Four hundred and twentieth chapters survive in desperation

The war is in desperate situation.

There were strong enemies in front and behind, and the Qin delegation was silent. Whether it was the followers around Lu Jia or the Qin generals who were responsible for protection, in addition to despair, in their eyes, there was also anger at the shameless deception of the South Vietnamese country.

Yang Yu stared at Lu Jia bit his finger and wrote a bloody letter on his clothes.

"Although Jia was forced to surrender to Qin, he was very proud of the Qin envoy--!" Lu Jia said word by word, his fingers trembled slightly on his clothes, and it was obvious that he was in a very uneasy mood.

"Secretary Yang——!" Time was tight, and Lu Jia hurriedly wrote, and was about to hand it over to Yang Yu, but Yang Yu threw himself on one knee and said loudly: "Doctor Lu, I will not be able to bear this bloody clothes. In today's battle, even if I, Yang Yu, dies, will die in front of you first. My hero of the Qin Dynasty has never had a precedent for escaping in the face of battle. I have never had any before, and there will be no one now."

After Yang Yu said that, he suddenly stood up, raised the iron sword high, and shouted: "Brothers, do you still remember what King Wu said in Hetao? The warriors of the Qin Dynasty would rather fall to the sky than bow their heads. The men of the Qin Dynasty would rather shed their blood than protect the peace of their homes. Now, it is time for us to fight. Draw your sword, hold your halberd, and kill!"

"Kill the barbarians, kill the barbarians!" The eight hundred Qin soldiers shouted in grief and anger, and the shouts in despair resounded throughout this strange forest in the south.

"Random Old Qin, let me regain my world, and my blood will not flow dry, and I will never stop fighting!"

"There is the Great Qin in the west, as if the sun is rising. ——, Qin has sharp soldiers, who will compete for power!" The desolate voice echoed in Yangshan Pass for a while. The pursuit of the South Vietnamese soldiers gradually stopped amid the strange and familiar battle songs in this foreign land.

"Da Qin, Da Qin!"

"Catch up quickly. Have you seen it? If you kill these Qin dogs in front of you, you will make great contributions, be promoted and become rich, and enjoy wealth-!" Lu Tai shouted with a ferocious expression. Lu Jia and Yang Yu were right in front of you, and the opportunity to make contributions has finally come.

Glory and wealth.

These four words are all for Lu Tai.

But for others, it may not be the most important thing, especially those wanderers who have been wandering in a foreign land for many years. What they desire more is to be able to return to their hometowns, see their relatives, wives and children again, and be able to kneel down on their knees on their deceased parents' graves and cry happily.

The South Vietnamese soldiers were getting slower and slower. Once upon a time, they were wearing the same color armored clothes, holding swords in one hand and cuffs in the other, shouting the battle songs of the Qin Dynasty, and rushing on the battlefield.

"You cowards, hurry up and rush up." Lu Tai raised his whip high and beat the slow soldiers with an venting look.

"Lu Thief, who do you think is a coward?" Before Lu Tai finished speaking, a burly general in the South Vietnamese army stepped out with great strides. Behind him, five or six military marquises and low-level generals led by the first-level team followed closely.

"Wang Changgong, what do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?" Lu Tai shouted in surprise.

With the recommendation of Lu Jia, Lu Tai was just appointed as the county magistrate of Nanhai County by Zhao Tuo. It was the time when he was in high spirits. His outstanding identity made Lu Tai, who had suffered a lot, feel proud and refreshing.

However, once a person succeeds, he is often easily obsessed with his body.

Lu Tai didn't think that the South Vietnamese soldiers under his command were just temporarily stripping him to command, and there were almost no soldiers who were truly impressed by him from the bottom of his heart. More importantly, the backbone of the South Vietnamese soldiers was mostly composed of the Southern Qin army that came from the north. Although many of these people had settled in Lingnan, there were also many of them who insisted on their hearts towards Qin.

Wang Changgong.

Nanyue Military Captain.

Born in Linxia County, Guan, and at the age of 42, he was one of the first generals to come to the south to follow the National Guard Tu Sui. According to his qualifications, the position of the lieutenant was a bit low. This was not a problem with Wang Changgong's ability, but he followed the wrong person.

In the southern army of Qin, the three generals who commanded the army were Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo. Fortunately and unfortunately, Wang Changgong was Tu Sui's confidant. When Tu Sui was in power, Wang Changgong was still young and could only stay with Tu Sui for training. When he had enough qualifications, Tu Sui, the big backer behind him fell.

After Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo took office one after another. Confidants like Wang Changgong, such as Wang Changgong, would naturally not be reused. This time, it was also urgent to follow the power. If it were not for Lu Jia, Yang Yu would have to act quickly, so Zhao Tuo had to use Wang Changgong's army nearby, who was resting outside Panyu City.

Hearing Lu Tai's scolding, a burly man showed a bit of sarcasm on his cold and dark face, saying, "So what about treason? My Wang Changgong was originally a Qin man, and committing himself to Nanyue was just a temporary solution. Now that the Qin Dynasty is strong and King Wu is wise. If we are still stubborn, will we accompany Zhao Tuo to be defeated?"

Those who know practice are heroes.

Wang Changgong was not optimistic about Zhao Tuo. In addition to his past grievances, he also had a clear understanding of the productivity and economic development of the Central Plains and Lingnan. No matter how Lingnan develops, it cannot surpass the Central Plains. With the current momentum of Qin's unification of the world, as long as there is no accident, it will be a matter of time before Lingnan unification is possible.

Instead of being tied to a sunken ship by Zhao Tuo, it would be better to defect to Qin early. In that case, you might have some opportunities to make contributions in the battle to pacify Lingnan. Of course, if the Qin army wants to conquer the distant foreign states south of Xiangjun, Wang Changgong and his brothers will have more opportunities.

Lu Tai was furious and shouted to ask his personal soldiers to take down Wang Changgong. He could not see the fruit of victory in front of him, but was destroyed by a group of insignificant soldiers.

Within the South Vietnamese army, they fought against each other in front of the Qin delegation. This incident made Lu Jia and Yang Yu stunned for a moment. Fortunately, in just a while, Lu Jia came to his senses first and shouted to Yang Yu urgently: "Captain Yang, go and help those people." After hearing Lu Jia's reminder, Yang Yu, who woke up from the huge gap, finally slapped his chest and shouted and led his personal soldiers to rush towards Lu Tai.

When dealing with a Wang Changgong, Lu Tai asked himself that he could still deal with it. After all, the ones who really had the courage to stand up in the South Vietnamese army were just some of Wang Changgong's hard-core brothers, while more people were waiting and watching. But now Yang Yu and his group of tigers pounced over, Lu Tai couldn't resist even if he had three heads and six arms.

After trying his best to stop it for a while, Lu Tai finally lost. He finally struggled from the dangerous situation of death, and still had too many expectations for his future. Therefore, he didn't want to die in Yangshanguan just like this. He had to live, and as long as he lived, he would have a chance to take revenge in the future.

Lu Tai's army was defeated.

The Xiou people, who witnessed the turmoil of friendly troops and were killed by the Qin army, were frightened on the pass. The Qin army and the South Vietnamese army had more weapons than the Ou people. In terms of the number of troops, the number of troops merged with more than 3,000 generals from Wang Changgong's troops, the Qin delegation suddenly changed from a weak small force to a critical attack force with considerable combat effectiveness.

After measuring the gains and losses, the people of Xiou fled without fighting. For them, even if they worked for Zhao Tuo, they had to find a target that they could bully. The mixed troops of the Qin delegation in front of them were obviously not suitable targets.

Qin's missions survived in a desperate situation.

After occupying Yangshan Pass, Yang Yu and Wang Changgong went westwards as if they were unstoppable, and they defeated the guards of the South Vietnam who were blocking the front and finally arrived in Cangwu smoothly at the end of June.

Lu Jia and others, who thought that Zhao Guang, the King of Cangwu, would be on guard, unexpectedly discovered that Zhao Guang not only did not block the waterway and set up checkpoints, but instead opened the waterway and escorted Lu Jia and others out of Guilin County. On the occasion of leaving, Zhao Guang said meaningfully to Lu Jia.

"If one day, Guang is in Guilin, can he come north?" Zhao Guang's words revealed his deep worries and disappointments about the current situation.

As Zhao Tuo's younger brother, he was deeply grateful to his elder brother. Zhao Guang could not act like he was going to join Qin on the surface, but in private, Zhao Guang hoped to use his actions to express some kindness to Qin and leave a way out for himself in the future.

Lu Jia had a gloomy face and bowed to Zhao Guang who was seeing him off without saying anything. At this time, there were too many people and he could not change his words as soon as he said it. Therefore, it would be better not to say anything. After this thrilling mission, Zhao Tuo's ambition was completely exposed.

The previous alliance with Xin Qin and hypocritically sent envoys to Qin to contribute gifts. Behind all these conspiracies was just to cover up his ambitious heart to become Emperor Wu of Lingnan. Lu Tai was just a chess piece, and his lobbying was just a reference for Zhao Tuo, and it could not change his most fundamental persistence.

At the peak of power.

There is always only one person standing, not two or more.

After tasting the fruits of glory brought by power, how could Zhao Tuo be willing to hand over the Lingnan hegemony that he had finally established to the new Qin State?

"Li Yuan is just Li Si's illegitimate son. If it weren't for fate, if I, Zhao Tuo, hadn't participated, how could the Qin world be named Li?"

Zhao Tuo's mentality became increasingly unbalanced as the New Qin became stronger and stronger. If Lu Jia came to negotiate an alliance, he still held equal ally brotherly relations, now, even if Lu Jia didn't say it, Zhao Tuo also understood that with his strength in Nanyue Kingdom, Li Yuan could no longer regard him as his brother.

However, the situation in the Nanyue Kingdom is different from the Meiyue people in Wuling, Xiou people in Xiangjun, and the descendants of the Yue King in Fujian. Zhao Tuo, a northerner, was able to gain a foothold in Lingnan because of the more than 300,000 Qin soldiers stranded in the south. Among these soldiers, some were loyal to Zhao Tuo and some were content with the situation, but there were also a considerable number of generals and soldiers who had always been in the Qin Dynasty and had never changed.

To support those who are loyal to themselves, win over the middlemen, and attack dissident forces, over the years, Zhao Tuo has gradually consolidated the foundation of Lingnan. Most of the dissidents like Wang Changgong have been marginalized. At the same time, Zhao Tuo's diplomatic kindness towards Qin State almost blinded everyone. If it weren't for the Qin army's defeat, Lu Jia came with Li Yuan's questioning, Zhao Tuo's delay strategy would have continued.
