Three days later.
The southern frontier of Great Qin, the battlefield of Baiyue.
With the heart of repaying Qin Xiu and the ambition to do something vigorously, Han Xin finally arrived at the battlefield of Qinnan, the land of Baiyue, after three days of flying under the stars and chasing the moon.
Because it was Ying Zheng’s oral edict.
Han Xin didn't waste much time. He took off his civilian clothes that day, put on a brand new general's uniform under the witness of his colleagues, and officially served as the hussar general of this southern expedition.
But what made him depressed was.
Since the Xiongnu were eyeing the Great Wall, all the elites of the Qin Dynasty were now displayed in the north. Under the command of generals such as Wang Jian and Meng Tian, they were engaged in a half-year confrontation with the Xiongnu army.
The remaining troops of Qin Dynasty gathered outside Xianyang City.
He is always at the disposal of the First Emperor to eradicate the anti-Qin forces scattered throughout the empire, and he is also unable to participate in the battle in the Baiyue Land.
And that means.
The number of Daqin troops that could be dispatched to the Baiyue battlefield was very small. All the troops added together only amounted to more than 20,000 people, and they were made up of temporary prisoners and the like.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Because compared to the Huns in the north and anti-Qin forces, the barbarian tribes as far away as Baiyue posed a relatively low threat to the Qin Dynasty, so there were not many troops stationed.
But there are only 20,000 people available.
More than half of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. Most of these people are prisoners. They are detained all year round in the dark, malnourished, acne-ridden, and have very poor combat capabilities.
Are there no elites?
Of course!
There are five thousand elite troops in Tan City.
But it was in the hands of General Tu Sui.
Tu Sui was also a famous general of the Qin State. He was proficient in the art of war. He fought in the north and south. He had great military exploits and high prestige, but he was not as famous as Wang Jian and Meng Tian.
But he has real talent and knowledge, and his cultivation level is not low.
Therefore, no one can move these five thousand elites except General Tu Sui.
Thus.
Although Han Xin was a hussar general, he was only a bare commander.
He has a lot of plans under his command, and including cooks and grooms, there are only five hundred people.
And the land of Baiyue has a circumference of more than ten thousand miles, and there are dozens of countries in Baiyue. When the soldiers and horses of various small countries are added together, the number is said to be millions!
Although this is just a claim.
But it shows how huge it is.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, Han Xinruo led these 500 men to charge at the enemy in the Land of Baiyue. He could not even withstand a hail of arrows, and it was not enough to fill the gap between the enemy's teeth.
General Tu Sui also knew this.
He and the lieutenants all wanted to see what superb skills this young man named Han Xin had. First he was spotted by the gunman in white, and then he was promoted by His Majesty as an exception.
Everyone wants to see what Han Xin will do.
Let's see if he has real talent or knowledge, or if he has a false reputation.
However, they were disappointed.
After Han Xin arrived at Tancheng, he did not take any action.
I would lock myself in my room all day long, staring at the map on the wall. I would eat when the time came. I would never forget three meals, and I was very good at eating them. I was starving to death.
His actions.
General Tu Sui and others were surprised.
From the first to the third day.
Han Xin walked out of the room with the Pojun Sword hanging on his waist, but he did not go to the front line or inspect the city. Instead, he walked straight to the military supplies warehouse.
The munitions depot contained grain, grass and baggage. It is the money bag of the entire army and the greatest guarantee for the rear.
"Open the door."
Han Xin walked to a warehouse door, stopped, and gave orders to the soldiers guarding the door.
There's a seal on the door.
This place is obviously a top priority and cannot be opened easily.
In fact, veterans with a little experience know that the most important thing in the warehouse is the salary of the entire army. The door will only be opened when the monthly salary is released. It is usually sealed and heavily guarded.
"Haha, it turns out to be General Han Xin."
When the soldier guarding the gate saw that the person coming was Han Xin, he showed a scornful look in his eyes and said with a smile:
"General Han, please do not open the treasury door at will. Please show General Tu's token."
Hear this.
Han Xin suddenly frowned.
He saw the contempt in the soldiers' eyes, and when he saw him, the hussar general, he didn't even salute, but kept asking for tokens.
"Since you know that I am a hussar general, you should know that I have the right to mobilize military supplies and open the door immediately. I don't have to worry about it."
Han Xin's words were solemn, obviously warning the guard.
The soldier shook his head and said with a smile:
"General Han, I'm just a gatekeeper. Without General Tu Sui's token, I can't open the treasury gate. I think you should go back home."
His eyes were full of contempt, wanting Han Xin to make this trip in vain.
Han Xin said with a livid face:
"Let me ask you one last time, can you open this door?"
"Sorry, it can't be opened."
The soldiers did not take Han Xin's words seriously at all.
After all, Han Xin had only been on the front line for a few days. In the eyes of veterans like them, Han Xin was just a polished commander who didn't even have a decent team under him. He was like a tiger without teeth and had no deterrent effect at all.
Groan! !
The roar of the dragon exploded, and the Broken Army Sword was unsheathed.
puff! !
The head of the guard soldier fell to the ground.
Han Xin chopped off the soldier's head with a sword, and then coldly warned the nearby soldiers:
"Your Majesty has personally made me a hussar general. This man ignored my military orders and has been executed by me on the spot. If you are still dissatisfied, he will be your fate!!"
The words are loud and the killing is decisive.
The other veterans guarding the treasury were all stunned in place at this moment, not even daring to breathe.
They originally heard.
This Han Xin was a poor man. He only gained His Majesty's appreciation because of his bad luck and was bumped into by the gunman in white, so no one took him seriously.
But now it seems.
He is by no means as incompetent as the rumors say. On the contrary, this man is bold and ruthless in killing and ruthless. No matter how you look at it, he is not an armchair scholar.
"I don't dare to wait."
"General, the door to the treasury is open."
"General, please use it yourself."
The remaining soldiers were also very knowledgeable and took the initiative to open the door of the treasury and let Han Xin go in to get the supplies.
Several veterans left to report to General Tu Sui.
Han Xin ignored the informant. After all, he had killed the treasury guards. It was normal for them to report to Tu Sui. He had nothing to fear. He immediately sheathed his sword and strode into the treasury.
The materials in the treasury are very rich.
In terms of grain, it is mainly flour, but also rice, sorghum, etc. In terms of ordnance, the main items are sabers, then spears and lances, as well as shields and other items.
Han Xin stopped in front of a box.
This box is made of wood, and the edges and corners are wrapped in tin, which shows that the contents inside are very valuable.
Open the box and take a look.
Inside are white silver ingots, silver bars, and silver cakes.
This is the pay that soldiers crave most.
"Someone, take it away."
Han Xin ordered the followers behind him.
The followers were startled and looked at each other. You looked at me and I looked at you. However, the general had already spoken and they did not dare to disobey. They were worried that they would be killed if they disobeyed, so they immediately began to carry it.
After moving one box, another box was moved.
Han Xin immediately scolded:
"It's enough to move one box. Who asked you to move so much? Put it down for me."
"The villain knows his fault."
The followers trembled.
Soon, a box full of silver was moved into his military camp by Han Xin. Then, he asked his subordinates to call all the soldiers under his command. There were 500 people in total, and it would take a while to get them all.
