Chapter 429 Bashu Raiders
Xiao He served as the Prime Minister of Shu for two years and eight months, and it was in his hands. The population, agricultural production, handicrafts and trade of Shu County had made great progress. Small towns in Shu like Linqiong have developed into smelting capitals in the south, and Shu Capital became a famous granary in the Qin State because of its bumper harvest of grain and fodder.
The Qinling Mountains are undulating, the larch forests at high places, the green trees in the valleys, and the roars of wild beasts in the deep mountains following countless peaks all make Li Yuan feel trance through the path of time and space.
Time is like a ridge.
More than a year has passed since the last time the riot in Hanzhong was suppressed. Under the filter of time, there were no traces of war left by the war on the Shiniu Road in Hanzhong. Instead, there were caravans in groups of three or three, as well as people who were taking their families to the south, staring at Li Yuan's majestic and stern team with curious and surprised eyes.
Zhou Ping raised his head and swept the passing team again and again with a stern look. This time, he was responsible for protecting Li Yuan's safety. As for Yang Yu, because of his outstanding performance in the process of returning to the Qin delegation, he had been appointed by Li Yuan as a general of an army in the Southern Expedition Army and took on the important task of leading the army independently.
Zhou Ping envied Yang Yu very much. He was both a brother robe during the Hetao War. He watched the other party get promoted, but he was still standing still. This feeling was really bad, but Zhou Ping was not jealous because Yang Yu earned it with his ability, and Zhou Ping could do the same.
This time when Li Yuan left Chang'an and went to Shu, Zhou Ping volunteered to lead a personal army to escort him. Although it was almost impossible to encounter any major difficulties along the way, Zhou Ping still did not dare to be careless at all.
Assassination.
During the ten years of the establishment of Xin Qin, it has never been interrupted.
If Li Yuan had any mistakes, then Zhou Ping could not redeem his sins even if he died.
Under Zhou Ping's strict escort, Li Yuan arrived in Shudu in early September. The Qin generals Wang Shang, Yang Yu, Luo Xian, Wang Changgong, and Xiao He, the county prime minister who was responsible for the management of Shu County, came to welcome him at the Qingbai River north of Shu County.
The key to using the Three Yue troops in the south is to defeat the most powerful Zhao Tuo force. If Zhao Tuo cannot be severely damaged, then he can hide behind the Mei Yue people and the Min Yue people and support these two allies without any injury. In this case, the Qin army would have to pay a arduous price to occupy the south.
Zhao Tuo's shameless behavior not only indignated Lu Jia and others, but also aroused the blood in Li Yuan's heart. Since Zhao Tuo had expressed his attitude, Li Yuan did not plan to leave any further action.
If you want to beat it, just beat it to a good time.
Didn’t you just want to hide behind and instruct Mei Yue people, Min Yue people and Qin army to fight to death, and then you can make a profit? I, Li Yuan, don’t give you this opportunity.
After the Five-foot Road was opened, the Qin army could start from Ba County and go straight to Nanyue through Yelang Kingdom. Although this new road has many mountain roads and the army is not easy to pass, it has surprising effects.
However, the army was expeditioned.
The army was alone to the south again. If one is not good, it would be possible that the entire army would be wiped out again. Therefore, Li Yuan had to be cautious and cautious. Except for a few generals from the front army like Feng Xuan, others rarely knew about the actions of the army. As the new force of the surprise expedition, Li Yuan also put a lot of effort into the choice of generals.
Wang Shang lived in Bashu for a long time and knew very well about the situation in the south, especially in the Yelang Kingdom south of Ba County, and the ancient Dian Kingdom. More importantly, Wang Shang had a high reputation in Yelang and Dian areas. The people of Dian were very afraid of the Qin general who rushed them back to the south from the north of the river. In addition, Wang Shang's loyalty to Li Yuan, it was most appropriate that he was the leader of this army.
Yang Yu and Wang Changgong were the meritorious generals who escorted Lu Jia all the way back from Nanhai County. They were quite familiar with this road from Ba County to Nanhai County. They knew where the passes and where there might be ambush. This was a must-have general for an expeditionary force.
As for Luo Xian, his selection came from the rear of Ba County. After Wang Shang's troops marched south, Luo Xian's troops were responsible for maintaining the security of the rear route, and the Ba people team he led would follow Wang Shangjun to ensure that the rear passage was not cut off.
