"What will happen in this battle?"
Chu Han muttered to himself and finished the wine in his bowl in one gulp. He stood up and said,"Sigh, I won't talk about it anymore. I'm going to take stock.”
Hearing Chu Han's long sigh, Ying Zheng knew very well that Chu Han was not optimistic about Qin's conquest of the Bai Yue, which made him even more curious.
A person who could analyze the Qin army's conquest of the Baiyue based on the details, why was he not optimistic about the outcome of the Qin army's conquest?
With a look, Meng Yi stood up and closed the door of the store. Ying Zheng grabbed Chu Han's hand and said with a smile,""Shopkeeper, why are you leaving so soon? Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about what happened today. You can speak freely!”
At this moment, Meng Yi closed the door and walked back. He cupped his hands and smiled,"Shopkeeper, did any officials come to look for you after our chat last time? My master is a man of integrity. If he says he won't tell anyone, then he definitely won't tell anyone. Besides, we're just chatting casually. If it goes in one ear, it goes out the other.”
After saying that, Meng Yi took out another Yi of gold and stuffed it into Chu Han's hand.
After weighing the weight of the gold in his hand, Chu Han's mood immediately improved.
He really didn't want to tell the two people in front of him about this in detail, but this gold was too fragrant!
He sat back on the stool and filled the three of them with wine. Chu Han smiled and said,"I'm the one who judged a gentleman's belly with my petty heart. Us brothers hit it off at first sight, so what can't we say?”
Meng Yi heaved a sigh of relief and quickly smiled."Extremely, extremely!"
After taking a sip of wine, Chu Han sighed lightly."In my opinion, if we fight this battle, Great Qin will definitely win!”
"If that's the case, why is the shopkeeper sighing so much?" asked Ying Zheng in confusion. Did the shop owner not want Great Qin to win?”
"Of course I hope that Great Qin will win!" Chu Han looked at Ying Zheng and said," But what if the victory of Great Qin was built on the mountains of corpses and seas of blood of the people of Great Qin?”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said," The population of the Baiyue Country is only about 400,000, and the number of men in their prime is less than 100,000. Our Great Qin has over a million soldiers! This trip to Baiyue would be unstoppable. Why would there be mountains of corpses and seas of blood? Shopkeeper, aren't you being too pessimistic?”
"What do you know?" Chu Han sneered. Do you think Great Qin's enemies are the Yue soldiers? Wrong! He was gravely mistaken! Great Qin's greatest enemies were the Bai Yue region's humid and hot climate, the frequent plagues, and the terrible logistics!”
" No," Ying Zheng shook his head nonchalantly and said," The people of the old Qin might not be used to the climate of the Baiyue, but could it be that the people of Chu are not used to it either? The Imperial Court only needed to recruit soldiers from the original Chu Country to conquer the Bai Yue, and these problems would not be a problem!”
Chu Han tapped Ying Zheng's nose and said,""Outsider, a naked outsider! Find a person from Chu and ask him if he can adapt to South Yue's climate. Ask him if Great Qin's supplies can be transported to South Yue.”
Ying Zheng ignored Chu Han's rudeness. Seeing Chu Han's solemn expression, he frowned slightly and began to hesitate.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng stood up and said,""Shopkeeper, we had a good chat today, but I still have something to do.”
Waving his sleeve, Ying Zheng asked Meng Yi to put down a few pieces of Qin coins, then turned around and left the Chuji Restaurant with Meng Yi.
As he rode back to the palace, Ying Zheng said directly,""Summon Tu Ju to see me!"
After a while, a robust northern man strode over and cupped his hands."I, Tu Ju, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng had already recovered his former imperial bearing. Sitting on the dragon throne, he asked indifferently,""How are the preparations for the southern expedition?”
Tu Ju said confidently,"As long as His Majesty gives the order, I can go south at any time!"”
"Have you considered the hot and humid climate, plagues, and logistical problems in the Baiyue Lands?" asked Ying Zheng.”
Tu Ju was stunned, but he still said confidently,""There are many Chu people in the southern expedition this time. I believe that the climate of the Bai Yue is not a problem for them!”
"Stand down!" Ying Zheng said coldly.
"This…"
Tu Ju was a little confused, completely unable to understand why Ying Zheng was suddenly enraged.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said,"Find a Chu person who has been to the Hundred Yue Land."”
"Yes, sir!"
A few guards obeyed the order and quickly found five Chu people.
"F * ck, commoner pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Seeing Ying Zheng sitting on the dragon throne, a few Chu people shivered in fear.
Ying Zheng waved his hand slightly, and Meng Yi took a step forward and asked on his behalf,""You are all Chu people, can you adapt to the climate and plague of the Baiyue?”
"This commoner can totally adapt!"
"I'm willing to do my best for Your Majesty!”
The four Chu people quickly spoke up, saying that they could completely adapt to the climate of the Baiyue. Only the last Chu person, who was sweating profusely, did not dare to answer.
"What about you?" Meng Yi asked. Why aren't you talking?"
In the end, the Chu man knelt on the ground with a thud and said in fear,""Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. Unlike the four of them, I live in the Bai Yue all year round and was even born in the Bai Yue. If it was Ou Yue, I could accept it, but if it was Xi Ou, Dong Ou, South Yue and other places, I really dare not go!”
"What?" "Tell me in detail!" Meng Yi was shocked.”
" The further south we go, the hotter the weather becomes," the Chu man hurriedly said." It's different from the heat in the north. The heat is extremely irritating and can cause night sweats. It's very easy to get heatstroke. There's also the plague…"
That Chu man thought that Ying Zheng wanted the five of them to be guides in the Baiyue Land, so he told them all about the dangers in the Baiyue Land.
In order to show that he was not a coward, but that it was too dangerous, he even exaggerated the danger of the Hundred Yue Land.
As the Chu man spoke, Tu Ju's face turned as pale as a sheet.
How could he not have consulted the local guide before?
However, this was just like the story of a pony crossing a river. In the eyes of those guides, the land of Baiyue was just a little hotter. It was fine as long as they avoided some poisonous miasma springs.
However, in the eyes of those who were not used to the climate of the Baiyue Land, that place was hell!
Ying Zheng and Meng Yi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear.
It was good that he listened to Shopkeeper Chu's words. Otherwise, he was afraid that it would really turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
