Chapter 62: Recovering Sihui County

Just when Zhao Tuo was about to withdraw the 80,000 South Vietnamese troops under Sihui City, Fusu had already planned to annihilate the 80,000 South Vietnamese troops under Sihui City.

Since evacuating from Sihui City that day, Fusu led the Tiger Ben army to withdraw to the camp.

Two days later, Fusu received a letter from Han Chuan and learned about the specific situation in Sihui City.

In view of Zhao Shi's sincere surrender to Qin, Fusu decided to unite with the tens of thousands of troops under Zhao Shi's command in Sihui City, intending to completely annihilate the 80,000 South Vietnamese troops under Sihui City.

After making the decision to annihilate the South Vietnamese army under Sihui City, Fusu ordered Peng Yue to send someone to send a letter asking Zhao Shi to work together to encircle and annihilate the South Vietnamese army under Sihui City to Sihui County.

When the messenger from the Qin army camp sent Peng Yue's letter to Zhao Shi, Peng Yue had already led 50,000 tiger troops to bypass Sihui County and cut off the road for the South Vietnamese army to retreat, and the 100,000 army led by Fusu and Li Yan had also arrived at a distance of 20 miles from Sihui County.

When the South Vietnamese cavalry found that a large number of Qin troops appeared in Sihui County, they immediately reported the situation to the commander of the South Vietnamese Army, and the commander of the South Vietnamese Army led the South Vietnamese Army to evacuate Sihui County overnight.

On the night when the South Vietnamese army withdrew from Sihui County, 100,000 Qin troops and 70,000 defenders in Sihui City converged and chased after the South Vietnamese troops who were evacuating Sihui County with torches.

At dawn the next day, the South Vietnamese army, which had fled from Sihui County, was intercepted by 50,000 Tiger Ben troops, and after a fierce battle, they were blocked by the Tiger Ben Army in a canyon 60 miles away from Sihui County.

Two hours later, when the South Vietnamese army was ready to attack again, the 170,000-strong army of Fusu and Zhao Shi rushed to the mouth of the gorge. Peng Yue, who was condescendingly blocking the South Vietnamese army at the mouth of the gorge, saw the pursuing Fusu army at a glance, and immediately led all the Tiger Ben troops to rush to the South Vietnamese army in the valley.

A fierce battle with a huge difference in numbers began in this unknown valley, and after half an hour, the surviving 50,000 South Vietnamese troops surrendered. The reason why 50,000 South Vietnamese troops survived was also due to the fact that the terrain of the canyon was favorable to the South Vietnamese army, because the 170,000 combined forces of Fusu and Zhao Shi could not be fully deployed.

Two days after the Battle of the Canyon, Fusu took over the county seat of Sihui.

On this day, a group of Qin army civil and military gathered in the hall of Sihui County, and Zhao Shi and a group of South Vietnamese army generals were impressively listed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why my Great Qin was able to easily recover this Sihui county town is due to two groups of people, one is the Yinglong army soldiers who ventured to infiltrate Sihui County to plot against the South Vietnamese army ministers and the main generals in the army."

After Fu Su finished speaking, he looked at the group of civil and military forces behind Zhao Shi with a deep expression.

A moment later, Han Chuan and more than a dozen Ying Long sergeants and soldiers were led by the guards to the Sihui County Ya Hall.

"Humble duty to meet the son," Sergeant Ying Long saluted to Fusu in unison.

Fusu carefully looked at Ying Longjun in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Who is Han Chuan?" Fusu asked.

"Son, humble duty." Han Chuan said and walked out of the Ying Long army.

"Yes, it's really extraordinary." Fusu praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Han Chuan, you just stay by my side, I still have an important matter for you to handle, I don't know what you are going to do?"

"Son, I am willing."

Hearing that Fusu wanted to keep him by his side, Han Chuan was excited, and hurriedly agreed. And the group of Ying Long soldiers standing behind Han Chuan looked at Han Chuan with envy.

"And you, too, are also my heroes of Great Qin. Passed on my edict, all the soldiers of the Yinglong Army who infiltrated the county seat of Sihui were promoted to two levels, and each was rewarded with 10,000 yuan. ”

After listening to the reward given to them by Fusu, a group of Ying Long soldiers hurriedly received the edict and thanked them, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.

After rewarding Ying Longjun, Fusu shifted his attention to Zhao Shi and the others.

"This other wave of indispensable people is the prince of Nanyue, Zhao Shi and his subordinates, who are dedicated to my Great Qin." Fusu pointed to Zhao Shi and a group of people and said.

"Childe, all this is the credit of Childe, I dare not take credit." Zhao Shi said cautiously.

"The son of the world is too humble, it should be your credit is your credit, how can I be greedy for merit."

"Scribe, draft edict." Fusu instructed the scribe.

"The edict ordered Zhao Shi to be the county guard of Nanhai County, ranked as the third duke, and assisted Peng Yue in suppressing Zhao Tuo's rebellion."

A moment later, the scribe handed the draft edict to Fusu, who reviewed it and stamped it.

Fusu came to Zhao Shi with the edict, raised the edict and handed it to Zhao Shi.

"Minister Zhao Shi thanked the son," Zhao Shi bowed, took the edict in Fusu's hand with both hands, and thanked him.

Although Zhao Shi was a little dissatisfied with Fusu's fact that he not only let him take over the four counties of Nanyue, but also let him assist Peng Yue, he still reluctantly accepted Fusu's edict.

After rewarding Zhao Shi, Fusu walked to the side of the Nanyue civil and military behind Zhao Shi and glanced at Jia Heng and the others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I Daqin was able to recover these Sihui counties without bloodshed, and you also have merit. Especially the group of people among you who first took refuge in my Great Qin. ”

After listening to Fusu's words, Zhao Shi looked at Jia Heng and the others behind him incredulously.

"Who are the people who have surrendered to my Great Qin before my army takes back this Sihui county?" Fusu looked at the group of South Vietnamese soldiers behind Zhao Shi and asked.

After a while, I saw that half of the South Vietnamese army's civilian and military trains stood up.

Seeing half of the people behind him stand up, Zhao Shi's face kept changing, with shock, remorse, and anger, but in the end, they all turned into admiration.

After calming down, Zhao Shi looked up at Fusu, and Fusu happened to be smiling at him at the moment.

Looking at Fusu's smile, Zhao Shi felt an endless chill in his heart. It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Shi understood how terrible Fusu really was, and the dissatisfaction in his heart with Fusu's arrangement to assist Peng Yue also disappeared.

After Fusu glanced at Zhao Shi, he refocused his gaze on Jia Heng and the others.

"You were the first to surrender to my Great Qin, and my Great Qin will not treat you badly, everyone will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan, if you are willing to continue to be in power, you can govern in the land west of my Great Qin River or your ancestral hometown in Qin before you, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, you choose."

After hearing the reward that Fusu said, Jia Heng and the others were dumbfounded, didn't they say that they would take one of the four counties of South Vietnam before? How did he become a county magistrate and a county lieutenant, and it was also the ancestral home of Hexi or Qindi. Jia Heng looked at Han Chuan expectantly, but Han Chuan didn't look at himself at all.

"Don't you want to be an official in my Great Qin?" Fusu asked with an unkind face.

"Son, I'm willing." Han Chuan and the others had no choice but to accept Fusu's arrangement with a bitter face.

For the civil and military officials of the South Vietnamese Army who surrendered after recovering the county seat of Sihui, the resettlement conditions were directly one level lower than those of Jia Heng and others, and the resettlement location was the same as that of Jia Heng and others, except that the reward was only 5,000 yuan, and the official position was even reduced to a rank (one of the township officials, similar to the level of the township chief, in charge of litigation and taxation. ), Sifu (a township official similar to Youzhi).
