At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 172, Mutiny in Southern Xinjiang, Rise of Zhao Tuo

However, Lu Jia had already helped Zhao Tuo with reinforcements.

He smiled and said: "What's the problem? There are a large number of Yue monarchs in Nanhai County. If you borrow troops from them, you won't have enough troops. Each of these Yue people in southern Xinjiang hates the Qin army. You There is no need to worry about finding allies, and these captain’s soldiers may not work for Qin, and the fierce battle that Magistrate Zhao wants may not happen.”

Zhao Tuo thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will contact the captains from various places and recruit them to Panyu to discuss sending troops."

The richest place in the entire southern Xinjiang is Nanhai County, because there is still a small plain area where food can be grown. If the army wants to go on an expedition, it can only rely on the food and grass here.

Lu Jia said: "Remember to contact those Yue tribes who have conflicts with Qin officials, preferably those with hatred as deep as the sea. I understand the nature of Qin officials. They will definitely be lawless in places where the First Emperor cannot see. Qin officials are against All the people in the Central Plains are like this, not to mention these Yue people who are like savages, I'm afraid they will do even more lawless things here than the emperor."

The feudal princes still rule their own territory, and they still care about the life and death of the people under their rule. However, these Qin officials are exiled officials, and this is not their own territory. They naturally take as much as they can without taking responsibility. .

Zhao Tuo looked embarrassed, but he also agreed with Lu Jia's words. Back then, the First Emperor sent Tu Sui as the chief general, and Tu Sui led the Qin army to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and finally forced the entire southern Xinjiang army's barbarian tribe to rebel, so that they even had no army. After failing to defeat a group of barbarian countries, Ren Xiao later absorbed this lesson and improved the military discipline of the Qin army. But it was only better. It was normal for the Qin army's captain officers to bully the Yue people.

In early June of the 37th year of the First Emperor's reign, Fan Yu died.

After receiving the message from Zhao Tuo, the captains from other places did not think much and each led several hundred personal guards to Panyu City.

Zhao Tuo came to the inn and saw Lu Jia and said, "They are here."

"Then we have to hurry up and march north. If we can't catch up with this battle, we don't know how long we will have to stay in southern Xinjiang." Although these captains were loyal to the First Emperor, they did not want to stay in southern Xinjiang.

Lu Jia cupped his hands and said, "I am under the command of the King of Han to join the army."

After Lu Jia's words, many Qin soldiers lost their fighting spirit, and they did not react until Lu Jia reminded them. Counter pressure, why should we protect these Qin officials who oppress them.

"Is this Xu Fan really so powerful that even His Majesty can't put him down?"

Yu Qing and others looked at the scene in front of them dumbfounded. These were their own soldiers, and they were actually surrendered by the enemy's words.

Lu Jia said: "How much have you prepared?"

Thousands of spears were pointed at them all around, and there were hundreds of crossbowmen behind them. Dark crossbow arrows were aimed at them. It was obvious that they were not going to give them a way to survive.

Wu Yong couldn't believe what his personal guard said and said, "Who is plotting against us?"

But at this time, Wu Yong said strangely: "We brothers have been here for so long, why haven't we seen Zhao Tuo come out yet?"

Is there any better reason in the world to flee from southern Xinjiang than to wipe out the rebels?

Thinking of this, many people laughed.

The chaos in the Central Plains has been a hot topic in southern Xinjiang in recent years, and it has even affected them. The First Emperor asked them to send troops to quell the rebellion, which is no problem. But because the roads in the Central Plains are cut off, they have to provide food and grass, which is a bit difficult for them. There are people in southern Xinjiang, but it is extremely difficult to get food and grass. The Yue people don't have much food and grass. If they exploit the Yue people a little, they will rebel. Until now, they have barely raised enough food and grass to send 10 troops.

Zhao Tuo said: "3000 people. There are 1000 of my confidants plus Zhao soldiers. The Yue tribes from all over the country have united to prepare 2000 people. They are all their strongest warriors. I have equipped them with the best weapons and equipment." Yes, stationed outside the city."

"The latest news coming from the Central Plains is that the puppet King of Han has led an army of 20 to the northern expedition to our Great Qin. Now the entire Central Plains has been reduced to a mess." Captain Yu Qing said in shock.

In the end, Yu Qing looked at the Qin soldiers beside Zhao Tuo. What he just said was not for Zhao Tuo, but for the Qin soldiers around him. He wanted to make these soldiers have some scruples.

But these soldiers looked at Yu Qing's performance with cold eyes. Zhao Tuo has been prepared for a long time. Most of the Qin troops arranged here today are from Zhao and are his confidants. Some are from Chu, and these people are the most hostile to Qin. people, and finally the local Yue people who had a grudge against the Qin officials. They were here to take revenge, so naturally they would not care about what Yu Qing said.

In the hearts of these captains, the First Emperor was no different from a god.

"Brothers of the Qin Army, do you want to give up your current life and go to the Central Plains to fight with a group of unknown people?" Lu Jia came out and shouted at Wu Yong at this time.

Zhao Tuo, accompanied by dozens of personal guards, appeared in front of Wu Yong

He actually stopped the army from continuing to harvest food and grass when the Yue people had a small rebellion.

But such a god could not do anything to a little Xu Fan. You can imagine the shock this brought to them.

Zhao Tuo immediately mobilized 3000 people to kill Panyu Mansion Office from all directions, and the war was about to break out.

Lu Jia's words also hit the pain points of the Qin soldiers. When they were forced to stay in southern Xinjiang, how many of them had their families separated and their families destroyed because of this order. Conferring land for military merit is completely different from what they imagined. What they want is the land in the Central Plains, not the wasteland in southern Xinjiang. They don't want to stay in southern Xinjiang. The First Emperor deceived them. Today someone finally said this, saying In their hearts, many Qin soldiers wanted to cry.

In their view, as long as the First Emperor wanted to do anything, there was nothing he could not do. When he said he would pacify Baiyue, he really pacified Baiyue. When he said he would conquer the Huns in the north, he beat them so that they did not dare to approach the Central Plains. Writing the same text and running the same track as a car are all difficult things, but the First Emperor did them all.

The scene in front of Wu Yong and others was like a bolt from the blue, and he was so shocked that he didn't react for a long time.

"Captain, something bad has happened, we are surrounded." This was the voice from Wu Yong's personal guard, and soon there were shouts of killing outside the government office. "

Originally they thought they would not be able to catch up with the counter-insurgency war. After all, they are the ones who have the deepest understanding of how powerful the First Emperor is. The world has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and many wise kings, wise ministers and wise generals have tried to unify the world but have failed to do so. It took the First Emperor 10 years to do it.

"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Several Qin soldiers dropped their swords and ran towards the direction Zhao Tuo pointed.

"Brothers, don't be afraid that there will be no battle. The puppet Han king's general Ji Bu led the rebel army Wu Rui, and the fierce general Gong Ao led almost more than 100,000 rebels in Qianzhong County. Only we can destroy this army, brother If we fight faster, we may be able to capture the base of the false King of Han. When our brothers have made such great contributions, His Majesty will naturally promote us to stay in Xianyang City to enjoy the blessings, and maybe even be granted the title of Marquis."

Lu Jia glanced at Zhao Tuo, who immediately reacted and said: "Brothers who don't want to be buried with Qin officials can put down their weapons. I, Zhao Tuo, will protect your lives."

This is Panyu, Zhao Tuo's territory. If Qin soldiers and Yue barbarians appear to besiege them, it must be Zhao Tuo's fault.

Yu Qing looked at Zhao Tuo and the others sternly and said: "Zhao Tuo, do you know that your behavior is treason? Rebellion is something that belongs to the Zhu clan in Da Qin. Do you want to be buried with Zhao Tuo? "

And now there is a rebel uprising in the Central Plains. He can no longer live a good life in the Central Plains, and he wants you to die. Such a tyrant who has no faith in his words, why should you listen to them and surrender, brothers of the Qin army? , Don’t sacrifice your life for the land of Qin officials and Ying Zheng, it’s not worth it. "

When Wu Yong heard this, he stared at Lu Jia and said, "The only people who can say such things are the subordinates of the false King of Han. Which traitor are you?"

"More than ten years ago, Ying Zheng sent you to Lingnan in order to let you guard the border. Do you know why he didn't allocate you the land in the Central Plains? That's because the land in the Central Plains has been occupied by people like Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng is not willing to give you the land in the Central Plains. The fertile land is given to you, but Ying Zheng just bullied you into being powerless. He went back on his promise to grant land to you for military merit, and left you in southern Xinjiang for 10 years.

They rushed out, only to find that they were also Qin soldiers, with some Yue barbarians mixed in among them.

"Zhao Tuo, you villain, come out to Naigong!" Wu Yong drew out his sword and roared.

Ren Xiao was a bit unappreciative. The brothers all wanted to leave this barbaric land, but he stopped them from leaving by saying that there was insufficient food, grass and equipment. If they harvested only a little food and grass, the Yue tribe would be there. Why would it cause such trouble?

Wu Yong could still understand what Lu Jia did. After all, he was an enemy and he should use all possible means, but he was still a little confused and looked at Zhao Tuo and said: "You are an official of our Great Qin, why do you want to rebel? "

Lu Jia said: "Now that everything is ready, we can take action to prevent long nights and dreams!"

On the other side, Wu Yong and other captains of the Qin Army gathered at the Panyu County Government Office. They were all old friends. They finally met and talked about their current situation, and then chatted about the situation in the Central Plains.

If you block the way of your brothers, and the superiors are not satisfied with your delay, don't blame your brothers for plotting against you. In this case, Ren Xiao suffered a premeditated assassination.

Zhao Tuo sneered: "I am from Zhao."

This reason really left Wu Yong speechless.

Wu Yong moved his sword-holding hand and said, "You, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, have not yet been exterminated. Today, I will let you know why the Six Kingdoms were defeated by me, Da Qin."

These words obviously hit Zhao Tuo's pain point. "Fire arrows and kill them all!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" Hundreds of long arrows shot at Wu Yong and the others like rain falling from the sky.

"Retreat to the government office!" Wu Yong ordered loudly.

The long arrow fell into Wu Yong and the others, and countless Qin soldiers were shot. The screams came one after another, which was thrilling. Captain Yu Qing was the first to be shot to death by the long arrow before he could react.

But most of the soldiers retreated into the government office.

"What should we do?" Commander Liang Wu and Jiang Hua asked in panic.

Wu Yong said with a cold face: "Of course we prepare the army for war, kill each one and earn another! If you want my life, I will make Zhao Tuo pay the price."

"Soldiers, unite!" Wu Yong roared.

Wu Yong's hundreds of personal guards formed a small square formation.

Liang Wudao: "I'll find another way out!"

"I'll go with you too!" Jiang Hua said in fear.

After speaking, Liang Wu and Jiang Hua led their personal guards to escape from here. They did not want to stay in this place of death, and they also wanted to find a way out in other directions.

Wu Yong looked at the two people running away in panic with a cold face and said: "Two idiots!"

Zhao Tuo was obviously prepared for the rebellion, and escaping would only lead to faster death.

Sure enough, the two of them fled to the back of the government office. As soon as they opened the door and ran out of the courtyard, they were surrounded by two groups of Yue soldiers.

One of the Yue warriors said to Jiang Hua: "Captain Jiang, I didn't expect us to meet here. It's time to repay the debt you owe."

Jiang Hua was frightened and said with a trace of doubt: "Who are you? Do we have any grudges? As long as you let me go, I am willing to give you all my family property!"

The Yue warrior roared angrily: "Whoever wants your money, I want you to pay with your life!"

After saying that, the Yue warriors took the lead in charging, "Kill!"

"We surrender!" Seeing that there was no way to escape, Jiang Hua's personal guards simply surrendered.

Just like Lu Jia said, they are not responsible for the good things happening in the Qin State, but they think of them when they sacrifice their lives. They are not fools and will not sacrifice their lives for the Qin State that bullies them like this.

"Get out of the way!" When Jiang Hua's guards heard this, they hid against the wall.

The Yue warrior rushed all the way to Jiang Hua, and slashed at Jiang Hua with an axe, cutting Jiang Hua into a bloody mess. Then he cut off his head, held it up high and said, "Father, mother, sister, clan members, I have avenged you."

The story of this Yue warrior is also extremely simple. He had a beautiful sister who was attracted by Jiang Hua who came out to hunt, but his sister would rather die than commit suicide.

This made Jiang Hua feel unhappy. In his opinion, he was a captain of the Qin Dynasty. She was lucky to fall in love with a barbarian woman. He actually dared to commit suicide. This was looking down on him. Jiang Hua felt that he couldn't swallow this breath, so he immediately led hundreds of soldiers up the mountain, killed the barbarian girl's family, and massacred all the hundreds of people in the barbarian tribe. Only then did he feel that he was angry, and then Jiang Hua This matter was forgotten.

And this barbarian warrior was the brother of the barbarian girl. He remembered this hatred clearly and dared not forget it for a day. So when Zhao Tuo came more and more to find warriors to assassinate Jiang Hua and the others, he immediately agreed to come to Panyu, just to let him never forget it. What he never expected was that the enemy he had cherished for several years would forget about the murder of his entire family. How could this not make him angry?

On the other side, Liang Wu was also killed by the barbarians, and the battle behind the government office ended.

At the front gate of the government office, the fighting continued.

"Break open the door!" an officer ordered.

"Boom, boom, boom!" More than a dozen soldiers kept rushing against the gate of the government office. Dozens of people worked together, and within a few seconds, the gate of the government office was opened.

However, the interior of the government office is relatively open, and the time it takes to bump into the door gives Wu Yong and the others time to organize the formation of the soldiers.

When Zhao Tuo and the others rushed in, Wu Yong and the others had already formed a front line.

Wu Yong pointed his sword at Zhao Tuo's soldiers and roared: "Kill!"

"Kill!" Zhao Tuo's soldiers also brandished various weapons and killed Wu Yong and the others with ferocious faces.

"Boom!" The two groups of people collided with each other and made a loud noise.

Wu Yong's long sword blocked the left and slashed right. He was extremely brave and killed 5 soldiers in just an instant. The blood of Zhao Tuo's soldiers splashed all over Wu Yong's armor, turning him into a ferocious bloody man. The soldiers behind Wu Yong also followed Wu Yong to attack the enemy army. Most of Zhao Tuo's men were Vietnamese soldiers. They were brave enough, but their formation was not good, and they were defeated by the Qin army of hundreds of people.

Facing such brave Wu Yong and his soldiers, Zhao Tuo said angrily: "Shoot him to death with a crossbow!"

"Boohoo!" Dozens of crossbow arrows were fired at Wu Yong and the soldiers around him.

Wu Yong immediately hid behind a pillar, but he was too tall, so two long arrows hit Wu Yong's body. The long arrows stung Wu Yong, making him even more frantic, and rushed into the soldiers to fight. Zhao Tuo could no longer shoot long arrows, and Wu Yong's personal guards followed him to kill Zhao Tuo's army.

But Zhao Tuo arranged too many soldiers. They were unable to kill them, and many of them were Yue barbarians. Although these people were poorly equipped, they were highly skilled in martial arts and were not afraid of death. Even if they were hit, they would kill Wu Yong. them.

Moreover, the soldiers surrounding the rear also rushed out. Faced with the siege of 3000 people, hundreds of them had no chance of winning.

After fighting like this for half an hour, the number of soldiers around Wu Yong became less and less. Wu Yong was stabbed by spears and pecked by short swords. His armor was in tatters and his whole body became bloody. dripping. I no longer have the strength to fight.

Zhao Tuo's men surrounded Wu Yong, and finally Zhao Tuo walked up to Wu Yong and sneered: "When you plotted against Brother Ren Xiao, you never thought about today."

"Zhao Gou!" Wu Yong taunted with difficulty.

Zhao Tuo was furious and immediately chopped off Wu Yong's head with a sword. Then he asked his bodyguard: "Where are the other four captains? Kill them and bring their heads to me!"

"promise!"

Not long after, the heads of Captain Yu Qing, Captain Liang Wu, and Captain Jiang Hua all came to Zhao Tuo. Only then did he really relax, and all the military leaders of the Qin State in southern Xinjiang were killed by him.

At this time, Lu Jia came over and said, "Congratulations to County Magistrate Zhao. From now on, you alone have the final say in the entire Southern Xinjiang."

Zhao Tuo did not forget Lu Jia's threat to him and sneered: "Congratulations to your Han army for reducing one enemy!"

Lu Jia understood that the rebels had offended him when he forced Zhao Tuo to rebel. It would not be a good thing for Han if he found a way to recover.

Lu Jia immediately said: "Brother Zhao, your danger has not been eliminated. Although you have excepted these four captains, their cronies in southern Xinjiang are still there. I am afraid that thousands of Qin officials in southern Xinjiang will not recognize you today." actions, these are threats to your actions.”

After hearing this, Zhao Tuo understood that his biggest enemy at this time was not Lu Jia, but his colleagues and Pao Ze. Southern Xinjiang did not belong to him yet.
