Qin Official

Perhaps it was because of its proximity to the sea. At the end of September and late autumn, Canghai City was already as cold as winter. The soldiers wearing summer clothes on the expedition were already shivering from the cold. Fortunately, there were thousands of woolen coats sent to the front line with Hei Fu on the same boat this time. Fine wool from the North and Longxi were sent to Xianyang to be woven into thick clothes, and then sent non-stop to Jiaodong, and each piece was sent to Guanzhong. On the soldier's hand, after putting it on, the chill will disappear immediately.

Officers even have special dog-skin hats with two ear protectors on the hat body. When the weather is cold, the ear protectors can be pulled down close to the face. Now that it is not too cold, you can tie them to the top of the hat. As the black hat was "invented", Husband, it was popular from the north to Jiaodong, and then across the ocean to the peninsula. After a group of generals wore it, they really looked a bit like field army soldiers.

This time, they also planted the flag of the Central Plains south of the 38th parallel...

While the soldiers were busy receiving woolen coats and dog-skin hats, Heifu also communicated with Fusu inside the tent.

"His Majesty's edict is to destroy Canghai Lord before winter. Now that Canghai Lord and his men have escaped, this battle is not over."

Heifu was reminding Fusu that according to Qin Shihuang's character, this battle would never end before cutting off Canghaijun's head.

"The army is no longer able to find the enemy to fight."

What Fu Su said was the truth. Seeing that winter was approaching, going to pursue the enemy in a vast unknown area at this time would undoubtedly lead to death, either in an ambush or from exhaustion, hunger and cold.

In addition, this Canghai City is also at the end of the supply line. With the stop of the southwest monsoon, large-scale transportation of baggage will have to wait until May or June next year. It is undoubtedly impossible to stay in the local area.

Since one battle cannot solve the problem, we can only fight a protracted war, but Fusu is somewhat pessimistic about the future of this war. As outsiders who know nothing about this land, they have lost their geographical advantage. The enemy is cunning and will never fight head-on. Catching their tail is not easy.

"Even if we want to fight again, I'm afraid we have to retreat to Liaodong to rest..."

Compared with Fusu's consideration of morale and soldiers, Heifu's attitude is a bit unkind: Since we came with great difficulty, we can't retreat easily!

"Sir, please look at this map of Haidong drawn in Jiaodong."

Haidong is the name of the peninsula. This map of Haidong, which is said to be "drawn by Xu Fu", is placed on the table. It can be seen from the above that the only civilized country, Jishi Korea, is only a small state with a radius of several hundred miles, with a population of more than 100,000, but it only accounts for a corner of this "three thousand miles of country".

To the east of Korea is "Donghyo", which is a loose tribal alliance. The Hao people are also the main population of Jishi Korea.

In the south of North Korea, there are the "Three Han" tribes, which are short in stature and speak very different languages ​​from the Yi people. The Qin army has recently come into contact with the "Mahan" among them.

Heifu had already heard about this. A few months ago, when Jiaodong sent three ships to cross the sea, a small boat of 300 dendrobium was swept away by the wind and waves. The mast was broken and the rudder failed. It could only be rowed by hand. Driven by the westerly wind, they drifted near the coast of Mahan. Unfortunately, they ran aground on the rocks. A big hole was broken in the hull and seawater continued to pour in.

The crew could only escape in a small boat. Sharks smelled the smell of blood and swarmed around them. The crew used their remaining weapons to repel them. Fortunately, the reef point was not far from the land. Finally, they landed on a deserted coast.

Based on the latitude value determined by the "star-pulling technique" of the general who was good with Wei Yang, they roughly determined their location. Relying on fishing, digging out bird eggs, and hunting, the dozens of survivors survived the most difficult half-month and kept walking north until they finally saw the smoke.

They visited a small tribe of Mahan people.

Although the Mahan people are primitive and ignorant, they make a living by fishing and hunting. It is best to eat octopus legs raw and roast the meat on hot stones, which looks very barbaric. But deep down, they were docile, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. The Mahan people did not attack the Qin people, but were very interested in the crew's clothes and weapons.

After the two sides rowed together, the crew members exchanged their clothes for some food and animal skins, and under the guidance of the Mahan people, returned north by land. Because there was no map, everyone took the wrong path. They even walked around a mountain for half a month before coming out. They looked like savages.

On the way, they also encountered a group migrating south from Canghai City. The crew could only hold their breath to avoid it, but they caught the stragglers. They turned out to be scholars who had escaped from Qidi more than ten years ago, and they spoke the same language.

This was the first time the crew heard Xia Yan in months. Unexpectedly, he was an enemy. It was really dumbfounding.

After asking, they found out that the Qin Dynasty army was approaching Canghai City and was not far from here...

The more than 40 people who survived finally found the boatman patrolling near the coast after going around seven times and eight times, after many hardships. When we found them, they were all skinny and waving their arms desperately on the beach. One of the seven-foot-tall men even cried on the spot.

Thinking about it afterwards, all the stories these people experienced in four months could be compiled into an overseas adventure...

Thanks to the information provided by the crew, Heifu and the others were able to mark the word "Mahan" on the southern part of the map.

"Canghaijun ran between Dongyi and Mahan, but he didn't go too far."

Pointing to the area east of Ganghwa Island, Heifu knew that this was the Han River Basin in later generations, called "Seoul", and later changed to Seoul...

The general range can be determined, but no one knows where it is specifically. But what is certain is that once the Qin army evacuates in a hurry, Canghaijun will be able to make a comeback.

"At that time, he can spread the word in Haidong and repel the Qin army without spending a single soldier. His reputation will definitely be great. With the help of people from the six countries, I am afraid that Lord Canghai will dominate Dongyi and Sanhan in the future... "

Not only did it fail to stamp out the "rebellion", but it allowed them to become even more powerful and create a new regime on the peninsula that was hostile to the Central Plains at an early stage.

"The supervisor means that the army will be stationed on this island?"

Fusu frowned. Although the supplies were sufficient, no one knew the state of this army better than Fusu: a powerful crossbow cannot penetrate the silk! The soldiers' physical strength, energy, and morale have all been exhausted during the past six months of hiking.

Ying Xiao, who was sweating a lot, warned him. Even the zealous Guan Zhong soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the war would not start, and began to optimistically consider going home.

The morale of the Qin army has long been exhausted.

If we tell them now that they have to spend the winter here and cannot go home until Canghaijun is destroyed, it will only be a matter of time before the camp roars for the second time...

But Hei Fu shook his head: "Although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is isolated and isolated in the sea with a large army stationed there. It is like a tree without roots or water without a source. It cannot last long."

Furthermore, the sea lanes around Ganghwa Island are narrow, and every time you enter or leave, you have to be wary. In the past month, the navy has hit the rocks and damaged two ships. This is definitely not a good place to garrison troops. Well, Incheon at the mouth of the Han River on the other side is not bad, but it is a pity. It is still a tidal flat, and it is not possible to build a Tianjin Port Fortress from scratch...

So Heifu's idea was to abandon this place and let the army return to North Korea and stay at Liekou.

"In this way, firstly, Ji's North Korea can be deterred nearby; secondly, during the months when supplies are not available, North Korea's offerings can be eaten; thirdly, once spring comes next year, Lord Canghai leads his troops back to the island, and the army can also Rely on the boat division to carry it and head south quickly!"

"Stand at Liekou..."

Fusu pondered: "After all, it is a Korean city. I'm afraid the Ji family will not be willing to borrow it for a long time."

Heifu disagreed. Although Fusu had won a good reputation in Wangxian City, in the real diplomatic field, he was still too soft-hearted. After all, he was still too "gentleman".

It is precisely because of this that a gentleman can bully others...

"Son."

Heifu became serious. Although Fusu had undergone some changes and was much more cooperative than before, but now it seemed that he had to teach Fusu a new lesson.

"A weak country has no diplomacy!"

"The supervisor's words are reasonable, but..."

Fusu Moran, what he is really worried about is that the Qin army has lost the right time and place, and is in a dilemma. Only Ji's North Korea was friendly and willing to give up roads and borrow land. They also sent their subordinate Yi officials to lead the crowd to help the Qin army transport grain and fodder.

Fusu was afraid that once North Korea regarded the Qin army's actions as an invasion, their "harmony" would be gone. At that time, if another enemy was established, how would the Qin army gain a foothold in Haidong?

But Hei Fu disagreed: "I think Ji's father and his son are willing to accept the hard and not the soft. This was the case with the Zhou family in the past, and the same with the Yan country. Being too polite to them will make them think that a big country can be bullied!"

A few months ago, if there were no naval vessels to shield North Korea from overseas and make people intimidated, even if Fusu behaved in a gentle and aristocratic manner, it would probably not have much effect.

He said: "In this way, when the time comes, the young master will still only be a good person and respond with his poems. As for the bad guy, I will be the one!"

Heifu smiled, showing his big white teeth: "After all, even though I have a dark face, I look like a bad person!"
