Chapter 486 The Father of Mountain Guerrilla Warfare
If he had been born thirty years earlier, this translator of the Song Dynasty who could unite the conflicting Baiyue, might have been the first generation of the Ming Dynasty. He might have the opportunity to unify the Baiyue. The monolithic Baiyue, relying on the terrain and climate here,
It is not so easy to be defeated. Unfortunately, he was born in a least ideal era. In this era, in the land of China, it seems that all civilizations have a vague trend towards unification.
Needless to say, in the Central Plains region, one emperor has commanded the world through the ages, his chariots tracked the same track, and his books shared the same text. However, in the nomadic areas, Mao Dun appeared. After Mao Dun grew up, he unified all the Chinese soil outside the Great Wall. In the southern region,
Then there was Yi Xu Song. Compared with the previous two, Yi Xu Song was quite different and seemed not worth mentioning. However, as the person who united Baiyue for the first time, he set a precedent for the subsequent King of Nanyue.
, kicked off the unification of southwest China.
Whether it is the cultivated areas in the Central Plains, the nomadic areas in the north, or the mountainous areas in the southwest, they are all part of the Chinese civilization. The five thousand years of Chinese civilization is the result of mutual influence and was created jointly by people from all over the country...especially
It is this remote corner of the southwest, and the civilization sites unearthed here in the future will prove the brilliance of Chinese civilization. But the shapeless hero of the Song Dynasty died on the battlefield before he had time to release light and heat.
His death in battle was a big event for Baiyue. Baiyue gathered under his command and formed an alliance to jointly resist Qin. After his death in battle, the Baiyue Alliance lost its leader.
The tribes that gathered in various mountainous areas to resist the Qin State quickly disintegrated and began to fight on their own. This made the Qin Army advance faster. Zhao Kang stabilized while advancing, quickly opening the road to the southwest.
For the first time, Zhao Kang opened the road between the remote corner of the southwest and the Central Plains. He called on the people to build the road, which closely connected the two. In terms of this alone, Zhao Kang's contribution is very huge. Translation of Song Dynasty
He died in the battle, but the war continued. Zhao Kang's purpose also changed from simply destroying Baiyue to unifying the southwest. Zhao Kang realized that he could not just eliminate the enemies here, but also completely turn this place into the state of Qin.
of land.
This is the same as when the Qin State conquered the barbarians of Bashu. The Qin State also encountered terrain problems when it conquered Bashu. In order to make Bashu a part of the Qin State, the Qin State spent a huge amount of money to build roads in Bashu.
Although this road was not easy to travel, Bashu has since established a stable connection with the Central Plains. The Qin State built water canals here, managed the local area, and successfully turned this place into the granary of the Qin State.
Today's southwest also has a lot of potential. Although it has not been developed and seems a bit wild, it still has sufficient forest resources. The mountain forest has always been a national treasure, and its role is no less than that of the plains... Zhao Kang once again
Submitted a letter, requesting the Chu region to send more manpower, open a road to the southwest, and build more post stations and residential buildings, so as to effectively control the local area.
The Chu region also sent a lot of criminals to the southwest corner to develop this place. The Qin State's corvee has always liked to use criminals and son-in-laws. These people serve as the main force in developing the border areas. This does not happen in a day or two.
That's it. Today's Qin State has not built those wonders and its national strength is constantly being replenished. Therefore, there is sufficient food and manpower. It is not difficult for Qin State to use corvees to develop the border areas.
Zhao Kang moved forward slowly like this. He no longer regarded military exploits as his primary goal. In a sense, his grand strategy had surpassed Tu Sui, who was responsible for conquering Baiyue in the original historical line. In the original historical line, Tu Sui was responsible for conquering Baiyue.
Sui led 500,000 troops recruited from various places to attack Baiyue. The war lasted for five years and was bloody. More than half of South Vietnam's population was wiped out, and Qin also suffered more than 100,000 casualties.
After Tu Sui was killed, Ren Xiao, who took his place, changed his original strategy. He not only wanted to defeat the enemy, but also began to build canals and roads, and then slowly swallowed up the entire southwest corner. Of course, Zhao Kang did not know this
, he came from a kind of battlefield instinct. As Zhao Kang grew up, his battlefield instinct also began to rise from a single battlefield to a comprehensive battle. Now he is truly qualified to serve as a commander, and
Not a general.
Yi Xusong died in battle, and Jie Jun, who learned of his death, did not eat a bite of food for two whole days... Surprisingly, he was not furious, did not scream for revenge for his brother, and did not curse the person who killed his brother.
Those Qin people, he was very calm. After two days, he returned to his previous appearance, eating and drinking. He seemed not to take the death of his brother into consideration at all. The previous leader passed away, and the Baiyue Alliance needed a new one.
's leader.
It's a pity that among Baiyue, there is no one as prestigious as Yi Xusong who can make all the tribes willing to follow him. Under such circumstances, the Baiyue tribe is increasingly likely to fall apart.
, a minister of Xiou thought of a solution. He sent envoys to all the tribes and expressed his thoughts. Since no one can take over the position of Yi Xusong, the Baiyue Alliance should not establish a monarch and elect a monarch.
A general came to command the Baiyue army.
A general can command the army, but he cannot command the leaders of each tribe. There is still a big difference between a king and a general. This proposal has also been recognized by the leaders of the tribes in Baiyue. Since no one can convince the crowd, then choose the best one.
Those who can fight can lead the army to fight. Just focus on fighting. The leaders will handle other matters themselves. It is not difficult to choose a general. During the negotiation between the tribal leaders, Jie Jun became the general of the Baiyue Alliance.
Jie Jun is probably the most capable general in Baiyue. During the period when he was assisting his brother, the tribes in Baiyue he defeated were all unable to raise their heads. Not only because of his own bravery, but also because of his commanding ability.
He is much higher than others. If Yi Xusong had not felt that he could not force unification through war, Jie Jun would have swept through Baiyue. Now, the brother who restricted him is no longer there. Jie Jun
Jun took over the burden and prepared to continue resisting.
Jie Jun summoned his lieutenants and said seriously: "The Qin people have defeated us many times and killed our leader. At this moment, they must be full of confidence and ignore us. This is the only way we can defeat them."
Opportunity. If the Yue people are on the plains, they are not the opponents of the Qin people, but we are not without advantages. We are good at climbing mountains and crossing ridges, and we are good at driving boats. We must make use of the high mountains and dense forests and the watery and deep valleys to compete with the Qin people.
People fight..."
"We cannot fight the Qin people directly. I am going to ask you to go to various places on the mountain road to attack the Qin army and supply lines at night. The Qin army is huge and the battle line is long... I have a few suggestions. Please keep them in mind in case the enemy pursues you.
When the enemy is tired, flee immediately, attack when the enemy is tired, and pursue the enemy when they retreat..." Jie Jun personally set up twenty-seven attack locations, dispersed the Vietnamese troops at various strongholds on the front, and ordered
The attack began at the same time.
Yes, this Jie Jun is a very powerful guerrilla general. The first person in China to propose guerrilla warfare was Wu Zixu. King Helu of Wu was preparing to attack Chu and adopted Wu Zixu's suggestion of first exhausting Chu and then fighting decisively.
First, some troops were sent to many places in the Chu State to harass the Chu army with guerrilla warfare for six years, causing the Chu army to be exhausted. Then, the main force was sent into Chu for a decisive battle and defeated the Chu army.
The first appearance of mountain guerrilla warfare was pioneered by Jie Jun. On the real historical line, when this general was fighting against the Qin State, he realized that ordinary defensive counterattacks were useless, so he adopted flexible tactics
, adopted mountain guerrilla methods, which made the huge Qin army beaten everywhere and confused... At the same time, even Tu Sui died in his hands, and only then did Ren Xiao take over Tu Sui's position.
If Wu Zixu is the father of guerrilla warfare in ancient China, then Jie Jun is definitely the father of mountain guerrilla warfare in ancient China. What? You say he is not Chinese? He is a serious native of Xiou (Guangxi). Details
It is estimated that he is probably a guest from Guangxi... Even Maodun is also from Inner Mongolia. To be precise, he is from Bayannaoer, Inner Mongolia. However, this is viewed from a later perspective. At this moment, the concept of Greater China
It has not yet appeared, but the mutual influence of cultures has already begun.
After Jie Jun became general, the situation changed somewhat. Large-scale and organized guerrilla warfare in the mountains, combined with the Yue people's life experience here, indeed caused the Qin army to suffer some hardships. Several important salt-producing areas were also destroyed.
Zhao Kang was not impatient when the Yue people took it back. What he cared about was not the local battlefields within a period of time. What he cared about was this big battle. The road was being opened little by little. Sooner or later, the Yue people would be finished. What he cared about was
It's just to reduce the casualties on your side.
Zhao Kang's order was to build roads while advancing. Zhao Kang even planned to build a water canal here, called Ling Canal. After the construction of this canal, many problems will be solved, and food will no longer trouble the troops at the front.
, went to fight, but started to build channels. Such behavior was something only Zhao Kang could do. He was like a prefect in the southwest region, not like a general who came to conquer.
Faced with these orders from Zhao Kang, Wang Ben didn't have any other ideas. Zhao Kang wanted to slowly occupy the southwest, so Wang Ben led the army to protect the civilians so that they could complete the projects quickly and go deeper.
General Tu Sui, who was in the enemy's territory, couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't understand why Zhao Kang was so cautious in the face of such a weak enemy and why it took so long. According to Zhao Kang's idea, the roads and canals were built.
, wouldn’t it take two or three years to wait?
It’s just tens of thousands of barbarians, so why bother??
He went too deep, because the soldiers were very unaccustomed to the climate here, resulting in a large number of casualties among the soldiers. This made Tu Sui very angry. Zhao Kang asked him to withdraw, but he did not want to give up his current advantage. After withdrawing, he continued
Confrontation? Isn't it just the same as killing people? There will be more deaths. Tu Sui decided to take advantage of the enemy's leader to die in the battle to directly attack Xiyue, completely wipe out the main body of Baiyue, and end this painful war.
Ren Xiao had always obeyed Tu Sui's orders and didn't say much. Instead, Zhao Tuo, a young captain in the army, came to see Tu Sui. The young man said: "I heard that he chopped down a hundred people with a dull axe."
Once, I cut down a big tree. This method is inefficient and can easily cause the ax to break. Nowadays, Ma Fujun is building roads in various places and clearing roads in the mountains. This is sharpening his ax. You should obey his orders and not attack rashly.
ah."
Tu Sui was very angry and criticized harshly: "How can a child who has not grown up know the truth?!"
Zhao Tuo had no choice but to write to Zhao Kang, hoping that he could stop General Sui's actions.
After Zhao Tuo's persuasion failed, Tu Sui directly launched a general offensive against Western Vietnam. Relying on the Qin people's experience in fighting in the mountains over the years, he defeated several Yue troops who wanted to stop him. After fighting with Zhao Tuo
Different from what they thought, these Yue people collapsed at the first touch. It seemed as if the death of their leader caused them to lose all their fighting power. In front of the Qin army, they could not even resist for a moment and continued to be defeated.
Such a defeat greatly strengthened Tu Sui's confidence. After countless pursuits, he even reached the original station of Xiyue and captured all of it. Then, he continued to pursue the enemy in the direction of retreat.
At this time, even Zhao Tuo had no way to persuade him. After all, the war situation was so favorable and Xiyue was about to be destroyed. After the destruction of Xiyue, Baiyue would have lost its middle power and could no longer resist.
General Tu Sui fought consecutive battles without thinking about whether this could be a treacherous trick of the Yue people. His combat experience with the Yue people over the years told him that the Yue people's battlefield was very backward, and their generals didn't understand anything.
Ambushes are full of loopholes. How could such a person come up with any strategy? As for guerrilla warfare, he simply regarded it as the mountain warfare experience of the Yue people and did not pay attention to it.
Watching the hunter walking into his trap step by step, Jie Jun's eyes became colder and colder.
Tu Sui won another victory. Although not many Yue people were killed, he had driven the Western Vietnamese out of their homeland. The war would be over soon. Tu Sui completed the encirclement of the Yue people.
As long as they occupied this place, Baiyue would be besieged by the three generals of the Qin State, and its destruction was only a matter of time. General Tu Sui rewarded the army and rested for three days. The scouts found the enemy again, and Tu Sui hurriedly led his people
Chase.
The sky was getting dark, and the Qin army could already see some materials abandoned by the Yue people. This made Tu Sui even more certain that he would soon catch up with his enemies. Tu Sui personally led the soldiers and ignored the night.
, continued the pursuit... When Tu Sui came to a narrow mountain road, he was startled and realized something was wrong. If the Yue people were fleeing, how could they pass through such a narrow road? Those tribal people were not
Qingzhuang, how can you get through here??
Tu Sui realized something was wrong and hurriedly shouted: "Get out!"
Unfortunately, he realized it too late. Countless Yue people emerged from the mountains on both sides. Falling rocks and arrows hit the Qin army. At that moment, the war started again. The number of Yue people was very large. Not
There were 20,000 to 30,000 people fighting in a small way, but here in Tusui, more than 20,000 Northern troops and more than 30,000 civilians in the rear were trapped in this road. They could only be beaten but could not fight back!
The Qin army retreated quickly, but the Yue people were not prepared to let go of such an opportunity. Jie Jun shouted and organized an attack on the Qin people. He drew his bow and arrow and shot at the enemy general. That was where
For a moment, Tu Sui groaned several times, and the severe pain in his back made him realize that he had been hit by an arrow, and the wound quickly began to itch. It was a poisonous arrow! Tu Sui endured the pain and hurriedly evacuated with his soldiers.
Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were responsible for breaking up the rear, and they quickly organized a counterattack. The war lasted for more than half an hour. The Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and the general Tu Sui fell into a coma. His life and death were unknown. The Yue people finally won their first victory. Jie
After Jun defeated the Qin army, he quickly retreated without even clearing the battlefield... Ren Xiao could only temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief. He took Tu Sui back to his original station. Tu Sui remained unconscious due to the continuous high fever.
Awake.
He carried it like this for three days, and on the fourth day, he finally stopped breathing.
The third army of Qin State suffered such a blow, and its morale was low. After Zhao Kang learned about it, he hurriedly led his main force to advance towards West Vietnam. On the other side, Wang Ben also accelerated his attack.
Advancing speed, I want to join forces with Zhao Kang as early as possible.
