Mei Jun, the commander-in-chief of the South Vietnamese Army, looked at the scouts kneeling in front of him, frowned and said, "Did the Qin people send people to attack the border again?"
The scout commander replied loudly: "Reporting to the chief, when some beast-blooded warriors were hunting, they saw the figures of Qin soldiers in the mountains and forests near Huize County."
"The Black Bear Tribe, which had newly moved to Huize County, received the news and immediately arranged for five Golden Feather warriors to investigate. In a valley, they found that there were at least 20,000 Qin troops hiding there."
"The Black Bear tribe only has more than 3,000 warriors, and they will definitely not be able to stop the Qin army, so they sent someone to deliver a message, hoping that the big leader could send someone to help them repel the Qin army."
Mei Jun was very angry and said: "Some time ago, 10,000 Qin people attacked Yongren County. Our warriors rose up to resist, resulting in more than 500 casualties."
"Within a few days, the Qin people sent another 20,000 people to attack Huize County. Are the Qin people relying on their large numbers to entangle them forever?"
"If this continues, all the 200,000 warriors from Nanzhao who have moved to this land will one day die at the hands of the Qin people. They deserve to die."
The scout couldn't help but said: "Big Chief, why don't we go back to Nanzhao? Although there is more food here than Nanzhao and the mountains and forests are safer than Nanzhao, at least we don't have to face the terrible Qin people."
Mei Jun's face changed suddenly when he heard this and said: "You can't go back. The goddess once said that the reason why the Qin people are powerful is because they occupy the most fertile land in the world and can obtain sufficient food to feed a large number of people."
"Nanzhao is just the opposite. It has no fertile land and lacks food to fill its stomach. It can only survive by fighting wild beasts."
"The goddess said that now that the Qin people are at odds and killing each other, it is the time for Nanzhao to seize the Qin people's fertile land."
"Only in this way can Nanzhao become stronger, do you understand? This land is occupied by the goddess after all the hard work, so we cannot retreat."
"With the protection of the gods, the people of Nanzhao will definitely become the most powerful beings in the world."
After hearing the words of his leader, the scout felt his blood boiling all over and shouted: "God bless you."
After the excitement, the scout military commander asked: "Big Chief, how should we deal with the Qin people hiding near Huize County?"
Mei Jun said with a serious face: "The Qin people came 20,000, and the Nanzhao warriors came 30,000. I gave them a painful lesson and made them afraid to come again."
The scout military commander said with enthusiasm: "The great leader is mighty, Nanzhao is mighty."
Following Mei Jun's order, 30,000 South Vietnamese troops left Wuding Camp and headed straight for Huize County in the northeast.
…
A quarter of an hour later, the scouts rushed into the general's camp with an eager look on their faces: "The chief is not in good condition. The warriors stationed in Yongren County sent a message saying that 10,000 Qin troops suddenly went south. The situation is critical. I implore the chief to send someone quickly.
Rescue.”
Qin people also appeared in Yongren County?
Mei Jun felt uneasy for no reason. Could the Qin people have some conspiracy?
Seeing that his leader was stunned and silent, the scouts couldn't help but ask: "Big leader, do you want to send someone to rescue him?"
Mei Jun came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not urgent. Let's find out first. Are there any other unusual moves by the Qin people? I suspect that the Qin people have a conspiracy, so we should not act rashly."
The scout was stunned for a moment and replied, "I'll go find out more about it right now."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the scout returned to the camp, knelt down and worshiped: "Report to the chief, and monitor the reports of the warriors in the Qin Army camp opposite. There is no abnormal movement in the Qin Army camp."
"Other than that, no other Qin people were seen near Huize and Yongren. Based on this, it can be inferred that the Qin people's border attack this time is no different from the past."
Mei Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but the uneasy feeling still did not dissipate.
Upon seeing this, the scouts said anxiously: "If the chief doesn't intend to rescue Yongren, can you order them to withdraw first?"
Mei Jun hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "We can't withdraw. If we withdraw, we may lose this fertile land. For the sake of Nanzhao's prosperity, we must not retreat easily."
"Arrange 10,000 warriors to support Yongren and closely monitor the situation in the Qin camp opposite. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."
The scout and military commander gently knelt his head on the ground, got up from the ground and said, "Young man, I obey."
…
Three hundred miles away from the Nanyue camp, in a valley in Shu, a Western Qin camp stands in it.
Hundreds of Western Qin scouts with branches and grass hanging on their bodies came in and out, delivering various messages.
In the commander's tent in the center of the camp, Han Xin and Li Xin sat in order, sometimes opening a piece of information brought back by the scouts, sometimes looking at the map, and secretly weighing it.
After a while, Han Xin said with a relaxed smile on his face: "I didn't expect the South Vietnamese coach to divide his troops so hastily, but it saved me a lot of energy."
Li Xin flattered him calmly and said: "No matter how cunning the other party is, they can't escape from the hands of the Marquis of Sishui, so why should the Marquis of Sishui sigh?"
Han Xin replied with a smile: "Thanks to General Li's hard work here, my plan is so smooth. If we can take back the three provinces of Nanyun, I will write a letter to the king of the country to express your first contribution."
Li Xin quickly declined and said: "How dare I take away the credit of the Marquis of Sishui as the commander-in-chief? If the Marquis of Sishui really wants to do this, he will ask the king to be transferred from Shu."
Han Xin looked into Li Xin's eyes to confirm that the other party was not pretending to refuse. Fang smiled and said, "I haven't seen the general for a year. The general's demeanor is far better than before."
"Let's not talk about the merits for now. You and I will defeat Nanyun Province first."
Li Xin laughed and said, "How dare you disobey your orders."
Immediately, the camp fell into silence, and Han Xin and Li Xin remained silent, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a while, Han Xin suddenly said: "The time has come. Come, tell me the command of my commander. The entire army will put on concealment uniforms and march to Huize County."
After Han Xin gave the order, the temporary military camp seemed to come alive, with figures moving around.
A quarter of an hour later, 50,000 Qin troops were ready to go. With Han Xin taking the lead, they rushed towards Huize County, more than 200 miles away.
…
In the mountains and forests ten miles away from Huize County, before the arrival of the 30,000 South Vietnamese troops, 20,000 Qin troops climbed a mountain peak and planned to defend the mountain.
After the South Vietnamese army arrived, they did not attack immediately, but first blocked the road down the mountain.
Then they adopted the ancient hunting method of setting fire to the mountain in an attempt to smoke the Qin army to death or force them down the mountain.
But in front of the Qin army led by Li Xin, this move was just a trick.
Without kerosene, setting fire to the mountain was nothing to mention in front of the three isolation belts laid out by the Qin army in advance.
The thick smoke at the bottom of the mountain is filtered by the trees, and when it reaches the top of the mountain, there is not much left. Although it is a bit choking, it is far from fatal.
The South Vietnamese army was also very wary of the Qin army who was condescending and occupying a favorable location. For a while, they sent people and did not dare to attack the mountain. The two sides were in a stalemate.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. The general of the South Vietnamese army felt that the stalemate was meaningless, and was going to send someone to send a message to Mei Jun. Should he wait for him to send a large army to support and destroy the Qin army, or keep the Qin army trapped here.
As soon as the South Vietnamese general had this idea, hundreds of Qin troops suddenly came down from the mountain, fired a barrage of arrows, and then ran back in a hurry.
The South Vietnamese general immediately gave up the idea of asking Mei Jun. In his opinion, the Qin army had no intention of staying in retreat. It was just that, as before, it was too timid to fight head-on with the Nanzhao warriors.
The South Vietnamese general decided to wait for a while until the Qin people gathered enough courage to go down the mountain and fight the Nanzhao warriors.
The South Vietnamese general secretly told himself: "We must not embarrass the gods, and we must defeat the Qin people."
In the following period, the Qin army would send people to harass them from time to time, but there was no sign of the entire army coming down the mountain.
The South Vietnamese general gradually lost patience and secretly wondered whether he should take the initiative to attack the mountain?
Hearing a deafening cry of killing, Han Xin rushed over with 50,000 Qin troops and surrounded 30,000 South Vietnamese troops.
At the same time, the 20,000 Qin troops on the mountain responded to each other and rushed down the mountain, forming a flanking attack from two sides.
