Chapter 433: Zhao Tuo's Death
The entire Meiyue people perished.
In the face of the bloody facts, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Qin army like a thunderbolt, the veterans of the Qin army in the South Vietnamese army felt hesitant and uneasy.
On the one hand, they were nostalgic for the wealth and power given by the South Vietnamese State, and the newly married Yue women, and on the other hand, they were hopeful for returning to the Qin State and returning to their hometowns.
October 20th.
The Hu army broke through the city of Renhuan.
The location of Ren Huan City is in the area of today's Shaoguan, this pass is also a barrier of Zuihou leading to Panyu City in Nanhai County from Wuling, Zhao Tuo named this city after "Ren Huan", its significance is not trivial. However, the name is loud, does not mean that the city is impregnable, and the South Vietnamese army guarding the city of about 2,000 generals, under the leadership of the captain with the troops, surrendered to the Qin army.
Next, one after another Nanyue passes fell, and its speed not only made the Qin generals feel incredible, but also made the Nanyue monarchs and ministers scramble and panic.
Four will.
Zhao Tuo, the king of South Vietnam, and Lu Jia, the prime minister, stood on the deck of the warship near the four rivers, and nearly 40,000 soldiers of the South Vietnamese army were ready to go down the Xijiang River and turn back to Panyu. Zhao Tuo was helpless, Zuihou still couldn't let go of the foundation of Nanhai County, and decided to divide his troops to block it.
As for Wang Shang's way, what should the Qin army do?
Zhao Tuo thought of Lu Tai.
Compared with other South Vietnamese army generals, Lu Tai at least has the experience of fighting with the Qin army, and Lu Tai has a very good impression of Zhao Tuo these days. Young and promising, shrewd and capable, and quite decisive in the handling of some things, this is the deep impression that Lu Tai left on Zhao Tuo.
In order to make Lu Tai feel at ease and sell his life, Zhao Tuo even simply handed over the tiger talisman seal to Lu Tai, according to Zhao Tuo's thoughts, Lu Tai has been continuously promoted and reused in less than a year since he arrived in South Vietnam. This kindness of knowing is there, how can Lu Tai not die of gratitude.
Lu Tai was ordered to lead 10,000 South Vietnamese troops to garrison Sihui to block Wang Shangjun's attack, for this important task, Lu Tai patted his chest and agreed, but as soon as Zhao Tuo left, Lu Tai's face changed.
"10,000 generals, what can you do? The Qin army in front of him was tens of thousands of people, and there were also Yelang people involved. If he Lu Tai didn't want to die too quickly, he would leave Sihui in a hurry. "Zhao Tuo is just a tool for Lu Tai to use attachment.
In fact, all of Lu Tai's previous actions were actually for one purpose, that is, to grasp military power, and only when he really had a strong army in his hands could Lu Tai be able to confront the Qin army.
Of course, if Zhao Tuo can gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Qin army. Lu Tai didn't mind working for him, but now, it was obvious that the general trend of South Vietnam was gone, and Lu Tai was still young. There is still a big haode time to pass, and he doesn't want to die on the battlefield like this. With a strange idea, Lu Tai did not hesitate to give up abandoning Zhao Tuo, the Bole,
October 22nd.
Lutai fake edict Wu Wang Zhao Tuo general order. He ordered his subordinates to abandon the four meetings and retreat south towards Xiangjun and Jiaozhi. Regarding Lu Tai's order, those generals and colonels in the South Vietnamese army were not without suspicion. But after Lu Tai showed the tiger talisman left by Zhao Tuo, he was completely silent.
Under his bloody pressure, 10,000 generals of the South Vietnamese Army left Lü Hui and fled towards Annam in Xiang County and Jiaozhi County.
The place where Lu Tai chose to flee was different from the target of the Qin army's attack on Panyu, and the area around Annam was already located in the more remote Indochina Peninsula, where the Yue people lived in their behavior and living habits were more alien than the Lingnan Yue people.
After Lü Tai fled without authorization, there was no South Vietnamese army in front of the Qin Expeditionary Force. Just when Zhao Tuo had just stepped into the Yuexiu Mountain Pass, the news that the Qin army was approaching the capital made his eyes dark, and he almost fell off his horse.
October 30th.
Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who once crisscrossed Lingnan and had more than 200,000 troops, was besieged and attacked by the Qin army, and retreated in the capital Panyu City, and the generals under his command fled all the way to less than 20,000 people, and among the more than 20,000 generals, it is not excluded that there are people who hesitate to surrender to Qin.
Zhao Tuo is at the end of his rope.
In the palace, the yellow brocade when he ascended the throne of King Wu not long ago is still hanging on the log beams of the palace, and the palace maids who are just young are hiding in the dark corners tremblingly.
Zhao Tuo returned to the palace, that is, he was furious, compared to the Qin army's fierce attack, Lu Tai's injustice and rebellion made Zhao Tuo feel ashamed, his dignified martial king of Nanyue, would be blinded by a mere coachman, if this was spread, his Zhao Tuo's wisdom would be buried.
Compared with the palace maids who can hide, Xiangguo Lu Jia looks much more embarrassed, he was scolded by Zhao Tuo for a long time, he can only accompany him silently, at this time, he does not dare to have the slightest excuse, after all, Lu Tai is the person he brought back to Lingnan.
Although the person who decided to reuse Lu Tai was Zhao Tuo, Lu Jia could only put this slanderous sentence in his heart, and did not dare to say it in person.
The city of Panyu was besieged.
Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, was still immersed in the anger of his subordinates' rebellion, and did not have the heart to think about how to defend the city, until the Qin army began to attack the city, he realized that although this Panyu city was built on the back of Yuexiu Mountain, it was not an unbreakable golden city.
In the sound of the Qin army's whimpering horns, the generals of the South Vietnamese army guarded this zuihou city in panic, and for ordinary soldiers, they were more confused these days.
Confused about the changes in the battle situation, at a loss as to where he will go next.
In the midst of such confusion, the slightest splash of sparks could trigger an unpredictable mutiny.
November 4th.
After the Qin army besieged the Nanyue royal city for nearly five days, Wang Qinian, the captain of the South Vietnamese military academy guarding the north gate, encouraged the sergeants to open the city gate, so that the Qin army outside the city swarmed in, however, there were too many unforeseen events in the chaotic army, Wang Qinian wanted to invite credit with the merit of dedicating the city, but he didn't want to be overexcited Qin generals who didn't notice it, and did not order the Qin soldiers to show mercy to Wang Qinian and others, but after some chaos, Wang Qinian unfortunately died in the chaos.
Subsequently, the Qin army swept through the streets and alleys of the city, and led the generals straight to the palace of Nanyue, and met Lu Jia, the minister of Nanyue, who rushed to report the news in a panic at the gate of the palace.
It is much more useful to keep a great official of the Nanyue State like Lu Jia than to kill him, and if the Qin State wants to quickly stabilize the situation in Lingnan, Lu Jia is a key figure.
Zhao Tuo did not stop for a few days, when the Qin army entered, he was sleeping on the tent, if he had changed his usual times, there would have been a palace maid who had already come over to report to him, but after Zhao Tuo was inexplicably angry and furious, no one dared to step forward to provoke him. As for the concubines and concubines in the palace, they didn't dare to talk to Zhao Tuo.
When Zhao Tuo heard the sound outside, when he came out with a disheveled sword, he was encountering a soldier who was striding into the dormitory, and as soon as the two fought, Zhao Tuo, who had already passed the prime of life, was the opponent of Zhao Tuo, only after three or four together, Hu Yu picked off Zhao Tuo's sword with a sword, and then stabbed quickly, piercing the sharp edge into Zhao Tuo's abdomen.
"You Qin dog, how dare you kill this king?" Zhao Tuo's eyes widened in horror and disbelief, and he shouted.
"Zhao Tuo, you blocked the gallop road, set yourself up as a king, sat back and watched the fall of the Qin State, and what kind of prince do you have the face, today my Great Qin Heavenly Army is crusading against Yu Ru, it is for the heavens, why not?" Hu Yu shouted, and pushed the hilt of the sword hard, stabbing Zhao Tuo's entire chest and abdomen through. (To be continued......)
