Hmm, will that heroine in red agree?

Hehe, there are never too many cute girls, let's live happily together! "

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ah, it seems that he is not completely lacking in the ability of the emperor, at least in the point of "willfulness" he is still in the same line as the first emperor.

Why didn't I see this side of her before?

Three days later, the unbearable Jiang Liu and others left Xiang Liang alone in Xianyang City, and fled back to Chu State overnight.

Chapter 268: News from Baiyue

"Now is the right time for you to come back!"

As soon as he returned to Shouchun, before he had rested, Xiang Yu rushed to find him.

"Now we have a very important matter. If it is done, it will be of great help to future wars."

"what's up?"

Li Xiang and Jiang Liu glanced at each other, feeling a little confused.

Xiang Yu cheered up, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know Baiyue?"

"Baiyue?"

Li Xiang blinked: "I seem to have heard a story called "Taste the Bravery" and there is a Yue Kingdom in it."

"That has something to do with Baiyue but we can't wait and see. There is some difference...but I can't tell for a while."

Xiang Yu put his hand on the sword, unable to restrain his joy.

"Since the world has changed, the communication with the south has been cut off, but the elite scouts I sent out not long ago sent back news that they found the land of Baiyue, and there are still Qin troops stationed there!"

"Oh? Is it Zhao Tuo?" Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, "This is a force that cannot be ignored."

The so-called land of Baiyue actually refers to the coastal areas in southern China, including Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi today.

There are many tribes in this place, the number of which is difficult to count, so it is called "Baiyue".

The famous King Goujian of Yue, his Yue Kingdom in today's Zhejiang area, is also counted as one of the Baiyue, and it is the most powerful and famous one. At one time, he had the opportunity to break away from the barbarians like the Chu Kingdom and become one of the "Huaxia" circles.

But after the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, no powerful country appeared in the land of Baiyue, and even the whole south had only the Chu Kingdom as a powerful country.

There is no way, the degree of development in the northern region seems to be far higher than that in the south these years.

Speaking of it, although Fujian and Guangdong have developed very well in later generations, in the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago, it seemed that there was still a deep mountain and old forest that had not been developed much.

And not only the land of Baiyue, Chu State also has a large area of ​​undeveloped Daze, which looks quite large on the map, but there are not many places that can be used in reality - just refer to Russia.

Because of the population, there are still many places that have not been further developed at this time. Many lands of fish and rice in later generations are now barbaric places that are inaccessible.

In fact, there has been no shortage of land for a long time in China's history, but the phenomenon of "more people and less land" often occurs.

Firstly, it is really difficult to develop these wild lands, and there are not many places that are naturally suitable for farming.

Li Bing and his son have been sung for two thousand years because they designed Dujiangyan to turn Shu into a "Land of Abundance".

What is the Land of Abundance?To put it bluntly, it means being able to farm and feed people!

The second reason is land annexation, population hiding, natural disasters and man-made disasters, etc... This kind of thing is very difficult to say. I believe that as long as you know a thing or two about Chinese history, you will know the consequences of farmers losing their land.

The cause and effect are extremely complicated, and cannot be explained by a simple sentence of "more people and less land".

Qin Shihuang was a very far-sighted king. This can be seen from the series of things he did when he was in power. Whether it was the unification of weights and measures or the system of counties and counties, it was nothing more than strengthening the control of the core of power over the local grassroots.

In addition, there are things like unified currency and writing. The first emperor really did a lot of things.

As for "land", the most sensitive thing of the farming nation, Qin Shihuang naturally could not ignore it.

On the one hand, he sent Meng Tian to attack the Xiongnu in the north, regained the south of Hetao, and built the Great Wall to prevent the nomads from going south.

On the other hand, he did not ignore the ditches, marshes, and deep mountains and old forests in the south. Instead, he dispatched Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo as commanders, and led an elite team to conquer the land of Baiyue.

However, this war was not very smooth. The Qin army suffered a lot. It was obviously not suitable for the local environment and fighting in the mountains. Although it had laid down a lot of territory, it was not able to be further developed until the death of the first emperor, and the people's hearts were not stable. .

If the first emperor could live for another few decades, the situation in the land of Baiyue would be very different (provided that he did not ruin the country), but he died early.Moreover, as soon as he died, the world immediately entered a state of non-stop wars, and bandits in the Central Plains swarmed up.

At this time, the traffic between the north and the south was blocked. Not only could the Southern Army of the Qin State not go back, but they also had to guard against the backlash of the people of Baiyue, or the insurgents from the Central Plains going south... Life is quite tormented.

Historically, Zhao Tuo would guard every dangerous point and strictly defend the various forces in the Central Plains. However, he did not participate in the world competition. Instead, he established the "Nanyue Kingdom" in Baiyue and became the king here.

After Liu Bang's unification, some princes who couldn't recognize the general trend of the world planned to confiscate their territories, but they were all wiped out by Liu Bang one by one.

However, Zhao Tuo's Nanyue Kingdom properly expressed his humility and sincerity. Liu Bang accepted Zhao Tuo's nominal allegiance considering the emptiness of the country and his inability to conquer Baiyue.

Facts have proved that Liu Bang's judgment is correct. This place cannot be won in one or two battles at all. It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that South Vietnam was just destroyed, and the rule was not very stable.

But then again, this is the Xingyue singularity, not the orthodox history, and it is not surprising that the trend has changed a little.

Zhao Tuo has not established a country so far. After the death of the general Ren Xiao, he held nearly 200,000 elite troops from the Southern Army of the Qin Dynasty, and divided the territory of the three counties of Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun.

To be honest, it's not that he has never thought about being king. Although these three counties are not a rich place like the Central Plains, they are superior in their dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as they hold the key points, they can be as stable as Mount Tai.

But the biggest reliance in his hands is the Qin army... people will be homesick, and for most of the Qin army, the land of Baiyue is not a place where they can live and work in peace.

In addition, the people of Yue didn't really obey him very much. Although they surrendered now, they were stubborn and unyielding in their bones, and sooner or later they would rebel again.

He seems to be an emperor here, but he is actually walking on thin ice. If he is willing to spend decades to manage slowly, with his ability, he may not be able to truly rule for a lifetime, but who wants to spend their lives here?

If it weren't for the traffic cut off, he would have already raised his army and headed north!

"Then is traffic resumed now?"

Jiang Liu asked, "Has Zhao Tuo sent someone to talk?"

"Well, we have sent envoys to each other and communicated several times."

Xiang Yu said slowly: "Zhao Tuo was very happy to learn that we had formed an alliance with Qin, and he said that he could cooperate with us to fight against the White Huns. But now there is a problem that prevents him from dispatching troops on a large scale."

Jiang Liu frowned, knowing that the important point was coming, which was probably what Xiang Yu said.

"The north-south traffic has not yet been opened up. Most of the roads to South Vietnam are deep mountains and old forests. Now they are occupied by all kinds of monsters and monsters. It is impossible for the army to pass through."

Xiang Yu stood by his sword, and said awe-inspiringly: "I have decided that, in order to show the sincerity of the coalition forces, I will assist Zhao Tuo to open up the north-south road, wipe out the monsters, and open up a way for the southern expedition army to go home!"

PS: The following is the number of free words. Since Liu Bang is mentioned in this chapter, let’s chat with you.

Contrary to many people's impressions, Liu Bang's military ability is actually very good, he is not only good at holding thighs, he is relatively good at fighting among the princes at the end of Qin Dynasty, he can even beat Yingbu when he is old and sick, but he is not as good as Xiang Yu and Han Xin are just two cowards.

In the battle with the Huns, it is black history to rush forward and fall into the siege of Baideng.However, the Xiongnu besieged and fought for seven days and seven nights with superior forces, and still failed to defeat them. The Xiongnu Shanyu himself was quite guilty, and in the end both parties actually compromised.

If Liu Bang is really a rookie, with the consistent fighting style of the nomads, how could he let them go, and it would have turned into a massacre long ago.

In fact, the Xiongnu did not get any real benefits, and the strength of the Han Dynasty did not weaken too much. The only thing that hurt the national self-esteem was the marriage... with the kings like Tumubao and Sarhu who have won bronze records But it's not the same thing at all.

Then too many people died at the end of Qin, and Liu Bang's national power had not yet recovered, so he seemed very timid in diplomatic relations. He was timid until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty before he was able to confront the Huns head-on.

Liu Bang didn't kill the heroes very much, and all the princes and kings who had dissidents were swept away, just to exclude dissidents.

In general, Liu Bang is actually a very powerful feudal emperor, and he has been highly praised in history, and he is not as bad as many people think.

Of course, heroism and hooliganism can coexist...

Chapter 269: Night Talk

The sun rose and the moon set, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, with the help of the Twelve Golden Men and various puppet weapons that were reactivated, the Qin army stabilized the line of defense and restrained most of the White Huns. , and joined the Qin Nan expedition army in the land of Baiyue.

Before the heaven and earth changed, the two most powerful armies in the world were nothing more than the Great Wall Defense Army in the north and the Expeditionary Army in the south.

The former was the first army to be attacked by the White Huns. They suffered heavy losses, but they retained some vitality and escorted Fusu back to Xianyang to inherit the throne.The latter was isolated in Baiyue and had only recently been contacted.

But when Xiang Yu opened the way, this elite soldier could join the Central Plains battlefield as a new force, allowing the Qin & Six Nations Alliance's forces to completely overwhelm the White Huns.

It's just that this project is quite huge, and the construction difficulty of building roads in dense forests, deep mountains and great swamps will not be lower than that of plank roads in Shu.

Miasma, infectious diseases, parasites, poisonous snakes and beasts, sultry climate...these are still secondary, if you can find reliable scouts or help from local people, you can always overcome these problems slowly, but there is one Things that the soldiers of the Six Nations cannot defeat anyway.

- Monsters.

According to Chaldea's standards, it is a fantasy creature above the level of a monster.

Perhaps it is the reason why the mystery has not completely declined. Humans in this era generally have better physical fitness. If the soldiers cooperate with each other, ordinary monsters can also deal with it. After all, even the mutated White Huns could not completely defeat them. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is still good.

But in this environment that is no different from the Age of Gods, or is basically the Age of Gods, the strength and size of the monsters are by no means comparable to ordinary singularities!

Monsters like Chimera and Wyvern are nothing in this kind of place. They belong to the middle and lower layers of the pyramid, and those who can really gather together are all big guys that can rival Eudemons. Wild species found in ancient books.

Unlike the land of the Central Plains that has been developed for thousands of years, the land of Baiyue has a more serious phenomenon left over from the age of the gods. If you find a mountain or a river to cross, there may be a "master"...

For half a month, Jiang Liu and others followed the army. The sergeants overcame the thorns and thorns, and they were responsible for clearing the attacking monsters.

Among them, there was even a Fafnir-level mythical beast. Its appearance was similar to that of a mountain boar, but its body was like a mountain in the true sense. When it moved, it could be felt tens of miles away. At that time, everyone thought it was an earthquake.

Even if it was Jiang Liu, Xiang Yu, and Saber who joined forces, they managed to disintegrate it before causing heavy losses.

In addition, along the way, I could actually vaguely feel several powerful auras, but they were all lazy and uninterested in humans. They hadn't shown themselves before, so Jiang Liu and the others naturally wouldn't take the initiative to find trouble.

By the way, these days Jiangliu has also killed many phantom beasts of the dragon and snake species, but taking blood to bathe has no effect at all, and there is no hint in the [Vientiane Classic], but the poison resistance has increased a little...

Taking out the previous treasure, that is, the dragon blood gem induction obtained from Ping Jiangmen, there is no unnecessary reaction in the body.

It seems that it is not so easy to go further in the [Undefeated Hero], the threshold for physical training is quite high, it does not mean that it is enough to just kill a dragon.

At present, it seems that at least Fafnir's level of fame is needed, and it will take effect after bathing in dragon's blood.

But that kind of dragon is not everywhere...

After more than a month and a half of hard work, the first road to Baiyue was finally opened up. Although most of them are mountain trails that don't even have the word "flat", they have been able to make people feel at ease. People freely go in and out of the north and south, which has great symbolic significance.

And Zhao Tuo also sent his confidant generals out seven days later with a group of elites to contact Xiang Yu first.
