Chapter 260 Nine Kings of the Western Regions

The Grand Governor's Office had the power to enfeoff the king, and for a while the world was talking about it. However, Huo Guang was at the peak of his reputation because of disaster relief and the great achievements of seizing the Western Regions. Some negative comments were offset. In the end, they were more concerned about how Huo Guang would use the power to enfeoff the king.

At present, except Shangguan Jie and Li Ling, only Lu Shu has a marquis. Others, whether Dongfang Shuo or Zhao Ponu, have lost their titles.

In the main hall of the Grand Governor's Office, the senior officials of Hexi gathered again. Even the Wu'an commander Bai Zheng and Wusun commander Gao Bushi, who were far away in the Western Regions, were recalled to Dunhuang. Everyone was looking forward to it because everyone knew that it was very likely that Huo Guang would exercise the right to enfeoff the king this time, but no one knew how to enfeoff the king.

"Grandmaster, the three oasis have been basically renovated. The fields have been distributed to meritorious soldiers, or official land has been rented to the people for farming. Now the four counties have a total of 73,564 households and a population of more than 273,500." Du Yannian has already completed the transformation of the three oasis, and now he has returned to Dunhuang to report to Huo Guang the most basic situation of the four counties in Hexi.

In recent years, the population of the four Hexi counties has already doubled several times. And Du Yannian only talked about the number of people, because Huo Guang's Grand Governor's Office separates the general's household registration and household registration. In other words, there are nearly 300,000 people in the four Hexi counties, and the Hexi army has reached 80,000 after development in recent years. This is only the population and army of the four Hexi counties. If the population and army of the Western Regions are added, the population under Huo Guang's rule has exceeded 500,000, and the number of soldiers who can fight has reached 150,000.

"Very good. Now our Grand Governor's Office has some background. Even if we face the Huns or Anxi alone, we can be considered as having the power of a war. What is Sima Qian and Su Wu's current situation?" Huo Guang twisted his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

Dongfang Shuo stood up and bowed, and then replied: "The Grand Historian is now in Wusun area. He listens to the rewards of his subordinates. The Grand Historian is compiling biographies of the Western Regions. According to the itinerary, Su Sicheng should still be in the territory of Anxu."

Sima Qian dived into the Western Regions and was deeply attracted by the long history of the Western Regions. In the past, as the Grand Historian, he was only interested in these things, but now most of the Western Regions have become the territory of the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian felt that recording these disappeared ancient countries was his mission in his life, so he traveled all over the Western Regions. And no one knew how many years would take this time?

Since Huo Guang submitted a letter to Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han took back his position as Minister of Su Wu, and then Huo Guang officially appointed Su Wu as the Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Grand Governor's Office. The plenipotent representative Huo Guang went to the Qin Dynasty to contact Sula, the commander of the Eastern Legion.

Huo Guang nodded to show his understanding, and then slowly stood up. The moment Huo Guang stood up, his highness and others also stood up one after another. Now Huo Guang has a momentum of dominating the world, and every move makes people feel awe.

"Everyone comes with me to see this sand table." Huo Guang said to everyone as he walked towards the sand table on the side of the hall.

Before the sand table, Huo Guang picked up a wooden stick and pointed to the area reclaimed in the lower oasis of Wuwei County. "The population here is already quite large. The governor intends to set up a new county here and build a city called "Cangwu."

"Dongfang Shuo" Huo Guang pointed to the sand table and said his intentions, and then called Dongfang Shuo's name.

"I am here." Dongfang Shuo came out from the crowd and bowed.

"Now, Dongfang Shuo is appointed as the Lord of Cangwu and lead the fiefs of 500 households in Cangwu County. Then you will be responsible for the construction of Cangwu City." Huo Guang turned around and said solemnly to Dongfang Shuo, and unexpectedly conferred Dongfang Shuo as the first vassal under the rule of the Grand Governor's Office.

"I thank the Grand Governor Long!" Dongfang Shuo raised his robe and paid a great greeting to Huo Guang.

"Yi Zhixuan" Huo Guang conferred Dongfang Shuo as Cangwu Jun, but the next person to call him was Yi Zhixuan, the Juyan Duwei.

"I'm here." Yi Jixuan was excited and quickly knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

"This place is located in the southwest of the Western Regions. Then there is Zhendu. There is a city called Lucheng. This governor named you Lucheng Jun. From now on, you will settle in Lucheng and command the surrounding Yuanshache, Xiye, Puli, and Yinai's soldiers. The 300 households in Lucheng Jun are Lucheng Jun's fief." Huo Guang pointed to the southwest of the Western Regions, a place close to Zhonghu, and then named Yi Jixuan as Lucheng Jun. His intention was to defend the southwest of the Western Regions to resist Zhonghu.

"Hao doesn't know."

"I'm here." Huo Guang had just shouted Gao Bushi's name, and he had already knelt down on one knee. At this time, no one knew who Huo Guang called was going to be the king.

"Change the location of Wusun Duwei Mansion to Yancheng, and this governor named you Yancheng Jun and receive 300 households in the fief." Huo Guang appointed Gao Buzhi as Yancheng Jun, and his responsibilities remain unchanged.

"Thank you for your kindness to the Grand Governor Long, I am willing to repay the Grand Governor with death in this life!" Gao Bushi's gratitude to Huo Guang after several ups and downs, and his gratitude to Huo Guang was even more serious than others.

"Bai Zheng." Huo Guang continued to call Bai Zheng's name.

"I'm here." Bai Zheng was slightly stunned and knelt on one knee with disbelief. He never expected that he would have the chance to be enfeoffed. Bai Zheng followed Huo Guang for more than a year, and although he had made a lot of contributions, the time was still short, and even Bai Zheng himself did not have the idea of ​​enfeoffing the lord at first.

"I am the governor named you Wu'an Jun and lead the fief of 300 households in Wu'an City. I ordered you to lead your troops and troops to attack Dayuan with the troops of the Wusun Kingdom. This time you will be the head coach." Huo Guang once again gave the title of Wu'an Jun a hundred years ago to Bai Zheng, and asked him to control the troops of the Wusun Kingdom to attack Dayuan as the head coach.

"Subordinate........, the subordinates only repay the kindness of the Grand Commander!" Bai Zheng wanted to say something, but after a pause, he seemed to find that nothing was enough to express his loyalty. In the end, he could only say that he would like to die to repay his life.

"Haha, I am reluctant to let any of you die, so I will live a good life for me. The road ahead is still long, I am still going to have a lot of things to do!" Huo Guang said to everyone with a big laugh, and his words made the originally serious atmosphere much easier.

At this time, Huo Guang had already conferred four titles, and in addition to Dongfang Shuo, there were three generals, and the three generals were all in the Western Regions.

"Zhao Ponu. Fu Luzhi" Huo Guang continued to shout, but this time he called out the names of two people at the same time.

"I'm here." The two of them came out and knelt down.

"You two build Qilian in the Jiuquan Oasis, Lexu. Zhao Ponu is the king of Qilian, and Remain Luzhi as Lexu, each with 400 households in the fief." Zhao Ponu and Fu Luzhi are now the prefects of Dunhuang and Jiuquan, but Huo Guang still gave them the title of Qilian and Lexu.

"Thank you, Governor Long."

"Shangguan Jie, Li Ling." Huo Guangyou called out the names of two people at the same time, but this time he was already named by the Marquis of An and Shangguan Jie of Yi'an and Li Ling of Yi'an.

Shangguan Jie and Li Ling looked at each other, and both saw each other's doubts and confusion, but they still respectfully knelt down to Huo Guang.

"I want to confer you as Cong'an Jun and Yi'an Jun. Are you willing to accept it?" This time, Huo Guang did not directly enthrone the title, but first asked Shangguan Jie and Li Ling what he meant.

Huo Guang's words not only made Shangguan Jie and Li Ling speechless for a moment, but even the others in the hall felt embarrassed. These two were already the titles of marquises, and it would be a bit inappropriate if they accepted Huo Guang's title of monarch. But if they didn't accept it, how could they gain a foothold in the Grand Governor's Office in the future?

"I thank the Grand Governor Long En." Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Shangguan Jie, who usually seemed carefree, took the lead in thanking Huo Guang and officially accepted the title of Cong'an Jun.

"I thank the Grand Governor Long En." Then Li Ling made up his mind and thanked Huo Guang for accepting the title of Yi'an Jun.

"The titles of the court belong to the court, and the Grand Governor's Office belong to the Grand Governor's Office. In fact, there is no conflict between the two. You don't have to be too careful." Huo Guang saw the doubts of everyone and said with a consistent smile on his face. However, Huo Guang only gave the title to Shangguan Jie and Li Ling, but did not have a specific fief.

After Huo Guang said this, everyone was relieved. But after a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Du Yannian. Because Huo Guang had enfeoffed eight lords, even Bai Zheng, who had followed Huo Guang for a short time, was named Wu'an Jun. However, as Huo Guang's closest comrade-in-arms, Du Yannian was even more willing to complete the things Huo Guang told him. It can be said that the two had already had brothers and sisters. Their friendship was almost unmatched in the world, but he had not been enfeoffed yet.

"I am planning to set up a county in Zhangye Oasis, with the name of the county... Yinhua. I will give the thousand households of Yinhua County to my disciple Zhao Yinhua as fief... and also appoint Du Yannian as Yinhua Jun. On the second day of next month, I will personally hold a wedding for Du Yannian and Zhao Yinhua in the Grand Governor's Office!" Huo Guang looked at the smiles on everyone's faces becoming more and more obvious, and finally looked at Zhao Yinhua and Du Yannian and said.

"How is it? My good disciple, are you satisfied with the dowry given to you by your master?" Huo Guang looked at Zhao Yinhua, and his father-like smile appeared on his face for the first time.

Zhao Yinhua was already filled with joy. At this moment, she felt the long-lost care in Huo Guang, the feeling of Zhao Guang loving her. Huo Guang enthroned Du Yannian with the word Yinhua, and he was even more thoughtful. The fief of thousands of households was Zhao Yinhua's dowry. Even if Du Yannian remarries his wife and takes concubines in the future, Zhao Yinhua's mansion will always have the final say!

"Thank you..." Zhao Yinhua looked at Huo Guang. At this moment, she had a lot of things in her heart to say to Huo Guang, but after hesitating for a moment, she only said the simplest word "Thank you".

"Grandmaster, Lu Chengjun left Juyan, who should I send there? Juyanze is a strategic location. It is probably inappropriate to not have a general with outstanding abilities to take charge!" When everyone was still immersed in the joy of Fengjun, only Cangwu Jun Dongfang Shuo thought of the hidden dangers of Lu Chengjun Yi Jixuan leaving Juyan.

"I have planned this matter for a long time. The governor planned to let Wuya go to Juyan and to go all the Huns in Xiutu and other places to Juyan, and Wuya will lead these Huns." Huo Guang had made arrangements in his heart, but his arrangements were greatly beyond everyone's expectations.

"Woman...or Hun women?" Shangguan Jie was the first to express his doubts, but he did not question Huo Guang's decision, but was just out of subconscious distrust.

"Don't look down on her. This governor can make a bet with you, in less than three years... In three years, you will find that even if any of you replace Wu Ya to Juyanze, you will not do better than her!" Huo Guang disregarded everyone's doubts, but was extremely confident in betting with everyone.

"I don't dare!" Everyone bowed and said. No one would question Huo Guang's decision in Hexi and the Western Regions. It was unprecedented to let a woman lead the way, which made people suspicious.

Since then, Huo Guang's Western Regions Governor's Office has enthroned nine princes.

They are:

Cangwu Jun Dongfang Shuo

Yinhua Jun Du Yannian

Wu'an Jun Bai Zheng

From Anjun Shangguan Jie

Yi'an Jun Li Ling

Qilian Jun Zhao Ponu

Lexue Jun re-Lu Branch

Lucheng Junyi Jixuan
