Chapter 74: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquers Long Hui

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, although he suffered great losses, he still sent Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Li Guang to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Shangjun and Longcheng.

Li Guang led 40,000 soldiers and horses to raid Shangjun, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led 60,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Longcheng. The tactics adopted by Yingbu this time were that the 14th Army first effectively damaged the enemy with throwing sticks, then used the battle axes against the chariots, and the 16th Army used balls and heads against the cavalry.

The rest of the soldiers are aimed at the infantry, the Queensland aborigines as the vanguard army with bronze swords and the Western Han army fought together, although in the face of the iron ring hand knife, the bronze sword will almost break, but these loyal and Longhui soldiers are basically with the body for one, first let the Han army pierce their bodies and use the bronze sword to fight back at the last moment, Li Guang Lao broke and let the soldiers directly choose to behead, even if this is not afraid of death, the 10,000 Queensland natives also fought more than 5,000 Han troops, and then the Eighth Army and Sumerian soldiers also rushed into the chaotic battle.

Li Guang himself sighed that this battle was the most difficult battle he had encountered. More than 40,000 of the 60,000 casualties on the Yingbu side, and only 10,000 of Li Guang's 40,000 people remained.

Stalemate with each other. In Longcheng, after Wei Qinghuo's 60,000 troops arrived, Long Hui sent Chen Wu and Han Xin to lead the troops to the newly built First Army, equipped with Warring States wooden tire leather armor, horse leather armor, Warring States compound bow, and Irish bronze sword.

The new Second Army is equipped with Warring States Bronze Hammer, Warring States Leather Armor, Warring States Iron Sword, New Third Army is equipped with Chain Ball Flails, Warring States Iron Halberd, Warring States Bronze Armor, the Nineteenth Army is equipped with German Tomahawks, Philippine Throwing Tomahawks, Nordic Bronze Swords, Aztec soldiers are equipped with Aztec stone knives, Qin Bronze Knives, Aztec stone knives are 100 cm long and weigh 1.5 kg.

The aborigines of New Zealand are armed with a pointed tail stick, a Qin bronze spear, the pointed tail stick is 140 cm long and weighs 3.5 kg, one is sharp and the other is thick, and it can be swung to attack or stab.

The aborigines of New Zealand are armed with Malian tomahawks and bronze halberds. The Australian natives were equipped with hooks and sickles, and Qin Tongge, Han Xin and Chen Wu led 80,000 troops to meet the enemy.

Han Xin ordered the New First Army, the New Third Army, and the Nineteenth Army to block the Han chariots and cavalry, and the New Second Army and 40,000 other troops fought against the Han infantry.

At the beginning of the war, the two sides were evenly matched, Long Hui's side tried to gain the upper hand even more, three hours of fierce fighting, Wei Qing Huo Quai's 60,000 army led by less than 20,000 people, Long Hui's side of 80,000 people only had more than 20,000 left, Wei Qing asked for a truce and talked to Long Hui.

What does Wei Lingjun want to talk to me about? General Long, Emperor Wu just wants the general to return, and he will definitely be promoted to the rank of knight in the future.

General Wei, please go back and tell Emperor Wu, I don't want to listen to anyone's orders, if you want to fight, send troops to station, I am not afraid of Longcheng, but please think twice, if you anger me, I am afraid that I will enter Chang'an.

I will bring the general's words, please forgive the general, we are obedient to the order to do things involuntarily. I admire General Wei and General Huo very much, and he will invite the two generals to have a drink if he has a fate.

So the two of us took their leave. The Han army retreated back to Chang'an. Long Hui transferred the New Fourth Army to equip the Warring States Bronze Crossbow, the Warring States Bronze Arm Armor, and the Warring States Bronze Armor.

The New Fifth Army was armed with the Warring States Steel Sword and the Borneo Tomahawk. The New Sixth Army is equipped with Qin copper hooks and Japanese flails. The New Seventh Army is equipped with Qin bows, Qin knight armor, and Inca tomahawks.

40,000 people from the Fourth Army were transferred to Longcheng to strengthen the protection of Longcheng. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very angry when he heard Wei Qing's report, but there was no way to fight the Han army again and again, and there were not enough soldiers for the Han army to carry out the conquest.

Zhao Yingqi died of illness and was nicknamed

"Ming King of Nanyue"; The crown prince Zhao Xing ascended the throne, and his mother became the queen mother. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent An Guo Shaoji as an envoy to Nanyue to tell Zhao Xing and the Empress Dowager that they should go to Chang'an to worship Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty following the internal princes of the Han Dynasty; At the same time, he ordered the eloquent Doctor Zhongjun and the brave Wei Chen to assist Anguo Shaoji as an envoy, and the guard captain Lu Bode led troops to garrison Guiyang to receive the envoy.

At this time, Zhao Xingshang was young, the Empress Dowager was a native of the Central Plains, and the real power of Nanyue was actually in the hands of Prime Minister Lu Jia.

When the Empress Dowager was not married to Zhao Yingqi, she had an affair with Anguo Shaoji, and this time Anguo Shaoji sent an envoy, they fornicated again, and the South Vietnamese people did not trust the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager felt the isolation of the government and the opposition, fearing that the war would endanger her position, and also wanted to rely on the prestige of the Han Dynasty to consolidate her position, so she repeatedly persuaded Zhao Xing and his ministers to belong to the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, a letter was sent to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty through an envoy, requesting that the internal princes of the Han Dynasty go to Chang'an to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty every three years, and remove the border passes on the border between Nanyue and the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty agreed to the request of the Empress Dowager and gave the official seals to the prime minister, internal history, lieutenant and grand master of the Nanyue Kingdom, and the rest of the official positions were placed by the Nanyue State itself, which meant that the Han Dynasty court directly appointed and dismissed the senior officials of the Nanyue Kingdom.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also abolished the barbaric torture of the Nanyue Kingdom, such as torture and execution, and enforced the laws of the Han Dynasty in the same way as the internal princes of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the envoys sent to South Vietnam will stay behind to pacify South Vietnam and strive for stability in South Vietnam.

After Zhao Xing and Empress Dowager received the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they immediately prepared to pack up and prepare to go to Chang'an to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Lü Jia, the prime minister of Nanyue, lived a relatively long life, from Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yingqi, to Zhao Xing, all of whom were assisted by him, and were three generations of prime ministers.

There are more than 70 officials in South Vietnam, and there are marriages with the South Vietnamese royal family, and their status is prominent, and they have won the trust of the Yue people, and their prestige exceeds that of Zhao Xing.

Lü Jia strongly opposed the Han Dynasty in South Vietnam, and advised Zhao Xing many times, but Zhao Xing never listened. This made Lü Jia have the idea of betrayal, and refused to meet with the envoys of the Han Dynasty many times under the pretext of illness.

The envoys of the Han Dynasty all noticed Lü Jia, but due to the situation, they were unable to kill Lü Jia. Zhao Xing and the Empress Dowager were afraid that Lü Jia would attack first, so they arranged a banquet to invite the envoys of the Han Dynasty and Lü Jia, and wanted to use the power of the envoys of the Han Dynasty to kill Lü Jia and others.

During the banquet, the Empress Dowager pointed out to her face that Lü Jia was unwilling to belong to the Han Dynasty, and wanted to provoke the Han Dynasty envoys to kill Lü Jia.

But at this time, Lu Jia's brother, who was a general, was leading his troops to guard outside the palace, and An Guo Shaoji and other envoys hesitated and finally did not dare to make a move.

Lu Jia sensed the murderous aura, and then got up and left the palace, the Empress Dowager was furious and wanted to throw Lu Jia with a spear, but was stopped by Zhao Xing.

After Lü Jia returned, he divided a part of the soldiers under his brother's command and arranged them to his residence to strengthen his defense, and no longer went to see Zhao Xing and the Han Dynasty envoys under the pretext of illness, and secretly conspired with the ministers of the court and China to prepare for a coup d'état.

Lu Jia knew that Zhao Xing had no intention of killing him, so he didn't take action for months, and the Empress Dowager wanted to kill Lu Jia, but she didn't have the ability to do so.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that Lü Jia was disobedient to Zhao Xing, and that Zhao Xing and Empress Dowager Xuan could not control Lü Jia, and the envoys sent were cowardly and incompetent; At the same time, he believed that Zhao Xing and Empress Dowager had already attached themselves to the Han Dynasty, but Lü Jia was the only one who was in rebellion, and it was not worth raising the army, so he wanted to send Zhuang Shen to lead 2,000 people to Nanyue.

Zhuang Shen was reluctant, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Han Qianqiu and Empress Dowager's younger brother Hu Le to lead 2,000 people to Nanyue.

When Han Qianqiu and Yue Le entered the South Yue Kingdom, Lü Jia and others finally staged a coup d'état. Lü Jia told the people that Zhao Xing was too young, and the Empress Dowager was once a member of the Han Dynasty, and had an adulterous affair with the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and wanted to belong to the Han Dynasty, wanted to dedicate the treasures left by the previous king to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and wanted to sell the Nanyue people who followed him to Chang'an to the Han Dynasty as slaves.

Lü Jia and his younger brother then led their troops into the palace and killed Zhao Xing, Empress Dowager Xu, and the envoys of the Han Dynasty.
