Strictly speaking, Zhao Kang's promotion strategy is to continuously reduce the enemy's range of activities and force the enemy to fight with him. In the mountains and forests, the most important resources, including salt, water, food, etc. Zhao Kang wanted to send soldiers to occupy these areas, so that the enemy had no supplies and could not continue to survive. He even wanted to intercept several important water sources to limit his enemies.

If Zhao Kuo was here, he might feel very familiar when he saw what Zhao Kang did... Zhao Kang approached step by step, and the counties behind him continued to send civilians to build infrastructure. Zhao Kang fought against the enemy in this way. Roads appeared in the originally occupied areas, and civilians from Chu built roads here so that food could be delivered to the Northern Army in time.

The harassment of the Yue people did not have much impact on the Northern Army. Zhao Kang had no intention of taking the initiative to attack them at all. He just forced the other side by occupying the resource land, which made the Yue people fall into a passive situation. At the same time, a large number of wars broke out in part. The Song led the elite Yue people to launch several large-scale harassment tactics against civilians and men to destroy the newly built road stations, but this action was still very risky.

If they encounter ambush from the Northern Army, the casualties will be very heavy, and different voices will appear among the Yue people. Some people hope to withdraw from here and escape to the southwest... They are very scared and would rather give up their hometown than continue to fight with the Northern Army. However, the Song Song disagrees with this statement. If they leave here, many areas in the southwest will not support so many Yue people.

The environment there is even wilder than the Baiyue Land today, and humans cannot survive there at all. This is why ancient civilizations were not born there. They are on both sides, but they do not, and they are not even affected. The main reason is that it is too wilderness and is not suitable for living... It is not that it is not suitable, it is that it cannot live. The primitive rainforest here can swallow everyone coming.

If you want to live, you can only drive out these invaders who attacked your hometown, but this is not easy. In order to adapt to mountain wars, Zhao Kang came up with many strategies to deal with these difficult-to-find Yue people. Zhao Kang has always been a commander who is good at learning. He saw a lot of things from Yue people's mountain wars. First of all, Yue people fight, not a rash attack. You must investigate the surrounding terrain in advance, and then occupy the high ground before starting the battle. Secondly, because the mountains are inconvenient to transport, most of their soldiers carry their own supplies.

In addition, their soldiers also carried ropes, iron balls and other items. They would quickly escape or enter the battlefield by climbing, etc. At the same time, they would tie their legs and hands with the skin of livestock to facilitate climbing and walking in the mountains... Zhao Kang thought for a while and drew out 6,000 soldiers from the southern part of his army, with agile figure and able to adapt to the local climate.

Immediately, he began to reorganize the army according to the requirements of the mountain, changed their training content, and began to teach them to carry out rock climbing, mountain marching, garrisoning, self-rescue, and fighting against the climate... Zhao Kang wanted to form an army that could fight strongly with the Yue people in the mountains, and Wang Ben and Tu Sui from both sides also formed three thousand mountain combat soldiers under his influence and began training.

During this period, the war between the Yue and Qin people never stopped. Both sides fought continuously in the mountains and forests. Zhao Kang was sitting in his tent. He actually picked up paper and pen and started writing. His handwriting was very ugly and he could not quote the classics... He wrote: "In order to adapt to different terrain and different environments, the army must be divided and more detailed combat troops... Through the combination of various soldiers, an army that can adapt to different regions is built..."

Zhao Kang's idea included grassland troops, snow troops, mountain troops divided according to different terrain, field battles, public security, transportation, etc. divided according to different responsibilities, and multi-faceted cooperation in the construction of the army with greater cooperation... Just as Zhao Kang was busy with his own ideas, the war had lasted for more than half a year, and Qin was still advancing slowly. The Yue people kept retreating, and many tribes were forced to migrate, and the rest were occupied by Qin.

During the advancement process, Wang Ben's contribution was the greatest. He captured nearly 60,000 Yue people, destroyed several large tribes, and promoted the most. Although Zhao Kang turned down Dongyue, there were not many prisoners. As for Tu Sui, this man was decisive and in order to end the war earlier and prevent greater casualties from the Northern Army, he killed nearly 60,000 to 70,000 Yue people when attacking tribes such as Nanyue.

We have said that the Baiyue population is about 500,000, and so far, Baiyue has lost two-fifths of its population... Tu Sui is not cruel, but his soldiers died here for no reason due to disease and climate, which made him unwilling to let the soldiers stay here. He wanted to end the war earlier, so he adopted the most direct method to kill. Therefore, his advancement speed was the fastest and the area occupied was not large, but he was already the army that penetrated the deepest into the enemy territory.

When General Tu Sui destroyed Nanyue and approached the Xiou border, Yi Xusong, the leader, could no longer bear it. He hurriedly summoned his ministers and began to discuss the war. Zhao Kang was still far away from him, but Tu Sui was close to him, and he had no way to destroy the rear. The enemy had already been killed in front of them, leaving them with no way out.

"General, the current solution is to give up here. Our soldiers are less than 50,000... Tu Sui's army is countless, and we are not their opponents. We must leave here temporarily and make plans." A minister suggested that the Northern Army would go on an expedition, and the civilians who were responsible for transportation and construction of roads were followed by the civilians who were responsible for transportation and road construction. Of course, these people were also considered by the Yue people as soldiers of Qin. Tu Sui's northern army had less than 30,000, but the civilians who were responsible for logistics could reach 60,000 to 70,000.

What's more, Zhao Kang could send support at any time, and the Yue people had almost no choice but to face Tu Sui.

Before Song Yusong could speak, Jie Jun couldn't help but say, "The mountains here are rugged. If the enemy wants to attack, they must give up their horses, chariots, and fight on foot. If we give up here, then after they come in, they will definitely find a way to get the horses over from other mountain roads and use them to chase us. Why should we give up the most favorable terrain to fight them on the flat ground?"

Translation Sou Song nodded thoughtfully. My younger brother said right. The battle situation has reached this point. He can only fight head-on with the enemy. He must not retreat any longer. He thought for a long time, and asked the ministers to stop talking, stood up, and said seriously: "You can't retreat again! Jiejun! You take the old and young tribes to leave here. You have to take them to a safe place and let them hide. If I win, you can bring them back. If I lose, you can continue to go south..."

"Brother?" Jie Jun widened his eyes and said, "You are not as good as me in combating these things. Why don't you let me fight? Are you taking them to retreat? You are no match for the Qin people at all..."

Yi Xusong frowned, stared at him, and said seriously: "I will bring the warriors from various tribes to fight in this battle. If I cannot be united, I will be defeated more thoroughly. Do you have the prestige to command the tribes?"

"Then let me follow you and let me help you!"

"No, I can't put all my hopes on a war... You have to take the rest of the people away... If I die in battle, I don't want to have no one to bury me...", Yi Xu Song was particularly determined this time, and he immediately made another arrangement. The older soldiers in the general were drawn out separately, and asked his younger brother to take the rest of the young people and the tribe's people to separate.

Jie Jun was particularly dissatisfied with his brother's arrangement, but he could not disobey his orders. He quickly left the place with the tribes, but thought in his heart that after they had arranged them, he would take the rest of the troops back and forth. Translation and Song took the army of 30,000 people directly to the dangerous road into Xiou, waiting for the enemy's road. The road here was very dangerous, and in some places he could only accommodate two people. If he was stationed here, the attacking party would have a headache.

General Tu Sui slowly advanced, and at the same time sent his own mountain army to explore the surrounding terrain. The young man in charge of the investigation called Ren Xiao. This was a mature and steady general who could not tell his age from his appearance. He was calm and silent and could fulfill Tu Sui's orders well, so he was deeply trusted by Tu Sui. When Ren Xiao was exploring ahead, he encountered Yi Xusong's army. The two sides fought for a moment, and Ren Xiao retreated.

His mission was not to defeat the enemies in front of him, but to inquire about their intelligence. When he brought the enemy's deployment back, Tu Sui stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and began to think seriously. If he forced the attack, it would be a big price. He thought about it again and again and called the several lieutenants he trusted the most. The general had already had a plan to defeat the enemy.

"The enemies this time are different from before. They are numerous, and they occupy the most important mountain passes. If they attack for a strong force, they will probably have to pay a huge price. For these people, I can't bear to kill and injured a Northern Army soldier..." Tu Sui narrowed his eyes. He was a pure general. He loved his soldiers like Zhao Kuo, but he could do anything to protect his soldiers, and Zhao Kuo could not do it.

General Tu Sui fought along the way, in order to end the war as soon as possible and protect his soldiers, so he secretly disobeyed military orders and killed all the Yue people with strong resistance. Regardless of whether they were able to resist, he wanted to minimize the casualty rate of the war. After discovering that the enemy was guarding the important road, he looked at his subordinates and his eyes finally fell on Ren Xiao.

"Xiao... you bring your elite..." Tu Sui quickly stated his arrangements, and then he let the army station here without continuing to move forward. When he learned that the enemy had arrived, he personally led his soldiers to strengthen the garrison of several mountain passes. The mountains and forests here were cliffs and cliffs, hundreds of feet high, and the mountain roads were narrow and narrow, only one person was allowed. The Yue people were condescending, and the Qin people were helpless.

This was the best defensive place he thought. At night, Ren Xiao began to take his mountain elites and act according to General Tu Sui's arrangement. They selected dozens of the most elite soldiers, carried iron balls, and spread the mountain as a road. They climbed up the mountain at night, and then used cloth bags to pull up the elite soldiers at the foot of the mountain. This lasted for a long time. Hundreds of soldiers went up the mountain, and Ren Xiao let them hide everywhere and not act rashly.

The next day, just dawn, General Tu Sui launched an attack directly. When both sides were about to encounter, Ren Xiao asked the hidden soldiers to beat drums and horns everywhere and attacked a large army. Yue people were shocked, and Ren Xiao suddenly came out. The intimidated Yue people gave up the guarded mountain road because of their fear of the Qin army and wanted to escape. General Tu Sui did not miss this good opportunity at all and personally led the soldiers to attack.

You can't ride a horse or a chariot here, and General Tu Sui could only charge on foot. The general was brave and killed more than a dozen Yueren, Yueren finally gave up all the strongholds. The two sides were in a melee. Yi Xu Song did not expect that the Qin people would appear behind him. He had no experience in the battlefield. Suddenly, when he encountered such a situation, all he could do was to let the soldiers retreat, and he brought his confidants to delay Tu Sui's charge speed.

The two sides fought together, and the sound of killing in the mountains and forests shook the sky, and birds were startled. Yi Xusong held a sharp sword and killed several soldiers who wanted to take him to reward him. His warriors gathered around him to protect his safety. When Tu Sui discovered that those people were gathered together, he knew in his heart that it was the leader of the Yue people, so Tu Sui rushed over directly. Tu Sui seemed reckless, but in fact, he was careful. In order to prevent the enemy's leader from escaping here, he specially arranged for Ren Xiao not to participate in the battlefield and to intercept the other mountain passes.

The Qin people fought with the Yue people. Although the Yue people were familiar with the environment here, the Qin people's combat effectiveness was too strong and they were not opponents. The Yue people fell down one by one. Under the fierce attack of the Qin people, all they could do was escape. They wanted to escape with the advantage of familiarizing themselves with the terrain. Unfortunately, several important passages on the mountain road had been occupied by Ren Xiao in advance. In this case, they were forced to turn around and fight.

Yi Xu Song saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him and had no choice but to retreat. At that moment, he took a deep breath, stared at Tu Sui in the distance, and rushed towards the enemy angrily.

The war ended soon, and the Qin army suffered a lot of casualties. Most of them fell from the mountains or during the charge. However, the Yue people all fell on the ground, and almost no one was alive.... Yi Yusong was lying in a pool of blood, panting, Tu Sui walked up to him, lowered his head, and asked disdainfully: "Can you speak human language?"

Yi Yusong's face turned red, and it was impossible to say whether it was because of humiliation or injury on his body.

He stared at Tu Sui in front of him with a ferocious expression. He did not answer Tu Sui's question, but just gritted his teeth and said a Yue word from the gap between his teeth.

No one knew what he said. After he finished speaking, Tu Sui cut off his head.
