I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 252 Negotiation, fighting for the front

Everyone in the tent looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

South Vietnam.

How many thousand cavalry do they have?
Compared with the Xiongnu who brought a strong sense of oppression, Nanyue was not insignificant in their eyes, but it could only be regarded as mediocre.

Before Liu Bang chose to conquer in person, they felt that it was a bit of a fuss.

When drinking and chatting at banquets, they seldom talked about this aspect. The reason is very simple, and they feel that it is really unnecessary to discuss it.

On the few occasions when relevant topics came up, their views were clear.

If it weren't for the main force of the Han Dynasty to fight the Xiongnu outside, even if Zhou Bo brought 5 to [-] people, it would be enough to push them away.

Therefore, Chen Luo suddenly mentioned Nanyue Kingdom, and he attached great importance to it in his words, obviously treating them as a threat.

This is what they don't understand the most.

Fan Kuai said bluntly: "Jiang Ning, it's not that I underestimate the enemy too much, but I feel that South Vietnam is really not a threat.

I heard that their lord, Zhao Tuo, was only a county magistrate, and the most elite soldiers of the Nanyue Kingdom were composed of the remnants of the original Qin Dynasty.

You must know that we were the core force that defeated the Qin Dynasty, defeated those troops as fierce as lions and tigers, and turned them into fish meat on the chopping board, no different from the trembling pigs in the pen about to be slaughtered.

From this point of view, could they be enemies that the big man needs to look straight at? "

The others didn't echo, but the expressions on their faces were enough to explain their attitudes. They had just seen and defeated the truly powerful enemies on the northern grasslands, and they were really dismissive of Nanyue.

Han Xin, who always valued all enemy forces and would never take them lightly, did not directly start sarcastic like others, but fell into deep thought.

After a while, he shook his head and said softly, "Jiang Ning, I agree with General Fan's opinion."

I compared the number of troops, combat readiness and logistics, strategic depth, etc., and found that South Vietnam was better than Dahan in any aspect.

In this situation of absolute advantage, there will be no problems if Fan Kui leads 2 people to go up, or Zhou Bo takes 4 people to slowly operate.

Switching to the strategy games of later generations, there is no problem in shouting "How can a flying dragon lose when riding a face".

They knew that Liu Bang had brought more than [-] imperial troops, and together with Changsha's army, the number of soldiers must have exceeded [-].

In fact, everyone is very relieved of Liu Bang's ability to command troops. It is not like fighting the Huns, who needs to lead 30 to [-] soldiers to fight with a large army.

Seeing everyone looking at ease, Chen Luo could only smile helplessly.

I definitely couldn't reveal to them that Liu Bang was seriously ill. After all, it was confidential and the consequences would be quite serious.

Therefore, it was not an easy task for Chen Luo to convince the few people in front of him.

Not to mention debating war-related content with Han Xin, in terms of military expertise, even generals like Xia Houying and Fan Kui, who tend to be reckless, also crushed themselves.

Therefore, I have to take a slanted sword and not follow the conventional thinking to get their approval.

After pondering for a moment and taking a deep breath, Chen Luo had a faint smile on his face.

He didn't speak immediately, he just looked at everyone quietly, looking confident.

Seeing Chen Luo's solemn attitude, everyone gradually became suspicious and curious, wondering where his confidence came from.

Suspending the emotions of Fan Kui and the others, Chen Luo spoke at this moment: "Actually, I also agree with Uncle Fan's opinion. South Vietnam's soldiers are weak and have few generals. The land is vast but the city is sparse.

Theoretically speaking, Nanyue will not be the opponent of the big man at all.

But one thing you have overlooked is that the terrain and climate of South Vietnam are very different from those of the Central Plains and even Chu.

The summer climate in the place occupied by Nanyue Kingdom is not only hot, but also hot and humid. The most fundamental difference is that hot and humid weather is more difficult to effectively dissipate heat, and it will cause intestinal problems, diarrhea, um... and there are many mosquitoes, which are easy to get malaria.

In addition, South Vietnam has a broken terrain where rivers and mountains intersect. None of us have experience in commanding troops in such terrain. "

Zhu Kezhen based on the phenology data in "Ren Di Pian" in the book "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" and compared it with "Nong Dan" written by Zhang Biao, and found that the phenology of the beginning of spring in the Qin and Han Dynasties was three weeks earlier than that in the late Qing Dynasty.

Clearly, the current era is going to be hotter.

Chen Luo, who lives here, also has a deep understanding.

"Jiang Ning, why do you know so clearly?" When his voice fell, Han Xin rubbed his chin, and quickly answered the doubts in his heart.

You must know that these people in the tent have traveled all over the country, and they are already the most experienced people in the Han Dynasty.

But if you ask about the terrain in South Vietnam, they can barely answer. As for the detailed effects of the climate in South Vietnam, only the local savages can understand it.

As a result, Chen Luo not only spoke out, but also analyzed various disadvantages.

This simply made everyone in the tent drop their jaws in shock.

Seeing the stunned people, Chen Luo just waved his hand and said, "Don't make blind guesses. I just read through some information.

When the Qin Dynasty conquered Baiyue, it left behind extremely detailed relevant materials.

Chengxiang Xiao and I both got this information about the breach of Chang'an City a few years ago, but Chengxiang Xiao is more interested in legal matters, while I read more strange stories like this. "

This was the most reasonable explanation he could come up with.

I can't say that I have collected countless travel guides from later generations, and I have actually traveled to Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province.

Hearing what Chen Luo said, everyone was skeptical, but there was no other more reasonable explanation, so they could only choose to believe it for the time being.

Smiling at everyone, Chen Luo continued: "From this point of view, you should agree that the existence of the Nanyue Kingdom is a certain threat, right?"

Zhou Bo, Fan Kui and the others looked at each other, and finally focused on Han Xin, taking him as the backbone to make this judgment.

"According to what you said, Jiang Ning, then Nanyue Kingdom is really not that easy to deal with." Including the influence of climate and terrain, Han Xin originally thought that Nanyue Kingdom could be settled with only 7 to [-] troops, but now it needs at least [-] Ten thousand people can do it.

According to this calculation, it was Han Xin who replaced himself as the commander of the army. Even if he was not familiar with the terrain of South Vietnam, he would not make any fatal mistakes.

If Liu Bang were to command the army, a certain amount of room for trial and error would be required. The number of the army is only around 6, and it would be quite dangerous to be stuck on this edge.

After thinking about this, Han Xin raised his head and looked at Chen Luo, already having a guess in his mind.

However, he still chose to ask: "So Jiang Ning, what do you think?"

Han Xin knew himself well.

Guessing that his original intention was not to advocate the strength of South Vietnam, but to describe a country that would make the Han people fearful, to give up that piece of fertile land that can be cultivated.

So Han Xin did not choose to refute, but wanted to hear what explanation the other party would give.

Facing the question he posed, Chen Luo quickly answered: "Nanyue will definitely belong to the great Han and become a part of China since ancient times.

It's just that His Majesty is on an expedition. Although the princes will send troops to assist, they will need to spend time and energy on controlling the princes' troops. In the end, the people will be inconsistent, making it difficult for the army to exert its strongest effect.

However, His Majesty brought out only [-] soldiers from Chang'an. If it takes [-] soldiers to attack South Vietnam, then His Majesty's cronies account for less than [-]%. This problem exists objectively.

Then we have to solve it, and recruiting troops from Guanzhong is naturally not the best choice.

Now we have tens of thousands of troops here, and it happens that most of them cannot enter Guanzhong, so wouldn't it be a good thing to mobilize some elites to go to the south to participate in the war with South Vietnam? "

Han Xin and the others widened their eyes.

It turned out that there were two important things that Chen Luo said, the first one was really not nonsense, and all the foreshadowing was buried here.

If it weren't for the fact that when discussing the first thing, Chen Luo mentioned that the army could not enter Guanzhong, everyone planned to disband the army near Hangu Pass, leaving only the soldiers with Guanzhong registered residence to disarm and enter the pass. Even when they arrived in Chang'an, only three soldiers were left. 5000 people came to serve as a guard of honor.

When brainstorming and discussing this solution, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and this was a quite suitable solution.

But when the second matter was put on the table for discussion, they were all shocked.

Was the plan that I participated in the discussion really conceived by me?

How big is Chen Luo in this plan?

Thinking of this, Fan Kuai and the others had the urge to look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle to think about whether their thoughts were controlled by Chen Luo. It shouldn't be too outrageous.

Fan Kui asked cautiously: "Jiang Ning, is everything in your original expectation, do you even guess what everyone will think?"

Seeing his appearance, Chen Luo felt a little helpless.

He did intervene at several key points in the formation of the decision, but he was not manipulating the mind as they thought, otherwise it would be even more outrageous than Yuri.

So he said honestly: "This is just a coincidence. But I originally guessed some judgments that everyone might make, and based on this, I studied the next move. I didn't expect that most of them would actually match. In fact, It was just an accident.”

Everyone squinted, looking at Chen Luo still full of disbelief.

Just thinking about it carefully, manipulating the minds of all the participants from a distance is really too incredible.

After all, many participants had never been exposed to this incident at all, and the only connection with Chen Luo was really only this aspect of the movement.

When everyone calmed down, they chose to vote with a show of hands. They chose to agree with Chen Luo to lead the partially disbanded army to go south to South Vietnam to support Liu Bang, and to severely attack the arrogance of those South Vietnam troops.

With their support in this regard, Chen Luo's goal has been achieved.
