On the plains of the lower reaches of the Min River, there is a small city nestled in the jungle.
Minyue Royal City.
"The meat of the people of Qin is much tenderer than that of the people of Fujian and Yue. It's delicious."
The speaker was a Yue aristocrat with broken hair and bloody tiger tattoos on his face.
He was holding a steaming, suspicious-looking object in his hand, and while talking, he opened his mouth to chew on it.
King Zou Wuzhu of Minyue stood nearby, his scalp numb as he watched.
He couldn't answer this question, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"It's so barbaric. These South Vietnamese barbarians are all bloodthirsty monsters! Now he actually ate all the envoys of the Qin people, hiss..."
Zou Wuzhu cursed in his heart.
Although both Minyue and Nanyue are classified as Baiyue by the Central Plains people.
But in fact, these two large Yue countries are not the same ethnic group.
The king of Minyue, Zou Wuzhu.
It can be seen from the surname that he is of the same bloodline as Dongou Jun Zuoyao and Yu Yuejun Zuowuyou.
They are all descendants of the former Yue King Goujian.
After the Yue Kingdom destroyed the Wu Kingdom, it became powerful and powerful for a while and was known as the overlord of the world.
But in the era when the Yue king was Wuqiang, the Yue state was defeated by Chu. The Yue king Wujiang was killed by the Chu army, and the Chu people took all the old Wu land north of Zhejiang.
Because King Wujiang of Yue died suddenly and no heir was designated.
After his death, the children of various clans competed for the throne and power, and the Yue Kingdom fell into pieces. His relatives were scattered all over the country, either claiming the title of king or king, and established large and small Yue kingdoms.
The Kuaiji area south of Zhejiang is for Yue.
The area around the Oujiang River is Dongou.
As for the ancestors of Zou Wuzhu, they went south into Fujian, conquered the local indigenous Qi Min, and established the Minyue Kingdom here.
So despite the fact that Minyue often bullies Dongou, they are actually the same ancestor.
The situation of the three kingdoms of Nanyue, Xiou and Luoyue in the west is completely different from that of Minyue and Dongou.
These three hundred great countries are known as Buluotuo's children.
Buluotuo is the ancestor in Yue people's mythology. He is the omniscient and omnipotent creator god and ancestor god.
The sky and the earth were very close to each other originally, but it was Buluotuo who propped up the old iron wood, lifted up the sky, pushed down the earth, and created a new world.
Buluotuo also created humans, fire, houses, and grains, and shot down more than ten suns that brought harm to the human world.
Buluotuo is the ancestor of the Yue people.
His descendants live in different parts of the country, and each tribe has its own totem symbol.
The more powerful ones include the dragon, frog, tiger, wasp, buffalo, elephant, red deer, golden rooster, etc.
For example, the King of Xiou, who translated Xu Song, belonged to the Frog tribe among the Yue people. They believed in and worshiped frogs and were the most powerful among the tribes in Xiou, so they were called the King of Xiou.
In Luoyue, the Xiang tribe was the strongest, and the leader of the Xiang tribe was King Luo Yue.
In South Vietnam, the Jiao tribe was the most powerful, and the leader of the Jiao tribe was the King of Nanyue.
Now standing in front of the Minyue King Zou Wuzhu is A Tu Gu, the leader of the South Vietnamese Tiger Tribe.
The Hu tribe is the most powerful tribe among the tribes in South Vietnam, except for the Jiao tribe of the King of Nanyue. Its people are fierce and fight fiercely.
In last year's Qin-Yue War, after the King of Nanyue defeated the Qin's Western Route Army, he sent the leader of the Tiger Tribe, Atu Gu, with the Buffalo Tribe and the Red Deer Tribe to support the Minyue people. They wanted to help the Minyue people drive away the Qin Dynasty.
army and destroyed Dongou.
This is a great thing for Zou Wuzhu.
With the help of these South Vietnamese barbarians, they successfully drove away the Qin people.
But at the same time, the Minyue people were also deeply harmed by these South Vietnamese barbarians.
Compared with the tribes of South Vietnam, such as Xiou and Luoyue, they are the most barbaric among the descendants of Buluotuo. They eat everything, including headhunting and cannibalism.
When the South Vietnamese usually have nothing to do, they will invade Minyue and capture a few Minyue people to eat.
This time they entered the Minyue land as reinforcements and fought with the Minyue people. How could they endure their appetites?
When Nanyue and Minyue jointly attacked Dongou, Zou Wuzhu discovered that his people often disappeared without a trace.
One less today and two less tomorrow.
If you search carefully, you may be able to find scattered bones in the bonfires of your allies.
This made the Minyue people tremble with fear. They were not even as afraid of the Qin people as they were of their allies.
The people of Qin killed them at most.
Their allies, the South Vietnamese, can eat them up.
Although he was full of fear and resentment, Zou Wuzhu had no choice when the Qin army pressed on the territory.
He could only endure this tone, thinking that after removing the threat from the Qin people, he would drive these South Vietnamese back.
When attacking Dongou, Zou Wuzhu felt a little envious when he saw the Qin troops wearing black armor fighting side by side with the Yue people of Dongou.
In fact, when Feng Wuze was in charge of the affairs of Yue, he sent merchants and envoys to and from Fujian and Yue.
Zou Wuzhu was very fond of the Qin people's shining jewelry, silky silks and various ingenious utensils, and was very willing to do business with the Qin people.
But later, when faced with Feng Wuze's request to recruit Minyue to join Qin and become a vassal state of Qin, Zou Wuzhu directly refused.
Just kidding, what is his identity?
How could the majestic king of Minyue, who ruled the seven lands of Min and Yue, surrender to Qin for such a trivial thing?
Moreover, he also had to remove his royal title and be called Yue Jun. This request was even more unacceptable to the face-conscious Zou Wuzhu.
Especially when Zu Yao, Lord of Dong Ou, who had always had a grudge against him, failed to resist the temptation of the Qin people and actually raised Dong Ou to surrender to the Qin State, it was even less possible for Zou Wu Zhu to surrender to the Qin people.
Unexpectedly, the Qin army actually launched a surprise attack later and captured his royal city. He was so frightened that he fled westward in a hurry. In desperation, he asked the barbaric South Vietnamese for help, and finally ended up in the current situation.
Looking at Atugu who was feasting on barbecued meat in front of him.
Thinking again, the once powerful Minyue Kingdom had been greatly reduced in strength under the attack of the Qin army.
The Qin army once again approached the border.
A trace of regret arose in Zou Wuzhu's heart.
"Had I known this, I might as well have surrendered the Qin people like Zu Yao and become a vassal state of Qin. At least I wouldn't have ended up in today's situation. If so, I might have been able to join the Qin army to kill these South Vietnamese barbarians.
"
Zou Wuzhu turned his head and glanced at a bloody corpse not far away, the expression on his face became even more ugly.
This time the Qin army sent an envoy, and he was very happy.
It proves that there may be the possibility of peace talks between the Qin army and Minyue.
But it was a pity that before the Qin envoy could say a few words, he was killed by the ferocious South Vietnamese.
Talk about peace?
Dream on.
If you eat someone else’s messenger, will they still make peace with you?
Thinking of this, Zou Wuzhu felt bitter in his heart and said to Atu Gu: "Now that the Qin envoy is dead, war is inevitable. The Qin people may go south in two days. We must be prepared."
A Tu Gu raised his head, grinned and said: "This is the best. Bring the Qin people into the jungle. This is our place. Let the Qin army take the skin off and send it back."
"Provoke them and make the Qin people come to the jungle."
