General Qin

In the dense rainforest, a large river runs through the eastern border of South Vietnam.

This is the Dongjiang River, one of the three rivers in South Vietnam. It flows out from Jiangxi, crosses all the way westward, and flows into the ocean near Dongguan City in later generations. It is a mother river that nourishes all living beings in Vietnam.

On the bank of the Dongjiang River, in a simple military camp.

"Fu Lou was originally a tribe in the north of Ling Dynasty. Under the oppression of the Chu people, they continued to move south to Yue, where they built a city and established a country."

"The South Vietnamese were barbaric and often oppressed the Bulou Kingdom. They not only robbed their food, but also often robbed their people. Under the leadership of the Jiao tribe, the South Vietnamese people united to attack and destroy the Bulou Kingdom. I heard that the leader of the country was beheaded by the King of Nanyue. The heads were cut off and made into drinking vessels. The rest of the Shoulou people either became slaves of the South Vietnamese or were killed and eaten by them, alas..."

The speaker was a Yue man in his thirties, with a muscular build, tattoos and broken hair, and an ivory hairpin crossing his nose.

Han Xin asked directly: "So after your Mei family went south, you were also bullied by the South Vietnamese here. You, Mei Cai, were afraid that you would end up like the Lou Kingdom in the future. So you want to join our Qin State to deal with South Vietnam?"

Mei Cai nodded silently and said: "Compared to the cannibalistic South Vietnamese barbarians, our Mei family is willing to surrender to the Qin Dynasty."

"Um."

Cao Shen sat on the main seat with a smile on his face and said to Mei Cai: "This time our Great Qin's expedition to South Vietnam will be presided over by Marquis Wu Gong. This battle will definitely be successful. You don't have to worry about taking the Mei family to join our Great Qin." . If you can help our army conquer South Vietnam, it will be a great achievement. In the future, under my rule, Da Qin, you will not only be able to live and work in peace and contentment, but you will also not have to worry about the danger of being eaten by the South Vietnamese."

Hearing this, the generals in the tent chuckled.

Mei Cai laughed dryly.

He learned the etiquette of the Qin people and said to Cao Shen: "Don't worry, General Cao. I, the Mei family, sincerely surrender to the Qin Dynasty. When I return, I will bring the warriors from my clan to attack South Vietnam with General Cao."

"That's great. You Mei 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, making the other party leave gratefully.

Looking at Mei Cai's leaving figure, Han Xin whispered: "Marquis, there is no fraud in the Mei family's surrender."

"No, the Mei family and the South Vietnamese people are not of the same ethnic group. They are the descendants of King Goujian of Yue, the same as Dongou and Minyue. At least they are the descendants of the former Spring and Autumn Overlords. Compared with those cannibalistic South Vietnamese barbarians, they will naturally Choose our civilized country.”

Cao Shen shook his head, then looked at Han Xin and smiled: "Why, this is the strategy you proposed to the superior general to divide the South Vietnamese tribes. At this time, you still doubt it yourself?"

Han Xin smiled awkwardly.

He had previously proposed to Zhao Tuo to take advantage of the opportunity when the army was consolidating Minyue to send troops to South Vietnam. In order to take advantage of the Qin army's victory, they can win over the tribes in South Vietnam who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Jiao tribe and the Hu tribe, 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 was completed, Han Xin sent envoys to the South Vietnamese tribes such as the Buffalo Tribe, Wasp Tribe, and Yellow Dog Tribe, with the intention of recruiting.

As a result, all the envoys sent by the Qin Army fell on the ground, and what was returned to the military camp was either a smelly head or a piece of bloody human skin.

This is a misunderstanding in Han Xin's thinking.

Previously, the reason why Dongou and Minyue were able to successfully surrender to Qin was because these two Yue states were descendants of King Goujian of Yue. Their ancestors could even be traced back to the Miao descendants of Xia Yu, and they were innately connected to the Central Plains regime.

Therefore, when the Qin army went south to conquer, Minyue and Dongou defeated the Qin army, so they resisted. If they could not defeat the Qin army, they would surrender to Qin, and they did not have much resistance to joining the Central Plains.

The tribes in South Vietnam are different. They have an independent culture that has nothing to do with the Central Plains regime. They are natives of Lingnan and are known as the descendants of Buluo Tuo.

Even though many tribes in South Vietnam were oppressed by the Jiao Tribe and the Tiger Tribe, in their eyes, no matter how ferocious and terrifying the King of South Vietnam was, he was still one of their own, 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, last year Tu Sui attacked Xiou, who was also a descendant of Buluo Tuo, and killed a lot there, which made the South Vietnamese have a very bad impression of the Qin army.

The defeat of the Qin army in Xiou also made them look down upon these invaders from the Central Plains.

The combination of various factors made it impossible for the South Vietnamese tribe to accept the Qin army's recruitment.

Han Xin's strategy of differentiation and recruitment failed, which made his blood run cold.

The experienced Cao Shen saw another key point.

As the descendants of Buluotuo, the South Vietnamese tribes were difficult for the Qin army to recruit.

But what about the other tribes in the land of South Vietnam that do not belong to the descendants of Bulatuo?

For example, the Mui Clan Yue people are located a little further away near Beijiang, South Vietnam.

Cao Shen sent an envoy to the Mei clan near Beijiang via a detour, and today he received the allegiance of Mei Cai, the leader of the Mei clan.

…

A small town near Beijiang, South Vietnam.

As soon as Mei Cai returned to the city, a young man eagerly greeted him.

"Father, what's the response from Qin people?"

The boy's name is Mei Yuan, and he is fifteen this year.

Although he is young, he is as strong as an adult, has long arms, and possesses divine power. He is the number one warrior of the Mei clan.

When his father went to the Qin army camp in Dongjiang, Mei Wei was in charge of the remaining tribes.

Mei Cai smiled and said: "The conditions offered by the Qin people are very good. As long as my Mei family helps them conquer South Vietnam, they can live anywhere they want without suffering the bullying of the South Vietnamese. And the Qin general said, we Kill the South Vietnamese, and for every head you take, you can exchange them for cloth, grain, etc.!”

"Is there any reward for killing South Vietnamese?"

Mei Yi was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "That's great, I've had enough of the bullying from those South Vietnamese barbarians, and now with the backing of the Qin people, I can kill them with their heads all over the ground!"

Mei Cai nodded, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes.

They finally surrendered to Qin.

The Mui clan is not native to South Vietnam, but a branch of Yangyue living in the north. He used to live near Yugan in Ganland and was ruled by the Chu people.

Qin general Feng Wuze led his troops southward. Because the Qin army had a bad reputation in the Qin-Chu war, the Mei family did not want to surrender to the Qin people, so they simply moved their family across the mountains and went south, building a city on a small flat dam near Beijiang River in South Vietnam. ,reproduce.

After Mui moved here, she inevitably came into contact with the local South Vietnamese natives.

The two are not of the same tribe, but belong to different ethnic groups. Naturally, conflicts will arise and conflicts will break out.

Among the tribes in South Vietnam, the Huanggou tribe living in Beijiang often bullied the Mei clan.

They might steal Mei's rice, or snatch away Mei's women and children. In short, it's all kinds of bullying done by locals to foreign visitors.

Because Mei was worried about the South Vietnamese tribes behind the Yellow Dog tribe, she often swallowed her anger when encountering conflicts.

Because Mei Cai heard the story of the Bulou Kingdom who originally lived near the Dongjiang River. When outsiders offended the local natives, they were often massacred and the entire clan was wiped out.

The Mui family endured it, and they relied on their patience to take root in South Vietnam, but their resentment towards the South Vietnamese was growing day by day.

Qin general Cao Shen sent an envoy to recruit the Mei family, which naturally pierced Mei Cai's heart.

Mei Cai, who migrated from the north to the south, knew better than the South Vietnamese people who sat in the well and watched the sky how powerful the Qin State was.

This time, Zhao Tuo, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, has been famous for a long time.

"With Marquis Wu Gong leading the army, the Qin army will definitely win this battle. I, the Mei family, should take this opportunity to join the Qin camp and avenge the humiliation suffered in the past ten years!"

Mei Cai growled to his son: "You go and summon the warriors of my Mei family. This time, my Mei family will send three thousand troops to deal with these South Vietnamese barbarians together with the Qin people!"

"good!"

…

It was early autumn in the thirty-third year of Qin Shihuang.

Qin general Cao Shen led his army and the Mei family's Yue people to jointly attack the Yellow Dog tribe of South Vietnam, killing more than 2,000 South Vietnamese people, and the jungle was full of blood.

The King of Nanyue was furious when he heard this and summoned all the tribes in South Vietnam to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Mei Yue people and the Qin army.

I have to pick up a friend later, but I won’t have anything to do tonight. Will make up for it in three updates the day after tomorrow.
