Chapter 763 Ying Zheng issues an edict
A minister stepped forward tremblingly, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have already raised the banner of rebellion in Dazexiang. They are fighting under the banner of Xiang Yan and are advancing with unstoppable momentum. People from all over the country have responded and have now occupied many cities."
Meanwhile, Xiang Liang also raised an army in Kuaiji Commandery, gathering eight thousand soldiers and expanding his power in various places.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes resolute, and said, "Issue my decree: summon Zhang Han!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard His Majesty call out Zhang Han's name.
Wasn't the call for Meng Tian to come back?
Or perhaps we could have Zhao Tuo of Nanyue bring the Qin army back.
How can we get Meng Tian back?
I don't understand it, I really don't understand it.
But they dared not ask!
Not long after, Zhang Han arrived.
Upon seeing the First Emperor, Zhang Han immediately bowed in respect.
He was a huge fan of the First Emperor. If the First Emperor called him that, it must mean he thought highly of him!
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Han, I order you to go to Nanyue immediately and have Ren Xiao hand over military power to you. Then you and Zhao Tuo will lead 200,000 Qin troops to wipe out the remnants of the six states."
Zhang Han was startled. Was this some serious game?
Shouldn't Yang Duanhe, Meng Tian, or Meng Yi have been sent to lead these 20 Qin troops?
Should we bring him?
Isn't that giving him too much credit?
........................
Why did the First Emperor send Zhao Tuo?
It's because we knew this person would seize power.
Even though he was there, they dared not!
However, Ying Zheng would still take precautions!
So Zhao Tuo was transferred away.
At this time, Zhao Tuo did not yet control so many troops; the army was mainly under Ren Xiao's command.
Ren Xiao was not famous in the war against the six states, but his rank was comparable to that of Meng Tian. After Qin unified the six states, it began to conquer the Baiyue in the south. Ren Xiao led his troops to attack Lingnan. In 214 BC, the Qin army occupied the Lingnan region and established the three commanderies of Nanhai, Guilin and Xiang.
He said he died during the Central Plains War.
Ren Xiao had a subordinate named Zhao Tuo, and it was Ren Xiao who handed over military power to Zhao Tuo before his death.
So knowing that he would die soon, they didn't transfer him away; they just transferred Zhao Tuo instead.
After all, he left 500,000 Qin troops in Nanyue!
"Your Majesty, I...I'm afraid it's not feasible," Zhang Han said with a wry smile.
Ying Zheng said, "What, you don't want to give it a try?"
"Your Majesty, what should we do about Nanyue?" Zhang Han couldn't help but ask.
After all, is it feasible to mobilize 200,000 Qin troops at once?
"I will issue an edict and send Wang Li to oversee the southern Yue region!"
Upon hearing this arrangement, Zhang Han said nothing more: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly not fail in my mission."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "This mission is arduous. Although the remnants of the six states are not capable of great things, we must not be careless. You and Zhao Tuo need to cooperate closely and finish this battle quickly."
He believed that with him present, Zhao Tuo wouldn't dare to cause trouble!
This is the confidence of the First Emperor!
........................
Zhang Han clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will certainly fight alongside General Zhao to wipe out those rebels in one fell swoop."
Ying Zheng gazed into the distance, as if he could see the future of the Qin Dynasty: "I want the world to know that the majesty of the Qin Dynasty is inviolable, and anyone who dares to resist will be crushed."
After receiving the imperial decree, Zhang Han immediately set off for Nanyue. Along the way, he pondered how to cooperate with Zhao Tuo and how to formulate a battle plan, determined to make unparalleled contributions to the Qin Dynasty and live up to the First Emperor's trust.
After all, he was leading 200,000 Qin troops, which was a large-scale military operation.
Zhang Han secretly vowed to ensure that the Qin dynasty's rule would be as stable as Mount Tai, and that no one would be allowed to violate it.
To repay His Majesty's kindness in recognizing and recognizing my talent!
However, right after Zhang Han left, the other ministers began to discuss among themselves, and they were very puzzled as to why Zhang Han was sent on the expedition instead of Yang Duanhe.
After all, Yang Duanhe was a famous general who was on par with Wang Jian!
He also had a resounding nickname – “The Ever-Victorious General”, which meant that he had never tasted defeat in his long military career.
This is truly an undefeated general!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's a younger version of Wang Jian!
Of course, Yang Duanhe may have been slightly less insightful than Wang Jian, which is why he was relegated to a subordinate position.
However, his military talent should not be underestimated.
During the attack on the State of Zhao, Yang Duanhe successfully besieged Handan and ultimately achieved victory, his contribution being second only to the person who made the greatest contribution.
