Chapter 2066 The sword points to Huangxi Pass
However, when the Qin army captured Panyu, the most nervous was Haifeng, who was guarding Huangxi Pass. He worked hard and fought bloodily for a long time to seize this pass from the hands of Meng Qingshan and the people of Xiou, and paid a great price to capture the pass. But if the Qin army sent troops from Panyu, his efforts would be in vain. The combat effectiveness of the Qin army is not comparable to those barbarians of Xiou and Meng Qingshan.
But Chen Sheng did not immediately attack Huangxi Pass. He was ready to give SITC a chance. Haifeng and Xiong Qi are similar, both are the leaders of the Yue tribe in South Vietnam. More than ten years ago, the tribe was subjugated by Meng Heilong, so they were loyal to Meng Heilong. But Chen Sheng believed that with the nature of these Yue tribes, it was absolutely impossible for Haifeng to have absolute loyalty to Meng Heilong.
So Chen Sheng decided to give SITC a chance to surrender. Therefore, the army just approached Huangxi Pass, created some pressure on Haifeng, and then sent envoys to persuade him to surrender. The messenger is none other than Xiong Qi, who has already surrendered to Chen Sheng.
After a winter of campaigning, Xiong Qi proved his loyalty to Chen Sheng with his achievements. He led the clan soldiers to defeat the elite of Meng Heilong's tribe several times, and helped Meng Qingshan defend Longchuan City. For Xiong Qi's performance, Chen Sheng was not stingy with rewards, and gave some of the land around Xiong Qi's clan to Xiong Qi's tribe. Of course, Chen Sheng's generous rewards are also conditional, and when the imperial court implements the township system in Lingnan in the future, Xiong Qi's tribe must set an example and support the resolution of the imperial court.
……
Dealing with the repetition of the Qin people, whether it was Meng Qingshan or Meng Heilong, they all felt a deep headache.
Meng Qingshan naturally didn't say anything, Panyu was his foundation, but it was taken away by the Qin army in a blink of an eye, before the Qin army took Panyu, it was still his "ally", such a contrast made Meng Qingshan a little difficult to accept. After suppressing his anger, Meng Qingshan sent an envoy to ask Chen Sheng why he sent an army to attack his territory, and the answer Chen Sheng gave back made Meng Qingshan almost vomit three liters of blood.
Chen Sheng asked the envoy to convey to Meng Qingshan the meaning was probably like this: Anyway, Haifeng's army has already captured Huangxi Pass, and the next target must be Panyu. Since you can't divide your troops to defend Panyu City, then our Qin army has to reluctantly help you defend it, if Haifeng is bold and dares to attack Panyu, our Qin army will definitely let him have no return. Of course, this is voluntary labor, and you don't need to pay extra for food, grass, and military salaries......
Meng Qingshan was furious, but he really couldn't argue with the Qin army. However, Qin Jun's new actions made him even more terrifying. The Southern Yong Army stationed in Xincheng, for some reason, was divided into three groups and slowly withdrew from Xincheng, one part of which advanced towards Panyu, and the other part went directly towards Huangxi Pass.
To this day, Meng Qingshan's dependence on the Qin army is extremely strong, and he knows very well that if it were not for the Qin army and Xi'ou's army of half a meter, he would not be able to support it two months ago.
There is only one possibility for the Qin army to capture Panyu and evacuate the new city. That's to tear his face with him and attack him!
Meng Qingshan was angry, but there was nothing he could do. However, he didn't know that his son, Meng Heilong, was now even more anxious than him. When Chen Sheng attacked Panyu, the main force of the Qin army also began to attack Meng Heilong's subordinates, especially Yangshan Pass, the commander Ren Huan personally led the elite of the Qin army to knock on the pass, which was menacing, according to the information brought back by the messenger, Yangshan Pass may not last for five days!
Yangshan Pass was originally a natural danger, and it was difficult to capture it after 100,000 Qin troops attacked it for half a year. But the actual situation now is very different from before, because of the escalation of the civil war, Meng Heilong had to withdraw the main force from Yangshan Pass to join the war, and military supplies were also transferred back in large quantities to arm the soldiers of the civil war. The entire Yangshan Pass is almost an empty shell. was able to withstand the Qin army's five-day onslaught, and it was already because of the convenience of the terrain.
Compared with Yangshan Pass, Hengpu Pass's blow to Meng Heilong was more severe. Hengpu Pass had been ceded to the Qin army before. The Qin army entrenched at the pass swept away the troops left by Meng Heilong nearby like a whirlwind and clouds, and could pounce on Meng Heilong's main force at any time.
Facing the menacing Qin army, Meng Heilong's first reaction was to give in. He sent an envoy at night, saying that he had surrendered to the Qin State, why did he send a large army to attack. Facing the innocent look on the face of the South Vietnamese envoy, Ren Huan snorted coldly and said: "My Great Qin only has His Majesty the Emperor, and there is no other king!" This general has no other intentions, just for my emperor to take off the crown on the head of King Yue! ”
Faced with Ren's arrogant answer, Meng Heilong's face also darkened. Qin Jun's intention was clearly to put him to death! Meng Heilong recalled his compromises and actions to Qin Jun in the past six months, and couldn't help shedding tears of remorse. I know that I have tasted the consequences of seeking skin with the tiger. After there is no capital to resist, even if you are a minister, people may not be willing to ask for it!
Meng Heilong is worthy of a generation of heroes, and after he came to his senses, he made an incredible resolution: negotiate peace with Meng Qingshan!
When Xi'ou intervened in the mediation before, asking their father and son to negotiate peace, Meng Heilong expressed disdain for this. At that time, he was taking advantage of the war, and the Qin army also said that he would not intervene, so Meng Heilong did not care about Xi'ou's intervention. With the assassination of Prince Xi'ou, Meng Heilong even more believed that Xi'ou's so-called mediation was just an opportunity to declare war on him.
This time, Meng Heilong really lowered his arrogant head and was ready to make peace with Meng Qingshan. Meng Qingshan is still his son, Lingnan falls into the hands of his son, and he is not worthy of his ancestors, but if it is captured by the Qin army......
After Meng Heilong made this decision, Chen Sheng received a message from Tian Peng. Seeing that Meng Heilong actually had the courage to end the war with Meng Qingshan, Chen Sheng couldn't help but admire Meng Heilong a little more. He could understand that Meng Heilong's approach was to preserve the last bit of strength in order to fight against the Qin army, which had already bared its fangs. But Chen Sheng knew that Meng Heilong had only thought of this now, and it was too late. When Hengpu Pass fell into the hands of the Qin army, Chen Sheng already knew that the history of South Vietnam's independent existence was over.
"Sabotage the peace with all your might!" Chen Sheng gave Tian Peng only one instruction. At the same time, Chen Sheng's ultimatum to Haifeng, who was guarding Huangxi Pass, also began to enter the countdown.
"My lord, why do you have to leave so much time for Haifeng, if he is not willing to surrender, and we have given him seven days to consider, in these seven days, he can't consolidate the pass and make it more difficult to conquer." He said he couldn't understand what Chen Sheng was doing.
