Chapter 855
Because of the turmoil in the Minyue Kingdom, the Qin army entered an uninhabited land and easily destroyed the Minyue Kingdom.
When the news of the destruction of the Minyue Kingdom spread, it was an unacceptable thing for the Dongou Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom.
There were many tribes in the land of Baiyue, and many Yue tribes lived together in the mountains and forests. In the past, there were many countries, but with the passage of time, the countries established by many Yue tribes were destroyed one after another. Now, only three most powerful countries remained.
Nanyue, Minyue, and Dongou. Among them, the Nanyue Kingdom was the most powerful, and Minyue and Dongou were slightly weaker. The ruler of the Nanyue Kingdom was ambitious and had also thought about annexing the Minyue Kingdom and the Dongou Kingdom, like the Central Plains, to establish a unified dynasty.
Although the Nanyue Kingdom was the most pure indigenous Yue country and had nothing to do with the Yue Kingdom of the past, it was close to the Central Plains and influenced by the Central Plains, and also formed a unique political system.
The contemporary Nanyue ruler was an ambitious person.
It is a pity that although the Nanyue Kingdom was stronger than the Minyue and Dongou kingdoms, it did not have an overwhelming advantage like the Qin Guo against the six Shandong kingdoms. It was not an easy thing for the Nanyue King to annex Minyue and Dongou. More importantly, these two countries were descendants of the Yue King of the past. Although they argued endlessly about who was orthodox, they were of the same root and origin. If they were really forced to the brink 413, they would also join forces.
This time, when the Qin Guo conquered Minyue, the Minyue King Zou Wuzhu actually sent people to contact the Dongou King. The Dongou King verbally promised to assist Minyue. Of course, because it was impossible to assist Minyue selflessly, the Dongou King's original idea was to wait until the Qin Guo and the Minyue Kingdom were in a bitter battle and the national strength of the Minyue Kingdom was weakened before providing assistance.
The two countries joined forces and could even defeat Nanyue.
Although the Qin Guo was powerful, this was the territory of Baiyue after all. The Qin people were unfamiliar with the place and had no time or geographical advantage. Even if there were many people, in mountain forest warfare, having many people could not solve any problems.
At that time, Dongou would help Minyue defeat the Qin army, resolve the crisis of Baiyue, and at the same time take the opportunity to annex the weakened Minyue Kingdom and strengthen itself. It was truly killing two birds with one stone.
If Dongou annexed Minyue, its national strength could even exceed Nanyue. At that time, annexing Nanyue, unifying Baiyue, and using the land of Baiyue as a foundation, it might not be impossible to compete for the Central Plains.
After all, the Yue King Goujian of the past had accomplished such a thing.
If it weren't for the fact that the Yue Kingdom was defeated by the Chu Kingdom during the period of the Yue King Wujiang, the Central Plains today would still have a place for the Yue Kingdom.
It is a pity that neither the ambitious Dongou King nor the Nanyue King who sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight expected one thing, that is, the Minyue Kingdom would perish so quickly. An internal strife directly buried the entire Minyue Kingdom.
When the Minyue Kingdom was defeated and its territory was occupied by the Qin army, both the Nanyue Kingdom and the Dongou Kingdom felt huge trouble. As the name suggests, Nanyue and Dongou, one was located in the south and one was located in the east, and Minyue happened to be sandwiched in the middle of them.
The destruction of the Minyue Kingdom was equivalent to the Qin Guo finding a breakthrough. Going south, it could attack Nanyue, and going east, it could march toward Dongou. Dongou and Nanyue could not join forces even if they wanted to.
Although they could still rely on the mountain forest terrain to resist the Qin army.
But one thing must be known.
