aside.
Zhao Tuo glanced down lightly, then glanced back at Lu Jia, but didn't say anything.
Lu Jia nodded slightly towards Zhao Tuo, with a wanton smile in the corners of his eyes.
What about Young Master Da Qin?
Wasn't he finally being manipulated by himself?
They are still trying to win back people's hearts, but how can it be so easy to win back people's hearts?
There was an uproar in the army right now. A young man like Hu Hai might have been frightened out of his mind. How could he continue to stay in the South China Sea?
Otherwise, you are destined to become a laughing stock in the military!
Zhao Mei stood at the end, with his fists clenched and his eyes filled with excitement.
He did not want to see the soldiers return to Da Qin.
If Nanhai becomes self-reliant, his father Zhao Tuo can at least be crowned king, and he can also inherit the throne in the future. Is this something that Great Qin can give?
Now Hu Hai was frightened.
Loss of face.
I'm afraid I don't even have the heart to ask about Qian Shan again.
As long as these monetary rewards are not distributed in the name of the Qin court, they can become a means to win over the military. His father, Zhao Tuo, is the commander-in-chief of Nanhai and has won the hearts of the soldiers. If they can benefit the soldiers widely, they will surely win over the soldiers of Nanhai. , wait until then to cut off the road between Qin Ting and Nanhai.
South China Sea can achieve independence!
The generals under the cloud chariot all had different expressions.
Some people have worries in their eyes, some are full of contempt and joking, and even some are indifferent.
See this.
Zhao Gao did not dare to hesitate and whispered quickly: "Young Master, there is a lot of noise in the army, and the monetary rewards have been notified and will be distributed in the near future. There is no need for you to stay in the cloud car any longer. Please leave first." In order to avoid being talked about and ruining the reputation of the young master."
Ren Ao also advised: "Sir, the soldiers below are very homesick right now, and some trouble may happen. Please leave for now."
He didn't dare to say it too harshly.
The soldiers below are feeling homesick at the moment, but that may not happen in the future. If someone suddenly feels resentful and points the finger at Hu Hai, it may be difficult to end it. In order to prevent the situation from developing in a more difficult direction, he can only suggest that Hu Hai go first. Leave to avoid unnecessary trouble.
At this time.
Zhao Tuo seemed to have reacted.
He stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Young Master, the morale of the generals below is unstable. Although the general is the commander of the army, there is no guarantee that he can convince the soldiers. An accident may happen. I sincerely ask you to leave for now."
"When the situation calms down, I will order a strict investigation and give you a proper explanation."
"Master, please agree."
Other generals also quickly persuaded him.
The sound of Qin Feng in the camp has become louder and louder.
The entire river valley was filled with roars and shouts, woven into a soul-stirring song of homesickness.
The sound was enough to shake the sky.
Hu Hai's face was pale and his legs were trembling.
He was indeed frightened by the scene.
Although no one scolded him in person, he seemed to hear the roars of thousands of soldiers, asking why they were not allowed to go home after they had done so much for Great Qin. Why didn't the court keep its promise? Why deceive them again and again?
Qin Feng's every sentence is a question at this moment.
Hu Hai, who was knocking, felt restless.
Hu Hai, who was knocking, was shocked.
Hu Hai, who was knocking, was in a state of confusion.
He even lost consciousness at this moment.
My mind went blank.
Under the persuasion of the generals, Hu Hai gradually came back to his senses. He looked at the dark army under the cloud chariot with fearful eyes, and he felt anxious and angry in his heart.
He felt he had lost face.
subconsciously.
Hu Hai wanted to open his mouth and curse.
The words came to my lips, but I didn't dare to say them out.
in the crowd.
Seeing Hu Hai hesitate to speak, Lu Jia and Zhao Mei showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes. They hoped that Hu Hai would be angry. If Hu Hai was angry, he would undoubtedly anger the soldiers.
The situation will undoubtedly be more severe by then.
Qin Ting will also lose military morale even more.
However, Hu Hai remained rational in the end. Although his face was full of sullen eyes, he did not curse in the end, but his body was shaking with anger.
Perhaps Lu Jia and Zhao Mei never thought of it.
Hu Hai was either staying rational or simply being frightened.
He nodded to Zhao Tuo and others, and then stepped forward, wanting to get off the cloud carriage, but as he was walking, he felt something rubbing against his ribs.
In a moment of thought.
Hu Hai calmed down.
He did not continue walking, his face looked a little strange.
He looked at Zhao Tuo and the others, and then at the shouting soldiers below. He stood still on his feet and reached out from his sleeves to take out the third piece of advice.
See this.
The generals near Yun Che were stunned.
Even Zhao Gao was a little confused. He didn't know when Hu Hai put a tip bag in his sleeve.
The generals around him were still urging him.
Hu Hai seemed to have turned a deaf ear and ignored him at all.
He opened the tip bag and read it in front of everyone. The generals who were still trying to persuade him suddenly fell silent. Only the soldiers below were still singing to their heart's content.
Hu Hai glanced briefly at the words on the sheepskin.
My mind was completely calm.
He didn't go out anymore, but went back again.
He stood directly in front of the cloud car again.
Hu Hai was still very nervous, but out of trust in Ji Heng, he chose to continue walking back. Ji Heng once said that he could open the third tip bag if he encountered something fatal in the South China Sea.
In Hu Hai's view.
The situation in front of me is already very critical.
It's quieter near the cloud car.
Zhao Tuo, Lu Jia and others were confused and puzzled by Hu Hai's behavior.
Hu Hai was obviously shocked. Why did he see such a big change after looking at a small piece of parchment? Could it be that there was some clever strategy written on that piece of parchment?
But this is absolutely impossible!
Lu Jia's eyes turned cold, and his heart was full of disdain.
The South China Sea is too far away from Qin Ting.
They didn't know much about what happened to Qin Ting, but Qin Ting also knew very little about what happened to them. No matter how smart Hu Hai was, he couldn't predict what he did.
It is even less possible to think of countermeasures in advance.
even.
If Hu Hai hadn't proposed distributing monetary rewards, he wouldn't have made such a move. He didn't even expect it, so how could Hu Hai have figured it out?
He is just deceiving himself and others, trying to save face.
Think of this.
Lu Jia was convinced.
Not only was he no longer worried, he was even looking forward to it.
He would like to hear what this Da Qin Master can say at this moment.
Zhao Tuo's eyes were cloudy and uncertain.
He looked at Lu Jia from time to time, then looked at Hu Hai from time to time, and finally his eyes fell on his eldest son Zhao Mei, and then he let out a long sigh.
He was fully aware of Lu Jia and Zhao Mei's private moves.
But he didn't stop it.
He even had thoughts in his own mind, but he always had awe and uneasiness towards Qin Ting, so he didn't know many things.
Moreover, after nine years of expedition in the South China Sea, he was actually physically and mentally exhausted.
Especially after seeing too many familiar generals whose heads were missing, severely injured by various diseases and miasma, and finally died, he also had a lot of resentment towards Qin Ting.
So I finally chose to let it go.
If Qin Ting really finds out, Lu Jia will be killed at worst.
If the Qin court hadn't noticed, Zhao Tuo's lineage, not to mention independent independence in the South China Sea, would at least be able to control the South China Sea. By then, the family's shadow would be able to protect at least several generations.
It’s not in vain that he has been operating in Nanhai for so many years.
Zhao Tuo withdrew his gaze.
There was no trace of sparkle in his eyes, as if his whole person had wandered in the clouds.
Hu Hai took a deep breath.
He looked at Zhao Tuo, and finally at Ren Ao, and said: "Ren Ao, go and inform the military commanders and tell them to calm down the soldiers. I, Hu Hai, have something to say."
Ren Ao was startled.
He hesitated for a moment, but also quickly followed the instructions.
Hu Hai stood tall, just standing in front of the cloud car, feeling the heat wave on his face. In the South China Sea in May, the climate was already very hot, but Hu Hai's face remained calm, but if you look closely, you can faintly notice that his palms were trembling slightly. .
There was a solemn silence near the cloud car.
No one spoke.
Everyone looked at Hu Hai in surprise, wondering what Hu Hai was going to do?
Nothing is trivial in the military!
At present, the soldiers below are just singing about their homesickness. If Hu Hai says something inappropriate and arouses the anger and dissatisfaction of the soldiers, the situation will be unpredictable.
Zhao Gao looked at him with gloomy eyes.
He looked at Hu Hai, his brows furrowed, but he kept thinking about that kit.
finally.
He thought of Ji Heng!
Hu Hai went to see Ji Heng before leaving and asked Ji Heng some questions. It was probably Ji Heng who gave this kit to Hu Hai at that time.
But Hu Hai didn't tell him at all.
This made Zhao Gao angry.
And panic.
It seems from various signs that Hu Hai distrusts him more and more. I have tried my best to serve Hu Hai for more than ten years, but in the end I can't match Ji Heng's for more than half a year?
Zhao Gao was furious.
He was very unwilling.
Hu Hai is his last hope.
He would never allow anyone to take away his hope.
No one can! ! !
Half a quarter of an hour later, under the order of the messenger, Qin Feng, who was originally making a loud noise, stopped.
There was silence in the camp.
At this time.
Hu Hai did not speak immediately, but bowed respectfully downward, and then said loudly: "I, Hu Hai, appreciate that all the soldiers are willing to calm down and listen to Hu Hai's words."
"I said it before."
"Great Qin will never forget you, the world will never forget you, and China will never forget you."
"You have done great service to the world."
"From the pacification of the world's wars and the unification of the mountains and rivers that began more than ten or twenty years ago, to the expulsion of the Xiongnu and the annihilation of Baiyue, you have done so much for the Qin Dynasty, and you have no regrets. Under the decree of the imperial court, , you walk out of Hangu Pass without hesitation, step onto a strange land without hesitation, and drive for the Qin Dynasty without hesitation."
"It's just that you have left your hometown and abandoned your family for so many years. Do you really have no regrets?"
"I, Hu Hai, dare not think so."
"You actually have resentment and hatred in your hearts."
"This is all normal."
"Perhaps you are very confused. Why did the Qin Dynasty expel the Xiongnu and send troops to Baiyue after it unified the world? Just because Baiyue was once a vassal of the Chu State, it should be included in the Qin Dynasty?"
"Why can't the war in the world subside for a long time?"
"Why have you done so much for the world, but you still can't live a real life?"
"You may all have doubts."
"I, Hu Hai, have the same, even more than you."
"It's just that I understood later."
“Some battles may seem unnecessary, but they are not.”
"Great Qin used to be regarded as tigers and wolves by the world, but tigers and wolves could still take a nap, but Great Qin's war seemed to never end."
"Is this really the case?"
"The war between the seven kingdoms lasted for two hundred years, but the war between the Qin Dynasty only lasted for ten years."
"And after unifying the world, Great Qin spent another ten years eliminating hidden dangers in the South China Sea and Northern Borders. Is Great Qin really that war-hungry?"
"No!"
"Da Qin has reasons to fight."
"Great Qin has always been good at fighting, but it is not really warlike."
"Great Qin's war has only one purpose."
“Peace!!!”
"It took the Qin Dynasty ten years to end the chaotic wars among the princes, and another ten years to quell the hidden dangers of the Xiongnu and Baiyue, and all of this was for the sake of peace in the world."
"You all probably know the threat the Xiongnu poses to the Qin Dynasty. The Xiongnu army can easily threaten Guanzhong simply by sending troops from Longxi and the north. How dare the Qin Dynasty turn a blind eye? Doesn't that mean the lives of millions of people in Guanzhong are disregarded?"
"Can the court do this?"
Hu Hai's voice suddenly rose a lot.
The sound was as loud as thunder.
“The same is true in the South China Sea.”
"You have stayed in the South China Sea longer than me, and you know the situation in the South China Sea better than I do. You are also deeply aware of the ferocity and cruelty of the Yue people. The Yue people have never had to submit to the imperial court. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Chu State, these Yue people have People have been crossing the border for a long time, attacking and killing my people in Great Qin."
"In the past ten years, there have been tens of thousands of victims."
"Isn't this shocking?"
"If the imperial court does not send troops, can the northern border be peaceful? Can the southern sea be peaceful?"
"Why did the imperial court build the Great Wall? It was to completely isolate the Xiongnu from the Qin Dynasty, so that the people of the Qin Dynasty would no longer have to endure the plunder of the Xiongnu in the future."
"Why did the imperial court send a large army to destroy the South China Sea?"
"The purpose is to completely annihilate the Yue people, to completely drive away or destroy the Yue people who can threaten the peace of southern Xinjiang in the future, in order to allow southern Xinjiang to gain peace for decades, or even longer."
"Your fighting for the next ten years is not just for Great Qin."
"It's more for myself."
"You fight so that future generations don't have to fight in the future, so that they don't have to bleed and sacrifice. You are all soldiers in hundreds of battles. It's so difficult. If it were your descendants, how much do you think they would have sacrificed? And? How many of them can make it back alive?"
"Realistically speaking."
"The court can afford to wait."
"The court can wait, but what about the others?"
"Will the Xiongnu and Baiyue remain unchanged? How many Hu tribes were there in the grassland in the past, and how many are there now? Now they are all unified by Touman. In the past, hundreds of Yue tribes in Baiyue will not be like the Hu tribe in the future? Integrate The Baiyue tribe, after decades of repair, will only pay a greater price if we try to pacify it."
"But now with the continuous conquests of the Qin Dynasty, the Huns have retreated hundreds of miles north. The Yue people can only survive and will be completely destroyed soon."
"And you did it all."
"You have used your ten years to bring peace to the world for decades, or even longer."
"You are the real heroes in the world!"
"I, Hu Hai, thank you on behalf of my father, on behalf of Da Qin, and on behalf of the people of Da Qin who are protected by you."
"Hu Hai thanks all the soldiers!"
Hu Hai bowed respectfully to the soldiers below.
