Chapter 758: Mei's
In the dense rainforest, a large river runs through the eastern border of South Vietnam.
This is one of the three rivers of South Vietnam, the Dongjiang River, which flows out from Gandi, crosses all the way west, and flows into the ocean near Dongguan City in later generations, and is a mother river that nourishes all living beings in Yuedi.
On the banks of the East River, in a simple military camp.
"Lou was originally a Lingbei tribe, oppressed by the Chu people, and constantly moved south to Yuedi, where he built a city and established a country."
"The South Vietnamese were barbaric, often oppressing and tying down the Lou country, not only robbing them of their food, but also taking the population captively. Under the leadership of Jiaobu, the Nanyue people united to destroy the kingdom of Lou, and heard that its lord was beheaded by the king of Nanyue and made into a wine vessel. The rest of the Lulou people either became slaves of the South Vietnamese, or were killed and eaten by them, alas......"
The person who spoke was a Yue man in his thirties, who looked like a tiger, had a tattooed hair, and an ivory hairpin crossed his nose.
Han Xin asked directly: "So after your Mei clan went south, you were also bullied by the South Vietnamese here, and you Mei Cai is afraid that you will fall into the same fate as the Lou Kingdom in the future." That's why you want to take refuge in my Qin State to deal with South Vietnam? β
Mei Cai nodded silently and said, "Compared to the cannibalistic Nanyue barbarians, our Mei clan is willing to serve Great Qin. β
"Hmm."
Cao Shen sat on the main seat, smiled, and said to Mei Cai: "This time, my Great Qin's expedition to South Vietnam is presided over by the Marquis of Wugong, and this battle will definitely be won, and you don't need to worry about taking the Mei clan to join my Great Qin." If you can help our army to conquer South Vietnam, it will be a great achievement. In the future, under the rule of my Great Qin, not only can I live and work in peace and contentment, but I also don't have to worry about the danger of being eaten by the South Vietnamese. β
Hearing this, the generals in the tent chuckled.
Mei Cai laughed dryly.
He learned the etiquette of the Qin people and said to Cao: "General Cao, rest assured, my Mei clan is sincerely seeking refuge in Great Qin." When I returned, I brought the warriors of my clan to attack South Vietnam with General Cao. β
"That's great, you've made the right choice this time."
Cao Shen comforted and encouraged Mei Cai again, and gave a beautiful and sharp iron sword as a gift, so that the other party left gratefully.
Looking at Mei Cai's departing back, Han Xin said in a low voice: "Wait, there will be no fraud in this Mei clan's surrender." β
"No, the Mai clan and the South Vietnamese are not of the same race. They are the descendants of Goujian, the king of Yue, and are the same as Dongou and Minyue. After all, they are the descendants of the former overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, and compared to those cannibalistic South Vietnamese barbarians, they will naturally choose our civilized state. β
Cao Shen shook his head, then looked at Han Xin and smiled: "Why, this is the strategy you proposed to General Shang to divide the South Vietnamese tribes, and at this time, you still doubt it?" β
Han Xin smiled awkwardly.
He had previously proposed to Zhao Tuo to take advantage of the opportunity for the army to settle Minyue and send troops to South Vietnam. It was good to take advantage of the great victory of the Qin army to win over the tribes of the South Vietnamese tribes who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Jiao and Tiger tribes, and find allies for the Qin army to attack South Vietnam.
After the formation of the field song was completed and the march to South Vietnam, Han Xin sent envoys to the Buffalo Tribe, the Hornet Tribe, the Yellow Dog Department and other South Vietnamese tribes with the intention of soliciting them.
As a result, all the envoys of the Qin army sent out fell to the ground, and the one who was sent back to the barracks was either a stinky head or a bloody human skin.
This is a misunderstanding in Hanxin's thinking.
The reason why Dongou and Minyue were able to successfully annex the Qin State before was because these two Yue Kingdoms were the descendants of Goujian, the king of Yue. Their ancestors can be traced back to Xia Yu's Miao descendants, who are congenitally linked to the Central Plains regime.
Therefore, when the Qin army went south to conquer, Minyue and Dongou fought the Qin army, and they resisted. If they couldn't defeat the Qin army, they would surrender to the Qin state, and they didn't have much resistance to annexing the Central Plains.
The South Vietnamese tribes are different, they are independent cultures that have nothing to do with the Central Plains regime, they are native Lingnan natives, and they claim to be the descendants of Bu Luotuo.
Even though many tribes in South Vietnam were oppressed by the Jiao and Tiger tribes, in their eyes, no matter how ferocious and terrible the king of South Vietnam was, it was also his own people, and everyone was of the same race.
The Qin people were foreign invaders, and they were not in the same system as the South Vietnamese tribes in terms of cultural customs and other aspects.
In addition, Tu Sui attacked Xiou, who was also a descendant of Bu Luotuo, last year, and killed them there, which made the South Vietnamese have a very bad impression of the Qin army.
and the defeat of the Qin army at Xi'ou, which also made them have some contempt for these invaders from the Central Plains.
All these factors combined, and it was impossible for the South Vietnamese tribes to accept the solicitation of the Qin army.
Han Xin's division and solicitation strategy failed, which made his blood half cold.
The experienced Cao Shen saw another key point from it.
As the descendants of Buluotuo, the South Vietnamese tribes were difficult to recruit the Qin army.
But what about the land of South Vietnam, which did not belong to the other tribes of the descendants of Bulota?
For example, a little farther away, the Mai Thi Yue people are located near the Beijiang River in South Vietnam.
Cao Shen sent an envoy to make a detour to the Mei clan near the Beijiang River, and then today ushered in the allegiance of the Mei clan's patriarch Mei Cai.
β¦β¦
A small town near the Beijiang River in the south of Vietnam.
As soon as Metsa returned to the city, a young man rushed up to her.
"Father, how is the Qin people's reply?"
The boy's name is Mei Kai, and he is fifteen this year.
Although he is young, he is not worse than an adult, and he has long arms, and he has a pair of divine powers, and he is the first warrior of the Mei clan.
When his father went to the Qin military camp in Dongjiang, Mei Kai was in charge of staying behind the tribe.
Mei Cai said with a smile: "The conditions given by the Qin people are very good, as long as the Wu Mei clan helps them to conquer South Vietnam, they can choose any place to live, and they don't have to be bullied by the South Vietnamese people." Moreover, the general of the Qin State said that if we kill the South Vietnamese, every time we take a head, we can exchange cloth, grain and other things from them! β
"There is still a reward for killing South Vietnamese?"
Mei Li was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "That's great, I've long been fed up with the bullying of those South Vietnamese barbarians, and now with the support of the Qin people, see that he I killed him all over the ground!" β
Mei Cai nodded, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
They eventually annexed the Qin State.
The Mai clan is not a native of South Vietnam, but a branch of Yang Viet living in the north. He used to live near Yugan in the Gan region and was ruled by the Chu people.
The Qin general Feng Wuxue led his troops south, because the Qin army had a bad reputation in the Qin-Chu War, and the Mei clan was unwilling to take refuge in the Qin people, so they simply moved their clan to the south and built a city on a small flat dam near the Beijiang River in South Vietnam, and multiplied.
After Mai moved here, he inevitably came into contact with the local South Vietnamese natives.
The two are not the same clan, but belong to different peoples, and naturally contradictions arise, and then conflicts erupt.
The Yellow Dog Tribe, which lived in Bac Giang, often bullied the people of the Mai clan.
or stealing Mei's rice, or snatching Mei's women and children, in short, the locals bully visitors from other places in every way.
Because of his concern for the South Vietnamese tribes behind the Yellow Dog Division, Mai often swallowed his anger when encountering conflicts.
Because Mei Cai heard the story of the country of Zhulou, who originally lived near the Dongjiang River, outsiders annoyed the local natives, and often ended up being slaughtered and the entire clan wiped out.
Mai held back, and they took root in South Vietnam by their patience, but the resentment towards the South Vietnamese was growing in their hearts.
The Qin general Cao Shen sent an envoy to recruit Mei's family, which naturally poked into Mei Cai's heart.
Mei Cai, who migrated south from the north, knew better than these Nanyue people who sat back and watched the sky how powerful the Qin State really was.
This time, Zhao Tuo, the commander of the Qin army, he has been famous for a long time.
"With the martial arts marquis leading the army, the Qin army will win this battle, and I, the Mei clan, should take this opportunity to join the Qin camp and avenge the humiliation I have suffered in the past ten years!"
Mei Cai shouted at his son: "You go and gather my Mei warriors, this time my Mei will send 3,000 troops to deal with these South Vietnamese barbarians with the Qin people!" β
"Good!"
β¦β¦
The thirty-third year of Qin Shi Huang, early autumn.
The Qin general Cao Shen led the army and the Mei Yue people to join forces to attack the South Vietnamese Yellow Dog Department, killing more than 2,000 South Vietnamese people, and the jungle was full of blood.
When the king of Nanyue heard this, he was furious and summoned all the tribes of Nanyue to launch an all-out counterattack against the Mei Yue and the Qin army.
I'm going to pick up a friend later, but it's not going to be tonight. The day after tomorrow will be made up for three more.
"LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period": Yang, the south of the Han Dynasty, the occasion of the Hundred Yue...... The country of bound Lou, Yangyu, and the donkey
