Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

Although Zhao Tuo called himself the King of Martial Arts, his military vision was not as strong as he imagined, because the performance of the Qin army in the first stage was not as eye-catching as he imagined, Zhao Tuo mistakenly thought that the army under Li Yuan was at most similar to Tu Sui's Southern Expeditionary Army.

Under the misdirection of this information, Zhao Tuo then made a series of wrong decisions, such as uniting Vietnam to resist Qin, killing the mission, establishing himself as a martial king, and sending troops to aid Vietnam, so when the Qin army suddenly crossed the Yelang Kingdom and appeared near Guilin County, Zhao Tuo found that he could not send reinforcements for a while.

At that time, the various Qin troops that went south successively claimed to have 500,000, but in fact there were not so many, and when Zhao Tuo broke off the road and stood on his own, the Qin army soldiers stranded in Lingnan were about 200,000.

Where are all these generals?

According to the Jihua of the Sanyue joint anti-Qin army, when the Meiyue people launched an attack in Changsha County, the South Vietnamese army stationed 50,000 troops in Nanyi City in accordance with the provisions of the contract, on the one hand, to prevent the Qin army from attacking in the middle, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent Wuzhu, an ally with bad intentions.

In addition, due to Wang Changgong's rebellion, Zhao Tuo suddenly felt unstable in the army, so he directly withdrew to the local government in the name of insufficient military spending. Coupled with the scattered garrisons in other places, Zhao Tuo has the ability to fight, that is, nearly 10,000 people guarding Panyu, and with this alone, Zhao Tuo really has no confidence to repel the Qin army.

Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, waited for reinforcements to no avail, and decided to surrender to Qin without help.

For this powerless prince, it is better to fight with the Qin army. It is better to vote for Qin to save his life, but fortunately, he recognized the opportunity early and maintained a good relationship with the Qin State Mission.

Zhao Guang fell. The fall of Yangshan Pass at the junction of Guilin and the South China Sea also fell into the hands of the Qin army, marking that the Qin expeditionary force had stepped into the three counties of Lingnan of Zhao Tuo, and then, the Qin army only needed to go down the Xijiang River all the way down to reach Zhao Tuo's capital Panyu.

The royal city of Nanyue.

Groups of soldiers were nervously guarding the towers and the docks of the waterways, and the ships were strictly checked. However, all ships that were brought to or from Yelang Country and Guilin County were taken to a special place of observation and interrogated by personnel in charge of spy detection.

The Qin army is coming.

The country of South Vietnam is full of rumors.

Heard the news that Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, had surrendered without a fight. Zhao Tuo was shocked, he never expected that Li Yuan would have such courage to send a large army through the lofty mountains and mountains of Guizhou and go to Lingnan. And he didn't expect his brother to suddenly abandon him.

Lv Jia, Lv Tai. There is also Dou Guangde, the general who is responsible for guarding Panyu City. The three of Zhao Tuo's cronies were summoned to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

"King Wu, the Qin people are attacking from afar, the momentum is violent, our troops are mostly stuck in Wuling, we must be recalled immediately, otherwise, the end will not be sure whether Panyu City can be defended." Dou Guangde said worriedly. Same as Wang Changgong. Dou Guangde is also a veteran of a hundred battles, but. Unlike Wang Changgong, he swore allegiance to Zhao Tuo early.

Zhao Tuo had a gloomy face, nodded, and said: "Lu Xiang, this military situation is urgent, this king has decided to gather all the troops to personally recruit to meet the Qin army, only by eliminating this army, will the situation in my Lingnan be stabilized." Therefore, Wuling, please go there in person and explain our difficulties to the Meiyue people. ”

After Mei Juan launched an attack on Lin Shenhe, Zhao Tuo sent a heavy army from the direction of Longchuan to Nanqi City to assist Mei Juan in blocking the attack of the Qin army Peng Yue.

"King Wu, in the direction of Nanqi, if we withdraw, in case the Qin army breaks through Wuling, the connection between Meiyue and Minyue will be broken, and our north will also directly face the threat of the Qin people." Lu Jia said with some hesitation.

Without waiting for Lu Jia to finish speaking, Lu Tai, who had been silent, suddenly sneered and said loudly: "Mei Juan has been fighting Changsha soldiers for nearly a month, but he has only fought one and lost both, who is to blame, my South Vietnamese army has guarded Wuling for him for so many days, and he is also worthy of him, as for whether the Qin army on the north road will come south again, we don't have to worry too much, there is a danger in Longchuan, even if the Qin army comes, it will not be able to penetrate into the hinterland of my South China Sea, not to mention, the king of Minyue will not sit back and watch the Qin people ride on his neck——! ”

When Lu Tai said this, Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Captain Lu is worthy of being a prince and noble, and his knowledge is extraordinary, Mei Juan, this unsuccessful guy, let him fend for himself." This time, the king decided to go to the expedition in person, and Captain Lu could go with him. ”

"The last will obey." Lu Tai said with great joy.

From being Lu Jia's coachman to now entering Zhao Tuo's eyes, it took Lu Tai less than half a year, and the speed of his ascension is unique in the history of Nanyue.

Seeing the back of Lu Tai following Zhao Tuo, Xiangguo Lu Jia was full of bitterness, it was not easy to send Mei Yue to this mission, Mei Yue people are famous for their ferocity, and this time it was Nanyue who broke the contract, if Mei Juan became angry, he Lu Jia could save this life or not.

However, what made Lu Jia feel remorse and bitterness was not only the matter of the mission, but also because he had mistaken Lu Tai.

I thought it was a junior with the same surname, but I looked pitiful and took care of it, but I didn't expect that Lu Tai actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge this time, pushing him Lu Jia into the fire pit.

"Lu Xiang, let's go, you and I are old, heroes and heroes are all descendants, Lu Tai, this kid, is favored by King Wu." Dou Guangde sighed beside him and comforted.

Zhao Tuo transferred back the main force of the South Vietnamese Army of 50,000 from Wuling, and then led his troops to personally conquer.

The two armies of Qin and South Vietnam met in Guilin County, and the South Vietnamese army had the advantage in the comparison of the strength of the two sides, but at this time, the momentum of the Qin army had been completely up, under the influence and instigation of Wang Shang, Yelang Wang Zuo Luo Ze sent out the warriors of the ten tribes, and formed a Yelang army of more than 20,000 people, and attacked the South Yue country from the area of Xiang County.

The two sides clashed several times, evenly matched, Zhao Tuo saw that he could not defeat the Qin army in a short time, so he retreated to Nanhai County, and stuck to the four main cities of Boluo, Longchuan, Jieyang, and Panyu, and the rest of the places were all abandoned, so that although the South Vietnamese army lost a lot of territory, its main force was still there, and more importantly, after shrinking the force, Zhao Tuo could defend at any time to attack, cutting off the Qin army's longer and longer back road.

After seeing this layer of danger, Wang Shang also fought steadily, for a remote place like Xiangjun, he handed it over to the Fang State coalition army of Yelang State to occupy, while the Qin army continued to advance eastward along the Xijiang River, all the way to Zhao Tuo's old nest Panyu.

Seeing that the Qin army was not fooled, Zhao Tuo was so angry that he had to lead his army to enter Luofu Mountain in the Boluo area again, in order to take advantage of the continuous mountains here to block the Qin army's eastward advance.

——。

At the same time that Wang Shang's expeditionary army broke through to Lingnan, Peng Yue's army in the middle of the road was also beating drums and marching south, once again launching an offensive against Nanyi City.

This time, Peng Yue was full of confidence and directly pushed the front of the Chinese army camp to the capital.

The capital is the red capital of Ningdu County in later generations, which is less than 60 miles away from Nanqi, Peng Yue's middle route army has nearly 40,000 troops, plus more than 10,000 heavy soldiers left behind by Yuzhang, the middle road Qin army can be described as strong and strong, and the generals of each army are holding the idea of shame before the snow, and support and cooperate with each other step by step to approach Wuling.

Before the South Vietnamese army entered Nanqi, Mei Juan transferred a large number of troops from Nanqi because of the Lingling War, making the number of troops in this key pass less than 1,000, and after Zhao Tuo ordered the retreat from Wuling, Nanqi became an empty city. Because of this, Peng Yue's army encountered little resistance as it advanced southward.

October 2nd.

The vanguard of the Qin army in the middle of the road fought without bloodshed, captured Nanqi in one fell swoop, and opened the door to the hinterland of Wuling. Hearing the news that the South Vietnamese Army had retreated without a fight and that the rear of Wuling was not secured, Mei Juan, who was fighting with Feng Xuanjun in the Pangyi area, was almost fainted.

After the loss of Nanyi City, the territory of the Meiyue people was left in the Meiling area, and on the east, west and north of the Meiyue people, now there are Qin troops attacking, and their only way to survive is to flee to Nanhai County, and in that case, the life and death of the Meiyue people will be controlled by Zhao Tuo, which Mei Juan does not want to see.
