The news from the Far South is related to the success or failure of this southern expedition. However, Sima Division returned to the Central Plains, but the news from the Far South was never told to him.
Because of the expedition against Qi Mo, Ying Gao was too busy and it was too early to go south to the extreme south, so he didn't ask. Now, he had to summon Sima Shi.
Only by knowing enough about the situation in the extreme south can we go south this time and win in one battle.
Moreover, Ying Gao knew that once he wasted time on Liangzhou, it meant that he had to speed up the expedition to the extreme south.
Ying Gao didn't know much about the Far South. He only traveled a few times in later generations, but the vicissitudes of his past and present lives were completely different.
The most important thing is that Ying Gao knows that the situation in the extreme south is similar to that of Baiyue, with towering ancient trees, many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and a humid climate with many bacteria. If you are not careful, infectious diseases will break out.
The mountains are steep and the road is rugged and difficult to navigate.
Although Meng Tian went south to coordinate the Chidao project, he knew in his heart that it was too difficult to complete the Chidao project, and even having slaves would not help.
The situation in the extreme south is extremely complex. It is not the enemy that hinders the army's annexation, but the mountains, roads, and climate, which are even more difficult to guard against than the enemy.
It will also make the situation of the officers and soldiers of the three armies of Da Qin even more difficult.
Ying Gao knew in his heart that he had to be fully prepared, otherwise this march south would be like the Qin Empire's first expedition to Baiyue in history.
lost heavily!
Hundreds of thousands of troops died on the land of Baiyue. This was a rare defeat for the Qin Empire.
.........
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Fan Zeng turned and left. He had some understanding of the situation in the extreme south. After all, the Qin Dynasty had occupied Bashu for so long, so it must have penetrated south of Bashu.
However, no one cared about it at that time, but now that Ying Gao's sword is pointing at the Far South, the Qin Dynasty is paying great attention to the Far South. After all, there is no wasteland in the place that Ying Gao wants.
Above Liangzhou, there are not only iron ore veins, but also salt lakes, which not only solved the problem of salt and iron that had always been scarce in the Qin Dynasty, but also domesticated cattle and sheep in the land of Guzang and others.
In this way, Da Qin not only has natural pastures and no shortage of war horses, but Liangzhou can also supply Da Qin with farm cattle and so on.
Only a few people in the Great Qin court knew about Ying Gao's purpose of going south to the extreme south. The remaining people, as well as the major forces among the people of Great Qin, were speculating on the meaning of Ying Gao's move.
And what benefits are there in the extreme south that attract Ying Gao to go there.
The movements of the imperial court had a great impact on the merchants. Ever since the news of Ying Gao's journey to the extreme south spread, the merchants in Da Qin seemed to have gone crazy and headed outside Bashu.
Money moves people's hearts.
Often, as long as it is profit, people can take desperate risks.
Ying Gao sat upright in the study. He didn't care about the kings, but allowed them to walk among the houses and feel the power and culture of the Qin Dynasty.
In Liangzhou, there are few secrets belonging to him.
The kings were eager in their hearts, waiting for the end of Qin's war against Loulan and the Shan Kingdom. Ying Zheng was also waiting for the end of the war against Loulan and the Shan Kingdom.
Waiting for the kings of the Western Regions to enter Guzang...
After Fan Zeng left, Yinggao also pondered for a while. He knew in his heart that Fan Zeng's words were correct. Before fighting against foreign enemies, one must first settle the internal affairs. Only when the internal situation was stable could he go on an unscrupulous conquest.
Once something happens in Liangzhou, other forces will inevitably infiltrate immediately. This is the reason why Fan Zeng and others are opposed.
After all, Fan Zeng and others also want to win high.
Their interests are the same. Only the higher Ying Gao stands, the faster they can climb.
.........
Bailongdui.
Led by the Wan Sheng Army, followed by the Po Army, the army marched towards Loulan Royal City in a mighty manner.
Because Wang Hu and others made a big fanfare and did not hide anything, when the army arrived at Bailongdui, the news had already spread to Loulan Royal City.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Great Qin has raised 80,000 troops and has already passed Bailongdui. Among them is the most elite Wan Sheng Army under the Crown Prince of Great Qin..."
Huiming's eyes were full of solemnity, and he knew in his heart that the Prince of Qin ordered the army to come, so unscrupulously, he must have come with the intention of destroying the country.
"The gap between our army and the Qin army is too big. They are completely different. The prince of Qin is so arrogant and is simply bullying others!" At this moment, King Loulan was furious, but he could not hide the fear deep in his heart.
The war to destroy the country.
King Loulan knew that the Prince of Great Qin was very good at destroying countries. He not only destroyed the Dayue clan and other countries, but also Wusun. Now, the butcher knife of the Prince of Great Qin is already on his neck and will be available at any time.
May fall.
"Minister of State, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
He was terrified in his heart, but King Loulan knew that if this matter was not resolved, the trouble would be too great. He did not want Loulan to destroy the country and become a prisoner of the Qin Dynasty from then on.
"Only by quelling the anger of the Prince of Qin can we, Loulan, avoid the destruction of the country!" Huiming knew clearly that it would be too difficult to calm down this incident after it happened.
Even if it finally subsided, Loulan had to pay an unimaginable price.
"Prime Minister, please go and see in person the generals of the Qin army who are coming this time. I am willing to go to Guzang and participate in the alliance meeting with the kings. I hope Loulan can coexist peacefully with the Qin Dynasty."
At this moment, King Loulan felt a little regretful. If he had known that the Prince of Qin was so domineering and would destroy the country if he disagreed, he would have gone to Guzang long ago.
Instead of sending an envoy.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Huiming turned around and left. He knew in his heart that the Prince of Qin had mobilized 80,000 troops and even sent ten thousand victorious troops, which meant that this matter would never end so easily.
For King Loulan to go to Guzang in person is not worthy of the Qin prince's aggressive war. In Huiming's view, Wansheng's army is here to destroy the country.
When he reached the entrance of the main hall, Huiming turned towards King Loulan and said: "The Qin army is coming fiercely. I'm afraid the attackers are not malicious. Please make preparations in advance!"
After saying that, Hui Ming will not stop.
Watching Huiming leave, King Loulan's expression changed slightly. He could certainly hear the meaning of Huiming's words clearly.
The Qin army is approaching fiercely, so we must prepare for the worst in everything.
As soon as he thought of this, Huo Du, the chamberlain of the Loulan Dynasty, said: "Immediately send an order to assist the princes of the country, recruit all the young people in the country, and quickly integrate into an army to guard against the Qin army!"
"promise."
The King of Loulan knew that the twelve thousand troops in the Loulan Kingdom alone could not resist the Wansheng Army of the Qin Dynasty. He naturally knew the majesty of the Wansheng Army in this land.
At this moment, he could only hope that the prince of Qin had no intention of destroying the country.
