The national capital of South Vietnam, Panyu.

At this time, the palace was filled with a pungent smell of medicine.

Zhao Tuo, who had ruled Nanyue for more than 80 years and was already over 100 years old, was already on the verge of dying.

His still living sons, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren, and many other descendants, gathered in the palace, crying and changing their eyes, and many well-intentioned people were waiting for the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

After all, Zhao Tuo has ruled Nanyue for too long, close to the lord of a century.

Countless careerists can't wait any longer, and they are bent on sharing the delicious cake left over after Zhao Tuo's death.

Under the premise that Zhao Tuo is seriously ill and dying, everything else seems so insignificant.

Even if Dongou was attached to the Han Dynasty, and Minyue sent people to ask for help, they were all blocked.

On this day, he had fallen into a coma, and suddenly opened his eyes, and his withered face even had a flush.

He looked at his grandson Zhao Hu who was waiting by the bedside, and the first thing he said was, "How is the war?" ”

Before he completely fell into an intermittent coma, Zhao Tuo had already learned that the Han soldiers and horses had defeated the Minyue Kingdom, and the Dongou Kingdom had been attached to the country.

Unlike those who feel that they have nothing to do with themselves, Zhao Tuo, who is extremely experienced, is naturally able to see through the determination of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and the ultimate goal.

The Son of Heaven of the Great Han is here to pacify Sanyue!

"Father." Zhao Hu, who looked tired, shouted in surprise, "Are you awake?" I'm going to call someone."

"Don't go."

Zhao Tuo knew that he had run out of oil at this time, but he was just returning to the light, where would he have the time and energy to meet so many people.

He said to his heir, "Tell me how the war is going." ”

"Minyue sent people to ask for help, saying that the Han army descended from heaven and appeared outside Dongye City by sea"

"Alas~~~"

Zhao Tuo sighed, already knowing the end of Minyue Kingdom.

"Father." Zhao Hu whispered, "Do you want to send reinforcements?" ”

"Send some reinforcements." Zhao Tuo shook his head again and again, "I'm afraid that the Minyue Kingdom is gone, and then the Han army should come to deal with our Nanyue Kingdom." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hu was shocked: "How can this be good?" ”

His surprise was not pretended, in this era, Dahan was the number one superpower in Tianzi.

Its national strength is strong enough to make the South Vietnamese country tremble.

In the past, it relied on the terrain to block the Han army, but now the Han army simply went directly to the sea, and Panyu is almost located on the seaside, without the advantage of the terrain, where is there still the power to resist.

Zhao Tuo, whose expression gradually dimmed, coughed a few times, and said weakly, "When you can't do anything, make a decision now." If you can't beat the big man, then join the big man. Remember, you can't carry it to the end, because South Vietnam doesn't have the capital to carry it to the end."

Zhao Tuo's voice became lower and lower, until it was faintly audible, "Send me back to Middle Earth after I die, and bury me next to His Majesty's mausoleum"

By the time Zhao Hu, who was in deep thought and entangled, came back to his senses and looked at the past, Zhao Tuo, who was lying on the bed, was already lifeless.

"Father~~~"

A terrible cry resounded throughout the palace, and in a short time, the cry inside and outside the palace shook the sky.

Zhao Tuo, who had ruled South Vietnam for nearly a hundred years, finally fell.

The last wish of this former Great Qin general is to return to the former emperor.

Most of Zhao Tuo's sons died early, after all, he was too capable of living, and at the age of more than a hundred years, where would any son still live.

So early from among the grandsons, Zhao Hu was selected to cultivate, and then he successfully became the king of Nanyue.

It's just that South Vietnam at this time was stormy and facing the danger of annihilation.

After the funeral here, the news of the destruction of the Minyue Kingdom over there was transmitted, and the entire Nanyue Kingdom was full of panic.

It's just a few months of effort, and the land of Sanyue has been wiped out by two, and the Han army is so strong, who can not be afraid.

At the court meeting, Zhao Hu said, "If it doesn't work, why don't you come down?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Immediately, many civil and military nobles came out one after another, and expressed their fierce opposition.

The reason is very simple, it has been more than 80 years since the state of South Vietnam, and the local natives have no perception of Middle-earth, and even have a covetous heart, a typical barbarian mentality.

Don't think it's impossible, the arrogant Yelang country is not far from the South Vietnamese country.

As for the hundreds of thousands of descendants of the old Qin people who went south to South Vietnam, after so many years, they have been several generations, and naturally they have no nostalgia and feelings for Middle-earth.

Moreover, in their eyes, the Great Han is a traitor who plotted to seize the world of Great Qin.

Because of this, when Zhao Hu expressed his desire to surrender to the Han Dynasty, he was almost one-sided in opposition.

To be able to exert power in South Vietnam is, of course, better than being constrained by the Han Dynasty.

"But the Han army is about to attack soon." Zhao Hu said the hidden danger: "I, South Vietnam, am afraid that I am not an opponent. ”

Minister Lu Jia immediately retorted loudly: "Your Excellency's words are wrong. ”

"My South Vietnamese soldiers are well fed and united. It also has the dangers of mountains and rivers, no matter how strong the Han army is, what can it do if it can't get by. ”

"But the Han army crossed the sea with a navy to attack it." Zhao Hu said eagerly: "Dongou and Minyue were all destroyed by the Han army crossing the sea. If the Han army crosses the sea and loses the geographical obstruction of our South Vietnam, how can we resist it? ”

"It's easy."

As the minister of state, Lu Jia naturally knows this kind of information.

He had discussed with the doorman how to deal with it before, and it was time to take it out and use it.

"The Han army has a naval army, and I also have a South Vietnamese country!"

Lu Jia looked around at everyone and said loudly, "If the Han army comes from the sea, then resist it with the water army first, and if it can't be stopped, then resist it on land." In the end, the Han army still has to go ashore, as long as it waits until it goes ashore and attacks it halfway, it will be able to break the Han army

！ ”

In history, Zhao Hu's grandson Zhao Xing wanted to surrender to the Han Dynasty, but Lu Jia tried his best to oppose it, and later simply killed Zhao Xing and his mother Empress Dowager, and even the envoy sent by the Han Dynasty was killed, saying that he would swear not to stand with the Han and fight to the death.

This person is a staunch anti-Han faction.

The small states around the Han Dynasty have a significant characteristic, that is, they can't grasp the form.

I always think that I am so good, and I always feel that the big man is just like this.

This is true of the South Vietnamese country, and the same is true of the Yelang country.

On the contrary, it was the Xiongnu who were really powerful, and they knew the strength of the Han Dynasty, so they engaged in mutual markets and divided the two families inside and outside the Great Wall.

Even the small states of the Western Regions know the power of the Great Han.

Even if the lord of his own country was cut down by the Han envoy, he didn't dare to blow up the stab.

This may be the difference in the degree of civilization and civilization.

The countries of the Western Regions are located on the Silk Road, and they know a lot about it.

And small countries such as South Vietnam and Yelang are powerful in closed and poor places, and they can't see how gorgeous the scenery outside the mountains is, so they naturally don't know how many catties and taels they have.

With Lu Jia taking the lead, everyone was clamoring, saying that they wanted to fight the Han to the end.

Zhao Hu, who had just ascended to the throne, was also helpless, he didn't have Zhao Tuo's prestige and skills, and he could hold everyone.

In the face of this situation, we can only choose to acquiesce.

The people of Nanyue only knew that the Han army attacked the capital directly into the hinterland by sea, but they did not know the scale and strength of the Han army.

When their self-righteous navy encountered the Han army's navy on the sea, their bursting self-confidence was instantly knocked to the ground from the sky.

In terms of numbers, the South Vietnamese State had an advantage, but such an advantage was meaningless in the face of real strength.

The navy ships of the Han army are all big guys with 200 or even 400 materials, and the smallest ships start from 100 tons.

But here in South Vietnam, the largest boats are less than 100 tons, and most of them are even small fishing boats of local fishermen.

These small fishing boats are not even able to fight in the war, because they are too small and short for the South Vietnamese sergeants on the fishing boats to climb on.

The Han navy ships appeared off the coast of Panyu, and the naval forces of the South Vietnamese State had to step forward to meet them.

In naval warfare, the level of technology is the demonstration of strength.

The small fishing boats of the South Vietnamese navy, when they were close to the Han army's big ships, couldn't even get close, and they were directly overturned by the waves.

There is no way, the difference in tonnage is too big, and this is not something that can be changed by manpower and faith.

The huge South Vietnamese naval army was defeated without surprise.

If you can't even get close, then naturally there's nothing to fight.

However, the Han army also had some trouble here, although they defeated the worthless naval army of the South Vietnamese State, but when they wanted to land, they saw a lot of South Vietnamese soldiers and horses on the shore.

In the days when there were no seaports, disembarkation was carried by small boats.

The transportation capacity of small boats is limited, so naturally it cannot show the advantages of numbers, techniques, tactics, formations, etc.

The enemy guards the shore and can easily eat the soldiers and horses that come ashore one by one.

In desperation, Li Danghu had no choice but to lead the fleet to find other suitable landing places nearby.

Unexpectedly, the South Vietnamese State mobilized almost all the forces along the coast, set up beacons everywhere to keep their eyes on the sea, and resolutely refused to give the Han army a chance to go ashore.

Gongsun Ao, who had a sad face, found Li Danghu, "Li Dudu, how is this good?" ”

It's true that there is no army but no way to go ashore

"There's no need to rush." Li Danghu said with a smile: "The coast of South Vietnam is long, why not a thousand miles? How many people are there in South Vietnam, and where can they protect them. ”

"If you want to stop our army from going ashore, you can only use a more powerful navy than us. But they don't, so they can't stop it. ”

Gongsun Ao's state of mind was much better, and he asked, "Then what should I do now?" ”

"Let's go back to the open sea first, and find a suitable place to land. At most, it is a longer road to walk after going ashore, and it will be a little later to the city of Panyu. ”

"That's very good."

The retreat of the Han army's navy made the South Vietnamese country mistakenly think that their strict defense had an effect, and they cheered one by one, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

But within a few days, they received information from the fishermen who inquired about the news, and the Han army found a deep-water harbor in the open sea Lingding Ocean to go ashore, and also built a military camp of Nuoda.

Just like Li Danghu said, passive defense can never be held.

After all, with such a long coastline, how can the population and technological level of South Vietnam be comprehensive.

And the deep-water harbor chosen by Li Danghu and others, if Li Yunze knew its specific location, he would inevitably sigh with emotion, 'Pearl of the Orient.' ’
