Chapter 67: Razing to Defeat Raze
After Fusu received Han Chuan's letter, he asked a few people who were familiar with the situation of the Yue people in Minzhong County to find out. The Yue people in Minzhong County seem to be one, but in fact they are composed of more than a dozen different tribes, and these dozen tribes belong to three different clan forces, and these three clan forces attacked and killed each other before Ren Huan led the army to capture South Vietnam, and only calmed down after South Vietnam returned to Qin.
The Yue clan who came to Minzhong County to help Zhao Tuo this time was composed of these three clan forces, and the peasant clan accounted for the majority.
These three clans seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there are many disagreements.
After learning about these circumstances, Fusu sent a letter back to Han Chuan.
Two days later, Han Chuan received a reply from Fusu.
When Han Chuan excitedly opened Fusu's reply letter, he saw that there were only four words on the letter: "Raze to raze".
Looking at the four words that Fusu wrote with a small seal, Han Chuan fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Han Chuan summoned the soldiers who had infiltrated Minzhong County to him and ordered them to infiltrate Minzhong County again to find out the details of the Yue clan.
A few days later, these Ying Long soldiers returned to the army with detailed information about the Yue people.
It turns out that the Yue people under the mountain belong to the peasant clan, which is the most powerful of the three major clans in Minzhong County, and the other two major clans in Minzhong County are the Cen clan and the Huang clan, they have been suppressed by this peasant clan for a long time, and the two oppressed clans have also joined forces to resist, but unfortunately they have not succeeded in the end.
After learning these news from the soldiers, Han Chuan understood the meaning of Fusu's four words "razing and razing". Recalling Fusu's strategy of "using razing to control razing", Han Chuan admired Fusu.
That night, a hundred Ying Long soldiers took advantage of the night to quietly touch the mountain, bypassed the pass controlled by the peasant clan at the bottom of the mountain, looked for an opportunity to hunt and kill several soldiers of the peasant clan, took off their quivers and disposed of the corpses of these people, and then went straight to the location of the Cen clan and the Huang clan.
Under the cover of night, the Ying Long soldiers used the robbed arrows to shoot dozens of people from the Cen and Huang clansmen, and afterwards these Ying Long soldiers returned to Wuyi Mountain and lurked.
At noon the next day, the leaders of the Cen and Huang clans led hundreds of clansmen to carry dozens of corpses and angrily rushed into the camp of the peasant clan garrison.
Seeing hundreds of people rushing into their camp, a dark-skinned clan leader surnamed Nong rushed back to the camp hall with an angry face.
"Two leaders, I don't know why they want to trespass on my clan's camp." The leader of the Nong clan looked at the two leaders under the hall with an unkind face and asked.
"Nongji, you are embarrassed to ask us, our two clans have been fighting for a long time, right? I thought that you would use such a depraved method to shoot my people at night. Huang Jing, the leader of the Huang clan, pointed to several corpses in the hall and said angrily.
It was only at this moment that Nong Xi saw the corpse on the ground, and took a few steps to the corpse on the ground in confusion.
"What's going on?" After looking at the corpse, Nong Xi glanced at everyone and asked.
"You still have the face to ask us?" The leader of the Cen surname, Cen Jue, said angrily and handed an arrow with blood stains on it into the hands of Nong Xi.
Looking at the arrows engraved with his clan logo on the shaft, Nong Ji was stunned for a while.
"Nongji, don't think that your clan surnamed Nong has the support of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, you can be unscrupulous against my people, if you provoke me, I will lead my clan to fight with you endlessly."
Cen Jue looked at Nong Xi "pretending" not to know, and immediately became angry, glared at Nong Ji and said.
It wasn't until this that Nong Xi roughly understood the reason why Huang Hua and Cen Jue found him: it turned out that the two thought that they had sent someone to shoot these people lying on the ground.
"Two leaders, there must be some misunderstanding among them, these people really didn't me send someone to shoot them." Nong Xi explained to Huang Hua and Cen Jue.
"Don't quibble, the arrows on these soldiers don't lie, and the arrows are clearly engraved with the logo of your peasant clan. The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it? Huang retorted angrily.
"That is, are you blind when I am a member of the Cen clan?" Cen Jue echoed.
Seeing Huang Jing and Cen Jue putting on a look of not entering the oil and salt, Nong's anger immediately came up.
"I have already said that these people were not killed by my peasant clansmen, but you don't believe them. Since you don't believe it, then I don't bother to explain, what do you want today, just say it, and I'll be the farmer. ”
Seeing Nong Ji say this, Huang Jing and Cen Jue didn't know what to say for a while.
"Nong, do you really want to reopen your feet with my two clans?" Cen Jue said with a look of resentment.
"Two, I said that these soldiers were not killed by my people, but you don't believe it, not because I am at odds with you, but because you have already decided that these soldiers were killed by my people, isn't it futile for me to explain again?" Nong Ji said helplessly to Huang Jing and Cen Jue.
Huang Jing looked at Nong Xi's sincere look, and for a while he couldn't tell whether what Nong Xi said was true or false, frowning and falling into thought.
After a moment, Huang Jing raised his head and glanced at Cen Jue beside him, and then shifted his gaze to Nong Ji.
"Leader Nong, I'll give you three days, if you can give us an explanation and prove that your clan surnamed Nong is not the murderer of my clan, my clan surnamed Huang will no longer pursue it, if you can't give us a satisfactory answer after three days, then please don't blame the leader of Nongji for not being merciful." Huang Hua said to Nong Ji with a resolute face.
"Leader Huang Can, how can you easily believe his words?" Cen Jue looked at Huang Jing in disbelief and asked.
"Leader Cen Jue, don't be impatient, I thought this matter was suspicious, or give him three days." Huang Jing persuaded Cen Jue.
Seeing that Huang Hua was willing to give Nong Ji three days, Cen Jue couldn't say anything more, so he could only agree with what Huang Hua said.
"That's it, since the leader of Huang Hua agreed to give you three days, then I will endure it for another three days."
"Two leaders, for three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer." Nong Ji said to Huang Jing and Cen Jue.
After all, dozens of people were shot and killed inexplicably, and the arrows that shot them were impressively engraved with the marks of their own clans, how can you not make people doubt it? People can give themselves three days to investigate is already making concessions, if they don't agree again, it's their own fault, after figuring this out, Nong Ji had to reluctantly agree to Huang Jing's suggestion.
Just when Nong Xi thought that he could give Huang Jing and Cen Jue a satisfactory answer within three days, the hidden Ying Long soldiers were planning another larger-scale assassination to completely provoke the fight of the three major clans.
