In the spring and March of 217 B.C., in order to further appease the old people of Dongou in Minzhong County, Fusu carried out a heavy 'bone washing and burial' on the first kings of Dongou 'An Zhu' and 'Su Shao' in accordance with the old practice of the Baiyue nation.

The so-called "bone washing burial", or "secondary burial", in ancient China, all over the Yangtze River, such as Jiangsu, Xijiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan's Han people, as well as many ethnic minorities, such as the Zhuang and Tibetans, have this custom. In fact, until now, the Crane Lao and Hakka people in Taiwan have also adopted this funeral ritual: after several years or a certain period of time, the coffin is opened to take the bones, and then the whole skeleton is placed one by one into a pottery urn called "Jin Dou", and then re-buried. It is said that this will enable the deceased to live in the underworld and be reincarnated into a good family!

Fusu's act of respecting the customs and habits of ethnic minorities has better calmed the hearts of the people in Fujian and completed the necessary preparations for the southward expedition!

Oupu Yangdong Ou Old Palace, Fusu and the generals are holding a military meeting!

"Minyue State, like Dongou State, is a country established by the Yue people and local Baiyue ancestors who fled to the south after the destruction of Yue by Chu State, and also adopts the method of tribal alliance autonomy, but Minyue State is far stronger and more prosperous than Dongou State, with 300,000 mouths and 60,000 soldiers, and there are some other ethnic minorities under its jurisdiction, with a population of no less than 100,000. In wartime, there may be nearly 100,000 troops to be recruited, and the enemy must not be underestimated!" Relying on his familiarity with the countries of Baiyue, Ren Huan introduced the situation of the opponent to the generals!

"I don't think the difference between the customs and habits of the Dongou Kingdom and the Central Plains is too big, the people can understand the Qin language, and the Central Plains script is also spoken among officials! General Ren, what is the difference between Minyue and Dongou Kingdom?" Li Xin asked with interest.

"It's a big difference! After all, Dongou is very close to Huiji, so it is greatly influenced by Chu Feng and the Central Plains, and its customs and habits are similar. The physique and appearance of the people are also similar! Minyue is much worse: Minyue people are short and stout, short-faced, with few hairs, wide noses, and round and large eyes; Accustomed to living by the mountains and water, not only good at climbing mountains and mountains, but also good at water fighting, good at boating and rafting, and the custom of 'broken hair tattoos'! Their language is also different from that of Dongou people, and it is very difficult to understand! It is difficult for the people of the Central Plains to communicate with it, and the script used between officials and nobles is also the ancient Yue language, which is relatively difficult to recognize! In comparison, it is more difficult to fight in the Minyue country than in Dongou, and it is necessary to recruit many people from the Dongou border who understand the language and geography of Minyue. Otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed!" Ren Huan carefully explained to everyone!

Fusu nodded and said, "General Ren is reasonable, this matter is up to you!" Ren Huan nodded.

Fusu said: "According to the previous stage of investigation, after the Minyue Kingdom exterminated the Dongou State, it strengthened its vigilance, and its main force of 60,000 people has been assembled near the capital city and village to stand by, and there are signs of going north to the border to fight with me. If this is the case, this is a good thing for our army, our Qin army is good at regular field warfare and siege warfare, if it is more difficult to fight with the Minyue people in the mountains, forests and water surfaces that they are good at, it will be much easier to have a head-on decisive battle on the plains!"

Ren Huan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy. The current king of Minyue is called Wuzhu, this person is both wise and brave, and he is not shaking. You may not be willing to fight me head-on, I'm afraid it's a little tempting. After discovering the disadvantage, they will retreat to the Minyue Mountains and the dense area of the water network to deal with me, and it is far more difficult to capture the Minyue Kingdom than Dongou!"

Fusu said with a smile: "The soldiers will come to cover, and the water will come to the earth." Could it be that our Qin army is still afraid of these people, and I will pass on my general's order that the army will prepare for three days, and the troops will be sent to Minyue after three days. Wipe out the country!" Whoa!"

Minyue, the national capital, the city and village!

This is a very prosperous city, with a population of more than 50,000, it is the largest city in the southeast of China at that time.

Since the reign of King Wuzhu of Minyue, the country of Minyue has become more and more prosperous, and Wuzhu thinks that the original low city walls and messy city appearance of the original city and village do not conform to the image of a strong country, so he mobilized a large number of people and financial resources to completely rebuild the city and village!

After completion, the scale of the city and village is huge, the stone wall is nearly 10 meters high, the circumference is more than 20 li, and it can accommodate 500,000 to 100,000 people. The streets in the city are wide, the layout is reasonable, the drainage system is perfect, and it is the only important town in the southeast area that can be compared with the Central Plains at that time. It's just that all kinds of stone and wooden houses are relatively simple, far less gorgeous and exquisite than the countries of the Central Plains, but they are second to none among the countries of Baiyue. Moreover, there are many shops in the city, and the business is prosperous, it is the most important commercial center of the Minyue country at that time, not only the Minyue people often come here to trade, but also the Dongou people and the Nanyue people also come here from time to time to trade!

And Minyue Wangcheng is also very spectacular, covering an area of 10,000 square meters, with four city gates. Between the east and west gates is a 10-meter-wide avenue paved with cobblestones. On the north side of the avenue is the palace area with a wide area and many pavilions, and the main hall alone has more than 900 square meters, which is extremely luxurious; South of the avenue is the military camp and the training ground, there is no good martial arts, like the military, often practice the army here, and directly train tens of thousands of Minyue troops to be strong and strong, brave and abnormal!

All of the above, it can be seen that the king of Minyue Wuzhu can be called a generation of heroes, and the Minyue country is now also the heyday of history, if the Qin State wants to pacify the Minyue Kingdom, with the young and vigorous mentality of Wuzhu, it will inevitably be a vicious battle!

At this time, in the council hall, King Wuzhu of Minyue was sitting on the wide throne, scanning the civil and military forces of His Royal Highness. Dressed in a delicate fur jacket, with short hair and beardless hair, he was of medium height, with a stout physique, two muscular tattoos of two tigers descending from the mountains on his arms, and he was demonstrating to the crowd with his teeth and claws; Wearing a crown made of many pearls, holding a golden domed scepter, his round eyes stared at His Highness's ministers with blazing eyes, and their square faces, straight noses, and oblique eagle eyebrows all exuded a formidable majesty! Just looking at this appearance, Wuzhu is worthy of a generation of heroes!

After glancing at the civil and military ministers, Wuzhu paused for the golden power battle in his hand, and said loudly: "According to the report of Tanma, the 200,000 troops of the Qin State are stationed in Oupuyang, the capital of the Dongou State, and are now mobilizing troops and horses, recruiting guides, and there is a tendency to invade our country's land downward. What do you think?"

When Prime Minister Boyue heard this, he said: "The king doesn't need to worry! My Minyue country is now a strong country, strong soldiers and strong horses, coupled with heavy mountains and mountains, dense water networks, the Qin people are not good at mountain warfare and water warfare, although there are 200,000 people, why be afraid!"

When the general Jin Hu heard this, he said: "The Qin people have destroyed Dongou and are still greedy enough, which is really hateful!" The minister thought that although my Minyue and Dongou have always been at odds, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. The Qin army is about to enter, and we must prepare early!"

Wu Zhu nodded and said, "Then how should General Jin and us deal with the enemy?"

Jin Hu replied: "The minister thinks that the capital village of our country is only more than 400 miles away from the border of Dongou country, if the Qin army invades from the confluence of Songxi and Xiaoxi, it will be able to attack the city and village of our city in about seven days under the rapid march!" However, the terrain of the land where the Qin army passed was relatively gentle, lacking mountains, and it was difficult for our army's advantages in mountain warfare to be brought into play. However, the water network in this area is dense, and the two major rivers Chongyang River and Nanpu River are natural barriers, guarding the capital villages of China; Moreover, Songxi is stuck on the Qin army's logistics arteries and the hinterland of the army, which can also be of great use! When the idea of warfare in the land of ministers. Taking advantage of the characteristics of the Qin army's poor water warfare, all large and small ships and warships in the country were mobilized to deploy defenses in the areas of Nanpuxi and Songxi. The two sides attacked back and forth, harassing the Qin army day and night. As long as the Qin army can be blocked between the two rivers for about two or three months, the Qin army will have difficulty supplying food and grass, and it will definitely retreat!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhu raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Okay." What General Jin said is exactly what this king wants, come and pass on my king's order to collect all the ships in the country. With 30,000 sailors deployed on Nanpu River, 20,000 troops stationed in Songxi, and 10,000 people guarding the city and village, this king wants to have a duel with the Qin army to see who is the hero in the end!"

"King Shengming!" The civil and military also hurried up to pat the ass!

As a result, under the order of Wu Zhu, the people on the front line in the north of Minyue began to evacuate their homes one after another, retreated to the southern part of Fujian and the mountainous areas, and carried out the clearing of the wilderness; In addition, almost all the fishing boats and ferries in the country were requisitioned, and the country's sturdy warships began to be deployed in the area of Nanpuxi and Songxi!

200,000 Qin troops marched from Oupu Yangba, and according to the expectations of the Minyue army, they came along the creek and set up camp near the source of Songxi in the north of Minyue country. Fusu did not rush to attack for a while, but sent a large number of scouts to infiltrate the border of Minyue under the leadership of Ouyue guides to sentry into the military situation!

The principle of 'intelligence first' has never been forgotten!

Within a few days, all kinds of information were gathered into the hands of Fusu, and with the help of his staff, the enemy situation gradually became clear, and Fusu convened the generals to hold a military meeting on the battlefield!

Fusu said with a solemn face: "According to intelligence, the Minyue Kingdom has mobilized almost all the main forces in the country, with about 30,000 people to deploy defenses on Nanpuxi, another 20,000 people to defend Songxi, and about 10,000 people to defend Chengcun City and Wangcheng!" It can be said that this person is really a talent, and his troop deployment and battle strategy are completely in line with the battle situation, and it is the best strategy to deal with the battle at present. Everyone, please look at the sand table!"

Fusu pointed to the terrain sand table that had just been formed, and said with admiration: "If our army advances southwest along Songxi, then it will be blocked by 30,000 Nanpuxi sailors on the bank of the Nanpu River, and the 20,000 Songxi sailors behind it can also harass our army behind them, and even go all the way north to attack our grain, grass, and baggage supply routes, and may even invade Minzhong County and attack our rear road." This kind of front and rear flanking attack is very vicious, and the widest point between Nanpuxi and Songxi is only more than 200 miles apart, our army's activity space is narrow, and the superiority of troops cannot be displayed, it is difficult to deal with this kind of troop arrangement of the Minyue people! Everyone, do you have any ideas?"

The generals also frowned when they heard this: In other words, after playing a game of cat and mouse with the Dongou people in the mountains and forests for a while, they are now going to start a large-scale water war with the Minyue people in the dense water network!

The Qin army is okay in terms of building bridges, and no country can surpass the Qin army in boat and bridge technology today, and the Qin army can also erect a pontoon bridge for the army to pass through in just one night. But will the Minyue Navy see that you can't build a bridge, and will definitely attack on a large scale and destroy the pontoon bridge, that is to say, if you don't annihilate the Minyue Navy first, everything else is not to be discussed!

And when it comes to water warfare, the Qin army is really a bit reluctant, many people can't even swim landlubbers, you expect them to fight and win on the water with the Minyue naval army, it's not as easy as counting on the toad to go up the tree! What's more, now that the Qin army doesn't have a few warships at all, we can't let the Qin army swim shirtless and the Minyue warships can't be carried hard! The Yue people have been good at water warfare since ancient times, and the shipbuilding technology is advanced, it is a strong water force, with the Qin army's fragile water ability, if you want to win, it is difficult to climb to the sky!

So, for a while, everyone didn't speak, and everyone had a hard time!

Li Xin hesitated a little and said, "Can you bypass Nanpuxi and go straight to the city?" Ren Huan shook his head and said, "General Li, please see, Nanpu Creek and Songxi converge in the south, forming a new big river - Jianxi!" The river is wider and more turbulent, and we can't get around it! And the city and village in the north, south, east of the three sides of the river block, the west is the tall and steep Wuyi Mountains, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is estimated that the Minyue people built the capital in the city and village, it is out of such security considerations! Under such circumstances, no matter where our army makes a detour, it will be effectively blocked by the Minyue army, and the logistics route will be greatly lengthened, and not only will it become a lonely army, but it will also be more difficult and dangerous to supply, and the gains will outweigh the losses!"

Everyone is a little blind this time, if you really want to fight a water war, it's difficult, it's even more difficult!

Fusu, who has always been resourceful, also ran out of ideas for a while this time, looked at Xiang Huan, and Ren Huan also shook his head. Fusu patted his forehead and said: "Don't worry, let's go south for the time being, anyway, we have long expected that the southern expedition will be a vicious battle, and there is no plan to end the war in the short term, for the time being, let's go deep into the territory of Minyue for 200 miles to explore the situation, if it is really unfavorable, then go back and find another way!" Whoa!"

There is no way for everyone to do it now, so let's be a dead horse and a live horse doctor!

So, early the next morning, 200,000 Qin troops advanced to the southwest, and after penetrating about 200 miles into the territory of Minyue, they stopped in a small town called Free Land!

At this time, when I heard that the Qin army was pressuring the border, the Minyue people who had left the town had already fled cleanly, that is, even the livestock were almost driven away, and only occasionally a few fish that slipped through the net were still wandering around the town, taking pictures with the Qin army from time to time. Of course, the fate of the face is also very simple, catch it to supplement the military stool!

At this time, the Qin army was one hundred and ten miles away from Nanpuxi in the west and only seventy miles away from Songxi in the east, and they were in a situation of being attacked on both sides!
