Chapter 264 Mission to Baiyue
Not long after the First Emperor left, Li Nian received news about Han Xin at school. He couldn't help but smile. Little Han Xin also learned how to be human, but this is a good thing. If the current situation continues to develop, Han Xin should not repeat the mistakes of the original history.
For Han Xin who grew up in this environment, Li Nian wanted to see what achievements he would eventually achieve. He could now fully understand the mood of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in cultivating Huo Qubing. Carving a person is comparable to carving wood or jade. More feeling.
Especially when the person who carved it achieves great achievements, the sense of accomplishment that feels like the first grown-up of your nephew and nephew is simply overwhelming!
Han Xin's conditions today can be said to be even better than those of Huo Qubing. At least Huo Qubing didn't have a time traveler like him as his teacher.
The opening ceremony was held in Xianyang, and when the princes of the Qin Dynasty went to the fiefdom, in the south of the Qin Dynasty, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, and Zhao Tuo were leading people to walk on the mountain road. They saw tall and dense trees and unknown flowers and plants. There were also sounds of unknown birds and animals coming from afar.
The three of them still can’t figure out why His Majesty asked them to serve as envoys to Baiyue.
Although they are capable of government affairs and managing the local area, their job is to be Qin generals, and they should lead troops on the battlefield. Moreover, His Majesty clearly had so many people to choose from, but he chose the three of them.
If it weren’t for the things His Majesty asked them to bring, I almost thought His Majesty wanted to exile them here on the pretext of being sent as envoys. But even if Your Majesty did not let them serve as envoys out of the intention of harming them, there must be some There is a reason, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
Now that I have arrived, I naturally want to complete this mission for His Majesty. I have to say that the Baiyue people do have merit and can survive in such a place.
Looking at the Baiyue people leading the way in front of them, the three of them said to themselves, "I hope this mission will go well!" ’ and continued to advance with the escorting Baiyue army.
After several days of traveling, the envoy led by Tu Sui finally arrived at the place where the leader of Baiyue wanted to receive them.
There is a city standing here. Unlike the cities in the Qin Dynasty, which were generally built on flat terrain, this city was built between valleys, set against each other by mountains. Its scale and majesty cannot be compared with Xianyang. , but has a style different from Xianyang.
At first glance, the buildings in the city are also unique. They are different from the houses in Da Qin. The sight of them made everyone in the mission feel fresh.
There are cultivated fields scattered among the mountains. It is spring now, and the weather is getting warmer in the south earlier. There are Baiyue people working there. Their clothes and farm tools are different from those of Daqin. Some of them noticed that The mission, curiously watching from a distance.
Perhaps in their eyes, they looked at the Great Qin Envoy just as the Great Qin Envoy looked at them. What a strange group of people. They actually wore such hair ornaments and wore such clothes. They didn't put any paint on their faces or wear jewelry on their ears. ...
After entering the city, the buildings that had just been seen outside the city clearly appeared before our eyes. They were indeed different from those in Da Qin, but they could not be said to be crude. They could only be said to have local ethnic characteristics.
These buildings were discovered by Baiyue people in their daily lives for generations, and they were gradually built to look like this. They are adapted to the local environment and the living customs of Baiyue people.
The most majestic building in the city is naturally the residence of the leader of Baiyue. It is a luxurious widened, taller and multi-version Baiyue house. The builder obviously put his heart into it, and the appearance and layout are good. But It gives people a feeling that it is not grand enough.
Seeing this building, Tu Sui and the others already understood the temperament of the Baiyue people or the Baiyue leader they were about to meet. He did not have much ambition, was conservative and closed, and did not want to get involved with the outside world. I just want to protect my three-thirds of an acre of land.
This kind of leader is both good and bad. The good thing is that as long as Da Qin is strong enough, he will not have Da Qin's ideas. The bad thing is that it is difficult to deal with him. He will always be wary of Da Qin, and Da Qin will not be able to communicate with him in all aspects. easy. Because he doesn’t want to play with you at all. No matter how useful your things are or how delicious your food is, he won’t care about it. What can you do to him? Unless you send troops to conquer it, this place is not easy to fight!
According to the feelings of Tu Sui and the others these days, Daqin will have to spend a lot of effort to capture this place. Even if it is captured, it will take a lot of energy to manage, and in a short period of time There is almost no reward.
But the three of them are here today to pry open the door of Baiyue people. Even if Da Qin cannot actually control Baiyue, it still needs to exert influence on it to facilitate its future actions.
Although it is called "Baiyue", Baiyue is not a country, but a general name for the Guyue tribes along the southern coast. There are many Guyue tribes, such as Wuyue, Yangyue, Dongou, Minyue, There are many Yue branches such as Nanyue, Xiou, Luoyue and so on, so it is called "Baiyue".
The Guyue tribe that Tu Sui and the others are currently on mission to is Xiou, which is one of the stronger tribes among the Baiyue tribes. Compared with some Guyue tribes, it can be regarded as a country. Although it is a country of united tribes, It's much better than other Guyue tribes where the land is full of big and small kings.
Tu Sui also died while fighting here. Compared with Minyue, which was captured without much effort, Xiou was much more difficult to defeat, and the people of Xiou also had a strong will to resist.
With a sentence in Baiyue that Tu Sui and the others did not understand, the three of them were led into a hall.
There were many people in the hall, including the King of Xiou and other tribal leaders of Xiou. When they saw the Da Qin envoy entering the hall, their eyes suddenly fell over, including curiosity, scrutiny, suspicion, vigilance, and fear. All sorts of emotions.
But Tu Sui and others were not afraid at all. They were envoys from the Qin Dynasty appointed by His Majesty himself. They represented the Qin Dynasty and Your Majesty. How could they be afraid of the Xiou monarchs and ministers?
Tu Sui, as the official envoy, saluted King Xiou and said: "Tu Sui, a man from Qin, is on an envoy to your country under the order of the Emperor of Qin. I have met the king now!"
Others from the Qin envoy who entered the palace also followed Tu Sui. Sui saluted King Xiou together.
The King of Xiou returned the gift of Xiou to everyone in the envoy, and then said something. The leaders of the Xiou tribe in the hall turned their eyes over again.
After translating in the palace, Tu Sui and others knew that what he said was: "You are here on the order of the Emperor of Qin. I wonder why the Emperor of Qin ordered you to come?"
Go straight to the point and ask why you are here, without any delay. Although they deliberately keep quiet and do not want to communicate with the outside world, they do not know any outside news. At least the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six countries in the north, and they still knew about the King of Qin proclaiming himself emperor.
King Xiou and the leaders generally believed that the envoys from Qin were likely to be evil, but unlike the Xiongnu, they were not so afraid of Qin. If the Qin people had ulterior motives and thought they were easy to manipulate and wanted to humiliate them, then they You won't be polite either.
Of course, they are not afraid of returning, and they do not want to provoke Da Qin and start a war with Da Qin. After all, Da Qin is indeed powerful. If they play with them for real, they will never be able to resist.
