Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the top of Guishan City, Bai Zheng, Li Ling and other generals were waiting in full formation. Their eyes could see the distant horizon from the city wall.  The three sections of city wall are now filled with tens of thousands of soldiers and generals, and there are tens of thousands of troops under the city tower, ready to replace the soldiers on the tower at any time.

    "Here we come" Li Ling held the heavy sword with one hand and stuck the tip of the sword on the ground.  Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he murmured two words to himself.

    There was silence above the city wall. Many people heard Li Ling's words. At this time, everyone stared at the horizon, but there was still nothing there.

    Only when Bai Zheng heard Li Ling say those two words, his eyes fell on the heavy sword in Li Ling's hand.  Bai Zheng saw Li Ling's heavy sword stuck on the city wall trembling slightly.

    After a while, the weapons that many soldiers were leaning on the ground began to tremble slightly, and then a line of silvery light, like a tide, began to appear on the horizon.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: An army of 180,000 plus 15,000 armored cavalry. What does it feel like when such a legion is marching?  Even soldiers standing on the walls of Guishan City will feel that the earth begins to tremble, that is, a torrent of steel sweeps across the earth, and anything in the way will be destroyed.

    In Guishan City, inside the Dawan Palace.  Huo Guang sat on the throne of the former King of Dayuan. Below him were Dongfang Shuo, Meicai, Sima Qian and Su Wu.  They were all dressed in regular clothes, and even Huo Guang was not wearing armor.

    At this moment, Sima Qian still had paper and pen on the desk in front of him, but he did not pick up the pen at this moment, but listened carefully. Su Wu was talking about what he had seen and heard in Rome, and Huo Guang was playing with the stone in his hand.  A rare ruby ??given to him by Sulla.

    "Such a large ruby ??is indeed rare in the world. It is enough to trade for a castle in Anxi! It is a truly priceless rare treasure!" Zuo Xiang Mocai looked at the ruby ??in Huo Guang's hand and praised it full of praise.

    "Such a treasure should have a name. I wonder if Su Sicheng knows its name?" Dongfang Shuo was slightly surprised when he heard Mo Cai say that such a gem could be exchanged for a castle.  Those who own castles in Parthia are at least considered mid-level nobles, and even in some small countries, only kings have castles.

    "This Consul Sulla never mentioned it. Since the thing already belongs to the Grand Governor, why not rename it by the Grand Governor!" Su Wu was a little embarrassed by the question. He indeed forgot to ask about the gem.  The name was never mentioned by Sulla.

    "It's indeed good, but why do I, a grown man, need this thing? Such a beautiful gem must be paired with the most beautiful woman in the world to complement each other. Let's leave the name for my wife to pick up in the future!" Huo Guang looked at the gem and smiled softly.  , but did not name it, but planned to leave the gem to Li Yan.

    "Haha, once the Governor said this, I don't know how many women in the world will be envious of him!" Dongfang Shuo said jokingly.

    Giving a priceless gem to his wife and asking her to name the treasure, Dongfang Shuo could already predict that the name of this rare gem would be spread all over the world, and the story of Huo Guang, Li Yan and this gem would also inevitably  Be praised by the world!

    Huo Guang also had a smile on his face, but after a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. At the same time, he clenched his hands and held the rare treasure tightly in his palm.

    "Here it comes" Huo Guang softly uttered two words, and his body gradually sat up straight.

    Sima Qian lowered his head and looked at the pen and paper on the desk. Just when his eyes fell on the desk, the brush that was originally placed on the pen holder trembled slightly and was about to fall off the pen holder.  Sima Qian stretched out his right palm and clamped the pen firmly between his fingers. Then he pressed his left hand heavily on the paper on the desk, then he buried his head and began to write furiously.

    The movement of the 180,000-strong army was earth-shaking, and soon the heavy sound of horse hooves and the orderly footsteps of the infantry phalanx reached Guishan City.  This invisible momentum, accompanied by sounds that shook the heaven and earth, was like a real sense of oppression attacking Guishan City.

    Fifteen thousand armored cavalry stopped just in front of the gully dug outside the city.  Then the footsteps of the military formation stopped abruptly, and the army slowly separated. The last few people wearing the costumes of Parthian nobles appeared in front of the armored cavalry, looking at the ravine in front of them that was hundreds of feet wide.

    ¡°Send my letter over.¡± Prime Minister Ourobazo took out a parchment roll from his sleeve and handed it to his secretary.

    Soon the secretary tied the parchment scroll to a long ceremonial spear, and he walked step by step towards Guishan Gate Tower holding the ceremonial spear.

    "No one is allowed to shoot without my order." Bai Zheng quickly ordered.  The ballistas on the city tower have long been ready, and countless archers have their arrows ready.  Seeing only one Parthian man walking towards the tower with a spear in hand, almost all the bows and arrows were ready for OluoBarzo's secretary.

    "It seems that these Parthian people are quite polite. Do you still know how to be polite before fighting?" Li Ling said with a grin.  The secretary was wearing a cloth robe and did not look like a soldier at all. Li Ling estimated that the spear was tied with something similar to a letter of war.

    "Put down the hanging basket." Bai Zheng continued to order.

    Soon Eurobazo¡¯s parchment appeared at the top of Guishan City, and then a school captain held up the parchment and hurried to the palace where Huo Guang was.

    Seeing the parchment being sent to the city, Eurobazo nodded and smiled, and then said to the five kings beside him: "Let's go, that place has a nice view, let's go there and wait."

    Eurobazo pointed to a hillside east of Guishan City.

    Eurobazo got on his mount, and then led the five kings and hundreds of guards towards a hillside on the east side of Guishan City.  There is still six or seven miles away from Guishan City, and the surrounding terrain is open and unobstructed. Standing there, you can have a panoramic view of the situation outside Guishan City.

    When Eurobazo took the five kings to Dongshan, the parchment was also delivered to Huo Guang.  Huo Guang naturally did not recognize the Parthian characters on the parchments, but Su Wu had a very in-depth understanding of the characters and languages ??of various countries over the past few years. Parthian characters and languages ??were the focus of his study.

    "Grand Governor, this is a personal letter from Parthian Prime Minister Ourobazo. He wants to meet with you, the Grand Governor He is waiting for the Grand Governor outside the city at the moment" The contents of the parchment scroll of General Su  It was translated, but the content surprised him.  An imperial prime minister who led an army of 180,000 to the east, the first thing he did when he came to the city was not to attack the city, but to meet with the enemy commander first

    "Now the two armies are at war. This man's behavior is so different from ordinary people. My subordinates feel that it is not appropriate for the Governor to take risks at this time. Please think twice!" Huo Guang had not yet decided whether to go or not, but Dongfang Shuo took the lead in admonishing him.

    "It is precisely because the Prime Minister behaves differently than ordinary people that I have to go. Besides, everyone has invited me through letters. Wouldn't it be rude not to go? Su Wu, please come with me. Is your health okay?" Huo Guang  He smiled at Dongfang Shuo and said, seemingly not worried that Eurobazo would be unfavorable to him at all.

    "It is my dream to meet this legendary wise man of Anxi. This minor injury is not serious." Su Wu bowed and said. He had already fallen in love with this feeling of being among heroes from all over the world.  Now even if he is offered a high position in Chang'an, Su Wu will refuse without hesitation.  Su Wu was already looking forward to meeting the rumored Parthian Prime Minister Ourobazo!

    "Grand Governor, please allow your subordinates to accompany you." Just as Huo Guang was about to leave the city, Sima Qian suddenly stood up, identifying himself as a subordinate for the first time, and asked Huo Guang to take him with him to see Eurobazo.

    Huo Guang stopped in surprise and turned around to look at Sima Qian.  Huo Guang now has no respect for this Taishi Ling who has been famous for thousands of years, let alone any special emotions.  Huo Guang did not have any in-depth communication with Sima Qian. He only knew that Li Ling's fate had been changed by him. Maybe Sima Qian's fate had also changed. Even Sima Qian had not returned to Chang'an for a long time. Maybe he would never leave that part of history again.  Sorry.

    "I heard that you are compiling a history book called "Tai Shi Ji"? If you die outside, you will never have the chance to finish the book!" Huo Guang said to Sima Qian in a teasing tone. Originally, he wanted to say eunuch, but  However, thinking that there was no such statement in this era, he finished the story. Huo Guang estimated that Sima Qian should be able to understand what it meant.

    The name "Historical Records" was given by later generations. At this time, Sima Qian called the history book he was compiling "Tai Shi Ji". The meaning is actually very simple, it refers to the records of Tai Shi Ling.

    Sima Qian has become a celebrity in the Western Regions in recent years, but he feels a little transparent in front of Huo Guang. Huo Guang never interferes with his actions, and even signals his subordinates to help Sima Qian as much as possible. However, the two have never had more than three conflicts.  A conversation of more than one sentence.

    "Haha, you are not afraid of the safety of the Western Region because of the governor. Why should you be afraid of the subordinates who are just swordsmen and penmen?" Sima Qian said so many words to Huo Guang for the first time. He bowed to Huo Guang and said,  There is a kind of commoner's anger with blood splattering five steps.

    "Okay! I also want to read Tai Shiling's masterpiece when I have time. Now let's go meet Prime Minister Xi'an. Lord Cangwu, I'll leave this to you first!" Huo Guang nodded in agreement with Sima Qian's request, and then  He also appointed Dongfang Shuo to take over his command.

    Originally, Dongfang Shuo wanted to dissuade Huo Guang with words, or let himself go out of the city to meet Eurobazo in Huo Guang's place.  However, Huo Guang directly called him Lord Cangwu, which was equivalent to giving Dongfang Shuo an order to stay in Guishan City, so he could only bow and accept the order without hesitation.

    Soon Huo Guang brought Su Wu and Sima Qian, plus hundreds ofThe guards rode out of Guishan City and headed towards Dongshan.  In fact, the place Europa Zuo chose was not far from Guishan City. Even if something happened, with the combat power of Huo Guang's hundreds of cavalry, it would not be difficult to protect him from the siege.  What's more important is that Guishan City can also see every move of the Parthian army. Ever since Eurobazo and others went to Dongshan, his 180,000 army has still stayed in place and has not moved. Eurobazo is actually using practical actions.  Tell Huo Guang that this is a simple meeting.

    On the gentle slope of Dongshan Mountain, Huo Guang leads the way.

    Eurobazo¡¯s subordinates have already set up a simple tent. This simple building, which the Han people should call a pergola, is the place where Eurobazo and Huo Guang met.

    Less than a hundred feet away from the pergola on the top of the mountain, Huo Guang halted his horse, then turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guard beside him, and led Sima Qian and others on foot towards the pergola.  Huo Guang, Sima Qian and Su Wu all wore Han Chinese casual clothes. This kind of casual clothes with large sleeves and large sleeves perfectly interprets the beauty of Hanfu. There is a grace when walking, showing elegance and calmness.

    "It seems that this commander-in-chief of the East is also a very special person. I want to greet him personally." Eurobazo, who saw Huo Guang for the first time in the pergola, slowly stood up.  He straightened his noble robes and led the five kings who were also wearing robes to greet Huo Guang.

    When Eurobazo saw that Huo Guang was not wearing the armor used on the battlefield, but the clothes that the Han nobles in the portraits wore during sacrifices or gatherings, Eurobazo's first impression of Huo Guang was actually very good.  .

    The resting nobles also have their own attire, which they only wear during solemn ceremonies or when meeting distinguished guests or the king.  Eurobazo rarely wears armor. As the most intelligent man in the empire, he has his own pride and reserve. Normally, he wears gorgeous robes that represent his noble status. Today he even chose one of his favorites.  A robe with gold embroidery on the collar and cuffs.

    According to Eurobazo¡¯s understanding, Huo Guang came to see him wearing Han Chinese attire.  As a proud person who respects his opponents very much, when he meets a powerful opponent who also respects him, that feeling is better than the flattery of countless mediocre people!

    One is the prime minister of the powerful Parthian Empire, and the other is the general governor of the Han Empire with hundreds of thousands of troops in the Western Regions.  When the two of them walked towards each other, their eyes naturally met.
