Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 276 Pearl River Delta

Ying Zheng didn't think too much about Liu Bai's words, but just wanted to hear if he had any better suggestions.

After all, judging from the current situation, the Battle of Lingnan still needs to be taken seriously.

If a more suitable person can be recommended, this battle can be fought more easily.

At this moment Liu Bai was thinking about Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo.

Especially Zhao Tuo, that is a talent!
Not only became the king of Nanyue, but more importantly, he lived a long life.

Most importantly, his luck was overwhelming.

When he was young, he conquered Lingnan. After Ying Zheng died, Ren Xiao also died. Before he died, he handed over Nanyue to Zhao Tuo and became the king of Nanyue directly.

When he died at the age of more than 100, he just escaped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again.

This luck can't be better!
But Liu Bai said this not because he was afraid that he would become the king of Nanyue again.

After all, Shihuang is still here at this moment, even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the guts.

What he thought was whether to let Cao Shen and the others go to experience and practice, so as to gain some experience for the subsequent Huns war.

"Father, my son recommended Han Xin as a general."

Ying Zheng, who was still looking forward to it, suddenly became angry.

"At the beginning when you recommended him, I thought he was a talent. Who would have thought that after a few days, he fought with others and injured himself severely. As far as I know, Han Xin is still lying on the bed at this moment. Don't say that I disagree. , even if he agrees, how can he go to Lingnan?"

Liu Bai chuckled.

"Father, who reported this to you? He is just talking nonsense! Han Xin was only competing with the people on the mountain, and accidentally injured his leg, and it was only a flesh injury. It will be healed in a few days. Where are you?" Is it that serious?"

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this, and glanced into the darkness.

Zhang Han: ...

Son-in-law, are you cheating on me like this?

As for the matter between him and Xiang Yu, do you dare to feel your conscience and say, didn't they try to be aggressive?
Do you dare to touch your conscience and say that Xiang Yu is from your mountain?
How dare you...

Forget it, you have no conscience anyway!

Li Si saw Ying Zheng's unhesitating expression, looked at Liu Bai and said.

"My son-in-law, even though Han Xin wasn't injured, as far as I know, he hasn't been on the battlefield, has he? Let him be the commander-in-chief as soon as he comes, this..."

Although he is the prime minister, he also understands that seniority is the most important thing in the army.

If Han Xin is really allowed to go, whether he can convince the soldiers under him is the biggest question.

If one is bad, the mutiny will happen in an instant.

Liu Bai understands Li Si's worries, but at the same time he also believes in Han Xin.

Looking at Li Si firmly, Liu Bai said directly.

"How does Li Xiang know that he can't do it?"

Looking at him suspiciously, Li Si didn't know why he had so much confidence in Han Xin.

Not to mention big battles, he hasn't even fought a small battle!

Ying Zheng looked at Liu Bai's determined expression, thought for a moment and rejected his proposal.

"Han Xin can go if he wants to, but he has to start with a small soldier, and the general should not think about it."

In such an important battle, how could it be possible for an inexperienced person to be the leader?

Seeing His Majesty refute the son-in-law's words, Meng Yi also heaved a sigh of relief.

Not to mention anything else, but to mention Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo, who fought from beginning to end in Lingnan.

Inexplicably airborne an inexperienced general in the past, neither of them would agree.

Liu Bai thought for a while, if he was Ying Zheng, and he didn't know Han Xin, naturally he wouldn't entrust this burden to him.

Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed to Ying Zheng's arrangement.

Seeing that he was no longer noisy, Ying Zheng turned to Meng Yi again and asked the previous question.

I thought I had escaped, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be so persistent.

After thinking for a while, Meng Yi honestly expressed his thoughts.

"I thought that Ren Xiao could be the main general and Zhao Tuo the deputy..."

Ying Zheng nodded to indicate that he knew, and did not express his opinion on the spot.

The three of them didn't ask any more questions, they just drank their tea with their heads down.

In the silence of the room, Ying Zheng suddenly coughed.

Li Si looked up, but saw that His Majesty was drinking tea expressionlessly.

His eyes rolled slightly, and he tried to think about his thoughts. After a while, he seemed to think he understood.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at Liu Bai with a smile.

"My son-in-law, you proposed to attack Lingnan today, what can you do?"

After all, he took a sneak peek at Ying Zheng.

Seeing him put down his teacup and staring at Liu Bai, he thought to himself, calm down, it seems that this question is on point.

Liu Bai thought for a moment after hearing the words, then looked at Li Sidao.

"Master Meng said that the most difficult thing to win Lingnan is two points, one is the temperature is too high, and the other is the difficulty in supplying food and grass..."

"It's about temperature. We're just ordinary people, and we can't solve it. As for food and grass, the emperor has already dug the Lingqu, and it will be transported by water in a few years. I can't help with that!"

Li Si, who was still listening carefully, rolled his eyes when he saw that he had been talking nonsense for a long time.

Since you can't solve anything, why are you so supportive?

"but……"

One thing, Li Si wanted to throw the teacup in his hand in an instant.

Why is this person so hateful?It's not good to say a word.

Seeing Li Si looking at him bitterly, Liu Bai asked inexplicably.

"Prime Minister, what's the matter with you?"

Glancing at Ying Zheng, Li Si hurriedly said.

"Old minister is fine, tell me quickly!"

Nodding his head, Liu Bai said directly without ink marks.

"Our army has captured a large area of ​​Lingnan, why not take root there first, and then develop westward?"

The three of them looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of his words at all.

Although a large area has been conquered, aren't there still two tribes fighting stubbornly?
Shouldn't they all be wiped out, and then talk about rooting?

"I don't know what the son-in-law means by this? Now that the army has retreated to the border of South Vietnam to fight against the Baluo army, if it takes root in the east of South Vietnam, wouldn't it be necessary for other places?"

After hearing Meng Yi's words, Liu Bai looked at Xiao Xi.

"Please ask your father-in-law to bring some paper and pens in!"

Xiaoxi even said she didn't dare, and hurriedly stood aside to wait for the pen and ink.

Liu Bai spread out a piece of paper and roughly drew on it.

"This is a map of Lingnan. Except for this area, the rest of the area is mountainous and forested, and there are very few places that can be developed."

"And most of the resources in Lingnan are concentrated here, and now most of them have been occupied by our army. Why can't we build a government office first? After digging the Dailing Canal, send troops to the west..."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bai waited for the three people to ask questions, but still no one said a word for a long while.

He raised his head in doubt, but saw three people looking at him strangely.

Li Si wondered.

"As far as I know, the son-in-law has never been to Lingnan, why is he so clear about the terrain there?"

Opening his mouth, Liu Bai was about to say that he saw it in a certain ancient book, but he didn't expect that Ying Zheng opened his mouth first.

"Is this true?"

Liu Bai nodded.

The place he circled is the Pearl River Delta region!

From ancient times to the present, the most valuable thing in Lingnan is this area.

The reason why the Qin army suffered heavy losses was that they did not understand the terrain and always wanted to take all of Lingnan.

Little did they know that most of the most important areas in south of the Five Ridges were already in their hands.
