Baiyue lived south of the Yangtze River for generations, crossed caves, and had more than 100,000 tribes, or Nanyue. During the Qin Dynasty, the Shihuang built Lingqu and conquered Lingnan, and first established counties and counties. It was considered Nanhai County. During the Han Dynasty, the country was in great strength, and the Yue tribe surrendered to the Heavenly Dynasty. By the end of the Han Dynasty, the country's power declined, and the Central Plains were in turmoil and heroes were in power. Among the counties in Lingnan, except for Jiaozhi, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling County Governors were still appointed by the imperial court, other places were occupied by the Yue tribe's clan commanders and powerful people.

At the end of October of the first year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, I personally led 2,000 elite troops out of Yuzhang to go up the Gan River and attacked Shanyue in the south. At the beginning, our army was prepared and attacked, and the morale was strong. The various divisions of Shanyue lacked response. They fought on their own. Our army often attacked less and the war went very smoothly.

However, as the war progressed, the Shanyue troops saw that they could not fight hard with me, so they adopted the strategy of clearing the strong walls, resisting together, abandoning the small and defending the big, and concentrating their troops to defend the city without leaving. It was impossible for our army to find an opportunity to fight to the decisive battle. If we want to attack, the troops are insufficient.

At the same time, our army's rear supply line is always under enemy attacks. The military rations and weapons supply are not sufficiently guaranteed, and it is almost impossible to increase troops to support. Yu Zhang itself is extremely unstable and needs enough troops to defend. If he retreats, he will not even be able to conquer Sun Ce and compete with the Central Plains. Wouldn't it be more of a fool?

Advance and retreat only means valley. It is very appropriate to use these four words to describe my mood.

Just as I was frowning, a military soldier under the tent reported that an envoy from Yue tribe asked for a visit.

What is the purpose of the enemy sending envoys to fight?

I was secretly confused, but I saw a roll of the tent door. A man came in from outside. He was not tall and had a hundred feathers on his head. He was wearing Yue clan costumes. Looking at his face, he looked very handsome, extremely handsome, and extremely heroic.

This person is nothing but Musa.

Musha came to receive the reward with the head of Zhu Rong. Today, as an envoy of the Yue tribe, I wonder what medicine he bought in his gourd?

When Musha saw me, he gave a tribute first and said, "Musha, the envoy of Luling tribe of Baiyue, met the general!"

Seeing that Musha was very polite and did not make things difficult for him, I ordered him to set up a seat and said, "Please sit down!"

Musha smiled and said, "Thank you! I am here to help General. Can the general have the leisure to listen?"

I said, "I wish to hear it carefully!"

Musha said: "The customs of the people of Yue like to attack each other. There are many tribes in a hundred miles. If the sun and moon are clear, this is a scattered sand, which is not worth fearing. However, since the general's southern expedition, all the leaders of Yue are in danger, so they have joined forces to join forces and rely on each other. This is a gathering tower, even if there are divine weapons, they are indestructible! This is the reason for the general's trap."

When I heard Musha tell the key points, I couldn't help but be surprised that there were such people among the Yue clan.

Musa looked at me and continued, "If the general wants to solve the problem, he should be..." Musa spoke to the critical place, but stopped speaking.

I was worried that the army was trapped in Lingnan and could not think of a good plan. At this time, I could no longer hold back when I heard Musha's words, and asked, "How should I do it?"

Musha smiled and said, "If the general is sincere, he needs to do three things before hearing the strategy!"

I had already been lost by Musa at this time, thinking that I would not say three things, as long as I can solve the current difficulties, I will follow you in thirty things. Anyway, even if I agree to you, if I can't do it according to my ability, it will not be considered a truthful statement.

I said, "If I can do it according to my ability, I will respond!"

Musha said: "Okay, happy! The first thing I want you to reach a reconciliation with our troops and immediately withdraw troops from Lingnan; the second thing I want you to report to the Han Dynasty and open up another county in Lingnan, and use my "Luling" as the county name, and the county magistrate is also led by my tribe; the third thing I have not yet thought about, and I will think of it one day, and I will tell you, now you agree."

What condition is this? If I agree, wouldn’t I be ridiculed by the heroes of the world? Thinking of this, my face was already gloomy, and I rushed up angry and shouted: “Come on, take this person down, how can my great men be ridiculed at will?”

When the soldiers on both sides heard this, they rushed forward.

Seeing this, Musha quickly waved his hand and said, "General, don't be angry, please listen to my detailed explanation. First, I want you to withdraw troops from Lingnan now, to confuse the Baiyue tribes, to disintegrate the alliance, and to divide and govern them, and to defeat them one by one. The general can retreat troops while secretly forming troops to attack the stubborn enemy. Second, the people of Lingnan are fierce, and the tribes are connected with blood. If the general sends people to govern it, the Han and Yue tribes have different customs. If the government orders are not smooth and contrary to the folk customs, the people will be dissatisfied. Therefore, I want you to report to establish Luling County and use our tribe as the county magistrate. This is the reward for our division to assist the general in pacifying Lingnan, and the second is the long-term plan to pacify Lingnan. The general can think about it twice. As for the third, I think the general has a large amount of his heart, so he will not even be able to hear a joke!"

After Musa said this, I felt a little ashamed. I was so impatient that I was so impatient that if Musa deliberately teased her, why would she risk running to the enemy's barracks?

The more you control the more you control, this is a good idea.

With the secret support of the Luling tribe, it is just around the corner to defeat Shanyue.

While I was happy, I was still a little worried and said, "The Han and Yue tribes have been attacking continuously for many years, and the people have hated each other and have deep resentment. Your tribe has now abandoned national friendship and secretly communicated with our army. If the tribe members know it, how can they be compatible?"

Musha said: "The Han and Yue attacked each other, and the general only knew one thing, but not the other. For decades, the Baiyue tribes have been driven by profit and have been conquering each other. It is even worse than that between the Han and Yue tribes. My Luling tribe is a small tribe among the Baiyue tribes. If we do not take advantage of the situation, we will sooner or later be merged by most tribes, and our relatives will become slaves. Instead of doing so, it is better to gamble. If the general is willing to follow the conditions I have proposed, my Luling tribe can be above the various tribes and lead the Yue tribe. Compared with this result, do you think what I do?"

I was silent. It was indeed from the standpoint of the bystander. You could accuse Musa of his behavior of selling tribes and seeking honor, but if you think from their perspective, survival will always be more realistic than anything else illusory.

For Musa and his tribe, this may be their only choice to get rid of their annexed fate.

I have no reason not to agree to Musa’s conditions.

If I still want to make a difference.

For me, this is the only option.

The current situation of our army is like a piece of idiot, it’s really boring, it’s a pity to abandon it. Musa may be looking at my weakness and asking for a price all over the place.

Of course, if you agree without additional conditions, it would be too cheap to stand in front of me and stand in front of me. I said in a deep voice: "Luling belongs to a small tribe among the Shanyue tribes, with little power. Even if you can secretly submit to me, it will not be of great help. How can I believe that Luling tribe has the strength to make friends with me?"

Musha smiled and spring was blooming on the corners of her eyes, like peach blossoms blooming. I didn’t expect there was such a beautiful boy in the world, and he was not as good as Zhou Lang. Zhou Yu made people feel heroic and majestic, but Musha was another kind of indescribable beauty. This beauty was a hint of charm, and I couldn’t help but feel aroused in my heart.

Musha said: "Ten days later, Lieutenant General Luling City will hold an extremely grand banquet. All the leaders of the Yue tribe and their trusted subordinates will come to attend. I wonder if the general is interested in attending this feast?"

Musha's words were really earth-shaking. For me, this was definitely a very valuable news. A thought flashed through my mind. If we cannot fight quickly in the military, why not find a direction to break the enemy on other stages? If we can join forces with the Luling tribes and take the opportunity to kill the leaders of the Yue tribes in one fell swoop, we can catch all the people in power in each tribe, so that all the elites will be lost. If we are not good, it will greatly damage our vitality and be unable to compete with me again.

I asked, "What kind of banquet is it? Can the leaders of various tribes be summoned?"

Musha chuckled and said, "You're going to know when the general is here?"

Musa is clearly testing my courage and courage. If I don’t respond, it will make him laugh.

While I was thinking, Musha said again: "Of course, if the general is afraid of a trap or an ambush, just think that I didn't come this time?"

I saw Musha’s face seemingly smiling, and there was a faint sarcasm. When I heard his tone implicit contempt, my mind felt hot. I was a seven-foot man, how could I be scared by Yue people by a few words, so I couldn’t help but feel angry and shouted angrily: “Okay, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can I get a tiger’s son? I will go to the banquet at Luling ten days later!”

When Musha heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "In this way, I will wait for the general in the city!"

The next step is to discuss the specific details of how to sneak into Luling City. Musa obviously had a detailed arrangement before meeting me. I just had to listen to him and say what to do. According to the plan, the first thing I had to do was to withdraw troops from the Lingnan line within three days.

The autumn was clear and cool, with a hint of coolness. Following the agreement with Musa, our army retreated northward, and along the way was blocked by various troops of Shanyue. The situation was in a mess, and the soldiers were listless and their morale was low.

You can see the majestic city walls of Yuzhang from afar, but I feel a lot of emotion in my heart. It has been a long time since Yuzhang came. The previous few times I had brought the victorious army back here, but this time it was futile and even very embarrassed. Although I did not suffer any major losses, after this time, the confidence of the soldiers was greatly hit, and it was difficult to recover to the previous sharpness.

This is the price I paid for my youthful impulse.

If we are not aware of the enemy and the terrain is not familiar with each other, we will blindly fight south. It is a lucky thing to not lose.

After several days of returning to Yuzhang, I sent a variety of tricks to sneak into Lingnan to inquire about the news of the Shanyue tribes. The news reported was almost like a retreat. Almost all the leaders of the Shanyue tribes were rushing to Luling City. It seemed that Musa did not lie to me.

The choice was placed in front of me, but there was only one choice I could choose.

Take a risk again.

But this time, with the Luling tribe's side response, I will no longer fight alone.

The Yue tribe guide sent by Musa to pick him up had arrived in Yuzhang City. According to the previously agreed plan, we pretended to be a caravan selling private salt and went up the Gan River to Luling City. Before I set off, two teams had set off as caravans. There were people from Luling tribes who were picking him up along the way, so there should be no problem with safety.

This time, less than a hundred people accompanied me. Although there were not many people, they were all warriors I selected from the team. They could block ten. When it comes to the critical moment, they are my trump card.

Luling is located in the middle of the Gan River, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. It crosses the throat channel between the counties of Lingnan and Changsha. It can be traced to the Ganjiang River and connects Lingnan. At the bottom, it can spread Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River. To the south, it is Xichang, Gaochang, Shiyang and Baqiu. To the east, it is Nanye, Dongchang and Xinxing three Shanyue tribes. To the west of Luling are Jiyang, Xingping and Old City. It can be said that Luling is located in the center of the Baiyue tribes. Whoever owns Luling will have the initiative in Lingnan.

When the caravan arrived in Luling, it was October 27th. The night was getting late, and the moon was on the top of the forest. The lights were brightly lit at the top of Luling City. It seemed that there was something happy to celebrate. When our group approached the city gate, the guide took a feather of white feather from his waist and lit it up at the guards. When the guard saw Bai Yu, he looked respectful and let us enter the city without conducting any more investigations.

Since the Qin Dynasty established the county management in Lingnan, Han and Yue have been living together for decades. The current Yue people have only different clothing from the Han people, but their appearance is almost no different from that of the Han people.

Luling City was crowded and crowded. In addition to the Yue people, there were also some merchants who were like me who also watched the fun. Our group followed the crowd and finally squeezed across the long street. It took almost half an hour to ask the guide, "What kind of happy events are there in the city? It's so lively?"

The Yue tribe guide said proudly: "Don't you know? Tomorrow, October 28th, is the day when our Noble and beautiful princess of the Luling tribe invites her to marry. According to the customs of the Yue tribe, after getting married, the princess took off the veil from her face. Everyone gathered in Luling City to compete for the princess' peerless beauty!"

The guide took us into an inn. The two teams that arrived first had been waiting here for a long time. They had already changed into the costumes of a young man from Yue. Musa did not show up for some reason, which made me feel a little uneasy about tomorrow's actions. If I fail, with the power of a hundred people, I would have almost impossible to escape the siege and return to Yuzhang.

So, tomorrow I can only win, not lose.

Hope Musa didn't lie to me.

I prayed silently in my heart, although I didn't believe that there was really God.
Chapter completed!
