The river is the ancient name of the Yangtze River, and the names of the rivers in that era were named after a certain water. This decree of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made it clear that Huo Guang was the commander of the conquest of South Vietnam, and at the same time granted the right to arbitrarily make Huo Guang the supreme military and political governor south of the Yangtze River in the south of the Han Dynasty.

"If there is nothing else to do, you can go back to your house and rest. General Pingnan stayed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and said, at this time, there must be courtiers who are not convinced, thinking that Huo Guang is not qualified enough to convince the public, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is like this, and these people can only reluctantly retire.

After a while, only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Huo Guangjunchen were left in the huge hall of Weiyang Palace, and even the inner guards who were originally with them withdrew from the main hall, and the brightly lit Weiyang Palace seemed extremely empty at this moment.

"Ah Guang come forward." The voice of Emperor Wu of Han echoed in the empty hall of Weiyang Palace. He didn't call Huo Guang an official title, or even by his name, but called him Ah Guang like an elder. At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still standing in front of the imperial case, and a wooden screen next to the imperial case still hung a map of South Vietnam.

Hearing this, Huo Guang cautiously stepped forward and stopped in front of the imperial case. It is still nine steps away from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and no minister can cross this position during the court meeting according to the etiquette system, and this distance is the prestige of the Son of Heaven of the Han Empire. However, at this location, Huo Guang could already see that a lot of lines had been drawn on the map of South Vietnam, and several arrows pointed to Panyu, the king of South Vietnam, which happened to be consistent with the march route of several large armies arranged by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"It's no longer a court meeting at this moment, there are only you and I here, standing in front of me, you can see clearly when you stand so far away?" Emperor Wu of Han looked at the map and said without looking back.

Huo Guang hesitated for a moment, but lowered his head and continued to take a few steps forward, at this moment he was already standing less than three steps behind Emperor Wu of Han. In fact, Huo Guangdu is still in a trance, although he is also more concerned about the affairs of South Vietnam, and even put a lot of thought into it, but he never imagined that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would hand over the important task of pacifying South Vietnam to himself, and also sealed himself the general of Pingnan, and the right to arbitrarily determine the opportunity.

"It's a long way to go to Nanyue, and I heard that the land of Nanyue is full of mountains and dense forests, and Aiqing should cherish herself!" Emperor Wu of Han turned around and said to Huo Guang in a serious tone, and after finishing speaking, he gently patted Huo Guang's shoulder a few times.

Huo Guang hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, even if he is broken!" ”

"Like ...... It's really too similar..... How similar is this situation to when your brother entered the desert in the north......" Emperor Wu of Han looked at Huo Guang with some distraction, and said in a daze. At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could no longer see the majesty above the court just now, as if an ordinary elder was saying goodbye to his juniors.

At the mention of Huo Quai, Huo Guang was also a little sad and did not answer, but after a while, Emperor Wu of Han seemed to quickly regain his mood and asked solemnly: "Ah Guang, what do you think about pacifying South Vietnam?" Although I have appointed you as General Binh Nam, I would like to know how you plan to pacify South Vietnam? ”

"The minister has a question, I don't know if Your Majesty wants a quick battle or a quick solution once and for all?" Huo Guang recovered quickly after losing his mind for a short time, and he kept thinking about Pingnanluo in his heart, and at this moment, Emperor Wu of Han asked Huo Guang like this just to find out the attitude of Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of Han was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on his face and asked, "What about this quick battle?" What about once and for all? ”

Huo Guang bowed down again and said: "A quick battle is to punish the rebellious ministers, set up another king of Nanyue, and control the princes in the same country." "A simple sentence means to kill Lu Jia and other chief evils, re-establish a pro-Han monarch of Nanyue, and make Nanyue equal to the internal vassal states according to the conditions originally set by the Han Dynasty, so that Nanyue is still the same as the previous Nanyue.

"What's the point of saying that once and for all?" Emperor Wu of Han seemed to be interested, and his interest was obviously much higher than before.

"The minister led the army to pacify South Vietnam, moved north to the royal family, set up counties, and there was no more South Vietnam." Huo Guang spoke loudly, and said a few simple words with pride.

"Okay, what a country without South Vietnam! Aiqing just let it go, I am waiting for your good news in Chang'an! Huo Guang's words also seemed to ignite the pride in Emperor Wu of Han's chest, and he slammed his fist on the screen with the map of South Vietnam, and the screen fell down with a bang, startling the guards outside the palace to rush in.

"All out." Emperor Wu of Han was in a good mood, and before the guards could see what was happening in the hall, they were reprimanded by Emperor Wu of Han again.

When Huo Guang was named the general of Pingnan, he was thinking in his heart how to pacify Nanyue, and what extent was it in the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to pacify Nanyue? Huo Guang thought that there were no more than two results, one was to kill Lu Jia and other powerful ministers of South Vietnam, so that the relationship between the Han and South Vietnam would return to the state before the final army was dispatched. The other is to completely eradicate the existing power of the wealthy clans in South Vietnam, set up counties in South Vietnam and completely incorporate them into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and subtly make the land of South Vietnam also become the people of the Han family.

Prior to this, in fact, the land of Nanyue had always been regarded as a foreign barbarian by the Han dynasty in the Central Plains, and the inhabitants of Nanyue also regarded the people of the Han Dynasty as foreigners. And Huo Guang's so-called once and for all is to do a great integration of nationalities, so that the land of South Vietnam will be completely integrated into the Han cultural circle, and the people on the land of South Vietnam will flow with the blood of the Han family from now on.

"Although I am still suffering from internal and external troubles at the moment, I am happy to have Aiqing's help! At this time, you and I should have drunk a lot of alcohol, but I can't drink this wine now, I want to keep it for you, and I will get drunk with Aiqing on the day of Aiqing's triumph! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty swept away the haze, and said in a good mood at the moment.

A long time ago, Liu Che had a vague feeling that Huo Guang was a person who really understood himself, and only Huo Guang's vision could reach his own height. This time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not use Huo Guang and let a few generals go to pacify South Vietnam, then he would definitely be able to pacify it smoothly in the end, but these people would definitely be limited to quelling the rebellion in South Vietnam. Then moved north to the Nanyue Hao clan and set up counties and counties, these things were still indispensable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If an emperor needs to do everything himself, of course, it is better to have a courtier who understands his mind and has the ability to do things, and this is the real reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reused Huo Guang in advance.

The news that Huo Guang was crowned as the general of Pingnan and became the supreme military and political governor of the Han Dynasty south of the river spread throughout Chang'an City early the next morning, and then the news spread all over the world as quickly as wings. At the same time, the whole world knew that the Great Han had begun a formal conquest of South Vietnam. Several armies have also been assembled one after another, and the entire Han is running at full strength like a huge machine. Because the areas where several armies are assembled are different, and the routes of entry and exit are also different, the generals of each route are also responsible for each army. In the plan, Huo Guang, as the commander of the army, needed to set off from Chang'an with the Chinese army and grain and grass after several armies had been assembled, and Huo Guang, the wartime command position, chose it at Yangshan Pass on the border between the two countries.

In this expedition to South Vietnam, among the several large armies led by Huo Guang, except for the Chinese army led by himself, which was composed of 2,000 soldiers from the Gate Army and 3,000 county soldiers drawn from the land of Sanfu, the other roads were all temporary patchwork miscellaneous soldiers. Among them, the general of Fubo, Lu Bode, is mainly led by the prisoner army in Gyeonggi, the number of which is about 60,000, plus the sailors south of Jianghuai, the total number of the two is about 100,000, but the water of these 100,000 people is a bit large, the prisoners are usually not well fed and clothed, and their physical fitness is already very poor, and they don't know how many people will die on the way to South Vietnam, so although Lu Bode has the largest number of people along the way, his combat effectiveness is actually very poor. The rest is the Louchuan Navy led by Yang Fu, the general of the Lou Boat, which is a regular army, but the number of the Lou Ship Navy is not much, only more than 10,000 people. The remaining roads are patchwork of county soldiers from all over the country, and even He Yi is still alone, and he has to go to the southwest to borrow troops from Bashu Yelang and other countries, so it seems that the Chinese army led by Huo Guang is the most elite.

On the fifth day after the Korean meeting, the various armies of the expedition to South Vietnam have basically been assembled in various places, at this time Huo Guang is almost ready, today is the day when he led the army to leave Chang'an and go south, the battle of the country may be protracted, before leaving, Li Yan kept telling Huo Guang to take care of himself outside, and personally put on armor for him.

"If the husband is not there, everything in the family depends on the wife!" Huo Guang held Li Yan's hand and said softly.

"The concubine is waiting for her husband to return triumphantly as soon as possible in Chang'an, and her husband should be careful when he is outside, don't worry about trivial matters at home!" Li Yan showed the demeanor of a noble lady, although she was very reluctant, she also knew that Huo Guang was going to make meritorious contributions, and what she did was to leave a name in history and praise the great cause of the ages, and she was proud of her husband in her heart.

Huo Guang nodded heavily, kissed Li Yan lightly on the forehead, and then hung the saber used by Huo Qu's illness on his waist and turned around and walked out. However, as soon as he left the door, Huo Guang was stunned, because under the eaves, a slender figure wearing a scribe's robe and a bamboo crown was waiting for him with his head down.

"Sister Tang? What are you doing? Huo Guang took a closer look, this person was Huo Tang who was dressed as a man.

"The gentleman is far away from here, and it is the time to employ people around him, and women are forbidden to enter and leave the army, so the slave maid thought of this!" Huo Tang lowered his head a little stiffly and whispered, he learned that Huo Guang went south this time, and in addition to the twelve guards accompanying him, only Shangguan Ji of Jingzhao Yin Mansion was transferred to the army, and there was no one close to him.

"This ...... Sister Tang has a heart! It's just that the conditions in South Vietnam are difficult, and it's hard to bear it for a daughter's family to go to the mountains and roads! "It's not that Huo Guang doesn't want Huo Tang to accompany him, after all, Huo Tang has mastered the intelligence system under his hands, and this woman is also worry-free, which is a rare help, but it is a little unbearable to let a woman follow him in the army for a few years.

"Don't be afraid, the slave and maid have been displaced with their father since they were children, and they have survived all the way to the difficult environment, as long as they can follow the king to share their worries for the king, even if the slave and maid are willing to do so." Huo Tang hurriedly said, for fear that Huo Guang would not want her to accompany him.

"You girl, how many times have you said that you should stop calling yourself a slave in the future. This is your home, and I am also your relative. It's okay if you want to go, but this problem has to be corrected later. Huo Guang deliberately pretended to be serious and said.

"Slave...... The little sister is all under the orders of the second brother! Huo Tang blushed and whispered, she buried her head low, but she felt extremely warm in her heart. Huo Guang once told her that she could call herself second brother in the future, so that Huo Tang would not call herself a slave, but this woman had always adhered to her duties and did not do what Huo Guang wanted.

"Then come in a carriage when I'm gone, and I'll let Eleven Twelve escort you." Then Sister Tang, I'm waiting for you at Yangshan Pass, ....." After saying this, Huo Guang left the mansion surrounded by all the masters and servants of Anyang Jun's Mansion and officially embarked on the journey of the southern expedition!
