As the time enters October, the climate in the jungle gradually becomes cooler.
After the Yue region entered the dry season, the rainfall decreased greatly, making the road to Luoyue in the south much easier. Coupled with the good news that the Yue people were about to surrender, most of the 50,000 Qin troops maintained an optimistic mood.
Under the general's orders, they could only travel twenty miles a day, maintaining a certain combat effectiveness while rushing.
At this moment, five thousand soldiers under the command of Han Xin happened to be camping at a flat dam to rest.
"I'm finally going back soon. I have the title of doctor now. When I go back, I can be an official in the county. I don't know how happy I will be if I have several wives and concubines. Hehe, Lao Fan will definitely be shocked by that time.
Jump up and let him know that I, Liu Bang, am a man of great ability."
Liu Bang was talking and eating at the same time, and the rice in his mouth almost sprayed onto Peng Yue's face opposite him.
Just two months ago, the military commander Han Xin organized an elite force of 500 people, with the Duke Liu Yu as the 500 leader, and Liu Bang and Peng Yue were transferred into it as elite soldiers.
Liu Bang was one of the hundred generals, and Peng Yue was the commander of his army.
Liu Bang's rank was higher than that of Peng Yue, but he was a knight-errant and had a forthright temperament. He liked Peng Yue, and the two of them chatted well, so they became close to each other.
Hearing Liu Bang expressing his feelings there, Peng Yue had a look of envy on his face.
Lord Sir.
When Peng Yue was drafted into the army, he was different from those who were forced to go south. He came with great ambitions. From the beginning, he wanted to make a great contribution in the south, be promoted to a noble title, and be able to marry and honor his ancestors when he returned.
A wealthy woman becomes his wife.
Unexpectedly, when he met the general Tu Sui, he not only suffered defeat and death, but also caused the Qin army to suffer a heavy defeat. Peng Yue relied on his survival skills to save his life in Xiou, but he lost the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Fortunately, he met the Qin army led by Cao Shen later. He made some merits by virtue of his familiarity with Xiou's geographical environment and was awarded a title. Later, he was favored by Han Xin and participated in the Battle of Heituba under Han Xin's command.
Relying on his bravery in battle, Peng Yue killed several Ou people in a row, and with Liu Bang and Xiang Ji taking care of him, his title was raised to the fourth level.
But it is not just a knighthood. Although it is only one level lower than the fifth-level knighthood, the treatment is completely different.
A nobleman can be an official, but if he doesn't change his title, he can only be an official.
Officials and officials are completely different classes.
"It's a pity that Luo Yue surrendered and I lost the chance to make meritorious deeds."
Peng Yue couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he thought of this.
Why is it so difficult to cross class lines?
Liu Bang chuckled: "That's almost it. Although I didn't have a chance to make meritorious deeds, I managed to save my life. Why don't you go back and become a pavilion director or something? I think that position is very promising."
Peng Yue nodded with a wry smile. Liu Bang advised him to go back to his hometown and take the exam to become a pavilion chief. It was not impossible.
At this moment, a Qin soldier ran over quickly.
Liu Bang glanced at it and recognized that it was Xiang Ji's short soldiers, and couldn't help but murmured: "You Peng Yue envy me, you see I also envy Liu Yu. He is now a master of five hundred, and he has fifty short soldiers under him."
Already."
The short soldier looked in a hurry, and as soon as he stopped, he saluted Liu Bang and shouted: "General Liu Bai, the five hundred masters have sent the order. In a quarter of an hour, all the troops will be in formation, and the military commander will come to patrol the camp!"
"knew!"
Liu Bang responded, looking at the back of the soldier leaving, his heart suddenly moved.
He turned to look at Peng Yue and asked: "Ah Yue, do you feel that there is something wrong with our Five Hundred Lord?"
Peng Yue was startled.
Pictures flashed through his mind.
Outside Muxuan, there was a low roar.
Broken and bleeding fists.
Broken wooden frame.
And the letter paper submerged in feces and urine in the Muxuan Pit.
…
Xiang Ji is very happy now.
Just now, military commander Han Xin called together all his mid-level generals, including the 200-500 Lords, and 500 Lords, and held a military meeting in front of the patrol camp.
The content of this meeting was mainly to convey instructions from General Zhao Tuo.
The Luo Yue people are cunning and brutal. This surrender may be a fraud. All units of the Qin army need to prepare in advance to prevent any eventuality.
At the same time, the 5,000-man army led by Han Xin was also entrusted with important tasks by the general.
"General Fan will lead his troops to accept the surrender of the Luo Yue people. If everything goes well, then everything will be fine. If the situation changes and the Luo Yue people suddenly launch an attack, it will be the time for our army to make a contribution."
"Our army is located on the right wing of the army. Once we see the front army sending a signal with cloud-piercing arrows, we will immediately penetrate the rear of Luo Yue's army and attack it. If we can capture and kill the opponent's leader, it will be a great achievement! As for us
Don't worry about our rear, Captain Cao will stabilize the front."
With an excited voice, Han Xin explained the detailed plan to his subordinates one by one.
Because this matter was of great importance, he had to ensure that every team of 500 people knew exactly what tasks they were doing and would not make mistakes in emergencies.
"It seems that Han Xin listened to my advice, and then told Zhao Tuo what I said, which was adopted by Zhao Tuo, and then made this precautionary plan. Then, Zhao Tuo also has to listen to me.
What did you say?"
Xiang Ji was secretly happy. After all, he was only in his early twenties. With his youthful spirit, he naturally felt that he was very powerful.
And his other prediction was also right.
Zhao Tuo gave Han Xin an important meritorious task.
"Han Xin really relies on connections to achieve meritorious service. Otherwise, why didn't Zhao Tuo give the task of capturing the leader of the Yue people to other generals, but let Han Xin do it? Doesn't this show his favoritism? But that's okay.
, Han Xin takes on this task, and only then can I, Xiang Ji, have the opportunity to make great contributions."
Xiang Ji whispered in his heart, he was already full of energy, he just hoped that the Luo Yue people would not let him down, and they would have to pretend to surrender.
When the Qin army was only a short distance away from the Luoyue King's City, all the Qin soldiers were basically conveyed the order to be careful of the Luoyue people's false surrender. The original cheerful atmosphere disappeared, and there was a murderous air in the army's steps.
.
The Qin army is well prepared.
The Luo Yue people's envoys entered the army again, and made an agreement with Zhao Tuo that tomorrow morning King Luo would command the Luo Yue nobles, and carry the corpses of A Tu Gu and others to surrender to the Qin general.
"Be careful that the Luo Yue people will attack at night. This is a trick they use well."
Zhao Tuo thought of what happened when Yu Yue and Yue Wang Wuyou traded Xiong Qi.
The Qin army was on guard when setting up camp that night. There were bonfires going on at night, and Qin soldiers were patrolling everywhere.
The Luo Yue people did not make a sneak attack, and no Luo Yue people were even found near the Qin army's camp, which relaxed some people's nerves that had been tense all night.
Zhao Tuo, the general, did not let down his guard at all. He knew that today's surrender ceremony was the key.
"I don't want to make the same mistake as Brother Li."
"It's been thirty-six years now, and I want to go back as soon as possible."
Zhao Tuo whispered softly and couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Guanzhong.
If he remembered correctly, Qin Shihuang died in the thirty-seventh year of history, right?
All plans have been made, and there is only more than a year left.
Regardless of whether the history of this world has been changed by him or not, Zhao Tuo must pay attention to this special time, and it is best to stay by the emperor's side.
