readx;???? Perhaps, Fan Zeng is really dead, because Zhang Jiashi knew exactly from the news from the fine work that Xiang Yu held a grand funeral for Fan Zeng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that Xiang Yu is not too bad in terms of acting skills, at Fan Zeng's funeral, Xiang Yu cried in the coffin many times, but maybe even Xiang Zhuang and Ji Bu of the remaining Five Tiger Generals know that Xiang Yu is more just acting. Because how Fan Zeng died, or because of what the situation, they themselves know very well.

However, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that Fan Zeng's death could change anything, but more just to reduce the resistance of Zhang Jiashi to unify the world for Daqin again.

The current general trend of the Great Qin Empire to unify the world again seems to be inevitable, and as long as Zhang Jiashi completes the offensive against Minyue, then everything is already a foregone conclusion.

......

And some things seem to be a bit taken for granted for Zhang Jiashi.

When Zhang Jiashi was planning to attack Minyue, an unexpected news was reported by the Liaoning County Shouhuan Sulfur.

This news is that when a military commander of Liaoning County was patrolling the road out of the customs, he intercepted three messengers who planned to leave the customs and go to Donghu.

Among these messengers, the chief found a letter written by Fan Zeng to Zabehe, the king of Donghu.

The above content is mainly to hope that Zabeh will go south to attack the northern border of Qin, once Zabehe can jointly attack Daqin, after Daqin is destroyed, Zabeh will get Liaodong County and a part of Liaoxi County.

Seeing this letter, Zhang Jiashi's first reaction was anger, he didn't understand why Fan Zeng would do such a thing.

Because since this is undoubtedly a plot with the tiger, it can be regarded as an embarrassment with foreigners.

Zhang Jiashi wanted to spread this letter all over the world as a written document, so that Fan Zeng and the state of Chu would pay the price for this idea.

However, after calming down, Zhang Jiashi gave up on this idea. Because he knew very well that he couldn't fully prove that this thing was what Fan Zeng did.

After all, these people are all dead soldiers, although they don't have any martial arts, they should be quite loyal to Fan Zeng. After being stopped by the commander and his soldiers, these dead soldiers directly committed suicide by poisoning, which shows that the other party is quite loyal to Fan Zeng.

And Zhang Jiashi has an idea, that is, he can't use this letter and the corpses of these dead soldiers to explain that this is Fan Zeng controlling everything, right?

Sighing softly, Zhang Jiashi shook his head, and he thought silently: "It would be nice if I could find this kind of work." ”

Zhang Jiashi actually knows a truth, that is, the reality is very skinny. No matter how good he thinks, this situation is unlikely to happen.

After all, it is already quite difficult to find such dead soldiers, let alone be able to control them with lightning speed when they are discovered.

Zhang Jiashi had an idea, that is, these dead soldiers should not only have one target in Donghu, but also Xiongnu and Xiqiang.

As for why Fan Zeng thought that Zabehe was still the king of Donghu, Zhang Jiashi didn't know, maybe it was because Fan Zeng didn't know the change in the situation to have such an idea.

But in any case, for Zhang Jiashi, Fan Zeng really violated his bottom line this time.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi is not the kind of "imperial Han" thinking that is too extreme, but to a certain extent, Zhang Jiashi can't accept Fan Zeng's idea.

Of course, he could also understand why Fan Zeng would do this. But more, understanding is understanding, and whether you can accept it or not is another matter.

Zhang Jiashi took a deep breath and said to the guards outside the door: "Someone, pass on the general to meet." ”

Zhang Jiashi did not summon Chen Ping, but summoned Li Xin, in fact, he had an idea.

He thought about it, if Fan Zeng really had a backhand, should he think about the conquest of Chu in detail.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Li Xin, as the general of the Great Qin Empire, had the same status in the army as Tu Sui.

Li Xin and Tu Sui did not feel any dissatisfaction with this arrangement.

In fact, after Tu Sui gradually faded out of the army, Li Xin vaguely became the second person in the Great Qin Empire.

The first number, of course, is Zhang Jiashi himself.

If Zhang Jiashi died suddenly, then it would still be a very serious problem whether the young Ying could subdue Zhang Jiashi's men and horses who were not descendants of the Liaodong Army.

And Li Xin is the existence that Zhang Jiashi believes can be used as a buffer.

And Tu Sui naturally belongs to such a character.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi did not change Tu Sui's position.

Zhang Jiashi's command has reached nearly 400,000 people, which is still the official number of professional soldiers, and if some auxiliary forces are superimposed, Zhang Jiashi knows a little bit very well, so it is not just such a small number of people.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation did not permit, Zhang Jiashi would not have been able to adopt a rotational recruitment system for soldiers at such a time, and Zhang Jiashi would not have wanted his own troop establishment to be so large.

Sun Tzu's Art of War is cloudy, and soldiers are not expensive, this sentence, since it is quite reasonable, there is also a problem.

That is, too few troops often cannot make the army more combative. And a professional army should not waste its military capabilities because of other things.

Therefore, in this regard, Zhang Jiashi did not intend to completely abolish the military system of the Great Qin Empire, but more changed from the lifelong system of the Great Qin Empire to the compulsory year conscription system.

This has become a common practice in Zhang Jiashi's original world.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi also knew that it would not be a good thing to want to do this now, because too many recruits would drag down the overall combat capability of a unit on the battlefield.

In later generations, that practice can be carried out in peacetime.

This is also an aspect that Zhang Jiashi has to think about.

Of course, he is also very clear about one thing, that is, the current Great Qin Empire is far from peacetime.

......

After Li Xin arrived, Zhang Jiashi asked Li Xin if the foreign tribes suddenly launched an offensive on the frontier during the conquest of Qi Chu, would it have too much impact on the conquest of Qi Chu.

Li Xin was a little puzzled, because he didn't think for a while why Zhang Jiashi said such a thing.

And Zhang Jiashi also saw Li Xin's doubts, and he handed Li Xin the piece of music that Huan Su gave him, as well as the letter.

The latter could not help but be silent for a long time after reading the recital and the letter.

Because of this situation, it is indeed not something he can easily guess.

Especially once a foreign invasion, many things will be affected, and in his heart, whether it is the conquest of Qi Chu or the fight against foreign races, it has already contained a lot of power in the Great Qin Empire, if this really happens, Li Xin does not think that the army under Zhang Jiashi and the current national strength of the Great Qin Empire can easily deal with it.

After all, although the two countries are weaker than the current Great Qin Empire, for the Great Qin Empire, these two countries are not so easy to deal with.

Especially in the state of Chu, in terms of Xiang Yu's ability to motivate the people of the state of Chu, Li Xin did not think that the army would be easy when attacking the state of Chu.

On the contrary, they also need to worry about the impact on the people of Chu because of some of the things that happened before.

It's like Xiang Yu slaughtering the Qin people and the Qin army many times, and this kind of thing itself has also provoked national hatred between the Great Qin Empire and the Chu State to a certain extent.

And Li Xin, who thought of this, said a sentence at the end: "Your Majesty, if there is really a possibility that this will happen, then your subordinates hope that if the Third Eastern Crusade is launched, then the land will be leveled first, and then the Chu State will be attacked." ”

Hearing Li Xin's words, Zhang Jiashi also knew that Li Xin was very cautious about this idea.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said this.

He nodded slightly, and then left Li Xin to have lunch together.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On July 10, 203 BC, the Qin army launched an offensive against Minzhong County.

The three-way Qin army launched an attack from Jiujiang County, the area bordering Nanyue County and Minzhong County.

Among them, the Upper Route Army set off from Jiujiang City, with the prisoner army troops under the command of Yingbu as the main force, and the original Jiujiang County troops were dispatched to assist with 20,000 people.

The total number of troops on the road is 50,000, and this number is still beyond Zhang Jiashi's expectations, but after listening to Tu Sui's views on Minyue, Zhang Jiashi has to be cautious about Minyue because of this view:

"Your Majesty, Minyue is not a barbarian land, and the equipment of the Minyue army is far inferior to that of my Great Qin's Tiger and Wolf Army, but it is not the kind of area with backward equipment. In those years, the production process of Yue Sword was praised by various countries, which shows that the weapon production process of the Minyue people can be regarded as an existence that we cannot despise.

It was because of this sentence that Zhang Jiashi had to increase his strength to attack Minyue.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi did this, and there was another consideration, that is, to avoid that once the Chu State sent troops to reinforce them, they were likely to encounter difficulties.

At this point, Zhang Jiashi had to be prepared.

Perhaps, Xiang Yu still couldn't see the importance of Minyue to the Chu State, or ignored what impact Minyue could bring to the security of the Chu State.

But Zhang Jiashi can't guarantee that Fan Zeng will play the same set of the Guo family in the later generations, and come up with a plan for Fan Zeng, if this situation really happens and the army suffers too much, Zhang Jiashi himself has no place to cry if he wants to.

Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, Zhang Jiashi still asked Yingbu to lead the reorganized prisoner army and go south to Jiujiang County in early April.

The Middle Route Army was the main force of the 30,000 Jiujiang County troops led by Tu Sui's nephew Tu Chao.

Although these 30,000 people are said to be the main force of Jiujiang County, they are more troops drawn from Shu County, Qianzhong County and Hanzhong County to form troops.

Zhang Jiashi did not send most of the main force for this operation, not that Zhang Jiashi did not attach importance to this attack on Minyue, on the contrary, Zhang Jiashi had no way to send the main force to conquer Qianzhong County without taking into account the reaction of the Chu State, and officially destroyed this separatist regime.

Although Tu Chao is Tu Sui's nephew, after meeting Tu Chao, Zhang Jiashi has a good impression of this young man.

Moreover, the other party himself has served as the two or five hundred lords in the original Beidi County for more than a year, which also makes Zhang Jiashi have a good impression of this person who is young but has also been honed for a long time.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi promoted Tu Chao to the commander of a unit.

This kind of exceptional promotion is not strange for the current Great Qin Empire, after all, there are many people who are promoted by Zhang Jiashi, especially Han Xin and others, who are close to Zhang Jiashi, are even more in this category.

The South Road Army set out from Panyu to the Chaoshan region after the eastward expedition, and it was also the area on the edge of Minzhong County, with an elite infantry unit of 40,000 people commanded by A Mian.

It is not that the strength of the other two route armies is not elite, but in the mountainous area of Qianzhong County, the combat effectiveness of the mixed units is still worse than that of the simple infantry units.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi actually has more expectations for Ah Mian's army.

After all, Ah Mian's ability to fight in this kind of mountain is also the strongest mountain infantry expert under Zhang Jiashi.

More than half of its troops are mountain troops composed of Miao people, and they are also the strongest troops in the mountainous areas of the Great Qin Empire.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi chose Ah Mian as the commander of the Southern Route Army.

Of course, from the perspective of the terrain, there is no lack of mountains in the offensive area of Yingbu, but for this relatively inland area, Zhang Jiashi does not think that Yingbu will face the main force of Minyue.

Tu Chao's situation was similar, so after Zhang Jiashi weighed it, he still let A Mian be the commander of the Southern Route Army.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

After the operation of the conquest of Minyue was launched, although the offensive of the three-way army against Minyue was not overwhelming, it was quite smooth.

Minyue Wang Wuzhu did not expect Zhang Jiashi to send such a large army to attack Minyue at this time.

Because Minyue itself still implements the system of integrating soldiers and peasants, at this time, which is already considered the late cultivation season, Wuzhu is simply unable to quickly organize his own army to intercept the three-way Qin army.

After only three days of resistance on the border, the outskirts of Minzhong County were also regarded as areas where heavy troops were stationed, and they were broken through by the Qin army.

After the border of Minzhong County was breached, the Minyue defenders in many areas faced a large number of Qin troops and chose to surrender directly rather than resist desperately.

On August 15, 203 B.C., the Northern Route Army under the command of Yingbu broke through Yuekang, an important town on the border between Minyue and Chu.

This place was occupied, and in a sense blocked a route for the Chu army to go south to support.

A few days later, Tu Chao led his army to occupy Longxi and officially threatened the core area of Minyue.

At this time, Wuzhu gathered as many troops under his command as he could gather and went to resist Tu Chao's troops.

However, Wu Zhu hadn't thought of a situation yet, that is, Xianyou County, which was headed by his eldest son, was attacked by Ah Mian.

Wuzhu's eldest son was defeated and killed in the war, which also led to the further weakening of the resistance of the Minyue army.

In the Battle of Xianyou, more than half of the 7,000 troops under the command of Wu Zhu finally surrendered after the city was broken.

This battle officially made Wuzhu lose hope.

Because he could not continue to resist the invasion of the three-way army under such circumstances.

He knows one thing very well, that is, if he continues to resist stubbornly, his final fate will still be death and the destruction of the country.

Therefore, on the day of August 26, 203 B.C., Wuzhu finally chose to surrender.

Although there are still many places in Minzhong County that have not been occupied by the Great Qin Empire, in terms of Wuzhu's current situation, it will not be beneficial for him to resist at all.

......

However, although Wuzhu surrendered, the Qin army stationed in the Minyue Royal City did not mean that it could take a rest.

In fact, Wuzhu's ability to control Minzhong County is still quite weak, and the descendants of the Yue Kingdom in many places are actually not so obedient to Wuzhu.

In the next three months, the 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Qin Empire, together with the Minyue army under the command of Wu Zhu, officially cleared these areas.

And this is the time when it is really difficult.

The Great Qin Imperial Army was also well-equipped in these mountains and forests. But under many relatively primitive traps, the Qin officers and soldiers also paid a heavy price.

If it weren't for the resistance of these Vietnamese people and the incursion of familiar terrain. The army under Zhang Jiashi will not pay such a heavy price in this war against Minyue.

And after Tu Chao got a piece of evidence, he escorted Wuzhu and the Wuzhu family controlled by him directly to Xianyang.

Because Wuzhu's sons instigated rebellions against the Great Qin Empire in these areas.

If it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's unwillingness to implicate the innocent too much, it is estimated that Wuzhu's family would become a market that has completed the demolition of the city wall and rebuilt a certain scale of Xianyang New Town, and become the unlucky ones who will be shown to the public.

In the end, after discussing with Chen and others, Zhang Jiashi decided to give Wu Zhu the title of a fifth doctor, so that he could spend the rest of his years.

Of course, what Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that after seeing him, Wuzhu hoped that he would be able to accept one of Wuzhu's daughters as a concubine.

Zhang Jiashi, who heard this, looked at Chen Ping attentively.

The latter drank very calmly, indicating that he did not see Zhang Jiashi's signal.

As the head of the civil officials under his command, Chen Pingdu "betrayed" him, and Zhang Jiashi, who was not good at this banquet, could only quickly make a smile and smile slightly: "Your kindness, Gu Xin has received it, and Gu has no way to take care of this aspect of the matter at the moment, if there is a chance, Gu will definitely ask you for marriage." ”

Hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, a smile finally appeared on Wuzhu's face.

He also knew that Zhang Jiashi's reply was reluctant, but in order for his family to survive in the Great Qin Empire, he had to sacrifice his daughter's happiness to do so.

.... Easy to see, small to say.
