Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 372
Not only Ziying, but everyone in the palace at the moment has the same thoughts as Ziying.

Seeing that the people who were due to arrive were almost there, Shi Huang tremblingly handed over the military report in his hand to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao, who was familiar with the first emperor's thoughts, understood that Ying Zheng wanted him to pass the military report to the ministers so that they could read it for themselves.

The first one to get it was Ziying standing in the front.

"On the [-]th, it was cloudy and rainy for several days. South Vietnamese barbarians gathered dozens of tribesmen to attack our camp. General Tu Sui died in a bloody battle. Our army died in this battle. No less than [-] soldiers and servants were killed. I have led the army to move temporarily. I beg the first emperor to send troops to reinforce quickly. My minister Zhao Tuo pays my respects!" Ziying finished reading and silently handed the letter to Prime Minister Wang Wan behind him.

Although he knew the result a long time ago, Ziying still felt a stagnation in his chest when things happened.

With a total of 10 people, when did Daqin suffer such a heavy loss over the years.

In the war against the Xiongnu, because of Ziying's intervention, the total number of losses in the battle was only a few thousand, and the number of Qin people who were ruined by Tu Sui this time was already 15.

It's no wonder that Emperor Shihuang had such an expression.

The number of words in the military newspaper was not many, and soon everyone read it all over. Every minister who read the military newspaper could not help but take a breath. The barbarians in South Vietnam were so cruel.

It has been the ninth year of Daqin's conquest of South Vietnam, during which a huge amount of money and food was spent. However, the land of South Vietnam that these bigwigs thought they could get at their fingertips, was still not included in Daqin's territory.

"Could it be that my Great Qin's attack on Nanyue was a wrong decision?" Many ministers even retreated in their hearts at this moment, worried that there would be unforeseen consequences if the war continued.

"Tu Sui humiliated the Qin army, and a hundred thousand heroic souls and blood were spilled on the land of South Vietnam. Our Great Qin's Southern Expedition Army has retreated, and we can protect ourselves by occupying the land. You have a good plan." Seeing that everyone has seen the battle report, the First Emperor asked in a hoarse voice.

Everyone, look at me, let me see that you didn't dare to speak out with the first one, after a long time Wang Wan sighed slightly and stood up.

"Emperor Qin, the land of South Vietnam is mountainous and hilly, densely covered with dense forests, full of insects and insects, and it is a barren land. It is useless for me, the Great Qin, to withdraw our troops."

As the prime minister, Wang Wan clearly knew how much it cost hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for many years. Even if Daqin relied on the power of dominating the world to collect the wealth of the six countries, it would be too much to bear after all these years, let alone Daqin's use of money and food. The place is not this place, the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, Lishan Mausoleum, which one is not like a mountain of money and food sprinkled down.

However, after listening to Wang Wan's words, the first emperor really pondered for a while with a livid face: "Nanyue Zhen will definitely draw it!"

As soon as the first emperor finished speaking, almost everyone looked in Ziying's direction.

Everyone's attitude was obvious. If the First Emperor insisted on taking down Nanyue, there was only one choice - Qin Ziying.

In Daqin, where all the old generals have withered away, Ziying is the only general who can stand on his own.

Moreover, Ziying had anticipated Tu Sui's defeat from the very beginning, and recently, he had requested Tu Sui's replacement every now and then.

The most critical point, looking at Ziying's experience, it can be said that he is truly invincible!

Who dares to claim to be undefeated, looking at the only one in ancient and modern times.

At the same time, Ying Zheng's eyes also focused on Ziying.

"I regret not listening to your good words, so much so. Is the baby sure to win South Vietnam?" Ying Zheng asked aloud.

For Ziying, Ying Zheng is not only the helm of the Qin Empire, but also his uncle. It is not easy to say such words.

"Difficult...difficult...difficult..." Hearing Shi Huangdi's question, Ziying said three difficult words in a row, but then changed the subject, Ziying continued: "Nanyue can go down, but it may take a long time."

When he heard the first three words of Ziying, Yingzheng's heart was already dark. Although he didn't want to admit it, if it was difficult for Ziying to win Nanyue, I'm afraid no one in this Great Qin could complete this task. It's over.

However, Ziying's next words immediately restored his confidence. It turned out that what Ziying said was difficult was just a waste of time. I have waited for more than eight years, so why wait a few more years.

As long as Nanyue can be taken down, that is good. It is unbearable for a group of barbarians to dare to ignore his majesty.

And Ziying supported the attack on Nanyue because he already knew the significance of Nanyue to China. If he didn't take it down early and put it on the label of China, maybe something wrong would happen in the future.

"Okay, okay..." The First Emperor laughed a few times and continued: "From now on, you will be the commander of the Southern Expedition Army. I have no other requirements, but in the land of South Vietnam, you can decide on your own, and make up for the shortcomings. "

The first emperor was also a little dizzy because of Tu Sui's defeat. This order is like completely handing over the southern expedition army to Ziying.

"How long do you still need to be sent to the army?" After finishing the appointment, the First Emperor continued to ask.

Before Tu Sui was in South Vietnam, he sent letters asking for help every three days, and now he lost so many troops at once, so Ying Zheng asked Ziying how many soldiers he needed.

Hearing the first emperor's question, Wang Wan and the others began to have a headache. Today's Great Qin has not many idle troops, and if they add more, they can only continue to recruit from the people.

However, Ziying thought for a moment and said: "Now the army is strong enough, there is no need to recruit any more. However, Baiyue and our Great Qin have enmity, and it may take a long time to conquer again."

Hearing Ziying's words, Wang Wan even had the urge to hug Ziying. There was no need to replenish the army, and with 10 fewer people on the front line, the pressure on the logistics of the Great Qin Empire was much reduced. In the densely covered places, boats and vehicles are impassable, and in some places there are even no ready-made roads at all. The transportation of food and grass can only be done by manpower, and the efficiency is really low and scary.

At the time of Tu Sui, even if he gained an advantage in a short period of time, he did not dare to rush forward. A large part of the reason was that the logistics could not keep up.

"However, if we attack South Vietnam, I will ask Shi Huangdi to accompany you two people." Ziying thought for a while and continued.

"As far as I can tell, everything is allowed." The first emperor replied, not to mention two people for a while, even if Ziying wanted 2 applicants, he would agree without hesitation.

"First, Ren Xiao, and second, Shi Lu." Ziying immediately replied.

This is also Ziying's favorite candidate. Ren Xiao was the commander in chief who conquered South Vietnam in history. With him, even if he let go, nothing would happen. As for Shi Lu, it was to solve the logistics problem of the Qin army.

The famous Lingqu in history was built by Shi Lu.

Ren Xiao Yingzheng naturally knew that he had been demoted to a commoner because of his failure to attack South Vietnam before, but Yingzheng had no memory of who Ziying was talking about Shi Lu.

"Send Ren Xiao to return to the command of the King of Qin to obey the order. As for Shi Lu, who is he?" Ying Zheng said, looking at Ziying.

As soon as Ying Zheng spoke, Ziying's heart broke. "I don't have much involvement in the affairs of the court. I thought that Shi Lu who built the Lingqu in history should be a famous person, but judging from the meaning of the first emperor, I don't know who this Shi Lu is at all.

But the key problem is that I don't know where Shi Lu is..."

When Ziying was at a loss, a voice like the sounds of nature rescued Ziying from the siege.

"Shi Lu is the supervisor and imperial envoy of Changsha County. He is diligent and conscientious. Although he is in the lower county, he has been rated first-class in all previous evaluations."

Ziying searched for the sound, and found that the person who spoke was Feng Jie, the doctor of the censor, and Shi Lu, who heard his words, was the supervisor of Changsha County.

The imperial envoy happened to be the direct subordinate of Doctor Yu Shi in the county, so Feng Jie explained aloud when he heard Shi Lu's name.

When Yingzheng heard it, he was just a supervisor and envoy, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The military situation is urgent, and the time for Ziying's departure is set, three days later.
