Chapter 135: Lin Ze returns to the camp
The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue.
However, it is the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty that is picturesque, and the south of the Yangtze River in the Great Qin Empire is now an endless mountain and jungle.
Hu Hai led the Heavenly Wolf Army along the straight road that Great Qin had spent huge manpower and financial resources to repair, and marched for more than two months before reaching the border of the empire - Guilin County.
According to the previous agreement between Lin Ze and Hu Hai, the army will be good in the south of the Yangtze River, and the scenery is old and familiar. The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue.
However, it is the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty that is picturesque, and the south of the Yangtze River in the Great Qin Empire is now an endless mountain and jungle.
Hu Hai led the Heavenly Wolf Army along the straight road that Great Qin had spent huge manpower and financial resources to repair, and marched for more than two months before reaching Guilin County on the border of the empire.
According to the previous agreement between Lin Ze and Hu Hai, the army would camp in Guilin County until Lin Ze returned and the two sides would converge before officially entering the land of South Vietnam.
Along the way, Hu Hai and Chen Ping completely followed Lin Ze's instructions before leaving, either trying to do everything possible to train the Sky Wolf Army as a whole, or to find trouble with bandits and robbers from all over the country, and formulate a "bandit suppression plan" from time to time, which could delay the time to arrive at the battlefield while making the Sky Wolf Army more elite as much as possible.
After all, Hu Hai was the prince of Great Qin, and the governors of the provinces and the county guards along the way were still very enthusiastic about hosting banquets and even giving various gifts.
Treating officials from all over the country, with the experience of Fusu, Hu Hai is much more cautious, he should eat, drink, and accept all the treasures sent by others, but when it comes to some specific things, he will pretend to be stupid, and he should not do anything, anyway, he will eat and wipe clean, pat his ass and leave.
Until the army arrived in Guilin, if Hu Haiguang's treasures, treasure soldiers and other things were sold, they would be enough to feed the Heavenly Wolf Army for a few years, of course, most of the good things Hu Hai planned to keep for his own use, and some of them were also used as rewards for the meritorious men of the Heavenly Wolf Army.
When this news spread to the whole army, the entire Heavenly Wolf Army was salivating over the treasure, eager to enter South Vietnam immediately, make immortal achievements, and obtain the treasure.
Just two days after Hu Hai set up camp in Guilin, a soldier came to report: "Tell Gongzi that an army of about 500 people has come from outside the camp, and the person at the head claims to be the envoy of the Marquis of Longchuan, and is ordered to invite Gongzi to join the Southern Baiyue Mansion for a gathering. ”
Hu Hai couldn't help but think for a moment: as early as ten years ago, Daqin defeated the Baiyue Baiyue Clan Alliance in one fell swoop, and chased and killed hundreds of miles, killing the Baiyue clan is full of people, and at the same time, in order to keep and expand the results of the war, the expedition to the South Baiyue Mansion moved south, and now it has penetrated into the hinterland of Nanyue, in order to deter the Baiyue clan in the depths of the jungle.
If he accepted the invitation and followed him into the land of conquering the southern Baiyue, wouldn't he have entered the land of the hundred yue? Hu Hai clearly remembered that Lin Ze had told him that before he came, try not to enter the land of southern Vietnam.
Besides, when entering the land of Baiyue, the Heavenly Wolf Army has to go out to fight, Hu Hai is still a little self-aware of his command, and without Lin Ze by his side, he has no bottom in his heart.
Hu Hai summoned Chen Ping's important generals, and after talking about the matter, he asked: "The military advisor has a word, if he doesn't come, the Heavenly Wolf Army will not enter Baiyue, now that the Marquis of Longchuan is invited, what do you think?"
Zhang Han, Li Xin and other generals, under the clamor of the soldiers, were full of confidence, and they had long wanted to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, so much so that they forgot Lin Ze's terror.
Li Xin was the first to stand up and agitate: "Son, after a long period of training, the soldiers have long been waiting for the day, and their morale is like a rainbow. Lin Zejiu left the barracks, and he didn't know the details of the army, so how could he predict what would happen later? ”
Zhang Han also said: "The Marquis of Longchuan has been in South Vietnam for a long time, and he is deeply rooted, although the prince has a noble status, but after all, he is fighting on his territory, and it is better to accept the invitation." ”
Hu Hai couldn't deny it, looked at the other generals expressionlessly, Yu Ziqi and others also agreed to accept the invitation, and then with the help of the Marquis of Longchuan, they recruited and suppressed the people who disobeyed the king as soon as possible, so as to make contributions and seal his wife and son.
The unanimous request of all the generals made Hu Hai hesitate, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Ping, Lin Ze's designated successor, and asked, "What does Chen Junshi think?"
Chen Ping admired his little uncle very much, and naturally wanted to wait for him to come, so he replied: "Uncle Shi has always planned far-reaching, Uncle Shi has an explanation, and everyone here is not as talented as Uncle Shi, so don't you find an excuse to shirk it." ”
This remark caused the generals to look at each other angrily, what did he say, where are we worse than him Lin Ze? Just as he was about to say more, Chen Ping silently took out the token that Lin Ze handed over to his law enforcement officer.
The generals couldn't help but have some itchy teeth, this Chen Ping didn't learn anything else, but he learned Lin Ze's perverted punishment, Lin Ze just left on the first day, and there were indeed people who were not convinced by him and deliberately provoked trouble.
The end is also obvious, there are many large flagpoles in the battalion, and it is more than enough to hang a few people.
Hu Hai still trusted Lin Ze in his heart, and when he saw Chen Ping say this, he asked, "Then how does the Marquis of Longchuan reply?"
Chen Ping said with a natural expression: "The army is sick, and it is not suitable to move forward. ”
Hu Hai stroked his palms and praised: "Great goodness." ”
When Hu Hai asked the palace guard to tell the envoy sent by Zhao Tuo, the army was not adaptable, and many of the soldiers were sick, and they really couldn't go any further, and they needed to rest for a while before they could go to the southern Baiyue Mansion to pay homage to the Marquis of Longchuan.
The envoy didn't seem to be surprised that Hu Hai would reply like this, but said to the palace guard: "Since my lord let us pick up Hu Hai's son, naturally there is no reason to return empty-handed. ”
"On the other hand, my marquis replied with a handwritten letter, explaining that the situation is indeed inconvenient for the army to move forward, not that the general is not in a good position. ”
After the palace guards conveyed the envoy's intentions, Hu Hai simply wrote a letter according to what Chen Ping said, and asked the envoy to arrange for someone to send it to Zhao Tuo.
In the days that followed, the messenger came to "report" on time once a day to greet the situation of the Celestial Wolf Army, although he always gave the same answer, and he was not annoyed or delved into, and when he got the answer, he returned to his camp and continued to wait.
And this disease, I was sick for more than a month.
In March, when the spring rain continued, Lin Ze and a group of six people had returned from the scorching sun, braving heavy rain and light rain, changing horses countless times along the way, and it took two months to arrive in Guilin County.
Lin Ze did not go directly to the Heavenly Wolf Army camp, but took the four elders of Fang Immortal Dao and Han Xin to the Huajiang near the camp.
The Huajiang River has been accommodated by countless rains, and the water level has reached the highest level of the year, almost overflowing the embankment.
Lin Ze found a fisherman, paid his fishing boat for fifty gold for two days, and then caught the fish on his own.
Han Xin asked inexplicably, "Why didn't the military advisor go back to the Heavenly Wolf Army barracks and stay here?"
Lin Ze responded with a smile: "Don't be anxious, this military division has its own thoughts, if you have nothing to do, you can come fishing together." Han Xin also held his breath and fiddled with the fishing rod by himself.
After dark, Lin Ze pulled the two elders of Qingfeng Mingyue and muttered a few words together. The second elder glanced at each other with a strange expression, then left while it was dark, and returned half an hour later, nodding at Lin Ze.
After Lin Ze got a response, he happily took the fish he caught during the day and made fish soup.
At this time, the water quality of the Huajiang River was better than that of the polluted rivers in later generations, so the fish soup tasted very delicious after adding fishy herbs and a little salt to Linze.
Lin Ze beckoned Han Xin to finish drinking the fish soup together, and ate the fish cleanly before saying, "Let's go, let's go to the Heavenly Wolf Army camp." ”
At this time, the camp of the Sky Wolf Army was already in a mess, and for some reason, suddenly the camp was filled with water, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the water was getting more and more, until it reached the knee.
After many night attacks, the soldiers of the Sky Wolf Army were as stable as old dogs, first quickly put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and then gathered at the scheduled meeting place of their own team, in an orderly manner.
The five hundred lords also reacted quickly, and while gathering their subordinates, they sent people to report to Hu Hai.
Chen Ping rushed to Hu Hai's camp tent as soon as possible, and said to Hu Hai: "The camp is flooded for no reason, please give the order to rescue grain, grass and clothing first, and then let the soldiers assist the people to move the camp hillside, and transfer two of the old camps, two teams to guard the new camp, and the law enforcement team to maintain order." ”
Hu Hai asked: "The camp is flooded for no reason, don't you worry about who did it? Do you want to attack our army?"
I saw Chen Ping smile bitterly: "Who else can there be, it must be Uncle Shi's arrival, the test for us, this happened, I, as an acting military advisor, was seriously derelict in my duties, I'm afraid I won't be able to get better." ”
Hu Hai was pleasantly surprised: "Is it really Lin Ze who came? This guy didn't come to see his son first, but hid in the dark and played tricks." ”
Lin Ze stood on a hillside not far from the barracks, observing the reaction in the camp, seeing the unhurried camp, he showed a smile, and asked Han Xin beside him: "With such an army, do you have the confidence to command?"
