The day after Fusu began to transport grain and grass supplies to South Vietnam, the guards of Xianyang Palace went to South Vietnam with an edict.

Ten days later, this edict caused quite a stir in the three prefectures and counties under the rule of Fusu in Guilin County, and for a time caused a lot of discussion among the people.

On this day, in a township market closest to Bushan County, hundreds of thatched-roof mud houses were scattered on both sides of a street, and dozens of people were watching the excitement around a bulletin board in the township market center.

"Mr. Liu, what is written on this list? Tell us about it. A middle-aged man who was watching the excitement pointed to the newly posted list and asked a villager surnamed Liu who was standing aside.

"My prince of Daqin has issued an edict, from now on, anyone who is willing to help the government army strengthen the city can get ten catties of grain or two big money a day; Those who assist the government army in resisting the rebels of Zhao Tuo shall be exempted from taxes for three years; Those who assist the government army in defending the city for more than one month will not only be exempted from taxes for three years, but will also receive two official grains per year during the tax holiday. ”

"Mr. Liu, did the government really say that?"

Immediately, some ordinary people who did not believe in the authenticity of the edict asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this edict really says so, doesn't this still have the seal of the government?"

Mr. Liu pointed to a stamp on the edict and explained to the onlookers.

"Everyone, I don't know if our court has too much money and food to spend, and to help the garrison strengthen the city defense and send us money and food, isn't this what we should have done in the past?" I saw an onlooker and said with a smile.

"Alas, Niu Er, you can't say that, since our Bushan County was under the rule of Great Qin, this life is much more comfortable than when the king of Nanyue was in power. Where is the son's money and food can't be spent, it's not because the son is kind-hearted and treats our people well. I saw an elder speak earnestly to a group of young people gathered to discuss current affairs.

I saw Niu Er, who just said that Gongzi Fusu was "stupid with many money", and said with a sneer: "Uncle Zhou, we just talk about it casually, and we shouldn't do anything." ”

"Uncle Zhou, you know a lot, do you think this is a trick of the government, not only to trick us into doing labor, but also to pretend to be sympathetic to our people, and when the city is reinforced, everything will be fine." Niu Er looked at the old man in front of him and said.

"There has always been only the government that collects money and grain, and I have heard that the government will give money and grain to the people."

"I think what Brother Niu said makes sense, I won't go anyway."

"I'm not going either"

For a while, half of the onlookers said that they would not do this uncertain thing.

Seeing that the onlookers did not believe the edict of the government, Zhou Abel said angrily:

"I don't care if you go or not, but my eldest and second lang, I will definitely let them help strengthen the city of Burao. I've lived for most of my life, and the first time I met such a good court, I said that I would help me with everything, even if I didn't have money and food, I still had to let my eldest and second lang contribute. ”

After Uncle Zhou left angrily, Niu Er and the others suddenly burst into laughter.

"Why is this old man so tough? If the Zhou family Lang and Erlang can get a grain of rice from the government back, I will learn to bark for you. Niu Er looked at the people around him and said firmly.

Early the next morning, Zhou Abor summoned his two sons out of the house and went to Bushan County to build city defenses.

At dusk, I saw Zhou Dalang coming back alone.

After hearing the news, Niu Er and the others blocked the Zhou family who was about to go home, and laughed proudly.

"I said Brother Zhou, didn't you two brothers go to help the government soldiers strengthen the city defense of Bushan County? Why did you come back alone? Isn't it because there is too much food from the government to move, so you are looking for someone to help? Niu Er looked at Zhou Dalang and teased.

"I said Brother Niu, there is really no food, what about the ten-mile mountain road? Isn't it too tiring to carry twenty pounds of food on your back? The money was given to four. ”

I saw Zhou Dalang take out four big coins from his arms, hold them up and put them in front of Niu Er and the others.

"Brother Zhou, don't lie to me, this is really from the government?" Niu Er asked eagerly.

"It's really from the government, if you work until the night, there will be a big penny. Aren't I afraid that my father will worry, so I rushed back early to tell my father, and Erlang stayed to continue to strengthen the city defense, a lot of money! It's a pity not to earn it. ”

After listening to what Zhou Dalang said, the idlers around Niu Er couldn't sit still.

"If only we hadn't listened to Niu Er at the beginning, we lost two big bucks in vain."

"That's it, it's still Zhou Abo who has a long-term view."

……

For a while, everyone opened their mouths to express their remorse, although they did not point the finger at Niu Er, but the words revealed their dissatisfaction with Niu Er. Niu Er didn't pay attention to these people, and turned around and went home depressed.

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhou Dalang went out, he saw nearly 100 people waiting at the door of his house, and Niu Er was also in the queue, obviously preparing to go to Bushan County to strengthen the city defense.

……

In addition, the two counties of Zhulu and Laoyi encountered the same situation as Bushan.

In just a few days, 780,000 people joined in the project of strengthening the county defenses of the three counties of Guilin County.

When Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, mobilized 170,000 troops and prepared to go to Guilin County, Bushan and other three county towns had been built into three well-defended fortified cities with the efforts of 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

On the day that the king of Nanyue sent his troops, the Qin spies who were lurking in various parts of Nanhai County sent the news of Zhao Tuo's army.

Three days later, Peng Yue, Wu Guang, and Zhang Liang received the news that the king of Nanyue had sent troops.

Peng Yue, Wu Guang, and Zhang Liang immediately organized the people in their respective jurisdictions, and for a time 140,000 people poured into the three county towns of Bushan, Zhulu, and Laoyi, and 160,000 soldiers and civilians relied on the three fortified cities to build a tight defensive formation.

On this day, the news of Zhao Tuo's dispatch was sent to Xianyang Palace by the Xun soldiers.

After receiving the news of Zhao Tuo's army, Fusu immediately took action, first sending 10,000 tiger troops straight to the junction of Qindi and Nanhai County to attract Zhao Tuo's attention.

On the second day of the departure of the 10,000 tiger army, Fusu personally led the remaining 40,000 tiger army to Guilin County.

When the South Vietnamese army entered Guilin County, Fusu and his party had already arrived at Qiancheng, the seat of Qianzhong County.

Fusu met with a number of officials of Qianzhong County such as Gan Yu, the county guard, and incorporated the 5,000 Qingzhangshan soldiers and horses that Zhang Liang and Wu Guang had placed in Qianzhong County under his command.

Since 200 Qingzhangshan soldiers who returned to Qin with Zhang Liang accepted Fusu's arrangement to go to Hexi for resettlement, there were still 4,800 Qingzhangshan soldiers stationed in Qianzhong County, and Fusu transferred 200 people from the defenders of Qiancheng, making up enough for 5,000.

The reason why Fusu personally led the Tiger Ben Army and the Qingzhang Mountain soldiers to South Vietnam was to completely solve the trouble of South Vietnam once and for all, and to take the opportunity to take half of Jiangdong. Whether it is the 160,000 soldiers and civilians who are holding on to the three counties of Guilin County, or the 10,000 tiger army that attracts Zhao Tuo's attention at the junction of Qindi and Nanhai County, they are just bait in the plan to help the Su, and the real blade is still cultivating fertile land in Hexi at this time!
