Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 268

Tu Sui didn't have a good reputation in the unification war, but recently, he has gained fame in the court of Qin State, and he can be said to be the best among the rising stars of Qin State's military.

As we all know, there are many tribes in the area of ​​Chu State. It can be said that these tribes have always listened to the Chu State court and not listened to the announcement. The King of Chu has not always had a strong control over them.

After the state of Chu was conquered by the state of Qin, these tribes naturally surrendered to the state of Qin.

However, the strong Qin is no better than the Chu State, and these tribes are not qualified to act as cheaply as Dongyue. Under the constraints of Qin Law, the tribes who were used to living a carefree life are naturally unbearable for a while.

Since they couldn't bear it, a group of rebellious tribes launched a rebellion against Qin's "tyranny" last year under the tandem of several "highly respected" elders.

Due to these tribes' local battles, Qin State's control over the just captured Chu land is not so strict, and Qin State's army has just returned to Xianyang for repairs.

At the beginning of the war, the tribal coalition forces could be said to be invincible, and the soldiers of the Qin State County were very miserable.

At that time, Tu Sui was just a captain of Changsha County. In the first battle of Guiyang, when the county guard avoided the battle, he used more than a thousand county soldiers to resist the coalition army of three thousand tribes and won a complete victory.

Then he was named a school lieutenant because of his meritorious service. After the Qin Dynasty army arrived, he led [-] Qin troops to slaughter dozens of tribes in three months. It can stop children from crying at night.

However, it was precisely because of the heavy killings that Tu Sui was reprimanded by the first emperor in order to appease Chu after the rebellion was put down, and now he is at home.

But what everyone doesn't know is that Tu Sui was not willing to sink down after being idle, but actively started activities in Xianyang, hoping to be reused.

The focus of Tu Sui's activities was the first emperor's confidant eunuch——Zhao Gao.

In order to win the trust of Zhao Gao, Tu Sui not only donated most of his family property to Zhao Gao, but also directly recognized Zhao Gao as his adoptive father in private, regardless of his age being only seven or eight years younger than Zhao Gao.

The money was also collected, and the godson also recognized it, so Zhao Gao naturally had to find an opportunity to make a plan for his godson.

Moreover, Zhao Gao, who is an eunuch, also desperately hopes to build up his own power in the military.

"Tu Sui." Ying Zheng repeated twice to himself.

When Zhao Gao mentioned this, Emperor Shihuang also thought of this "violent general" who had been refrigerated by him for almost a year.

Speaking of which, those small tribes in Chu State and the hundreds of tribes in Nanyue may have some blood relationship after hundreds of years, and they even belonged to the same tribe.

It's just that with the slow expansion of Chu State and the development of the Yangtze River Basin, these tribes living in the north were exposed in front of Chu State and were forced to surrender to Chu State.

This Tu Sui, who dealt with these tribes in Chu State so cleanly and neatly, would certainly be able to deal with the hundreds of tribes in Nanyue.

Moreover, these tribes of the Chu State, no matter how you say it, can be regarded as the people of the Great Qin who surrendered to the Qin State, and they are not suitable for mass slaughter.

The South Vietnamese barbarians in Lingnan have no such concerns at all.

……

Early the next morning, Emperor Shihuang summoned the accompanying officials to meet again in the palace.

The big bosses who have been holding back all night are already gearing up to "persuade" Emperor Shihuang to use the candidate they recommended at today's court meeting.

However, this idea will eventually come to nothing.

"Your Majesty, General Weng Zhong is brave and invincible. If he is allowed to attack Nanyue, it will be absolutely effortless!" Prime Minister Wang Wan was the first to jump out as soon as Fang sat down.

"General Weng Zhong is more than brave. He is definitely my great Qin general. However, this expedition to Nanyue is different from the past. Our army does not know what kind of combat mode it has against the Yue people, and what kind of backhand it is. I only see that General Meng Tian should be the leader when attacking Nanyue. superior."

Before Wang Wan finished speaking, Li Si retorted aloud.

Li Si's words were rather tactful. Everyone here knew that the General Weng Zhong recommended by Wang Wan was indeed one of the best generals in a thousand, but he was a bit lacking in strategy.

Such a general is definitely a good player in charge, but if he is sent to Nanyue, where the Qin army knows nothing, it is hard to say what the result will be.

On the contrary, Meng Tian recommended by Li Si is much more reliable.

His father was Meng Wu, a veteran of the Qin State, and his grandfather was Meng Ao, who had made great contributions to the Qin State.

Meng Tian even participated in the battle to wipe out the remnants of the Yan Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty, so he has rich experience.

Seeing that the state of "challenge" like yesterday will soon be staged in the hall.

Sitting tall, Ying Zheng coughed lightly.

Zhao Gao, who understood what the first emperor was thinking, immediately shouted loudly: "Be quiet!"

After Zhao Gao shouted, everyone noticed the displeasure on Shi Huang's face, and immediately became quiet.

"Order Tu Sui, the former school lieutenant, to return to his original post, command an army of 30 to pacify South Vietnam, Zhao Tuo assists him, and recruit 20 prisoners to transport food and grass."

The first emperor's next words really shattered everyone's hopes. Yingzheng did not adopt anyone's opinion, but directly appointed Tu Sui, who was idle in Xianyang, as the main general to conquer South Vietnam.

Although Tu Sui's status and qualifications were not enough to command an army of 30 troops, but everyone looked at Shi Huang's stern face and didn't dare to say anything.

Since the unification of the world, the first emperor's behavior style has become really elusive, and the things that have been decided are rarely changed because of the persuasion of his officials.

On the contrary, several ministers were convicted for their words because of their tit-for-tat confrontation and disagreement with the first emperor.

Seeing that the first emperor had issued an order, all the officials did not dare to touch this brow at this time.

However, the very honest Ziying who had been sitting on the side was shocked when he heard the order from the first emperor.

In history, it was not Tu Sui who led the Qin army to attack South Vietnam and almost wiped out the whole army in the end.

The Yue people were unruly and rebellious. Although it would be difficult to say that it would be difficult to capture South Vietnam if they were a safe general, at least they would not be wiped out.

As for Tu Sui, according to Ziying's understanding, although he had certain military talents, he was very cruel. Counting the battles he has experienced, it can be said that the areas he conquered were barren of grass.

It is really inappropriate for such a person to attack Nanyue. Nanyue is not like those tribes in Chu who have long been unsuited to living in the jungle. It was useless to go in.

Not caring about angering the First Emperor, Ziying hurriedly stood up to stop him and said, "Your Majesty must not slaughter Sui as a general!"

"Nanyue has high mountains and dense forests, and the terrain is complex, and the various ministries are intricate. The conquest is gradually being planned. I hope His Majesty will carefully decide on the candidate." Although Ziying saw the anger on the face of the first emperor, he still said bravely.

The main force of the 30 Qin army was lost in South Vietnam in vain.On the premise of knowing the history in advance, it is really hard for Ziying to ignore it.
