The General's Office in Chang'an has become the center of power for the entire Han Dynasty. Whether it was the rights that should have belonged to the prime minister or those that should only belong to the emperor, they were now replaced by this palace located in the east palace of Weiyang Palace.
The General¡¯s Office was not rebuilt, but directly rebuilt from the Wutai Hall complex in the north of Weiyang Palace.
On August 30, a day half a month after the lunar eclipse, and the day before the first court meeting in September, a meeting in the main hall of Wutai, like a court meeting in Weiyang Palace, was being held under the auspices of Huo Guang.
In the main hall of Wutai Hall, Huo Guangzheng occupies the main position, with dozens of seats lined up on both sides of the hall. General Shi Duyannian, General Sima Sima Qian and others are among them, and there are also some officials who have been recently promoted or transferred. Most of the people here are new faces, and they are all unknown officialdom rookies, but they are It is these people who maintain the operation of the General's Mansion, the Han's new highest authority.
"Sima Qian, draft the general's order." Huo Guang's majestic voice sounded in the hall, and Sima Qian naturally put his pen down on the paper.
Because of his proficiency in writing, Sima Qian has now developed a unique font that is unique to him in his long-term work. The strokes of this font are slim and round, and the words seem to be connected in one go. Because of the convenience and speed of writing, coupled with reading It is also extremely convenient and is widely used in official documents of the Han Dynasty. Because it was a font created by Sima Qian, this calligraphy font was called Sima style. And because it was a commonly used font for official documents, it was also called Diange style.
"I sent an order to Shangguan Jie, ordering him to monitor the movements of the Xiongnu army at all times. If there is any sign of retreat or civil strife, let him choose the opportunity to fight. On the day when the order comes, he will switch from defense to offense." Half a month after the lunar eclipse, Huo Guang was not there. After receiving any news from the grassland, they made a strategic plan to directly turn the Shangguan Jie Army in the north from defense to offense.
In this era, even though Huo Guang attached great importance to message transmission, it was almost impossible to transmit the message from the Xiongnu court to Chang'an in just a few days. So he has not yet received the news that Wu Ya has ascended the throne as the Queen of the Huns, but Huo Guang believes that this has already happened!
"In addition, the two counties of Bashu were ordered to mobilize large and small ships to stand by in Chengdu. They ordered the Jianghuai area to build sea-crossing buildings. They named Zhonglang General Wang Yuanyou as General Yangwu. He led 30,000 soldiers from Shu County along with grain and grass along the river to Jianghuai, and then transferred to the Jianghuai River. Cross the sea to North Korea by building a ship and attack Wangxian City again." Huo Guang's voice continued to echo in the Wutai Hall. In addition to the northern army turning from defense to offense, he also once again took away the troops and food from Shu County and launched another expedition to North Korea via waterways. The target was the North Korean royal city that Yang Pu failed to capture.
The two counties of Bashu in the southwest are still the most prosperous counties in the Han Dynasty today. Together with the seizure of materials from the southwest barbarians and the re-opening of the ancient silk-tea road, the southwest battlefield of the Han Empire not only did not consume the national power of the Han Dynasty, but also allowed Wang Yuanyou's army to reach The purpose of using war to support war. After the baptism of the southwest battlefield and Wang Yuanyou's training, the 60,000 Bashu Jianwei soldiers can now be regarded as truly elite. As the commander of the southwest battlefield, Wang Yuanyou became another leader of the Han Empire in this battle. A shining star.
Sima Qian wrote as fast as he could, and when Huo Guang finished speaking, the military order he drafted was also completed. In Sima Qian's writing, this is not only a general order of the Han Empire, but also a rare calligraphy work. Now it is difficult to find Sima Qian's calligraphy in Chang'an City.
"Another order to King Liang, after the autumn harvest, switch from defense to offense, and attack from east to west with Wang Yuanyou. Let's get rid of the pseudo-guard king of Youzhou first!" Huo Guang gave the last order, which was about the Youzhou front.
For another month, Wei Youqu failed to capture Guangcheng. Then the 100,000 troops of Liang Wang Liu Xiang and Zichuan Prince Liu Kang reinforced Guangcheng. After several months, Wei Youqu failed to make any further progress. . However, this Wei Youqu is not too ambitious. He knows that he has insufficient background after all. North Korea is so big and has such a large population. It is impossible for him to swallow up too much territory of the Han Dynasty in one go. So he established a so-called Wei in Youzhou. The descendants of the royal family became King Wei, and he began to manage the land of Youzhou in the name of King Wei.
And this so-called King Wei and the Kingdom of Wei were naturally not recognized by the Han Dynasty, so they were called the false King Wei.
"In addition, make three copies of these copies. One will be sent to Changle Palace, one will be handed over to His Highness Taisun, and the last one will be given to the imperial censor. There are many things that require your concerted efforts, so everyone can go about their business!" Huo Guang added. He ordered several more copies of these military orders to be copied and handed over to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jin, and Sang Hongyang.
After all, the first two are the nominal rulers of the Han Dynasty, and for example, to confer Wang Yuanyou as General Yangwu, the grandson needs to use the Han emperor's seal to be justified. As for the fronts in several directions of the Han Dynasty, except for the war between the northwest and Anxi, the other fronts will begin to turn from defense to offense. At this time, Sang Hongyang's logistical support is even more needed.?.
The fact that this war has been dragged on until now is not only due to Huo Guang's strategizing and advance deployment, but also to Sang Hongyang's logistical support. This is something that Huo Guang cannot erase.
When Huo Guang was the only one left in the Wutai Hall, he unfolded a piece of white paper on the desk in front of him, then picked up a pen and started writing on the paper seriously. Huo Guang's calligraphy is not as good as Sima Qian's, let alone calligraphy realm and self-contained. However, the majestic momentum contained in Huo Guang's calligraphy is unique in the world.
Huo Guang quickly wrote the content, and then he took out a gold seal from his pocket that he had never used before. He rubbed the gold seal with cinnabar, and then stamped it heavily on the lower left corner of the paper. After doing all this, Huo Guang solemnly rolled up the paper and hurried to Changle Palace.
"Your Majesty, the general wants to see you." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still sitting in the rocking chair under the crabapple tree. Now that the Begonia flower has failed, the ground is covered with petals and leaves. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not allow the palace officials to clean it, so he just allowed the petals and leaves to wither on the ground.
"Please come over, general." Liu Che said slowly. On the surface, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still seemed very polite to this general who once forced him to marry him.
Soon Huo Guang came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still looking so leisurely, Huo Guang bowed from a distance and still performed all the due etiquette.
"Your Majesty, Huo Guang, pays homage to your Majesty." Huo Guang, who was only a foot away, bowed and paid homage.
"General, no courtesy. The general just sent a few military orders in the morning. Since he has decided to launch a full-scale counterattack, the general must be very busy. What do you mean by this?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tilted his head slightly on the rocking chair. He turned around and looked at Huo Guang curiously.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already known about Huo Guang's arrangements and the appointment of Wang Yuanyou as General Yangwu an hour ago. Although it is still unknown why Huo Guang made the troops in the north and Youzhou prepare to start a counterattack, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that since Huo Guang did this, it was already a sure thing.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly discovered that in less than half a year, it seemed that Huo Guang had done nothing, but he had unknowingly brought about a comeback to the Han Empire, which was already hanging by a thread. Now it was even more inexplicable. It¡¯s time to start switching from defense to offense.
"I am here to congratulate Your Majesty. The Uwei army of the Xiongnu and the army of Youzhou Guarding Youqu are no longer a concern. In less than two months, the lost territory of Youzhou and Shuofang will be returned to the Han Dynasty, and the country of Korea will no longer exist. The Xiongnu Will completely surrender to the Han Dynasty. The country of Han Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Xiaowu will reach its most glorious peak." Huo Guang took a few steps forward and continued to bow slightly. In the end, he once again said the posthumous title that had long been recognized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
His words seemed to be eloquent, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed a look of surprise on his face, and finally turned into disbelief. However, Huo Guang mentioned his posthumous title again, which made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not care much!
"Destroy Korea and surrender to the Xiongnu forever. Such unprecedented achievements, your Majesty will definitely carry them forward forever" Ignoring the shock of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang said to himself, as if the right guard who occupied Youzhou It has been destroyed, and the Huns army that ravaged Shuofang and Bingzhou has disappeared
