At the fork of Yushui, on the largest boat of the South Vietnamese, the wings of the small rooster that had not yet had a tail (zī) were caught by powerful hands, and the feet were also tied, no matter how it struggled, the knife still approached little by little, and it was simply bled neatly, and was brutally culled, and then it was plucked and dismembered, and the other parts were thrown into the pottery to cook, except for the two chicken leg bones that were carefully removed and cleaned......

Chicken leg bones, the status of this thing in the Yue culture, are similar to tortoise shells, and they are all essential materials for divination.

The agarwood was lit, and in the smoke, the big witch with bright feathers on his head and dye on his face appeared, and he took the leg bones that the patriarchs of the sheep and Jiao tribes respectfully offered, tied them with twine, and inserted them in the place where they were bound, and handed them to the two patriarchs, so that they could pray and recite words in their mouths.

Translated into Xia Yan, it is:

"The left bone is Nong, Nong, and I am too."

"The right bone is a man, and a man is also a man."

This is the chicken ritual of the Yue people, and there are many things asked.

"Can the Buffalo Department stop the Qin army in the upper reaches of Yushui and not let them come here?"

"If the hornets are delayed, will they try to plunder our empty rear?"

"Have you finished harvesting the grain at home?"

The most important thing is: "In this battle, can the sheep and Jiao get out of the whole body?" How long would the Qin stay in South Vietnam? ”

There is a saying in the Central Plains: There is no decision in the matter. The same is true for the Yue people, seeing that there are more and more Qin troops gathered in Sihui, they really don't have much confidence in this battle.

Win the battle? As early as the first war, they collided head-on with the Qin army, resulting in heavy casualties and had to flee into the forests and islands, and finally the Qin retreated under the torture of tropical diseases and lack of food, so that the two could regain their territory.

From that time on, the two departments began to put aside their grudges and marry each other, because they knew that those Qin people would come back sooner or later!

When the rice was ripe and the war broke out again, the two tribes were already well prepared - they gathered all the young and strong, rode the dragon boat carved into the shape of a crocodile, and rushed to the Yushui fork to stop the Qin people from going down the river.

At the same time, he asked the old and weak women and children to cut the rice quickly, and when the rice was harvested, the Yue people would retreat, take their families, hide in the forests and islands, and play hide and seek with the Qin army again.

The plan looks very good, but the head of the sheep tribe is baating, and the head of the Jiaobu army, Gao Ryu, always feels uneasy, so there is this divination.

After the two of them said what they prayed for, Da Wu began to carefully observe all the details on the sides of the two chicken leg bones, inserted them with a thin bamboo mullion that was more than an inch long, and then determined the good luck according to its oblique uprightness. It is said that there are 18 variations of this method, which are generally auspicious for those who are straight and upright or have bones, and those who are curved and oblique or distal to the bone are evil.

The Great Witch fiddled with it for a long time, pointing to every hole and answering their doubts.

"The Buffalo Department is brave and good at fighting, and it will definitely be able to stop the Qin army in Guilin."

"The Hornet's future has been delayed, or there has been infighting because of the competition for the position of patriarch."

"The grain can be harvested, and the lambs in the family can give birth smoothly."

"The Qin people have few boats, and they can't go into the water to defeat the Yue people, we can escape smoothly, and come back after the previous year, the Qin people are already sick, and they can kill and feed the crocodiles in the river."

All doubts are auspicious signs, and Baa Su and Takayasu are slightly relieved.

But this peace of mind only lasted until the early morning of the next day, and it was smashed by the giant ship of the Qin army that went upstream!

The four departments of South Vietnam, with a total population of more than 300,000, among which sheep and Jiao are the most powerful, this time they each dispatched more than 10,000 young and strong people, their ships are nearly 1,000, crowded with the Yushui River, and the Qin army built ships in Huangxi Pass, less than 100 ships, most of them are still grain ships, so they only dare to shrink into the newly built Sihui Water Village, and dare not take the lead.

Although Guilin's Zhao Tuo Department had more boats, it was strongly obstructed by the buffalo department of the Xijiang River and could not come here to meet.

But Ba Su and Gao Ryu never expected that the enemy's boat division would be able to come around from the sea, from Huiji, thousands of miles away, suddenly appear behind them, and block the three rivers of Yushui!

And the Qin army of the Sihui camp also poured out of the nest and lined up on the shore, and at this moment, the Yue people had no way to retreat, whether they were in the water or on the shore!

Ba Su and Gao Zhu didn't care to settle accounts with the old Yue Wu who had miscalculated the good fortune, because the huge building ship of the Qin army had been pushed by the oars, and the same mountain was pressing towards them!

At the Sihui camp, Han Xin, who did not get the opportunity to fight because he belonged to the baggage troops, stood on the sentry tower and watched this spectacular scene intently, this was the first battle of more than 10,000 people he witnessed, although it seemed that the outcome was already doomed.

"Whoever anticipates the enemy, there are eight who are unpredictable and fight, it is really true, Changnan Hou can know himself and the enemy, so the battle is ......"

He looked at the Yue people who were surrounded by the Qin army, panicked, and broke through like a frying pan, but were blocked back by the wooden wall of the building boat and the crossbow shield of the Qin army, and said with a smile: "It's as easy as catching a turtle in an urn!" ”

……

After the First Battle of Sihui, the Yue people were killed and wounded, and the rest were captured by the Qin army, tied with vines, lined up in long lines, or stuffed into building boats, or relied on walking, and walked east in frustration.

Along the way, they were surprised to find that it was not only themselves who were raided, the tiger-wolf-like Qin army boat division, taking advantage of the sail ships, attacked one Yue village after another along the Yushui coast, captured the old and weak women and children, the old women and the children, all of them were pushed and walked on the road and escorted to a place: Panyu.

Panyu is the base camp of the sheep department, it is also the only city in South Vietnam, it is said to be named after Fanshan, Yu Mountain, but it is more likely that the Chu people called this land: outside Kyushu is called the country of Fan, there is no doubt that in the eyes of the Chu people, Nanyue belongs to a remote corner of the country.

"This group of students, how to govern the mature fan, is the key to Daqin's eternal occupation of this place."

At the head of Panyu City, Heifu, who had already arrived here, looked at the Yue people who had been caught in a row, feeling that there was a long way to go.

What they are doing now is different from the annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, although the Six Nations are hostile to the Qin people, but after all, everyone is also of the same root, that war can be called "unification", and at the moment, I am afraid that it is more appropriate to use "colonization".

Although fighting the Xiongnu is also regarded as colonization, the Xiongnu are far away, and their land is empty. Helan and Shuofang are mostly filled by immigrants from Guanzhong, so they are called "New Qinzhong". In Lingnan, it is obviously impossible to slaughter the scattered Yue people, and the immigrants will not be able to come over for a while, so we have to consider the relationship between the two ethnic groups.

In terms of system, Heifu intends to screen among the upper echelons of the Yue people, suppress the anti-Qin faction, support the Qin faction, and let them become the "monarchs" canonized by the imperial court, and govern the territory for generations, as long as they can submit and pay a little tribute, the Qin army will never interfere, and is only satisfied with controlling Panyu City and important transportation waterways.

But at the same time, Heifu also hopes that he can start to "assimilate" and turn razing into summer.

This is much more difficult than a simple military conquest, except for what I said to Lu Jia that day, consider finding a group of Confucian students from the Central Plains who committed crimes because of violating the "law of coercion" and let them poison ...... No, no, in addition to "edifying" the children of the Yue people, perhaps you can consider starting from the faith.

As far as Heff knew, the reason why the Spaniards succeeded in colonizing all of Latin America was not only overwhelming military power, but also faith was an indispensable means. When the colonial pioneers encroached on the land and exterminated the Indians, the Catholic monks followed in the footsteps of the soldiers, sometimes in front of them: "The priests walked behind the soldiers, just as the shadow of the moon accompanied the men."

It's a pity that Daqin doesn't have a priest, and Heifu doesn't plan to create a messy religion, it's a flood beast, do you dare to release it and take it back?

However, for now, there is a ready-made idea that will not offend the reader.

He left the city and let his sworn brother Wu Rui's son, Wu Chen, who had a mole on his face, and Li Cang lead the way to the highest place in Panyu City.

Here is a large earthen platform, hung full of human skulls, placed with many copper drums, obviously is the place of sacrifice of the Yue people, but located in the center of the altar, is a five-headed stone carving of the animal, although the shape is rough, can not be compared with the Qin Dynasty, Greece terracotta stone carving, but the horns on the head, the short tail can be seen, this is a five-headed goat......

That's right, the sheep department that controls Panyu worships the bleating lamb, and there is a widely spread legend.

Wu Chen can not only Xia Yan, but also Yue language, he asked the captured Wu Zhu and told Heifu: It is said that hundreds of years ago, Panyu suffered a disaster, the beasts ran away, the fruit trees died, the South Vietnamese people were hungry, at this time, the sky of the South China Sea suddenly came a melodious music, and there were five colorful auspicious clouds, on which there were five great witches, respectively, riding sheep with different coat colors and ears of rice, descending on Panyu, giving the ears of rice to the Yue people, and then the big witch disappeared, and the five sheep turned into stones and stayed.

This is the reason why the sheep worship the sheep, and Heifu said with a smile, if the five sheep did not turn into stones, they would probably be dismantled by the Yue people who were still drinking blood at that time......

In short, the people of the sheep department believe that it was only after that that they cultivated rice, began a sedentary life, and spread rice cultivation techniques throughout the south.

Regardless of the truth of this legend, Heifu felt that it could grasp a characteristic of Zhuyue.

"Lingnan Zhuyue all worship animal gods, Fujian people worship snakes, we know. The four parts of South Vietnam are sheep, crocodiles (Jiao), wasps, buffaloes, and the area of Hepu, where pearls are produced, as well as the fish department. Ou Yue believes in frogs, and Luo Yue believes in birds. ”

For example, the South Vietnamese people like to eat snakes, which makes the Min people who worship the snake king indignant, and the South Vietnamese people run to the land of Ou Yue to catch frogs and eat, and even cause a war between the two parts!

This is also the reason why South Vietnam is hostile to the Min and Ou people, because they eat everything......

In view of this characteristic of the Yue people, combined with the experience of playing snakes in Minyue and pulling up the dragon flag and saying that it was a snake, Heifu had an idea:

"In the future, it will become a synonym for China's 'dragon', and its characteristics will not be able to include these Yue people's gods?"

The beast has horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a body like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, ears like a cow, you say it is not a coincidence, the beard under the chin is like a goat's beard......

Hawkers,As long as the painting is detailed enough,Any totem can be added,Dragon,Just like Chinese culture,Inclusive,Broad and profound!

So Heifu had an idea, maybe he could graft the dragon of the Central Plains to Nanyue, and through long-term brainwashing propaganda, let Lingnan Zhuyue believe and accept that the dragon is above all the tribal animal gods......

In front of the stone statue of the five sheep, Heifu chatted with Li Cang and Wu Chen about this idea, Li Cang clapped his hands and applauded, but Wu Chen raised a stupid question.

"Junhou, Luo Yue believes in birds, but dragons don't have wings and feathers, and Ouyue believes in frogs, and dragons don't seem to have much to do with frogs......"

"Why can dragons fly?"

Heifu asked rhetorically, "Because the dragon has the ability to fly as a bird, as for why it has no wings, perhaps it is an invisible wing, and mortals cannot see it." ”

Wu Chen thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

"As for the frog ......"

Heifu fell into deep thought, and then laughed and said, "Li Cang, Wu Chen, have you ever heard the dragon cry?" ”

Don't talk about hearing it, I haven't seen it, the two young people shook their heads again and again.

"I've heard a saying that thunder is a dragon's roar."

Heifu pointed to the sky and began to talk nonsense, and he was not afraid that God would not listen to a thunderbolt that would kill him, and Li Cang and Wu Chen looked up and found that there was no cloud over Panyu.

"I also heard Mei Li say that the people of Xiou believe that the frog is the messenger of the Thunder King, because every time there is thunder, the frogs in the field are extremely happy."

Hefu felt that this problem had been solved, and said happily with his palm:

"In that case, how can you say that a dragon is 'like a frog'?"

……

In Heifu's imagination, in the future, the dragon in Lingnan will be a piece of croaking with a mouth. Although this idea is wonderful, after all, it is only a prototype, and it has to be carefully planned and then slowly implemented.

At the beginning of December, Gong Ao, Anpu, Qu Ji and others came to Panyu City, which was reoccupied by the Qin army, and handed over the war merit book to Heifu.

In the book, each meritorious officer occupies two lines, the first line is the name, the position, and the second line is the number of beheadings, and the knighthood proposed by the military judge.

"Sit down, you have handed me this list is long and wide, enough for me to read for half an hour."

Heifu has a habit of discussing merit after the war, he will understand the resume of each outstanding meritorious person, he firmly believes that fierce generals will be sent to the army, and actual combat is the best way to screen out talented people, he can not always rely on these old departments, there must be new people in an endless stream, it is benign.

The old subordinates knew Heifu's habits, so they also sat down separately, not daring to disturb, and endured the illness even more, swallowing back the recommendation that came to their mouths.

Heff swept all the way down, occasionally asking questions when he saw someone who had performed well, and in general he respected the promotion recommended by the military judge according to the decree, and only in a few cases did he gain or benefit.

The army is huge, from the lieutenant to the hundred chiefs, and when he saw that he was near the end, a familiar name suddenly appeared in the eyes of Heifu!

The line on the left is the battle record: "The grain was attacked by the Yue, and the boat landed on the shore to fight, lost 50 people, beheaded 200 people, and was promoted to two levels, which is not more." ”

And his name is ......

Looking back at the line on the right again, Hauff's thick eyebrows raised:

"Under the command of Xiao He, the commander of the Su Governor, the hundred commanders of the baggage battalion, Han Xin?"
