Chapter 75: Scaring your courage

"The people of Minyue are so virtuous!" Li Guang broke his mouth and unhappened with disdain.

"You go back and tell Zou Ying that I'll wait for his reply." Zhou Yang's eyes seemed to be spurting fire.

With Zhou Yang's aura, he wished he could kill Guo Jie immediately. If he did that, the Han army would pay a considerable price. After capturing the Minwang City in one fell swoop, Minyue would be over. However, the next clearance would be much more difficult. Just like the Qin army did back then, it would cost a high price to clear one mountain to the other.

Moreover, the amount of troops required is much more, and it takes a long time, which is too unprofitable.

Although Zhou Yang was angry, he did not lose his mind, and would not do anything that would cause the soldiers to be injured and killed due to his own anger.

Zou Gao was already desperate. He thought Zhou Yang would kill him, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yang would let him go and wanted to let him go back.

"Master, is this true?" Zou Gao didn't believe it. He thought there was something wrong with his ears and looked at Zhou Yang with a look of surprise.

"I don't want to die, get out of here!" Cheng Buzhi shouted loudly, as if thunder sounded in his ears, causing Zou Gao's ear drum to roar and buzzing.

"I'll get out! I'll get out!" Zou Gao suddenly looked radiant and was so happy that he knocked hard at Zhou Yang a few times before he got up and pissed off.

Looking at his back, Cheng Bushi and others burst into laughter.

Zou Gao was scared to him. He would definitely return to the Minwang City with despair. It can be imagined that Zou Ying would definitely be scared to death after hearing his statement.

This kind of thing is exciting when you think about it, and Cheng Buzhi and they are really happy.

"How many injuries were killed?" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Master, what kind of injury is gone?" Gongsun He smiled and his thumb was raised to the sky: "Except for the unlucky dozens of unlucky deaths in battle, the rest were all slightly injured."

It was definitely a miracle that made people lose their eyes by the price of dozens of deaths in battle. Li Guang and his friends rolled on the battlefield for a lifetime, but they had never encountered such a good thing. They could not close their mouths.

"This is the army of Minyue. If we encounter the Huns, the price will be much greater." Zhou Yang did not get lost in the victory, and analyzed calmly: "We can achieve such great results at such a small price, mainly because: First, Zou Gao misjudged the situation; Second, our equipment, training, and tactics are far beyond the size of the army of Minyue; Third, the army of Minyue is not as good as the Huns, and if the battle is not good, it will lose its vigor."

Zhou Yang's analysis was definitely a pertinent statement, and Zhu Maichen and the others kept nodding.

"This battle is certainly gratifying, but it is not enough to be proud!" Zhou Yang finally concluded.

This is true. After all, the Minyue and the Han Dynasty are not on the same order of magnitude, and this battle is brilliant, but it is not enough to be proud. If you fight against the Huns and achieve such great results at such a small price, that would be a real miracle!

"Master, what should we do next?" Li Guang nodded and asked.

"Go to Pucheng and wait for Zou Ying to send an envoy!" Zhou Yang pondered for a moment and issued a military order.

With an order, the Han army drove towards Pucheng.

The camp is a flat land with a radius of dozens of miles, which is a battlefield carefully selected by Zhou Yang. The terrain of Minyue is complex, with mountainous land and jungle, so it is not difficult to choose a battlefield. Even the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "roof of the world", also has flat land, not to mention Minyue.

After the Han army drove away, there were only 20,000 corpses on this flat land, which was a masterpiece of the Han army.

After arriving at Pucheng, the Han army entered the city and did not encounter any resistance. When they entered the city, Zhu Maichen began to get busy and sent people to check the storage in the city. Minyue actually accumulated a large amount of food, grass and weapons here.

The quality of the military ordnance in Minyue was far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty, which was not attractive to the Han army. The food and grass were different, saving Zhou Yang a lot of trouble and no longer had to come from the Han situation.

The first military order after Zhou Yang entered the city was to send people back to the Han territory, mobilize Kuaiji and the nearby Han army to act as if they were about to advance toward Fujian and Yue, and act like a big fight.

The Min Palace, Zou Ying, Yu Shan and Guo Jie were drinking.

Zou Ying took over the throne, raised his wine glass and said, "Hiss Guo, do it!"

"Master, please!" Guo Jie raised his glass, touched Zou Yingyao, and drank happily.

I originally thought that he was as anxious as a dog that was a pity, and it would be good if Zou Ying could take him in. Unexpectedly, Zou Ying not only took him in, but also feasted him every day and treated him with more respect, which benefited Guo Jieda.

Zou Ying had only one requirement, that is, Guo Jie could not show up in public. Guo Jie naturally would not object to this requirement. If he showed up in public, it would inevitably lead to the pursuit of the Han Dynasty. After he stabbed such a big miss, the Han Dynasty would definitely send masters and even send troops to capture him.

He was not afraid, but once he lost the place where he was in Minyue, he would have to die again, and that would be difficult.

"Guo respects the king, I wish the king a good thing to accomplish!" Guo Jie filled the wine, raised his glass, and toasted Zou Ying from afar.

"Thank you, Daxia Guo! If you want to accomplish a great thing, you still need to rely on Daxia Guo. Daxia Guo, please!" Zou Ying drank a beautiful cup of wine.

"The king has his own will, but Guo dares not do his best!" Guo Jie drank and put down his glass.

"Report to the king, Zou Gao asked for a meeting." A confidant quickly came in to report.

"Zou Gao, what are he doing? Ask him to come in." Zou Gao did not take the order, and Zou Ying felt a little surprised.

"King, it must be something that Dong'ou has to do. He is coming back to ask for his appointment." Yu Shan said with a smile.

It has always been Zou Ying's wish to annex Dongou for decades and have entered Dongou several times. In the end, it was because of the intervention of the Han Dynasty and had to withdraw the troops. When Zou Ying heard this, he was very happy and poured a glass of wine, picked up the wine glass, handed it to his mouth, and started drinking it.

However, the wine did not enter his mouth, but flowed out along the corner of his mouth, wet his clothes, and he unconsciously looked at Zou Gao with his eyes.

At this time, Zou Gao was as anxious as a stray dog, his face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, and he was a little shaking when he walked, which was scared.

He is a famous warrior in Minyue. He is very brave. How did he become like this?

If Zou Ying hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

Seeing Zou Gao's fear in his eyes, Yu Shan looked incredible, followed Zou Ying's footsteps and stared at Zou Gao foolishly, as if it had become petrified.

Guo Jie didn't change much, he was extremely calm. He just quickly glanced at the corner of his mouth. He was braver than the sky and always looked down on timid people. He naturally felt extremely disdainful of Zou Gao's appearance.

"King! Woo woo!" Zou Gaokang knelt down with a loud voice, and actually covered his face with both hands, crying so sadly, as if his parents were dead. No, it was ten times more sad than his parents died.

That was the 20,000 elite soldiers he had trained with his own hands. How could he not be sad if he had slaughtered the Han army with just a few kung fu?

"Zou Gao, what happened? Tell me quickly!" Zou Ying knew that he was so scared that something earth-shaking must have happened.

Sure enough, Zou Gao cried: "King, Zhou Yang is here!"

"Zhou Yang? Which Zhou Yang?" Zou Ying didn't recall the feeling for a while. As soon as he spoke, he realized: "He is here? Where is he?"

"Zhou Yang!" Guo Jie's eyes were about to spit out fire, and he squeezed a good wine glass into his hand.

"Who else can be there? Naturally, it is a famous general of the Han Dynasty. Zhou Yang, who defeated the Huns last year." Zou Gao was a little unhappy. Zou Ying didn't even remember such a famous person: "He brought 30,000 troops to Pucheng. He was not kind-hearted. He obviously had 30,000 troops, but he only had a camp of more than 10,000 people, and he didn't even beat the flag of the coach. I thought it was the garrison in Kuaiji, so I led the army to fight. Unexpectedly, he was caught in his treacherous plan."

"Zhou Yang used his troops in a strange way, and it was normal to use a brief plan." Zou Ying was not surprised at all: "How are the casualties?"

"King, the last general is incompetent and the entire army is wiped out!" Zou Gaoyi thought of the bloody battlefield and the ruthless massacre, and his heart was like being torn apart by someone, and he couldn't help but scream.

The surrendered Minyue army slaughtered all the troops in front of him. When Zou Gaoyi thought about it, he seemed that he was not slaughtering soldiers, but ravaging him, and he shivered again.

"The entire army was wiped out?" Zou Ying didn't believe it at all: "Your 20,000 people are the lonely elite troops! You fought against King Dong'ou begging for mercy. Even if you stood there, stretched your neck and asked the Han army to kill them, you wouldn't be able to kill them all."

He was right, it was normal. However, the Han army led by Zhou Yang used the tactics that were the most fierce tactics in ancient China. There was no difference between fighting the Fujian-Yue army and cutting melons and vegetables.

"King, it's true! It's all true!" Zou Gao was anxious and couldn't help but roar: "They are not humans, they are monsters! They are not killing people, they are eating people!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yu Shan didn't believe it, and shouted.

"Tell me, how many have you killed?" Zou Ying's face darkened. That was his 20,000 elite, a weapon used to deal with Dong'ou: "Even if you are wiped out, you will have to kill and kill thousands of Han troops."

For decades, Minyue has never succeeded in trying to get rid of Han Dynasty control. After all, it is because the Han army is stronger than the Minyue army. This is an indisputable fact, but the two armies have never fought each other. Zou Ying is really unsure of the strength of the Han army. He is very curious about how different the strength of the Minyue army and the Han army are.

The difference in strength is obvious at the battlefield. Therefore, he asked this question.

"King, we didn't even kill a hundred Han troops!" Zou Gao's words were shocking.

"Nonsense! Even if you are pigs, you will have to kill a lot of them. What's more, you are humans, and at least you will have to kill thousands of them!" Zou Ying shouted: "You dare to talk nonsense! Come on, pull him down and chop him down! Something that you don't repent!"

"King, it's unjust! It's unjust!" Zou Gao shouted injustice.

However, Zou Ying couldn't help but waved his hand and urged his personal guard to execute his execution as soon as possible.

"Yu Shan, you have to save me. Please plead with the king quickly. All I tell is the truth." Zou Gao had no choice but to ask Yu Shan for help.

"Zou Gao, what's the point of asking for help? You have to use your brain when you speak loudly." Yu Shan shook his head helplessly, without any intention of asking for mercy. It's not that he doesn't want to mercy, but that he can't find a suitable word.

There are 20,000 elite troops in Minyue, and who will believe it if there are less than 100 Han troops killed or injured? Whoever believes it will be a pig!

Zou Ying was right. If the Fujian and Yue army had the will to die and had a bloody battle, although the Han army was very capable, well-equipped, well-trained, and advanced tactics, the price would definitely be very high, and hundreds or thousands of casualties would not be a problem.

The problem is that the Minyue army was scared and dared not respond, and the Han army was in danger of causing serious casualties.

In this way, Zou Gao dragged it out and cut off his head.

"Yu Shan, you rushed to see Zhou Yang and said you should retreat to the Han army!" Zou Ying raised his eyebrows and said, "Prepare a generous gift and be humble in your words. Last year, you could say that you should retreat to Zhou Yafu, but that you should withdraw to Zhou Yang is not a problem."

Yu Shan was unwilling to go ten thousand times, but he still had to accept the order.

Pucheng, Zhouyang's mansion.

The food, clothing, housing and use of Minyue are inseparable from the Han Dynasty, and everything is imitated by the Han Dynasty. Even this house is the same, and it is still a popular style in the Han Dynasty, with high in the middle and bottom on both sides.

The difference with Han Dynasty buildings is that, generally speaking, houses are lower than those of Han Dynasty and are not as spacious and bright as houses in Han Dynasty.

This has a lot to do with the history of Minyue.

The time when the Chinese really entered Lingnan was not the 500,000 Qin troops that were expeditioned in the south decades ago, but in the late Shang Dynasty, thousands of years ago, the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and many people from the Central Plains crossed the Five Ridges and entered Lingnan. They kept going south, and their pace reached the current Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Vietnam.

At that time, the land of Lingnan was still dominated by indigenous people and second to the Central Plains. Although the number of people in the Central Plains was not large, it brought advanced civilization and technology, which was extremely important for the development of Lingnan and played a huge role in promoting it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes competed for hegemony, and the people suffered a lot from the Warring States Period, and there were more people living in the Central Plains who moved far away to Lingnan, which was another great help to the development of Lingnan.

The chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lasted for hundreds of years. These hundreds of years were a painful abyss for the Central Plains. For Lingnan, it was a golden period. They accepted a large number of Han people, absorbed a large number of Central Plains civilizations, and adopted a large number of advanced technology to achieve a qualitative leap. The difference from the Central Plains is no longer too big.

Because the Chu State was closest to Lingnan, some people saw the value of it and took Lingnan back to their territory.

It has to be said that this is a very visionary measure that has enabled Chu to obtain a large population and land. If used well, it will make Chu's strength a qualitative leap. Chu is among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, with the vastest land and the largest population. It was once optimistic that the most hope of unifying China.

However, the State of Chu did not seize this opportunity, nor did it govern the land of Lingnan, but only symbolically collected tribute from some tribes. The reason why the State of Chu did this was because since ancient times, Chu had pursued the national policy of going north to the Central Plains and competing for hegemony with the princes. Even a famous monarch like King Zhuang of Chu was no exception.

If the State of Chu spent some time to manage Lingnan well, the national strength would definitely be improved. Unfortunately, the State of Chu did not do that.

Although the Chu State did not govern Lingnan, with the introduction of a large number of Central Plains civilizations, Lingnan was rapidly becoming Chinese and rapidly approaching the Central Plains, and the difference became smaller and smaller.

Although the difference is getting smaller, there is still a barrier, which prevents the interaction between the Nanling Mountains and the Central Plains. The one who broke this barrier was Qin Shihuang, the 500,000 southern expedition army under Qin Shihuang.

Once Lingnan was pacified, there were no barriers to the interaction with the Central Plains, which made the Lingnan area quickly become Chinese. Whether it was food, clothing, housing and transportation, or customs, it was the same as the Central Plains.

Zhou Yang's mansion is the largest house in Pucheng. It's not that Zhou Yang wants to be generous, but because the place is too small to handle military aircraft. After all, there are many people who have to come in and out.

Zhou Yang and Li Guang and the others were chatting. With Zhu Maichen, the chief clerk who was proficient in government affairs, Zhou Yang saved more trouble.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, Yu Shan is asking for a meeting!" Zhao Ponu came in and greeted Zhou Yang.

"Ha!" Li Guang laughed loudly: "We must be here to withdraw our troops! Grandmaster, don't see him."

"I still have to see you, but I can't see you like this." Zhou Yang smiled and said, "General Fei, I'll give you a mission. Take Yu Shan to the battlefield and let him see the 20,000 troops in Minyue with his own eyes!"

"Haha! Isn't it scared his courage?" Li Guang burst into laughter.

"It is to scare him out of his courage before he can do the following article." Zhu Maichen had seen someone and had already understood Zhou Yang's intention.

"Master, this is scary, this is the last general. This is yours. The last general is scary!" Where can I find such a beautiful thing? Li Guang smiled and walked away quickly.

Yu Shan was looking around in the yard, looking here and there, the Han army stood upright like a wooden stake. The virility emanated from their bodies made people feel as if they were not humans, but a sharp sword.

"What an elite!" Yu Shan praised secretly.

"Follow me!"

Just when he was surprised, Li Guang strode towards him and shouted coldly.

Li Guang's voice was very loud. Although he was yelling normally, Yu Shan heard it, but it was like a thunder roaring in his ears. He couldn't help but feel excited and secretly praised him: "May I ask General Gao's name?"

"Let's go down to Li Guang." Li Guang flew on his horse.

"So it's the flying general!" Li Guang's name was very loud. Not only did the Huns know his name, but even the monarchs and ministers of Minyue knew it. Yu Shan looked at Li Guang and saw that Li Guang was extremely tall and powerful. His pair of ape arms were longer than his knees and carrying a big yellow bow. He secretly praised him, a tiger general.

"Flying General, I want to see the general!" Yu Shan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, with a very good attitude, and his body was 90 degrees.

"There is not so much nonsense. If the general wants you to follow me, you have to follow me!" Li Guang has always been unambiguous in implementing Zhou Yang's military order.

"I dare to ask General Fei, where is the general going?" Yu Shan was extremely reluctant and had to get on the horse.

"There are still so much nonsense, you will know when you go." Li Guang was very angry, slapped his horse and rode away.

Yu Shan came this time just to smile. It is good to have a smile on her face. Even if she can’t get a smile on her face, she can’t get a cold butt. Li Guang is so careless, it’s tantamount to a cold butt. Don’t mention how unhappy Yu Shan is.

He had to bear the shock and followed Li Guang out of the city.

The thirty-mile journey is just a breath of time for riding a horse.

"Where does the bloody smell come from? It's so strong!" Yu Shan couldn't help but sniff.

"Look at it. That's your 20,000 elite soldiers, all of them are here, a lot of them. If you don't believe it, you can count them one by one." The horse whip in Li Guang's hand pointed at the battlefield filled with corpses.

“…”

Yu Shan swept it and opened his mouth wide and turned into a round shape.
