Chapter 664: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
Nine million Bingzhou player infantry, starting from the merger, across half of the Eastern Han Dynasty all the way to Xuzhou, the whole journey was run by two legs, the degree of hard work is naturally needless to say.
As a result, when they finally arrived in Xuzhou, they heard that the battle in Xuzhou was over, and they were going to rush to the next battlefield, Yangzhou, not to mention how hard it felt......
However, they did not complain about this, and even had some excitement and anticipation.
Especially this is especially true of the two poles of Bingzhou and Xu Mei'er, because after learning the results of the battle of Xuzhou, in addition to being amazed that Qin Xiaobai was really terrifying, like everyone else, was more heartbroken.
After all, they didn't get half a cent for annihilating 8 million Vietnamese troops, even if they were to dig and dig embankments next to them to help, just like they were fighting the world......
Although the parties who were jealous and hated by them didn't think so, but Bingzhou Liangji and Xu Meier undoubtedly thought that this was a major mistake for them, and if they didn't hug their thighs this time, they must hug their thighs next time.
So after Qin Xiaobai announced that he would go south to Yangzhou, both the two poles of the state and Xu Mei'er did not hesitate to swoop towards Qin Xiaobai's thigh......
……
After Qin Xiaobai finished dispatching the army of the merger state, he immediately ordered the mobilization of Xuzhou soldiers and horses.
In the past, Qin Xiaobai did not move the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, because he was afraid of wandering and wandering, and he wanted to disturb the Vietnamese army in the Huaxia region and fight to the Central Plains region where the Eastern Han Dynasty was empty.
And now that the Vietnamese army has been wiped out, Yangzhou is only left with the regional rebel Baiyue, so there is no such concern.
Since this is the case, it is naturally necessary to concentrate the superiority of troops as much as possible and quell the Yangzhou rebellion as soon as possible.
So Qin Xiaobai transferred all the five million Xuzhou soldiers who had just been included in his command and went south with him to Yangzhou.
As for Xuzhou, Tao Qian has already given up the position of the princes. Naturally, he couldn't let him stay in Xuzhou, so Qin Xiaobai asked Bai Yuanfang to send a team of brocade guards to escort Tao Qian to the imperial capital Luoyang.
As for the government affairs of Xuzhou, Qin Xiaobai does not have a suitable political minister in his hands now, and the most cost-saving way is undoubtedly to let him maintain the original political system.
So Qin Xiaobai asked Chen Deng's father and son, who were Xuzhou Thorn Shi and Xuzhou Commander, to govern Xuzhou as the acting state pastor.
Chen Deng's father and son were naturally overjoyed by this, and immediately told Qin Xiaobai that they would do their best to govern Xuzhou for Qin Xiaobai.
After having no worries about the affairs of Xuzhou, Qin Xiaobai pointed to Jiangdong and sent troops to the south.
……
The people of Baiyue are fierce and refuse to accept education. Since the Western Han Dynasty, there have often been rebellions in the south.
After the Yue army took advantage of the weakness to cause turmoil in the south of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Baiyue was even more concentrated on a large scale, and the Baiyue in Yangzhou alone directly gathered an army of five million.
At the glance of Chad, Baiyue's troops were only one-third of Qin Xiaobai's soldiers and horses, but the actual combat strength of the soldiers was not inferior to the army of the Central Southern Expedition.
In this battle of Xuzhou, although Qin Xiaobai fought against the Vietnamese army in two battles. It was a unilateral massacre attack, and there was not much loss of troops, but before Qin Xiaobai came, Xuzhou was brutally ravaged by eight million Vietnamese troops, and many troops were lost.
Therefore, Qin Xiaobai actually has a total number of troops. There are not 1,500, only more than 13 million, and most of them are combat players with low average combat power.
It seems that there are only more than 3 million soldiers and horses in Xuzhou. However, these soldiers and horses also seem to be vulnerable to the Vietnamese army, so it doesn't sound like anything to fear.
However, it is clear that the actual combat strength is not weak in the Southern Expeditionary Army. Baiyue, who was even stronger, was almost frightened when he heard that the Southern Expeditionary Army was pointing at Jiangdong.
It's just because the commander of its leadership is Qin Xiaobai.
Just kidding, Xuzhou was able to slaughter eight million Vietnamese troops with one million soldiers in the first battle, and now they are leading more than ten times the army to the south, so can they still have a way to live.
So King Baiyue quickly made a decision, and it was the wisest decision he thought he had ever made in his life, and submitted a letter of surrender to Qin Xiaobai......
This surprised the Southern Expeditionary Army, although they had a sense of honor for frightening the enemy and surrendering without a fight.
But it's still quite unpleasant, especially the infantry of the Bingzhou players, after all, they have run so many miles tiredly, and it is not easy to run from the northernmost part of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the southernmost part of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
also asked them not to accumulate military merits, not to accumulate military merits, how to serve as the commander of the ten, serve as a military commander, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and marry Wang Cuihua at the head of the village......
In this regard, Qin Xiaobai was undoubtedly overjoyed, no need to fight or consume, it was undoubtedly the best thing to pacify Yangzhou as quickly as possible.
However, Qin Xiaobai did not intend to stop there, since he had already led the army to the southern expedition, then Vietnam, which invaded China and caused turmoil in the southern part of the Eastern Han Dynasty, must naturally be removed, otherwise how could the hearts of the people of China be reassured, and how could it really deter the countries around China.
At the same time, Qin Xiaobai can also take this opportunity to declare that the Huaxia Region is purely a self-defense counterattack, and then use this banner to rightfully annex Vietnam.
Therefore, General Qin Xiaobai led the army to continue the southern expedition, but this time the target was changed to Vietnam.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Huaxia region, especially the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, were excited, this time not only fought against foreign enemies, all kinds of honor to protect the family and defend the country surged, but also finally able to accumulate military merits, Wang Cuihua has hope......
……
And in addition to deciding to attack Vietnam, Qin Xiaobai was not prepared to let Baiyue surrender unconditionally so easily on Yangzhou's side.
After all, if these Baiyue say that they will rebel and surrender, and they will not be punished at all, then they will not be able to repeat it again at any time in the future.
And in this way, it will also set a bad precedent for other foreign races, so that the Eastern Han Dynasty will have endless troubles in controlling foreign countries in the future.
Of course, it's best not to give them this kind of punishment directly, after all, it's the same as not punishing them, and then forcing them to rebel if they are heavy, or holding a grudge against the Eastern Han Dynasty again, it's not beautiful.
So, Qin Xiaobai came up with a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and told Yangzhou Baiyue that if he wanted to be forgiven by the Eastern Han court, he would go to atone for his sins and attack Vietnam for the Eastern Han Dynasty
On one side is a god-like opponent like Qin Xiaobai, and on the other side is Vietnam who was beaten into a pig's head by the gods.
So the king of Baiyue immediately agreed to Qin Xiaobai's conditions, and was willing to be the vanguard of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and personally led the troops to Vietnam with five million people. (To be continued.) )
