After receiving the order, Huo Guang left the General's Mansion with the people in the palace, and rode a big black horse all the way to the Nanda Camp.

Now.

The soldiers and horses of the first army assigned to Huo Guang in the Nanda camp have already lined up and are welcoming Huo Guang's arrival.

The first army of the Han Dynasty had a strength of about 5,000 people.

When Huo Guang arrived, the 5,000 soldiers burst out into a mountain of shouts: "Welcome to the general of the chariot!" ”

Huo Guang frowned slightly, not knowing what to say.

Then.

The eunuch from the palace said to Huo Guang: "Marquis Bolu, are you still satisfied with this pomp?" ”

"Hmm"

Huo Guang snorted from his throat, not even bothering to open his mouth.

Hearing Huo Guang's snort, the eunuch from the palace immediately said, "Since Bo Luhou is satisfied, please put on the general's armor, right?" ”

After speaking.

The eunuch gave the person behind him a look.

Forthwith.

The exclusive armor of the general was brought up.

Huo Guang nodded, and then walked to the camp tent and changed his armor.

After coming out.

The eunuch immediately patted his ass and said, "Eh, Bo Luhou is really majestic when he wears this armor, and he has the demeanor of a hussar general." ”

Charm

The corners of Huo Guang's mouth twitched, and then said, "What else do you have to do next?" ”

The eunuch said this time: "Bo Luhou, it's time to order!" ”

said.

The eunuch took out a wooden card and said to Huo Guang: "These are all good captains of the Nanda Battalion, whoever Bo Luhou wants, just order him!" ”

The lieutenant is actually the lieutenant.

However, the lieutenant is a little more free than the lieutenant.

Huo Guang casually ordered four lieutenants, and the last place was reserved for Lin Yaoqing.

But the problem is.

Huo Guang didn't see Lin Yaoqing's name on the roster, so he asked, "I want to order a captain, why is there no name on it?" ”

When the eunuch heard this, he said, "Bo Luhou said who it is, and I will check it for you." ”

"Captain Lin Yaoqing!"

Hearing Huo Guang's words, the eunuch nodded.

Forthwith.

The people under him went to check, and soon, the other party came back and said: "Report to Bo Luhou, Lin Yaoqing is the deputy lieutenant and is not on the roster." ”

"Lieutenant?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ben Hou directly promoted him to lieutenant, do you think it's okay?" ”

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately replied, "You can." ”

Forthwith.

Lin Yaoqing was brought over.

Huo Guang glanced at Lin Yaoqing, nodded to him, and then began to inspect the five thousand soldiers on the school ground.

Among these soldiers.

Half of them are veterans of the Battle of Mobei.

The other half were newly recruited soldiers.

on this.

Huo Guang is still quite satisfied.

After doing this, Huo Guang and the 5,000 soldiers under his management had a preliminary understanding of each other. Subsequently, without too much delay, he directly set off from Nandaying and set off towards Xiliang.

Xiliang.

Also known as Liangzhou.

It was the ancient name of Yongzhou that was changed, as for the person who changed its name.

There is no doubt that it is the current Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che. Almost eight or nine years ago, in 126 AD, it was changed to Liangzhou.

Why did you change the name to Liangzhou?

It is said that among the five elements, Yongzhou belongs to the location of Jinxing, and the land is cold, so it was renamed Liangzhou.

The location of this land belongs to Hexi.

At the beginning, the Huns had been involved in Liangzhou many times.

But.

His wise and martial brother Huo Quai, won two great victories in the Battle of Hexi, so that the Huns had not touched this land for many years.

The army set out from Nandaying and headed for Liangzhou.

Because it was a march to the west of the city.

On the way, I just passed the industrial park of Huoguang Paper, and then stopped. The army continued to advance, and he rode to the horse farm.

Dong Xun is still in charge of guarding the horse farm here.

After the two met.

Huo Guang jumped off the big black horse, looking at Dong Xun's gradually growing face, Huo Guang smiled and said, "Are you tired?" ”

Dong Xun shook his head, and then asked, "Your armor?" ”

"Armor?" Huo Guang glanced down at himself, then stretched out his arms, showed them to Dong Xun, and asked, "Do you look at my handsome cavalry general's armor?" ”

Dong Xun frowned and said, "What does handsome mean?" ”

"Forehead is majestic, and it means to look at the combination of the two." Huo Guang said lightly.

At this time.

Dong Xun nodded, looked up at Huo Guang, and said, "Huo Guang, I haven't seen you for a while, you have grown so tall, you are a head taller." ”

"Woohoo."

"Why don't I grow long!"

Looking at Dong Xun's pitiful little appearance, Huo Guang touched her hair with his hand and said, "You are not short among girls, you are tall." ”

Dong Xun's height is estimated to be about 1.65 meters.

And Huo Guang's height is already one meter eight.

According to the Western Han Dynasty, it should be more than eight feet tall. Now Huo Guang is only fifteen years old, and if he continues to grow taller in the future, he may be able to reach more than nine feet, the same height as Confucius.

But.

Some people have passed the period of rapid growth, and then they do not grow long.

Huo Guang didn't know if he would grow taller after he was fifteen years old.

Dong Xun shook his head and said, "I hate it, I messed up people's hair again." I'm not a puppy, what are you doing touching my head all the time? ”

Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, don't say more, I'm going to leave with the army." ”

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Dong Xun had a touch of loss in his eyes and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"There is some turmoil in Liangzhou, which may be due to the influence of the Xiongnu, or it may be caused by the drought in the past few years, and thieves are rampant. Your Majesty appointed me as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and led an army of soldiers and horses to pacify them. Huo Guang explained.

The words fell.

And he got on his horse again.

Then.

Dong Xun walked up to the big black horse, straightened the handful of smooth and shiny hair on its head, and said, "Big black, you must bring Huo Guang'an back!" ”

Huo Guang rode on the horse, stepped on the stirrups, leaned down, approached Dong Xun, and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Nizi, you are wrong, it should be General Ben who rode it back safely." ”

"Hahaha."

"Gone!"

The words fell.

Huo Guang rode away, leaving Dong Xun with a handsome horseback on horseback.

Soon.

He then made peace with the marching troops in front of him, and since the five thousand men were infantry, the march was not very fast.

In the battle of Mobei, tens of thousands of horses in the southern battalion were lost in the charge of the Hun cavalry.

That war.

The most serious thing is not the loss of soldiers, but the hard-earned war horses, which have lost two-thirds.

This made it difficult for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Xiongnu in the later period, and it was difficult to do the same as in the Battle of Mobei, with a sufficient number of war horses.

Now Huo Guang led the troops of the first army of the Nanda Battalion to Liangzhou to exterminate the Liukou, not to deal with those Hun cavalry. Therefore, the court allocated only infantry to itself.

Chang'an and Liangzhou are not too far apart, and in one day's effort, the army has already marched to Anding County, and then entered Wuwei County from Anding County, and rested here for a while.

Huo Guang's 5,000 soldiers and horses were the troops sent by the imperial court, and as soon as they entered Liangzhou, they were known by the Taishou of Wuwei County, and they were immediately entertained.

Next.

After resting for the night, Huo Guang wanted to lead the army to advance.

At this time.

The Taishou of Wuwei County informed him that the Liangzhou Assassin came over today, which made Huo Guang continue to lead the army to march without dawn.

If you think of a county as a modern city, a state as a province.

So.

Taishou is equivalent to the mayor, and the assassin is today's high-ranking official.

As soon as the history of the stab arrived.

Huo Guang glanced at him, and asked directly, "You are the Liangzhou Thorn History?" ”

Thorn Shi replied: "Bo Luhou, below is Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Bo!" ”

Being able to sit in the position of the history of thorns means that he is also a person with some wrists.

Huo Guang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked lightly: "Since you are the assassin of Liangzhou, then Ben Hou will not talk in a corner." Let me ask you directly, why is there such a serious turmoil in this Dunhuang County? ”

Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Bo said: "General Huo, I don't want to do anything about what happened in Dunhuang County." ”

"A few years ago, there was a great drought, crops were not harvested, and people were displaced."

"A few years ago, the Huns invaded southward for a long time, not to mention Dunhuang, and even the people of Wuwei County had no fixed residence."

"This people can't live and work in peace and contentment, but if they want to live, they will naturally fall into the grass."

Hear this.

Huo Guang immediately frowned and scolded: "Zhou Tingshi, it doesn't matter if you say what you say in front of me." If it reaches the ears of His Majesty, worry about your head. ”

"Three years ago, there was a great drought, and the imperial court allocated a lot of money."

"That money is enough to keep the people of your state fed. If they have food, why are they still thieves? ”

After listening to Huo Guang's words, the Liangzhou Thorn Shi looked sad and said, "Bo Luhou lives in Chang'an, and he doesn't know anything. ”

"Food prices after the drought, that's getting higher day by day."

"What's more, far water can't quench the thirst of the near."

"The appropriation of the imperial court needs to be approved, the allocation needs to be approved for transportation, the money needs to be approved, and the money in hand needs to be approved."

"When the food is bought and delivered, the drought will be over for the most part."

"How can the people of Liangzhou have so many rations to support the arrival of food later?"

Hearing this, Huo Guang frowned slightly.

He thought.

The so-called approval is not just a game of ball between various departments in modern society, right?

But.

Soon Huo Guang shook his head and said, "Zhou Tingshi, what you said is not quite right, right?" When a drought occurs, when a special event is handled, how can it be difficult everywhere! ”

However, the Liangzhou Thorn Shi shook his head and said: "General, this Thorn Shi didn't say that it was difficult, it was just a special case, and it was approved." ”

"If it's not a special affair."

"I guess I can't approve it."

Huo Guang glanced at Zhou Bo, the assassin of Liangzhou, slightly raised the eyebrows of his left eye, and asked, "With the disaster relief money three years ago, there was no corruption among officials in Liangzhou, right?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bo immediately swore an oath: "This assassin swears to the heavens that there will be no official in my Liangzhou who is greedy for this money with a conscience!" ”

The voice fell.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and soon a violent roar sounded in the sky.

"Boom~"

There was thunder in the sky.

Huo Guang looked at the Liangzhou Thorn History, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and said: "There are so many officials in Liangzhou, even if you have the ability to do it, how can you be sure that none of the officials are greedy for the money?" ”

"And."

"On a rainy day, it's better not to swear nonsense."

When Zhou Bo, the assassin of Liangzhou, heard this, he immediately changed his words: "The officials below have touched the bottom of the assassination, and they really haven't found anything corrupt and bent the law. ”

"Don't talk about those little officials."

"Anyway, the officials haven't done this."

Official, refers to official.

Clerks.

It is those small law enforcement officers who can no longer be small, like some later generations of fast arresters and government officials, all of which belonged to small officials in the Han Dynasty.

Well.

That's right.

Huo Guang's father, Huo Zhongru, is a small official.

These people.

You said that you took an extra bag or two of rice grain, and Huo Guang would believe it.

You say they're greedy? Hehe, what can they be greedy for? They can't even touch the matter of disaster relief money, they are greedy!

In the sky, there was still lightning and thunder.

Huo Guang stretched out his hand to interrupt the chattering history of Liangzhou, and then asked, "Okay, Ben Hou won't ask about money for the time being." ”

"Now, the situation of the thieves in the northwest direction, what do you have to report to me?"

When Zhou Bo heard this, he immediately pulled a person next to him and said, "General, it's good for you to ask Liu Bei, the Taishou of Dunhuang County, about this matter." ”

"Wait, Liu Bei?" Huo Guang's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

When Zhou Bo saw him like this, he immediately said: "Don't misunderstand, general, his surname is Liu, but he has little to do with the royal family." Otherwise, it will not become a bitter cold place like Dunhuang. ”

It's obvious.

Zhou Bo, the assassin of Liangzhou, thought that he had mistaken Dunhuang Taishou for a royal person.

In fact.

Huo Guang had been living in Chang'an before, and the royal surname Liu had already seen a lot, so he wouldn't make such a fuss.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty has seen me I don't know how many times, a surname Liu, even if he is a member of the royal family, will not let Huo Guang look like this.

Mainly for the first time I heard the word Liu Bei.

This has to remind him of a certain imperial uncle in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The Han Dynasty did not have a large population.

But there is one thing that is very interesting, that is, there are too many people with the same name and surname.

In the case of the surname Liu, as far as those princely heirs, I don't know how many have the same name and surname.

Under the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, those princes were busy making people every day.

There are too many man-made, and it is difficult to choose a name, like some unpowerful heirs, basically just take a name casually, and don't bother to check whether other princely heirs have taken this name.

If you cross into Liu Xun, you were born in a poor family and lived a life of exile. The family never tells you about the royal family, do you think that you are the future emperor Xiaoxuan?

No!

Because there are too many princely heirs with the same name and surname as you at the same time.

If you catch King Jing of Zhongshan, that is, Liu Bei's ancestor, you can catch a lot of them.

After figuring this out, Huo Guang no longer bothered about this Liu Bei or Liu Bei's affairs.

Just looking at this Dunhuang County Taishou, Huo Guang was a little curious, so he asked in a deep voice: "Since you are the Dunhuang Taishou, you should stay in Dunhuang County, why did you come to Wuwei County?" ”

Dunhuang County is the origin of the Northwest Troubles.

Because at this time, the Western Regions Protectorate had not yet been attached to the Han Dynasty.

So.

Dunhuang County is undoubtedly the frontier area of the Han Dynasty.

The frontier area is bitter and chaotic.

It is also normal for there to be rogue breeding. But it is precisely because of the turmoil that Dunhuang County is too guarded, and it should be right to sit in Dunhuang, why are you still running around?

Then.

The Taishou of Dunhuang County gave the answer.

"General Huo, Dunhuang County has been lost. The eighteenth road bandits, jointly occupied Dunhuang, I, the Taishou, fled in a panic! (End of chapter)
