In the early winter of 216 BC, the Lingqu was finally successfully completed under the hassle of 250,000 Qin soldiers day and night. Since then, not only can the grain in the granary of Bashu of the Qin State directly reach the forefront of the battlefield from the waterway, but even the grain from the headquarters of the Qin State can also be sent to the front line from the Yellow River directly down the Yangtze River, through Xiangshui and Lingqu. After being transported by water, not only the loss of grain and grass on the way was reduced by more than half, but also the time for transporting grain was shortened by one-third, and the most important thing was that the carrying capacity of the ship was dozens or hundreds of times greater than that of the vehicle.

After two or three months of rest, the Qin army had enough food and high morale, and they were heavily stationed in Xing'an Fort, ready to point to Lingnan!

Xing'an Fort, the Qin Army Marshal's Mansion!

The generals are all in the right place! Discuss the southern expedition.

Fusu pointed to the sand table and said confidently: "Generals, now that the spiritual canal is dug and the grain and grass are sufficient, our army will no longer worry about the shortage of grain and grass in the southern expedition, and it is time to completely solve the problem!"

Ren Huan nodded and said: "Yes, our army has solved its worries, and it is time to find the opportunity for a decisive battle for the South Vietnamese army!"

Fusu smiled: "That's good, so Benjun specially gathered the generals to discuss it!" If you have any good opinions, please feel free to speak up!"

Tu Sui hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, I don't think that after the rest of the Siling army is now sending grain and grass to it through the Ling Canal, the problem of shortage of grain and grass no longer exists, so the minister suggested that the five route armies should go down to Lingnan and attack the South Vietnamese army together!"

Li Xin said disapprerovingly: "I don't think it's necessary!" The rest of the Siling army is only 120,000 people, and it may not be of much use to put it into the battlefield, and it is enough to have 300,000 troops all the way to Yuechengling! It's better to use the army of these four ridges as a reserve! In addition, the army of these four ridges can also be used as a garrison to cultivate land and replenish the army; On the one hand, block the four ridges to prevent the South Vietnamese from stealing out of the four ridges and attacking the main force of our army!"

Fusu sighed. looked at the generals and said, "Is there anyone else talking?"

Ren said arrogantly: "General Wei also agrees with General Li's opinion, the soldiers are not expensive, but the essence is fine, and my 300,000 troops all the way across the Chengling should be enough to solve the Lingnan problem!" Moreover, the terrain of Lingnan is complex, the bushes are deep and dense, and it is necessary to deal with it calmly step by step, so we must not leave a way back, and we must also prevent the South Vietnamese from stealing out of the five ridges and attacking us with the help of geographical advantages, so it is better to stay in the army to garrison the remaining four ridges!"

Fusu thought for a while and said, "That's right! If our army crosses the Yuecheng Ridge. The war is unfavorable, and the remaining four ridges can also be used as surprise troops to attack and harass the hinterland of South Vietnam, so let's decide! Listen to the generals!" Hula: "All the generals stood up together and stood solemnly!"

"General Tu Sui led 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Xing'an Fort, defend the Lingqu, guard the back road, and the rest of the soldiers and horses of the Four Mountains also stayed on standby! The three generals Shi Lu, Ren Huan, and Li Xin led an army of 300,000 to march south with Benjun to pacify the South China Sea!" Whoa!" The generals are commanded!

Three days later, the Qin army of 300,000 rushed to the southwest along the Li River, and more than 400 miles away was the location of a pillar forest, the capital of the Ouyue people!

Guilin. South Vietnamese battalion!

Beneath a hill and a dense forest, thousands of grass huts are densely scattered along the banks of the Tanshui River, dotting the verdant land like stars in the night sky.

Under the sunset. Tens of thousands of South Vietnamese warriors were busy in the grass huts as it was time for evening cooking.

These South Vietnamese warriors were not very tall. But they were very strong and stout, and everyone wore short clothes and skirts made of animal skins, and carried spears or bronze swords, and their heads were scattered. He has tattoos on his arms and black oil on his face, and he looks fierce and vicious!

Among the many cottages, there is one that is particularly huge. The circumference is at least 60 meters or more, standing majestically in the crowd! In this huge house, a large number of South Vietnamese nobles are gathering at this time, all wearing precious tiger, leopard, and bear skins, tied with precious tortoiseshell, pearls and gold ornaments, and are sitting on straw mats!

Among them, the most prominent is a big man sitting in the middle of the north head. This person is about forty years old, with a long beard on his bare face, blazing eyes, wearing a tiger skin jacket, wearing a golden hoop on his head, and the muscles on his body are tense, full of strength, and the whole person looks like he can only be described in one word: mighty! This is the Nanyue King Volunteer! His arms are tattooed with the totem of the Nanyue tribe: Tiger, this fierce beast with teeth and claws adds a bit of majesty to the volunteers!

Since the Nanyue people are the main ethnic group of the Nanyue Kingdom, the volunteers of the Nanyue King have also become the kings of the Nanyue Kingdom, ruling the vast land of Lingnan!

On the left side of the volunteer sat a person, this person wrapped his head in linen, his long hair was draped obliquely, wearing a leopard skin jacket, his face was dark and thin, and a string of shining golden bells were tied around his waist. His arms are tattooed with the map of the Ouyue people: elephant, because Ouyue borders Yunnan and Guizhou, close to the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna, so the elephant is the totem of his own people!

At the right of the construction site sat a man who was also wearing a tiger skin jacket, but he looked a little unpleasant: thin and short, with small eyes and whiskers, and his body was covered with all kinds of gold ornaments, tortoiseshells, and pearls like an upstart! This is Wang Luoying of the Luo Yue tribe in Nanyue! The image of the tattoo on his arms is a little creepy: it turned out to be two black snakes spitting poisonous letters, and the object of worship of the ancestors of the Vietnamese people is really a bit strange!

And further down, there are the bravest generals of the three ethnic groups of the South Vietnamese Kingdom, although these people are not tall, they are all very strong and strong, and because they live in the jungle all year round, these people have all refined a pair of iron feet, all of them are barefoot! Of course, the volunteers and other three kings still have to pay attention to their demeanor and wear some delicate straw sandals or something!

At this time, the atmosphere in the house seemed to be a little depressed, and the volunteers of the King of Nanyue kept banging on the table in front of them, wrinkling their faces, obviously thinking about something. Suddenly, the volunteer said in a deep voice: "Why don't you speak?" In the past few months, everyone was full of confidence, saying that the Qin people would not invade Lingnan, but now that the Qin people are about to invade, why have they become dumb again?"

When everyone saw that the volunteers were on fire, they didn't dare to speak for a while. The volunteer lowered his face and pointed to the next person. He shouted: "Aung San, didn't you brazenly assure this king that it was impossible for the Qin army to invade Lingnan on a large scale!? Now what do you have to say?"

Around thirty years ago, Aung San, a capable and brave Nanyue general, couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly said: "Great King, the last general thought that it would be impossible for the Qin people to solve the problem of grain and grass supply, so that even if they had a million male soldiers, they would have nothing to do with us; Even if they come to kill recklessly, as long as our army breaks the time and harasses it from all sides, then it will soon retreat! Unexpectedly, the Qin people unbelievably dug a spiritual canal and transported a large amount of grain and grass from the waterway. No more worries about food shortages! This is the last general's inconsiderate point, please punish the king!"

The volunteer snorted heavily from his nose and yelled, "Waste, all waste!" What is the use of this king raising you?"

Seeing this, Ou Long said with a smile: "The king is angry for the time being!" Now is not the time to punish the generals, it is better to find a way to retreat from the enemy!"

The volunteer was slightly relieved when he heard this, looked at the generals, and asked, "What Brother Oulong said is very true!" Do you have a way to retreat?"

Quan Cha, the general of the Nanyue tribe, said: "King, the last general thinks that you can't fight hard with it!" It is said that the Qin army's invasion of Lingnan reached 300,000 troops, and there were more than 100,000 troops left in Lingbei that could be reinforced at any time. But the total strength of our army is only 200,000, and there are only more than 100,000 people gathered in Guilin, so I am afraid that they will not be its opponents!"

Ou Long heard this. Displeased: "Quan Poor, how can you grow the ambition of others." Destroy your own prestige! Although the Qin army was brave, when they came to Lingnan, they not only did not adapt to the water and soil, but also did not occupy the land. Even if there are a lot of people, why be afraid!"

Aung San said: "King Ouyue, the last general thinks that General Quancha is reasonable!" The Qin army was brave and slaughtered the six countries of Kwantung in the front, and swept away Dongou and Minyue in the back. Don't underestimate it, otherwise you will bring disaster upon yourself! The minister thought that it would be better to clear the wilderness and lure the enemy deeper and deeper, and then find a way to break the enemy!"

When Ou Long heard this, his black face suddenly turned a little red and purple, and he said angrily: "Nonsense! The area around Guilin is where my Ouyue people have lived for generations, how can I give it to others! This kind of thing that runs away from the wind is not done by this king, and he has no face to say it to the elders of the clan!"

Ou Pu, the general of the Ouyue tribe, was also busy saying: "Not bad! My Ouyue people have settled here for more than 100 years, and it is difficult to leave the homeland, so we must not give up lightly, otherwise I will see the elders in the countryside again! The last general agrees with our king's idea, or compete with the Qin army, our army occupies all the geographical advantages, people, and may not lose!"

For a while, everyone was arguing: most of the Nanyue generals were willing to retreat slowly, temporarily avoid the Qin army's edge, and look for opportunities to counterattack, after all, Guilin and other places are not the territory of the Nanyue people, and they are not distressed if they are lost; However, the Ouyue people were not happy that the territory they had lived in for generations could be given to others, so they were determined to fight and defend their homeland to the death; But the people of the Luo Yue tribe were silent, because Luo Yue's territory was far away in the south, and whether they fought or withdrew in Guilin would not threaten their interests, so they made a fortune in a muffled voice, and they could not be offended!

For a while, the volunteers couldn't help but feel a little difficult: although he was the king of the Nanyue tribe, he was also the king of the Nanyue country, and it was impossible to only take into account the opinions of the generals of his own tribe and ignore the opinions of the Ouyue people, otherwise if he had not yet fought with the Qin army, he would not be fighting internally, wouldn't it be self-defeating! The volunteer thought about it, waved his hand, and everyone slowly calmed down!

"What does this king mean, it's not a bad thing to fight with the Qin army, at least you can find out some of the truth of the Qin army and know their true combat power! If the war is unfavorable, our South Vietnamese are familiar with the geographical advantages, and it will not be too late to withdraw!" The volunteers are in harmony with the mud, taking care of the emotions of both the clan and the Ou clan!

When Aung San saw that the volunteers had spoken, he had no choice but to say, "Since the king has made a decision, the last general will not dare to object!" It's just that the soldiers are in danger, and I also ask the king of Ouyue to arrange for the Ouyue people near Zhulin to retreat south, so as not to be caught off guard and killed by the Qin army!"

Ou Long said with satisfaction: "This is acceptable to this king!" But my Ouyue people will never retreat far, just retreat a hundred miles south, there is no need for more, anyway, I will come back soon! This king doesn't believe that he can't beat the Qin people!"

Seeing this, the volunteer breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Okay, since you have decided to fight, who has the strategy to deal with it?"

Luo Ying spoke up this time: "Great King, Little Wang has an idea, maybe he can let Qin Jun know how powerful my Nanyue people are?"

"Oh!? Brother Luo Yingxian, what is the plan, come quickly!" The volunteer seemed a little impatient, and his face, which was already a little red, became even redder.

Luo Ying's small mouse eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Snake! Lead the Qin army into the jungle and summon a large number of poisonous snakes to trap them to death!" Everyone suddenly remembered: Among the three divisions of South Vietnam, Luo Yue is the best at driving snakes and insects to fight!

The volunteer was stunned when he heard this, and said a little strangely: "Although the virtuous brother said that the land is a good plan!" It's just that it's winter, and the snakes are hibernating, how do you summon them?"

Luo Ying smiled coldly: "Don't worry about this, my Luo Yue clan has its own ancestral magic method, which can quickly activate the snakes and insects in hibernation; And because of hunger, these snakes and insects are far more ferocious than usual, and they will definitely make the Qin army return defeated, and taste the power of my Luo Ying!"

The volunteer was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, with the help of this wonderful skill, this king will not be afraid of the Qin army this time!"

When the volunteers were overjoyed, Ou Long said with some disdain: "King, just snakes and insects are a small plan, why worry about it!" My Ouyue tribe has hundreds of war elephants purchased from the two western barbarian countries of Leaky Lie and Dianding, these big guys are all too tall and fierce than lions and tigers, and the soldiers command the battle on their backs, which is really invincible and invincible! As long as this king leads a hundred war elephants and 10,000 Ouyue soldiers to fight, he can defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop, and maybe there is no need for any snakes and insects to ambush him!"

Luo Ying snorted when she heard this, and said with a smile: "King Ouyue is so brave, Luo Ying admires it!" It's just that the Qin army is not a weak brigade, and I hope to see the complete return of King Ouyue at that time!"

Ou Long has always looked at Luo Ying's yin and yang weirdness, and he also snorted: "You look at it, my Ouyue people's courage is by no means comparable to some people!"

The volunteer saw that the two seemed to be about to face each other, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay!" Then let Ou Long's virtuous brother lead the troops first, if he wins, of course, it is a good thing; If you don't win, then ask Luo Yingxian to come out! Okay, let's decide, in the future, I will lead the army to personally sweep the battle for Oulong's virtuous brother!" Yes, King!" Everybody get up together!

Ou Long and Luo Ying glanced at each other, each a little dumbfounded! Although these two people are from the same country, they have always been at odds, and they are old enemies in quarrels and quarrels, and the volunteers don't know how many times they have mediated for the two, and they are also annoying!

The next day, the South Vietnamese army marched eastward and slowly advanced to the Lishui line to meet the invading Qin army!
