On the yellow sand, Zhao Ponu and Zhang Qian hugged each other, and both of them let out hearty laughter.

"I have prepared wine in the camp to welcome Bowanghou, welcome home!" Zhao Ponu pulled Zhang Qian's arm and said boldly, a simple welcome home, but it made Zhang Qian, a Zheng Zheng man who crisscrossed the Western Regions, a little tearful.

"Okay, home....... When I go home, I'm going to get drunk tonight! Zhang Qian also said boldly, the word "drunk Fang Xiu" is easy to say, but where can Zhang Qian really dare to get drunk when he is out of the country? Only by going home can he really relax and get drunk!

In the camp of Zhao Ponu located outside Jiuquan City, Zhao Ponu and Zhang Qian sat together, and the generals of the other armies toasted each other with the members of the delegation under Zhang Qian and the envoys from the Western Regions. Zhao Ponu's army was only stationed in the Hexi area, and he was neither the county guard of Jiuquan Wuwei Second County, nor did he have any official position in the second county, so his army could only be stationed in the military camp outside the city.

"Anyang Hou, who listened to what the Hou said, I don't know who it is? Seeing that Cong Hou also admires it, it makes the old man very curious! After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Qian finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Because Zhang Qian has been out of Chang'an for several years, although he will send back messages to Chang'an every once in a while, but his whereabouts are uncertain and far away, and he can't get the news of Chang'an at all.

"Speaking of Anyang Hou, Bo Wanghou may not know yet, right? South Vietnam, East Vietnam, and Jilan have been destroyed. Now the Han Dynasty has set up nine southeastern counties in the location of the original Nanyue Kingdom, and part of Lan has also been incorporated into Jianwei County, and all the remnants of the Dongyue Kingdom have moved into the Jianghuai land. Zhao Ponu did not directly mention Huo Guang, but told Zhang Qian about the world-shocking event that happened last year.

"This ...... What happened in the past few years? God bless my big man! Is it a general? Still is....... Hey, could it be that you are the Marquis of Anyang? Zhang Qian heard that the Han Dynasty had destroyed several major princes in the south in recent years, and his face could not hide his excitement, and then he couldn't help but guess whether such an immortal feat would be done by the Marquis of Anyang in Zhao Ponu's mouth.

Zhao Ponu raised the wine bottle and nodded with a smile, Zhang Qian was even more shocked, although he had never met this Anyang Marquis, there was also a trace of admiration in his heart. However, Zhao Ponu's next words made Zhang Qian even more surprised.

"I first met the Marquis of Anyang more than ten years ago, at that time it was when the Marquis of Bowang went out of the fortress, and when I followed the hussar general into the Mobei grassland, the Marquis of Anyang at that time was still such a tall child......" Zhao Ponu stretched out his hand and compared, his eyes were full of memories.

"Oh? In this way, this Anyang Hou is a young hero like the champion Hou of the year! Zhang Qian said with more and more interest.

"Haha, of course it's the same, can this brother be different? I'll tell you......." Zhao Ponu said with a laugh. Then Zhao Ponu told Zhang Qian in detail about Huo Guang's deeds in recent years.

"Haha....... If it weren't for the last act of Anyang Hou's temperament, the old man would have suspected that he was not human....... For his sister to dare to contradict His Majesty, this Anyang Marquis is really temperamental! After listening to Zhao Ponu's narration, Zhang Qian also took a sip of the wine bottle, and then said with a smile on his back.

Zhang Qian also admired Huo Guang's rapid rise and outstanding achievements, as well as those bizarre but very practical ideas and innovations. In the end, I heard Zhao Ponu say that Huo Guang lost his official position as the general of Sima Pingnan because of Huo Tang's guilt, which made Zhang Qian feel even more real.

"The old man wants to meet this Anyang Hou more and more, I think from the words of the Hou is also highly respectful to Anyang Hou, I'm afraid you are also incompatible, right?" Zhang Qian touched Zhao Ponu with the wine bottle and said in a somewhat playful tone.

This era did not have the heavy constraints of etiquette and learning in the later Song and Ming dynasties, and there was no emperor to taboo personal relations between ministers, so many important ministers had deep friendships with each other, and even many would be praised by the world. Even if the ministers of the court and the ministers of the frontier or the county guards are on good terms, no one will suspect you of misdeeds without conclusive evidence, and even the emperor will not be too suspicious.

This is a time when there is really a big heart and a big heart!

"I was already friends of life and death with Ah Guang in the Battle of Mobei, and besides, the hussar general had the grace of knowing and supporting me, and the generals who can make me admire today are only Anyang Marquis in addition to the general!" Zhao Ponu said without hesitation, everyone in the world knows that he is Huo Qu's right-hand man, and now that Huo Qu is sick and dead, he will follow Huo Guang with all his heart, and he doesn't need to deliberately hide it.

"The old man is really happy today, let's come back again!" Zhang Qian hadn't drunk so happily for several years, and now that he had set foot on his homeland, he was sincerely happy to hear that a young general had come out of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Ponu and Zhang Qian were destined to get drunk this night, and the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City was also unusually busy this night, countless palace servants went in and out, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was anxiously pacing back and forth outside Li Meiren's Palace......

In Taixue, Huo Guang walked into his hometown as usual, and the disciples in the classroom were accustomed to arriving early, or doing war deduction games on the sand table, or practicing the writing of numbers on the desk, and the use of new accounts.

Seeing Huo Guang coming, these disciples all stood up and saluted, although Huo Guang refused to let these people call themselves teachers, but gradually these gentlemen have regarded Huo Guang as their own teacher in their hearts.

"Your Highness the eldest grandson, why didn't they come?" Huo Guang saw that everyone had arrived, but only Liu Jin and Huo Yan did not come.

"Anyang Hou still doesn't know? His Majesty's little prince was born last night, and I heard that there was a banquet in the palace today, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and the little marquis naturally wanted to go. The fat man Liu Kang said with a slight respect, his news is very well-informed.

"Little prince? Which little prince? Huo Guang asked subconsciously.

"Naturally, it's Mrs. Li's prince. By the way, it is the Li beauty who is favored by her singing. Liu Kang stepped forward and walked a few steps, approaching Huo Guang's side and whispered.

"She's made a lady? I don't know what the name of the little prince is? Huo Guang muttered to himself, as if he was asking Liu Kang and as if he was saying to himself.

Liu Kang was slightly stunned, he felt that today's Anyang Hou seemed to be a little different from the past, but he couldn't say what was different for a while. He continued: "I heard that a word was taken. ”

Liu ....... Liu....... It seems that some things still haven't changed......." Huo Guang continued to mumble to himself.

"Anyang Hou, you....... You okay? Liu Kang felt more and more that Huo Guang was unusual, and asked with some puzzlement.

"It's okay, Ben Hou has some things today, you can study by yourself, I'll go first!" Huo Guang raised his head, his face was as calm as ever, and then he dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

Huo Guang walked out of Taixue alone, and the guards who were waiting outside surrounded Huo Guang when they saw him coming out.

"Go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion," Huo Guang dropped a sentence and boarded the carriage.

Soon Huo Guang's frame appeared outside the door of Jingzhao Yin's mansion, and the soldiers on duty at the gate saw the flag on Huo Guang's frame from a distance, and one of them was already busy running towards the mansion. And when Huo Guang's frame stopped in front of the mansion, these soldiers on duty knelt on one knee and shouted at Huo Guang's frame: "Welcome to the Hou Ye"

Huo Guang is the first Jing Zhao Yin, and the entire Jing Zhao Yin Mansion was created by him, even if he is not in his position now, his prestige is still there.

Soon, more than a dozen people in the government trotted out all the way, and the first person was Du Yannian.

"My subordinates have seen Master Hou!" Du Yannian took the lead in bowing to Huo Guang, and the others followed suit. They are talking about subordinates, not subordinates.

"Brother Yannian doesn't have to be polite, I haven't been here for a long time, I want to go in and have a look." Huo Guang stretched out his hand to help Du Yannian, he was still used to calling Brother Yannian.

Although the two often see each other now, and Du Yannian is already a high-powered Jing Zhaoyin, every time Huo Guang calls out the three words Brother Yannian, Huo Guang seems to have returned to the scene when he and Du Yannian entered the officialdom at the beginning of the year, and the two were in Chang'an County.

"Master Hou, please." Du Yannian bowed sideways and moved aside, in his eyes, even if Huo Guang had no official position, he was still his boss, every time he stood in front of Huo Guang, Du Yannian also had a feeling, as if he had returned to the high-spirited age of Chang'an County.

Walking in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Huo Guang looked at the familiar eaves corridor, and the bluestone slabs under his feet that he had stepped on many times. Huo Guang said to himself in a low voice: "Everything here is still like that, not a single grass or tree has changed!" ”

"These are all arranged by Hou Ye himself, and this will always be the case here, even if Hou Ye is not there, it will not change!" Du Yannian followed behind Huo Guang and said subconsciously.

"Brother Yannian, do you remember the scene when we first arrived in Chang'an County?" In the corridor, Huo Guang suddenly turned around and asked Du Yannian.

Du Yannian raised his head, looked at Huo Guang's increasingly wise eyes, and replied, "Naturally, I remember, at that time, there were only Hou Ye and me and Li Ling, and we were all half-grown children at that time. That day, we walked into the Chang'an County Ya, but it was the most high-spirited time in the life of our subordinates, to be honest, although there were only three of us at that time, but it seemed that nothing in the world could stop us. Now every time I think back to the day, my subordinates are still excited! ”

"yes, now we're all in a high position! Maybe there are more and more scruples to be afraid of, right? Ben Hou wants to ask you, if there is still a chance, does Brother Yannian dare to be high-spirited again? Huo Guang looked at Du Yannian, with a solemn look on his face that he had never seen before.

Du Yannian looked at Huo Guang's gaze, bowed to Huo Guang without the slightest hesitation, and said in a sincere and resolute tone: "As long as the Hou Ye gives an order, his subordinates will never give up." ”

"Good....... I was not mistaken. Huo Guang wanted to reach out and help Du Yannian up, and the smile on his face looked extremely relaxed.

But unexpectedly, when Huo Guang's hand was about to help Du Yannian, Du Yannian actually took half a step back, just avoiding Huo Guang, and then bowed to Huo Guang again and said: "Actually, my subordinates have always had something to say to Hou Ye." ”

Huo Guang was also very surprised by this, and looked at Du Yannian with some curiosity, he didn't speak, just quietly waited for Du Yannian's next words.

"If my subordinates can choose, I would rather be a pawn under the Hou Ye account than ask for this Jing Zhaoyin's high position." There was no falsification in Du Yannian's words, and he seemed to regret that he could not follow Huo Guang to South Vietnam that day.

"I understand your intentions...... I think this day will come soon......." Huo Guang said in a somewhat low voice, and then he raised his head and looked at the sky, as if through the layers of white clouds, he saw Hanoi County thousands of miles away.

In Zhihuai County, Hanoi County, Dongfang Shuo's big-sleeved Zen robe fluttered in the wind above the city tower, looking calm, and Li Ling beside him was dressed in armor, which had already faded from the immaturity of the year.

Under the command of Lingqi, nearly 10,000 cavalry under the city of Huaixian changed various formations from time to time, sometimes charging intensively, sometimes defending and defending.
