Chapter 66: The First Sight of the Yue Clan

Just when Orion took Ying Long's soldiers into the mountains to find a secret way to infiltrate Minzhong County, a team of South Vietnamese envoys secretly went to Jiangdong to ask for help at the behest of Zhao Tuo.

A few days later, the South Vietnamese envoys arrived at the Jiangdong Army camp in Lujiang County, and Xiang Bo also guessed the intention of the South Vietnamese envoys.

Due to Meng Tian's continuous offensive, Xiang Bo had no choice but to temporarily move the Jiangdong government to Lujiang County, and all Jiangdong affairs were also sent to Xiang Bo, the front-line military camp in Lujiang County, so Xiang Bo chose to meet the South Vietnamese envoys in the military camp.

Xiang Bo chose to meet the South Vietnamese envoys in the military camp with another meaning, that is, he wanted the South Vietnamese envoys to see the situation of Jiang Dong and make them understand that Jiang Dong was indeed unable to help South Vietnam.

When the South Vietnamese envoy explained his intention to Xiang Bo, Xiang Bo was silent for a while.

It's not that Xiang Bo doesn't understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but Jiangdong himself is trying his best to resist the two-way army of Meng Tian and Wang Li, and he really can't spare troops to help South Vietnam.

Looking at the South Vietnamese envoy with an expectant face, Xiang Bo did not coax, but reluctantly chose to tell the truth.

Just when the Jiangdong envoy returned to Minzhong County with Xiang Bo's intentions, the team of Ying Long soldiers under the leadership of Orion found a trail in Wuyi Mountain that could sneak into Minzhong County.

Half a month later, Sergeant Ying Long, who was exploring the road in Wuyi Mountain, returned to the Qin army camp located at the border of Minzhong County with the news of the secret passage.

Fusu looked at the sketch of the secret passage drawn by Sergeant Ying Long and nodded with satisfaction.

Because these Ying Long soldiers had systematically studied mapping at the Great Qin Military Academy, the maps they drew were already very accurate.

After reviewing it, Fusu put away the map in his hand, and his eyes wandered over Han Chuan and the other generals.

"Han Chuan, or this time, you will lead the 3,000 Ying Long Army and the 5,000 Tiger Ben Army to infiltrate Minzhong County first, and open up a passage for our army to enter Minzhong County." Fusu looked at Han Chuan and said.

"No, I will be commanded." Han Chuan excitedly accepted Fusu's order.

……

The day after Fusu issued the order, Han Chuan led 3,000 Ying Long troops and 5,000 Tiger Ben troops to leave the camp and go to Minzhong County along the secret road that had been explored before.

When Han Chuan and his entourage were about to leave Wuyi Mountain, they were unexpectedly blocked by a simple pass built with stones.

Han Chuan took out the map and studied it, and then looked at the soldier who had explored the path before suspiciously, wondering what was going on with the pass in front of him, the soldier shook his head blankly, obviously he didn't know what was going on.

The pass in front of him should have been piled up within ten days after Ying Longjun returned from exploring the road, so the soldiers and soldiers of Ying Long did not know.

Han Chuan looked at the soldiers moving at the pass and shook his head suspiciously, it was obvious that the soldiers at the pass were not Zhao Tuo's South Vietnamese army, because they were dressed differently from the South Vietnamese army, and the biggest difference between them and the South Vietnamese army was that they were all barefoot.

Han Chuan did not rush down the mountain, but led the soldiers to retreat to Wuyi Mountain, and then sent a few Ying Long soldiers to disguise themselves and touch the mountain in the night.

At night the next day, the Ying Long army who had gone down the mountain returned to Han Chuan's army in Wuyi Mountain under the cover of night, and told Han Chuan in detail the news they had learned from the mountain.

Guarding the pass under the mountain turned out to be the indigenous Yue soldiers of Minzhong County.

Due to the Qin Dynasty's feudal rule over Minzhong County (a mode of rule that uses razing to control raze, similar to the Tusi system in later generations), Minzhong County has no specific county government except for Dongye, and many areas of Minzhong County are ruled by Yue chieftains.

It turned out that there were no Yue people living in the Minyue area near Wuyi Mountain, but in order to guard Minzhong County, Zhao Tuo actually divided a large area under Wuyi Mountain to the Yue people in a frenzy, just to let the Yue people help him resist the Qin army.

The reason why Zhao Tuo wanted to exchange land for the Yue people to resist the Qin army was because Zhao Tuo knew that the Yue people were brave and good at fighting. As a general under Ren Huan's southern expedition to Baiyue, Zhao Tuo has a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the indigenous Yue people in South Vietnam.

The prestige of the Yue people in South Vietnam has lasted for thousands of years, and it can be seen how strong the fighting power of the Yue people in the Qin period is from the courage of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi during the Anti-Japanese War in later generations.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the fierce style of the Yue people, brave and good at fighting, they often plundered the Central Plains countries close to South Vietnam, and for a time almost became the shadow in the hearts of Chu and other Central Plains countries.

After the Great Qin swept away the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang launched an army of 500,000 to attack South Vietnam, and launched a fierce battle with more than 50,000 South Vietnamese soldiers, and it took ten years before all parts of South Vietnam were included in the rule of Great Qin, and the Qin army also paid a huge price for this, with nearly 300,000 casualties.

This time, Zhao Tuo asked the Yue people to resist the Fusu army, just to let the Qin army under the command of Fusu reappear the same casualties as when he conquered South Vietnam, and after the Yue soldiers caused huge casualties to the Qin army, he led the army to kill and expel the Qin army from South Vietnam, and then take advantage of the situation to recover the lost counties of South Vietnam.

Hearing that it was the soldiers of the Yue clan who were guarding the pass under the mountain, Han Chuan's face became solemn.

During this time in South Vietnam, Han Chuan had a detailed understanding of the situation in South Vietnam, and Han Chuan was also clear about the courage and good fighting of the Yue soldiers.

Although the combat effectiveness of the 3,000 Yinglong Army and the 5,000 Tiger Ben Army under Han Chuan's command was not weak, Han Chuan did not want to rashly test the combat effectiveness of the Yue soldiers with the lives of these soldiers.

Facing the Yue soldiers under the mountain, Han Chuan had no idea for a while, and while looking for a way to deal with it, he repaired the book and sent someone to Fusu.
