    "I still need to carefully consider the choice of the prince, but I can promise you. On the fifteenth of next month, I will tell my ancestors at the Ancestral Temple and decide on the candidate for the prince." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at his highness and courtiers. He knew that it was impossible not to establish a prince.  There is no way to delay this matter any longer.  However, he did not announce it immediately, but chose to make a direct sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple on the fifteenth day of next month.

    "Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Anguo took the lead and bowed.

    When it comes to appointing a prince, this old clan has no selfish motives. He even doesn't care who the emperor wants to appoint as the prince. As long as it is from the clan named Liu, he just needs to register it as soon as possible.  When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty delayed the time for another thirty days, Liu Anguo did not want to push it too hastily. As long as the emperor set a date, it would be enough.

    The enthronement of the new emperor and the appointment of the crown prince and queen are the most important things for a country. These three things require not only the emperor's edict, but also the sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple to be truly completed.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty planned to get there in one step on the 15th of next month. However, this short interval made most people curious about who the emperor's preferred prince was.

    Liu Quya's eyes changed slightly. Now Li Guangli is no longer in Chang'an, and the appointment of the crown prince is imminent. But now no one knows whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has a candidate in mind.  If so, who would it be?  If not, how to let Changyi King Liu Kun obtain the crown prince position?

    "As for the matter of King Qin's edict, I don't think it is necessary. According to my decree, all the men in the commander's command department who are over sixteen years old and under forty years old will be given a third-class title and be trained into an army. If Chang'an is  If there is no more danger to defend outside, let me, Wei Youqu and Wu Wei fight in Chang'an" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forced himself to stand up.  This time he did not compromise. He would not enact King Qin's edict. He made the decision to recruit all the adult men of the Sili Xiaowei Department into the army.

    ????????????????????????????? How many men are there in the Sili school who are over 16 years old and under 40 years old?  In addition to nobles with titles and officials with official positions, there are at least more than 200,000.  However, these two hundred thousand were just civilians. They were either merchants, farmers, or craftsmen, but they were definitely not soldiers. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the most helpless and tragic decision.

    "I obey the decree" No one questioned it at this time. Although no one wanted to see such a result, under the current situation, this result may be inevitable.  Now the only hope is that Weishan in Guangcheng can hold back Wei Youqu, and Li Guangli can block the menacing Huns in Fushi. As for Huo Guang and the Parthian Empire with an army of 250,000, people have ignored them.

    Ourobazo led the 250,000 Parthian Eastern Expedition army and conducted a high-intensity attack on the second pass of Yumen Yangguan for two or three days. The final result was as Huo Tang expected. The 250,000 army did not attack.  After leaving any pass, we had no choice but to retreat two hundred miles on the third day and went to Puchanghai for repairs.

    For Eurobazo, he has already conquered the Western Region, and the Dunhuang in front of him may not be so urgent to occupy.  In fact, he was also a little depressed about the attacks in the past few days. Yangguan and Yumenguan were like two huge turtle shells. Although he had twice as many legions as the Han army, the defensive capabilities of these two passes were beyond imagination.  .

    When faced with an unfamiliar defense system, even someone as smart as Eurobazo will need time to adapt and analyze.

    When Eurobazo retreated to Puchanghai, Yangguan and Yumenguan also began to repair the city walls, replenish supplies, etc.  Huo Tang's idea at that time was that as long as the two passes were defended, Eurobazo would be able to continuously repair the two passes due to the water source and the impossibility of uninterrupted siege. With the backing of the four counties in Hexi,  The two levels can always maintain the best condition.  Even if they can't defeat Eurobazo's 250,000 troops, there is still no problem in defending.

    In the Governor's Mansion of Dunhuang, Huo Guang was reading a business newspaper he had received, which was delivered by Lu Shu from Guangcheng.  The business newspaper was issued more than ten days ago, which was the day when Xun Shen fell into the trap and his entire army was wiped out.

    "Lu Shu doesn't know how you are doing now? I hope you can buy more time for the past two years of preparation" Huo Guang lowered his head and murmured to himself.  Although he had not been to Guangcheng in person, Huo Guang knew how stressful it was for 20,000 people to defend an isolated city. Even though Lu Shu had been preparing to build there for two years, it was still destined to be a tragic and tragic war.

    Lu Shu was not a figure that Huo Guang knew well in the original history. If he hadn't accidentally discovered it that year, maybe Lu Shu would still be just an ordinary workshop worker.  He could not become the richest man in the Han Dynasty, nor could he become the world-famous Marquis Wan Guan, but it was such a person who should have been unknown, but now he exuded a brilliance that would shine through the ages.

    Huo Guang was glad for himself. He was glad that so many people who were originally famous followed him, and he was glad that so many people who were originally unknown became important figures in the Han Dynasty because of him.  He is not a great person, but he has always agreed with the saying "The rule of law""To help the world, if you are poor, you can only help yourself."  He originally just wanted to control his own destiny and not become a person who sacrificed for the imperial power, but when he gained the ability to change the world, he found that because of his changes, the world also changed!

    Since the world has changed because of you, then let yourself lead those who are willing to follow you, and let this country, this civilized country called Han, stand on top of the world in advance!

    Let this country stand on a higher level than before. This is what Huo Guang is doing now!

    "Second brother something bad has happened!" Just when Huo Guang was thinking a lot, Huo Tang hurried in.

    "What could make my sister Tang panic so much?" Huo Guang rarely saw Huo Tang look like this, so he put down the business newspaper and joked to Huo Tang.

    "News from Chang'an The Xiongnu have broken through the defense lines of the five counties in Yunzhong, Wuyuan. Marquis Fu Li was defeated and committed suicide The Xiongnu's 200,000-strong army has arrived to attack the enemy. The emperor transferred Li Guangli  Leading an army of 90,000 to Fushi to defend against the enemy. The emperor decreed that all men aged above 16 and under 40 in the Sili school will be organized into an army. In additionthe 15th emperor of the next month will be offered sacrifices in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.  Announce the appointment of the crown prince." Huo Tang explained the recent great changes in a few simple words.

    "Marquis Fu Li" When he heard that Lu Bode committed suicide for his country, Huo Guang subconsciously put his hands on the table with a look of grief on his face.  As for other shocking news, it seems that Lu Bode's death is not as important to Huo Guang!

    Huo Guang said nothing more after calling out Lu Bode to ban him. His mind kept thinking about this man who dedicated his life to the big man.

    The first time we met in the Battle of Mobei, we watched Lu Bode lead three thousand cavalry from Youbeiping away in the dust outside the Ancestral Temple. That was Huo Guang¡¯s example.  At the time of the Chang'an Order, Lu Bode, who had already entered the court as a guard, protected Huo Guang in every possible way.  Later, Lu Bode in Peiping and Nanyue always played an important role behind Huo Guang.

    In Huo Guang's heart, Lu Bode was not his subordinate. Even though Lu Bode later regarded himself as his subordinate, Huo Guang always regarded him as a friend who was both a teacher and a friend.  Now this famous Han general who could be Huo Guang's master or Huo Guang's friend ended his life with a sad ending.

    Huo Guang closed his eyes and remained silent. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said something incomprehensible: "So it will be less than thirty days before His Majesty canonize the new crown prince?"

    "There are still twenty-six days." Huo Tang didn't know why Huo Guang suddenly said this, so she answered subconsciously.

    "Send an order to all officials above Qianshi in Hexi to go to the Governor's Mansion immediately and recall the two generals." Huo Guang suddenly stood up and said in a commanding tone.

    "Little sister, we'll do it now." Huo Tang looked solemn. She could tell that Huo Guang had some big plans to lay out.

    When Huo Tang left to prepare, Huo Guang called Huo Qi and Huo Ba in again. He handed over his seal and a jade pendant to them respectively.  Then the two of them led dozens of riders out of the Governor's Mansion and headed in two different directions.

    Half a day later, the main hall of the Governor's Mansion was crowded with people.  Not only were all the important officials from Hexi in Dunhuang present, but even Bai Zheng, Li Ling and others on the two front lines returned to Dunhuang.  There were no fewer than forty or fifty people in the hall, all talking in low voices, wondering what Huo Guang had to do with gathering so many people at this time.

    "Does Mr. Yinhua know what the Governor is talking about?" Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian were sitting at the top of the hall, and Zhao Yinhua also appeared in the hall, sitting next to Du Yannian.

    "It happened suddenly, and I didn't know it either!" Du Yannian replied with a confused look on his face.

    Dongfang Shuo looked at Zhao Yinhua next to Du Yannian again. Because of Zhao Yinhua's identity, she did know some things earlier than ordinary people, but this time Zhao Yinhua just shook his head helplessly at Dongfang Shuo, saying that he didn't know.

    "It's strange, everyone who is supposed to come is here, why don't you see Sima Qian?" Dongfang Shuo looked puzzled. At the same time, he also discovered that Sima Qian had not appeared yet.

    "The Governor is here" a guard of the Governor's Mansion shouted loudly, and then everyone saw two figures, a man and a woman, appearing outside the palace.

    Everyone in the hall immediately stopped talking and stood up one after another. At this time, Huo Guang and Huo Tang also walked into the hall one after another.  People on both sides bowed their hands and saluted, saying: "Welcome the Governor I have met Mr. Dayuan"

    Huo Guang went straight to the main seat of the main hall, which was like the imperial steps of Weiyang Palace, a jade platform three steps above the ground of the main hall.  Huo Tang sat at the head of Dongfang Shuo and Du Yannian. There was only one seat there, a seat that belonged exclusively to the Privy Councilor.

    The place where Huo Tang is located is second only to Huo Guang, and he will be the leader of all the kings.The status of being the leader is fully reflected.

    "Master Dayuan, let's begin." Huo Guang sat down and said immediately.

    Huo Tang stood up, faced His Royal Highnesses, and said in her heavenly voice: "The Huns have broken through the defense lines of the five northern counties. Marquis Fu Li was defeated and committed suicide. Now the Huns army is approaching.  Shi. ??The emperor dispatched Li Guangli to lead an army of 90,000 to Fushi to defend against the enemy. At the same time, he ordered that all men over the age of 16 and under 40 in the Sili School Command should be organized into an army. The emperor has scheduled a day at the Ancestral Temple on the 15th of next month.  Sacrifice and announce the appointment of the crown prince."

    Huo Tang's voice fell before everyone in the hall could recover.  Huo Guang also stood up and said to his subordinates who were still digesting the shocking news: "I have mobilized all the subordinates in the Western Regions. Xutuo Mi is leading 30,000 Wusun cavalry to detour to Zhuoxie Mountain and come to Dunhuang. Two people from the Juyan tribe are coming to Dunhuang.  Thousands of Xiongnu cavalry are also ready to go, plus 30,000 Dunhuang cavalry, a total of 80,000 troops. This time I will personally lead the troopsinto Chang'an"

    Huo Guang¡¯s words were even more shocking than the previous news. No one expected that Huo Guang would make the decision to lead troops to Chang¡¯an at this time, including Huo Tang.  Huo Guang made his decision without telling anyone in advance.

    "This if we go to Chang'an at this time, the governor needs a name. How about the name of King Qin?" Huo Tang found that the troops Huo Guang took away would not have any impact on the existing arrangements in Hexi.  Because Eurobazuo has reached the second pass, the Xiongnu Chanyu and King Youxian are both in the Bingzhou area of ????Shuofang.  Both the Wusun cavalry and the Juyan cavalry lost control and could indeed leave the defense area at this time.

    "It's not King Qinbut Lord QingJin'er, come in!" Huo Guang's few words caught everyone off guard.  At this time, except for a few people such as Huo Tang and Dongfang Shuo who roughly guessed Huo Guang's intentions, most people looked confused and shocked.

    Just as Huo Guang finished speaking, a young man walked into the hall, followed by a man and a woman.  The man was familiar to everyone in the hall. He was Sima Qian, who rarely appeared recently, but not many people knew the woman.

    "This Your Highness and Mr. Xi when did you come?" Zhao Yinhua took two steps forward excitedly and looked at the young man and girl besides Sima Qian.  There was excitement, joy, and a bit of disbelief on his face.

    Many people have always thought that the emperor's grandson and Princess Jiangdu were dead, even Zhao Yinhua thought so.  Zhao Yinhua is one of the few people in Hexi who knows these two people. Although they have not seen each other for several years, people who are familiar with them can still recognize them at a glance.

    "Greetings to His Royal Highness Changsun, and paying homage to His Royal Highness Princess Jiangdu." Zhao Yinhua stood up straight and bowed to the two of them.  She is also a thoughtful person. When these two people appeared, she probably guessed what Huo Guang meant by saying "Qingjun side", so she saluted them solemnly.

    "Sima Qian, you were once the Taishi Ling of Chang'an. Now tell everyone in the palace, who is this?" Huo Guang looked at Sima Qian and pointed at Liu Jin.

    "Your Majesty, Sima Qian pays homage to His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" Sima Qian did not say anything to everyone in the palace, but stood in front of Liu Jin, straightened his clothes, then bent down and bowed, using his  Actual actions revealed the identity of this young man.

    "I will pay my respects to His Highness Changsun!" Sima Qian was still bowing, and everyone in the palace reacted.  They all bowed to Liu Jin and even Huo Guang walked down the jade steps and stood side by side with Huo Tang and bowed to Liu Jin.
