In 214 BC, good news came from the Southern Kingdom, and Lingnan was pacified. This was the heyday of the Qin Dynasty , and Guangdong was merged into China for the first time.
The First Emperor established Nanhai , Guilin, Xiangjun three counties, with Ren Xiao [xiāo] as Nanhai Wei (junwei), commanding the three counties, and the capital was located in Panyu (now Guangzhou). According to Renxiao's battle report, the people in Lingnan are not loyal, and a large army needs to be stationed in Wuling ( Nanling) to suppress the Nanling .
The Qin Dynasty's army and local governments each had their own systems. Generals and military lieutenants generally did not serve as local officials concurrently. Generals went on expeditions while their families stayed in Guanzhong. Local officials can bring their families with them. Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo , Lu and others also serve as feudal officials. This is where hidden dangers lie.
The First Emperor wanted to leave tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and collect the army back to the Central Plains. However, Lingnan was a large land with many mountains and the people did not follow him. At Ren Xiao's request, not only did he not withdraw his troops, but he also sent additional sons-in-law and small traders to Lingnan to confiscate the army.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Ren Xiao, the chief general of the Southern Army and the captain of Nanhai , died of illness. Zhao Tuo, the deputy general and Longchuan county magistrate, knew that the Qin Dynasty was no longer able to send troops to the south. The three counties in Lingnan are surrounded by mountains and seas, thousands of miles from east to west, so Zhao Tuo planned to form his own country. Zhao Tuo forged an imperial edict from the second emperor of Qin, ordering him to conduct military affairs in the South China Sea. Zhao Tuo ordered the guards at Hengpu Pass, Yangshan Pass, and Huangxi Pass in the northern part of the Southern Navy to say that the bandits were coming, so they hurriedly blocked the road and set up troops for defense.
In the following years, Zhao Tuo repeatedly corrected his edicts, successively killed those who opposed him, and used his trusted associates to take over as the magistrate of the three counties. A few years later, the Qin Dynasty fell, and Zhao Tuo established himself as King Wu of South Vietnam.
Guangdong had been integrated into the Chinese territory during the Qin Dynasty, but Zhao Tuo soon became a country of its own. It was not until about ninety years after the establishment of the Han Dynasty that South Vietnam was unified.
In 113 BC, Nanyue King Zhao Yingqi died of illness. It was rumored that the King of Nanyue had hollow eyes at a young age. He was obsessed with the beauty of the Queen Mother, and his body was exhausted after more than ten years.
Prince Zhao Xing came to the throne and respected his mother, the Queen Mother, as the Queen Mother. When the Min family was not married to Zhao Yingqi, they had a close relationship with Anguo Shaoji, a native of Baling. Emperor Wu sent envoys to mourn, and among the envoys was An Guo Shaoji, with the purpose of persuading the King of Nanyue and the Queen Mother to enter the court. At the same time, Emperor Wu ordered Weiwei Lu Bode to lead his troops south and stationed in Guiyang to build momentum from a distance.
In the palace of the Queen Mother of Nanyue, the Queen Mother leaned on the side of the beautiful couch, sighed quietly, and stood up.
Anguo Shaoji quietly looked at him. He had not seen him for more than ten years. He had a slightly curved nose and plump lips. He was even more charming than before. A pair of talking eyes were also looking at Anguo Shaoji with sparkling eyes.
The Queen Mother moved lightly on her lotus steps, her breasts trembling as she walked, and soon she was at Anguo Shaoji's chest. The fragrance could be smelled, and the fragrance filled her nose, so the two of them rekindled their ashes.
The Queen Mother was a native of the Central Plains, so she wanted to rely on the power of the Han court and urged the South Vietnamese king Zhao Xing and his close officials to request internal subordinates. When Zhao Xing was young, he obeyed his mother and was willing to go to the border and enter the court once every three years.
Nanyue King Zhao Xing and the Queen Mother ordered people to pack their bags and load them with many belongings, preparing to set off north to Chang'an . However, in addition to the Zhao family, the second largest family in the South Vietnam Kingdom was the Lu family, which refused to be included.
Lv Jia, the prime minister of South Vietnam, had three kings: Zhao Hu, Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Xing. There were more than 70 senior officials in the clan. The sons born to the Lu family all married the prince's daughter, and the girls all married into the clan of the Nanyue prince's younger brother. Lu Jia was also married to Cangwu Qin King Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang was the leader of the Cangwu tribe. Cangwu was a vassal state of South Vietnam. Zhao Guang's surname was also given by Zhao Tuo. In short, Lu Jia held a high and powerful position in South Vietnam and was popular.
Lu Jia repeatedly warned the Nanyue King not to submit to the Han Dynasty, but Zhao Xing only listened to his mother. Lu Jia also had a method, claiming that he was ill and refusing to go to court, and he also did not see the Han envoys. As a result, Zhao Xing, the king of South Vietnam, was unable to leave because there were too many people and the army and the people did not cooperate.
Emperor Wu heard about it and sent Han Qianqiu, the Prime Minister of Ji, Han Qianqiu, and the Empress Dowager's younger brother, Zhen Le, with 2,000 troops into the territory of Guangdong to assist the King of Nanyue in his journey north.
At this time, Lu Jia could no longer sit still, and led his army into the palace with his younger brother, attacking and killing the Nanyue King, the Queen Mother, and An Guo Shaoji, and killed two other envoys, Zhong Jun and Wei Chen. He sent people to inform Cangwu King Zhao Guang of Qin and the counties of Nanyue, and established Zhao Yingqi's eldest son Shuyanghou Zhao Jiande as the king of Nanyue.
Han Qianqiu and Min Le marched forward together. The South Vietnamese officials and soldiers received them enthusiastically and were willing to serve as guides to help them travel unimpeded. Unexpectedly, when they arrived forty miles north of Panyu, the capital city of Yue, South Vietnamese soldiers suddenly attacked from all sides and surrounded them heavily.
Han Qianqiu only had 2,000 troops. He had no way forward and no reinforcements behind him. In the end, his entire army was wiped out and no one survived.
Of course, these two people's deaths will not be in vain. After the South Vietnam was pacified, Han Yannian, the son of Han Qianqiu, was granted the title of Marquis of An, with a settlement of 1,380 households; the son of Yule was granted the title of Longhou in Guangde, with a settlement of 670 households.
The emperor’s wrath left millions dead.
In the autumn of 112 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world, and sent all criminals to join the army. More than 100,000 soldiers were divided into five routes and marched south to Panyu.
The first Lu Weiwei (one of the Nine Qings, the second-rank official) Lu Bode worshiped General Fubo, left Guiyang, and went down to Huangshui (Lianshui); the second Lu Duwei (right Fufeng, official position) Second product) Yang The servant paid homage to General Chuan , went out to Yuzhang , and went to flood the river; the third way returned to Yihou Zheng Yan, and paid homage to General Gechuan, left Lingling, and went down to Li River; the fourth way returned to Yihou Tianjia, and paid homage. General Lai left Lingling and went down to Cangwu; on the fifth route, Chiyihou He Yi led the Bashu sinners and Yelang soldiers and went down to the Zangjiang River.
The general Lu Bode was an official and a guard. As early as after the Battle of Mobei, he was granted the title of Marquis of Fuli, with a settlement of 1,600 households. This kind of military operation that spanned most of the southern counties of the Han Dynasty required a person with high authority and great military exploits to oversee the overall situation.
Since the Han Dynasty's envoys to Shendu (Tianzhu, India) were blocked in Kunming, Emperor Wu dug a pool in Shanglin, named Kunming Pool, with Yang Pu and Han Shuo as generals, leading the water. The teacher practices water combat. Yang Pu is a descendant of Chiquanhou Yang Xi, and Han Yue is a descendant of Han Wangxin. They are both from wealthy families. From Yang Puguan to Zhujue Duwei (right Fufeng, second-grade official position), he is in charge of matters such as the enfeoffment of kings and their descendants.
Guiyi Marquis Zheng Yan, Tian Jia, and Chiyi Marquis He Yi were all Nanyue people. They had followed Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Cigong and others into the Han Dynasty. They were familiar with the Nanyue Kingdom, so they were entrusted with important tasks. Is there really a question mark as to whether these three armies are capable of dealing with their former masters?
After Zheng Yan and Tian Jia entered Lijiang from the Xiang River, they were unable to break through the blockade of King Qin of Cangwu in South Vietnam. They failed to reach Panyu until the end of the war. He Yi led the Bashu sinners, but before they could reach Yelang, they were blocked by the Qielan Kingdom, and Lan Jun was unwilling to send troops. He Yi was stuck on the Guizhou Plateau, waiting for the Han Dynasty to divide its troops after South Vietnam was pacified. It would be ridiculous to save him.
The five-pronged army attacked South Vietnam, but the important task actually fell on Lu Bode and Yang Pu. However, Lu Bode belongs to the Weihuo Group and Yang Pu belongs to the clan group. The two camps despise each other. The two generals have high self-esteem, so it may be difficult for them to work together.
Floor Ship General Yang Pu led the navy, sailing south from Yuzhang County tributaries of the Gan River, then taking a short land route, entering the Zhenjiang River south of Dageng Mountains, breaking through Hengpu Pass, sailing into the South Vietnam border, and then entering Beijiang River went south and broke through Huangxi Pass. These checkpoints are all near today's Shaoguan, Guangdong. As the northern gate of Guangdong, Shaoguan has always been a natural and dangerous pass in the gateway region of southern my country.
Picture - Shaoguan
Yang Pu led the navy army down the Beijiang River, and encountered the first wave of major resistance in a canyon called Xunxia.
The Xunxia River is very narrow, with rushing water and thunderous waves. Both sides are steep mountains with thousands of walls standing tall. Ten thousand people in South Vietnam guarded both sides of the canyon. Catapults and rolling logs were hidden among the trees, specializing in attacking large fleets.Yang Pu first anchored the ship and led his elite troops to climb vines and vines onto the river bank. The water battle turned into a field battle and the Vietnamese army was caught off guard.
Yang Pu broke through the Xun Gorge, and there was no obstacle along the way. Approaching Panyu, you can see the mountains on both sides of the bank facing each other like gates. This is the last pass in the north of Panyu City, the Shimen. Yang Pu sent his troops to attack Shimen. South Vietnam King Zhao Jiande and Prime Minister Lu Jia sent troops out of the city to meet the enemy. The Vietnamese army was defeated by the powerful crossbows of the Han army and lost the stone gate. They were defeated and rushed into the city. They did not dare to fight with the Han army in the field. Yang Pu's troops were not strong enough to besiege Panyu City, so he stationed troops to rest and wait for the arrival of Lu Bode's army.
Fubo General Lu Bode marched from Guiyang, Changsha State. His soldiers were not from the Kunming Lake Navy. Most of them were criminals and escaped along the way. Lu Bode entered Lianshui from Jiuyi Mountain , conquered Yangshan Pass, and then went south along the Beijiang River. Fortunately, Yang Pu had already conquered the pass along the way. Lu Bode led more than a thousand pioneers to Shimen, north of Panyu, a month later than Yang Pu.
Lu Bode had great military exploits. During the Battle of Mobei seven years ago, he had been granted the title of Marquis of Pili, with a settlement of 1,600 households. In terms of military positions, General Fubo is on the same level as General Louchuan. In terms of official positions, Weiwei is on the same level as the Lord Commander, but the Guardsman is Jiuqing and ranks in front of the Lord Commander. The leader of this war should be Lubod, and the two groups should merge, but the two camps are in opposition, and things are not that simple.
Yang Pu wanted to make his first contribution, but seeing that Lu Bode had few people and that there might not be many reinforcements in the future, he insisted on leading his own troops to attack the city, with Yang Pu attacking the southeast and Lu Bode attacking the northwest.
Since Yang Pu sent out troops, he has won several battles in a row, and his troops are strong. He ordered a ladder to be set up and tried his best to attack. He also ordered the sergeants to prepare plenty of fire starters, tie them to arrowheads, shoot them into the city, and set the city on fire. However, Panyu is the capital of South Vietnam. The city is high and deep. Flags are planted all over the city and the garrison is full. It is difficult to leave for a while.

Lu Bode was stationed in the northwest of Panyu, but was unable to attack the city, so he set up camp, built more barriers, planted false flags, made great noise, sent people into the city, and warned the generals to come and surrender quickly.
Fires broke out all over the city of Panyu, burning countless houses and sending smoke and flames into the sky. The sound of killing Han soldiers outside the city was heard, and the defenders and people became increasingly panicked. In particular, some wealthy businessmen and hawkers were running around, trying to escape, and the whole city was abuzz. The generals who defended the city also took care of their families and had no intention of resisting the enemy.
The South Vietnamese people have always heard of the reputation of Pilihou Lu Bode. In the Battle of Mobei, the Xiongnu captured and beheaded 12,700 people. So the prefect of Nanhai County and General Bi Qu led the army and civilians to open the northwest gate and surrendered to the Lubode military camp. The governor of Nanhai held a high position in the Nanyue Kingdom. He left the city and surrendered, which became an important turning point in the battle. Shortly after the Nanyue Kingdom was pacified, the governor of Nanhai died of illness, and his son was granted the title of Marquis of Shedu, with a settlement of 2,040 households. The South Vietnamese general Bi was granted the title of Marquis, with a settlement of 510 households.
When the South Vietnamese kings Zhao Jiande and Lu Jia learned that the Nanhai governor had surrendered, their faces were ashen, so they each led hundreds of their confidants to break out of the city, intending to escape to a small island in the sea.
Yang Pu led tens of thousands of troops into the city and wiped out the Zhao family and the Lu family, but the most important Nanyue King and Prime Minister were not found.

Lu Bode entered the city on his own to join forces with Yang Pu, but he ordered more than a thousand of his men to pursue him. As a result, Army Commander Su Hong captured Zhao Jiande, King of Nanyue, and was granted the title of Changhou, with an unknown settlement. Sun Du, the surrendered general of South Vietnam, captured Lu Jia, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, and was granted the title of Marquis of Cai, with a settlement of 1,000 households.
Yang Pu had been busy for several months, but he didn't want Lu Bode to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. His fighting ability was not as good as his fighting wit.
When the counties and counties in South Vietnam heard that Panyu had been defeated and that the King and Prime Minister of South Vietnam had been captured, they surrendered. When Zhao Guang, the King of Qin in Cangwu, saw the Han soldiers arriving, he immediately went out to welcome them. He was granted the title of Taohou, with a settlement of 3,000 households. Weng, the governor of Guilin, led more than 400,000 Ouluo people to surrender, and was granted the title of Marquis of Xiangcheng, with a settlement of 830 households. Jieyang County magistrate Shi Ding led his troops and civilians to surrender, and was granted the title of Andaohou, with 600 households living in the city.
Fulihou Lubode, the case of gold minting and military exploits coexisted, and the merits were converted into crimes, which was neither beneficial nor punishable. Yang Pu pushed the front and fell into Jian. He was granted the title of Marquis of Liang, and his settlement is unknown.
Chang'an Weiyang Palace has a circumference of 28 miles. The main entrance faces north and is called the North Palace.The South Vietnamese king Zhao Jiande was beheaded and his head was hung in the North Tower of Chang'an. The Kingdom of Nanyue was destroyed. Wei Zhao Tuo became king for five generations and died in ninety-three years.
Emperor Wu established nine counties in South Vietnam: Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Zhukui, and Dan'er.
