Chapter 127: First Entry into Hanoi

Huo Guang talked with Huo Qubing in the Champion Hou Mansion until late at night before returning to his mansion, and as soon as he returned to Anyang Jun's Mansion, Huo Guang found that Li Yan had not fallen asleep either, and the entire mansion was busy. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" (Pingnan Romance)

"Madam, you are pregnant, why don't you sleep so late?" Huo Guang asked with concern, and Li Yan was still preparing clothes and armor for Huo Guang, as well as some precious medicinal materials, which had already been packed and packed into a few large boxes.

"My husband is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, these things are essential, as a wife, these should be done by me, and this night will not be in the way." Li Yan said with a smile, and without stopping in her hand, she put a cloak sewn with good fur into the box, and gently pressed it with her hand.

"You don't have to bring this, do you? There's no need to prepare so many brocade robes, right? Huo Guang was sweet in his heart, but he asked puzzledly. Li Yan prepared no less than ten sets of clothes for him, some of which were extremely formal brocade robes, and it stands to reason that there was no chance to wear these clothes in this peaceful war.

"I heard that Hanoi is colder than Chang'an, and now it is snowing heavily, and this cloak is just right to keep out the cold. And this quelling of chaos can't be completed in a day or two, this box is the husband's spring clothes. Now the husband is Anyang Jun, and his status is very different from the past, this dress should not be too casual, these brocade robes want to come to the husband and the gentleman can also be useful. Li Yan pointed to the clothes in the box and said one by one, not to mention that Li Yan was indeed very well prepared. Even he had already considered that Huo Guang would definitely not be able to leave Hanoi immediately after the rebellion, it was likely to be spring at that time, and preparing some very grand brocade robes was for Huo Guang to wear on some very formal occasions.

"Madame is really thoughtful, with Madame by her side, I have a lot of peace of mind!" Huo Guang said with a smile, he didn't want to be sentimental at this time.

"It's a pity that I can't serve by my husband's side, so my husband has to take care of himself!" Li Yan inevitably felt a little sad in her heart, and when she thought that she would not be able to see Huo Guang for a few months, she was inevitably sad in her heart.

"Your Majesty, how many guards do you need to bring this time? I'm going to arrange it! Just when Li Yan took a group of maids to pack up Huo Guang's entourage, Zhen Youcai also came over and asked.

"This time it's to quell the chaos in the imperial court, so you don't have to go to the guards in your own house. You don't have to go if you have money, take care of everything in Chang'an for me. Huo Guang opened his mouth and said, even Zhen Youcai didn't plan to take it to Hanoi.

"How does this work?" Li Yan and Zhen Youcai said in unison. Both of them were a little surprised by Huo Guang's arrangement, and at the same time felt that it was inappropriate.

"I have my own plans for this, you don't need to say more." Huo Guang waved his hand and said, this time Huo Guang wants to bring to Hanoi, in addition to the 1,000 men army sent to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, only Dongfang Shuo, . After he left, the Chang'an County Ya was temporarily presided over by Zhang Ji, the county magistrate. As for Zhen Youcai, Huo Guang didn't bring it, because he felt that Chang'an should still keep someone he could trust after all.

Huo Guang didn't sleep much this night, and at dawn he took the old seven and eight and a few carriages to the county office, and when Huo Guang brought it, Dongfang Shuo and the three of them were already waiting for Huo Guang. This time they went to Hanoi to quell the rebellion was not a fanfare in the past, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who left Chang'an early this morning, would not come to see them off, nor did he send any important ministers from the court. As soon as the city gate opened, Huo Guang and the others went directly to the Qimen military camp to transfer troops to Hanoi.

And yesterday, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also told Huo Guang that in addition to passing through the counties along the way, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an edict to prepare grain and grass for Huo Guang and his party, and when they arrived in Hanoi, they had to find a way to find their own grain and grass. However, fortunately, Hanoi is not completely occupied by thieves, at least Junzhihuai County is a big city, and the grain and grass stored in it should be enough for thousands of men and horses for several months.

"Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak?" Just when Huo Guang met Dongfang Shuo and others, Zhang Ji, the county magistrate, also came to the county office early at this time, it stands to reason that he didn't have to come to the county office so early, it seems that he has some intention to come to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang nodded, walked into the county office with Zhang Ji, and stood under the eaves at the entrance of the county government and spoke.

"During this time when Benjun went to Hanoi, the county government asked Zhang Xiancheng." Huo Guang didn't ask Zhang Ji what was wrong, but as his boss, he told Zhang Ji first. Although Zhang Ji is not Huo Guang's loyal henchman, he has been under Huo Guang for the past six months, and he has done his best.

"Please rest assured, your subordinates should share your worries for your superiors, and when you come to see your superiors today, your subordinates actually have another thing." Zhang Ji knew that time was pressing, so he didn't say much nonsense, and directly said his intentions. Huo Guang also estimated that Zhang Ji came to see him at this time, and there must be something important to meet him alone.

"What's the matter?" Huo Guang asked.

"My subordinate used to be the magistrate of Hanoi County, and there are some things here that may be useful for your lordship to go to Hanoi." Zhang Ji was indeed the magistrate of Yi County, but Yi County is a small county, and he can't even be called a magistrate, but only a county magistrate. I saw that when Zhang Ji spoke, he had already taken out a cloth from his arms, Huo Guang's eyes fell on the cloth, and he found that there were blood stains on this cloth.

"What is this?" Huo Guang was also curious, so he asked.

This is a document filed by Zhou Fuchun, a wealthy household in Yi County, against Wen Shu, the king of Hanoi County, for forcibly occupying private land and killing people. At that time, his subordinates happened to be the magistrate of Yi County, and Zhou Fuchun was desperate to hand over this cloth to me. Originally, I wanted to submit this evidence to the Imperial History Mansion, but Wang Wenshu knew about it first, and actually took the little girl away, and later his subordinates also relied on the efforts of relatives and friends to transfer me to Chang'an County to avoid trouble. I've always been worried about the little girl's comfort, and this piece of cloth has never dared to show it. Zhang Ji said with some excitement, from the first time he knew that Zhang Ji was the magistrate of Chang'an County, Huo Guang felt that he had a story, and now Zhang Ji finally told the matter.

"It turns out that you came to Chang'an to avoid Wang Wenshu, but your relatives and friends are quite capable, and they actually transferred you to Chang'an to avoid trouble. Do you want me to go to Hanoi to rescue your daughter? Huo Guang noticed some information in Zhang Ji's words, from a 300-stone county magistrate to a 400-stone Chang'an county magistrate, the forces behind this Zhang Ji are also quite capable. Of course, this ability must also be limited, otherwise Wang Wenshu will be directly brought down.

"As long as the king can rescue the little girl, his subordinates will be loyal to the king in this life." Zhang Ji suddenly knelt down, raised the bloody cloth in his hand above his head and said.

"Well, you are a subordinate of this king, and I am obligated to do this. What's your daughter's name? Huo Guang didn't think much about it and took over the cloth in Zhang Ji's hand, with this Wang Wenshu's guilt, when he arrived in Hanoi, Huo Guang could justifiably take Wang Wenshu first, as for the woman who saved Zhang Ji, it was just a gesture for Huo Guang.

"Thank you, your lord, the little girl's name is Zhang Qiaoshui." Zhang Ji hurriedly said, Wang Wenshu grabbed his daughter and made him dare not act rashly, and now Huo Guang is going to Hanoi, and finally gives Zhang Ji a chance to save his daughter.

What happened to Zhang Ji is a bit bloody to say, but for Huo Guang, this matter is a trivial matter. Life is like this, born in different backgrounds, and the things you face in your life are completely different. Some people live their whole lives in fear, while others are born with a smooth sail.

Soon Huo Guang and his entourage left Chang'an, and when they arrived at the Qimen military camp in Shanglinyuan, Huo Guang found that the military camp was already lined up, and thousands of people were ready to go. Huo Guang estimated that Emperor Wu of Han had already issued an order for these people to prepare yesterday.

Huo Guang soon completed the handover with Zhang Mu, the servant of the period, and left with a thousand cavalry. And this time, the commander of the 1,000th Gate Army turned out to be Sima Zhuwu, who had cooperated with Huo Guang last time, and Huo Guang estimated that this was specially arranged by Wei Qing.

From Chang'an to Hanoi, it is not far compared to the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, but this journey takes about four days to speed all the way. Huo Guang's team is not like Wang Wenshu who can change horses halfway through the relay report, they are all one person and one horse, and they must take a break every once in a while, not only can people not hold on for a long time, but even horses also need to rest.

The counties along the way got the news in advance, and they all prepared a lot of supplies in the place where Huo Guang's team passed, and in this way, Huo Guang finally led the team to enter the boundary of Hanoi County four days after leaving Chang'an.

Huo Guang's route into Hanoi this time was not to go north from Luoyang to Hanoi, but to take Henan County from Luoyang to Ao Cang, and then go north into Hanoi County, and directly to Zhihuai County. The reason why Huo Guang went from Aocang to Huai County was that he could avoid the places occupied by thieves such as Yewang in Yixian County, and secondly, he could pay attention to whether there were any thieves near Aocang. Although Ao Cang is heavily guarded, he still has to defend himself.

Huai County is the county of Hanoi, with a population of 60,000 or 70,000, and there are more than 10,000 people in the county of Guangxian County. However, when Huo Guang came to Huaixian County, he saw a withered scene, coupled with the heavy snow in Hanoi now, which made the huge Huaixian County feel very depressed.

Huo Guang came to the city gate with thousands of cavalry, and now it is afternoon, it stands to reason that a city like Huaixian should be open, but now the city gate is closed, and a group of soldiers on the city tower looked at Huo Guang's thousands of cavalry in a panic.

"An Yangjun came to Hanoi on the order of His Majesty, why don't you open the city gate quickly to greet you?" Before Huo Guang could speak, Li Ling beside him sat on his horse and shouted towards the city tower.

"Now that the bandits are plundering, please show your certificate." After Li Ling finished shouting, there was a commotion among the soldiers on the city tower, and these ordinary soldiers naturally did not know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Guang to Hanoi, and now it was a time when the bandits were in turmoil, so it was reasonable to need to check the voucher seal first.

Huo Guang noticed that soon a few soldiers hurriedly ran down the city tower and ran in the direction of the city, and then someone lowered the hanging basket from the city.

"Zhu Wu, show them your seal." Huo Guang motioned for Sima Zhu Wu to take out the seal letter and put it in the hanging basket. It's just that Huo Guang doesn't need to take out his seal letter at all, it's not that he is arrogant or anything, but that his words and deeds in this era must be in line with his own status.

Just when Huo Guang came to Huaixian County for a few days, the Taihang Grand Canyon in Anyang County, which is hundreds of miles away, is now a new look, although the houses are still unchanged, but the spiritual outlook of the people here is new. Whether young and strong, old and weak, women and children all wore thick winter coats, and their faces were ruddy, which was very different from ten days ago. The most obvious is the sturdiness of patrolling and guarding the cottages, and they all pick up iron weapons.

"Big brother, there's news!" Bai Zheng is training hundreds of soldiers in the rear of the cottage, and these originally honest crop men have now become a bit of a battlefield soldier under Bai Zheng's training.

"Oh, tell me about it!" Bai Zheng turned around, and asked a few steps forward with some impatience.

"This time, the emperor did not send any name to Hanoi, but sent an Anyang Jun. This person's name is Huo Guang, originally Chang'an Ling, only sixteen years old this year, and he has never led troops to fight. However, he also has an identity, that is, the younger brother of the hussar general Huo Quai. Bai Bing hurriedly reported the news to Bai Zheng, although Huo Guang came to Hanoi not to make the whole country known, but the actions of thousands of people could not be concealed.

"Huo Guang? The emperor actually sent a sixteen-year-old boy to quell the rebellion. It seems that we can also change the original strategy, since the emperor is so contemptuous of the situation in Hanoi, maybe this is really our chance! When Bai Zheng heard that Huo Guang was only sixteen years old and that he was a person with no combat experience, his mind suddenly turned sharply.

Bai Zheng, who originally only planned to shrink into the Taihang Grand Canyon, arrived at this moment because of Huo Guang, a little-known and young boy, but it rekindled his ambition to suppress the bottom of his heart!
