Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 177: Battle of Yue

After explaining the situation in the land of Baiyue to the two generals in detail, Zi Tu left the tent.

What happened next was not something that a small caravan manager like him could be involved in.

Inside the big tent, Wang Jian and Tu Sui looked stern after Zi Tu left.

"It seems that the land of Baiyue is not easy to conquer."

Tu Sui sighed.

Wang Jian nodded in agreement, stroking the sharp sword at his waist: "Now we have learned a little about the situation in the Baiyue land, and we have those secret weapons."

"Humph, even if the Baiyue people don't surrender, they will surrender."

"Hahaha, General Wang Jian is right. We still have a secret treasure this time."

There was a smile on Tu Sui's rough face, and he held the sword at his waist in his hand.

"In that case, how about General Wang Jian and I split up into two groups?"

Wang Jian looked up at Tu Sui and they saw the same thing.

The two generals smiled at each other and began to discuss strategy.

"According to what that Zi Tu said, Ouyue and Minyue are relatively easy to conquer."

"So, General Tu Sui will lead an army of 150,000 to attack these two places."

"I will lead an army of 150,000 to attack the land of South Vietnam."

"When our two armies meet, the land of Nanyue will surely be in the hands of our Qin army."

"However, the soldiers have been suffering from acclimatization problems these days. Let everyone rest for a month, and then I will lead the troops to attack Ouyue directly."

After the two generals reached an agreement, they left to check the situation in the army.

At this time, the Yue people on the other side did not know that a large army was coming.

They had just exchanged the items they needed with the caravan and also inquired about some things about the Qin State.

I was just thinking about what they could exchange for the next time the caravan came.

A month later, when the Yue people were still struggling for their livelihood, a large number of Qin troops had crossed the mountains and arrived before them.

When the tribal leaders received the news, they quickly called the men in the tribe to take weapons and prepare to repel the army.

Qin history records: In the 20th year of Zheng, Your Majesty sent Generals Wang Jian and Tu Sui to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the land of Baiyue.

At this time, a conspiracy was quietly taking place in Xianyang City.

"Is this true?"

"Of course, that gentleman said he could solve it for us."

As he spoke, the man in the dark blue robe raised his hand and made a gesture.

After hearing this, the man opposite seemed to be thinking about something.

"What are you still thinking about? Don't miss this opportunity."

Despite this, the man was still a little hesitant.

"This, that's not an ordinary person."

"Humph. He is not an ordinary person, and so are we!"

"Look at what kind of life I've been waiting for now."

"If it weren't for his meddling, we wouldn't be here."

These words successfully resonated with the man, who slammed his palm on the table.

"Okay, I'll arrange some personnel right away."

"But it's not enough for just you and me to do this."

"Of course. I'll contact the others right away."

"Don't worry, there are many people who don't want him to live."

After saying that, the man stood up and left.

"Snapped"

"My Lord, I am here. Please sit down here."

Qingque hurriedly helped Zhang Yuanqing up and let him sit on the chair on the other side.

Ah Da walked in upon hearing the noise and said, "My Lord, there are some water stains on your clothes. Go change into clean clothes."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the stain on the hem of his clothes.

Get up and leave with Ada.

Ah Da respectfully took out a brand new sky-blue robe from the closet.

This color looks best on the Marquis.

Ever since the cloth came in this color, Qingque asked the embroiderer to make many robes of this color for the Marquis.

There is no repetition in any season.

With Ada's help, Zhang Yuanqing quickly changed his clothes and put on a pair of shoes.

When the two came to the study again, Qingque had already cleaned up the water stains on the floor.

The tea was also replaced with new one.

"Has anything happened in Xianyang City recently?"

Zhang Yuanqing sat down and drank some tea.

Now that the weather is getting colder, Qingque has already placed a brazier in the study.

"My Lord, ever since those nobles were forcibly sent to the military camp by His Majesty and the Crown Prince, Xianyang City has become much quieter."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"Be careful about the safety of the mansion and don't let anyone in."

"promise."

A Da then left. They did not dare to be careless about the safety of the Marquis.

For the next period of time, except for attending court, Zhang Yuanqing spent the rest of his time copying books in the mansion.

Of the several books in the system space, only the last one, "Dream Stream Essays", remains.

The information recorded in this book is very comprehensive, but some of it is of no use to the current Qin State.

Zhang Yuanqing copied and screened at the same time.

He divided the "Dream Pool Essays" into several books.

Until winter passes and the weather gets warmer.

Zhang Yuanqing rubbed his sore wrist and looked at the books on the desk.

This is satisfactory.

"Ada."

"Master Hou."

“Get all of this printed.”

"promise."

After Ada left, Zhang Yuanqing also prepared to take a rest.

The sun was shining brightly today, and Zhang Yuanqing lay on the lounge chair under the old tree again, rocking leisurely.

The land of Baiyue was not as peaceful as Xianyang.

"General, those Yue people are very fierce and familiar with the terrain here. We have already lost more than 8,000 people."

This was the worst defeat Qin had ever suffered since it sent troops.

Tu Sui's eyes were bloodshot and veins bulged on his hand holding the sword.

In just over ten days, so many people were killed.

"Put aside the military deployment and send people to survey the terrain."

"promise."

After more than ten days and countless scouts were sent out, they finally figured out the hiding places of the Yue people.

At that moment, Tu Sui summoned other generals to discuss the matter.

"Li Xin, tomorrow you will lead 20,000 soldiers to lure the Yue people out from here."

"Don't fight too long, just lure them out."

"promise."

"Ren Qi, you lead your troops to ambush on this mountaintop. I will give you some magical weapons. When the Yue people come out, blow them up for me."

"Zhao Tuo, you..."

"Yang Ruihe, ..."

After quickly arranging the strategy, Tu Sui left Ren Qi behind when everyone else left.

"You are the future."

"promise."

Wang Jian and Tu Sui each took half of the gunpowder brought this time.

Now the army only knows that His Majesty gave the general a batch of magical artifacts, but no one knows what they are.

"General."

"Is anyone coming today?"

"Nothing."

Knowing that no one came to inquire about the gunpowder, Tu Sui nodded and walked in with Ren Qi.

After entering, Tu Sui opened a box personally.

All that catches the eye are black bumps.

Ren Qi looked at it curiously, but couldn't see anything.

Is this the divine weapon that His Majesty asked the general to bring?

"Don't underestimate these things. If one of them is accidentally ignited, this tent will be blown to pieces."

Tu Sui carefully picked up one and explained to Ren Qi in detail how to use gunpowder.

Ren Qi was confused when he heard it.

Are these little bumps really as powerful as the general said?

"Don't underestimate these. This general has personally tested the power of these black lumps."

"You will understand on the battlefield tomorrow that I will not joke with the lives of my Qin soldiers."
