Chapter 425: Fleeing All the Way
The rescue scene on the five-foot road made the whereabouts of the Qin State mission clear to the world.
The merchants Jia who was shocked by Yang Yu's 800 elite soldiers were cowardly, and the unfortunate goods were thrown under the cliff in Kanto Fat Jia was "lucky" to become a party to this famous incident.
In the stark contrast between the loss of his wealth and the "sought after" of the crowd, the businessman embarked on the road back to his hometown, for him, the dream of making a fortune was temporarily shattered, and if he wanted to make a comeback, he must first accumulate basic capital.
The Great Qin Mission traveled all the way south.
The mighty soldiers of the Qin army were dressed in black clothes and black armor, holding a halberd in their hands, a sword at their waists, and several generals such as Yang Yu rode on a high-headed healthy horse produced by Hetao, like a god of war, showing the great military exploits of the northern power to the Ou people, Yelang people, and Dian people in the south.
Sweep Liuhe, four seas one.
Let's ask today's world, it is when Daqin is like the sun.
The Yelang people who have always been arrogant are sincerely convinced this time, the Qiandi where the Yelang country is located, is only separated from the Ba County of the Qin State by a river, in the past few years, the Yelang people have truly witnessed the Ba County governing Jiangzhou from a wild land, and gradually developed into the most important water wharf and important town in the upper reaches of the river, and the Yelang country as a transit station between Lingnan and the Qin State, has also indirectly benefited a lot.
Lu Jia and Yang Yujun crossed the Wuchi Road, and after receiving the hospitality of the Yelang King, they went east along the Xijiang River and came to Guilin County, where Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, on behalf of Zhao Tuo, greeted the Qin delegation from afar.
Zhao Guang is Chinese New Year's Eve and 6 years old.
It is when a man is the most powerful and powerful, although he, the king of Cangwu, is more or less stained with his brother's light, but I have to admit that Zhao Guang himself is still quite capable. In the territory of Cangwu, there are many Yue people, Ou people or unknown Yi people, and there are many contradictions between each other, and Zhao Guang can control the situation in Cangwu without causing chaos.
Three districts of South Vietnam.
Among Nanhai, Guilin and Xiang County, Nanhai County is the only one. It has four large county seats, Panyu, Sihui, Boluo and Longchuan, with a population of more than 300,000. Due to its deep penetration into the barren land of the Indochina Peninsula, Xiangjun is sparsely populated and weak, and cannot compete with the other two counties.
Guilin County was originally only in the middle, and its strength was not very strong, but a little change has made Guilin County change differently.
The penetration of the Ling Canal has benefited the people in Guilin and Cangwu a lot. As a key node connecting the river and the Pearl River system, the Lingqu not only communicates the north and the south, but more importantly, it makes the Lingnan land, which has always been closed. For the first time, it opened its arms to the Central Plains people in the north.
When the Lingqu was unblocked, Zhao Guang's life could be described as a spring breeze, and just this important waterway channel gave him endless money in his hands.
However, things change.
More than ten years have passed since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up in Daze Township, and the traffic in Lingqu has also stagnated for more than ten years, and the only thing that can bring Zhao Guang a little income is the taxes levied when the Meiyue people and Xiou people occasionally pass by with some prey and medicinal materials from the mountains.
Lingqu.
This is a canal of life and a canal of wealth.
It made Zhao Guang feel happy. I felt extremely troubled again, now, the soldiers of the Qin army have arrived in the territory of Changsha Kingdom, and it is only one step away from the Lingqu. Zhao Guang was naturally very eager that the Qin army could defeat Mei Juan, so that the Lingqu would be unblocked again, and his waist bag could be bulged again.
As for the time. Whether he, the king of Cangwu, can still be the king, Zhao Guang can see clearly, if he can also catch the line of the Qin State. Then there is great hope for continuing to be a prince in Guilin and Cangwu, and if you offend the Qin State, then even if you have Zhao Tuo behind you, I am afraid that this prince will not last long.
Lu Jia showed quite high goodwill towards Zhao Guang's attitude, and on behalf of Li Yuan, he formally invited Zhao Guang to go to Chang'an when he had free time, which was also a clever move by Lu Jia to test Zhao Tuo's attitude, that is, to inform Zhao Tuo that if he continued to be half-hearted and unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the central government, then Qin would not continue to wait for him.
June 13.
The Qin delegation arrived in Panyu.
On the day of the erection, Lu Jia couldn't take a break, so he asked Lu Jia, the minister of South Vietnam, to see Zhao Tuo, but Lu Jia politely refused Lu Jia's request to see him on the grounds that Zhao Tuo was unwell.
You must know that when he first came to Lingnan, Xin Qin was still fighting with Liu Bang, the king of Han, and Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, in the Kanto region, at that time, Zhao Tuo was very courteous to Lu Jia, the envoy of Qin from Guanzhong.
This time and that time.
Lu Jia and Yang Yu were trapped in the post house, and soon they found that even their daily actions were closely monitored, and even Prime Minister Lu Jia no longer showed up, replaced by heavily armed South Vietnamese soldiers with poor expressions outside the post house. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Yu had eight hundred Qin troops in his hands, maybe these South Vietnamese soldiers would have rushed in directly.
What worries Lu Jia even more is that among the generals of the South Yue Kingdom who led the team to monitor outside, he unexpectedly found a familiar figure, if he did not admit his mistake, Lu Tai, the old department of Liu Bang who had been missing for a long time, turned into the real power of the South Yue State after a few years.
With Lu Tai's hatred for the Qin State, if he was in the middle, Zhao Tuo's attitude could be imagined.
Fifteenth.
When the Qin envoy was trapped in the post house, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, worshiped the sky at the highest peak of Yuexiu Mountain, and respected the former Nanhai County Lieutenant Ren Huan as the king of Wen, and he received the honorific title of King Wu.
In order to send this top-secret information into the post house, almost all the people in the Lingnan Military Intelligence Department were exposed and killed, Lu Jia's face immediately changed after hearing this information, first he said that he was sick, and now he called himself the king of Wu, what Zhao Tuo's thoughts have been revealed.
The military situation is urgent.
The purpose of the Nanyue State to put the Qin State Mission under house arrest was to take them hostage, so that when Qin Yue turned against him, he could have a hole card in his hand.
And Zhao Tuo, for his own ambitions, couldn't even care about his son Zhao Zhongshi's hostage in Xianyang.
"Quick, call Qi soldiers, get out of the city!" Lu Jia hurriedly ordered Yang Yu to quickly order the soldiers and immediately escape from Panyu City. Fortunately, when Lu Jia insisted on letting Yang Yu's escort troops be stationed outside the city, Lu Jia insisted that he did not agree, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to.
These days, Yang Yu has also been aggrieved, and after listening to Lu Jia's urgent orders, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly ordered the eight hundred Qin troops under his command to kill out of the gate of the post house like a whirlwind and clouds.
As soon as the Qin army went out, they ran into the surveillance team of Lü Tai head-on, and the two sides were enemies to meet, and they were very red-eyed, fortunately, Lü Tai's status in the South Vietnamese army was not good, at best he was just a small military marquis, Yang Yu rushed violently, and scattered Lu Tai's troops at once.
The Qin army went out of the west gate of Panyu, grabbed the ferry on the Pearl River (ancient name Yushui) and rushed westward, and when Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, got the return of Lutai, the Qin army had already gone up the river along Yushui.
In a fit of rage, Zhao Tuo strictly ordered Lü Jia and Lü Tai to lead a force composed of 5,000 soldiers to pursue, and at the same time, he urgently ordered Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, to block the Qin envoy in the area of Guilin County.
――。
Lu Jia encountered danger in Panyu City, and the mission had to fight thousands of miles to break through many dangers before it was possible to return to Qin.
Along the way, Lu Jia and Yang Yu basically got little support except for the occasional Qin State who could provide some help in the local secrets, while the Nanyue State had the advantage of time and place.
Yangshan Pass.
It is located at an important pass at the junction of Nanhai County and Guilin County.
Lu Jia and Yang Yu rushed all the way to this point, and finally had to stop, and the Xiou people guarding the pass had already set up their bows and arrows after receiving Zhao Tuo's order, and only the eight hundred people in Yang Yu's hands, even if they were all out, they would not be able to break through the strong and dangerous pass.
The pursuers in the back were getting closer and closer.
There is danger ahead.
The Qin State Mission had no way out, and in this case, even Lu Jia, who had always been clever and eloquent, had a look of despair on his face.
Contrary to Lu Jia and Yang Yu in despair, Lu Tai was very proud, and Lu Jia of Xiangguo was only a civilian official and did not know about military affairs, so the real commander of the 5,000 chasing troops of Nanyue was actually Lu Tai.
Five thousand people.
This is also the largest force that Lu Tai has ever commanded in his life, even more than when he was under the Han king Liu Bang in the past, at that time, although Liu Bang's Han army had more than 100,000, Liu Bang's subordinate generals were also star-studded, and with Lu Tai's qualifications, he could only serve as a partial general of his father Lu Ze.
"Lu Jia, you traitor, I didn't expect to have today!" When he saw Lu Jia's figure from a distance, Lu Tai couldn't help but scream.
After a long and hopeless perseverance, he finally waited for the day when the clouds cleared. Now, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, has strengthened his confidence in self-reliance, and he Lu Tai is now a meritorious general who assists Zhao Tuo to claim the king.
Yangping off.
The Qin State Mission, which had been stranded for a whole day and could not move forward, fell into unprecedented despair, Lu Jia looked up at the sky in the north, and sighed: "Captain Yang, the army is dead, it is irretrievable, today, Lu Jia is going to be buried under this Yangping Pass, you quickly escape from the mountains and forests, maybe one day you can return to the Qin State, if you can zaijian to the Martial King, just say for Lu Jia: I met him in this life, Jia has no regrets." ”
Yang Yu was shocked and hurriedly said: "Doctor Lu, this Yang's duty is to protect your safety, if you escape without permission, the Martial King will definitely be angry!" ”
Lu Jia laughed miserably: "It's okay, I'll fix a book, and it will show that you were ordered by me to run away, not without permission." The enemy is approaching, so hurry up and prepare. ”
Yang Yu was still about to argue, but was stopped by Lu Jia's resolute eyes. (To be continued......)
