Chapter 37 South Vietnam returns Zhang Liang and others
Ten days later, a letter from Xianyang arrived at the Nanyue Palace. After reading it, Nanyue King Zhao Tuo angrily threw the letter on the ground.
"Little Fusu, you are bullying someone too much," Zhao Tuo roared angrily.
Wu Jian, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, quickly picked up the letter on the ground and read it quickly.
"Come here, behead Zhang Liang and all the five hundred bandits," Zhao Tuo ordered the guards angrily.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this. If we kill Zhang Liang and others, then we will completely fall out with Fusu, and a war will be inevitable." Wu Jian tried his best to dissuade him.
"You guys should step back first."
Zhao Tuo dismissed the two guards who were on standby and sat back on the throne dejectedly.
Seeing that Zhao Tuo had temporarily given up his plan to kill Zhang Liang and others, Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, Fusu just put down the Xiongnu troubles in Hexi not long ago, and the army is in full strength at this time. If we start a war with Qin at this time, it will not be beneficial to our South Vietnam. Our South Vietnam is far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, with poor products and poor people's livelihood. As a result, we
All supplies in South Vietnam must be obtained by trade with Qin. If we want to start a war with Qin, we must first hoard enough supplies. The people of our four counties in South Vietnam are not enough to support the war between South Vietnam and Qin."
"Xiang Wu, how could these people not know what you are talking about? It's just that Fu Su is bullying people too much." Zhao Tuo said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, our South Vietnam is only temporarily unfit to go to war with the Qin State. It does not mean that we will never be able to go to war with the Qin State. In just three to five years, our South Vietnam will be able to stockpile enough food and supplies for five years. At that time, we will unite with the anti-Qin forces.
We can have a showdown with Fusu. But right now we can’t fall out with Qin, after all, we still have to seize all kinds of supplies from Qin.”
After hearing what Wu Jian said, Zhao Tuo's anger gradually calmed down. After all, those who achieve great things should not care about temporary gains and losses.
Two days later, a fast rider brought the news from the South Vietnam border back to the Nanyue Palace.
"Your Majesty, the State of Qin has blocked all passages in and out of our South Vietnam, cutting off the trade between Qin and our South Vietnam."
Zhao Tuo was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect Fusu to take action so quickly.
"Hurry and ask Prime Minister Wu to come see me," Zhao Tuo ordered the guards.
Half an hour later, Wu Jian rushed back to the Nanyue Palace under the leadership of his guards.
When Zhao Tuo told Wu Jian the news about Qin's border blockade, Wu Jian was shocked. This was not an act of revenge by Fu Su. They had obviously begun to plan to destroy South Vietnam.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Qin State's blockade of our South Vietnam is not just to rescue Zhang Liang and others. It should be that Fusu has already begun to plot to destroy our South Vietnam. Your Majesty, think about it. Zhang Liang and Wu Guang have sneaked in before us.
We, South Vietnam, rebelled, and later Fusu used Zhang Liang's incident to cut off our South Vietnam's trade route with Qin. Isn't there any connection between this? Your Majesty, it is obvious that our South Vietnam has been targeted by Fusu. Where are the three other countries in South Vietnam?
It’s taken five years to prepare, but I’m afraid it won’t be long before Fusu’s army comes to kill me in South Vietnam.”
Only then did Zhao Tuo realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Xiang Wu, what do you think Nanyue should do about this matter?" Zhao Tuo looked at Wu Jian and asked.
"Your Majesty, I think that we in South Vietnam should first send Zhang Liang and the five hundred bandits back to Qin. This way, Fusu will not be able to find a reason to send troops for the time being, and it can also buy us in South Vietnam time to prepare for war. Then send out
The envoys go to Xianyang to seek peace from Fusu. Even if the peace is unsuccessful, they can still take the opportunity to find out Fusu's conspiracy. In addition to Xianyang, our South Vietnam should also send envoys to the Xiang family in Jiangdong, Emperor Hu Hai of Qin State, Liu Ji of Dang County and others.
Sir, recruit these people to join us in South Vietnam to resist Fu Su. In the end, Your Majesty must make up his mind to mobilize our army and people in South Vietnam to actively prepare for war. The peace talks are just an illusion, and conquering the enemy with war is the key."
…
On this day, a group of South Vietnamese soldiers escorted Zhang Liang and others out of Hengpu Pass and headed for Qin.
Since that day, the King of Nanyue listened to the advice of the Prime Minister Wu Jian and sent people to release Zhang Liang and others. In order to prevent Zhang Liang and his gang from entering Qingzhang Mountain again to cause trouble, Zhao Tuo also sent two thousand soldiers to escort them along the way.
Zhang Liang and others arrived at the junction of Nanyue and Qin.
"Mr. Zifang, I didn't expect that the King of Nanyue actually let us go and sent troops to escort us to Qin. It seems that the King of Nanyue really doesn't dare to provoke the young master." A follower glanced at the man who was following behind him.
The South Vietnamese soldiers turned to Zhang Liang and asked.
"That's natural. Who am I, Young Master Da Qin? To be honest with you brothers, there are only two people in this world that I, Zhang Liang, admire. One is my master, Old Man Qianshang, and the other is Young Master Fusu." Zhang Liangyi
He boasted proudly.
After making a lot of noise in South Vietnam, he had to be escorted back to the Qin Dynasty by the South Vietnamese army. This would make anyone arrogant. Zhang Liang walked among the team with a proud look on his face, and he admired Fusu even more.
Two days later, Wu Guang received Zhang Liang and others at the junction of Qin and Nanyue. He was overjoyed for a while.
"Mr. Zifang, I said you will be fine." Wu Guang said to Zhang Liang excitedly. However, a trace of tears in the corner of Wu Guang's eyes could not be hidden.
"Brothers, I have received the order from the Young Master: You are all meritorious men of the Qin Dynasty. Each of you will be given 10,000 coins and 20 acres of land in Hexi. Anyone who is willing to settle in Hexi will be given another 10,000 coins as a resettlement fee, and your virtue will be considered.
Grant certain official positions, the lowest of which is no less than a stingy husband (an official position in the Qin Dynasty is equivalent to the level of a township chief.). If you do not want to go to Hexi, you can continue to serve in the army, and the rewards of money and food will remain the same, and you will be awarded a centurion.
Position. After the Great Qin eradicates the South Vietnamese rebellion, he can be released and returned to his homeland of South Vietnam, and replaced with local official positions based on military merit."
"I'll thank you sir later."
…
More than 500 soldiers who had returned from South Vietnam knelt on the ground and thanked Fusu for his gift. At this moment, these soldiers truly felt the pride of being Qin people, and began to appreciate Fusu's kindness from the bottom of their hearts.
They were originally just the most insignificant existence in this troubled world. Ever since they followed Zhang Liang, they had ignored life and death and lived one day at a time. When they were captured by Zhao Tuo, they were even more prepared to be killed at any time.
Prepare. They were also dubious about Zhang Liang's promise that Young Master Fusu would definitely save them. After all, they didn't know whether Young Master Fusu knew about their existence. When they were released by South Vietnam and returned to Qin, they all felt like it was a dream.
.
It wasn't until they heard Fusu's edict conveyed by Wu Guang that they realized that Fusu had always been thinking of their merits and had given them huge rewards. For a while, these soldiers were so moved that they didn't know how to deal with themselves. Some people howled loudly.
Crying, some laughing.
Whether you cry or laugh, you are always happy at this moment.
Zhang Liang saw the five hundred soldiers immersed in joy, and was truly happy for these brothers. At the same time, he felt relieved, and it seemed that he no longer needed to fight to the death for these soldiers and Fusu.
"Shu Ru, Master, I have one more thing to tell you: Master said that he originally did not intend to accept disciples who had been prisoners to teach the art of war, but he is willing to give you some advice because you and I have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the King of Nanyue.
12. He asked us to quickly return to Daqin Military Academy after settling these brothers."
After hearing what Wu Guang said, Zhang Liang was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.
