Yangshan Pass, Huangxi Pass, Hengpu Pass, these are the three strongholds left by the Qin army after retreating to Lingbei, the three passes form a big triangle in the geographical layout, and its fulcrum is the Huangxi Pass at the intersection of Huangxi and Beijiang. This pass is connected to Yangshan in the northwest, and Hengpu in the northeast, where the shipbuilding goes down the water, but in a few days, you can reach Panyu! It's a thoroughfare.
But now there is only one way left.
Standing at the head of Huangxi Pass and looking northeast, Heifu could see a long black trace, starting from the pass and extending into the distance, which was particularly conspicuous in the summer green rainforest.
It was two years ago, the Qin army set fire to the mountain in Lingnan, leaving a scar on the earth, and on the burned white ground, it also built the Beijiang Road, and this time it marched to Huangxi Pass to restore this road.
While thinking about it, Sangmu took a young man to the top of the city and met Heifu.
"Wu Chen meets the Marquis of Changnan and the general!"
The weak-crowned young man with at least seven or eight moles on his face bowed at Heifu's feet with a respectful attitude, but when he saw Heifu's hairstyle that was no different from Yueren's broken hair, he couldn't help but mutter.
Heifu smiled and stepped forward to help him up and said, "My father and I, but the brother who beheaded the chicken and drank blood to worship, is not in front of the army at the moment, just call my uncle." ”
The person who came was the eldest son of Fanyang Ling Wu Rui, Wu Chen, who was ashamed to say that more than ten years ago, when Heifu pacified Yuzhang, in order to peacefully subdue the local Hao chieftain Yugan Wu clan, he swore an oath with him in accordance with the customs of the Yue people, became brothers, and also pulled Zhao Tuo.
Heifu is the eldest brother, Zhao Tuo is the second, and Wu Rui is the third brother.
But now, Heifu and Zhao Tuo's children are still the chief horns, the eldest son of the third Wu Rui, but he is almost an adult, pinch his fingers, this Wu Chen is 16 years old, and he was born when Wu Rui was 15 years old, which is really powerful......
Wu Rui's family is a Chu person from Yuehua, and because of his relationship with Heifu, he mixed well in Yuzhang. In the Qin-Yue War, after weighing the pros and cons, Wu decisively sided with the Qin Dynasty, and he contributed a lot in the process of the Qin army forcing Dongou to surrender.
After the defeat of Qinxi and Zhonglu in Lingbei last year, the Eastern Route Army also stopped its attack on Minyue, and Wu Rui returned to Yugan and trained 5,000 servant soldiers composed of Ganyue and Yangyue.
After Heifu became the chief general of the Southern Expedition, he ordered Wu Rui to be transferred to the south. Wu Rui also sent his son Wu Chen as a messenger to reply to Heifu and agree on a date for the battle.
Because of the interruption of the Beijiang Road connecting Lingnan and Yuzhang, Wu Chen had to go to Changsha from Nanchang first, and then go south to catch up with Heifu, which can be regarded as catching up with the large army at Huangxi Pass, and delivering Wu Rui's letter, tired and tired, but he did not forget to tell the story before and after.
"My father and I are separated in Nanchang, and at this time he should have arrived at Hengpu Pass, and in a few days, he will be able to enter Beijiang!"
As early as a few months ago, Heifu was planning this battle, and now it is the height of summer, and it is inconvenient to move troops against Lingnan, but it is imperative to restore the three passes and two roads to prepare for the advance after the winter.
Now that he has completely controlled the soldiers in Chenxian, Yangshan, and Huangxi, his morale has improved slightly, and with Wu Rui's army, it is not difficult to reopen Beijiang Road.
But their enemies should not be underestimated, Yang Yue Mei is said to be after the Yue King Goujian, because he was driven by the Chu people, migrated from Yuzhang to Tailing Dageng Ridge, and fought with the cannibal tribes of South Vietnam, relying on weapons from the Central Plains, prevailed, controlled the land along the Beijiang River, and for several generations, there were at least 6,000 men.
Although they suffered heavy losses in the early stages of the war, the Mei clan retreated into the forest for a time, but when Jia He was defeated, they fought their way out of the forest, dealt a fatal blow to the Qin army, and blocked the Beijiang Road, so that Jia He had to retreat to Changsha County.
Recently, I also heard that its leader, Mei Hong, was very welcoming to the Qin army fugitives, and with the help of the fugitives, the Mei clan's power expanded rapidly, and it was comparable to before the war......
"The South Vietnamese tribes captured the Qin pawns, and they all cut off their heads and hung them at home as ornaments, but this Mei clan is different."
After all, the Mei family moved from Lingbei, and lived with the Chu people for hundreds of years, and was relatively civilized.
It also means that they can communicate.
Wu Chen made a suggestion: "My father asked me to report to the prince, saying that he can send someone to persuade Mei Kai to surrender, so that he will not be disturbed along the way, so that Beijiang Province can recover without a fight!" ”
Heifu was noncommittal, but asked rhetorically: "I heard that the Mei family and the Wu family have been in-laws?" ”
Wu Chen didn't dare to deny: "Mei Hong's mother is the sister of my father, and he and I are brothers, but we haven't been in contact for many years. ”
Then, Wu Chen scolded Jia Helai: "Three years ago, my father sent people and envoys to visit the Mei clan and persuade them to submit to Qin. Tao Sima also advocated this strategy back then, but it was a pity that Na Jia He treated him lightly, and even sent troops to attack and harass his subordinates, taking his subordinates as slaves, making the Mei clan rebel and make Qin enemies. ”
This can stab the hornet's nest, until the end of the war, Bac Jiang Province has not been peaceful, and no matter how many fires Jia He set out, he has not been able to burn the forest, nor can he burn the Mei family's resistance.
Now that Jia He is dead, Wu Rui thinks that it is time to change course and restore the policy of restraint, and take the initiative to ask for Heifu to share his worries, anyway, he persuaded the Yue people to surrender, and it is not the first time, two years ago, Dongou Jun surrendered to the Qindong Route Army through Wu Rui's relationship.
But instead of being happy, Hefu developed a hint of jealousy.
While being an official of the Qin Dynasty, he colluded with the princes of Zhuyue and cultivated his own power, this Wu Rui, I'm afraid he doesn't want to be a bat, right?
Wu Rui has 5,000 soldiers under him, and Dongou Jun obeys his words, if you add Mei Kai, who has 6,000 Ding Zhuang, such a person raises his arms and shouts, then Lingbei and Lingnan, the powerful Yue Ren Jun are all from it, and they must be guarded against.
These things were naturally informed by the old subordinate Lixian constantly informing him, so while Heifu transferred Wu Rui to the south, he also added a double insurance, and Lixian followed closely with 5,000 soldiers......
Wu Rui probably also sensed Heifu's concerns, and directly sent his son to Huangxi Pass, he was a messenger and a hostage, and through this move, he told Heifu something that was not written in the letter:
"Wu Rui, there is no dissent!"
But Heifu still rejected Wu Rui's suggestion, looked into the distance with his hands and said: "It's good to surrender the army without a fight, but at this time and that time, the army is newly defeated, if you send someone to persuade you to surrender at this time, as if you are afraid of the Mei family, the Mei family will be light on Qin, and you may regret it at any time, and then cut off the northern road." ”
Although Heifu said to Qin Shi Huang's recital: "The way of the southern expedition is to attack the people first, and attack the ground to the bottom." Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. "But even if you want to play psychological warfare, it is on the premise of defeating by force, and the Yue people must have a sense of awe for the Qin army!
A ruthless color flashed in Heifu's eyes: "They must be completely defeated, and then let them bow down!" ”
Hearing that he was still going to fight, Wu Chen was a little worried:
"But Mei's territory is located in the upper reaches of the Beijiang River, the mountains are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, when General Jia was in charge, he sent troops into the mountains several times, but there was no return, and now there are more fugitives to help him build a city, and it is more difficult to attack."
"If you are not afraid that he has a city, you are afraid that he will not have a city."
Heifu laughed, sometimes civilized, there are also disadvantages of enlightenment, compared to attacking fortified positions, the Qin army is more afraid of playing hide and seek with the Yue people!
"How does the prince plan to attack?"
Heifu looked at him: "I heard that when you were studying in Nanchang, you were classmates with Li Cang, and the relationship was very good?" ”
"It's a classmate, but it's also a friend."
Wu Chen was a little helpless, the relationship between the two was indeed very good, unlike their fathers, who were not in harmony with each other.
Speaking of this, Wu Chen remembered, isn't Li Cang also in the army of the Marquis of Changnan? Why didn't you see it?
Hefu answered his doubts, pointing to the long black scars beneath the city, which spread out towards the undulating northeast of the mountains, as if there was no end:
"He went there!"
……
At the same time, in the upper reaches of the Beijiang River, at the edge of the forest, an arrow fell in front of Li Cang and more than a hundred people behind him, and the arrow feathers shook slightly......
Facing the Yue archers hidden in the forest, but everywhere, Li Cang, who was dressed in brown, nodded to the middle-aged man next to him, and the man stood up and shouted:
"Don't use force, we are widowers who escaped from the Qin camp and came to seek refuge in Taijun!"
These more than 100 people, although they are all short-handed guards under Heifu, and they have been well-trained for half a year, but they are inevitably a little nervous when they go deep into the enemy's territory alone and carry out the strategy of deception and surrender.
There was silence for a while, and finally a voice answered indifferently: "Really? ”
It was the standard Nanchu accent, a fugitive who had taken refuge with the Mei clan earlier.
"It's true!"
Li Cang stepped forward, pointed to himself, and more than 100 people behind him cut off their buns, and the short hair that was no different from the Yue people, and said loudly:
"That's proof! The bun has been broken, and from now on, we will not be Xia people, but Yue people! ”
