    This is an edict that puzzles most of the courtiers. Almost everyone can't understand it. Now that the Han Dynasty is anxious about war on three sides, it is not only bold to provoke a war with the southwestern barbarians at this time, but also a little crazy.  move.

    "I want to reopen the southwest trade route, but the barbarians in the southwest do not know how to teach me. They have repeatedly seized the goods of my Han merchants, and even intercepted and killed the caravans. Now I can only follow the king's way to the Jingning border. Although there are many countries in the southwestern barbarians,  Most of them are small countries with few people, so you only need to divide them and attack them one by one." Huo Guang sat at the head of the palace, his calm and steady voice slowly sounded.

    The courtiers who were originally agitated and anxious actually calmed down when Huo Guang spoke. His words were like a reassurance for everyone. This young Han general was like a needle in the sea sitting in the Xuanshi Hall.

    The general spoke, and even though there were still many doubts in his mind, no one raised them openly in the court.  This is Huo Guang's status and power today. Whether it is said that he has all the power to control the country, or that he is trying to turn the tide and support the building from collapse, he has the final say in this country now!

    Gradually, the courtiers discovered that today¡¯s court meetings actually do not have much meaning anymore.  The general had already arranged all the major policies. Huo Guang was in charge of the deployment of border troops and the imperial censor had full authority to handle the transportation of grain and grass. The rest of the courtiers seemed to be following step by step.

    After announcing a few things, the meeting ended quickly.  Huo Guang did not leave Weiyang Palace, but took Luo Xiahong directly from Weiyang Palace to Changle Palace.

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was admiring flowers in the garden of Changle Palace. In front of him, a carefully pruned crabapple was blooming in full bloom.  This was just transplanted from Jiaofang Palace yesterday. Although it was transplanted and planted, there were no adverse effects and the most beautiful flowers still bloomed in this most beautiful season.

    Within just two days of retreating to Changle Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began a life surrounded by flowers and plants all day long. He no longer took any elixirs, but took some health-preserving decoctions brewed for him by the Tongji Medical Center on time every day.  The majestic emperor's aura gradually faded away, and from a distance he looked like a wealthy old man who was enjoying his old age.

    "Your Majesty, the general asked for an audience and brought a man named Luo Xia Hong." Zhang Anshi approached Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and bowed behind him.

    Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed over his power, he was still the emperor of this country.  A supply of supplies is still the treatment of an emperor, and Zhang Anshi, Huo Shen and other close servants are still serving at his side.

    "It's only been two days since the general came to see me in person. It seems there is something important. Let him come!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty withdrew his trembling hand from a begonia flower. He did not choose to receive him in the palace.  Huo Guang is right next to the crabapple tree.

    Soon Zhang Anshi led Huo Guang and Luo Xiahong into the garden. Huo Guang moved forward calmly, looking at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty under the tree and the blooming Begonia flowers.

    Luo Xia Hong followed closely behind Huo Guang with his head lowered.  Huo Guangneng could clearly feel that the greatest scientist in the world was very nervous at this moment. Even though this old man had reached the age of knowing his destiny, he was still excited and nervous when he was about to see the emperor for the first time.

    "I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Approaching Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang bowed first and saluted.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still looking at the crabapple tree, with his back to Huo Guang and others.

    "Bajun Luoxia Hong pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor." Luoxia Hong followed Huo Guang and bowed. He was much more generous than Huo Guang, but he was not as prone to kneeling as later generations.  Even if Luo Xiahong was just a commoner, there was no rule that said he had to kneel down when he saw the emperor.

    "The general has so many things to do, how come he has time to see me?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still turned his back to Huo Guang. Although his tone was calm, the people around him felt nervous when they heard it.

    Luo Xiahong buried his head deeply, not daring to look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Huo Guang.  He didn't expect that the emperor's first words when he saw the general were so tense.

    Huo Guang looked at the back of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, smiled indifferently, and then said in a relaxed tone: "I heard that this Begonia plant was transplanted from Jiaofang Palace. It seems that His Majesty misses the Queen very much."  Zhao Riyue! In fact, I have something about the Queen that I want to tell Your Majesty."

    No one expected that Huo Guang would respond like this to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's slightly mocking words just now.

    "You guys stand down first." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hands to everyone, and the maids who were standing around all bowed their heads and left.  Soon only Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi and Luo Xiahong were left.

    Originally Luo Xiahong thought that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had something important to say to Huo Guang, and he planned to retreat further away first, but Huo Guang seemed to see what he was thinking, and gently shook his head at him, indicating that he could just stay.

    "I would like to ask your majesty to give the queen a posthumous title." Huo Guang said with another bow to the back of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

      As soon as Huo Guang's words came out, both Zhang Anshi and Luo Xiahong were shocked. Empresses have never had independent posthumous titles. Huo Guang actually asked for a posthumous title for Wei Zifu. This was the first of its kind in ancient times.

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slowly turned around and stared at Huo Guang for a long time before saying, "Is there a suitable choice?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not ask why or whether this would be inappropriate. He just asked if there was a suitable choice.  Posthumous title is optional.

    "Thinking" Huo Guang only answered with one word.

    "Queen Xiaowusiwhat a miss" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty murmured to himself. He knew that this miss meant more than just longing!

    Luo Xiahong stood beside Huo Guang, his heart already extremely shocked.  The word "xiaowu" didn't need anyone to explain it. Luo Xiahong probably already guessed what it meant. His legs had already begun to shake uncontrollably.

    "Your Majesty thinks it is feasible, and I will do it soon. Mr. Chang Gong is a scholar of heaven and man. I brought him here today to reset the calendar and build the Armillary Sphere next to the Sifang Pavilion." Huo Guang first agreed and established a ceremony for Wei Zifu.  He gave the posthumous title, and then immediately changed the topic and talked about the purpose of bringing Luo Xia Honglai.

    "Reset the calendar? What is the armillary sphere?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also slightly stunned. He did not expect that Huo Guang's mind was not only on the border war, but also paid attention to the calendar.

    "Mr. Chang Gong, please explain it in detail to Your Majesty." Huo Guang looked at Luo Xiahong and nodded encouragingly.

    Luo Xiahong took a deep breath, put behind his mind what he had seen and heard before, devoted himself wholeheartedly to the calendar astrology, and then spoke to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    When Huo Guang left Changle Palace with Luo Xiahong, Wang Jun and Dahonglu Suwu, who had just been appointed as Zhonglang General, also left Chang'an City and headed southwest. They joined up with the 60,000-strong army of Jianwei from Shu County, and then led their troops to attack  Went to the southwest.

    Su Wu jumped from an official with a few hundred dan to one of the nine officials who won two thousand dan.  However, this time he was not the coach of the attack on South Vietnam. The coach was the slightly inferior Zhonglang General Wang Jun.  It is also very rare in history to let Jiu Qing accompany the army without specific responsibilities.

    The rank of General Zhonglang is the same as that of Lieutenant Youfu, both of which are worth two thousand stones.  This is not because Huo Guang is reluctant to give up a titled general, but because in the entire southwestern kingdoms, except for the Dian Kingdom, which has the title of king, the other barbarians are at best princes or kings.  Of course, there are some countries where they call themselves kings, but these are not recognized by the Han government.  Therefore, when attacking the southwestern barbarians, they will not send out titled generals like they did when attacking South Vietnam or the Xiongnu.

    The war between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was in full swing, and everyone in the country felt that life was more difficult than before.  However, considering that the country was going through war, the people gritted their teeth and got through it.  The people of Chang'an City discovered that a large number of people had been building something day and night in the open space next to the Sifang Pavilion. Some knowledgeable people even discovered that Huo Guang, the general of the dynasty, was still building something.  He often appears here and seems to be extremely interested in what is being built.

    Soon a strange name spread among the powerful people in Chang'an, and then slowly spread to everyone.  It is said that the three words "Tianjiyuan" were personally decided by the emperor who had retired to Changle Palace. For a time, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the Tianjiyuan under construction.

    "Da Honglu, do you really want to take a detour and go to Da Qin again?" Among the troops returning to the southwest, Wang Jun and Su Wu rode on horseback.  The southwest army mostly had infantry, and its marching speed was relatively slow. Moreover, the southwest was mostly hilly, so cavalry could not play its role.  This is why Huo Guang sent Wang Jun, a general who was good at infantry combat, as his commander.

    "I would like to go to Rome again, but unfortunately I can't get away now. I went to the southwest with Yuanyou, mainly because the general ordered me to redefine the southwest territory, defeat the small barbarian countries in the southwest, and exile their people.  The real goal of the general is to make it the territory of the Han Dynasty. As for taking a detour from Shendu to Daqin, I will send some other people there." Su Wu also directly called Wang Jun by his first name. They were all Huo Guang's confidants, plus  This time the two of them went to the southwest together, so their personal relationship was naturally good.

    "Expel his countryexile his peoplethe governor is indeed far-sighted. After this, the southwestern barbarians will no longer matter!" Wang Jun repeated Huo Guang's attitude towards the southwestern barbarians.

    Being able to lead an army alone to fight for one side is the lifelong pursuit of every general, and it is also a supreme honor.  Judging from the current situation of the Han Dynasty, this army that conquers the barbarians in the southwest is actually in the best condition.  Because most of the barbarians in the southwest are small countries, and this army is supported by large counties such as Bajun in Shujun. Shujun has sufficient supplies and few natural disasters. It is currently the richest place in the Han Dynasty.  It can be said that he needs troops and food, so Wang Jun not only has no pressure at all about the expedition to the southwestern barbarians, but is actually looking forward to it.

    But compared to the war in the southwestIn this situation, the pressure from the Han army in the other three directions was much greater, and the most important of them was the Hexi Liangguan area. This direct force of Huo Guang withstood the attack of a powerful army that was twice as strong as our own.  The Parthian Army not only had a huge advantage in terms of the number of troops, but its equipment and equipment were no worse than the Hexi Army, and even surpassed the Hexi Army in some places.

    To the west of the two passes, huge war instruments shaped like pendulums are being assembled. More than a year ago, it was this unique siege equipment that smashed Guishan, the impregnable capital of Dawan King, to pieces.

    Now this kind of terrifying instrument appears again outside Yangguan and Yumenguan
