In the battle of Sanluo, the Qin army suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the casualties. Zhao Tuo came to the rescue in time, and only a few of Tu Sui's pro-soldiers broke through. Similarly, the tribal forces led by Yi Hu Song also suffered heavy losses, and they were temporarily unable to organize a counterattack, completely driving the Qin army out of the territory of Xiou.

Zhao Tuo, who temporarily served as the commander of the Qin army, was most worried that the king of Xiou was not dead, and his strength was still there, and he would kill him back at any time, and he did not dare to risk dispersing his troops and shrinking more than 100,000 troops to the 100,000 Qin Tian line, and the only thing he could do at present was to sit back and wait for reinforcements and grain and grass to arrive as soon as possible.

The 100,000 Qin field is a high mountain basin, high and low in the middle on all sides, with undulating hills inside, and it looks like a blooming lotus flower from a bird's eye view from above. The terrain is inclined from southeast to northwest, it is distributed in a stepped form, from north to south, it is three parts of upper, middle and lower, the streams in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the vegetation is abundant, the swamp is dense, the winter is warm and the summer is cool. The traffic arteries going south to Lingnan and north to the Central Plains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, occupying here, which can well contain the power of the Yue people.

Before Tu Sui went to Sanluo Land, he specially inspected the land of Tuntian. After watching the military parade, he suddenly said to Zhao Tuo: "This place is a treasure of feng shui, if he is in danger of encountering an accident, please bury me in Si!" ”

"Lord Guowei's martial arts are strong and ......invincible," Zhao Tuo said, holding down his sword.

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. I've been trapped in Ouyue for a few years, and I don't know how long Tu can live. Tu Sui said sadly.

"I'll be able to return to Xianyang." Zhao Tuo said.

"The battle of Qin'ou is not as simple as imagined." Tu Sui pointed to a tall sister tree, "General Zhao, after I die, you must bury me under that tree." ”

"It's too conspicuous, it's inappropriate." Zhao Tuo shook his head.

"Please." Tu Sui patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder......

Unexpectedly, Tu Sui's words became a prophecy. After Tu Sui died in battle, Zhao Tuo found his body on the battlefield and personally escorted him back to the lotus ground of 100,000 Qin Tian for burial, and buried a large number of gold and silver treasures at the same time as the body, as well as the swords and armor used by Tu Sui during his lifetime.

On the day of the burial, his son Tu Rong did not leave a single tear, and remained silent until he could not see his father's body, so he threw the bronze halberd deep into the soil, knelt on his knees, and raised his head to the sky and howled several times: "Translation call Song, if Tu Mou did not take his life with his own hands, he would not be a man!" ”

In order to prevent Zhao Tuo's tomb from being dug up by others, 36 coffins were carried out of Gutian Town at the same time, and a number of suspected graves were set up. There were no graves at each burial site, and the sergeants were covering them with a lot of turf and flattening them with a large number of horses, and only Zhao Tuo knew that one was true.

When the news of the Qin army's fiasco reached Xianyang, Emperor Qin was extremely angry: "A small Xi'ou tribe has been killing 300,000 of my army for several years, and I am guilty of it!" Then an emergency imperial military meeting was convened to discuss the matter of reconquest of Baiyue.

Soon, the conscription edict reached a county, and the Qin Emperor collected 100,000 troops from all over the country, trained for half a year, plus the original 200,000, a total of 300,000 troops, Ren Huan served as the commander, Zhao Tuo was still the deputy general, and attacked the Yue people from Wuling again.

The progress was not smooth, Ren Huanyi changed Tu Sui's previous slaughter policy, constantly divided and disintegrated the Yue people, and gradually advanced to the Xiou people's living territory.

Ren Huan gave preferential treatment to those who surrendered, and appointed the Yue people to continue to serve as officials, manage their own territory, and exempt them from conscription, military service, and taxes for three years, so as to isolate the Song Dynasty.

Losing the support of the people, the remnants of the Song Dynasty fled into the jungle, resisted stubbornly, refused to surrender, and decided to get rid of it. Ren Huan posted a notice, promising a reward of 1,000 taels for the purchase of Yi Song's head, and a reward of 300 gold for those who provided clues.

A few days passed, and no Yue people came to inform Yi Hu Song's whereabouts. Tu Zhu didn't have the patience to wait, he walked into Ren Huan's tent and took the initiative to ask for help, and strongly asked to pursue the rest of the Yihu Song.

At this time, an old man with white eyebrows came outside the tent, saying that he was willing to be a guide and take Tu Zhu to find the lair of Yihu Song.

Tu Rong looked at it, wasn't this the old man who was chased and killed by Yi Song in the mountains and forests half a year ago and was rescued by himself?

"God help me!" Tu Yu was secretly delighted.

Ren Huan selected 20,000 elite soldiers from the Chu people, let Tu Zhu lead him, and told him: "The translation of the Song Dynasty is scheming, don't fall in love with the enemy." ”

Under the guidance of the old man, Tu Rongyi marched in the mountains and mountains for three days and three nights, and finally found the traces of Yihu Song. It turned out that the Song had fought several times with the pursuing Qin army, and was seriously wounded, and the wounds were constantly bleeding, and he had to rest for a period of time every time he went to a place.

Following the bloodstains, Tu Rong kept moving forward. In the wide area in front of a cave, the blood was gone, but the grass and trees could be seen to be trampled on.

"Guys get ready for fire." Tu Lu said. He had fought with the Yue people for three or four years, and he already knew their tactics and psychology very well.

"Yes, General."

A fire was lit in front of the cave door, and the smoke followed the wind into the cave, and after a while, a violent coughing sound was heard from inside the cave. A group of Yue people rushed out in the smoke of fire, led by Yi Hu Song.

He brandished a broadsword and slashed at the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers were defenseless, and countless were slashed and hacked to death by Yihu Song and his subordinates.

"You're dying." Tu Rong, who was a hundred paces away, put on a bow and arrow, and pointed an arrow at Yi Yu Song, and the arrow passed through his chest.

Seeing that the leader was in danger, hundreds of Yue soldiers rushed out of the cave one after another, protecting their leader to the death, and continued to fight with the Qin army. Tu Yu clearly knew that if he let go of this father-killing enemy this time, he might not have a chance in the future.

I saw that with a wave of his arm, the archers immediately shot out countless feather arrows, and the Yue people fell to the ground one after another, and there were less than a hundred people left around Yi Yu Song.

"Stop!" Tu Zhu said, "Translate Song, hurry up and arrest you, this general can save you from death." ”

"Wishful thinking, my people will avenge me even if I die." Yi Hu Song smiled miserably and rushed over with his subordinates.

"Kill me—" There was another rain of arrows, and the Yue people were left with only one Yihu Song.

"Don't put down the big knife yet!" Tu Yu roared.

"Slaughter the dog thief, how many people have killed this king, damn it! Damn it! The translator scolded Song.

Thinking of his father's tragic death, Tu Rong was furious: "Go and die, Yihu Song!" He set up two feathered arrows and shot them into Yi Hu Song's eyes, and he caught one of the arrows, but the other arrow flew into Yi Hu Song's eyes, and immediately the blood flowed profusely.

This Yue warrior, who has made the Great Qin soldiers tired of running for several years, although he was hit by two arrows in his body, he was domineering, and none of the Qin soldiers dared to step forward.

"Look at me-" Tu Rong patted the horse, the horse ran up instantly, he jumped out of the horse's back, the bronze halberd was horizontal, and Song immediately turned his head in a different place, but his body never fell.

There were about a hundred people in the cave, and they were so frightened that they all put down their weapons and walked out slowly.

"The disarmer may live, but it is not too late to descend on me now." Tu Zhu absolved them of capital crimes, and in this way, the last army led by Song Qin was exterminated.

The news of the Song killings soon reached the ears of the other indigenous leaders, who immediately chose a new leader, Jijun, and retreated into the mountains and jungles to continue the battle with the Qin army.

Zhao Tuo was ordered to lead the army to launch a general attack on the Xi'ou army, and within half a year, these Yue armed forces with greatly reduced combat effectiveness were completely defeated by Zhao Tuo, and the rest fled to the northern part of Jiaozhi (in present-day Vietnam).

A five-year-long war had finally ended, and the Vietnamese were left with less than 200,000 left. The Qin army also paid a heavy price for casualties, and no less than 350,000 people died in battle and disease in five years, so "Huainanzi" contained: "Three years of soldiers did not disarm and gallop crossbows, so that the prison Lu could not be paid." ”

In 214 B.C., Nanyue and Xiou were completely conquered and incorporated into the territory of Great Qin, and the territory of Great Qin extended southward to the coast of the South China Sea, and since then the land of Baiyue in Lingnan has been inseparable from the Central Plains Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty set up Nanhai County in Panyu (now Guangzhou), with Ren Huan as the county lieutenant to oversee the politics, military and supervision of a county, under the jurisdiction of Panyu, Longchuan, Boluo, Sihui 4 counties, and control Guilin, Xiangjun. Zhao Tuo served as the commander of Longchuan County, built a city and opened up land for governance, and won the hearts of the people.

Zhao Xianling was not only committed to preventing the Yue people from resisting, but also adopted the policy of "harmony with the Han and Yue", and tried his best to appease the Yue people, and the sergeants were far away from their homeland, and their homesickness increased day by day.

As a result, Zhao Tuo persuaded the soldiers to raise children locally and promote the assimilation of Han and Vietnam. Subsequently, he wrote to the emperor and asked to send the residents of the Central Plains to South Vietnam in order to spread the culture of the Central Plains.

The following year, 213 BC.

The Qin Emperor dispatched 500,000 people to defend the five mountains of Dayu, Qitian, Dupang, Mengzhu and Yuecheng, reclaimed a large area of barren farmland, and built roads and passes.

In 209 BC, the peasant war broke out in the Central Plains at the end of Qin, the main force of the Qin army was at the border pass, and the rebel army attacked the vicinity of Xianyang in less than half a year, and the Qin court was in danger.

Nanhai Wei Renhuan has no son, and he must choose a great future who can control the southeast to preside over the overall situation, otherwise the land of Baiyue, which has been working hard for several years, will be in a dilemma.

If hundreds of thousands of troops go north to save the emperor, the issue of grain and grass will not be talked about for the time being. Thousands of miles away from Xianyang, the road is far away, once the army withdraws, the Yue people will rebel and make a comeback, and the blood of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in Lingnan will be shed in vain. Even if we go north, when we get to Xianyang, maybe the daylilies will be cold.

Ren Huan thought about it for a long time, thinking that the Great Qin Emperor still had more than 30 thousand troops on the Great Wall, and there were hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the capital, so he should be able to resolve the crisis without us sending troops.

Ren Huan gathered all the generals and local administrators who were facing him, held a meeting, and unanimously decided not to save him in the face of death: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, whether the emperor can survive this catastrophe depends on his character and ability." ”

In 208 B.C., Nanhai Wei Ren Huan was seriously ill and terminally ill. During his serious illness, Zhao Tuo kept sending people to visit and send precious medicinal materials, which was quite favorable. Moreover, Zhao Tuo, as the commander of Longchuan County, participated in the war to conquer Baiyue twice as a deputy general, and had a high prestige among the people, so he was the best candidate for the captain of the South China Sea.

Ren Huan knew that he was dying, so he ordered Zhao Tuo to return to Panyu quickly. Ren Huan was lying on the sickbed, coughing constantly, he took Zhao Tuo's hand and said, "And today is a big mess...... Thou shalt be the only ...... It can support the land of Lingnan alone. ”
