At the end of March, the war order issued by Zhongshu Province was sent to Wang Ben's command camp in Yuechengling, along with the military letter from the military headquarters, and after receiving the edict and military letter, Wang Ben quickly sent messengers straight to the other four passes in Wuling, and at the same time arranged for the soldiers to pass on several letters and orders issued to the commanders of several bandit legions who were still in Lingnan to plague the Yue people, so that they could prepare to assist the Wuling army to launch a formal attack on the Yue people.

And after receiving Wang Ben's order, the commanders of these bandit legions could only sigh for a long time that the good life they had made a fortune by robbery was finally over, but the military order was difficult to disobey, so they could only pack up their mood and gather their bandits and began to open up camps as the front line of the attack for the arrival of the army.

In mid-April, after Wang Ben received feedback from all the messengers, a war that had been brewing for seven or eight years to conquer Lingnan Baiyue officially began.

Wang Ben personally led an army of 100,000 troops from Yuechengling and Dupangling to attack Xi'ou in two ways, so as to ensure the connection between Lingnan and Lingbei, and at the same time cut off the connection between Xi'ou and Dongou and other Yue peoples.

Zhao Tuo led an army of 50,000 to attack Dongou at Tianling and Mengzhu Ridge.

Ren Huan led an army of 50,000 out of Da Yu Ling to attack South Vietnam.

Because of the enthusiastic help of several bandit troops who had been fighting with the Yue people in Lingnan for several years, the Fifth Route Army quickly defeated a large number of Yue tribes and expanded its control to the core area of the Pearl River Valley in less than a month.

In mid-May, Ren Huan's army attacked the border between South Vietnam and Minyue, and under the flanking attack of Gao Yan's troops, Minyue was defeated on all fronts, a large number of tribes surrendered, and Minzhong County was all pacified, and then the two armies continued to attack south in one place and approached Panyu, where the palace of Nanyue was located.

Almost at the same time, the two armies led by Zhao Tuo also formed a flanking attack on Dongou under the leadership of thousands of bandit legions who had been in the Dongou territory for two or three years, and the 50,000 army rushed to Dongou like a tiger and wolf between the mountains and mountains.

Dongou is a typical mixed ethnic group, which is dominated by the Central Plains and the Yue people, there was a Dongou country between Huiji and Minyue, which is the country established by the second son of the king of Yue, also known as the Dongyue country, after the failure of the Wujiang War, because he did not designate the heir to the throne during his lifetime, the eldest son Yu established the Minyue country in the Fujian region, and the second son Hoof (Ouyang Zaixun) established the Ouyue country in the south of Ouyu Mountain, with Ouyang as the national surname.

But the current Dongou is a tribe driven from Fujian by Gao Yan, so the composition is more complicated, including both the original Dongyue country, Minyue people, and a large number of mountain Yue tribes, Zhuang, Li, Dai, Yao, Miao and other ethnic minorities in the southeast in later generations are almost all separated from Dongou from Dongou, of course, the current Yue people still have a lot of Chu people who escaped when the Qin State conquered.

Generally speaking, Dongou is a hybrid of a different ethnic group, the number of people is about three or four hundred thousand, each tribe has different living habits, hidden in the mountains and mountains, although they all belong to the king of Dongyue, but in fact it is very loose, the only thing that is the same is that they do not want to be conquered by Daqin.

But in the face of Daqin, which has been prepared for ten years, even if there are lofty mountains and intertwined river networks, these loose tribes in Dongyue still can't be stopped, Zhao Tuo's 50,000 army and thousands of rogue legions are like beasts in the valley and ravines rampant, under the suppression of powerful force, large and small Dongyue tribes are like snow meets the sun, and they begin to collapse and disintegrate in an instant, just as Tu Sui said back then, the army is crushed like a flood, in less than a month, Zhao Tuo attacked a large territory, The soldiers were divided into three ways and pointed directly at Cangwu.

Almost at the same time, the 100,000 army led by Wang Ben himself had also broken into the hinterland of Xi'ou, quickly captured the Li River and then quickly expanded along the Pearl River.

In the face of the Xiou tribe, Wang Ben did not kill innocents indiscriminately, but after collecting these Yue tribes, he appointed him as the head of the tribe to continue to belong to their respective tribes, so these surrendered Yue tribes were afraid of the fierceness of the Great Qin army at the same time, but also had a lot less resentment and resistance, in order to speed up the pace of conquering the Lingnan lands, Wang Ben even let the chief of the army and his staff communicate with these monarchs, and sent envoys to contact and communicate with more Yue tribes, under the persuasion of the powerful threat of force and the surrender of the monarch envoy, Soon a large number of Yue tribes began to surrender en masse.

With the surrender and conquest of Luo Yue, Ouyue, Ou Hao, and Ou and other major tribes in the West Ou, by the beginning of May, a large number of areas in the middle and upper reaches of the Pearl River have fallen into the control of the Great Qin army, and Zhao Tuo Ren Huan and other large armies in the southeast have also continued to have war reports, each of them defeated and surrendered many Yue people, the soldiers pointed directly at the original preset attack target, and the fastest Ren Huan has crossed the Pearl River to approach Panyu, the Yue people in the entire Lingnan region have panicked, a large number of Yue people began to scatter and flee, After several years of encroachment policy, the process of boiling frogs in warm water has made the Yue people in Lingnan slowly get used to small-scale battles with Daqin, but in the face of the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of fierce troops, almost all the Yue leaders felt desperate, coupled with the news of various preferential treatment and surrender everywhere, many Yue tribes with strong resistance also began to have different opinions, and people's hearts began to slowly disintegrate.

As the Five Route Army entered the hinterland of Lingnan, a large number of boats and boats also began to enter the Li River through the Ling Canal, and then began to expand to the Pearl River basin along the large and small rivers, continuously replenishing ordnance, grain, grass and medicine to the Daqin army, and even many boats and boats went straight down the Pearl River to the sea, sending a large number of supplies to the Zhao Tuo Renhuan army along the way, and when Daqin's boats appeared near Cangwu and Panyu, Dongou and many Yue people knew that the general trend had gone.

The fact that Daqin built an artificial canal near Yuecheng Ridge has long been spread in Lingnan, but all the Yue people have no way to stop it, although there have been Yue people who want to destroy, but only hundreds of thousands of people go to sneak attack, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and before they get closer, they will be beaten all over the ground by the hooligan army that has already mixed in Lingnan, not to mention that there are nearly 100,000 Qin troops stationed in Yuecheng Ridge and Du Pang Ling, and the 100,000 people and prisoners who repair the canal are not easy to mess with, The hoes and shovels in their hands are sharper and stronger than the tattered knives and guns in the hands of the Yue people, not to mention the Taiyi Divine Thunder that opened the mountain and exploded the stones, the rumbling thunder explosion has hardly been cut off for a whole year, according to the news spread by the Yue people who were captured to help repair the canal, every time the Taiyi Divine Thunder explodes, it will shake like a thunderbolt descending from the sky, and a big mountain will be blown apart in an instant, and then there is a fairy slave of the Qing River Marquis of the Great Qin Zuo Xiangqing casually, and a wide canal will appear out of thin air......

In this wild and primitive era, once anything is related to the gods, all kinds of statements will immediately be deformed.

Coupled with the word of mouth between different tribes and different groups of people, everyone will add a variety of different ideas and speculations to their own descriptions, so even people who have not seen Taiyi Shenlei are also talking about the sky as if they were in the scene when they are promoted, and they only preach that Taiyi Shenlei is a hundred times more terrible than Tianlei, so in the process of building the Lingqu, it is actually a great psychological deterrent and spiritual attack on the Lingnan Yue people, so in the year of the construction of the Lingqu, Many Yue people in the south of Yuecheng Ling were either frightened by the explosion of the roaring Taiyi Divine Thunder and fled, or they ran to the territory of the Qin army early to surrender, and when these Yue people saw the power of the Taiyi God to open the mountain and blast the stones, they were also completely tamed.

In fact, up to now, because of the construction of the Ling Canal and the large use of explosives, the Yue people in the entire Lingnan region have been in a state of extreme chaos, so it has also made the army under the command of Wang Ben easily break into the Lingnan lands, and conquered a large area in less than a month, according to the current situation and the continuous military reports, it will only take half a year at most to conquer Dongou and Xiou and other places, maybe when this winter comes, the entire Lingnan lands will be completely incorporated into the territory of Daqin.

As for the place closer to Vietnam in later generations, Wang Ben did not want to continue to get involved, because when he accepted the emperor's appointment to take charge of the Wuling army to extinguish the Xiang rebels, Wang Ben once personally visited Chen Xu, and Chen Xu also guessed that the emperor had a plan to conquer Lingnan, so he explained to Wang Ben the general situation of the Lingnan lands, and recovered Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan in later generations, basically even if the task of conquering Lingnan was completely completed, Vietnam was more primitive and barbaric than Lingnan at this time, although there were also many Yue tribes, but according to the current population and national strength of Daqin, occupying a place like Vietnam is a completely thankless task, even if it occupies the control of the court in Lingnan, it is already a little powerless.

Therefore, blindly expanding the territory is not the immediate priority of Great Qin, but the most important thing is to make a fortune and increase the population. ()
