Chapter 278: The Ace Appears (First Update, 4000 Words)
"Thou shalt not say, thou shalt not say ......"
Of course, Yinggao can't tell him everything in his heart, this is also his way of control, to remain mysterious in front of the people under his command, so that they can maintain awe of their emperor, this is Yinggao's life creed that he has always adhered to when he came to this world alone, and it has nothing to do with whether his subordinates are loyal or not.
What the emperor doesn't want to say, you naturally can't open people's mouths and let people say it, but just through Yinggao's shaking his head and saying the word 'can't be said', Meng Yi knew that his monarch must still have a follow-up to Xiang Yu's matter, but he really doesn't know what this follow-up is.
Even so, in Meng Yi's heart, it is better than always being afraid that Yinggao will make a mistake, just say that the so-called fishing strategy against Xiang Yu that Yinggao said in his ear before, even if he let Meng Yi personally command this battle, he may not be able to achieve it.
On the way back to his room, Meng Yi looked in the direction of Xianyang City, and said in his heart that Daqin has such an emperor, which is really a great thing for Daqin's national fortune, but for a courtier like himself, he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
An emperor like the First Emperor, what people think in their hearts, they don't shy away from these courtiers at all, they can do whatever they want, and you will be done with support and cooperation.
But Yinggao is obviously not like this, he also does whatever he wants, but people don't tell you these courtiers in advance, but secretly observe, in case any courtier doesn't understand Yinggao's meaning, or has any other thoughts in his heart, it can't escape the eyes of this young emperor.
According to Meng Yi's summary, that is, in the first emperor's place before, it was you who coaxed the first emperor to play, and now, it is obvious that Yinggao is coaxing them to play, if which one is not good, Yinggao will not have any patience, he will definitely throw you to the ground directly for this child who is not coaxed, and no longer care about you.
When Meng Yi's head was foggy, on a small road at the intersection of Jiujiang County and Changsha County south of Chen County and Shouchun, a large group of people and horses were moving quickly.
There were about thirty or forty thousand men and horses, and the army was quite neat, and there were almost no other people on this path except for these people and horses passing by.
"How much time do you have left to reach Shouchun?"
"If you march like this, you can reach it in seven days, but when you reach Shouchun, I'm afraid our army doesn't have much combat power......"
"It doesn't matter, this time the previous task has been completed, and the work after that is temporarily added by the king, and there is no need to go back and forth, but if we win this time, the first merit is still counted as our waiting, but it is much easier than fighting to kill the head of the enemy."
This group of centaurs wore almost no emblematic armor, and if it weren't for the sharp weapons in their hands, others would have thought that they were immigrants who didn't know where to go.
But if you look closely, the murderous aura in their eyes is not something that can be seen in the eyes of ordinary Qianshou.
"Since the general said so, how can we not do our best to move forward? It's just the 10,000 brothers who were left in Nanhai County by the general......"
"If it weren't for the urgency of the requisition of the king, give me two more months, and I can help Fusu Gongzi control all the 300,000 troops in Nanhai County, but the incident happened suddenly, it is inevitable that Fusu Gongzi will have something unexpected in Nanhai County, and the 10,000 horses must be left."
This young general, isn't it Han Xin, when Yinggao learned that Wang Li was defeated by Xiang Yu in Shouchun, after thinking hard, he still decided to use strange soldiers for Xiang Yu, but Daqin's generals are full of soldiers, and Xiang Yu also has a number in his heart, which can be used by him as a surprise soldier, that is, Han Xin and the 50,000 troops led by him who should be around Nanhai County and Changsha County at that time.
So, Ying Gao directly did not alarm anyone, and sent his own guards to the vicinity of Nanhai County with his own order, looking for Han Xin according to the mark agreed between himself and Han Xin before.
When the guard found Han Xin, Han Xin had already led people deep into Nanhai County, because when Meng Yi left, he had already informed Han Xin of assisting Fusu in controlling the military power of Nanhai County.
Originally, Fusu thought that he would definitely not need Han Xin's 50,000 people, so they just waved their flags and cheered for themselves on the periphery.
But it turned out that this Nanhai county, which was established to conquer Baiyue, was not so easy to manage.
When many leaders of the Baiyue forces learned that Ren Huan was transferred back to Xianyang by Daqin, they were completely like I didn't know anyone except Brother Ren Huan, I don't care if you are the son of Fusu or what kind of son, it's not good, if you come, I will take back the land I lost before.
As a result, several Baiyue forces were connected in one place, and they directly began to invade the territory of Nanhai County.
And this side of Fusu has just taken control of the internal affairs of Nanhai County, so naturally he can't admit it at such a time, and he also wants to wipe out these small forces that are too big to be wiped out, so that other Baiyue forces can take a look.
But it backfired, although Nanhai County had an army of about 300,000, no matter which county Fusu wanted to recruit, the reply was that the Baiyue forces around their county had also rebelled, and they really couldn't draw out troops.
In the end, Zhao Tuo seemed to have wasted a lot of energy, and only then did he draw 20,000 horses from Longchuan County to Fusu, but these 20,000 people were enough for several Baiyue tribes to do a fart, and as soon as he made a move, Fusu's lungs were about to be blown up, and in a hurry, he remembered Han Xin.
On the tenth day of the envoy sent by Fusu, he met for the first time this general, who was younger than his younger brother Yinggao.
Originally, Fusu was a little skeptical about Han Xin's ability, but after Han Xin arrived, he didn't say a word, first asked the location of the Baiyue tribe that was reversed, and then set off on his own.
Here Fusu was still worried about Han Xin's safety, but within seven days, Han Xin almost came back as he went, but there were a few more wooden boxes in the hands of the people under his command, and the boxes were opened by Fusu to see, it was the heads of the leaders of the Baiyue tribe who were staggering around a few days ago and said that they wanted to get back the territory that originally belonged to them.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo and the other people in Nanhai County were dumbfounded, they didn't know Han Xin before, but this time they knew each other, and they remembered it deeply.
Before, they thought that after Meng Yi left, Fusu would be alone in Nanhai County, where birds don't, and they would make such a mess for Fusu in the early stage, so that if Fusu couldn't carry out the plan he was thinking about, Fusu would naturally have no heart.
At that time, with the temptation of taking some Mei Ji or something, won't this son of Daqin be abolished by them, at that time, Fusu doesn't care about anything, and he doesn't have military power in his hands, isn't this Nanhai County still their world?
But they never thought that the Qin people would leave such an army with such combat effectiveness and such a general near Fusu, which made them secretly glad in their hearts that they were fortunate not to jump out prematurely, otherwise, it would not be possible whose head was contained in the wooden box.
After Han Xinxin's actual actions won Fusu's trust, it was natural to give Fusu a good platform in this Nanhai County.
According to Han Xin's idea, he used a few months to help Su take the military power and control it in his own hands, so that his task in Nanhai County could be successfully completed.
But unfortunately, their abacus had just begun, and Han Xin received Yinggao's instructions.
In Yinggao's letter to Han Xin, he gave Han Xin a deadline and told him what to do before that deadline.
Because although Han Xin was in the south of Daqin, not far from Jiujiang, when Han Xin received the news of Yinggao, time was already very urgent for him.
Although he also slandered Yinggao's hasty instructions in his heart, he said in his heart that this Nima has to do every dirty work and tiredness, why do you let my brother and me do it? Is it because I'm young and don't have any qualifications?
But after thinking about it, Han Xin's heart is still very warm, and the more this is the case, the more it naturally shows that Yinggao has unconditional trust in him.
The task given to him by Yinggao, of course, Han Xin knew that it might not be so easy to complete.
Xiang Yu and his Jiangdong group army are not straw bales, when he arrives there, the war may not necessarily have any changes, he is indeed a trump card retained by Yinggao, but whether he can become the trump card in their hearts depends on whether Xiang Yu also has the trump card that has been retained.
Han Xin knew this truth early on, but if he let him leave Fusu here alone again, he would definitely not be able to do it.
So, with a wave of his hand, he directly left 10,000 horses for Fusu, and also left a deputy who was quite important to Fusu, and in front of everyone in Nanhai County, Han Xin only said that he wanted to go to Fanyang and clear some of Wu Rui's old departments that had been corrected by Great Qin, which meant nothing more than to go and go back.
Knowing that he had done these things, Han Xin left Nanhai County with Fusu's grateful gaze, because in the case of those 10,000 horses, it was a transfer of troops without Yinggao's permission.
If you really follow the terms in the Qin law, it is not too much to cut off your head, Fusu doesn't believe that any of those high-ranking Great Qin generals can have the courage of Han Xin, not to mention that he and Han Xin didn't know each other before.
"General, now that our army has entered the territory of Jiujiang County, once that Xiang Yu has a very tight control over Jiujiang County, I am afraid that if we don't get close to Shouchun, we will be discovered by his subordinates......"
The closer you get to the enemy's territory, the more uncertain factors there are, and what Yinggao asked Han Xin to do is not something that can be done by relying on a large number of people or bravery, so at this time, it is time to make a trade-off.
If you take a detour, it is not certain when you will arrive, and the fastest way is to follow the very large but long strip of Jiujiang County all the way north.
"You don't need so many people for this...... I'll do it ......."
As he spoke, Han Xin summoned two of his cronies to his side and whispered in their ears.
"General, it's too risky, it's better to replace you with the last general......"
"If you feel in your heart that your ability to command the army is already far stronger than mine, and your understanding of this Jiujiang is far better than mine, I will let you be virtuous, how about it?"
"Naturally, that can't be compared to a general......"
"Don't make noise here, quickly follow what the general said, otherwise if you miss the deadline, you will be the first to cut off your head!"
After cursing without knowing whether it was true or not, this subordinate with a worried look was scolded away by Han Xin, and then he and another cronie lowered their heads again, not knowing what they were discussing in a low voice.
……
It was night, more than 100 miles outside Chen County, it was originally a vacant land, but now, I don't know when it has been arranged with a layer of fence, it is like a camp, although there are sergeants patrolling, but the number is not much, at first glance, but all the generals with rich combat experience will feel that this is a rather secret place.
Ji Bu is such a general with considerable combat experience, he led 10,000 elite soldiers all the way to this place according to the ambiguous prompts of the scouts sent by Xiang Yu before, and finally made a discovery.
"General, according to the investigation of the vanguard sent by our army on the periphery, there should not be many sergeants in this camp, that is, a thousand, and I don't know what is in those camps."
As soon as Ji Bu heard this, he said in his heart what else could this be, it was naturally a transit station to provide food and baggage for Chen Ying's battalion.
The reason why Chen Ying has been harassing Shouchun for more than half a month must be the food here, otherwise the passage from Chen County to Shouchun is too long, and it is easier for Xiang Yu to find and sneak attack.
"Don't be reckless, first send two shrewd soldiers to sneak into the camp through the patrolling sergeants, and spy around the perimeter to see what is in the tent?"
The reason why Ji Bu was able to gain the trust of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng also had a great deal to do with his meticulous thinking, in fact, he could have ignored what was in it, and led the defenders out and burned them, but Ji Bu couldn't stand such a foolish account, if he wanted to do this, he had to understand it.
In less than half an hour, Jibu got the result he wanted. Only one of the two sergeants who had risked their lives to infiltrate the camp returned, and although it was discovered, the news he brought back was enough for Jibu to settle the matter in less than half an hour.
