Qiang Qin

Desperate.

There were powerful enemies in front and behind, and the Qin mission was silent. Whether it was Lu Jia's entourage or the generals of the Qin army who were in charge of protecting them, in their eyes, apart from despair, there was also shamelessness towards Nanyue. The wrath of deception.

Yang Yu stared blankly at Lu Jia biting his fingers and writing blood on the front of his shirt.

"Although Jia was forced to vote for Qin, he is very proud of being the envoy of Qin—!" Lu Jia said every word, his fingers trembling slightly on the skirt of his clothes, and he could see that he was very upset.

"Lieutenant Yang——!" Time was running out, Lu Jia finished writing in a hurry, and was about to hand it over to Yang Yu, when Yang Yu landed on one knee with a thump, and said loudly, "Doctor Lu, you will not be able to accept this bloody garment in the end. Even if I die, I, Yang Yu, will die in front of you. I, a strong man of the Qin Dynasty, have never run away before, never before, and will never happen now."

After Yang Yu finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, raised his iron sword high, and shouted: "Brothers, do you still remember what King Wu said in Hetao? The warriors of the Great Qin would rather fall to the sky than bow their heads. Boys, you would rather shed your blood than protect the peace of your homeland, now is the time for us to fight, draw your swords, hold your halberds, and kill!"

"Kill the barbarians, kill the barbarians!" The eight hundred Qin soldiers cried out in grief and indignation, and their desperate cries resounded through this unfamiliar mountain forest in the south.

"Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood will not be shed, and death will never stop!"

"There is a Great Qin in the west, rising like the sun,——, Qin has sharp men, who will fight for the hegemony!" The desolate voice echoed in Yangshan Pass for a while, and the South Vietnamese soldiers chasing team was surrounded by strange and familiar battle songs from a foreign land. , Many soldiers gradually stopped.

"Da Qin, Da Qin!"

"Catch up quickly, see if you kill these Qin dogs in front, and you will make great contributions. You will be promoted and rich, and you will be able to enjoy glory and wealth—!" Lu Tai yelled with a ferocious expression. Jia and Yang Yu are right ahead, and the opportunity to make meritorious service has finally come.

Prosperity and wealth.

These four words are everything to Lu Tai.

But for others, it may not be the most important thing, especially those wanderers who have been wandering in a foreign land for many years. They are more eager to return to their hometown in their lifetime.Seeing relatives, wives and children again, being able to kneel down on the grave of the deceased parents and cry heartily.

The footsteps of the South Vietnamese soldiers were getting slower and slower. Once upon a time, they were wearing the same color of armor as the soldiers of the Qin State Mission in front of them, holding a sword in one hand and cuffs in the other, shouting the battle song of the Great Qin.Charge on the battlefield.

"You cowards, hurry up." Lu Tai raised his whip high, and whipped the slow-moving soldiers as if venting his anger.

"Lu thief, who do you call a coward?" Before Lu Tai's voice fell.In the South Vietnamese Army, a burly general with full armor strode out, and behind him, five or six low-ranking generals with ranks of military lords and team leaders followed closely.

"Wang Changgong. What do you want to do? Are you planning to rebel?" Lu Tai shouted in shock.

Under Lu Jia's recommendation, Lu Tai had just been appointed by Zhao Tuo as the captain of Nanhai County, and it was the time of the spring breeze.Lu Tai, who had suffered enough, felt exhilarated and exhilarated due to his prominent status.

However, once a person succeeds, he tends to get carried away easily.

Lu Tai didn't think about it, these South Vietnamese soldiers under his command were only temporarily assigned to his command, and there were few soldiers who really admired him from the heart. What's more, the backbone of the South Vietnamese soldiers came from the north. Although many of these people have already settled down in Lingnan, among them there are also those who insist on Qin.

Wang Changgong.

Lieutenant of the South Vietnamese Military Academy.

Born in Linxia County, Guannei, he is in his [-]s. He was one of the first batch of generals who came to the south with Captain Tu Sui. According to his qualifications, the position of captain is a bit low. This is not a matter of Wang Changgong's ability. , but he followed the wrong person.

In the Southern Qin Army, the three leading generals were Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, and Zhao Tuo. Fortunately and unfortunately, Wang Changgong was Tu Sui's confidant. When Tu Sui was in power, Wang Changgong was still young and could only He stayed by Tu Sui's side to train, but when he had enough qualifications, Tu Sui, the big backer behind him, collapsed.

After Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo came to power one after another, so it was naturally impossible for Wang Changgong, a close friend of his predecessor, to be reused.This time, it was also a matter of urgency. If Lu Jia and Yang Yu hadn't acted quickly, Zhao Tuo had no choice but to activate Wang Changgong's army who was resting outside Panyu City.

Hearing Lu Tai's scolding, the burly man showed a bit of sarcasm on his stern and dark face, and said, "So what? I, Wang Changgong, was originally from Qin. It was just an expedient measure to commit myself to Nanyue. Now that Great Qin is strong, King Wu Lord Ming, if we are still obsessed with obsession, are we going to accompany Zhao Tuo in defeat?"

Those who know the practice are Junjie.

Wang Changgong is not optimistic about Zhao Tuo, in addition to past grievances, but also because of his clear understanding of the productivity and economic development of the Central Plains and Lingnan.No matter how much Lingnan develops, it is impossible to surpass the Central Plains. With Qin's current momentum to unify the world, as long as no accidents happen, the unification of Lingnan will happen sooner or later.

Rather than being tied to a sunken ship by Zhao Tuo, it is better to defect to Qin State early. In that case, maybe he can get some opportunities to make meritorious service in the battle to pacify South of the Five Ridges.Of course, Wang Changgong and his brothers would have more chances if the Qin army were to fight against distant foreign countries south of Xiangjun.

Lu Tai was furious, and shouted for the soldiers around him to take down Wang Changgong. He couldn't just sit and see the fruits of victory in front of him, but was destroyed by a group of insignificant miscellaneous soldiers.

Inside the South Vietnamese Army, they started fighting and attacking each other in front of the Qin Mission. This incident made Lu Jia and Yang Yu stunned for a moment. Fortunately, Lu Jia came to his senses first, and hurriedly ordered to Yang Yu: "Lieutenant Yang, hurry up and help those people." Hearing Lu Jia's reminder, Yang Yu, who had come to his senses from the huge gap, finally slapped his chest, shouted and led the soldiers under his command to rush towards Lu Tai.

To deal with Wang Changgong, Lu Tai asked himself that he could handle it. After all, those in the South Vietnam Army who really had the courage to stand up were only Wang Changgong's hard-core brothers, and more people were holding a wait-and-see attitude. When he came over, Lu Tai couldn't resist even if he had three heads and six arms.

After trying to hold back for a while, Lu Tai was finally defeated. He finally struggled out of the desperate situation, and he still had too many expectations for his future, so he didn't want to just die in Yangshan Pass. He must live, and as long as he lives, there will be a chance for revenge in the future.

Lu Taijun was defeated.

Witnessing the turmoil of the friendly army, the Xiou people who were killed by the Qin army and fled in embarrassment were terrified at the pass. The weapons of the Qin army and the Nanyue army were much stronger than the Ou people. After that, the Qin State Mission changed from a small and weak force to a fortified force with considerable combat effectiveness.

After weighing the gains and losses, the Xiou people fled without a fight. For them, even if they worked hard for Zhao Tuo, they still had to find someone to bully them, and the mixed army of the Qin State Mission in front of them was obviously not suitable. The goal.

The Qin mission survived from a desperate situation.

After occupying Yangshan Pass, Yang Yu and Wang Changgong went all the way to the west, defeating the Nanyue guards who were blocking the front, and finally arrived at Cangwu at the end of June.

Lu Jia and the others, who thought Cangwu King Zhao Guang would be ready to fight, unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Guang not only did not block the waterway or set up checkpoints, but instead opened the waterway and escorted Lu Jia and others out of Guilin County all the way. On the occasion, Zhao Guang said something meaningful to Lu Jia.

"If one day, when Guang is in Guilin, can he come north?" Zhao Guang's words revealed his deep worry and disappointment about the current situation.

As Zhao Tuo's younger brother, deeply favored by his elder brother, it is impossible for Zhao Guang to make a move to vote for Qin on the surface, but in private, Zhao Guang hopes to use his actions to show some kindness to Qin, and also for himself. Leave a way out in the future.

With a gloomy face, Lu Jia cupped his hands at Zhao Guang who was seeing him off, and didn't say a word. At this time, people are talking too much, and words can't be changed once they are spoken, so it's better not to say anything. Zhao Tuo's ambitions were fully exposed when he went on a dangerous mission.

And the previous alliance with the new Qin Dynasty, and hypocritically sending envoys to the Qin State to make contributions. Behind all these conspiracies, it was just to cover up his ambitious heart of wanting to become Emperor Wu of Lingnan.Lu Tai is just a pawn, and his lobbying is only a reference for Zhao Tuo, but cannot change his most fundamental persistence.

at the pinnacle of power.

There is always only one person standing, not two or more.

After having tasted the glorious fruit brought by power, how could Zhao Tuo be willing to hand over the Lingnan hegemony he had built with great difficulty to the new Qin State.

"Li Yuan is just Li Si's illegitimate son. If it wasn't for a chance meeting, or if I, Zhao Tuo, didn't participate, how could the surname Li be in the world of Qin?"

Zhao Tuo's mentality became more and more unbalanced as the new Qin became stronger day by day. If Lu Jia came to discuss an alliance at the beginning, he still held the relationship of equal allies and brothers. Now, even if Lu Jia didn't say anything, Zhao Tuo He also understands that with the strength of his Nanyue Kingdom, it is no longer possible for Li Yuan to regard him as his elder brother.

However, the situation in Nanyue Kingdom is different from the Meiyue people in Wuling, the Xiou people in Xiangjun, and the descendants of King Yue in Fujian. Among the more than one hundred thousand Qin soldiers, some were loyal to Zhao Tuo, some were happy with the situation, but there were still a considerable number of generals and soldiers who had always been loyal to the Great Qin and never changed.

Over the years, Zhao Tuo has gradually consolidated the foundation of Lingnan by nurturing those who are loyal to him, wooing the middle class, and attacking dissident forces. Most of the dissidents like Wang Changgong have been marginalized. Qin Guo's goodwill almost deceived everyone. If it weren't for the Qin army's defeat this time, and Lu Jia came with Li Yuan's questioning, Zhao Tuo's delaying strategy would have continued. (To be continued..)
