Wait a minute! Isn't Ji Bu a Chu person? How did he become the five hundred lords of the Qin army, and Lu Zhe was very sure that he hadn't seen this person when he met with the five hundred lords before, why did he suddenly come out?
Lu Zhe stopped himself from subconsciously stepping back to avoid danger, his eyes stared at Ji Bu with a happy face, and the strange feeling in his heart lingered.
Ji Bu is a general under Xiang Yu! Lu Zhe is very sure of this, at least this is how "Chu and Han Fight" on the film and television works is played. The reason why he will remember Ji Bu is very simple, not that he thinks this person is so powerful in history, but about the idiom of "a promise is a thousand gold".
"The main general, I have captured some Baiyue people." Ji Bu raised his head proudly, "It is up to the Lord to decide whether to kill or chop." β
Jib's words and deeds were not unusual in the slightest, and he was completely immersed in the joy of victory.
No matter how Lu Zhe looks at it, it doesn't look like he wants to avenge Fan Zeng? That means that Ji Bu is not from Xiang's side now. But...... But isn't Ji Bu a Chu person, how could he become the five hundred lords of the Qin army?
Lu Zhe said: "Why haven't I seen you?" β
Being asked like this, Ji Bu seemed a little embarrassed: "Back to the main general, I was sick for a while before I took office." β
Sick? Although the light is not very sufficient, no matter how Lu Zhe looks at Ji Bu, he does not look like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness. Opposite. Compared with Ji Bu, who was full of red face, his pale face was more like he was sick.
Although he still had doubts in his heart, Lu Zhe praised: "Very good." This battle is worth your credit! β
Ji Bu bowed his hand and turned his head to look around with a very proud look.
At this time, Lu Zhecai looked at the captured Baiyue people, and he walked in to check the tattoos on the prisoners.
Lu Zhe, who probably knows some tattoo habits, recalled that each tattoo of the Baiyue people has its corresponding meaning, and the tattoos on the more than 100 people captured by this group are basically some plant types, and the totem is quite different from the animal tattoos of Ouyue.
"Huh. It seems that not only the troops on my side are mixed, but the troops formed in the form of tribes on the side of the Baiyue people may be even worse. β
Ambush and no reinforcements, this is clearly a kind of ambush success is earned. The mindset of failure doesn't matter is deployed.
However, there is one thing that Lu Zhe almost certainly came down to, there must be far more than 20,000 people in Baiyue. He looked at the dark forest behind the scattered bonfires of the Baiyue people, and muttered to himself, "How many people are still hidden there?" β
Lu Zhe thought of this and looked at Ji Bu again. It was a great pleasure to see some of the five hundred lords conversing with him. A fog shrouded in a wide open net.
Lu Zhe, who hadn't slept for three days and three nights, turned around, "Leave the necessary vigilance troops and rest the rest." Before the words fell, the people had already gone away.
Back in the tent, Lu Zhe looked so simple that it was only a sleeper covered with weeds, and then looked at the rest of the place without any furnishings, paused and reflexively opened the tent curtain and walked out. About five minutes later, he returned. Walk over and lie down.
Does the horse make a "purring" sound after lying down? Nope.
Even though it's very exhausting, sometimes that's it. When I am worried, I can't fall asleep no matter how sleepy I am. Lu Zhe's eyebrows kept fluttering when he closed his eyes, which was a reaction only when his mind kept turning around and thinking.
Unable to sleep peacefully, the more he wants to fall asleep, the more awake he becomes, this is almost an uncontrollable phenomenon, and he is constantly analyzing in his mind how many troops the Baiyue people will have, and what kind of person Yi Huze is.
There was also something wrong with the two battles during the day and night, as if the Baiyue people were not in a hurry to crush the Qin army that was in the way, and rushed to Jiangling as fast as they could.
It can be predicted that there is definitely more than one Baiyue people who attacked, and now that Yi Huze is leading troops to gather here, what are the Baiyue people in other places doing?
What is the purpose of Baiyue people's pause here? Is it because Yi Huze is not confident in the combat effectiveness of his troops, or is it because of something?
There is so little information that a lot of things can only be calculated by relying on some details, but there are so few details that such calculations are actually similar to conjecture, and cannot be used as actual conjecture.
"It's the third day since the turmoil broke out, how could the Baiyue people get the news so quickly?"
Lu Zhe decided to peel back the cocoon.
"There are two speculations. The first was that the Zheng and Zhao clans had already contacted the Baiyue people before they planned a rebellion; The second is that the Baiyue people originally planned to attack Gangneung. β
Sixteen days, Lu Zhe left Yiling for only sixteen days.
"When I was presiding over Yiling, the Zheng clan, the Zhao clan, or the other remnants of the Six Kingdoms had already planned to rebel? Otherwise, it's just ten days, how did they say that they moved the Baiyue people!? β
It shouldn't be like this, at least when Lu Zhe supported Yiling, he didn't find any signs of turmoil, and at that time, these remnants of the Six Kingdoms only showed panic and hesitation.
Lu Zhe is actually more inclined to the second point, so that means that no matter whether there is turmoil or not, the Baiyue people will come to attack?
Something seems wrong? Suddenly, he sat up!
"Yes! Fan Zeng, it must be him! β
Lu Zhe's mind flashed the picture of Fan Zeng being cut off by his head, and vaguely remembered that Fan Zeng struggled before he died, but his demeanor was a little calm when he confirmed that he was inevitable.
That kind of calm Lu Zhe didn't think about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it's very wrong!
"It should be interrogated!"
Some understand that Fan Zeng's power will definitely not come to Nanjun for a day or two, and this can be deduced from the map that is almost finished.
The old nobles of the Six Kingdoms who are trying to regain their privileges by all means have no concept of luring wolves into the room, even if there are wolves entering the room, they are also entering the room of the Qin State, all they have to do is to disturb the Qin State!
"They have been contacting the Baiyue people for a long time, so it means that whether there is turmoil in Yiling or not will not change the fact that the Baiyue people attacked. For Fan Zeng, the turmoil in Yiling was an accident! β
Butterfly effect. The word popped into Lu Zhe's mind for a moment.
It only makes sense to use this explanation, it is his appearance that carries the "cause" of the Yiling riot, and it is his actions after being imprisoned and taken over by Baili Qu that the corresponding "fruit" can be obtained.
"Hehehe!" There was an eerie laugh. Lu Zhe lay down again, "That means that my appearance disrupted the plans of those anti-Qin elements, at least caused them to have an accident outside of the plans, and also made Fan Zeng fall before the anti-Qin storm rolled up." β
History has changed, there's no doubt about that.
"Regardless of whether it changed history or not, anyway, I am not familiar with the history of the late Qin Dynasty. But...... As you can imagine. The anti-Qin plan of the former ministers of the Six Kingdoms has been planning and going on. β
Lu Zhe decided not to think about it for the time being, and pulled his mind back to the current priority.
It was not an accident that Yi Huze led the army to attack, which was especially important to Lu Zhe. He was already certain that he was about to face more than 20,000 enemy troops.
"During the day and including the night, the loss of troops by the Baiyue people has been almost 10,000,......" Lu Zhe sighed, "I was planning to delay time!" Now it's okay, there is no need to delay the time at all. It's really not possible to quickly deal with this enemy force. β
In dim light. The eyes that weren't closed were blinking.
For a long time, Lu Zhe has never thought about supporting Jiangling, he is difficult to protect himself, and he wants to have an opportunity to rise. In his opinion, it is enough to make a gesture of support.
Is it ambition? Lu Zhe is very sure that this is ambition. However, he hadn't figured out what to do next. The only thing that is certain now is that whatever choice he has to make in the future, he must have the power to control it.
Gangneung is a bigger whirlpool than Yiling, Yiling is only 80,000 or 90,000 remnants of the Six Kingdoms can be chaotic like this, and Jiangling with more than 200,000 remnants of the Six Kingdoms will be much better than Yiling.
Now for Lu Zhe, the most correct thing to do is indeed as Fan Zeng and Yan Bi said. With tens of thousands of troops, watch the storm rise in Gangneung. And...... He had a mentality that he would never say to anyone, that is, he hoped that the chief and deputy commanders of the Southern Expeditionary Army would die in chaos.
Lu Zhe's idea that Tu Sui and Ren Huan would die in the rebellion was simple. These two commanders and deputy commanders have been fighting in the south since they arrived in southern Xinjiang, and they have not paid attention to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, including Baiyue. Therefore, in his opinion, the commander who is not on the enemy but internal, for whatever reason, is no longer suitable to lead the southern invasion. Both of them are dead, and the Southern Expeditionary Army is the best result!
Of course, Lu Zhe was not naΓ―ve enough to think that Tu Sui and Ren Huan would be the next commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army after they died.
The target of the Baiyue people was Gangneung, and it was an established fact that they had been planning the main target of the attack for so long and could not be changed.
There will be more and more enemy troops coming, and Lu Zhe is very sure of this.
"It's time to strengthen the flanks......"
After saying this sentence in a daze, Lu Zhe finally fell asleep.
In a distant place, the Zheng and Zhao clans, who had been stationed, were also thinking.
During the daytime march to Jiangling, they had already fought a battle with the Qin army, facing less than 3,000 Qin troops and 20,000 men attacking four times, each time leaving a large number of corpses and unable to win.
Gangneung was close at hand, but the rebel army with the advantage of numbers was blocked out and could not advance an inch, and the Zheng and Zhao clans were desperate for revenge, so they sent people into Gangneung in a roundabout way to contact the people from the same six countries, and they were preparing for an offensive overnight.
Night battles will kill people, a lot of people, but they don't care, don't care at all.
"I can't live anymore! Then pull more people to accompany the funeral! β
The two sides held torches, one shouted and roared, the other was silent, and different postures staged a common blood flow.
When the 20,000 rebels approached Jiangling, they had been discovered by the Qin army, but Tu Sui and Ren Huan, who had been reported, had different moods.
For Tu Sui, whether he can suppress this turmoil or not, he feels that it doesn't matter.
The Southern Xinjiang Army is a mess, this mess is destined to get worse because of the riot, and it is impossible to carry out the southern invasion for at least a year, and Tu Sui's fate is also doomed because of this riot, and he will be dismissed if he does not die in battle.
This old man really wanted to complete the mission of the First Emperor's southern invasion, but there was a deputy marshal who had been pulling his back, so that all preparations for the southern invasion had been at a standstill.
It may be very sad to say, Tu Sui after Song Bo took a school of men and horses to raze the tomb to quell the rebellion. There were no more troops around him that could be commanded.
In the face of the attack of 20,000 chaotic soldiers, as the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Tu Sui sadly found that even if he had been in battle for a long time and had a thousand strategies, he was powerless.
There was a moment. Tu Sui really wanted to ask Cangtian, the First Emperor didn't trust him and appointed him as the commander, since he was appointed as the commander, he still sent such a villain as Ren Huan to contain him.
Yes, Ren Huan is a villain, and Tu Sui knows this better than anyone else.
Didn't Tu Sui find out that Ren Huan was wooing anyone who could be wooed? He knew the Tao but couldn't stop it, all because Ren Huan might have the secret instructions of the First Emperor.
As the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Tu Sui was unable to ask Emperor Shi what instructions he gave to Ren Huan. But he really didn't understand. There is still reason to explain the struggle for power and profit, but why does Ren Huanwei have all kinds of incomprehensible contacts with those criminals of the Six Nations?
Tu Sui did not think in the direction of Ren Huan to collude with the criminals of the Six Nations to divide southern Xinjiang, he stubbornly believed that the Six Nations had perished. Any repetition of the mighty Qin State is in vain, and Ren Huan will not be stupid enough to collude with the criminals of the Six Kingdoms to do such a stupid thing.
"For what? What is Ren Huan doing this for! β
yes, for what? In fact, Ren Huan also didn't understand what he was thinking.
Ren Huan, who has an elite school, is more like the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, who sent a guard force to block the offensive direction of the chaotic army. Send someone to invite the leaders of the tribes and clans of the six countries who were already on good terms.
Ren Huan has indeed been wooing all the people who can be wooed since he arrived in southern Xinjiang. Ask yourself. He smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, he always felt that there was a faint danger approaching, and he wanted to explain what danger this was and it was not enough for outsiders.
What kind of intuition, sixth sense, or something...... Then you have to go to metaphysics.
In fact, Ren Huan didn't feel that Great Qin was impregnable, and he came into contact with many things as a guard captain, including the plans of the former ministers of the Six Kingdoms, including the fact that the First Emperor had been pursuing immortality recently......
Stop the plots of the former ministers of the Six Kingdoms? Some. Ren Huan did it when he was a guard captain, but he could only extinguish the danger on the bright side, but he couldn't kill the undercurrent. Really to stop it completely. He thinks that the only way to do this is to kill all the people of the Six Nations, but this is obviously impossible.
He can see from all kinds of signs that the First Emperor no longer feels that there is anyone in the world who can threaten the rule, and the only remaining enemy of the First Emperor is the constant aging and time.
This is the first step of stupidity! Combined with it, he did not cherish the people's power, did not give the old Qin people war dividends, and did not set up a prince for decades.
Wei is old, Wang Jian is old, Sima Cuo's descendants simply live in seclusion, Heng's, Chu's, Xiong's, Bai's, Xi's, and so on...... The families who once made great contributions in the battle of reunification, more and more of them chose to retire and retire, and made a gradient regardless of the world.
Do you really think that the world is a big horse to put Nanshan?
No! No! These people are fleeing the looming danger! There may be a danger that the family will break off the inheritance!
Wang Qian's descendants still have no way to completely retreat because of their marriage with the royal family, and then there are some family children who are not greedy enough, just like the seemingly beautiful Montessori who does not know how to advance or retreat.
How many old families are there in the Qin State, how many families have risen and fallen in more than 500 years, why is it that when the time comes to unify and reap all the dividends, only the beautiful Montessori remains, has no one thought about this?
Ren Huan thought of it, so he was afraid, he hesitated.
The great fear under the great unification, Ren Huan ridiculed those families who chose to retreat, thinking that they only saw risks and did not see opportunities. At the same time, he also laughed at those maggots-like traitors, and what the First Emperor should do before he died was to accumulate strength, not to jump up and down to expend strength.
Strength is strength, Ren Huanwei came to Nanjiang, because he saw the emptiness of the power of the Nanjiang family and saw hope!
"It's coming, it's really fast."
Ren Huan knew what was going on, the First Emperor had been swallowing some inexplicable pills, and the more he ate, the faster he would die.
The people sent to invite the clan and clan returned, and Ren Huan learned that all the invitees would come, and at that moment he showed a triumphant smile.
"Tu Sui, it's just a stepping stone."
Left and right, the smile on Ren Huan's face stiffened with the passage of time.
The time for the appointment to meet has long passed, and none of the people who said they were going to come have arrived. And it seems that it is too eerily quiet outside.
Huo Di stood up, almost the moment Ren Huan just stood up, and the noisy noise resounded.
A soldier rolled into the tent in a panic. He spoke incoherently: "Zhao Xi was killed!" The 10,000 prisoners and the people of the Six Nations also rioted! β
Ren Huan sat down weakly again: "What are you doing?" What the hell is it for! Don't they understand that it is self-defeating to start a rebellion now?! β
The louder and louder noise kept coming, and the sound of fighting seemed to be heard outside, and Ren Huan got up again and walked out of the tent.
Almost earth-shattering screams filled everywhere, the clouds in the sky were gray from the light of the fire on the ground, and people were running everywhere as far as the eye could see.
Surprisingly, Ren Huan was still muttering to himself despite some fear: "Strange, they know that the back of the road will be suppressed by the Qin army that is constantly coming. Why do you choose to rebel now? β
The 3,000 Qin soldiers who resisted the Zheng and Zhao clans were routed under the front and rear attacks, and they could not choose the road when they retreated in an environment full of enemy troops, and some Qin troops who still maintained the formation of 500 were first rushed into scattered squads. Then it was like a rag being torn again, and finally disappeared into the waves of the rebels.
Tu Sui also came out of the big tent, compared with Ren Huan's fear and incomprehension, the general seemed calm.
There were only 10,000 Qin troops in the entire southern county. Previously, relying on the mighty military force, he was able to suppress three or four hundred thousand criminals of the six countries. But that's only without Mars.
The first spark was ignited in Yiling, and it was inevitable that it would become a prairie fire, and Tu Sui knew this very well. His heart was full of mockery at this moment, the First Emperor was so proud that he thought that the crime of destroying the country was a flock of lambs to the slaughter. He even thinks that the First Emperor is really old, even if he is only in his forties, the measures made by Zhong Huazhong this year prove that he is old.
"Hope isn't out of control...... Tu Sui muttered in the direction of Yiling, "can they take on the task of turning the tide?" β
Sending the only army around him is an attempt and an opportunity, and the disheartened Tu Sui can't influence the will that the First Emperor may or may not have. But he made his own efforts.
The riots of the sinful people of the Six Nations will be extinguished, and no one will deny it. However, Tu Sui believed that the Southern Expeditionary Army could no longer be destroyed from the establishment before the official expedition.
"Hehe, Ren Hustle!" Tu Sui smiled calmly, "Stepping stones, all of us are stepping stones." He looked at the chaotic soldiers who were rushing over, and looked at the soldiers who drew their weapons to meet them, "It's just ...... Whose stepping stone will it be? β
Lu Zhe opened his eyes very suddenly, and when they opened them, they did not have the confusion or stagnation when they woke up from sleep.
After listening attentively, Lu Zhe felt that it was not an illusion, he really heard the noise!
"What's going on? There was a commotion, and no one came to report it! Climbing up, ignoring the grass clippings on his body, Lu Zhe grabbed the long sword next to him and walked out of the tent, he saw many people looking to the northeast and also looking: "What a bright cloud......"
It is not the light of the horizon, it is the light that only appears when the ground reflects the clouds in the sky, which is completely different from the rising sun.
"Commander!" Li Yuncong looked a little out of breath, "Jiangling...... Gangneung ......"
Lu Zhe didn't know how long he had been asleep, he looked at Li Yuncong who was full of panic, "Yes, it's Jiangling." Reaching out and touching his temple, which hurt a little, "What time is it?" β
"Who cares about the hour!" Li Yuncong almost cried, "Jiangling has been attacked!" Gangneung was attacked! β
Lu Zhe kicked Li Yuncong, who had lost his square inch, away, and shouted, "Someone!" Walking quickly to the fence in front of him, he looked at the enemy troops on the opposite side, "Blow the horn and shout everyone up." β
The number of campfires in the camp of the Baiyue people has not changed, and it still looks black.
"Order the whole army to be quiet, and kill those who make more noise!" After Lu Zhe finished speaking to Wei Han, he looked at the camp of the Baiyue people again, and looked at the few five hundred lords who came from behind, "Gather the troops, and at the same time send people to throw torches in front!" β
The horn of "Woo woo woo-" was blown, and the occasional angry rebuke could be heard, and after a few screams came out, the camp finally fell silent.
The soldiers with torches were throwing forward, and after throwing the torches, they would push forward, and then make the torch throwing motion again, and so on for a mile or so before returning.
Lu Zhe, who had been paying attention, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the Baiyue people did not launch a sneak attack when there were signs of chaos in the camp, otherwise they would be attacked only after a little internal chaos, and a night battle with heavy losses would be inevitable.
After making sure that the enemy army did not sneak attack, Lu Zhe covered his sore head and walked over and kept kicking Li Yuncong, who was still crying, "What are you crying about!" Something that has not been accomplished," he looked at some Qin soldiers who were also crying and mourning, "Do you want to cause a roar!! β
Many Qin soldiers don't understand, it's Jiangling, it's Jiangling! Why is the commander of Gangneung still indifferent to the attack, which is Gangneung, where the commander is stationed!
Lu Zhe's head really hurt, it was the sequelae of lack of sleep and overreaction. He raised his eyes and looked around, and his hand guided the enemy camp: "Is it useful to be in a hurry?" I want to rush to the aid of Jiangling and kill the Baiyue people who are in the way! β
The corners of Yan Bi's mouth, who was hiding in the shadows, pulled up a certain amplitude, and he could see that the Qin Jun present heard those words, and all his eyes turned fiercely to the Baiyue camp in the south.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Yan Xiang, who had already planned at the beginning, thought of a sentence that Lu Zhe had unconsciously said, that is-respond to the order of the time!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Well, the biggest turning point of the book is finally written. (To be continued......)
