Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 465 Returning to South Vietnam
Even though Ziying was on his way with all his strength, it was already a month later when he crossed Changsha County and arrived at the Lingqu Canal he dug that year.

After passing through Lingqu is Guilin County in South Vietnam.

However, when he arrived at the northern section of Lingqu, Ziying's heart slowly sank.

As the main artery connecting South Vietnam and the Central Plains, Lingqu was originally a place with extremely busy water transportation, but what Ziying saw here was dilapidated.

The water is still flowing, but no sails pass by, and there is no scene of thousands of sails passing by when leaving.

There is only one possibility for this situation to happen, and that is that someone has blocked the Lingqu!

It is naturally impossible for Ren Xiao to do such a thing, and the person who did it is ready to appear - Zhao Tuo.

If Ren Xiao is really seriously ill as in history and can't take things seriously, then Zhao Tuo is the only choice for him to hand over to the army.

When Tu Sui was defeated, it was precisely because Zhao Tuo gathered the Qin army and retreated to Lingling, which saved the main force of the 40 Qin army. It can be said that Zhao Tuo made a great contribution. There is no reason to kill.

It doesn't matter if you don't reward for meritorious deeds, but if you slaughter innocent people, it will hurt the morale of the army too much.

Therefore, when it comes to the prestige in the Qin army in Nanyue, if Ziying is the first, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo should be tied for second.

In the case of Ren Xiao's serious illness, only Zhao Tuo was able to make the 40 troops bow their heads and obey orders, so that there would be no trouble.

Blocking all roads between South Vietnam and the Central Plains and cutting off all communication between the two places was the first step in history for Zhao Tuo to separate himself from South Vietnam.

We must arrive before Zhao Tuo completely controls the Nanyue Qin Army!
Having figured this out, Ziying continued his journey south along the Lingqu, regardless of the hardships along the way.

"Whoever comes will stop, and anyone who enters South Vietnam will be killed!" Ziying didn't walk for long before meeting the first wave of soldiers blocking the way.

This is a small military camp, with a size of about 500 people at most.

It is naturally impossible for a mere 500 people to resist the army, but it is enough to stop some people from the Central Plains who want to enter the South Vietnam, and to isolate the news between the two places.

Of course, Zhao Tuo didn't think that he would be able to do his best in this way. Zhao Tuo had hoarded a large number of troops in the county near Lingqu.

Not only Lingqu, but also other land routes that can communicate with the two places, Zhao Tuo arranged soldiers to guard them.

With the help of Lingnan's geographical advantages, as long as it cuts off contact with the Central Plains, it is entirely possible to rely on it.

In the eyes of the guards, the fugitive who came today was too bold. Not only did he dare to cross the vast mountains and forests to go to South Vietnam by himself, but he also moved forward without hesitation in the face of reprimands from people like himself. .

It is no wonder that these soldiers regard Ziying as a refugee from the Central Plains. In order to get to South Vietnam as soon as possible, Ziying has suffered a lot in the past month in order to get to South Vietnam as soon as possible.

"Fire the arrows!" Seeing that Ziying continued to move forward regardless of dissuasion, under the order of the patrolling team leader, a group of more than a dozen Qin soldiers drew their bows and arrows and shot at Ziying.

General Zhao Tuo has an order to enter South Vietnam rashly and refuse to listen to dissuasion—kill without mercy!

However, these dozens of bows and arrows shot in front of the refugee, but the man suddenly accelerated his pace and dodged all the arrows very deftly.

"Boom boring..." The sound of bows, arrows and gravels didn't come until the man dodged all the arrows.

"Enemy attack~" Seeing this, the head of the village immediately shouted in a loud voice.

The quality of the Qin army is not covered. Not long after, this 500-strong Qin army rushed over under the leadership of five hundred masters and surrounded Ziying.

"Hu Fang, don't you even know Gu!" Ziying saw that the five hundred masters turned out to be someone he knew, so he immediately called out his name.

In fact, the officers with more than [-] masters of the Qin Army, because Ziying has been hanging out with the middle and lower-level Qin Army every day since the first battle against Chu, although they are not familiar with them, with the help of his powerful memory, they can basically be called Come up with a name.

As soon as he heard this person call out his name, the five hundred masters called Hu Fang were stunned immediately. This person can call out his name in one breath. Could it be his old friend from the past.

At this moment, Ziying also walked slowly to the edge of Lingqu, washed his face with a pool of clear water, then brushed his hair that had been scattered in front of his head to the back of his head, and took out Mo Zijian's beard, which was already unwilling to be lonely I shaved it off in two or three strokes, revealing my original appearance.

When Hu Fang saw it, his first reaction was familiarity, and then he was pleasantly surprised.

Immediately jumped off the horse, ran quickly in front of Ziying and knelt down with a plop.

"King Qin, you are not dead!"

"The traitor is in power, the world is uncertain, Gu'an dares to abandon it."

Due to Ziying's long-standing acts of goodwill, even among the lowest rank soldiers without titles in the Qin army, a large part of them knew Ziying's appearance.

Hearing the cry of Hu Fang, the leader of the five hundred, many of these Qin soldiers immediately recognized Ziying's identity, threw the weapons in their hands, and surrounded Ziying.

As far as the Qin army is concerned, Qin Ziying is not only extremely kind to the middle and lower ranks of sergeants, but also has a high prestige in the army, and it is itself a legend of the Qin army.

There is no invincible enemy for him in the Qin army.

The reason why they obeyed Zhao Tuo's order was that the news of Ziying's death had spread before Ren Xiao fell ill. All of them thought that Ziying had died in Xianyang.

The second is that Ren Xiao entrusted the command of the South Vietnamese army to Zhao Tuo on his sick bed, and Zhao Tuo had a lot of prestige in the South Vietnamese army, so he took over the power smoothly.

After Zhao Tuo came to power, in order to gather the morale of the army, let the Qin army cut off the possibility of being recruited by the Qin court, and successfully realize his goal of separatist South Vietnam, he even directly announced that Prince Qin Ying was killed by the current second emperor.

Ziying died in the first place, and there are many doubters in the world. Zhao Tuo said it so honestly, and immediately echoed Qin Jun's thoughts.

Therefore, at this moment, the South Vietnamese army's perception of Qin Ting can be said to be extremely poor. It is not because the envoys from Xianyang arrived and ordered this Qin army to go north to quell the chaos. However, they were directly instigated by Zhao Tuo when they arrived in South Vietnam. Qin Jun was beaten to death.

After Ziying learned about the recent situation in South Vietnam from Hu Fang, he immediately ordered these people to take a boat with him and drive directly to Panyu City.

At this moment, although Ren Xiao is seriously ill, he has not died yet. Zhao Tuo did not dare to go too far. Although he has temporarily stolen the control of the army, Ziying believes that just like Hu Fang, he is fully capable of relying on his many years of experience. Jiwei regained control of the South Vietnamese army.
