Chapter 44 Ye Chi predicted: Tu Sui will be defeated!
Ye Chi did not answer directly, but asked: "Your Highness, what do you think is the difference between the people of Baiyue and the people of the Central Plains?"

Fusu pondered and said, "The land of Baiyue has beautiful mountains and rivers, but the culture and customs of its people are very different from those of the Central Plains. Moreover, they have many advantages of mountains and forests and are good at guerrilla warfare."

Ye Chi nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. The people of Baiyue have completely different living habits from those of the people of the Central Plains. If we use the military tactics of the Central Plains to conquer them, it may not be effective. Although Tu Sui is brave, his military tactics may not be applicable to the war against Baiyue!"

Fusu became more and more anxious and asked: "In your opinion, how should we deal with this?"

Ye Chi smiled slightly and said, "Warfare is a matter of deception. The way to use troops is to adapt to the enemy and the local conditions. The land of Baiyue is full of mountains, forests and water, and its people are good at guerrilla warfare. If our army confronts them head-on, it may be difficult to win. Therefore, we should deal with them with surprise attacks and the strategy of dividing our forces and attacking together."

"Although Your Majesty ordered Tu Ju to use my strategy, I am sure that Tu Ju will not use my strategy!"

When Ye Chi said this, Fusu was struck by lightning, and turned pale with disbelief on his face.

He hurriedly asked, "Sir, why do you say that? General Tu Ju is a general appointed by my father. How could he disobey the imperial order and not use your advice?!"

Ye Chi sighed softly, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Human nature is complicated, let alone the heart of a general."

"Although Tu Ju is brave and good at fighting, he has a strong character and his own way of marching and fighting. He may think that my strategy is too cunning and does not conform to his usual fighting style. Therefore, even if Your Majesty orders him to do so, he may choose to ignore it."

"This is 'When a general is on the battlefield, he may not obey military orders'!"

When Fusu heard this, he felt panic in his heart. He knew very well that Ye Chi was extremely intelligent and his plan would surely bring about victory by surprise.

But if Tu Ju was really abandoned, wouldn't the Qin soldiers be trapped in a tough battle in this campaign against the Baiyue?
He hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you have any way to make General Tu Ju change his mind and adopt your strategy?"

Ye Chi shook his head slightly and said calmly: "The plan has been made. Whether to use it or not is entirely up to Tu Ju. Although I can plan, I can't control other people's minds. Sir, the victory or defeat of this battle is no longer something that I can decide alone!"

After hearing this, Fusu felt helpless.

He knew very well that what Ye Chi said was true, and the outcome of this battle was indeed not something that could be determined by one person.

He could only hope that General Tu Ju would be able to assess the situation, adopt Ye Chi's strategy, and win this crucial battle for Daqin.

Fusu frowned and asked again in a serious tone: "Since we know that General Tuju's plan is wrong, may I ask, sir, if we follow the general's plan to fight against Baiyue, what will happen?"

His voice was full of worry and anxiety.

Ye Chi looked solemn. He took out a map of Baiyue and unfolded it, detailing Tu Sui's military strategy: "In my opinion, he will definitely divide his troops into five routes. One army will block the ridge of Fancheng to stop the enemy in the front, one army will guard Jiuyi Pass as a backup, one army will be stationed in Panyu to observe the enemy's changes, one army will guard the border of Nanye to prevent the enemy from escaping, and one army will gather water from Yugan to control the enemy's movement."

"This strategy seems to be foolproof, but..."

He changed the subject, looked at Fusu with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "But this strategy has a major flaw!"

"Tu Ju has dispersed his forces too much, and there is a lack of effective coordination between the various armies. Although the attacking army can move forward unimpeded, it is easy for the enemy to surround it from both sides, cut off its retreat, and trap it in a desperate situation. If the defending army takes the opportunity to attack, our army may be unable to resist and may be completely wiped out!"

Fusu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he asked hurriedly, "What about the troops on the water?"

Ye Chi shook his head and said, "Although the army on the water route may have won a narrow victory, they are alone and deep in the enemy's territory without any backup. Sooner or later, they will be annihilated by the enemy."

"Moreover, poisonous snakes and insects are rampant in the land of Baiyue. The army is overwhelmed and there is a high possibility of an outbreak of plague and other diseases. With all these unfavorable factors added up, the army ahead will definitely be defeated!!!"

After listening to Ye Chi's analysis, Fusu's face suddenly changed, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and turned pale. His eyes were full of horror, as if he saw the tragic scene of blood flowing like a river and corpses strewn all over the battlefield ahead.

He knew very well that what Ye Chi said was true, and that defeat in this battle seemed inevitable. He couldn't help but feel an indescribable anxiety and fear in his heart!
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead and his clenched fists trembled slightly, revealing Fusu's inner excitement and anxiety.

He understood that this battle was related to the destiny and future of the Qin Dynasty. If they lost, the prestige of the Qin Dynasty would be severely hit and the people would suffer endless hardships!

At this moment, Fusu was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles.

No matter what, he couldn't let his father's hard work go to waste in this war that was doomed to fail!

He must inform his father of the news as soon as possible and ask his father to issue an order to stop Tu Sui's blind attack!
Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his inner anxiety and fear. He stood up suddenly, bowed deeply to Ye Chi, and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir! Fusu will report this news to my father as soon as possible, please let my father decide!"

After saying this, Fusu turned around resolutely, and walked hurriedly, like a meteor across the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

Ye Chi slowly stood up, stared at him, with his hands behind his back, his body as thin as a pine tree, until his shadow disappeared into the vastness.

The breeze blew gently, and Ye Chi's clothes fluttered, but his expression was indifferent, like the autumn sky and the vast sky, detached from the world.

His eyes are deep, as if he can see through the secrets of nature, yet he seems unconcerned about the troubles of this world.

The hustle and bustle around him was like floating clouds passing by, leaving no trace.

As the setting sun shines, his figure appears more lonely and resolute, just like a pine tree that stands tall despite wind, frost, rain and snow!
Ye Chi stood alone among them, looking solemn and as if thinking about something.

He looked up at the sky, but saw floating clouds blocking the sun, giving him a feeling that the will of heaven was unpredictable.

I pondered in my heart,

Since the six kingdoms were united under Qin, the country has been unified and its power has been feared by all. However, the situation is unpredictable and worrying!
After more than three years, although the Qin Empire had a solid foundation, the conquest of the Baiyue had exhausted the national strength.

Although the name of unification is high, in reality there are undercurrents and crises lurking everywhere.

The remnants of the six kingdoms are lurking among the people, waiting for an opportunity to move, like a dormant dragon. When the wind and clouds rise, they will surely stir up huge waves!
Ye Chi knew this very well and was burning with worry.

And at this moment, he looked back and saw the northern border was in flames!

The Xiongnu, Rongdi and other foreign tribes often invaded the border, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil! !

They have been eyeing the Central Plains for a long time, waiting for the slightest negligence of the Qin Dynasty to take advantage of the opportunity and invade.

Ye Chi knew in his heart that these foreign races were like hungry wolves, always eyeing the territory and people of Daqin!

The remnants of the six kingdoms and the northern barbarians are like two sharp swords hanging over the head of the Qin Dynasty, ready to fall and deliver a fatal blow at any time!
Thinking of this, Ye Chi couldn't help but open his eyes, his eyes shining with brilliance!
He already had a plan in mind, and he had to get the full support of Fusu and other princes!

At this moment, Ye Chi seemed to have merged into this courtyard with towering ancient trees, breathing the same air and sharing the same fate with heaven and earth!
