Chapter 233 South Vietnam, Zhao Tuo sent troops to the north
In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, in the fourth year of Nanyue, in July.

South Vietnam.

The messenger crossed several mountains and dense forests, and sent a heavy news to Panyu City.

For this reason, Zhao Tuo, the leader of South Vietnam, immediately held a court meeting.

The officials were crowded in the hall, the scorching air from inhalation to exhalation made them dizzy, coupled with the constant bead of sweat on their backs and necks, they felt sticky all over their bodies, and they didn't want to do too much exercise at all. think.

Regarding the study of civilization, later generations discovered that a powerful civilization has never appeared in the tropical areas near the equator.

High temperature in four seasons is the reason.

After all, there was no air-conditioning in ancient times, and being in a high temperature state for a long time is really tormenting and irritable, which limits people's ability to think more than cold.

Looking at the restless courtiers below, Zhao Tuo also tugged at the heavy dress around his waist in annoyance, the weather is really too hot.

He coughed lightly, whispered a few words to the attendants beside him, and then announced to the courtiers: "Don't be impatient, everyone, the widow has ordered the attendants to go to the cellar to fetch ice cubes, and put them in the hall to cool down.

Then it will be distributed to everyone, so as to keep cool, so that we can discuss the next thing in a more comfortable state. "

Hearing this, all the ministers in the hall stood up to thank you and said: "Thank you for your kindness, it is like rain and wind."

No matter what their impressions of Zhao Tuo were on weekdays, their thanks at this moment were extraordinarily sincere.

When the attendant brought a large bucket full of ice cubes and distributed them in bowls, the mood of the officials gradually settled down, and their eyes calmly focused on Zhao Tuo who was at the top.

The convening of today's court meeting was indeed sudden, and it was held at the end of the day, which was the hottest time of the day.

This only means that there is indeed something important to announce.

Putting down the ice-cold jade bowl in his hand, Zhao Tuo picked up a roll of silk script and said in a low voice, "Wei State, which was entrusted by the Han Dynasty, rebelled a while ago, everyone should know about it, right?
At that time, I thought it was a good opportunity to take the opportunity to go north, but I was dissuaded by you. "

Hearing what he said, the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one spoke.

When the feudal lords rebelled in Han, Zhao Tuo wanted to "counterattack the Han, go north to the Central Plains, wipe out millions of enemies, and recover Xianyang." With these sixteen-character policies, he also formulated a complete plan.

However, when the officials in the court heard this idea, almost no one supported it.

It is not a problem to flatten the local natives, but do you want to counterattack the big man?
Just kidding, our courtiers don't know the strength of our South Vietnam, don't you, the South Vietnam king, still don't know?What's more, the regular army of the Great Qin once lost a clean sheet. How can our army, which has been neglected in training for many years, have a chance to win against the emerging big man?

Looking at the suddenly quiet hall, Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, at that time the Wei State of the Han Dynasty rebelled, and you felt that the widows should not take the opportunity to send troops.

But now the widow got a new piece of news.

The Xiongnu Shanyu led 30 string-controlling men to attack the Han Dynasty in the south, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty sent 20 elite soldiers to fight back.

At this moment, all their attention was focused on the north, on the Huns.

Wu Rui of Changsha Kingdom has been harassing our country for a long time. Do you want to continue to tolerate his offensive behavior? "

After saying this, he glanced firmly at the group of officials.

When the news of the civil war between Hu Hai and Su came, his superior Nanhai County Wei Renxiao thought that Daqin's strength was approaching. When Chen Sheng rebelled, it happened that he fell seriously ill, so he could only tell Zhao the strategy of separatist Nanhai County and the establishment of the country and isolating the Central Plains. Tuo.

With the help of Yu Ze left behind by Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo cut off the connection with the Central Plains, annexed Guilin County and Xiang County, and built the basic plate of Nanyue Kingdom today.

And Zhao Tuo is very smart.

He used the Qin law to charge the officials appointed by the Qin Dynasty in Nanhai County with various crimes, and took the opportunity to kill them all.

Therefore, the remaining courtiers in the court are all Zhao Tuo's own people. The last "counterattack against the big man" plan was opposed collectively, which actually surprised him.

Looking at the lord with high ambitions, the attitude of the ministers' opposition has not been firm.

Compared with the mere rebellion of the Wei State, the Xiongnu's southward movement was more powerful and had a more severe impact on the Han Dynasty.

Taking advantage of this to send troops is obviously a suitable opportunity.

So the conservatives in the temple did not object, while the radicals stood up to express their support.

Then Lu Qi, the prime minister of South Vietnam, stood up, cupped his hands and saluted, and concluded aloud: "Your Majesty, I express my support for your ideas for three reasons.

First, although the Han Dynasty is powerful, like a ferocious tiger, it is fighting with the wolves in the north. We are like hunters, attacking with longbows, which will not cause its desperate counterattack.

Second, there are Changsha and Jing countries bordering us. Among them, Changsha is weak and not trusted by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. As long as we formulate a suitable strategy, we can definitely defeat it.

Third, the terrain around us in South Vietnam is really suitable for defense. Even if we are blocked from going north, those Han people who want to come over to conquer us will definitely be unacceptable and will be burned by our traps.

Therefore, we have these three advantages in this expedition.If you advance, you can get the south of the great river, and take the original map; if you retreat, you can defend Yangshan and Hengpu, and keep the Han army out of the country.

Therefore, the king no longer has to worry about it, and can order the soldiers to go out. "

"Prime Minister, you are right." Hearing Lu Qi concretize the thoughts in his heart, Zhao Tuo nodded excitedly, turned his head and said, "Servant, quickly add a few more pieces of ice to the prime minister's bowl." !"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Lu Qi with jealousy.

Ice cubes in the hot summer are more precious than copper coins of the same weight, and they can't even be bought with gold. Only a small amount of them are stored in the cellars of the courtiers' homes.

But compared to its value, the meaning of this bowl of ice made them envious.

This is the favor and trust of the king.

Lu Qi, who was ecstatic in his heart, said after thanking him, "Compared to this bowl of ice cubes, being recognized by the king is the greatest gift."

"Not bad, not bad." Zhao Tuo praised in a low voice, with a faint smile on his face, "Lv Qi listens to the order, and you will be responsible for recruiting civilians, mobilizing soldiers, and sending troops to the north in ten days!"

"only!"

In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, when he heard that the Huns had invaded the Han Dynasty, Tuo said: "The king of Changsha often humiliates me. This is a good opportunity."

In August, [-] troops were led to attack Changsha Bianyi, and even went down several counties. ——"Historical Records Biography of South Vietnam"

The existence of the Nanyue Kingdom, which isolated the Central Plains, did not divide China. From the perspective of the ruler, Zhao Tuo, the leader of the Nanyue Kingdom at that time, had always recognized Han culture.

To a certain extent, his actions accelerated the national integration, making Guangdong and Guangxi the inherent territories of China since ancient times. ——"5000 Years of China"
