Chapter 1027 Victory is just around the corner

"General, don't continue looking for it. I saw Yi Yusong being blown into powder with my own eyes!"

Han Xin rubbed his head and grinned and entered the canyon under the escort of several imperial guards. After seeing the situation in front of him, he said to Wang Ben.

"Oh, okay, as long as the Song Dynasty dies, Xiou will scatter without the leader. This plan is considered successful. This contribution will be recorded by the Marquis of Han!" Wang Ben nodded helplessly.

"Hehe, General, there is no need to worry. Whether Yi Xu Song's body is found or not, it doesn't matter. The General only needs to bring all the Yue people caught a few days ago to watch the situation here, and ask them to bring all the bodies back to their tribes, and tell them that if they continue to fight against me, Daqin, we will use Taiyi Divine Thunder to blow them all to death. In the past, we could not escape them, but now with the Divine Thunder in hand, how can their flesh and blood resist? If they don't accept Wang Hua, there is only a way out of death..." Han Xin smiled a little cunningly.

"Well, you have a good idea. This is the reason to kill chickens and scare monkeys. Okay, let's do it like this. Come and bring all the Yue captives I have recently caught to watch the power of the Taiyi Divine Thunder explosion, and then ask them to pick up all the fragmented corpses and let them go back and tell their respective leaders that this marquis will wait for them in the camp for half a month. If there are still people who are stubborn and try to resist our 200,000 troops in the Qin Dynasty, this marquis will definitely use Taiyi Divine Thunder to blow the nests of all Yue people into this way..."

"Here~" a group of soldiers scattered.

One day later, Wang Ben ordered a hundred thousand troops to withdraw and retreat twenty miles, and set up a camp in a flat river valley. The fences of the camps stretched for dozens of miles, flags fluttered and war horses neighed, and the roars of practice resounded for dozens of miles.

The prisoners of the Xiou tribe, including Xiou tribe captured a few days ago, have all been released. Two days later, the Yue people from the Xiou tribe hiding in nearby mountains have come down the mountain to surrender.

The terrifying explosion in the valley that day shook hundreds of miles in a radius, and the smoke and dust that rose could be seen dozens of miles apart. In addition, the Yue people who were released were ripped and the gallbladder was ripped and the tragic scene in the valley after the explosion of Taiyi Divine Thunder. After learning that the leader Song Song must have been killed by the Qin army with heavenly thunder, some small tribes belonging to Xiou were scared and directly led dozens or hundreds of tribe members down the mountain to surrender.

There were also some larger tribes who refused to believe that Yi Yushu Song had died. After secretly arranging people to check in the valley, the rewards they received seemed to be more tragic and terrifying than those of the tribe members who were released. Therefore, after hesitating for two or three days, they also began to arrange people to go to the Qin army camp to request surrender.

Half a month passed in a flash. As Han Xin expected, there were more than 20 Xiou tribes who came to the Qin army camp to surrender, with a population of more than 50,000, almost 80% of the entire Xiou country. At this point, as the largest and most complex country in the Lingnan Yue people, the most complex terrain was completely conquered, and the middle and upper reaches of the Pearl River Basin was then included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

Autumn begins in July, but the Lingnan area is still in midsummer. Not only is it still humid, hot and rainy, but there is also no change in mosquitoes.

After the news of Xiou surrender spread, all the Yue people in Lingnan were panicked and lost any will to resist. Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao were also excited by the news of Xiou surrender. They did not care about the reduction of the staff caused by the local environment and the ravage of mosquitoes, and launched a fierce attack on the remaining Yue tribes.

In mid-July, Zhao Tuo swept across the south from Panyu. The remaining Nanyue tribes could not resist and all surrendered. At the same time, the two armies of Ren Xiao also swept across the Dongou area and attacked the shore of the South China Sea in just over a month.

The three armies almost advanced in unison. By mid-autumn August, all the lands in Lingnan surrendered. Wang Ben issued a military order, ordering Zhao Tuo Ren Xiao and Gao Yong and other leaders of the previous rogue legions to start garrisoning in the Yue gathering area, appointing the monarch, setting up an official office, and temporarily appointing many officials. Several rogue legions became the main force to guard the naturalized Yue people. Most of the recruited rangers and idle men were granted different positions according to their military merits. Even those prisoners were mostly removed from their criminal status and turned into civilians based on their military merits, and distributed land and real estate to start living with Yue people.

The battle to conquer Lingnan has been planned since the Qin Dynasty conquered Chu State. The policy of encroachment four years ago has entered the actual operation stage. Two years ago, Wang Ben was ordered to take charge of the Lingnan army and entered the final moment of attack. However, because it took a year to repair the Lingchi, the real battle was actually less than five months. However, the so-called sharpening of the knife does not delay chopping wood. Because the maintenance of the Lingchi extends the supply depth of the Qin army to the hinterland of Lingnan, and can be continuously transported to the Lingnan areas through well-connected rivers, which makes the Qin army no longer worry about running food and supplies, so that the conquest plan has almost no obstacles.

As early as mid-Ju, after the surrender of the Xiou tribe, Han Xin, who had long been unable to bear the climate and mosquitoes in Lingnan, asked the King Ben of Tongwu to leave the barracks early and return to Xianyang. At the same time, he also brought the news of conquering Xiou back to Xianyang as the military commander to report to the First Emperor in person.

At this time of the war, Wang Ben also knew that the battle to conquer Baiyue was coming to an end, and the remaining task was to clean up the mess. Han Xin returned to Xianyang in advance and could settle the matter of using Taiyi Divine Thunder in advance, so as not to be embarrassed to see Qinghehou when he went back.

It can be said that the Taiyi Divine Thunder made no less than 100,000 troops to be successfully conquered Xiou this time. Han Xin made two consecutive plans and the main reason for his successful conquering Xiou this time. Therefore, Wang Ben was full of emotion. The so-called heroes were young, not only Qinghe Hou himself was a charlatan, but this brother he picked up was also a monster. His keen feeling about fighter jets, battlefield changes, and enemy-to-we-facing situations are amazing.

Wang Ben is accustomed to the regular large-scale legion battles in the Central Plains. He is not very familiar with the complex terrain battles like Lingnan, and is even a little timid. However, Han Xin is different. He is accustomed to suppressing with sufficient troops, and can also come up with some strange strategies, such as using Taiyi Divine Thunder to bomb and kill chickens and scare monkeys. Although his war experience is insufficient, it can often have miraculous effects. This young man will definitely be an amazing figure in the future.

In August, when Wang Ben, the Duke of Tongwu, led more than 200,000 Qin troops to clean up the mess in Lingnan, countless floats had already begun to parade in Xianyang City, and colorful flags and lanterns began to hang inside and outside Xianyang City. Millions of people have already begun to celebrate the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival in singing and dancing.

Since the order to conquer Lingnan was issued in early April, victorious reports came from all over the Lingnan areas almost every three or five days for several consecutive months. The reporters and military officials and chief officials wrote military information and war reports back to Xianyang through postmen and messengers. As the news of victory continued to be published in the court and newspapers, as more and more Vietnamese surrendered and defeated, the task of conquering Lingnan became clearer and clearer, and this long-saved victory was just around the corner.

Stimulated by the joy of victory, the First Emperor issued an edict to celebrate the country's Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and announced that the world would be reduced by at least one level except for rape, killing, looting, and rebels. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky lanterns and thunder fireworks will be set off again, and the two popular entertainment projects, such as float parades and lantern riddles, will naturally be more lively.

The people of Xianyang, who have passed the Mid-Autumn Festival twice in a row, had already started to entertain themselves before they could wait for the emperor's order to issue them. After August, all the gardens and shops began to celebrate at discounts, especially the Cuju Commercial Plaza. The entire Cuju venue and the commercial building podium were colorfully roaming with colorful flags and lanterns like stars, and the red light continued all night at night, making the entire Cuju Commercial Plaza extremely festive. Every day, countless discounted leaflets were distributed everywhere inside and outside Xianyang.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first autumn market in Daqin was one after another, and it took half a month.

Merchants across the country who had already received this news began to come to Xianyang with a large amount of goods as early as July to prepare to participate in this grand feast of commodity trading.

By early August, the entire Dongfang Road and the Wei River were already crowded with people. Even the Wuguan Road, Wu, Chencang, Micang and other plank roads leading to Bashu were everywhere, with caravans driving cattle and horses and wheelbarrows driving wheelbarrows.

If there is a bird's-eye view of the whole country of Daqin, then the current situation is that several qi roads such as Dongfang Road, Shangjun Road, and Binhai Road are the main hubs. On the roads that crisscross with dozens of counties and hundreds of counties across the country are like fishing nets, countless caravans and people are flocking to Xianyang like rivers.

The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the whole world and is also a great celebration. After this news came out, the entire Qin Dynasty was shocked, and counties and counties in various places began to enter the festival celebration mode. There were countless wealthy merchants starting to build floats in almost all counties and counties, and hundreds of disciples who read and read began to prepare riddles. Various shops and quarry houses began to offer discounts and promotions. Even ordinary officials in towns and villages began to prepare markets and summoned the people under their jurisdiction to participate in this festival where the emperor ordered them to celebrate together.

In addition to the celebrations of the people of the Qin Dynasty, in this mid-autumn season, Xianyang also welcomed a large number of Hu caravans and king envoys from countless Donghu and Xiongnu Yuezhi Western Regions and other countries.

Since the spring market was unprecedented, the news of the opening of the autumn market after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August has spread throughout the Qin Dynasty and even the surrounding countries through business trips and newspapers.

Therefore, after the beginning of autumn, more and more Hu merchants appeared in Xianyang City, including Huns in various costumes, Donghu people, Yuezhi people, and more merchants from the Western Regions countries, as well as foreign races in various costumes, driving the bound bulging cattle, horses, and came from all directions.

In an instant, Xianyang seemed to have become a city of all nations.

Hu merchants who spoke various Hu languages ​​wandered around inside and outside Xianyang.

Countless kings, princes, ministers, civil and military officials, even ordinary minor officials, and even hundreds of students and disciples with different nameplates such as the School of Literature and Engineering of the Academy of Sciences, have become the targets of these Hu merchants competing to give gifts and pursue gifts.

The prosperity of the Qin Dynasty made all the Hu people feel as if they had entered another world in an instant. These various officials and figures with long robes and goose crowns are the objects they dream of currying about. Even if they just get to know each other and say a few words, it is a great recognition and encouragement for them.

In their opinion, the people of the Qin Dynasty were naturally superior to others. These Hu people from remote areas had a humble heart in their bones and could only look up and worship him. They had never had the idea of ​​being on par with equality.

The imperial palace and the court hall in the center of Xianyang City are even more afraid to look directly at.

Many people have seen the scale and posture of the great and powerful Emperor Qin Shihuang's trip. The mighty imperial guards with black armor and spears like a forest, the majestic war horses and uniform movements made all those who saw it for the first time lie on the ground in horror and bow their heads and bow their heads.
