A few days after Wu Jian's death, the news about Nanyue spread one after another all over Daqin, first Zhao Shi, the son of the king of Nanyue, surrendered to Daqin, then the 80,000 troops of Nanyue were annihilated by Fusu near Sihui County, and then Wu Jian, the minister of Nanyue, was given death by Zhao Tuo, and finally the king of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, moved east to Minzhong County, these news spread like wings to all parts of Daqin.

When these news spread to all parts of Jiangdong under the rule of the Xiang family, the entire land of Jiangdong was covered with a faint layer of sadness, whether it was the officials in Jiangdong or the ordinary people, there was a little more sadness on their faces.

The officials were worried that Jiangdong would be the next South Vietnam, and their careers would end with the collapse of Jiangdong, while ordinary people were worried that the Qin army would endanger their lives when they attacked Jiangdong, especially those who had many children, and they were even more worried that their children and grandchildren would be forcibly conscripted into the army by the Xiang clan when the Qin army attacked Jiangdong.

With the fermentation of these news, many rumors began to be mixed in these news, the most outrageous rumor was that Xiang Yu was going to surrender to Fusu, and the rumor said that Xiang Yu had discussed with Fusu and wanted to learn from Zhao Shi to lead the people to surrender to Qin.

Fortunately, Jiangdong Xiang Bo is wiser than Zhao Tuo, and he doesn't believe these groundless rumors at all, but the people of Jiangdong are different, and they can't tell the truth of these rumors for a while, which only increases the sorrow of many people.

Just when the people of Jiangdong were miserable, Xiang Bo, as the lord of Jiangdong, was not much better, since Meng Tian and Wang Li's army invaded Jiangdong, he had been desperately leading the army to resist the Qin army that invaded Lujiang County, although he finally blocked Meng Tian's offensive, but half of Lujiang County had fallen into the hands of Qin.

It is the norm for the army to conquer and lose the city and cut the land, but the occupation of half of Lujiang County in Jiangdong by Meng Tian obviously cannot be measured by the normal, Lujiang County is west of the Yangtze River, it is the outpost of Jiangdong to resist the Qin army, and it is the west gate of Jiangdong.

If Lujiang County was completely in hand, Jiangdong could completely rely on the Yangtze River to block the Qin army, but after half of Lujiang County was occupied by Meng Tian, the Yangtze River west of Lujiang County had already become the inland river of Qin, and Jiangdong was no longer in danger to defend.

And what made Xiang Bo most uncomfortable was that the Qin army had already relied on half of Lujiang County to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, and from then on, the land of Jiangdong would be like Qin in the eyes of Fusu, and he could attack when Fusu wanted, and he could attack from whatever direction he wanted.

Xiang Bo also tried to compete with Meng Tian, but Meng Tian chose a steady strategy, and immediately built city defenses every time he occupied a city, so as not to give Xiang Zhuang a chance to regain the lost territory of Lujiang County.

Looking at Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, who confronted Wang Li and Yingbu in Changsha County, the situation is slightly better than Xiang Bo, since withstanding the strength of Wang Li's army, Wang Li and Yingbu have not bargained too much in the hands of their brothers, and the two sides have been in a state of confrontation.

The reason why Wang Li and Yingbu did not choose to continue to attack Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang's army was because they received an edict from Fusu.

When Fusu learned that Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang led their troops back to Changsha County, he immediately sent someone to convey an edict to Wang Li: as long as Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang's army is delayed, don't rush to attack.

The reason why Fusu wanted to stop Wang Li and Yingbu from attacking was because Fusu knew that Xiang Yu's combat effectiveness was not weak, and he didn't want to increase the casualties of the Qin army. After the South Vietnam was completely wiped out, Fusu would let Peng Yue lead the army from South Vietnam to Changsha County and assist Wang Li in recapturing the entire territory of Changsha County.

……

Just when all parts of Great Qin were talking about Fusu's actions in Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who caused this series of events, left 30,000 horses to garrison Nanhai County, and he himself led the people to move to Minzhong County.

Hearing the news of the king of Nanyue, Fusu nodded with satisfaction, and then watched as a group of civil and military officials began to arrange the final arrangements for the complete extermination of Nanyue.

"Rank, now that the king of Nanyue has moved east to Minzhong County, it is clear that he wants to rely on Minzhong County to make the final struggle, and this Minzhong County is adjacent to Jiangdong, it seems that this Zhao Tuo is ready to join forces with Jiangdong again, it depends on whether this Jiangdong Xiang clan dares to aid Nanyue, if he Jiangdong does not send troops to aid Zhao Tuo, then I will only take his Changsha County, if he Jiangdong dares to send troops, then I have to take back Jiangdong." Fusu looked at the group of civil and military officers and said.

"Yu Gongzi, now that my Great Qin is about to conquer South Vietnam, if I take advantage of the great victory of South Vietnam to exterminate Jiangdong, it will not be difficult, why does Gongzi still delay and only want to Jiangdong Changsha County?" Peng Yue asked a little puzzled.

"Childe, I also think that what General Peng Yue said is very true." Li Yan seconded.

"Two generals, my Great Qin does have the military strength to completely exterminate the Xiang clan in Jiangdong now, but after exterminating Jiangdong, how can I appease the more than three million people in Jiangdong? After the war, the people will be on the verge of poverty, and when the time comes, the food, clothing, and shelter of these millions of people will be drawn from my Great Qin Treasury. Although there is still money and grain accumulated by issuing bonds of the Great Qin State in the treasury, it can't withstand such a toss, this expedition to South Vietnam is already a huge loss, and Jiangdong's Great Qin Treasury is about to bottom out, and it is really not cost-effective to recover Jiangdong at this time. Fusu looked at Peng Yue and Li Yan and said.

"Son, I understand my humble duties." Peng Yue said.

Seeing that Peng Yue and Li Yan showed expressions that seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Fusu shook his head helplessly.

The reason why Fusu wanted to temporarily put on hold the continuation of the conquest of Jiangdong was because he was worried that the conquest of Jiangdong would exhaust the financial resources accumulated by issuing bonds of the Great Qin State and increase the burden on the finances of the Great Qin.

The land west of the river has just begun, and huge investment will be needed in the later stage, and after the recovery of Nanyue, millions of Nanyue people also need to be appeased, even if there are financial means such as issuing bonds of the Great Qin State, they cannot withstand the consumption of more than three million Jiangdong people.

Once Daqin's finances collapse and the maturity of Daqin's national bonds cannot be redeemed, Daqin's national credit will be completely exhausted, and at that time, Fusu's plan to build Hexi into a major commercial town for Daqin facing Central Asia may come to naught.

Compared with the Peacock Dynasty that was to be destroyed in the Fusu plan, Jiangdong was only a disease of scabies, and if the rapid rise of Great Qin was delayed because of the land of Jiangdong, it would be a bit of a waste of time.

For the recovery of Jiangdong and the counties under the rule of Hu Hai, Fusu already had an idea, that is, to fight an economic war in advance, which could not only exhaust the strength of the counties ruled by Jiangdong and Hu Hai, but also accumulate experience in economic warfare for the use of economic advantages to completely blockade the Mauryan Dynasty after building a good land in Hexi.

Fusu knew that in order to conquer the Mauryan Empire, the world's largest power with a population of 35 million and an area of two more counties than Great Qin, it was impossible to rely on conquest alone, and economic warfare was the best auxiliary option.

For Peng Yue and Li Yan, not to mention knowing the Peacock Dynasty on the other side of the Himalayan Raya Mountains, even the theory of economic warfare has only been said by Fusu, all this is not the ignorance of Peng Yue, Li Yan and others, but the huge gap caused by the difference of two thousand years of cognition is not something that can be made up for a while.

After a while, Fusu came back to his senses from his thoughts, only to see Peng Yue and Li Yanzheng waiting expectantly for him to make arrangements for the next complete destruction of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue.

"General Li Yan, now in addition to the tens of thousands of troops in Minzhong County, the strength of the troops in various parts of South Vietnam is already insignificant, so you can lead the 50,000 troops south and go to recover all parts of Xiang County!" Fusu looked at Li Yan and ordered.

"No, the lowly post will definitely take back all parts of Xiang County within a month." Li Yan promised with a serious face.

"General Peng Yue, you can clean up the mess in this Nanhai County."

"Childe, why don't you let the humble post go with you to the Fujian Zhongjun to clean up Zhao Tuo." Peng Yue licked his face and asked Fusu for his life.

Let himself clean up the mess in Nanhai County, Peng Yue is really unwilling, after all, such a major event as exterminating Zhao Tuo is more interesting than cleaning up the mess, even if he follows Li Yan to clean up the remnants of Xiang County, it is more interesting than cleaning up the mess in Nanhai County.

"Don't think about it when you go to Minyue, aren't there still Zhao Shi, Han Chuan and these brothers from Qingzhang Mountain?" Fusu pointed to Zhao Shi and Han Chuan who were standing under the hall, and a Brother Qingzhangshan who was standing behind him as a guard.

Hearing Fusu mention himself, Han Chuan and the guards behind Fusu couldn't help but straighten their waists, while Zhao Shi was at a loss.

Seeing that Fusu had not changed his mind, Peng Yue had no choice but to accept Fusu's arrangement without love.

Three days later, Fusu left Peng Yue with 50,000 horses, and then led an army of 170,000 to Minzhong County.
