Chapter 340 On this day, the door of the mansion slowly opened, and then a few people came out on war horses, followed by five carriages, two of which belonged to the princess of the Western Regions, followed by the maid of the princess of the Western Regions.

In the carriage at the front, Qin Xi was pillowing Yin Ya's legs, and he was humming a little song in his mouth. Bailu looked at it from the sidelines, as if it wasn't in a carriage.

Qin Xi directly stretched out his hands and snatched it over, and said, "What's the matter with the two of you, it's hard to go out to play, and what are you doing with the account book and medical books." Bailu glanced at Qin Xi and said, "If I don't settle accounts for you, can you have so much money to spend?" Bai Muxue said lightly: "As a doctor, the medical book is life. As he spoke, he snatched it back.

Qin Xi said helplessly: "It's better to be Yin Ya, just accompany me when you say it's out to play." Bai Muxue glanced at Qin Xi and said, "If you talk too much, I can give you some medicine." Qin Xi immediately shut up, he didn't dare to disturb the two anymore, that dumb medicine Qin Xi didn't want to drink in his life.

Bailu suddenly put down the account book and asked, "This time we came out to play, why did you bring the princess of the Western Regions?" Qin Xi sat up straight and said, "No matter what she says, she also lives in our house, so we can't go out to play without being invited." ”

"I think you have a mind about that princess of the Western Regions, although you can't see your face, but after all, that figure is much better than our Central Plains women." Bailu squinted at Qin Xi and said.

Qin Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't guess, if I were that kind of person, I would have a group of wives and concubines now." ”

"Not now, isn't it?" Bai Muxue said without raising her head, which immediately left Qin Xi speechless.

Seeing Qin Xi deflated, Bailu and Yin Ya suddenly laughed ruthlessly.

"What does the sea look like? I haven't seen the sea yet. Bailu said.

"When you arrive, you will know that the sea is more vast than you can imagine, and you must know that the land on which we are standing is not as big as the sea." Qin Xi said and leaned down again.

That's right, Qin Xi wants to take everyone to see the sea, and by the way, temporarily stay away from the chaos in Chudi. The people set out in the morning, and in the afternoon they arrived on a beach by the sea.

When I got out of the carriage, a sea breeze blew in my face.

"It's cold." Yin Ya got out of the car and tightened her cotton cloak.

"It's so cold, what are we doing here!" Bailu asked. Qin Xi stepped on the beach, walked to the beach step by step, and said, "Of course it's playing!" ”

"Ahh Find a sheltered spot and set up camp, we're going to be here for a few days. Qin Xi turned his head and said to Ah Da.

"No!" Bailu hurriedly ran to Qin Xi's side and said, "You really plan to play here, it's so cold!" Qin Xi smiled: "It's a bit of a sea breeze today, and we came a little late, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Qin Xi suddenly stopped, looked at the sea and said, "Look, this sea is not big. Bailu looked at the sea, just when a sea breeze blew, and he suddenly shivered with cold.

"What a beautiful sea." Then Zazhelina came over and looked at the little stars in the sea.

"I'm going back to the carriage, it's too cold." Bailu said and turned his head and went back, it was so cold, no matter how good the scenery was, he didn't have the heart to look at it.

Qin Xi looked at Zarelina and said, "Your Highness shouldn't have seen the sea." "I've only seen endless deserts, places like water, but it's the first time I've seen it, can you drink the water in the sea?" ”

"No, you can't drink the water in this sea directly, otherwise something will happen." Qin Xi said. ······ In the Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor was pulling a few confidants and ministers to study the map of Baiyue.

"Your Majesty, this time Baiyue has gathered 200,000 horses and horses to approach the border of my Great Qin, but there has been no next move, and the minister guesses that there is likely to be some conspiracy waiting for General Li Xin." Yao Jia said.

The First Emperor looked at the veteran general Meng Wu standing next to Meng Tian and asked, "General Meng, if I want to unify Baiyue, is it difficult?" Meng Wu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, it's difficult. ”

"The first difficulty our army faced was the dense jungle of Baiyue. Our army is not as familiar with the jungle as the Baiyue people, and even if it can win, it will be a huge loss. ”

"The second difficulty is the transportation of grain and grass, the terrain of Baiyue is complex and diverse, and there is no wide road like the Central Plains, so it is extremely difficult to transport grain and grass. The Baiyue people, who are familiar with the woods, can get their food and grass from the woods, but we can't do it. ”

"The third difficulty is the climate, the climate of Baiyue can even cause poison gas, and it is extremely hot in summer, and our army can't stand it at all when they are wearing armor."

"Can't we solve these difficulties?" Lees asked. Meng Wu said: "There is really no good way to deal with the first and third points. As for the second point, the minister has some ideas. ”

"Say." The First Emperor said. Meng Wu said: "The southern waterways are dense, which is very suitable for boating, but these waterways are not connected to each other, and once we connect these waterways, they can become a channel for transporting grain and grass." The First Emperor asked, "If you want to send troops, how many men and horses do you need at least?" How long does it take? Meng Wu thought for a while and said, "It will take at least 500,000 troops, and in terms of time, it may take three to five years." The First Emperor frowned and asked, "Baiyue is really that strong?" ”

"The Baiyue soldiers are not strong, and the biggest enemy our army faces is not the Baiyue army, but the terrain and atmosphere of Baiyue. If the command is not correct, it is likely that the Baiyue army will suffer heavy losses before encountering it. Meng Wu said.

Li Si said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the time is not yet ripe for my Great Qin to unify Baiyue, and if I rashly send troops, I am afraid it is not a good deed." The First Emperor took a deep breath, and was about to make a decision when a eunuch walked in and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness Qin Xi has sent a letter." ”

"Bring it." The First Emperor said. The First Emperor sat back, opened the letter, and saw that the contents were all written in the vernacular.

Qin Xi's meaning is very simple, attacking Baiyue now, unless the emperor is mediocre, he can't do such a thing.

After talking with Wang Qian, Qin Xi had already seen that the first emperor's purging of the south was actually to pave the way for the conquest of Baiyue, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not suitable to use troops against Baiyue.

Historically, Great Qin sent 500,000 troops, and the troops attacked Baiyue in five directions, and it took three full years to defeat them, and the losses were as high as more than 300,000, which was obviously unbearable for Great Qin.

Qin Xi is now living in this era, and in the face of this war, he naturally has to jump out and say no, because this is definitely a waste of money and labor, and Qin Xi definitely doesn't want to see it.

After reading Qin Xi's letter, the First Emperor tore it up directly, got up and said, "I want a detailed plan for the unification of Baiyue, and I want to see it within a month." ”

"No!" Several people knew that the First Emperor's determination to unify Baiyue had been made, and it was impossible to change it, and all they could do was to formulate the best battle plan.
