During the Jiaozhou war, after the military academy was completed, Xu Shu fully understood the details of the Lu Ning army and received the order from Lu Ning. Xu Shu led Emperor Tuo, Zhou Tai and Qian Hong to lead 20,000 Marines and 5,000 Marines to set off. With the support of the navy, 20,000 troops landed in the eastern part of Jiaozhou.

Jiaodong is under the control of the Shanyue tribe. In recent years, Xin Ping has continuously cooperated with the Shanyue tribes to plant mulberry trees, build silk factories, and be responsible for selling them, which greatly improved the production and life of the Shanyue tribes and established very strong relationships and friendships.

When Xin Ping found that the tribes of the Shanyue tribes were recruiting and supporting each other and promised to send troops to conquer Jiaozhou, most of the tribes of the Shanyue tribes agreed. At the same time, Xin Ping also promised that once the conquest of Jiaozhou was over, the tribes of the Shanyue tribes could be moved to a flat land in Jiaozhou, and the houses they lived in were built by the government office, and the land was allocated according to the population, and they were responsible for teaching the Shanyue tribes to grow grain and cash crops.

At the same time, Xin Ping promised that the government office would pay a certain amount of money and grain as the cost of this dispatch, and widely publicize Jinyang's various policies to the tribes of Shanyue, which was recognized by the tribes of Shanyue. The tribes of Shanyue organized a Shanyue army of more than 50,000 people to obey Xu Shu's orders.

At the same time, Xu Shu decided to lead his troops from Zhuya Island to advance to Hepu County, so that the troops in Jiaozhou could be dispersed.

Zhou Tai followed Xu Shu's order and asked Xin Ping to persuade Shan Yue to send troops to destroy the enemy troops in Hepu County. Through communication with the Shanyue tribes, Xin Ping organized a Shanyue army of 30,000 people. Zhou Tai led 5,000 Marines, so an army of 18,000 set out from Zhuya Island and advanced to Hepu County through naval transport.

Zhou Tai's army was moving forward all the way, and the road was very difficult, and it was basically in mountainous areas. After more than three months, he arrived at the city of Hepu County. The garrison generals of Hepu County were Shi Yi, the younger brother of Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, and his son Shi Kuang. There were about 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hepu City. Although Zhou Tai had a lot of troops than Shi Yi, the soldiers of the Shanyue tribe did not undergo strict training, and were composed of more than ten tribes, so the combat effectiveness was not much better. The key was to look at the combat effectiveness of the five thousand Marines.

Xu Shu's army advanced very smoothly with the help of the Shanyue people, and advanced all the way along the eastern part of Jiaozhou to the south. The county towns passed by basically had no decent resistance. In addition, all the merchants in Jiaozhou had business dealings with Xinping Yizhou for many years, and knew the laws of Yizhou, and they also yearned for Yizhou very much. Therefore, with the support of merchants, the attacks of small counties became easier.

On the way to march south, Shi Xie's eldest son Shi Hui led his troops to set up ambush many times, but because Xu Shu's army had glasses, they were discovered by Xu Shu's army every time. Later, he was dragged to the emperor and counter-ambushed him once, causing Shi Hui to lose his troops and lose his generals, leaving more than 20,000 Jiaozhou soldiers. Shi Hui himself escaped with only a few thousand.

Xu Shu's army used troops to Jiaozhou, bringing together Shi Xie, who had originally had conflicts, and Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu County. They are now united to resist the attack of Xu Shu's army. The two of them also know that if they are not united, they will only be defeated by Xu Shu's army and will eventually be eliminated.

Wu Ju led 50,000 elite troops to support Shi Xie and jointly resisted the attack of Xu Shu's army. Shi Xie should have had nearly 100,000 troops, but because he was stationed in Hepu and more than 20,000 people stationed in Yulin County. In addition, Shi Hui lost nearly 30,000 elite troops halfway, so there were only about 60,000 soldiers in the entire Nanhai City.

Xu Shu had 15,000 elite soldiers, including 5,000 cavalry, and 50,000 Shanyue soldiers from Shanyue, so there was no problem in capturing Nanhai County. In addition, Xu Shu's soldiers were trained in Yizhou, so there was no problem of not being able to adapt to the local conditions.

When Xu Shu's army was more than 300 kilometers away from Nanhai County, the scouts found that the road ahead was narrow, with dense forests on both sides, and the mountains were dangerous. Xu Shu immediately asked the scouts to go forward to reconnaissance, and the army stopped advancing.

When the scouts came back, they said that there were a large number of archers ambushing in the dense forests on both sides, Xu Shu took out the situation and topographic maps that the scouts detected for detailed research.

Xu Shu asked the horse in detail and then said to his subordinates: "Since there are a large number of archers ambushing, we will use a rocket cart to shoot oil over, and at the same time let the crossbowmen use rockets to shoot at the two sides of the dense forest. Although the dense forest is thick, after the oil bomb burns, the entire dense forest can also ignite Xiong's fire. I want to see if the archers in the forest dare to stay in it."

Xu Shu immediately organized the gunmen, the shield soldiers stepped forward to escort the oil bullet chariot and drove forward. The crossbowmen were also ready. When the shooting distance reached, the crossbowmen and oil bullet chariots in Xu Shu's army fired volleys into the dense forests on both sides. In an instant, the fire surged into the sky in the dense forests on both sides. The soldiers stomped in the forest were flooded by Xiong's fire before they could fire an arrow.

The bows and arrows in the hands of the enemy soldiers hidden in the dense forest were not as far as those in the hands of the Xu Shu army soldiers. Then there were shouts from the forest, and the fire kept rushing backwards. If the soldiers in the forest wanted to escape, they could only escape in the direction of Xu Shu army. Otherwise, they would be dead. Xu Shu had already set up his pockets in front of the formation, and one of the soldiers in the forest fled and were immediately captured.

In the end, more than 2,000 people escaped, all of whom were captured, most of the others were burned to death by fire, and only a few escaped.

Through the trial of the captured soldiers, it was found that this time, the five thousand archers under Wu Ju from Cangwu County set up an ambush on Xu Shu's army. What Wu Ju didn't expect was that although it was so hidden, it was still found by the scouts sent by Xu Shu. Moreover, the oil bombs in Xu Shu's army were too powerful, and the wet forest was burned.

When Shi Xie and Wu Ju saw that they had failed to set up many ambushes, they also left many soldiers' lives. They wanted Shi Xie to defend Nanhai City. Wu Ju Ze launched a surprise attack on Xu Shu's army outside and set up heavy troops to guard the south gate of Nanhai City. That was the main road leading to Cangwu, Yulin and Hepu.

Xu Shu's idea was very simple. Because of the blasting methods, after the army arrived in Nanhai City, they strictly guarded Wu Ju while allowing the soldiers to rest and restore their physical strength. In addition, Xu Tong led a thousand defenders stationed in Xiangdao and Ao Island to support him.

Xu Shu's method was to stop the fifth day of the third day of the army's arrival in Nanhai City. Xu Shu asked the engineers to place explosives on the walls of the three gates east, west and north, and lit them together at the fifth day of the fifth day. With the huge roar, the soldiers in Nanhai City who were sleeping were extremely shocked. Everyone was panicked and didn't know what was going on. The soldiers guarding the city were stunned and stood motionless on the city wall. Accompanied by the rumbling sound, Xu Shu commanded the army and Shanyue soldiers under his command to enter the city from three directions.

The soldiers in the city had not yet reported it. After their heads were awake, the entire city was filled with soldiers from Xu Shujun and soldiers from the Shanyue tribe massacres, and the soldiers of Wu Ju were massacring. Many of the soldiers died without knowing how many soldiers died. When most of the soldiers woke up, they only heard the screams of surrendering and not killing, and surrendering and not killing.

The governor of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie, was still in his dream, and was also awakened by the loud noise. Shi Xie had just gotten up and was about to check what was going on. The guards ran in and said in a panic: "Sir, Xu Shu's army is coming into the city, run away quickly."

After hearing the report, Shi Xie couldn't care so much. He rushed out with the guards and jumped onto the war horse and ran towards the south gate. His soldiers rushed to the south gate one after another, and Xu Shu and others led their horses to chase after him. If they didn't run away, they might really not be able to escape.

Shi Xie was very lucky. Because the guards helped him withdrew for a while, Shi Xie finally escaped.

Wu Ju was not stationed in the city at all. He lived with his army outside the south gate of the city. When the loud roar woke him up, he heard all kinds of screams and slashes coming from the city. Wu Ju knew that the Nanhai County City was broken, so he wanted to organize the army as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Shi Xie's defeated army rushed over, his army would also be impacted, which would be troublesome.

However, things are often not tempted by their own will. Before Wu Ju's own army was combined, they were scattered by a large number of Shi Xie soldiers who escaped from the city. Wu Ju had no choice but to organize the troops as soon as possible, while allowing the archers to use bows and arrows to shoot ruthlessly at the escaped Shi Xie soldiers.

After Shi Xie escaped, he saw his soldiers being ruthlessly shot by Wu Ju's bow and arrow. He was so angry that he almost dropped his war horse. While running away, he pointed at Wu Ju and scolded him. In fact, Shi Xie was too consolidated, and Wu Ju had no choice! If Wu Ju didn't shoot the soldiers who rushed towards the team, Wu Ju's army would also be affected.

Seeing that Xu Shu had led his army out of the south gate, Wu Ju couldn't wait for other soldiers who had not arrived yet, so he immediately led his troops to escape. The soldiers behind were still bitten by Xu Shu's army, so Wu Ju finally left behind nearly 10,000 soldiers. When he came, he had an army of 50,000. Now he could escape about 35,000. Wu Ju led his troops to flee back to his hometown Cangwu City.

Shi Xie's eldest son Shi Hui was not so lucky. Shi Hui was sleeping well with his wife. He woke up with the loud roar. Before he put on his clothes, Qian Hong led his troops to kill him. Shi Hui was panicked and rushed to fight. In addition, his combat power was not on the same level as Qian Hong, so he was shot by Qian Hong in just a few rounds.

It was dawn and the battle was over. In this battle, the Xu Shu army captured nearly 40,000 enemy soldiers and killed more than 6,000 people; the Xu Shu army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, including severely injured and more than 700 deaths.

Then the emperor was dragged to the emperor and led Hong to clean the battlefield, issued notices to calm the people's hearts, and transported various materials to the army for the supply and resettlement of the people. At the same time, a large number of craftsmen with the army came to build housing for the tribes of Shanyue, measure the land, and allocated them to each household according to the policies under the Lü Ninghan, telling the local people to live in harmony with the nations of the tribes of Shanyue, and to promote and publish various laws under the rule of Lu Ning.
