Seeing Han Xuan calling for help, Yu Xuan danced the spear in his hand and rushed into the Shanyue soldiers, and the spear swept around his waist, sweeping several Shanyue soldiers to the ground.

Han Xuan rode a horse and slashed with a sword, hacked two Shanyue soldiers to death, and rushed to Yu turned over. The two of them killed the enemy together, and finally killed all the more than ten Shanyue soldiers.

Yu wiped the blood from the spear and asked Han Xuan, "Why is the lord here alone, where is the left and right?" ”

Han Xuan wiped the blood splashed on his face and replied, "They all went to hunt down and kill the Shanyue generals." ”

Yu looked at the surrounding terrain, and the weeds grew deep enough to hide in a large number of ambushes. Yu Xuan hurriedly told Han Xuan to dismount and said, "This place is overgrown with wild grass, and once you are in danger, you can't respond quickly on horseback. Therefore, please lead the horse with a bow and arrow behind, and a good spear can explore the way for the lord in front. ”

Han Xuan and Yu Fu were vigilant and slowly moved forward, and then the two reached the flat land, Yu Xuan persuaded Han Xuan to get on the horse, Han Xuan asked, "What if you don't have a horse?" ”

Yu replied: "I am good at walking, but I can travel 300 miles a day. In this expedition to Shanyue, none of the officials and soldiers walked faster than me, and if the lord did not believe it, he could try to ride forward, and I could follow closely. ”

Han Xuan urged the Qilin horse to run forward, and when he looked back, he saw Yu Fu running behind sweating. Han Xuan felt sorry for him that he was tired of running, so he slowed down, and Yu Xuan gradually caught up.

Later, the two came to the avenue and met a drummer, so Han Xuan took the drummer's horn and played it himself. Han Xuan played quickly and long, Chen Wugang waved his gun and swept away several Shanyue soldiers, and when he heard that this was Han Xuan's sound, he shouted loudly to the sergeants: "This is played by the lord, and all the soldiers will go with me to the rescue!" ”

Chen Wu led his troops and the soldiers and horses of various units to slowly gather together, and finally met Han Xuan, who ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. Zhang Zhao saw that Han Xuan was covered in blood, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't the lord personally go into battle to kill the enemy?" Tell the medic to see if there are any injuries. ”

Han Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Zhao and said, "This time, thanks to Zhong Xiang's rescue, he killed the enemy soldiers. Today, the thief's first chapter is ambushed, and he can appease his people to fill the army. ”

Zhang Zhao bowed and said: "Please cherish the body of ten thousand gold, and never fight in person, so that the whole army is worried about you." The matter of appeasing the people of Shanyue will be arranged by Zhaozi. ”

Han Xuan thought that Zhang Zhao was a little verbose, although he was indeed good for himself, but he hadn't been in battle to kill the enemy for a long time, and this time the fight was exciting.

Zhang Zhao suggested that Han Xuan draw cakes for the Shanyue people, promising to give them the land as long as they came to surrender. And in the first year, only one percent of the public rations need to be paid, and one male from each household will join the army.

Han Xuan's policy was much better than the previous county decrees, and many Shanyue people came out of the mountains to surrender. However, there are still five people, including Hong Ming, Hong Jin, Yuan Yu, Wu Fu, and Hua Dang, who each led 10,000 households to camp in dangerous places, and their activities were still rampant.

Han Xuan sent people to lure them many times, but they all refused to surrender. Han Xuan discussed countermeasures with Yu Tuo, Zhang Zhao and others, and Yu Tuo said: "When Wang Lang arrived at Huiji, he saw that the people of Huiji were still worshipping Qin Shi Huang and were in the same temple as Xia Yu. Wang Lang thought that Qin Shi Huang was a virtuous monarch and did not deserve to be sacrificed by the people, so he banned it. Now Wang Lang resigned, and the people returned to worship Qin Shi Huang, and the Shanyue people resented Qin Shi Huang, so they refused to surrender. ”

Zhang Zhao then admonished Han Xuan: "Please follow Wang Lang's example and ban the people's worship of Qin Shi Huang." ”

Han Xuan rejected Zhang Zhao's proposal, believing that Qin Shi Huang's merits were greater than his faults, and that Qin Shi Huang's southern expedition to Baiyue promoted the development of the southern region. There is nothing wrong with the people of Huiji sacrificing Qin Shi Huang, this is a custom of other people, so why do you have to forcibly change it?

Han Xuan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, there is no malice in the people's sacrifice to Qin Shi Huang. How could Hong Ming, Hong Jin and other thieves come down because of this? A certain only needs to select talents in the counties of Huiji to fill the posts in the counties, open up the tuntian, and coach the soldiers. Jiaoshan Yue did not dare to attack. ”

Zhang Zhao had no choice but to give up, Han Xuan recruited a large number of Shanyue people, and after the reorganization, he had 10,000 soldiers. However, most of the weapons and armor of the Shanyue people are of different copper and iron, and they cannot be replaced after wear, and even many people do not have iron weapons.

In view of the uneven combat effectiveness of the newly formed army, Han Xuan personally led them to practice the formation, and Chen Wu and Yu Fu also helped train the soldiers. Han Xuan ordered Lü Dai and Xu Sheng to take over Tai Shici's 10,000 troops stationed in Wusheng, and Han Xuan trained the recruits and marched with them in two ways, and finally rendezvoused in Shanyin, the city of Huiji County.

He Qi sent news that he had pacified Dongye, but the surrounding area of Dongye was too vast to govern. He Qi asked Han Xuan for instructions on what to do, Han Xuan consulted with Zhang Zhao and Yu Xuan, and Yu Xuan said: "Qin rules the world with the county system, so that Kyushu can be pacified." The lord can add county halls around Dongye to consolidate the foundation. ”

Han Xuan thought that since he was cutting down Shanyue on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he would naturally be named after the year of Emperor Han Xian. Han Xuan then decided: "Three counties can be set up around Dongye, named 'Jian'an', 'Hanxing', and 'Nanping', and He Qi will be the southern governor and be fully responsible for the establishment of the county." ”

As soon as the decree was issued, the horse hurried back to Dongye. Han Xuan said to everyone: "He Qi pacified Dongye, and he made great contributions. We must also speed up the process, and after the autumn harvest, the soldiers will be sent to Cheng County! ”

Zhang'an is close to the sea, and many people rely on going out to sea to fish for a living, but the sea is very windy and rough, and it is very dangerous to go to sea. Han Xuan ate sea fish in Zhang'an during this time, and on this day Han Xuan and Chen Wu came to the bay as usual, and an old fisherman rowed a small boat out to sea and came back.

Han Xuan shouted at him: "Old Dingtou, what fresh fish can you catch today?" ”

Lao Dingtou rowed the boat to the shore, shook the old fishing net, and sighed: "They are all small fish, and in previous years, they were all big fish of more than 20 catties." ”

Chen Wu asked his subordinates to help pick up the fishing nets and shake off all the fish in the nets, which were indeed small fish. The fish that Lao Dingtou brought back this time were only the size of freshwater fish, and Han Xuan was tired of eating these red groupers, pomfret and mackerel, and Han Xuan didn't want to accept it.

But relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, Lao Dingtou lives by fishing, who does he not accept so many fish from him to sell? Han Xuan still paid for these sea fish.

Han Xuan asked the sergeants to carry batches of sea fish packed in sacks back to the barracks, and suddenly rowed back a small boat from the sea, and the people on board wailed: "There are pirates! ”

Han Xuan looked back and saw that a few fishermen came down from the boat, and one of them was in shock due to excessive bleeding from several arrows. Han Xuan and Chen Wu went over and asked, "What's wrong?" Where did the pirates come from? ”

A fisherman named Wang Wu cried: "It is a pirate from Niutou Mountain, and there is an island called Niutou Mountain fifty or sixty miles away from here. There were five or six hundred pirates entrenched above, and the fishermen in the fishing village were afraid of the pirate leader Hu Wei, and only dared to fish in the offshore waters. A few young people in the village and I were going to go out to sea to catch some big fish, but we didn't expect to meet the pirates led by Hu Wei, and without saying a word, he ordered someone to shoot arrows at us. Poor my companion Shao Dong was shot three times, and several of his companions were killed. ”

Han Xuan was furious when he heard this: "If a few pirates dare to do evil under my rule, the generals will fight with me!" ”

Chen Wu sighed and said, "But our army doesn't have warships, how can we fight with Hu Wei and other pirates?" ”

Han Xuan gritted his teeth angrily and said, "If only Gan Ning were here, he would definitely be able to subdue these pirates." ”

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other generals have been sent by Han Xuan to Changsha to guard against Jiangxia Huangzu, Liu Pan joined forces with Ma and thieves in Jiangxia to make trouble, constantly attacking Changsha, and had to be guarded against.

Han Xuan consulted with Yu Xuan, and Yu Xuan said: "Just pirates don't bother the lord, there is a dock in Yongning, and the lord can mobilize three Mong, and once the lord's army arrives, he will definitely be able to defeat the pirates!" ”

Yongning's dockyard was built by Wang Lang when he was in office, because Han Xuan's opponents were mainly on land, and Han Xuan's army was not of much use. Han Xuan and Chen Wu transferred three Mongs and drove along the seashore to Zhang'an, and Han Xuan saw many small islands on the way. Han Xuan sighed with emotion: "How vast the sea is, it seems that it is time to form a navy!" ”

Chen Wu stood on the sampan, the sea breeze blew his bangs, he opened his arms and smiled: "Yes, our journey is the sea of stars!" ”
