Destiny Only Han

Chapter 483 Roll it up, you guys roll it up...

Hengpu Pass.

On the hillside of Guannan, there are dots of bonfires flickering. The Nanyue Army camped here put rice and water into bamboo tubes, threw them into the bonfire to heat them, and then took out salted fish, scallops, seaweed, and wild vegetables from their backpacks. All the messy things were thrown into the pottery pot set on the campfire and stewed.

Not long after, the fragrance wafted all over the world.

It's just that apart from the Yue people in the army, the rest of the Qin soldiers who moved from the Central Plains were somewhat lacking in interest.

They want to eat corn.

It was the taste they ingrained in their memory, the first bite they ate.

When they first came to Lingnan, they thought about planting crops from their hometown here.

However, Lingnan is humid and rainy, and the climate, hydrology and soil conditions are very different from those in the Central Plains. Therefore, the corn planted at the beginning either died of waterlogging, or simply grew leaves like crazy, but did not ear...

Therefore, only rice is the staple food.

But fortunately, after doing business with Han, the Han business group brought a lot of corn as a trade commodity, but the mountains and rivers are far away, and the price is not acceptable to ordinary soldiers like them. Serve as a staple.

Unaccustomed to eating local food, the people of Baiyue Dongou speak like birdsong...

This is also one of the reasons why they want to return to their roots.

Well, although Lingnan can grow wheat...

But dogs don't even eat wheat rice!

After a while, the soldiers of the Nanyue Kingdom stationed in the Guannan wilderness finished their last meal of the day, extinguished all the fires used to drive away wild animals, and lay down on the spot and fell into a deep sleep.

But in Hengpu Pass, no one fell asleep.

Most of the time in human society, the truth is hidden. Although Zhao Zhongyan ordered not to reveal the attacking Han's battle plan, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the soldiers guarding the gate knew the war was about to start at the first time. news.

At this moment, they gathered together in the dark, exchanged in a low voice for a short moment, and quickly unified their opinions.

They absolutely do not allow war to happen!
In other words, they don't want to see Nanyue successfully attack Han.

Not long ago, they sent the family letter back through the Han country caravan. If the Han country and the Nanyue country officially go to war, the two sides will inevitably block the border. Their idea of ​​returning to their roots is just an idea after all.

Well, in their view, it is easy for the army of Nanyue to defeat the Han army. After all, their predecessor was the Qin army, the invincible Qin army!

The important thing is that the Han merchants from the north have admitted that the newly emerging Han Empire is extremely poor and has no advantages except some strange and skillful things. The dried fruit made from the eaten fruit is shipped back thousands of miles!
You know, these are used by the people of Nanyue to feed pigs...

Poor, really poor!

Therefore, the chivalrous heart in the hearts of the guards at the gate was full of enthusiasm, and they looked at each other. With the acquiescence of the officer, an agile guard who was good at long-distance running walked to the north side of the pass wall, climbed down, and then disappeared into the vast expanse. In the darkness.

Well, this is not traitorous.

They are from Qin, and Zhao Tuo, the thief who stole the country, is really not familiar with them.

........................

Yuzhang County, Nanzhang (yě) County.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the sky and the earth are shrouded in a piece of silver.

The caravan returning from Nanyue was stationed outside the dilapidated city wall, quietly waiting for the dawn.

In the 33rd year of Qin Shihuang, that is, in 214 BC, Qin Guofa sent an army of 50 troops into South Vietnam in five routes. The leading general was Taiwei Tu Sui. Nanzhang County was expanded from a military fortress.

Well, Tu Sui was careless and aggressive, and everything he passed was destroyed, so he was shot and killed by the Yue people with poisonous arrows, and then there was "Heji Baiyue" when Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo took turns in power.

As for the statement in "Huainanzi" that "hundreds of thousands of corpses bleed", it's fine to read it as a novel, and it doesn't have to be taken seriously.

After all, Huainan King Liu An is the number one Qin Hei in history...

When the dawn broke, the caravan was about to continue to set off, when they suddenly saw a running figure appearing on the mountain road in the distance.

"Who? Stop, don't stop shooting arrows!"

"It's me, Kang Xiaobai! The Kang Xiaobai who asked your elder brothers at Hengpuguan to send home letters back to their hometown!"

His skin was as dark as carbon, and the man who called himself Kang Xiaobai raised his hands high, moved forward step by step, panting heavily anxiously and said: "I have important news to tell, let me see your leader quickly ..."

........................

From Luling County, a horse galloped over and entered the county government office. Immediately afterwards, three pure white pigeons soared into the sky, circled the county government office twice, and flew northward with wings.

There is the direction of Nanchang City.

And on the painted road in the south of Luling County, smoke and dust can be seen faintly everywhere, and the caravan holding the banner of Chinese characters is coming quickly, and there are more than 200 households from Nanzhan County following the caravan.

Well, after Zhao Tuo separatized the Nanyue Kingdom, he sent troops to break through Nanyue County and forcibly moved most of the population out when the forces in the Central Plains were killing each other and the sky was dark and the people were rolling. After the establishment of Zhangjun, those who ran out of the deep mountains and old forests did not know that there was the overlord of Western Chu, let alone the survivors of the Qin Dynasty who were Han Emperor Liu Bang...

........................

Yuzhang County, Panyang County.

Guan Ying was holding a piece of paper in his hand, with an inexplicable look on his face.

Opposite him, Nanchang County Magistrate Zhou Zao frowned: "Sheriff, is there something urgent?"

Sending letters by flying pigeons usually means that something important needs to be dealt with immediately. If it is not urgent, it is better to use the postal transmission system to deliver letters.

After all, although the latter is slow, it can write more content, which is convenient for making more accurate judgments after reading.

And Zhou Zao no longer called Guan Ying the Yushi doctor who is equivalent to the deputy prime minister, but chose to call him the county guard like everyone else, naturally because he was not assigned a minister...

There are no benefits, and of course no more flattery!

The corner of Guan Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and he handed out the note in his hand: "The South Vietnam invaded our border, and should have almost reached Nanzhang County by now."

Jiujiang County Magistrate Wang Su's eyes widened, and he took two steps forward and asked, "How many people are here?"

Guan Ying still kept his previous expression, and replied softly: "About [-]."

"How much?" Xue Ou, magistrate of Dexing County, frowned and asked sideways, "Thirty thousand? Could it be a mistake?"

"Probably not." Guan Ying pointed to the note and said, "Before Fei Ge sent the letter, the scouts in charge of investigation were lurking around the South Vietnamese army, and the number will never be wrong."

Well, most of the samurai in the caravan are recruited military elites who have experienced battles, and the ability to detect the number of enemies is just a basic skill.

"Only [-]? Is Zhao Tuo crazy?"

Wang Xi scratched his head, the same expression as Guan Ying appeared on his face.

Today's Yuzhang County has [-] garrison soldiers. Most of these people are veterans who have experienced the Chu-Han War. Their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. At the same time, they are directly under the Han Ting's army and are qualified to equip heavy armor such as infantry armor. .

Although the original residents of Yuzhang County were not capable of fighting, there were [-] self-cultivating farmers who migrated from Guanzhong.

Under the current Han state system, although these people are called self-cultivating farmers, they still need to receive one month of military training every year. It is no exaggeration to say that they can be recruited into the army at any time, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to those of the guards.

Well, in the feudal dynasties, the self-cultivating peasant Liang Jiazi has always been the mainstay of the army.

In addition, the Yue warriors led by Mei Yun, the armed caravan returning from the South Vietnam, and the county soldiers that already existed.

Guan Ying can get an army of [-] to [-] at random here, and the number of troops that can participate in the battle is also about [-], excluding the army that needs to sit in the rear and monitor and suppress the ministers who do not rebel.

The [-] South Vietnamese troops, especially those who were banished from seven families such as son-in-law, merchants, and barbarians such as Baiyue Dongou, went north to invade Yuzhang County...

This is undoubtedly a mantis shaking a cart and a mayfly shaking a tree.

Because of this, Zhou Zao's eyes suddenly brightened, he squeezed away Wang Xi and Xue Ou who were stunned in place, and clasped his fists and said, "Doctor Yushi, the general is willing to lead [-] troops to fight..."

Well, Zhou Zao used to be a guard next to Liu Bang, and he was black when he was close to ink, and he would have been drinking porridge for a long time.

And beside him, Wang Xi, who seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, immediately cupped his fists and said, "Doctor Yushi, I am willing to lead eight thousand soldiers..."

"Doctor Yushi, I only want five thousand soldiers!" Xue Ou pushed the two of them apart with all his might, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Give me five thousand troops, if you don't repel the enemy army, you will capture the enemy generals. !"

Guan Ying pinched the beard under his chin, met the six expectant eyes, said nothing, and did not agree to any of them.

Just kidding, the emperor asked him to be the governor of Yuzhang, did he really let him get off his horse and govern the people?

Naturally, how can it be someone else's turn to lead the army to fight?
A joke, do you really think that by changing your name, you can defraud him of the benefits?

It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that when playing chess, you need to take one step and watch three steps, and it should be the same as the commander in the army.

The small group invasion of South Vietnam is easy to solve. A mere [-] miscellaneous soldiers can be wiped out with a flick of their fingers, but the crux of the problem is what to do next?
Guard the border, defend the country?
But what if the other party is endless?Do you still have business with Nanyue?

You must know that he is not the only one, many of the military veterans have shares in it, and they need annual dividends to support them to spend a lot of money in Chang'an City.

Therefore, it is the best policy to use war to force peace.

However, as the governor of Yuzhang County, he only has the responsibility to protect the country and the people, and has no right to mobilize troops to fight abroad.

So, Guan Ying thought for a while, sat back at the desk, and started to write quickly.

The first letter was written to Liu Bang, requesting cross-border operations and asking Changsha to wait for an opportunity to support him.

The second letter was to report to the Central Committee of the Han Court, saying that it was the Nanyue Kingdom who made the first move, not that he was instigating a frontier provocation, and asked the Xiangguo Xiao He to find out what happened...

The third letter was written to Liu Ying, telling him that Zhao Tuo had finally fallen for it, and that the previous strategic deception had worked...
