"Suck~~"
Zhao Hao sniffed, wiped his tears and knelt aside, muttering aggrievedly: "Eat me, drink my food, and beat me, it's not reasonable at all."
"Um?"
As soon as Ying Zheng took out a piece of mutton from the cauldron, he heard Zhao Hao's muttering. He couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, turned around and said coldly: "Is your skin itchy again?"
"...."
Forget it, a powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake. As a time traveler, I don’t have the same experience as you natives... Zhao Hao groaned and closed his mouth, saying no more.
Wei Liao saw it and felt a little funny in his heart.
This kid is extremely brave, but if you are tough with him, you will be cowarded faster than anyone else.
To put it bluntly, I am afraid of death.
I really don’t know how Ying Zheng could give birth to such a son who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The character of the old Qin people is gone.
However, this is fine.
Knowing this kid's weaknesses, it would be easier to teach him in the future.
A strict master produces a good disciple!
Thinking back then, I seemed to have been beaten less often by teachers.
Well, it’s time to tit for tat.
Just when Wei Liao was thinking about the "joyful" scene of educating Zhao Hao, Ying Zheng suddenly said in a deep voice: "Old general, please continue to use troops against the Baiyue tribes in Lingnan to pacify the south in one fell swoop. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Wei Liao came back from his thoughts and asked expressionlessly: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"The Baiyue region is rich in products, especially gold beads and jade, which can satisfy the problem of insufficient rewards from the court after the destruction of the six kingdoms. Also, if our Qin State wants to stabilize the situation in the south, it must quell this trouble!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but blinked, thinking that the First Emperor was so powerful.
It turned out that he had known about Qin's internal conflicts for a long time.
Yes, Qin unified the six countries, but according to Qin's military merit system, the land and resources obtained by Qin from the six countries were simply not enough for Qin's nobles to distribute.
In other words, their efforts are not proportional to their gains.
Then, problems will arise.
The upper-class nobles were able to be convinced by the coercion of the First Emperor, but the lower-class nobles were not so convinced.
It was agreed that by killing the enemy, one could get a title and distribute the land. Why did you not give it to me after you completed the task?
Or cut off most of it!
How does this work? My whole family is still waiting to be fed!
Because of the dissatisfaction at the lower levels, disagreements also appeared at the upper levels. Qin's internal conflicts became more and more acute, so Qin had to transfer the conflicts.
So there was the Battle of Baiyue.
In fact, if we look at history, we can find that the timing of Qin's conquest of Baiyue was very unreasonable.
At that time, the Qin State had just overthrown the Six Kingdoms. Logically speaking, it needed some time to recuperate.
The First Emperor was so talented and strategic that it was impossible not to think of this.
But in the second year after the Qin State destroyed the six kingdoms, it began to conquer Baiyue in the south.
Many historians believe that Qin's conquest of Baiyue depleted Qin's vitality and indirectly led to Qin's demise.
Zhao Hao still agrees with this point.
But the First Emperor didn't seem to realize the seriousness of Qin's conquest of Baiyue.
He only thinks about resolving internal conflicts, expanding the results of the war, and establishing unparalleled achievements, but he ignores the fact that taking too big a step can easily lead to trouble.
But I heard Ying Zheng continue: "According to the veteran general's strategy, it will involve many aspects, and it needs to be planned as a whole. Moreover, it will be safer to discuss with the veteran general in person!"
Wei Liao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your Majesty, do you mean to go to the Baiyue Land in person?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said thoughtfully: "I originally planned to patrol the world after the imperial meeting in February, but now it seems that I am afraid it will be brought forward!"
As he said that, he turned and glanced at a black-armored guard standing not far away. The latter immediately understood, took out a roll of sheepskin maps from his arms, and placed it respectfully on the desk.
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to unfold the map, pointed at it and introduced to Wei Liao: "This is the old general's march route, which is mainly divided into three routes!"
"All the way down from the southeast of Wu, entering Kuaiji, and pacifying the tribes of Ouyue."
"All the way south from Dongting County, we marched into the Minshui area and pacified the Minyue tribes."
"All the way from the Xiang River to the south, over the mountains and ridges, into the South China Sea, and pacified hundreds of tribes in Guangdong."
"Crossing mountains and ridges?" Wei Liao frowned: "There are also mountains in the South China Sea?"
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, pointed to the waist of the map and said: "This large mountain range starts from the south of the Xiang River and goes west to east. They are Taishan Mountain, Qitian Mountain, Dupang Mountain, and Mengzhu Mountain, Yueshan Mountain. "
"So, doesn't it mean that as long as we hold on to these five mountains, we can cut off the north and south lands?" Wei Liao frowned.
"Not bad!" Ying Zheng nodded.
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"The old general insists on leading his troops over the mountains in person, and I don't feel reassured."
"Wang Jian is indeed not fit to go on another expedition. How can he withstand the hardship of traveling over mountains and ridges now that he is old?" Wei Liao frowned.
"Hey, this is what I'm worried about..."
Ying Zheng sighed, and then continued: "The old general's memorial said that Ren Xiao will be the commander-in-chief of the first route army, Tu Sui will be the commander-in-chief of the second route army, and Zhao Tuo will be the commander-in-chief of the third route army. He will accompany the third route army. Go to war!"
"I'm not very familiar with these three people. Are they generals who were promoted when Chu was destroyed?"
"Yes, although these three people are all Laoyue people, they have been in Qin for two generations and made a lot of contributions in the battle to destroy Chu!"
He said, paused, and then smiled: "Moreover, these three people know the customs and habits of the Yue people very well. Using them as the main generals will get twice the result with half the effort!"
Holy shit!
Isn't this a trio of people who fail to succeed but fail more than they should?
My old Qin people's army of hundreds of thousands was killed by these three scammers!
Not to mention that Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao conquered Baiyue, they all paid for it with the lives of the old Qin people!
Grandma is such a bear, Wang Jian actually recommended these three birdmen as the main generals? !
You are so confused!
Zhao Hao's face was as cold as frost, and he was filled with anger.
As if he noticed something, Wei Liao asked calmly: "Our Great Qin has never lacked generals. Wang Bi, Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng, and Li Xin are all capable of commanding;
Moreover, Wang Ben also defeated the Chu army, destroyed the three kingdoms of Wei, Yan, and Qi, and made great military exploits. Why didn't Wang Jian use it? "
"The old general said that although the four of them are brave and brave, they are not as good as the three of them!"
Ying Zheng explained: "That means being steady and capable of doing government affairs!"
What nonsense! ?
They haven't even been defeated yet. Do you need Mao's political capabilities?
Wouldn't it be better to fight it down first and then arrange for the right people to handle the government affairs?
Besides, even if they are steady and capable in government affairs, they might as well be deputy generals! Why do you have to be the leader? !
Zhao Hao was very puzzled and turned his attention to Wei Liao.
Wei Liao shook his head dumbfounded and thought to himself that this boy had just been beaten and had forgotten the pain. Could it be that he still wanted to get involved in Baiyue's affairs?
"What?" Ying Zheng didn't notice anything unusual about Zhao Hao. When Wei Liao shook his head, he frowned and asked, "But is there something wrong?"
Wei Liao chuckled and waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Wang Jian's judgment is correct. Most of the battles going south to Baiyue were divided into separate armies and fought alone. Although the battles were not as huge as the battle to destroy the Six Kingdoms, they were continuous and required a lot of effort. An attack on the city!"
"Besides, the various tribes of Baiyue have many races, which is no better than the land of China, which has only a few races."
"In this case, we have to take into account the conflicting interests of each tribe's city!"
"Good!" Ying Zheng slapped the case and shouted.
Zhao Hao was speechless and didn't know what to say.
