Xiang Zhuang left and right.

It wasn't until five days later that Mei Juan was late.

This time the tripartite alliance, Wuling's powerful man Mei Juan actually suffered from gains and losses in his heart, unlike the ambitious Wuzhu and Xiang Zhuang, who was determined to restore the country, he was not confident in defeating the Qin State again.

After Jingnan was beaten by Li Yuan's Qin army, Mei Juan's strength was greatly damaged, and she had to shrink in the old nest Wuling to recuperate, but fortunately, there were no heroes in the Baiyue departments in recent years, which gave Mei Juan a precious opportunity to breathe. But it is precisely this delay that makes Umebe look stable, but in fact the situation is not optimistic.

South of the Five Ridges.

Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, became more and more closely connected with the strong Qin in the north, which made Mei Juan feel strongly uneasy, mixed in the middle of the two great shili of Nanyue and Northern Qin, and were hostile to them respectively, in this case, once the two powers really united, Mei Juan had almost no ability to resist.

Where is the way out?

Is it simply like Zhao Tuo to show favor to the Qin State? The idea of fighting up and uniting with Wu Zhu, Xiang Zhuang and others to oppose Qin Liliang and try to defeat Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, first, and then block the southbound Qin army north of the Great River, is too risky, but the temptation is also extraordinarily tempting.

Divide Jiangnan.

It's much stronger than going around in Wuling.

Mei Juan thought about it, and finally was tempted to move her heart. In addition to the dream of becoming an independent king, but also because he and the Qin army had already fought a vicious battle, with heavy casualties on both sides, there was this layer of grievances, Mei Juan did not dare to imagine that the Qin army would let himself go after occupying Jiangnan.

In the city of Yue Wang, Wu Zhu, Xiang Zhuang, and Mei Juan conspired to reach an agreement on jointly dealing with the southbound Qin army and the Nanyue State, and in order to enhance their own strength, Xiang Zhuang also agreed to disperse his soldiers among the various Yue tribes. Help them learn the advanced tactics of the Central Plains, and at the same time, let these Jiangdong children learn from the Baiyue people how to kill their opponents in the jungle without knowing it.

Battle in the Jungle.

For Xiang Zhuang, Mei Juan and others, the jungle is their natural shelter, and for Li Yuan, who aims to unify the country, after conquering the grassland, he needs to face the conquest of the jungle.

――。

Mid-March.

Ding Gong, a partial general of the Qin army, led a Qin army of more than 3,000 people from Huiji County, the hometown of Yue, to the south. Trying to seize Xianxia Ridge, an important communication pass between Yue and Fujian, he was lured into the ridge by Wuzhu and Xiangzhuang, and Ding Gong failed to break through several times, and Zuihou's whole army was annihilated in Siming Mountain.

Ding Gong is gone.

Jiang Yu, who was stationed in Wu County, urgently ordered the Qin army Zhou Yin and Huan Chu stationed in Huiji to look for it, but only found that Ding Gong led the army into the hinterland of Xianxialing, and then disappeared, and even the carrier pigeons used for reporting were nowhere to be found.

Jiang Yu knew that something was wrong, and was waiting for an urgent letter to Chang'an to inform him of the military situation in the south. Suddenly, a sergeant received a report that an envoy from Fujian arrived in Huiji County, sent back the head of Ding Gong and the head of the Qin army, and attached a letter from Wuzhu.

In this epistle. Wu Zhu first showed off his exploits in defeating Ding Gongqin's army, and at the same time regarded himself as the king of Yue, and included Mei Juan, Wu Rui, Xiang Zhuang, Zhao Tuo and other southern shili into his name, claiming to have 100,000 generals. And put on a posture of being on an equal footing with Li Yuan, and said arrogantly in the letter: "King Wu lives in the north of the great river, and all occupy the south of the great river." Looking at each other across the river, the world is peaceful. ”

Jiang Yu read the letter and was furious.

Wuzhu only won a small victory, but he was so rampant, with his little strength, he still wanted to divide the territory across the river, and he was really not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue.

Mo said that Li Yuan did not agree, like Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui, who were independent princes and kings for a long time, who was not more qualified than him Wuzhu.

After a period of anger, Jiang Yu's mind calmed down a little, and once again picked up the letter, which was made of unknown beast skins and bright red human blood, and carefully read it again from beginning to end, and then, he sat down very calmly, and began to write it in silk neatly.

Jiang Yu wanted to report to Li Yuan about the military situation in Jiangdong, if he changed to other generals to sit in Jiangdong, after reading Wuzhu's challenging letter, he was afraid that he would immediately dispatch troops and lead the army to attack Fujian, but Jiang Yu was not, he had a serious personality and found an abnormal situation between the lines of Wuzhu's words.

With the strength of Wu Zhu, it is not difficult to annihilate the 3,000 men of Ding Gong, but if he independently faces the possible retaliation of the Qin army, he will definitely not be able to resist for long with his Liliang in Minyue. Therefore, in the letter, Wu Zhu drew the banner of Tiger Pila, and drew the southern princes such as Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, and Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, into this big gamble.

If the generals of the Qin army launched the battle of crossing the river without distinguishing between 3721, the first to bear the brunt would not be him Wuzhu, but Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, and then Wuling Hou Meijuan.

In this way, Wuzhu is hidden behind him, with the closed and favorable terrain of Fujian, he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and when the two sides are exhausted, he will come out to clean up the old mountains and rivers, at that time, all the factions in the south have been crippled, and only he Wuzhu has the greatest strength.

――。

The anti-Qin Liliang in the south accelerated integration.

This brought Li Yuan, who received Jiang Yu's letter, back to his senses from the factional struggle to pacify the imperial court, and internal affairs were the foundation of stability, and militarily defeating the rebellion was the premise of the Qin state.

Compared with the heavily armed northern border, Qin's current Liliang in the south is weak, except for Jiangdong's Jiang Yu 1, which has about 20,000 people, and the rest is only about 6,000 people left in Jingnan's Feng Xuan 1, which is not enough to make the Baiyue people bow down, nor can it make Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who wavered in independence and subordination, make a decision.

Great Qin's military center of gravity.

The time has come when we have to move south.

And in order not to repeat the situation when hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were dragged to death in the jungle and mountains by the Baiyue people, in addition to being oppressed by military strength, the Qin army must also have a clear understanding of the various shili in the south.

Who is the opponent who must be hit?

Who is the object of wooing? And who could keep it neutral for the time being, so that the southern Qin army could avoid the dilemma of encountering too many opponents? At the same time, who can be the main general of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and which generals can play a role in the southern expeditionary war, these urgent military information needs to be summarized from all directions.

In the palace of King Shenwu.

One order after another is being issued, and the battle for the vast area south of the river is about to begin. (To be continued......)
