Chapter 271: The Prime Minister and the Grand Governor

The head of Guishan City, Bai Zheng Li Ling and other generals were all in full array, and their eyes could see the distant horizon from the city wall. The three sections of the city wall are now full of tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of troops under the city tower, which can replace the soldiers on the city tower at any time.

"Here ......" Li Ling took the heavy sword in one hand and stuck the tip of the sword on the ground. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he said two words to himself.

There was silence above the city wall, and many people heard Li Ling's words, and at this time everyone stared at the horizon, but there was still nothing there.

Only Bai Zheng heard Li Ling say those two words, and his eyes fell on the heavy sword in Li Ling's hand. Bai Zheng trembled slightly when he saw Li Ling's heavy sword inserted in the city wall.

After a few moments, many of the soldiers' weapons on the ground began to tremble slightly, and then a silver glow, like a tide, began to appear on the horizon.

With an army of 180,000 and 15,000 ironclad cavalry, what was it like to march such a legion? Even the soldiers standing on the walls of Guishan would feel that the earth began to tremble, that is, a torrent of steel swept over the earth, and anything that stood in their way would be destroyed.

In the city of Guishan, in the palace of Dawan King. Huo Guang sat on the throne of the former King of Dawan, and below him were Dongfang Shuo, Wu Cai, Sima Qian, and Su Wu. These people were dressed in regular clothes, and even Huo Guang was not wearing armor.

At this moment, there was still paper and pen on the desk in front of Sima Qian, but he did not mention the pen at the moment, but listened carefully, Su Wu was talking about what he had seen and heard in Rome, and Huo Guang was playing with the rare ruby that Sula gave him.

"A ruby of this size is rare in the world, and it is enough to buy a castle in peace! It's a truly priceless treasure! Zuo Xiangfu Cai looked at the ruby in Huo Guang's hand and praised it.

"Such a treasure should have its name, I wonder if Su Sicheng knows its name?" Dongfang Shuo was slightly surprised when he heard that such a gem could be exchanged for a castle. Those who own castles in Rest are at least considered middle nobles, and even some small countries have castles for kings.

"This ..... Sulla, the archon, did not mention it. Since the thing is already the Metropolitan Governor's, it is better to have the Metropolitan Governor rename it! Su Wu was a little embarrassed to ask, he did forget to ask the name of the gem, and Sula did not mention it.

"It's good, but what's the use of me as a big man asking for this? Such a beautiful gem naturally has to be matched with the most beautiful woman in the world to complement each other, and the name will be left for the lady to pick it up in the future! Huo Guang looked at the gem and smiled lightly, but he didn't name it, but planned to leave the gem to Li Yan.

"Haha, as soon as the Metropolitan Governor said this, I don't know how many women in the world I have to envy!" Dongfang Shuo said jokingly.

Giving the priceless gem to his wife, and asking his wife to name the treasure, Dongfang Shuo can already foresee that the future name of this rare gem will spread all over the world, and the story of Huo Guang and Li Yan and this gem will inevitably be praised by the world!

Huo Guang also had a smile on his face, but after a while, his expression suddenly changed, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a solemn face, and at the same time, he held the rare treasure tightly in the palm of his hand.

"It's coming......" Huo Guang gently spit out two words in his mouth, and his body gradually sat up straight.

Sima Qian lowered his head and looked at the paper and pen on the desk, and just as his eyes fell on the desk, the brush that had been resting on the pen stand trembled slightly, and it was about to fall off the pen stand. Sima Qian stretched out his right palm, clamped the pen firmly between his fingers, and then pressed his left hand heavily against the paper on the desk, and began to write with his head buried in his head.

The march of the 180,000 army was earth-shattering, and soon the sound of heavy horses' hooves and the neat footsteps of the infantry phalanx reached Guishan City. This invisible momentum, accompanied by the sound of shaking the heavens and the earth, was like a sense of oppression like a substance rushing towards Guishan City.

Fifteen thousand ironclad cavalry stopped right in front of the ravine dug outside the city. Then the footsteps of the army also stopped abruptly, and the army slowly separated, and the last few people dressed in the clothes of the rest nobles appeared in front of the ironclad cavalry, looking at the ravines in front of them.

"Send my letter over." Prime Minister Olobazo took a parchment roll from his cuff and handed it to his secretary.

Soon the secretary tied the sheepskin to a long guard of honor spear, and he walked step by step towards the Guishan castle tower with the honor guard spear.

"No one is allowed to shoot without my orders." Bai Zheng hurriedly ordered. The ballistas on the castle tower were already ready, and countless archers were ready to shoot. Seeing only one of the resting men walking towards the tower with a spear in hand, almost all the bows and arrows were directed at the secretary who was preparing for the Olobazo.

"Looks like these Sabbatarians are quite polite. Do you still know that you salute before you soldiers? Li Ling said with a grin. The secretary was wearing a cloth robe, not at all like a soldier, and Li Ling estimated that the spear should be tied to something similar to a war book.

"Put down the hanging basket." Bai Zheng continued to order.

Soon the parchment scroll of Olobazo appeared at the head of Guishan City, and then a school captain hurried to the palace where Huo Guang was located with the parchment scroll.

Seeing that the parchment was sent to the city, Olobazo nodded and smiled, and then said to the five kings beside him: "Let's go, the scenery of that place is good, let's go and wait there." ”

Olobazo pointed to a hillside to the east of Guishan City.

Olobazo turned on his mount and headed for a hillside on the east side of Guishan City with the five kings and hundreds of guards. It is still six or seven miles away from Guishan City, and the surrounding terrain is open and unobstructed, and you can take in the situation outside Guishan City when you stand there.

When Olobazo went to Dongshan with the five kings, the parchment scroll was also delivered to Huo Guang. Huo Guang naturally didn't know the Sabbath script on the parchment scroll, but after several years, Su Wu had a very in-depth understanding of the written languages of various countries, and the Sabbath script and language were the objects of his key learning.

"The Governor, this is a letter from Prime Minister Olobazo, who wants to meet with you...... At this moment, he was waiting outside the city for the Metropolitan Governor ......" Su Wu translated the contents of the parchment scroll, but this content surprised him. The first thing an imperial prime minister with an army of 180,000 was not to attack the city, but to meet with the enemy commander first......

"Now that the two armies are fighting, this person is acting so differently from ordinary people, his subordinates feel that it is not appropriate for the Metropolitan Governor to take risks at this time, please think twice!" Huo Guang hadn't decided whether to go or not, but Dongfang Shuo took the first step to advise.

"It is precisely because His Excellency the Prime Minister is acting in a different way that I have to go. Besides, everyone has been invited by letter, wouldn't it be rude if you don't go? Su Wu will accompany me for a trip, is there any problem with your body? Huo Guang said with a smile at Dongfang Shuo, not looking at all worried that Ou Luobazo would be unfavorable to him.

"To be able to meet this legendary first wise man of rest, his subordinates can't ask for it, and this little injury is no big deal." Su Wu bowed down and said, he had already liked this feeling of being surrounded by the heroes of the nations, and now even if he was allowed to take a high position in Chang'an, Su Wu would refuse without hesitation. To meet the rumored Prime Minister Olobazo, Su Wu was already looking forward to it!

"Governor, please allow your subordinates to come with you." Just as Huo Guang was about to leave the city, Sima Qian suddenly stood up, regarded himself as a subordinate for the first time, and asked Huo Guang to take him with him to meet Ouluobazo.

Huo Guang stopped a little unexpectedly and turned to look at Sima Qian. For this famous Taishi Ling, Huo Guang can't talk about respect now, and he doesn't have any special emotions. Huo Guang didn't have any in-depth communication with Sima Qian, he only knew that Li Ling's fate had been changed by himself, maybe Sima Qian's fate had also changed, and even Sima Qian had not returned to Chang'an for a long time, maybe he really wouldn't have left that regret in history.

"I heard that you are compiling a history book called "Taishi Ji"? If you die outside, you won't have a chance to finish the book in the future! Huo Guang said to Sima Qian in a somewhat ridiculous tone, originally he wanted to talk about eunuchs, but thinking that there was no such thing in this era, he finished speaking, Huo Guang estimated that Sima Qian should be able to understand what this meant.

The name "Historical Records" was crowned by later generations, and at this time, Sima Qian called the historical book he was compiling "Taishi Ji", which means very simple, that is, it refers to the record of Taishi Ling.

In the past few years, Sima Qian has been a celebrity in the Western Regions, but he has a somewhat transparent feeling in front of Huo Guang, Huo Guang never interferes with his actions, and even motions to his subordinates to help Sima Qian as much as possible, but the two have never had more than three sentences of dialogue.

"Hehe, the majority of the governors are in danger of the Western Regions, you are not afraid, and your subordinates are only a knife and pen officer, why are you afraid?" It was the first time Sima Qian had said so many words to Huo Guang, and he bowed to Huo Guang, and there was a kind of anger and blood splashing five steps on his body.

"Good! I also want to read Tai Shiling's masterpiece when I have time. Now let's go and meet the prime minister in peace. Cangwu-kun, I'll leave it to you first! Huo Guang nodded and agreed to Sima Qian's request, and then designated Dongfang Shuo to take over his command.

Originally, Dongfang Shuo also wanted to dissuade Huo Guang, or let himself go out of the city to see Ou Luobazo instead of Huo Guang. But Huo Guang directly called him Cangwu Jun, which was equivalent to letting Dongfang Shuo stay in Guishan City in the form of an order, and he could only bow down and receive the order without saying anything.

Soon, Huo Guang took Su Wu and Sima Qian, plus a hundred guards and rode out of Guishan City towards Dongshan. In fact, the place chosen by Ou Luo Bazuo is not far from Guishan City, even if there is any situation, with the combat power of Huo Guang's more than 100 horsemen, it is not difficult to protect him from the encirclement. What's more, Guishan City can also see every move of the rest army, since Ou Luo Bazo and others went to Dongshan, his 180,000 army is still in place and has not moved, Ou Luo Bazo is actually telling Huo Guang with practical actions that this is a simple meeting.

On the gentle slope of the East Mountain, Huo Guang took the lead.

Ouluobazo's subordinates had already set up a simple tent, and this kind of simple building that should be called a pergola in the Han Dynasty was the place where Ouluobazo and Huo Guang met.

Less than a hundred zhang away from the pergola on the top of the mountain, Huo Guangle stood on his horse, then turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guards beside him, and walked to the pergola on foot with Sima Qian and others. Huo Guang, Sima Qian and Su Wu are all wearing Han clothes, this kind of tops and bottoms with large sleeves and fluttering clothes, which perfectly interprets the beauty of Hanfu, and there is a demeanor between walking, showing elegance and calmness.

"It seems that this Eastern Commander is also an extraordinary person, and I will personally greet him." Ou Lobazo, who saw Huo Guang for the first time in the pergola, slowly stood up. He straightened out his noble robes, and led the five kings who were also wearing robes to greet Huo Guang.

When Ou Luobazo saw that Huo Guang was not wearing the battle armor used on the battlefield, but the clothes worn by the Han nobles during sacrifices or gatherings in the portrait, Ou Luobazo's first impression of Huo Guang was actually very good.

The resting nobles also had their own gowns, which were worn only for solemn ceremonies, to meet distinguished guests, or to meet the king. As the first wise man of the Empire, he had his own pride and reserve, and he usually wore ornate robes that represented his aristocracy, and today he chose one of his favorites with gold embroidered gold thread on the collar and cuffs.

In Ou Luobazo's understanding, Huo Guang came to see him in a Han dress. As a proud person who respects his opponent very much, when he encounters a strong opponent who can also respect himself, that feeling is better than the flattery of countless mediocre people!

One is the prime minister of the powerful Anxi Empire, and the other is the governor of the Han Empire who sits in the Western Regions and has more than 100,000 troops. When both of them walked towards each other, their eyes naturally met.
