Count and be calculated.

This is the norm of intrigue between different shili.

Zhao Tuo thought that by hiding behind the scenes and manipulating Mei Juan and Wuzhu, he would be able to sit back and relax, but he didn't want to be punched by Li Yuan, so that he almost fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

And in order to keep his one-third of an acre of land, Zhao Tuo had to give up Mei Juan, the little brother who was in front of him, as for Wuzhu, because this guy hid in the mountainous area of eastern Fujian and couldn't come out, Zhao Tuo couldn't help him for a while.

Among the three koshi.

The strongest is undoubtedly Zhao Tuo, and the weakest is Mei Juan.

As for Wuzhu, it is far away in the Minyue area in the southeast, because of the Wuyi Mountain, Xianxia Mountain is stacked with forests, it is not easy to pass, relatively speaking, it is in a stable state. Of course, if this kind of stability is understood in reverse, once Wuzhu's Stacked Mountains defense line is breached, then he can only go out to sea by boat and seek his own island to live. When the time comes, perhaps, the Qin army will still need to cross the sea to hunt down and kill the remnants of the Yue Kingdom.

Above the five ridges, the black flag of the Qin army fluttered in the south wind.

After a series of skirmishes, Peng Yue's army finally occupied Nanhao. With the momentum of victory, the vanguard of the Qin army led the army to continue to march south, trying to take the eastern military town of Nanyue in one fell swoop, Longchuan, however, Longchuan is obviously not so easy to take, located on the bank of Wu Shui, this stone city is towering, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the general of the South Vietnamese army guarding here Dou Guangde is an old and serious person, after a tentative attack, he retreated to the place that Nan Yu has firmly occupied.

After occupying Nanyi, the Qin army established a new supply site here, Peng Yuejun and Feng Xuanjun also joined forces and began to sweep Wuling, the two Qin armies swept the cave with thunder, and beat the Meiyue people to misery, and the villages left by the ancestors were burned down and their homes were looted. Mei Yue people looked at the sky-rushing firelight, and wept bitterly one by one.

But who is to blame for all this?

If it weren't for their provocation of the Qin State, if it weren't for Mei Juan's great ambitions, maybe they would have been able to live a primitive and self-sufficient life like the rest of the Fan people.

Mei Juan's people rebelled and left.

After the departure of one tribe after another, there were less than 1,000 troops left under his direct command, and all of these 1,000 generals were demoralized and had no fighting spirit. It's not the same at all. Hiding in the Lotus Mountain in the depths of Wuling, the rest of Mei Juan was panicked like frightened birds.

First, they witnessed the Xiou people being killed by the Qin army, and now after the loss of the Wuling nest, the Meiyue people are also facing the dilemma of being ruined.

"This winter is coming, and the dam has been burned by the Qin people, so we don't know where to throw it?" A Meiyue soldier with strips of cloth wrapped around his body snorted.

The winter in the south is actually not better than the days in the north, the kind of cold to the bone, for a wounded person. It's a deadly threat.

"Isn't Mei Hou already in contact with Lu Xiang of Nanyue Kingdom? We're going to Nanhai County? ”

"Zhao Tuo, that unscrupulous, immoral and discredited southern thief, can you listen to his words? It was said that it was to help us defend the southern city, when the Qin people came. Where the South Vietnamese are, as soon as we arrive in the South China Sea, we will be eaten by him. ”

"If Nanhai County can't go, isn't there still King Wuzhu of Minyue who promised to take us in? If you escaped there. There are thousands of miles of mountains blocking it, and the Qin people will not be able to go for a while. Another Meiyue soldier fantasized.

Listening to the gossip of his subordinates, Mei Juan, as the leader, was upset for a while. I don't know when. One by one, things that did not go well came to the heads of the Meiyue people one after another, and the Meiyue tribe, which was once the most brave and warlike in the Baiyue tribe, is now at the end of the road.

"Meihou, we can't hide anymore, if we continue like this, the Meiyue tribe will be finished." For a long time, next to Mei Juan, a white-haired Meiyue tribe elder stood up tremblingly and slightly, and admonished.

"What should I do with Elder Mei's opinion?" Mei Juan said with a calm face.

"The old man thinks that now that the new Qin is powerful, we might as well bow our heads to the Qin army and admit defeat, as long as we can endure it for a while, he may not have a chance to make a comeback." The elder surnamed Mei spoke indignantly, and his tone was heavy. As an old man who has experienced the alternation of Chu and Qin, he can be said to be accustomed to the changes of this era, if admitting defeat and bowing his head can allow the Meiyue people to survive, it is really nothing.

"Do you think so, too?" Mei Juan was silent for a while, staring at her bloodshot eyes and asked.

"We, we ——!" The people who were stared at by Mei Juan couldn't answer, and the successive defeats and the death of their companions gradually sobered up these ordinary soldiers who were carried away by the blood, and in their hearts, they agreed with the words of the elder surnamed Mei just now, but under Mei Juan's prestige, they really didn't have the courage to say what was in their hearts.

"Okay, if you don't say it, I also understand, if you want to vote for the Qin State, follow Elder Mei, and if you still trust me Mei Juan, then follow me, from now on, whoever follows me, no matter how big the ends of the world, no matter how difficult it is, I Mei Juan will definitely not be disappointed."

Mei Juan's tone was full of helplessness and self-blame, and at the same time, there was also a deep hope, under the successive defeats, Mei Juan's reputation had fallen to the bottom, in other words, he could no longer rely on the power of the leader to suppress dissenting opinions, but he still hoped that these more than 1,000 soldiers could still stand on his side, still believe in him, and fight with him.

However, Mei Juan was disappointed again. One soldier after another stood up silently, walked past him, and came behind the elder surnamed Mei who fell down as soon as the wind blew, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Mei Juan's sharp eyes.

A thousand Mei Yue soldiers.

Among them, there were nearly 700 people who chose to stay with the elder surnamed Mei, and Mei Juan embarked on the difficult journey to the east with more than 300 cronies and generals who still trusted him.

Due to Zhao Tuo's betrayal, Mei Juan no longer believed in the Nanyue, this time he withdrew from Wuling, he decided to go south first, and then turn to the east, although Wuzhu, the king of Minyue, is also not a good character, but Mei Juan feels that this place in Minyue is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you don't make strategic mistakes, there is still hope for holding this Zuihou anti-Qin territory.

On the contrary, Mei Juan basically did not have much hope that Zhao Tuo could block the Qin army, Zhao Tuo could block the Qin army along the way, but he could not block the attack of the Qin army on the third route, and more importantly, as the battle situation became clearer, those soldiers of the Qin army who had originally conquered the south in Zhao Tuo's army would hesitate and surrender to Qin——。

——。

Mid-October.

Mei Yue's representative of the elder surnamed Mei, in Nanyi City, handed over to Peng Yue the scepter of surrender to the Qin State, his attitude was very sincere, put down his arms, give up resistance, this is all due righteousness, the request side only mentioned one point, that is, I hope that the Qin army can let Mei Yue people go, so that their tribe can continue.

For this, Peng Yue didn't pay much attention to this, and directly ordered Luan Bu to escort the rest of the Meiyue people to the rear of Yuzhang to take care of them, as for how many of these captives can survive along the way, it can only depend on their own creation. When Zuihou is cornered and surrenders, this is still thinking about bargaining, obviously Mei Yue people are too naïve.

Peng Yue did not immediately order the execution of these Meiyue people, mainly because of the need for stability in Wuling, once the news of the Meiyue captives and killing came out, those hesitant Yue people would strengthen their confidence in resisting, and this was obviously a situation that the Qin army was trying to avoid at present.

After dealing with the Meiyue people, Peng Yue continued to strengthen the sweep of the Baiyue tribes in the Wuling area on the one hand, and on the other hand, actively cooperated with Feng Xuan's Western Route Army to cross the Wuling Mountains into the hinterland of Nanhai County, and then cooperated with Wang Shang's expeditionary force to launch a decisive offensive against the South Vietnamese Army.

Under the dominance of superior forces. The Qin army advanced in several directions, even if Zhao Tuo's South Vietnamese army could block the Qin army of the second route in Sihui and Longchuan, it would not be able to block the Peng Yue army and Feng Xuan's army pouring down from Wuling.

After more than two months of fierce fighting, the Qin army finally showed its killer move, and in front of the vanguard of the Peng Yue army, there was a Pingchuan, only a few incoherent undulating mountains and undulating Lingnan Plain. (To be continued......)
