Horseshoe galloping,. Su Wu and the only remaining 20 or so followers have been galloping wildly for a day and a night, and every time the horses can't hold on, they only rest for a while, and then rest in peace, and the pursuers quickly approach.

At first, Su Wu didn't know why the rest army would hunt them down, and finally escaped from a kingdom under the rest, Su Wu thought it should be safe, who knew that all the rest kingdoms seemed to want to put them to death, and there was no room for even a little turnaround, at this time Su Wu probably already knew, I am afraid that there was a war between the rest and the Han.

"Su Sicheng..... In front of it is Guishan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom, and the King of Dawan once killed the envoy of the Dadu Governor, do we want to go over? One of the attendants asked Su Wu while galloping.

The arrow on Su Wu's back has not been pulled out, the continuous bump makes the wound bigger and bigger, and the blood has stained his back, Su Wu is extremely weak at this moment, but the ** in his eyes still keeps him awake.

"You have to resupply and repair, and running like this is a dead end. Let's go to Guishan......" Su Wu made a reluctant decision, Guishan may be a tiger's den in Longtan, but after all, there is a glimmer of life, but there is only a dead end to escape so desperately.

With Su Wu's decision, this group of people turned their horses away and headed in the direction of Guishan City.

Su Wu and the others were already sleepy, so their speed naturally slowed down, but the resting pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer.

"Si Cheng, take a look...... An army appeared in front of him..... "Seeing that the rest cavalry was about to catch up with himself and the others, and even after a while, his own people would enter the range of the rest cavalry, at this moment, a retinue beside Su Wu suddenly shouted in horror.

"Hmm..... It is the banner of the Hexi Army .... There is also the banner of the Grand Governor..... Hold on, everyone, the Metropolitan Governor has come to our rescue! Su Wu saw that the army banner that suddenly appeared in the distance turned out to be the banner of the Hexi Army and Huo Guang, and at this moment, his originally weak body suddenly had some more strength.

Su Wu and the others saw the appearance of the Hexi Army, and the chasing soldiers naturally saw it. At this moment, thousands of cavalry of the Hexi Army formed a military formation, standing on the horizon like a giant beast waiting for an opportunity, resting the pursuers subconsciously slowed down, and the formation that was originally scattered because of the rapid pursuit also began to rearrange the formation in the march.

"I am under the command of the Metropolitan Governor, Wu Anjun Bai Zheng, and I am here to wait for Su Sicheng's return!" Seeing Su Wu and the others appear, Bai Zheng stood in the middle of the military formation and shouted loudly.

When Su Wu and the others approached Guishan City for hundreds of miles, they had already been discovered by Huo Guang's scouts. At this moment, Su Wu heard that it was the army under the command of the Governor of Dadu, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that he had finally picked up a life in his life, and after his heart relaxed, he passed out without anger.

"The left and right flanks are outflanking, and the whole army will attack and defeat these resting pursuers!" Bai Zheng drew his sword, pointed forward and ordered. He also saw that this thousand-person resting cavalry could still form an array during the march, although it was not an ironclad cavalry, it should also be a very elite unit in the resting army, but the other party only had a thousand people, and he had five thousand people, since he had met Bai Zheng, he did not plan to let go of these resting cavalry.

When Su Wu woke up again, he found that he was already lying on the bed, the arrows behind his back had been pulled out, and the wound was bandaged, but the severe pain and fatigue on his body made the experience of these days still vivid.

When Su Wu opened his eyes, someone had already informed Huo Guang, but in a moment, Huo Guang, Dongfang Shuo, and Sima Qian appeared in front of Su Wu's bed.

"Big... The Metropolitan Governor ....." Su Wu moved slightly, and found that he couldn't control it at all, and he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after saying a few words with difficulty, he lost his strength.

"It's good to wake up, rest first, and talk about it when the injury is healed. I know what you're worried about, Rest has already broken through the Otsuki Clan, and we already know the news! "Huo Guang knew what Su Wu wanted to say, when Su Wu was in a coma, Huo Guang had already learned the news of the main army of rest from the mouths of his entourage, and now Huo Guang has been arranged in Guishan City, he wants to use this Dawan country as the forefront of the fight against the main army of rest.

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Su Wu felt a lot more relieved. He brought back too much news about the rest along the way, and a large part of the reason why the rest cavalry were in hot pursuit. Now that he heard Huo Guang say that it was already arranged, he slowly closed his eyes again.

"Let's go out first." Huo Guang saw Su Wu's appearance and said to a few people beside him, Su Wu needs to recuperate at this time, and he is not suitable to say anything here.

Guishan City is built by the mountain, there is a spring water in the mountain all the year round, the whole city has only three city walls, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack the fortress, if it is not for the rebellion of Fu Cai, Huo Guang can not easily take Guishan City, this is a natural fortress, it is suitable for defense.

At this moment, tens of thousands of troops outside Guishan City are busy, and the range of hundreds of zhang outside Guishan City has been dug out of the criss-crossing ravines that are more than one person deep, and these ravines cross each other one after another, except for the infantry who can climb over with difficulty, the cavalry is completely impassable. Then the materials of the original Dawan Kingdom of Guishan City, as well as the materials and equipment of the Han army, were continuously transported to the outer city wall, and a crossbow was erected to the outer city wall.

"Tell me about it." Huo Guang has returned to the Dawan Palace, and now this place has become his Grand Governor's Mansion. In the palace, all the officers above the rank of lieutenant came, and the former Dawan Zuo Xiang Cai was also impressively listed.

King Dawan is dead, and his head has been sent to Chang'an. Now Huo Guang doesn't plan to set up a new Dawan king, but just let Wu Cai continue to lead the Dawan Department as the left minister, and naturally there is no Dawan country in the future, just like the remnants of the Xiongnu in Juyan, it is just a 'department' under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Governor's Office.

"From what is known, the commander of the expedition was their prime minister, Olobazo, who commanded the soldiers and horses of the five kingdoms of Cordone, Adityapona, Charasseni, Elimais, and Posis, as well as some tribal nobles in the eastern region of Dorbition. In total, there were about 15,000 ironclad cavalry, 60,000 light cavalry, and no less than 100,000 servant infantry..... They have completely defeated the Great Moon Clan, and now the remnants of the Great Moon Clan have fled south to the Great Xia area. The main army of the rest is estimated to be able to reach Guishan City in two days. ”

Dongfang Shuo had already gathered the information, and most of the news was obtained by Su Wu's team when they passed through Anxi, and later in the area where they were fighting with the Dayue Clan. Among them is the composition of their legions, as well as brief information about the main characters.

"So much? 180,000 troops...... And that's just the rest of the armies of the Eastern Kingdoms. Although Huo Guang had already prepared in his heart, there would be no shortage of troops coming to rest this time, but when he heard that the army of the Eastern Expedition had reached 180,000 people, he couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart.

"How's the fortifications outside the city going? How many of us are there now? Huo Guang looked at Bai Zheng again and asked.

Bai Zheng bowed and replied: "It has been completed according to the orders of the Grand Governor, as long as our army does not cross the ravine, their cavalry will not be able to get close to the outer city." At present, our army plus the army of Dawan has a total of nearly 70,000 people. ”

"Metropolitan Governor, do you want to mobilize the main force of Hexi to come to Guishan?" Li Ling asked, when he heard that there was an army of 180,000 people in peace, everyone felt unprecedented pressure.

"Don't use it for the time being, fifteen thousand ironclad cavalry may not be able to defeat our family head-on, at present, we will hold the city first, and in another year or so, which of our Western friends Sula should also send troops?" Huo Guang waved his hand and rejected the proposal to transfer the main army of Hexi to the front of the Western Front.

Huo Guang knew very well in his heart that this war with rest was different from any previous war, it was a war between empires and empires, a collision between civilizations. Even the duration of the war, and the amount of manpower and material resources invested, far exceeded the war between the Han and the Xiongnu. Such a war will never end in a short period of time, let alone the winner or loser will be determined by one or two major battles between the main forces of the two sides.

"Convey the situation here to Chang'an in detail, and let the emperor know the situation here." Huo Guang commanded at Dongfang Shuo. Although the entire Western Regions and Hexi are Huo Guang's forces, and he was the first to face the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but Huo Guang is still a courtier of the Han Dynasty after all, whether it is Hexi or the Western Domain, it is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and in this kind of civilization war, it is definitely not enough to rely on one side of the princes.

Just when Huo Guang and the generals were discussing countermeasures to deal with the Eastern Expeditionary Army, a similar scene was also being staged in the royal court of the former Otsuki clan. The royal court of the Otsutsuki clan is now completely occupied by the Sabbatarians, a pure nomadic people who have no fixed city, only a royal court that symbolizes their rule. And now that the people of the Great Moon Clan in this land have all been defeated, the remaining remnants have fled south.

Speaking of which, the Otsutsuki clan is also unlucky enough, and has been living a path of forced exile for hundreds of years. This powerful ethnic group that once ruled the Hexi Corridor during the Warring States Period was later defeated by the Huns, and then forced to migrate to the Western Regions in the area of present-day Wusun, they first defeated Wusun, but then were defeated by Hunt Jiaomi, after this defeat, the Dayue clan migrated again, to the current location. And this time the Rest Empire went east, and the Great Moon Clan became the defeated generals of the Rest Empire again, this time they had to flow south, to a place called Great Xia next to the poison.

"Your Excellency, the army pursuing the Han Chinese has been wiped out, and only a few horsemen have escaped. Guishan City, the capital of the Dawan king, has been broken by Hou Huoguang of Anyang. "In the big tent of the royal court of the Otsuki clan, a knight of rest is reporting the latest situation to Olobazo.

"So that the person named Hou Huoguang of Anyang has already arrived in Guishan City? How many soldiers and horses did he bring? Olobazo asked, playing with the golden scepter of the Otsuki clan in his hand, as if he was also curious about Huo Guang.

"From where our guide learned, the flag on Guishan City has indeed been replaced by Hou Huoguang of Anyang, with their civilized habits, this means that he came to Guishan in person. In addition, it was learned from some Dawan people who escaped from Guishan City that Huoguang, Marquis of Anyang, only brought 10,000 of the most elite cavalry, and the rest of the army was an army led by another nobleman under him, an army named Wu'an Jun Bai Zheng, which was composed of many tribal alliances, about 40,000. In addition, there were more than 20,000 troops who had surrendered. ”

Although there are many states, it is also a powerful empire after all, and naturally it also has their intelligence system. When Huo Guang was understanding the empire of rest a little bit, his opponents were also understanding him a little bit.

Because of cultural differences, in the eyes of the rest people, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the king of all kings of this empire called Han, and then those kings surnamed Liu and the monarchs of the kingdom like Huo Guang. In the eyes of the resting people, Huo Guang was a powerful monarch of the Han Empire, and the nine monarchs of the Western Regions were like resting those powerful nobles with large territories.

"Is the battle with the Otsutsuki clan over?" Olobazo continued, this time to a civilian who stood beside him with his hands down.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it's all over, and the remnants of the Great Moon Clan have been driven to the Great Xia area. This is already the territory of the Empire! Olobazo's secretary replied respectfully.

Olobazo nodded, and then gently slammed the Otsuki Clan's golden scepter to the ground. He slowly stood up and said to the five great monarchs and the other ten or so nobles in the tent: "Then congratulations, your Excellency, everything here will be yours in the future." Later, I will divide the spoils of your conquest of the Otsuki Clan according to the battle statistics. Next, let's go and meet this Eastern Commander named Hou Huoguang of Anyang! ”

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I am ready to serve you!" A neat and respectful voice sounded in the tent.

The moment Olobazo got up, both the great nobles in the tent and the five kings with extremely noble status also stood up together. When they heard Olobazo's words, their faces showed greed and excitement, but they were all extremely respectful to the Prime Minister of the Empire, including the five monarchs.

Huo Guang had a little doubt after learning about the government system of rest, and he had always been curious. That's what makes an empire like this, so that they can stop fighting internally, and how they can show such unity in foreign wars. With only one nominal king of kings, Huo Guang did not believe that these countries with different beliefs would be so united. Even if they are unanimous with the outside world, then in terms of the distribution of benefits and the amount of contribution, these countries with different beliefs will definitely have each other's problems, but none of the situations that should have happened have happened at present.

Just like this battle of conquest of the Otsuki clan, the coalition of the five monarchies and more than a dozen great nobles, under the unified command, the perfect cooperation of all arms, and even the division of interests after the war did not have a single opinion, these people seemed to be waiting for Prime Minister Olobazo to divide the spoils, and as long as it was divided by the prime minister, there was absolutely no problem.

No one will be jealous of who gets more, and no one will feel that they are not getting what they deserve.

Olobazo is in his forties, which is not his youngest and most energetic age, but it is his most glorious years. Both the mind and the wisdom of Olobazo have reached the pinnacle of life. With his charisma and outstanding personal ability, he is leading his civilization to conquer the world and collide with other civilizations.

"Your Excellency, the villain has a matter that is unknown. If we can't defeat this Hou Huoguang of Anyang for a long time, and when Sulla advances eastward again, will the western front of the empire be able to hold on? We already know that Hou Huoguang of Anyang has formed an alliance with Sula, and when the time comes, we will face pressure from the east and west! During the march, Olobazo's secretary finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked Olobazo about it.

The Prime Minister of the Empire has the grace of an aristocracy, and he has already won the respect of the entire Rest Empire with his charisma, and in the face of the secretary's inquiry, Olobazo did not show the slightest displeasure, but patiently explained like an elder: "The world is big..... There are many wise and capable people...... Our enemy Sula was able to form an alliance with Hou Huoguang of Anyang in the east, and we naturally found good allies...... Mithridates VI of Pontus was already in power, and he was a very capable monarch, but of course his ambitions were even greater...... He will be our best ally against Sula. Sulla will not have a chance to go east...... And..... There are also many powerful enemies around this Eastern Empire...... My secretary, it won't be long before you find out that this will be a feast for civilization...... An unprecedented and brilliant era! ”

Olobazo said elegantly and confidently, his eyes seemed to be burning with a raging flame, full of anticipation and excitement!

The kingdom of Pontus in the mouth of Olobazo was a kingdom in the northern part of the Roman province of Asia Minor, and their current king, Mithridates VI, was named only one word apart from Mithridatis, the king of kings who rested. And this name is very similar to the king of kings, himself is also a great monarch, he succeeded to the throne, at the beginning of the persecution of the regent, Mithridates VI had no choice but to hide in the mountains and forests, he spent five years to develop his own power, and finally regained his rights in a dignified manner, and then expanded to the outside world, and now Pontus has gradually become the most powerful country in the north of Rome.

Unbeknownst to Huo Guang, the ally Sulla he had reached out to with a lot of manpower and time, would soon be caught up in a major war with the capital kingdom, and would not be able to fulfill the agreed plan to expand eastward. And all this is only the result of the casual work of Olobazo, the first wise man of peace, the prime minister of the Empire, who is using his wisdom to involve all the civilizations of this world in the war, and no country can stay out of it......

Either it will become the final civilization to stand on top of the world, or it will be reduced to dust in the collision of civilizations and become a piece of history.......
