The land of Baiyue is more prosperous in modern times, and it belongs to the part of Guangdong that is now on the edge of the coast, but before the pre-Qin period, it was simply a barbaric place, and no one cared about it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But there are still people there, and there is a boss, and the name of the boss is very domineering, it seems to be called the chief of the Xiou Tribal Alliance of the Baiyue tribe, referred to as Yihu Song.

Although there is no advanced Central Plains culture, the internal culture is very united, the language is different, and there is obvious resistance to outsiders, and General Tu Ju was killed by them in the first place.

It is said that this slaughter is also self-deprecating, everyone has surrendered, you still pretend to be a grandfather, kill all day long, and it is natural to be killed.

Now Lu Yan's troops have moved from Changsha County to the edge of Baiyue, and some of the materials are fully prepared, in the camp tent, Lu Yan is sitting on guard, and the rest are sitting in Hu Hai, Zhao Tuo, Ren Huan, and Lu Jing.

"Duwei Zhao and Duwei Ren have both been to Baiyue, so you two think you can negotiate peace first, and then make plans." Lu Yan spoke first.

Zhao Tuo immediately got up, "This may not work, they have never worked with my Great Qin, they can only send troops to attack, and the last time General Tu Ju slaughtered the Baiyue barbarians, it also made them not trust the Great Qin soldiers very much." ”

Lu Yan also felt reasonable, "Do you know where they live?" Lu Yan then asked.

"Baiyue is vast, there are three barbarian residences, the south is where the alliance chieftain Yihu Song is located, and the rest is the barren land in the center and above Baiyue, and there are many people along the coast, and there are more than tens of thousands of people in the middle and above." Ren Huan said very seriously, and the forces of the two sides are also relatively balanced.

However, the Baiyue barbarians made good use of poisonous arrows, and designed traps, which also caused the Qin people to suffer a lot of losses, the most important thing was the Baiyue jungle, and the soldiers were prone to pestilence.

On this trip, Lu Yan specially brought more than 100 people who were proficient in medical skills in Xianyang to develop medicines in case of accidents, and the path behind the village where Wang Ling was located was also the only road to Baiyue.

After discussing for many hours, Lu Yan also had a preliminary battle plan, "Ren Huan, you first lead more than 100 soldiers to explore the way, and we will make a slight adjustment again." ”

After all, Ren Huan is old and steady, Lu Yan is still relatively relieved, and Ren Huan is not ambiguous, so he immediately took the order, went down to select people, and prepared to set off on a certain day.

Lu Yan was cautious and did not dare to take any offense, and the next day Ren Huan led the soldiers and horses of the previous headquarters to advance towards the Baiyue.

It took nearly half a day for Ren Huan to walk out of the jungle, but there was a swamp in front of him, and Ren Huan had to use a wooden stick to walk over very carefully.

As for the horses first placed in the jungle, and beyond the swamp, there was a hill in front of him, and Ren Huan wiped the sweat from his face, rested for a while in the middle of the mountainside, and continued to walk towards the hill.

As soon as you reach the top of the hill, you can see fireworks coming out, and it turns out that the bottom of the hill is not a plain, but it is also a nice place, and there are many houses in it.

The most important thing is that these uncivilized people can also breed herds, which is also very good, Ren Huan carefully observed, and found that there was a city not far away, which should be the first stronghold of the barbarians.

Moreover, there are no residents on the other side of the city, but judging from Ren Huan's many years of experience in marching, even if there are wooden and thatched houses, even if the barbarians do not understand the art of war, it is impossible to build two cities in the same place.

Ren Huan took a look at the residents, and it was almost the same as what he saw a few years ago, his skin was slightly coppery, which was a little different from that of the Qin soldiers, and the most important thing in his clothes was animal skin.

Some of the linen clothes they wore were left by General Tu Ju last time, and after many years, I didn't expect this group of barbarians to still use them, which is really a bit economical.

At night, Ren Huan crossed the swamp, slept in the jungle for a night, and the next morning, hurried back to the barracks.

There are hills and swamps, it is really difficult to enter the army, and the only place where troops can be stationed is the jungle area outside the swamp, as long as you send people to guard the hillside, you can be foolproof.

In the tent, Lu Yan sat a little sadly, fighting was really not a joke, looking at the map in front of him, Lu Yan only felt a little headache.

"There are 30,000 soldiers stationed in the jungle here, and all the archers and horsemen are on both sides of the swamp, and I don't know what is going on behind this ancient city, it's really big." Lu Yan said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Hu Hai also ran in from outside, Lu Yan thought about it a lot, but he knew that he was dragged over by Hu Hai to drink again, he was really lazy, and only after Hu Hai was arranged, Lu Yan came back from the tent.

Zhao Tuo and the three of them have been waiting in the camp for a long time, "The relationship between the general and the prince of Hu Hai is really good, no matter when the prince does not forget the general." Ren Huan said a little jokingly.

Lu Yan just waved his hand, "Gongzi Hu Hai is still young, just take care of it." Then he came back to the wooden table.

"I wonder what you guys think of this map?" Lu Yan immediately pointed to the map on the table and said, it's time to get down to business, now that he has been on the expedition for more than two months, he hasn't fought a battle with the Baiyue barbarians.

"Ziyu, I think I will settle down in the jungle, use the trees as cover, quietly advance, bypass the hills, and capture the city in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, these residents on the periphery will be defeated." Lu Jing got up first and said.

Lu Yan looked at Ren Huan and the two again, "I don't think this plan works, I am not familiar with the ancient city, if there are ravines and swamps in the blind army, it will be difficult for the whole army to escape." Zhao Tuo immediately pointed out the problem and said.

"Everyone, rest easy, I think that first settle 30,000 horses in the jungle to familiarize yourself with the environment, another 10,000, on both sides of the swamp, 5,000 Qin troops from each department below the hills, and then send people to inspect the valley is the most appropriate, this is the headquarters of the soldiers and horses to explore the way forward, and if you can see the opportunity to catch a few barbarians back and ask about the situation, it is the best." Lu Yan said slowly.

The three of them also nodded in agreement, only by moving forward slowly like this, there would be no incident, Lu Yan did not panic, and first sent a thousand soldiers and horses to clean up the jungle, and the row of trees in front of him was not pulled out for the time being, as a cover.

In addition, Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan led 5,000 soldiers and horses across the swamp and set up camp under the hill to explore other trails or where the barbarians lived.

As for Lu Yan, he was completely Hu Hai's personal butler, because he was in the depths of the jungle, Lu Yan didn't dare to slack off, and the fifty crossbowmen didn't dare to leave his body, so as not to be injured by any wild animal.

All the baggage and luggage are carefully placed, just so as not to startle the snake, just one day, all the things are arranged properly.

In addition, all the trees cut down were tied with hemp rope and thrown into the swamp, and there was no danger in three or five people walking together.
