"You mean, you are from Shanyue? Are you from Kuaiji?"
After some questioning, Xiang Ji was confused.
How could the Shanyue people from Kuaiji run to the Central Plains so well?
You know, this is really thousands of miles apart.
"Reporting to your Majesty, we were killed all the way by Generals Lu Meng and Lu Ziming of Chu State!"
Lu Meng!?
Xiang Ji probably understood what Pan Lin was saying about Lu Meng of Chu.
Thinking about it, Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai and others should have almost cleared Jiangdong.
But why would you attack this Shanyue man?
After some questioning, Xiang Ji finally understood the reason.
It turns out that after Xiang Ji left with the Canglong Cavalry, Zhou Tai and Zhao Yun separated their forces.
All the way south, all the way west.
The army heading south was led by Zhou Tai, with Lu Meng as his deputy.
After several months of liquidation, the remaining forces in Soochow have basically disappeared.
Immediately, Zhou Tai began to attack the Jiangdong clan.
After wiping out several big clans, Jiangdong fell into complete chaos.
You know, the land of Jiangdong is a place where clans gather together.
After the leading families were wiped out, everyone was really in danger, fearing that soldiers from the Chu Kingdom would suddenly appear in front of their door one early morning.
But now both water and land routes have been controlled by the Chu army, and the clan really has nowhere to escape.
The desperate clans fought back.
First, various assassins were sent to assassinate the generals of the Chu army.
Although no major losses were caused, several Chu army generals died at the hands of the assassins.
And this completely angered Zhou Tai, a fool.
With a wave of the serrated blade, the Chu army began to completely liquidate the Jiangdong clan.
This time, the conflict was completely aroused.
Countless clans began to create chaos throughout Jiangdong.
Every day, innocent people are killed by weapons, and every day, reports of fires in various food storage areas come to Zhou Tai's case.
This caused this rough and tumble man to completely collapse.
Why? Why can’t these clans kill them all? Why do these clans resist more fiercely the more they kill? Aren’t they afraid?
But how does Zhou Tai know, what is the meaning of the phrase "too much is not enough"?
If he hadn't pushed the clan too hard, how could those guys who were greedy for life and fearful of death have fought against him?
Fortunately, the leaders were just fools like Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.
As a smart man, Lu Meng naturally saw the problem.
After Zhou Tai was completely helpless, Lu Meng successfully took command of the army.
Immediately, Lu Meng ordered the Chu army to shrink and not carry out any forced killings against the clan.
When the Chu army retreated to Wu Commandery, the Jiangdong clans became excited.
Is this a victory?
Have those demons from the Chu Kingdom finally given up? Or are they just playing hard to get?
The Kodong clan, who were afraid of being killed, did not dare to be careless, but those sabotage activities did stop.
After all, the Chu army has already given in, so if you want to harass them, are you worried that they will die too slowly?
After waiting for several months, the clansmen learned through constant inquiring that the northern front of Chu State was tight. The Chu army from Jiangdong had rushed to support, and the Chu army that stayed here was almost in an empty camp.
The Jiangdong clan went completely crazy.
After victory, the family property was finally saved, and the Chu army gave up.
Yes, if the Chu army does not give up, then even if the northern front is tight, there will not be only a few guards left.
This is obviously a compromise to the clan.
This is telling them that as long as you calm down, our Chu army will not touch you at all.
The relaxed clans returned to their usual lives.
Even those who are wise or have a strong sense of crisis are only nervously preparing for the relocation of their entire clan.
But they never knew that this was all Lu Meng's plan.
The so-called tension on the northern front was just spread deliberately by Lu Meng.
And the Chu army did retreat.
As soon as he retreated, Lu Meng simply let all the Chu troops gather near Jianye.
But how do the clans located in the south of Wu County know all this?
Finally, after discovering that the clans had completely relaxed their vigilance, Lu Meng gave the order.
Tens of thousands of Chu troops appeared in front of the Jiangdong clans with thunderous force, and they were completely unprepared and wiped out their families one by one.
In just this battle, the Jiangdong clan was almost wiped out.
The few remaining clans had no hope at present, but they started to work as traitors.
Through the communication of servants, the clans contacted the Shanyue people south of Kuaiji.
After contacting each other, the two parties hit it off immediately.
In order to take revenge and survive in a desperate situation, the clan lured the Shanyue people to invade Han and massacre the people.
The Shanyue people were happy to be the vanguard of their clan for the money, food, women, and everything else of the Han Dynasty.
By the time Lu Meng got the news, the Shanyue people's army had been introduced into the hinterland of Jiangdong by the clan.
Dozens of towns and villages have been plundered by Shanyue people.
The Qingzhuang either died at the hands of the Shanyue people or became captive slaves.
Women have become tools for the Shanyue people to vent their animal desires.
All the young and old were slaughtered by the Shanyue people.
Cities and villages were burned.
Seeing this, Lu Meng was angry, Zhou Tai was angry, Jiang Qin was angry, and all the Chu soldiers were angry.
When an ordinary man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps away. When an emperor is angry, his body will be buried thousands of miles away.
Although Lü Meng was neither a man nor an emperor, Lü Meng led the Chu army under the command of King Chu.
Under the leadership of the angry Lu Meng, the entire Chu army was dispatched to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Shanyue people.
Although the Shanyue people were brave, the Chu army was equally elite.
With equipment, training, and morale completely suppressed, the Shanyue people had no way of resisting.
From the 60,000 people who invaded, they were quickly killed by Lu Meng's Chu army to only 10,000 people left.
But even so, Lu Meng did not intend to let these mountain beasts go.
After chasing and killing all the way, when the Shanyue people withdrew to Kuaiji, most of the remaining 10,000 people were killed again.
The last few thousand Shanyue people dispersed completely, some fled to the hinterland of Shanyue, and some fled to the west.
There is also a small group that escaped into the hinterland of the Central Plains by chance.
What Xiang Ji encountered was a group of Shanyue defeated soldiers who had fled into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
When Xiang Ji heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red.
These mountain beasts deserve to be killed!
Those clans that tempted the Shanyue people to invade should be killed even more!
"Your Majesty, I have told you everything. Do you think I can leave now?"
Pan Lin became nervous when he noticed that Xiang Ji's expression was wrong.
How come you're so angry when you're so good?
Before Pan Lin could think about it, Xiang Ji had already responded to him. Without using a weapon, he punched Pan Lin in front of the door.
