In the thirty-third year of Qin Shi Huang, at the great court meeting of the mid-spring moon, the prime minister and the imperial history office had prepared an edict declaring war.

"In the past, the Song Dynasty killed the Chu envoy Shen Zhou, and the king of Chu Zhuang heard it, and he threw himself up, suffocating the emperor, the sword and outside the dormitory, and the car and the city of Puxu!"

This means that when the king of Chu Zhuang heard that his messenger had been killed, he was furious, and he ran out barefoot, and the person holding the shoe chased him to the courtyard to catch up, and put on his shoes, and the person with the sword chased him outside the dormitory door, and hung the sword for him, and the person who drove the car chased him to the city of Puxu, and asked the king of Zhuang to board the car, went straight to the military camp, and sent troops to surround the Song Dynasty......

"Today, Qin is ten times stronger, ten times stronger than Chu, and Ou is weaker and weaker, not as good as Song. However, the more he despised the Celestial Empire, he dared to despise the Celestial Empire and kill my pedestrians, this is a great shame, and not punishing it is not enough to raise the prestige of the Son of Heaven! ”

The emperor originally planned to use troops against Baiyue, which is good, and even the reason for war is justified, but the emperor does not want to send a large army, only fight a small battle, destroy a small tribe, and decide to take all the Yue people as the object of attack and conquest......

As the outbreak place of the incident, Xiou naturally bore the brunt of the incident and became the focus of the use of troops, first destroying Xiou, and then sweeping away the other Yue.

Correspondingly, the choice of the main general, which had made the emperor hesitate for a long time, was also decided.

Heifu and Tu Sui, their strategies have their own emphasis, and they can be said to be equal. Putting aside the question of strategy and competence, if you consider it purely from the political level, Qin Shi Huang is more inclined to Tu Sui than Heifu.

The emperor personally went to Yuzhang County to inspect, and the local superintendent secretly reported that there were many old departments of Yuzhang Heifu, and at the county level, the basic leader of the army was the Heifu Township Party.

Qin Shi Huang listened to these secret reports in his ears, but only said lightly: "I know." "And that's it.

Although Qin Shi Huang let go of his hand, it is probably not a good thing to let Heifu be the main general, re-become the boss of the old department, take charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, and live in the south for several years.

In addition, Heifu is young, if he is the commander, after this battle, he will definitely be a marquis! Hou, who is in his early thirties, what about after this? There is nothing to seal.

Qin Shi Huang was not afraid of imbalance, although Wang Ben returned to Xianyang after the old injuries attacked, I am afraid that he would have to go with his father. But there are also Meng Tian and Li Xin, these two prime-aged generals who have been crowned marquis are in the town above, what can Heifu do?

The emperor just felt ......

"It's not a good thing to be a young marquis, and it's hard to reward your merits, if I let him be a general at this time, I don't believe in him and value him, but hurt him......"

When the chaos was leveled, Heifu was a chicken killing knife, and Wang Ben was a cattle slaughtering blade.

But on the southern expedition, Heifu has been upgraded and has become a cattle slaughtering knife that the emperor is reluctant to use.

It is a person who can be a general in the future, not a one-time consumable......

On the contrary, it is not a bad thing to promote Tu Sui, who is already fifty years old, to give the empire another twilight general with great military achievements.

So Qin Shi Huang promulgated the final candidate:

"With Changsha Shoutu Sui as the general, Yu Zhangwei and Huiji Lieutenant as the generals, and Nanjun Supervisor Yu Shi Lu as the supervising army. Command 150,000 troops, 150,000 people, and conquer 100 Yue! ”

When he heard this candidate, Li You smiled and glanced at his father Li Si, and when Li Si glanced at Ye Teng, the court captain on the side, he found that this old man was also relieved! Also loudly agree with the emperor's choice!

Li Si frowned, feeling that things didn't seem to be as simple as his son thought.

Although Tu Sui was the general, Qin Shi Huang also referred to Heifu's suggestion to change some strategies.

For example, the emperor began to send pedestrian envoys to the south in full swing to plan for the surrender of Dongou in the south.

Although they all call themselves "Ou", they are all Yue people, but there is no kinship between East and West Ou. Dongou is a country established by the descendants of Goujian, the king of Yue, with the city of Guotianyi, the use of Chudi bird and insect language, the degree of civilization is high, at least it can be communicated.

Although Ouyue was already at war, it was still necessary to send merchants to South Vietnam and Minyue to carry out bribery and infiltration to prepare for a large-scale march.

From now until September, more than half a year will be used as a period of preparation for the war. Qin Shi Huang ordered Xu Lu, the superintendent of Nanjun, to improve transportation conditions and transport grain to the border.

At the same time, conscription began, in addition to tens of thousands of elite Qin people in Guanzhong, in this war, the emperor specially named to recruit more people from Chu. The reason is that the Chu people are accustomed to the southern climate, and it is not easy to get sick when they go to Baiyue, and during the period of the imperial court's crackdown, the light chivalrous and evil teenagers caught were all sent to Changsha, Huiji, and Yuzhang, so that they became the militia of the southern expedition, in fact, they were also cannon fodder.

"When the summer heat in the south dissipates, it is the time to use soldiers!"

The emperor's request was very simple: "In this battle, we will surrender a hundred Yue, so that the territory of Great Qin will reach the south and the north!" ”

The so-called "north-facing household" is the place where the people of the Qin Dynasty knew the extreme south, which is said to be in the south of the sun, and the Central Plains is reversed, and the local residents often open an account to the north to accept the sun, so it is said that the location is probably in the territory of Luoyue.

Although the emperor wanted to bulldoze Baiyue immediately, he also knew that the use of troops in the south would not happen overnight, at least for a year or two......

He could only suppress the anger of being offended by the disobedience of the little chief of Ouyue, and set his eyes to the north, where there was also a city-state that did not know whether to live or die, and dared to assassinate the emperor, and needed to withstand the thunder of Great Qin's heavenly power!

……

The use of troops in the south needs to be slow, but the use of troops in the north has to be speeded!

Qin Shi Huang's plan was that before autumn, Korea must be subdued, and before winter, the small state of Canghai Jun must be destroyed!

The prime minister and the Imperial History Mansion reported that in the land of Yan Zhao, 30,000 soldiers and people had been recruited and were being trained by the local captains. As soon as the emperor gave the order, they could set off from Yuyang, pass through Liaodong, and cross the Mazishui (Yalu River) in a majestic and high-spirited manner.

The Jiaodong County Shou Heifu, the county lieutenant Ren Huan also came to play a report, Qingdao and Zhifu two ports, there are also hundreds of sailing ships assembled, and the sea route has been explored, at any time to cross the sea and sail, besiege the sea from the sea, and provide grain and straw supplies for the land division.

Everything is ready, only the emperor has appointed the main general, deputy general and supervising the army, although the soldiers used are very few, less than one-tenth of the south, but the configuration that should be there must still be.

"Set up two generals, one on land and water, the land division is Yang Duanhe, the head of the chariot, and the boat division is the captain of Jiaodong County."

"Yang Duanhe?"

Li Si and the others were a little surprised, why did the emperor suddenly think of this veteran who was over sixty years old and had retired?

As early as more than 20 years ago, in the year when Qin Shi Huang was in power, Yang Duanhe served as Sima of other departments to attack Wei and take the Yan clan.

In the eleventh year, Yang Duanhe, as a captain, attacked Ye with Wang Jian and Huan Qi and took nine cities.

In the eighteenth year, the Qin State attacked Zhao, and Yang Duanhe, who was already the commander of the Hanoi army, cooperated with Wang Jian and Qiang to besiege Handan.

During the war of destroying Yan and Wei, he was still a general, this person fought like Wang Qian, very steady, and even more cautious, although he could not make great achievements, but he would not go wrong.

After the reunification, Yang Duanhe guarded Zhao Di for several years, retired from old age last year, and lived at home, while his son Yang Xiong was a lieutenant in the lieutenant army.

Now that Wang Jian and Qiang Qi have passed away, Yang Duanhe seems to have become one of the most senior generals in the Qin Dynasty, second only to Feng Wuxue. It's okay to have this veteran as the coach, but it's not appropriate to be just a general, right?

Although it didn't feel right, the important ministers didn't dare to speak out against it, and the emperor was happy.

Needless to say, the boat master has to be arrogant.

But who is the main general and the supervising army, Qin Shi Huang still hesitated for a long time, and when playing against Li Si, his hand pinched the chess pieces several times, put them down again, and repeated them several times.

Li Si has followed Qin Shi Huang for so many years, and he has never seen the emperor so indecisive.

In the end, Qin Shi Huang was ruthless, dropped the chess pieces heavily on the chessboard, and said two names.

"Fusu, Heifu!"

The left and right prime ministers and the imperial historians present looked at each other, Fusu was the supervising army, and Heifu was the general? Is this the emperor's compensation for the southern expedition without using Heifu as the main general?

But this expedition, Yan Zhao soldiers were used, not Jiaodong soldiers, if Heifu went to the front line as the main general, who would take care of Jiaodong County?

Moreover, although he is the eldest minister, it is still not appropriate to be Yang Duanhe's boss.

Li Si and Feng Qujian were worried about this, while Wang Juan was worried about Fusu.

The Prime Minister Zuo, who had lost the emperor's trust and might be removed at any time, sighed, intending to do a little more for the empire, and came forward to persuade:

"Your Majesty, the eldest son is the prison army again, this is Liaodong, bitter cold and far away, no better than the Saibei not far from Guanzhong, as the saying goes, the son of a daughter, do not sit in the hall......"

"Born in the deep palace and raised in the hands of women, I thought that everything was easy. If you don't sit in danger, how can you know the difficulty of military struggle, and it is definitely not child's play? How can you understand that not everything can be solved by Huairou and good people? ”

Qin Shi Huang's stern gaze swept over, making Wang Juan bow his head, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Also, did I say that Fusu is a prison army?"

"Huh!?"

This sentence was so shocking that the chess pieces in Li Si's hand fell on the chessboard and snapped. Feng Qujian was stunned, almost screamed, and hurriedly covered his mouth. Wang Juan was even more frightened and retreated again and again, almost falling!

This sentence is enough to make all the courtiers' hairs stand on end, make countless people think about it, and it is enough to make the heirs of the empire, who are not very clear, even more confusing!

They don't know how to respond, child's play? Monkey business? But this is the emperor's decision......

Qin Shi Huang stood up and said: "I have made up my mind, Heifu is the supervising army, and you can control the logistics in Jiaodong!" ”

"And Fusu, this time will be the main general, Yang Duanhe will assist him, and go to Liaodong with the army!"
