The final army did not stay long in Huo Guang's mansion before leaving, and he was going to be an envoy in three days, and there were still many things to do during this period, and Huo Guang did not leave him. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

"Since there is a beautiful woman in the family, Benjun will not keep you." Huo Guang said with a smile, making the final army a little embarrassed.

South Vietnam is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it is estimated that it will take a year at the earliest for the final army to arrive in South Vietnam to complete the mission. During this time, Huo Guang couldn't help much, everything depended on the final army himself.

It was already night, but at this moment, Emperor Wu of Han did not appear at any of the concubines, but sat alone in the mysterious palace where the cloth was hung. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held a bamboo slip in his hand, which was the "Feng Zen Book" compiled by Sima Xiangru. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the bamboo slips with a knowing smile for a while, and then looked up at the cloth on his side, his eyes swept over the names, and from time to time he showed a thoughtful expression.

When Emperor Wu of Han's gaze fell on Huo Quzhi's name, the look in his eyes suddenly darkened. Now I have also drawn a circle of Huo Quai's name.

"South Vietnam... North Korea... Huns... Western regions... There's so much more I have to do! Emperor Wu of Han muttered to himself, only at this moment could he see the urgency and anxiety on Emperor Wu of Han's face.

"If you're still here, I don't have to worry so much about it!" Emperor Wu of Han said to himself again, his words were full of regret, and at this moment he couldn't help but think of the last time he saw Huo Quai. And the conversation between the two Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is still vivid.

"The hussar general listens to the order, I want you to recover as soon as possible, and then lead a large army into Dunhuang County to sweep away the countries of the Western Regions for me."

"Your Majesty, the minister still has a word, if the minister has an accident, the minister will recommend a person for His Majesty to pass through the Western Regions. This person is his younger brother Huo Guang. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty remembered that Huo Quzhi's last words to himself turned out to be that he recommended Huo Guang to go through the Western Regions. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actually had an arrangement a few years ago, the original intention was to let Huo Qubing go to the Western Regions, but Huo Quai's sudden death disrupted many of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He thought for a moment and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand again. In the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang is indeed capable. In particular, Chang'an Ling created the scene of Chang'an Weiyang and the night market. There is also the suppression of the Hanoi rebellion, and there is no problem for him to stand alone. However, Emperor Wu of Han knew in his heart that there was a more important thing that Huo Guang had to do personally.

In the past month, Huo Guang has spent a period of leisure time, attending the next court meeting every few days, and then dealing with official business every day. And the entire Han Empire was also very calm in this spring. The Xiongnu in the north have never appeared again, and the final army has not yet reached South Vietnam, and there is no news there. The countries of the Western Regions did not change much, and the commercial and trade activities of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions became more and more prosperous. Even Nanxiyi honestly guards himself.

However, all this was broken by the supreme ruler of the Han Empire himself at today's court meeting.

Without any prior warning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued several decrees in succession at the court meeting.

"From the hussar Zhao Ponu led 20,000 cavalry into Dunhuang County, and controlled the soldiers and horses of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the four counties of Hexi." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's first decree made the atmosphere of the entire court suddenly condense to the top. A simple order that made everyone suddenly feel a taste of a big war was coming.

Then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued several more decrees. And these wills are all adjustments to the border defenses without exception, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has not clearly stated any war intentions, but everyone understands that this is a precursor to the use of troops against the countries of the Western Regions!

Troops against the Western Regions. It was a matter of time, but Huo Guang didn't expect it to come so quickly. Of course, now Huo Guang is only Jing Zhaoyin, and these frontier wars have little direct relationship with him, and Huo Guang only slightly thinks about some pros and cons in his heart.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Chang'an lively again, of course, this is not the excitement of the market, but the matter between the powerful, some people are going to the frontier, and some people are back in charge of the army, so it is naturally lively.

As soon as Huo Guang returned to the house, before he settled, someone reported that Zhao Ponu, Fulu Zhi, and Yi Jixuan had come to visit. Huo Guang knew that these three people were all sent to Hexi by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and these three people were Huo Quai's henchmen, and later they were successfully taken over by Huo Guang, and the three of them must have resigned when they came.

Huo Guang also had some yearning for being able to expand his territory and fight on the battlefield, but he knew that his qualifications and prestige were not enough to independently take on the heavy responsibility of navigating the Western Regions.

The three of them are now marquises, but they are still polite to Huo Guang, and they all salute Huo Guang first when they see him. Huo Guang led the three of them into the study and sat down separately.

"The three of them are going to Hexi to cherish a lot." Huo Guang was the first to speak.

"Ah Guang, we have something else to ask you." Zhao Ponu had a good relationship with Huo Guang, so he spoke very casually.

"You came to me just after this court meeting, it seems that Your Majesty has not summoned you again, this is what you want to ask, right?" Huo Guang said with a smile, Zhao Ponu and the three of them came to find him so quickly, Huo Guang thought of a lot.

Huo Guang thought for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty only let you be stationed in Dunhuang, but did not give you a clear instruction whether to guard against the countries of the Western Regions or take the opportunity to sweep the countries. Then there is only one purpose, and that is to let you train your troops. The relationship between the countries of the Western Regions is complicated, and it is estimated that His Majesty's intention is to sweep the Western Regions in one fell swoop with the power of thunder, and not give the countries time to unite. And isn't Bo Wanghou in the Western Regions now? His Majesty will not make any further moves until he returns. When you go to Hexi, pay attention to the movements in the Western Regions and train your troops diligently. It is estimated that the real action should be two years later, and at that time, His Majesty will definitely send another person to the Consul General, and the general is the most likely. ”

Huo Guang told the three of them what he knew, and this analysis would not be far from ten, if Huo Qu was ill and did not die, maybe Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have to be so troublesome, and the person who was sent to lead the affairs of the Western Regions must be the young and strong Huo Quai, not Wei Qing.

Zhao Ponu and the others have established a relationship with Huo Guang in the Battle of Mobei, and they are also well aware of Huo Guang's analytical ability, and they are also convinced of Huo Guang's words at this moment.

"In that case, I'll be much more relieved." Zhao Ponu also has a reputation for self-knowledge, and there is nothing wrong with letting him charge into battle and march to fight, but if he wants to complete such a thing as passing through the Western Regions independently, he thinks he can't do it.

"To completely incorporate the Western Regions into the territory of the Han Dynasty will be a protracted matter. There is still a long way to go! "Huo Guang knows that navigating the Western Regions is a great achievement, and if he succeeds, it is nothing to be famous through the ages, but it is also a difficult task, and not everyone can complete it.

"I'll wait to go to Hexi to fight the horses. Maybe we and Ah Guang can meet in Hexi. Fu Lu Zhi said with a smile. In his opinion, in a few years, maybe Huo Guangzhen might also be sent to Hexi.

"Heh, if Your Majesty has a will. Then I have to go. Huo Guang said casually, no one can say for sure about these things, who knows what Emperor Wu of Han thinks?

A few people then chatted for a while and then left, and Huo Guang personally sent the three out. Before Huo Guang returned to the backyard, someone said that someone from the palace had passed the word, and asked Huo Guang to enter the palace immediately to meet him.

"Your Majesty summoned me? How is it night? Huo Guang was puzzled in his heart, at night, the guards of Weiyang Palace were extremely strict, except for the emperor's handwritten edict, no one was allowed to enter or do anything. Huo Guang felt that something was unusual, and immediately hurried to the gate of Weiyang Palace.

Since it was night. Although there were already chamberlains waiting at the palace gate with the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, Huo Guang was still inspected from top to bottom, compared the seal letters, and searched his body. Huo Guang was released after working for a long time.

Huo Guang was led to the palace by the chamberlain, although it was night, Huo Guang still knew the way. It seems that the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned him was Jinhua Palace. Jinhua Hall is generally a place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned his courtiers alone to discuss confidential matters. Last time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Huo Guang to arrange the scenery of Chang'an Weiyang in Jinhua Palace.

Walking into the Jinhua Palace, the door of the temple was immediately closed. Huo Guang went inside and saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reading a book of bamboo slips under the lamp, and the bamboo slips looked a little familiar?

"Chen Huoguang greets Your Majesty!" Huo Guang respectfully knelt down outside the three zhangs.

"Ah Guang is not polite, come, come to me." Emperor Wu of Han looked up at Huo Guang, and said with a generous smile on his face, just like an elder in the family to a nephew.

Seeing this, Huo Guang couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, "Oh no, there must be some difficult errand" A bad premonition rose in Huo Guang's heart, but he still approached Emperor Wu of Han respectfully.

This Huo Guang stopped five feet away from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and stood sideways to one side. At this moment, Huo Guang also saw clearly what the bamboo slip in the hand of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was, it was the "Feng Zen Book" compiled by Sima Xiangru.

"Sima Changqing's book is still dedicated to me by you! I heard that Zhuo Wenjun is also in your house? Emperor Wu of Han stared at the bamboo slips and said seemingly casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, Aunt Sima treats me like a nephew, and now she is lonely, I should do my filial piety." Huo Guang said naturally.

"It's rare that you are so hearted, I came to you today because I want to discuss something with you?" Emperor Wu of Han put down the bamboo slips, looked at Huo Guang and said.

"Your Majesty, please command." Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the word "consultation", Huo Guang would not take it seriously.

Emperor Wu of Han didn't say anything immediately, but stood up, and then took a step and walked casually in the Jinhua Palace. Huo Guang didn't know what Emperor Wu of Han had in mind, so he could only follow behind.

"Look at the paintings on this wall, they are all famous mountains and rivers and rare things in the world, and these should have been engraved on Jiuding." Emperor Wu of Han suddenly pointed to the wall and said.

"The minister has also heard of Jiuding, but Jiuding has disappeared since Qin unified the world." Huo Guang echoed on the side. Not to mention Huo Guang, from ancient times to the present, any Chinese has heard more or less of the legend of Jiuding. This Jiuding from the beginning of the summer cast to Qin unified the world for more than 2,000 years, are the standard of Chinese imperial power, later generations rumored that Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei sank it in Surabaya, since then there is no trace.

"Before Gaozu ascended the throne, he also sent people to secretly search for it, but not many people knew about it. I came to you because of this. "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally said what he was looking for Huo Guang.

"This ...... His Majesty's ministers are looking for Jiuding? The minister heard that Qin Huangzheng had also salvaged in Surabaya back then, and Emperor Gaozu had also secretly searched for it, so he was afraid that he would be entrusted by His Majesty! Huo Guang never expected that Emperor Wu of Han would give him such an errand. Even Qin Shi Huang and Han Gaozu couldn't find something, so he didn't have the slightest confidence to go to Huo Guang.

"I plan to seal Mount Tai within five years, you are a smart person, you should know how to do it. This time, I gave you a secret decree, and the law will not be passed on to the six ears. Emperor Wu of Han didn't seem to listen to what Huo Guang said, and had already finished talking to himself.

"Obey." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already said that this was a secret decree, and if Huo Guang didn't want to resist the decree, he could only take this errand. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty told Huo Guang that he would seal Zen within five years, and finding Jiuding was that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to build momentum for himself.
