Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 267
Shi Huang cruised on the sea, but returned in just a few days.

As soon as he came back, before Yingzheng could digest his depression of not being able to find the immortal, an urgent military situation was urgently sent to Yingzheng's desk.

Under the leadership of the thirteen great clans of Yuyue, Cangwu, Xiou, Luoyue, Ouluo, Yangyue, Juwu, Xiyu, Anyang, Yangyue, Hanyue, Manyang, and Yueshang, a hundred tribes of Nanyue joined forces. More than [-] people marched north to invade Changsha, Lujiang, and Qianzhong counties.

Suddenly the soldiers of the three counties could not stop the incident, and dozens of cities have fallen into the hands of various ethnic groups in South Vietnam.

After Ren Xiao conquered Nanyue and returned in defeat, the Qin Empire has been planning a second conquest of Nanyue, hoping to pacify Lingnan in one battle.

Before Qin's army moved, the Nanyue Hundred Clans did it first.

How could Ying Zheng, who had just unified the Six Kingdoms and Hushi Huanyu, endure such a provocation.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he summoned the accompanying civil and military personnel to discuss the matter of conquering South Vietnam.

The Qin State was founded on farming and warfare, and the people of Qin had a surge of blood in their bones. Ren Xiao who had previously attacked the barbarians in South Vietnam and was killed, was naturally ridiculed by the Chinese military.

From the point of view of the Qin army, since he didn't take the initiative to attack, these foreign tribes in South Vietnam should just enjoy this period of stability with fear.

I never thought that the Nanman would dare to take the initiative to invade the frontier of the Great Qin, and I was really impatient.

As soon as this question was raised, almost all the accompanying officials shouted in unison, these small tribes in the south must be taught a lesson, let them know the power of Great Qin!

The question of whether to fight or not to fight is solved, and the only thing left is who to send to fight.

Most of the military generals guarded the Quartet of the Empire, and most of the civil servants accompanied the First Emperor on tour. The whole palace was arguing about this issue, and no one wanted the generals who were related to him to pick this peach.

After all, in the eyes of these civil servants, the Qin army that wiped out the six countries was an invincible existence. It is not obvious that a powerful country like Zhao Chu was wiped out under the iron cavalry of the Qin army. His military exploits!

As for Ren Xiao's defeat before, it can only be said that Ren Xiao is a fool and has nothing to do with Qin Jun.

Several senior ministers who seemed calm and steady on weekdays almost got into a fight in front of the first emperor when they disagreed with each other.

Compared with the excitement of the important officials in the palace, Ziying was a little silent at the moment.

If Ziying's memory is good, the attack on South Vietnam this year still failed in the end.

And the defeat was even worse than Ren Xiao's previous one. The hundreds of thousands of troops who went south to Lingnan were less than one out of ten, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire army was wiped out.

It was not until later that Ren Xiao was reactivated, and with the cooperation of Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo, South Vietnam was finally pacified.

According to Ziying's thinking, it is natural that Ren Xiao, who later pacified South Vietnam, would be the most suitable coach for this battle.

Although he was defeated by Nanyue before, Ren Xiao must have a clearer understanding of why he failed over the years, and maybe he has a more feasible plan to manage Southyue.

However, he also knew that it was not so difficult for Ren Xiao, who lost his troops and generals, to serve as the coach of the second expedition to South Vietnam.

Before realizing the difficulty of attacking Nanyue, everyone would probably think that Ren Xiao was an idiot general who humiliated the Qin army.

The accompanying ministers argued for the whole afternoon, but they still couldn't fight for the ugly Yinmao.

Ying Zheng, who has been a little headache after listening to it all afternoon, is worth ordering the matter to be postponed until tomorrow.

……

After returning to his bedroom, it was still his trusted eunuch Zhao Gao who waited on the first emperor to wash up before going to bed.

Having just finished the sea voyage, and then listened to the quarrel all afternoon, Ying Zheng was indeed a little tired this time.

Leaning on the table, slowly closing his eyes, he let Zhao Gao comb his hair gently, enjoying the peace of this moment.

"Tell me, who is more suitable to send to conquer South Vietnam?" After a long time, Ying Zheng suddenly said this sentence to Zhao Gao slowly.

The purpose of the courtiers' dispute was not clear to Yingzheng, but among the selections mentioned this afternoon, there was no general whom Emperor Shihuang particularly favored.

"To be on the safe side, the old general Wang Jian or Lord Chang'an should be the top. It's just..."

Having said that, Zhao Gao did not continue.

"Just what?" Ying Zheng asked, leaning back, still in his posture.

"It's just that General Wang is old, and it's inconvenient to change his hearing and action before going on patrol. As for Lord Chang'an..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Gao put the ivory comb in his hand aside and knelt down with a plop, and continued: "For the sake of the long-term plan of the Great Qin, Lord Chang'an is really not suitable for leading the army in the eyes of my ministers."

As soon as Zhao Gao said this, Ying Zheng paused.

Zhao Gao's words could not be said to be cruel, and it can be said that they hit the concerns of the first emperor.

As he got older, the issue of the smooth continuation of the Great Qin Empire had already been placed in front of Yingzheng. Although Xu Shi went to sea to find the medicine of immortality, it was still unclear when he could get it.

Before realizing longevity, the most important thing is to let Daqin make a smooth transition.

However, many of his descendants, even Fusu, the eldest son of the king whom he cares most about at present, cannot compare with Ziying in terms of status and prestige in the country.

Not to mention the comparison with Ziying's reputation in the army.

In the past few years of the unification of the world, out of various ideas, he has also intentionally or unintentionally weakened generals such as Wang Ben, Li Xin, Sima Shang, Peng Yue, etc. who were outstanding in the war against the Six Kingdoms, and began to reuse Montessori. Brothers and other generals who were not well-known before.

Although Ziying doesn't have any position, but his combat achievements are too great, and his influence on the army is too great.

And the most important point, Ziying is really too young.When I was there, I was able to deter the world from making any changes. In case I failed to live forever, the Great Qin was passed on to the second and third generations, and in case something happened.

Under Ziying's prestige, whether the army obeyed the king or Chang'an Jun's dispatch was a matter of opinion.

Everyone is innocent and guilty, and the existence of Ziying at this time is a threat, even if it is an unnecessary threat.

Zhao Gao reminded that even if Yingzheng knew that Ziying, who had experience in pacifying East Vietnam, might be the best candidate for Wang Jian to attack South Vietnam after his retirement, he would not let Ziying take over the military power again.

Not only Ziying, but generals such as Wang Ben and Li Xin who have a close relationship with Ziying are not suitable for further use.

"I know your loyalty, but get up now." Ying Zheng murmured in a low voice: "Besides this, who else is worthy of the big job?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words that were almost talking to himself, Zhao Gao couldn't help but feel happy.

That's what I've been waiting for.

"I have one minister, who can share the emperor's worries!" Zhao Gao immediately changed into a careless and awe-inspiring expression after getting up, and said respectfully.

"Who?" Shi Huang asked casually.

"Tu Sui!"
