After losing the meticulous work, Zhao Tuo felt a little bit blind, and the next pursuit became extremely difficult.

They first met a group of people who were tied up and tied to trees by the roadside, and their clothes were gone.

Zhao Tuo ordered people to ask, and the people cried and said, "Four or five hundred people just passed by, without saying anything, tied us here, snatched the clothes, and changed them into them."

When Zhao Tuo heard this, he became anxious. Once Wang Heng's more than 400 people pretended to be the people and hid among the people, it would be difficult to find them.

Fortunately, he had more troops, so Zhao Tuo immediately divided half of the troops and searched the thieves nearby. The remaining half of the troops continued to chase forward to see if there were any traces of Wang Heng in front.

The thousand,500 people who stayed immediately ordered the surrounding townships, pavilions and village chiefs to assist in the investigation with their household registration.

Anyone who comes from a stranger in the village and who doesn’t match the household registration number, you will catch it first.

One hour later, within a radius of dozens of miles, it was suddenly full of chaos.

Zhao Tuo's people gained a lot. They caught three stealing things, five full-time people, and six reselling alcohol in the countryside...

But they did not find any trace of Wang Heng.

These 1,500 people were very annoyed and beat the unlucky people hard, then continued to rush towards South Vietnam.

Soon, they caught up with Zhao Tuo's large group of troops.

Zhao Tuo seemed a little silent, and he suddenly realized that he was indeed a little reckless this time.

This time, unlike the last time I quelled the rebels. Last time, the enemy was in the light and he was in the dark. So if you can be calm and find an opportunity, you will take a bite.

But this time, Wang Heng was much more cunning than Xiang Liang. Wang Heng had much fewer people. Once they were hiding among the people, it was really difficult.

If there is another chance, Zhao Tuo feels that he should quietly surround the valley where Wang Heng is and not let one go.

But thinking of this, he shook his head again: "How is this possible? Lord Tingwei is waiting for me to make contributions in Xianyang City. If these 500 rebels are arrested for a few months, it will be a joke."

"What's more, when I came to Pei County, this group of thieves were looting the people. Even if I wanted to quietly surround them, it was too late, and Xingzang had been exposed."

At this time, a three-way intersection appeared in front of him. It is still unclear which path Wang Heng's people took.

Zhao Tuo thought about it, divided his troops into three places, and continued to pursue.

If you divide it into three teams, each team will have one thousand people. In terms of number of people, you still have an overwhelming advantage over Wang Heng.

What's more, these Qin soldiers were all experienced in many battles and were much more powerful than rebels. Therefore, Zhao Tuo was not worried that Wang Heng would defeat them one by one.

Zhao Tuo personally led a thousand people and walked the middle road.

The mountain road is rugged, and sometimes up and down. Some places cannot be called roads. In the end, the entire army could only dismount and lead the horses to walk south.

When I walked to the point where people were tired and my throat was about to smoke, a pool appeared in front of me.

Zhao Tuo was overjoyed and rushed over with people to drink water and horses. But a wooden sign stood beside the pool with the words: Poisonous.

Zhao Tuo was so angry that he kicked the sign down: "This must have been written by Wang Heng. It seems that we are right to go this path."

The general said in pain: "General, the entire army is exhausted and there is no water, this..."

Zhao Tuo said lightly: "This pool must have a source, go to the source to drink water."

After the generals were ordered, they searched nearby for a while, and finally found a stream and then fetched water from the mountains.

First give a few old horses to drink, make sure there is no problem, and then the person drinks water.

After drinking the water, Zhao Tuo suddenly felt that this place was high and densely forested. Why didn’t Wang Heng set up an ambush here? If everyone was drinking water, arrows were fired at once...

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo was startled and shouted to everyone: "Prepare to meet the enemy."

The Qin soldiers quickly gathered together and observed the surroundings nervously.

However, there was nothing around. Only the mountain wind blew through the trees and whimpered.

After a long time, a general couldn't help but asked carefully: "General, where is the enemy?"

Zhao Tuo whispered: "Along the way, Wang Heng gave me a feeling that this person is a smart person. Since he is a smart person, how could he give up such an excellent opportunity to set up an ambush?"

The deputy generals nodded, but said strangely: "However, if they really set up an ambush, they should have attacked a long time ago. At this time, they obviously missed the opportunity."

Zhao Tuo frowned, and couldn't figure out the reason.

At this time, the detective came back and reported that he had seen everything around him and there was no trace of the thief.

Zhao Tuo frowned, and he suddenly slapped his forehead and said with great regret: "I understand. All the soldiers will immediately get on the horse and chase the thief."

The deputy general asked, "General, what's going on?"

Zhao Tuo said: "Wang Heng is indeed a smart person. He knew in his heart that even if his troops were ambushed, they would not do anything to us. Instead, they would delay his escape and would easily be bitten by us."

"So, he chose the thief to bluff here, making us hesitate and dare not step forward and slow down our speed. And he took this opportunity to go far away."

The deputy generals were all skeptical.

Not long after, they found that the road ahead was blocked, the simple bridges were destroyed, and some river embankments were even dug, and it was muddy everywhere, making it difficult for people to move forward.

Zhao Tuo jumped off his horse, looked into the distance, and smiled bitterly: "Walking forward, you will reach the boundary of Lingnan. There are no roads, no cities, and there are mountains and dense forests everywhere, and Yue people who have bad intentions towards us.

It would be difficult to catch Wang Heng in less than a year or two."

Zhao Tuo shook his head in disappointment: "My Lord Tingwei told me, but he still couldn't do it in the end."

The deputy generals around all sighed.

Zhao Tuo called someone over to prepare his pen and ink. He wrote two letters, one of which was to Li Si, and the main content was to apologize to Li Si and express his loyalty.

Another letter was written to Ying Zheng, hoping that the court could allocate money and food.

After the envoy left, Zhao Tuo said to the people around him: "You have been marching for so long, are you tired? Eat some dry food and set up camp. In addition, send someone to call the other two groups of people over, so there is no need to chase the king separately.

It's constant."

The deputy generals said: "The longer we delay here, the further we have not escaped?"

Zhao Tuo shook his head: "Even if we chase him again, it will be difficult to catch him. Moreover, our army is exhausted. Once we arrive in Lingnan, it is too easy to ambush there. Wang Heng's hundreds of people will cause us a lot.

Major casualties.”

"Next, we must make steady progress. Otherwise, three thousand people will be defeated by four hundred people, which is a joke."

Everyone around him nodded with deep understanding.

…………

Wang Heng had indeed entered Lingnan. Along the way, their group fully utilized their ability to burn bridges across the river.

At first, everyone thought it was a great pleasure to do destruction, but after doing too much, they became a little tired and tired.

However, when I think that the pursuers behind would be blocked, I worked very hard.

At night, Wang Heng waved his hand to everyone and said with a smile: "At this time, the Qin soldiers will definitely not be able to chase after them. Tonight, we can have a solid sleep."

Everyone was happy.

Xiang Pi asked carefully: "Prime Minister, we can have a sleep tonight. What about tomorrow? Where are we going after dawn?"

Wang Heng said: "After dawn, we formed an alliance with the South Vietnamese tribe. We have 400 hardcovers, which is a considerable force. After the alliance, we will join forces with each other and attack nearby, pacify the South Vietnamese tribe one by one, and combine South Vietnam into one. From then on, I will be great.

Chu was restored to the country in Nanyue.”

Speaking of this, Wang Heng was suddenly stunned and thought: There is no Chu person in Nanyue, so there is no need for this so-called King Huai of Chu to attract the hearts of the people. Otherwise... I will become the king of myself?

However, Wang Heng hesitated for a moment and gave up this idea.

Nanyue is a barbarian land after all. If you are a king in such a place, you always feel like a child playing house. A true hero should compete for the Central Plains.

Therefore, I will still have to get back one day.

After conquering Nanyue, he recruited the strength of Nanyue and trained it into a tiger and wolf army, and then captured Chu territory under the name of King Huai of Chu...

The more Wang Heng thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he couldn't help but grin.

At this time, the neck of the next to him poured cold water on him again: "Hey, it's not interesting to be the King of Nanyue in such a barbarian land."

Wang Heng also felt that it was meaningless to be a king here, but he could say this, what kind of thing is his neck and dare to talk nonsense?

Wang Heng was in a bad mood and immediately raised his hand to beat Xiangpi.

Xiangpi was startled and quickly took a step back.

Wang Heng saw King Huai of Chu standing beside Xiangpi and was looking at him with horror.

"Forget it, this puppet is useful in the future. Let's spare them." Wang Heng comforted himself, then tried hard to smile, and said to Xiang Pi: "Nanyue is now a barbarian land, and it may not be the future.

Which Qin and Chu, is not a barbarian land? Now? Isn’t it a country of etiquette?”

Xiangpi dared not speak anymore.

Wang Heng waved his hand and said to the people around him: "Everyone have a good meal today. After dawn, I will take people to learn about the nearby tribes. These Nanyue people must have conflicts with each other. At that time, we can

Divide them and defeat them one by one.”

These thieves nodded with conviction and went to have a meal.

Wang Heng lay among the battalion commander who had just been set up, thinking beautifully: "King of Nanyue, hehe..."

…………

"King of Nanyue? Are you teasing me?" Xu Fu raised his hand and slapped the messenger in front of him in the face.
