Chapter 010 Chasing the King of Xiou
The news of Tu Sui's accidental death reached Xianyang, and Qin Emperor was furious: "A mere small Xiou tribe actually made me lose Tu Guowei, which is my crime!" So he convened an emergency military meeting in the imperial front to discuss the re-examination of Baiyue.
Zhao Gao lost his favorite disciple Tu Sui, and his teeth were clenched, and he firmly demanded that the Xiou tribe of the Song Dynasty be defeated in one fell swoop and that he must be killed.
The recruitment edict was issued to various counties and counties. Soon the Qin Emperor collected 100,000 troops from all over the country, plus the original 200,000 troops, totaling 300,000 troops, and attacked the Yue people again on the Wuling River. Ren Xiao was the head commander, and Zhao Tuo was still the deputy general.
Because he was unable to enter the Xiou people's hordes, Ren Xiao changed Tu Sui's massacre policy and continued to divide and disintegrate the Yue people. He treated the surrendered Xiou people with preferential treatment, and appointed Yue people to continue to serve as officials, manage their own territory, and exempted from corvee service, military service, and taxes for three years.
The King of Xiou, who was at a loss, led the remnants of the Song Dynasty to sink into the jungle, resisted stubbornly, and refused to surrender. For this reason, Ren Xiao decided to get rid of it.
Ren Xiao posted a notice, promising a thousand taels of gold to buy the head of Xushu Song. A few days passed, and no Yue people came to tell Xushu Song about the whereabouts. The dragon slaughtered the dragon and waited without patience. He walked into Zhao Tuo's tent and volunteered to pursue Xushu Song.
At this time, a thin young man walked out of the camp, with his face as sharp as a knife, and his swords were slanted, asking, "I am willing to be a guide and take you to find Yi Xusong's nest." Everyone stopped him. "Why don't you allow me to see General Zhao Tuo?" The visitor asked the guards.
"We general said that no one outsiders saw him!" The guard captain confirmed at a glance that the person who came was Jiuxiong, and he did not expect that Jiuxiong was really brave and was arresting him everywhere and dared to come to him.
"I am not a translator, even if it is, I can't send sheep into the tiger's mouth!" The visitor refused to admit it.
"Brothers, let me see!" The guards raised their vigilance. He was the updater of Shuixin Village and the only survivor of the massacre.
He was shocked and hurriedly reported to Zhao Tuo and the Dragon Slaughter, describing the appearance of the visitor in detail.
The Dragon Slaughter compared the portrait on the pursuit order: "Isn't this the Yi Yu Song we are going to pursue? God helps me!" The Dragon Slaughter was secretly happy, rushed out and drew his sword and put it on the shoulders of the visitor.
"The general is just a dragon slaying?" The visitor was extremely calm, "You recognized the wrong person!"
"You are the one who takes Miao Man to slaughter Shuixin Village. I know you even if you burn it to ashes!" The updater also came out to indicate.
"Prison General, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. There are too many similar people in the world." Zhao Tuo walked out after hearing the sound.
"If you really think I am Yi Yusong, you can cut me down now." The visitor spread his hands and said.
"Translation: Soong, don't argue. If I hadn't been to the mountains last night, I would have become a ghost under your sword." The updater firmly believed that the visitor was King Xiou.
"Hahaha, what certificate do you have?" The visitor sneered, a breeze blew, and a corner of the wizard's magic seal on his waist was revealed.
The updater took over the seal and shook it: "This is the evidence!" and handed over the seal to Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo took the seal, but after a long time of recognition, he still couldn't recognize it. He whispered to the Dragon Slaughter: "This seal is a text from Chu State, can you recognize it?"
Tu Long is Tu Sui's son. After a famous general, he studied Chu culture when he was a young man. He looked at it for a while: "The Victory Mother of the Nine Heavens Palace, Chile, is not the Seal of the King of Xiou!" He slowly put down the sword in his hand.
"I said I was either Yi Xu Song, you just don't believe it. Now I suddenly don't want to help you." The visitor was angry and turned his head and was about to leave.
"Hero, I, Zhao Tuo, have always been open and honest in my life. Please bring the death-free token and document in my hand back to Miao Village. I will not blame the past for the matter of Shuixin Village." Zhao Tuo took out two items from his sleeve.
"Don't pretend, I won't take your trick!" The visitor didn't even raise his eyelids, "If you are sincere, I'll send someone to Elder Tan of Miao Village to deliver it to Elder Tan."
"Hey, you have a habit. You actually came to command our General Zhao. Who are you?" The dragon-slaying anger ignited again, and the sword was placed on the neck of the visitor.
"Tell you the truth, I am King Katian!" The visitor showed off his identity as King Katian and gently pushed away the sword with his fingers.
"King Katian, don't know." Qin Jun laughed, "We only know King Xi'ou—"
"Hey, you don't understand it even after saying it. I am the future King of Katian Xiao Zizhang. General Zhao Tuo is the future King of Nanyue!"
"Then we don't know even more." Qin Jun smiled even harder. How could they know what happened thousands of years later?
"I'm laughing at me, I won't tell you anymore, I'll leave." Jiu Xiong was a little angry, thinking that such a famous person was laughing at the world.
"I think beautifully. The Qin army camp is not a small teahouse, so how can you be free to come and go!" The dragon slays the dragon and signal the guard to take down Jiuxiong.
Zhao Tuo shouted loudly, not allowing the guard to come forward, and resolved the crisis in time: "Don't be rude, let me go!"
"King Katian, I will not stop you from coming and going. When you have thought about it, I will come to find me Zhao Tuo. I still respect you as a man."
"Thank you General Zhao, I'll go--" Jiu Xiong ran away like oily as if the soles of his feet were wiped away.
Zhao Tuo looked at Jiuxiong's gradually disappearing figure, pondered for a while, and said to the Dragon Slaughter: "It will be hard for General Tu to educate Miao Man."
"I?"
"Don't you want to avenge your father's death?"
"think!"
"Then follow my plan and deliver these two items to Elder Tan. It's time for us to shake hands with the Sanmiao Tribe."
"No. I will obey the order!"
"Remember, don't disturb the Miao people, otherwise I will ask you!"...
Jiuxiong left the Biaoling Ridge, but without magical power, he had to hike back to Miao Village. As soon as he returned to Miao Village, Elder Tan, Xiye and Luo Qian had been waiting in front of the village for a long time.
"Prince, you have disappeared for a day, and the village is in full swing." Luo Qian opened his conversation as soon as he saw Jiuxiong, "After the afternoon tea, more than a dozen Qin troops came, and the leader claimed to be the dragon slaying..."
"What did he do? Do you know that he is the son of Tu Sui who kills without blinking?" Jiu Xiong was so angry that he smoked.
"It's not a good thing you did. Now General Zhao Tuo has extended an olive branch to us and no longer pursue the matter of Shuixin Village, we can't kill the envoy of peace, right?" Nishino said quickly.
"Oh, there is such a good person? Didn't Zhao Tuo want to be a vassal prince?" Jiuxiong could not have expected that Zhao Tuo would really turn war into jade.
"Prince, I am now in a dilemma. If I order my tribe members to stop fighting against the Qin army, I will be ashamed of death; if I continue to be enemies with the Qin army, we will suffer a catastrophe." Elder Tan could not come up with a good countermeasure for the time being.
"When we meet, we smile and we will eliminate our grudges. Let's take a look at General Zhao Tuo's actions." Luo Xu said.
"But Yihusong and the others are still resisting, who should we help the Qin army and Xiou?" He didn't know what to do.
"The First Emperor is ambitious and expands territory, and the people's will. Unification is the general trend. The Xiou tribe drinks blood and eats meat, and is still in primitive society. We should educate the Central Plains civilization. Let's help General Zhao Tuo!" Jiuxiong made the final decision.
"Since the prince is determined to help the Qin Dynasty, I will obey it. For the peace and peace of the Miao village, everyone will go to my house to have a few drinks! Please invite--" Elder Tan finally smiled on his face...
Without the attack from the Miao warriors, the Qin army led by Zhao Tuo concentrated all its efforts to deal with the armed forces of the Xiou King. Ren Xiao was far away in Panyu City, and he handed over the important task of pursuing Yi Xusong to Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo selected 20,000 elite soldiers from the Chu team in the Qin army, and asked Tulong to lead them. He specifically reminded him: "Don't be reckless, and the Song Dynasty should not be underestimated." Tulong's group marched in the mountains and ridges for a day and a night, and fought all the way, and encountered resistance from all over the world. The battle was not fierce, and the Yue army was quickly defeated.
The guide Jiuxiong knew the terrain of the Xiou area as if he was more wings, but the Qin army still did not find the footprints of the Xiou king.
A pool of blood suddenly appeared on the path in the jungle. Jiuxiong squatted down, dipped his fingers a little, and smelled it.
Based on his sensitive sense of smell, he concluded that Yi Xu Song had not escaped: "General Tu, King Xiou was seriously injured and could not run too far, even if he had wings, he could not escape!"
"Prince, I have been running with you for so long. I won't be fooling me again this time, right?" The Dragon Slaughter came up panting.
"If I miscalculate again, you can cut off my tongue, and I have nothing to say!"
"I will believe you again, General."
Xiye, Jiuxiong followed the blood and led the Qin army forward. The army walked in the jungle for less than half an hour, and in front of a very hidden cave, the blood disappeared. It turned out that Song Sanluo was seriously injured in the battle, and his wounds were bleeding. He had to rest for one or two hours every time he went to a place. He was surrounded and blocked by the Qin army and had no way out.
The dragon slaying looked around the surrounding terrain. The cave was about five or six meters above the ground. It was condescending. The Qin army was easily attacked. He made a gesture of dispersing left and right, and the Qin army quickly dispersed.
Xiye, Jiuxiong and Luo Xu climbed up the stone wall like monkeys and hid on the side of the cave entrance. "Xiye, follow me to kill into the cave!" Jiuxiong shouted.
"The King of Xi'ou is not a soft persimmon, you should go there yourself!" Xiye has always been doing things steadily, and will not rush hard.
"Don't you have Fuxi Qin here?" Jiuxiong turned his head and asked.
"Prince, Fuxi's zither can't fly anymore." Luo Xu continued, "My stylus is also useless."
"Can you please be quiet? Come down and help move trees-" Slaughtering the Dragon signaled the troops to prepare for battle. These soldiers fought with the Yue people for three or four years and knew their tactics and psychology very well.
The Dragon Slayer ordered people to pile up several meters of trees and firewood in front of the cave door, and then ignited a large fire, and the smoke entered the cave along the wind.
