Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 374 Shi Lu

After Tu Sui died in battle, Zhao Tuo led the rest of the Qin army to retreat to Lingling City, but once out of the mountains and forests, the Nanyue people were powerless to fight against the Qin army, so for a while, the Qin army did not take the initiative to attack, and the Nanyue people did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack. A fortified city guarded by a large army.

The South Vietnam battlefield became strangely quiet.

When Ziying arrived, it was such a harmonious scene. After summoning Zhao Tuo to understand the current situation, Ziying was obviously very satisfied.

The first thing I came here was to build the Lingqu, and the environment of fighting and killing was obviously very unsuitable for building the Lingqu in a safe and stable manner.

When the construction of the Lingqu Canal is completed and the problem of food and grass is solved, the South Vietnamese people may not be able to cry at that time.

Although the exact location of the Lingqu Canal in history is not clear, the Lingqu Canal connects the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. knew.

Ziying has already inquired about it before, and the place where the two tributaries run parallel is not very long, so just take Shi Lu to look at it when the time comes.

If he can't do it himself, he will definitely be able to find the most suitable position.

"Is Shi Lu here?"

After listening to Zhao Tuo's introduction, Ziying hurriedly asked who he wanted to see the most.

In history, Shi Lu was able to choose a suitable location under such harsh conditions and build a spiritual canal in the midst of war. Ziying is still quite interested in this great water conservancy engineer.

Although Zhao Tuo in front of him was also a celebrity, and later became the famous Emperor Wu of South Vietnam, in Ziying's eyes, in this era, finding a great engineer was much more difficult than finding a few generals.

"When we arrived, Lingling City is located in Changsha County. Shi Yushi (Shi Lu did not record his surname, because he was called Shi Lu because he was a supervisor and imperial envoy, and he is directly called Shi Lu here for the sake of convenience) has already arrived at the post. The hall has been waiting for the king for more than ten days."

Although Zhao Tuo didn't understand how Ziying cared about a warden for peace, Ziying, who was the same age as him, was an idol in Zhao Tuo's heart.

A boy of this grade, who never dreamed of being able to ride a horse and raise the whip, and make indelible feats, although Zhao Tuo himself is considered to be a leader among his peers, but compared with the Qin King in front of him, this little military achievement is really insignificant.

It can be said that Ziying has always been Zhao Tuo's idol.

Zhao Tuo has carefully studied all the battles that Ziying has experienced, and the more he studies Zhao Tuo's strategy for Ziying, the more he admires Ziying's strategy, as if Ziying can predict the enemy's first opportunity every time. .

Moreover, every inadvertent arrangement by Ziying can play a vital role, so after knowing that Shi Lu was specially recruited by Ziying, Zhao Tuo naturally paid great attention to Shi Lu.

This man named Shi Lu must be able to help the King of Qin in the South Vietnam War. However, after Zhao Tuo investigated Shi Lu's experience, although his political achievements were good, he really couldn't think of any aspect that Shi Lu could help the King of Qin.

"Call him!" Hearing that Shi Lu had arrived, Ziying ordered immediately.

"By the way, in the future, Ren Xiao will be in charge of the South Vietnam Army temporarily."

"promise……"

……

Shi Lu looked only in his thirties, and when he came in, he saw Prince Qin, who was full of legends in the whole Qin Dynasty, and he couldn't help being secretly surprised.

He had long heard that King Qin was relatively young, but he never thought he would be so young.

In his 20s, although he is no longer considered a teenager, when he thinks about Ziying's achievements, he is really not in line with this grade. Such a character must be dealt with carefully.

Thinking of this, Shi Lu couldn't help but deeply lowered his head.

"Be careful, don't let King Qin discover anything." Shi Lu thought quietly in his heart.

Seeing Shi Lu's arrival, Ziying immediately greeted him very warmly, without any airs of being the king of Qin.

"Shi Yushi, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Ziying's fault, and the name of the censor, Ziying's presence in Xianyang is also like a thunderbolt." Such high-level talents have a high status in the hearts of Ziying from later generations. It must not be viewed by its official position.

Ziying's enthusiasm immediately made Shi Lu a little dizzy. Am I really so famous in Xianyang?
However, although Shi Lu was a little dizzy, he didn't lose his basic judgment, and he didn't give up some concealment because of Ziying's enthusiasm for him.

Because of his secret, once known by King Qin in front of him, he might not know how he died, so he must be modest and cautious.

"I don't know what orders His Royal Highness King Qin has for recruiting ministers?" Shi Lu asked Ziying with his head bowed like a wooden man, and asked aloud in front of Ziying's enthusiasm.

In this case, Ziying was not too surprised. In his impression, such experts and scholars who are obsessed with the cause of "science" should be so "unfriendly".

"If I want to build a canal to communicate with the Lishui River, so as to solve the problem of our army's food and grass transfer, I can't do it!" Ziying said with a smile.

After Ziying finished speaking, beads of sweat immediately oozed from Shi Lu's forehead. Although the weather in the south of the Lingnan could not be said to be cold, Shi Lu felt the chill go deep into his bones.

I have been studying water conservancy, but few people know about it except my friends from the same school, and I have never touched water conservancy projects in my tenure as a supervisor. How could the king of Qin want to build such a large water conservancy project by himself? .

Although it has always been Shi Lu's dream to be able to preside over the construction of such a huge water conservancy project and to leave a name in history, but the dream can only be realized if it takes life.

Could it be that his identity has been somewhat exposed? Otherwise, how would King Qin know that he is good at water conservancy work?

"Such a job, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Shi Lu replied with a trembling voice.

"Shi Yushi don't want to decline, I know your ability very well, who can achieve this in the whole world, who else can you?" Ziying said very firmly, Shi Lu looked so unbearable under his domineering aura, Fully satisfying Ziying's self-confidence as a time traveler, have you seen it, I am finally a figure in history.

"Go back and make preparations. Tomorrow we will find out where the excavation is more appropriate." Ziying didn't give Shi Lu any time to refute, and directly set the itinerary.
