After the camp guards went to report.
Ying Mu and the rest waited for about ten minutes before they saw Li Xin and his generals appear.
"This lowly general Li Xin greets His Highness the Yue King!”
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Li Xin and his group left the camp and came to Ying Wrangler's carriage.
"Haha, General Li, there's no need to be so polite. Generals, there's no need to be so polite!”
Ying Mu laughed loudly. He didn't show any displeasure because of the wait.
Because he was very clear that this was not Li Xin and the other generals deliberately stalling for time to show him their might.
It was because the camp was too big.
Even if there was a messenger on a flying horse to report, it would still take a lot of time to go back and forth.
Not to mention that after Li Xin received the news, he had to quickly gather all the generals in the camp and bring them to welcome him.
Therefore, a cup of tea's time was already very fast for Li Xin and the others.
He exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Li Xin and the others.
Ying Mu was led into the main camp of the Qin army.
After the carriage followed Li Xin and the others into the camp.
Only then did he truly see the true appearance of the Qin army's camp.
In the camp, barracks were scattered and the commander's flag was fluttering.
The sun in the sky was scorching hot.
However, it couldn't offset the cold light from the weapons and equipment, the entire camp was filled with killing intent.
The soldiers of the three armies stood in the drill ground in an orderly manner.
They had the scorching sun above their heads, wore thick armor, and held long spears in their hands.
Even though they were drenched in sweat and the heat was unbearable, they stood there like stone statues, unmoving like mountains.
The strict discipline of the army was moving.
"Welcome, Your Highness!"
"Welcome, Your Highness!"
“……”
When Ying Mu's carriage drove past the drill ground, a series of loud shouts rang out.
Under the mountain cry, the echoes rolled and shook the entire world.
"Army formation, army momentum, army discipline, army spirit…they are indeed extraordinary!”
"With such an elite army, it's no wonder Great Qin was able to destroy the six countries and unify the world.”
Ying Mu sat in the bronze carriage, sighing in his heart.
The sound waves that came from the mountains and the sea shook the curtains, making Ying Mu feel confident about this trip to South Vietnam.
Even the six states could not resist such a large army.
Furthermore, the Yue people were lacking in weapons and armor.
Ying Mu walked out of the carriage and looked at the soldiers of the three armies on the square. An endless sense of pride rose in his heart.
"Your Highness, this way please!"
Li Xin saw Ying Mu get off the carriage and walked up to lead the way to the central army tent.
Ying Mu's personal guard commander, Zhao Ting, and the newly recruited Grade 3 general, Zhou Yan, followed closely behind and entered the tent together with the other generals of the Qin army.
"I didn't disturb you guys by suddenly coming over today, right?”
Ying Mu said with a smile. His tone was gentle, and he didn't put on the airs of a noble or a crown prince.
"The 50,000 soldiers of Yan County have been ordered to come here to assist Your Highness in conquering Yue Di. The entire army is under Your Highness 'command.”
Li Xin cupped his hands and said.
"General Li is too polite. I'm afraid I will have to rely on you for this trip to South Vietnam.”
After Ying Mu finished speaking, he bowed heavily towards the generals in the tent.
"Your Highness is too polite!"
"Your Highness, you don't have to do this!"
.........
Facing Ying Mu's thanks, Great Qin's Generals did not dare to accept it, and they all stopped him.
Of course, he saw that Ying Mu wasn't an arrogant, arrogant, and unreasonable person.
The generals in the tent heaved a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid of meeting people who didn't understand soldiers but insisted on pointing fingers and doing things their own way.
If that really happened…
It was likely that a show of 'one incompetent general exhausted the entire army' would really be put on.
After some pleasantries.
Ying Mu also went straight to the main topic and said,"Other than delivering saltpeter, insect repellent, and other supplies to the army, Mu has also come here to discuss with the Generals about the next operation in South Vietnam. I wonder if the Generals have any good suggestions?”
Any war was a major event.
Before taking action, they needed to have an accurate and clear strategic plan.
He wasn't the type to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to fight with others.
Now, although the First Emperor had promised Ying Mu 50,000 troops and provided them with food and fodder, they were still in the same state.
Ying Mu couldn't let these fifty thousand soldiers remain idle outside Yan County.
To him, this was undoubtedly a huge waste.
"May I ask, Your Highness, why is saltpeter used?”
When Li Xin heard the question, he didn't immediately answer Ying Mu's question. Instead, he asked with a puzzled expression.
He had heard before that the Fourth Young Master Ying Mu had submitted to the First Emperor the materials needed to attack South Yue, and there was saltpeter.
However, he couldn't figure out what saltpeter could be used for.
What surprised Li Xin the most was that…
Among the resources that Ying Mu had brought today, saltpeter accounted for almost half of them.
This made Li Xin even more curious.
Therefore, when he heard Ying Mu mention saltpeter, he immediately asked.
When Ying Mu heard Li Xin's question, he was slightly stunned. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and explained,
"General Li left Xianyang early, so he didn't know that not long ago, a magician discovered that when saltpeter is dissolved in water, it can turn water into ice to relieve heat. Mu then informed his father about this matter and asked him to collect a large amount of saltpeter and transport it over to use in the South Yue war.”
Ying Mu did not hesitate to push the matter of the saltpeter to the warlocks in Xianyang City.
After all, before this, there were already warlocks in Xianyang City who used this opportunity to swindle people.
Ying Mu pushed the blame to the warlocks.
They were definitely not wronged.
"After saltpeter is dissolved in water, it can turn water into ice?”
When Li Xin and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. They stood up and asked excitedly.
It was no wonder that Li Xin and the others were so excited.
Because if that was the case, the South Yue matter would be successful!
"This matter is absolutely true. How would Mu dare to hide it from General Li?”
Ying Mu could understand the excitement of Li Xin and the others.
After all, in this extremely hot July, if one didn't have the saltpeter ice making technique, they wouldn't even be able to wear armor.
Even Ying Mu, who had nothing to do in the rear, couldn't take it.
In order to make Li Xin and the other generals feel at ease, Ying Mu even ordered Zhou Yan to bring back some saltpeter and perform the saltpeter ice melting technique for everyone in the tent.
"Ice, it's really ice. The water has frozen.”
"Unbelievable, this is really unbelievable. Saltpeter can really turn water into ice?”
"Haha, with this ice melting technique, why should we be afraid of the scorching heat?”
"With this divine art, our 50,000 soldiers are enough to flatten the entire Baiyue.”
"Not bad, not bad. With this divine technique, what is a hundred Yue?"
“.........”
He looked at the people who were about to go crazy with joy surrounding a basin of ice water.
Ying Mu spoke again and gave them a piece of good news.
"Generals, this saltpeter can not only turn water into ice once, but it can also be used repeatedly.”
"We only need to use a piece of silk to wrap the saltpeter into a saltpeter pouch, then use the saltpeter pouch to melt the water into ice. After that, we can open the saltpeter pouch and expose it to the sun for half a day before we can use it again and melt the water into ice again.”
Saltpeter's true strength was its ability to be used repeatedly.
This also established the huge and irreplaceable position of saltpeter in the south.
This way, there was no need to worry about the saltpeter being consumed too quickly.
"This saltpeter is really a divine item!"
When Li Xin and the other generals heard this, they all looked at the saltpeter sack in the ice water with burning eyes.
This saltpeter was extremely valuable to the people of the south.
It was definitely a divine item.
In fact, one of the Generals of Great Qin saw the clear water in the basin start to freeze, and he couldn't help but take a sip.
However, his actions were quickly stopped by Ying Mu.
"General, please wait!"
"This clear water has not been boiled. If a person drinks it, it is very likely that they will suffer from masochism. This masochism is the main reason why northerners are not accustomed to the climate.”
"Therefore, Mu suggests that if you want to drink water, you must boil it first. Do not drink raw water.”
Ying Mu faintly explained.
This was common knowledge in the future.
In ancient times, it was a secret that most people did not know.
Of course, in order to allow Li Xin's 50,000 Qin soldiers to maintain their combat strength as much as possible in the following operations, they would not be disturbed by external factors.
Ying Mu continued," In addition, according to what I know, there are plants in the Southern Land called tortoise fungus and tea. They are boiled in boiling water. After drinking them, they can clear away heat and detoxify toxins, and help people overcome miasma and dampness.”
"At the same time, if you encounter a forest filled with miasma, you can also set it on fire.”
Ying Mu continued to talk, explaining all the methods he knew to remove the miasma.
Even on the way to Yan County, he recorded these on silk for easy reference.
Of course, this was also because of Ying Mu's meditation technique.
As he cultivated the meditation technique.
Although Ying Mu hadn't sensed the existence of the magnetic force of the world yet, nor had he condensed his divine soul, it wasn't as if he hadn't obtained any benefits.
The biggest benefit he gained from this cultivation was that as his spiritual power increased, he gradually recalled many of the knowledge and memories that he had forgotten in his previous life.
After all, he had gone through nine years of compulsory education in China, went to university, traveled all over the world, and read a lot of common sense.
Once he recalled all the knowledge and memories that he had forgotten in his previous life.
Ying Mu felt that he might be able to create cement, glass, soap, gunpowder, and so on based on his memories, just like the main characters in the online novels from his previous life.
Without relying on the system, he could make his territory enter the age of steel.
When Ying Mu gave Li Xin the "Southern life tips" that he had prepared earlier.
The Great Qin General was visibly moved.
He immediately promised," Please rest assured, Your Highness. With Your Highness's reminder and the existence of the saltpeter, turtle fungus, tea leaves, and other divine items, Li Xin guarantees that he will be able to destroy the Bai Yue within three years and turn the entire Bai Yue into a country under Your Highness.”
What was the greatest difficulty in conquering the Bai Yue?
It wasn't a battle of swords and swords on the battlefield, nor was it a siege.
Instead, it was the heat, the humidity, the miasma, the plague, the acclimatized environment, and so on.
And now, with Ying Mu's prior preparation and reminder, he was able to make a breakthrough.
These problems could no longer be an obstacle for the Qin army to attack the Bai Yue.
This way, it would be several times easier to attack the Hundred Yue than the Six Nations.
The difficulty had been reduced from Nightmare Mode to Easy Mode.
If they still couldn't destroy the Bai Yue within three years.
Li Xin felt that he could retire and return home to farm.
