Chapter 603: Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains
The southwest monsoon of the Bohai Sea is generally from May to September in the summer calendar, and once it enters October, it will become a cold north wind.
At the end of September in the 33rd year of Qin Shi Huang, taking advantage of the last west wind, Heifu, the superintendent of the Great Qin Eastern Expeditionary Army, finally left his nest in Jiaodong and went to the peninsula on the other side of the sea to have a look.
The Heifu Prison Army was in a good mood along the way, and he also used the big crossbow equipped by the fleet to shoot the big whale in the sea, but unfortunately although the building ship was large, it was not a professional whaling ship, and he could only watch the big sperm whale sink to the bottom of the sea with a crossbow bolt inserted in his body.
Looking at the water jets spewed out by the whales in the distance, Heifu couldn't help but regret:
"So much meat, catch one head, enough for a boatload of people to eat for several days."
He looked at Xu Fu: "When I return to Jiaodong, I will definitely make a big boat dedicated to whaling!" ”
In addition to whaling ships, there are also large nets that can be fished in the deep sea, Heifu also hopes to make it as soon as possible, this year's Yellow Sea, full of whales, seals, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, for the middle and lower classes of Jiaodong who can't eat meat a few times a year, it's a big treasure trove. And at this moment, Heifu seems to be a poor ghost who guards the treasure house, but has not yet been assigned the key.
Xu Fu promised, but later said something irrelevant:
"From Xianyang to Jiaodong, back and forth, even with the fastest urgent letter, more than ten horses were killed, it took more than two months. When His Majesty heard that Yang Duan and the old general had passed away, he was concerned about Gongzi Fusu, and ordered the Junjun to go to the nearby place to supervise the army, to put it bluntly, he asked Junjun to help Gongzi, so as not to cause trouble, but in fact, this edict is actually a redundant move......"
Xu Fu and Heifu stood at the bow of the boat and talked, but were glared at by Heifu.
"Your Majesty's edict, how can it be said that it is too much?"
"The grass people lost their words!"
Xu Fu hurriedly pleaded guilty, but secretly said in his heart, wasn't it you who kidnapped and detained me for the crime of bullying the monarch in the past?
However, what Xu Fu said also makes sense, because of the absence of Xianyang's edict, Heifu can only watch the fire on the other side of Jiaodong in the past two months, and there are really a lot of things happening on the Fusu side......
First of all, at the end of July, when the army was stationed in Manfanhan, 5,000 Yan soldiers roared and trampled on each other. After Fusu led the crowd to pacify, the left battalion had more than 1,000 dead and wounded, and more than 1,000 escaped, and the Yan pawns who were already suspicious of the Qin army were completely disabled, and Fusu did not even dare to bring them into North Korea, so he could only let Ren Huan use the boat division to transport the remaining more than 2,000 Yandi people to Jiaodong, watch on the seashore, and do some labor.
Regarding this matter, Heifu suspected that Chen Ping was implicated, but after Chen Ping came back, he didn't say a word, and still did the case conscientiously, which seemed to be a lot more honest than before.
And after this series of changes, Fusu could only enter North Korea with 5,000 elites.
Although the sweat camp roared to let North Korea see that the Qin army did not seem to be as strong as imagined, the building ships and warships at the mouth of the column were real, and the king of the capital was in danger at any time, and the knife was pressed in the chest, so he could only get out of the way and ask the Su to pass.
At the beginning of August, Fusu arrived at the Korean capital of Wangxian, located on the banks of the Lieshui River (Daedong River), and garrisoned outside the city. He also tried his best to disagree with the public, and at the invitation of Ji Zhun, he only brought a few relatives into Wang Wei City, and met with the Korean Hou Ji to discuss the matter of Korean tribute to the Qin Dynasty and the transportation of grain for the Qin army.
Compared with the immaturity of the army, Fusu performed very well in this kind of diplomatic occasion, just Jiao Dongzhou Shi sang black face, he immediately sang white face, this "first soldier and then salute" effect is good, the Korean nobles were impressed by the aristocratic temperament of Fusu, and agreed to the conditions of the Qin Dynasty one by one, and the voice of opposition in the DPRK was also suppressed by Ji Zhun - Ji still came out too early, and he didn't know the allusion of "lips and teeth cold".
In the middle of August, Fusu led his troops to arrive at Liekou, and the naval and land armies met smoothly, and after a few days of rest, they took a month's military rations, accelerated the pace, and marched towards the end of this long march!
The roads in North Korea are worse and more sparsely populated than those in Liaodong, and it was the beginning of September when Fusu and their North Korean guides arrived at Canghai City, which was close to North Korea......
In addition to the Gong clan Ji clan and the aristocracy in North Korea, which are the remnants of Yin Shang, most of its people are of the Hao Mo ethnic group, so around North Korea, there are also many city-states and settlements established by Hao Mo, which are dotted all over the place.
In the past few decades, there are not a few people from the Six Kingdoms who have come by the southwest monsoon, and they have brought the culture of the Central Plains and advanced production tools, which makes Canghai Jun the most civilized city-state.
Seeing that the Fusu army arrived on Qindao (Jianghua Island), where Canghai City was located, a big drama in which Qin Shi Huang sent his eldest son to punish the assassin was about to begin.
According to the script, the soldiers of the Qin army who traveled thousands of miles and the people with lofty ideals who would rather run to the ends of the earth than surrender to Qin will have a big battle, either you die or I live.
But the result was unexpected, Jiaodong Zhoushi, who arrived first, found that Hugh wanted to say Canghai City, the "Qin Island" with a radius of hundreds of miles, and he couldn't even find the shadow of a fisherman.
The expeditionary force was delayed for too long, and Canghai City learned the news of the Qin army's coming to attack early, and they had already run away with people and livestock......
A few days ago, Heve's first reaction when he heard the news was:
"Canghaijun is not stupid......"
If it was him, he would definitely have thirty-six plans, and he would go up.
Although the Hao Mo people are the only ones engaged in agriculture among the indigenous people of the Northeast and the Peninsula, they also have a strong tradition of fishing and hunting, and they are not Qin officials, so they have to guard a city and a pond, and it is not difficult to abandon the city and escape.
A problem that he had never thought of before was suddenly placed in front of Fusu: Canghai Jun fled with people, but what should the Qin army do on the expedition?
Is it chasing? Is it keep? Is it withdrawn?
Heifu knew that there was no battle on the front line, but he still crossed the sea head-on, just to help Su solve this problem.
"Junjun, Qindao has arrived!"
There were several ships waiting to greet him in the open sea, and it was Yu Yang who led the way, happily boarding the ship and saluting Heifu and Xu Fu, who found that he had been running at sea for several months, and had become as tanned as himself, and now the two were more like uncles and nephews......
Wei Yang began to point and tell Heifu about the island, and he said that according to Professor Xu Fu's astrological technique, he had measured the latitude of this island, which was almost exactly the same as Zhifu Island!
Heifu looked at it and found that the climate and scenery here are not much different from Jiaobei, but compared with Yantai, which is becoming more and more populated, many places on Jianghua Island are empty.
After a while, they began to enter the narrow waterway, Wei Yang introduced: "This island and the land are only two miles apart, because of the narrow distance, it is called the salt river by the locals, don't look at it narrow, the hydrology is extremely complex, the tidal water difference is large, there are many reefs, when the army crosses, it takes no less effort." ”
Based on Heifu's experience in leading troops to fight for many years, this island is indeed a natural danger that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but unfortunately, once there is no sea control, the natural danger will become a smooth road, which is also the reason why Canghai Jun abandoned the island and fled.
They circled the narrow waterway for several hours, carefully rounding the reef to the other side of the island, where the so-called "Canghai City" was located.
Seeing the simple and low "city", Heifu smiled dumbly:
"I kind of know that Canghai Jun wants to abandon this city."
It turned out that the so-called city was just like a small township in the Central Plains, no more than a foot high, the bottom was covered with stones, and the upper layer was covered with mud, which the regular army could easily break!
Later, the group disembarked at the makeshift port with a boatload full of cabbage and radish army coats.
Gongzi Fusu came to pick him up in person, and Heifu saw the slender and tall Fusu bringing people over from a distance, so he greeted him and arched his hand: "General Fusu!" “
Fusu was stunned for a moment, and also returned the salute: "Captain Supervising the Army!" “
This title is really a bit unaccustomed.
Heifu can't help but feel a little emotional, a few years ago, he was a general and a prisoner, but now, his identity is easy to change.
Heifu heard that in the past six months, Fusu has also experienced a lot of things. His face was thinner, and his beard was no longer neatly trimmed, but grew haphazardly, but he had a bit of a general's temperament.
But the melancholy eyes are the same as at the beginning, only a little less compassionate and a little more weathered......
To be honest, judging from Fusu's performance after pacifying Yingxiao, he has already performed very well, at least bringing the whole army to the destination.
After the two of them arrived at the camp and sat down, when Fusu said that he had sent people to search for the enemy within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, but found nothing, he showed a dejected expression and said with a wry smile:
"To Wei Jun, Fusu didn't say polite words, but he had a doubt, which he didn't solve for a long time. In the past, in Beidi County, Fusu questioned the necessity of the Northern Expedition against the Huns, and Wei Jun said to Fusu, Hu Zhe, the great disaster of Zhongxia, His Majesty was thinking about this, so he decided to eliminate the Huns in one fell swoop, and prevent trouble before it happened, not purely for the sake of opening the border and showing off his merits, so no matter how much the Northern Expedition costed, it was worth it. ”
He spread his hands and said: "But now, in the name of punishing rebellion, more than 10,000 people have walked a journey of 4,000 miles, and there are thousands of dead and wounded along the way, and countless money and food have been consumed, making Liaodong and Jiaodong counties restless, but in the end, it is a failure." Fusu was indeed incompetent, which affected the three armies and caused the enemy to flee. Now, I don't understand, what is this battle for? “
Although it has changed a lot, Fusu is still Fusu, his doubts are also the doubts of this empire, his confusion is also the confusion of thousands of people of this empire. At the beginning of the child's play, he was the main general who was at a loss, and the result made people cry and laugh, if this is the ending......
"Of course, it is for the sake of Daqin, there is one more good son who is brave and courageous, and this ......"
Heifu did not answer the question, and pointed to the vast land east of Qin Island, as if to hold them in his palm:
"Three thousand miles of rivers and mountains!"
