    "We marched down two counties in three days Are the governor of Liaodong and the captains of all the tribes all useless?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's beard trembled, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry in his heart.

    Because Liaodong County is a border county, its setting of captains is different from that of inner counties. A Liaodong County has five captains, namely east, west, south, north and central.  The North Korean army guarding Youqu actually captured the two major counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi within three days. These captain's mansions did not even have the ability to resist.

    "Your Majesty, Wei Youqu suddenly launched an attack, marching hundreds of miles in one day, without giving the border counties any chance to react. This person seems to have been disobedient for a long time, and I'm afraid he has been planning this for several years. Now, right  The Beiping Taigongshan is resisting the Youqu army in Guangcheng. There are only more than ten thousand soldiers in Youbeiping, and I'm afraid they won't be able to defend Youbeiping for long. I ask your Majesty to quickly send the Youfufeng army to support Youbeiping." Prime Minister Liu Quyou, as the leader of all ministers,  At this time, he was the first to stand up, and he had to be the first to stand up.

    Wei Shan was the captain of the North who had followed Huo Qubing during the Battle of Mobei. He was later granted the title of Marquis of Yiyang due to his meritorious service. After Lu Bode left the position of prefect of Youbeiping and entered the court as a guard, Wei Shan succeeded Lu.  Bode became the prefect of Youbeiping. It can be said that Youbeiping started from Huo Qubing, and it already belonged to the sphere of influence of Wei Huo's relatives in the border county.

    When Lu Bode was in Youbeiping, he trained an elite cavalry force of 3,000 people, which was considered one of the few elite cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty at that time.  This army has always existed in Youbeiping. Now that Weiyouqu's army is invading, it is precisely with this elite that the 60,000 Korean troops of Weiyouqu can be blocked in Guangcheng County, the gateway to Youbeiping.

    "You Fufeng's army" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lowered his head and thought for a moment. You Fufeng's 90,000 army can be said to be the largest large-scale organized army that the Han Dynasty can mobilize at present. Because of the rebellion of Prince Wei and the Great War,  The three branches of the Dudu Mansion were separated but have not been disbanded for a long time. One branch is still stationed in Youfufeng.

    "Your Majesty, the Wei You Canal is almost in full force. In fact, we can send the naval forces down the river and out of the Bohai Sea to the east to directly attack Wangxian City. In addition, we can send an experienced and prudent general to mobilize soldiers and horses from all the counties in Jizhou to help You Beiping.  . As long as the Lou Chuanjun breaks through the royal capital of Korea, Wei Youqu will be in chaos. At that time, our army's waterway attack will not only defeat Wei Youqu, but even completely integrate the land of Korea into the territory of the Han Dynasty." Sang Hong, the imperial censor.  Yang left his seat, stood beside Prime Minister Liu Quyou and expressed his thoughts, but kept silent about You Fufeng's 90,000 troops.

    "Your Majesty, what the imperial censor said makes sense" Wang Yong, the young minister, agreed. He had already followed Sang Hongyang's lead, and now he was the first to stand up and support.

    "Your Majesty, I second the proposal of the imperial censor." Su Yan, the newly appointed Da Nong Ling, also agreed.

    Su Yan is the clan brother of Su Jian, the prefect of Daijun who was remembered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is said that they are both descendants of Su Qin. Su Yan has been rising through the ranks since he was appreciated by Sang Hongyang a few years ago, and was promoted to the post of Sang Hongyang.  After becoming the imperial censor, he recommended Su Yan to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became the successor of the Da Nong Order.

    "I second the proposal" Following the two nine ministers, a large number of courtiers began to agree.

    Prime Minister Liu Quyou lowered his head, but his brows wrinkled slightly.  Although he was only Prime Minister Zuo, he was still Prime Minister after all. Sang Hongyang in the court had directly rejected his proposal more than once.  What made him even more embarrassed was that the people in the entire court were obviously more biased towards Sang Hongyang, the imperial censor, than towards him, the prime minister.

    "The words of the imperial censor are reasonable. According to my decree, General Yang Pu of Louchuan led the navy of Louchuan out of the Bohai Sea to directly attack the dangerous city of the Korean King. He also appointed Xun Shen, the envoy of the Northern Army Guards, as General of the Left and led troops from all counties in Jizhou to rush to the rescue.  Right Beiping." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a decision quickly. He chose Sang Hongyang's suggestion and even decided on the candidates for the expedition.

    ?? Yang Pu was originally the general of the building fleet, and he was also the general who was most familiar with the navy. It was most suitable for him to lead the building army.  As for Xun Shen, he was considered a mature and prudent general. In his early years, he followed Wei Qing to the fortress to fight against the Xiongnu many times. He was already a captain at that time, and in recent years he became the captain of the Northern Army.  His predecessor, Ren An, had accepted the prince's edict. Although he did not send troops, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still felt that Ren An had second thoughts, and later he directly cut him off.  Became General Zuo.

    "I obey the decree" Yang Pu and Xun She both stood in the palace and bowed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    After the initial shock and panic, both Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the courtiers of the Han Dynasty gradually calmed down.  At this time, the Han Dynasty was still extremely powerful in the eyes of everyone, and North Korea was just a small country.

    The temporary court meeting to deal with the situation in Northeast China soon ended. Although it was still midnight, most of the courtiers could no longer sleep peacefully.  Yang Pu and Xun Fu packed their bags non-stop and began to prepare for the expedition, and a small meeting in the imperial censor's office was also held after the meeting.Continue to start.

    Sang Hongyang did not summon these people at his own residence, but went directly to the imperial censor's office. In his view, this was a public matter, an official matter related to the fate of the country.

    "How much food and grass does Aocang have?" In the main hall of the government office, Sang Hongyang was in the main position. Under him were Wang Yong, the young minister, and Su Yan, the great farmer's order.  Nong Cheng and several other Qianshi officials.

    "Because the river burst its banks a few years ago, Aocang's grain storage was almost exhausted. Although it has been replenished in recent years, it is still less than 20%." The big farmer asked Su Yan to lower his head slightly and replied.

    Aocang is the most important strategic location and the largest granary in the Western Han Dynasty.  Sang Hongyang knew that in a war, in addition to the lives of soldiers on the battlefield, what was more important was the competition in logistics and food.  As one of the three princes, in addition to the power of the royal censor, he was also in charge of the world's trade, money and food. It was related to the logistics of tens of thousands of troops, so he had to intervene.

    "Less than 20%? If it costs a hundred thousand troops, how long will it last?" Sang Hongyang only knew the approximate amount of grain stored in Aocang, and it was difficult for him to calculate the specific cost of supporting the army, so he continued to ask.

    "Back to Lord Marquis a rough calculation can probably guarantee the cost of an army of 100,000 for three months!" Da Nongcheng stood up and replied to Sang Hongyang.  This person was also Sang Hongyang's old subordinate when he was in charge of the Da Nong Order. This person knew Sang Hongyang's style well and had made a rough estimate before the meeting.

    "Well, you will leave for Aocang tomorrow, sit in Aocang with my decree, and personally be responsible for the dispatching and operation." Sang Hongyang said to the great Nongcheng, and sent his confidants to Aocang.

    When Yang Pu's fleet army began to enter the river and flow eastward, Huo Guang, who was far away in Dunhuang, finally received the news that Wei Youqu's troops were approaching Youbeiping. However, the news he received was not from the Han court, but from the Han court.  It was not from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but from Lu Shu, the Marquis of Wan Guan, whom he had not seen for two years.

    "Is it true that you are still here?" Huo Guang said in a low voice, holding the letter in his hand.

    The snow in Dunhuang has already melted, and the Crescent Moon Spring in the Governor's Mansion is full of spring and sparkling.

    Huo Guang was not surprised when Wei Youqu lit up the beacon smoke in the northeast of the Han Empire, but it was just a little late.

    "Second brother, you have let Lu Shu operate in Youbeiping for almost two years, just to prevent Weiyouqu from attacking, right? But why do we waste a lot of materials to defend Youbeiping? It must be difficult for just Weiyouqu to do so  Emperor, right?" Huo Tang stood behind Huo Guang, with many puzzlements in his eyes.  Lu Shu was hoarding supplies and food in Youbeiping. Huo Tang also knew about this. Otherwise, Youbeiping's army of less than ten thousand people would not have been able to hold on to Guangcheng for so long.

    "Tangmei, do you smell it? This wind is blowing from the grassland" Huo Guang suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the north, then raised his head slightly and sniffed hard, as if he could smell the wind from the grassland.  The scent of grassland can be smelled in the coming north wind.

    "This" Huo Tang didn't know why. She always felt that her second brother was waiting for something, just like that Eurobazo.  Over the past few months in charge of the Privy Council, Huo Tang has learned more and more about Eurobazo, and the more she understands, the less she dares to underestimate the Prime Minister of the Parthian Empire. She is not even sure that she can deal with this Parthian Prime Minister on her own.  The first wise man.

    "Teacher An urgent report from Ju Yan." Just when Huo Tang was puzzled, Zhao Yinhua came to the bank of the Crescent Moon Spring in a hurry.

    Because the three houses were first established and there was still insufficient manpower, Zhao Yinhua also helped Huo Tang handle some affairs of the Privy Council. Because it was much more convenient to work with both women, he became Huo Tang's deputy, the Lord of the Grand Court.

    Not only Zhao Yinhua serves in the Privy Council, but in fact many low-level officials in the three councils are outstanding disciples trained in the Huo family clan school.  It has been several years since the establishment of the clan school, and several groups of children have gradually grown up. The outstanding ones have been selected, and after a little training, they have come to Hexi and become the priority candidates to supplement the lower-level officials in Hexi.

    In fact, the current four counties in Hexi, from the bottom officials to the middle-level officials to the top officials, are inextricably linked to the Huo family.

    Huo Guang took the envelope from Zhao Yinhua's hand, with a line of beautiful Chinese characters on it.  He recognized that it was Wu Ya's handwriting. In front of his sister and disciple, Huo Guang opened the envelope, quickly browsed the contents, and then lifted the letter and handed it to Huo Tang.

    "You can read it yourself." Huo Guang looked calm and did not tell the content of the letter, but let Huo Tang read it himself.

    Huo Tang was also curious about the content on it, so she lowered her head and read it carefully. When she looked at it, she realized that the content of the letter actually only had a few sentences. However, after reading these few sentences, Huo Tang couldn't hide the shock on her face.  color.

    "This Uwei couldn't have discussed it with Wei Youqu, right?" Huo Tang asked with a look of disbelief on his face, and at the same time handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Yinhua.

    When Zhao YinhuaWhen she saw the contents of the letter, her expression was the same as Huo Tang's.  The few simple sentences on the letterhead only said one thing. The Xiongnu Chanyu Uwei and King Youxian have joined forces. A total of 200,000 Xiongnu troops have begun to move south. Soon they will attack Wuyuan County and Shuofang Prefecture.  Yunzhong County of the provincial governor's department.

    Ten miles west of Wu'an City, this place has become the headquarters of the Parthian Eastern Expedition Corps.  Eurobazo chewed a piece of beef in his mouth, and then drank a sip of wine, a specialty of the Western Regions.  The five monarchs who accompanied him also ate the same food. Even though they were away on an expedition and the battle lasted for more than half a year, they still maintained their nobility and elegance.

    "How long will it take for them to arrive?" Ourobazo wiped the corners of his mouth with a woolen square towel and said while wiping his hands.

    "Dear Prime Minister, the armies of the three monarchs of Armenia, Ezessa, and Hatra have crossed the Susiya area. They will arrive here in about half a month." Eurobazo's secretary stood beside him, bowing his head slightly.  replied.

    "Very good, this perfect moment is finally coming When the empire's 100,000 reinforcements arrive, our legions will exceed 250,000. In addition to the 200,000 troops of the Huns in the north of the Han Empire, and the North Korean  With tens of thousands of troops in the kingdom, this Eastern Empire will face an army of more than half a million from three directions at the same timeVictory will definitely belong to us, the great Parthian Empire" Ouluo  Bazo folded the towels neatly and placed them on the silver plate. There was no arrogance in his words. His low and soothing remark seemed to be elegantly reciting a poem!
