"The minister thinks it's feasible to attack Baiyue!"

"Judging from the map, Baiyue is scattered all over the country, and if you attack Baiyue, you need to divide your troops and go south."

"All the way to attack Dongou and Minyue, the second and third roads to attack South Vietnam, respectively deep into the north of South Vietnam and follow the Qitian Ridge to enter Panyu, the fourth and fifth roads to attack the West Ou, the fourth route to enter the Mengzhu Ridge, and the fifth road to enter through the Yuecheng Ridge."

"Baiyue is not only scattered, but the terrain is special, and if you want to fight it in one fell swoop, you need a lot of troops."

The first person to speak was Tu Sui, who looked at the map in front of him and analyzed how to send troops.

The others listened to him and nodded their heads to indicate that it was feasible and analyzed well.

Bai Zhong thought that the first battle against Baiyue ended in defeat, and even Tu Sui died in Baiyue, and the army was almost wiped out, and he didn't approve of Tu Sui's plan, but he didn't open his mouth to refute it, and see what Tu Sui would say.

"Well said!"

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, agreed with this, and asked: "How many troops do you think are needed?" ”

Tu Sui didn't respond immediately, and thought for a long time and said, "500,000!" ”

Hearing that 500,000 people were needed to attack Baiyue, everyone looked at Tu Sui in surprise.

But looking at the location on the map, if there are not many troops, the various parts of Baiyue are scattered everywhere, it is really difficult to fight, and after the battle, a large number of troops are needed to suppress the opposition forces of the various departments of Baiyue.

500,000 people, it doesn't seem like a lot.

Tu Sui said again: "The minister is willing to go to Baiyue in person to open up territory for His Majesty." ”

When Ying Zheng heard this amount, he didn't agree immediately, and asked hesitantly, "What does Wu Anjun think?" ”

"If you let the ministers fight, you don't need so many people, 100,000 is enough."

Bai Zhongzuo said.

Tu Sui was refuted, and said unhappily: "Wu Anjun's analysis is wrong this time, 100,000 people are far from enough to pacify Baiyue. ”

Bai Zhong said confidently: "For the minister, it is enough, and among the 100,000 people, there is no need for all soldiers, the minister needs the deceased, the son-in-law, and the Jia people, about 60,000, they are responsible for transporting grain and grass, marching with the army, and finally the minister will leave this part of the people, as the people who migrate, in all parts of Baiyue, so that not only can ensure the stability of the rear, but also use them to replenish the troops at any time, and in the future, they can also assimilate the people of Baiyue and obey the rule of Great Qin." ”

In other words, the number of troops that Bai Zhong needs to fight is only 40,000!

Although the other 60,000 sons-in-law and Jia people can be turned into soldiers, they are not enough at all.

I'm afraid that it will be difficult to suppress, and it will be a hundred Yue.

In fact, after taking Baiyue, Bai Zhong did not use the army to suppress it, but used the means of assimilation to make Baiyue inseparable from Daqin.

Wang Ben reminded: "Wu Anjun is sure, this person can really do this? ”

"The minister thinks it through and makes sure it is feasible to say so."

Bai Zhong faced Ying Zheng and said, "In addition, the minister has another suggestion. ”

He walked to the map, pointed to the Xiangshui and Lishui above, and continued: "Dig a canal here, first, to facilitate our transportation of grain, and second, to facilitate our control of Baiyue after we lay down Baiyue. ”

The second attack on Baiyue was able to win so smoothly, in addition to learning the experience of the first attack, but also because of the digging of the Ling Canal to open up the traffic to the south of Nanling.

Tu Sui insisted on his suggestion and retorted: "Your Majesty, what Wu Anjun said is certainly reasonable, but out of 100,000 people, only 40,000 can fight, which is not enough to take Baiyue. ”

"Wu Anjun's analysis comes from Wu Anjun's strength."

At this time, Wang Juan stepped forward and said: "But we live deep in the north, and we have very little or even no familiarity with the Baiyue region so far away in the south, and we rashly lead 100,000 troops to the south, but we are not guaranteed, and the minister is worried that Wu Anjun will be in danger." ”

Li Si agreed: "Although Wu Anjun is brave and unparalleled, but the minister has heard that Baiyue is not only in a partial position, Baiyue soldiers are fierce, the climate is completely different from Guanzhong, and there is a lot of miasma, as the prime minister said, among the 100,000 generals, only 40,000 can fight, if you encounter miasma, I am afraid that there are less than 20,000 people who can fight, and then Wu Anjun is brave and brave, it is difficult to deal with Baiyue soldiers, it is really dangerous." ”

Listening to their words, Bai Zhong heard a subtle feeling.

Soon he understood that they probably didn't want to let himself be meritorious again, and they didn't want him to get the credit for attacking South Vietnam.

Bai Zhong is only in his twenties, and his credit is far higher than that of Wang Jian and Wu Anjun.

If you get the credit of winning Baiyue again, your position and title can be promoted, so that you will no longer be a general, you may be a general, and there will be no possibility of promotion at that time.

Because he continued to be promoted, he was probably the prime minister, the national lieutenant and the captain, etc., almost a position under one person.

This will pose a certain threat to those civil officials.

On the side of the generals, Meng Wu, Wang Ben and others didn't say anything more, of course they supported Bai Zhong in their hearts, only Tu Sui wanted to stick to his own suggestions and also wanted to make meritorious contributions, so he opposed what Bai Zhong said.

With Yingzheng's trust in Bai Zhong, persuasion from normal channels is not high.

But using Bai Zhong's safety issues to refute Bai Zhong's 100,000 people to win Baiyue can have a good effect.

"The minister thinks that 100,000 people really can't do it."

Feng Quji also stood up and put forward his own suggestions.

The civil officials in the court, unconsciously, most of them stood together and began to oppose Bai Zhong.

The Six Nations were still there before, and they wouldn't be like this.

Now that the world is unified, there are naturally more ideas on the civilian side.

At the end of the day, it's a matter of power.

"For ministers, 100,000 people are enough."

Bai Zhong insisted on his opinion, but did not emphasize anything more.

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought.

It's not that he doesn't trust Bai Zhong, as those civil officials think, he is worried that Bai Zhong will be in danger in Baiyue.

100,000 people, really not enough.

"Think again."

Ying Zheng did not decide this matter immediately, and said: "As for the Xiongnu, Wu Anjun once said before, who can take charge of this matter by building the Great Wall and guarding the fence?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister can!"

Meng Tian suddenly stepped forward and said.

He also got Bai Zhong's suggestion that if he discussed the matter of the Xiongnu in the court, he could take the initiative to continue: "The minister is willing to lead his troops to the north, connect the Great Wall of various countries, and become a barrier to the north of Great Qin. ”

"What does Meng Qing think?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

Of course, Meng Wu had no opinion, and readily agreed: "The minister agrees, but he is worried that Meng Tian is not very old and his ability is slightly insufficient. ”

Meng Tian said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister can do it." ”

Ying Zheng did not hesitate and agreed: "I am approved, in terms of troops and conscription, I will arrange it later." ”

The construction of the Great Wall is also on the right track.

However, how to build it, where the money will come from, these do not need Bai Zhong to worry.

Yingzheng will probably summon Qin Qing and ask her to contribute money and manpower to assist.

This is also the reason why Qin Qing's status in Daqin is so high, but he can get the strong support of Yingzheng as a female businessman.
