Li Hun, the deputy general of Yangshan Pass, stood on the pass and looked in the direction of South Vietnam just like Han Qianqiu a few days ago. The garrison general Han Qianqiu had already led his troops deep into South Vietnam, and two days ago he also sent good news and passed it to General Pingnan, who was still on the road. But in the middle of the night yesterday, Li Hun received an urgent military order from General Pingnan, strictly ordering him to guard the pass tightly, even if the guard Han Qianqiu returned, he was not allowed to open the pass. This order made Li Hun feel that Han Qianqiu's subordinates were probably already more than lucky.

"Fortunately, as long as you hold on for one day, General Pingnan will be able to reach Yangshan Pass." Li Hun thought in his heart, he is a general who keeps to success, does not seek merit, but seeks no fault.

"General, General Han is back, and they are less than ten miles away from the pass." While Li Hun was pondering, a soldier stepped forward to report that Han Qianqiu had returned with two thousand light cavalry.

"Quick, the whole army is on alert, and the door must not be opened and closed without my order. This is General Pingnan's military order, if it is really General Han's return, let him temporarily camp outside the Guan. Li Hun hurriedly shouted loudly, letting the herald convey the order everywhere.

Li Hun stood on the tower of the pass and looked nervously at the outside of the pass, and sure enough, only a moment later, a team of about 2,000 cavalry came towards Yangshan Pass. Soon these cavalrymen appeared under the Guan Tower, and Li Hun found that these people were indeed wearing the standard leather armor and helmets of the Han army, and they looked like those soldiers who went out with Han Qianqiu.

"Hurry up and open the door, General Han is injured, and if you don't open the door again, I'm afraid the general will die." One of the knights in the team stepped forward and shouted loudly at the gate, while pointing at a military general lying on horseback behind him.

Li Hun looked at the man lying on horseback, his back was indeed very similar to Han Qianqiu, and his clothes and armor were also Han Qianqiu's. It's just that at this moment he was lying on the back of the horse, and his body was covered by a cloak and his face could not be seen.

"Yesterday, I received an order from General Pingnan, and even if General Han returns before General Pingnan arrives, please temporarily camp outside the Guan. This is a military order, and the general will not dare to disobey. Li Hun stretched out his head and shouted at the pass. Even if it was really Han Qianqiu below, Li Hun had to obey Huo Guang's military orders and dare not open and close the door.

Seeing that Li Hun had no intention of opening the door, the soldier who closed the shouting horse rode back to the team, and bowed his head to 'Han Qianqiu' and said a few words. I saw that 'Han Qianqiu' suddenly raised his head to look at the gate building of Xiangyang Mountain Pass, and then straightened up and stepped forward a few feet. At this time, Li Hun secretly rejoiced that this person was Han Qianqiu, and fortunately he received Huo Guang's military order, otherwise he would definitely open the door in a hurry.

"Boy, if you don't open the door, forget it, this is your General Han, and it is also a gift from the Prime Minister to your General Pingnan. Hahahaha....." The man said with a big laugh, then threw out a bag and landed on the ground, and then left with two thousand South Vietnamese troops disguised as Han soldiers.

When he couldn't see these people at all, Li Hun ordered someone to go down from the hanging basket to the Guan Lou and bring the burden back. When he saw the bloodstains and shape on the baggage, Li Hun guessed what was in it without opening it.....

On the evening of the second day, Huo Guang finally led 8,000 cavalry to Yangshan Pass. Adjutant General Li Hun led people to greet him outside the gate, and a lieutenant officer beside him was holding a wooden box. And Huo Guang had already learned the news of the annihilation of Han Qianqiu's two thousand light cavalry last night, and at the same time, Li Hun also implicitly revealed that Lu Jia sent Han Qianqiu's head to Yangshan Pass to humiliate Huo Guang.

Under Yangshan Pass, in General Pingnan's temporary tent, Huo Guang looked at the wooden box opened in front of him, a head with blue and purple eyes closed, and an irrepressible anger in his heart.

"General, please give the last general 3,000 cavalry, and the last general is willing to step on Panyu for the general." Shangguan Ji was the first to go out to ask for battle, and Huo Guang was surrounded by a few Sima of the Gate Army this time, and there were only a few county lieutenants of Sanfu. It can be said that there is no general in the real sense, and Shangguan Ji, as Huo Guang's henchman, has to stand up at this time.

Huo Guang glanced at Shangguan Ji, swept over the other generals in the tent, and then said, "What are you going to do now?" Isn't it just the ambush of the South Vietnamese Kingdom, do you think that Lu Jia sent Han Qianqiu's head, and deliberately made remarks to provoke General Ben, just to get away with it for a while? He is deliberately provoking me, if we rashly send troops at this time, I am afraid that the dense forests of South Vietnam will be our burial place! ”

Seeing Han Qianqiu's head, Huo Guang was indeed angry in his heart, but he quickly warned himself in his heart that he must be calm. Everything the enemy does is aimed at his own weaknesses, and if he is led by the nose by the enemy, it is a taboo to be a general. Originally, Huo Guang didn't understand these, but he had lived with Huo Qubing for a few years, and Huo Qubing had taught Huo Guang.

"Where are the other armies now?" Huo Guang asked, looking at the map in front of him.

"General Hui, at present, General Fubo has traveled to the vicinity of Linwu County, Guiyang County, and will soon be able to reach Guiyang (not today's Guiyang, but now Lianzhou, Guangdong). However, General Fubo rumored that there were a lot of attritions along the way. General Lou Chuan's Lou Boat Army is heading south along Zhenshui and will arrive at Zhenyang in a few days. General Ge Chuan and General Xia Li are currently heading down the Li River. Huo Guang asked, and soon the captain in charge of clerical information in the army reported.

Huo Guang listened to the report while looking at the map, and then continued: "Zhenyang? In front of the South Vietnamese Puguan, the herald Lou Ship General Yangpu, arrived in Zhenyang to rest for a day and then go all out to capture Puguan. It was also ordered that General Ge Chuan and General Xia Li would hold the Lishui Pass after capturing the Lishui Pass, and they were not allowed to send troops without the order of the general. Summoned the general of Fubo, Lu Bode, to turn with our army as soon as possible. Is there any news from the Southwest? ”

"There is no news from General He Yi yet." The lieutenant replied immediately.

Huo Guang nodded and said that he knew, and the reason why he ordered Zheng Yan and Tian Jia's troops to stop marching after capturing Lishui Pass was actually related to the southwest direction. Because on the east side of Lishui Pass is the territory of Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu in South Vietnam, and on the west side is the only way for Southwest Yi to send troops south. Huo Guang didn't know how He Yu was progressing in the southwest, if everything went well and borrowed the armies of the Bashu and Yelang states, then they would be able to put great pressure on Panyu in the northwest of Nanyue if they joined Zheng Yantian's army at Lishui Pass. If there is a change in the southwest, Lishui Pass can hold the main road, so that South Vietnam and the southwest cannot form a joint force.

"Shangguan Ji, immediately send a probe horse to survey the terrain and details of the walled city from Yangshan Pass to Panyu, and the rest of the people will reorganize the soldiers and horses, and when the heavy grain and grass arrive, our army will make the next move." Huo Guang finally commanded, he didn't plan to attack the city as soon as he came. This is a war to destroy the country, and there must be no sloppiness in any place.

"Subordinates take orders!" The people in the tent all bowed down to receive the order, and then withdrew from the tent one after another.

Soon Huo Guang was the only one left in the big tent, he didn't notice that his subordinates had left, and he was still staring at the map of South Vietnam on the desk in deep thought. After a long time, Huo Guang lowered his head and said as if no one was around: "Summoning Lu Shu, let him do his best to collect intelligence from all over South Vietnam, and at the same time spare no effort to plot against Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu." ”

After Huo Guang finished speaking, he continued to look at the map, and after waiting for a while, he seemed to notice that no one had responded to him, and then he raised his head and glanced to the side. Then Huo Guang smiled self-deprecatingly, and muttered to himself: "I forgot that Sister Tang is not by her side at the moment, it seems that she really can't leave this girl!" ”

Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, is an older figure than Lu Jia in South Vietnam, and more importantly, this person is also the younger brother of Zhao Tuo, the founding monarch of South Vietnam, and his status and prestige even exceed that of Lu Jia. Zhao Guang is also a Han Chinese, Huo Guang concluded that his heart should also be inclined to the Han Dynasty, if this person can be persuaded to surrender, not only can Zheng Yan Tianjia's army be freed, but also can divide South Vietnam into two parts, when the land under the jurisdiction of Panyu is only hundreds of miles, under the siege of several Han armies, it is also a lonely city, so in Huo Guang's view, the key to the battle of South Vietnam is actually on this Cangwu King.

When Huo Guang put his mind on Zhao Guang, the king of Cangwu, Lu Jia's cronies had already arrived in Guangxin City with a large number of gold and silver treasures. Guangxin City has been the second largest city in South Vietnam since the Qin period, and it is also the royal city seat of King Cangwu today. Lü Jia's cronies had the status of envoys of the king of Nanyue, and it was easy to meet Zhao Guang. However, when the cronies saw Zhao Guang, they directly explained their intentions, representing that Prime Minister Lu Jia promised countless benefits to Zhao Guang, and even promised to support Zhao Guang's descendants as the king of Nanyue after repelling the Han army.

However, unexpectedly, Lu Jia's cronies did not get a clear reply from Zhao Guang, so they had no choice but to leave Guangxin City. As soon as Lu Jia's cronies left, Zhao Guang summoned his advisers and generals to discuss.

Although Zhao Guang is a figure in Zhao Tuo's era, he is not particularly old, a few years younger than Lu Jia. The old man in his sixties is also considered to have a long life in this era, and he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and Zhao Guang first said his thoughts when he convened his subordinates.

"Prime Minister Lü Jia wanted to fight against the Han army and make South Vietnam completely independent. This king was originally from the Central Plains, but he was also the king of Cangwu in South Vietnam. Now that the Han army is about to come to the city, this king is also in a dilemma, I don't know what you think? Zhao Guang explained the difficulties, and there was a lot of helplessness in his words, in all fairness, he still had his heart towards the Central Plains, but he had also been the king of Cangwu for decades, and at least more than half of his generals and strategists were natives of South Vietnam.

"King, the Han army is coming violently, I'm afraid that the comers are not good. The Han army that set out from Lingling was almost at Lishui Pass, and the last general thought that he should guard Lishui Pass tightly and send a large army to garrison Lishui Pass. A South Vietnamese indigenous general said that in the eyes of these South Vietnamese natives, the Han army was tantamount to foreign invaders, and the idea of desperate resistance was understandable.

"The king, the minister thinks that it is feasible to send a large army to garrison Lishui Pass, but we must not fight with the Han army, it is best to stalemate, and it is not too late to discuss the victory between the prime minister and the Han army. If the prime minister wins, we will defend it meritoriously, and the king will still be the king of Cangwu, if the Han army wins, we can sacrifice the pass and surrender to protect the king of a marquis of ten thousand households. A scribe about 30 years old said that this person was also a descendant of the Han people, and that several generations of the clan had been officials under the command of King Cangwu. He came up with an idea for King Cangwu to be sold at a price.

King Cangwu's eyes swept over his courtiers, and he could also see that neither the Nanyue natives nor the descendants of the Han people had any intention of surrendering to the Han Dynasty immediately. The indigenous side of South Vietnam is fighting to the end, while the other side is planning to maximize profits. But whether it is the indigenous minister of Nanyue or the minister of Han descent, in fact, no one can guess the real thoughts and intentions of King Cangwu.
