There are only two people left in the Xuanshu Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Sang Hongyang Junchen, this situation rarely happens, the earliest recorded is that Emperor Wen and Jia Yi have that time, to the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang went out to Nanyue on the night there was such a time. Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Sang Hongyang are alone in the Xuanshu Palace, which is the third time.

"Come forward." Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand and asked Sang Hongyang to come closer.

"Anping Hou...... You said Huo ....... Will Anyang Hou rebel? Sang Hongyang, who hadn't taken a few steps, heard the old voice of Emperor Wu of Han ringing in his ears.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's question stumped Sang Hongyang. If a few years ago, maybe Sang Hongyang would have taken the opportunity to directly say that Huo Guang would be opposed, but now he can't open this mouth!

"Minister..... I don't know ....." Sang Hongyang lowered his head and stood half a zhang away from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"I don't know..... I don't know..... I wonder if Jin'er also went to Dunhuang? Emperor Wu of Han said wistfully.

People say that old people are forgetful, and they may forget what happened a moment ago, but the memories of their best years will become clearer and clearer in their minds at the end of their lives. Some memories that have been forgotten will also reappear unconsciously, and now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has also reached this age.

These days, he often recalls his first wife Gillian, as well as his sister Princess Yang Nobunaga, and the bits and pieces of Wei Zifu and his eldest son Liu Ju also appear from time to time. He still remembered that he had a grandson named Liu Jin, and he liked that grandson very much, but he couldn't find it.

In addition to these people, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also kept coming up with a cloth with countless names written on it, and each name on it would become a magnificent epic, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty remembered it vividly.

The name Huo Guang, and the things related to this name, made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feel like a lot of things happened yesterday. It was a young man who had talked eloquently in front of him and was also high-spirited, and he had made countless contributions to the Southern and Northern Wars of the Han Dynasty, but this person became the person he was most unwilling to face and the most afraid to face.

"Do you know what Anyang Hou's intention is to divide the three courtyards?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wandered the world for a long time, and finally remembered what he was doing with Sang Hongyang.

"The minister is stupid, please make it clear to your majesty." Sang Hongyang has also been thinking about this question, but it seems that Emperor Wu of Han has understood Huo Guang's true intentions.

Emperor Wu of Han lifted the blanket on his lap and stood up tremblingly. His body is old, but his ambition is still the same as it was decades ago. "This move of the Marquis of Anyang made Hexi and the Western Regions completely out of the control of the imperial court. Even if I decree another governor now, going to Dunhuang is just a decoration......"

The separation of the three courts emptied the governor of the Western Regions, and at the same time, it completely got rid of the control of the imperial court.

"Could it be that the Marquis of Anyang wants to establish himself as a king?" Sang Hongyang was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but think of it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Sang Hongyang, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "I told the general back then, I have known countless people in my life, and I have never looked away, Huo Guang will not be a rebel, and I still think so." But not being a rebel doesn't mean he's a submissive person, he's telling me not to force him......"

Sang Hongyang was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't answer the words of Emperor Wu of Han, so he could only bow his head and be silent for a while.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Sang Hongyang were talking about Huo Guang in the Xuanshu Palace, in the Governor's Mansion of Dunhuang, Huo Guang and Huo Tang sat opposite each other, and a stove was also placed in front of them, and the snow in Dunhuang was earlier and heavier than that of Chang'an.

"With the arrival of winter, the offensive of Olobazo is not as good as before, and sometimes they only symbolically attack the city once in half a month. However, most of the Western Regions had been occupied by the Sabbatarians, and they had begun to administer them, providing them with food, supplies, and slaves. Olobazo seems to be preparing something, it seems that there will not be much fighting this winter, but when spring comes, the Sabbaters should be attacking in a big way. "Huo Tang is already in charge of the Privy Council, and she is well aware of the war on the front line.

"How many defenders are left in Wu'an City? How much conscription is there in the four counties of Hexi? Huo Guang held a glass of hot wine and sniffed the rising wine, but did not drink it.

"There are still 70,000 troops in Wu'an City, and since the second brother ordered the conscription, the four counties have recruited a total of 30,000, but they are all infantry. At present, these 30,000 foot soldiers are being trained by the Le Junjun Fu Lu Branch, and they are barely usable. Huo Tang continued to reply, although the battle in Wu'an City was not tense in a few months, it still lost tens of thousands of people. After all, the four counties of Hexi were insufficient, and they only barely gathered 30,000 foot soldiers in a short period of time.

"When necessary, let Bai Zheng retreat to two levels to hold it, plus 30,000 foot soldiers for a total of 100,000 troops, it is easy to block the rest of the army. Let the Sabbatarians be enslaved for the time being...... Such an outcome will actually be of great benefit to us in regaining the Western Regions in the future. Huo Guang put down the hot wine in his hand, stood up and walked to the window, there was goose feather snow outside the window, there was snow white between the sky and the earth, and nothing could be seen, and the vast area was as unpredictable as the future.

"Has he been feeling better these days?" Huo Guang stood by the window, his eyes falling on a nearby courtyard. It was guarded by many Mo disciples, and even the people of the Dadu Governor's Mansion could not enter and leave at will.

"After Princess Jiangdu came, his mood gradually stabilized." Huo Tang also got up and came to Huo Guang's side, and his eyes also fell on the heavily guarded courtyard.

"Let Sima Qian come to see me tomorrow." Huo Guang said suddenly.

"Little sister has something unclear, if the emperor summons the second brother back to Chang'an, or directly dismisses the governor of the capital, what will the second brother do?" Huo Tang looked at Huo Guang's side face and asked with a serious expression.

Huo Guang's body moved slightly, and he said with a smile in front of Huo Tang: "You don't know the emperor, he won't do this." ”

This winter is calm and busy, the whole Chang'an City is rare to calm down, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with an old body to take charge of the government, will fill some vacant positions again, the original because of the two witch cases and increasingly abandoned the government is normal again, the courtiers perform their duties and everything becomes stable and orderly again.

The Silk Road in the Western Regions was temporarily blocked because of the war in the Western Regions, but a few years ago in the southwest direction of the Han Dynasty, the Zhuo family of Shu County entered Yunnan through Qiong and Zhen, and then entered the body poison from the Dian Kingdom, and actually opened up another trade route.

When the ancient books of the Mo family, which had been treasured for hundreds of years, reappeared, Huo Guang even saw the roller skating system that had formed a complete system, and some extremely complex instruments that could already be called mechanical. Huo Guang realized that these things were the essence of a civilization, and during the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, not only was it culturally extremely prosperous, but in fact, science and technology also reached the first peak of Chinese civilization during that period. And the next great scientific and technological development of Chinese civilization will not appear again until the Song Dynasty a thousand years later.

Originally, these things that were lost or gradually disappeared because of the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty were once again valued by Huo Guang, and the land of Hexi was also in full swing, and the disciples of the Mo family had strict organization and discipline, they could become killers or soldiers due to changes in the environment, but most of them were actually the best craftsmen in nature.

While the entire Han Dynasty was still going through this cold and long winter, there were some places that were not calm at all. In the easternmost part of the Han Dynasty, the ambitious Wei Youqu is fighting fiercely. In the hinterland of the Xiongnu in the north, the ambitious Uwei Shan Yu finally persuaded his uncle that King Youxian led an army of 70,000 to join forces with Uwei, only to wait for the 200,000 Hun iron cavalry to go south again in spring. In the southwest of the Han Dynasty, the southwestern monarchs such as Marquis Qiongjun saw the attractive benefits of the Silk Tea Ancient Road, and they also began to detain the goods of Han merchant travelers, and even intercepted and killed caravans.

"Son, the north of Hunshui is our homeland, and it is more fertile than this North Korea." Wei Youqu appeared on the south bank of the river in civilian clothes with a small number of guards, and the north bank of the river was Liaodong County of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Chang, the eldest son of Wei Youqu, is also the crown prince of Joseon. The seventeen-year-old crown prince had the same ambitions as his father, and deep down in their hearts, north of the river was their homeland, and Korea was only a temporary shelter for them.

"Father, please let Erchen be the pioneer, and Erchen will be the first descendant of the Wei family to set foot on his homeland." Wei Chang said excitedly to his father Wei Youqu. He knew that his father had been planning this day for years, and he had finally grown from a child to a young man who could go into battle.

"No hurry...... When the water is about to melt, we will cross the river again, and we will have a fight against the water......," Wei Youqu said, looking at the water that had formed a thick layer of ice.

When the water thaws in spring, the Weiyou Canal after crossing the river can not easily cross the river and retreat to the water. He was ready to fight on his back, to make it or to die, and did not even think about returning to North Korea.

The snow in Weiyang Palace began to melt slowly, and after this harsh and long winter, Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have come out of the shadow of the Wei Prince incident. Even his old body seemed to have regained some vitality, and he took off his heavy winter coat and discarded the wooden staff in his hand, and he was able to walk independently again without support.

Feeling the recovery of his body, Emperor Wu of Han realized that he should have a few more years to go, and with these times, he could calmly arrange a successor. And with the recovery of all things, Chang'an City is also lively, the people are running for life, the courtiers are planning for power, and some people are running for the vacant position of the prince.

But all this was broken one night by a rush of bells at midnight in Weiyang Palace.

"Youzhou Assassin History Department urgently reported that the Korean Wang Wei Youqu personally led an army of 60,000 troops, and within three days he connected the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and now the troops have come to the right Beiping, and the right Beiping Tai Shou Mountain asked the imperial court to send troops to rescue quickly."

When the sleeping courtiers and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gathered in Weiyang Palace, a piece of news that was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky shook these people and completely disappeared......
