Chapter 261 Settling the South
Chapter 261 Stand the South
Where did Sima Liang go?
This question was soon answered with Sima Liang's arrival.
He actually went to Panyu City, Nanyue Kingdom.
Panyu is the capital of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue. The reason why Sima Liang went there was because he sent an envoy of reconciliation from Nanyue not long ago. Faced with the surging tide of return and the increasingly powerful Qin State, and facing the invincible power of the Qin army on the battlefield, Zhao Tuo's confidence in independence was shaken!
If the South Vietnam issue can be resolved peacefully, it will definitely be a good thing with great merit. To start a war with the soldiers of the Southern Qin Army who were once brothers of the Qin army, not only Fu Ge was unwilling to do this, but even the vast number of soldiers in the Qin army also opposed such compatriots in their hearts.
In order to show enough sincerity, after the assassination came to an end, Sima Liang, the second-ranked figure of Qin, led a special mission of thirty-seven people, passed through Bashu and Yelang to Panyu. Needless to say, the negotiation process would not be easy.
"Sima, tell me quickly, how can Zhao Tuo reply?"
"Ship Fu, don't be anxious, wait until I drink a sip of water and then talk about it in detail!" Although Sima Liang was exhausted, his eyes were full of energy.
"Come here, please give Sima quickly, no, Lord Wei Wei will get water!"
On the side, Han Xin, who was moved by the deep friendship between Fu Ge and Sima Liang, smiled and ordered.
After a 'gudonggudong' was poured hard, Sima Liang, who was dripping with pleasure, wiped his mouth and smiled: "Ship Fu, General, Military Advisor, fortunately, this trip to Panyu has fulfilled his fate. Zhao Tuo finally agreed to the conditions we proposed!"
"This is what you said!" After hearing Sima Liang say this, Han Xin and Zhang Liangjia's eyes shone and they were extremely excited.
Unlike the princes who rebelled in Guandong, Nanyue, Zhao Tuo and his subordinates, who were born in the Qin Southern Army, had complex feelings for Qin. On the one hand, they hoped that Qin could pacify the princes in Guandong, so that they, soldiers who were far away from their hometown, would have the opportunity to return to their hometown; on the other hand, they were worried about the powerful Qin State, afraid that Qin State would hate their fault for not obeying orders, so they would send troops to encircle and suppress them and regard them as rebellious forces to capture them.
"It is related to the national plan, how dare I talk nonsense? Zhao Tuo's Prime Minister Lu Jia has come with me, and now he is in the inn!" Sima Liang said with a smile.
"Sima, tell me carefully about the surrender this time!"
"Well, Shuai Fu, I really have to thank this Lu Jia-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sima Liang sorted out his chaotic thoughts and then told Fu Ge and others about his journey on the mission.
Zhao Tuo sent envoys to Xianyang after hearing the Qin army defeating King Liu Bang of Han. His original intention was to see how powerful Qin was to be, and that it could actually wipe out Liu Bang's tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop. If Qin really had the strength to sweep Liuhe and sweep the Eight Desolates, Zhao Tuo would not think about his dream of becoming a king in one corner.
The envoys of the South Vietnamese were quite shocked by what they saw and heard in Xianyang. Qin was no longer the same as before as he was oppressed by the cruel laws of strict orders and laws. Now the new Qin is full of vitality and is in a mess. Under the effective management of effective officials at all levels, this country is developing forward with an unprecedented rapid attitude. If it continues to develop at this speed, Qin will soon become an extremely powerful country.
What are the results of going against the current?
Of course, Zhao Tuo knew that the reason why he followed Ren Xiao’s opinion and blocked the north-south passage and rose up to relied on his own was that he saw that the Qin State under Qin II had fallen apart and his life would not last long!
And now, facing a strong Xin Qin, he must make another decision.
Should we continue to establish ourselves as kings, compete with Qin, or to retake under the black banner of Qin and become a generation of heroes who will grow up with the growth of the new Qin!
Choice is difficult.
After all, the status differences between one prince and another county official are too much different!
Although the gap in strength has left Zhao Tuo no longer a choice, he still wants to discuss the conditions with Qin State. His idea is understandable. Just like the mainland and Taiwan in later generations, the power comparison has been seriously tilted. What the A-Bian regime can strive for is to increase its value as much as possible in order to gain the greatest benefit for itself.
After Sima Liang arrived in Panyu, Zhao Tuo was very indifferent at the beginning, as if he was disdainful of the strength of Qin. He even sent soldiers to surround the inn and put on the idea of putting Sima Liang and others under house arrest. However, who was Sima Liang? Soon he found helpers from the important officials of Nanyue, Prime Minister Lu Jia and Zhao Tuo. As long as he could handle this person, Zhao Tuo without minions would not be afraid.
Lu Jia, when Zhao Tuo first led Nanyue, this man was a hard-core independent faction. However, his talent was considered a brilliant among the ministers of Nanyue. It is natural for such a person to be arrogant. How could Lu Jia be willing to submit to becoming an aide under the princes in this wilderness of Nanyue?
"Prime Minister Lu, Fu from Xianyang has long admired your talent. Before Liang came, Fu asked me to pass it on to you a soap book. Please check it out!"
When he took Fu Ge's passionate invitation letter written by someone else's knife from Sima Liang, Lu Jia was so excited that he could not control himself. He never expected that he had no way to serve the country and had no choice but to defect to the remote South Vietnam to survive, he would be appreciated by the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. The meaning of this letter was quite clear, which was to invite him to work in Xianyang.
After arriving in Xianyang, the sky was so high that the birds could fly, and all the learnings in his heart could be used. This temptation was too great for Lu Jia, which made him irresistible.
What do those who are ministers yearn for?
I just hope that I can get the lord's lord's lord's lord's lord. Now, with Fu Ge's enthusiastic invitation, Lu Jia will certainly not stand idly by like before, and even help Zhao Tuo fight against Qin.
After cutting off Lu Jia's wings, Zhao Tuo was like a deflated ball, completely losing his temper.
Moreover, the settlement conditions proposed by Fu Ge are quite attractive.
Zhao Tuo was appointed as the prince of Nanyue and continued to command the three counties of Longchuan, Panyu and Xiangjun. Of course, all of this was nominal. The army in the Nanyue area must return to the control of the central government. The taxes of the officials of the three counties were also uniformly dispatched and collected by the central government. However, Zhao Tuo could retain his private soldiers in the palace. Every year, the court would also pull out part of the three counties' Furui as the cost of the Nanyue royal family.
What else do you need to think about?
Under such generous conditions, if you don’t surrender, you would be a fool. After seeing the great power of the Qin army to defeat Yelang, the ambition that once rose in Zhao Tuo’s heart had long been hit to the point of being hit. What’s more, even if Zhao Tuo wanted to fight, the generals and soldiers under his command had no desire to fight with the Qin army.
"Haha, come here, hurry up and hold a banquet. I want to welcome Sima and his party! In addition, I sent someone to the inn, no, I want to go to the inn in person to invite Mr. Lu Jia to the banquet." Finally, Fu Ge was very happy to learn the good news that the Nanyue problem was successfully resolved.
Before the decisive battle with Xiang Yu, he solved the worries of Nanyue first, which undoubtedly indicates that the next battle will have a good result. As long as you work hard and make efforts, all your ideas will come when the melons are ripe.
After three rounds of wine.
Lu Jia and other envoys were drunk and carried back by their personal guards. The four giants Fu Ge, Sima Liang, Han Xin and Zhang Liang were left in the huge conference hall.
The four of them were already drunk and drunk. They were about to march and fight. The heroic spirit in the man's heart was poured on by the strong wine, which aroused thousands of waves. Whether it was Fu Ge, Sima Liang, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang, the desire to fight the battlefield was filled with their hearts, like a pile of burning fire, which lasted for a long time!
I will fight Xiang Yu again on the bank of Zhangshui. This time, I will defeat Xiang Yu without God’s help!
Fu Ge looked up at the sky and roared in anger.
Pengcheng.
In early February, the winter rain that started at the end of the first lunar month has been falling for more than ten days, but there is still no sign of stopping.
This kind of cold weather is Xiang Yu’s dislike the most, just like a crying little woman, either coaxing or scolding.
Three days ago, he had just received a document of help from Zhang Er, the king of Changshan of Zhao, who urgently sent an envoy to send an envoy. The Qin army left Sanchuan and set up several cities in Zhao in a few days. Now, Zhang Er led the Zhao army, which had become a remnant, to retreat to Julu. If he could not wait for reinforcements from the princes for a long time, Zhang Er would be defeated!
What does this guy Zhang Er have to do with me if he is alive or dead?
The moment she saw this emergency document, this thought surged in Xiang Yu's heart.
Although Zhang Er once followed him for a while, he later had a good relationship with Liu Bang. Such a two-faced person is not worth saving!
