Chapter 91: Before the War
After the third shift late at night, ask for recommendations and rewards
"You say there is a large army of people in the east?" Ying Xu repeated in surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's true, Childe, this morning we found the worm running away, and followed its footsteps all the way to the east mountain. But the big insect still didn't find it, but he saw that there were many Yue people stationed on the plain under the mountain, and there were also royal banners without kings. The child didn't dare to look for it, so he could only retreat. Yu Ziqi said in frustration.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll tell Hei Bo about the big worm running away, you two did a good job today. Hurry up and eat the fish, or it will be gone in a while. After repeated confirmation, Ying Xu patted the two frightened teenagers and comforted.
It turned out that yesterday evening, the two teenagers tied the tiger to the magnet and went back to the cabin to sleep, but when they got up in the morning, they found that the tiger had bitten the rope and disappeared. The two of them searched up and down the boat for a long time without finding the tiger, and then went ashore to look for it, but found the tiger's wet paw prints. The two teenagers were annoyed, they knew that the tiger could bite the rope, but they didn't know that the tiger could swim. Originally, the two of them planned to fight the tiger who bit the rope on the boat in the morning, but they didn't think that they would swim away in the middle of the night and be too lazy to compete with him. Although the tiger eventually ran away, the news it brought was very important to Yingxu.
Ying Xu could imagine that if the news was accurate, the decisive battle between Fujian and Vietnam would most likely break out here, so he couldn't leave in a hurry. This will be the best time for him to observe the battle formation of this era, and it will also be an opportunity for him to accumulate combat achievements. Although before the great development of the south, it was completely a piece of chicken ribs for the Qin State, which had a population of less than 20 million, and it was a pity to abandon it if it was useless. But this also shows that the southern region will not be taken very seriously by the imperial court, and there is a lot of room for development, so that there is a chance for itself to show its strength. So for the sake of turf, this time I have to fight hard.
Now Zhao Zhao must not know this news, and the Yue people should not have noticed that the Qin army had discovered them. As long as the Qin army took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Yue people to attack it in one fell swoop, it would definitely be able to annihilate the entire army. Yingxu felt that it was no longer too late. Late will change.
The moon began to round, and the mountains and forests were still shrouded in darkness, and the sages of the previous life said that there was no road in this world, and there were many people walking, and it became a road. Ying Xu admires this sage very much, he is very right, today a road was born, although it is a little narrow, but it is very solid to walk on it. It's also very safe. Ying Xu led the guards and captives to the Ouren Village overnight. He wanted to bring about the early outbreak of this great war. Ying Xu knew that after this big battle, tens of thousands of people might lose their lives, since the result was the same. Why don't you add fuel to the fire and let the big war happen sooner. If you finish it early and clean it up early, in fact, you will invisibly save many innocent Yue people. After Yingxu convinced himself on the boat, he set off without hesitation.
The night was long, and the road was silent. After arriving at Ouren Village, Yingxu visited the former military supervisor Tong Cang overnight, although Tong Cang was a prison soldier, but he had been sick since the former army entered Fujian. After Ying Xu and the former army rounded, he went to visit him, this person is in his fifties, for the old scholar clan of the Qin Dynasty, he supported his seriously ill body and told Ying Xu, a junior a lot of the history of the Qin people. When Ying Xu was leaving, he also told Ying Xu, as a member of the Qin royal family, to lead by example, and not to lose the courage and determination of the old Qin people. This made Ying Xu feel the heroism and strength of the Qin people, and also made him believe that the Qin people were saved.
Tong Cang had already fallen asleep, but after hearing Ying Xu's request to see him, he still sat up with his body bold. Ying Xu hurriedly walked into Tong Cang's military tent and saw that Tong Cang, who had not been seen for two days, was even more seriously ill. His lips were chapped and frothed, and his complexion turned from pale to gray. He couldn't bear to disturb the old man, but how could he take it back if he had already taken this step. Just as Yingxu hesitated how to speak. I only heard Tong Cang sigh in a weak tone:
"Presumably there is nothing very important, Childe will not come to disturb my old fellow! Although the son said that it is, the old man supervised Zhao Zhaojun for His Majesty the Emperor, and he had the power of moderation. There is a responsibility of temporary supervision. Childe just told the truth. ”
"Which kid just said that the prison army should know that the kid is at odds with Zhao Zhao?" Ying Xu paused after speaking.
"Well, the old man has heard a little about this. You go on to say. ”
"Today, the boy's subordinates found the army of the Minyue King Wuzhu more than a hundred miles away." Ying Xu slowly said what he wanted at the end of his trip.
"This matter is correct, and Tong Cang is also surprised." I couldn't help but ask.
"Seriously! The kid checked it repeatedly and asked. Yingxu said affirmatively.
"There is no joke in the army!" Tong Cang suddenly stood up from the bed and stared at Ying Xu and asked.
"There is no joke in the army." Ying Xu repeatedly asked Yu Ziqi and Wu Jian. Yingxu believes that they will not lie to themselves.
"Okay, although the old man went to the big tent of the Chinese army?" Tong Cang said and picked up the sword hanging next to the bed, and pulled Yingxu out of the camp tent towards the Chinese army's tent.
More than 100 miles, it is said that it is not far away, and it can be reached in three or four hours by marching in a hurry. As long as Zhao Zhao recruits troops at this moment, he can surround Wuzhu early the next morning. Although the overnight march was full of dangers, there was still the moon, and it was impossible to have a war without taking a little risk. Now it depends on whether Zhao Zhaoxiang believes in Ying Xu and whether he dares to make this decision. If there is no distance to escape the next day, if you want to fight him again, you can only wait for the front army to reach Yeshan in Minyue. This will bring more variables and possibilities to the war.
Under Tong Cang's order, the snare drum in front of the Chinese army's big tent was slowly beaten, and the barracks began to be noisy, and Zhao Zhao was also awakened from his sleep. Listening to the slow sound of drums, he calmly asked someone to dress him and comb his sideburns. Then he called the captain on duty and asked who was beating the drum.
"Overseer, Tong Cang?" Zhao Zhao repeated suspiciously, what kind of madness did this dying person have at night, he just eliminated the Yue people who stole the camp in the morning, and after sleeping for a while, he was quarreled by this madman again, is it? Zhao Zhao was suddenly frightened by stepping on the tail of a rat, but when he saw his son Zhao Yan who was probing his brain, his beating heart was put down, his own affairs were only handled by Zhao Yan, as long as Zhao Yan was fine, he had no room for maneuver.
After scolding Zhao twice, Zhao Zhao walked out of the back tent quickly and came to the big tent, hey, why is Gongzi Xu here, isn't he leaving, Zhao Zhao first suppressed the doubts in his heart, and asked Tong Cang, who was sitting on the side of the desk:
"The prison army beat drums and gathered generals late at night, I don't know what?"
The other generals also looked curiously at the prison army, which had not shown up for more than three months, what would happen to the sudden drum gathering today, and some unreliable generals speculated that the prison army would not be able to return to the light. And today I brought Gongzi Xu to the military tent in order to temporarily appoint Gongzi Xu as the supervisor of the army. How did Tong Cang know that these two hundred and five generals would guess like this. After seeing all the generals gathered, he said loudly:
"A few days ago, the Japanese prison army arranged for the soldiers to investigate the movements of the Minyue Wang Wuzhu army, but the soldiers did not fail in their mission to find out that the Minyue Wang Wuzhu temporarily lived in a Yue village more than 100 miles away from here. But when the soldier returned, he lost his way and was attacked by a wild beast, and was fortunate to be rescued by Gongzi Xu, who is now seriously injured and in a coma, so Gongzi Xu reported the news to the old man overnight. Which former general thinks what to do now"
Zhao Zhao actually wanted to fight the Yue people very much, but if the news was brought by Gongzi Xu, he didn't mind pressuring Ying Xu to bet on his head to ensure the accuracy of the news. Since it was the news brought by the people who supervised the army, then this news was much more reliable, and I couldn't imagine that this old immortal still had this trick. It's a pity to let Gongzi Xu participate in this decisive battle, and let him get the credit of the third level in vain. In the end, Zhao Zhao pressed his displeasure, and asked in detail about the situation of Yingxu Minyue Wang Wuzhu's garrison and the surrounding terrain characteristics, and hesitated for a long time before ordering:
