Chapter 224 The Endless Territory

With the help of the river flooding in midsummer, the water flooded and killed hundreds of thousands of people without a single soldier. From a tactical perspective alone, Song Ruozan's move is a classic.

The sudden arrival of this news made Huo Guang and Dongfang Shuo look at each other subconsciously, and both of them saw deep concerns. The wise man from the alien race who had always made them uneasy was probably the Qiang people, Dalun, who was so popular.

The needles fell in the entire lobby. As soon as the Qiang army crossed Longdi, they could reach Youfufeng with a flat horse. At that time, there would be no barrier in Chang'an. At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Huo Guang and waited for him to deploy.

"Haha...haha... this time we have met a real opponent. Mr. Dongfang, how dare you fight Song Ruozan, this Qiang man?" Suddenly Huo Guang laughed loudly, but even though he smiled unruly, the murderous intent on his body became more and more obvious.

"Extremely anticipated!" Dongfang Shuo bowed his hand and said to Huo Guang, answering only four simple words. Dongfang Shuo's face also had a faint smile, but anyone could see that he was extremely serious at this moment.

"Okay, Dongfang Shuo obeys the order." Huo Guang restrained his smile and said with an extremely serious face.

"I'm here," Dongfang Shuo bowed again.

"There is an idle pass here in Longdi. I ordered Dongfang Shuo to lead 20,000 elite troops to garrison here. Your mission is to hold it for at least forty days. If you lose this place, there will be no barrier in Chang'an..." Huo Guang stretched out his hand and landed at the intersection of Longxi and Youfufeng. This place was blocked by a mountain range. There was a pass here in the pre-Qin period. Later, the Han Dynasty unified the world, and this place gradually became abandoned. Now Huo Guang wants Dongfang Shuo to defend this place, and at least block Du Songruozan for forty days.

"Essent subordinates receive the order. Even if they fight to the last army and soldiers, they will not ask the Qiang people to cross Longdi." Dongfang Shuo received the order again. Although he was a civil servant, he also had the passion of putting life and death and mercy.

No matter how he defeated the Qiang people, at least he could not allow the Qiang people to enter the capital. In Huo Guang's eyes, only Dongfang Shuo could barely block Du Songruozan. However, Huo Guang had more important things to complete, so he could only hand over this difficult and most important task to Dongfang Shuo.

Perhaps Huo Guang also had some expectations in his heart that Dongfang Shuo, who was later called the wise saint of wisdom, would deal with the Qiang man who had five times his military strength. Perhaps the most intense and exciting part of the Han Empire in the past century will occur between these two wise men...

"Sister Tang, please return to Chang'an immediately and order Du Yannian to summon the young and strong lands in the capital, and form an army to Longdi Pass as soon as possible to assist in guarding the pass. In addition, tell the general to transport all the bows and crossbows of the Chang'an arsenal to Longdi Pass." Huo Guang continued to issue the next order. Now that he has Huang Yue, the order he issued is only second only to Emperor Wu of Han, and in a legal sense, he is almost at the same level as the order of the prince who supervises the country, so it is not wrong to directly command Chang'an's dispatch.

"Lu Shu, prepare winter clothes and bedding as quickly as possible immediately, prepare at least 5,000 sets, how long does it take to get the fastest?" Huo Guang continued to order. At this time, he did not politely call Lu Shu Wanguanhou, but called him his name directly, and could feel the urgency of time in his tone.

"I try to prepare it within three days..." Lu Shu couldn't take out the five thousand sets of winter clothes and bedding, but it was the fastest distance from Chang'an. This was the case of light riding and simple riding. If the time required to transport the goods was longer, he could only grit his teeth and say that he could do as much as possible.

"It's not as much as possible... I must see these things transported into Fuping City within three days, so go and do it now." Huo Guang is not a strict master, but in this war racing against time, every hour and every quarter of an hour may affect the final outcome of the war, so Huo Guang can only give a death order.

Lu Shu didn't argue anything, but just clasped his fists and said "No" resolutely, then turned around and ran out of the county government.

As Huo Guang issued orders one by one, everyone felt an urgent depression.

"Then I will take the lead!" Dongfang Shu also clasped his fists after Lu Shu left.

Although Shangri-ming had become a country within a hundred miles of radius, this lethality was naturally terrifying, but the muddy ground also restricted the movement of the Qiang cavalry, so the army of Song Ruozan and Mangbrouzhi were also trapped west of Shangri-ming in a short period of time, but Dongfang Shuo still felt uneasy when he did not reach Long Di.

"It all depends on sir!" Huo Guang said with a heavy fist at Dongfang Shuo. This was trust in Dongfang Shuo, and it was also a kind of entrustment, just like Huo Guang entrusted Hanoi County to Dongfang Shuo back then.

Dongfang Shuo didn't say anything, just nodded gently, then calmly turned around and walked out of the county government. Seeing Dongfang Shuo's still graceful back, everyone's heart was not relaxed. It can be said that in the next forty days, no one would face any greater pressure.

"Sister Tang, immediately drafted an edict in the name of the Emperor of Han, sent it to Zhuang Sitong, the lord of Dian Kingdom, promising him as the King of Dian, and granting him the King of Dian, and telling him that the Han Dynasty would protect his family forever to become the King of Dian. The condition was to let him guard the way the Qiang people went south, and if there were any Qiang people entering Yunnan from the snowy area, they would be killed without any regard." After Dongfang Shuo left, Huo Guang looked at the sand table and issued another order.

Today, Dian Wang Zhuang Si is also a descendant of Zhuang Qiao, a general general of Chu in the Warring States Period. When Zhuang Qiao entered Yunnan, he was cut off from his way back by the pre-Qin period, and then jointly established the Dian Kingdom with the indigenous people in the local area. However, this country has never been recognized by the Central Plains dynasty. Now Huo Guang wants to recognize the existence of Dian Kingdom, but the condition is to use the power of Dian Kingdom to block the road to the south.

Huo Tang nodded and said that she had not taken the order like a man. However, the deployment of enthroning the Dian King made everyone, including Huo Tang, unclear. Therefore, the Qiang people are powerful at present and it is impossible to enter the Dian Kingdom through a Jedi like the Snowland. If this happens, it is also the final plan that the Qiang people have to make when they are in life and death...

From Huo Guang's arrangement to Dongfang Shuo to block Du Songruozan's army, to the enthronement of Dian Wang Zhuang Sitong, it seems that Huo Guang is also laying out a big net...

Until this time, Huo Guang sighed slightly and then stared at Li Ling. This young man who once made Huo Guang not know how to arrange it now has no longer the immatureness of the past. This family that was once prominent in the Han Dynasty, but each could not escape the fate of a miserable ending. Li Guang committed suicide, Li Gan was killed by Huo Qubing, and Li Cai, who was the prime minister, also died. Now, the Li family that was once prominent was only the two brothers Li Ling and Li Yu. If history had not changed, Li Ling and Li Yu would not be able to escape the miserable fate in the end.

"Li Ling obeyed the order." After hesitating for a long time, Huo Guang still called Li Ling's name.

"The last general is here!" Li Ling was very excited. He knew that Huo Guang was going to entrust him with important tasks, but he still tried to calm down on his face.

"I will give you five thousand most elite cavalry, including my former guard camp. Here... your goal is to bypass Longxi and go deep into the heartland of the Qiang people, go to Jishi Mountain to find the royal city of the Qiang king Cangyang Liangyuan, and then... kill him..." Huo Guang's invisible murderous intent condensed and handed over his most elite five thousand people to Li Ling, who actually wanted Li Ling to rush into the plateau thousands of miles to find the Qiang people's royal city to do a beheading operation.

"The last time I will be determined to be unfair." Li Ling's excited hands trembled a little. This task is very arduous, and it can even be said to be a life-threatening death, but as long as this beheading operation is successful, it will surely be a feat that will last forever.

"In addition, your operation is only forty days. No matter what success or failure occurs in forty days, you must go south, enter Dian Kingdom from the edge of the snowy area, and then take a detour back. Remember not to look back..." Huo Guang solemnly instructed, but he made Li Ling's troops unable to turn back, but he also had to take a detour to Dian Kingdom.

"I will write it down." Li Ling and Zheng pointed at it. He knew that Huo Guang said this naturally made sense, and it was a military order. Not to mention that Huo Guang asked them to cross the edge of the snowy land, even if they were asked to commit suicide in the Qiang royal city, they had to act according to the order.

"Three days later, you can set off again when Lu Shu's things arrive. Let the brothers indulge in these three days. In addition, I can promise you in advance that no matter the success or failure of this mission, all brothers participating in the operation will be awarded the third level, and I will give you five thousand golds in private." Huo Guang asked Lu Shu to prepare for Li Ling's team of 5,000 people. It was so cold that it might freeze even in midsummer nights. He also knew that very few of the 5,000 people brought by Li Ling could come back, and even all of them could be ruined by the snow, so he was particularly generous to this team that was equivalent to dying.

"Thank you, my brothers, thank you, Marquis!" Li Ling was both excited and moved, and he didn't feel any fear of the death he might face at this moment. The third level of entry allowed at least the descendants of these 5,000 people to worry about, and one gold per person is enough for ordinary people to spend most of their lives.

"Go down." Huo Guang waved his hand and signaled Li Ling to retreat. The next three days may be the last leisure time for Li Ling and the five thousand elites.

After Li Ling retreated, Huo Guang retreated from all the people in the hall, leaving only Shangguan Jie and Huo Tang. After this deployment, Huo Guang was left with only five thousand troops.

"Mr. Marquis, where are we fighting for these 5,000 people? As long as the Marquis gives the order, Daoshanhuohai will never frown." Seeing that everyone had left, Shangguan Jie knew that the next step would be the most critical part of Huo Guang's layout.

He was glad that Huo Guang left him, which showed that Huo Guang was the one who relied most. He also looked forward to it. Now everyone knows that this war between the Han Dynasty and the two major alien races was a real battle of life and death. Even if he died in this war, Shangguan Jie felt that his life was worth it.

This is the true mentality of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the best times. Even if they face great difficulties and obstacles, they will never regret even if they die...

"Just follow me. We are really going to go to the sea of ​​fire this time! Sister Tang, have you brought the things?" Huo Guang showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and then turned to look at Huo Tang and asked.

"As the marquis' orders, Is the marquis really going to..." In connection with Huo Guang's previous arrangements, and when he thought of Huo Guang's special mention of what he brought in the letter, a terrifying plan that Huo Tang dared not imagine was slowly revealed.

"That's right... let's turn the Qiang people's thousands of miles of grassland into a world of territories..." Huo Guang's low voice seemed a little excited, and a cruel smile appeared on his face at the same time.

When he learned that Du Songruozan was flooded with water, Huo Guang remembered a thought that flashed in his mind when he was explaining the sand table in the Imperial Academy cadre class. However, he quickly suppressed this terrifying idea. However, this time he had to use this plan!

"Girl Tang, go back, Chang'an has a lot of things to do. In addition... If I don't come back, I will assist Xian'er in the future..." Huo Guang reached out and gently stroked Huo Tang's hair in his ears, and said the last sentence in a gentle tone. Then, Huo Tang, who was still in a daze, took Shangguan Jie out of the county hall lobby.
