As soon as Han Xin's words came out, the generals in the handsome tent fell silent.

Some people moved, and some frowned slightly.

Han Xin was young and vigorous, and he didn't care what other people thought, and just said his reasons.

The first reason is that the Nanyue people killed the Minyue king Wuzhu, and then set fire to and looted the royal city, killing a very large number of Minyue people along the way. Coupled with these dozens of hundreds of years of grievances, the current Minyue people hate the South Vietnamese people to the core.

If the Qin army attacked South Vietnam at this time, it would just take advantage of the situation to take the vengeful Minyue people into the army, and use the hatred of the Minyue people to get a thug with not weak combat effectiveness.

The second reason is that the Qin army decided to fight Minyue in the first battle, and the casualties of the soldiers were not many, and the morale was very high. It is precisely with this momentum of destroying the country to attack South Vietnam, which also has the effect of increasing combat effectiveness, and it is "harmony" in the art of war.

At the same time, Han Xin also proposed that the power generated by the First World War to conquer Minyue could be used to deter and divide the various tribes of South Vietnam.

According to the Minyue people who surrendered, the South Vietnamese State was not monolithic.

At the top of it are the powerful Jiaobu, and the slightly weaker Tiger Ministry.

Under the rule of these two cannibal tribes, the other South Vietnamese tribes were deeply oppressed, but they could only bury their heads and be their servants because of their own military inadequacy.

Now that the Qin army has won a great victory in Minyue, its prestige will surely spread to South Vietnam.

If the Qin army took advantage of this time to march into South Vietnam, with the help of the prestige of Dingmin, supplemented by a relaxed autonomy policy, it would definitely be able to win over a group of tribes who were dissatisfied with the Jiao and Tiger tribes, and make them defect to the Qin state.

Han Xin's words made many generals nod their heads in agreement, and the Qin army could indeed gain a lot of advantages by taking advantage of the power of destroying Fujian to attack South Vietnam.

However, there are those who agree, and naturally there are those who oppose it.

Li Shiqi shook his head and said: "What Han Changshi said naturally makes sense, but now that the time has entered December, in another month, Yuedi will gradually enter the rainy season." If our army attacked South Vietnam at this time, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not suffer from epidemics due to the arrival of the rainy season. Therefore, the contemptible people think that it is better to settle the army here first, appease Minyue, and consolidate the results of this battle, and then consider attacking South Vietnam. ”

Han Xin hurriedly said: "But the general already has a way to deal with epidemics and water Gu, so there is no need to worry about this matter." And I've inquired that although the rainy season begins in January and February, the hottest and most difficult time is in June and July. Before that, even if our army could not take South Vietnam, it would be able to deal a blow to the South Vietnamese and force some South Vietnamese tribes to defect to us. ”

After Han Xin's words came out, no one spoke again, not even Li Shiqi, who had opposing opinions, kept silent.

The incident involved the anti-epidemic drugs made by the general.

There must be no doubt that the general's medicine cannot deal with the epidemic, right?

Zhao Tuo glanced at Han Xin, who had a smug face, and shook his head with a smile.

He understood why Han Shin didn't think about the epidemic anymore.

It is probably because Han Xin has a mysterious belief in himself, a general, that the medicine that Zhao Tuo made can completely prevent and treat possible epidemic problems.

So after putting this problem aside, it was indeed a good choice for the Qin army to march into South Vietnam at this time.

"Young man."

Zhao Tuo sighed secretly.

Compared to Han Xin's superstitious beliefs, he actually didn't have much confidence in himself.

Wormwood and artemisia grass can treat some minor ailments and some non-serious parasite problems. If there is a large-scale epidemic, it will not be of much use.

The epidemic problem, even after another 2,000 years, will still be difficult to solve.

Zhao Tuo turned his head to look at Yin Tong next to him.

Among his lieutenant generals, Meng Tian and Yin Tong were the most, Meng Tian sat in Lujiang County, dispatched the people to assist the people to transfer grain and straw, and had a heavy responsibility, so he was not around.

Zhao Tuo asked: "General Yin is a veteran of the Southern Expedition, I don't know what to suggest?" ”

Yin Tong is a middle-aged man with a mustache.

His brother Yin Chang was a Shaofu Tongcheng, who had designed a plan for the dragon pattern coin developed by Zhao Tuo, and was Zhao Tuo's old subordinate. With this relationship, Yin Tong became more intimate with Zhao Tuo in awe.

He hesitated slightly, and then said: "The last general thinks that although the Minyue tribes belong to my Great Qin, in fact, these Yue people are capricious and should not be taken lightly. If our army rushes to attack South Vietnam and encounters a slight setback, the people of Minyue will inevitably have other thoughts in their hearts. Therefore, the general thought that it would be better for our army to consolidate Minyue first, and then slowly attack South Vietnam. ”

Yin Tong's worries were justified, he just wasn't embarrassed to take the last Qin-Yue War as an example.

The Qin army led by Feng Wuxue also rushed down to Minyue, and many Minyue tribes surrendered to the Qin army.

However, with the defeat of the Qin army in the battle, the Qin army on the western route was defeated, and the Su Wuzhu and the South Vietnamese took advantage of the situation to kill. Those Minyue tribes who originally joined the Qin army all began to turn against the water.

It happened that Feng Wuxuan died of illness, and Yin Tong felt deeply pressured, so he could only lead his army to retreat to Lujiang, and was also harassed and attacked by many Minyue tribes on the way.

Therefore, Yin Tong expressed doubts about the loyalty of these Minyue people, believing that it was better for the Qin army to stabilize Minyue first and then attack South Vietnam.

Zhao Tuo nodded: "What General Yin said is reasonable. ”

Although there is the target of hatred of the South Vietnamese people on the opposite side, the Qin army and the Minyue people are not the same ethnic group after all, and they are very different in terms of customs and concepts, and it is very easy to have contradictions, so they must guard against it.

A hasty attack on South Vietnam was tantamount to burying a big hidden danger in the rear. It would not be too late to attack South Vietnam after spending a lot of time establishing initial rule in Minyue and controlling all important checkpoints and arteries.

However, there is some truth in what Han Shin said about taking advantage of the situation to attack South Vietnam.

Zhao Tuo thought about it for a while, and then made up his mind.

Only children do multiple-choice questions.

He, a general, naturally wants them all.

"The army temporarily stayed in Minyue, built a city here as a fortress, and guarded all the main roads in Minyue, first controlled Minyue, and then talked about the large-scale conquest of South Vietnam."

Han Xin's eyes darkened.

The general chose a steady style of play, doesn't that mean that he Han Xin can't make meritorious contributions for at least nearly a year?

At this moment, Zhao Tuo's voice came into Han Xin's ears.

"However, the South Vietnamese barbarians killed my envoy, and they should not be let go easily. I was appointed as a general, led thousands of divisions, and recruited Minyue warriors to invade South Vietnam, and contacted the local Nanyue tribes who were interested in joining my Qin state. ”

Zhao Tuo's gaze swept over the figures of the generals.

In addition to Yin Tong and several generals, there were also cronies and generals he specially recruited when he went south.

For example, Fan Hao and Cao Shen.

Fan Xu's eyes widened, looking at Zhao Tuo with a longing face, and he just had to say: "General, choose me, choose me!" ”

Zhao Tuo swept over, and his gaze finally fell on Cao Shen.

Fan Hao is a fierce general, but he is inferior to Cao Shen in terms of stability and strategy.

"Led by the five doctors, Cao Shen."

"Han Changshi Fuzhi."

Cao Shen's face was solemn, and he immediately stepped forward to receive the order: "The last general, Cao Shen, will not live up to the general's military orders." ”

Han Xin was stunned, and then overjoyed.

He is only eighteen years old this year, and he has no title or official position, nor does he have the authority to lead troops.

The so-called long history is the staff position that the general recruited, which allowed him to speak and offer advice in the commander's tent.

But the staff is only a staff member after all, and he has no real power to lead the troops into battle, which makes Han Xin feel depressed all the time, and he feels that it is difficult to show his strengths.

Now the general ordered Cao Shen to lead the division to attack Minyue, and let him go to assist, which is to give himself a chance to go into battle and make meritorious contributions!

Although he is not the main general, he is also the number two person, how can he not make Han Xin happy.

"This time it's just a support, as long as I can play a good record in this battle, I can't say that I can lead the army alone in the future!"

Han Xin's confidence was surging, and he stepped forward and said loudly: "Han Xin will live up to the general's expectations, and he will definitely make those South Vietnamese barbarians live in peace day and night." ”

Listening to Han Xin's bold words, Zhao Tuo smiled faintly.

The current situation is that the rainy season in Viet Nam is coming, and Minyue has just been conquered and is not stable, so it is not suitable to immediately send a large army to attack South Vietnam.

However, it was not possible for the army to advance westward, and it was not a big problem to send a detachment of several thousand people plus the Minyue people who had joined them to harass South Vietnam.

With fewer troops, there will be less logistical pressure and more tactical flexibility.

Han Xin's strategy of taking advantage of the momentum of Fujian to win over and divide the South Vietnamese tribes was actually feasible, so Zhao Tuo simply sent him out for training.

However, although Han Xin is highly talented, he is a hot-blooded young man who has just come out, so Zhao Tuo arranged for Cao Shen to take him.

Cao Shen had participated in the Northern Expedition to the grassland and the conquest of Haidong, and was a veteran of the battlefield with rich experience.

With Cao Shen leading the team and Han Xin as the auxiliary, the configuration of this team is very perfect.

"This partial division can be used as a special force to adapt to the southern environment, so that they can train their hands with the South Vietnamese. After Minyue settles down, I will attack South Vietnam with a large army, which can be the vanguard! ”
