line.

"General, please mount your horse."

A soldier came over leading a pony.

Yin Tong immediately smiled and said: "Although this horse is a little shorter, it is very stable when walking in the mountains, forests and swamps in the south. It feels like walking on flat ground. It is much more comfortable than the tall horses in the north."

"What General Yin said is that this horse was traded from Xiou by merchants. It is worth a lot of money and it is a good horse!"

Everyone around him nodded in agreement.

Feng Wuze smiled.

These subordinates are taking care of his face.

Feng Wuze coughed twice and sat astride the horse, his feet almost touching the ground.

His eyes were full of bitterness.

I thought that he, Feng Wuze, had been in the army for half his life, and he was a majestic commoner. He had never ridden such a short and small horse. He had no majesty as a general.

But Feng Wuze was helpless.

Now that he is physically weak, he can barely control this docile little pony. If he were to switch to a war horse from the Central Plains, he would look weak. He almost fell off the horse last time.

As for riding in a car, although the Qin army had repaired a section of the cross-country road, it was still very narrow and bumpy. Going by car for more than ten miles would shake the bugs out of his stomach, and it was not suitable for commanding marches.

Feng Wuze took a deep breath and patted the pony on his crotch.

The horse snorted, took steps, and moved forward slowly.

As the horse's hooves moved, Feng Wuze felt that something in his stomach seemed to be moving again.

Thinking of the swarm of squirming insects in Muxuan in the morning.

There was a layer of gloom on Feng Wuze's face.

"persist in."

He murmured, but his mind couldn't help but recall the tragic years of the past few years.

Ever since he captured Qianyue and followed the emperor's order to garrison Lujiang in order to manage Baiyue for the Qin Dynasty.

Within a few years, he had health problems.

Eating less and less, loss of appetite, and occasionally symptoms such as coughing and expectoration.

Not only Feng Wuze himself, but also many Qin soldiers stationed here had such problems.

He thought it was due to acclimatization, so he asked the emperor to return to Xianyang, Guanzhong.

As a result, the petition was rejected by the emperor, saying that Qin's management of Baiyue was inseparable from him, and he might not be able to serve as the general of the Qin army's attack on Baiyue in the future.

"The emperor has such trust. I, the Feng family, are a foreign clan. We should take this opportunity to take root and grow stronger."

Feng Wuze tolerated his physical discomfort for the sake of his Feng's glorious future.

Who knew that Feng Wuze's health was getting worse and worse, his complexion gradually turned from rosy to sallow, his energy became more and more depressed, and sometimes wriggling insects could be seen in his feces.

At this time, some people said that the general had been poisoned by the water poison from the south.

Feng Wuze was afraid, but this was an important moment for the Qin army to attack Dongou, and the king of Dongou wanted to surrender.

He could only endure it forcefully and waited until the whole country of Dongou surrendered.

Feng Wuze was very happy for having made great achievements and was made a concubine by the emperor, and was about to take this opportunity to ask the emperor to go home.

But not long after, news came that the First Emperor was on tour eastward and was shot by an assassin.

The emperor was injured, the battle to conquer Haidong began, and the entire empire began to move like crazy.

At this tense moment, Feng Wuze naturally couldn't give up his choice. He could only suppress the thought of going home and start running Baiyue again.

At this time, Tu Sui, the governor of Changsha, got in touch with him and discussed admonishing the emperor to conquer Baiyue.

At this time, Feng Wuze had already seen that if Baiyue was not completely defeated, he would have absolutely no chance to go back.

Therefore, he enthusiastically participated in Tu Sui's plan, discussed various conquests against Baiyue, and submitted a letter together.

The emperor agreed.

Now, it was time to decide whether he could go home.

"After conquering Baiyue, I can go home!"

Feng Wuze gritted his teeth, his eyes showing determination again.

"go home!"

…

It was the end of October in the thirty-second year of Qin Shihuang.

Qin general Feng Wuze led his army to attack Fujian and Yue.

Under the surprise attack of three groups of Qin troops.

The people of Fujian and Yue were caught off guard, and the Qin army, which had been well prepared, headed straight for the royal city.

Because there was no time to summon the Yue people from nearby tribes, the Minyue King Wuzhu was short of troops and abandoned the city in a hurry.

Zouyao, Lord of Dongou, had always had a grudge against Minyue. He led five thousand Dongouyue people to lead the way and led the Qin army in pursuit, defeating the Minyue army.

Except for the Minyue King Wuzhu who hurriedly fled westward under the cover of dead soldiers, most of the Minyue nobles were captured by the Qin army.

In one month, most of the areas in Fujian and Yue were occupied by the Qin army.

The black Qin flag fluttered above the Minyue Royal City.

On the occasion of this great victory, Qin general Feng Wuze fell.
