Chapter Seventy-Eight: Training

Dongou King was a relatively large indigenous kingdom in the southeast of the empire. Originally a descendant of the Yue Kingdom. However, the national strength of the Yue State was weak, and after the national strength reached its peak, it quickly declined, and was finally annexed by the Chu State. After the destruction of the country, a side branch of the Yue royal family led the tribe south and re-established the dynasty in the southeast. Of course, the new dynasty naturally cannot be compared with the previous Yue Kingdom, and it lives in the southeast wilderness, far away from the Central Plains Warring States, and the Qin State still did not know the existence of this dynasty for a period of time before the destruction of the Chu State.

However, Dongou submitted to the Chu State, so after the Qin people destroyed Chu, they had to get some information about Dongou from the royal family of the Chu State, and found that although Dongou was small, the land was huge and rich in products, so the King of Qin germinated the idea of conquering Dongou at that time. However, according to the established national policy, the Qin State still followed the policy of destroying the Six Kingdoms first, temporarily ignoring the southern lands, and only sent spies and scouts to explore the terrain and indigenous kingdoms in the south, and quietly built a lot of military transportation roads to the south for this purpose. It was precisely because of the preparations in the early stage that after the empire issued the order to send troops at the end of last year, the army was quickly mobilized and attacked from all sides.

Listening to Meng Yi's domineering words. Chen Sheng smiled bitterly. This grain will inevitably be consumed when it is transported to Donou, and if it cannot be quickly conquered, then this grain will also be consumed by the Dongou army and civilians.

Meng Yi naturally knew this truth, he said: "Zhao Tuo's document said that he is planning to attack a pass held by the barbarians, and if he breaks through that pass, there will be no danger to defend hundreds of miles to the southeast, and our army can sweep through the southeast like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, so I decided to lead two hundred janissaries to join it and do my part for the army to break through to Dongou as soon as possible." After speaking, his eyes suddenly looked at Chen Sheng. A smile can be raised.

Chen Sheng secretly said a sinister voice in his heart. In Meng Yi's smile, it was clear that he took the initiative to ask for battle. But Meng Yi can't be blamed for this. Who made him perform too prominently in the battle of infiltrating Zhang Liang's cottage before, single-handedly turning hundreds of people in the whole battalion, and also fished out Ling Suyun without danger. Meng Yi thought to himself that he was both wise and brave, but he also thought that in that kind of environment, it was not easy to be able to retreat with his whole body, and it was even more impossible to rescue a person.

But Chen Sheng didn't want to fight on the battlefield because of the conversation with Ling Suyun, if there was really any accident, then his full ambition would be empty. The ideal way to realize your ambitions is to become an official in the DPRK, and then slowly use your abilities.

Looking at Meng Yi's hot eyes, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly, and pretended to be confused: "The Praetorian Guards are all heavy cavalry, in the southeast, the terrain is complicated, and the march is inconvenient, I am afraid it will be difficult to play a major role. ”

Meng Yi nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, I know this." The Praetorian Guard is the best cavalry when they are on horseback, and the best infantry on the ground. However, although the Praetorian Guard is brave and good at fighting, it still has a huge shortcoming, that is, it is not good at night fighting. It's not as nimble as you can assault a bandit camp. Therefore, I hope that you will teach them to lead us in a surprise attack on the enemy's defenses, and if we succeed, we can reduce the casualties of at least two thousand soldiers, and allow the army to advance quickly, so that the fighting in the southeast can be quelled within this year. ”

Hearing this, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly. Meng Yi has talked about this, can he still refuse? Fusu also looked at him with an eager face, and when Chen Sheng turned his gaze to Ling Suyun, Ling Suyun's eyes were also looking at him watery. Chen Sheng could read the meaning in Ling Suyun's eyes, that is, to let Chen Sheng agree to Meng Yi's request.

Chen Sheng was a little dazed. Didn't Ling Suyun despise him before for simply relying on force to win, why did he praise him so much at this time? In fact, how did Chen Sheng know that in this era of continuous wars for hundreds of years, the concept of instant fame is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, far more popular than those who plan to be civilian. Take his teacher Wei Yu as an example, he planned countless schemes to break the determination of the upper nobles of the Six Kingdoms to resist the Qin army, and his achievements were no less than those generals who fought on leaping horses. However, he did not have much fame among the people, and only received attention in the bureaucratic system of the Qin State. Although Ling Suyun's words before were very reasonable and in line with Chen Sheng's thoughts, they were what Ling Suyun and Chen Sheng said when they were arguing, and they may not be sincere.

Seeing the eyes of the three of them, Chen Sheng had no choice but to smile, his heart was crossed, and he said, "Okay, it's really a country...... The rise and fall of Great Qin is the responsibility of the husband. I can't let the soldiers of Great Qin die in vain, I teach the Praetorian Guards how to fight at night and fight with them! ”

"Dr. Chen is so eloquent! The rise and fall of Great Qin is the responsibility of the husband. Tsk, this statement should be the military horn of the soldiers of my Great Qin Empire! When Fusu heard this, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.

Chen Sheng thought that his face was thick enough, and he couldn't help blushing when he heard this, and immediately said modestly: "I didn't say this, it was...... It was taught by the teacher. Chen Sheng bit his tongue stiffly, so that he didn't say the wrong thing.

The three people next to him looked in admiration, and their admiration for Master Wei Yu was one more point. Meng Yi sighed: "Master Yu is really as famous as his person, he is chaste and chaste, and he can learn from the sun and the moon on my Great Qin's gravity!" ”

"......" Chen Sheng stopped talking.

Yugan City is not big and cannot accommodate 100,000 troops, so the camp of the army is set up outside the city in a place that is close to mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, with the southward movement of the army, this battalion is now only garrisoned by 5,000 military horses, most of whom are still logistics personnel, responsible for transporting military rations. However, the military supplies in the barracks are piled up, so there is also a strong army left here to guard, for fear that the Dongou barbarians will be in a hurry, and they will also send people to rob the camp and burn the rear baggage, then it will be a bad thing.

After Chen Sheng got off this errand, Meng Yi was very excited. He had long wanted to witness Fusu boast of Chen Sheng's amazing night combat skills. Meng Yi's family was born as a fierce general, and even his brother Meng Tian also brought 100,000 armor to defend the northern frontier, but he did not lead troops to fight and followed the emperor. In this war-torn era, I haven't even seen a war, and I'm really sorry for the military blood circulating in my body.

After taking out the tiger talisman and successfully taking over the Yugan camp, Meng Yi couldn't wait to transfer the Praetorian Guards out and hand them over to Chen Sheng for emergency exercise, according to the plan, Zhao Tuo would launch an attack on the enemy in ten days, leaving Chen Sheng with only five days. Because they had to travel for four or five days to get to where the battlefield was.
