Chapter 296: Countless Gunsmoke in Wucheng (2)

(Happy Doomsday everyone, if the world hadn't collapsed at three o'clock in the afternoon, then there must have been two more shifts today!)

PS: It's all over, why do you still have your red ticket? Smash me! )

Wucheng, the county town of Huiji County, is a famous, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was one of the overlords of the capital of Wu, Gou Jian had been a slave for three years here, and he had all his grandsons, although Wu Cheng later also saw Gou Jian's counterattack, but Wu Cheng still recorded Gou Jian's slave appearance after all, which is estimated to be the only one in history who is a slave to others as a king. Ten years later, when Gou Jian's soldiers came to the city, Wu Cheng witnessed Fucha's suicide in shame, and it is said that Wu Zixu's eyes were still hanging on this city gate at that time.

Kure Castle is a city with a history. Qin Cheng felt so in his heart when he walked into Wu Cheng.

Before Qin Cheng and Dongfang Shuo left Chang'an, Liu Che gave the two of them the power to "make arbitrary decisions, cut first and then play", so it was feasible for Qin Cheng and Dongfang Shuo to appoint Kong Jin, the governor of Huiji County, to temporarily act as the county governor. This is actually a choice without a choice, at this time, except for the commander who led the troops, Qin Cheng and Dongfang Shuo could not let anyone else take Yangpu's position.

Everyone entered Wucheng without resting and went directly to the county guard's mansion, and the county guard Yangpu dragged the remnants of the soldiers out to greet them, but after saying two words to Qin Cheng and Dongfang Shuo, the body fell soft, Qin Cheng asked Yangpu to help him back to rest, and he asked Qin Qingzhi to settle everyone in the county guard's mansion.

After dinner, Qin Cheng and the others discussed the current situation in Minyue with Kong Jin and his party, and Qin Cheng realized that the situation in Minyue was far more complicated than he expected.

"Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue, led 50,000 elite soldiers to conquer South Vietnam for more than ten days, according to the front-line report, the Minyue army has been like a bamboo, five hundred miles to the west, and has arrived in Panyu. It's just that the king of Nanyue also gathered heavy troops in Panyu, and the two sides may have a big battle here. Kong Jin said, "Panyu is an important town in the east of South Vietnam, but also the gateway to the central part of South Vietnam, once Pan Yu misses, the central region of South Vietnam will be in no danger to defend, and the situation is very unfavorable to the king of South Vietnam." ”

Speaking of which, we can't help but explain the history of Minyue.

In the 35th year of King Zhou Xian (334 B.C.), the Yue Kingdom disintegrated, and his children and grandchildren were forced to disperse on the seaside of the south of the Yangtze River. In this sense, there is a reason why the king of Minyue always thinks about attacking Dongou and Nanyue.

Later, Qin Shi Huang ruled the world and completed the hegemony. But the Qin Dynasty collapsed in a vigorous peasant uprising. Because the king of Minyue shook and Wuzhu had led the Minyue soldiers to oppose Qin with the princes, and then assisted Liu Bang to defeat Xiang Yu, Liu Bang then "re-established Wuzhu as the king of Minyue in the fifth year of Gaozu (202 BC), the hometown of Wang Minzhong, and Duye." Ten years later, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty was crowned as the king of the East China Sea, all of which was Eastern Europe, commonly known as the king of Eastern Europe. In the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (138 B.C.), King Minyue merged Eastern Europe.

After the king of Minyue conquered Dongou in the north, attacked Nanyue in the south, and the people of Baiyue surrendered, and the surrounding countries surnamed Liu all curried favor with their treasures and treasures, and Minyue has become a powerful force in the south of the Western Han Dynasty.

Since the Han Dynasty, one is because the national strength has not recovered, and the other is because the emperors before Liu Che have pursued the study of Huang Laozhi to govern the country and are unwilling to raise troops for the land of Minyue, so they don't care much about the king of Minyue tossing here. But when it came to Liu Che's dynasty, it was different, Liu Che naturally couldn't tolerate having such a strong and unacceptable kingdom under his rule, so as soon as there was a war in the land of Minyue, Liu Che would send people to beat and beat, but Liu Che's henchmen after succeeding to the throne were the Xiongnu, and before the problem of the Xiongnu was solved, Liu Che had always held a delicate balance in the intensity of the Minyue beating.

In the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (135 B.C.), the king of Minyue led his troops to attack Nanyue, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to attack Fujian. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did turn the war into a jade silk, and later established Wusun Chou as the king, and renamed it the king of Yueqiu. But Yu Shan's prestige is far more ugly, there is appeal, much support, the Yue Xiang Wang is ugly, and the Han Wu Emperor simply issued an edict to enshrine Yu Shan as the king of Dongyue, and the king of Yue Xiang coexisted, but in fact, the king of Yue became a vassal of Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue. In fact, the ugly man does not have much say in the land of Minyue. In the following years, Minyue worked hard under the leadership of Yu Shan, and the country became prosperous. Now that Yu Shan has money in his hand, he is unruly again, and he began to send troops to attack South Vietnam, which is actually a repeat of the mistakes of Su Ying, it seems that Yu Shan seems to be stupid and unreasonable, but in fact, this is not incomprehensible. Because in Yu Shan's eyes, the Baiyue (Dongou (Dongou , Minyue, Nanyue) are all descendants of the Yue King, so they naturally want to be unified, and now that Minyue is powerful, Yu Shan may also think that Liu Che is busy fighting with the Huns for a while and will not pay attention to him, and he can just take the opportunity to unify Baiyue. As for what will happen after the unification of Baiyue, it is unknown.

After listening to Kong Jin's statement, Qin Cheng and Dongfang Shuo also understood the current situation, and Qin Cheng asked, "How many available soldiers are there in Huiji County?" What is the class configuration? ”

"Back to General Qin, there are more than 30,000 soldiers in the county, and 20,000 soldiers can be called up temporarily. There were about 8,000 infantry officers, 10,000 boatmen and more than 2,000 cavalry. "The aperture is truthful.

Qin Cheng nodded, signaling for understanding. Huiji County can have such a strong military force is also the result of Liu Che's prevention of Baiyue in the past two years, after all, Huiji is an outpost of Minyue in the south, and the king of Minyue is not the first to divide, and the strength of Huiji County is less, and the Han really has no confidence in dealing with the problem of Minyue. Qin Cheng has understood it now, no wonder Liu Che didn't let himself bring troops over, Huiji County has such a force, and he has the Han behind him, if he can't solve the problem of Minyue, it will be too incompetent. After all, now the king of Minyue is attacking Nanyue instead of attacking the Han Dynasty.

As for the cavalry, although the number is small, it is enough, after all, this place is no more than the Central Plains, no more than the grassland, and the terrain is rugged, and there is not much use for more cavalry. However, the role of the boatman is much greater, and there are many rivers in the land of Minyue, and the navy (boatman) is naturally very useful.

After a preliminary understanding of Huiji County and the current situation with Kong Jin and others, Qin Cheng let everyone disperse, and he and Dongfang Shuo and others went back to plan countermeasures.

In the room, Qin Cheng, Dongfang Shuo, and Gongsun Ce sat opposite each other. Qin Cheng and Dongfang Shuo, as the supreme commanders of this operation, naturally had to exchange ideas first to come up with a general idea of action, and then let everyone discuss, otherwise there would be a lot of noise or everyone would be silent, and it would be difficult to draw a truly useful conclusion for a while. Although Dou Fei was just a poor person present, it was not yet the time for formal discussion, so it was nothing to let him listen or come up with ideas from the side, so he would be regarded as Qin Cheng's personal staff.

"Brother Qin, you have led the army to fight for many years, you are good at this kind of thing, what do you think?" After being silent for a while, Dongfang Shuo asked.

"If it is a simple sword and soldier against each other, I am naturally good at it, but this time the situation is obviously different, you and I want to put pressure on Yu Shan to force him to give up attacking South Vietnam, but also can't turn his face too much with him and force him from his current position to the level of resisting the Han. Among them, it is so profound, Brother Gongsun has been by His Majesty's side for a long time, and he should be more proficient in this than me. Qin Cheng smiled and said, whether he can solve the matter of Minyue Land is one thing, but this time Liu Che naturally asked Dongfang Shuo to follow him to deal with this matter, and naturally he had the intention of letting Dongfang Shuo make meritorious contributions, how could Qin Cheng take everything on his shoulders? Naturally, some credit should be given to Dongfang Shuo and Gongsun Ce, so that it is beneficial to Dongfang Shuo and Liu Che, and of course it will be beneficial to himself.

Dongfang Shuo smiled, naturally understanding that Qin Cheng was giving credit to himself, but this was also a burden on himself, responsibility and merit have always been inseparable, if you do it well, it will be credit, and if you don't do it well, you will suffer the consequences. However, Dongfang Shuo was obviously full of confidence, and he said: "Since we are here on behalf of Your Majesty, and he is the king of Minyue as a courtier, we naturally have to salute first and then soldier." Therefore, I think that the envoys should be sent first, but at the same time we must be in full swing to prepare for the dispatch of troops. ”

"Brother Dongfang is right." Qin Cheng agreed, and asked Gongsun Ce, "What do you think?" ”

Seeing Qin Cheng ask himself, Gongsun Ce smiled and said casually: "I'm not good at this kind of thing, you two have decided, just don't forget to go to the battlefield and let me be a pioneer when the time comes!" ”

"Can't you say something useful?" Dongfang Shuo said with contempt, and said to Qin Cheng: "The problem now is that we must not only send someone over to negotiate first, but also hurry up, once Yu Shan breaks through Panyu, it will be much more troublesome to do anything." ”

"This place is thousands of miles away from Panyu, and it will take nearly half a month to send someone back and forth in the past at the earliest. If this is the case, I am afraid that Panyu will be broken in a month. Qin Cheng analyzed.

"It's trouble." Dongfang Shuo scratched his head, his face bitter.

"This is very troublesome, the horizontal and vertical is to fight, it is better for us to directly lead the troops to fight over, burn Yu Shan's ass, I don't believe that he will not let go of Panyu to help, the so-called one force to break a hundred coincidences!" Gongsun Ce finally didn't hold back and shouted.

"You martial arts idiot, you know how to fight!" Dongfang Shuo scolded, "Do you understand that you have to salute first and then the soldiers?" We can't let Yu Shan pull his pigtails! This time he started fighting without saying a word, which angered Yu Shan, if he made any impulsive moves, it would be annoying! Now that His Majesty is focused on dealing with the Huns, where is there leisure to take care of Yu Shan? We must ensure that this matter is resolved reasonably, and we must not let him escalate, let alone let it affect the major affairs of His Majesty's use of troops against the Huns! ”
