The terrain of Fujian and Vietnam.

It is high in the northwest and low in the southeast.

In the area close to Nanyue, there is the remnant of Wuling. Going to the southeast is the Meiling area. This is the hometown of the Mei family of the Baiyue tribe and the hometown of Mei Juan, a general who was granted a title of marquis in the early Han Dynasty. After Meiling, there is another area.

To the southeast is Longchuan City, an important town in the east of the Nanyue Kingdom. This city is where the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo started his family.

Due to the protection of many mountains, the Minyue area, which has relatively closed land access, has become an ideal hiding place for the descendants of the Yue Kingdom. After several generations of management, the strength of the Minyue Kingdom, although not as good as that of South Vietnam, is still

The most powerful of the Baiyue tribes, its strength is even greater than that of Meijuan in Wuling.

The ninth day of February.

After a long march, Xiangzhuang's remnants of defeated troops arrived at Yuewang City like a group of beggars with extremely hungry eyes.

This city, located in the hinterland of the Wuyi Mountains, is not large in scale, with a radius of only 350 feet. There are only two stone roads leading back and forth in the city. At the city gate, Xiang Zhuang and others who were about to enter the city were stopped by the Minyue King Wu Zhu.

The tribesmen blocked him and prevented him from entering. Even after Xiang Zhuang angrily revealed his identity, the Yue soldiers guarding him still refused to let him go.

The stalemate lasted until noon. From the Bamboo Tower Palace in the city, Wu Zhu ordered Xiang Zhuang to enter the city alone, while the rest of Xiang Chu's troops had to be stationed outside the city. This episode made Xiang Zhuang's

The subordinates couldn't help but look angry.

"General, is the King of Yue trying to humiliate my Chu warriors? If you don't want to cooperate, why send someone to ask me to come?" A follower beside Xiang Zhuang said angrily.

"Everyone, please be quiet. This time we are asking the King of Yue, not him asking us. If we offend the Yue people, we can't even guarantee food, so what else can we talk about?" Xiang Zhuang shook his head.

After experiencing repeated failures and facing the crisis of fighting alone, Xiang Zhuang has long lost his arrogant attitude. Now, he only thinks about how to lead this team down and how not to be wiped out by the pursuing Qin army.

In the city of the King of Yue.

The tallest building is a three-story bamboo building. Wuzhu's palace is inside the bamboo building. As soon as Xiang Zhuang entered the bamboo building, his eyes were blinded by the bright light of the jewelry inside.

Since the Chu Kingdom destroyed Yue, Wu Zhu's ancestors have immigrated to Fujian for more than four generations, and the jewelry and rare treasures collected by the Min Yue kings in the past dynasties have been placed in the house. This makes the bamboo house look inconspicuous from the outside, but inside

It is magnificent and makes people feel breathless.

"Haha, General Xiangzhuang, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please take a seat quickly. How is my place? How does it compare to Pengcheng, the overlord of the past?" Wu Zhu's voice was very strange, with a thick Yue accent. Fortunately, he said

Jiangdong, where Xiang Zhuang was born, is not far away, and he can still listen to debates.

"Wuzhu. This shallow guy can actually compete with the Overlord——!" Xiang Zhuang snorted in his heart. After a pause, he strode towards the strong man with colorful feathers in front of him with a big smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, the general is able to successfully cross the border this time, thanks to the guide sent by your Majesty. Otherwise, even with thousands of troops and horses, they will not be able to pass through the Xianxia Pass -!"

"Haha, I like to hear this. There is a saying among you northerners in Fujian and Yue: One man can guard the gate, and ten thousand men can't open it. When General Xiang gets here, there is no need to worry about the Qin barbarians coming after him. Of course, if they dare

"Come on, let's kill one by one, and kill one by one. If tens of thousands of people come, then we will do the same as Mei Hou did when he attacked the Qin army, and we will kill them all." Wu Zhu was so proud.

Full of heart, he smiled.

Xiangzhuang has a great king in his mouth, which makes Wu Zhu very proud.

"Marquis Mei has arrived. I don't know where he is. Can you introduce me to him?" Xiang Zhuang said in surprise.

In this alliance, Wu Zhu was the initiator, Mei Juan and Xiang Zhuang were the participants, and in Xiang Zhuang's heart, Mei Juan was much more important than Wu Zhu. The reason is that Mei Juan was attacked by Li Yuan.

, an example of being able to retreat calmly.

Over the years, the princes of Guandong have been repeatedly defeated in confrontations with the Qin army. I don’t know when, but the results of the battle with Li Yuan have gradually become the basis for measuring the strength of various forces aiming to fight against Qin. Mei Juan was defeated in the battle of Jingnan

, although he was defeated, he still managed to preserve the strength of the Baiyue clan. From this point of view, Mei Juan's personal ability should not be underestimated.

To fight against the powerful Qin, Xiang Zhuang not only needs soldiers, but also like-minded friends, and Mei Juan is Xiang Zhuang's last ally and partner.

"Haha, General Xiang is anxious. Meihou has already set off from Wuling. It will take three or four days to get here. General Xiang will settle down and rest for now, letting the soldiers have a good rest and take a look at the customs of our Dayue people. However,

, there is a sentence

The king must make it clear in advance. If any warrior falls in love with a girl from my Dayue tribe, he must join our Yue tribe, and his children and grandchildren will be my Dayue tribe. When the time comes, General Xiang will have nothing else to do.

Thoughts." Wu Zhu laughed and said.

In the land of Fujian and Yue, transportation is inconvenient.

It is not easy for tribes to intermarry with each other, and multiple incest marriages in a relatively closed environment will inevitably lead to the degradation of the human race. Although Wu Zhu does not have scientific knowledge on this point, he has passed it down from generation to generation.

The facts that came down made him understand that only by introducing foreign tribes can their tribe grow stronger and develop.

Xiang Zhuang's face darkened and he said after a while: "Your Majesty, you are joking. I am extremely grateful to your Majesty for taking these people in Xiang's care. As for future generations, that is a matter for future generations and has nothing to do with the major matters we are discussing. Just now,

I heard your Majesty say that Marquis Mei is about to arrive, and I ask Your Majesty to let you know when he comes."

"Of course. Come, take General Xiang to the station to rest. Don't forget to send two women to wait on you." Wu Zhu laughed proudly and said.

Xiang Zhuang closed his mouth tightly and retreated without saying a word. Wu Zhu's thoughts made him feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly. But now that he is living under someone else's roof, if he falls out with Yue people, he will be the only one who suffers.

The current plan is to wait until Mei Juan arrives to see if there is any way to check and balance Wu Zhu.

Big and small, strong and weak.

In different situations, there are different changes.

The once powerful Chu State now only has Xiang Zhuang as a remnant. The Minyue tribe, which once seemed very weak, is now someone Xiang Zhuang has to rely on. This gap in strength makes Xiang Zhuang feel uncomfortable.

There was an indescribable feeling of suffocation and boredom, and sometimes he thought about giving up, but every time he recalled the grand scene of the generals of the Western Chu State gathering together, thousands of troops, and the Xiang family's infinite glory, Xiang Zhuang was determined again.
