As soon as Huo Guang stepped out of the mansion, he found that the entire Xuanping was surrounded by water. The streets were crowded with war horses and armored soldiers, each with a sword and a bow, it could be seen at a glance that they were real proud soldiers, and they were crowded from Xuanping to Chang'an Avenue, and it was conservatively estimated that there were more than 2,000 people.

"What's going on?" Huo Guang hurriedly asked Zhen Youcai beside him, he obviously saw that these soldiers were not sergeants of the period gate and soldiers of Sanfu County, and it stands to reason that there should not be so many soldiers in Chang'an City at the same time. However, although these soldiers stood in a messy manner, they also tacitly gave way to the middle of the road in Xuanpingli to be a one-person-wide passage.

"Your Majesty, these people say that they are all the family members of the Marquis's Mansion, and this time they are here to follow the monarch to the south." Zhen Youcai also said a little confused.

"Cousin, these are our brothers or a few Hou Ye's mansions, we don't have anything to give our cousin on the expedition to South Vietnam, so we will send some slaves to my cousin to make a strong appearance" Just when Huo Guang was puzzled, the third brother of Wei walked out of the crowd and walked towards Huo Guang.

Huo Guang heard what Wei Yan said, and looked at the more than two thousand so-called slaves, and couldn't help but say silently in his heart: "Is this okay?" ”

Seeing that Huo Guang was stunned, Wei Yan continued: "Among these people, there are two hundred slaves from my father's mansion, three hundred from Pingyang Hou, two hundred from Nanhou, and two hundred slaves from Ruyin. From the Hou, Zhuanghou, Xialuhou, and Huiquhou, there were also one to two hundred people. ”

Huo Guang silently wrote down these names, in fact, these slaves were all Wei Huo's relatives, or some powerful factions attached to Wei Huo's relatives, such as Nanhou Gongsun He, who is now an official worship servant and is the right-hand man of the general Wei Qing. Huo Guang really didn't expect that these people would help him in such a way. Slaves are different from private soldiers, there is no limit on the number of slaves in the Great Han Law, and it is also legal for slaves to buy and sell gifts privately, and no one will delve into whether slaves can ride horses and wear armor.

For these so-called slaves, Huo Guang had no intention of refusing, and the expedition to South Vietnam he himself led was only 5,000 men and horses, and now more than 2,000 people out of thin air was a big help to him. Moreover, Huo Guang knew in his heart that his expedition to South Vietnam this time was also a very important event for Wei Huo's relatives. If Huo Guang is defeated, Wei Huo's relatives will lose an important person, and more importantly, the Huo family will completely die out from now on, and those forces that were once attached to Huo Quai's disease and now rely on Huo Guang will disappear, and the power of Wei Huo's relatives will be reduced by more than half. And if Huo Guang wins this time, then Wei Huo's relatives will have one more powerful big man in the world, and then Huo Guang will be able to truly replace Huo Quzhi's former position, which is immeasurable for Wei Huo's relatives. Therefore, in public and private, the huge forces of Wei Huo's relatives will spare no effort to support Huo Guangnan's expedition.

"Madam, after your husband leaves, you will go to these Hou Ye's mansions with gifts to thank you." Huo Guang hurriedly instructed Li Yan that now that he was in military affairs, these things could only be handed over to Li Yan to do.

More than 2,000 private soldiers, plus 5,000 soldiers who had been assembled outside the city. Huo Guang also had an army of nearly 8,000 people by his side, and it was rare that although these 8,000 people came from different sources, they were all real elite divisions with excellent physical fitness and well-equipped. Don't underestimate the 8,000 men, it may not be much, but even if you face the nearly 100,000 prisoner army on Lubode, the outcome is unknown.

On the official road to the south outside Chang'an City, the smoke and dust were billowing and the horses' hooves were roaring, and the shaking and roaring of the earth could be felt from a distance of several miles. Huo Guang also rode his horse in the center of the army, this kind of large-scale cavalry migration, in fact, only needed the cavalry at the front of the army to control the direction and horse speed, and the horses following behind would naturally move forward like a torrent.

Just two or three miles behind Huo Guang's cavalry army, an ordinary carriage and several knights also headed in the direction of the army. It's just that the speed of the carriage is limited after all, and as time goes by, it has gradually drifted away from the army.

On the carriage, Huo Tang held the curtain with one hand, stretched out his head and looked ahead, and at this moment he could only see the smoke and dust in the distance slowly falling.....

"Brother Eleven, how much later will we arrive at Yangshan Pass than Jun Shang?" Huo Tang raised his head and asked Huo Shiyi, who was walking with the carriage.

"Miss Tang, this carriage is not as good as the cavalry. I'm afraid it's going to be around 5 nights! Huo Shiyi replied after a little thought.

Huo Tang didn't immediately sit back in the carriage, but lowered his head and thought about something. After a while, Huo Tang suddenly raised his head again and said to Huo Shiyi: "Brother Eleven, can you teach me to ride a horse?" ”

"Miss Tang.... Why are you doing this? It's not difficult to ride a horse, but I'm afraid you can't afford it! If you have something to do, how can we explain it to you? Huo Shiyi said with some embarrassment. They were not afraid of this long-distance attack, and in their early years, they followed Huo Qubing deep into the desert, and they could run thousands of miles for a few days and nights.

"Brother Eleven, you just rely on me this time, I will explain to you if something happens." Huo Tang said with a firm face, without the slightest room for negotiation.

Huo Shiyi and Huo 12 glanced at each other, both of them nodded slightly, and then Huo Shiyi pulled the reins of the horse and shouted: "You immediately unload the carriage, you get off the horse and saddle, and give your horse to Miss Tang." ”

With an order, the private soldiers of Anyang Junfu took action, and as soon as they left Chang'an City, they abandoned the carriage, and a private soldier used the horse pulling the cart as a mount and gave his mount to Huo Tang. It's not that Huo Shiyi is good at talking, but everyone including Huo Shiyi knows that although this Miss Tang is not a close relative, the king trusts and loves her more than his own sister, and even many times her orders represent Huo Guang.

Just when the armies of the Han Dynasty were marching towards South Vietnam, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, Lu Jia, had already learned of the movements of the Han Dynasty. At this moment, a court meeting is being held in the palace of Nanyue to discuss countermeasures. Zhao Jiande, the new monarch of Nanyue, sat on the throne with his head bowed, as if he had wandered out of the world, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not pay attention to this monarch, but all their eyes fell on Lu Jia, the prime minister of the hundred officials.

"Prime Minister Qi, the Han State named Huo Guang as the general of Pingnan, and the troops attacked our South Vietnam in five ways, and the Chinese army led by Huo Guang will be able to reach Yangshan Pass in a few days." A South Vietnamese minister came out to play, but not to Zhao Jiande, the king of South Vietnam, but directly to Prime Minister Lu Jia.

"Huo Guang? Is that Huo Quai's younger brother? Liu Che actually sent such a stinky kid, it seems that in the eyes of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he doesn't think much of our Nanyue! Isn't that Han Qianqiu proud? Let's use his head to give this Pingnan general a generous gift. Lu Jia said with a smile. Huo Guang is also famous in Dahan, but the name Huo Guang is too unfamiliar to the Quartet Zhuyi, and Lu Jia actually knows that Huo Guang is Huo Quai's younger brother, which shows how much he pays attention to Dahan.

"The old man will do it himself." As soon as Lu Jia finished speaking, his younger brother, Lu Wuji, the general of South Vietnam, suddenly got up.

"Presumptuous, this is the court, is there a king in your eyes?" Suddenly, Lu Jia shouted loudly and reprimanded his younger brother. The court had long regarded Zhao Jiande as air, and the courtiers were also stunned for a while, and they didn't understand why the prime minister was suddenly so pretentious?

Lu Wuji was even more wrong, he didn't take Zhao Jiande, the king of Nanyue, in his eyes, but he was very afraid of his brother, and he stood in place for a while and didn't know what to do.

"King, since General Lu Wuji has the intention to kill the enemy, according to the old minister, you might as well let General Lu go into battle to destroy Han Qianqiu's department." Lu Jia turned around, bowed slightly to Zhao Jiande and said, there is nothing wrong with the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

"This.... The prime minister quickly invites him to get up, and everything can be done according to the prime minister's wishes. Zhao Jiande was originally in a trance, but he was suddenly frightened by Lu Jia and stood up, and hurriedly said according to Lu Jia's meaning.

When the Nanyue court was discussing how to deal with Huo Guang, Huo Guang's army had already arrived less than three hundred miles away from Yangshan Pass, and at this speed, it would take a day or two at most to reach Yangshan Pass. At this moment, Huo Guangzheng stopped the army and repaired briefly by a river, "Report ..... General, South Vietnam Good News ....." Suddenly a horse galloped from the front of the army with smoke and dust.

Hearing the word good news, Huo Guang was still a little surprised. Even at the fastest marching speed, the Han army was still in the territory, and it was impossible for the Han army to enter South Vietnam at this time, and this good news was impossible.

"Where's the good news? Bring it up and I'll take a look. Huo Guang said in a deep voice, and soon a cloth wrapped in a cowhide bag appeared in Huo Guang's hand.

Huo Guang looked at the so-called good news in his hand, frowning as he looked at it, and at the same time he read the content of the good news in a low voice: "The last general led two thousand light horses into the hinterland of South Vietnam for more than 200 miles.... Capture seven large and small walled cities.... More than 600 enemy heads were killed...... South Vietnamese soldiers and civilians fled in despair....."

"Just 2,000 people went deep for more than 200 miles and captured seven large and small walled cities? Is this South Vietnam really so vulnerable? No, this is more than 600 enemies, I'm afraid most of them are civilians......" Huo Guang looked at the so-called good news sent by Han Qianqiu, and soon discovered the strangeness. The South Vietnam depicted in Han Qianqiu's good news was completely vulnerable, and he felt that he could capture Panyu with his 2,000 light horsemen.

"Someone came, pass on my military order, and order Han Qianqiu to immediately retreat back to Yangshan Pass. Another order was issued to the Yangshan Pass guards, and the general would not be allowed to open the pass before the day, even if Han Qianqiu returned to Yangshan Pass, let him guard the pass first. Huo Guang hurriedly gave the order. He knew that Han Qianqiu was only afraid that he had fallen for South Vietnam's plan to lure the enemy deeper, and Huo Guang still felt faintly uneasy in his heart, I was afraid that the purpose of South Vietnam was not only the two thousand people under Han Qianqiu's department, but its real purpose was most likely the natural danger of Yangshan Pass. If he loses it before he reaches Yangshan Pass, it will have a huge negative impact on the momentum and strategy of the entire Han army.

"Order, stop repairing and set off immediately." Huo Guang couldn't care about the fatigue of the soldiers' long-distance attack, and ordered again.

Just when Huo Guang was hurrying and marching to Yangshan Pass, Han Qianqiu was galloping in the jungle of South Vietnam in high spirits at the moment, and in the past few days, he rode all the way and unexpectedly knocked down several walled cities, and these walled defenders fled as soon as they saw him, without even a decent resistance. Han Qianqiu had already received the news that Huo Guang was the general of Pingnan to lead all matters in South Vietnam, and he planned to go and capture another walled city and return to Yangshan Pass.

"General, the mountain roads here are rugged and the trees are dense, do you want to send someone to investigate first?" A junior colonel beside Han Qianqiu looked at the jungle that was getting quieter and quieter as he walked, and asked with some concern.

"Afraid of what? These South Vietnamese are nothing more than chickens and dogs, and they dare not ambush us. Han Qianqiu was at a time of complacency, and the victories in the past few days made him very confident and looked down on the South Vietnamese army more and more.

But God seemed to have played a huge joke with Han Qianqiu, and just as Han Qianqiu said this sentence complacently, a whistling sound sounded in his ears, and then he only felt that his head was buzzing, and the sound of arrows whistling beside him was endless. Then Han Qianqiu only felt that his eyes began to change, and he couldn't see anything clearly, only heard the sound of shouting and killing, and it seemed that there were people next to him who were anxiously shouting, 'General... The general's voice, and then his eyes went black and he didn't know anything....
