"After General Tu booby-trapped Song and captured Xiou, he didn't care about the Ou people who fled into the mountains and forests, and directly sent troops to attack South Vietnam. As a result, we were still halfway through, and many people in the army were infected with the epidemic. Alas, don't you know that when you were in a hurry in the mountains and forests, every mile you walked, someone would not be able to hold on and fall down. ”

Peng Yue said this, with a look of fear on his face.

The Qin people gathered around all took a breath of cool air.

Compared to being killed after fighting with the Yue, the scene of an epidemic in the army and a person falling for a while is even more terrifying and terrifying, because you have no idea if you will be the next one to fall.

A Qin pawn under Liu Bang whispered: "Fortunately, we came with the general." The general has great powers, and he has come up with medicines that can treat epidemics and water Gu in advance, and he has also isolated the infected people in time, so that there is no epidemic spreading around, which is really lucky. ”

Peng Yue glanced at him enviously, from the brief conversation just now, he already knew that the leader of this new Qin army was the famous martial arts marquis Zhao Tuo, and he was very envious and jealous in his heart.

After envy, Peng Yue sighed again and said: "As soon as we entered South Vietnam with General Tu, we encountered an ambush by the South Vietnamese, coupled with the problem of epidemics, our army suffered successive defeats and many people died. General Tu gave up continuing the attack on South Vietnam and ordered a retreat to Theou. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that on the way back, we were ambushed by those Ou people, General Tu was killed by the Ou people, our army was in chaos, and there were South Vietnamese people chasing after us in the rear. In order to save our lives, we can only flee into the mountains and forests to avoid the pursuit of the Yue people. This hiding is more than two years! ”

Speaking of this, Peng Yue couldn't help but shed tears.

A dozen of his robes also began to cry.

From the thirty-second year of Qin Shi Huang, Feng Wuxue and Tu Sui led the army to conquer Baiyue, to the thirty-fourth year of Qin Shi Huang, two full years have passed.

These Qin people survived for more than two years in the mountains and forests surrounded by the Yue people, and they were not killed by the Yue people, nor did they die because of the environment, which can be called a miracle.

In such a scene, even the cold-faced Xiang Ji couldn't help but be moved, and praised: "You are all good strong men!" ”

"It's not our ability, it's Peng Yue's power! If it weren't for Peng Yue, I'm afraid we would have been buried in this wilderness like other robes. ”

Those surviving Qin soldiers spoke one after another, and almost all of them put the credit on the head of Peng Yue, who took the lead.

As they narrated, the various scenes of these Qin soldiers struggling to survive in Yue were also sketched out in the minds of Xiang Ji and Liu Bang.

It turned out that the Qin army was ambushed by Xiou and was besieged by the South Vietnamese, and some of them, under the leadership of the deputy general Wang Bao, retreated back to Changsha County along the way they came.

However, there were still many Qin soldiers who fled into the mountains and forests in order to survive in the chaos and were separated from the army.

Or because of the loss of the guide, they fell into a state of getting lost, and ended up stranded in the mountains and forests.

At that time, the large army of the Qin army had withdrawn, and they could not find a way back for the Qin soldiers, and the strongholds in the front and rear had been reoccupied by the Yue, and the way back was cut off.

They had no choice but to stay in Yue to survive, hoping to be able to survive the Qin army to attack Yue again.

These surviving Qin soldiers said that their army had six or seven hundred men at the beginning, and under the leadership of two two or five hundred lords, they were guarding a hill.

It didn't take long for the Ou and South Vietnamese to surround them and engage them in the jungle.

Because the Qin army was newly defeated, the people were demoralized, and the supplies were almost completely lost, and they were besieged by thousands of Yue troops, and they were quickly defeated.

Two two or five hundred lords were killed one after another, and the rest of the Qin people scattered and fled for their lives.

Most of the Qin soldiers were farmers from the Central Plains, who had little ability to survive in the southern mountains and forests, and after the fiasco, they were either hunted one by one by the Yue people as prey, or they died of epidemics or lack of food.

Only more than 30 people, under the leadership of Peng Yue, escaped the pursuit of the Yue people.

The Yue land is vast, the mountains and forests are everywhere, and the number of the Yue people in the West Ou is not large, as long as these Qin soldiers do not operate in the core residential areas of the Ou people, it is still easy to hide their whereabouts.

"I used to be a fisherman in Junozawa, and I know a lot about survival techniques in the wild, so I can bring everyone to survive. However, this Nanyue Land is not the same as Ju Yeze, and the people who fled into the forest with me died more than a dozen later, and the rest barely survived until now. Thanks to you, otherwise we might not have lasted long. ”

In the face of everyone's praise, Peng Yue spoke modestly.

Liu Bang was amazed: "You can take so many people to live in the forest for two years, such an ability is really admirable." If I survive in this forest, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive even half a year. ”

Compared with Liu Bang's admiration, Xiang Ji stared at Peng Yue with blazing eyes: "Since you have been in this forest for more than two years, can you be familiar with the surrounding mountains and rivers, as well as the distribution of Yue people?" ”

Peng Yue was stared at by the double pupils, and his heart was a little hairy, and he said secretly: "What scary eyes, why does this guy look so strange." ”

Complaining in his heart, Peng Yue replied: "Back to the Shangguan, we often forage in the mountains and forests, and I have the general terrain within a radius of dozens of miles in my heart, and we have also watched some Yue villages from a distance and know the approximate location." ”

"Good!"

Xiang Ji was overjoyed and said, "Come back with me, the great work is coming!" ”

……

In the temporary camp of the Qin army.

The main general, Cao Shen, frowned, and took the map in his hand and looked at it over and over again.

It's not a good situation.

As a special legion to explore the way for the army and reconnoiter the movements of Xiou, after the five thousand of them entered Xiou, they first had a confrontation with a tribe of the Ou people and leaked their traces. This is still in the second, the South Vietnamese Tiger Department of A Tu Gu led the people to Xi'ou, the Yue people in Xi'ou have long been guarding against the invasion of the Qin army, and it is a matter of time before Cao's department is exposed.

This was nothing, if the Ou people sent a large army to attack, they would retreat to the direction of South Vietnam.

But they did not expect that the rainy season in South Vietnam was far more terrifying than they thought, and as soon as the flood season came, the rear roads were directly flooded, and they were not passable at all, and even reinforcements and logistics could not come, and it would take at least half a month or even a month before the roads could be reopened, depending on the situation. And it's only possible, after all, no one knows if it will continue to rain in the future.

This put the Qin army led by Cao Shen into a very embarrassing situation. There were a large number of Ou people in front, and the road to South Vietnam in the rear was cut off because of the flood season, and if the Western Ou army besieged them, they would not even have a way to retreat.

In addition, they are also in a crisis of food shortages.

An army of more than 4,000 or close to 5,000 people consumes a lot of food every day, which is not a small amount.

"What do I do next?"

Just when Cao Shen lowered his head and was thinking hard about how to break the game, there was a brisk footstep outside the tent.

Cao Shen looked up and saw Han Xin with a happy face.

"Brother Cao! Happy event, big happy event! ”

Cao Shen looked over in confusion.

Before he could speak, Han Xin had already said like a cannon: "Brother Cao, just now a team of our army went out to look for food and met an old soldier who accompanied General Tu to the south to conquer Xiou!" They lived here for two whole years! ”

"An old pawn from two years ago?"

Cao Shen was surprised: "It's amazing that there are Qin people who can support Yue for two years and haven't been killed by those Yue people." ”

"Brother Cao, that's not the point!"

Han Xin said excitedly: "The point is that these people have accompanied General Tu on the southern expedition and know the geographical information along the way. They have lived in the vicinity for another two years, and they are well aware of the terrain within a radius of tens of miles, as well as the distribution of Yue villages. With them leading the way, we can attack those Yue villages and grab food from the Yue people! ”

……

Outside the city of Xiou King.

Alamo, the king of Xiou, dressed up, wearing a green hat similar to a frog on his head and a spotted feather coat on his body, waited patiently with a group of Xiou nobles.

Next to Alamo, there was a group of South Vietnamese with tiger stripes on their faces, looking equally hopefully.

Soon, a loud roar came from that direction.

If a person lies on the ground, he can still feel the sound of tremors coming from the earth.

It's as if a giant beast is approaching.
