Ten days later.
Li Xin and Meng Tian split into two groups and quickly took back the remaining cities of Chu to Qin.
At this point, the entire Jingchu region was covered with Great Qin's black flags!
Kuaiji.
This place was originally the old land of Yue State.
Back then, when King Wu of Qin died, the Chu Country took the opportunity to attack the Yue Country and successfully destroyed the Yue Country, taking Kuaiji into the Chu Country.
But now, Kuaiji, which originally belonged to Chu, had already changed hands to Qin.
Li Xin and Meng Tian agreed to meet up in Kuaiji after taking over the cities of Chu.
Because Kuaiji was located along the coast, if one went south from there, they would be able to enter Ouyue, which was considered to be within the range of Baiyue.
Although Baiyue was called Baiyue, it was not an independent country.
Instead, it was made up of countless Gu Yue tribes of all sizes.
Only when these tribes merged together would they be known as the Bai Yue.
Among the many tribes in the Bai Yue, there were four tribes with the largest influence and the strongest. These four tribes established their own countries. From north to south, they were Ou Yue, Min Yue, South Yue, and Xi Ou.
Li Xin's target was Ou Yue and Min Yue of the four tribes.
As long as these two tribes were taken down, he would be able to fulfill his promise to Ying Zheng, which was to bring half of the Yue into the Qin Territory.
Moreover, Li Xin only wanted to take down these two countries for the time being.
Further down, South Yue and West Ou were not easy to attack due to the terrain and climate.
In history, Tu Sui had led 500,000 troops to attack the Bai Yue, but he had suffered heavy casualties at the hands of these two tribes, causing him to be shot by a poisonous arrow and lose his life for nothing.
With this lesson, Li Xin naturally wouldn't rashly advance.
At the very least, he had to wait until he suggested to Ying Zheng to dig out the spiritual canal connecting the Xiang River and Min River.
"Elder brother, how are the preparations of the soldiers?”Li Xin asked Meng Tian about the situation of the Qin army.
After destroying Chu, the 100,000 strong army would continue to be led by Li Xin.
Ying Zheng's imperial edict also stated that Li Xin would still be the commander and Meng Tian would be the deputy.
Meng Tian naturally had no objections to this.
He had a close relationship with Li Xin. In addition to the strength that Li Xin displayed when he attacked Chu, Meng Tian was very convinced.
After the battle to destroy Chu, Li Xin had become one of the most outstanding people in Great Qin's younger generation.
" Yes." Meng Tian nodded in response." The soldiers are all ready. The rations in Chengfu and Ying Du are already on the way to Kuaiji."”
As the saying went, before the troops moved, the grain and fodder moved first.
During the process of taking back the cities of Chu, Li Xin ordered the grain reserves of Chu that were originally stored in Chengfu and Ying Du to be transported to Kuaiji, so that it would be convenient to provide supplies for his 100,000 strong army.
The speed of transporting grain was not as fast as the army, so it was naturally a little slow.
Fortunately, Li Xin had given the order in advance, and a large amount of grain was about to arrive in Kuaiji.
"Also, the medicinal herbs needed to make the herbal tea have been distributed to every hundred generals. They only need to add water to boil them.”Meng Tian continued.
Li Xin was satisfied. He trusted Meng Tian.
"Order the entire army to immediately set off south into Vietnam!”Li Xin ordered the deputy general beside him.
"Yes!"
The 100,000-strong Qin army immediately set off in the direction of Ou Yue with high morale.
All of Great Qin's elite soldiers looked incredibly excited.
It was not easy for them to stay!
Before Wang Ben left, he had to persuade Li Xin to select 100,000 elite soldiers from the 300,000 Qin soldiers.
The 100,000 people who stayed behind had used all their skills to get what they wanted.
Li Xin had led them to destroy the Chu Country in a very short time, and they had not suffered many casualties when they attacked the Ying Capital.
They were clear that following Li Xin could win battles and earn military merits, but there wouldn't be too much danger!
Having military merits meant that one could stand out, own fertile land, and go home to marry a wife!
Tell me, how could the Qin soldiers not grasp this opportunity?
Being able to stay behind and attack the Bai Yue with Li Xin meant that they had the chance to gain merit points!
This was something that he didn't even dare to think about in the past.
Although the Qin army in the past could make the other countries fear them, if they really fought, they would still suffer a lot when faced with the strong resistance of the other countries 'armies.
If he followed Li Xin, he wouldn't have to worry about this!
As such, these 100,000 Qin soldiers wished they could enter Vietnam as soon as possible. All of them were thinking about how they could kill the enemy before their comrades.
However, two days later, when the Qin army stepped into Yue Di, they were dumbfounded…
If it wasn't for the fact that the commandant had repeatedly confirmed it, even Li Xin himself wouldn't have noticed that he had stepped into Ou Yue territory.
It was because they did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
Not to mention the Ou Yue army, even the Yue people were nowhere to be seen.
Under such circumstances, Li Xin continued to lead the army south.
Finally, after half a day of marching, a building that looked like a village appeared in front of them.
The village was surrounded by a wooden wall…En, it could barely be considered a city wall.
There were also Vietnamese standing guard, dressed in clothes completely different from those of the Central Plains.
The few Vietnamese on sentry duty saw Li Xin's army appear in front of them and shouted a few words.
Li Xin heard it but did not understand what it meant…
Fortunately, he had brought along a few Chu people who could speak the Baiyue language. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to even communicate.
Under the translation of the Chu people, Li Xin could not help but laugh.
The Vietnamese sentry had asked them if they were the Chu army and said that the King of Chu had already made an agreement with the King of Ou Yue not to invade the Yue land. Why would the Chu army still appear here?
It seemed that the Bai Yue did not know that the Chu Country had been destroyed…
......
It seemed like he had woken up late…But I still have to remind the big shots not to forget the flower evaluation tickets.
