Jagged Legion

Chapter 39

He Xiaowang rearranged the army, so that with logistical support, there is no need to worry about food and grass.The morale of the whole army was high. After nearly a year of hard work, the entire line was finally opened. The 30-kilometer-long waterway was opened up by a 40-strong army after a year of hard work.Among them, nearly 3000 people died on the canal when it was opened.He Xiaowang looked at this majestic Lingqu, feeling nothing but excitement.He Xiaowang opened the Lingqu to solve the logistical problem, and the next step is to free up his hands to rectify military affairs. There has been no time to organize the army, and Xu Bing is still under house arrest.He Xiaowang ordered Xu Bing to be brought here: "Xu Bing, your master in Xianyang is at the end of his rope, and it is impossible to save you. You should understand the current situation, and you should choose what to do." Xu Bing knelt on the ground: "General, I, Xu Bing, follow the lead of the general and dare not have the slightest disagreement." He Xiaowang said, "Okay, I don't care whether you are loyal to me or not. I still order you as the deputy general, but if you are discovered For a violation of military law, he will be executed without mercy, and let him go."

Everything is ruled, and the world is round.The national law is the first, and compliance with the law is the first.Then He Xiaowang promulgated a series of military laws, many of which were formulated with reference to the laws of war in the modern army.The new military law stipulates: 1.Preferential treatment of captives, captives of ethnic minorities are not allowed to be mutilated and persecuted, private slaves are not allowed in the army, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! 2.The army is not allowed to bully the weak by the strong.All officers, big and small, and ordinary soldiers have equal food and treatment, and no one is allowed to engage in small matters.Those who disobeyed the order were hit hard and ignored the army stick. 3.Without the personal order of the general, the actions of soldiers with more than 50 people are regarded as mobilizing troops without authorization, and those who disobey the order will be executed! 4.The soldiers of the whole army must fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield. Anyone who is greedy for life and fears death will be killed without mercy! 5.To change the previous strategy of disturbing the people and robbing, no one is allowed to disturb the local aboriginal residents, and those who violate it will be punished without mercy! 6.During the period of the army's mission, there are no special regulations, and those who drink alcohol without authorization will receive fifty army sticks!It is reasonable for He Xiaowang to adjust some of his previous strategies.If the high-pressure strategy is always adopted against the ethnic minorities, it will inevitably cause great resistance, which is not conducive to the overall victory of the war. If the simple high-pressure strategy is adopted, even if a temporary victory is achieved, chaos will still occur when the army moves northward.Therefore, He Xiaowang ordered that no one should disturb the lives of local residents in the future, no looting, no arbitrary killing of local residents and surrender of generals, otherwise they will be dealt with according to military regulations.Thinking of it, Qin Shihuang was still very far-sighted, at least in He Xiaowang's view.It is recorded in the official history that Qin Shihuang once ordered that the 50 troops of the Southern Expedition to Baiyue be stationed in Lingnan on the spot, and no matter what happened to the Central Plains, they could not return to the Central Plains.This laid the foundation for a unified Chinese nation.Therefore, He Xiaowang admired Qin Shihuang from beginning to end.

He Xiaowang has relieved his worries and made a series of adjustments to the army. Now is the time for a decisive battle against the various ethnic groups in South Vietnam.He Xiaowang's first goal was Guilin.Once Tu Sui had already occupied Guilin, but due to insufficient food and grass, he was finally attacked by barbarians and died.The reason why He Xiaowang chose Guilin was to carry out urban warfare, target large and medium-sized gathering places, and then disperse all at once.The strategy of "first north and then south, slow advance and rapid battle" has been formulated step by step.Soon hit Guilin.He Xiaowang observed the forward position, ordered Zhao Guang to attack the north gate, ordered Li Longxiang to attack the south gate, ordered Xu Bing to lead people to attack the west gate, and the east gate was wide open.Everyone was puzzled, and He Xiaowang said: "Military law says that 'the besieged city must be closed' to give them a way out, so they must not dare to resist desperately. I checked the surrounding terrain just now, and we also know that barbarian soldiers are good at jungle warfare. Good at defending the city. As long as we attack the top of the city, we can quickly take Guilin. Come, beat the drums and attack!!" The Lingnan area is mountainous, and it is difficult for cavalry to gain the upper hand here.Therefore, He Xiaowang did not dispatch the cavalry in this battle, and the [-] iron cavalry and [-] light cavalry rested in the barracks.

Zhao Guang led his army to attack first.All the soldiers moved forward bravely, put up the ladders one after another, and climbed to the top of the city.The barbarian army on the top of the city threw stones down one after another, and still kept torches and wood.Zhao Guang killed the general with a shield in his hand, and was the first to attack.The generals under his command are not afraid of death when they see the commander-in-chief, and no one dares to fight the enemy bravely.Li Xian's side also attacked quickly, and Li Longxiang's side was a little slower, because the south gate is the palace of the king of the small country of South Vietnam, and the guards are quite strong.However, Li Longxiang led his subordinates to kill the enemy bravely, and soon conquered it.He Xiaowang leads an army to Guilin, and the leader of the small country of South Vietnam submits a letter of credence, saying that he will submit to the Great Qin forever and is willing to be a commoner.He Xiaowang appeased them one by one, and then ordered Zhao Guang to immediately lead an army to attack another small country closest to Guilin.The siege of the city and the camp will soon be continuous advancement.He Xiaowang swept away the haze of the past, and now the morale of the entire army is high, completely gone from the original decadence.Within a few months, more than a hundred countries, large and small, all surrendered in South Vietnam.He Xiaowang achieved such a result, and immediately sent someone to report to the first emperor.Next, He Xiaowang reorganized the various tribes in South Vietnam.Qin Shihuang soon wrote a letter to establish Xiang County, Guilin County and Minzhong County in South Vietnam. Since then, there has been no war in the south.He Xiaowang conquered various cities and reorganized the army. The 50 army was willing to give some care to those who were willing to marry and have children on the spot. Anyone who was willing to join the army would continue to be accepted in the army.He Xiaowang was executing Qin Shihuang's order first.Sure enough, soon, Emperor Shihuang sent another edict, and the 50 troops in South Vietnam were sent by Emperor Shihuang to lead them again. Without the emperor's order, the 50 troops were not allowed to move north no matter what happened. The whole army settled here.After being educated by He Xiaowang, Xu Bing gradually stopped participating in the court battles, and was content with his own military affairs, and he no longer had the heart of disobedience.In addition, the first emperor ordered He Xiaowang to lead his own army to Xianyang, and there must be no mistake.

He Xiaowang has arranged everything and is ready to return to Ma Xianyang.Xu Bing specially prepared a banquet to see He Xiaowang off.Xu Bing: "General, thank you for your teaching. Without you, He Xiaowang, I, Xu Bing, would not be where I am today! I don't know how long the war in the south will be postponed? The general almost missed the big event!" He Xiaowang raised his hand Wine glass: "Come to have a toast! Xu Bing, although I am leaving, but remember the emperor's edict. At any time, 50 troops are not allowed to go north, so you must keep in mind. Otherwise, you will become a sinner through the ages! Your mission has just begun If it is not as I expected, the first emperor summoned me to Xianyang in such a hurry this time, it is estimated that something big will happen. In short, remember, no matter what, the 50 troops are not allowed to leave South Vietnam, and guard the land of the three counties!" Xu Bing said "Yes! The general obeys orders!" He Xiaowang picked up another bowl of wine and said, "Soldiers!! He Xiaowang is honored to drink with all the brothers to kill the enemy and dig the river. How many of our brothers are buried The bones are here! Once the achievements are made, the bones will be dry! I, He Xiaowang, dare not be greedy! Without the bones of the brothers who died in the battle, it would be impossible for us to drink and celebrate here! I know, each of us is Warriors who are not afraid of death! You are the elites of the empire!! I, He Xiaowang, will not waste my life! Come on! Do it!!" He Xiaowang picked up the third bowl of wine: "This third bowl of wine should be toasted to us Brothers and soldiers far away in the northwest and Prince Fusu! Without Prince Fusu and the soldiers of the Northwest to support us, encourage and support us, we would not be where we are today, and we would have starved to death long ago. The excavation of Lingqu will remember you all Tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, you will last forever and benefit future generations!! Come, make this bowl!"

The soldiers below began to discuss, how did the general say that we would be exiled for eternity by digging that canal?what happened?That one said: "I don't know, it means very powerful anyway." He Xiaowang finished his three bowls of wine, said the words and cupped his hands: "All soldiers! Farewell!!! I hope we will never see each other You must remember to take root here!!" All the soldiers knelt on the ground: "Go well, general!!", "Go well, general!!" How many times did He Xiaowang experience life and death in the Southern and Northern Wars? parting.Zhao Guang, Li Longxiang, Li Xian and the [-] cavalry followed He Xiaowang silently.He Xiaowang galloped away, leaving Lingnan where he had fought for two years.He Xiaowang guessed right, there was indeed an accident in Xianyang, but this time the accident was not as serious as He Xiaowang imagined. It was not that Qin Shihuang was critically ill, but a new round of attacks on He Xiaowang.He Xiaowang successfully won the three counties in Lingnan, Zhao Gao and Li Si were still sitting on pins and needles.Every time He Xiaowang wins, he indirectly supports Fusu.But Zhao Gao and Li Si insisted on accusing He Xiaowang of treason and high meritorious deeds.The reason why the first emperor recalled He Xiaowang so urgently was to calm public opinion in the court.
