Chapter 335: Finale and Afterword

Previous Chapter

"If after my death, the Liu family is incompetent, the descendants of the Huo family can replace me. If the descendants of the Huo family are faint, the people of Anyang will want to raise the Han flag and return to the east. This can be regarded as my last edict......" Huo Guang was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Little sister understands." Huo Tang nodded, not feeling anything wrong because Huo Guang had made an edict so early.

Huo Guang's army continued westward, and Bai Zheng also led 30,000 cavalry from Lucheng south to attack Hyderabad and other places. A year later, Huo Guang's army had advanced to Mulu City, and behind him a territory of nearly three million square kilometers had been formed. Within a year, the Western Regions had been completely incorporated into the rule, and even with the efforts of Du Yannian and others, the sinicization had been initially completed. The only thing that is lacking now is time, and as long as there is enough time to develop a large population, this vast territory will become a world completely ruled by Han culture.

On the other hand, Bai Zheng, with the cooperation of the Kushan Empire's Marquis Yu, has also completely occupied Hyderabad and other places, and connected this area to the Western Regions. A large number of Hyderabad mines were mined and smelted, and a steady stream of weapons were manufactured directly from here to be shipped to the battlefield, and with the mass production of Hanyang steel weapons, Huo Guang even traded some of these defective or inferior products to the Kushan Empire and Rome.

After the Kushan Empire updated some of its weapons, and with the cooperation of tens of thousands of cavalry of Bai Zheng, the Indian subcontinent was soon full of smoke, and after several years of conquest, the entire South Asian region was ruled by this Kushan Empire. Sulla's legions finally conquered the resting capital of Ctesiphon, forcing the king of kings, Mithridates II, to move the capital to the city of Apameia on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea.

On the battlefield on the Eastern Front, Huo Guang's army also defeated Prime Minister Olobazo, and in the third year of the war, Huo Guang successfully captured Susia, an important town in the eastern part of the Rest Empire.

This Sabbatarian Empire, which once crisscrossed the Eurasian continent and occupied the richest land, was attacked by Rome, Kushan, and Anyang, and after five years of war, most of the land was finally lost, and a large number of states were completely wiped out. Eventually, Mithridates II, the king of kings, also died in grief. By this time, the once vast empire was reduced to a long and narrow stretch of land from the city of Apameia on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea to Persepolis near the Arabian Sea.

However, after Sulla occupied a large area west of the Caspian Sea and the Arabian Sea, Huo Guang occupied the land east of Susia, and the Kushan Empire occupied the South Asian continent south of Tra, the three forces tacitly stopped the offensive and began to focus on digesting and occupying the territory.

Just as the three forces suspended the war, the prime minister of the Rest Empire, Olobazo, issued an armistice agreement to the leaders of the three forces at the same time, and proposed to hold a four-party meeting in Apamaia, and the peace officially admitted the defeat and agreed on the current sphere of influence.

When the nobles of the Rest Empire thought that they were at the end of the road, they did not believe that Prime Minister Olobazo could save Rest from destruction with this paper agreement. However, the result of the matter was really unexpected, and almost at the same time, both Sulla, Huo Guang, and even the Emperor of the Kushan Empire agreed to Olobazo's proposal, and they all decided to go to Apamea City in person.

In the palace of the Anyang King in Susya City, Huo Guang announced the news that the Quartet was scheduled to meet in Apamaia City.

"King, seeing that the rest is about to fall, why don't we continue to attack, and the other two countries are willing to maintain the status quo?" Li Ling was puzzled and asked most people's doubts.

"If we continue to fight, we can perish and rest in peace, but at the same time we will be completely bordered by Rome and Kushan, which is not a good thing. Moreover, the territory is too vast, and so many people of different races are not conducive to rule, which is not only a solitary consideration, but also Sulla and the Kushan Emperor realized this. Therefore it is in our interest to remain in rest. Huo Guang gave a simple explanation.

It is true that the territory of their tripartite alliance is already too vast now, and the population has not reached the level of completely ruling such a huge territory, and the population of the Rest Empire is too large, if these people are included in the rule, it will be a hidden danger.

It's like when digestion is limited, those delicious foods can only be swallowed slowly, and they can't be eaten when they are put in front of you.

"How many troops does the king need to bring with him to Apamea this time?" Bai Zheng asked. He had already arrived in Susia from Hyderabad, which had become the rear of the Anyang Kingdom, and there was no need for this capable commander under Huo Guang to continue to stay there.

"Thirty thousand elite horsemen are as you like, Dayuanjun and I will go, and the others will stay in Susya and listen to Wu Anjun's orders." Huo Guang made a simple deployment, and only brought Huo Tang and 30,000 elite horsemen.

"Sister Tang, let the queen and them prepare, after the Apameya agreement is signed, let them set off, I promised them to take them to see the different scenery of this world, Sula also sent me an invitation, the Mediterranean style is desirable......" After the generals left, Huo Guang gave another command to Huo Tang. This time it was not a military event, but it was completely enjoyable.

"I've been tired for half my life, but it's not in vain to be able to appreciate this beautiful world...... Would you like to bring your princess with you? Huo Tang also showed a relaxed smile on his face. This battle has been fought for five years, and she and Huo Guang's lives have gone through more than half of their lives. At their age, there are few five years left to live.

"Tell her, and let her come with her if she wills." Huo Guang didn't think much about it, he found that even the memory of Liu Xijun, the princess, was a little blurry in his mind, because they hadn't seen each other for five years, and it seemed that in Huo Guang's memory, Liu Xijun was still the little girl who was a little timid in Taixue's hometown.

A few months later, in the city of Apameya on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, Huo Guang finally met Sula, whom he had been friends with for a long time. Now Sula is no longer young, and even looks older than Huo Guang, but his eyes that are extremely aggressive and full of wisdom make people think of lions and foxes at first sight, and Huo Guang still recognizes him at first sight. At the same time, Huo Guang also saw his old rival Olobazo, as well as the emperor of the Kushan Empire.

This time, Huo Guang only brought Huo Tang and 30,000 elite cavalry with him, and Sula also only brought Caesar and his chariot army, and Emperor Guishan only brought Yu Hou and more than 20,000 emperor guards. Without the feeling of being overwhelmed by the soldiers, there would have been no tension in the meeting, and Olobazo was like a hospitable host, giving the guests the most grand and grand courtesy.

The Apameya Agreement was signed by four parties, but none of them were emperors, one was the dictator of the Roman Republic, one was the prime minister of peace, and the other was the king of the Han vassal states. As a result, this agreement, which occupies an important position in history, has confused many historians in later generations.

After the signing of the Apameia Agreement, the four countries completely entered a period of peace, and since then there has been no war in Eurasia, because of the peace agreement of the four countries, the prosperity of commerce across the Eurasian continent has arisen, this time it is not just a Silk Road, but several prosperous trade networks that run across the north, south, east and west, and almost every city on the continent.

Since then, there has been no war in the world for a hundred years, and after decades of development, Anyang has completely ruled the Central Asian region east of Susia. Until the throne of King Anyang passed to the third generation, that is, when Huo Guang's eldest grandson Huo Cheng, Anyang and the Han still maintained the relationship between the vassal state and the suzerain, and until Huo Guang, each generation of Princess Anyang must be the most noble princess of the Han Dynasty.

On the Han side, Liu Jin was an eloquent emperor, and he recreated the prosperity of Wenjing's reign during his reign, but unfortunately he was not a long-lived emperor, and did not reign for more than 50 years like his grandfather, Emperor Xiaowu. He died after less than twenty years in power. However, his son Liu Xun, with the assistance of Zhang Anshi, Su Wu, Huo Huan, Wang Yuanyou and other old ministers, also created a prosperous era, and at the same time, Wang Yuanyou, the Marquis of Yangwu, became the general of the Great Sima, and the Wang family also became the first major relative of the Han Dynasty, followed by the top families such as the Zhang family, the Su family, and the Sima family.

There were many intermarriages between several major families, and gradually a political system in which the family controlled the government was formed in the Han Empire.......

------ (End of book)

postscript

I finally finished writing, and I was a little reluctant and uncomfortable. In general, there are no regrets. After all, this is a book that has been interrupted for four whole years, and I don't remember the plot of 500,000 words until now. Then write it down, and finish it with a clear conscience!

It is precisely for this reason that there are many flaws and imperfections in the book, and there are even more loopholes that are not rigorous, which I know, but I really can't change it later. Even the routines and style of writing four years ago are a bit boring now.

The second half and the end of the book are completely on a different path, because I don't know the original outline and ending.

Although this book has huge twists and turns, the harvest is naturally huge, in addition to the harvest of words, it is also a eunuch book that has been broken for more years, without the guarantee of updating and the guarantee of completion, there are still hundreds of book friends to support, to be honest, you can finish writing half of your strength. I won't thank you all here, saying too much is too sensational, but it makes people feel hypocritical.

Let's talk about the main point, about the end of the book and some of the hidden plots.

In fact, in the later stage of this book, there is an important character line, that is, Yangwu Marquis Wang Yuanyou. There is no such person in history, maybe some careful book friends have discovered it, when Huo Guang first met him, I have already vaguely mentioned in my words, this Wang Yuanyou is a suspected traveler, you can treat this book as a double-worn story.

Why set up such a person? Those who are familiar with history should know that Wang He, the brother of Wang Yuanyou in the book, is none other than Wang Zhengjun's grandfather. Speaking of which, everyone should have thought of another person, right? That's right, it's Wang Mang!

At the end of this book, I just want him to return to the historical line, and even in the setting of the Xiongnu in the north and south, and the foreshadowing of the Hu people stationed on the border, it is also to re-establish the historical line. After hundreds of years of changes, all history will go on the original trajectory again, this is not written, it can be regarded as the author's own idea!

Finally, let's talk about the problem of the protagonist, and some book friends reacted in the later stage, saying that the protagonist's personality has changed, and he is directly setting himself up, and there is a taste of self-defeat. I think it's normal, the original Huo Guang is indeed perfect, it can be regarded as affectionate and righteous and decisive, and it can even be said that it is a last resort in the early stage, and there is no negligence. But it's exactly like this that makes me feel that the protagonist is too perfect, and the perfect one doesn't look like an ordinary person.

From the perspective of the author and the reader, we can examine the whole world in the book from the perspective of God, but even as a traverser, the protagonist cannot have an insight into everything, let alone be comprehensive, which is also the reason why Huo Guang will have helplessness in the later stage of the book. Of course, it is also possible that I have a good idea, but the pen is not strong enough to write the desired effect.

That's all for this "Han Frontier", and I'm too lazy to open a single chapter until now, so I'll talk about the new book below.

As for the new book, it was already available when I came back a few months ago to rewrite the book. And it is a book that has been constantly conceived in the past few years without writing, and even has a Xianxia text that begins with seventy or eighty thousand words. History and Xianxia are my two favorite types of essays, there is no distinction between important and important, when I started writing online articles, I also wrote it myself because I felt that it was not enjoyable to read.

I had high hopes for this Xianxia text, and it can be said to be the Xianxia story in my heart, but then I decided to abandon this idea and continue to write historical essays. At this time, I set up a pure history with the chaotic times at the end of the Qin Dynasty as the background, and Hengyang Junhan became the protagonist, a pure historical article with a pure online text routine.

Well, the backstage for the opening, the cover and everything is built, and just a few days ago, I once again overturned this historical idea. Because I remembered the idea when I continued to write this "Han Frontier", that is, not to forget the original intention.

If you want to write, you have to write what you like, and if you want to write, why should you think about receiving many people? So a new, bold idea came to mind. Since I like history and Xianxia, why not combine history with Xianxia?

I like to write about niche time periods in history, and I like classical Xianxia, the kind of Xianxia that is truly immortal and chivalrous. It's not the kind of pseudo-fairy who has lost his chivalry, obsceneness, thick blackness, philistine, above power, and full of interests!

Therefore, in the end, the new book is positioned as a classical Xianxia text with the Six Dynasties era as the background and a time spanning hundreds of years. A Xianxia text with 'history as the skin and Xianxia as the bone'. This book has a complex background, and it is not a simple model of upgrading and strength, it is destined to be difficult to write, it is destined to be difficult, and it is destined not to be liked by too many people, but I believe that even if it is ten years, I will finish writing her!

Perhaps such a fairy is a dream, an unrealistic dream, which only exists in our feelings. So I'm just going to see if I can weave this dream into reality for the sake of feelings?

The new book is scheduled to be uploaded at the end of December, and the upload will begin on January 1 at the latest, and the cover title has been established in the background.

"The Legend of the Six Dynasties" The following is a synopsis:

In the rebellion of the eight kings of Jin, the people of the Central Plains did not survive. At this time, the sky was chaotic, and the Hu people moved inward. Wuhu established the country and forced the Han people to cross to the south.

There are endless wars here, and national enemies and family hatreds. There are Wei and Jin dynasties, and children are long.

The wild and uninhibited Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the frank and free Lanting celebrities. Those familiar names gather in this chaotic and brilliant era.

However, outside the history books, there are hidden immortals and masters, and there are great demon dragons. There are sword immortals who go in and out of the green underworld, and there are cultivators who fly to the heavens and the earth.

Who's going to see it? Wang Xizhi's pen poured into the mountains. Xie Xuan waved his hand, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. Fu Jian threw a whip and broke off the stream while talking and laughing. Xie Daoyun Yongxue became a poem, frozen for thousands of miles. Su Ruolan's "Xuanji Map" came out, sealing the heavens and the Jedi.

The story begins at the end of the Three Kingdoms, when the Eastern Wu Zhou eliminated the three evils and killed the tiger.......
