Chapter 732: Bad News

"General Feng is amazing, he first leveled the Yue, then descended to Dongou, and now he has defeated Minyue, which can really be called the nemesis of the Yue people. Depending on the situation, news of his capture of South Vietnam will come in a few months. ”

"And General Tu Sui's side. I heard that he and General Feng divided their troops and led an army of 100,000 to attack Xiou. With the country of small Ouyue, how can it be able to defeat the 100,000 Rui soldiers of my Great Qin. I think it won't be long before there will be good news that General Tu will attack Xiou. ”

"Hehe, it was said before that it was difficult to recruit Baiyue, but now it looks like that's just the case. Under our army, those Yue people are like local chickens and dogs, and they will be broken as soon as they are beaten. ”

Xianyang City is full of joy, there are many Qin people talking to each other in the streets and alleys, and some people have even begun to invite friends to drink and celebrate.

Minyue is a big country in Baiyue, and it is even more powerful than the Dongou that surrendered before.

Now that Feng Wuxue led the army to occupy Minyue, this achievement is naturally worth boasting about.

The emperor was pleased, and ordered the world to drink for three days to celebrate.

This is a common practice, and when encountering the good news of a military victory, it must be greatly publicized and even celebrated, with the purpose of letting everyone in the world know about it.

First, it can share the joy of the emperor, and secondly, it can encourage the people, give a positive feedback to the people of the world, and let this war go on smoothly.

Not only the people were overjoyed about this, but the officialdom was also full of praise and echoing voices.

When the emperor announced this good news in the court, everyone said that the emperor was wise and martial, and the two generals Feng Wuxue and Tu Sui had a good command of the army, and this southern expedition would open up the territory of Qin.

At this time, no one mentioned the fact that it was difficult to recruit Baiyue.

There are even courtiers in the court, who are quietly discussing the court meeting six years ago in private.

At that time, General Tu suggested a southern expedition, and the emperor originally wanted to send 500,000 troops to the south to conquer Vietnam. But Wugong Hou stood up to stop it, talking about the sinister nature of the land of Baiyue, saying that Baiyue could not be taken quickly, and could only be taken slowly. In the end, the emperor changed the southern expedition to the northern expedition. It was in this battle that he made great contributions and was named Lunhou. Looking at it now, the words of the martial arts marquis are not credible. ”

"Yes, it turns out that Baiyue is a plate of loose sand, which is better than the Hu people in the north. I estimate that the Marquis of Wugong was still the chief of the palace at that time, and he was only one step away from the Marquis of Lun, and when he saw that the emperor wanted General Tu to lead the troops to attack Yue, he was anxious to get the credit, so he said that it was difficult to recruit Baiyue. In this way, he can lead the Northern Expedition and make meritorious contributions! ”

"Although this prince is young, he has a deep mind."

This conspiracy theory is not said in a formal setting, but it is still brought up in private conversations with friends.

Zhao Tuo's subordinates used to distribute various official offices, and he had heard about it.

In this regard, Zhao Tuo was not very angry, but just silently wrote down the names of those people.

For the Battle of Baiyue, he was more worried.

Because in Zhao Tuo's memory, the original historical Qin army's expedition to Vietnam was indeed overwhelming at the beginning, and Baiyue couldn't raise his head with his powerful equipment and combat power.

The real problem lies in the fact that the Qin army penetrated deep into Baiyue, the supply line was lengthened, and it was not suitable for the local climate, water and soil. In addition, it was constantly attacked and harassed by the Yue people, and finally the main general Tu Sui was ambushed, and the Qin army lost its commander and suffered a heavy defeat.

"I was expecting Lao Feng to be able to suppress Tu Sui as the main general, but I didn't expect the two of them to divide their troops. In this way, will Tu Sui take the enemy lightly? ”

"And I heard that Lao Feng told the emperor in a letter that he was sick and asked the emperor to send another person to lead the army, which is not good news."

Zhao Tuo was a little worried.

His brother was a heroic character, with a rough and strong personality.

This kind of person is a fierce general, but he is not a calm general like Wang Qian, and he rarely adopts steady and steady tactics in battle. This kind of play, to conquer a place with a harsh environment like Baiyue, is not good.

"The journey from Minyue to Xianyang is five or six thousand miles, and now the news that Feng Wuxue has taken Minyue is more than two months ago. In the past few months, I don't know what will happen. ”

Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of worry. Because of the distance and underdeveloped transportation, the news received by Xianyang actually has a great lag.

Worry is worry, Zhao Tuo is still wise to keep silent at this time.

From the emperor and the hundred officials to the common people of Qian, they are all celebrating the first victory in the battle of conquering Yue, who dares to stand up and sing the decline at this time?

Even the First Emperor teased Zhao Tuo a lot because of this matter.

After Zhao Tuo reported to the First Emperor in person about the completion of the school, he also looked at Zhao Tuo playfully and said with a smile: "In the past, the martial arts marquis said that it was more difficult to recruit, and it was not possible to take it quickly. Now I see that Feng Wuxue and Tu Sui are fighting very quickly. Less than two months after the official start of the war, Minyue was taken, and according to this way of fighting, I could not get the good news that the army would take all the hundred Yue at the end of the year. ”

"This is only 200,000 people, if the original 500,000 army went south, I am afraid it will only win faster."

Seeing that the First Emperor was full of ridicule, Zhao Tuo's face was expressionless, and he only arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is right." ”

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo bow his head, the First Emperor laughed.

This Zhao Tuo, who originally portrayed a land of a hundred Yue as very dangerous and terrifying, as if it was a peerless realm in the world.

The result?

The Qin army really fought it, only to find that those Yue barbarians were vulnerable.

Baiyue is so easy to fight, so the body poison in the more southern, can you consider it again?

The First Emperor's illusions were soon shattered.

The smile on the corner of his mouth didn't last long.

It was the early summer of the thirty-second year of Qin Shi Huang.

When the First Emperor was preparing to promote Tu Sui to the chief general of the expedition to Yue, and sent Meng Tian to the south to replace Feng Wuxuan in charge of the army.

The envoy who had traveled thousands of miles from the land of Minyue rushed into Xianyang City.

He brought a terrible piece of news.

"General Tu pacified Xiou and killed the king of Xiou to translate Song. Wanting to take advantage of the victory to attack South Vietnam, the South Vietnamese resisted stubbornly when the epidemic occurred, and our army returned with a heavy defeat. On the way, he was ambushed by the Xiouyue people, and General Tu was killed by an arrow. ”

"The Yue people took advantage of the situation to counterattack, our army was defeated, tens of thousands of corpses were bled in ambush, and the rest retreated to Changsha."

"General Feng is a water Gu in the middle of the country, and he is sick on the couch. Shocked to hear that General Tu was dead and defeated, he sat up in shock in his illness and vomited blood and died. ”

When the news reached the Taiwei Mansion, everyone was stunned.

It was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Taiwei Wang Ben's palms trembled in shock, and his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

Tu Sui died.

was ambushed and killed by the Yue people.

Feng Wuxue also died.

Seriously ill, he was shocked to hear the bad news, and in shock, he vomited blood and died on the spot.

Two will die.

The Qin army was defeated.

Especially the Western Route Army, which shed tens of thousands of corpses.

Of the 100,000 Qin troops that Tu Sui brought to the southern expedition, the war soldier Jia Minfu could return to Changsha County alive, but only two or three out of ten.

"Emperor, go crazy."

Wang Ben shuddered, he could already imagine the expression on the First Emperor's face when he received the news.

"Shiruma, send someone to the palace."

Wang Ben threw the military newspaper in his hand to Changshi Shima like a hot potato, he didn't want to go into the palace to face the angry emperor in person.

Sure enough, half an hour later, in the depths of the Qin Palace, an extremely angry voice exploded.

"Dead?"

"Defeated?"

"My army!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

……

In the Fung Mansion.

Feng Jingzheng was playing Qin cards with a few friends with a spring breeze on his face.

Although everyone is in the palace or in various official offices, at the end of the month, they can always find some time to get together, play cards and connect with feelings.

"It's a pity that the eldest chief is sick this time and can't continue to lead the army. Otherwise, with the ability of the great chief, he will definitely be able to completely destroy Baiyue by the end of the year and make immortal achievements. Fortunately, there is a merit in defeating Minyue, and if you want to come back this time, you will definitely be named Lunhou by the emperor. For Brother Feng, it was a happy event. ”

Li Yu and Wang He, two poker friends, congratulated Feng Jing while playing cards.

Feng Jing punched out a 50,000 yuan, and said in his mouth: "It's just like that, the main thing is that my family can come back." When I heard that he was sick in Yuedi, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep day and night. He was able to return to Xianyang this time and cure his illness...... Hey, wait, I'm going to get one! ”

Outside the house, there was a rush of footsteps, approaching quickly.

"Feng Jing! Feng Jing! ”

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Feng Jing's mother, who was frightened at the moment and was hurrying over.

Li Yu and Wang He, as well as Feng Jing's brother, who was accompanying him, hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Mother, why are you so alarmed?"

Feng Jingzheng happily took the cards played by Li Yu, and when he saw his mother coming in, he asked.

The next moment, Feng's mother cried at Feng Jing: "Your father is dead, and you are still playing cards here!" ”

Feng Jing was stunned.

Eight of them slowly slid down to the table.

His eyes were straight and he murmured, "My father, dead?" ”
