Four hundred and ninetieth chapters raised their heads to meet death
Time flies by like a flash, and many times there is no time to react. When I look back, I am surprised by the passage of time. After Gan Luo agreed to the mission, he very calmly waited for the news from beyond the Great Wall, organized spies, and sent them to
Let them collect intelligence from various places and then organize and identify it. This will take several years and will definitely not be completed in a short time, but Gan Luo is not in a hurry at all.
In the past, he was anxious to show himself because he was worried that he would not have the chance to show himself if he did not take action. But now that Gan Luo has learned about the situation outside the Great Wall and understands how vast the world is, he is no longer in a hurry.
These diplomatic activities involve many regions and tribes, and sufficient preparations must be made. Today's preparations are not just to deal with the Yuezhi people, nor are they simply to open the way to the Western Regions. This is related to the next hundred years.
Exchanges and conflicts between Qin and foreign countries.
Compared with the contact with the Yuezhi people, the matter of spies is obviously more important. If Qin can have an intelligence network outside the Great Wall similar to the one in the six countries, Gan Luo feels that Qin's chances of winning foreign wars will increase tenfold.
!During this period, Qin's war in the southwest corner was also in full swing. After Zhao Kang realized the enemy's guerrilla warfare, he sent young Zhao Tuo to lead a mountain army to fight these people.
The rest of the army is to protect the civilians for development, building post stations, sentry towers, fortresses, and even cities in various places. There are no data points standing in the mountains and rivers. Zhao Tuo's army can get supplies everywhere, while Baiyue's army moves.
The scope was constantly being compressed, and there was no way to even supply supplies. Important supply points were occupied by Zhao Kang's men, and strongholds were built here to guard against Vietnamese attacks.
The Yue people are getting weaker and weaker, but under the leadership of Jie Jun, they are still resisting tenaciously, but the number of troops begins to decrease and is crumbling. In addition to being familiar with the place, this guerrilla warfare method also requires two
A very important factor. One of them is to have a firm belief, be able to overcome difficulties, not give up easily, and are unwilling to give up their hometown. The Baiyue people have such a firm belief. They originally wanted to hide in the mountains and forests and live among the beasts.
, and absolutely unwilling to surrender.
Another point is to have a mass base and be able to get the support of the masses. Baiyue cannot get this, because the masses in Baiyue have already been captured by Zhao Kang. After Zhao Kang captured these people, he
He did not use them to threaten the Baiyue army in the mountains and forests. He just let these Baiyue people settle down in the city that Qin had just built. Zhao Kang wanted to turn them all into Qin people.
The Baiyue army could not get any supplies in the mountains, and could not even contact the Baiyue people who were willing to support them. This caused the Baiyue army to become increasingly weak. Zhao Tuo took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, and even began to gain the upper hand in the mountains and forests.
He suppressed the opponent's army and fought fiercely. As the current general of the Baiyue Army, Jie Jun naturally understood how unfavorable the current battle situation was to him.
At first, his brother thought that delaying the enemy's advance was the best way to resolve the war, but now, delaying tactics have lost their effect. The enemy is building city strongholds bit by bit to fundamentally solve them. The longer the delay,
The Baiyue army became weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the Qin army began to gradually adapt to the climate here, and the supply lines were constantly opened, and even began to farm in the Baiyue area to obtain food locally. The war was very unfavorable.
This made Jie Jun have to rethink the future. There was no hope if he continued fighting in the mountains and forests. He did not expect that with the death of a general, the famous general Zhao Kang could still survive.
Maintaining this state of mind, he calmly began to encroach, and Zhao Kang became more and more proficient in his anti-guerrilla warfare. After several encirclement and suppression campaigns, more than half of the Baiyue army was killed or injured. They no longer had the strength to attack the Qin army again.
An important base.
Looking at the suffering soldiers under his command and the young people enduring hunger, Jie Jun finally gave up his mountain guerrilla tactics. He must be responsible for these people. He could not watch them die one by one in Qin Dynasty.
In the hands of others, Jie Jun had already begun to think about retreating. After thinking again and again, he decided to take his army to leave West Vietnam and go further south. Zhao Kang attacked the southwest. What he paid attention to was stability. He would never take risks
Then he moved forward to pursue him.
Over the years, Jie Jun and Zhao Kang have been fighting to the death, but they have developed a deep understanding of each other. They have spent their energy studying their enemies. Zhao Kang is very interested in the mountain guerrilla warfare proposed by Jie Jun.
, Zhao Kang even learned a lot from him. Jie Jun's attack warfare and mobile warfare are both good. Although it is limited to mountainous areas, this man is indeed an expert in mountain warfare.
Zhao Kang even believes that no one should be able to surpass him in terms of mountain warfare at the moment. Zhao Kang once wrote a book on establishing different local armies, and Jie Jun's performance in mountain warfare undoubtedly gave Zhao Kang great inspiration.
, everything Zhao Kang could see from him was recorded by him. Zhao Kang's book on the art of war became enriched because of this, and during the battle with Jie Jun, he was also constantly improving himself
.
In order to deal with his tactics, Zhao Kang developed new fighting methods, which gradually made Zhao Kang become more versatile, familiar with various tactics, and able to adapt to various battlefields. This is also thanks to the powerful Jie Jun, who is less than 10 years old.
Thirty-year-old Jie Jun is worthy of the title of the best warrior of Baiyue. He led an army of less than 50,000 people, and in the early stage, he was stunned when he defeated Zhao Kang, who had 100,000 Northern troops.
Zhao Kang once said to Ren Xiao, "Jie Jun, when fighting in the mountains, can exert the fighting power of Wu Anjun of Qin State, but once he is in the plains, he will not be as good as you. Therefore, facing such an enemy,
Of course, it is to drive them out of the mountains and forests, and let the other party fight with you on the battlefield that you are not good at. The way to drive them out of the mountains and forests is to cut off their supplies in the mountains and forests, by controlling water sources, salt, and food.
This kind of behavior is still very useful. Zhao Kang's blockade made Jie Jun unable to hold on any longer and could only leave here. Jie Jun was not convinced. If he could have an army of 100,000, he would not let Zhao Kang walk out of the forest alive.
...It is a pity that the Baiyue people with a population of less than 500,000 can only find less than 50,000 young people. The number of 100,000 is really an exaggeration for Baiyue.
In the original world line, Qin recruited an army of 500,000 to fight against Baiyue. After the leader of the alliance was killed, Jie Jun became the new leader, killed Tu Sui, and defeated the Qin army.
The Qin State's casualty rate reached one-fifth, which was a big loss suffered by the Qin State. Later, after Ren Xiao became the general of the Qin State, he succeeded in repelling the Baiyue Allied Forces by approaching step by step.
In today's time and space, Zhao Kang chose the most correct strategy from the beginning. In less than three years, he defeated Baiyue in name only, without costing the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers, and without spending five or six hundred thousand soldiers.
Years have passed. It is not easy for Jie Jun to leave Xiyue now. Zhao Kang has established a very strong blockade here, surrounded by Qin strongholds. It is simply impossible to break through.
In order to prevent Zhao Kang from escaping the blockade like he did in the past, it can be said that he blocked all the roads that could leave, including those cliffs, and arranged patrol soldiers to keep an eye on him. This was Jie Jun's own fault. He had repeatedly done so before.
Zhao Kang did his best to escape from the blockade and continue guerrilla warfare. Facing these monsters that could easily climb over the cliffs, Zhao Kang had to face these if he wanted to leave.
Jie Jun then tried several times. He was afraid that Zhao Kang would ambush him if he acted rashly. After all, he had been ambushed by Zhao Kang several times, so he took a dozen of his own soldiers and began to explore and try to climb over.
, but after more than a dozen attempts, he failed. He was either discovered by patrolling soldiers, or discovered the movements of the Qin Mountain Army in the distance, and was forced to give up.
In the mountain forest, there is dense green everywhere, and the sound of water flowing in the distance can be heard. Jie Jun lowers his head and walks carefully here. Every time he takes a step, he has to stop and take a look.
Around him, when he approached the woods, several skinny Yue people jumped out of the trees. They drew their bows and arrows. When they saw Jie Jun in front of them, they hurriedly put away their weapons, grinned and said: "
you are back!"
Jie Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were still there. He was worried that they would be attacked by the Qin people after he left. They used to attack the Qin people, but now, it was Zhao Tuo who led his army to attack them.
Jie Jun looked a little tired. He sighed... and walked towards his camp with his head lowered. The Yue people's camp was in the dense woods. Many Yue people were sitting on the ground, eating fruits. They didn't
If you dare to light a fire, you are afraid of being discovered by the enemy.
This made them look very weak. When they saw Jie Jun, they still stood up to greet him. Everyone was smiling and not defeated by the difficulties. Jie Jun still looked cold, pressing the people who came after him.
According to the statement, Jie Jun is obviously a somewhat arrogant general. He deeply loves his brother, his tribe, and his hometown, but he will not say it clearly and hides this love in his heart as his motivation to fight against Qin.
.
Jie Jun sat down, picked up the fruit, and ate it slowly. While eating, he was thinking about the route to break out. He seemed a little absent-minded. Several of his lieutenants also noticed his changes. A young lieutenant took the opportunity to sit down.
He came to his side and said: "General, have you still not found a way to break out this time?" Jie Jun trusted his soldiers very much, so he did not hide his thoughts. These people all knew what Jie Jun wanted.
do what.
"Yeah... I didn't find it. The Qin people blocked all the ways. Many Yue people became their guides... They told the Qin people all the passages." Jie Jun looked very angry.
, and the young man next to him was about to say something. When he heard Jie Jun's words, he became a little hesitant. He didn't know how to speak. Jie Jun glanced at him and asked the man next to him.
The warrior helped him fetch water and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My mother's tribe is also in the mountains on the west side of Vietnam... They are still there today... If you want to leave with your soldiers, I can go and convince them to help us privately...", he
Before he finished speaking, Jie Jun interrupted him and asked coldly: "Is that the tribe that first surrendered to Qin?" The young man was stunned, which seemed to make him a little ashamed. He lowered his head,
Said: "It's like this...The people of Qin trust them very much and let them continue to stay in their hometown..."
"You mean, let me intercede with a traitor and let the traitor help us?" Jie Jun said angrily with a straight face: "I will execute these traitors sooner or later!"
The young man said nothing more, just lowered his head and ate the fruit in his hand.
Jie Jun also fell silent. He looked around, at the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, at the soldiers who were stroking their bellies and almost unable to stand up due to hunger... He didn't want to see this, so he closed his eyes.
With his eyes closed, the sky gradually became dark... Even though Jie Jun closed his eyes tightly, he could still hear the miserable howls coming from outside. The Yue people were tortured so miserably, especially now, every day
During the night, a large number of soldiers died of illness and hunger.
At dawn, the young Yue man just got up and suddenly saw Jie Jun sitting in front of him. Jie Jun's eyes were red and he was staring at him. This frightened the young Yue man so much that he suddenly
He jumped up, and then calmed down, "General? What are you doing..." Jie Jun looked very tired, as if he hadn't slept all night. He looked at the young man in front of him with a particularly troubled expression.
It is not easy for such a proud man to bow his head, but as the soldiers began to cry for their friends and relatives who died last night, Jie Jun lowered his proud head and asked: "Yesterday
Are you confident that you can convince the tribe you mentioned?"
"The leader of their tribe is my mother's brother. I have absolute confidence!" After the young man realized that Jie Jun was willing to listen to his persuasion, he seemed a little excited. He hurriedly said: "They sent someone to contact me.
You want me to go back, but I don't want to leave... Although they surrendered to the Qin people, they were forced to do so. They did not have enough soldiers to protect themselves, so they surrendered helplessly. They are still Yue people, and their hearts are with us.
..."
"Then...just go find them...tell them that if they are willing to help, I will never forget their kindness..."
"General!! Don't worry! I swear to you! I will complete my mission!"
Jie Jun immediately began to wait for his news. He took out all the salt and food he had hidden and prepared to reward his soldiers. Next, his soldiers must take good care of themselves. Even if those people are not willing to help, they must
If we want to break through, we can't carry on like this any longer.
Fortunately, the young man came back soon. He seemed very happy and brought a lot of food. He said: "They agreed to help us. The leader respects you very much and wants to reward you personally."
You, they said they are willing to let us disguise ourselves as people from their tribe and sneak through the Qin blockade in the name of hunting..."
"Are they...reliable?"
"General, I assure you! They are absolutely reliable! They swore in the name of their ancestors and said they would never forget the identity of the Yue people! They will wait for you to come back again!"
Jie Jun looked at the soldiers grabbing food, nodded, and said: "Okay... then let's do it, I believe you."
The young man smiled and nodded, "Don't worry! Those are my relatives. Just as you believe in me, I also believe in them!"
.......
Zhao Kang looked at the disheveled Jie Jun in front of him in surprise. He really couldn't believe that his biggest opponent was sent in front of him like this. He even wondered if this could be Yue Ren's treacherous plan? He looked at it carefully.
Facing the burly Yue man in front of him, Jie Jun was covered in wounds. It looked like he had gone through a bloody battle. No part of his body was intact. He had his head drooped and was held down by two soldiers.
"Jie Jun?" Zhao Kang called in broken Vietnamese.
The prisoner slowly raised his head, his eyes were very scary, like a vicious wolf. At that moment, Zhao Kang was sure that the person in front of him was the Yue general. Several Yue people who surrendered to Qin also confirmed that this was Jie Jun. Zhao Kang
He didn't expect that something like this would happen. When a tribe sent him a message saying that they had captured Jie Jun, he still couldn't believe it. He didn't expect that Jie Jun was really caught.
This Jie Jun was also a big fool. He actually believed in his enemies... He was attacked by the enemies just after he put down his weapons to rest. Jie Jun killed more than a dozen people in a row. In the end, he was exhausted and was tied up.
He was also caught by the Qin people who arrived in time after receiving the notice. Zhao Kang's opponent was easily dealt with. Zhao Kang was in a very good mood. He sat on the upper seat and looked at Jie Jun in front of him, thinking.
Thousands.
This was the first time the two met, and both of them were sizing up their opponents.
"Do you know? I even want to spare your life so that you can see with your own eyes how much better the Yue people are living under the rule of Qin... Unfortunately, I can't forgive you. Your hands are stained with too much Qin.
Human blood.”
"You attack my country and want to take away my land, destroy my country, and kill my relatives. Can't I fight back? How many Vietnamese blood have been stained on your hands? Why do you want to attack?
Us?" The translator told Zhao Kang what Jie Jun said. Zhao Kang hesitated for a moment and replied: "Because the Qin people can make the Yue people here live a good life, give them enough food, and make them feel at ease.
Live... If you didn't choose to resist, you could have done the same."
When the translator translated Zhao Kang's words to Jie Jun, Jie Jun struggled to get up, and the soldiers hurriedly held him down.
Jie Jun was held down by the soldiers. He stared into Zhao Kang's eyes, said something in Vietnamese, and then stopped talking. Zhao Kang waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take him out and execute him.
When Jie Jun walked out of the mansion, he saw the other captured soldiers, including the young man. When the young man saw Jie Jun's eyes, he suddenly burst into tears, howled loudly, and struggled wildly. However, the surroundings
The Qin soldiers did not give him any chance to struggle, and even his mouth was blocked. Jie Jun stopped beside him and said: "Live well, it doesn't matter."
When the soldiers took Jie Jun away, Zhao Kang curiously asked the translator beside him, "What did he just say?"
"He said... he would rather run free in the mountains and die from exhaustion than be a slave who could have a full stomach."
Standing outside the camp, Jie Jun was pressed to the ground, but he still raised his head high to welcome death.
