Chapter 226: Self-Destruction
A month after the lines of communication were cut off, the South Vietnamese finally realized that something was wrong.
Normally, there would be an exchange of letters in three days, but recently there has not been a single letter from the left and right, and several waves of people have been sent to search for the messenger along the way.
The South Vietnamese army felt that the situation was severe, and the large net cast by the Han army covered several main roads in Longchuan, and the messengers and search teams normally sent were all wiped out.
Zhao sent several more waves of messengers, but still did not get a reply from Pan Yu, and the South Vietnamese generals finally felt that the trouble was a little tricky.
The Han army used the routine of the South Vietnamese army to walk in the wilderness to hunt and kill the messengers of the South Vietnamese army, because they could not figure out how many Han soldiers there were, and the South Vietnamese did not dare to send a large army to encircle and suppress them, for fear that the Han army would seize the opportunity to chase and beat them.
Zhao Yuan was very troubled, fortunately, Zhao Yingqi was unwilling to return to Panyu a few days earlier, otherwise the crown prince would fall into the hands of the Han army again.
"Oh no! Minyue King Su Ying led his army to retreat! ”
"Why retreat?"
"The messenger of Minyue came to the camp to ask for help, saying that Minyue was attacked by the Han army."
Zhao Yuan was shocked and angry, he didn't expect that the Han people would not play their cards according to common sense, and use the advantage of troops to divide troops to attack and harass and force the disintegration of the Sanyue coalition army, how can this battle be fought?
The South Vietnamese generals looked at each other, unable to drag on and unable to get rid of the frontal fight, and no one dared to decide whether they should surrender or not.
Dongou King Su Zhenfu hurriedly walked over, saw the Nanyue generals gathered in the hall, arched his hand and said: "The widow wants to say sorry to the king of Nanyue, the Han army is attacking Minyue on a large scale, and the Dongou country is still in danger of being adjacent to Minyue. ”
"No!" Lu Jia jumped up: "Dongou King can't go." The Sanyue Coalition Army is about to disintegrate, what can we do to resist the Han army's troops! ”
Su Zhenfu shook his head and said, "The Han army is menacing, and I can't resist it. Why waste time here? ”
Zhao Wei gritted his teeth and stood up: "King Dongou must not leave, once King Dongou is gone." The morale of our Tri-Viet coalition forces is bound to collapse, so please wait a few more days anyway. ”
"Dongou is not in a good situation, why do I have the heart to wait here?"
"There is a war in Minyue, you can't go back, the king of Minyue will return first, and he will definitely beware of you returning to Donou, it is better to stay here and wait and see what happens, if the king of Minyue dares to attack Dongou, our two families will jointly attack it."
"Oh no, I still have to go back."
Zhao Yuan was furious. Su Zhenfu is toasting and not eating and drinking, Minyue people are rich and powerful, and a small Dongou dares not to dump the king of Nanyue, how can he be the leader of Sanyue in the future, I saw his face sank: "You must stay today, most of the people who walk out of the camp are not guaranteed, the king of Minyue can kill you at any time, without me to save your life, Dongou Kingdom would have been destroyed a long time ago." You have to learn to be grateful! ”
Su Zhenfu was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Then listen to the king of Nanyue and stay!" ”
"That's right, our Mitsukoshi family. Love each other and support each other, how can you fight in the nest? Zhao Yuan smiled slightly.
After trying his best to persuade his only ally, Zhao Yuan felt tired and couldn't do anything. The medical officer checked his pulse and said that he was a little cold, and he couldn't eat well and sleep unsteadily for half a month. It is normal to have a little illness, and the military and political affairs are entrusted to the crown prince Zhao Yingqi. The physically and mentally exhausted king of Nanyue went to bed early.
In his slumber, he dreamed that his late father beckoned to him, his late mother and grandmother, and finally his grandfather, Zhao Tuo, the wise monarch of the old dragon clock, looked at him with a stabbing stab, as if to pull him to a distant kingdom of heaven.
Zhao Wei woke up, the blanket fell to the bed unconsciously, and half of the window seemed to be blown open by the night wind.
Outside the window, the bright night breeze was cool, and a bright moon climbed up to the sky, and the chill blew goosebumps.
At this time, it is late autumn in October, the new year of the Han calendar.
The stalemate war lasted for more than a month, the South Vietnamese army was at a disadvantage in an all-round way, Zhao Yuan could not see a glimmer of hope for victory, and hoped that the probability of winning the frontal battle was very low.
Walked to the window to enjoy the beautiful night, thinking about his relatives in Panyu, his grandfather Zhao Tuo is old and his physical condition is worrying, and the queen has to take care of her grandfather and take charge of the harem, and she has to pay attention to the specific movements of the ministers left behind in the court.
Nanyue is warm and humid, the buildings are mostly two-story and three-story small bamboo buildings, the first floor is usually uninhabited, Zhao Yuan lives in the highest three-story building in Longchuan City, through the room can overlook the entire Longchuan City, he likes this feeling of overlooking all living beings, Panyu Palace is also a similar structure, his room is on the highest floor.
After looking at the bright moonlight for a while, I was sleepy and wanted to sleep again, so I pushed the window and suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Open the city gates in the middle of the night? ”
Zhao Yuan thought that he had seen it wrong, and stared at the direction of the city gate carefully for a while, the huge gap in the city gate would not be faked, and he rubbed his eyes and looked at it for a while and felt that something was wrong.
The sluggish the brain that doesn't wake up, who opens the door? Why is it open in the middle of the night?
Bell Bell ......
The hurried bell rang, and in an instant Zhao Yuan came back to his senses, and a thought flashed in his mind: "Enemy attack!" Traitor! ”
I didn't have time to think about who betrayed me, and there was a hurried footstep in the corridor: "The king is not good, Dongou King Suzhen reverted to the Han army, and the four gates of the camp outside the city were opened by the Han army, and the city gate was also opened!" ”
"You...... You repeat it again! ”
"King, South Vietnam is coming to an end!"
Zhao Wei was dizzy and almost fell headlong, the generals helped the king of Nanyue up, and saw the fire outside the city rising into the sky, and the smoke billowing covered the bright night sky, and every South Vietnamese person was dripping blood in their hearts, and the South Vietnamese army was finished.
In the camp outside the city, Zhao Yingqi fled to the city without his life in the defeated army, he wore thin clothes and did not carry any weapons, and slept until he was woken up by shouting and killing in the middle of the night, and he was very frightened to see countless red-clothed Han troops galloping in the camp.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, hurry up, we have you to resist here."
Zhao Yingqi rushed out with his head stuffy, and was rushed back by a group of defeated soldiers when he arrived at the camp gate, it turned out that there was a neatly arranged bow and crossbow team of 1,000 people waiting in front of the camp gate for a long time, and the defeated soldiers who escaped were all repelled by the rain of arrows.
The Han army of more than 100,000 troops surrounded on all sides, and 20,000 Dongou soldiers in the camp were willing to lead the party. With only 70,000 South Vietnamese barbarians, there was no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, and the South Vietnamese barbarians who were lucky enough to escape from the camp were chased and killed by the Han cavalry. Only 12 out of 10 actually escaped.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yingqi was not able to get out of the way.
A few times in the camp like a headless fly. was finally captured by a Han army, and when he was caught, the sky was white.
The sun slowly rose from the sky, and the Han army began to count the prisoners.
The checkpoint was temporarily set up in the middle of the camp, and two large basins of water were placed next to the captive procession, and the captives had to wash the muddy water off their faces and confirm their identities.
Zhao Yingqi was reluctant to wash his face, and was forcibly pressed in water by the Han soldiers to wash it, and reluctantly revealed his true face, which immediately attracted exclamations.
Dongou official recognized it at a glance: "It's him!" He is the crown prince of Nanyue! ”
The captain of the Han army laughed and said, "Yo, what does it mean that the crown prince of Nanyue has black mud on his face?" Camouflage? ”
"I have caught the South Vietnamese general Zhao Budo."
"Captured the South Vietnamese envoy Lu Jia!"
All the South Vietnamese generals who were lucky were recognized. There is no one who can get past the level of face recognition.
Zhao Yuan was escorted to the camp, his body was tied up with five flowers and he couldn't move, and when he saw Dongou King An Zhi sitting down, he scolded angrily: "Good you donkey Zhenfu!" I provide you with military rations, war sabers, and guns, and you repay me like this? 20,000 to feed a pack of white-eyed wolves, I am really blind. ”
Su Zhenfu sneered: "King of Nanyue, you and I belong to two camps and do not owe each other, you proposed to fight the Han army, and if I don't come, you will threaten my son's safety." I'm here, you're eating and drinking in the camp, I want to go, you don't let me go, you say you're raising me, but why did I need you to raise? ”
"Whew! There is no me secretly pulling the hind legs. You have already been destroyed eight times by the king of Minyue! ”
"Do you think I will be grateful to you, but how do you know that I also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, you are pulling the hind legs of the king of Minyue for yourself. Once the Dongou Kingdom is merged into the Minyue Kingdom, it will definitely change the overall pattern of Sanyue. Minyue is just around the corner to defeat South Vietnam by himself, are you here to help me? Phew! ”
Zhao Yuan struggled and scolded like crazy: "I killed you bastard." You traitor to Mitsukoshi! I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood! ”
"Zhao Yuan'er, you are not a descendant of the Yue people at all, and you also have the face to call yourself Sanyue, do you know how to write the word shame?" The donkey is restored to the color.
The two kings faced each other and accused each other, and the moment Zhao Yingqi was escorted in, the two shut up at the same time.
Zhao Yuan was afraid, the crown prince Zhao Yingqi was his lifeline, the only heir of Nanyue, and he hadn't married yet, so he didn't dare to fight to break the net.
Cao Shi knocked on the case: "Keep arguing!" I want to see which of you can quarrel with whom! ”
"I'm Zhao Yuan, the king of Nanyue, and the general of the Che Cavalry still hasn't ordered the loosening? And my crown prince Zhao Yingqi, you must respect us. ”
"How dare the general of the defeated army speak bravely, you are like taking the lord and the common people when you defeat the king, and you still demand decent treatment as a prisoner, is this your attitude?" Cao Shi didn't give Zhao Yuan half a good face.
More and more South Vietnamese generals were escorted, and none of the prisoners were like a hammer hitting his heart, and Zhao Yuan was desperate.
Throw away your armor and lose it.
The most regrettable thing is to lose to the despicable Dongou people, without the betrayal of Dongou King Su Zhenfu, he may still be able to persevere, Zhao Yuan's heart has always looked forward to a glimmer of hope for a turnaround, just like Zhao Tuo's attack after defeating Lu Hou decades ago.
It was not until half a month after being captive that the king of South Vietnam gradually realized the cruel reality from his fantasy, and the South Vietnamese army had no power to fight back from beginning to end.
The prisoner car walked along the familiar road like southwest, over the alpine jungle to the edge of the beautiful harbor city, which was his hometown of dreams, Panyu.
The shackles were opened, Zhao Yuan regained his momentary freedom, moved his wrist and walked out of the prisoner car, and the oncoming person made him stunned.
"Zhao Sui, the old general of South Vietnam, led the hundred officials of South Vietnam to meet the general of the Che Cai!"
More than 100 South Vietnamese relics rushed to salute, Cao Shi passed by the stunned Zhao Yuan, walked to Zhao Sui and helped him up: "Thanks to General Zhao who opened the city, led the Han army to drive straight into capture Panyu, captured the former Nanyue King Zhao Tuo and the queen of Nanyue, if there is no accurate news of Panyu, the siege of Longchuan will not be so smooth, and General Zhao's great achievement is gratifying!" ”
Zhao Sui glanced at it: "The general of the chariot cavalry praises falsely, for the general to act in the sky, Zhao Yuan does not know that it is not the fault of the Yue people to advance and retreat and bring about his own destruction, the Yue people are admiring the Han Empire, and the reverence for the Han Emperor can be learned.
