"Report to the Courtyard Jun immediately, the rest army is going to fight with all its might, and everyone will immediately enter the designated position." Above the Yangguan City Tower, Bai Zheng shouted loudly.

As the chief general in the Yangguan area, when he saw this terrifying siege equipment that had made the general helpless, Bai Zheng could only report this critical situation to Huo Tang. And there are also several such devices in Yumen Pass, which is dozens of miles away, but they are not as good as Yangguan in terms of siege equipment and the number of troops.

The news that Huo Guang returned to Chang'an to make Liu Jin the emperor's grandson and that he had become a general had been transmitted back to Hexi. This is a real piece of good news for the military and people of Hexi, and Huo Guang is already a general of the Han Dynasty, and the power of the entire Hexi will naturally fall into the hands of Huo Tang and Dongfang Shuo.

One person is in charge of the army and one person is in charge of the government, and at present, the military and government in Hexi are also in order.

And a woman is in charge of the military, which is rare throughout the ages, especially in this Hexi Army where famous generals gather, Huo Tang can be said to have reached a height that has never been reached by women.

The Governor's Mansion of Dunhuang, where the general's wife and his children now live. On the side of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, a brand new mansion connected to the Governor's Mansion has already been built, which is the center of the entire Hexi Army, where the Privy Council is located.

The Privy Council and the Governor's Mansion are called two mansions, but because of the special relationship between their owners, they are actually connected internally, but there are two separate mansions.

In a study room in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Huo An, who was only seven years old, was sitting in front of the desk, seriously reading military and political documents. These are all documents that record the major military and political events in Hexi, and ordinary Hexi Qianshi officials may not be able to see them.

"An'er is looking through the recent documents again, you just need to understand these things, you are still young after all, don't be tired!" Huo An was fascinated by it, and a soft and pleasant voice suddenly came into the study, he quickly raised his head, and saw Huo Tang in a light green dress walking over.

"The child has seen his mother." Huo An respectfully bowed to his adoptive mother.

Strange to say, Huo Tang, who used to be extremely strict with Huo An in Chang'an, seems to have changed since he came to Dunhuang. Not only is he no longer as strict with Huo An as before, but he has even become very spoiled, just like he wants to cultivate Huo An into a second ancestor who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and Huo Tang seems to have become the kind of loving mother who loses.

At first, even Huo An felt strange, he even thought that his adoptive mother was testing himself, but he became more conscious and hardworking. However, as time went on, Huo An found that his adoptive mother was spoiling himself more and more, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately testing himself at all. It's just that Huo An has developed good habits at this time, even if Huo Tang intends to indulge him, he is not interested in those play and comfortable lives.

"An'er is so diligent, your father will be very happy to know it." Huo Tang approached, looked at Huo An with a doting expression and said.

"The child just wants to grow up so that he can share the sorrows of his father and mother. I heard that the rest of the people began to build that pendulum-like siege machine again, but I don't know if my father is okay in Chang'an? Huo An said respectfully, but he habitually added the word 'we' when talking about his mother.

For his adoptive mother, Huo An is both respectful and afraid. Ever since he vaguely learned that the woman in front of him, whom he called his mother, had an obsessive love for his father, he felt a lot of pressure every time he faced Huo Tang. It was the biological mother he called the eldest mother that made Huo An feel closer and closer, perhaps this is because blood is thicker than water.

"An'er is really growing up, you have to firmly believe in your father, he is the general of the Han Dynasty, and he is the most powerful person in the world. Mother has just received news that your father has sent Wang Yuanyou and Su Wu to conquer the southwestern Zhuyi. As for the rest of the people, don't worry, Hexi is your father's inheritance, and with my mother and me, no one can touch your father's things, not even the man named Olobazo! Although Huo Tang is a woman, there is a heroic spirit that no man has in her words, and she has been in charge of the Privy Council for a long time, and the aura of the superior who is not angry and arrogant on her body has become stronger and more obvious.

"But what if Olobazo goes all out to attack the city? The child also learned from the veterans who came back from Guishan City that even his father didn't have a way to deal with that kind of thing. Huo An still looked a little uneasy, he also knew the strength of the Sabbath Legion and the resourcefulness of Olobazo, although Huo An was not very old, but he also knew a lot.

"Mother is here to say goodbye to An'er, and then mother will go to Yangguan in person, which will be the main direction of rest, and your father is not here, so your mother will go to meet the prime minister of An'er!" Huo Tang said with a calm smile on his face, but there was a faint look of expectation in his eyes.

Then she subconsciously gently stroked the hair next to her ears, a simple and small action, there are indescribable charms. It's a pity that Huo An doesn't understand, and no one here can appreciate it!

"Mother wants to go to Yangguan in person, this is too dangerous, why don't you let the child go with you!" Huo An was shocked when he heard this, the battle between the two levels lasted for a long time, and how dangerous it was only from the previous battle reports Huo An could feel one or two.

"It's really dangerous for you to go as a child, so stay in the house with peace of mind. Don't forget that your mother is a dignified man! Huo Tang squatted down slightly, tidied up Huo An's clothes with both hands, and really looked like a mother and son parting. However, when he finally finished saying the three words Dayuanjun, the momentum of the whole person became like a mountain, and Huo An, who was close at hand, felt a little breathless.

"The child wishes the mother a victory!" Huo An subconsciously took a half step back, bowed down and said to Huo Tang.

"Hehe, boring, not like your father at all!" Huo Tang pursed his lips and smiled, said something inexplicable, then patted Huo An's head, and walked out of the study without saying anything more.

Outside the study, Huo Tang's white-clothed maid was already waiting, and there was also a young Mo family disciple, holding a Mo Mei sword wrapped in brocade in one hand, this Mo family disciple was the young swordsman who used the sword to cut the bamboo cane in the dark pavilion back then.

"Are you all ready?" Huo Tang walked out of the study and asked. She didn't stop at her feet, and continued to walk forward.

The white-clothed maid and the sword disciple immediately followed behind Huo Tang, and the sword disciple replied respectfully behind Huo Tang: "Everything has been prepared for the elder's message. ”

"Go and prepare, let's leave for Yangguan immediately." Huo Tang continued, she had already passed through the corridors and walked towards the outside of the mansion.

Dunhuang is only a few dozen miles away from Yangguan and Yumen Pass, and as early as a few years ago, two wide and flat straight roads were built to connect them, and it doesn't take half a day to arrive quickly from Dunhuang.

At this moment, the two passes are densely and orderly covered with a large number of ballistas, and now the kind of ballista that appears in Hexi is not the standard ballista of the Han army in the past, but a larger and more sophisticated repeater locomotive, a kind of terrifying war machine that is almost equal to the width of the city wall, requires ten people to operate at the same time, and can continuously fire sixty giant crossbow arrows at a time.

The tails of these giant crossbow bolts are also connected by ropes, and after being shot, they can be quickly rolled up and retrieved by winches and manual wheels. This is also made by the disciples of the Mo family in the past six months, and after the improvement of the masters of the Mo family in the past generations, this kind of repeater locomotive technology has been quite mature.

This is the fortification on the wall, and behind the wall that the Sabbath cannot see. A large number of Mo disciples were also busy, dozens of them were busy around a giant machine buried deep in the ground, this is a very rare device, the whole device looks the size of defense, and the combination of various gears and pulley hinges looks like a complex machine, and unlike those wooden machines, most of the components of this kind of equipment are made of metal.

Next to these huge instruments, there are many stones of the size of a person hugging, the stones are about forty or fifty catties, in addition to the stones there are buckets of anointing oil, some Mojia disciples are pouring the anointing oil on the stones with wooden spoons, and some people are pouring the anointing oil into the water bags one by one, this kind of water bags are much larger than the general use, and they are not commonly made of cattle and sheep stomachs, but are sewn together with animal leather, and the water bags have been filled with anointing oil.

The atmosphere of the big battle shrouded the entire range of the two passes, and both the Hexi Army and the Anxittation Army were making final preparations, and it seemed that the final decisive battle between the two armies would take place.

On the straight road leading to Yangguan, a wide carriage drove into Yangguan at a rapid pace under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, and the Mo disciples and Hexi soldiers who were busy in the city saw the carriage, and these people stopped what they were doing and bowed to the galloping carriage, and a banner embroidered with cyan luanniao fluttered in the wind.

The carriage stopped under the outermost Guan Lou, and at this moment, Bai Zheng and other Yangguan generals had also gone down the Guan Lou to greet the characters in the carriage.

"Greetings to the Courtyard!" Bai Zheng and other generals as well as nearby soldiers all bowed and saluted, and greeted them in unison, and thousands of people spoke in unison, and the sound spread for miles.

Huo Tang still walked out of the carriage in a light green dress, her hair bun was pulled up high, and there was a kind of majesty unique to a woman in her dignity.

"All the soldiers are exempt from courtesy, and follow this gentleman to the upstairs to have a look." Huo Tangqing's beautiful voice sounded, and the person had already gotten out of the carriage and headed towards Guanlou Mountain.

"What was the sound just now?" Outside Yangguan, Ou Luobazo and the eight monarchs also vaguely heard the voice of the soldiers of the Hexi Army welcoming Huo Tang just now.

"It seems like they're welcoming someone big." The secretary replied with some uncertainty.

"It's that Qingluan banner, it should be that courtyard king, right? I heard that Hou Huoguang of Anyang returned to the capital of their empire, and now the military power of Hexi has fallen into the hands of this woman. It is a strange country that a woman can lead an army! The newly arrived Hatra monarch pointed to the Qingluan banner that had just been erected on the tower of Yangguan City and said.

As the war deepened, Dahan and Anxi also had a deeper understanding of their respective opponents, and Huo Tang, the king of the courtyard, was no secret in the eyes of Anxi's higher-level officials.

"Don't take the enemy lightly, Hou Huoguang of Anyang is not an idle person. He let this woman take charge of the Hexi Army, definitely not only because this Dayuanjun was his favorite sister. Remember to respect your opponent, even if it's just a woman! Ou Luobazo did not have a trace of contempt because Huo Tang was a woman, and even looked more solemn.

"We will take your motto to heart, Honorable Prime Minister!" The rest of the nobles bowed their heads.

"Then let's attack! In this battle, it is necessary to break through two defenses. Olobazo ignored the people beside him, he stared at the Yangguan Tower and said solemnly, in his eyes, there was a figure on the Guanlou, like a touch of pale green vitality appeared in this barren and bleak world.

He felt as if a pair of wise eyes were looking at him!
