Chapter 446 Han Xin's Mission
Hu Hai's letter was naturally given by Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng had actually arrived at the territory of Xiang County and observed Hu Hai for a while before he took the big man around him to the barren land south of Xiang County.
For the Qin Dynasty, Xiangjun and Guilinjun are already remote and cannot be remote. There were almost no footprints of the Central Plains people before, let alone the land south of Xiangjun. It was really a waste of the Central Plains people who didn’t want.
However, such a dense forest and thorny place was like heaven in the eyes of some Nanyue people who were driven out of Xiangjun and Guilin by Fusu.
The entire tribe no longer exists at this time. Almost all of them are hidden in such a territory, with a small group of more than a dozen people. Because they were really scared by the strong strength of the Qin soldiers of Nanhai County, they were afraid that they would make a big noise in such a place, and in the end there would be no such place to settle down.
But in the hearts of these Nanyue people, in addition to fear, the most hatred towards the Qin people was.
They are different from the Huns. Although they originally occupied the vast land of Nanhai County, Guilin and Xiang County, the Lingnan County, they had no intention of going north to attack the territory of Daqin. They just wanted to defend this land that has been in their own hands for generations.
But under the iron cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, their land has become three counties of the Qin Dynasty for only a few years.
Although they couldn't swallow this tone, the strength of the Qin Dynasty was at its peak was still there, which made them have to keep their hatred in their hearts.
However, Zhao Cheng arrived and changed the minds of some people. After Zhao Cheng arrived in this barren land, he first found a leader of the Nanyue tribe who was defeated by Fusu from Xiangjun, and showed that the leader that the Qin Dynasty was not as powerful as it seems. On the appearance of the powerful, it is actually just a situation where the outside is strong and the middle is in action.
Now there is a chance that a young master of Daqin, who is well-off, has fallen into the place of the three counties of Lingnan and wants to divide it with Daqin. If the surviving Nanyue people can follow him in time, then when the matter is done, they will definitely have a stable place for the three counties of Lingnan.
Although Zhao Cheng did not say who the young master was, and even though he did not say what their plan was, as a well-educated Central Plains man, he was surrounded by a guard who was almost invincible among these Lingnan people. The leader of the tribe in Lingnan could not help but believe it.
Under Zhao Cheng's instruction, he secretly summoned the people from his original tribe in this barren land and set up a stronghold. In less than a month, there were two or three hundred people away from this stronghold.
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Cheng sent a letter to Hu Hai.
After waiting for more than ten days, Hu Hai did not send him a reply letter as he expected, which surprised Zhao Cheng a little.
"Young Master, why not visit the Xiang County and meet Hu Hai again. Since he had received our letters before, there was no reason to ignore us at this time. Otherwise, we would tell the people in Xianyang Palace about this matter and see how he could be the governor of this county?"
The man who delivered the letter was as always the big man around Zhao Cheng. He was a little angry at Hu Hai's situation of being so cheap and beinghaved.
In his opinion, if Zhao Cheng and himself hadn't had the fierce operation in Xianyang City, would Hu Hai be as good as a tiger? If Hu Hai was grateful to them, instead of being like now, he would have been a little bit floating after just achieving a little bit of results.
"No, my brother had said before that, although this young master Hu Hai was a little greedy for fun, he was still very smart inside. Of course, he could understand the intention of ours. Since he received our letters in Xianyang City, it proved that he still agreed with the opposition to the rule of the Emperor of Qin. It was just the time for us to do so. We just need to rectify our people here, and don't leak the news. Sooner or later, he will take the initiative to look for us to wait..."
Zhao Cheng stopped the big man's thoughts and said with a deep look...
With the help of Liu Wei, a good neighbor of Daqin, Hu Hai quickly learned how to resettle immigrants, how to plan the county town of Linchen County where the county seat is located, and how to allocate land to those who have recently immigrated to Xiang County. After several months of busy work, although the development of Xiang County is a little worse than that of Guilin County, it is still on the right path.
On this day, Hu Hai was carefully checking whether some houses were built in accordance with his requirements. Suddenly, one of his guards came to him and dismounted and reported directly: "Young Master, Xianyang Palace sent General Han Xin here to investigate the guards of Xiang County and several adjacent counties. I am afraid that it will arrive in another one or two hours."
"Han Xin? Why did he come here? Did the Lord notice something?"
Hu Hai really knew what Han Xin was in the Qin Dynasty, or what kind of confidant he was in front of Ying Gao, so at this moment, his heartbeat still accelerated a lot.
Rang did not rush back to the mansion to wait for Han Xin's arrival, but stood silently, thinking about all his actions from the time he came here in Xianyang City. Finally, he found that there was nothing he could doubt. Then he felt relieved and thought to himself that this might be the so-called guilty thief? Then he walked towards his mansion step by step.
Two hours later, Han Xin led a team of people and rode their horses and whipped them directly to Linchen County, but saw that outside a fairly complete mansion in the county, there was a team of people waiting for the battle.
One of them was wearing the official uniform of the Qin Dynasty, but his face was young. Isn’t it Hu Hai?
But at this time, in Han Xin's eyes, Hu Hai was not his wife's younger brother or the prince of Daqin, but the county magistrate of Xiang County who was in trouble. Therefore, whether it was his official position or this task, Hu Hai had to respect Han Xin.
"Hu Hai had heard that the general was about to arrive here, and was taking the officials of our Xiang County to wait here, and he also invited the general to come in and talk."
Facing the most beloved general of the Emperor of Qin, Hu Hai, his sister Yangzi's husband, could be said to have given Han Xin enough face. Han Xin was not vague and pointed directly into the house, indicating that Hu Hai was indeed coming with the emperor's general.
After entering this temporary county temple in Linchen County, Han Xin did not waste time, but emphasized Ying Gao's defenses in each county without saying a word. Especially places like Xiang County, which are close to the sea and next to the barren land, are Ying Gao's focus.
Because the officials in Xiang County were not very complete, for example, the position of county magistrate was not equipped yet. Han Xin waved his hand and an official, who was not very old, walked out from behind him.
"According to the appointment of the emperor before, this person will be the county magistrate of Xiang County from today, responsible for the invasion of the bandits in Xiang County and the border. After I arrive in Nanhai County, I will transfer 40,000 people from the garrison of Nanhai County, 20,000 will be controlled by Guilin County, and the other 20,000 will be controlled by Xiang County. These 20,000 soldiers will be stationed on the edge of the barren land on weekdays just in case!"
When Hu Hai heard the news, although there was no change in expression on his face, there was a lot of turmoil in his heart.
This county lieutenant was obviously Han Xin's confidant, and he recruited 20,000 defenders from Nanhai County. This obviously divided the power in his hands. The county lieutenant was not his confidant, which was undoubtedly very fatal to what he wanted to do in the end, but at this time, he obviously could not raise any questions.
Hu Hai is very glad that he is not in a hurry to reply to the mysterious people who are now in the barren land. Once he establishes contact with them, he will not be in his own hands and will sooner or later reveal his feelings.
After Han Xin announced his mission this time, he wandered around Linchen County accompanied by Hu Hai. During this period, Han Xin asked Hu Hai a few seemingly simple questions as Yang Zi's husband, and hurriedly left.
According to Han Xin, he had to hurry to Bushan County, the Jiao County capital of Guilin County, to perform the same things as Xiang County.
Looking at Han Xin's back as he hurriedly left, Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Han Xin's condition, he could almost conclude that Han Xin should have come here to implement Ying Gao's general order, rather than having any bad statements about him.
Suddenly, Hu Hai discovered that it seemed that subverting a dynasty was much better than establishing a dynasty. However, thinking that he was the son of the Qin Dynasty who looked most like the First Emperor, and in his father's eyes, even Fusu was much worse than him. Then, this seemingly impossible task should be possible to complete.
But what Hu Hai didn't know was that after Han Xin left Xiang County, he did rush to Guilin County without stopping, but his meeting with Liu Wei, the county magistrate of Guilin County and Sun Qian, the county magistrate of Bushan County, was different from Hu Hai's previous ones.
"Your Highness has said that you must be very cautious when you have asked you two before. You must not be able to find anything wrong with them. If there is anything that is unreasonable, you must send someone to report to you to know."
Han Xin, the county lieutenant of Guilin County, did not directly appoint him as he did when he was in Xiangjun. Instead, he introduced a deputy general under his command to Liu Wei and told the deputy general that although he was in the position of county lieutenant, he would follow Liu as the leader in everything. After that, the three of them went to a house alone, and Han Xin instructed these words to the two of them.
"Don't worry, General, now I have established some relationship with Mr. Hu Hai as required by the emperor. I think if Mr. Hu Hai has any problems in the control of Xiang County, I will still ask me for advice. If he does anything in Xiang County, then I will definitely find out."
"According to the Lord's opinion... When you become more familiar with Mr. Hu Hai, you can go further."
"Please give me advice!"
After Liu Wei asked, Han Xin summoned him and Sun Qian to his front and slowly said something in their ears.
"This... how can this be done!" After hearing this, Liu Wei looked embarrassed, and even Sun Qian next to him frowned. Obviously, what Han Xin told them did not seem to be a good thing.
"This is what the Lord means. Just do it. Besides, isn't Sun Qian still testified to you? How could I deceive you? You have also been in contact with the Lord. You often do things beyond our expectations. I think you know it."
"Since that's the case, please tell the emperor that Liu Wei will definitely do this as the emperor said!"
Finally, in the bitter faces of Liu Wei and Sun Qian, Han Xin hurried to his next target location, which can be regarded as Nanhai County where he revisited his old place.
Today, Nanhai County is no longer the same as Nanhai County when Fusu just arrived. With Guilin and Xiang County being taken into account by Fusu, Nanhai County has long been a solid piece under Fusu's rule.
It turned out that the small forces in the South Vietnamese county had been almost completely defeated by Fusu. They had all retreated to Guilin and Xiang County before. After Guilin and Xiang County were also taken down by Fusu, they retreated to the barren land in the south. Of course, this was not within the jurisdiction of Fusu.
Fusu was naturally very enthusiastic when he knew that Han Xin had arrived. In a sense, when Fusu was a little isolated in Nanhai County, it was Han Xin who helped him to know what a real war was and what kind of decisive decision he should have as the master of Nanhai County in the war.
It was from that time that Fusu, who had been hesitant and even indecisive when encountering things, disappeared, and even expelled Zhao Tuo, who seemed unshakable, back to Xianyang little by little.
It was very difficult to go step by step, but Fusu persisted. Now Fusu, who is the only one in Nanhai County, saw Han Xin again and suddenly he returned to the time when he had just arrived in Nanhai.
Because Nanhai County has a very complete configuration, and requires officials and troops, Han Xin's mission is simple. He just informed Fusu and then started drinking with Fusu under the warm reception.
