Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 827 Baiyue Trivia (Part )

After Wei Zhuang left due to internal affairs in Guigu, although Sima Shang immediately succeeded him as the army commander, Sima Shang only focused on fighting and had no interest in communicating with Tianze and his subordinates.

Therefore, all the reporting tasks for the army fell on Mo Ya, and Han Fei would not even interfere.

This is also to make Tianze feel at ease to a certain extent, although... everyone knows what the situation is.

Now that the war has been decided, Mo Ya will naturally come to Tianze to explain the arrangements for military affairs.

Ordinary soldiers naturally have nothing to say. They are all Baiyue people and are basically impossible to be used by Liusha. This is why Tianze can safely hand over military power.

On both sides of the balance of this transaction, Tianze's biggest weight is his identity, the identity of the descendant of the Yue King who can make the people of Baiyue willing to sacrifice their lives.

Among the middle and high-level officers, there are a large number of Central Plains people.

It's not that Liusha deliberately mixed sand into Tianze's army, but if all these key officers are composed of Baiyue people, and only one Sima Shang is left as the commander...then Sima Shang can be removed as well.

Not to mention the ancient armies that were difficult to command, even the modern armies with extremely convenient communications cannot be managed by just one general.

When the key officers are unreliable, just Sima Shang? Even if you replace Li Mu, you won't be able to bring this group of Baiyue people. You can only fight a pure war of attrition, one for one, to see who has the most financial resources.

Logically speaking, Tianze would definitely not agree to keep this Central Plains officer. Mo Ya could have asked Sima Shang to directly remove him, but in this way, Tianze's army would be semi-paralyzed for a considerable period of time.

In view of the unfavorable consequences, Mo Ya decided to ask King Tianze for his wishes.

As soon as Tianze heard about the army that he was most concerned about at the moment, he immediately became energetic.

In response to Mo Crow's question, the first thought that came to Tianze's mind was to quickly capture the army. However, as a wise monarch, he still resisted the urge to say so and replied as calmly as possible. :
  "Things in the military... I wonder if Liusha has any plans for this?"

Mo Ya smiled slightly and responded, "I agree with General Sima. They both believe that Liusha's men should be removed as soon as possible. However, we are worried about the unrest in the army, so we still have to look at what King Tianze wants."

Hearing this, Tianze raised the corners of his eyes slightly, showing a bit of happiness.

He was very satisfied with Liusha's superior performance on the issue of military power. Well... he felt even better about being king.

After pondering for a moment, Tianze gave his answer:
  "The Lone King believes that this matter should not be completed in a short time, and it still needs to be done slowly."

"The Lone King will arrange for someone to handle this matter. I hope that everyone in Liusha can cooperate as much as possible."

The so-called take your time means not only stripping off Liusha's people bit by bit, Tianze also plans to use Liusha's people to cultivate a group of Baiyue officers who are capable, loyal and reliable as much as possible during this period.

This matter has actually been in progress during the war, but it has not been completely completed, and the number of Baiyue officers trained is not enough.

This kind of person who was trained in peacetime and 80% of whom are expected to be quick-achieved is naturally incomparable with those who have been trained in war, but they are enough for Tianze.

Mo Ya had some guesses about Tianze's plan, but he had no definite answer.

But he, or rather Liusha, didn't care.

Liusha's privileges in Fujian and Yue must not be maintained by military power, otherwise it will only quickly intensify the conflict with Tianze and force the other party to desperately resist Liusha.

Things that were about to be completely given up, no matter what Tianze does, anyway, if you take advantage here, you will have to suffer a loss there.

Quicksand must not suffer!
  Hmm... In the early feudal society of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the semi-colonial rule two thousand years later can be regarded as social progress... right? Mo Ya bowed slightly and responded with a smile, "This is natural."

………………

Liusha Office in Fujian and Yue.

In fact, it was a relatively large-scale house in the walled city, which was selected by Han Fei and others as a place for him and others to live here.

After what needed to be said, Han Feiran and Mo Ya left Tianze's beloved palace and ran back to their own territory.

The war is over, Tianze will be very busy next, and so will Liusha.

The most important thing is the transportation of materials.

As a result, the war between Qin and Chu was imminent, and it became increasingly difficult for Liusha's supplies to enter and exit Baiyue through the Chu State's border.

Secondly, after the break between the Mo family and Gu Xun, the construction speed of transportation lines dropped rapidly.

The previously constructed transportation lines only penetrated less than one-third of the territory of the Minyue Kingdom. They were used very well two years ago, but now... the transportation costs have greatly increased.

Originally, even if there were complete transportation routes, transportation costs were very high, and now it was even more of a headache for Quicksand.

Han Fei is not like the capitalists of later generations, but it is really depressing to waste manpower and material resources because of the natural environment.

Han Fei looked at Mo Ya beside him and asked, "Brother Mo Ya, has Brother Gu replied to the letter about the transportation route?"

"Yes, but..." Mo Ya showed a wry smile and shrugged helplessly, "Sir, he said he has an idea, but it won't be available for a while, so let's leave it at that for now."

Without the Mohist family, there would still be Gongshujia, but Gongshujia's family attached themselves to Qin, which was equivalent to the retainers of the King of Qin.

It is definitely impossible to say that Ying Zheng is unaware of the disturbances Liusha has made in Baiyue. However, the main target of the Qin State at this stage is still the Central Plains countries. Baiyue is beyond the reach of the whip. Naturally, he will not interfere. After all, Gu Xun Not much Qin's official power was used.

But if Gu Xun took the initiative to involve the Gongshu family, it would be equivalent to giving Qin a reason to intervene. The court would definitely find a way to get a piece of the pie.

Sooner or later, Qin will take away this piece of the pie, and it will still be the majority, but it is better to be later. After all, for Liusha, it is more cost-effective to pay the transportation cost.

Gu Xun already has other methods, but it will take time.

Han Fei scratched his head and could only accept the reality helplessly, "Okay, let's do this for now."

Mo Ya then said to Han Fei, "Ninth Young Master, I have received information about the Dongou area before. In order to deal with the Qin State, the Chu State has begun to comprehensively reduce the manpower of Baiyue. It is estimated that Dongou will soon enter a temporary unmanned state. A state of control.”

Facing the Qin State, the Chu State did not dare to be careless. Even if the garrison in the Baiyue area could only be regarded as mosquito legs, they felt that they could not let it go. Anyway, as long as the Chu State was safe and sound, Dong Ou was theirs and no one could take it away.

"Well..." Han Fei thought for a moment and then ordered, "Just tell Tianze about this later. We, Liusha, should not get involved."

Then he sighed as if he was pointing something, "It's too close to the Central Plains there."

When Mo Ya heard this, he also understood what Han Fei meant, "I understand."
