The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is familiar to me in the past. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as the fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue.
However, it was the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty that was so picturesque, but south of the Yangtze River in the Qin Empire today is endless hills and jungles.
Hu Hai led the Sirius Army and marched for more than two months along the straight road that Qin had built with huge manpower and financial resources before reaching the border of the empire - Guilin County.
According to the previous agreement between Lin Ze and Hu Hai, the army will camp in Guilin County until Lin Ze returns and the two sides meet up before officially entering South Vietnam.
Along the way, Hu Hai and Chen Ping completely followed Lin Ze's instructions before leaving. They either tried every means to train the Sirius Army as a whole, or went to trouble bandits and robbers in various places. From time to time, they formulated a "bandit suppression plan".
By delaying the time to reach the battlefield, the Sirius army can be made as elite as possible.
After all, Hu Hai was a noble son of the Qin Dynasty, so the governors of various provinces and governors of various counties along the way still entertained him very enthusiastically with banquets and even gave him various gifts.
When dealing with officials from various places, Hu Hai became more cautious after learning from Fusu's mistakes. He would eat and drink when he should, and he would accept all the treasures given by others. But when it came to some specific matters, he would pretend to be stupid.
No, anyway, just eat and drink, pat your butt and leave.
Until the army arrived in Guilin, if the treasures, treasures and other items collected by Hu Haiguang were sold, they would be enough to feed the Sirius army for several years. Of course, Hu Hai planned to keep most of the good things for himself, and he also took out some of them.
Part of it is used as a reward for meritorious personnel in the Sirius Army.
When this news spread to the entire army, the entire Sirius army was salivating over the treasure. They wished they could immediately enter South Vietnam, make immortal contributions, and obtain the treasure.
Hu Haigang had just set up camp in Guilin for two days when soldiers came over to report: "Inform the young master, an army of about 500 people has arrived outside the camp. The leader claims to be the special envoy of the Marquis of Longchuan, and has been ordered to invite the young master to join the expedition to the southern Baiyue Prefecture.
Get together."
Hu Hai couldn't help but think for a moment: As early as ten years ago, the Great Qin defeated the Baiyue allied forces in one fell swoop and pursued them for hundreds of miles, killing hundreds of Baiyue tribes. At the same time, in order to preserve and expand the results of the war, it conquered the southern Baiyue Mansion.
Then it moved south, and now it has penetrated deep into the heart of South Vietnam to intimidate the Baiyue tribe deep in the jungle.
If he accepted the invitation and followed the Zhengnan Baiyue Mansion, wouldn't he have entered the land of Baiyue? Hu Hai clearly remembered that Lin Ze told him that before he came, try not to enter the land of Nanyue.
Moreover, after entering the land of Baiyue, the Sirius army had to go out to fight. Hu Hai was still somewhat self-aware of his command. Without Lin Ze by his side, he was unsure.
Hu Hai summoned Chen Pingping, an important general, and after explaining the matter, he asked: "The military adviser has said that if he does not arrive, the Tianlang Army will not enter Baiyue. Now that Longchuan Marquis invites him, what do you think?"
Zhang Han, Li Xin and other generals, under the clamor of the soldiers, were so confident that they had long wanted to go to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds, so much so that they even forgot about Lin Ze's terror.
Li Xin was the first to stand up and encourage: "Young Master, after a long period of military training, the soldiers have been on the alert, and their morale is like a rainbow. As the saying goes, if you make a strong effort, it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. Lin Ze has been away from the military camp for a long time and does not know the details of the army. How can he do it?
Predicting what will happen next? I think we'd better go."
Zhang Han also followed up and said: "The Marquis of Longchuan has been deeply rooted in South Vietnam for a long time. Although the young master has a noble status, after all, he is fighting on his territory, so it is better to accept the invitation."
Hu Hai couldn't deny it and looked at the other generals expressionlessly. Yu Ziqi and others also agreed to accept the invitation, and then with the help of Longchuan Marquis, they conquered Baiyue's disobedient disciples as soon as possible to make great achievements.
Seal your wife as your shadow.
The unanimous request of all the generals to fight made Hu Hai hesitate. He couldn't help but look at Chen Ping, Lin Ze's designated successor, and asked, "What do you think, Military Master Chen?"
Chen Ping admired his junior uncle very much, and naturally wanted to wait for him to come, so he replied: "Uncle has always planned far-reaching plans. Uncle has explained it, but none of you here are as talented as him. Master
Why don't you find an excuse to shirk it?"
These words caused the generals to look at each other angrily. How could we be any worse than him, Lin Ze? Just as he was about to say more, Chen Ping silently took out the token that Lin Ze gave to his law enforcement officer.
The generals couldn't help but feel a little itchy. Chen Ping had not learned anything else, but he had learned Lin Ze's perverted punishments. On the first day after Lin Ze left, some people were indeed dissatisfied with him and deliberately provoked trouble.
The consequences are also obvious. There are many large flagpoles in the camp, which are more than enough to hang a few people.
Hu Hai still trusted Lin Ze in his heart. Seeing what Chen Ping said, he asked, "How will Marquis Longchuan respond?"
Chen Ping said with a natural expression: "The army is sick and it is not appropriate to move forward."
Hu Hai put his palms together and praised: "Great kindness."
When Hu Hai asked the palace guards to tell the special envoy sent by Zhao Tuo, the army was not acclimated to the climate and many soldiers had fallen ill. It was impossible to go any further and needed a period of rest before going to conquer the southern Baiyue Mansion to pay homage to Marquis Longchuan.
The special envoy did not seem to be surprised that Hu Hai would give such a reply. Instead, he said to the palace guard: "Since my Marquis asked us to pick up Young Master Hu Hai, there is no reason to return empty-handed. The general is willing to set up camp nearby and wait for Sirius.
After the army has rested, we can set off together again."
"As for my Marquis, I would like to trouble you to send you a personal letter, explaining that the situation is indeed caused by the inconvenience for the army to move forward, rather than the general's inability to do things."
After the palace guard conveyed the envoy's intention, Hu Hai simply wrote a letter as Chen Ping said and asked the envoy to arrange for someone to send it to Zhao Tuo.
In the following days, the envoy came to "report" on time every day and asked about the situation of the Sirius Army. Although the answer was the same every time, he was not annoyed or studied in detail. After getting the answer, he returned to his camp and continued to wait.
This illness lasted for more than a month.
In the spring of March, when the spring rain continued, Lin Ze led a group of six people (the scorching sun had returned), braved heavy rain and light rain, changed horses countless times along the way, and arrived in Guilin County after two months.
Lin Ze did not go directly to the Sirius Army camp, but took the Fourth Elder of Fang Xiandao and Han Xin to the Huajiang River near the camp.
The Huajiang River has received countless rainwater, and the water level has reached the highest level in the year, almost overflowing the river embankment.
Lin Ze found a fisherman, used fifty gold to cover his fishing boat for two days, and then fished on his own.
Han Xin asked inexplicably: "Why didn't the military advisor go back to the Sirius Army camp? Why did you stay here?"
Lin Ze responded with a smile: "Don't be impatient. I have my own thoughts. If you have nothing to do, you can go fishing together." Han Xin could not hold his breath and fiddled with the fishing rod by himself.
When it got dark, Lin Ze took the two elders Qingfeng Mingyue and gathered together to mutter a few words. The two elders looked at each other with strange expressions, then left in the dark, and returned half a quarter of an hour later, and nodded at Lin Ze.
nodded.
After Lin Ze received the response, he happily took the fish caught during the day and made fish soup.
At this time, the water quality of the Huajiang River was infinitely better than that of the polluted rivers of later generations, so the fish soup tasted extremely delicious after adding fishy medicinal materials and a little salt in Linze.
Lin Ze invited Han Xin to finish the fish soup together, and after eating all the fish meat, he said: "Let's go to the Sirius Army camp."
At this time, the Sirius Army camp was already in a mess. I don't know what happened, but suddenly the camp was flooded with water. In less than a quarter of an hour, the water became more and more until it reached the knees.
After experiencing many night attacks, the soldiers of the Sirius Army were as steady as an old dog. First they quickly put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and then gathered at their team's scheduled assembly point in an orderly manner.
Each of the five hundred leaders also responded quickly. While gathering their subordinates, they sent people to report to Hu Hai.
Chen Ping rushed to Hu Hai's camp as soon as possible and said to Hu Hai: "The camp is flooded for no reason. Please order the rescue of food, grass and clothing first, and then ask the soldiers to help the civilians move the camp to the hillside. Two more teams from the conservative camp will be deployed.
The team will guard the new camp and the law enforcement team will maintain order."
Hu Hai asked: "The camp is flooded for no reason. Aren't you worried about who did it? Are you going to attack our army?"
Chen Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Who else could it be? It must be our uncle who is here to test us. This happened. As the acting military advisor, I seriously neglected my duty. I'm afraid I won't be able to do well."
Hu Hai said in surprise: "Is Lin Ze really here? This guy didn't come to see me first. Instead, he hid in the dark and played dirty tricks."
Lin Ze stood on a hillside not far from the military camp, observing the reaction in the camp. When he saw the unhurried camp, he smiled and asked Han Xin beside him: "Do you have the confidence to lead such an army?"
