"The king is right, the court is obviously a little arrogant this time!"

General Deng He also laughed.

The two of them looked relaxed, completely without the fear of the enemy!

"Arrogant? How do you say this?"

Zhao Tuo was confident of blocking the troops sent by the imperial court, but he did not feel that the imperial court was acting arrogantly.

"The imperial court has sent a team called Flying Eagle. Does your Majesty know how many people there are in this team?"

Deng He asked instead without answering.

"How many?"

"Three thousand!"

"How many?"

Zhao Tuo didn't seem to hear clearly. He suddenly sat up straight and asked with a frown.

"The imperial court sent a total of three thousand people, and the general is the youngest son of Ying Zheng!"

Deng He told all the information reported by the spies.

"Haha...! Three thousand people want to defeat my Lingnan army of 100,000 people? Is that old guy Ying Zheng confused?"

Zhao Tuo suddenly laughed loudly, "Let alone sending a young master, even if Wuchenghou Wang Jian personally leads the troops, those three thousand people will be in vain!"

Just now he thought he heard it wrong, but he didn't expect it was actually three thousand people.

Based on his understanding of Ying Zheng, he thought he would have to send at least 200,000 troops, but he didn't expect that only 3,000 troops were sent!

"Haha, it seems that young master has offended Ying Zheng!"

Otherwise, how could he be allowed to come to die?

No wonder Deng He said that the imperial court was too arrogant this time. It turned out that he only sent 3,000 people to defeat his 100,000-strong army.

"If I remember correctly, Ying Zheng's youngest son should be only eleven or twelve, right? Does he have any experience in leading troops? If he is not protected, he will not even be able to enter our Lingnan territory!"

After saying that, Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes again, lay down comfortably on the backrest, and let the charming concubine feed him lychees.

"Your Majesty, according to the spies' report, this young master has not offended Ying Zheng, but is actually Ying Zheng's most beloved child. Moreover, this Flying Eagle team is not from the imperial court, but is the young master's soldiers. One thousand of them are

Among the people selected from the military camp, two thousand people were recruited from the private sector!"

"What?"

After hearing what Deng He said, Zhao Tuo seemed to have heard something incredible.

"Your Majesty, Ying Zheng sent a group of rabble here. Is it because there is no one in the court, or is he sincerely mocking you?"

Even the concubine on the side felt ridiculous after hearing this.

"What is the plan of this old guy Ying Zheng? Send one of his most beloved sons with three thousand soldiers? Is this to give me a proton?"

"When Lingnan was still Baiyue, there were aboriginal people here and there was no Central Plains culture. The court also spent a lot of effort. Now it sends three thousand soldiers to take back Lingnan. Are you dreaming?"

Zhao Tuo really doesn't know whether to be angry or laugh now.

Ying Zheng's mysterious operation really confused him.

"Your Majesty, it seems to me that Ying Zheng is very old now and his brain is not functioning properly, so he is letting that young master do whatever he wants!"

Deng He didn't take those three thousand people seriously either.

Not to mention the geographical location of Lingnan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the climate alone is enough for those from Xianyang to drink a pot!

By then it will be so hot that you won’t have the strength to fight?

"Haha, then let them make trouble and proceed as planned!"

"yes!"

Deng He accepted the order and turned around to go down.

This time Zhao Tuo lay directly in the concubine's arms, eating tofu from time to time!

As early as when he decided to establish himself as king, he had already deployed various entrances to Lingnan.

As long as there was any movement from the imperial court, they would immediately send troops to block the imperial army outside Lingnan.

…

The Flying Eagles led by Xiao Zhengtai moved very quickly. They set out from Hengshan County and arrived in Lingnan within ten days.

"Stop the troops and reorganize, bury the pot and make rice!"

After giving the order, Xiao Zhengtai picked up the map, called Zhang Liang, Wang Li, Peng Yue and Han Xin together and began to study the route!

This is a map hand-drawn by Ko Shota. Where there are hills and ravines, they are clearly marked, and the miasma-containing forests are also circled.

"Yingbu, take people to find water, boil the herbs, and give each soldier a bowl!"

"okay!"

Yingbu got the order and went to do it immediately.

"etc……!"

However, Xiao Zhengtai stopped him again, "You don't even ask what kind of herb it is, why do you need to cook it?"

"No need to ask, my brother told me before I came here. When working under the young master, just remember to obey!"

Yingbu replied sternly.

"OK!"

Little Shota grinned.

This is what he told every soldier before leaving, just to prevent them from becoming impatient and ruining things!

Yingbu moved very quickly. In a short while, dozens of large pots were filled with water, and the herbs were poured in bags by bags!

After the herbs were boiled, the other soldiers were similar to him. They took the bowl filled with herbs and drank them all without asking any questions without any hesitation!

The young master treats them like brothers, so he will definitely not harm them!

"The climate in Lingnan is hot and there is miasma in many forests. After drinking these herbs, it will be no big deal even if you enter the miasma forest!"

Although they didn't ask, Xiao Zhengtai still explained it.

"Oh? That's good. I'll drink more! Hehe!"

Yingbu said that he was about to go to Sheng.

"No! This is herbal medicine. Drinking too much will harm your health. You think it is fine wine. If you drink two more bowls, you will get sick!"

Xiao Zhengtai gave him a blank look.

He so quickly forgot what he just said he would obey!

"Hey! I'm a rough guy, so don't blame me, young master!"

Yingbu smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, it's still early now, let's rest where we are and wait until nightfall to enter Lingnan!"

"There are high mountains here, and the pass is located just between the two mountains. There are cliffs on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

After everyone drank the anti-miasma herbs, Shota took out the map and showed it to everyone.

"What should we do?"

Looking at the location of the pass on the map, Yingchi felt worried.

It's not that he doesn't dare to attack the city, it's that he's afraid of wasting all his time here!

Once the city gate cannot be captured, they will not be able to enter Lingnan!

"What else can we do? Cold salad...!"

Xiaoshota smiled calmly and continued: "The reason why we attack at night is to set up traps under the cover of darkness!"

According to inquiries, there are at least 20,000 soldiers and horses at this pass, and another 20,000 people are stationed thirty miles away.

As long as a signal is sent here, people from thirty miles away will immediately come to support!

It's no problem for the Flying Eagles to defeat ten against one, but if 40,000 people suppress them together, it will be very difficult to handle!

So he was going to let the ground buds work and blow them all off their feet!

"Place a trap?"

The soldiers immediately became interested, and their eyes were shining brightly.

I have only heard of the defenders setting traps for the siegeers before, but this is the first time I heard that the siegeers should set traps!

"That's right, we were very ostentatious when we set off for the expedition. According to my estimation, Zhao Tuo should have received the news by now!"
