Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 308 Returning to One and Pacifying Baiyue ([-])

The scenery of the Lijiang River is famous all over the world. It is known as "green mountains, beautiful waters, strange caves and beautiful rocks". It also has the advantages of "green islands, dangerous beaches, deep pools and flying waterfalls". , the rocks curb the flow, the waves echo back and forth, surrounded by lush trees, and emerald bamboos compete with each other.

There are thousands of peaks and ravines on both sides of the strait, with various shapes. The peaks are covered with downy shrubs, dotted with brilliant mountain flowers from time to time, and look hazy from a distance, just like the clothes on a girl's body.The embankment is full of phoenix bamboos, swaying in the wind, graceful and graceful, just like a girl's skirt, charming eyes.The mountain peak is reflected in the water, a bit hazy, a bit clear. A small boat passes by it, just like a boat sailing on the mountain.

A fishing boat sailed into the river from the shore. The fisherman threw the net into the water, and the fish came out with dazzling white scales. The fisherman was very happy and said, "That's a lot! Today's harvest is good. You can exchange two cups of wine. A red-tailed carp, with two mouthfuls, can sleep soundly."

"Old man, it's so early in the day, you just want to sleep, daydream." The fisherman's wife was very dissatisfied, and said: "You know how to drink, and you are almost drunk."

The fisherman was a little afraid of guilt, and he didn't dare to argue with his wife, so he hurriedly said, "This red-tailed carp is really big, weighing several catties, enough for us to eat for a few days."

"You just know how to eat and eat. If you want to sell it, how much will it cost?" The wife began to scold again, suddenly raised her voice an octave, and screamed in amazement, "Wow, there are so many! Old man, hurry up!" Look."

The fisherman didn't understand what his wife wanted him to see, so he said casually: "I see, but you don't ask, who caught this fish, my fish can be bad."

The wife explained: "I'm not talking about fish, I'm talking about boats. Look, there are a lot of boats coming and rowing towards us."

"Where?" The fisherman looked in the direction of his wife's finger, and saw a forest of boats. There were as many boats as bushes on the shore, and they were coming towards them. He asked in surprise, "Why are there so many boats? Where did they come from?" of?"

His wife couldn't answer this question either, and said, "I don't know. Old man, these boats are so big. They are much bigger than our fishing boats. Ten of our fishing boats are not as good as one of them."

"How come I haven't heard of such a big boat?" The fisherman patted his forehead in a daze, and said, "There are characters written on the sails, which seem to be from the Central Plains, not our Lingnan people. .”

The wife asked, "How do you know it's from the Central Plains?"

The fisherman explained: "When I was building the canal, I sold fish to the people of the Central Plains. Why did you forget? I have seen their characters. It must be the characters of the Central Plains people. What is the name of this character? Why did he recognize me? Don't recognize him."

This is a Qin character. Before Qin Shihuang unified the writing, all countries had their own writing. What the fisherman saw was the writing of the Chu State, not the writing of the Qin State. Of course he couldn't recognize it.

"Look if you still dare to brag, you'll be high before you drink." The wife sneered.

The fisherman argued: "It's not bragging, it's true."

The two were fighting, and saw that the boats were getting closer, and a general on the first boat was waving a flag at them. The fisherman understood what the general meant, and wanted them to come to shore quickly.Such a huge fleet passed by. If the fisherman did not dock, he would be in danger if he accidentally bumped into the battleship. The fisherman realized that he ran to the bow of the boat, took the oars, and rowed desperately to the shore.

When the fishing boat docked, the fisherman felt relieved and stood at the bow of the boat to watch the fleet pass by. He saw fully armed soldiers standing on the boat, with helmets on their armor and weapons in their hands. They shone coldly in the sun, eye-catching.

"It seems to be an army. It's an army from the Central Plains. How did they get here? Where are they going?" the fisherman muttered.

Fleets sailed past them one by one, without a head in front or a tail in the back, and it didn't end until the sunset and the west mountain. As night fell, the passing fleet was like a black dragon, rolling forward.

This is the way the King of Qin pacified the Lingnan army.This time to pacify Lingnan, Zhang Liang decided to divide his army into three routes. One route went south from Lingqu by boat through the waterway.

The sound of cars rumbling, horseshoes rushing, and the sound of footsteps merged into a unique song!

On the Lingnan Mountain Road, the advancing Qin army was advancing southward. On both sides of the mountain road were infantry, and in the middle were chariots and cavalry. After passing the mountain road, they officially entered Lingnan, and the battle to pacify Baiyue was about to begin.

The current mountain road is different from the mountain road a few days ago. The difference is that there are countless ruts, hoof prints, and footprints on the road. The army has passed for several days and has not yet finished.

There was a sound of hooves, and a group of knights appeared in front of the mountain. It was Zhang Liang, Zhou Chong, and Nei Shiten who arrived.When they came to the front, everyone reined in their horses, stopped, and looked at the mountain road and the soldiers going south for a while. Zhou Chong was full of emotion, and said: "Today, the soldiers go south from here to open up the land of Baiyue. In 100 years, 1000 Years later, how will future generations evaluate our actions today? Will they call us militaristic, or praise us for our contribution to the great cause of reunification?"

This is not a casual talk. Later generations have mixed opinions about Qin Shihuang's march into Lingnan.Zhou Chong became the promoter of this period of history, so he naturally wanted to care about the views of future generations.

"Of course it's a compliment. Our ancestors settled down in the land of Baiyue a long time ago, and it should have been unified long ago. It's just that there is no chance for the nations to unify. Now that the six kingdoms have been destroyed, what else can Baiyue do if we don't calm down Baiyue?" Stern was very optimistic, and said: "The person who scolded us must be blind and doesn't understand the situation."

Zhang Liang's views were different, and he said: "Which historical figure has no praise or criticism? King Zhou conquered the Huaihe River Basin, managed the southeast, and laid the foundation for our ancestors to advance to the south of the Yangtze River and then to the land of Baiyue, but because of his subjugation, These contributions have been obliterated. How future generations evaluate us is a matter for future generations. We can’t control it if we want to. Let them talk. What we have to do now is to win the battle of pacifying Baiyue Let future generations talk about us not to say that we made mistakes in pacifying Baiyue."

"Zifang's words are reasonable, and what she says is reasonable!" Zhou Chong agreed very much.

Zhang Liang clasped his fists together and said: "You two, just send it here, if you send it further, you will reach Lingnan."

Zhou Chong and Nei Shiteng clasped their fists in salute, and said, "Ovary take care! We are waiting for your good news."

"Farewell!" Zhang Liang rode his horse south and disappeared on the mountain road.

At the same time, the navy under the command of Suo Fang was sailing from north to south without the coastline. Countless large ships passed the sea, and it was so dark that the sun could not penetrate it.
