When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 451 Attacking Han and encircling Xinzheng

Tu Sui did not occupy much space in the history books of later generations.

People's most common impression of him is that he was the unlucky general who overturned his car and was shot to death by the Baiyue people in Lingnan with poisonous arrows when he went south to conquer Lingnan.

Among the army that went south to conquer Lingnan, his presence seemed worse than that of Ren Xiao, who succeeded him in completing the task of conquering Lingnan after his death, and Zhao Tuo, who controlled South Vietnam for 81 years after Ren Xiao.

But after the world was unified, the person who was defeated by the political commissar Ying with an army of 50 was just an incompetent general who only killed innocent people indiscriminately after winning consecutive battles in Lingnan?

We must know that when Wang Jian destroyed Chu, he only led 60 soldiers, and if Tu Sui was an incompetent general, how could he be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by Ying Zheng?

At least in the early stage, the 50 Southern Expedition Army has always maintained a state of continuous victories, but after penetrating into the hinterland of Lingnan, they were trapped by the guerrilla warfare of the Baiyue people and the difficulties in logistics and transportation. In the Sanluo region by the river, Tu Sui himself was accidentally shot by a poisonous arrow from the Baiyue people and died of the poison.

Now in the Yulin army controlled by Zhang Ji, there are generals Li Xin, Qiang Li, Su Jiao, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, Wang Ben, Feng Wuze, Yang Wengzi and others, it can be said that there are many generals.

And among them, Li Xin, Qiang Yu, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and Wang Ben are all handsome men with the ability to lead an army on their own, so Zhang Ji wants to cultivate these people and give them more opportunities to increase their military exploits. Add more resume.

Don't look at the fact that Da Qin has no shortage of generals, but that is for Qin, which is purely conquering the six countries.

Neither Ying Zheng nor Zhang Ji, in this world of the Qin Dynasty that had some knowledge of the world outside the Central Plains, did not intend to limit the territory of the Qin State to just this area.

The prairie barbarians in the north, the Baiyue barbarians in the south, the Western Regions, and those countries further west than the Western Regions...

In this way, Qin is not without shortage of generals.

And these things between Zhang Ji and Tu Sui were just a small episode before the army set off.

The huge war machine of Qin State began to operate with an edict from Ying Zheng. However, dealing with a South Korea would not allow Qin State to reproduce the full or even overload operation it had when facing the allied forces. Half of the Yulin army was mobilized.

These included Li Xin and his [-] Yulin cavalry, Sujiao's [-] scout battalion, [-] crossbowmen, [-] infantry, and [-] chariots under Shejian's command. about.

In addition to the [-] Yulin Army, a professional army separated from production, Ying Zheng summoned [-] soldiers from Beidi County, Longxi County, Sanchuan County, and Hedong County, as well as [-] soldiers from the Death Soldier Battalion, totaling [-] troops. , there are also civilian husbands, prisoners, etc. responsible for the transportation of food, grass and weapons for the army.

The Qin army was divided into two groups, one led by Zhang Jiji Yulin Army, Shishiying, Longxi County, and Beidi County with a total of [-] soldiers and horses, marching from Nanyang to Xinzheng, the capital of Han.

The other leader is Tu Sui.

Tu Sui was originally a 24-year-old Qianchang. He made military exploits during the Battle of Hezong, and his title was promoted from the eighth rank of the public servant to the ninth rank of the five nobles. Qualified as the chief general of the partial army.

Of course, according to common sense, although Tu Sui is qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of a partial army, such a partial army is usually no more than 2 people at most, and the army that Zhang Ji handed over to Tu Sui has 4 soldiers from Hedong County and Sanchuan County. Thousands of people!
The political signal sent by Zhang Ji's actions is self-evident. He really wanted to cultivate Tu Sui and give Tu Sui an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

And this is why Zhang Ji dared to give Tu Sui such trust. How could an ordinary general dare to hand over 4 troops to Tu Sui, who was only 26 years old?
Tu Sui was also a courageous old Qin man. If another person had been appointed like this, he might have thought that Zhang Ji deliberately wanted to embarrass this partial army general, but Tu Sui understood that his general understood the talents and abilities of these people. If he is ambitious in his heart, otherwise he would not have been selected among the millions of Qin troops to enter the Yulin Army as the captain.

The task Zhang Ji assigned to Tu Sui was not difficult either. He went south from Yangcheng to conquer Yangdi, and then joined forces with Zhang Ji under the Xinzheng city to besiege Xinzheng.

The resistance that the generals originally guessed did not exist. Zhang Ji's army was welcomed by these former Koreans in Nanyang, and there was even a scene of eating pots of pulp, which originally only appeared in the old Qin. The scene of joyful soldiers and civilians.

But it’s no wonder that Nanyang, originally the most fertile land in South Korea, was first oppressed by South Korea’s high taxes, then further exploited by night, and then encountered a food shortage. Nanyang once had bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles away. There is no scene of roosters crowing, the people exchange their children and eat just to survive for a while.

Until Nanyang became a city of Qin, and the Koreans in Nanyang became Qin people, everything got better.

Qin’s tax rate was also very high, but after the night was eradicated, the exploitation suffered by the people in Nanyang was reduced by half, and Qin’s harsh punishment laws also hit many unscrupulous people who maliciously raised prices while taking advantage of Nanyang’s grain shortage. They distributed part of the confiscated land to the people of Nanyang, and the public security in Nanyang gradually improved.

The people of this era do not have much thought. All they seek is to live.

Living safely and eating enough food and clothing, they can settle down.

Once people have settled down, they will give up the idea of ​​fleeing their hometowns to make a living as refugees and return to productive activities.The land that had not been cultivated for a long time had accumulated a lot of fertility, so that the people of Nanyang also harvested a lot of barley.

Thanks to a series of policies implemented by the Qin State in Nanyang to help Nanyang resume production, neither Zhang Ji's main force nor Tu Sui's partial division encountered much resistance during their march.

There are still many Koreans in South Korea who are still full of passion under the influence of the rule of law, but more of them have been transformed into scheming middle-aged people by the rule of law. The hungry Koreans.

Wei Zhuang, who served as the general of South Korea, also noticed this. He abandoned many small cities and concentrated his troops in large cities in order to delay the time, consume the food and grass of the Qin army, and wait for reinforcements from other countries.

Yangdi, the old capital of South Korea, is the most heavily defended city with the largest number of defenders by the Korean army except Xinzheng City.

However, the Korean army's will to fight was too weak. If it were not for the worry that Qin would massacre the city after breaking it, it would have lost its will to fight long ago.Therefore, Tu Sui's partial troops besieged Yangzhai, and successfully breached the city in only 21 days of siege. Huanjue, the pretended defender of Hedong, personally went up with a shield and sword, and climbed to the top of the city first!
Less than a month and a half after the Qin army dispatched troops, they successfully joined forces under the city of Xinzheng. Except for the defenders staying in various cities, there were a total of [-] Qin troops under the city of Xinzheng, who were eyeing the capital of South Korea with a bloody sharp edge. tusks.
