Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such tactics might work on others, but how could they affect Gu Yi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t be bothered to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did he bother to provide examples of when these tribes had betrayed the Great Han, simply waving them away to be escorted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle was destined to be unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the formidable Gu Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shanyue once again formed a coalition as they had in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The events at the Northern Border, though long past, were no longer a secret even now in Lingnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they truly surrendered to the Han Army, those impacted would be the actual rulers of these tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they were present, peace couldn’t be achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for them,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t believe the Han Army would remain in a place like Lingnan for long, even if they lost this battle, the Han Army would, as before, leave directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, what did they have to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Shanyue coalition quickly set up defenses at the southern section of the ancient Mei Pass route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the gateways for the Han Army to step into the northern parts of Lingnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Shanyue lagged behind the Great Han overall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>years of interaction had given them insights into some of the Han Army’s strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial point was — they were well-versed in the local terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Han Army indeed needed to break through the Mei Pass route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their guess was correct, but they failed to account for the presence of Gu Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi didn’t rely on Gu Han to provide much assistance on this expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Han has already done enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He maintained the habits of the Gu Clan’s descendants, sending the topographic maps of Lingnan back to Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having this is sufficient!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eighteenth year of Qianji, November.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi officially launched the assault on the ancient Mei Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ordered Wen Yang to lead as the vanguard to attack the city head-on, to attract the attention of the defenders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While secretly dispatching a clever force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying grappling hooks, they circled around to the rear of the Shanyue camps along a woodcutter’s trail, creating chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this battle, Gu Yi had to be decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the earlier war in the Northern Border, he wanted to decide the outcome in one battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu Clan still held prestige among the Shanyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could crush these people’s spirit of resistance to the point of collapse, he could completely control the entire Lingnan in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for dragging it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be absolute self-exhaustion for the Han Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resistance of the Shanyue is very tribal in nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the attack of Wen Yang, after resisting a few waves, they thoroughly realized Wen Yang’s bravery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing they could not clash with him head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they immediately utilized the local features, using bees bred within the tribe to disrupt the Han Army while resisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed an unforeseen tactic for Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dense swarms of bees emerged from the hives, even Wen Yang struggled to exert his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dense swarms of bees would always find the flaws in the rattan armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi immediately came up with a countermeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had the soldiers light fires and create smoke to drive away the bees, continually tightening the encirclement to create opportunities for the raiding force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The methods of these tribes were indeed strange and varied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time, perhaps unsolvable, and equally perplexing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight carelessness could lead one to believe they could control wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these tactics posed no threat to the overall situation for Gu Yi, who possessed modern knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the morale of the Han Army?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ye was present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the morale of the Han Army waver?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle was destined to be utterly desperate for the Shanyue tribes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their various methods were entirely ineffective against the Han Army; due to the technological lag, neither their weapons nor arrows could penetrate the rattan armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The casualties caused were even less than the soldiers who died from disease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the nineteenth year of Qianji, January.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great fire completely drew the Meiguan Ancient Road conflict to a close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Han Army officially broke through the gateway to Lingnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advancing into Lingnan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the central army also encountered the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides began a great battle at Qinti Huazui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shanyue tribes released poisonous herbs into Lingqu, attempting to cause internal collapse in the Han Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, Gu Yi had previously taught the soldiers filtering methods, including boiling water and such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this method couldn’t thoroughly filter out all toxins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don’t forget, the Han Army had its own means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon discovering an issue with the drinking water, the Han Army, on top of a series of basics, added alum to remove impurities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these combined measures—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally non-lethal toxins were rendered completely ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this method lost its effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantages of the Han Army were entirely evident, though the Han Army still couldn’t solve the drawbacks posed by environmental factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what does that matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall strength of the Great Han far exceeded the Shanyue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a disadvantage the Shanyue could not overcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In March;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The western army ambushed at Chenxi E Tan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the endlessly advancing Han Army, the entire Southern Border was shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the time of the Great Han Emperor Xiaowu, the Southern Border welcomed its conqueror once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More determined than ever compared to the past!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi was not pursuing fleeting achievements; he wanted to completely integrate Lingnan into Kyushu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least it shouldn’t be as out of place with Kyushu as it is now!...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Yan Han Dynasty is one of the most fascinating dynasties in our country’s feudal history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only due to its unique political features, where figures like the Ten Directions Conquest Envoy could walk alongside imperial power, including the formation of the imperial examination system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But also because of its ethnic integration policies implemented during the Qianji era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move completely reversed the
