Chapter 77
The next day, Han Chuan ignored Zhao Shi and let him handle the funeral of the Nanyue King. Han Chuan also left 5000 troops to clean up the mess in Dongye City.

After arranging these things, Han Chuan led the remaining 3 people to the southwest of Dongye City to support Fusu.

When Han Chuan was fighting fiercely at the head of Dongye City, Fusu was also entangled with 20 South Vietnamese troops. Because the South Vietnamese army had an advantage in numbers, Fusu did not choose to fight with the South Vietnamese army on a large scale, but fought sideways. The purpose of retreating was to hold back the South Vietnamese Army as much as possible and create an opportunity for Han Chuan to take down Dongye City.

Three days later, a South Vietnamese Army scout from Dongye City rushed into the South Vietnamese Army's camp on horseback, and went straight to the Chinese Army's tent where the South Vietnamese Army Commander General Xu Jia was.

"What, you said the king committed suicide." Xu frame asked in shock.

The interrogator from Dongye nodded weakly.

"Report, there are [-] Qin cavalry coming to my camp, and their vanguard is less than ten miles away from my camp."

When Xu Jia was immersed in the shock of Zhao Tuo's suicide, another scout rushed in to report to Xu Jia that Han Chuan's army was approaching from behind.

"What's going on?" Xu Frame asked Tan Qi, who was half kneeling in front of him.

"General, half an hour ago, a group of Qin cavalry suddenly appeared in the northeast of my camp, with a number of about 3 people. It seems that it should be Qin's tiger army." The situation was reported to Xu frame.

It wasn't until this time that Xu Jian completely believed what the scout said about the situation in Dongye City. The Nanyue King Zhao Tuo might really have committed suicide.

"Let's back down," Xu frame said to the scout soldier and the Tan cavalry who had just arrived.

After the two left, Xu Jia paced back and forth in the big tent anxiously.

"I was ordered by the King of Nanyue to lead the army to go to war. Now the King of Nanyue committed suicide. What is this? For the king of Nanyue, who can he be now? For the sake of his son, he has already surrendered to Qin. If he leads a large army to surrender to Fusu, he will feel sorry for the dead king of Nanyue."

Xu Jia racked his brains to think about what to do, but found that he suddenly had no choice.

Just as Xu Jian was struggling, the Huben Army led by Han Chuan had already arrived three miles away from the South Vietnamese Army camp.

A tiger and cardinal army scout came to Han Chuan on horseback and reported to Han Chuan about the situation of the Su army.

That night, after Han Chuan captured Dongye City, he immediately sent a team of scouts out of Dongye City at Xingye, to the location of Fusu's army, and reported to Fusu the situation of Dongye.

At this moment, the Tanqi in front of Han Chuan was one of the Tanqi that Han Chuan sent that night.

"General Han, the son's subordinates are not in danger. The son asked me to tell the general not to rush to see him, and let the general temporarily act behind the South Vietnamese army to deter the South Vietnamese army. The son also asked the humble officer to tell the general not to wait for the time being." To contact the South Vietnamese Army, let’s see how the South Vietnamese Army reacts after learning of Zhao Tuo’s death.”

After hearing what Tanqi said, Han Chuan nodded thoughtfully.

In the next few days, the South Vietnamese Army stopped all offensives, and the Qin Army did not take advantage of the opportunity of the South Vietnamese Army to stop fighting back.

When the South Vietnamese Army and the Qin Army ceased fighting, the news of Zhao Tuo's suicide began to spread wildly among the South Vietnamese soldiers.

At first, Xu Jia wanted to block the news from the source and conceal the news of Zhao Tuo's death from the soldiers, but when all the soldiers of the South Vietnamese army were discussing Zhao Tuo's suicide, Xu Jia had no choice but to let the news spread. Strokes spread wantonly.

The reason why these news were able to spread so widely among the South Vietnamese Army was naturally due to Fusu's secret operations.The reason why Fusu wanted Zhao Tuo's death to spread wildly among the South Vietnamese Army was to break down the fighting spirit of the South Vietnamese Army.

On this day, when Xu Jia was patrolling the camp, an old soldier chased him up and blocked Xu Jia.

"General Xu, everyone is spreading the news about the king, can you tell us the truth, is the news true or not?"

Looking at the old soldier in front of him, Xu Frame was speechless and didn't know what to say. If he continued to lie to these people, it didn't seem to make much sense. If he told the truth, the hearts of these 20 soldiers would be broken.

Xu Jia looked at the old pawn in front of him, frowned, thinking about how to answer the old pawn's question.

"General Xu, I understand." The old soldier looked at Xu frame and said seriously.

Xu Jia was almost depressed to death, he didn't say anything, the old soldier understood, it really made Xu Jia a little confused.

These days, when these soldiers saw that the war between them and the Qin army had stopped, and the Qin army did not take the opportunity to counterattack, they would naturally feel suspicious. These abnormal signs naturally aroused the doubts of the soldiers, and Zhao Tuo The news of Zhao Tuo's death can just explain these anomalies, so some smart people in the army began to speculate on the authenticity of Zhao Tuo's suicide, just like this old soldier.

According to common sense, if Zhao Tuo is still alive, when the old soldier asks this question, Xu Jia will definitely be furious, but today Xu Jia's reaction is too calm, so this old soldier has verified it from Xu Jia's performance. The truth and falsehood of Zhao Tuo's suicide came out.

"Wait a minute"

Just when the old pawn was about to turn around and leave, Xu frame called to stop the old pawn.

"General Xu, what else is there?" the old soldier asked with some fear.

"At this point, I don't want to hide it from you anymore. The king is indeed dead." Xu frame said to the old soldier in front of him firmly.

"I already guessed this ending"

The old pawn looked at Xu frame dumbly, and said frankly.

"Now that the king is gone, I want to know what you soldiers think."

The old soldier lowered his head slowly, thinking about what Xu Zhu asked.

After a while, the old pawn suddenly raised his head, glanced at Xu Zhuang and then knelt down in front of Xu Zhuang with a plop.

"General Xu, since you asked me about the humble position, let me tell you the truth. I was originally from Qin, and I followed General Ren Xiao to South Vietnam. Now that the king is gone, we want to return to Daqin."

After hearing what the old pawn said, Xu frame nodded silently.

"Get up," Xu frame said, helping the old soldier up.

"I don't know if returning to Daqin is your idea or everyone's idea?"

"General, all Wufu from the old Qin have the idea of ​​returning to Qin." The old soldier said convincingly to Xu Frame.

"I know, you go down first."

Seeing the back of the old pawn leaving, Xu frame already had a plan in mind.

Two days later, Xu Jia left the South Vietnamese Army camp with a few entourages and went straight to Fusu's headquarters.

It was not until dusk that Xu Jian and his party returned to the South Vietnamese Army camp.

Early the next morning, white flags were hung everywhere in the South Vietnamese Army's camp, expressing their willingness to accept the Qin Army's incorporation.

When they saw tens of thousands of Qin soldiers walking into the South Vietnamese army camp, countless veterans of the South Vietnamese army shed tears of excitement. They had fantasized about returning to the Great Qin countless times, but they never had the chance. When he couldn't return to his hometown of Qin, he ushered in such an opportunity.

……

Half a month later, Li Yan sent news from Xiangjun that Xiangjun and Luoyue were all taken back.

At this point, the four counties of Nanyue, which had been split for three years, returned to the rule of Daqin, and Fusu's reputation reached a new height.
