Chapter 191 Huo Guang kills the robbery
Huo Guang has been stationed in Fanyu City for three days, and has been extremely calm for the past three days. Lu Bode has led his army to chase Hainan Island, and Shangguan Jie has brought nearly 50,000 South Vietnamese soldiers outside Sihui City for reorganization. Even the troops of Qilan and He Yi in the west are still attacking each other but no one can do anything to each other. The same is true for Dongyue in the east. Yu Shan's East Vietnamese army guards three passes, and Yang Pu and Zhu Maichen's army has been scolding in front of the pass all day long, but has not attacked the city for a long time. It seems that the entire south will usher in a new year in such a stalemate.
The only difference from these places is perhaps Chang'an City thousands of miles away and Guangxin City in the heart of Nanyue. The battle between the Prime Minister's Office and the Censorate in Chang'an City is in full swing. There are big and small disputes at the court meetings every day. In recent days, Emperor Wu of Han finally couldn't bear it and announced that the court meeting would be restored once every half a month. It was exactly the same sentence that he was not upset. Guangxin City sent a large number of spies, and a large number of news was secretly sent from Fan Yu to Guangxin every day. However, these news were not seen by Zhao Guang, the King of Cangwu, but Zhao Yinhua, the Lord of Cangwu.
Originally, the title of the Master of the Manchu was only owned by the princes. Logically speaking, Zhao Yinhua should not have this title, but Zhao Guang loved this granddaughter so much and forced her title of the Master of the Manchu. I guess if Zhao Yinhua was a man, Zhao Guang would probably have made her the title of the King's Grandson.
Zhao Yinhua looked at the messages that were constantly coming back in the study, sometimes frowned and sometimes smiled, but the tired look on her face meant that she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
"Yinhua, it's time to rest. You can't last long!" Zhao Guang walked into Zhao Yinhua's room alone with his cane. Looking at his increasingly haggard granddaughter, the high-powered old man also showed deep concern on his face.
"Grandpa Yinhua is fine. I feel uneasy when I see Huo Guang's destruction! You see, Huo Guang is stupid enough. He actually sent his right-hand man Lu Bode and Shangguan Jie, leaving only five thousand soldiers around him. He really thought Panyu City would be taken down so easily? Grandpa, Yinhua probably won't be buried in Panyu in a few days." Zhao Yinhua raised the letter in his hand and said with excitement and pride.
"Yinhua, tell grandpa honestly, what do you think of Huo Guang?" Zhao Guang sat next to Zhao Yinhua with a cane and asked with a solemn expression.
"He? Isn't he just an arrogant maniac, a butcher who kills people like a terrible person!" Zhao Yinhua said without hesitation.
Zhao Guang stared at Zhao Yinhua's eyes, but his turbid eyes revealed a wise and insightful light. Zhao Yinhua's eyes dodged and said, "Yinhua, you are the one who is raised by grandpa. No one in this world knows you better than grandpa. Can you believe your answer just now? Will Huo Guang know the flaws you can see, then?"
"Grandpa, isn't it less than ten days? We haven't completely lost yet. Should we cooperate with Lu Jia? Panyu is now empty, and it's not difficult for our troops to take Panyu!" Zhao Yinhua lowered his head in a little frustrated, but said unwillingly.
Zhao Guang shook his head helplessly and said with a sigh: "You may not have felt that when Huo Guang left that day, he had already noticed your little thoughts, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't even leave a single ear and ear in Guangxin, nor did he urge us to submit a letter of surrender. He was also waiting for us to surrender voluntarily. If our army moves at this time, then tens of thousands of Han troops in Lishui Pass can reach Guangxin City in a short while. In fact, since Huo Guang entered Nanyue, even his move to massacre the city has a profound meaning. But even grandpa can't guess the real reason!"
"Actually, my granddaughter also suspected that Huo Guang revealed that his shortcomings were to lure Lu Jia to attack and then completely eliminate the hidden dangers. Otherwise, let us notify Lu Jia and tell him not to do it first?" Zhao Yinhua said hesitantly. Although she was willful, she knew that the consequences of some things were not something she could bear.
"Don't, this is an open conspiracy! Even Lu Jia has to take action at this time, because this is the best and last chance for Lu Jia to give up the book. Huo Guang has not left us with much time to hesitate!" Zhao Guang quickly denied Zhao Yinhua's idea, and finally asked Zhao Yinhua to prepare for the book.
"No, grandpa, please let your granddaughter wait a little longer. I don't believe that Huo Guang can really escape the killing of Lu Jia with just 5,000 people. As grandpa said, Lu Jia must do his best this time." Zhao Yinhua suddenly said with a firm expression. Zhao Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that his granddaughter was still so stubborn. Perhaps he really pampered this granddaughter too much.
"Oh! It's all my fault that my grandfather has been too doting on you since he was a child. Grandpa can promise you, but if this matter fails, you must agree to go to Chang'an Imperial College for three years." Zhao Guang finally had no heart to refuse his granddaughter's request, but he added a condition to this request.
"Okay, that's the only thing!" Zhao Yinhua said cheerfully, as happy as a child asking for his beloved toy. Looking at Zhao Yinhua's bright smile, Zhao Guang also showed a kind smile and reached out to touch Zhao Yinhua's head. However, when Zhao Yinhua couldn't detect it, Zhao Guang's face showed helplessness and reluctance.
On that day, Huo Guang went south from Chang'an and it was still early summer, but now it has already reached late autumn without realizing it. Although there is no coolness in late autumn in Nanyue, the bleakness of autumn remains unabated.
In the past few days, a large number of carriages in Fanyu City were busy. It is said that these carriages were used by Huo Guang to transport gold and silver treasures from the Nanyue Palace. A large number of carriages have been busy for nearly three days. No one expected that there would be so many treasures in the Nanyue Palace.
In the Nanyue Royal Palace, Huo Guang stood in a garden and picked a yellowed leaf casually. Huo Tang stood behind Huo Guang in a lilac dress, making him look more beautiful and charming against the beautiful scenery of the palace.
"Sister Tang, are everything arranged?" Huo Guang asked, looking at the yellowed tree in his hand.
"All arrangements have been made. Fan Yu has been calm these days. But the younger sister is still a little worried about Zhao Guang's place. You shouldn't be so risky!" Huo Tang nodded and replied, but then he looked a little worried.
"Although that child named Zhao Yinhua is a bit willful, Zhao Guang is a smart person. Some things are not enough for the child to make decisions. As for taking risks... Tang Mei, you are not afraid. How can I, a brother, be afraid?" Huo Guang said with his back to Huo Tang. In his eyes, Zhao Yinhua, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, is just a child. Although he is extremely intelligent, he has developed a willful personality because of Zhao Guang's spoiling.
"If I were not by your side, those people would definitely be suspicious. This time, the Lord just wanted to drive me away, but I couldn't do it!" Huo Tang smiled. She liked the feeling that she could become Huo Guang's shadow. As long as there is Huo Guang, she will definitely appear.
Huo Guang turned around and smiled knowingly at Huo Tang. Then he pinched the yellow leaves in his hand and threw them on the ground. He seemed to have inadvertently glanced at the palace corridor in the distance and sighed: "It's just a pity that this great palace."
After a sigh, Huo Guang stepped out of the palace, and Huo Tang followed closely behind. It was still several feet after the two of them walked out that the personal guards quickly followed.
"I'm sending an order. Today, the Japanese lord is going to the camp in the west of the city to reward the three armies, bring the palace wine to the soldiers and get drunk together!" Huo Guang's voice came from the air.
Just as Huo Guang went to the camp in the west of the city, a bird with bright fur and very spiritual appearance also flew up from Fanyu City. When the sky became darker, Huo Guang returned to the Nanyue Palace drunkenly, the bird had already flew hundreds of miles and finally landed in front of Zhao Yinhua's study.
Zhao Yinhua fed the bird a few small beans, then took a bamboo tube from the bird's legs and poured out a rolled letter from it. Looking at the words on the letter, Zhao Yinhua's brows gradually stretched. When he saw Huo Guang going to the military camp to reward the army with the palace wine, Zhao Yinhua almost laughed out loud.
"Huh? It's windy... I guess the wind in Fanyu City should be even stronger at this moment!" Zhao Yinhua looked at the treetops swaying in the wind outside the window, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. In her opinion, Huo Guang's actions today would definitely make Lu Jia take action. Perhaps Huo Guang is doomed today.
Just as Zhao Yinhua thought, there was indeed a strong wind blowing in Fanyu City at night, and the sound of the wind blew and made the windows bang. The people of Fanyu City had no other sound in their ears except for the sound of wind and impact. However, no matter where Fanyu was, they all saw the fire in the middle of the city soaring into the sky. The fire illuminated the sky, illuminating Fanyu City as if it were daytime!
Outside the Nanyue Palace, Huo Guang was flew with his clothes and thousands of elite soldiers lined up behind him.
"Report, General. All passages on the west side of the palace are closed."
"Report, General, all passages on the south side of the royal palace are closed."
“The north side is all closed…”
"The east side is all closed..."
Military soldiers kept coming to Huo Guang to report, but looking at the raging fire that was getting stronger and stronger, no one asked to put out the fire.
"Your Majesty, tonight's fire is taking advantage of the wind, plus the firewood and the things we piled up in advance, the entire palace has turned into a sea of fire. I believe those people have no way to heaven and no way to the earth at this moment!" Huo Tang said with satisfaction, looking at the Nanyue Palace, which has completely turned into a sea of fire, she actually showed a smug smile on her face.
There were birds sending letters falling in Guangxin City. Zhao Yinhua looked at the messages from Fanyu, and at first everything was as she expected. Just as Huo Guang returned to the palace drunk, those Lu Jia, who had already been hiding and ambushed in Fanyu City, launched an attack on the palace together with the palace at the same time, and these people were more than two thousand.
Seeing this news, Zhao Yinhua was excitedly paced around the house, wishing to fly to Fanyu immediately to see Huo Guang's miserable end.
"What happy thing did Yinhua encounter?" At this moment, Zhao Guang came to Zhao Yinhua's study again.
"Grandpa, Huo Guangwan..." Just when Zhao Yinhua wanted to tell Zhao Guang about Huo Guang, a bird delivering a letter appeared again on the study window.
Zhao Yinhua didn't care about it and went to take off the letter. When she saw the content on the letter, her expression, which was originally cheerful, suddenly became stiff. Then she looked in disbelief, and then she became absent-minded, just repeating: "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
