Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 772 Let the Qiong people move (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Zhang Han came out to object.

"Lieutenant, you are in charge of the empire's military affairs. Your rank is even higher than that of the captain of the army. You can weigh your own decisions in any situation and have great authority. But in the face of such a war, you chose to stay away from the central command of the military operation. Position. Most of the people who came to participate in the war this time are juniors with military merit. I thought that with this arrangement, once the military situation changes, those young generals will not be able to cope with it. "

Li Xin laughed after hearing this. He stroked his beard and said, "Send the young generals Feng Jing, Zhao Ziyi, and Meng Qiu to come in."

After a while, the three of them stood in front of Li Xin.

"How old are you three?"

Zhao Ziyi said naturally: "The year of Erli."

Meng Qiu said: "I am 28 years old this year."

Feng Jing: "32 years old."

Zhang Han burst out laughing after hearing this, "Are you still young at this age?"

Zhang Han naturally turned pale with anger when he heard this.

"When I say they are young generals, I mean they are not experienced enough in combat, not their age."

Li Xin still didn't take it seriously, "30 years old is already old enough. These people are all captains appointed by His Majesty, and they are in charge of tens of thousands of troops. We are about to go to war now, so stop being hesitant and hesitant. Let's talk about it. , if the generals are divided according to their combat experience, then does your left general Zhang Han still have a place in this camp?"

Zhang Han's temples have already turned gray, and now he is the oldest in the camp.

Hearing this, Zhang Han's dissatisfaction with the emperor, the empire, and Li Xin for many years was aroused.

He held the sword, sat down, and said no more.

"We will take one of each of these three people. What do the two generals on the left and right think?"

Wang Li didn't dare to offend Li Xin, so he naturally said good to him.

"I like this boy Feng Jing. What do you think? Are you willing to fight with me? We will fight the rebels as soon as possible. Do you dare to come?"

"Why don't you dare."

Wang Li liked Zhao Ziyi better, so he chose him, leaving only Meng Qiu, who naturally went to Zhang Han.

These three people are all major generals who have a very close relationship with the emperor. They were worshiped as captains at a young age. Everyone was jealous to begin with. Now that they are openly being taken around by Li Xin, others are naturally dissatisfied.

Once benefits are unfairly distributed, conflicts will inevitably arise.

The other older captains were unhappy but did not show it.

Soon, Li Xin led his troops to clear the way, while Wang Li led his army to garrison Linqiong City. Zhang Han, as the weakest and lowest-status general, could only take one chance to stay where he was.

Li Xin and Wang Li set off with their armies, leaving only Zhang Han's prisoner army. Over the years, Zhang Han had promoted many people to captains, and they were extremely dignified among the prisoner army.

The horses neighed and the wheels rolled. Everyone else moved forward, and only the prisoner army stayed in place.

Other captains stepped forward one after another, "General Zuo, why are the other captains leading their troops forward, but we are the only ones who don't move."

"The Taiwei is used to changing tactics. The more troops he brings, the harder it will be for him to personally lead the troops in battle."

"Then what do the prisoner army do?"

"Of course we stay where we are and wait for military orders. To prevent Ren Xiao from sending people to sneak attack from behind."

"Sneak attack from behind? How is this possible? This area is surrounded by mountains and forests. How could they go around here? Didn't I say before that there are still two scouts who have not returned?"

Zhang Han was sitting alone in the big tent. Hearing this, he raised the wine baron and said, "You reminded me. Send all our scouts out to explore the east and west sides."

"only."

"Also, take good care of His Majesty's favorite minister Meng Qiu. This boy is Sikou's son. If anything happens to him, not only will His Majesty the Emperor want our heads, but Sikou will not let us go."

When the nine captains heard this, they were all unhappy, "General, we have traveled all the way to this place, but now others have gone out to fight and lined up in front. It is not so much that we are left behind to cut off the rear, but rather that they don't want us to go and grab them." Credit."

Zhang Han narrowed his eyes, "Don't say anything nonsense."

"General, I have wronged you over the years. You were originally a high minister of the empire, sitting in the young mansion, looking up to the government and the public. But in the end you were sent to guard and train our prisoner army. Now you finally have the opportunity to fight, But we are being squeezed out. General, you don’t let us speak, but the lowly brothers can’t explain it.”

"I appreciate His Majesty's words very much. If you want to lose, you must first forgive it; if you want to take it, you must first give it. There are some things that everyone sees and knows well, so you don't have to say it . I just hope that everyone here can remember this shame today with me."

"We will never forget it."

"Everyone, step back and wait until the scouts return to make plans."

"only."

The three generals then divided their troops into three groups. One stayed behind to garrison, one camped in front, and the other garrisoned Linqiong City.

Li Xin led his men to set fire to the forest, which aroused the anger of the Qiong people of the neighboring tribe and other ethnic minorities.

When the envoy from the Dian Kingdom arrived, he immediately reported the matter to Li Xin.

"Your Majesty, my Majesty, these few barbarian tribes respect the natural creatures very much and will not easily destroy the plants and trees here. But the Taiwei arrived and set fires all the way. This has aroused their dissatisfaction. Please also ask the Taiwei to consider the empire and the Regarding the situation of diplomatic relations between foreign nations, stop setting fire to it wantonly.”

"I thought you came here to convey some good news to me, but I didn't expect that you came here to warn me not to set fires again. Are you an envoy of the Qiong tribe, or a vassal of the Qin State? Minister."

After all, Chuili Xun was also a descendant of the clan, but his status was not higher than Li Xin's. Now when he heard Li Xin's attitude and tone talking to him, he was naturally angry.

He twitched, "The diplomatic relations between the two countries are based on peace. Now His Majesty ordered the Taiwei to attack Nanzhao Kingdom and take down Ren Xiao, but Linqiong has already occupied, so the Taiwei should stop setting fire to the forest. Otherwise, the homeland of the Qiong people will be destroyed. These Qiong people have always been willing to obey our Qin State. In the past, they would offer pamao (mango) and stone artifacts to the empire every year. Please think twice, Taiwei, and stop quickly. "

Li Xin said, "You man, do you know that men from Qin always face the loess and turn their backs to the sky? This area in western Guizhou is rich in vegetation and snakes and insects. If I don't set fire to the forest, my soldiers will They were wary and might even be attacked by snakes and insects. Many soldiers had already suffered from moisture while crossing the river. At this time of year, the weather was rainy and the river bed was rising. If they didn't set fire to it, the soldiers would definitely be in panic. There was no need to By the time the war starts, we will have already collapsed."

"But the Qiong people's tribe is nearby. If the fire burns again, wouldn't it burn their home? I'm afraid it will cause big trouble."

"Then it's up to you to solve this problem and ask them to move quickly. This place is so poor and desolate, but people can still live in it. It's so barbaric and backward. Maybe you should plead with His Majesty to let these people move out of these places and return to Nanyang. Live in this area. We Chinese people are open-minded and willing to accept them to live with us."

"Taiwei, different ethnic groups have different customs. When the two countries interact, they must respect each other. You cannot force others to move away just because they are from a small ethnic group."

After hearing this, Li Yafu raised his fist and said, "What are you talking about? Now that our Qin soldiers are suffering from dampness and cold here, we are asked to consider the Qiong people and barbarians."
