Xiang Zhuang waits left and right.

It was not until five days later that Mei Juan arrived late.

This time, Mei Juan, a powerful man from Wuling, was actually worried about gains and losses. Unlike Xiang Zhuang, who was ambitious and determined to restore the country, he did not have enough confidence in defeating Qin again.

After Jingnan was beaten by Li Yuan's Qin army, Mei Juan's strength was greatly damaged and she had to shrink to Wuling, the old nest, to regain her energy. Fortunately, no heroes appeared in the Baiyue tribes in recent years, which gave Mei Juan a valuable opportunity to breathe. But it was this delay that made the Mei tribe look very stable, but in fact the situation was not optimistic.

South of the Five Ridges.

The connection between Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, and the northern powerful Qin became closer and closer, which made Mei Juan feel strongly uneasy. It was mixed with the two major forces of Nanyue and Northern Qin, and they were respectively hostile to them. In this case, once the two powerful forces truly united, Mei Juan had almost no ability to resist.

Where is the way out?

Should we just show goodwill to Qin like Zhao Tuo? Or should we fight and unite anti-Qin forces such as Wuzhu and Xiang Zhuang to try to defeat Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, and then block the Qin army heading south north of the river. The risk taken by this idea is too great, but the temptation brought is also particularly tempting.

Separation of Jiangnan.

It is much better than playing in Wuling.

Mei Juan thought about it, but was finally moved by temptation. In addition to his dream of becoming the king, he had fought a fierce battle with the Qin army, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. With this kind of grudge, Mei Juan dared not imagine. The Qin army would let him go after occupying Jiangnan.

In the city of Yuewang, Wuzhu, Xiangzhuang and Mei Juan conspired. They reached an agreement on jointly dealing with the Qin army and the Nanyue Kingdom. In order to enhance their strength, Xiangzhuang also agreed to disperse his soldiers to various Yue tribes to help them learn advanced tactics in the Central Plains. At the same time, they also allowed these Jiangdong children to learn from the Baiyue people how to kill their opponents in the jungle without knowing it.

Battle of the Jungle.

Xiangzhuang rushed to the Qin army and began to adapt to the humid and stuffy climate in the south early. For Xiangzhuang, Mei Juan and others, the jungle was their natural shelter, and for Li Yuan, who was determined to unify the country, after conquering the grassland, what he had to face was to conquer the jungle.

——.

Mid March.

The Qin army general Ding Gong led a Qin army of more than 3,000 people to head south from Kuaiji County, the former place of Yue Kingdom, trying to seize the important traffic pass between Yue and Fujian. As a result, Wuzhu, Xiangzhuang lured into the ridge road. Ding Gong failed to break through several times, and finally the entire army was wiped out in Siming Mountain.

Mr. Ding never returns.

Jiang Yu, who was stationed in Wu County, urgently ordered the Qin army's Zhou Yin and Huan Chu troops to search for it, but only found out that Gong Ding led his army into the hinterland of Xianxia Ridge, and then disappeared, and even the carrier pigeons used to report the news were missing.

Jiang Yu knew something was wrong. He was waiting for a hurry to write to Chang'an and informed the military information in the south. Suddenly, he received a report from the soldiers that an envoy from Fujian arrived in Kuaiji County and sent the head of the Qin army back to the head of the Qin army. He also attached a letter from Wuzhu.

In this letter, Wu Zhu first showed off his achievements in defeating Ding Gong and Qin army. At the same time, he regarded himself as King Yue, and included Mei Juan, Wu Rui, Xiang Zhuang, Zhao Tuo and other southern forces in his name. He claimed to have 100,000 generals and soldiers, and put on a pose that was on par with Li Yuan. Wu Zhu said arrogantly: "King Wu lives in the north of the river, and he occupies the south of the river, and looks across the river from each other, and the world will be peaceful."

After reading the letter, Jiang Yu was furious.

Wu Zhu only won a small victory, but was so rampant. With his strength, he still wanted to divide the river across the river. He was really not afraid of the strong wind breaking his tongue.

Not to mention that Li Yuan refused, like Zhao Tuo and Wu Rui, the princes who had been independent in the morning, were there any one who was not more qualified than him, Wu Zhu?

After a while of anger, Jiang Yu calmed down and picked up the letter that used unknown animal skin as raw material and bright red blood as ink, and read it carefully from beginning to end. Then, he sat down calmly and began to write it neatly on the silk book.

Jiang Yu wanted to report these military information in Jiangdong to Li Yuan. If other generals were replaced by Jiangdong, after reading Wuzhu's letter of challenge, he would be afraid that he would immediately dispatch troops and lead his troops to attack Fujian. However, Jiang Yu was not the case. He was very loyal and found something unusual between Wuzhu's lines.

With Wuzhu's strength, it is not difficult to annihilate the 3,000 Ding Gong's men. If he faces the possible revenge of the Qin army independently, with the power of the Fujian and Yue, he would never be able to resist for a long time. Therefore, in the letter, Wuzhu drew a large flag and drew the southern princes one by one, including the King of Changsha Wu Rui, King of Nanyue Zhao Tuo, and other southern princes one by one into this big bet.

If the Qin generals directly launched the battle of crossing the river without any distinction, the first thing they were to bear was not his Wuzhu, but Changsha King Wu Rui, and then Wuling Hou Meijuan. If these two forces fight with the Qin army first, the situation in the south would form a situation where all local powers jointly fight against the invasion of the Qin people.

In this way, Wu Zhu hid behind him, and with the advantageous terrain of Fujian, he could reap the benefits of the fisherman, and when both sides were exhausted, he would come out to clean up the old mountains and rivers. At that time, all the sects in the south had been destroyed, and only he Wu Zhu had the greatest strength.

——.

The anti-Qin forces in the south accelerated their integration.

This made Li Yuan, who received Jiang Yu's letter, come back to his senses from appeasement of the struggles between the court. Internal affairs are the foundation of stability, and military elimination of rebellious forces is the prerequisite for the establishment of Qin.

Compared with the northern border where heavy troops are gathered, Qin State is currently weak in the south. Except for Jiang Yu's unit in Jiangdong, there are only about 20,000 people, Feng Xuan's unit in Jingnan, and about 6,000 people. This power is not enough to make the Baiyue people bow down, nor can it make the decision of Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, who was shaken in independence and surrender.

The military focus of the Qin Dynasty.

It's time to move south.

If we want to not repeat the situation when hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were dragged to death by Baiyue people in the deep jungle and mountains, the Qin army must not only have a clear understanding of the various forces in the south under strong military oppression.

Who is the opponent that must be hit?

Who can win over? Who can keep it neutral for the time being so that the Qin army in the Southern Expedition avoids the dilemma of too many opponents? At the same time, who can take on the role of the Southern Expedition Army and which generals can play a role in the Southern Expedition War? These urgently needed to be known military information needs to be summarized from all directions.

In the palace of King Shenwu.
