Qiang Qin

Calculate and be calculated.

This is the normal state of intrigue between different forces.

Zhao Tuo thought that he could sit back and relax by manipulating Mei Juan and Wuzhu behind the scenes, but he didn't want to be hit by Li Yuan's shadowless punch, which made him almost lie on the ground and couldn't get up.

In order to keep his one-acre three-point land, Zhao Tuo had to abandon Mei Juan, the younger brother who stood in front of him. As for Wu Zhu, because this guy was hiding in the mountainous area of ​​eastern Fujian, Zhao Tuo couldn't help him for a while. .

Among Mitsukoshi.

The strongest is undoubtedly Zhao Tuo, while the weakest is Mei Juan.

As for Wuzhu, it is far away in the Fujian and Yue areas in the southeast. Due to the overlapping forests of Wuyi Mountain and Xianxia Mountain, it is not easy to pass, but it is relatively stable.Of course, if this kind of security is understood in reverse, once Wuzhu's stacked ridge line of defense is breached, then he can only go out to sea by boat and find the island to live on.At that time, perhaps, the Qin army will need to cross the sea to hunt down this remnant of Yue.

On the Five Ridges, the black banner of the Qin Army fluttered against the south wind.

After continuous small-scale battles, Peng Yue's army finally occupied Nanzhang.Taking advantage of the momentum of victory, Qin army vanguard Hu Zhe led his army to continue southward, trying to take down Longchuan, an important military town in the east of Nanyue Kingdom, but Longchuan is obviously not so easy to win. This stone city located on the bank of Wushui The terrain is so high that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Dou Guangde, the general of the South Vietnamese army guarding here, is also a seasoned and prudent man. After a tentative attack, he retreated to the firmly occupied place in Nanzhe.

After occupying Nanzhang, the Qin army established a new supply point here. Peng Yue's army and Feng Xuan's army also joined forces and began to sweep Wuling. , the villages left by the ancestors were burned down and their homes were robbed.Looking at the flames soaring into the sky, the Meiyue people wept bitterly one by one.

But who is to blame for all this.

If they hadn't provoked the Qin State, if Mei Juan hadn't been too ambitious, maybe they could have lived a primitive and self-sufficient life just like other Fan people.

Mei Juan betrayed all relatives.

After the tribes left one after another, there were only less than a thousand troops left under his direct command. The morale of these thousand generals was low, and the army had no fighting spirit, which was the same as when he sent troops to cross the river north.It's completely different.Hiding in the Lianhua Mountain deep in Wuling, the rest of Mei Juan's family were panicked like frightened birds.

First, he witnessed the Xiou people being killed by the Qin army to the point of blood flowing into rivers. Now that the Wuling lair is lost, the Meiyue people are also facing the dilemma of family ruin and death.

"Winter is coming, and the dams have been burned by the Qin people. Where can we cast them?" A soldier of the Meiyue tribe wrapped in cloth strips snorted.

In fact, the winter in the south is no better than the life in the north. The coldness to the bone is so cold for an injured person.It is a deadly threat.

"Hasn't Meihou already contacted Lu Xiang of Nanyue Kingdom? Are we going to Nanhai County?"

"Zhao Tuo, that unscrupulous, unscrupulous and unreputable southern thief, can you listen to his words? He said he was helping us defend Nanzhan City. When the Qin people came to kill them. Where are the Nanyue people? Once we arrive in the South China Sea, we will be killed He eats it."

"If Nanhai County can't go, wouldn't there be King Wuzhu of Minyue who promised to take us in? If we escape there, there will be thousands of miles of mountains blocking us, and the Qin people will not be able to go for a while." Another Meiyue soldier imagined.

As the leader, Mei Juan became upset while listening to the chatter of his subordinates.I don't know when.One after another, unsatisfactory things happened to the Meiyue people one after another. The Meiyue tribe, who used to be the bravest among the Baiyue tribes, is now at the end of the road.

"Meihou, we can't hide any longer. If this continues, the Meiyue tribe will be finished." For a long time, beside Mei Juan, a gray-haired elder of the Meiyue tribe stood up tremblingly, remonstrating road.

"Based on Elder Mei's opinion, what should we do?" Mei Juan said with a sullen face.

"The old man thinks that now that the new Qin Dynasty is powerful, we might as well bow our heads and admit defeat to the Qin army. As long as we can endure for a while, we may not have a chance to make a comeback in the future." Elder Mei said emotionally, with a heavy tone.As an old man who has experienced the transition between Chu and Qin, he can be said to be used to the vicissitudes of this era. If he can let the Meiyue people survive by admitting defeat, it is really nothing.

"Do you think so too?" Mei Juan asked after being silent for a while, staring into bloodshot eyes.

"We, we—!" The people who were stared at by Mei Juan were speechless. The continuous defeat and the death of their comrades gradually woke up these ordinary soldiers who were dazzled by blood. To put it bluntly, they agreed with the elder Mei's words just now, but under Mei Juan's prestige, they really didn't have the courage to speak out what was in their hearts.

"Okay, don't tell me, I also understand that if you want to vote for Qin, you should follow Elder Mei. If you still trust me, Mei Juan, then follow me. From now on, all brothers who follow me, no matter the ends of the world , no matter how difficult it is, I, Mei Juan, will never let you down."

In Mei Juan's tone, there was helplessness and self-blame, and at the same time, there was also deep hope. After Lien Zhan's losing streak, Mei Juan's reputation had fallen to the bottom. In other words, he could no longer rely on the power of the leader. He suppressed different opinions, but he still hoped that these thousand soldiers would still stand by his side, would still trust him, and fight with him.

However, Mei Juan was once again disappointed.Soldiers one after another stood up silently, walked in front of him, and came behind the elder named Mei who would collapse in the wind. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Mei Juan's sharp eyes .

One thousand Meiyue soldiers.

Among them, nearly [-] people chose to stay with the elder named Mei, while Mei Juan embarked on the difficult journey eastward with more than [-] cronies and soldiers who still trusted him.

Because of Zhao Tuo's betrayal, Mei Juan no longer trusted the South Yue people. This time he withdrew from Wuling, he decided to go south for a while, and then turn to the east. However, Mei Juan feels that Minyue is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as no strategic mistakes are made, there is still hope for the last piece of anti-Qin territory.

On the contrary, Mei Juan basically had no hope of whether Zhao Tuo could stop the Qin army. Zhao Tuo could block one Qin army, but could not stop the third Qin army's attack. More importantly, as the battle situation became clearer, Zhao Tuo Those soldiers in Tuo's army who had previously conquered the Qin army in the south would hesitate and surrender to Qin.

——.

mid-October.

Elder Mei, the last representative of the Meiyue forces, handed over the scepter of surrender to Qin to Peng Yue in Nangao City. His attitude was very sincere. He put down his weapons and gave up resistance. To put it bluntly, I hope that Qin Jun can let Mei Yue people go, so that their tribe can continue.

Peng Yue didn't pay much attention to this point, and directly ordered Luan Bu to escort the rest of the Meiyue people to the rear of Yuzhang to take care of them. As for how many of these captives survived along the way, it could only depend on their own luck.At the end of the day, he surrendered when he had nowhere to go. He still wanted to bargain. Obviously, the Meiyue people were too naive.

Peng Yue did not immediately order the execution of these Meiyue people, mainly because of the need for the stability of Wuling. Once the news of the killing of Meiyue captives came out, those hesitant Yue people would be firm in their confidence in resistance. A situation to be avoided.

After solving the Meiyue people, on the one hand, Peng Yue continued to strengthen the mopping up of the Baiyue tribes in the Wuling area; Launch a decisive offensive against the South Vietnamese Army.

Under the leadership of superior forces.The Qin army advanced several ways, even if Zhao Tuo's South Vietnamese army could block the second Qin army at Sihui and Longchuan, it could not stop the Peng Yue army and Feng Xuan army pouring down from Wuling.

After more than two months of fierce fighting, the Qin army's side finally showed their trump card, and in front of Peng Yue's vanguard Hu Zhe, it was the Lingnan Plain with only a few incoherent hills and rolling hills. (To be continued..)
