Chapter 142 Mine!
It rained for three consecutive days.

Nearly ten thousand people searched around Jieyang for three days.

The rain finally stopped, Ying Xuan held a black stone in his hand, and frowned.

Why not?

Obviously it's already here.

A soldier on the side said very carefully while holding a torch.

"My lord, I really picked it up around here at that time."

"This subordinate really didn't lie to you!"

Ying Xuan did not blame.

This kind of thing can be encountered but not sought after.

He was just a little sorry.

The biggest obstacle to attacking Longchuan is the dense forest.

The Yue people have lived nearby for generations and are too familiar with it.

Branches, vines, and even a certain poisonous insect swamp will become their huge advantage.

As long as the Qin army is led over without them doing anything at all, the army will suffer huge casualties.

In this era, the power of nature is still strong enough to crush all human efforts!

Originally, Ying Xuan could only rely on some of the roads, traps, and dangerous areas that the patriarch had learned from his memory, to forcibly attack.

But even so, Yueren can change many things in a short period of time.

If you win at most one peak, subsequent advancement will begin to be difficult.

At that time, it is very likely that the lives of the soldiers will be used to fill it.

If you attack like this, you will enter the rhythm of Yueren.

They are happy to use the lives of a few people to restrain them, or even exchange lives for lives.

If we continue the fight with the current strength, we will at most defeat South Vietnam and capture Xiou. Luo Yue will be powerless further to the west!

This is far different from Ying Xuan's inner goal.

He wants to scare the Yue people all at once, at least he has to go abroad and beat them to the vicinity of Jiaozhi!
We must protect the southern part of Qin from being invaded for hundreds of years!

So if you want to solve these forests at once, setting fire is the best solution.

But too much oil is needed, and it will be difficult for Da Qin to supply it.

And it's still rainy here, and there will be another heavy rain at any time.

If he hadn't seen a black stone in one of the soldiers' bonfires in the rain, which was still burning despite the rain, Ying Xuan would have almost given up on this plan!
Looking at the piece of oil shale in his hand, Ying Xuan felt very regretful.

He clearly remembered that as early as the [-]s, a large amount of oil shale was discovered in Guangdong, and its reserves were terrifying.

Although it is called "oil shale", it was the second-largest alternative to petroleum at that time.

It's just that the price of refining oil is not as cheap as oil, but this thing can be burned directly!

Although the temperature is not as high as that of oil, it is perfect for burning mountains!

If there is such a thing, why not burn Baiyue to the ground!
Ying Xuan looked a little unwilling, but there are not many good weather here, so we can't miss the window period of rainy days.

Can't help but sigh.

Still according to the original plan, first capture Longchuan and encircle Ren Xiao to take Wuling, and then make a decision on the westward attack!

Ying Xuan brought people back to the camp, and wanted to draw everything that the patriarch of the Yue people knew, and let the lieutenants pass it on for attention.

He didn't notice that the lieutenant general of Meng Tian's line was following behind him all the time.

At this moment, his eyes were shining.

Young master actually needs this kind of stone so much.

Although he didn't know what it would be useful for, but from the fact that Ying Xuan mobilized an army to search everywhere in the rain, he could see how much Ying Xuan needed it.

If he could find it, wouldn't it be worth failing to report Zhao Tuo's misdeeds?

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Gather all the thousand generals under his command together.

"Everyone!"

"Originally because of Zhao Tuo! Our fight to build a career has become a road to redemption for dereliction of duty!"

"Originally, we can't blame others. Who made us fail to see the wolfish ambitions of people like the Zhao family."

The Qianjiang beside him also lowered his head and sighed.

"That's right! Originally, according to my military merits, I could have been promoted to a fifth doctor! That's a noble position!"

"But if we encounter something like this, we can only be unlucky!"

"My hometown is still Jiujiang, let alone military merits now, what face do I have to go back after this incident?"

The soldiers on the side also complained endlessly.

Seeing this, the deputy gritted his teeth and said with a slight smile.

"But now I have a method! It can offset our sins!"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers stared and gathered around.

"Really or not? General! You can't fool us!"

The lieutenant nodded.

"It's just that you have to take some risks!"

The generals immediately booed.

"What do you not need to take risks? General, you can tell me as much as you want!"

"Yes! General, don't beat around the bush!"

The deputy general gritted his teeth and said immediately.

"Young Master, since you value the quarry in your hand so much."

"If we can find it! Wouldn't it be a great achievement? Isn't that enough to offset the guilt?"

The soldiers were slightly taken aback and immediately gave him a blank stare.

Who doesn’t know this!But in the past few days, the soldiers have taken turns searching and have already searched this place several times!

But nothing was found.

The deputy general's eyes narrowed at this time.

"That's the risk I'm talking about!"

"You guys dare to bet with me!"

"The rain has stopped now, and since the stone can be ignited, it will last forever."

"We'll just pour oil all over the place! Spread hay all over the place and set fire to it."

"After these things are burned out, the place left behind will naturally be the location of the stone mine!"

"It's just that if we really don't find it, we'll run out of oil and hay in our camp."

"Not only will you be blamed by the young master, but I'm afraid it will be hard to live in rainy days in the future!"

"So I don't dare to make a decision privately, so I'll ask you for your decision."

The surrounding soldiers fell silent after hearing this.

You know, in an environment like Baiyue, they often rely on these oils and hay to stay warm and dry!

Compared with the importance of food and grass, it is no less important.

If this thing is gone, I am afraid that many people will die of damp and disease!

They looked at each other one by one, and it was difficult to make a choice.

The lieutenant general was also a little apprehensive. The young master didn't bring up such a risky decision because it would do too much harm to the army!

Disrupting these basic things is likely to demoralize the army!

After the silence finally passed, the lieutenant general also felt that it was too risky, so he sighed.

"That's all! Let's all go back!"

At this time, the Jiujiang Qianjiang suddenly lowered his head and made a sound.

"I'm willing to give my share!"

"Anyway, we can't destroy Baiyue, we can't avenge Jiujiang, and we will be looked down upon when we go back!"

Immediately afterwards, many fellow villagers behind him also followed in a low voice.

"That's right! We are not afraid! Young Master will definitely not let us starve to death! Every camp will give us some food!"

"The most I'll get is a reprimand! I'll just suffer a little more on rainy days!"

"If these crimes can be paid off! I am willing to suffer more of these crimes! I will pay the debts for the people of Jiujiang!"

His voice immediately made the lieutenant hesitate again.

Then many people followed suit.

"Count me in!"

"Anyway, I can't die! If you don't take a gamble, even if you win, you will fight for nothing, and you will suffer for nothing!"

"If you make this bet, all your subsequent military exploits will be considered real!"

"I'll go back when the time comes, and I'll have the face to meet my folks!"

"Count me in too!"

"Count me in!"

The sound gradually increased.

"That's right! Do it, General! We bet!"

The voice gradually reached nearly ten thousand people.

The lieutenant also gritted his teeth.

"Okay! If that's the case, I won't keep any!"

"If you make a wrong bet, we will be punished together! If you want to behead my son, behead mine first!"

"Come on!"

"Go and fetch all the oil and hay from our camp!"

 The state of passion seems to be back a little bit, starting to add more tomorrow! !
