Guangning City was burned by Huo Guang, and Huo Guang's army continued to move south, and soon came to Sihui, the nearest important town to Panyu, which was the last barrier in the north of Panyu. However, at this moment, except for the thousands of panicked defenders in Sihui City, there is not even a single common person, and the people here have fled from Sihui one after another a few days ago and hid in the nearby mountains and forests. Originally, there were 20,000 South Vietnamese defenders in Sihui, most of whom also fled, and in the end, these thousands of people stayed behind because they had a small family in Panyu, so they had to stay behind.

At the head of Sihui City, a South Vietnamese general hid in the battlements and watched the Han army getting closer and closer, and he was already frightened. But after a long time, he didn't see the Han army attacking the city, and looking at the posture, it seemed that the Han army was still camped outside the city. I remembered that a few days ago, the Han army was also encamped outside the city of Guangning, but it was to lure Lu Wuji to attack the Han camp at night and was ambushed instead, but at this moment he wanted to cry without tears, and now the four generals and the Han army are lying outside the city and sleeping, and he doesn't dare to go out of the city!

"General, give the order to attack the city!" In the Han army camp, the generals and colonels under Huo Guang were all high-spirited. For these generals, the slaughter of the city in the past few days has simply made them cool to the bone. Killing is secondary, the important thing is that every time Huo Guang ordered the slaughter of the city, he promised that the looted property would be owned by the soldiers and generals, so that now everyone from the generals to the small soldiers are eager to fight day by day.

"Lubod obeys the order, and the next few days will be gone, and this place will be under your command. However, the city of Sihui can only be besieged but not attacked, and no one is allowed to attack without the order of the general. Huo Guangda issued a military order as expected, but it was not an order to attack the city, but to temporarily hand over the command of this place to Lu Bode, and it was strictly forbidden to attack.

"I wonder where the general is going?" Shangguan Ji came out of the column and asked, now that Huo Guang is the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, every move will affect the entire situation in South Vietnam.

"I'm going to go to Guangxin to meet Zhao Guang and let him change his banner." Huo Guangzhi did not hide his subordinates, and told him about the upcoming secret meeting with Zhao Guang.

"This ..... The general's daughter, don't take any risks! It's better to send an envoy there, and please think twice! Shangguan Ji said with some anxiety. Then all the generals in the tent also advised Huo Guang, hoping that he would not take the risk of going to Guangxin.

Lu Bode pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to let the last general go to Guangxin!" ”

"Forget it, I'd better go! The king of Cangwu named Benjun, you can rest assured that King Cangwu just wants to keep his glory and wealth, and he will not be stupid enough to be unfavorable to Benjun. "Lu Bode is currently second only to Huo Guang in the Southern Expeditionary Army, aside from Huo Guang's title of General Pingnan, Lu Bode is one of the Nine Qings, and even the title is much higher than Huo Guang. It is not impossible to let Lu Bode go to see King Cangwu, but Huo Guang feels that it is better for King Cangwu to meet by himself, and the adjustment of Nanyue's policy will largely depend on King Cangwu's attitude.

"No!" Seeing that Huo Guang had made up his mind, the generals didn't say much.

There is a waterway for Sihui to go to Guangxin, and Huo Guang boarded the ship with a small entourage and went to Guangxin. And when Huo Guangcai wanted this place, Huo Tang hurriedly walked up to Huo Guang and whispered: "Your Majesty, Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue, sent an envoy to report, but he couldn't move forward in the face of strong winds and waves. Yang Fu came to report that the domestic troops of East Vietnam were frequently transferred, and a large number of East Vietnamese soldiers moved in the direction of Baisha, Wulin, and Meiling. General Yang Fu requested an attack on the Dongyue Kingdom. ”

Huo Guang looked at Jiang Shui's mind and thought of the map of Nanyue and Dongyue, and said to Huo Tang after a while: "Agree to Yang Fu's request, order him to attack Dongyue, and tell him to come to see me again with the head of Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue." In addition, in my name, I sent a letter to His Majesty informing him of the changes in Dongyue. ”

"Your Majesty, I have some thoughts about the change of Dongyue, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Huo Tang did not immediately arrange Huo Guang's arrangement, but hesitated for a moment and continued to say to Huo Guang.

"Oh? What do you think, just say. Huo Guang looked at Huo Tang with some surprise, but nodded to her encouragingly.

"Xiaomei remembers that Zhu Maichen, the chief of the meeting, has written to His Majesty many times that the king of Dongyue has long been disobedient, but Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue, has always behaved very well, and even the ministers of the court and the central government do not believe that Yu Shan will rebel. I think that since Zhu Maichen has long been aware of Yu Shan's rebellion, he must also know the Dongyue Kingdom very well, and he is a county Taishou, maybe he has been preparing for the Dongyue rebellion for a long time. The king is now controlling all the soldiers and horses south of the river, and this county is also within the scope of the king's dispatch. Huo Tang said cautiously and in as much detail as possible. These messages were all obtained after she sorted them out on weekdays, and once she could use them, she immediately told Huo Guang about them.

"And this? Little sister, this is another great achievement. Since this is the case, he immediately ordered Zhu Maichen to raise the troops of Huiji to assist Yang Fu's army in attacking Dongyue. Huo Guang naturally wouldn't know about an ordinary county guard like Zhu Maichen, but since Huo Tang said so, Huo Guang also believed it, so he decided to use Zhu Maichen to coordinate Yang Fu's attack on East Vietnam.

"Your Majesty, but will this make our army's threat to Panyu lower. Now General He Yi's soldiers and horses in Southwest Yi have not yet arrived, so Panyu only needs to face the 30,000 people we have placed in Sihui. "Although Huo Tang does not have any position in the army, she will consider everything thoroughly, and as long as she thinks it is necessary, she will bring it up for Huo Guang to know.

Huo Guang waved his hand and said: "This matter is okay for the time being, the massacre of the city in the past half a month has made the South Vietnamese soldiers and civilians frightened of our Han army." Aren't we looking for reinforcements? As long as the king of Cangwu is convinced, Panyu will be a lonely city. It wasn't until this moment that Huo Tang discovered that Huo Guang's battle of slaughtering the city in the past few days had hidden such a deep meaning.

Huo Guang naturally thought of it, and it seemed that he was deliberately cultivating, and Huo Guang had never been tired of Huo Tang's problems. When Huo Guang arrived at Duanxi along the waterway, an unexpected person appeared in front of Huo Guang.

"My subordinates meet you." Lu Shu didn't know when he appeared in Duanxi, and he didn't care that the subordinates next to him bowed when they saw Huo Guang. Now Lu Shu can be said to be famous all over the world, but he knows in his heart that everything he has is actually given by Huo Guang, and even all this still belongs to Huo Guang. He was the first group of people to follow Huo Guang, and even though his loyalty had not changed at all in the past few years.

"I haven't seen you in a few years, and I've gained a lot of weight! I didn't expect you to come here in person this time. Huo Guang waved his hand to signal Lu Shu to take a seat, and his tone was very casual. On weekdays, Huo Guang never restricted Lu Shu's actions except for giving him some tasks, and even Huo Guang hadn't seen Lu Shu for several years.

"Hehe, let you see a smile. His subordinates knew that this Jun's southern expedition was a major event, so they put down those things that were not important and mobilized all their forces to come to South Vietnam to secretly assist Junshang. Lu Shu had already said respectfully.

"By the way, you've already met Zhao Guang, what do you think of this person?" Huo Guang asked the question he was most concerned about. Lu Shu had only met Zhao Guang a few days ago, and had initially reached some conditions with Zhao Guang for surrender.

"This man is old, and he has long lost the ambition of his youth. All he thought about was the glory and wealth of himself and his descendants, and he even bargained with his subordinates to see if he would be a marquis of ten thousand households or a marquis of a thousand households after surrendering..... These villains can call the shots, so he hopes to be able to talk to the king in person. Lu Shu said with a smile, when he met with Zhao Guang, he felt that this Zhao Guang was more like a businessman.

Hearing this, Huo Guang bowed his head slightly and pondered for a moment, and after a long while, he spoke: "In this way, you underestimate him, it is not unreasonable for this person to be able to gain a foothold in South Vietnam for so many years. Originally, he thought you were a lobbyist sent by His Majesty, but now he may have guessed the relationship between you and me. ”

Lu Shu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he came to his senses in an instant, so he hurriedly said: "My subordinates are incompetent, and I actually let this Zhao Guang take advantage of it!" Please also punish you. ”

"Forget it, your talent lies in business, this kind of court scheming is not your forte, and it is nothing to follow Zhao Guang's way. You don't have to worry about it. "Huo Guang knows that people make the best use of their talents and show their strengths. He wouldn't blame Lu Shu for this.

"The subordinate deserves death, I don't know what remedy is available?" Lu Shu knew that Huo Guang had never wanted to disclose the relationship between the two, and hoped that all this would be done in secret, but now that Zhao Guang has detected it, it is estimated that it will not take long for it to become known to the world.

"In this way, from now on, you will turn from darkness to light, expose all your forces in South Vietnam, and let everyone in the world know that you are providing intelligence and materials for the Southern Expeditionary Army. At the same time, in the name of General Pingnan, I will write to Your Majesty to ask for merit for you, saying that you will not hesitate to spend your family wealth to contribute to the country. Maybe you'll be able to become a merchant like Nab. Huo Guang thought for a moment and said with a smile. Since Lu Shu's identity may have been exposed, Huo Guang simply didn't hide it if he wanted to. Of course, all this should be done as a spontaneous patriotic act of Lu Shu, so that everyone in the world thinks that Lu Shu supported the Southern Expedition of the Han Dynasty with his patriotic enthusiasm, so naturally no one will associate Lu Shu with Huo Guang. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a precedent for the merchant to give the marquis, when the Bu style scattered all the family property to help the border against the Xiongnu, he was given the title of the chief of the left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was later appointed as the prime minister of Qi, because of the relief of the victims and was entered into the marquis of the Guannei.

"This ..... How does this work? Lu Shu was a little frightened, and hurriedly stood up and knelt down in front of Huo Guang. In his opinion, everything he owned, and even all the money and materials he used for what he did were Huo Guang's. If he was really made a marquis as Huo Guang said, wouldn't it be tantamount to taking Huo Guang's things to ask for credit.

"It doesn't matter! There are still many things that you need to do in the future, and if you have a better identity, it will also be beneficial to do things for me. Huo Guang approached Lu Shu and stretched out his hand to help him up. Although Lu Shu is a big businessman who moves the world, he may even be the richest man in the Han Dynasty. But the status of businessmen in this era is not high after all, and everything that Lu Shu has is actually nothing in the eyes of the top wealthy families of the Han Dynasty, and even some powerful figures can destroy Lu Shu in an instant. If this operation is done properly, Huo Guang will obtain a good title for Lu Shu, then it will be more conducive to Lu Shu's foothold in the future, and it will also make his huge industry less peeped by people with ulterior motives.
