Chapter 65: Entering Minzhong County is blocked

When Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, moved to Minzhong County, he immediately blocked all roads in and out of Minzhong County, and built passes in the steep mountains and rivers in an attempt to prevent the Qin army from attacking Minzhong County.

especially to the west and north of Minzhong County;

For the north, Zhao Tuo not only controlled Baoquan Mountain on the north side of Minzhong County, completely blocked the road for the Qin army to enter Minzhong County from Jiangdong, but also stationed 50,000 horses under Baoquan Mountain.

As for the west, it was even more heavily defended.

Because the Fusu army was in Nanhai County in the west, Zhao Tuo deployed most of his troops in the west of Minzhong County, and Zhao Tuo ordered people to completely block several roads from Nanhai County to Minzhong County. Almost all dangerous places have built passes, and there are elite soldiers and strong generals to guard these passes.

After Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, completely blocked the road for the Qin army to enter Minzhong County, he implemented the recruitment system of "one out of two dings (if there are two young heirs in the family, one is drawn)" in Minzhong County, and forcibly recruited 150,000 new soldiers, plus the 80,000 horses he brought from Nanhai County, he forced up 230,000 troops.

Because of the need to support so many soldiers and horses, the taxes of the people of Minzhong County have also increased significantly.

The most ridiculous thing is that Zhao Tuo disregarded the lives and deaths of the people of Minzhong County, and directly sent troops to assist local officials in forcibly collecting taxes.

For a while, the people in Minzhong County were full of complaints, and some people who could not afford to pay taxes had to entangle a group of poor people like themselves to resist taxes, but Zhao Tuo did not understand the difficulties of these tax-resisting people, and directly sent troops to brutally suppress them.

In just half a month, Zhao Tuo has already made a fuss in Minzhong County.

Since the prince returned to Daqin, Zhao Tuo has become like a different person, and he has begun to become moody.

After Wu Jian, three courtiers have died under the tyranny of Zhao Tuo one after another.

Just when the people of Minzhong County were struggling to support themselves in the tyranny of Zhao Tuo, the army of Fusu entered the boundaries of Minzhong County, and because the South Vietnamese Army blocked all roads into Minzhong County, the Qin army was forced to stop at the junction of Nanhai County and Minzhong County.

On this day, the detective cavalry brought back the news that the road ahead was blocked by the newly built pass of the South Vietnamese army.

Fusu decided to find out for himself.

When the Fusoda horse came to the pass that Tanqi had mentioned, he was shocked by what he saw.

I saw a newly built pass embedded in the cliff of the stone valley in front of Fusu, blocking the way for the Qin army to enter Minzhong County, and there was a momentum of "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open".

Looking at the cliffs on both sides of the pass, they have been cut into cliffs by the South Vietnamese army, and I am afraid that even apes cannot cross them.

Looking at the pass in front of him, Fusu shook his head helplessly, due to the tight construction time, this pass was a little poorly built, even so, it was enough to block Fusu's 170,000 army.

Although Fusu had already seen the 100,000 mountains of Guilin County, he was still shocked by the mountains on the periphery of Minzhong County.

I saw that the continuous mountains sandwiched Minzhong County in the middle, and there were only a few roads into Minzhong County, and the most important thing was that these roads were blocked by the South Vietnamese army, and the steep places of the roads had been built by the South Vietnamese army layer of passes.

"Han Chuan, you Ying Long Army can help my army enter this Minzhong County." Fusu looked at Han Chuan and asked.

"Yu Gongzi, if I should infiltrate the Dragon Army, it is not difficult, if I want to let these hundreds of thousands of troops enter Minzhong County, there is nothing I can do." Han Chuan said helplessly.

Hearing what Han Chuan said, Fusu's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the people behind him with a melancholy expression.

"Zhao Junshou, you are the lord of this South Vietnam, why don't you tell me what to do?" Fusu shifted his gaze to Zhao Shi next to Han Chuan.

Seeing that Fusu took the initiative to ask himself, Zhao Shi pretended to think about it for a while and shook his head dumbly.

"Alas, Zhao Shi, it seems that you are really a son of a world who doesn't ask about current affairs." Fusu looked at Zhao Shi and teased with a smile.

When Zhao Shi saw the flash of contempt hidden in Fusu's smile, he lowered his head a little lost and unwillingly.

After a while, Zhao Shi looked at Fusu with a firm gaze and spoke.

"Yu Gongzi, when I was the prince of Nanyue, I heard Orion say that there is a trail to sneak into Minzhong County, but I don't know if the ancient road that Orion said can still be found now."

The reason why Fusu wanted to tease Zhao Shi was to have the mentality of giving it a try and wanted to stir up some useful news from Zhao Shi's mouth, after all, among him, Han Chuan, and Zhao Shi, only Zhao Shi knew the situation in Minzhong County best.

As for teasing Zhao Shi with words, it was all because Fusu saw that Zhao Shi was not interested in the conquest of Minzhong County, in fact, Fusu could understand this, after all, following others to beat his father, no one would be much interested in this matter.

The reason why Zhao Shi followed Fusu to Minzhong County to exterminate Zhao Tuo was due to Fusu's coercion.

Fusu knew that Zhao Shi was not interested in the conquest of Minzhong County, so he did not ask directly when he asked how to enter Minzhong County, but chose to tease Zhao Shi with words, just to provoke this former prince of Nanyue.

Fusu originally didn't have hope for Zhao Shi, but he thought that Zhao Shi actually gave such a good suggestion.

Just when Fusu was excited about Zhao Shi's plan, Zhao Shi spoke.

"Yu Gongzi, I don't think that Orion's words are not to be believed, let's not talk about whether the secret path can be found, even if it is found, there will definitely be elite soldiers and strong generals to guard it."

When Zhao Shi told Fusu the news of entering the trail in Minzhong County, he immediately understood that he was stimulated by Fusu to be fooled, so he hurriedly opened his mouth in regret, trying to prevent Fusu from using his suggestions to make a plan, after all, it was too torturous to make plans for Fusu to kill his father.

Hearing that Zhao Shi tried to disturb his judgment, Fusu smiled knowingly, both laughing at Zhao Shi's clumsy acting skills that he wanted to cover up, and relieved that Zhao Shi still knew to protect his father in his heart.

"Childe, I think it is difficult to carry out this plan...... Zhao Shi is still unwilling to try to prevent Fusu from using his plan to infiltrate Minzhong County.

"Han Chuan, you immediately send someone to find the nearby Orion to see if anyone knows about the secret path that Zhao Shi said about sneaking into Minzhong County." Fusu also ignored Zhao Shi and instructed Han Chuan directly.

Using secret passages to infiltrate enemy countries is one of the most common and effective methods in the history of world warfare;

During the Second Greco-Persian War, 300 Spartan warriors successfully held off 20,000 Persian troops at Thermopylae, and finally a rebellious farmer led the Persian army to bypass Thermopay through a secret passage, resulting in all 300 warriors killed.

In the Three Kingdoms period in later generations, Deng Ai invaded Shu from the Yinping Trail, and Wei Yan once gave Zhuge Liang the "Meridian Valley Scheme", which also wanted to use the Meridian Valley to sneak into Chang'an, but unfortunately Zhuge Liang did not listen.

For Fusu, the use of the secret road is already a familiar way, whether it is infiltrating Jiangdong before, or sending Ying Longjun to start an incident in South Vietnam, there is no shortage of using the secret road strategy.

Two days later, Han Chuan returned to the army with two Orions who knew a little bit about the secret path that Zhao Shi said.

The day after Han Chuan returned to the army, the two Orions entered the mountain with more than a dozen Ying Long sergeants.
