Like the Northern Qi Dynasty, 'Nanyue' is only the name of the Central Plains Empire, and the Nanyue Imperial Court still continues the ancient name of 'Baiyue', with jurisdiction from Fuzhou in the east to Jiaozhi in the west, stretching for more than 4,000 miles, but the terrain is long and narrow, only occupying the coastal line, and the actual territory is not large.

The history of the Chen clan in Nanyue is quite long, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was called a vassal to the then overlord of the Central Plains, Chu, and then it rose and fell, and it was only a county marquis of Nanyue when it was in decline.

Before Jiazi, the Song family and the Jiang family competed for hegemony in the world, and the Chen family took advantage of the loopholes to pacify the princes of Baiyue, and thus unified Baiyue, and also hit the Xiangtan area. It's a pity that he just had the capital to compete for the world, and he met Xu Lie, a general who was leading troops to attack Xiangyang.

Xu Lie looked back: "Yo, where did a group of wild people come out of here", and then pushed to Liuzhou with his soldiers, and the Chen family's dream of chasing the Central Plains was shattered.

Jiazi said that it was a chaotic war between the Three Kingdoms, but there are few records of the confrontation with South Vietnam, basically 'breaking a certain place in a certain year and month, and killing as many enemies as possible'.

Although the enemy of the Central Plains Empire has hardly won a battle, Nanyue is not as unbearable as the people of the Central Plains imagined, the military strength is similar to that of the Su, Chu, and Wei kings, and the financial resources are even stronger than the Su kings who eat sand in the northwest.

If the chaos resumes today, Da Yue is divided into East Yue and West Yue, one country and two monarchs are like fire and water; The Great Qi of the North made a comeback and eyed the Central Plains.

The King of Wei, who was originally used to suppress South Vietnam, had become the Emperor of Dongyue, and all the heavy troops under his command were pulled back to fight against the Western Liang Army.

Taking advantage of the situation at a time of great chaos in the world and setting our sights on the Central Plains, which is vast and rich, is the vision that everyone in power should have. But at such a time, it was not the monarch of South Vietnam who wantonly pulled the Zhuangding rebellion. Chen Jin, the monarch of South Vietnam, contracted a vicious disease a few years ago, and his madness has not been cured, and all political affairs have been handed over to the second prince, Chen Ju.

Chen Ju, the second prince of South Vietnam, is neither the eldest son nor the son-in-law, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to interfere in political affairs. However, the eldest son died early, and Chen Ju's biological mother was Zhou Guifei, who was once the first beauty in South Vietnam and one of the eight leaders in office.

Zhou Guifei died soon after giving birth to the prince Chen Ju, Chen Jin became lovesick, and favored this son to the extreme, and even made his grandfather from a poor family the prince of the country. After Chen Jin contracted a vicious disease, it was not surprising that Chen Ju was able to control the court with the assistance of his grandfather.

No matter how small Nanyue is, it is also a serious 'country', and although the prosperity of the capital Yongzhou is not as good as Chang'an, it is also much stronger than ordinary prefectures and counties.

In September, Yongzhou, the capital of South Vietnam, is still in the summer climate. The streets and alleys are crowded, and the merchants from all over the world gather here, among which there are those who come from the South Sea, and from the Western Regions, all the way through Suzhou, Hexi Corridor, Chang'an, Chudi, ......, the last stop of tens of thousands of miles of business roads, is also here.

At twilight, near Chaohuang Street outside the imperial city, the Anguo Mansion, the post envoy who had just arrived from other places, ran into the mansion quickly and delivered the letter box behind him.

The staff who was waiting outside, took the letter and looked at it twice, then walked quickly to the study and knocked on the door.

The study is neat and elegant, it looks no different from the mansion of the princes and generals of the Central Plains, the only difference is that there are three birdcages hanging in the window, which are not the cuckoos and canaries that the rich squires like, but three black crows, standing quietly in the birdcage, looking at the staff who came in.

On the carved couch in the study, Zhou Qin, who is the Duke of An Guo, sits cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hair is gray and he is over 50 years old, but his skin is as white as a baby, and his complexion is excellent.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Qin opened his eyes, returned to his normal sitting posture, picked up the teacup on the small case, and said calmly:

"Come in."

The door opened, and the staff bowed in, and said softly:

"Duke Zhou, the spies outside have sent news that Da Yue's army in Yueyang suddenly gathered and went south, and it has passed Xiangtan. Da Yue has no opponents south of Chudi, and this army is likely to be coming towards my Baiyue. ”

Chu and South Vietnam are partly bordered, there is no army of the four kings in the south, and 20,000 Xiliang troops are mobilized to the south, it is impossible to hide it, and it is not surprising that South Vietnam can receive the news in time.

However, Da Yue can transfer troops in his own territory, and he has not yet reached the vicinity of Liuzhou, and it is meaningless for Nanyue to know.

Zhou Qin frowned slightly, raised his hand to take the letter, and glanced at it twice:

"Send a letter of honor to the Dayue court, I pay tribute every year, and I also recognize the new monarch of Chang'an City as the lord of the world, and denounce the king of Wei as a traitor to the country. The prince of Su Wang transferred troops like this, so that I could not sit at ease, and let the Dayue court give us an explanation. ”

The staff nodded, and thought for a moment: "King Su's Xu family has never been unreasonable in beating people, and now that he has become the regent, Emperor Dayue is only nine years old, and he can't suppress King Su at all." If you really want to use troops against me Baiyue, it is estimated that it will be shelved after sending the national letter......"

Zhou Qin raised his hand: "Send it over first." Da Yue now has the rebellion of the four kings in the east and the Northern Qi in the north, even if he uses troops against our dynasty, there are not many people, so there is no need to be afraid. ”

The staff thought about it and felt that it was also, if the Dayue Imperial Court was to fight on three sides, and there was a Prince of Northern Qi Zuo behind it, no matter how strong the Xiliang Army was, it would be impossible for it to blossom on all sides. It is estimated that he only noticed that South Vietnam was recruiting troops and horses, and sent some troops to scare them.

Thinking of this, the staff did not say anything more, and bowed and withdrew.

After the door of the study was closed, the flatness on Zhou Qin's face disappeared, he frowned slightly, and sat on the couch and thought for a moment. Then he got up, walked to the desk, wrote a note, put it in a bamboo tube, and tied it to the leg of a black crow.

"Go to the Flying Waters."

"Gah-"

The black crow flew out of the birdcage, circled around the yard, and galloped towards the Liuzhou area in the north......

--------

The area of Yanshan is the place where Dayue and South Vietnam meet.

At dusk, at the pass between the Yan Mountains, the convoy and the horse team passed back and forth under the escort of the dart board, and the South Vietnamese officers and soldiers stood at the city gate with swords in hand, checking the identity of the people entering and leaving.

After Nanyue was almost pushed by Xu Lieping in front of Jiazi, he declared himself a vassal to the Song clan, although they were wary of each other, but they were not enemy countries on the surface, and they had close trade and many merchants.

Because of the recent military service in South Vietnam, many people went out of the customs to Dayue, and the inspection of the pass was stricter than in the past.

Xu Buling stood not far from the pass, and even saw more than a dozen women, children, old and young escorting a cart of bamboo out of the customs. Seeing this scene, Xu Buling shook his head secretly, and saw the whole leopard at a glance, just by looking at the quality of the army here, he could understand why South Vietnam was blocked in the ravines and couldn't get out.

Behind Xu Buling, Zhongli Jiujiu and Zhongli Chuchu stood together, and when they saw the door closed when they came out, they all breathed a sigh of relief. There are also Yuhe, Qingye and many palace guards next to it.

After spending the Mid-Autumn Festival on the building boat, the group galloped to South Vietnam day and night, and just arrived here.

Because he sneaked into South Vietnam to deal with the affairs of the village, it was easy to leak his whereabouts with too many people, and it was difficult for Xu Buling to take care of everything, so he only brought Jiu Jiu and Chu Chu, who were born in South Vietnam, to enter first. The rest of the people stayed outside the gate and waited, if something went wrong, they could directly enter the customs to respond, and Liuzhou was dozens of miles away after the gate, and the distance was not far.

Seeing the destination, Xu Buling turned around and said softly: "Nightingale, you take someone to find a place to live first, and I will enter the customs as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Nightingale nodded: "Childe be careful all the way. ”

Ning Qingye stood beside him with a sword, and originally wanted to follow him into the customs and go to Chu Chu's hometown to have a look, but when he entered a foreign country, he didn't know the details, and it was indeed easy to attract people's eyes and ears when there were too many people, so he just instructed at this time:

"Chu Chu's martial arts are low, what can't you do, and you're more impulsive, you should protect more."

The words are caring, but obviously not very good.

Zhongli Chuchu rolled his eyes, he was used to Ning Qingye's style of speaking, and he was all concerned about her.

Ning Yuhe stood beside Qingye, also a little uneasy: "Ling'er, if you can't deal with it, don't be reckless, and let the little sparrow come back immediately to report the news." Although there are no heroes in the martial arts of South Vietnam, they are really cunning, and there is no shortage of sinister masters like the dead mother-in-law. ”

Zhongli Jiujiu cut lightly and waved his hand: "Nanyue is my sister's territory, don't worry about it, go back and rest." ”

Xu Buling chuckled, seeing that it was getting dark, and it was time to close the door, he didn't say much, and after saying goodbye to Yuhe at night, he took Zhongli master and apprentice to the closed door......

A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and 3,000 words for a day......

It's another short day, and the code words have been too slow lately (ˉ□ˉ)
