Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 367 The East Vietnam War (11)

Seeing Master Sheng's frank behavior, Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Very well, please sit down. Our army has come here with very few casualties, and we have won two generals. It is indeed a big gain. But Dongyue's The domestic city is right in front of us, we can't be negligent in the slightest, rest here temporarily, and wait for Zhang Han, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Lu Su's follow-up troops to arrive here, and then attack Shanyue City together."

"promise!"

Zhao Lei then said: "Master Sheng has made a lot of contributions this time. I will now appoint Master Sheng as the captain and stay by my side. The rest of the generals have worked hard to kill a lot of thieves. When Dongyue is pacified and eased After the Shanyue clan, when they return to Moling, they will be rewarded separately."

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone shouted in unison.

This time, Master Sheng has indeed made a lot of contributions. Although Zhao Lei ordered the formation of poisonous snakes wisely, he was the one who controlled the poisonous snakes. He killed 6000 people by himself. This contribution is really too great. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhao Lei's generals had already been rewarded, and there would be no more general positions in a short period of time, Zhao Lei would like to promote Master Sheng and Li Lei to be generals together. One is a person with secret skills, and the other is an all-rounder. The talent of a general, the two newcomers made him look a lot inferior.

Master Sheng presented Boon's big golden bow to Zhao Lei. Zhao Lei had no interest in bows and arrows, so he gave it to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun took the big bow with gold trim and gemstones embedded. He was really happy. Thank you Zhao Lei Thanks again.

After resting for two days, Zhang Han, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Lu Su rushed over. Walking on foot was quite exhausting for them.

Just when Zhao Lei was about to set off again, a soldier came to report that an unknown army had arrived from the west of Shanyue.The sudden appearance of such a troop made Zhao Lei have to be cautious. After he sent Wang Yue to investigate, he learned that this troop was led by a cave master from various caves in Shanyue. Specially brought a large army to help Zhao Lei destroy Dongyue.From this point of view, although Dongyue is powerful in the Shanyue clan, he is extremely unpopular!

In the afternoon, the subordinates sent by Shanyue Cave Master Tenuma also arrived, and immediately gathered [-] troops, of which Tenuma's army was [-], and Zhao Lei's army was [-].

The power of Tenuma is in the southwest of Shanyue, south and Dongyue, east and Xiyue, west and other caves in Shanyue, and there is a river in the north, with a radius of two thousand miles.There are [-] households, and the people are indigenous, with palaces, warehouses, and prisons.There are many mountains and mausoleums, Guangze, and the most flat area in the mountains and mountains. The place where they live is the area from the southern part of Hubei Province to the northern part of Guangxi Province.

Tjima is different from the two Shanyue kings, because he is not of the direct Shanyue lineage, so he proclaims himself the Cave Master. Under the Cave Master, there are seven official positions, all of which are named after the traditional names of Shanyue. There are seven permanent official positions: Great King, Great Fighter, Sage, and Messenger of the Poison Emperor.

Among them, the shaman has the most power, and often asks astrology and divination for the Shanyue clan, but this is not like the shaman around Boone who deceives people. Those shamans have really mastered some divination techniques.The role of the Great King is to govern government affairs; the Great Fighter is equivalent to the general, and the sage is responsible for military affairs; the Poison Emperor is equivalent to the local prefect, managing the daily normal government affairs in the country; Run the prison.Finally, the priest is the god here, responsible for treating the wounded and spreading medical skills.In addition, Tenuma's ruling philosophy pays special attention to diplomacy, and a special department is set up to be in charge of diplomacy.

At the beginning of April, Wuxi City was peaceful. Zhao Lei got to know Tenuma under the recommendation of Wang Yue, and held a feast for Tenuma and his relatives.

Shanyue people have a habit of not seeing others eat horse meat, rabbit meat, cabbage and tofu.After Zhao Lei learned about these things from Xiao Qiao, he ordered the back kitchen not to cook horse meat, rabbit meat, cabbage, tofu and other dishes, and asked them to get some poisonous snakes from the swamp pool to remove the venom and snake gall Finally, the snake was made into snake soup. As soon as this delicacy came out of the pot, it immediately attracted the praise of Nanyue and other tribes led by Tenuma. They had never eaten such a delicious thing, and they shouted loudly. "One more bowl" in Chinese that is not very proficient, made Zhao Lei and other Han people present burst into laughter.

Nanyue people really like to make friends and are very honest with people. Hearing that Zhao Lei is the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, Tenuma led all the people to kneel down in front of Zhao Lei and prayed to Zhao Lei in their own language.

Zhao Lei is very polite to the South Vietnamese. Although the South Vietnamese and the East Vietnamese are basically the same in terms of language and behavior, the South Vietnamese are very peace-loving and never copy other countries at will.At the banquet, Zhao Lei also learned that the Nanyue people attached great importance to animal husbandry, and at the same time learned that the Nanyue people were good at taming wild animals.The South Vietnamese also hunted, but more importantly, they focused on agricultural production and also planted five grains. They can be regarded as a country that mainly focuses on farming and animal husbandry, supplemented by hunting.

When the wine was full of joy, Zhao Lei suddenly said: "If I have time, I would like to invite Mrs. Tenuma to visit Moling together, and let you see how we Han people engage in agricultural production. Since your country attaches so much importance For farming and animal husbandry, why not reclaim wasteland for planting and build pastures for raising?"

Tenuma said: "The general does not know that although we have a large population in South Vietnam, most of them are women, and there are few young and strong men, so we cannot engage in excessive labor production, and we cannot carry out large-scale planting and ranching. "

Zhao Lei thought for a while and asked hastily: "Lord Tenuma, my population in Yangzhou is close to 200 million, but the area of ​​arable land is not ideal. If the black soil in your country is reclaimed, it will definitely become a land of fish and rice. I want to move some of them. I don’t know how Lord Tenuma thinks about people coming to your country to farm and raise them.”

Tenuma said helplessly: "I can't make the decision on this matter. We have to ask our shaman. Only the shaman can make a decision after praying to the gods."

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Hehe, after this matter is over, please go back and ask your shaman for instructions, Lord Tenuma. I will also send envoys to your country and send gifts. I hope our two families can get along well."

Tenuma said: "I understand what the general means. In fact, we South Vietnamese also hope to have a permanent alliance with the big man."

Zhao Lei laughed and said: "It's easy to say, as long as I am alive, we will never have a war, only Meng Hao, Lord Tenuma, cheers."

"Cheers." Tenuma also raised his glass and said with a smile.At dawn, when the sun has just emerged from behind the gray mountaintops, the warmth of its first rays communicates with the coolness of the dying night, and makes one feel a sweet weariness.

The joyous dawn had not yet reached the canyon, but it had already tinted the tops of the cliffs on both sides with a bright yellow color, and the dense leafy bushes that grew in the deep clefts of the rocks, when a breeze blew, sprinkled a silver rain on the valley. on us.

On the surface of the Hunjiang River, there is a river of morning fog, which reduces the smell a bit.The clear blue sky is scattered here and there, and there are only a few very thin clear clouds in a few places.A ray of cold wind blows away the fog net in the middle of the river, revealing many kinds of fishing boats on the white water.

Forty thousand soldiers of the Yangzhou Army and Nanyue Kingdom hurriedly boarded the boat, sailed down the Hun River, and headed for the Shanyue City of the East Yue people.

The capital of East Vietnam is called Shanyue City, which is located in the south of Fujian Province. It is located in the plains and borders the East China Sea. It is the second capital of East Vietnam besides Wuxi City. It is also the political, cultural, economic and military center of East Vietnam. For the East Vietnamese, it is very meaningful.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhao Lei looked at the towering green peaks on both banks, the beautiful scenery, and the winding river, feeling very happy in his heart.

Behind him stood Zhang Han, Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Xiao Qiao, Lei Mu, Wang Yue and others. Everyone was very excited as they floated along the river with their small fishing boats.

"If there is no obstruction on the road, we should be able to reach Shanyue City by this time tomorrow." Xiao Qiao said softly to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei turned around and saw hundreds of boats floating on the river behind him. He couldn't help showing a bit of respect to the Nanyue people for getting so many boats in such a short period of time.He was imagining that if these ships were ocean-going giants, he would be able to develop Australia, America, Africa and other places, and create an empire on which the sun never sets, just like Britain.

A cool breeze blew in front of him, messing up Zhao Lei's short hair. He had been thinking about a big event in his mind, how to govern the huge Yangzhou and its mountains after the destruction of Dongyue.Thinking about it, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"My lord, what are you thinking?" Xiao Qiao was more cautious, and seeing Zhao Lei's sad face, she asked, "Are you thinking about how to capture Shanyue City?"

Zhao Lei shook his head, sighed, and said lightly: "Shanyue City is a small place, although the Dongyue people fought bravely, but judging from the two battles, we can take a small plan to deal with them. Going down to Shanyue City. I was thinking, after Dongyue is destroyed, how to govern Dongyue and the many surrounding Shanyue who will surrender to our army."

When Jia Xu heard this, he clasped his hands and replied, "My lord, I think that Shanyue lives in a barren land with countless poisonous snakes and beasts, so it is not suitable for human habitation. It is better to move all the descendants to Yangzhou. , to enrich the Yangzhou account."

Zhao Lei smiled, but he didn't agree with Jia Xu's words in his heart, because Jia Xu had no idea how many invisible treasures were buried under the ground of this so-called barren land.So he just smiled and didn't speak, but looked at Lei Mu.

Lei Mu hurriedly said: "The total population of the Shanyue countries exceeds 150 million. If you want to move, it will be very troublesome. Moreover, the ancestors of the Shanyue countries have lived on this land for a long time. If you force them to move, I'm afraid it will backfire. I think that it is only necessary to leave suitable candidates to sit in Shanyue, and there is no need to work so hard."

Zhao Yun nodded and agreed with Lei Mu's point of view, but he didn't speak.
