Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, which has been changed to a half-monthly court meeting, was finally held. Today, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seems to have come later than in the past, but at the beginning of today's court meeting, a good news from Huo Guang, the general of Pingnan, made the eyes of the court converge on Nanyue.

The content of the good news is very long, but it is generally divided into three parts. One of them is Lu Jia, the prime minister of the South Vietnamese rebellion, and Zhao Jiande, the puppet king of South Vietnam, who was ambushed, and the land of South Vietnam has been completely returned to the Han Dynasty. At the same time, General Binh Nam had already migrated nearly 30,000 people from the original Nanyue Hao clan to the north, and asked the court to arrange for the reception.

The second thing is that General Pingnan wrote a letter requesting the establishment of nine counties in the southeast, namely Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Zhuya, and Dan'er, each of which has several counties under its jurisdiction, canceling the name of Nanyue and completely cutting off Nanyue from the legal point of view.

As for the third thing, Huo Guang informed the imperial court and the emperor that more than 60,000 soldiers from Nanyue and Cangwu had been dispatched, and the troops were divided into two routes, and more than 40,000 people went to Dongyue and joined Yang Fu to attack Dongyue. On the other hand, about 20,000 people, led by Tian Jia, went to the southwest to join the He Relic Department to attack the country of Helan.

"What a trick to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf! It turned out that General Pingnan's intention was to attack Dongyue and Jilan with the South Vietnamese soldiers. I'm afraid that in a few months, my Han will have several more counties. The courtiers whispered.

"Huo Guang is going to destroy several countries and open up thousands of miles of territory, so I don't know how Your Majesty will reward you for such a great achievement?" The courtiers had a lot of discussions, some envious and some admired, and more concerned about how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would reward Huo Guang.

"Let's not mention the reward for the time being, the south has not been decided, and General Pingnan will not return to the court for the time being. Now, let's talk about where to resettle the wealthy people of South Vietnam who have migrated north? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suppressed the discussion of the court.

"The minister thinks that it can be placed in Hedong County, Hedong County is the hometown of General Pingnan, and the remnants of the Nanyue Hao clan can be moved here, which can deter their disobedience!" An imperial historian came out to say that placing the remnants of the Hao clan who moved north from South Vietnam to Huo Guang's hometown of Hedong County also sounds reasonable.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you choose Hedong County, it is better to choose Hanoi County. The previous rebellion in Hanoi County was also quelled by General Binh Nam, and now the population of Hanoi County is withering due to the war, and moving these South Vietnamese to Hanoi County can not only enrich the population, but also the officials of Hanoi County who have been in turmoil with General Binh Nam, and these South Vietnamese people will be more concerned than other counties. An official from the Prime Minister's Office also came out and said.

"No, it's still a good ...... Hedong County" Another official from the Yushitai stood up, and then talked a lot, which seemed to sound reasonable.

"Hadong County is more suitable than Hanoi County........" The Prime Minister's Office immediately retorted.

"It's better to be in Hedong!"

"Hedong is definitely not as good as Hanoi!"

However, for a moment, the whole court was in chaos as always, and the officials of the Imperial Observatory and the Prime Minister's Mansion once again competed against each other over how to settle the South Vietnamese. The neutral officials began to lower their heads and close their eyes to recuperate, and the palms of Emperor Wu of Han, hidden under his big sleeves, couldn't help but clench into fists.

"Enough, half to Ha Dong and half to Hanoi. Are you satisfied? Retreat from the court......" After a long time, Emperor Wu of Han suddenly got up, and then said with some anger, before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and walked towards the apse.

Huo Guang's requests were naturally all approved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but when he got Chang'an's reply, it was already half a month after he set foot on Hainan Island. Since he came to Hainan Island to kill Lu Jia and Zhao Jiande, Huo Guang has lived here. Although it is early winter, the climate of Hainan Island is still pleasant, Huo Guang is lying on the beach, holding a half-cut coconut in his hand, telling Huo Tang interesting stories about the world.

Just when Huo Guang and Huo Tang were talking and laughing, a personal soldier hurriedly ran towards the two, but he ran directly to Huo Tang and handed Huo Tang a letter. Because of Huo Guang's improvement of papermaking, paper writing has become very popular.

Huo Tang unfolded the letterhead and swept it up in ten lines. Before he had completely finished reading the letterhead, Huo Tang began to say to Huo Guang: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has agreed to set up nine counties in the southeast, except for the captains of each county appointed by the imperial court, the following officials are all appointed and dismissed by the king. It seems that the nine southeastern counties will be the first to be the king in the future! Do you think we should recommend a few of our own people to master a few big counties? ”

The county guard is a feudal official, with Huo Guang's current prestige and achievements, if you recommend anyone to be the county guard of the nine southeastern counties, presumably Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will pass through ten out of ten, so Huo Tang will have this question, if it is usually a county guard, it is enough for the two factions to compete.

"There's no need, if you interfere in the selection of the county guard, it will be a bit of an inch, and it will give Your Majesty a bad feeling. Our foundation is not here, and it is useless to ask for more! Huo Guang directly rejected this proposal.

"There is one more thing, Your Majesty divided the South Vietnamese nobles who moved north into two parts, and one part was placed in Ha Dong County, not far from Binh Duong. The other was scattered in Hanoi district. In addition, our own sources say that for the matter of resettlement, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historical Observatory were in contention, and in the end, His Majesty chose this plan. I heard that now I will send the Imperial Doctor and the Prime Minister to end up in person! Huo Tang continued, she now probably understood what Huo Guang was referring to when he said that he was not returning to Chang'an.

"What is Du Zhou's attitude?" After a while, Huo Guang suddenly asked.

"I don't know yet, but he is the middle of the imperial history, and at this time, I am afraid that he can only stand on the side of the imperial history!" Huo Tang thought for a moment and replied.

"Send a word to Du Changshi, just say that if he wants his father to keep his official position, he can stay out of the matter, but if he can't do it, he has to talk about it." Huo Guang thought for a while and said. Du Changshi is Du Yannian, because of Du Yannian's relationship, he feels that if he can help Du Zhou, he will help him.

"Okay, I'll send a message to Du Changshi later. Does the gentleman think that the Imperial Doctor will lose? Huo Tang nodded in response, and asked curiously.

Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the de jure Han Dynasty's supreme military commander Taiwei a few years ago, and then set up a non-long Da Sima to replace Taiwei, but this position is only an additional official, and currently only Wei Qing is led by one person, and Wei Qing also has the position of a general, and his status is still above the three dukes. Therefore, in fact, only the prime minister and the imperial envoy doctor are the highest in the outer dynasties of the Han Dynasty, and even Huo Tang is very concerned about the outcome of this power struggle between the most powerful imperial envoy and the prime minister in the history of the Han Dynasty.

"Where did you win or lose, the party between the DPRK and China, the only one who wins is Your Majesty!" Huo Guang sighed, in his opinion, neither Zhang Tang nor Zhuang Qingzhai had a real winner.

"If that's the case? Will it be ....... when you return to the court? Huo Tang was a little surprised, and then asked with some excitement.

Huo Guang glared angrily, and pretended to be displeased and said, "Silly girl, what do you want?" ”

"I'm not thinking about the king yet, now is such a good opportunity, the king is returning to the dynasty with a big victory, and it will not be long before Dongyue and Helan will also destroy the country, with the merit of the king destroying several countries, you can't go back to be Jing Zhaoyin, right?" Huo Tang pouted and said, looking a little aggrieved.

Seeing Huo Tang like this, Huo Guang felt angry and funny, but in the end, he said kindly: "The general is still here, I either leave Chang'an, otherwise Jing Zhaoyin is His Majesty's greatest limit!" ”

"Your Majesty is worried that the power of your relatives is too great?" Huo Tang understood a lot in an instant, and at this moment she also understood that the reward for Huo Guang must have given Emperor Wu of Han a special headache.

"That's not what you should be concerned about. What is the current situation with He Yi and Yang Fu? How many South Vietnamese soldiers are left? Huo Guang said lightly, leading the topic to the battlefield between Dongyue and Jilan.

Huo Tang took out a note from his arms, and then said to Huo Guang: "Dongyue has captured most of its territory under the attack of Yang Fu and Zhu Maichen from the north and south, and now Yu Shan's soldiers and horses have been compressed back to the periphery of the royal capital for tight defense, according to General Yang Fu's estimate, at most more than a month can completely sweep away Dongyue." In the East Vietnam battlefield, more than half of the South Vietnamese soldiers have been lost, and now there are less than 20,000. And the progress of the Lan side is a little slower, because the mountains are dense and the roads are narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Lan army does not fight with our army head-on, most of them hide in the forest to sneak attack, at present, General He Yi can only attack some of the walls, and then use the walled city as a base to sweep the periphery, and Lan's 20,000 South Vietnamese soldiers died not much, and the loss was only five or six thousand. ”

"The loss of 60,000 soldiers is almost half, and it can be ordered to slow down the attack. In addition, the meritorious deeds of the brave in battle, especially emphasized that whether it is the Han army or the South Vietnamese soldiers, they are treated equally, the reward of the reward, the promotion of the promotion, as long as the military merits of the South Vietnamese soldiers are enough, even if it is the general, His Majesty will play for him to ask for the title. This is a military order, and it must be conveyed to everyone. Huo Guang is colored. Seeing that the South Vietnamese soldiers were almost dead, Huo Guang's plan to kill two birds with one stone was almost completed, in order to prevent the backfire, at this time, the remaining South Vietnamese soldiers also began a soft policy.

"Does the gentleman want to follow the old method of Hanoi? Drag the situation to Chang'an to divide the winner? Huo Tang looked at Huo Guang meaningfully, and then said as he was.

"What old Hanoi way?" Huo Guang asked with a puzzled expression, and for a while he didn't react to what Huo Tang meant.

Huo Tang looked at Huo Guang with some pride, and then said in a low voice: "I have worked hard to learn the way of life of the monarch over the years. ”

"Oh? You've got a heart! Let's do it again this time......." Huo Guang looked at Huo Tang with some surprise, if Huo Guang used to look at her with appreciation, but now it has become a serious face, Huo Tang's growth made him unexpected.
