Chapter 73: Monarchs and ministers agree on a plan to raid Dongye
Chapter 73 The monarch and his ministers agreed on a plan to raid Dongye
After the battle against the Nongsi clan, Han Chuan ignored Huang Guo and Cen Jue and led the Yinglong army directly back to Fusu. This battle had severely damaged the Nongsi clan and also defeated the Yinglong army. Even without the Qin army, I believe Huang Guo and Cen Jue can suppress Nong Si and clean up the mess.
After returning to the camp, Han Chuan did not go back to his sleeping tent, but went directly to the Chinese army tent to report to Fusu the detailed battle situation of Nong Si's troops.
When Fusu heard about the casualties of more than 800 Yinglong soldiers, he felt heartbroken. These Yinglong soldiers were elites selected from the army. There were only 3,000 people in total. After this battle, three people were injured. One part, which made Fusu uncomfortable for a while.
"Han Chuan, the battle in Minzhong County cannot continue like this. We, the Qin Dynasty, can no longer waste time in this land of South Vietnam, nor can we advance one city at a time. I intend to send a powerful force to attack the east. "Ye, what do you think of killing the South Vietnamese King Zhao Tuo and ending the war in South Vietnam?" Fusu looked at Han Chuan and asked.
"Young Master, I think your plan is very good, but the King of Nanyue still has many elite soldiers and generals, and I don't know how to deal with it. I think the key to directly attack Dongye is to contain these South Vietnamese soldiers. As long as these people are contained, The plan to directly attack Dongye can be accomplished in an instant."
After Han Chuan thought for a moment, he told Fusu his opinion on the direct attack on South Vietnam.
"If you were to lead the Hu Ben Army and Ying Long Army to attack Dongye, how certain do you think you would be able to break through Dongye City and kill Zhao Tuo, the King of South Vietnam?"
"Sir, if I can contain the main force of the South Vietnamese Army, I have a 90% chance of winning. If I can't contain the main force of the South Vietnamese Army, my chance of winning may be less than 10%." Han Chuan told Fu Su truthfully.
"Han Chuan, if I lead an army of 120,000 people to move towards Dongye, do you think Zhao Tuo will send the elite South Vietnamese army to besiege me?"
"Sir, including the newly recruited soldiers, Zhao Tuo has no less than 200,000 soldiers. If you lead the army deep into Dongye, you may attract more than 200,000 South Vietnamese troops. Once surrounded by the South Vietnamese troops, your situation will be different, Mr. But it’s dangerous. I think it’s better for you not to put yourself in danger, just send a brave general to lead an army to pretend to attack Dongye.”
"Han Chuan, if I lead the army, Zhao Tuo will definitely send most of his elite troops. After all, Zhao Tuo will not be tempted by a bait like Mr. Da Qin?" Fusu patiently analyzed Han Chuan's reasons for leading the army.
"Sir, I understand what you mean by these humble positions. It's just that I don't dare to let you lead the army deep into dangerous areas. Once a crisis occurs, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Han Chuan, I know you are worried about my safety, but there are some things I have to do. Now my army has been delayed in South Vietnam for a year. I can't waste any more time. I intend to end this war in South Vietnam as soon as possible. Fight and return to Xianyang as soon as possible, so this time I will personally lead the army to Dongye to attract the main force of the South Vietnamese Army. I have made up my mind and will not make any changes." Fusu said to Han Chuan with a look of determination.
Seeing that Fusu had made up his mind, Han Chuan frowned. After thinking for a while, he reluctantly spoke again and said: "Master, please think twice!".
"I've made up my mind. I won't discuss this matter anymore. Let's talk about how you should sneak attack Dongye."
Fusu did not give Han Chuan another chance to discuss, but changed the topic to the sneak attack on Dongye.
Han Chuan knew that he could no longer persuade Fusu, so he could only put on a posture of hesitating to speak and looked at Fusu angrily.
Fusu looked at Han Chuan and shook his head with a wry smile, and decided to try to persuade him.
"My General Han Chuan, I know you are worried about my safety. Isn't it you? As long as you can kill Zhao Tuo, my crisis will be solved, so don't worry about my safety.
Isn’t it in your hands? If you still worry, it means you don’t believe in yourself.”
"well!"
Han Chuan was almost speechless because of Fusu's sophistry. He could only shake his head and look at Fusu resentfully, and sighed helplessly. How does this look like Mr. Da Qin? He is clearly a scoundrel?
"Young master, I know I can't defeat you, but you have to agree to a condition. Otherwise, even if I resist the imperial edict, I won't let you lead the army to Dongye to lure the enemy."
"Tell me, what are the conditions?" Fusu asked.
"I want to leave three hundred Yinglong troops with you. Only with them here can I go to Dongye with peace of mind."
"Okay, I agree to your request, but I also have a condition that you must agree to." Fusu took the opportunity to put forward his own conditions.
"Master, please explain." Han Chuansheng looked at Fusu helplessly and said.
"This time you attack Dongye and take Zhao Shi with you."
"Take Zhao Shi with you?" Han Chuan looked at Fusu with big eyes and doubt, trying to see some clues from Fusu's eyes.
"Just tell me whether to take it or not?"
"Sir, you can bring Zhao Shi with me if you want me to. I just want to know the reason because of my humble position. Isn't this request too much?"
"Since you want to know, I won't hide it from you. I want Zhao Tuo to die in Zhao Shi's hands." Fusu said to Han Chuan with a firm look on his face.
Seeing the confusion in Han Chuan's eyes, Fusu spoke again.
"Zhao Tuo is different from the Xiang family in Jiangdong. He was originally the general of our Great Qin's southern expedition to Baiyue. He was a person who received the favor of our Great Qin. But it was this man who, taking advantage of the new mourning of the First Emperor, cut off the four counties of South Vietnam to establish himself.
, which caused the world that our ancestors of the Qin Dynasty worked hard to unite to fall into division again. I will never let such an unfaithful and unjust person die too easily. I will let him die in the hands of my own son to warn the people of the world.
Anyone who attempts to split the country will never end well."
After listening to Fusu's explanation, Han Chuan no longer had any objections to Fusu's arrangement for him to take Zhao Shi to attack Dongye.
…
The next day, Han Chuan led 50,000 Hu Ben troops and 1,900 Ying Long troops to leave the camp and headed toward Dongye along the trail.
Just two hours after Han Chuan left, Fusu ordered the army to break up camp and 120,000 troops marched along the road towards Dongye.
A few days later, the South Vietnamese cavalry general Fusu's 120,000-strong army reported the traces of Fusu's army to Zhao Tuo. At this time, Fusu's army had already moved away from the Wuyi Mountain base camp and broke through the two-layer defense line of the South Vietnamese army on the west side of Minzhong County.
, came to the hinterland of Minzhong County, which is less than 500 miles away from Dongye.
On the east side of Minzhong County, facing the sea, a city stands between the green mountains and the sea. Several towering peaks hide the city among the sea of clouds and peaks. This is Dongye, the seat of Minzhong County, and the royal palace of Zhao Tuo
Right in the center of Dongye City.
A scout from the front line was reporting to Zhao Tuo on the movements of Fusu's army.
"What are you talking about? Fusu personally led an army to come to me, Dongye?" Zhao Tuo asked, looking at Tanqi with an attitude of disbelief.
"Your Majesty, it is Fusu who is correct. I have seen Fusu's banner with my own eyes." Tan Qi opened his mouth to report.
"Then have you ever seen Fusu himself?"
"Your Majesty, the distance is too far and I have never seen you."
After listening to what Tan Qi said, Zhao Tuo said nothing more, but frowned slightly and started thinking.
After a while, Zhao Tuo spoke.
"You go back and investigate again. This time you must find out whether Fusu is in the army and report to me in three days. If you can't find out again, you don't need to come to see me again. You can go to Tingwei to receive the sentence yourself."
After receiving the order, "Nuo" Tanqi left the political hall in panic.
…
Three days later, the detective returned to the political hall again and reported to Zhao Tuo the news that Fusu was indeed in the army.
After hearing what Tan Qi said, Zhao Tuo lowered his head and weighed it up. After a moment, a ruthless look flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes, and he already had a plan in his heart.
