Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 349 A strong man serves the country, his duty! (seeking subscription)

Yang Wengzi was startled.

He thought about it carefully, and said uncertainly: "I don't know exactly how many people are infected, but I came back from Bushan County in Guilin County. Guilin County is one of the three counties established by the imperial court in Lingnan. Apart from Nanhai County, the county that is closest to the Baiyue tribe."

"Even I was infected with malaria, I'm afraid there will be many infected people in the army."

"even."

Yang Wengzi hesitated for a moment, then wondered: "If the plague came from Nanhai County or the Baiyue tribe, I'm afraid the situation in the frontier Nanhai County will be even worse, but Mr. Qin asked why?"

Qin Luoheng's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Is there any plague outbreak in the Baiyue tribe?"

Yang Wengzi said: "There should be, but the Baiyue tribe has a small number of people, and their leaders have always been ruthless. Once they find someone infected with a disease, they will kill them on the spot. If it's just malaria, it won't affect them too much. "

Qin Luoheng said: "Now the plague has broken out in the three counties in Lingnan, and most of the people stationed in Lingnan are imperial soldiers, and almost no one has migrated there. Does this mean that this plague will directly lead to a significant reduction in the combat power of the army? ?”

"also."

"Although I asked the imperial court to expedite the delivery of prescriptions, after the treatment, the soldiers will inevitably have some health problems. That is to say, most of the soldiers in the three Lingnan counties are still in a resting state. If there are many infected soldiers, I'm worried that something will happen to Lingnan!"

Yang Duanhe said:

"It shouldn't be."

"The plague just broke out in Lingnan. The imperial court knew about it, but how could the tribes in Lingnan not know? Since ancient times, if a plague broke out in a place, there would be an embarrassing situation where no one entered the place for several years. How dare the Baiyue tribe take the risk? This risk?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head.

Said:

"I do not think so."

"According to common sense, when a plague broke out in Lingnan, the Baiyue tribe must have avoided it, but now the plague has been brought under control, and the Baiyue tribe is acting ruthlessly, with a small number of people, and malaria is not that kind of severe plague. , as long as the shot is decisive, it may not be a big loss."

"If the plague is not under control, the Baiyue tribe will naturally not dare to invade, but if the news that the imperial court can cure malaria spreads, can the Baiyue tribe still stand still? Right now, our Great Qin warriors are in the recuperation stage, and their combat power is greatly damaged. If If the Baiyue tribe raises their troops to attack, they may catch our army by surprise."

"after all."

"Even General Yang thinks that the Baiyue tribe will not invade, let alone those guarding soldiers? If the guarding generals are careless and do not strengthen their defenses, they may even be weakened by the plague. In this case, Baiyue Once the tribe invades, the Qin army may suffer heavy losses."

Yang Wengzi's expression changed.

The faces of the others also changed when they heard the words.

They understood what Qin Luoheng was saying.

They still have an inertial thinking about the plague, thinking that the plague broke out in Lingnan, so the Baiyue tribe did not dare to invade, but if the Baiyue tribe knew that the Lingnan plague was under control, they might not really dare to send troops.

Because the plague came suddenly and violently, the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty were naturally panicked. Coupled with the common sense of the plague in the past, they might really relax their vigilance. In addition, many soldiers were infected with the disease, and there was bound to be a sense of panic in the barracks.

If it is at this time, Baiyue will send troops.

Everyone's face changed greatly.

They no longer dared to think about that scene.

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Wengzi's forehead, and he said anxiously: "Based on what I know about Jie Jun, the new leader of Baiyue, this person is a lunatic, so he may not be able to do this."

"no!"

"I want to write a letter to the county captain and remind him to be more prepared. If something happens in Lingnan, it will definitely cause a series of changes in the world. I am afraid that the six places in Shandong will be in turmoil. I, Yang Wengzi, have already made a big mistake. How can I do it again? Wrong again?!"

Done.

Yang Wengzi went to the study without looking back.

The military situation is a matter of great urgency, and there must be no delay.

Others dare not stop them.

at this time.

Yang Duanhe, Hua Ji and the others looked at Qin Luoheng with a sudden change of gaze. In the past, they always looked at Qin Luoheng with the look of ten sons, but at this moment, they suddenly discovered that Qin Luoheng's talent is even Whether it is ten sons or not, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace is really commendable.

Gan Luo said: "Can the Baiyue tribe gather an army to attack now? I remember that when they conquered Baiyue last time, the leader of Baiyue, Yiyu Song, was beheaded, and most of the Baiyue tribe's army was also beheaded at that time. Can we really raise our troops to counterattack?"

Gan Luo had some doubts.

Yang Duanhe retorted directly:

"No!"

"Yang Wengzi is not worried about the Baiyue tribe sending troops, but is worried that the army will not notice for a while, and lose to the Xiou army led by Jie Jun. Right now, the morale of Daqin is low. If there is a defeat, it is inevitable that the army's morale will be shaken. When people are panicked, it is easy to erupt in the army."

"At that time, the casualties will undoubtedly be extremely tragic!"

"The morale of the army cannot be shaken."

"The Lingnan army has already left their hometown. Most of them have been in Lingnan for several years. They are uncomfortable with the environment in Lingnan and have deep homesickness. Now they are facing the plague. If they still face a big defeat, they will probably lose control of their emotions under the double bad news. At that time, Lingnan was really in danger."

"Yang Wengzi's worries are not unreasonable."

"Furthermore."

"There is no small matter in the army."

"How can the leading general lose the big because of the small?"

Gan Luo nodded.

Qin Luoheng also nodded slightly.

What Yang Duanhe said was exactly what he was worried about.

The Lingnan garrison and the Baiyue Xiou army have always had victories and losses, but the current situation is different from the past. Lingnan has just encountered a plague, and morale has not yet recovered. The love will become stronger, and the heart of returning home may not be suppressed.

When.

The panic may be out of control.

Once something happens in Lingnan, it will bring about a chain reaction. Although the nobles of the six countries and hundreds of schools are still being chased and intercepted by the government, many people have successfully escaped. Start to make trouble.

Then Daqin is really in chaos!
This was something Qin Luoheng never wanted to see.

soon.

Yang Wengzi wrote the letter and passed it on.

He walked back to the lobby, worry and nervousness in his eyes.

He said slowly: "I have already written to Liu Yi, the county captain of Guilin County. By the way, I asked him to inform the county captains of Nanhai County and Xiang County about this matter, and let them take precautions. I just hope that the Baiyue tribe will not notice this. Fighters, otherwise something big will happen to Lingnan."

Qin Luoheng raised his forehead slightly and said, "Dare to ask General Yang, how are the soldiers in Lingnan doing?"

Yang Wengzi showed hesitation, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "The situation of the soldiers is not optimistic, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried. Sergeant Wu has been to Lingnan for too long, and the homesickness has become more and more widespread. Some soldiers have fled the camp."

"The current Lingnan soldiers almost all have sadness on their faces."

"The environment in Lingnan is too harsh. When we first arrived in Lingnan, the tribes here didn't even know how to make tiles or cut trees. They just lived on fishing and hunting, and our soldiers were very uncomfortable going there. .”

"It wasn't long before the soldiers who were originally strong and strong, all of them were tanned and even peeled off. Their eye sockets were frighteningly large, their cheekbones were surprisingly high, and their mouths were frighteningly large. They could hardly see the stocky old Qin people. Strong."

"Because of the hot weather over there, all the soldiers behind took off their leather armor and iron armor, and even their combat boots. Everyone wrapped their upper body with a collar of black cloth, with a hakama parted aside, and their lower body wore a pair of long and short ankle boots. The narrow muslin trousers, because they walked barefoot, so the soles of the feet were black and hard as iron."

"The current Qin army elite soldiers have completely lost the intimidating power and toughness of the Qin army elite soldiers in the past. The barren refugees who are completely struggling to make a living are really miserable."

Speaking of which.

Yang Wengzi felt sour in his heart.

He had been a general in Lingnan for a long time, and he had witnessed the changes in soldiers, so he was deeply touched by it.

Everyone present was silent.

How do they not know the hardships in Lingnan?
Just hearing what Yang Wengzi said, I can't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. The soldiers in Lingnan still have the slightest appearance of civilization, and they are almost no different from those barbarians in Lingnan.

Qin Luoheng also remained silent.

He actually heard some overtones.

The soldiers in Lingnan had no sense of belonging to Lingnan, and they didn't know the imperial court's intention to conquer Lingnan, because in the eyes of the world, Lingnan was an uncivilized place, and it was not worth the court's troubles at all.

At that time, Chu State signed a covenant with the Baiyue tribe. Although the two had a certain affiliation, they were not close. It seems that the gains outweigh the losses.

They all thought that they should follow the example of Chu State and sign an alliance with the Baiyue tribe.

but.
Qin Luoheng disagreed.

The aborigines in the South China Sea have no written language and no written laws. They live a life of fishing and hunting with wood, stone, and slash-and-burn farming. They respect wizards, almost like the barbaric tribes in ancient times, but they are after all outside the Great Qin culture.

Cultural differences are bound to cause disputes.

As the conflict between the two deepens, the hatred between the two sides will only intensify. It's just that the Baiyue tribe has not yet developed yet. At that time, southern Xinjiang will eventually suffer from China.

Daqin is just suppressing hidden dangers ahead of time!
It would cost a lot to expand the territory, and this matter is a sin in the present and a benefit in the future. How can we only care about the immediate gains and losses?

It was impossible for him to speak out against it.

Qin Luoheng said:

"It is the duty of a strong man to serve the country, what can we do?"

"The current environment in Lingnan is indeed difficult, but it can't be changed. Throughout the ages, there have been many poor mountains and rivers, but now the six places in Guanzhong and Shandong have become livable places. It is not easy to expand the territory. Bloodshed and sacrifice are naturally inevitable. .”

"but."

"Soldiers' homesickness is indeed a problem."

"I will go to the imperial court to solve it."

"In addition, Daqin has set up three counties in Lingnan for three or four years, but the status quo in Lingnan has never been improved. This time, the plague broke out, which is enough to show that the governance of Lingnan in the past few years has not been effective. "

"Lingnan has made some changes!"
