Chapter 353: Hu Ye, the Dead Qin
"The court is kind to Tuo, and Tuo does not dare to betray it, and please make it clear to your lordship." Zhao Tuo swallowed.
"Stupid...... Just! ”
Ren Huan took a breath, paused slightly, and then spit out a few words with great difficulty: "After I go, you should make a decision with the emperor and cut off the traffic in Lingnan." ”
"If you don't obey your orders, you can be punished...... Ren Huan couldn't speak anymore, struggled to sit up, trembled and took out a bamboo slip from the collapse, and handed it to Zhao Tuo.
"Hu Ye, the Dead Qin, ......" Ren Huan stared at Zhao Tuo with both eyes, spit out a pool of black blood, and then died......
Zhao Tuo followed Ren Huan's wishes, decisively severed relations with the Qin Dynasty, used heavy troops to block Hengpu, Yangshan, Huangxi and other north-south communication passes, removed the former Qin Dynasty officials who refused to obey orders, and strengthened the defense of the border, so as not to spread the flames of war to the two regions.
Subsequently, Zhao Tuo led his army to the west, captured the two counties of Xiang County and Guilin, and occupied the three counties of Lingnan in 203 BC, established the Nanyue Kingdom, and proclaimed himself the King of Nanyue.
Zhao Tuo took the original Panyu City (now Guangzhou) as the national capital, and further expanded the scope of the "Ren Huan City" and built it as Zhao Tuo City with a circumference of ten miles (now the area of Zhongshan 4th and 5th Road in Guangzhou, Guangdong).
After Zhao Tuo became the emperor, he issued an edict to promote advanced farming technology, advocate trade with the Central Plains, activate the economy, and develop production; Promote the policy of ethnic harmony, coordinate the relations between various ethnic groups within the Vietnamese people, and rest with the people. Therefore, Zhao Tuo was deeply supported by the Han and Vietnamese people, and laid the cornerstone for the 95-year-old Nanyue State.
On the Central Plains, in the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought for the throne for 4 years, and finally Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide by the Wujiang River. This warlord war for the supreme ruling power was raging and destructive, causing social order to be turbulent, the economy to suffer a serious recession, and the common people to be miserable.
After Han Gaozu first set the world, in order to appease the warlords who had followed him, he divided many princes and kings, and these people all supported their own troops and tried in vain to restore the situation in the Warring States Period, which Liu Bang was very unwilling to see. Without the military power of the king with a different surname, Liu Bang was very unhappy, and now the surname Liu is in the world, whoever is disobedient and dares to act rashly will shoot on whom, he has talked to Chen Ping many times in private about this old and difficult problem.
Zhao Tuo said that the emperor was a year earlier than Han Gaozu, and during the peasant war at the end of Qin, Zhao Tuo did not go north to rescue Qin II, and attacked the peasant army from behind, Liu Bang knew it.
Zhao Tuo had no intention of unifying the Central Plains and making enemies of the peasant army, at best, he wanted to sit big and divide one side. Moreover, in the past few years of fierce battle with Xiang Yu, Zhao Tuo also stood still, waited and watched, did not fall to Xiang Yu's side, and remained neutral, Liu Bang was grateful. It seems that Zhao Tuo is still very knowledgeable, and he doesn't want to completely tear his face with him, after all, Zhao Tuo's hundreds of thousands of troops are already trapped in Baiyue and can't get out.
The land of Baiyue was obtained by the Qin Emperor and hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers at a heavy price, and the Liu family naturally inherited the political territory of Great Qin when they got the world.
Now the most ferocious enemy of the Han Dynasty should be the Hun cavalry led by Mao Dun, since Meng Tian died, Mao Dun became arrogant, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Central Plains melee in recent years to develop and grow, constantly invade the south, often harass the northern border of the Han Dynasty, and plunder people and animals, especially I just became the emperor and wanted to give me some color to see.
Thinking of these thorny problems, Han Gaozu had trouble sleeping and eating, and often woke up in the middle of the night. The Lingnan region is economically backward and must rely on the Central Plains to import advanced technology and tools. Zhao Tuo has recently been proclaimed emperor, and the Yue people have not yet obeyed, so they don't dare to act rashly.
"The Siege of Baishan Mountain" Liu Bang successfully escaped from danger by relying on Chen Ping's curve to save the country, and Han Gaozu returned to Chang'an safe and sound.
"Han **, you traitor, even if I am blind, I came to save you, but you fell into the well and almost killed me in Baishan Mountain." Liu Bang has already seen this five big and three thick Han ** clearly, "A soft bone, surrendered to the Huns, followed me for so many years, and never did anything that made me worry, not even a pig, when Xiang Yu caught him in the pigsty, he fled back, so you shouldn't trust him anymore, hey......"
Han **, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zang Di, Zhang Er, Lu Xuan, these princes and kings seem to be unreliable, so they have to be solved. Especially the eponymous Han ** and Qi King Han Xin, when they saw the word "letter", they became angry, what to believe, but not to believe.
Damn! I have to cut off their heads one by one, and it's just a matter of minutes to make excuses.
"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking." The princes and kings who surrendered from Xiang Yu were the strongest, and the trick of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys was very effective. Han Xin was a military genius, and he was the first to kill him, Liu Bang and Chen Ping discussed with a fake You Yun Mengze, captured Han Xin, and demoted him to the Marquis of Huaiyin. Soon Han Shin was tricked into the palace and killed.
Subsequently, Peng Yue and Yingbu were also eliminated on trumped-up charges of "rebellion". At this time, although Zhao Tuo was in Lingnan, he also smelled the bloody smell of Liu Bang raising a butcher's knife to suppress the king with a different surname. The former allies who fought for Liu Bang were killed one by one, and they could not get a good death, and the Han Dynasty was filled with an atmosphere of terror.
Zhao Tuo's strategy was still to die and stick to Lingnan, and if he took the opportunity to raise troops north, his iron-blooded army would be more than enough to deal with the exhausted Han army.
Liu Bang slaughtered the king with a different surname again and again, Zhao Tuo was calm and did not make any movement, it seems that this guy is not hidden!
"I might as well stabilize him first, how about sealing him the martial king of Nanyue? Give him some sugar-coated shells, send some money and beauties, and pour some ecstasy soup, Zhao Tuo has no intention of unifying China, at best, he is a character who is at ease with what he encounters, and he will definitely not get along with my Han Dynasty. "Don't underestimate Liu Bang, although he was born a hooligan and didn't read much, he is a master in the political "heart attacking" evaluation, which is definitely better than Xiang Yu Thirty Miles.
In 196 BC, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, sent an envoy to Nanyue to persuade Zhao Tuo to accept the canonization of the Han Dynasty. So Liu Bang chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and Lu Jia's envoy held the talisman, brought the ribbon, beauties, horses, etc., escorted by the army, and set off from Chang'an.
There are still more than ten miles to Yuechengling, Zhao Tuo's subordinates sent messengers to inform them that the Han army was not allowed to enter, Han Gaozu had already expected this move, and the envoy did not say anything, since it was to talk about peace, it was not too much for King Wu to make a small request. So the Han army stopped its advance and watched the envoys go away. The messenger led the way, and the envoy followed, nervously entering the shady Yuecheng Ridge.
Lu Jia bumped for most of the day to reach the 100,000 Qin Tian (the old name of the Qin Dynasty), but he saw that this place was really a miraculous workmanship, with the air of an emperor, the terrain was flat, and there was a military castle with a diameter of about 500 meters, and a moat several meters deep and about 6 meters wide protected the castle.
The soldiers on the city wall are in good spirits, and the soldiers outside the city are working in the fields in an orderly manner, and the wind of Sanqin can survive here. "No wonder Zhao Tuo is so good, the emperor doesn't dare to touch him, he has to give him three points, what the people want!" Lu Jia thought as he walked.
Out of the city to greet Tu Rong and Zhu Dacheng, Lu Jia didn't know him, he had only heard of Tu Sui's name. Tu Zhu did not directly set up a banquet to entertain the envoys, but he took them to the school field outside the city. 100,000 South Vietnamese soldiers stood neatly on the school grounds, their armor shining golden under the sun, stabbing Lu Jia so much that he couldn't open his eyes. Seeing the arrival of the messenger, they were not surprised at all, and sang "Song of the Great Wind" together-
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!
The voice resounded in the sky, Lu Jia was so happy when he saw this majestic and mighty scene, Zhao Tuo, the old boy, still played this set for me. "Lord Lu, I won't leave tonight, Tu specially picked up the wind and washed the dust for you." Tu Yu said, without a hint of flattery.
"Good!" Lu Jia was happy in his heart, he was actually tired, and he wished Tu Zhu said this. That night, Tu Zhu and other tents set up a banquet, singing and dancing, staggered, elk fragrant, Lu Jia tasted Lingnan food for the first time, and the banquet lasted until the time of the child.
Lu Jia and his entourage, escorted by Zhu Dacheng, arrived in Panyu in a few days. Lu Jia relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to reason with Zhao Tuo and stated the powerful relationship between Guishun and Shun. Zhao Tuo gladly accepted the seal given by Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and declared himself a vassal to the Western Han Dynasty. As a result, the two countries sent envoys to each other and exchanged trade, and the relationship between the two countries was relatively good.
After Lu Jia returned to Chang'an from Panyu, he reported to Liu Bang the details of what he had seen and heard about 100,000 Qin Tian overnight, and asked him to beware of Zhao Tuo.
Therefore, Han Gaozu was very uneasy about Zhao Tuo, and soon sent troops to build two castles on the border with Nanyue, the ancient city of Ganxian and the ancient city of Lingdu, to defend against Zhao Tuo's army; Two more generals were sent to Changsan to monitor the movements of South Vietnam.
In 195 BC, the "butcher" Liu Bang died soon after a recurrence of an arrow wound left by the suppression of Yingbu. The enthroned Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying, was still young, and the power of the court was held by Lu Hou Lu Pheasant. When Empress Lu was chased and killed by Xiang Yu in Liu Bang, Liu Bang ran faster in order to escape, but his wife and children pushed off the car and left it alone, and the shadow in Empress Lu's heart lingered. Now that Liu Laosan, a bad old man, is dead, she can call for wind and rain, and kill people who don't like it.
What made her most uneasy was Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, who was born as a peasant, who disdained him for his stupid hat of bowing down to his subordinates. The submission of this Nanyue king to the Han Dynasty was only a superficial practice, and he had always been wary of the Western Han Dynasty. According to the system, the princes and kings had to go to Chang'an regularly to meet the Son of Heaven, but Zhao Tuo always said that he was sick and could not enter the court.
Therefore, Empress Lu exerted pressure on Zhao Tuo from the personality point of view, regarded all ethnic groups in South Vietnam as backward ethnic groups, called them "barbarians", and said, "Do not give barbarians to foreign Yuejin, iron fields, horses, cattle and sheep, that is, give them to Mu, and do not give them to Mu." "It is absurd to order the cessation of all trade between the Han Dynasty and South Vietnam, to deal an economic blow to the South Vietnamese State, and to consume Zhao Tuo, an old boy, alive.
