Daqin: Selling elves at the beginning, Zulong begged me to supervise the country

"Zhao Tuo." Wang Ben said calmly.

"Zhao Tuo?" He had heard a little bit about this person, but no matter who it was, it would be difficult to suppress so many generals.

They are more or less dissatisfied with people who land in the air.

The main reason is that he does not believe that this person has the ability to command an army of 50 people.

At this time, it is best for someone with great military achievements like Wang Ben to be convincing.

"Don't underestimate this person. His intelligence is outstanding."

"Now that Baiyue can't attack for a long time, it's time to change the way of playing."

Wang Ben also saw that Gao Da was dissatisfied, but besides him, Zhao Tuo was the most suitable person here.

Zhao Tuo is not as simple as he appears.

Although I like to act stupid in front of him, how can someone who can be sent to Lingnan by His Majesty himself be really stupid?

There were so many officials with the ability to mine Pokémon, and there were also a few generals among them, so why did he, Zhao Tuo, follow them.

His Majesty asked him to bring the people here, probably just for today.

With him coming forward, Zhao Tuo would not be too difficult in the army.

At the cleansing banquet when father and son returned to Xianyang to hand over military power, he saw that His Majesty's intentions were originally Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo.

Tu Sui was the leader and Zhao Tuo was the deputy.

These two people have different styles of doing things. If they cooperate properly, they may make good progress.

Unfortunately, at the banquet, Zhao Tuo completely offended Tu Sui, so he did not go south to Lingnan.

When the wine was full of wine, Tu Sui asked all the officials enthusiastically.

"With the power of our Qin army, when can we pacify the land of Baiyue?"

At that time, Zhao Tuo also drank a lot and expressed his views boldly.

"Although the land of Baiyue is barbaric and uncivilized, there are still people who are good at conquering and fighting, and are resourceful and wise. I'm afraid it won't be conquered that easily."

"I hope that the state captain can treat it with caution and never be careless and underestimate the enemy."

When Tu Sui heard this, he was furious and publicly scolded Zhao Tuo for being timid and unable to plan for big things.

The First Emperor gave up when he saw that their personalities were really difficult to reconcile and that they might not be able to cooperate.

If he hadn't been at the scene, he might have thought that Zhao Tuo was like this.

It seems that he cherishes this opportunity very much.

Outside the military camp, a canal was built.

In an inconspicuous little tent, Zhao Tuo was sitting in front of the case.

Not far outside the tent, Pokémon were still busy.

But it's not the group from Wang Ben's side.

The project is still being carried out in stages.

Wang Ben couldn't rest and came out every day to supervise the work. There was no reason for him, Zhao Tuo, to rest alone in the military camp.

Then he also set up a small tent and sat there, calling him "supervisor".

"General." A soldier slowly approached Zhao Tuo while others were not paying attention, and shouted in a low voice.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Tuo raised his eyes and asked lightly.

His eyes still fell on the military book in his hand.

"The toucan and bibills that went to transport food and grass are back."

"Ah."

After all, the toucans and bibills are not ordinary animals, and this is not their first time transporting food, but this is expected.

It's not worth bothering him with this matter.

"We also brought back a dozen people."

Seeing that Zhao Tuo was not attracted by his words, the soldier continued.

"Who is it? Tu Sui?" Zhao Tuo put down the military book in his hand and asked with interest.

Apart from Tu Sui, he could not think of anyone else who dared to leave the military camp without authorization.

Based on his knowledge of Tu Sui, life for the generals in the army would probably not be easy either.

It's definitely not so casual.

"The general guessed half of it right." The soldier looked mysterious and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Are you sick? If you have something to say, don't hide it." Zhao Tuo looked a little impatient. It seemed that he usually indulged him too much.

"Tu Sui is indeed here, but it's just a corpse." Seeing Zhao Tuo's unhappy expression, the soldier stopped pretending.

He is Zhao Tuo's personal soldier, and he has followed Zhao Tuo since he was more than ten years old.

He can be regarded as Zhao Tuo's confidant.

This time when he went south to Lingnan, Zhao Tuo knew that it was a good opportunity, so he packed in a few soldiers.

Make it easier for yourself to do things.

"Tu Sui is dead?"

"Good death!"

Zhao Tuo stood up excitedly. Tu Sui's death was not surprising to him at all, it was just a matter of time.

The Qin army has been stationed in the Baiyue area for a long time, and its body is not adapted to the climate here. Coupled with injuries and diseases, it will be difficult for them to move forward.

In addition, the slaughter of local residents indiscriminately will definitely arouse the resistance of the Baiyue people.

As the saying goes: Don't be afraid of the violent, but be afraid of the deadly.

But he didn't expect such a coincidence that it happened to be the time for him to go south.

"The general is not going back? The general who sent Tu Sui out is still in Wang Ben's tent. He must be discussing who will lead the troops."

Zhao Tuo's personal soldiers saw that Zhao Tuo had not made any move and warned him.

This is a rare good opportunity.

If the position of general falls into the hands of Zhao Tuo, they will be able to survive.

Zhao Tuo hesitated for a moment and sat down again.

"Don't worry, what's mine is mine."

"But 50 of the 40-strong army in the Southern Expedition originally followed Wang Ben and his son. If Wang Ben had this intention..."

If Wang Ben didn't take Zhao Tuo seriously, the only one who could lead the army here would be Wang Ben himself.

At that time, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Wang Ben may take office personally.

"He will not."

Since the Wang family father and son could resolutely hand over military power when the voice was loudest, they would not get involved again at this time, otherwise everything before would be in vain.

Moreover, His Majesty ordered him to follow. Wang Ben would not understand what this meant.

His Majesty's every move must have a profound meaning, and I'm afraid Wang Ben, like him, spent countless late nights pondering over it.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the tent.

Zhao Tuo curled his lips and smiled.

"People are here, you go out first."

"Yes."

The soldiers also looked happy, and their general was indeed very knowledgeable.

He suppressed his smile and passed by the soldiers who had just dismounted and hurriedly ran towards him.

Zhao Tuo followed the soldiers back to the military camp and met Gao Da on the recommendation of Wang Ben.

Gao Gao looked at the visitor carefully. Although he was unhappy, he didn't show it.

Not to mention that this person had a higher official position than him and was appreciated by His Majesty.

According to Wang Ben's wishes, he will most likely be under the control of Zhao Tuo from now on.

I hope he is not the second Tu Sui. He has had enough of the days of hypocrisy and subterfuge.

Afraid that Wang Yi would be worried, Gao Da didn't stay long before taking Zhao Tuo back to the military camp.

Wang Ben looked at the people riding the big-billed bird and went away, feeling moved in his heart.

Should he go back to Xianyang on a Bibi bird?

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

We can't live without him for the time being.

If he went back by himself and left the Pokémon here, the owners of those Pokémon would stare him to death with their eyes.

Although he wasn't afraid, thinking about it made him bored, so he let it go.

He returned to his tent, drafted a secret letter, and handed it to his guards together with Wang Yi's bamboo slips.

Let him take Tu Sui's body back to Xianyang.

"According to the distance, Your Majesty will be able to see Lord Guowei before sunset."

Originally, I wanted Bibiniao to bring some Lingnan specialties to His Majesty and your lords.

But when I thought about it, it seemed inappropriate, so I gave it up.

Let’s not talk about whether His Majesty is in the mood to eat and take the body back with him, I’m afraid...

He won't get into trouble anymore.
