This is okay, it is clear that it is to cross the river and demolish the bridge. Most of the copper and iron tools of the Nanyue Kingdom relied on imports from the Central Plains, and the livestock were also imported from the Central Plains, and the economy was heavily dependent on the Han Dynasty.

Empress Lü had her wishful thinking, and she was bent on putting Zhao Tuo to death and curbing the economic development of South Vietnam, and when the economy collapsed, the Yue people would have civil strife, and then send troops to pacify the largest prince in the south in one fell swoop.

"Damn, I'm an emperor, and it's okay to go to the emperor's name, so now this femme fatale Lu Hou is actually backwater, Nanyue is my hard work, and it has been in business for decades, and the king of Nanyue is not your Lu Houfeng. I didn't want the people of Li to fall into war, so I called your husband a vassal. ”

The more Zhao Tuo thought about it, the more angry he became, obviously he was humiliated, out of courtesy, he sent Nei Shi Fan, Lieutenant Gao, and Yu Shi Ping to Chang'an three times, advising Empress Lu not to treat South Vietnam as a barbarian and resume border trade as soon as possible.

Empress Lü thought that Zhao Tuo was weak and could be bullied, so she ignored his requests and forcibly detained three envoys from Nanyue. Without doing anything, Empress Lu was really crazy, and even sent an army to Zhao Tuo's hometown of Zhending, Hebei, to dig up the family tombs of his parents and cut down his brother's clan.

"It's bearable, it's unbearable!"

"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!"

Zhao Tuo has seen the conspiracy of Empress Lu clearly, and in 183 BC he proclaimed himself Emperor Wu of Nanyue, and took the Yellow House to see how capable you are Empress Lu, and you are angry with the old lady of Lu Pheasant!

The news of Zhao Tuo's proclamation as emperor soon reached Empress Lü, and she was furious and immediately cut off the princes of the king of Nanyue and cut off contact with him. "It must be the king of Changsha who slandered Empress Lu, I have to teach him a lesson!"

So Zhao Tuo used this as an excuse to send troops north many times to attack the border towns and southern counties of Changsha State, and after the battle, he looted some property, grain, iron tools, and horses, and withdrew to the Lingnan area.

The king of Changsha was frightened half to death by the menacing South Vietnamese army, and suffered from the repeated intrusions of the South Vietnamese state, and the king of Changsha, who was scared and hurt by Zhao Tuo, constantly sent envoys to the central government of the Han Dynasty for help.

"Hey, hey! I didn't expect that Zhao Tuo, a young old man, was really not afraid of death, and openly provoked my Han Tianwei. Empress Lü was furious at the court meeting and decided to send Hou Zhouzao to lead the Han soldiers, planning to cross the city ridge and take the road of the Lingqu to the south of the country.

At that time, it was the hot and rainy season in the south, and it was difficult for the soldiers in the north to adapt to the water and soil climate in the south, and many soldiers were seriously ill on the way, and many people died.

Zhao Tuo knew that the comer was not good, so he sent heavy troops to guard the pass of Yuechengling to confront the Han soldiers, and there was no need to attack, the Han army had become the end of the strong crossbow, and there was no need to talk about fighting. After several encounters, the Han soldiers did not take advantage of it and never managed to cross the ridge and enter the territory of South Vietnam.

The armies of the Han and Vietnamese held each other for more than a year, until 179 BC, after Empress Lü died of illness, the Han army voluntarily withdrew, and the two sides ceased fighting.

A year before Zhao Tuo's death, a fortune teller broke into the palace of the Nanyue royal palace and said that the dragon veins of 100,000 Qin Tian were abnormal, and a great ritual had to be held to make the national fortunes of Nanyue last for more than 300 years.

Zhao Tuo didn't think so, thinking that the Jianghu Warlock was not credible, so he didn't take Mr.'s suggestion, but just rewarded the gentleman with hundreds of gold, and sent him away with a smile......

After the Han Dynasty changed the emperor, he took the initiative to repair relations with Nanyue, and the Nanyue Kingdom that had been preserved continued to be independent, Zhao Tuo was in good health, survived nine sons, and died of illness at the age of 103.

Vietnamese historian Li Song commented on Zhao Tuo, he said, "(Emperor Wu) took advantage of the Qin Rebellion, Dying Lingbiao, all in Panyu, and the Han Gaozu emperors, there is the benevolence of loving the people, the wisdom of protecting the country, the martial arts are intimidating the silkworm cong (Anyang Wang Shupan), the culture and education are like Xiangjun, the national customs are trained by poetry and books, the people's hearts are consolidated with benevolence and righteousness, the people are taught to farm, and the country is rich and the army is strong...... The master of true heroes and talents. ”

It seems that the Vietnamese people still treat Zhao Tuo as the first emperor in the history of Vietnam, which shows that Zhao Tuo's contribution to the ancient Yue region is quite large, and his status in the hearts of the Yue people is quite high.

The enthroned grandson Zhao Hu (also called Zhao Ying) is a typical "***", and his attachment to the Han Dynasty is deepening day by day. However, during his reign of more than ten years, he also followed his grandfather's example, and still said that he was sick and did not go to Chang'an to see the emperor, so he was afraid that he would never return.

By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, the strength of the Han Dynasty had increased greatly, but after three large-scale wars against the Xiongnu, the vitality was greatly damaged, and the big fat meat of Nanyue had no strength and no reason to swallow it for the time being, and it was returned to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

In Zhao Yingqi's generation, due to improper handling of the heirs, there was infighting. In 113 BC, Zhao Xing succeeded to the throne as the king of Nanyue, and respected his mother as the queen mother.

Zhao Xing was still young when he succeeded to the throne, and he could not control Lu Jia, who was the prime minister of the Three Dynasties. His mother, the Empress Dowager, was at a disadvantage in the power struggle with Lu Jia.

In the same year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent An Guo Shaoji as an envoy to Nanyue to inform Zhao Xing and the Empress Dowager that they should follow the mainland princes to go to Beijing to worship Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Zhao Xing and Empress Dowager Hui from the Central Plains were willing to belong to the Han Dynasty, but Lü Jia, the prime minister who held the real power of Nanyue, strongly opposed it, and thus rebelled.

In the fifth year of Yuan Ding (112 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Han Qianqiu and Empress Dowager's younger brother Yue Le to lead 2,000 troops to Nanyue to prepare to assassinate Lü Jia.

When Han Qianqiu and Yue Le entered the Nanyue Kingdom, Lü Jia preemptively led his troops into the palace, killed Zhao Xing, the Empress Dowager and the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time supported Zhao Jiande as the king of Nanyue, and sent people to inform Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, and the officials of the counties and counties under the Nanyue Kingdom.

Han Qianqiu's army entered South Vietnamese territory and captured several border towns. Subsequently, the Nanyue people pretended not to resist, and provided the Han army with food, so that Han Qianqiu's army could advance smoothly, and when they reached a place forty miles away from Panyu, the South Vietnamese country suddenly attacked Han Qianqiu's army and wiped them all out.

Then Lü Jia sent people to pack the talismans of the Han envoys in wooden boxes, and attached a letter pretending to apologize to the Han Dynasty, and placed them on the Han-Vietnamese border, and at the same time sent troops to strictly defend the various fortresses on the border of South Vietnam.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned of this, he was very angry, on the one hand, he sympathized with the relatives of the victims, and named Han Qianqiu's son Han Yannian as the Marquis of Cheng'an, and the son of Han Le's son Han Guangde as the Marquis of Longkang, and on the other hand, issued an edict to send troops to the Nanyue Kingdom.

In the autumn of the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty (110 B.C.), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dispatched 100,000 Cantonese people and 100,000 soldiers south of Jianghuai to attack South Vietnam. Fubo general Lu Bode set out from Guiyang, Changsha State, and went south along the Huangshui. Yang Pu, the general of the building boat, went down to Hengpu from Yuzhang County and entered Nanxiong from Jiangxi. These two roads both took the Beijiang River and went straight to Panyu, which was the main force in the five armies.

Originally Cantonese and later surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the two Guiyi Marquis Zheng Yan and Tian Jia were General Ge Chuan and General Shimose respectively, starting from Lingling, all the way along the Lishui River into the Yulin of present-day Guangxi, all the way to Cangwu. These two armies used the Lingqu and the Xiangjiang waterway to approach Panyu. Chiyi Marquis He Yi led the sinners of Bashu and the army of Yelang Kingdom, along the Qiqi River, through the Xijiang River, and met in Panyu.

After the destruction of Nanyue, the area under the jurisdiction of Nanyue was changed to nine counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Zhuya, and Dan'er, and the Lingnan region became a county of the Han Dynasty again.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally eradicated the separatist forces of South Vietnam, eliminated Minyue, subdued the southwest region, deterred the Xiongnu in the north, and truly achieved all counties within the four seas, achieving unprecedented political unification.

After the destruction of the Nanyue Kingdom, the Han Dynasty set up Shi'an County in Gutian, which was subordinate to Lingling County in Jingzhou, which was the beginning of Gutian being included in the written records of the county for the first time.

More than 200 years have passed, and the military castle of Gutian still stands on the Yuecheng Ridge. Since Zhao Tuo made his way out of the wasteland in Gutian and became a king, he has been in Lingnan for nearly 70 years, so the legend that Gutian has an imperial dragon vein has spread among the people. Gutian is vast, and it is not easy to find the so-called dragon vein, but there is no way for those who have attained the Tao to know the specific location.

A post road and trade road from northeast to southwest winds through the foot of Gutian Mountain, and the sound of horses' hooves falls, and the wheels roll and the dust flies. Merchants, literati, and officials from the south to the north will stay here, and with tens of thousands of garrisons and reclaimers here, shops, restaurants, and markets have come into being. So in the castle and on the street, there were shouts, storytelling, and fist slashing in the south and north...... At night, the candles are swaying, and the lights are green.

For a time, the town became a transit place for horses, silk, timber, salt and iron, etc., and the flow of people and houses increased day by day, and the ancient town gradually became lively and prosperous. In autumn, yellow is the main feature here, with wildflowers and fruits hanging on the branches. The afterglow of sunset sprinkled on the mountains, farmlands, castles, streets and alleys, the whole ancient town is like a rich and gorgeous oil painting, small bridges and flowing water have people's homes, but there are no dead vines and old trees and crows.

The yellow scarf rises, and the world is in chaos. The powerful and powerful in various places have become self-reliant and divided one side, and Gutian has become a salivating fat in the eyes of many warlords. The generals stationed here were heavily armed, condescending, and bent on keeping the place safe, and many lobbyists who came to persuade him to surrender and threatened came one after another, but he sent them away for various reasons. The general said that with me, no one should want to touch this "paradise on earth".

One day, a middle-aged man with a scarred face who claimed to be "known for 500 years before and 500 years later" came to the ancient town, telling fortunes and divination for free on the street, and people began to believe in the good things of pie falling from the sky.

There were more and more onlookers, and more than a dozen people asked him to calculate the past and future for himself, hey, what a god! In the past, this gentleman is exactly right. People were impressed by this gentleman's deeds and could not help but praise him.

Suddenly, a big-eared merchant surnamed Qian, burly, majestic, with a group of family members fully armed, strode over.

This person is a relative of the county guard, a rich party, has practiced martial arts since childhood, has a great martial arts, although he is a businessman, but every time there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, he is extremely generous, and he is kind to the people, and people call him "the god of money". Seeing that the God of Money and Wealth had arrived, the people immediately made way for him.
