Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 44 The [-] Soldiers of Fusu

When the Nanyue king received the head of the general of the Bushan camp, Fusu, who was far away in Xianyang, had already received the report from Peng Yue.In the next two days, the memorials of Zhang Liang and Wu Guang were sent to Fusu of Xianyang Palace.

After receiving Wu Guangzuo's court meeting the next day, Fusu informed the ministers of the news that Peng Yue and others had recovered the three counties of Guilin County.

"My son, I congratulate you for taking back the three counties of Guilin County in South Vietnam. Most of Guilin County has been under my Daqin's rule. I think it is much more difficult to keep the three counties of Guilin County than to take these three counties. Daqin should send an army immediately Enter Guilin County and assist the soldiers of Yinglong Army to establish a foothold in South Vietnam. Once the Great Qin has firmly controlled Guilin County, then our Qin army can attack South Vietnam as it pleases. The old minister suggested that Meng Tian’s 20 troops should be transferred to South Vietnam. Help Peng Yue stabilize the situation in Guilin County." Li Si stood up from his seat and said.

The reason why Li Si was able to sit on the chair to participate in the court meeting was all because of Fusu's compassion.

When Fusu saw that the elderly Li Si had to endure the torment of sitting on his knees during court meetings, he asked the craftsmen of the Daqin Ordnance Academy to build a chair with a backrest for Li Si.

Because the Qin Dynasty did not have the habit of using chairs, Fusu had no choice but to draw a sketch himself, and asked the craftsmen of the Daqin Ordnance Academy to make several chairs according to the sketch.

After the chair was ready, Fusu told Li Si that he could sit and attend the court meeting in the future.At the beginning, Li Si was unwilling to accept Fusu's sympathy, so Fusu had to issue an edict to sit and participate in the court meeting as a reward for Li Si's assistance to the two generations of the Great Qin Kings. discuss.

"Prime Minister Li, you do have far-reaching plans, but I don't think it's time to use Meng Tian's army. I think Meng Tian's army is more deterrent than moving. With the gradual advancement of the South Vietnam War, our Great Qin is bound to fight against South Vietnam. When the war starts, we are afraid that Jiangdong Xiang Clan will send troops to aid South Vietnam. If Meng Tian's army does not move, Jiangdong Xiang Clan and Liu Ji of Nadang County will never dare to act rashly." Fusu said to Li Si.

"Young master, Zhao Tuo's South Vietnam Army has 30 people, and most of them are fierce soldiers who attacked South Vietnam with Ren Xiao. If only 30 Yinglong troops are in the area, they will definitely not be able to defend. They live in the three counties of Guilin County. If you don’t use Meng Tian’s army, how can you stop these [-] South Vietnamese soldiers?”

Li Si was worried that Fusu might misjudge the South Vietnamese military strength, so he quickly explained.

"Prime Minister, I know you are worried that I will underestimate the enemy, but don't forget that I, Daqin, still have [-] soldiers hiding in the three counties of Guilin County." Fusu said to Li Si with a mysterious face.

"Young Master, all the soldiers, horses, food and grass of my Daqin are stored in the belly of the veteran. How can I still not know how many soldiers there are in South Vietnam? The three thousand Yinglong Army, even including the uprising South Vietnam Army, is only a mere 2 people Where are the [-] soldiers you mentioned?"

"Prime Minister, if I say yes, there must be. How about we make a bet?"

"My lord, don't lie to me anymore, I really don't know where the [-] soldiers came from. Please tell me clearly, my lord."

Li Si racked his brains and couldn't figure out where the [-] troops that Fusu mentioned were, so he had no choice but to ask Fusu to explain.

"Prime Minister Li, there are 20 people in the three counties of Guilin County under the rule of Daqin. If I issue an edict to the people of these three counties, all those who assist Daqin in defending their respective counties will be exempted from paying taxes for three years. How many people will there be?" The common people help us guard the three counties of Guilin County. If I add one more item, everyone who assists us in guarding their respective prefectures and counties can get two stones of food from the imperial court every year. How many people will help us guard the Qin army? The three counties of Guilin."

Li Si couldn't believe it for a while after hearing what Fusu said.

"Young master, even if you add 20 people, you can't stand up to 30 South Vietnamese troops?"

"Prime Minister, I don't expect 20 people to help me resist the South Vietnamese army. As long as there are 12 people, it is enough. Naturally, the combat power of the people is not as good as soldiers who have experienced many battles. Calculated by combat power, 12 people can outnumber [-] soldiers, plus the Yinglong Army and the South Vietnam Rebel Army, the entire South Vietnam already has a strength of [-]."

Fusu looked at the courtiers and explained.In fact, there are many successful cases in history of mobilizing the people to defend the city. During the Battle of Handan during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the Qin army besieged Handan for two years. Qin Jun.

"Young master, 30 soldiers are still no match for [-] South Vietnamese troops!" Li Si said worriedly.

"Prime Minister, although the South Vietnamese Army claims to have 30 people, they may not all be deployed on the Guilin battlefield. If Zhao Tuo could send 15 South Vietnamese military regions to attack the three counties of Guilin County during the war, even if he ruled the country It’s over. There are many bandits in South Vietnam, and Jiangdong is eyeing them. Will Zhao Tuo dare to mobilize all 30 troops to Guilin County? As long as I send [-] tiger and cardinal troops around the periphery of Nanhai County, Zhao Tuo will obediently send them to Guilin County. [-] to [-] South Vietnamese troops were transferred back to Panyu. Based on this calculation, Zhao Tuo could only send [-] to [-] South Vietnamese troops to attack our three counties in Guilin County."

After hearing what Fusu said, Li Si understood the basis for Fusu's daring to make such calculations. After thinking about it for a while, he thought that what Fusu said was reasonable, so he no longer worried that Fusu would underestimate the enemy, and expressed his support with all the courtiers Fusu's point of view.

"My lords, if we attack the three counties of Guilin County with almost the same strength and strong defenses, the South Vietnamese Army will be at a disadvantage. As long as my guards strengthen the defenses of the counties, we can stockpile enough Enough food and materials, even if it lasts for a year or two, it is not a problem. I intend to allocate 100 million shi of grain to Guilin County, which is enough for [-] troops to use for two years to defend the city. What do you think?"

"My lord, I think your plan is very good, I have no objection."

Seeing that the ministers no longer had any doubts about his decision, Fusu asked Meng Yi to start allocating grain, grass and military equipment to Guilin County according to his own plan.

One month later, when Zhao Tuo was preparing to send troops to Guilin County, the three counties of Guilin County under Fusu's rule had already stockpiled enough food, grass and military equipment to support a year of high-intensity war.
