In winter, Lingnan is rainy and continuous, the warm and humid airflow is entrenched in the south of Wuling all the year round, even if it is a cold winter, the wax moon is still warm as spring, a long shirt is very comfortable to go out, and the summer in the south is cooler than the north with the sea breeze. ◆

In the palace of Nanyue, Zhao Tuo opened his eyes, the biological clock he had cultivated for decades allowed him to wake up on time at sunrise, and the chamberlain pushed a four-wheeled cart to the huge terrace, and the four-story civil high-rise building was ten feet, which was the highest height in South Vietnam.

Enjoying the beautiful sunrise, he likes to watch the sunrise very much, which was a habit developed in the pre-Qin era and has been maintained until now.

Cao Shi accompanied the old man to enjoy the rising sun, in the past month he would often come to accompany him, the chamberlain had blocked a few times, Zhao Tuo did not like to be disturbed when he looked at the rising sun, even if it was his own son and grandson, but Zhao Tuo unexpectedly allowed him to watch the scenery together.

"I remember that it was the twenty-eighth year of the first emperor (219 years ago), I was a 22-year-old young man in his prime, with the accumulation of meritorious service in the battle to destroy the Qin to the five major lords, as the deputy general of Tu Sui led the Qin army of 3o thousand to pacify South Vietnam, we Qin people are not used to the hot and humid climate of South Vietnam, to Wuling was poisoned by the miasma tens of thousands of people, after the Wuling water and soil disobeyed tens of thousands of people lost their combat effectiveness, the native people of South Vietnam are like cunning snakes, burrowing into the woods with quenched spears, blowing arrows to attack us, poisoned in our water, lured us to the dense forest to attack, and we suffered a big loss in that battle, 3o people died, almost 2o people died, and Tu Sui also died. ”

Zhao Tuo's mouth is a standard Guanzhong Qin dialect, and it has not changed in the slightest for a hundred years.

He, like Zhao Gao, won the surname Zhao, and for more than ten years before Qin swept the world, he followed his father to join Qin as a doctor early. And he received special treatment as a relative of the same clan, and he accumulated meritorious service from the public servant to the high lord of the five doctors step by step. Another famous general at the same time, the grandson of Wang Qian. Wang Li, who commanded the Great Wall Army, is also the fifth master.

The great convenience brought to him by the clan status is not only these, at the age of twenty-two, he can become the deputy general of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, and Zhao Kuo, who commands 400,000 Zhao troops, and Cao Shi, who commands 200,000 Han troops, has a fight.

Zhao Tuo's beard is white and old, he can barely walk with the help of crutches, the 1oo-year-old man speaks a little slurred, the tall body is like a clothes rack, and the former strong body has become skinny. The old man in his last years is enjoying one of the few good times in his old age.

"Tu Sui died very miserably, he was poisoned by the Nanyue people, drank the poison of the Nanyue people, his stomach bulged like a pregnant woman, he happened to be a sunny dawn before he died, just like today's weather, today's sun, he grabbed my hand and told me to remember my mission, the mission of being a Qin person. I will never forget that sentence, he shook my heart. ”

"What?"

"We are not expanding the territory for the First Emperor, but looking for a place for the Qin people to live, and the land in Guanzhong is rich and beautiful, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. But our Qin people will have to get out of Guanzhong sooner or later, just as the prosperity of the Three Jin Dynasty comes from the mountains and rivers on the surface, but the hegemony of the Jin people comes from going out. No matter how good our hometown is, we must survive outside, and the opportunities left by our hometown will never be enough. Nanyue is the greatest attempt of our Qin people to the south of Bashu, and we are the pioneers of the Qin people. Lay the foundation for future generations to go south, even if you die, you will have no regrets! Tu Sui was buried by my own hands, there were too many worms in his body, and he swallowed his breath that morning, and I set his body on fire with a clean and unsullied fire, and I will never forget that morning when I watched those hateful pairs of worms twist and struggle in the flames and die. ”

Zhao Tuo held his cheek with one hand and pondered quietly, his snow-white long eyebrows sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes provoking memories of the eventful years buried in the depths of memory.

Cao Shi was silent.

Every word of an old man over 100 years old will have a great impact on the great, and perhaps only at his age can he realize the profound wisdom of seeing through the red dust and seeing through life and death.

"Ren Huan, he is the second general sent by the first emperor, bringing 2o million troops to support South Vietnam, under our guidance to bypass the Jedi of Wuling, learn the lessons of the last failure to avoid drilling into the woods and the barbaric Yue people fighting, we all the way to capture Panyu, kill the Nanyue Wang Su family full of doors, we occupied the best arable land in the South Yue Plain, the Yue people were forced by us to the mountains and could not come out, it only took 4 years, the Yue people finally couldn't stand the hard life in the mountains, and the rags came out of the dense forest and surrendered, It was the happiest time in my life, far happier than destroying Wei, destroying Zhao, destroying Chu, and destroying Qi, the Yue people treated our wounds, taught us to avoid being killed by the miasma, and the planting habits of South Vietnam, I am the commander of Longchuan County, in Longchuan to appease the West Ouyue people, and spend a few years of peaceful life......"

Zhao Tuo's tone changed from passionate to flat, slowly telling the process of his pacification of Xiou, and transformed Longchuan from the most barbaric area on the border of South Vietnam into an important pillar second only to Panyu closest to the Qin army, his Qin wife died of illness, and married a Yue woman as his wife in the local area, the woman gave birth to three sons and two daughters for him, the eldest son and the second son did not live past 1o years old, only the youngest son grew up to adulthood, but he did not expect to die of illness at the age of thirty, leaving only the youngest grandson Zhao Yuan to raise and grow up.

Cao Shi didn't interrupt the old chatter until the old man realized that he was talking about the wrong topic.

"I'm sorry! That's how people break their mouths when they're old, where did I just talk about? Ren Hao was seriously ill and did not treat me to return to Panyu, in fact, I know that he will not live long, his age is more than twenty years older than me, his body has not been timely adjusted by the Yue people, it is a blessing to live in South Vietnam for ten years, he is also a morning before he died, maybe I have a fate with the morning sunrise, the first emperor has been dead for two years, he said to me that Qin Zheng has no way to disturb the Central Plains, Panyu has negative mountains and dangers, blocking the South China Sea, thousands of miles from east to west, quite Chinese complementary, this is also the lord of a state, can establish a country. Appointed me as the governor of the South China Sea, commanded more than 200,000 Qin people and 2 million Yue people, issued an order to steal troops and rush to gather troops to defend themselves, and when the Chu-Han war was at its fiercest, I was called king. ”

Cao Shi was silent, Zhao Tuo's claim to be the king was so unfazed, as if the neighbor next door gave birth to a big fat boy, compared to the magnificent Chu-Han War, Zhao Tuo's claim to be the king was just a small footnote in that era, and there was really no need to be too surprised.

"Isn't my story very boring? I think so, too! The ups and downs of the first half of my life. In the second half of my life, I lived in South Vietnam for too long. It's been so long that I've forgotten my mission, and I've forgotten Tu Sui's instructions before he died. I thought my life was going to end in South Vietnam until you came along. ”

Zhao Tuo sighed with emotion: "Chu people! I haven't met Liu Bang, but I know a lot about his life, he is a group of thieves who rebelled against Great Qin, he is the king of Han who conquered the Three Qins, he is the Emperor of Han who destroyed Chu and called the emperor, I watched him grow from an ordinary thief leader to the founding monarch of a great empire, Liu Bang is the first emperor since his death. The first emperor worthy of the name, I hate the Chu people very much, I hate the Han people very much, but I have to accept the reality, the Qin people have become Han people, what do I have to struggle? I'm surprised by your arrival, and even more surprised at your youth, you're only eighteen years old this year, right? ”

Cao Shi said: "The tenth month of the calendar is the new year, and after October, you will be nineteen years old. ”

Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "It's much younger than I was back then." I was appointed as the deputy general of the Qin army at the age of 21, and you became a general of the Han army at the age of eighteen, and I am not as good as you. ”

Cao Shi disagreed: "On the orders of the Son of Heaven, I tremble every day like walking on thin ice." Not to be envied. ”

"You can think so, I have been the king of South Vietnam for more than 60 years, and I attacked South Vietnam after Gao. I had privately engraved the emperor's seal, and the two sides discussed it and then destroyed it. I have been the emperor of the soil for decades, and no one knows the emperor better than me. Your background is superior, your status is noble, the emperor is very close to you and loves you very much, but after all, one day he will hate you, fear you, and guard against you until he kills you, Wu Zixu, the literature is the old yellow calendar of the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Mu, Lian Po, and Meng Tian were born in a hundred years, and their yesterday is your tomorrow. ”

"No, it won't."

"How can an old man lie to you, a young man, when he is a hundred years old? My grandchildren, great-grandchildren still rely on your care, the old man's body is not spare to return to Guanzhong, stay in Panyu for a few years to live quietly, and bring the ashes back to Xianyang for burial after death. ”

Cao Shi was silent, he didn't know how to answer Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo knew that he was very embarrassed, his snow-white eyebrows trembled, the young man in front of him was Cao Shen's great-grandson, it was more than enough to be his great-grandson according to his age, and his great-grandson Zhao Yingqi was slightly older than Cao Shi.

Sixteen-year-old officials worship Shaofu is famous all over the world, eighteen-year-old worship car riding general, first destroy Yelang, and then destroy Nanyue, put it in the Great Qin Empire, the first emperor also has to reuse such talents, Li Xin is not a young twenty-year-old Qin general, led the Qin army of 200,000 to defeat Chu and returned to Xianyang, the advantage of youth is that the future is great, but youth is not perfect, young suddenly need to pay a huge price.

"You must understand, 74 years ago, like you, I was faced with a heavy choice, how to deal with the first emperor in South Vietnam, my choice is to take root in South Vietnam, face the sea and plough in Si, even if the Great Qin Empire is prosperous, I will not return to Xianyang, I was too young when I made meritorious service, and I was jealous of my colleagues in the hundred officials, when I was old and far away from the center for too long, I was jealous of the Son of Heaven, it is better to stay in the wilderness and be a feudal official, if the times allow, I will be like I am today."

Good boy, ask for the king!

Cao Shi was clever, and when he came back to his senses, he was standing in the middle of the corridor, and the guards on both sides stood motionless to protect the left and right.

Zhao Tuo's old thighs and feet are not good, and his weak body is not suitable for sitting for a long time.

He was a great hero in the first half of his life, at least in the eyes of the Qin people, he was a hero who destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and in the second half of his life, he evolved into a hero who split the territory and watched from the sidelines, watching Daqin go to extinction, and watching the creation of the Han Dynasty be born.

Zhao Tuo's life is unusually complicated, or everyone who has lived more than 100 years old is a living dictionary, the crystallization of civilization of an era, and a treasure of inheritance culture.

This month, I heard Zhao Tuo talk about a lot of old things in the old Qin, the old man himself is like a living dictionary, telling the story of the Great Qin Empire and even the Qin Xiaogong era, and the story since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, which is completely different from the broken and fragmentary records of the history books, more detailed and more tortuous, Cao Shi will take a pen and paper to record his words every day.

As November entered winter, the Han army was stationed in South Vietnam and did not move.

Besides, don't care about the inconvenience of the cold weather in the north and the freezing of the mountains and mountains, just say that the trouble of not adapting to the water and soil has just found a way to solve, and immediately set off to cross the mountains and mountains, maybe a group of people will have to fall ill, it is better to stay in the Panyu Plain to survive the long winter, it is better than stepping on the wet and cold land, drenched in cold rain. breathed a poisonous miasma, and crawled back to Chang'an.

It is neither convenient to walk nor walk. The territory of South Vietnam was only freed up to pacify, and now the withdrawal of troops will be wasted.

There are many arrogant people who are blindfolded and even lawless. Especially some of the perennial living in the mountains to Shengyue, both unwilling to farm, and refuse to sinicize, maintain a primitive tribal life without clothes, smear strange oil paint on the body, use blow arrows, javelins and inferior bows and arrows as weapons, good at quenching poison and raising insects, even the mature Yue who lives in Panyu is not happy to deal with them.

These people are the king of Nanyue, and they have no choice but to maintain a fettered cooperative relationship. Shengyue occasionally went down the mountain to buy daily necessities from ripe Yue, and used animal skins, rhino horns, and ivory hunted in the mountains in exchange for rice, salt, coarse cloth, hemp rope and other items.

The king of Nanyue was captured, and the vigilant Shengyue refused to surrender, and they had been on guard in the mountains for more than a month, most of them scattered in the mountains of the southwest, some with ties to the Barbarians of Jumachi, and some with close ties to Luo Yue (Vietnamese) further south.

According to the Han system. Cao Shi appointed Zhao Sui as the southern governor, and led 10,000 South Vietnamese barbarians and 10,000 Yelang barbarians to stationed in Xi'ou, especially in the Longbian (Hanoi, Vietnam) area to calm Fusheng Yue, where the plain area was not weak to Panyu at all.

The report of the war against South Vietnam was compiled by him into a multi-page report on the fight for Vietnam and submitted to the emperor. Its contents covered almost all the details of the conquest of South Vietnam, and considering the secrecy that only the emperor had permission to access, the envoy had just left for half a month. It is expected that the dry period of winter will take some time, and it will be almost three months later to wait for the Son of Heaven to reply.

The Son of Heaven replied. Counties were set up in South Vietnam to dispatch bureaucrats and relocate Han people. It is more important to guide and educate the Yue people to become sinicized, to teach the Yue people more advanced techniques for planting crops, and more importantly, to organize the households of the people, and to compile the Luli system and the basic system of the three elders in the township, the Sui Fu, the Yougui, the Pavilion Chief, the Rank, and the Lizheng, and to do this, we must find ways to get the Shengyue in the mountains out.

"It's not difficult to get the way out, let the more familiar people take the lead to capture the more they are born, the more they are relegated to slaves, the more they can be promoted to untouchables if they are captured by meritorious service, and then they can be promoted to Luzuo City Nationality by meritorious service, and they can be civilians if they continue to make meritorious contributions, and the more students they catch, the fewer they will be in the mountains."

Chen Wuxian stood up and said: "Mr. Master, our Han army is an upright teacher, and making such an action will damage the face of the Han family!" It should be mentioned that the army will attack Shengyue, and the soldiers will be afraid as soon as they arrive. ”

"Chen Duwei is wrong! You only know one and don't know the other, treat the barbarian tribes who are illiterate and unwilling to be sinicized, it is useless to influence them with virtue, the barbarians are very united, with the help of geographical advantages, hiding in the mountains and forests with the protection of poisonous miasma can play hide and seek, Zhao Sui, the southern governor, fought in Luo Yue for almost a month without any achievements, and another year is only afraid that there will be little effect, how long can we be better? If Shengyue is not pulled out for a day, the Qi people south of Wuling will achieve nothing, and the hidden dangers on the border will sooner or later become poisonous sores that endanger the safety of South Vietnam. ”

Li You retorted: "What are you afraid of if there is a hidden danger? There are hidden dangers on all sides of my Han family, so what's the harm in leaving a little Shengyue? ”

"Li Duwei's statement is not right, General Che Cai has repeatedly ordered South Vietnam to be completely recovered, and it must not become a place outside the law for mermaids to be slaughtered, and the hidden dangers on all sides of the Han family must be eliminated sooner or later, Luo Yuewei's Shengyue is the first step, and solving Shengyue will be of great help to us to solve more barbarian departments."

Cao Shi personally pressed the battle for him, and the master father Yan could rest assured that he could speak boldly, sprinkled tens of thousands of words to explain the strategy of governing the barbarians, and the strategy he talked about was aimed at cultivating a leading party, just like the Huns conquered the Yueshi people, and some of the soft-boned Yueshi people changed their faces, and became the Hugh Tu King, the Hun Evil King, the Luhou King, the Zhelan King and other small kings, willing to act as the lackeys of the Huns to slaughter the Yue clan, and the traitors are often the most ferocious in killing the same clan, because they need to use the blood of the same clan to prove their own right, and they are extremely correct to be lackeys.

Although it is somewhat sad, the meaning of the existence of traitors lies in this, and if they do not prove themselves right, their apostasy will not only be worthless, but will be morally nailed to the pillar of shame of history, and become a stain that can never be washed away.

"We only need some of them to give birth to Yue, the bait step by step to achieve our goal, this is a real yàn, if the real yàn is very successful, South Vietnam will always be peaceful, maybe we can continue to expand the territory to the south, you have the opportunity to go down in history." The master threw out a decoy.

The bait is sweet and delicious, and the big husband can not care about gold and silver goods, because it is something outside the body, and he can not care about the tenderness of beautiful women, because it is a pink skeleton, but there are a few people who don't care about the reputation behind them.

In his later years, in order to pursue the reputation behind him, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty took the initiative to untie the shackles that had suppressed the princes for forty years, and supported the renovation of the new Chang'an and the temple plan, for the name of Emperor Gaozongjing, which is not a meaningless act, at least the historian recorded the life of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and the collection of positive reviews will be more, so as not to be more entangled in killing Chao Wrong, killing the crown prince, and killing Zhou Yafu.

In the face of the temptation of the name behind him, Cao Shibiao was very indifferent, as long as he maintained the momentum and did not make mistakes, his life will go down in history, the generals of the Han army are not so calm and calm, and they do not have a great reputation.

When Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, how many ministers and celebrities contributed to it, and the last person who was qualified to record it was to talk about a few people, among which there were reasons why bamboo slips were inconvenient to record, and more importantly, other people's contributions were inconspicuous and could not arouse the attention of military-blind historians.

Zhao Junyu's eyes lit up: "Maybe it's worth a try." ”

"That's right, isn't it just Shengyue, what are we reluctant to do."

"Just do it!" (To be continued!)

ps: Zhao Tuo is a legendary figure, the general of Qin Shi Huang when he was the emperor of the founding of the country, experienced the second Hu Hai of Qin, and the third son of Qin became the king after his death, and experienced Han Gaozu, Emperor Hui of Han, Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Jing of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han in the era of princes and kings, which can be described as living fossils of Qin and Han.
