As military orders were issued one after another, Zhao Shu stayed in the shogunate to handle military affairs. At the same time, he was waiting for news from the doctor.
From the very beginning, the battle hospital and the military doctors were prepared to destroy Zhuyue.
Only when the doctor was well prepared could he dare to send troops to annex Dongou, and then point his sword at Minyue.
At the beginning, he had a discussion with Wang Jian about the war between the great Qin warriors and Zhu Yue.
He also communicated with Qin Wangzheng.
General Wang Jian's plan was to divide his 600,000-strong army into three groups and march southward from Wu in Jiangdong into the Kuaiji Mountains to pacify Dongou.
All the way south from Dongting, into the Minshui Mountains, to pacify Minyue.
On the other hand, he went south from the Xiang River, climbed over the Five Ridges, entered the South China Sea, and pacified Baiyue.
However, this decision was vetoed by Zhao Shu. The Ling Canal was blocked and it was not a good opportunity to attack Baiyue. As the saying goes, the three armies were not moved and food and grass were sent first.
Only with uninterrupted supplies can we attack Baiyue with peace of mind. Even if we suffer a defeat, we can advance and retreat with a solid foundation.
Therefore, under Zhao Shu's intervention, the Lingqu canal has been dug.
Moreover, the army in Chu was only 300,000 strong, which meant that he could not use many elite Qin soldiers.
Not suitable for dividing troops at all!
Defeating them one by one is the best choice!
Zhao Shu was far more aware of the great significance of annexing Zhuyue to Qin and China than the Qin Wangzheng at this time.
In later generations, China completely lost the opportunity to encroach on the Indochina Peninsula, Sumatra Island, and Luzon Island because of the retreat of Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty.
Back then, Zhu Zhanji made a mistake, and he would never make it again.
No matter how much sacrifice or price he pays, he will make the entire Southeast Asia an inherent territory of China.
Even so, Zhao Shu will have a cruel name in the history of China from now on.
At that time, Wu'an Lord Baiqi, he would rather be a Qin Dynasty, and bloodbath six heroes.
Now he, Zhao Shu, is willing to bear the infamy for the sake of Yi Qin.
Even if the crime is in the present time and the merit is in the future, it doesn't matter to him.
…
A hundred thousand troops are performing martial arts in Damo!
Zhao Shu watched in person.
He knew in his heart that it would be difficult for these northwest men to adapt to the climate and environment of Chu District, let alone Dong Ou, which was even worse than Chu District.
This time, not the hereafter.
The south has not yet been developed, and the Three Jins are the core of the Central Plains.
If the Great Qin warriors have not adapted to the climate and environment of Dongou and send troops hastily, that would be irresponsible to the Great Qin warriors.
In history, Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo and others failed in their first southern expedition and lost their troops and generals, which is absolutely not allowed to happen.
In Zhao Shu's view, all this can be avoided.
No matter whether it is a war in any era, measures must be taken according to local conditions.
Since Xiang Yan's death, Zhao Shu has clearly known that the unification of China has been determined, and a decadent Qi State cannot stop the iron hoof of the Qin warriors.
Qin Wangzheng and Li Si want to reorganize China, and whether Great Qin's rule over the Central Plains can last is an urgent matter that the Great Qin court needs to consider.
Now that he is in a high position, Zhao Shu is no longer a simple general, and he can naturally see clearly.
Today's Great Qin is suffering from both internal and external worries.
Since the Qin soldiers left Hangu Pass and started the unification war, the restoration of the Korean aristocracy has taken place in the Central Plains.
It is almost foreseeable that after the world is unified, there will be many such restorations.
This is internal worry!
And the foreign invaders are foreign races!
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
In the era when the Seven Heroes coexisted, no matter how fierce the attacks in the Central Plains were, one was more tough and domineering than the other when it came to dealing with foreign aggression.
Yan State pacified Donghu, Zhao State counterattacked Linhu Xiongnu, Da Qin counterattacked Rongdi Xiongnu, Qi State pacified Dongyi, Chu State pacified Dongyi Nanyi, etc.
Nowadays, all the countries in the world have merged with Qin, and power is concentrated in Da Qin. Naturally, responsibilities will also be concentrated in Da Qin.
The King of Qin must act as the leader of the Central Plains, and Da Qin must shoulder this heavy responsibility in the name of the Central Plains.
Today's Qin Wangzheng is learning how to be the common master of the world, but Zhao Shu does not need it. He only needs to carry the Qin sword to defeat all disobedients.
According to your own thoughts, create the most perfect territory for China.
On this point, Zhao Shu and Qin Wangzhi were consistent, that is, since Da Qin unified China, it should shoulder the responsibility of resisting foreign aggression in the world.
"Sir, how should we prepare the detailed arrangements for the army's martial arts performance?" Li Xin came over and asked Zhao Shu.
After hearing this, Zhao Shu thought for a moment and said to Li Xin: "First, we should adapt to the environment and climate, and then let the Black Ice Platform, the scouts, and the Hidden Palace lead the way."
"The soldiers of the army turned into a team of thousands, familiar with the situation in Dongou, and then formulated appropriate strategies and tactics."
"I don't have detailed requirements for you, but in general, I still have them."
"That is, we must let the great Qin warriors have the same strong combat power in Dongou as they do in the Central Plains!"
"promise."
Li Xin left.
Yinwei is here.
"Sir, the sailors have gathered and are training offshore..."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded: "Well, ask the locals about the offshore situation. You must find out clearly."
"Lest the soldiers enter the sea and feed the fish!"
"promise."
Seeing Yinwei nodding, Zhao Shu changed the topic: "How is the situation in Chu, Dongou, and Minyue?"
"Sir, the land of Chu is still stable. Both Dongou and Minyue are recruiting young people on a large scale!"
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Shu gave instructions to Yinwei, saying: "Send the dead soldiers to Minyue to meet the King of Minyue. I am going to join him to hunt the Five Ridges!"
"promise."
…
"Young Master attaches great importance to Minyue and Dongou?" Ren Xiao looked at Zhao Shu with confusion in his eyes: "I, the great Qin warrior, am the best in the world..."
"I, the great Qin warrior, am indeed the best in the world!" Zhao Shu nodded with a smile and said in a faint tone: "Shu must be cautious when using his troops!"
"It's not that I value Dongou and Minyue, but these people know the local area and Baiyue far better than we do."
"The warriors of the Qin Dynasty are so brave and good at fighting that it is only a matter of time before they can capture Dongou, Minyue, and Baiyue."
"However, how to govern it in a short period of time, within a few years, still needs to rely on these local people."
"That's why I decided to meet the King of Minyue."
Ren Xiao nodded.
But he didn't say much. He half agreed and half didn't agree with Zhao Shu's words because he believed in the great Qin warriors.
"Ren Xiao, being reckless won't accomplish anything big!"
Looking at Ren Xiao, Zhao Shu thought for a moment and reminded, "Soldiers are important matters of the country and the place of life and death. We must pay attention to them!"
"What's more, the elite warriors of Great Qin are almost all from the Old Qin in the northwest, and there are also some from the New Qin in the Central Plains."
"They even adapted to the environment of Chu Di starting from Chen Di!"
