Chapter 423 Conquering South Vietnam(1/2)
Xu Fu's ship was getting closer and closer to the coast, and the people on the shore became clearer and clearer.
The sailors found that these people had strange patterns on their faces and messy hair on their heads.
These people were constantly shouting at them, dancing and roaring like beasts in their throats.
No matter from any perspective, these savages appear to be fierce.
Some sailors couldn't help but pull the bows all over.
Xu Fu cleared his throat and said to the sailors: "The exiled immortal has an order. We must be convinced by virtue. We must first be courtesy and then soldiers. Do you understand?"
The sailors responded and put down their bows full.
However, there are a few of them that are smarter, and I am a little puzzled: Does the banished immortal have this order? When we were in Japan, we always had the first troops and then the courtesy.
Suddenly, a sailor said to Xu Fu: "Sir, I see these people have very different appearances from those of the Japanese. We may not have returned to Japan."
Xu Fu looked at him speechlessly: "Did you always think we have returned to Japan? There is no such a coincidence in the world. A gust of wind blew us back the same way."
Everyone laughed. The sailor lowered his head awkwardly.
As a result, the moment he lowered his head, a sharp arrow flew over his scalp. A buzzing sound was nailed to the wooden board behind him, buzzing.
The sailor was stunned for a moment, then plopped on the boat and shouted loudly: "There is a cold arrow."
People on the boat were looking for cover.
Xu Fu hid behind a pillar and looked into the distance. He saw the savages shooting at them.
A sailor asked, "Mr. Xu, are we still polite first and then soldiers?"
Xu Fu cursed: "You're so polite, and shoot them for me. The crossbowman is ready to shoot arrows, and the others use the cover of arrows to quickly seize the beach."
Everyone responded.
Seeing that the ship was about to dock, the crossbowman began to shoot arrows.
According to Xu Fu's plan, after the arrows were fired on the boat, those savages would definitely have to hide from them, and would definitely be unable to harass the sailors who were landing.
But what he didn't expect was that these vicious savages, after seeing the arrows, actually scattered and turned around and ran away.
Xu Fu was confused: He was so weak in combat, but he dared to provoke me? I really don’t know how much he weighs.
So all the sailors rushed to the shore, trying to chase the savages. But the savages were very clever and got into the dense forest barefoot and soon they could no longer find anyone.
In the end, after spending the boss's efforts, the sailors caught a savage with arrows in the calf.
Xu Fu straightened his clothes and took it out to the court to ask the case, and asked majesticly: "Who is you? Where is this place?"
The savage said something terrible, but none of the people present could understand.
Xu Fu was a little helpless and didn't know where he was. How did he return to Daqin?
At this time, a sailor came over cheering and said, "Sir, there are people from Chu here."
Xu Fu was shocked, then he was happy and asked, "Where is the Chu people?"
The sailor handed over an arrow: "The arrow they used just now was the arrow of the Chu people."
This sailor used to be a servant at the home of a powerful Chu land, and once followed his master to the battlefield, so he knew this kind of arrow.
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "You can find Chu arrows here, at least it means that they are not far from Daqin."
He grabbed the arrow and asked the savage, "Where did this thing come from?"
The savage is a big mess again, but no one can understand it.
Xu Fu was a little impatient and drew his sword and pointed at the savage: "Are you deliberately pretending to be speechless?"
The savage was almost scared and kept gestured with both hands.
A sailor next to him looked at him for a long time, then hesitated and said, "Sir, judging from his meaning, it seems that he wants to take us to find the master of the arrow."
Xu Fu pointed at the arrow.
The savage nodded repeatedly and pointed in a direction.
Xu Fu said to the sailor: "Clog his mouth and let him lead the way."
The reason why he blocked the savage's mouth was because no one understood his language. Who knew if he would call a secret code with his accomplices on the way?
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Fu, with the sailors, followed the savage into a dense forest.
There are towering trees everywhere here. It is clearly in the daytime, but because of the obstruction of leaves, it is gloomy and like dusk.
The sailors took out their habit of marching, with outposts, left and right wings... and walked carefully every step.
An hour later, the front suddenly became clear, and it turned out that there was a river in this dense forest.
The valley is a large piece of flat land, and above it, there are many simple thatched houses.
Some men are peeling wild animals, and some women are collecting wild fruits.
Xu Fu took out his telescope and looked at it. He suddenly found that the man who was cleaning the wild beast was holding a sharp sword in his hand. This kind of sword was probably only available to the nobles of Chu.
Now the savage is clumsyly cleaning up the internal organs of a fish with his sword, which is so funny.
Xu Fu laughed: "It's so weird."
He looked at the sailors around him: "Take them down and you will survive. But... if they want to hurt others, kill them," he said.
The sailors agreed, and some people quietly surrounded the valley, while others rushed in line.
The savages in the valley were in chaos. They had no fighting spirit and surrendered quickly.
Xu Fu came over and said loudly: "Among you, does anyone understand the Central Plains language?"
No one answered.
Xu Fu repeated it again.
Finally, someone said carefully: "I understand it later."
Xu Fu looked over curiously and found that this person was a little different from the savages around him.
Although his clothes were relatively tattered, they were at least in shape. There were no patterns on his face and his hair was barely tied up.
Xu Fu asked, "Who are you?"
The man was silent for a moment, and suddenly showed a resolute look of death: "Xiong Hai."
Xu Fu said in wonder: "Xiong Hai? I haven't heard of it."
Xiong Hai was stunned for a moment, then said, "My eighth generation ancestor is the King of Chu."
Xu Fu almost burst into laughter: "My one hundred generations of ancestors is still Yao and Shun. The eighth generations of ancestors have a very thin bloodline? Judging from your outfit, I'm afraid you are not a legitimate son, right?"
Xiong Hai sighed and lowered his head embarrassedly.
Xu Fu guessed it right. Xiong Hai is indeed not a legitimate son. He was born in the seventh generation, and by his generation, he was just a small rich man.
Although such a rich man will not be frozen or hungry at home, he still has to live a careful life, so he is not a person in Chu. Basically, no one knows him after leaving the village.
But Xiong Hai always remembered that he was a descendant of the King of Chu. Whenever he was frustrated, he would take out his identity and tell him that he was a descendant of the royal family and had noble blood...
Later, the capital of Chu was captured, and the Qin soldiers rushed in and occupied Chu. Xiong Hai knew that his great Chu was gone.
He had no ability to lead troops to fight, nor had the courage to join the army to kill the enemy. After thinking about it, he simply left Chu and headed south to Nanyue.
With the intention of not eating Zhou Mi, I vowed that I would never set foot on the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
In fact, there were many people who came to Nanyue that day. However, most of them had noble identities and had some retainers.
After the people arrived, they quickly conquered the nearby tribes. As for Xiong Hai, he was alone. Not to mention conquering the tribes, it would be better if he was not killed.
He didn't want to be driven by his fellow countrymen like mountain kings, so he hid in Tibet all day long. By chance, he found this most backward tribe. Other tribes had already farmed and weaved cloth, and this tribe was still hunting and gathering.
It is precisely because they were behind, that they did not drive Xiong Hai away. Because Xiong Hai was a man after all, maybe he could help while hunting.
Xiong Hai took out the sword passed down from his ancestors and gained the favor of the tribe. He also took out the arrows he picked up from the battlefield and gave them to the savages here, gaining the trust of the savages.
Later, he stayed in this tribe.
After hearing this, Xu Fu suddenly realized: "It turned out that we were blown to Nanyue by a gust of wind. It seems that we can go north from here and return to Daqin."
After hearing this, Xiong Hai shook his head and said to Xu Fu: "Although here is collectively called Nanyue, there are many tribes. The territory of those tribes is intertwined. If you pass by them, you will definitely be attacked. Therefore... walking north is a dead end."
Xu Fu asked: "How many people are there in those tribes?"
Xiong Hai thought for a while and said, "The big one is one or two thousand people, and the small one is two or three hundred people."
Xu Fu smiled: "Even a large tribe with one or two thousand people, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, is only hundreds of people. These hundreds of people are still mobs. I have hundreds of elite soldiers, are I still afraid that I can't defeat them?"
Xiong Hai was silent and then whispered: "Although your soldiers are powerful, they are too few. Once these hundreds of tribes unite and share the same hatred of the enemy, you will not be able to escape."
Xu Fu said: "Then don't let them unite. These tribes must have conflicts with each other, right?"
Xiong Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "They often attacked each other."
Xu Fu said: "That's right. I just have to form an alliance with one side, defeat the other side, and then use the same trick again..."
Xiong Hai said with some doubts: "This is extremely complicated. Can it be done?"
Xu Fu said with a smile: "Yes, you must."
