Looking at the weapons in the hands of the Vietnamese…
Hmm, it could barely be considered a weapon…
Li Xin suddenly felt like he was bullying a child.
No wonder the Qin army had split up into five routes to attack the Bai Yue. The route to attack Ou Yue and Min Yue was the smoothest.
Facing such an opponent who had limited information and outdated equipment, how could things not go smoothly?
Li Xin even began to suspect how weak Chu was, which was why it did not send troops to destroy the two Yue.
In fact, Li Xin was wrong.
It wasn't that the Chu Country didn't want to occupy the Baiyue, but they hadn't found a suitable opportunity.
As it was connected to the Central Plains, Chu had always placed its main focus on dealing with powerful countries like Qin and Wei.
He had no time to pay attention to the Yue in the south.
After Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State became stronger, and the Chu State had no intention of managing the Baiyue State.
As long as the Yue stayed in Yue Land and did not invade Chu Country, it would be fine.
However, Bai Yue was really a salted fish.
As a result, after Li Xin stepped into Yue Di, he only saw such a small village after half a day.
Another reason was that the Land of the Hundred Yue was indeed not of much value.
Whether it was land or politics, it was the same.
Compared to the Yue in the south, the rulers of Chu were more inclined to the Central Plains in the north.
Many people might not understand the reason behind this.
After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty had granted the world to him.
The Chu Country had only obtained a viscount title, which was quite low.
As the Chu Country's national strength continued to develop and its influence grew, the Chu people wanted to raise their status in the world.
Based on the situation at that time, if he wanted to improve his status, he could only develop in the north. This was because no matter how much territory he could occupy in the south, the political treatment would still be the same and would not improve.
He didn't care about it in the early stages, but he didn't have time to care about it in the later stages. That was why Baiyue had been a salted fish for hundreds of years.
"Tell them that the Chu Country has been destroyed by Great Qin. Ask them who their leader is and ask them to come out and surrender.”Li Xin translated to the Chu people.
The translator immediately conveyed Li Xin's meaning.
After hearing Li Xin's words, the few Vietnamese who were on sentry duty started to discuss, as if they were arguing about something.
Li Xin frowned and asked the translator what these Vietnamese meant.
The interpreter told him that these Vietnamese sentries were arguing about which country Great Qin was…
Li Xin was instantly speechless.
He immediately shot an arrow at the vice-commander beside him, and with a single arrow, one of the Vietnamese soldiers fell to the ground.
Although he didn't want to kill the innocent, he didn't want to waste time.
If every "city" they went to was like this, wouldn't they be tormented for countless years?
Seeing that their companion was shot and fell, the remaining Vietnamese sentries immediately became vigilant. They looked at Li Xin with hostility and finally entered a state of alert.
One of them even ran directly to the village, as if to report the news.
After a long time.
A well-dressed man appeared in front of the village surrounded by a group of Ou Yue soldiers.
He then asked Li Xin in a broken Central Plains language,"You are the Qin army?"
"That's right!"
"The Chu Country has already been destroyed by you?”
"Not bad!"
"What are you doing here? Why did you kill my clansmen?"
Sighing in his heart, Li Xin sighed at Yue Ren's naivety. He was too lazy to waste his breath on him and said directly,"This general has been ordered by the King of Qin to attack your Ou Yue territory. Surrender to the Great Qin and save your life. Otherwise, this general will lead an army to trample through your stronghold and slaughter your clansmen!”
The leader of Ou Yue who barely understood Li Xin's words was facing a great enemy: "We Yue people have lived here for hundreds of years, yet you want to seize my land and kill my people. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the King of Ouyue?”
"Don't worry, I will go find your King of Ouyue."”
After saying that, he raised his bow and shot an arrow.
The arrow tore through the air.
The leader of the Ou Yue fell to the ground.
Seeing that their leader was killed by Li Xin, the Yue people instantly turned red.
What surprised Li Xin was that these Yue people didn't lose their fighting spirit and surrender like the other countries in the Central Plains when their leader was killed by him.
On the contrary, he raised his wooden stick and charged at the Qin army.
After a rain of arrows, these Yue soldiers fell to the ground before they could even reach the front of the Qin army.
Looking at the corpses of the Ou Yue people, Li Xin frowned.
The Yue people's stubborn resistance was indeed well-deserved.
It was no wonder that the well-equipped Qin army in history did not have a smooth attack on the Bai Yue.
It seemed that if Great Qin wanted to completely take over Vietnam, it would still need to go through a lot of trouble.
Just the stubbornness of the Yue people was not something that could be dispelled just by conquering their land.
The only way was to let Ying Zheng move the people from the Central Plains into Yue and assimilate them with Han culture.
It would take another few decades or even a few hundred years before they would be able to completely bring the Baiyue Land into China.
At the thought of this, Li Xin's respect for Ying Zheng grew.
In history, Ying Zheng did not hesitate to spend a large amount of national power to conquer the Bai Yue.
He even ordered Zhao Tuo to guard the Bai Yue before his death. Even if there was a rebellion in the Central Plains, he was not allowed to leave.
If not for this, how could there be the Huaxia of the future?
Even though the later generations had different opinions on Ying Zheng, they could not deny the contribution that Ying Zheng had made to this nation.
It was not too much to call him the Ancestral Dragon!
After receiving the information from the small village, Li Xin did not stop and directly led the army to attack the King of Ouyue.
Two days later.
In the Royal Palace of Ouyue…
The place where the King of Ouyue lived could barely be considered a palace…
In the past two days, the King of Ouyue had received a lot of news about Li Xin's army.
After entering Vietnam, the Qin army continued to attack the cities, facing such a backward Vietnamese tribe, there was no resistance at all.
"King! Not good!"
The report from the Yue soldiers made the King of Ouyue even more worried.
"But which tribe did the Qin army conquer?”
"No."
"The Qin army has already arrived outside the Royal City…"
