Chapter 518 Hu Hai is in action
Fusu, Liu Wei and others were very excited about the great success of the Qin Dynasty, especially Fusu. After all, Sima Xin was a warship built on his land and conscripted soldiers, so such a huge victory was obviously due to his contribution.
However, over the past year, in addition to helping Liu Wei and Sun Qian to develop Guilin County and Xiang County, there was always a thorn in Fusu's heart, that was his younger brother Hu Hai.
Although I have been searching hard, there has been no news, as if it has evaporated from the world. Until now, I am still sending people to search for it, and have searched almost all the secret places in these three counties several times, but there is still no news about Hu Hai. Hu Hai's affairs have become a unsolved case in the Qin Dynasty.
The real situation is naturally not that Hu Hai really ascended in the sun and evaporated from the world. It is just that the place where the South Vietnamese designed to save their lives decades ago was too hidden, and ordinary soldiers could not find it at all.
Moreover, on weekdays, they rely on a master Zhao Hu to deliver messages. Although the news is a little slower, it is still quite safe to hide here.
The reason why they did not do anything for more than a year was that they were only doing one thing, which was waiting for the news of the Great Qin attacking the Mauryan Dynasty. Now, this news was finally sent in by Zhao Hu.
"You mean, this matter is the same as we predicted before. The Qin Dynasty really attacked the land of the Mauryan Dynasty?"
As soon as Zhao Hu entered this very secret place, he directly found Zhao Cheng and informed him of the news that had been spread in the Qin Dynasty. Of course, Hu Hai had already asked questions. After hearing this news, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes, and they all asked again.
After taking a sip of water panting, Zhao Hu then evenly breathed, and then spoke up to explain the causes and consequences he had learned about this matter.
"According to the imperial edict issued in the Qin Dynasty, since Han Xin, Sima Xin and Peng Yue's three armies rushed to the Mauryan Dynasty, there has been news that has been passed back to Xianyang City. They were almost in a state of unstoppable power in the Mauryan Dynasty and had almost no taste of failure. In just a few months, they captured the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty and captured the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty alive. At this time, they were imprisoned in the prison of the Qin Dynasty. Because this was a message personally instructed by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, so this matter should be true!"
After hearing Zhao Hu's words, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then said, "Isn't the Mauryan Dynasty the same territory as the Great Qin? Why was it easily taken down by the coalition forces of the Great Qin and the Huns? I'm afraid this is not a good thing for us. The people and army of the Mauryan Dynasty must be extremely weak, otherwise how could it be like this?"
What Zhao Cheng originally hoped was that although the Great Qin was victorious, it was a miserable victory. Even if the Mauryan Dynasty was taken down by the Great Qin, the anti-Qin forces were still very rampant. Only in this case, if they could make a difference after they arrived at the Mauryan Dynasty, if the people of the Mauryan Dynasty were scared by the Great Qin army like kittens and dogs, they would not be able to do anything immediately, right?
But Hu Hai's eyes turned slightly, but his face was not as decadent as Zhao Cheng. He looked at Zhao Hu and almost asked, "What achievements have these three armies achieved? In addition, how did the Qin and the Huns separate from the Mauryan Dynasty? Have you ever found out the news?"
The two things Hu Hai asked about were not all in the announcement issued by Ying Gao, but Zhao Hu was also a master of intelligence work for many years. Regarding this war, almost everything he could find out, whether he believed it was true or not, he had already found out.
And these two things, he did hear some rumors from the mouths of those who are well-known.
"I heard that this battle was mainly due to Xiang Yu and Han Xin. After they arrived at the Mauryan Dynasty from the territory that had just been opened up by the Emperor of the Great Qin, they found that the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty was not very far from the Western Regions. So they had not waited for Sima Xin and Peng Yue, but they had already started to attack the capital. In the end, they defeated the more with few. Before Sima Xin and Peng Yue arrived, they took the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty. As for that
No one knows how to allocate the territory. He only knows that half of the Xiongnu were given to the Xiongnu. The land of the Mauryan Dynasty was also one of the three. However, I don’t know where the Qin Dynasty belongs to the Xiongnu. I also heard that the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty only sent some officials from the Western Regions, but did not send officials to the Mauryan Dynasty. Now Han Xin and Xiang Yu have returned, and only Sima Xin and Peng Yue and others were stationed in the Mauryan Dynasty with their troops.”
After Zhao Hu told the news, Hu Hai fell into deep thought. Obviously, he was analyzing the current form in the Mauryan Dynasty through these news. He and Zhao Cheng had been nesting in this place where birds could not shit for too long. Although there was no need to worry about food and drink here, and his wife Qi Yi was with him, he would never be willing to let Hu Hai live in such a place for the rest of his life.
From the moment he came out of Xianyang City in the Qin Dynasty, the only thing he thought about was to set up his own business, and then completely defeat Ying Gao, who had already been stolen from his hands, who had already been at his fingertips from his hands, and finally took back all the things that should have belonged to him.
Regarding his understanding of Ying Gao, Zhao Cheng knew that he was still inferior to Hu Hai. Moreover, after so long with Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng found that Hu Hai was really an idea-worthy young man, so after seeing Hu Hai listened to Zhao Hu's report, he fell into deep thought, and Zhao Cheng did not interrupt him.
"The team of Han Xin and Xiang Yu played a tenth role. The capital of the Mauryan Dynasty was tenth of thousands of miles away from the Western Regions... Han Xin and Xiang Yu have returned to the Qin Dynasty?"
Hu Hai repeated these few sentences several times. Obviously he wanted to get something here. His brows were tightly frowned, and Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu were both a little sleepy, especially Zhao Hu, who was very tired. Seeing that Hu Hai had not said anything for a long time, he was about to sit in his seat and fall asleep.
But at this moment, Hu Hai suddenly stopped repeating the sentence, but instead said something else.
"In this way, I'm afraid that it will be useful to prepare the ship before I secretly waited!"
Hu Hai said this sentence, which was quite excited, and it woke up the sleepy Zhao Hu. After hearing this, Zhao Cheng widened his eyes and looked at Hu Hai and asked, "Why? Didn't it be said that the risk of taking a boat to sea is very high. Why would you wait until the road from the barren land to the Mauryan Dynasty is open? Are we waiting to pass through there?"
Indeed, they originally prepared the ship just for the sake of accidents, but now Hu Hai said he wanted to take a boat to the Mauryan Dynasty, which in Zhao Cheng's view was a bit too risky.
"Indeed, it is relatively safer to walk from that barren land, but sir, have you ever thought that now that the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty was very close to that barren land, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty began to develop that area first and sent officials. If we forcefully pass there, not to mention that there are no objects such as verification, even if there are, once an official who worked in Xianyang City in the early years recognized Mr. or Hu Hai, what we were waiting for was the ending of being cut off in Xianyang City."
Hu Hai said this sentence quite confidently, because he thought he knew Ying Gao.
"But this is also an adventure, and taking a boat is also an adventure. Why don't we go by land? If we are really pursued by the officials of the Qin Dynasty, half of them are the territory of the Huns. How can we be captured so easily?"
Obviously, Zhao Cheng still has a lot of concerns about taking a boat. After all, when the storm comes, no matter how powerful you are, it will be the ending of being buried in the belly of a fish. Most people cannot bear such psychological pressure.
"Have you ever thought that the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty was on the side close to the Western Regions, Xiang Yu and Han Xin found it first and attacked it. This is enough to show that when Xiang Yu and Han Xin attacked the capital, Sima Xin and Peng Yue had not arrived yet. The territory of the Mauryan Dynasty was almost the same as that of the Qin Dynasty. In such a short time, it was impossible for them to completely occupy the Mauryan Dynasty. So in my opinion, they must have attacked the capital and surrounding areas.
After capturing the monarch alive, he came back to hand in the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. In this way, the territory of the land landed from the sea must have not been captured yet, and it will not be captured in the short term, because the Qin Dynasty's troops are not enough to defend such a large Mauryan Dynasty. Therefore, if we take a boat to the Mauryan Dynasty, everything we go has not been captured by the Qin Dynasty, and we are the person of the Qin Dynasty, and there will be great potential at that time!"
With such a simple explanation, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu understood Hu Hai’s thoughts, and they all nodded slightly.
Indeed, after reaching the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, if they had been occupied by the Great Qin, their survival situation would still be difficult, but if they arrived at a place that had not been occupied by the Great Qin, their presence would be very obvious and they could do a lot of things.
But it is undeniable that the ship they built, which was much smaller than the Daqin warship, was still very risky, which was also a matter they had to consider.
"Have you ever thought that going to the Mauryan Dynasty requires a chart? Now that we don't have a chart in our hands, how can we go?" After thinking for a while, Zhao Cheng raised another realistic question. If you walk from land, it's okay if you walk wrong. At least you can tell the difference between the southeast, southwest and north, but if you really walk wrong on the sea, it's over.
"This chart is the first level that we need to overcome, but this matter should still be handed over to Zhao Hu. Sima Xin had left Nanhai County before, and someone in Nanhai County must know about this chart. The Emperor of Qin did not order the matter of the chart to be kept confidential. In addition, many people from the Qin Dynasty would go to the Mauryan Dynasty through the sea in the future, so this chart should not be difficult to obtain."
After saying that, Hu Hai turned his attention to Zhao Hu. Only he could do this, so what he meant was also crucial.
"This matter is not difficult. Nanhai County is not far from here, it's just the sir's intention..."
Zhao Hu looked at Zhao Cheng as he spoke. After all, he was under Zhao Cheng's command, and Hu Hai and they were just a cooperative relationship, and the one who made the decision in the end was Zhao Cheng.
This time, Zhao Chengzhen thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "What Mr. Hu Hai said in this matter is indeed very reasonable. We have been hiding for so many years and can no longer hide. If this time, if we fail, we will be successful!"
Finally, Zhao Cheng, who had always been cautious, made this seemingly risky decision. After saying this, his forehead was already sweating, and Hu Hai was slightly relieved. He knew that this was him winning another opportunity for him. If he failed, his existence would really not have much meaning.
So, the great man Zhao Hu left their place again and began his last mission on this land. Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were not idle for a day. They knew that once they reached the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, there would be many unknown dangers waiting for them, and everything was brand new to them. They must be prepared for all possible things in advance, otherwise even if they successfully arrived at the Mauryan Dynasty, they would die tragically in a place where they did not know anything.
Both Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai's plan were unknown to Fusu and Ying Gao. Although Fusu, Liu Wei and Sun Qian had never stopped searching in the three counties of Lingnan, they also knew that if Hu Hai was really in a place where they could easily find him, they would have found Hu Hai long ago.
On this day, Fusu suddenly received a letter from Xianyang. The person who wrote the letter was naturally Ying Gao. Moreover, this letter was different from before. It was an edict, not in the name of Ying Gao, but in the name of the Emperor of Qin.
