When the king of Nanyue received the head of the main general of the Bushan battalion, Fusu, who was far away in Xianyang, had already received Peng Yue's report. In the next two days, the recitals of Zhang Liang and Wu Guang were also sent to Fusu in Xianyang Palace.

The next day after receiving Wu Guangzuo's report, Fusu informed the ministers of the news that Peng Yue and others had recovered the three counties of Guilin County, and for a time the entire Qilin Hall was jubilant.

"Yu Gongzi, the old minister congratulates Gongzi on taking back the three counties of Guilin County in Nanyue, and most of Guilin County has been under the rule of my Great Qin. Lao Chen thought that it was much more difficult to hold the three counties of Guilin County than to take these three county capitals, and that my Great Qin should immediately send a large army into Guilin County to assist Sergeant Ying Long to gain a foothold in South Vietnam, and once my Great Qin firmly controlled Guilin County, then my Qin army could attack South Vietnam as much as he wanted. Lao Chen suggested that Meng Tian's 200,000 troops be transferred to South Vietnam to help Peng Yue stabilize the situation in Guilin County. Lees said as he stood up from his seat.

The reason why Li Si was able to sit on the chair and participate in the court meeting was all because of Fusu's compassion.

When Fusu saw that the elderly Li Si had to endure the torment of kneeling and sitting when he was negotiating, he asked the craftsmen of the Great Qin Ordnance Academy to build a chair with a back for Li Si.

Because the Qin Dynasty did not have the habit of using chairs, Fusu had to draw a sketch himself, and let the craftsmen of the Great Qin Ordnance Institute make a few chairs according to the sketch.

After the chair was ready, Fusu told Li Si that he could sit and participate in the court meeting in the future. At first, Li Si was reluctant to accept Fusu's sympathy, and Fusu had no choice but to issue an edict to sit and participate in the court meeting as a reward for Li Si to assist two generations of Great Qin kings.

"Prime Minister Li, you do have far-reaching plans, but I think it's not time to use Meng Tian's army now, I think it's more deterrent for Meng Tian's army not to move than to move. With the gradual advancement of the war in South Vietnam, our Great Qin is bound to start a full-scale war with South Vietnam, and at that time, I am afraid that the Jiangdong Xiang clan will send troops to aid South Vietnam. Fusu said to Li Si.

"Childe, there are 300,000 people in Zhao Tuo's South Vietnamese army, and most of them are soldiers who attacked South Vietnam with Ren Hu back then. If you only rely on 3,000 Ying Long troops, you will definitely not be able to hold the three counties of Guilin County. If you don't use Meng Tian's army, how can you stop these 300,000 South Vietnamese soldiers? ”

Li Si was worried that Fusu would misjudge the military strength of South Vietnam, so he quickly explained.

"Prime Minister, I know you're worried that I will underestimate the enemy, but don't forget that I still have 70,000 soldiers in Daqin who are hiding in the three counties of Guilin County." Fusu said to Li Si with a mysterious expression.

"Yu Gongzi, all the soldiers, horses, grains and grass of my Great Qin are in the stomach of the old minister, can I still not know how many soldiers there are in South Vietnam? The 3,000 Ying Long Army, even if you count the rebellious South Vietnamese Army, there are only 20,000 people, where are the 70,000 soldiers you said? ”

"Prime Minister, I said that if there is, there must be, why don't we make a bet?"

"Childe, don't fool the old minister anymore, the old minister really doesn't know where the 70,000 soldiers came from. Please also ask Childe to speak. ”

Li Si racked his brains and couldn't figure out where the 100,000 army Fusu said was, so he had to helplessly ask Fusu to explain.

"Prime Minister Li, there are 200,000 people in the three counties of Guilin County under the rule of my Great Qin, if I issue an edict to the people of these three counties, whoever assists me in defending their respective county governments will be exempted from paying taxes for three years, how many people will help me defend the three counties of Guilin County. If I add one more, anyone who assists me in defending the respective prefectures and counties of the Great Qin Dynasty will receive two stones of grain from the imperial court every year, and how many people will help my Qin army guard the three counties of Guilin. ”

After Li Si listened to Fusu's words, he was a little incredulous for a while.

"Childe, even if you add 200,000 people, you can't withstand the 300,000 South Vietnamese army?"

"Prime Minister, I don't expect 200,000 people to come and help me resist the South Vietnamese Army, as long as there are 120,000 people, it will be enough to save them. The combat power of the people is naturally not as good as the soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, I only calculate according to the sixty percent combat power of the soldiers, and the 120,000 people can also top 70,000 male soldiers, plus the Ying Long Army and the South Vietnamese Righteous Army, the entire South Vietnam has 100,000 troops. ”

Fusu looked at the courtiers and explained. In fact, there is no shortage of successful cases in history of mobilizing the people to defend the city, the defense of Handan during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the Qin army besieged Handan for two years, the Zhao people went out of the country, and the people reached the point of eating the son, and finally defeated the Qin army.

"Childe, 100,000 soldiers still can't withstand the 300,000 South Vietnamese army!" Li Si said uneasily.

"Prime Minister, although the South Vietnamese army claims to have 300,000 people, they may not all be put on the battlefield of Guilin. If Zhao Tuo can send 150,000 South Vietnamese Military Region to attack the three counties of Guilin County in wartime, even if he Zhao Tuo governs the country well. South Vietnam was full of bandits, and Jiangdong was eyeing it. Does Zhao Tuo dare to mobilize all 300,000 troops to Guilin County? As long as I send 10,000 Tiger troops to go around the periphery of Nanhai County, then Zhao Tuo will obediently transfer 40,000 or 50,000 South Vietnamese troops back to Panyu. After such calculations, Zhao Tuo could only send 120,000 South Vietnamese troops to attack the three counties of Guilin County at most. ”

After listening to what Fusu said, Li Si understood the basis for Fusu to dare to make such a calculation, and after thinking about it, he thought that what Fusu said was reasonable, so he no longer worried that Fusu would underestimate the enemy, and expressed his support for Fusu's views with all the courtiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with a force of 1120,000 to attack the three counties of Guilin County, which have almost the same strength and strong city defenses, the South Vietnamese army will inevitably be at a disadvantage. As long as I defend the city and strengthen the county defenses and hoard enough food and materials, even if it is a year or two, it will not be a problem. I intend to transfer 1 million stone of grain to Guilin County, which is enough for 100,000 troops to use for two years to defend the city, so that my soldiers and civilians in Guilin County can defend the city. What do you think? ”

"Son, we think that Childe's plan is very good, and we have no opinion."

Seeing that the ministers no longer had any doubts about their decision, Fusu asked Meng Yi to start transferring grain, grass and ordnance to Guilin County according to his own plan.

A month later, when Zhao Tuo was preparing to send troops to Guilin County, the three counties of Guilin County under Fusu had already hoarded enough grain and grass to support a year of high-intensity warfare.
