Chapter 830

Seeing Ying Zheng was originally prepared to conquer the strongest Nanyue first, and then gradually solve the State of Minyue and the State of Dong'ou.

But because of those intelligence from Su Xuan, he changed his mind.

Decided to conquer the State of Minyue first.

The reason for this was because the State of Minyue was the easiest state to solve for the Qin Guo.

The reason was that many years ago, the State of Chu and the State of Han joined forces to conquer the State of Minyue.

In the land of Baiyue, tribes were mixed, and there were three powerful states. Among them, Nanyue was a genuine indigenous person, while Minyue and Dong'ou were not. They were states established by the descendants of the King of Yue, Goujian.

A hundred years ago, when Wujiang, the sixth-generation grandson of King Goujian of Yue, was on the throne, the capital Wu was broken by the Chu army, Wujiang died in battle, and the State of Yue was destroyed.

After the State of Yue was destroyed, many descendants of Goujian fought fiercely for orthodoxy, or were lords, or were kings, but in name, these people all surrendered to the State of Chu.

Until many years ago, Lord Chunshen was enfeoffed in the land of Jiangdong.

Lord Chunshen was one of the four lords of the Warring States period. Although he was not as good as Lord Xinling, he was also a very talented person. He united with the State of Han to conquer Baiyue, cleaned up these so-called lords one by one, and incorporated them into the State of Chu.

This was also the origin of that battle of Baiyue in the past.

However, although there was the joint conquest of Minyue by the State of Chu and the State of Han.

But Minyue did not perish because of this.

Facing the army of the State of Chu and the State of Han, the Minyue royal court at that time fled. They fled far into the mountains and forests and re-established the Minyue dynasty, taking the first king Wuzou as their surname, numbered Zou. The contemporary King of Minyue was named Zou Wuzhu, who could be considered a fairly talented monarch.

And the reason that truly made Seeing Ying Zheng decide to conquer Minyue first, besides the fact that Minyue had been conquered by the Han and Chu states in the past and its national power was relatively weak, was also because Seeing Ying Zheng found out that the State of Minyue was in constant civil strife.

If he could take advantage of the civil strife in Minyue to destroy it first and directly occupy a piece of territory in the land of Baiyue, then it would become very easy to destroy the states of Nanyue and Dong'ou.

Especially the place where the State of Minyue was located was already adjacent to the State of Nanyue and the State of Dong'ou.

The Qin army set off from Yuzhang and soon arrived in the land of Minbei.

The Min land had always been a closed place since ancient times. It was surrounded and shrouded by high mountains and steep ridges on all sides. Even in later generations, if one wanted to enter the Min land, there were only four roads: one from Jiangxi through the Chong'an Fen Shui Pass into Min, one from Zhejiang through the Xianxia Ridge into Pucheng, one from Jiangxi Meiling into Minxi Ninghua, and the last road was by water, entering Fuzhou from the sea.

The general of the Qin Guo conquering Baiyue this time was "Li Xin"!

Because there was no failure in conquering Chu, Li Xin was deeply trusted by Seeing Ying Zheng. In addition, the Wang family had too much merit, and Seeing Ying Zheng also intended to cultivate other generals, so he constantly gave opportunities to Meng Tian, Li Xin, and others.

Earlier, the Battle of Loulan was when Meng Tian led the Golden Fire Cavalry to go.

And this time conquering Baiyue, Seeing Ying Zheng appointed Li Xin as the main general, and the deputy generals were Tu Sui and Ren Xiao.

It could be said that besides Li Xin, Tu Sui and Ren Xiao were actually the generals of Seeing Ying Zheng conquering Baiyue in the original history. In the original history, Tu Sui was the main general. After he died in conquering Baiyue, Ren Xiao took over his position and led Zhao Tuo to destroy Baiyue.

Later, Ren Xiao also died. Zhao Tuo guarded the land of Baiyue. After the Qin Guo was destroyed, he even declared himself king, numbered the King of Baiyue, and was arrogant.

After stepping into the land of Minbei.

The road ahead was somewhat difficult to walk, all were high mountains and steep ridges, and the State of Minyue was hidden in these mountains.

If it were the Li Xin of the past, he would not care how difficult the mountain road was, and would directly let the army attack, opening mountains when meeting mountains, and crossing water when meeting water. But because Seeing Ying Zheng had given some orders before coming.

Li Xin also restrained the arrogance in his heart and very seriously asked someone who accompanied the army for advice.

"Miss Yan Lingji, how should we proceed next?"

Yan Lingji was wearing a fiery red dress, her appearance was extremely beautiful, and she seemed somewhat out of place with this group of people in the army.

But Li Xin did not have any intention of looking down on Yan Lingji.

Not only because Yan Lingji's strength was strong, but also because she was... the State Preceptor's person!

Even if the State Preceptor had now taken a boat out to sea to seek the immortal way for His Majesty the Emperor, the State Preceptor's person was not someone he could easily offend. If His Majesty the Emperor knew that he offended Yan Lingji, he could not afford the crime.

Yan Lingji pondered for a while and said: "The army will temporarily camp outside the forest and wilderness. I need to go to Minyue first and find someone!"

"If I can persuade that person, perhaps I can find a helper for us!"

"Oh?"

Li Xin looked at Yan Lingji with some surprise, but Yan Lingji did not explain too much.

The sea was vast, and the blue waves were ten thousand miles away.

The Mirage was sailing on the sea.

This ship gathered the strength of the Mohist School and the Gongshu School. Its speed was fast, and it was also very stable.

After setting off, Su Xuan stayed beside the divine tree Fusang day and night.

He tried to use the Enlightenment Technique to enlighten the divine tree Fusang.

However, the technique was one thing, but it was not so easy to truly perform it. The divine tree Fusang was too old and too powerful. This tree contained extremely powerful power. After Su Xuan's magic power poured into the body of the divine tree Fusang, it was like a stone sinking into the sea without any echo. He gradually understood why this divine tree had only such weak wisdom after thousands of years.

The overly powerful power limited it from opening its wisdom.

Perhaps after Su Xuan becomes an immortal, it is possible to open wisdom for the divine tree Fusang, but now, it is not possible.

Therefore, Su Xuan's idea of letting the divine tree Fusang transform and have a follower with an extraordinary background fell through.

After giving up enlightening the divine tree Fusang, he began to exert another function of the divine tree Fusang, relying on the connection between the divine tree Fusang and another corresponding tree to locate the location of the Penglai immortal island and find the location of the Penglai immortal island.

Although he still hadn't found the Penglai immortal island, nor had he entered the sea area recorded in that turtle shell, with the help of the divine tree Fusang, Su Xuan did indeed find the specific direction.

The Mirage kept moving forward in that direction, but I don't know how many days it would take to step into that sea area.
