The Royal City of Minyue is located on the bank of the Min River, not far from the outlet. The Qin Army's fleet can sail directly to the dock near the Royal City.
Such geographical conditions are very favorable for the expeditionary Qin army.
The Qin army could supply supplies through large ships and naval vessels traveling at sea, which was much easier in terms of speed and cost than transporting them by land.
Therefore, although the Minyue Royal City was burned down by the Nanyue people, Zhao Tuo still took a fancy to this place.
He ordered people to demolish the ruins of the original royal city and rebuild a city belonging to the Qin people on the original site.
Such a move actually contains a political meaning.
The Minyue Kingdom ruled by the Zu family has become a thing of the past. From then on, this land was only owned by "Qin".
At this time, Zhao Tuo had to thank A Tu Gu again.
If he hadn't killed the Minyue King Wuzhu and burned the royal city into ruins with his ferocity, it would have been difficult for the Qin army to demolish the place and rebuild the city under the banner of appeasement.
The South Vietnamese helped the Qin army to do all the dirty and difficult things. After all, he was really the invisible ally of the Qin army.
Now outside the ruins of the royal city, Qin soldiers are busy cutting down trees and transporting soil to build a fortress city here with the ability of a large country.
In a camp near the river, Liu Bang looked at the workers in the distance with a sad face.
He does not need to participate in the hard work of building a city, and does not need to dig earth and move rocks back and forth in the woods.
Because Liu Bang got a more important and fatal mission.
"Damn it, how come Nai Gong was enlisted in this so-called field war? Nai Gong just wants to go back alive and doesn't want to go to the woods and fight to the death with those South Vietnamese."
Liu Bang felt bitter in his mouth when he thought about where he was going next.
After conquering the land of Fujian and Yue, General Zhao Tuo issued a military order and ordered the fifth doctor Cao Shen and the chief minister Han Xin to form a special force and named it Field Song.
Since it is Qu, the quota for this army is five thousand.
It is different from other teams that will be repairing and building cities in Fujian and Yue, and will be sent to garrison at various important roads.
This Qin army field song will go to the vicinity of South Vietnam alone to carry out corresponding military tasks.
With such a special mission, the composition of this field song is different from that of an ordinary team.
There are a thousand people in the field song, who are Minyue warriors contributed by various Minyue tribes.
All of them are strong and strong, and they are all good at fighting in the mountains and jungles. Many of them have fought against the South Vietnamese, and some have even entered the territory of South Vietnam and are familiar with the local geographical environment.
These thousand Minyue people were the guides of field battles and instructors of jungle warfare, and they were also Zhao Tuo's support for daring to send special troops to South Vietnam.
He wanted to use these Minyue people to train an elite jungle warfare force dedicated to the Qin army.
In order to ensure the sincere loyalty of these Minyue people, Zhao Tuo not only sent people to preach the hatred between South Vietnam and Minyue to them and brainwash them, but also continued the previous reward policy.
When the Minyue people kill the Nanyue people, they will not get a title upgrade, but they will be rewarded with corresponding cloth, food, drinks and various Qin items.
There is mental brainwashing, a large amount of material rewards, and the tribe and family are all under the control of the Qin army.
These Minyue people had no objection to fighting for the Qin army, and some were even gearing up, secretly thinking that they must kill more South Vietnamese in order to exchange good things from the Qin people.
Everything is about benefits that move people's hearts.
Field War Song In addition to these thousand Minyue people who are good at jungle warfare, the remaining four thousand Qin soldiers were not recruited at will, but elite soldiers were selected from each army.
Liu Bang.
As one of the pioneers of the Qin army, he used his keen insight to discover the Vietnamese ambush in advance when the Qin army moved south in Dongou. After that, he strictly guarded the battle formation and fought bloody battles with the Vietnamese, and received the support of friendly forces.
.
In that battle, he was promoted to the second level of knighthood.
In addition, Liu Bang usually has a bold personality and likes to brag and joke with others. In the hundred schools to which he belongs, his reputation is far and wide, and he is very eye-catching.
This time, Field Song recruited elite soldiers, and he was reported as an outstanding scout by the Hundred Generals.
"If I had known this, I, Old Liu, should have kept a lower profile."
Liu Bang wanted to cry but had no tears.
When he first participated in the Southern Expedition, he was still full of heroic spirit. He once thought about being promoted to a noble rank through meritorious service, sneaking into the ranks of Qin officials, and gaining wealth.
But when Liu Bang actually entered Yue, his lofty ideals were wiped out by the murderous intentions everywhere in the jungle.
Poisonous snakes that can kill people with just one bite, as well as those Yue people who appear and disappear in the forest, made him feel frightened and felt that his own life was more important.
Who would have thought that he would be recommended to the field song as an elite due to his outstanding performance in the past.
Liu Bang smiled bitterly and said: "Well, this time I don't ask for meritorious service or promotion, I just want to be able to return to the Chu land alive. Anyone who wants this kind of military merit and title can just take his own life in exchange for it."
…
"I want military glory!"
In another tent, Xiang Ji's eyes were bright and he was pacing back and forth in the tent excitedly.
Not far away, the crowd looked at the young man in awe.
Zhang San sighed: "With your ability, Liu Yu, you will be able to make greater contributions if you are recruited into the field song. The next time we hear your name, I am afraid you will have become a doctor."
doctor?
Xiang Ji turned around and showed a smile to the robes, his eyes full of mockery.
Is my goal of Xiang Ji just a doctor?
No!
Official officials, public officials, public officials, five officials...
He must have all his titles!
Until Zhao Tuo hears his name, until he can see Zhao Tuo in person, then he can kill him on the spot.
Xiang Ji was very confident in his magical power. He felt that as long as he was given the opportunity to get close to Zhao Tuo, he could crush Zhao Tuo's neck in an instant and avenge his Xiang clan.
"Old thief Zhao Tuo, you defeated my father and ancestors and killed my Xiang clan. I, Xiang Ji, will fight you until death. I swear to kill you in this life!"
Xiang Ji recited his ultimate goal in his mind again to eliminate the slightest uneasiness caused by him working his life to kill the enemy for the Qin people.
Attack Baiyue for the Qin people.
He was promoted to a noble rank for his meritorious service in the Qin army.
All this was to prepare for the eventual killing of Zhao Tuo, not Xiang Ji's true wish.
What kind of military honors and titles are not rare for him?
After some self-psychological counseling, the blood in Xiang Ji's body began to boil again.
"This time, I, Xiang Ji, want to make meritorious service and be promoted!"
Due to time constraints, in late December, this special force, named Field Song by the general, was mobilized and headed for South Vietnam.
The Qin flag is flying, and the black armor is thick.
In this team of 5,000 people.
There are the general Cao Shen, the chief historian Han Xin, the scout Liu Bang, and the sharp soldier Xiang Ji.
…
March of the thirty-third year of Qin Shihuang.
At the time when Zhao Tuo was carrying out pacification measures in the Fujian and Yue areas and building fortifications on the main roads.
The envoys who set out from the land of Fujian and Yue and traveled thousands of miles finally arrived in Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
He brought the first important news of the Conquest of Vietnam to the supreme emperor of the empire.
