The great man will live forever

Chapter 117: Defeat South Vietnam (Seven collective defections)

The Han army of 25 troops attacked South Vietnam, and people in the entire southwest were panicked.

In the Nanyue Palace in Panyu, the capital of South Vietnam, the new King of South Vietnam, Zhao Jiande, had a sad look on his face, "The big man is really coming, Prime Minister, what should I do now?"

Zhao Jiande is the eldest son of Zhao Yingqi, the king of Ming Dynasty in South Vietnam. Before Zhao Yingqi went to the Han Dynasty to be a hostage, he had Zhao Jiande with a Yue woman. Logically speaking, he should be the new king of South Vietnam.

It is a pity that Zhao Yingqi stayed in Chang'an for a long time and married a Han woman named Min as his wife. He reported to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and made Zhao Xing, the son of Min, the crown prince. He thought that he had no chance of the throne.

Unexpectedly, in an unexpected turn of events, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, Lu Jia, and his younger brother led troops to attack the palace and killed Zhao Xing, the Queen Mother, the Han envoy Zhong Jun and others.

After he killed Zhao Xing, he sent people to inform Cangwu King Zhao Guang of Qin and other county officials to establish himself as the King of Nanyue. This was like a throne from heaven. How could he not be happy?
But before he was happy for a long time, the big man was about to send someone to kill him. He became afraid again, and he was really worrying about gains and losses.

In contrast to the frightened South Vietnamese King Zhao Jiande, the South Vietnamese Prime Minister Lu Jia looked indifferent, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I have sealed the talismans of the Han Dynasty envoys in wooden boxes and placed them on the border fortress to apologize to the Han Dynasty. At the same time, He also sent troops to guard key places.”

South Vietnam King Zhao Jiande was still worried, "But the Han Dynasty didn't care at all. I heard that they sent 25 troops this time, and the leader was Lanling Hou. The Han Dynasty emperor also named him the new Hussars General.

It is said that this man has three heads and six arms, is good at fighting, and is one foot tall. It is said that he went to the battlefield at the age of 16 and never lost in ten years. He and Huo Qubing defeated the Huns. Fortunately, Huo Qubing died early, otherwise it would be more troublesome. "

Huo Qubing's reputation was not only great among the Xiongnu, but also the countries in the southwest were frightened by him. After his death, many people lamented that the world is too narrow to accommodate such a genius. At the same time, they were lucky. If it was Huo Qubing who came this time, there would be so many of them. People are probably ready to surrender.

Good guy, what kind of rumors are these? If Liu Han heard this, he would be dumbfounded. He would think he was Nezha.It's still ten feet taller. One foot is more than 3 meters. Is this still a human being?

Lu Jia, the prime minister of South Vietnam, stroked his gray beard and continued to cheer him up, "We are ready to fight to the death, so the king must not say such things. Those are all rumors and cannot be believed. We in South Vietnam are not the Huns. We have many mountains and waterways here. The cavalry is of little use. He, Marquis Lanling, is great at commanding the cavalry, but not so much when commanding the navy.

Besides, our navy in South Vietnam is no worse than that of the Han Dynasty. Back then, Qin Shihuang sent Tu Sui to lead an army of more than 50 people to go south in five directions, but why did he return with a huge defeat?In the end, it was His Majesty King Wu who defeated us and established our South Vietnam. King Wu was so brave. As his descendant, how can you be afraid?No matter how powerful this Lanling Marquis is, can he be compared to His Majesty King Wu back then? "

When he talked about King Wu, there was pride on his face, which was the pride of their South Vietnam.

In the first year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), Zhao Tuo raised troops to annex Guilin County and Xiang County. The Nanyue Kingdom, which existed for 95 years, laid the foundation stone.

In the 11th year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (196 BC), Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang sent his official Lu Jia as an envoy to South Vietnam. This guy’s mouth could be said to have blossomed. Under his deception, Liu Bang’s personality charm and Zhao Tuo’s own considerations.

He finally chose to accept the title of king of the Han Dynasty and return to the central government. He accepted the seal of the King of Nanyue given by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, surrendered to the Han Dynasty, made Nanyue a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and paid tribute to the imperial court.

After the death of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu came to the court. Zhao Tuo announced his separation from the Han Dynasty, calling himself "Emperor Wu of Nanyue", and began to issue orders as the emperor, and opposed the Han Dynasty.

When Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he sent people to renovate the cemetery of Zhao Tuo's ancestors, set up tombkeepers to offer sacrifices on time every year, and rewarded Zhao Tuo's cousins ​​with official positions and property.

Immediately, he sent Lu Jia, a big liar, as Taizhong doctor, and ordered him to go to South Vietnam again to persuade Zhao Tuo to return to the Han Dynasty.

Fooling, still fooling, and then fooling, and continuing to fool...

Good guy, I really succeeded in deceiving him again. Zhao Tuo continued to surrender to the Han Dynasty and lost his imperial title.

Of course, externally he was called the King of Nanyue, a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but internally he was still called the emperor.

What's even more amazing is that this guy was able to live for more than 100 years, which can be called living history. He lived from the time of Qin Shihuang to the time of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and ruled Lingnan for 81 years.

Witnessed the First Emperor's unification of the world, the death of the second generation of Qin Dynasty, the Hongmen Banquet, the conflict between Chu and Han, the suicide of Wujiang, the overlord of Western Chu, the founding of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Gaozu, Empress Lu's coming to rule, the rule of Wen and Jing, and the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms...

He lived until the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (137 BC) before his death. He forced all his sons to die and let his grandson succeed him. If he was still alive, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might not dare to launch troops against South Vietnam. That is the auspiciousness of being alive!

Probably because he grew up listening to Zhao Tuo's experiences and worshiping his ancestor, South Vietnam King Zhao Jiande had some confidence, but he still had worries, "But Gu can't compare to King Wu Taizu after all."

"It's okay. I have sent people to guard the key points. If we can fight, we will fight. If we can't fight, we will go overseas. We will fight back in a few years. South Vietnam belongs to us, not the Han people." Hearing what Lu Jia, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, said, Zhao Jiande I feel that with Toutida, yes, if I can't fight, I can still run away. Escape, no, it should be called strategic transfer. It's not embarrassing.

"Furthermore, I have sent people to contact the Qiong and Lao Kingdoms, Yelang, Qielan, Toulan, and Dian Kingdoms in the west, the Dongyue and Yueyao Kingdoms in the east, and even the Qiang people in the northwest. They understand the truth."

There are many tribal countries in the southwest, distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, and southern Sichuan. Among them, the Dian Kingdom is the largest, and its territory is mainly in the central and eastern areas of Yunnan centered on Dianchi Lake. Historians often call it the Dian people.

"Historical Records" records that in 278 BC, the Chu State sent Chu general Zhuang Qiao to lead a team to the Dianchi Lake area. After conquering the locals, his return route was cut off by the Qin State, so he stayed in the Dianchi Lake area and established the Dian Kingdom. The capital is in Jincheng Town, Jinning District, Kunming City today.

Next is the Yelang Kingdom, which is the Yelang Kingdom of Yelang. It rules the present western and southern Guizhou, including some areas in northeastern Yunnan, southern Sichuan and northwest Guangxi.

In the "Historical Records of the Southwest Yi" written by Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty, the king of Dian and the Han envoy said: "Which Han is greater than me?" The same is true for the Marquis of Yelang.Because the roads are blocked, they each think that they are the masters of one state, and they don't know how vast the Han Dynasty is.

Later generations refined the idiom "Yelang is arrogant" based on the above-mentioned literature.

As for the others, the Qielan Kingdom, the Toulan Kingdom, the Qiong Kingdom, and the Chu Kingdom, they were actually just small tribes that the Han Dynasty could probably sweep away with just a few thousand men.

The Dongyue Kingdom and Yueyue Kingdom in the east were actually the Minyue Kingdom back then.

That year, in 135 BC, the then Minyue King Ying attacked the South Vietnam Kingdom, and South Vietnam asked the Han court for help.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, sent Wang Hui, the chief minister in charge of guest reception, to lead his troops out of Yuzhang. He also sent Han Anguo, the chief minister in charge of money, grain, gold and silk matters, to lead his troops out of Kuaiji. They were made generals and sent south to attack Fujian and Yue.

As a result, Yu Shan, the younger brother of King Ying of Minyue, was afraid that the Han court would take the opportunity to destroy Minyue, so he launched a coup, killed Ying and apologized to the Han court.

Good guy, before the Han army came over, they themselves were in chaos. After the death of Nanyue King Ying, the Han court established Wu Zhu's grandson Yao Junchou as the Yue Yao King, and enshrined the ancestor of Minyue.

Yu Shan was naturally unconvinced. I have been doing this for so long, killing my brother, and carrying out a reactionary coup just to become the king. But you, the Han Dynasty, don't know what is good and what is evil, so you declare yourself the king.

King Yue Yao was unable to control it, and in order to avoid using troops again, because the main enemy of the Han Dynasty was the Huns at that time, the Han court could only compromise and please Yu Shan, naming him King of East Yue and coexisting with King Yue Yao.

As a result, the once powerful Minyue was almost split into two, becoming the East Yue Kingdom and the Yue Yao Kingdom.

It was precisely because of the complex situation in the southwest and the numerous small tribal countries that Liu Han personally set out from Shu and passed through Guizhou (Yelang) to attack South Vietnam. This was to frighten the southwest countries and destroy those who dared to jump out first.

Sure enough, the effect was quite good. The Dian Kingdom did not dare to move, and the Yelang Kingdom sent troops to assist.

What made Liu Han most happy was that when he learned that the Han Dynasty was sending troops to attack South Vietnam, King Yushan of East Vietnam requested to lead eight thousand troops to attack South Vietnam.

At this time, there seemed to be no strong reinforcements around South Vietnam. The people contacted by South Vietnam's Prime Minister Lu Jia either stood still or defeated them.

"Shuzi, how dare you bully me?"

After hearing the news, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, Lu Jia, was so angry that he pulled out his sword and slashed the table. He had clearly said well at the time that we would fight against the big man together, but now they turned against him as soon as they hit him, leaving him alone. It was simply, how could he fight this? ?
"Why was Great Qin able to destroy the Six Kingdoms back then? How could they be so short-sighted?"

Lu Jia, the prime minister of South Vietnam, couldn't understand that only a few years had passed since the lessons learned back then. Didn't he know that South Vietnam was destroyed and their demise was not far away?
However, just when Lu Jia, the prime minister of South Vietnam, was extremely desperate and Liu Han was extremely happy, the situations of the two began to reverse again.

The opposite is the movement of the Tao, and the weak is the use of the Tao!

Everything in the world is bound to go to its opposite, just like people, who are constantly heading towards death from the moment they are born.

Because of this sentence, our Chinese nation is full of wisdom. In the darkest times, the most difficult and difficult times, we still maintain confidence in the future, because we know that the darkness is about to pass and the light is about to come. It will definitely go to its opposite. A single spark can start a prairie fire!
