Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 43
Since Peng Yue, Zhang Liang, and Wu Guang occupied the three counties of Bushan, Zhulu, and Laoyi, they took the lead in abolishing the previous Nanyue rituals and laws in these three counties, and reopened the administration according to the regulations of the State of Qin, and immediately dispatched Officials went to various places to explain the implementation of the new Qin law.

For the former South Vietnamese officials, they were also used by good talents. All those who were hated by the common people before were all beheaded for public display, and meritorious soldiers with both ability and political integrity were selected from the rebel army to fill the vacated positions.For those South Vietnamese officials who are still satisfied with the common people, they are degraded and appointed as appropriate.

In just half a month, the Qin government won the support of the people in the three counties.

When the news of the three counties of Guilin County spread to the Nanyue court hall, the entire Nanyue court and the public were shaken.

Since receiving the head of the commander-in-chief of the Bushan Daying Army, Nanyue King Zhao Tuo has not heard good news for several days.First Zhulu was lost, and then Laoyi was occupied by the Qin army.In just a few days, three of the four counties in Guilin County lost three, and most of Guilin County fell into the hands of Qin Jun.

On this day, the king of Nanyue opened his court to discuss state affairs in the Nanyue palace.

"Ministers, three of the four counties in Guilin County have fallen into Fusu's hands. What do you think I should do with Nanyue?" Zhao Tuo asked the officials with a sad face.

"My Majesty, I think that I should immediately mobilize the army to destroy the Qin army in Guilin County and recover the three counties including Bushan. If the Qin army takes root in Guilin County, then my Nanyue will be even more dangerous. Qin won Guilin County Afterwards, whether it is trade supplies or military supplies, they can be transported directly from Qianzhong County to Guilin County, and we, Nanyue, will never be in danger.” Wu Jian took the lead in telling Zhao Tuo his opinion.

"The widow also knows that Wu Guoxiang's words are true. If the army is transferred to Guilin County rashly, then my Nanhai County will be empty? If that Fusu suddenly sent a tiger army to kill my Nanhai County, how should I deal with it? Who can protect the safety of the widow at that time?"

Seeing the king of Nanyue cowering and cowering, only caring about his safety for the moment, Wu Jian was furious.

"My lord, are you still afraid to move forward at this time? Once the Qin army has gained a foothold in Guilin County, you will not only be afraid of the Huben army. You know the reason for the capture of my three counties in Guilin. How many soldiers are there? A mere 3000 people! We didn’t know that they had been lurking in Guilin County for so long until the Qin army started an uprising. Let’s just say that now, apart from knowing that these three thousand Qin troops are called Yinglong Army, I still don't know anything else. Your Majesty, don't you think that the Yinglong Army is far more terrifying than the Huben Army?"

When the officials heard that there were only 3000 Qin troops who captured the three counties of Guilin County, they all showed shocked expressions.Of course, many people showed suspicious expressions.

Seeing that many colleagues suspected that Ying Long's army only had 3000 people, Wu Jian decided to tell these colleagues more inside information.

"My colleagues, I know you don't believe it, and I didn't believe it at first. But according to the news from our spies stationed in Guilin County, it is confirmed that there are indeed only [-] Qin troops in Guilin County. If you don't believe me, you can go to the mansion privately. Check out the secret report of Guilin County in the library."

This completely petrified these South Vietnamese courtiers, and after a while, they started talking with each other.

"3000 people can occupy the three county towns that I defended with tens of thousands of people. The combat power of the Qin army is too terrifying!"

"Yes, if there are 3 people, then my Nanhai County is in danger."

"Who says it's not? In my opinion, I, Nanyue, may not be able to defeat Qin's tiger and wolf army."

……

When the group of ministers were talking about it, Wu Jian, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, spoke.

"My colleagues, now that the deal is done, we need to consider the countermeasures. How do you think I, Nanyue, should deal with Qin's occupation of the three counties of Guilin County?"

Seeing Wu Jian's question, a courtier immediately stood up and expressed his opinion:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wu, I think that I should send a large army to wipe out the Yinglong Army who invaded the three counties of Guilin County as soon as possible. If we just sit back and watch them take over in Guilin County, then Nanyue is really in danger."

"My subordinates also thought that I, Nanyue, should take back the three counties of Guilin County as soon as possible."

"Second ministers"

"The ministers also seconded"

……

For a while, more than half of the South Vietnamese courtiers expressed their support for the recovery of the three counties of Guilin County.

When all the courtiers who supported the recovery of the three counties of Guilin County finished their statements, only one courtier who had been silent stood up.

"My Majesty, my subordinates think that what Wu Guoxiang and his colleagues said is really wrong to the country. Using Nanyue, which has the strength of only four counties, to resist Daqin, which is rich in 35 counties, is really an act of hitting a stone with an egg. Besides, our four counties in Nanyue are all poor in products. How can I fight against the tiger-wolf-like Great Qin? My subordinates dared to advise the king to surrender his status and surrender to Qin, so that we can keep South Vietnam safe."

Seeing someone taking the lead, all the compromising South Vietnamese courtiers who were still on the sidelines followed suit.

"My lord, I also think that I, Nanyue, should surrender to Daqin again, so that I, Nanyue, can turn danger into good luck."

"My subordinates also think that Great Qin is definitely not something that we, Nanyue, can defeat. We, Nanyue, should bow down as soon as possible."

……

Seeing that a group of courtiers below were confronting each other, Zhao Tuo's face gradually became serious.Only now did Zhao Tuo realize that South Vietnam was on the verge of splitting.As far as the remarks of these courtiers are concerned, no matter the main battle or the main peace, they all have a certain degree of persuasion.

Wu Jian looked at the confused Zhao Tuo and shook his head, after much hesitation, he decided to go all out and tell the truth.

"My lord, no matter the master or the master, we just changed a master and continued to be a slave. But what about you? Can you continue to be king in another place? Do you think that son Fusu will tolerate a rebel who takes advantage of the chaos to stand on his own? Is it? Everyone in the court can surrender to Qin, but you can't. Because you have no way out. You may not be able to live if you resist, but you will be executed by Fusu if you bow your head and surrender."

After hearing what Wu Jian said, Zhao Tuo's body trembled slightly.Several attempts to rise from the throne were unsuccessful.

After a while, Zhao Tuo calmed down.He glanced resolutely at the group of courtiers below, and stood up from the throne.

"Ministers, I have made up my mind. I want to fight against Qin to the end, and I will never surrender. I will give you a stick of time to think about whether to stay or not. If anyone here is afraid of the Qin army, just leave on their own. Never pursue it."

After Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he ignored the ministers, got up and left the political hall.In the blink of an eye, there were only a group of courtiers staring at each other in the political hall.

The courtiers who were in charge of the battle before looked at those who were in charge of peace with contempt.And the courtiers of the main peace are not used to those main war factions who despise themselves, and stare back at those main war faction ministers who despise themselves.

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Tuo returned to the political hall accompanied by his guards.After glancing at the ministers, he returned to the throne.

"Ministers, it's time for a stick of incense. I don't know what you think about it. If anyone wants to leave, he can leave this hall for discussing politics. The widow is willing to let him go."

All the officials fell into silence, obviously no one chose to leave.

After hundreds of years of silence, Zhao Tuo stood up from the throne and looked at the officials sharply.

"Ministers, Zhao Tuo thanked you all here. Since everyone is willing to fight against the Qin army together with me, then you are the ministers of the widow. When I defeat the Qin army in Nanyue, the conditions are up to you, and the king will definitely agree. .However, I have to tell you some things in advance. From today on, I can no longer talk about surrender, otherwise I will definitely kill you."

In the next few days, Zhao Tuo began to organize his army and prepare for the complete elimination of the Qin army that invaded Guilin County.
