Chapter 342: Champion Hou is here, and he wants to finish [asking for votes]
The water system on both sides of the Yangtze River extends in all directions.
Huo Qubing and his entourage let the boat go straight down, and after arriving in Ba County, they turned to enter the Yanjiang River system, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and continued to the south, and the ethnic minorities along the coast gradually increased, and they began to approach the area called Nanyi in the Han Dynasty.
The forces within its territory are staggered, and although they belong to the Han, they have the power of self-control.
The imperial court's dominance over them was relatively weak.
chose to take a boat, Huo Quai's main reason was that Liu Qing was pregnant and tired, so he used the boat to travel.
The scenery on both sides of the strait is beautiful, the mountains are undulating, and the land is vast.
The ships of the Han Dynasty, after the accumulation and precipitation of the Qin Dynasty, have been very developed.
Ships are divided into many types according to different uses, passenger ships, war ships, cargo ships, etc.
It is subdivided into boats, boats, flat boats, and light boats, with different sizes. Among the warships, there are different kinds of ships, bridge ships, ships, fighting ships, and building ships.
The building ship is the most grandiose, as the name suggests, is to build a building on the ship, the hull is divided into three to five layers, usually up to more than ten zhang.
By the time of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan's building ship "Feiyun" in Eastern Wu could carry 3,000 soldiers on one ship.
The boat runs on the water, like a small moving city.
Huo Qubing used a four-story building-style warship, the top floor is called the Bird Room, which means the height that can only be reached by birds, with twenty-four giant oars on each side, paddling like flying.
The hull of the ship is surrounded by Han battle flags, which are majestic and magnificent.
On one side of the flag is written: Hussar General Huo.
On the other side, it corresponds to the official position: Da Hanlang Zhongling Huo!
There are also small and medium-sized warships such as Xiandeng, Ship, Chima, and Scout on the left and right sides of the main ship, which can be described as an aircraft carrier battle group in the Han Dynasty, and its momentum is mighty.
Liu Qing had never been on a boat before, and he was full of interest.
At this time, the couple was on the top floor of the ship, sitting by the window.
Huo Qubing went south from Shu County, and the tribes and counties along the way were greatly shaken and extraordinarily regular.
I heard that this champion Hou wiped out the enemy country with a disagreement, captured millions of prisoners, and intimidated the world.
Along the way, there are Nanyi small clans, with less than 10,000 soldiers, and everyone is shocked.
On the ship, in the top cabin, the floor is covered with soft animal skin blankets.
The morning sun shines in and is warm.
Liu Qing was dressed in a white-pink cross-collar brocade skirt, leaning on Huo Quai's arms, looking at the scenery of the retreating scenery on both sides of the strait.
On the shore, an old farmer returned from collecting firewood, and the hill-like firewood was piled on the back of a black ox, one person and one ox, walking leisurely. On the nearby tree, birds peck and sometimes bow their heads to comb their feathers on their abdomen.
Huo Quzhi's hand was on Liu Qing's increasingly bulging belly, and the touch was as delicate as fat jade.
"Husband, you're going to get off the boat, aren't you?" Liu Qingdao.
"Well, you're pregnant, don't run around with me, you can be more comfortable on the boat."
Huo Quzhi seriously explained: "I will go to South Vietnam instead, otherwise I will use troops later, and South Vietnam will be behind me, and it will be difficult to rest assured." Two days at most will come back to join you, and we will go to see the sea.
There are 2,000 soldiers and horses in the accompanying fleet, and there will be no problem to keep you safe. β
Liu Qing closed his eyes as bright as stars, and said lightly: "The wife of the champion Hou, who dares to disturb my safety." Besides, I'm not weak and can't help it, not to mention that there is still a teacher. β
The big cat squatting at the window hurriedly raised his paws, indicating that Huo Qu was sick and went out, and he would protect the heroine.
The fat tiger on the other side saw the big cat raise its claws, and also raised its fat claws to make up the numbers.
Liu Qing smiled and said: "I see that in the places I have passed through in the past two days, some tribes want to come on the boat to meet them, but you have refused them twice, knowing that they are not welcomed, and no one dares to approach even the coastal docks."
It is said that the reputation of our Huo Hou Ye can wake up the officials of the surrounding counties in the middle of the night. β
Huo Quzhi said: "Those who can be woken up by me must be corrupt officials who have done bad things, and I will find Zhang Tang to interrogate them when I turn around." β
"You can take all the soldiers and horses with you, the reality of Nanyue is unknown, you should bring more men and horses." Liu Qing said.
"The untrustworthiness of South Vietnam is tiresome, but there is no need to bring so many soldiers and horses."
When Huo Qubing was seven or eight years old, he saw the emperor check the territory map and pointed out that the land of Baiyue relied on geographical advantages, rebelled repeatedly, wavered, and had a lot of disobedience.
At that time, Huo Quzhi had the ambition to sweep down Nanyi.
Wow!
On the shore, there was the sound of horses roaring as loud as a dragon.
It doesn't like to ride on a boat, and it doesn't feel like it can spread its hooves on the boat. And Fulu Zhi and Zhao Anji did not board the ship, and commanded the troops and horses along the coast, and by the way, they practiced the army's ability to run long distances.
Jin'an has been following the generals of the Fulu branch and other subordinates, running wildly on the shore.
It had to urge Huo Qubing several times a day, so that Huo Qubing could land ashore and ride it to fight.
This thing doesn't kick people and horses for a day, and its hooves are itchy.
"Qing'er, I'll go." Huo Qu got up and said.
"Hmm." Liu Qing pursed his lips.
When she came to the window, Huo Qubing had already stepped into the air, crossed the long river, and landed on the back of Jin'an on the bank.
In the long hissing of Jin'an, he raised his front hooves, and Huo Qu's illness was scarlet and fluttering like a cloud.
When he turned the horse's head, the muscles of Jin'an's hind legs tensed, and his hooves kicked on the ground, blasting two shallow pits, and in an instant he disappeared into the sparse forest beside the shore.
The soldiers and horses of the Han army waiting not far away roared like thunder, riding with each other.
On the boat, at another window, Zhuo Qingke was also watching Huo Qubing who was leaving, and was a little envious of Bai Nanyu and the maid Xiong San, who had cultivation and could follow Huo Qubing to conquer the Quartet together.
ββββ
The capital of Nanyue was named Panyu, which was the vast land of later generations.
The current ruler of Nanyue is called Zhao Yingqi, in his early forties, the son of Zhao Yuan, the king of Nanyue, and the third monarch of Nanyue.
Zhao Yingqi also went to Chang'an as a guard in his early years.
The reason was that at that time, another major tribe of Baiyue attacked South Vietnam, and South Vietnam asked the Han to send troops to help.
After the victory, the emperor asked his father Zhao Yuan to go to Chang'an to meet him.
Zhao Wei had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to go, because he didn't want to be obedient, and he thought that if I went, you left me or killed me, who would I talk to.
So Zhao Wei didn't come by himself, but he sent his son Zhao Yingqi to Chang'an, which was considered a hostage.
Zhao Yingqi stayed in Chang'an for 12 years, and when Zhao Yuan was seriously ill, he asked Emperor Wu for his life, saying let me go back, I am the eldest son to inherit the throne, and when I take charge of Nanyue, I will be loyal to you, after all, I have been in Chang'an for many years, I admire the Han, and I have a family here, and my wife is also Han.
The emperor also pondered that it would be better to use an acquaintance as the lord of Nanyue.
What's more, Zhao Yingqi married a wife and had children in Chang'an, and the main room was indeed a Han girl.
So he allowed him to return to the kingdom and inherit the throne.
When Zhao Yingqi went back, he was able to successfully ascend the throne and take charge of the Nanyue throne that had been away for more than ten years, but the emperor sent someone to help him suppress the competitors and snatch it.
This time, Huo Qu's illness and the defeat of Dawan, the achievements of the Dayue clan, the emperor spread to the world.
Zhao Yingqi was greatly surprised, weighed it for a few days, and felt that it was better to surrender sincerely, otherwise what he promised the emperor at the beginning was not done, and when he came back, he would have to take Nanyue to attack.
He had seen it in the early years of Na Huo Qu's illness, and he had no eyes to spare, and he was a thorn.
At that time, Huo Qubing was more than ten years old, Zhao Yingqi was in his thirties, and he worked as a guard in Chang'an.
However, Zhao Yingqi wanted to surrender to Han, and the domestic resistance in South Vietnam was very large.
Including his wife in Chang'an, he considered his son Zhao Xing, and was afraid that after the complete surrender of the Han Dynasty, his son's position as the head of the country would be gone, so he tried his best to obstruct it.
In addition, Lu Jia, the minister of South Vietnam, and others were bitter and tried their best to dissuade them.
Zhao Yingqi had already set off from South Vietnam, and on the way to Chang'an to surrender, he regretted returning to the capital of South Vietnam, saying that he was not sick and planned to think about it.
This is the afternoon of the next day after Huo Quai's departure from the ship, the main hall of the Nanyue Palace.
Zhao Yingqi has a thin and long face, black hair, a bun on the top of his head, a Nanyue royal robe, and a jade belt around his waist, and is listening to the report of Minister Lu Jia:
"Hou of the Han Dynasty went south out of Chang'an, and received news that he took a building boat, merged into the Yanjiang River through Shu County, and went south in a straight line, and the speed of travel was very fast. The minister judged that they might come to our South Vietnam.
If he really came, he didn't tell me about South Vietnam in advance, I am afraid that he came with bad intentions.
Counting the itinerary, they can reach it in about four or five days. β
LΓΌ Jia was a veteran of the South Vietnamese Dynasty and held a high position.
All the Lu clans intermarried with the royal family, which shows their status.
Lu Jia's cheeks were emaciated, and he was nearly sixty.
He started from Zhao Yingqi's father, served as the minister of state in South Vietnam, and most of the surrounding Baiyue tribes were also closely connected.
If it is according to the historical line, Lu Jia will become the Taifu of Nanyue in the future.
After Zhao Yingqi's death, Queen Hu felt that Lu Jia was eyeing him and wanted to return to the Han Dynasty to seek stability and save the lives of himself and his son Zhao Xing.
After being discovered by Lu Jia, he used the excuse of abolishing the newly enthroned lord Zhao Xing, killing the Han clan and the Han envoy, and supporting Zhao Yingqi's eldest son Zhao Jiande, who was married to a local woman before going to Chang'an, to succeed to the throne and declare his independence from the Han Dynasty.
Lu Jia didn't want to return to Han because returning to Han would be returned to power. The glory and wealth of his Lu clan are gone, and his years of business in South Vietnam are gone.
Therefore, he has always been firmly opposed to returning to Han.
At this time, Zhao Yingqi, the lord of South Vietnam, was surprised when he heard that Huo Qu's illness was coming:
"I knew Huo Qu when he was young, and he was not a good person. In the past two years, the emperor of the Han Dynasty let him out to fight, and it was really a tiger that saw blood and wanted to eat people. β
Lu Jia smiled: "Don't panic. No matter how powerful he is, he can't reach the head of my South Vietnam.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been many famous generals, who can really beat my South Vietnam? The soldiers and horses of the Central Plains came to the south, even if they could take advantage of it for a while, it would be difficult to help us.
This is a natural geographical advantage, and Huo Qu's illness is a bit of a soldier, and we are not afraid of him.
When he came to my South Vietnam, as long as the lord of the country gave an order, the minister could let him know that this was not Chang'an, let alone a place for him to show off his prestige. β
Zhao Yingqi frowned and said: "Lu Xiang's words are inappropriate, that Huo Qu just defeated the Dayue Clan not long before his illness, and he defeated tens of thousands of enemies in three days. If he really wants to use force, I will be his opponent in South Vietnam. β
Lu Jia said firmly: "It is true that he can defeat the Dayue Clan, but he will break the country in three days...... Most of them are a means of deterring all parties, and only the lord of the country will believe in him if he has a good heart. β
Standing next to Zhao Yingqi was the eldest son Zhao Jiande, twenty-three years old, tall and thin, with sunken eye sockets.
He and Lu Jia have always been in the same camp, and said: "What Lu Xiang said is right, in my South Vietnam, why should my father be afraid of him as a Han marquis?"
If the champion Hou comes, Lu Xiang and I will be responsible for dealing with it. β
Lu Jiahu said: "If the lord of the country is really jealous of the champion Hou, after he comes, we will first use a means to try his intentions." If he really has bad intentions, we will strike first and control him unprepared. β
Lu Jia's voice fell, and he suddenly heard a chuckle outside the hall: "You want to calculate the Hou Ye."
Hou Ye swept the world, the Huns fought, the Dayue clan fought, and more than 30 countries in the Western Regions were attached and did not dare to move. When you arrived in Nanyue, before the Hou Ye used force, you dared to get together to discuss how to calculate the Hou Ye.
Hou Ye's soldiers and horses are outside the city, and they will come in a blink of an eye, and I will see how you and others deal with themselves. β
Lu Jia was taken aback, and said violently: "Where did the madman come from, dare to break into my Nanyue Palace." β
He was surprised in his heart, this person said that the champion Hou was outside the city?
According to the itinerary, how can it come so quickly?
Lu Jia shouted: "Guards, there are assassins, take it." β
But seeing that the surroundings were quiet, there was no trace of the voice after speaking, and the South Vietnamese Forbidden Army thoroughly investigated the inside and outside, but found nothing.
Someone was able to sneak into the palace, and the lord of the country, Zhao Yingqi, exclaimed:
He said that the champion Hou was just outside the city...... The conversation we just had was overheard, and if it was reported to the champion, the king...... How to deal with it? β
"Father Wang Hugh listened to his nonsense, this is the capital of my Nanyue, and there are other cities on the periphery to protect it, how can any soldiers and horses come to the outside of the royal capital, and we don't know?"
Zhao Jiande said: "Believe it, wait for the child to go out and have a look." β
Bang!
Not long after Zhao Jiande walked out of the hall, he heard a loud bang, followed by a deafening sound of horses' hooves.
When Zhao Jiande quickened his pace and came to the wall of the royal city to look out, a group of soldiers and horses had already approached and rushed outside the royal city.
Click!
Several men in front of the group jumped at the same time, broke away from their horses, and went to bombard the main entrance of the palace.
"Quick, release the arrow!" Zhao Jiande shouted.
