Chapter 405: The Layout Begins (Part II)

Sima Xin is a general, and more than half of the 50,000 troops are soldiers, these are all true.

The state of Zhao and the state of Chu jointly created rumors that LΓΌ Zhe sent the surrendered Qin army south with the intention of killing people with a knife, and this news did not happen recently, but two months before Sima Xin led the army south.

When the Baiyue envoys entered Luo County, the army they heard and saw did not continue to move south, and the soldiers of the entire Luo County were more about strengthening the fortifications.

Sima Xin captured Luoxian and put on a defensive posture, what was revealed here was a different kind of information, what the Baiyue envoys thought was that the rumors were indeed true, and the Qin army in the south was not very aggressive at all, that is, it was a sense of war, more like a helpless self-preservation.

Not being aggressive is very important to Bai Yue, combined with the spying under Lu Zhe, Lu Zhe has no signs of gathering troops to the south again, so the credibility of the rumors that Lu Zhe let Qin surrender generals and troops to the south is a few points more credible.

The Baiyue envoy saw Sima Xin in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the Sima Xin he saw had a contradictory temperament, as if he wanted to struggle but was helpless.

Sima Xin's helplessness didn't look like pretending, but in fact, there was no need to pretend at all, because some of what Wu Rui said really stimulated the southern lieutenant general.

Wu Rui didn't mention what he said to Sima Xin for the time being, and the Baiyue envoy said that the Sima Xin he saw was in an obvious hesitation, which made the Baiyue envoy have more confidence in persuading Sima Xin.

The lobbyist's words always begin with a few sentences, such as "I am here to save the general", and what "the general will die soon". Although Baiyue is a barbarian, he is not unable to do this.

"Don't talk nonsense, your lord sent you to persuade you to surrender, please go back, although I know that it is difficult to survive. But I don't want to be with animals yet. Sima Xin knows how to act, and he does not show his weakness because he will be abandoned.

Baiyue people are not stupid, how can they not know that Sima Xin is talking about the wreak havoc of those who have lost their conscience to the Changsha people, he said: "There has never been mercy in the war, and the Changsha people follow Wu Rui to fight is worthy of admiration, but they also have to pay the price for their actions, obviously as the victorious side, how we treat those who have resisted is not cruel." Just like the Qin State defeated the Zhao State, and then killed 400,000 Zhao State troops, isn't it a great cause? ”

Fallacies? It's not all heresy. As the victorious side, as the strong side, if you win the battle and treat the defeated according to your own will, you really can do whatever you want.

Wu Rui, who was hiding in the inner tent, instantly bit the root after hearing that sentence. He clutched his head in pain. Maybe I was thinking that Baiyue people were right, and the reason why Changsha people have their current miserable situation is precisely because they follow him.

Sima Xin's cheeks couldn't help twitching, he secretly glanced at the curtain of the back tent, afraid that Wu Rui would rush out like that, but that scene didn't happen. He turned his gaze to the Baiyue envoy and asked in surprise: "Looking at the words, it is obvious that he is a well-informed person." ”

"I have been to the Qin State in the lower west, and I have been to the Yan State in the north. He once studied in Qi and spent time in Handan. The smile on the face of the Baiyue envoy was full of a kind of teasing: "I have walked so many places. In the next beginning to understand your thoughts, wars are always only won and lost, moral rhetoric is just a decoration, as long as you can always win, the more people you kill, the more heroes you are. ”

"Zhengnan General Zhe, killed 30,000 Guiyue in the battle of Yiling, killed 70,000 Minyue and Ouyue in the battle of Jiangling, and slaughtered nearly 200,000 Baiyue in the battle of Qianzhong, is he a hero?" Sima Xin asked.

"It's a hero." The Baiyue envoy was still laughing, and he didn't mind at all: "There are only winners and losers, and the victorious side is always righteous." This sentence came from the mouth of General Zhengnan, who asked the general to lead the army to his death. ”

A stunned expression appeared on Sima Xin's face.

"The general was originally a Qin general, and he led the army to attack Lu and surrendered. Lu Hou stood up in Nanjun, and then captured five counties, although he still held the military flag of the word "Qin", as if he was already a country. Does the general think that what he said below is correct? The Baiyue envoy saw Sima Xin's stunned expression and immediately cut to the topic.

Sima Xin did not deny it, but asked: "You said that I came to send me to death?" ”

The Baiyue envoy burst into laughter: "Of course." Dare to ask the general, 50,000 soldiers with low morale entered Changsha County, there were no reinforcements in the rear, and there were 400,000 soldiers of our clan in front, didn't they come to send them to death? He paused for a moment, saw Sima Xinran silently, and said, "There was a rumor two months ago, the general wouldn't have heard it, right?" With that rumor, Lu Hou still sent the general south, which shows that the general is really involuntarily. ”

Of course, he can't help himself, if he can control his own fate, he will be the master of one party, but Sima Xin can't admit it, he shows a posture of involuntarily struggling.

"The three chieftains of Baiyue were sent down to see the general, just to conspire with the general." The Baiyue envoy became more and more confident: "The general was defeated and surrendered, and he thought that he was a person who spared his life, so it was impossible to sit and wait for death knowing that he would die." ”

"......" Sima Xin was silent.

"Now there is something to say to the general, and I hope the general will give more consideration. The general of Zhengnan wants to use my Dayue tribes to kill the general, why doesn't the general take refuge in my Dayue? "The Baiyue envoy didn't have any modifiers at all.

Sima Xin made a reply that made Baiyue stunned: "The matter of taking refuge in the barbarians is not tied, I want to settle in Luo County, if you don't come to attack Xiangxiang, there will be nothing to do, if you come, I will fight back." ”

What's the situation? According to Baiyue's deliberations, the desperate Sima Xin should not be so strong, even if he is unwilling to take refuge in Baiyue, he should establish friendship, but now it seems that he is unwilling to have anything to do with Baiyue even if he must die.

"Barbarians are ruthless and immoral, rape, murder and abuse, they are actually cannibalistic, how dare this general be in the company of such a person!" After Sima Xin finished speaking, he didn't give the Baiyue envoy a chance to speak again, and ordered someone to expel him directly.

The Baiyue envoy who was driven out looked dazed and incredible, the Sima Xin he saw was simply an inexplicable person, a general could not have any integrity, but how could he have such a bad feeling for Baiyue?

"Is it really because of cannibalism?" The Baiyue envoy thought about it, maybe it really was, after all, although the Chinese themselves were accustomed to fighting and slaughtering, there was really no large-scale cannibalism.

The Baiyue envoy who returned to Linxiang recounted the experience of his envoy for a while, and the translator Song, Kaimingsen, and Su Wuzhu were all a little stunned.

"Just because of cannibalism, you don't want to be with us even if you know that you were sent to die?" Kai Mingsen, the chief of the South Vietnamese tribal alliance, grinned with yellow teeth when he spoke, and he used a puzzled tone: "Cattle and sheep have meat, people also have meat, and there is also meat. ”

The Baiyue people who invaded Changsha County, Ouyue and Minyue just captured people as slaves, causing a lot of casualties during the period, but Nanyue was the one who ate people, and looking at Kai Mingsen's expression and words, he really didn't think it was a big deal.

What he thought about was Sima Xin's contradictory character, he imagined that Sima Xin would be worthy of vigilance if he took refuge happily, and it would be unexpected if Sima Xin resisted stubbornly, and he felt that this was normal when he got such a result of wanting to live and not wanting to be together.

"Cannibalism is not good, it is really bad. A living person can work, a living woman can have children, and cannibalism is not good. Su Wuzhu looked at Kai Mingsen with a disgusted face: "I was still sleeping just now, and I went to cook it after sleeping, and there is no humanity." ”

"Huh!?" Kai Mingsen pouted directly, he didn't bother to take care of Wu Zhu, the South Vietnamese people like to eat people and it is not only for the Changsha people, they are at war with other tribes in Baiyue, and they are all boiled and eaten when they catch people, Ouyue and Minyue, who are now in the state of the coalition army, have been eaten by Nanyue in the past, and there are many people who have been eaten by Nanyue in the past, and it seems that Minyue has been eaten more.

"Two, what we're talking about now is not whether we eat or not eat people, but what to do with Sima Xin and those 50,000 people who want to live and don't surrender." Yi Hu Song pondered: "Do you send troops to destroy it, or do you want to watch Sima Xin stay there?" ”

Kai Mingsen said straightforwardly: "There are only 50,000 people, of course, they will be killed directly." ”

Su Wuzhu thought about it and didn't carry it with Kaimingsen: "Since you are unwilling to take refuge, it is always a hidden danger, and I am also in favor of sending troops to destroy it." ”

Yi Yu Song stopped talking, he always felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't say why.

"What are you afraid of, didn't the spies say that Lu Zhe showed no signs of sending troops south again, and the assembled troops either went to Qianzhong or headed east to fight the Chu people? You have always said that you should fortify on the edge of Yunmengze, so that Lu Zhe will have no defense when he calls. Now that Sima Xin occupies Luo County, how can he fortify if he is not destroyed? Kai Mingsen yelled directly at Yi Yu Song.

Su Wuzhu obviously also felt that it was not a matter to let Sima Xin stay like that: "Since Lu Zhe was sent to die, Sima Xin obviously has no baggage, so don't let him really stand firm in the script, and send troops to destroy him soon after he came." ”

"Wait, wait, let's see if Lu Zhe has sent supplies to Sima Xin first." Yi Hu Song always felt that something was wrong inside, he had already thought about it, if Lu Zhe had sent materials to Sima Xin, then he should send troops, and if he didn't send them, of course, he would send troops, but the scale should be mastered.

It may be a bit complicated, but Yi Hu Song thinks that if Lu Zhe has transported materials including follow-up troops, it means that Lu Zhe did not send Sima Xin's troops to death, but as the vanguard to test Baiyue, so that Sima Xin should be solved as quickly as possible, lest Lu Zhe's troops really have a bridgehead in Changsha County that can advance and retreat. If Lu Zhe didn't send supplies, he thought that he could fight slowly, and he didn't need too many troops, after all, there was more than one Luo County in Changsha County that was a hidden danger, and the three clans also needed to operate or destroy or annex them.
