Lin Tian was unaware of Ying Zheng's thoughts.
However, one thing Lin Tian was very clear about was that once the canal was completed, it would be time to attack Lingnan.
The existence of Lingnan had always been a hidden danger for Great Qin.
If it wasn't resolved, this danger would not only persist but grow.
By then, it would affect not only the people near Lingnan but the entire Great Qin.
Therefore, Lin Tian spoke up at this opportune moment.
"Father Emperor, since our canal has been built, shall we attack Lingnan?"
"Attack, we must attack! I will immediately mobilize 200,000 troops to attack Lingnan!!"
"As for our military supplies, all will be transported by water!!"
"Yes!!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Lin Tian immediately felt relieved.
Although he knew Ying Zheng would heed his advice, attacking Lingnan was no small matter.
Under such circumstances, it was natural to be absolutely certain before launching the attack.
After Ying Zheng issued this order, he was about to leave Lingnan.
Even though he wanted to see how the Qin soldiers would conquer Lingnan,
He also knew that he had been away from Xianyang City for too long.
The Great Qin of today was not the Great Qin of the past.
The Great Qin now spanned vast territories, and there were many matters awaiting Ying Zheng's attention every day.
If Ying Zheng were to slacken and fail to handle them properly, it could be a disaster for the entire Great Qin.
Under such circumstances, Ying Zheng naturally had to handle state affairs diligently and proactively.
Lin Tian was also aware of Ying Zheng's thoughts.
Therefore, Lin Tian strongly supported Ying Zheng's departure from Lingnan.
However, Ying Zheng had left, but that did not mean Lin Tian intended to leave as well.
Having come to Lingnan and opened a canal,
Lin Tian naturally did not want to leave easily.
Not only did he not want to leave easily, but he also wanted to personally participate in this war.
Many people were surprised by Lin Tian's words.
Previously, although they knew that Lin Tian cared about the state affairs of Great Qin and was particularly concerned about matters in Lingnan,
They had not expected Lin Tian to want to personally attack Lingnan.
Upon learning this, everyone felt caught off guard.
They had initially thought that they could use this opportunity to build merit by being in charge of the attack on Lingnan.
Never did they expect that before they could achieve any merit, Lin Tian would want to be involved in this matter.
This caused many to feel regret.
Because once Lin Tian participated, they would lose the opportunity to be the main general.
This was something they did not wish to see happen.
However, Lin Tian's orders had been issued, and he had decided to stay. Even if these people had the desire to object, they were powerless to do so.
Under such circumstances, they could only watch helplessly as Lin Tian remained in Lingnan.
Lin Tian was unaware of their thoughts.
However, after confirming his decision to stay in Lingnan, Lin Tian began to make arrangements for combat strategies.
He was not staying in Lingnan to watch a play; he was here to kill.
The most deserving of death were naturally those who resisted in Lingnan.
Because of this, Lin Tian immediately mobilized his 200,000 troops.
At the same time, a large amount of resources were also mobilized to Lingnan.
Not only that, but those in Lingnan who had already surrendered to Qin were also summoned by Lin Tian.
The purpose of summoning them was naturally to identify poisonous creatures in the forest.
It was also to prevent them from entering the poisonous mist.
Although these people from Lingnan had already instructed the Qin soldiers, they still had their uses before Lingnan was conquered.
These people from Lingnan also understood their role and knew Lin Tian's status.
In their hearts, Lin Tian was extremely noble.
Such a noble person was definitely not someone they could afford to provoke.
Under such circumstances, they naturally cooperated with Lin Tian obediently.
Lin Tian was also very satisfied with their cooperation.
Now, all he had to do was wait for his army to arrive, and then he could make his move.
Therefore, under everyone's gaze, Lin Tian began to wait quietly.
This period of waiting was undoubtedly a great torment for the people of Lingnan.
Especially when the people of Lingnan knew that Great Qin was about to send 200,000 troops to attack Lingnan, many of their faces changed.
"200,000 troops, how can we cope?"
"Before, I knew that Qin soldiers were very powerful, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful. 200,000 troops, this is completely going to crush us!"
"These Qin people really don't intend to leave us a way to survive. We only have tens of thousands of our own soldiers, and they are sending 200,000 troops. This is truly going too far!"
The 200,000 troops exceeded the total number of warriors sent by all the tribes in Lingnan.
Even the number of these soldiers was more than the population of many of their tribes.
Under such circumstances, they were naturally unwilling to accept the reality of Qin's 200,000 troops attacking their Lingnan.
Many of them wished that this news was false, and even more so, they wished that Qin's 200,000 troops would not reach Lingnan.
Otherwise, it would be a huge disaster for them.
"No, no matter what, we cannot let these 200,000 troops enter our Lingnan, otherwise, all of us will be in trouble!"
"Yes, we must stop them before they enter our Lingnan and prevent them from bringing all the trouble into our Lingnan!"
"Stop them, we must stop them! Their arrival is a huge disaster for all of us!"
The thought of Qin's 200,000 troops made these people of Lingnan's heads ache.
Because of this, their intentions were very clear: they must stop Qin's 200,000 troops.
The best method of interception was naturally to intercept them before the 200,000 Qin troops entered Lingnan.
So, they thought of a place.
The canal.
If they were in the mountains and forests, it would be extremely difficult to intercept 200,000 troops.
No matter how many troops they sent, their army would likely be annihilated.
However, in the canal, the situation was different.
As long as the Qin soldiers' ships sank, whether they had 100,000 or 200,000 troops, they would all be wiped out.
Upon thinking of this, the eyes of these people from Lingnan suddenly became firm.
They made up their minds to intercept the Qin army on the canal.
