Chapter 162 What to Fear

Moon God, Star Soul, Xiang Jun, Xiang Madam, Yunzhong Jun, and Young Master Siming.

In the small general tent, there are now so many masters of the Yin and Yang family gathered, and it is so luxurious that it is dazzling.

Because of an edict, all the people of the Yin and Yang family mobilized and went to Meng Tian's tent to listen to the order. Also because of an edict, the people of the Yin Yang family moved from Chencang in the rear to Ying Ziyi's tent.

As a high-ranking member of the Yin-Yang family and one of the most skilled masters in the world, he was tortured like this. It would be false to say that he had no complaints in his heart, even if that person was the prince of Qin.

But when Ying Ziyi walked into the general's tent, everyone became very obedient.

These are all old acquaintances. When Ying Ziyi sneaked into Yin Yang's house, he had some contact with these people. Especially Da Siming, she and Young Siming stood on the edge of the team, close to the curtain of the general's tent, looking very inconspicuous.

However, now that Ying Ziyi was right in front of them, the Yin Yang family didn't seem to notice it at all.

This is a very strange state. The people they were chasing in the past can now give orders to them. Ying Ziyi's face remained silent as he passed by Xinghun and walked towards the main seat in front of the tent.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Ying Ziyi sat on the main seat, and everyone in the Yin Yang family bowed.

"Get up!" Yingzi said calmly.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness."

"The reason why we have been recruited from Chencang is because of a difficult matter."

"Your Highness, please speak." It was Xinghun who spoke, and he said it before Moon God could.

"Shushan!"

"Shushan?"

"Shu Mountain resisted the emperor's orders several times, and His Majesty the First Emperor was furious and ordered me to attack Shu Mountain. However, Shu Mountain is very famous in the local area, and with the land of Bazhong, the mountain road is difficult to travel. Only the Yin and Yang family can open the way for our army. , on the road to attack Shushan this time, eliminate some unnecessary troubles."

"It is the honor of the Yin Yang family to serve His Highness the Crown Prince." Yue Hui bowed and said.

"Very good, the Yu Yuan guards in Shu Mountain are the most powerful guards in Shu Mountain. I want there to be no more Yu Yuan guards in this world within half a month. Can the Yin Yang family do it?" Ying Ziyi seemed to be sitting upright. Tired, he leaned forward gently on the desk in front of him.

The people of the Yin and Yang family looked at each other. They could not refuse Ying Ziyi's order. However, it would be a bit difficult to eliminate all Yu Yuan's guards in Shushan within half a month.

"The Yin Yang family will definitely fulfill the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince." Moon God said first. No matter what, the Yin Yang family must have a proper attitude towards the prince of the empire.

"Okay, you guys, please step back!" Ying Ziyi waved his hand, signaling for them to step back.

"My subordinates take their leave." Everyone bowed again and exited the general tent.

After walking far away, Xinghun suddenly sneered and said: "He comes as soon as you call him and goes away as soon as you wave him. Prince Qin is really majestic."

Xinghun didn't have a good impression of Prince Qin who was not much older than him, but was bossing him around.

"Within half a month, eliminate Yu Yuan's guards in Shu Mountain. Prince Qin wants to watch the Yin Yang family and Shu Mountain fight with both sides losing, so that he can reap the benefits." Yun Zhongjun was also quite dissatisfied with Ying Ziyi's order. , echoing Star Soul.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Luna's cold voice sounded, and she who was walking at the front suddenly turned around and looked at the people behind her.

Yes, as long as the Yin and Yang family relies on the power of the empire, then the prince of the empire will be the person with the highest status in the empire under Emperor Qin. The Yin Yang family must obey his orders.

There is nothing you can do!

Xiang Jun sighed and left with Mrs. Xiang far away. But the eldest young master, Siming, went in another direction. Moon God and Star Soul are obviously not together, and they are separated.

Although the Yin Yang family is powerful, it has been divided into several factions internally.

...

In the general account.

After many masters from the Yin and Yang family left, the generals from General Ying Ziyi came over to discuss the tactical move to attack Shushan this time. The masters of Shushan are dealt with by the Yin Yang family. But the soldiers and horses in Shushan are not something that the Yin and Yang family can deal with.

Zhang Han, Zhao Tuo, Ying Ziyi's personal guard leader Li San, Hei Xiong and others were all in the tent to listen to orders. And Han Xin was also standing beside Ying Ziyi, acting as his personal guard.

"The mountains in Bazhong are continuous, and the imperial army is not very familiar with the nearby terrain. Shushan is a local snake and has strong power and influence in the local area. We don't know how many people they can gather. Therefore, the subordinates are not It is recommended that the army advance lightly as it would involve the enemy too deeply.”

Zhang Han briefly explained the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and then put forward his own suggestions.

"I also believe that the imperial army should not get too involved in the enemy's forces for the time being. Scouts should be sent to explore the surrounding terrain and the number of enemy troops before making a plan." Zhao Tuo also agreed with Zhang Han's suggestion. said.

The two most outstanding generals under his command all said so. Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed not that easy to capture Shushan. The most important thing is that the empire's army has always been used to it. We have little experience in large-scale legion operations and offensive operations in mountains. This time is the best training."

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince mean?" Zhang Han asked.

"I want to establish an elite force dedicated to fighting in the mountains to prepare for future strategies."

"The future?" What did the four people in the tent vaguely feel?

At present, Emperor Qin's preparations for the southern expedition to Baiyue are top secrets in the empire, and only a few people know about it. Ying Ziyi didn't want to hide anything from his generals, and said, "Yes, in the future."

Having said this, Ying Ziyi paused, and the four people in the tent were obviously waiting for Ying Ziyi's answer.

"The empire is going to conquer Baiyue in the south!"

hiss.

Everyone present undoubtedly took a breath, is it finally about to begin!

In a sense, all the generals in the empire have been waiting for this moment since Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. Lord Shang made reforms and established twenty ranks of noble merit, turning Qin into a weapon of war.

Only war is the only meaning of the existence of Qin soldiers. After Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, there was no rival in the world. For the soldiers of the Qin Army, being invincible in the world is the greatest loneliness. So, they geared up and set their sights on Baiyue in the south and the wolf tribe in the north.

All the generals knew that Emperor Qin was going to take action against the two, but no one knew when Emperor Qin was going to take action. To the generals of the Qin State, the six kingdoms were destroyed, and the small Baiyue was nothing.

Looking at the happy faces of Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo, Ying Ziyi shook his head and said: "Baiyue is not so easy to deal with. The empire's army is good at large-scale legion operations on the plains. And the southern mountain road The terrain is rugged and smoky and cannot be used effectively. The combat effectiveness of the imperial army is unparalleled in the world, but in the south, the biggest enemy is not the barbarians, but the imperial soldiers themselves. Disease, malaria, climate, and logistics will be obstacles The biggest obstacle on the way forward for the imperial army. The barbarians are also different from the six eastern countries. Their folk customs are sturdy and extremely adaptable. Even if the imperial army attacks and destroys their walls, they can still escape into the mountains. Continue to resist. It will be extremely difficult for the empire’s army to subdue or eliminate them.”

After listening to Ying Ziyi's words, both Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo looked thoughtful. But there was a layer of understanding on Han Xin's face, as if he had thought of something.

"Shu Mountain is just a minor trouble after all, but it is also the best training stone. And this army..." Ying Ziyi focused on Zhao Tuo, "I plan to hand it over to you. Zhao Tuo."

"I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your kindness." Zhao Tuo knelt down on one knee and said excitedly.

"The king plans to control the number of this army to about five thousand. The sources of troops are also relatively mixed. Most of them are hunters and barbarians who are familiar with the mountains. And it is you who can bring them together to form a fighting force. mission. Zhao Tuo, do you understand?"

"I will live up to His Highness's expectations," said Zhao Tuo, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Okay, you all go down!" Ying Ziyi waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to step back.

In the big tent, there were only two people, Ying Ziyi and Han Xin.

"What did you want to say just now?" Ying Ziyi looked at Han Xin and asked.

"Brother, I was thinking, you just said that the biggest enemy of the empire in the southern expedition to Baiyue is the imperial soldiers themselves. But in fact, it can also be understood this way. The biggest problem for the empire if it wants to conquer Baiyue is the heavy logistics and land occupation. How to deal with it.”

"Do you have any good suggestions? Little brother Han." Ying Ziyi asked. As expected of Han Xin, he hit the nail on the head right away.

"I recently read history books and miscellaneous notes recording the customs of Baiyue, and found that war is not a simple military confrontation. For a general, everything can become a weapon for him to attack the enemy. In this world, , nothing is more exciting than land. Even the smog-covered land in the south can become fertile soil after development. The fields conquered by the six eastern countries are now being occupied by the soldiers, dignitaries and six of the empire. The aristocracy that surrendered to the country was divided. However, the war still caused a large number of people who lost their land. They were asked to go with the army. Every time the army of the empire captured a place, they were asked to garrison immediately and open up wasteland for garrison. Then they lured merchants to the south with huge profits. , circulation of goods, and flexible trading. As long as it is managed properly, Baiyue can stabilize in at least three to five years."

Ying Ziyi looked at Han Xin who was talking endlessly and thought to himself that he is really a monster! His advice actually coincided with his own, but Ying Ziyi did it because he had foresight. The Qin State failed to conquer Baiyue for the first time and learned from the bitter experience. Later, it used a similar method. After four or five years of preparation time, it conquered Baiyue again and finally pacified Baiyue.

And Han Xin actually gave such a feasible suggestion now. Princes, generals and ministers, all of them are appointed. How many people will there be in a thousand years?

Ying Ziyi glanced at Han Xin's pink face. In another world, he was just a commoner. With the help of Liu Bang, he finally wore three Qi royal seals on his waist and forced Wu Jiang, the overlord of Western Chu, to commit suicide in Gaixia. And in this world, with the power of himself and the Qin State as his backing, how far will he grow?

If a sword is too sharp, will it scratch you? Ying Ziyi finally understood why Han Emperor Gaozu was always worried about Han Xin and insisted on imprisoning him in Chang'an.

But Ying Ziyi is not Liu Bang after all. The biggest difference between him and Liu Bang is that he has time. When Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he was already very old. At that time, Han Xin was in his prime. Although Han Xin had no objection, Liu Bang would also be worried about whether his successor could control such a unique weapon. What happens if you can't control it? So when Han Xin rejected Xiang Yu's suggestion of dividing the world, his end was already doomed.

Ying Ziyi smiled and said, "That's right, but there's one thing you didn't expect."

"What is it?" Han Xin asked, looking like a curious baby.

"The empire is conquering the world, and more than a million people have been shed. Although the various places in Guandong are now stabilizing, it will still take time and a large number of people to restore the order of the past. Moreover, the Qin Emperor is recruiting labor and building construction projects. This will require a large amount of people. population. Between these two, how much more manpower can the empire have to migrate to Baiyue?" Ying Ziyi asked rhetorically.

Han Xin lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a while, Han Xin raised his head and said with sincere eyes: "Brother, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"What can't we brothers say in private?" Ying Ziyi chuckled.

Han Xin was a little moved, paused, seemed to be organizing his words, and finally said: "Brother, what Emperor Qin is doing now is not a long-term solution. I'm afraid..."

Hiss, this is really shocking. If Emperor Qin knew this, he might not be able to protect him.

Ying Ziyi stretched out his hand and stopped him: "I know what you want to say, and I also know your concerns very well."

"Then brother, you..." What Han Xin wants to say is, since you are the prince of Qin, why don't you advise the Emperor of Qin. But he thought about it and hesitated to say anything.

"No one in the world can stop what Emperor Qin wants to do, not even me." Ying Ziyi sighed, paused, and said, "Little brother Han, let me ask you a question. If one day , wars are rising everywhere, and everyone in the world is my enemy, what will you do?"

Hearing what Ying Ziyi said, Han Xin was stunned for a moment, but then he said disdainfully: "So what if we are enemies of the world? I'm not afraid, big brother, are you still afraid? The remaining tribes of the six countries, the wolf tribe Baiyue, but the earth You guys are like chickens and dogs. Emperor Qin was able to destroy the six kingdoms once, why can’t you, brother, destroy them again?"

Listening to Han Xin's heroic words, this time it was Ying Ziyi's turn to be stunned.
