Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 3
Chapter 3
"Your Majesty, my nephew is just talking nonsense." As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Zhao Gang next to him bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, all those ministers who agree with the expedition to Baiyue should be executed."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, stood up and cursed: "Nonsense! Your Majesty, this person is disorderly discussing the state affairs. Please convict him of disrupting the country."

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao's expression changed drastically.

Even if there were objections among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it was impossible to say such offending words in public.

Zhao Gang calmly looked at Ying Zheng in front of him.

He believed that Ying Zheng would be willing to listen.

Although Ying Zheng was a little annoyed, he was not angry, but rather surprised.

Wang Ben is an important minister of the country and a tiger general of the world.

The murderous aura released just now did not change Zhao Gang in the slightest.

So gutsy.

Either there is something wrong with the brain.

Or they are really talented.

Since the unification, fewer and fewer people dared to contradict him. Even Li Si and Wang Jian were a little cautious when dealing with him.

But now Zhao Gang's words show that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he is very angry with him.

"Tell me your reasons. If you can make sense, I will forgive your sin. If it is really nonsense, even if Xiao Gaozi intercedes, I will not forgive you lightly."

Zhao Gang smiled lightly and said: "May I ask Your Majesty, are all those who agree with the southern expedition a general like Tongwuhou?"

Ying Zheng nodded as he recalled.

"The generals are willing to die. This is the blessing of our great Qin. But it would be a big mistake to rely solely on blood and strength to conquer the country."

"Oh?"

"In my opinion, national conquests should put profits first. From the perspective of merchants, the conquest of Baiyue is obviously a loss-making business. The investment is huge and the returns are very small. How can we do it?"

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.

It was the first time he heard such remarks.

Although it sounds absurd, it seems reasonable when you think about it carefully.

"What nonsense."

Wang Ben had always been at odds with Zhao Gao, but now that Zhao Gang is yelling at him in public, this dissatisfaction is passed on to him.

Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal Wang Ben to back down.

"Since you think that conquering Baiyue is a loss-making business, then what is a profitable business?"

"Fight the Huns!"

Wang Ben laughed immediately when he heard this.

If war is a game, Shanyue is just a mob, and the Huns must be the final boss.

Since the Emperor of Zhou moved eastward, the battle between the Central Plains and the Huns continued for hundreds of years.

Although countries are not afraid of the Huns, the Huns appear and harass the borders, causing headaches.

Because of this, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yan and Qin built the Great Wall to block it.

The cost involved is really incalculable.

Nowadays, some people actually say that they can get benefits from these guys who drink blood from raw materials.

Horse manure, or yellow sand.

Zhao Gao's heart felt cold at this moment.

Ying Zheng is a guy who keeps what he says, even if he is himself, there is absolutely no possibility of letting him take back his life.

I'm afraid my old Zhao family.

It's really going to end.

"You mean war horse?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Luo Gang's face.

As expected of an emperor through the ages, he really sees things more profoundly than others.

"That's right, it's war horses. Although the Huns are poor, they have the war horses that Qin needs most. We can get a lot of war horses by attacking the Xiongnu. On the one hand, we can expand Qin's cavalry and sell the war horses for money. It can be said to be a huge profit."

Wang Ben couldn't stand it anymore, he cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Huns have many war horses, but they are not prey waiting for us to slaughter."

"Does Marquis Tongwu think that the Baiyue people are a living target and let us slaughter them?" Zhao Gang looked at Wang Ben with a disappointed look.

"Compared with the Huns, the Baiyue people are really easy to deal with."

"Marquis Tongwu thinks that the Baiyue people are easy to deal with, so I don't know if you dare to compete with me? You and I will play each other to see who is right and who is wrong."

Hearing this, Wang Ben looked Zhao Gang up and down. In his opinion, Zhao Gang was not qualified to be his opponent at all.

Fighting against someone who has never experienced a battle is simply bullying him.

"Your Majesty, even if I win, I won't win by force."

Zhao Gang mocked: "Is Tongwuhou afraid of losing?"

"Boy, you are playing with fire." Wang Ben looked at Zhao Gang with a cruel smile on his face.

Wang's father and son fought for the Great Qin, and most of the six kingdoms in Shandong were destroyed by their father and son.If it is said that the world is best at battle, apart from Wang Ben, perhaps only his father Wang Jian can win.

Zhao Gang pointed directly at the dishes on the table and said, "Let's take the dishes on the table as the mountain trend, Tong Wuhou as Daqin, and I as the Baiyue tribe."

Wang Ben became interested when he saw that Zhao Gang did not back down.

"We have 50 troops in the land and water armies of the Great Qin Dynasty, starting from Yunmengze Chen County in the east, and reaching Sichuan and Shunan County in the west, advancing both by land and water."

"The Baiyue tribe assembled [-] troops, let the road go into the mountains and forests to disperse and hide."

Wang Ben pondered for a moment and said: "The army dispersed and outflanked, surrounded the Baiyue Army, divided and annihilated."

As a time traveler, Zhao Gang naturally knew the characteristics of the Qin army's attack.

The large corps is suitable for fighting against the six countries, but it can only be controlled by others when dealing with Baiyue.

As everyone knows, the plaster country was defeated by the continuous harassment and guerrilla warfare with its superior force.

He continued: "The Baiyue Army continued to retreat towards the south. It divided its [-] troops into two wings of the Qin Army and threw them into the mountains and forests. They did not engage in direct confrontation with the Qin Army and only attacked the Qin Army's food routes."

Wang Ben sneered and said: "Our army has enough food and grass for conquest. Even if the food road is cut off, there will be no shortage of food in the short term."

Zhao Gang shook his head: "What I cut off is not food and grass, but medicinal materials. Miasma and mosquitoes are widespread in the south of Yunmeng Lake. Daqin soldiers went deep into it. There is no medicinal material, so they can only lose their lives in vain. After such a toss, the least loss is nearly [-] yuan. half the army."

Wang Benai, a master military strategist, naturally knew what Zhao Gang said was true, but he did not believe that the miasma and mosquitoes could cause such a huge loss to hundreds of thousands of troops.

"how is this possible!"

"In the southern jungle, mosquitoes are as big as eggs, and the miasma is pervasive. The Baiyue people live there all year round and are naturally safe, but the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty are hard to resist."

"The officers and soldiers of the Qin army are advancing alone, with miasma poisonous insects in front, no reinforcements behind, and elusive Baiyue soldiers all around. In such a situation, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse. Even if there are 50 troops, the entire army will be annihilated. Marquis Tongwu, you Do you want to admit defeat?"
