Tu Sui died in the south as the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the Southern Expedition army was unstable, and all other roads were not slow, and the first emperor was also extremely angry, so the Eastern Tour stopped at Huiji. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the evening, the light cavalry outside the Huiji County Shoufu patrols, the black-clothed armor is lined up, the officials and sergeants who come in and out are all dignified, the shape is in a hurry, the first emperor is sitting on the case in the central official office of the county guard, there are four bamboo slips piled up on the desk, the first emperor is still holding a piece of bamboo slips in his hand, and he is looking through it carefully at the moment. The other ministers sat on either side. An old man on the left hand has a thin face, and the prime minister Feng Qujian on the right, and a young man on the right is a burly man, with black pants and a shirt with armor, but the high crown is a little messy, sitting cross-legged but straight, and several generals behind him are all in bloody armor, and their faces are haggard but resolute.

At this moment, the hall was extremely quiet, obviously they had been talking for a while, and now the ministers in the hall were bowing their heads in contemplation, some were closing their eyes and recuperating, and some of the petty officials were looking at each other, and several sergeants led by black clothes were looking at the first emperor with a frown on their faces.

"Tu Sui died, how many troops did the Yue people occupy in Nanye?" The First Emperor stared at the bamboo slip and asked.

"Nanye is now gathering about 100,000 Yue people, led by Jijun!" Zhao Tuo hurriedly replied.

"The weather in South Vietnam is hot and humid, and the miasma is rampant, and your troops can fight in Yugan (now Yugan, Jiangxi)?"

"The last general is incompetent, after being stationed in Yugan Realm, the sergeants have many fevers, and the soldiers have been seriously reduced, and now the number of combatants is about 70,000 people, but it can be directly approached by Nanye to defeat the Jun!" The young generals at the head replied loudly to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor turned his head to Feng Quji on the side and asked: "From Yugan to Nanye, it is about 500 miles (Qin uses "Yin" to use it very inconveniently here), along the way there are dense jungles, ravines and ravines, and the water network is dense, how many people do you need to ensure the military food of more than 70,000 people?" ”

Feng Qu thought for a moment before replying: "30,000 people build bridges and pave roads, 10,000 people to guard, 40,000 people to transport food and their ordnance, about 80,000 people can ensure that the army is worry-free." ”

The First Emperor shook his head, and asked Feng Qujian again without knowing what he meant, "What about from Changsha?" ”

"The road from Changsha to Nanye is smooth, and 40,000 people are enough to transport grain, but Nanye has been lost, and the road from Changsha to Nanye may have been occupied by the Yue, and the grain transportation route may be attacked by the Yue!"

"Wait a minute, stand down! Prime Minister Feng and Zhao Tuo stayed," the First Emperor waved his hand and said.

After everyone had retreated, the First Emperor beckoned Zhao Gao to take the map of South Vietnam and put it on the table, staring at the map with his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes turned to Zhao Tuo and asked.

"Zhao Tuo, I asked you why the slaughter of 100,000 troops could not defeat tens of thousands of Yue people?"

"His Majesty the Emperor Qiyu, since the Xiou Kingdom Emperor translated the Song Dynasty was killed by our army, the South Vietnamese pushed the Jun as a general, this person is cunning and unreasonable to arrange the troops, mostly to attack and harass, sneak attack on the small part of our army, the army to the side hidden in the deep forest, the army retreats and waits for the opportunity to intrude on our army. General Tu Sui was also killed by Jijun when he was in the Sanluo region. Zhao Tuo said sadly.

"The jungle is dense and the terrain is complex, and the tactics of the Yue people are very difficult to deal with with such a blow!" Feng Quji also sighed on the side.

"Zhao Tuo, do you have any good ideas? Dealing with the Yue people? The First Emperor stared at Zhao Tuo and asked again.

"Slaughtering is not a good policy, but dividing and attracting some indigenous Yue people, once the more you control it, it is possible to pacify Nanyue, Minyue, Xiou and other places!"

"This strategy can be more and more flat, and it is rare to get more and more! It is feasible for the time being, tomorrow you will return to Yu Gan to lead the army Xu Jinnanye, and Prime Minister Feng Cheng will temporarily supervise Yu Gan's Liang and implement Zhao Tuo's strategy! ”

The first emperor Yu Feng Qujian and Zhao Tuo discussed the matter of Nanye's march for a long time, and only let the two of them leave when it was time. The First Emperor watched the two of them salute and leave, and said to himself:

"The population of Dongyue, Nanyue, Minyue, and Xiou is less than 500,000, but they occupy such a fertile and fertile land, although there is a miasma, but it must be a country of abundance to be reclaimed, and I should take it to the people!"

Zhao Gao had been with the First Emperor for many years, so he naturally understood his habits, so he did not answer. At this time, the first emperor said, "Ren Huan's attack on Lingnan was defeated four years ago."

"His Majesty the Emperor remembers it well, it is that four years ago, he was defeated by the Song Dynasty by attacking Xiou from Nanjun, losing more than 5,000 soldiers, and His Majesty the Emperor dismissed him from the position of the governor of Langya County." Zhao Gao said cautiously.

"Zhao Gao intends to order" that the governor of Langya County will go south to meet the emperor on the same day! ””

"The edict ordered Prime Minister Zuo Li Si to survey the population around Xianyang"

"The edict orders all counties to exile the prisoners to Yu Gan!"

"The edict ordered Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong) and the army to withdraw to the west of Huiji County!"

The yamen of the county government gradually calmed down after a series of edicts were transmitted, and the night slowly poured into every place where there was no light, and the central government office was gradually occupied by the night until the ugly time.

Ying Xu and the others went all the way south to meet Wang Xin and others at the border of Jiujiang County. After the rendezvous, everyone went south non-stop. Ying Xu also took the time to learn about Baiyue's situation with Han Sui, Xiao He and others

It turns out that "the Nanyue are a relatively backward ethnic group with their own culture. They are not the same ethnic group, but a lot of tribes inhabited by the formation, mainly distributed in the Pearl River basin and the Hanjiang River basin, by the Central Plains culture is also very obvious influence in the Qin period, the southeast coastal area is called the land of Baiyue, the ethnic minorities living here in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are called? Because of its many branches, it is called Baiyue. Baiyue is roughly divided into several parts, such as Dongyue (also known as Dongyue or Ouyue), Minyue, Nanyue, and Xiou. Dongyue lived in the Oujiang River basin, centered on the area of present-day Wenzhou; Minyue's sphere of influence was centered in present-day Fuzhou; Nanyue was found in the southern, northern, and western parts of present-day Guangdong; Xi'ou was active in the southern part of present-day Guangxi. The area where Baiyue lived, the climate was mild, the rain was abundant, the products were abundant, and the territory was vast, but because it was blocked by mountains and rivers, it was far away from the Central Plains, and they still lived a quite primitive life in the Qin Dynasty, and the development of society was far behind that of the Central Plains. ”

Ying Xu also saw from a classic book: "The Nanyue people and their ancestors had contacts with the Huaxia people in the Central Plains as early as the Yaoshun era. "The Legend of the Great Dai Li: Shaojian Chapter" cloud: "Yu Shun is the heir of heaven and virtue,...... Nanfu Jiaozhi". In the Book of Yi Zhou, Wang Hui Jie, it is mentioned that the "沤 (Ou) Shen" and "Yue 沤" with broken hair tattoos in the east of the Shang Dynasty paid tribute to the Shang king with fish products and sharp swords. This refers to the Yue people in the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Eastern Zhou. Among them, there are "Zhengnan Ou, Deng, Guiguo...... with pearls, tortoiseshells, ivory ...... **** as offerings. The "Ou" and "Gui" people should refer to the Nanyue, Xiou and Luoyue people in the Lingnan region. ”

Through chatting with Wang Xinde, Yingxu learned that "the diet of the South Vietnamese people is mainly fish, shrimp, river clams, cockles, ear snails, turtles, turtles, shellfish and other aquatic products, cattle, domestic pigs, goats, chickens, snakes, finch, frogs, etc. They lived in nests, burrows, and cultivated grains, and they produced jade, ivory, and the first emperor and the princes and ministers of the court were very fond of it.
