Chaotic Qin

Baiyue is located in the southeast, with a humid and hot climate.

The local area is very backward, and still retains many customs of the primitive society. There is no marriage ceremony law, and they like to cut off hair tattoos, which is very different from the Central Plains people.

Generally speaking, the more backward the nation, the stronger the fighting power of the people.

Baiyue is no exception!

The Qin army had bronze armor, strong crossbows, long spears, and tens of thousands of horses, but these powerful equipment that made the Qin army invincible on the plains were completely useless in the dense jungle.

After all, Baiyue is a place where various ethnic groups live together, and the people do not pursue fame and fortune, so it is difficult to buy them off with money.

To make matters worse, Baiyue people are extremely xenophobic, and the Qin army is not familiar with the terrain here.

After penetrating deep into the interior of Baiyue at first, the elusive arrows of the Baiyue people stopped Qin Jun's advance.

Wang Jian is a bold but cautious general. After knowing the disadvantages of the Qin army, he did not divide his troops wantonly, but only divided the Qin army into three groups.

After the first army captured the Minyue area, it established Shuzhong County here; the second army guarded Nanye, and together with the third army that occupied Panyu, South Vietnam, they marched towards Minyue and Nanyue. It caused great oppression to them, and temporarily gave up the temptation to Xi'ou at the same time.

But even though Wang Jian had reduced the pressure on the Qin army so carefully, he still couldn't change the immediate disadvantage - the soldiers of the Qin army could no longer bear the scorching heat that continued to heat up!

At the same time, the tribes of Baiyue also communicated in their own ways and launched continuous counterattacks.

Although the casualties of the Qin army were not many, it was a huge blow to the morale of the Qin army that had originally won Qi and Chu in one fell swoop.

After several attempts to counterattack failed, Wang Jian calmly realized that even if they paid a huge price to attack Baiyue, they would not be able to achieve the results they expected.

Wang Jian waved his hand, not caring that the Battle of Baiyue temporarily cast a shadow over his prestige, and said very calmly: "Send a message back to Xianyang and inform the prince that Wang Jian is incompetent and cannot find a way to capture Baiyue for the time being. Insufficient, please ask the prince to dispatch food and grass."

Meng Wu couldn't help but blushed when he remembered that after they conquered Qi and Chu with such vigor, they directly boasted to the prince that they went to Haikou and defeated Baiyue in three months.

He asked awkwardly: "General Wang Jian, if we have been blocked here, how can we explain to the crown prince?"

Wang Jian smiled, patted Meng Wu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Why did the lord and prince punish us for defeating a general? Let's stay here and think about ways to break through Baiyue with peace of mind."

What Wang Jian thought was exactly right. When he just sent the battle report to Xianyang City, Shi Lu, who had already been sent to Yugan with the army, had already mobilized civilians to dig a canal to connect the Xiang River and the Li River. Use the easiest way to safely transport food and grass here.

Only when the food road communicated, the Qin army who was full could have the mind to attack Baiyue.

"Oh? What happened again?" Wang Jian was slightly taken aback when he heard about this.

Recalling that the crown prince once told him that Baiyue was difficult to attack and that he must be cautious in using troops, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

He thought to himself: Unexpectedly, at such a young age, the prince would have already guessed that this battle might not go well for the old man just by looking at the map.

What a formidable young man!

Wang Jian thought for a while, and said very enlightenedly to the soldiers sent by Shi Lu: "Since there is a shortage of manpower, the generals in the old man's hands can be borrowed to help dig the canal. It is serious to be able to get through the grain road as soon as possible."

"Thank you, General, for your understanding. We Jian Yu really had no choice but to let the villain come to beg you." Xiao Bing hurriedly kowtowed to express his thanks.

After the war, the population of the people in the land of Jingchu dropped sharply.

Even if Shilu brought a lot of manpower, he couldn't afford the obvious situation that when the family requisitioned food and dug the canal at the same time, it was obviously stretched.

Wang Jian waved his hand and said without delay: "Since this matter is urgent—Meng Wu, Meng Yi, and Wang Ben listened to the order and led an army of 40 to Shi Lu's place to help him dig a canal and get through the grain road as soon as possible."

"Yes, the commander will obey!"

Even if the work of digging canals is not suitable for Qin's elite army, it is very important and no one cares about these things anymore.

Wang Jian only left an army of [-], enough to deal with the local residents of Baiyue, so don't come and disturb them casually.

After hearing the news, instead of feeling that they were overqualified, the generals of the Qin Army breathed a sigh of relief.

The state of Qin is located in the northwest, and the soldiers can endure the severe cold, but they can't get used to the climate where the air is full of sticky water vapor.

What's more, the jungle is full of insects and snakes, and poisonous insects biting people are terrible things. The soldiers of the Qin army would rather go north to fight the fierce Huns than stay and suffer in Baiyue.

It's almost fatal!

It's great that General Wang Jian can send them to dig the canal now!

Seeing all the happy faces when the army retreated here, Wang Jian couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

He himself also felt that he was very unsuited to the environment here, so he made such a decision when there was a serious shortage of talent, food, grass and military supplies.

The climate in Baiyue is indeed extremely hot, but Wang Jian does not believe that there will be no cool weather in Baiyue.

One day, their sons of the Qin Dynasty will be able to adapt to the environment. At that time, the barbarians of Baiyue must have a taste of their power!

Shi Lu has always been desperate for the task the prince gave him.

The death of Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu State, was too useless. After Qin State destroyed Chu, this group of aggressive Jing barbarians wished to eat the flesh and blood of Qin State officials. How could they try their best to cooperate?

Even though batch after batch of Chu people who disobeyed the order will be beheaded, Shi Lu knows in his heart that the food and grass in Chu is really about to be looted by him.

In ancient times, the transportation of grain and grass could only rely entirely on manpower or animal power.

Most of it will be consumed during transportation alone, and it is difficult to transport food and grass in Baiyue. Shi Lu is really grey.

Finally, the prince ordered the construction of a canal to solve the immediate predicament for Shi Lu, but the next moment he found that after the war, the number of people in Chu was seriously insufficient!

"General Mengwu?!!!" Shi Lu was in a state of desperation, wishing that the crops in the land of Jingchu would mature seven or eight times a year to raise enough food and grass for him.

Suddenly hearing footsteps that were tidy but trembling in the official office, Shi Lu quickly walked out.

When he spoke, the whole person immediately changed his voice in surprise.

Meng Wu jumped off his horse, strode up to Shi Lu, cupped his fists, and said with a hearty smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Jian Yu has lost a lot of weight."

Shi Lu waved his hands, followed by a smile on his face, shook his head and sighed, "I'm busy collecting food every day, and I have to call the peasants to dig canals—there are too many mosquitoes and insects in this poor place at night, I can't sleep at all, even if there are delicacies from mountains and seas, I can't eat it." , how can I not be thin? Look at my neck, it's so dark."

While talking, Shi Lu pulled down the collar casually, revealing two sections of neck skin with huge color difference, with a bitter smile on his face.

As soon as the words came out, the smile on his face faded.

He stepped forward and patted Meng Wu's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the battle is not going well, did the crown prince send an envoy to reprimand us?"

Hearing his words, Meng Wu's heart warmed, and he punched Shi Lu's chest with his backhand, and said in a low voice: "The prince told us to pay attention to safety, there is no reprimand, you don't have to worry."

Shi Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a happy expression: "The prince is lenient, it is our great luck."

After finishing speaking, Shi Lu turned his gaze to Wang Ben and Meng Yi, smiled and cupped his hands at them and said, "Little General Wang, Meng Yi, you are also here. Let's go, since General Wang Jian sent me so many helpers, let's hurry up Go to the place to be excavated. From tomorrow, it will be hard work."

"It's better to dig a river here than to be bitten by poisonous insects in the forest." Wang Ben replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the four of them walked towards the river bank with smiles on their faces. Shi Lu explained the specific method to the three of them in detail.

It is not fast to build the river, but with the participation of 40 strong troops, the project that was supposed to take several years was quickly completed in less than a year and a half.

When the river roared and connected the two big rivers, Shi Lu's eyes immediately turned red.

He couldn't help kneeling on the bank of the river, and said with a sigh: "With this canal, there will be no obstacles for our Daqin, whether it is army or food, to go deep into Baiyue."

A lot can be done in a year and a half.

When Shilu and the others presided over the excavation of the river channel, Qin Zichu finally wrote the edict of the Zen throne himself, and passed the position of the king of Qin to Yingzheng. In the border of Qin, two new titles finally appeared.

One is Qin Zichu's "Supreme King", and the other is Mrs. Huayang, who has been living in other palaces in the Qin Dynasty and playing happily with her sons and pets. Her title is even more unique "The Queen Mother".

Hearing these two names, Qin Zichu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but put a smile on his face: "...it's funny."

Ying Zheng, who was finally able to wear the same crown as Qin Zichu, turned around.

He looked at the lover who made the sound, raised his eyebrows, and raised his voice, "You don't think it sounds good?"

Qin Zichu got up and walked in front of Ying Zheng, straightened his collar neatly, and said with a soft smile, "It's really ugly, I'm more used to listening to the Supreme Emperor.... Well, but, it seems that I haven't heard you call me father for a long time. .”

The fully grown Ying Zheng was eight feet six inches taller than Qin Zichu by more than half a head. His mighty and strong body covered Qin Zichu's body, completely covering the sunlight outside the door, exuding a strong and attractive masculinity.

In the shadow, it was difficult for Qin Zichu to see his expression clearly.

Ying Zheng leaned forward, and suddenly kissed Qin Zichu lightly on the corner of his mouth, and said in an informal way, "How about I keep calling you 'Father Emperor' tonight?"

Qin Zichu couldn't control the blood welling up on his fair cheeks, and immediately pinched a crease on the neat collar with his hands.

"If I didn't bark at that time, I would feel better." Qin Zichu lowered his head, only willing to leave the red tips of his ears to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng held Qin Zichu's fingers that were pulling his collar into a mess, and said with a low smile, "Then it's not at night."

Qin Zichu's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Yingzheng with suggestive eyes.

Σ(っ°Д°;)っNo, that's not what I thought it meant, is it? ! !
