Chapter 527: A madman who ignores the consequences!

~7 min read 1,278 words

On the Central Plains.

While Su Xuan and the others were still drifting on the sea, the Qin State’s war against Regarding Baiyue was becoming increasingly intense.

The land of Regarding Baiyue consisted of three kingdoms.

Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou.

These three kingdoms were hidden in deep mountains and old forests, all located in places with towering mountains and steep ridges, and the forests were filled with poisonous miasma and complex terrain. Even with hundreds of thousands of troops, it was extremely difficult for the Qin State to crusade against the three kingdoms hidden in the deep mountains. After all, in forest warfare, having more people is not an advantage.

The art of war says: Do not enter the forest!

No one knows what dangers are hidden in the forest, or what one might encounter.

This was also the reason why the Regarding Baiyue kingdoms did not fear the Qin army. They had been rooted in the forests for generations and were very familiar with this forest. No matter how many troops the Qin State had, this was their world. If the Qin army dared to step into it, they would definitely ensure they never returned.

At first, the three Regarding Baiyue kingdoms all thought this way.

They even hoped that the Qin State would take the initiative to step into the forest to fight them.

But the caution of the Qin State exceeded their expectations.

After arriving in the northern part of Min, they did not directly step into the forest, which made Zou Zou Wuzhu, the king of Minyue who was closest to the Qin army, feel uncomfortable, and also made the Nanyue and Dongou kingdoms, which had been in a wait-and-see state, become wary.

Just as they were being wary, suddenly, the Qin army marched into the forest.

It was as if the previous short stay was just making final preparations, and now that many preparations were complete, it was time to march.

Although the Qin army’s actions left the Minyue kingdom stunned for a long time, this was exactly what they wanted.

The forest was their territory.

For the Qin army to take the initiative to step into the forest to fight them was truly seeking their own death.

Even without them having to do anything, the poisonous miasma, poisonous insects, and fierce beasts in the forest were enough to make these Qin people, who had never fought in the forest, suffer.

But the fact was, the Qin army was fully prepared.

Facing the poisonous miasma and poisonous insects in the forest, the Qin army prepared a large amount of antidote, and even had people clear the way with insect repellent. Wherever the medicine was sprinkled, poisonous insects did not invade, and the poisonous fog did not have any impact on the Qin people.

In addition, there were machines manufactured by the Qin people, operated by specialized personnel, advancing forward.

Wherever they passed, the trees in the forest were broken, and the roads were cleared.

By this method, the Qin people forcibly opened a road in the deep mountains and old forests.

This was an extremely incredible thing.

Although there were many towering mountains and steep ridges in the land of Regarding Baiyue, the territory was only so large. Although the Qin army’s advance speed was slightly slower because of clearing the way, this move was extremely steady.

If the Qin army were allowed to clear the way slowly like this, without any obstacles, it would not be long before they reached the capital of the Minyue kingdom, which was an unacceptable thing for the King of Minyue.

Therefore, he no longer relied on the complex environment of the forest to trap the Qin army and began to order the Minyue soldiers to take the initiative to attack the Qin army.

They occupied the forest and launched attacks on the Qin army day and night.

They did not expect to kill how many Qin soldiers at once; as long as they had gains each time, it was enough. And if the Qin army took the initiative to meet them, they would retreat first and flee into the vast forest.

If the Qin army did not pursue, they would continue to harass the Qin army. Once they pursued, it was exactly what they wanted; they hoped that the Qin army would take the initiative to divide their troops.

No matter how many people the Qin army had, as long as they divided their troops, they could use their familiarity with the forest to defeat them all one by one.

At first, the people of Minyue used this "guerrilla warfare" method to indeed cause some trouble for the Qin army. After seeing the results, the King of Minyue, Zou Zou Wuzhu, who was hiding in the capital of Minyue, could not help but be smug.

The Qin people who unified the Central Plains were nothing more than this!

However, he had not been smug for too long.

The Minyue kingdom began to fall into chaos.

The literal meaning.

The bandits and outlaws in Minyue began to constantly harass various government offices.

The Minyue kingdom was a descendant of the Yue kingdom and could be considered to have been passed down from the Central Plains. Unlike the Nanyue kingdom, which still existed in a tribal way, Minyue and Dongou not only had their own capitals but also had many supporting bureaucratic institutions. Although they looked very simple and somewhat similar, the existence of these institutions indeed made the king’s royal power more stable and allowed the king’s orders to be better conveyed to the local areas.

But now, these bandits and outlaws were harassing the government offices, making it impossible for the King of Minyue’s orders to reach the local areas, and even the military orders he sent to the Minyue soldiers were intercepted.

The King of Minyue had the power of a king, but his orders could not be conveyed.

This made him extremely angry.

He certainly knew who did it.

In the palace, the King of Minyue, Zou Zou Wuzhu, was extremely angry, "Master Tian Ze!"

Over the years, the Minyue kingdom had been in constant turmoil, and the cause of everything was the deposed crown prince Master Tian Ze, who had luckily survived.

For this half-brother of his, Zou Zou Wuzhu was extremely disdainful; he was just a person with courage but no strategy.

At that time, he only used a small trick to make his father abolish the other’s crown prince position, and the other became an abandoned pawn.

And he became the new crown prince of the Minyue kingdom, and after his father died, he became the King of Minyue.

However, Zou Zou Wuzhu never expected that Master Tian Ze had not died.

Ten years later, he returned to Minyue again.

Although many people in Minyue had forgotten the existence of Master Tian Ze, with powerful means, Master Tian Ze still raised a large rebel army in Minyue. Over the years, they acted as bandits and constantly stirred up turmoil in the Minyue kingdom.

Even though Zou Zou Wuzhu constantly sent people to quell the rebellion, there was no result. The existence of Master Tian Ze was like a sharp thorn, deeply stuck in Zou Zou Wuzhu’s heart.

Zou Zou Wuzhu never expected that the other party would take the opportunity to stir up a rebellion at this time.

Didn’t Master Tian Ze know that this move would benefit those Qin people?

No, he knew it from the beginning, but he chose to do so.

He was a madman!

A madman who ignores the consequences and ignores any price to take revenge!
