Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 466
A group of people traveled down the Lishui River in a boat and headed for Panyu City.

Because it is also the reason of the Qin army, although several counties were passing by for supplies along the way, under the condition that Ziying deliberately concealed his identity, Zhao Gao didn't get Ziying until the group arrived at Sihui City, which is very close to Panyu City. Not only did he not die, but he was approaching Panyu City.

If there is anyone Zhao Tuo fears in this world, Ziying is definitely one.

If he knew that Ziying was not dead, given him some courage, he would not dare to try to steal the power of the Qin army in South Vietnam and seek self-reliance.

But now everything is over, the only thing that can save him is to kill Ziying halfway before he comes to Panyu City.

Therefore, after getting the news, Zhao Tuo sent several teams led by his cronies to intercept and kill Ziying. As long as Ziying died, he could declare that this person was a counterfeit parallel importer.

Zhao Tuo was pacing back and forth in the main room full of irritability in Panyu City Sheriff's Mansion.

The Central Plains was in turmoil and Ren Xiao was seriously ill. After he replaced Ren Xiao in charge of the military affairs of the three counties, all the county guards and other officials sent by the Qin Dynasty had been driven away by Zhao Tuo. Now he calls himself the Nanyue Lord and the Great Elder of the Barbarians.

Unlike Ziying, he was the barbarian great elder who "invited" all the leaders of the Nanyue tribes to Panyu City and forced them to sacrifice to himself.

"Da da da..." There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a personal guard rushed into the house.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. General Wang led his army to surrender to King Qin."

After half a day.

"Your Majesty, Captain Duan was tied up by his subordinates and surrendered to the King of Qin."

at dusk.

"Your Majesty, Colonel Li's troops have been mutinied by Queen Qin, and Captain Li has died in battle."

That night.

"Your Majesty, King Qin has arrived outside Panyu City, and General Zhou Chen has led his troops out of the city to fight."

A quarter of an hour later.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly. General Zhou's troops did not obey the military order, but instead followed the King Qin's order to open the city of Panyu. General Zhou could not restrain himself and was killed."

Since Zhao Tuo learned that Ziying was approaching, "bad news" came every once in a while throughout the day. Either this person directly surrendered Ziying, or the other was tied up by his subordinates to belong to Ziying.

The several troops sent out not only did not play a blocking role, but all became Ziying's help.

From this, Zhao Tuo also deeply understood how big the gap in prestige in the army was between himself and Ziying.

He believed that if Ziying ordered the Qin army to kill him, the Nanyue Qin army would definitely cut off his head without hesitation.

"King Qin has already entered the city, can I still escape?" Zhao Tuo said dejectedly: "Forget it, you should go and surrender to King Qin, maybe you can escape with your life."

After Zhao Ting finished speaking, the guards around him were stunned for a moment, and then one of the guards said to Zhao Tuo first: "There is an old mother in my family to take care of me, and I have a baby waiting to be fed. I can't go to die with the king. Take care."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left the Junfu towards the city gate, apparently to surrender to Ziying.

Zhao Tuo turned his head and glanced at the guards who hadn't left yet. "In times of crisis..."

"Your Majesty, take care..."

"Take care of yourself……"

Before Zhao Tuo could finish his sentence, he saw the few remaining guards accuse Zhao Tuo of their crimes and ran out of the county guard's mansion as if fleeing.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the huge county guard's mansion, and he could be said to be a real loner.

It's easy to say, but when Zhao Tuo saw that those guards whom he treated very generously on weekdays really abandoned him, Zhao Tuo suffered a "serious" injury in his heart.

That mood is like being raped, full of grievances and nowhere to appeal.

When Ziying arrived at the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion surrounded by the army, Zhao Tuo had already been waiting for Ziying's arrival at the gate.

Looking at the teams of Qin Jun with excited faces behind Ziying, Zhao Tuo felt inexplicably heartbroken. There were quite a few people whom he considered a trusted confidant, but when they saw King Qin, they all switched to him without hesitation. under his command.

"Zhao Tuo has met King Qin." Seeing Ziying approaching slowly, Zhao Tuo cupped his hands at Ziying and said respectfully.

"Because of your military achievements, I will give you the whole body." As he spoke, Ziying drew a long sword from the waist of a guard and threw it in front of Zhao Tuo.

Ziying's meaning is obvious, that is to give the sword to order Zhao Tuo to commit suicide.

Zhao Tuo picked up the long sword with a bitter face, looked up at Ziying and asked, "Thank you King Qin for your kindness, but there is still one thing unknown about the dying man, I wonder if King Qin can clarify my doubts for me."

"Say."

"Why did the King of Qin not use his ministers in the first battle in South Vietnam?" Zhao Tuo asked.

Before Ziying's arrival, Zhao Tuo could be said to be the well-deserved commander of the 40 Qin army, and it was precisely because of his efforts to turn the tide that the Qin army would not be completely lost in South Vietnam.

It stands to reason that with such achievements, during the South Vietnam War, King Qin should have valued himself more no matter what, but Ziying was uncharacteristically, completely putting himself aside during the South Vietnam War.

In the few years before Ziying left South Vietnam, he had no chance to reach out to the army. It was not until Ren Xiao became seriously ill a while ago that he got in touch with the army again.

If not, his control over the army would not be so weak.

"From my point of view, you were born with a traitor, but you can't kill heroes for no reason, so you leave it alone." Ziying said calmly to Zhao Tuo: "You are satisfied with this."

Faced with Zhao Tuo's question, Ziying couldn't answer it. I figured out that you will definitely rebel in the future, so I can only put "rebellious bone" here in a far-fetched way. Anyway, people at the time believed in this kind of statement. No doubt.

"Tuo is taught." After listening to Ziying's answer, Zhao Tuo bowed to Ziying again: "I hope that in the next life, I will not live with the king forever."

After speaking, Zhao Tuo drew his sword and committed suicide.

If there is no Ziying, I am afraid that Zhao Tuo will be able to stand on his own in South Vietnam, isolated from the Central Plains, and become a generation of South Vietnam Martial Emperor like Ziying remembered in his previous life.

However, there are no ifs in the world. First, because of Ziying's scruples, Zhao Tuo did not participate in the entire war against South Vietnam, and had no chance to gain prestige, and then he was left idle for several years.

After finally taking over the army, he even encountered Ziying, who was comparable to a "legend" in the Qin army, "resurrected from the dead".

……

At this time, Ren Xiao, who had already been unable to get up, was carried over by several guards on the soft ground after knowing that Ziying was not dead.

"Ren Xiao... has failed the king's great trust... and asks the king to punish him..." It took Ren Xiao a long time to finish his sentence.

Speaking of Zhao Tuo's ability to take power so smoothly, Ren Xiao can't say that he was not at fault, but seeing Ren Xiao who was already sick and emaciated, I am afraid that his death is not far away, Ziying has no intention of punishing him.

"It's Zhao Tuo's fault, not the king's. Let's get well." Ziying walked to Ren Xiao's sick bed and said calmly: "Send General Ren back to the house, so that he can take care of him."

……

If I remember correctly, the Central Plains at this time may have become a mess, and the Qin army in South Vietnam must rush northward.

After taking over the South Vietnam Army again, Ziying immediately ordered the army to assemble and prepare to go north.

At this time, there were 40 Qin troops in Nanyue, and Ziying planned to transfer 20 troops to the north, and the remaining 20 Qin troops continued to deter the hundreds of tribes in South Vietnam.

As for who will be in charge of South Vietnam's political affairs after he leaves, Ziying has already made plans along the way, and with Badi's mother, both families will be masters in internal affairs.

Xiao He and Cao Canna were the later prime ministers of the Han Dynasty, and it was no problem to govern a Nanyue in a mere way.

Ziying immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Du Qing in Bajun, asking his mother, three daughters, Xiao He, Cao Can, Bao Sheng and others to come to Panyu City for a reconciliation.

By the time they arrive, the South Vietnam Army should be almost assembled...
