Three years of the First Emperor!

On September 25, the first emperor worshiped Ren Huan as the commander, Shi Lu transferred his salary, and was in charge of the Baiyue War, with more than 300,000 troops under his jurisdiction, including Rongcheng, Jiuji, Yugan Zhao Tuo, Panyu Army, and Wang Xinbu.

On the 25th, Zhao Tuo went down to the south field, and the jun fled without a fight, and Zhao Tuo gathered more than 7,000 remnants of Tu Sui, and Tu Sui's army was killed.

On the 26th, Ren Huan set up a marshal's mansion in the city of Huiji, placed generals, and gathered soldiers.

On the 28th, the Panyu army crossed the southern foot of Zhengping Mountain, and was besieged by the tribal coalition led by the king of Minyue, and fought hard for three days, and it was difficult to break through.

On the Lingnan battlefield, thousands of people are killed or injured every day.

"At the beginning of October, the seventh president gathered 150,000 troops to enter Fujian and march west."

Ying Xu, who returned from Lingnan, listened to the military newspaper read by Zhang Feng, and his mind was a little confused, the history of his previous life was that Ren Huan went south from Jiu Xuan to dig the Ling Canal, and surrendered to Wu Zhu after killing Baiyue and killing Jijun.

But now, judging from the military report, it seems that it is necessary to surrender Wuzhu first, and march west to exterminate the Jun. What went wrong? Yingxu was puzzled.

It is said that Wang Xin has been marching all the way, invincible, invincible, and has seized countless jade jewelry. But these days Wang Xin is worried, more and more things are seized, although the caravan behind the back of the horse carried away a lot but the rest is more, and seeing that the caravan brought less and less pottery, silk brocade, grain, if you can't exchange goods with the Yue people, close the relationship to drive it, how to fight the battle behind, and how to use these seizures out of Fujian, these have become Wang Xin's big things.

When he set out on the expedition, Wang Xin didn't expect his march to be so smooth, and now it is impossible to retreat deep into Fujian, so he can only march by sea as much as possible as agreed with Yingxu.

Who is most familiar with Lingnan in this era, it must be Yingxu, Yingxu was born in Lingnan in his previous life, grew up in Lingnan, Yingxu in his previous life especially liked to fantasize about leading troops to fight when he was a child, and when he was okay during the winter and summer vacations, he regarded himself as a general who led thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield. I didn't think that he would be able to realize his dream in this life and return to his hometown again.

The topography of Minyue is peculiar, the peaks and mountains are towering, the hills are continuous, the river valleys and basins are interspersed, the mountains and hills account for more than eight-tenths of the total area, and it is known as "eight mountains, one water and one field". The terrain is generally high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the cross section is slightly saddle-shaped. The western Fujian mountain belt and the central Fujian mountain belt are just the top of the saddle. In the middle of the saddle there are interconnected river valleys and basins, and the eastern coast is hills, terraces and coastal plains.

On the fifth day from the day Wang Xin set out on the expedition, when Wang Xin watched Zhang Hu, Han Sui and others take out the last batch of silk brocade and a little bit of corn valley in exchange for large boxes of pearls from the Yue people wearing animal skins, Wang Xin really wanted to throw these greedy guys into the sea. If there is no food, I will see what you will eat in the future, fortunately, I have been collecting grain and grass according to Childe's instructions, and it seems that I will have to raise these soil buns for Childe in the future.

Perhaps the heavens sensed Wang Xin's psychological scolding, and when the army entered a high-lying village and town that he had just occupied, Wang Xin saw that many ships appeared on the seashore, large and small, including the ships of the Qin army and the navy, adding up to no less than forty or fifty!

Since Wang Xin marched by sea, Ying Xu took the collected ships loaded with food and ordnance, as well as silk brocade valley to the sea after facing the emperor, Ying Xu did not let the fleet sail far from the coastline, but under the leadership of fishermen who were familiar with the Lingnan waters, they kept moving along the coastline. Unexpectedly, I saw the military flag of the Qin army today. So I leaned over.

Ying Xu took a small boat to the shore first, planning to find a coast with a deep draft and a solid shore foundation as a temporary wharf to use. Also disembarking with Yingxu were Xiao He, Toe and the son of the county guard Yintong.

It is said that after Yingxu sent Zhang Hu, Han Sui and others that day, he took Xiao He to the temporary county guard yamen of Huiji County under the escort of Bai Lin and others, because the previous county guard mansion had been occupied by the first emperor.

The temporary county guard yamen is not difficult to find, but in a large mansion in the southeast of Huiji City, the house used to be the residence of Wu Yue period, Yue Wang Goujian has not yet dominated the period, the house looks quite big, but it is very dilapidated and messy, it may be in disrepair, grass grows everywhere on the wall, the gate of the yamen has a lot of paint off, and the gate is as ugly as psoriasis.

Ying Xu just walked to the yamen, but found two groups of teenagers in brocade clothes coming from the other side, and the two groups of teenagers were really attached to each other. Yingxu has always respected the old and loved the young, not to mention being polite to pedestrians, and planned to wait for this group of people to go in. Unexpectedly, these two groups of teenagers stood at the door and began to abuse each other.

I only heard the thin young man say: "Ying's surname is Zhao, Ying's surname is Qin's people who rule the world, and your Zhao family now has no land and no land, and you have obtained your current status by virtue of the royal family's same lineage, shameless and brave, but complacent, sad-sad-sad!"

The young man who was said shouted arrogantly: "The remnants of the destruction of the country, the Dongyi barbarians, do you know the difference between the noble and the low, how can you talk about the surname Zhao?" And the west house is my father's residence when he was the lieutenant of Huiji County, and now my father is the deputy marshal of the expedition, so why not use the West Ya as a temporary post station?

The thin young man laughed when he heard this: "The emperor has not spoken, and the Qin law has not been banned, why can't it be said?" And your father has fought more than a dozen battles since the beginning of the hundred Yue, bravely moving forward, trapping the enemy camp, killing the Yue people, and forgetting to die, how do you know that there is an unfilial descendant of you, monopolizing the West Mansion and acting recklessly, don't you know what Qin Law is? At the end of the day, the young man shouted.

Ying Xu knew that after the first emperor destroyed the Zhao State, he sent the acting king Zhao Jia to Xirong to guard the tomb of the ancestors, and the surname Zhao then moved to Gansu. Generally speaking, they all belong to the Zhao family, but the Zhao family comes from the surname Ying, so it can be said that the surname Ying is the main lineage of the Zhao family, the surname Zhao of the Zhao family is the side branch of the surname Ying, and the Zhao family is the clan of the Qin Dynasty. Why should these two groups of children quarrel about things that can be done?

The two young people didn't talk speculatively, and the two groups of young people also scolded each other, and they didn't know who threw something and hit each other, and a group of young people fought privately at the gate of the county guard.

Just let out the door, Ying Xu leisurely walked in with Xiao He, Bai Lin and others, Xiao He looked sideways at the group of young people who were in full swing and shook his head silently. He obviously saw that the one and a half taels that Ying Xu was playing with had disappeared just now.

The yamen is not very big, Yingxu used the jade plate to meet Yin Tong, the lord of Huiji County, Yin Tong is about forty years old, and his figure is thin, but fortunately, he is good at talking, and Yingxu handled the business post according to Qin Law, and Yin Tong immediately gave Yingxu a seal.

As soon as he happily got the business post, Yingxu saw a young man with messy clothes but elated walking in from outside the door.

I only heard the young man say: "Father, I taught Zhao Yuan a hard lesson today, and my mother will ...... in a few days lived. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, don't you see Xu Gongzi yet?" Yin Tong interrupted the young man.

Ying Xu saw that the child in front of him was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his figure was a little thin, but he was full of anger when he spoke, and the young man saluted Ying Xu and said:

"Boy Yin An, see Childe!"

"Yingxu, you're polite!" Ying Xu wrote.

"Childe is very polite!" Yin Tong apologized on the side.

"Haha, don't blame many people! What Yin An said just now, the county guard might as well talk about it. Yin An added! ”

Through Yin Tong's telling, Ying Xu learned why the two groups of teenagers clashed, it turned out that Zhao Tuo was the county lieutenant of Huiji County, working in the West Yamen, and his family lived in the West Mansion behind the West Ya, after Zhao Tuo was transferred to conquer Yue, the West Ya and the West House should have been left to the next Huiji County Lieutenant, but because the first emperor ordered Yin Tong to comprehend the county lieutenant of Ji County, so the West Ya was empty. Therefore, Yin Tong's son hoped that Zhao Tuo's family could let Xiya out and move to a manor outside the city, so that his parents and siblings could live in it and avoid the cold. But I didn't think that the rest of the Zhao family had moved away, and the Zhao Yuan who was left behind was a scoundrel who didn't eat oil and salt. Dead or alive will not move. The two parties were arguing for Yin Tong's reasoning, but they didn't want to fight at the yamen, Zhao Yuan was defeated and was held by Yin An, and just now he promised to move out of the west house tomorrow.

After hearing this, Ying Xu thought to himself that the wicked still have to grind the wicked, and there have been people who stand in a position and do nothing. Yin Tong asked Yin An to accompany Yingxu to familiarize himself with Huiji City. But when Ying Xu was just about to walk out of the yamen with Yin An. Zhang Feng, who was at the post station, hurriedly ran to tell Emperor Yingxu that he wanted to summon him.
