After the Qin army broke the combined forces of Xiou, Luo Yue and the South Vietnamese Tiger Division, they did not pursue deeply, and collected their troops and returned to the camp that night, and strictly guarded against the return of the Yue.

By the next day, the Qin army continued to clean up the battlefield.

Because there was no time yesterday, the military judge only roughly counted the number of war dead and captured, and the specific matters have not yet been completed.

One is to bury the bones of the robes and bones that died in battle, and the second is to confiscate the weapons and armor that can be used on the Yue people who died in battle.

In this era of insufficient productivity, any armor that can be used is a very important property and cannot be easily discarded.

"These things can also be used by you barbarians?"

Peng Yue whispered, trying to remove the bronze sword from the hand of a Yue corpse.

But because the corpse became stiff, he couldn't break it for a while, so he simply drew his sword and cut off the fingers of the corpse at all before he got what he wanted.

Peng Yue held this broken sword of the Qin army's system, and the appearance of his friends who had been recruited south with him before came to mind.

and the tens of thousands of Qin people who lost their teachers here.

"One general is incompetent, killing the three armies. Tu Sui, I'm bah. ”

Peng Yue spat fiercely, venting the anger that had been accumulating in the past two years: "If it weren't for Naigong's fast running, and some survival techniques in the mountains, forests and rivers, I'm afraid I would really be killed here by Tu Sui's husband." ”

"Hehe, such a big grievance?"

A clear voice came from behind him, Peng Yue shuddered, and hurriedly turned around.

When Peng Yue saw the appearance of the visitor, he suddenly secretly screamed "bitter".

"The five doctors, it was all villain nonsense just now, and I ask the five doctors to forgive me."

Peng Yue hurriedly got up and saluted, his expression a little frightened.

With Han Xin's status, if you want to use what Peng Yue just said to punish the crime, it will be miserable.

Han Xin walked over, stretched out his hand and patted Peng Yue's shoulder, and said with a smile: "There is no need to do this, don't talk about you." Even I, Han Xin, can't get used to it, your sentence just now is incompetent, and it's so good to kill the three armies, haha. ”

Seeing Peng Yue looking at him with surprise on his face, Han Xin's face was indifferent.

Yes, since Tu Sui's defeat in the Yue Expedition and the loss of tens of thousands of teachers in Yuedi, he has been nailed to the pillar of shame.

The emperor was furious and directly stripped Tu Sui of all his titles and official positions. Although his family was not killed, he also denounced all the officials and lords in the Tu clan as concubines, which was equivalent to locking up the entire family of the other party.

At the same time, scolding Tu Sui, the general of the defeated army, has also become the political correctness of Daqin. Peng Yue's words were extremely light compared to the insults of the Qin people in Guanzhong.

Peng Yue rubbed his hands, Han Xin praised him like this, he really didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Han Xin was very simple, and then said the purpose of his trip straightforwardly.

"You can take your robe to survive for two years in this barbarian land surrounded by the Yue people, you can be regarded as having some skills, and you will follow me in the future and be a short soldier."

Peng Yue was stunned, and then overjoyed.

He has found out clearly during this time, this young man is a disciple of the martial arts Marquis Zhao Tuo, although he is only in the year of the weak crown, but relying on the merits of capturing the king of Nanyue, he has been awarded the title of five doctors, and his future is immeasurable. And with this kind of character, safety is also guaranteed.

Peng Yue hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "The villain thanks the five doctors, and is willing to die for the five doctors." ”

Seeing this scene, Han Xin nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why he took a lot of trouble to make this Peng Yue his short soldier was because he took a fancy to the other party's two years in Yue and was familiar with the local water and land management.

Han Xin is now only Cao Shen's assistant, but this is actually the general who asked him to accumulate qualifications and experience.

Later, when the Qin army attacked the country in a big way, with Han Xin's title and qualifications, he could lead the troops alone.

Now he is looking for some useful characters first, preparing for the follow-up, and he also wants to build a team of cronies for himself.

"The leader is here, and there is still a warrior left."

……

At noon, Cao Shen, the chief general of the Qin army, held a military meeting.

Several two or five hundred lords under his command asked for orders to take advantage of the situation to enter the Xiou King City.

"The Yue people were broken by the army and fled for their lives. It is a good opportunity for our army to take its royal city in one go. If you can win the king of Xiou and Luo Yue along the way, it will be a great achievement! ”

The generals were in high spirits, including all the soldiers under his command, and they were full of energy.

They had just won a big battle with fewer strikes, and seeing that Luo Yue's powerful war elephant troops had been defeated by them, they naturally had a swelling mentality, feeling that with the sophisticated equipment of the Qin army, they might be able to make a great achievement of destroying the country with 4,000 people.

"After this victory, the sergeants and soldiers of the army have already developed pride, and if they use this state to attack the Yue, they will definitely suffer a crushing defeat."

Cao Shen shook his head secretly and rejected his subordinates' proposal.

He made his attitude clear in public: "The mission of our army is to come to investigate the intelligence of Oudi for the army. Now we have learned about the fact that the South Vietnamese Tiger Department and the Luo Yue people have come to help Xi'ou, and after fighting them, we have found out the situation of the elephant soldiers. The task of this trip has been completed, which is enough to report to the general. As for the rest of the siege, we don't have to worry about it. ”

"Wait until you restrain your soldiers and build a stronghold. And sent people to reconnoiter the rear, and when the road was cleared, he hurried forward to report to the general and wait for the next military order. ”

Seeing that Cao Shen was acting steadily and without any enterprising spirit, the two or five hundred lords regretted in their hearts, and said secretly: "Cao Junhou is too cautious in fighting, and he is far inferior to Han Changshi's good tricks. If Han Changshi comes to lead the army, we can't say that we will be able to make another great achievement. ”

complained in their hearts, and these two or five hundred lords didn't dare to say much, so they were ordered to go down and make arrangements.

When the generals retreated, Cao Shen looked at Han Xin, who was silently watching the military discussion and didn't say a word, and asked with a smile: "Brother Han didn't say a word today?" ”

Han Xin smiled lightly: "Brother Cao must have seen my previous suggestions and thought that I would agree with their proposal to capture the Xi'ou King City." Hehe, I, Han Xin, want to make meritorious contributions, but I am not a reckless person, and I know the general's thoughts, so I don't do this kind of thing. If you really want to fight and make meritorious contributions, when the general conquers Xiou on a large scale, there are many opportunities. ”

Cao Shen glanced at Han Xin with a little surprise.

Han Xin smiled again: "But Brother Cao, when the general conquers Xiou in the second half of the year, I should be able to lead an army alone." But you know that I am young, and I don't have many right-hand men, so it is a little inconvenient to suddenly lead the army into a general. So I want to ask people from you to train and cultivate first, and when the generals are later, there are also some people under my command who can be called. ”

Cao Shen nodded.

As a close confidant of the general, he knew very well that Zhao Tuo loved this disciple, so this kind of convenient thing was naturally no problem.

Cao Shen asked casually, "Who does Brother Han want?" ”

"I want Liu Yu, the warrior who shoots elephants."

Han Xin licked his lips, the heroic scene of Liu Yu throwing a halberd and shooting an elephant that day made him unforgettable.

With this kind of fierce general in his hands, he can play a big role in war.

Compared with Peng Yue, a pawn, Liu Yu is now a doctor, and he can be promoted to an official doctor later. This level of Han Xin is not easy to transfer directly, so he still has to ask Cao Shen for instructions.

"Liu Yu?"

Cao Shen's brows furrowed.

Han Xin was puzzled: "What's the matter, could it be that Brother Cao is reluctant?" ”

Cao Shen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Not really, it's just that this person may have some problems." ”

Han Xin was stunned: "What's the problem?" ”

Cao Shen hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Han Xin was not an outsider, he expressed his suspicions.

"Liu Yu."

Han Xin chewed on the name, and finally said to Cao Shen: "This person is a rare strong man, if he kills him by mistake because of suspicion, it will be a pity." Now that we are in Yuedi, it is difficult to send someone back to Chu to verify his identity. It's better for Brother Cao to give me this person first, and I will distinguish it well, I don't believe that he can hide his identity in front of me. ”

Cao Shen asked, "What if Liu Yu is really that person?" ”

Han Xin said: "Brother Cao, don't worry, I should let him make meritorious contributions to my Great Qin, so as to live up to this person's bravery." If it is finally determined that Liu Yu is really that person, he will kill him when he is finished. ”

Cao Shen thought about it and felt that it was not bad to deal with it this way, so he nodded and agreed.

The corners of Han Xin's mouth hooked slightly.

A guide who is familiar with the geography of the local mountains.

A brave and strong vanguard general.

In addition, he is a commander with a strategy in his chest, and when he leads the troops alone in the second half of the year, he will have the opportunity to make a great contribution.

……

After Cao Shen's side determined the next military policy, he did not continue to go deep into the Yuedi, but built a camp at the border road as a bridgehead for the follow-up army.

After more than half a month, the floodwaters that ravaged South Vietnam finally receded, and the road to Panyu was reopened.

Thirty-four years of Qin Shi Huang, Meng Qiu.

Zhao Tuo, a general in Panyu City, South Vietnam, received a battle report from Xi'ou.
