Qiang Qin

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

Although Zhao Tuo called himself the King of Wu, his military vision was not as strong as he imagined. Since the performance of the Qin army in the first stage was not as eye-catching as expected, Zhao Tuo mistakenly thought that the army under Li Yuan was no more than an army at best. It is similar to Tu Sui's Southern Expedition Army.

Under the misleading information, Zhao Tuo then made a series of erroneous decisions such as uniting with Yue to fight against Qin, killing the mission, establishing himself as King Wu, and sending troops to aid Vietnam. Therefore, when the Qin army suddenly crossed Yelang Kingdom and appeared in Guilin When it was near the county, Zhao Tuo suddenly discovered that he couldn't send any reinforcements for a while.

The various Qin armies that went south one after another in those years claimed to have 50, but in fact there were not that many. When Zhao Tuo broke the road and stood on his own, there were about 20 soldiers of the Qin army stranded in Lingnan.

Where are these generals stationed?

According to the Sanyue joint anti-Qin plan, when the Meiyue people launched an attack in Changsha County, the South Vietnamese Army stationed [-] soldiers in Nangao City in accordance with the contract. To guard against Wuzhu's malicious ally.

In addition, due to Wang Changgong's rebellion, Zhao Tuo suddenly felt that the morale of the army was unstable, so he was directly abolished to the local area under the pretext of insufficient military expenditure.In addition to the scattered garrisons in other places, Zhao Tuo has nearly ten thousand soldiers who can fight, that is, nearly [-] people guarding Panyu. With this number of troops, Zhao Tuo really has no confidence to repel the Qin army's invasion.

Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, waited for the reinforcements to no avail, so he decided to surrender to Qin.

For this powerless and powerless prince, it is better to die with the Qin army.It's better to vote for Qin Guobao to save his life. Fortunately, he knew the opportunity early and maintained a good relationship with the Qin Guo Mission.

Zhao Guang descended.Yangshanguan at the junction of Guilin and the South China Sea also fell into the hands of the Qin army. The fall of Yangshanguan marked that the Qin expeditionary force had entered Zhao Tuo's three Lingnan counties. If you go down the Xijiang River all the way, you can reach Panyu, the capital of Zhao Tuo.

Nanyue King City.

Teams of soldiers guarded the city tower and waterway wharf nervously, and the passing ships were strictly inspected.However, all ships brought to or from Yelang Country and Guilin County will be taken to a special inspection place and interrogated by special personnel in charge of espionage.

The Qin army attacked.

The situation in Nanyue was jittery.

Hearing the news that Cangwu King Zhao Guang surrendered without a fight.Zhao Tuo turned pale with fright. He never expected that Li Yuan would be so courageous that he would send a large army across the mountains of Guizhou to the south of the Five Ridges.And he didn't expect that his younger brother would suddenly abandon him.

Lu Jia, Lu Tai.There is also Dou Guangde, the general in charge of guarding Panyu City.These three cronies of Zhao Tuo were summoned to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

"King Wu, the Qin people are attacking from afar, and they are aggressive. Most of our troops are stagnant in Wuling. We must recall them immediately. Otherwise, we will not be sure whether Panyu City can be held." Dou Guangde worried.Same as Wang Changgong.Dou Guangde is also a veteran of many battles, but.Unlike Wang Changgong, he swore allegiance to Zhao Tuo early.

Zhao Tuo nodded with a gloomy face, and said, "Master Lu, the military situation is urgent. This king has decided to gather all the troops to fight against the Qin army. Only by destroying this army can the situation in our south of the Five Ridges be stabilized. Therefore, Wuling There, please go there in person and explain our difficulties to the Meiyue people."

Mei Juan, Wu Zhu, and Zhao Tuo formed an alliance in July and reached a consensus to fight against Qin. Among them was the proposal of joint military use. After Mei Juan launched an attack on Lin Shenhe, Zhao Tuo sent Send a heavy force from the direction of Longchuan to garrison Nanyan City to assist Mei Juan in blocking the attack of the Qin Army's Pengyue Department.

"King Wu, if we withdraw to the south, if the Qin army breaks through Wuling, the connection between Meiyue and Minyue will be cut off, and our north will also directly face the threat of the Qin people." Lu Jia Said with some hesitation.

Before Lu Jia finished speaking, Lu Tai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sneered and said: "Mei Juan has been fighting Changsha soldiers for more than a month, but he only fought one and lost both sides. Who is to blame? Our South Vietnamese army Guarding Wuling for him for so many days, I am worthy of him. As for whether the Qin army on the North Road will come south again, we don’t need to worry too much. With the danger of Longchuan, even if the Qin army comes here, it will not be able to penetrate us. In the hinterland of the South China Sea, let alone, the King of Minyue will not just sit back and watch the Qin people ride on his neck—!"

When Lu Tai said this, Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "Lieutenant Lu is worthy of being a prince and noble, with extraordinary knowledge, Mei Juan, a worthless guy, let him die on his own. This time, the king decided to personally conquer , Lieutenant Lu can go together."

"The final general will obey the order." Lu Tai said happily.

It only took Lu Tai less than half a year from being Lu Jia's coachman to now falling into Zhao Tuo's eyes, and his rapid ascension speed is unique in the history of Nanyue Kingdom.

Watching the back of Lu Tai following Zhao Tuo, Xiangguo Lu Jia was full of bitterness. It is not easy to go to Mei Yue as an envoy. If Mei Juan gets angry, it's up to him whether Lu Jia can keep his life.

However, what made Lu Jia feel regretful and bitter was not only the mission, but also because he misjudged Lu Tai.

I thought it was the younger generation with the same surname, but looked pitiful, and it was caring to give him support, but he didn't expect that this time, Lu Tai actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge, pushing him, Lu Jia, into the fire pit.

"Lu Xiang, let's go, you and I are old, heroes and heroes are all descendants, this kid Lu Tai has been favored by King Wu." Dou Guangde sighed beside him and comforted him.

Zhao Tuo transferred back the main force of the South Vietnamese Army with 5 people from Wuling, and then led his troops to conquer.

The Qin and Nanyue armies met at Sihui, Guilin County. In terms of the strength of the two sides, the South Yue army had the upper hand, but at this time, the momentum of the Qin army had completely risen. All the warriors from the tribes of the ten directions were sent out, and a Yelang army of more than [-] people was formed to attack the Nanyue Kingdom from the Xiangjun area.

The two sides fought several times and were evenly matched. Zhao Tuo saw that he could not defeat the Qin army in a short period of time, so he retreated to Nanhai County and stuck to the four main cities of Boluo, Longchuan, Jieyang, and Panyu, and gave up all the rest. Although the army has lost a lot of territory, its main force is still there, and more importantly, after shrinking its forces, Zhao Tuo may turn from defense to offense at any time, cutting off the increasingly long rear of the Qin army.

After seeing this level of danger, Wang Shang also fought steadily. For remote places like Xiangjun, he was handed over to the Fang Guo coalition forces of Yelang Kingdom to occupy, while the Qin army continued to march eastward along the West River, all the way to the west. Panyu, the hometown of Zhao Tuo.

Seeing that the Qin army was not fooled, Zhao Tuo was so annoyed that he had to lead his army to garrison Luofu Mountain in the Boluo area again, hoping to use the continuous mountains here to stop the Qin army's eastward advance.

——.

At the same time that Wang Shang's expeditionary army broke into Lingnan, Peng Yue's army in the middle of the road was also marching southward with drums, and launched an offensive against Nanyan City again.

This time, Peng Yue was full of confidence and directly pushed the Chinese army camp to Yudu.

Yudu is also Ningdu County, the red capital of later generations. It is less than [-] miles away from Nanzhang. The army can be said to be strong and strong, and the generals of each army are holding the idea of ​​avenging shame, supporting and cooperating with each other to approach Wuling step by step.

Before the South Vietnamese Army entered Nanyue, Mei Juan mobilized a large number of troops from Nanyue City because of the Lingling War, making the pass less than a thousand troops. After Zhao Tuo ordered the retreat from Wuling, Nanyue became a city. empty city.Because of this, Peng Yue's army encountered almost no resistance when it marched south.

October [-]nd.

Hu Zhe, the vanguard of the Qin army in the middle, captured Nanzhang in one fell swoop without bloodshed, opening the door to the hinterland of Wuling.Mei Juan, who was fighting Feng Xuan's army in Pangyi, almost fainted when he learned that the South Vietnamese army had retreated without a fight and that the rear of Wuling was in danger.

After losing Nanzhan City, the Meiyue people's territory is only left in the Meiling area, and now the Qin army is advancing on the east, west, and north sides of the Meiyue people. Their only way to survive is to The only thing left is to flee to Nanhai County, and in that case, the life and death of Meiyue people will be controlled by Zhao Tuo, which Mei Juan does not want to see.
