Chapter 75 Zhu Yue
When Xiong Jing arrived in Xiangcheng, the Zhou army had been resting for two days. After the army decided to determine the strategy to directly take Ao Cang, the Zhou army would set out early on the fourth day and head to the Honggu blockade south of Daliang. The soldiers would land on the east bank of Honggu from a suitable place and drive away 50,000 Qin troops. Then there was a civil engineering operation, digging the Huanshui embankment, connecting the Honggu waterway and the Huanshui waterway.
The soldiers who participated in this battle had already trained this way to attack Ao Cang's elite soldiers. The elite soldiers were led by Deng Sui. Although they had two major battles, fortunately, there was no big loss in the number of soldiers. In addition to the elite soldiers, there were Chen Shi led by Chen Bu and Xiang Zhi. The soldiers of the two divisions had fought hard battles. Although rowing was not as good as the elite soldiers, the formation battle seemed to be stronger than the elite soldiers.
In addition to these three troops, the Yue army that came to serve the king at the beginning of the year. The troops of Ouyue, Minyue, Nanyue, Luoyue and Xiou all had boats. The difference is that Ouyue and Minyue came from the sea, and Nanyue, Luoyue and Xiou also came from the Xiangjiang River. Although they planned to unite with the Yue tribes in the south, this was a matter after the victory of the war. It was too early to talk about this matter. Since we met, we naturally had to meet and get familiar with each other first. So on the afternoon of this day, under the guidance of the Yue people, Lu Zhuo and Gao Zi, the Yue leaders came to pay their respects to Xiong Jing one by one.
"The king of Ou Yue, Zuo Zhuan, visited the King of Chu." A tattooed man without a crown came in and greeted Xiong Jing. He wore a treasure knife at his waist and was wearing a huge armor, but his clothes were a bit strange, either left or right, and he was simply no lapel. This was a piece of cloth, and he only dug a hole in the middle, and then put his head and neck in. This was the unique head-sleeved shirt of Yue people.
"No gift." Xiong Jing looked at Zhu An's head shirt. Isn't this a T-shirt?
"The king of Min Yue, Zuo Wuzhu, visited the King of Chu." Another Yue man stepped forward. He had no armor on his body and was not wearing a head-on dress, but similar to the clothes of the Central Plains. However, if you look closely, it was not clothes. At least there was only an apron under him. He also had no crowns and had a piece of black cloth messed up. However, his expression was much more arrogant than Zhu An. He looked at Xiong Jing with a rude look and looked at Xiong Jing several times.
"No gift." Xiong Jing could see the suspicion in Wu Zhu's eyes, so he simply asked, "Are you disagree with me?"
As the descendant of King Yue, Zuo Wuzhu would certainly speak elegant words. Seeing Xiong Jing asks him bluntly, he hurriedly bowed again and said, "I dare not."
Qin is a powerful country in the world. When Zuo Wuzhu thought of the Qin army burned by the fire, he was not convinced and dared not say he was dissatisfied. Xiong Jing seemed to know his thoughts and said, "I am not as brave as you. If you talk about personal bravery, I will be inferior to you; but if you talk about the power of a king, I will be better than you. In the country of Minyue, there are less than 50,000 households, less than 8,000 elite soldiers, and Ding Shao; boats and oars are the same as the former big wing, with only fifty hands; the army also loses to me, and the Chu army no longer uses copper soldiers, only huge iron."
Xiong Jing's words were very unhappy, but these are all facts, especially the three oars and large wings of the warship made the Yue people who were proud of the boats ashamed. The Chu State's boat army has developed to this point, and the Yue people are already sighing at the boats.
"Only the fighting spirit of the Yue soldiers is not inferior to that of the Chu army." The Zuo Zhu An and Zuo Wuzhu were extremely uncomfortable when Xiong Jing said that. Fortunately, Xiong Jing suppressed the Yue soldiers. "So I value the king of Yue."
After Xiong Jing finished speaking, Zuo Zhu An, and Zuo Wuzhu bowed, and the two hurriedly avoided the gifts. Then, the king of Nanyue was in the account.
The South China Sea is Nanyue, but the real Chu term in Nanyue should be Nanwu. After the defeat of King Wujiang of Yue, Duke Shi Yuzeng built a vassal city (Panyu) to establish a country, which was Nanwu. Duke Shi Yu originally wanted to join Wei to control Chu, but Wei was already weak and could only surrender to Chu.
"The king of Luoyue is good at visiting the King of Chu." Finally, I saw a Yue man dressed in a top and underwear. This was the king of Luoyue.
After the four Yue kings met, the two Yue people with tattoos and scars on their bodies, and their short hair and feet came up to meet again. "The Great Elder of Xiou Song visited the King of Chu. The Great Elder of the Thai clan Zhu visited the King of Chu."
It’s okay for Song, but there was a human head hanging on Zhu’s body, which was a little stinky. Both of them were talking Yue.
"That's..." The head had begun to rot, so there was no way to see the appearance, Xiong Jing was a little curious.
When Zhu saw Xiong Jing ask a question, he held up the head and whispered Yue, and was very proud. Gao Zi hurriedly said, "Report to the king, he said that this is the head of Zhao Shan, the general of the Qin army. Someone wants to buy it for a hundred gold coins, but he doesn't sell it. He is willing to offer this head to the king."
"Oh. Is it Zhao Shan who led 300 soldiers to intercept and kill?" Xiong Jing looked at Zhu a few times. For Yue people, tattoos are like crowned adults. This Zhu may have just grown up, with dark muscles under Guan's head shirt and a smile on her face.
"Yes," Gao Zi nodded. Among the many tribes in the south, the Thai people are just a small tribe that is unknown. They only offer more than ten ivory pieces a year. If he hadn't killed Zhao Shan, he would not have the right to fight with the King of Yue.
"I don't want the head of the Qin general, I just want the head of the Qin King Zhao Zheng." Xiong Jing was not angry and powerful, "One day, I will chop off his head with my own hands."
Headhunting is a custom of Yue people, and it is also a coming-of-age ceremony for Yue people. In addition to the coming-of-age ceremony, headhunting is also a manifestation of courage. Whoever hunts the most heads is the warrior of the tribe. Each clan has similar customs, without the awareness of killing and being killed, and is destined to be unable to survive in this world. When the King of Chu refused his gift, Zhu was a little discouraged. There was Luoyue in the south of the West Ou, and Ouluo in the south of Luoyue. These three are great powers. In addition to the great powers, there are many tribes, and it is extremely difficult for the Thai people to survive.
"King, Zhu invites him to the Yingdu Military Academy as a student." After Zhu learned that he was rejected, he spoke another Yue language, which Gao Zi translated.
"Can he hear Chu Yu?" The legitimate son of the tribe elder, who went to Yingdu to enroll in school, was a established strategy, and Xiong Jing was only worried that they would not understand Chu Yu.
"Master, he said he could understand Chu's words." Gao Zi nodded vigorously and said this.
"Since you can understand Chu Yu, and you are so brave, you have also cut off the head of the Qin general Zhao Shan, why can't you not a military academy?" Xiong Jing smiled. "After this battle, you can stay in Yingdu and wait for the military academy to open and enter the school."
When Xiong Jing said Zhu was happy, when the king of Yue wanted to speak, he said again: "If your legitimate son and minister can understand Chu's words, they will naturally be able to enter the Yingdu Military Academy. I have no intention of the south, but I will never allow the Qin people to occupy the south. Therefore, the military academy is open to the Yue tribes in the south, recruiting the Yue tribes, and enrolling the children of each tribe."
When you enter school to learn military tactics and combat skills, the kings of Yue are eager for, but what they are worried about is that they have learned it themselves and others have learned it. They cannot form advantages and cannot expand their territory. This is also a trouble. Wu Zhu said, "I ask the king to allow the children of Yue to enter the school of the sea boat."
"Haizhou School?" Haizhou School is an aviation school. Now all Yue students in the aviation school are from Yuejun, Kuaiji. Ouyue and Minyue did not send people to the school, and they were very jealous.
"King, the aviation school has nothing to do with military affairs, and it is all my Chu family. The children of Yue can enter the military academy." The doctor Lu Zhuo is from Yue Junkai, so he naturally doesn't want Ou Yue, and the children of Min Yue also enter the aviation academy.
"King, I am leading troops to help the king, but Yue Junkai did not allow me to pass through the border." Yue Junkai from Kuaiji was equivalent to being attached to the State of Chu, so Lu Zhuo said that the aviation school was all children of Chu. Zuo Zhuan and Zuo Wuzhu were angry and talked about the old story.
"King..." When Lu Zhuo was about to speak for Yue Jun again, Xiong Jing waved his sleeves and stopped him.
"I don't know that Zuokai will not let you pass through the border. I know that the previous month I ordered him to go to Yingdu to present this matter to me. I think he will go to Yingdu this month." Xiong Jing said: "I think that the Yue is not harmonious, and the tribes in the south are not harmonious. Why is this? The land is narrow! The tools are inferior! The skills are clumsy! The population is growing, and it is necessary to eat and wear, and it has to attack each other and seize the land.
Why do you do this? After this battle, I am willing to join forces with you and provide troops, armor, food and fodder to help you fight outside."
