Chapter 453: Repeating the Old Trick

Yang Fu and his 3,000 vanguard troops, few escaped.

Everything was planned by Zhao Hu.

In the middle of the mountains, the reason why the guide asked Yang Fu to leave the war horse was because there were their ambushes in that place.

Not long after Yang servants and the others passed, the 500 people who were left to guard the war horses were killed by the ambush soldiers. The war horses were also unceremoniously taken away by these barbarians in Lingnan.

As for the snakes and various poisonous insects encountered by Yang Fu, they were all arranged by the Lingnan people.

Mental calculation without intention. Ambush unfamiliar Han troops with familiar terrain. Even if they were all armed with flintlock pistols, they would not be able to withstand such a war.

Yang Servant died unjustly. Fortunately, he only took three thousand pioneers.

The remaining 7,000 people, without guides, stayed outside the mountains.

In this battle, the popularity of the people in Lingnan increased greatly. They have always respected the Han Dynasty as ghosts and gods, but now, there is nothing they can do.

Greeting and greeting, sending messages to each other to celebrate the victory.

The Han Dynasty was silent.

Three days later, Yan Ming's army encountered a Han sergeant who had escaped from the mountains.

"Dead, all dead!" The Han army said bitterly, his eyes hooked.

"How did you die? Elaborate? Yan Ming asked, grabbing the hem of his clothes that had been scratched by the branches and leaves of the primeval forest.

The sergeant's shoulders were hot and his shoulders were hot, apparently with a fever all over his body.

He looked at Yan Ming, but his eyes were very loose, and he muttered: "The general is dead, and the brothers are dead." There are snakes everywhere, they are poisonous insects, the guides are gone, the enemy is coming......"

"The guide is gone, the enemy is coming-" The Han army saw the large army, and his tense spirit relaxed, and the venom of several poisonous insects on his body finally could no longer be suppressed, and his head tilted and fell to the ground.

Yan Ming looked at the dead Han army, tears rolling in his eyes.

Counting the two thousand people of Zhuang Zhu, plus the three thousand people of Yang Servant. Now, in the riots in Lingnan, 5,000 people have been lost.

The sons and daughters of the 5,000 Great Men. Which one was not raised by his mother's biological parents!

Now Yan Ming hates war. These Han soldiers and Han people, strictly speaking, are the ancestors of later generations. Now in the midst of the battle, a large number of deaths.

"Lingnan!" Yan Ming's eyes were deep, and he was analyzing.

"Order, stop marching. All armies stopped marching. The 7,000 people of the Yang Servant Department were merged into our department. Set up camp here. Yan Ming said.

The army stopped.

The people of Lingnan did not expect that the Han army only suffered two defeats before they began to dare not advance.

"Why did you stop marching?" Tang Meng ran over, Xun Yu also came to inquire, and the chariot rider came, but he didn't speak, and his eyes were also to inquire again.

These three people, except for Che Qihou, the other two people all hope to follow Yan Ming to win the Baiyue Zhubu in one fell swoop. Successful.

After all, 50,000 people to attack the Baiyue region is indeed more than enough.

But when the morale of the Han army was high, Yan Ming asked everyone to stop marching.

"No reason, soldier, just follow orders." Yan Ming didn't explain too much. He is the main general, and he has to control the advance and retreat.

Tang Meng is strictly speaking, a civilian official, and it is good to be able to get a piece of the pie in war, and it is good not to fight.

Xun Yu followed Yan Ming from birth to death in Manchester City, so naturally he would not oppose him. As for the Che Qi Hou, he is already a hereditary Hou Ye, and he will not have to be as brave as Yang Fu. Is it possible to earn yourself a prince?

In this way, the Han army was on the north side of the 100,000 mountain range. And Baiyue's coalition forces were ambushed in the mountains, confronting the Han army.

Yan Ming went to the book overnight and reported his thoughts to Liu Che.

The current Baiyue region is well prepared to oppose the attack of the Han Dynasty. If it's a strong attack, it will naturally be able to attack down.

It's just that this kind of loss of troops is not in the interests of the Han Dynasty. The Art of War says that a soldier who surrenders without a fight is also a good man.

Yan Ming truthfully told the situation of Yang Fu's defeat and death of 3,000 sergeants in the song, and at the same time stated his two sets of plans. One is to deal with Baiyue in the same way as the Xiongnu.

The matter of Minyue and South Vietnam joining forces has been revealed.

Since the two groups of people are united for the sake of interests, when the external pressure is gone, and all that remains is the redistribution of interests, it is the time for them to fight internally.

Yan Ming suggested that Liu Che follow this logic and wait for Minyue and Nanyue to turn their faces before liquidating. Now, it is better to pretend to be deaf and dumb, ignore them, and even fan the flames to provoke them into internal strife.

Another way is to storm the Baiyue area.

Nearly 50,000 elite Han elites, if they attack the Baiyue area with all their might, I believe that it will take a year and a half to subdue this place.

Yan Ming made it clear that he preferred the first method.

When Liu Che saw Yan Ming's performance, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

The small Baiyue area is so difficult.

But after calming down, Liu Che still felt that Yan Ming's first way was good.

If it was usual, Liu Che would naturally not agree to the first method.

But now, the Han Dynasty is enjoying the war dividends of the Xiongnu. It was only a few months, and the Xiongnu's Yi Zhiyi and Yu Shan both purchased a large number of supplies from the Han Dynasty and used them in the war of attrition.

In the war of the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty not only did not lose its soldiers, but also made a windfall.

If you want to concoct the Baiyue region in the same way, Liu Che also agrees.

Yan Ming's recital also has a bold proposal. Development of Southwest Yi.

The Han Dynasty in history originally developed the Southwest Yi. It just didn't go well at first.

The development proposed by Yan Ming is a large-scale development. First of all, it is necessary to develop the Han Dynasty, and build steel rails on the basis of the old gallop road in the Qin State.

He believed that the time for his steam engine to be built was not far off. Once you have a steam engine, it's not difficult to build a simple car that resembles a train.

Nowadays, you can't make some tires and stuff like that from oil, but you can build railroads with railroad tracks.

Once the Southwest Yi is successfully developed, then the route to the Baiyue area will be opened, and the attack on Baiyue will no longer need to pass through the swamp and poisonous miasma-ridden mountains, and it will be completely possible to take the Southwest Yi and directly kill the Baiyue area.

By that time, the loss of the Baiyue Civil War was also seven or eight out of ten, and it was the harvest season of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che and Yan Ming almost hit it off on this point of view.

Yan Ming ordered Che Qihou and Xun Yu to lead 20,000 horses and garrison them on the edge of the 100,000 mountain range. He even applied to Liu Che to mobilize Lao Xu's construction team to build several cities similar to those in the clouds in the southern border to facilitate defense.

In this way, it is equivalent to trapping Baiyue in the middle of 100,000 mountains, and there is no chance to come out.

When Liu Che agreed to all these operations of Yan Ming, half a month had passed.

In the past half a month, Yan Ming has not been idle. He began to plant people to spread rumors in the Baiyue region.

(Unconsciously, a million words, thank you for your unwavering support, thank you!! )
