Saint Qin Batu

Among the crowd, a middle-aged general officer was talking with his friends around him worriedly.

"No, His Majesty has entrusted the northern land to General Wang Ben. The south is one of the few opportunities we have..." Another general nodded and said.

"It's a pity that you still opposed it back then!"

"Hey, didn't you believe the words of those literati? They said that the roads are impassable, the horses and chariots are not good enough, and this battle will be lost! Now that His Majesty wants to go south with all his strength, why should I worry about these things!" The general said with a little remorse. Said.

"General Li!"

While the two were talking, they saw a vigorous man walking towards Li Xin from his side.

"General Meng!"

Li Xin could not help but smile when he saw who was coming.When they attacked Chu in the past, the two had advanced together and retreated together, so naturally they had a lot of friendship.

"Hey, it seems that it's not my turn to wait for the chief general this time." The two generals looked at each other, and Ju Jie couldn't help but sighed softly.

"Dang! Dang!"

The heavy bell rang, and the ministers who were still whispering suddenly fell silent.

"Your Majesty is here!" Zhao Gao's voice sounded in the hall.

Ying Zheng finally came to the throne in the expectation of all the generals.

However, surprisingly, Ying Zheng seemed to have forgotten about the Southern Expedition.For a whole morning, they seemed to be only concerned about the construction of straight roads between counties.

It wasn't until noon that Ying Zheng suddenly thought of it, and said: "It's near winter, and it's also the time when the miasma and poison in the mountains and forests are the least. I think that the opportunity for the southern expedition has come. What do you think?"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Almost at the moment when Ying Zheng's words just fell, many generals who had been waiting a little anxiously immediately spoke in line with the words.

On the contrary, the civil servants on the side showed a trace of bitterness.Once the war starts, it means that the resources of the empire need to be tilted towards the military officer.

"The southern expedition is not a child's play. Who do you think can take on this important task?" Ying Zheng nodded and asked again.

Quiet, the military generals who were eager before suddenly stopped talking.Instead, they looked at Wei Liao, Li Si, and Feng Jie who were standing at the front.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Southern Expedition is a matter of great importance, and the people to be sent must be those with outstanding military exploits, and their military ranks must at least be made by the great masters." The person with the highest official position, so it is reasonable for him to be the first to speak.

Da Shangzao is No. 16 among the twenty military barons of the empire.Such a position can be said to be extremely high.There is only one condition, and three quarters of the generals in the court will be wiped out.

The rest of the people looked at Li Si more enthusiastically.

However, after Li Si raised such a condition, he kept silent again.On the contrary, Wei Liao, who was always reticent, stood up.

"The southern expedition to Baiyue may take several years, and the weather in Baiyue is hot and humid, so young generals must be selected. I think that those who are over [-] years old should not be included in the list!"

As soon as Wei Liao finished speaking, the hearts of most of the remaining generals went cold.

The position of great master is by no means easy to obtain.Unless it is a huge military exploit, otherwise, it needs to be continuously accumulated.How many of them are still young enough to win the position of Grand Master?

But now in the court, only Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, and Ren Xiao who also served under Wang Ben's command could meet this condition.

"The qualified ones come out!" Ying Zheng sat on the main hall and said with great interest.

Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, and Ren Xiao stood up one after another, walked out, and saluted Ying Zheng respectfully.

"Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​I know them all. On the contrary, it's you who can make such great achievements in battle. Why don't I have any impression?" Ying Zheng pointed to Ren Xiao, His Highness, and said.

"The last general is ashamed!" Ren Xiao lowered his head slightly, for fear of seeing the ridicule of his colleagues around him.

He is different from Meng Tian and Li Xin.Without such a wealthy background, it is naturally extremely difficult to get into the eyes of Ying Zheng when there is no one in the court.

Seeing Ren Xiao's slightly embarrassed look, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a smile.

Of course, it is impossible for Ren Xiao and Ying Zheng not to know each other.However, compared to the previous life, Ren Xiao at this time is much younger.

"You can make so many military achievements, but you still can't let me know, so it can be seen that your military achievements are not earth-shattering enough.

However, the ability to make great achievements is by no means a mediocrity.I, I can give you a chance, whether you can become famous in the world depends on yourself! "

Ying Zheng's words, like a thunderbolt, exploded in Ren Xiao's ears.

Chapter 4: Map of Baiyue

The vanguard general was chosen as if it was a child's play.

However, everyone present, no matter whether they were civil servants or generals, did not dare to complain.In addition to Ying Zheng's majesty, Ren Xiao's age and achievements made them unable to find any reason to object.

The weather is getting colder and colder. It will take some time to get from Xianyang to Changsha County.Therefore, Ren Xiao hardly stopped and set off the next day.

Although most of the Qin army in the Southern Expedition were from Changsha County, since the generals were all elites selected from Xianyang, their combat power is still beyond doubt.

What's more, when the Han-Chu allied forces fought against Baiyue, Baiyue was not their opponent.Not to mention fighting against the well-equipped Qin army.

So when the Qin army marched towards Nanling, those Baiyue who couldn't even find some decent weapons were no match for the Qin army at all.

Even those cottages are like paper in front of the Gongshu family's organ beasts.

However, considering the problem of food supply, although Ren Xiao's attack speed was very fast, the attack area seemed a bit narrow.

However, although Baiyue is on the frontal battlefield, it is not the enemy of the Qin army.However, after all, few soldiers of the Qin Army lived in the mountains and forests.

Relying on their familiarity with the mountains and forests, the soldiers of Baiyue were always able to give the Qin army a sneak attack in the dark.

These sneak attacks did not cause much loss to the Qin army, but they seriously affected the Qin army's rest.At the same time, the ubiquitous sneak attacks are also a spiritual torture to the soldiers of the Qin army.

As time passed day by day, the weather gradually warmed up.The originally withered trees also began to gradually return to life.

Those snakes, insects, rats and ants that had disappeared for a season also slowly recovered.The miasma in the mountains and forests began to spread again.

In Xianyang, letters from Baiyue were quietly placed on Yingzheng's desk.

"Father, General Ren has lived up to his trust and has already defeated the main forces of Yang Yue, Han Yue, and Wu Yue.

It's just that it's almost summer.The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Many soldiers, especially the generals, are mostly from Guanzhong. The difference in winter is not too big. When summer comes, many soldiers may fall ill.

Moreover, Mitsukoshi is undeterred and often sneaks up on the imperial army. If things go on like this, I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army..."

Under the main hall, Li Si, Wei Liao, Feng Jie and other important officials were all present.And Fusu, who was reporting to Yingzheng, was obviously very familiar with the Baiyue war, and could tell everything in detail.

Seeing that Fusu was becoming more and more proficient, Yingzheng nodded with satisfaction, but then said, "You still missed one thing. When summer comes, food and grass in the army will be a big problem."
