Chapter 110: Set up three cities to go north to the elephant land

After arranging the affairs of the three city lords, Lu Yan stretched out a little tiredly, and was about to go back to the room to rest, but Zhao Tuo followed from behind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Lu Yan looked at Zhao Tuo with some doubts, "Is there anything else to do with Duwei Zhao?" Zhao Tuo didn't speak, but motioned to come into the house to speak, it seemed that things were more secretive.

"General, is this a bit hasty? Only 2,000 Qin troops will be arranged in each city, and if we leave them at that time, it will not be a flank attack from front to back. Zhao Tuo finally said what he was thinking

Lu Yan didn't refute, just nodded, "Zhao Duwei is reasonable, Ziyu naturally has a way to arrange it, now that the three of them are in the city, I have secretly sent Lu Jing and Ren Huan." ”

"At the same time as arranging two thousand Qin troops, I also ordered them to ambush barbarians along the way, and each city lord recruited three thousand barbarian soldiers, so that they would take anything against it, and we would go to Xiangcheng after a while, these barbarians just led the way, wouldn't it be a double win this time." Lu Yan said quite confidently.

Zhao Tuo pondered it carefully, and also felt that it made sense, after such a swap, the barbarian soldiers in the city were greatly reduced, but the Qin army increased a lot.

"The general is wise, and he admires him to the extreme." Zhao Tuo said very sincerely.

Lu Yan yawned a little tiredly, "Captain Zhao, haven't the soldiers sent to Xianyang City to convey the message come back yet?" Lu Yan said instead.

"This is not yet, but Changsha County and Shu County have selected good generals and 20,000 soldiers, but without the order of King Qin, we cannot be mobilized." Zhao Tuo was a little helpless when he spoke.

It turned out that half a month ago, Zhao Tuo and Lu Yan had discussed how to attack Nanyue and Xiangcheng, Nanyue didn't talk about it for the time being, and now Lu Yan's army was already in the hinterland of Baiyue.

The location of Xiangcheng is between Changsha County and Shu County, so this time Lu Yan is ready to attack from three sides, and Xiangcheng is the second largest city in Baiyue, second only to Longchuan City in Nanyue, so Lu Yan has been prepared for a long time.

As long as Xiangcheng is taken, South Vietnam can be captured in one fell swoop, and Dongou naturally no longer talks, but Lu Yan feels that the troops are insufficient. So let the other two counties send troops.

"Since the messenger soldiers haven't come, let's temporarily settle the three cities in front of us, and by the way, see how the Qin people and barbarians live together." Lu Yan said with some curiosity.

The Northern City Lord lived in the ancient city for more than ten days, and although Lu Yan meant to be under house arrest, he treated them very respectfully, and it seemed a little reluctant.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Jing and Ren Huan rushed back from Guilin North and South City, Lu Yan was anxious, and immediately went out to greet them, and the faces of the two were not bad.

"How's it going?" Lu Yan asked directly without waiting for the two to get off the horse.

"Don't worry, general, everything is fine, and the recruitment of three thousand barbarians is going very smoothly, so the city lord can return to the city at this moment." Ren Huan's face was very proud, and Lu Jing also nodded on the side.

Hearing this answer, Lu Yan was still quite satisfied, and immediately asked his soldiers to invite the three city lords, and the hall also prepared a meal, not only for Ren Huan and the two to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but also to send the three city lords back to the city, as for the little chief, he still has to send him away, because the ancient city will not be handed over to him again.

"Now that the city lord has been here for a long time, the city may also be negligent, I think the two of them should also go back to the city to have a look, Ziyu wants to stay for a long time, but both of them are city lords, and the affairs of the city still need to be managed." Lu Yan said inadvertently between toasts.

When the lord of the northern city heard that he could leave, he was very happy in his heart, "Thank you for the general's hospitality these days, and I will not forget the general's great kindness after returning to the city." ”

"The city lord is polite, and this kind of harmony is also thanks to your knowledge of current affairs, and our Great Qin is not willing to kill, and after going back, I will ask the city lord to convince people with virtue and govern the people in the city more." Lu Yan said very meaningfully.

During the banquet, the northern city lord kowtowed many times, and it was not until noon that the three city lords said goodbye, and the little chief followed the northern city lord to Guibei City, after all, the southern city lord was not a reckless man, where could he be accommodated.

In the southern city, the southern city lord suddenly felt a little excited after going back, he didn't come back for a long time, he missed it very much in his heart, and he felt like he had returned to his hometown for many years.

However, when I looked closely, I always felt that something was wrong, and I didn't care much about it in my heart, and when I walked outside the city, I found that many of the guards were Qin army and barbarian army standing guard alternately.

In addition, the people in the city are also Qin people and barbarians walking with each other, and there seem to be more Qin people than barbarians, seeing this scene, the southern city lord just smiled.

"It turns out that the stay for many days is just to better familiarize the Qin people with the geography and customs here, General Lu is really well-intentioned and worthy of admiration, I only hope that the third brother and the eldest brother can understand it." The South City Lord said with some sighs.

However, the southern city lord was really worried, after the northern city lord went back, he admired General Lu's demeanor very much, he was not yet twenty years old, and he was so knowledgeable and reasonable, and it was really a blessing for him to entertain himself like this.

As for the Qin people in the city, Lu Yan also said that only two thousand people were transferred, and it was normal for Qin people to move around in the city, and he didn't have the slightest idea of opposing Qin in his heart, but thought that the Qin people were as humble as Lu Yan.

It was the little chief's face that was embarrassed along the way, but seeing that his eldest brother and second brother were so satisfied, even if there were more grievances, he had to swallow it in his stomach.

After nearly half a month, the affairs of the three cities of Guilin were finally successfully resolved, and Lu Yan didn't know how happy he was in his heart, although Zhao Tuo in Beicheng was ambushed and lost many soldiers last time.

Coupled with the 6,000 soldiers sent to garrison the city, and of course 9,000 soldiers recruited locally, there are still more than 35,000 soldiers left on Lu Yan's side, but the real Qin army is only more than 20,000 people.

There is nothing unusual about the Qin and barbarians living together in the three cities, it is very harmonious, and Lu Yan has been studying the book of war in the main hall since he was free.

Although it is a modern person, but back to ancient times, you must fight according to the method of cold weapons, and the book of war is the first point after all, and it seems to be more important than other books.

Just when Lu Yan was tirelessly studying, Zhao Tuo walked in happily with the edict in his hand, "What does the king say over there?" Lu Yan immediately dropped the military book and asked.

"The king said that in the land of Baiyue, the soldiers of the two counties are all up to General Lu." Zhao Tuo handed the edict to Lu Yan as he spoke, and looked at the small seal on it, it was Zhao Gao's handwriting, which should be true.

Lu Yan looked at it a few more times, and then ordered, "Zhao Duwei, go and call Ziwen and Ren Duwei, I have something important to discuss." Lu Yan said very cautiously.

Zhao Tuo naturally didn't dare to slack off, after so many days of getting along, Zhao Tuo also admired Lu Yan more and more, and in a moment, all three of them came to the study.

"Ziyu, does the king have any explanation?" Lu Jing asked very curiously, after arranging the affairs of the three cities, Lu Jing was also idle.

"The king didn't, I do." Lu Yan said and immediately spread out Baiyue's map.
