The news of Huo Guang's massacre of the city soon spread to Panyu, and South Vietnam was shocked, and in an instant, the entire South Vietnam was united in hatred, and everyone was eager to go to the front line to slash Huo Guang. And Huo Guang just let the army do a simple rest for a day, and then continued to march towards the next walled city.

Chang'an City is still full of flowers, and the war in the south has not affected the prosperity of Chang'an City, but only gives the city more after-dinner conversation.

But since Huo Guang went south, the main hall of Weiyang Palace has become busier than before, and the court meeting that was originally held once a few days has become a routine every day, and the last time this situation occurred was when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing went north to fight the Battle of Mobei.

In the autumn of the first year of Yuan Ding, General Pingnan led the army to break through Zhongsu County, South Vietnam, and it was General Pingnan who ordered the slaughter of the city to sacrifice 2,000 fallen soldiers in Yangshan Pass. There are 20,000 South Vietnamese soldiers and civilians in Zhongsu County, and none of them are alive. The main hall of Weiyang Palace echoed with Su Wen's suppressed voice, this is the second good news of South Vietnam received by the Han Dynasty in half a month.

However, when he heard Huo Guang's order to slaughter the city, the court instantly became a whisper. Some ministers were excited, who felt that this move was very happy, and some frowned slightly and felt that Huo Guang's move was a bit too heavy, and some people considered whether the massacre had a positive or negative effect on the pacification of South Vietnam.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not express any opinion on this, and then routinely discussed with the courtiers the affairs of the world. The courtiers saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not express their opinion on this, and no one discussed the matter of Huo Guang's massacre.

Chang'an City didn't know Huo Guang's specific actions, but in the past few days, he has been receiving good news from Huo Guang almost every day.

In the autumn of the first year of Yuan Ding, General Pingnan led the army to attack Qingyuan, South Vietnam, and broke the city of Qingyuan in two days of fierce fighting. General Pingnan ordered the city to be slaughtered for one day, and Qingyuan City was ten rooms and nine empty. "Another good news of Huo Guang, the same slaughter of the city. Before that, Huo Guang had already had four or five good news, all of which were carried out in the way of slaughtering the city without exception. It's just that these walled cities are not as big as the earliest Zhongsu and today's Qingyuan, and they are all small walled cities with hundreds or thousands.

This time, the whispers in the court turned into a chaotic noise, and some people began to understand Huo Guang's behavior, and some people began to question Huo Guang. Even some imperial historians are thinking in their hearts whether to join Huo Guang's book, although Huo Guang is the commander of the Southern Expedition, but the purpose of the Southern Expedition of the Great Han is to recover the land of Nanyue and get its people and things, Huo Guang slaughtered all the way, and the people of Nanyue were killed to the point that there is not much left, what is the use of this South Vietnam?

Emperor Wu of Han looked at the chaotic court, coughed lightly, and then naturally led the topic to other places.

In the following days, Chang'an did not receive Huo Guang's good news, and the courtiers thought that Huo Guang's habit of slaughtering the city should almost end there, but half a month later, at the court meeting in Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang's good news came again. This time, all the courtiers held their breath, wanting to hear whether there was anything in this good news that Huo Guang had ordered the slaughter of the city.

"In the autumn of the first year of Yuan Ding, General Pingnan led a large army to attack Quang Ninh in South Vietnam, and the rebel minister of South Vietnam, General Lu Wuji mobilized 30,000 heavy troops to defend Guanglin. General Pingnan lured Lü Wuji out of the city with a trick, ambushed him in the camp, and then captured the city of Guangning in a fierce battle for three days. Hearing this, the courtiers were all attentive, and the entire Weiyang Palace hall held their breath.

I don't know if the good news really ended here, or if Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief here and fell into a brief pause. Just when the courtiers were about to put down their hanging hearts, Su Wen's voice sounded again: "General Pingnan ordered to slaughter the city for three days." Quang Ninh South Vietnamese soldiers and civilians were about 70,000, and the rest were less than 1,000....."

This time, the main hall of Weiyang Palace exploded, and the court hall of the Han Dynasty was like a vegetable market for the first time.

"Butcher..... Huo Guang, this butcher ....."

"What does he want to do? Will you just kill all the way to Panyu City? And then kill all the two-legged people on the land of South Vietnam? ”

"Huo Guang should be summoned to stop the massacre immediately, didn't he think about the attitude of the Quartet Zhuyi towards my Han in the future?"

"Youthful and vigorous, too youthful and vigorous....."

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, except for a few ministers who remained silent, almost everyone criticized Huo Guang. If Huo Guang was above the court at the moment, it is estimated that someone would have made a move against him now.

Emperor Wu of Han looked at the excited appearance below, and his brows were slightly furrowed. Su Wen seemed to notice the change in Emperor Wu of Han, and hurriedly shouted, "Be quiet...... Silence ......."

Su Wen shouted a few times in a row before the court gradually quieted down. The courtiers all looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but no one could see the expression of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Pingnan's move is very inappropriate. Our Han sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers and spent a lot of financial and material resources to attack South Vietnam, do you really want to slaughter the people of South Vietnam? Then move south to my Central Plains people to South Vietnam to feed mosquitoes? Sang Hongyang came out and said, this is a very formal duet, and he put the problem on the table to discuss.

At this time, the population of South Vietnam was at its peak since ancient times, about 1 million. But Huo Guang has killed more than 100,000 people in just half a month, and he has basically killed one-tenth of the population of South Vietnam.

The courtiers were waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to speak, and the foreign wars of the Han Dynasty were not without such a slaughtering war, and when they were against the Xiongnu in the north, both Wei Qing and Huo Qubing slaughtered many Xiongnu tribes. However, there is an essential difference between Nanyue and the Xiongnu, one is that the land of Nanyue has never taken the initiative to invade the Han Dynasty, and has always been in a relatively weak position. Second, the ruling class of South Vietnam for nearly a hundred years was actually the Qin army of the Southern Expedition of that year, and after nearly a hundred years of integration, more than half of the people in South Vietnam actually have Han Chinese ancestry, and their cultural customs are also deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains.

"I mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to march south, and spent countless amounts of food, grass and materials, so the expedition was not to reason with the South Vietnamese barbarians..... If you have nothing to do today, you will retreat. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not directly express his position on Huo Guang or his behavior, but he clearly expressed his attitude in just one sentence. The last sentence of retreating from the dynasty made the Manchu civil and military seem to have eaten a closed door!

Since then, the name of Huo Guang Butcher has spread all over the world, and almost everywhere there are people talking about Huo Guang. The South Vietnamese Kingdom has changed from the initial hatred of the same enemy to panic and despair, and the city of Panyu is shrouded in a gloomy cloud. The whole of South Vietnam has become panicked, many families have begun to hide in the mountains with their children and the elderly, and all commercial activities in the city have stopped. Even the tens of thousands of South Vietnamese troops guarding Panyu no longer have the mood to resist, the soldiers are in panic all day long, the generals are thinking about how to survive, and even the important ministers in the country are also thinking about how to protect themselves.

It can be said that Huo Guang's army has not arrived, and Panyu City is already on the verge of collapse......

On a hillside in the north of Quang Ninh City, South Vietnam, Huo Guang was standing on the top of the mountain looking at the blazing Quang Ninh City not far away. Huo Tang stood behind Huo Guang and held a cowhide umbrella for him, just when the army broke through Guangning, a light rain fell in the sky, but the rain that had lasted for a day did not extinguish the fire in Guangning City. When he ordered the slaughter of the city that day, Huo Guang also ordered the burning of this important northern town of South Vietnam.

There were 70,000 soldiers and civilians in Guangning City, and the slaughter of the Han army was also carried out for two whole days, and even at this moment there were sporadic killings in the city, mixed with rain, the blood pool in Guangning City had flowed out of the city gate, and the whole land was blood-red. If the slaughter city of Zhongsu is purgatory on earth, then this Guangning City is the real Huangquan Hell, maybe the real Huangquan Hell is not so terrible.....

"Do you regret coming to South Vietnam with me?" Huo Guang looked at Guangning City, he couldn't see any change on his face, as if he was talking to himself, but the voice happened to fall into Huo Tang's ears behind him.

Since Zhongsu, Huo Tang has rarely spoken. Although she was still doing her part, she became silent, just silently following behind Huo Guang, and even more often closed her eyes, trying not to see the outside world.

"I don't know...... I don't know if it's right for you to do this? After a long time, Huo Tang said in a low voice, as if he was asking himself, and as if he was questioning Huo Guang.

"I know you've had a lot to ask me these days, but you've been holding back. Although I have already looked at you differently, I have to admit that I still underestimated you, if you are a man, I am afraid that my achievements are still above me! Do you know that when Your Majesty named me General Pingnan that day, I offered two Pingnan strategies for Your Majesty? Huo Guang said to herself, and Huo Tang finally opened her eyes and looked at Huo Guang's back, she didn't expect Huo Guang to have such a high opinion of her, and she also knew that Huo Guang's next words would explain her doubts in recent days.

Huo Tang didn't answer, just quietly waited for Huo Guang to continue, "The first strategy is a quick solution, kill the rebellious ministers of South Vietnam and set up a new king, as long as you surrender to my Han, South Vietnam will still be South Vietnam in the future." The second strategy is to kill the rebellious ministers, move north to the Nanyue Hao clan, and set up counties, so that there will be no Nanyue again. ”

"Your Majesty chose the second strategy?" Huo Tang's eyes finally showed a hint of brilliance, and she couldn't wait to ask, she seemed to have thought of something, but no matter how smart she was, she was still a girl after all, and she couldn't reach the height of Huo Guang and Liu Che, and some of the keys could not be understood.

"What do you think of these South Vietnamese people as they view the people of the Central Plains? When we call them Nanyi, they actually call us Han barbarians as well! I don't know if you ever thought that if South Vietnam was strong and the Han was weak, and South Vietnam swung its army north, those who fell under the butcher's knife, like a corpse in this city, should be replaced by the people of the Central Plains, including you and my relatives and friends, and even you and me..... Rather be a peaceful dog, don't be a troubled world....." Huo Guang seemed to be telling something that had nothing to do with him, but with his words, Huo Tang's expression became more and more relaxed, and his gaze became as firm as before.

"I'm sorry second brother....." Huo Tang's voice trembled a little, and it was difficult to hide the deep self-blame in his heart. Then he remembered the various news he had received in recent days, and said to Huo Guang with some concern: "Recently, my little sister has received a lot of news, and now what the second brother has done in South Vietnam has shocked the world, and I am afraid that this matter will have a great impact on the reputation of the second brother!" ”

"Are you worried that I'm saddled with this infamy?" Huo Guang suddenly turned around and asked Huo Tang with a smile on his face.

Huo Tang was puzzled why Huo Guang seemed so relaxed at this moment? But she also had to persuade: "Xiaomei is worried that the matter of South Vietnam is a great achievement of the king, and it will also become a place where the king will be attacked and deceived in the future!" ”

"By the way, Lu Shu saw Zhao Guang a few days ago, didn't that Cangwu King say that he wanted to meet me? Now we can indeed go to meet this King of Cangwu, you let Lu Shu arrange it, and say that this monarch will go to Guangxin to visit King Cangwu in person five days later. Huo Guang didn't seem to be worried about being infamous as a butcher, nor did he answer Huo Tang's doubts. Instead, he walked towards the bottom of the mountain, arranging a meeting with Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, as he walked. Huo Tang followed closely with a cowhide umbrella, and after the two of them walked out a few zhang, only twelve guards and personal soldiers walked out from all around.
