    In the Anyang Palace of Dunhuang, in King Anyang's study, Huo Tang placed a roll of brocade on the desk, and there was a piece of paper letter in her other hand.

    "This is the emperor's edict. Here are the emperor's recent arrangements for the court and the border. I don't know which one my second brother would like to read first?" Huo Tang looked at Huo Guang with a strange expression. Even if the entire Anyang Kingdom  From the queen to the common people, everyone calls Huo Guang the king or his highness, but Huo Tang still calls him second brother in private.

    "Let's first talk about the emperor's arrangements for the central court and the border." Huo Guang just glanced at the brocade edict and letterhead, but did not go to get it himself.

    After hearing this, Huo Tang unfolded the letter in his hand and put it on the desk. The handwriting was facing the direction of Huo Guang, and then he said: "Our Marquis Yangwu is doing great things now. Not only was he named the General of the Great Sima Zhenjun by the emperor, he was also  I have recognized my relationship with Queen Wang, and now Marquis Yangwu is a true relative of the emperor."

    "Wang Yuanyou has the style of a famous general, and the emperor has a good understanding of people when he reuses him. The queen's recognition of relatives is really a good chess move, which even Gu did not expect." Regarding Wang Yuanyou and Wang Wengxu's recognition of relatives.  , Huo Guang was a little surprised when he heard it, and at the same time he admired the emperor's move.

    "Huh, it's not like the second brother suffered the consequences. He brought Wang Yuanyou directly to Anyang Kingdom that day. At that time, he would definitely follow the second brother without hesitation. Now, he gave the emperor a general for nothing. The second brother knew that Wang Yuanyou originally had tens of thousands of people under his command.  Where is the army now?" Huo Tang said to Huo Guang with some dissatisfaction. She had never figured out why her brother left Su Wu, Wang Yuanyou and others with the emperor.

    "Where?" Huo Guang asked casually.

    "Anding County" Huo Tang replied word for word, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.

    Anding County is only separated from Wuwei County in Hexi Province by a river.  At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at most asked Li Guangli to station troops on the right and Fufeng, but he did not directly station troops to stabilize the situation with such obvious intentions.

    "Oh? No need to defend the northern border counties?" Huo Guang was also slightly surprised. He knew that there were not many troops at the center of the Han Dynasty at present.

    When Huo Guang left Chang'an, You Fufeng also had the 70,000 to 80,000 troops brought back by Shangguan Jie. When Huo Guang's 80,000 cavalry returned to Juyanze, Wang Yuanyou deployed 30,000 elite troops from Shu County on the northern defense line. As for Liang  The troops of the State and the Zichuan State naturally returned to their own countries.  Later, Liu Jin implemented the strategy of recuperation and disbanded 30,000 You Fufeng's army again, and all the rest were transferred to the north under the command of Marquis Yangwu.  This army of nearly 80,000 people has become the only standing army of the Han Dynasty. After several battles and Wang Yuanyou's training, it is still a truly elite force, and its foot combat is even more powerful in ancient and modern times.  Not yet.

    "There are only 20,000 elite troops left in Yunzhong Shuofang and other counties in the north, all of which are led by Wang Yuanyou's confidants. These people were the first lieutenants under him when he was the captain of Youfu. The other 60,000 troops are all stationed in Anding and Yang Wuhou  He is still the supreme commander of this army. And the area north of the Great Wall in Yunzhong, Shuofang, has now become the pasture of Erchanyu. This is a strategy called "Hu people stationed on the border" by the emperor. I guess you  Queen Wuya will also send news soon!"

    "The emperor accepted Wushilu's title of vassal? Damn let the barbarians station at the border? Who suggested this?" When he first heard that Marquis Yangwu had deployed tens of thousands of troops to defend Anding County, Huo Guang didn't pay much attention to it.  , but the last sentence, "Hu people are stationed at the border" made him furious and punched the table hard.

    "Tingwei Bingji" Huo Tang said lightly. She was unable to realize the far-reaching impact of the Hu people stationed on the border. Compared with this change that was not paid much attention by the world, she was more concerned about stabilizing the 60,000-strong army.

    "The barbarians stationed on the borderare really heroes of the Han Dynastya great benefactor of the emperor's family" Huo Guang sighed. He never thought that what he emphasized repeatedly would be destroyed in the end.  In the hands of Ji, Liu's benefactor.

    "Forget itthe left side of the Xiongnu has migrated, and things have become irreversible. Send an order to Wu Ya and let her bring the army to Dunhuang. I'm afraid there will be two groups of northern and southern Xiongnu in the future!" Huo Guang sighed and said  , he knew that once the emperor accepted Wushilu as his vassal, Wuya would not be able to directly attack the left side of the Xiongnu.

    And all this is just as Huo Guang said, for a long time in the future, the Huns will indeed form two parts, the north and the south. The northern Huns are relatively independent and a independent country. The successive popes are the queens of the northern Huns.  The Southern Xiongnu, adjacent to the north of the Han Dynasty, became a foreign vassal state of the Han Empire. They were still ruled by the Chanyu, and while gradually accepting Han culture, they gradually evolved into a half-pastoral and half-farming civilization.  The northern and southern Xiongnu have been at war with each other for a long time, which is known as the North-South Xiongnu War in history.

    "Second brother, let's take a look at this edict. Does it have something to do with him? My sister congratulates me first!" Huo Tang looked at Huo Guang with a strange look on his face and pushed the brocade edict on the table forward. This time  She didn't plan to tell Huo Guang directly.But Huo Guang needs to read the content himself.

    "Why are you so happy?" Huo Guang also picked up the edict with some curiosity, muttered something in his mouth, then unfolded the edict and read it.

    Huo Tang did not continue to answer, but looked at Huo Guang with a smile, and Huo Guang's face changed extremely wonderfully when he looked at the edict.

    "What nonsense Are they so worried about Xinggu?" Huo Guang put down the edict, his expression a little ugly, but more of a disappointment.  This is exactly the edict given by Liu Jin to marry the eldest princess of Jiangdu to King Anyang.

    "From my younger sister's point of view, this is probably the masterpiece of your favorite disciple Liu Xijun. The second brother is quite lucky" Huo Tang said in a strange tone. She guessed that this was Liu Xijun right away.  Come up with it.  When Huo Guang was the governor of the Western Regions, Liu Xijun often went to the Hou Mansion to inquire about Huo Guang, and often asked Huo Tang some questions. Huo Tang even knew more about Liu Xijun than Huo Guang.  Huo Tang had long discovered that although Liu Xijun concealed himself very well, he paid too much attention to Huo Guang.

    "I didn't expectshe would not be able to escape the fate of getting married after all." Huo Guang said with some emotion. Because of his relationship, Liu Xijun changed her original fate of getting married to Wusun, but in the end, fate still let her take the path of marrying Wusun.  On the road to marriage, the marriage partner became Huo Guang.

    "This is different. This is her own choice. Moreover, as she is the eldest princess, only the second brother in the world is qualified to marry her. Maybe the little girl is still happy?" Huo Tang seemed to be able to do it.  He understood Liu Xijun's thoughts, and there was a hint of envy in his expression.

    "Since the eldest princess is already on the way, let's prepare the etiquette for marrying the princess." Huo Guang put down the edict. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy. He just gave a faint order. He also admitted to marrying Liu Xijun.  As a minister of the Han Dynasty, he still had to take into account the emperor's face when it came to many matters, so things became a fact once the edict was issued.

    Outside the west gate of Chang'an, a huge ceremonial guard marched slowly westward. This was the procession for the wedding of the eldest princess of Jiangdu.  Driving in a gorgeous car, Liu Xijun was dressed in a rich dress. She held a handmade Ruan in her arms and looked through the car curtain to the distant west. It seemed that there was some expectation in her eyes.

    The eldest princess¡¯s honor guard marched very slowly. When her huge honor guard crossed the river and set foot on the land west of Hexi, the Queen of the Northern Huns had already arrived at Dunhuang with 50,000 fine cavalry.

    Without any welcome or ceremonial guard to clear the way, Wuya, Queen of the Northern Huns, walked into the Anyang Palace with a seven or eight-year-old little girl. No one stopped or greeted her, just like ordinary people returning home.  Huo Guang, the king of Anyang, met the Queen of the Northern Huns directly in the garden of the palace and beside the Crescent Moon Spring.

    "Nianjun, why don't you pay your respects to His Highness Prince Anyang?" Wu Ya took the hand of the little girl behind her and motioned for her to pay her respects to Huo Guang.

    "My maid, Nian Jun, pays homage to the king." The little girl was a little timid, but after Wu Ya's reminder, she still had the courage to bow to Huo Guang. The pink and jade-like girl also used standard Han etiquette and standard  Chinese.

    "Nianjun? Who is she?" Huo Guang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the little girl's name.  He carefully looked at the little girl in front of him. Fortunately, the little girl had a standard Huns appearance and did not have any Han characteristics. This made Huo Guang slightly relieved.

    "Haha, Your Highness seems a little scared? Don't worry She is a Hun child. Her parents died due to the war. I raised her. Now she is a saint of the Moon Worship Cult and will also be the successor.  The Queen of the Northern Huns after me." Wu Ya saw the change in Huo Guang's expression and a proud smile appeared on her face.  But after the joke, she solemnly introduced the little girl named Nian Jun.

    "I seeit seems that you have already thought about the path that the Northern Huns will take in the future!" Huo Guang breathed a sigh of relief, but he could only think about Wu Ya giving this little girl such a name.  He smiled bitterly in his heart.

    Huo Ye has never thought about how to solve the problem of the inheritance of the rule of the Northern Huns. Now Wuya has brought this little girl named Nianjun to see him. It seems that she has already thought of the future path of the Northern Huns.

    "Your Highness, please take a look at this." Wu Ya smiled, took out a book from her arms and handed it to Huo Guang.

    Huo Guang was slightly startled after taking the book. This was exactly the plan he wrote for Wu Ya two years ago after Luo Xia Hong calculated the lunar eclipse, a plan to build a country through education.

    The book is still the same book, and even the main content is still written by Huo Guang, but there are more small print annotations in many places, and in the second half of the book, there are lines of text written in Wu Ya's calligraphy.

    Huo Guang looked at the extra handwriting. He didn't need to read the original content, he just needed to know Wu Ya's thoughts.  While Huo Guang was flipping through the pages, Wu Ya's voice sounded beside Huo Guang.

      "I have revised the doctrine. Under me, the pope, there is also a saint. This saint is selected by each pope when he succeeds to the throne. Since she becomes a saint, she needs to come to Anyang Kingdom.  Serve Painsti, and when the previous pope is about to die, the saint will be welcomed back to the Huns to become the new pope, and will automatically become the Queen of the Huns."

    "Painsti? What does this mean?" Huo Guang closed the book. He found that except for the relatively simple teachings, he didn't understand much about other things. It would be easier to just listen to what Wu Ya said.

    "Of course it's you, Your Highness, the King of the Gods!" Wu Ya walked up to Huo Guang. The two were no more than three feet apart. Wu Ya bowed slightly to Huo Guang and lowered her head. Her bun was almost touching Huo Guang's.  chest.

    Huo Guang probably understood what teachings Wu Ya had modified, which was nothing more than adding another being called Painsti to the teachings.  Regardless of whether this so-called King of Gods exists or not, once it is recognized in fanatical religions, then what does not exist will also exist. Even these fanatical believers will not doubt where the saints in the religion live.  Not to mention that there will be no dissatisfaction because the saint is not in the Huns. This is the difference of religious regimes!

    Wu Ya is no longer young, she is even as old as Huo Guang. A woman who is nearly forty years old has long passed her prime, and even her charm is not suitable to describe Wu Ya, but she has the qualities of a queen.  The unique noble temperament is not possessed by other women of this era.

    "You mean to let Nianjun live in the palace? What a different kind of marriage Let her follow the prince from now on." Huo Guang stretched out his hand to help Wu Ya, and then glanced at Nianjun.  Little Hun girl.

    Huo Guang could see that Wu Ya let the Hun Saint live in Anyang Palace since she was a child, which was an alternative way of marriage.  This is not that Wu Ya is really loyal to him or to the Anyang Kingdom, but in Wu Ya's plan, if this continues, a certain generation of Anyang King may even be a descendant of the Hun Saint.  The inheritance of the Queen of the Huns is not based on blood. In this way, the Huns are still Huns, and King Anyang is very likely to become the son of the Queen of the Huns in a certain generation.

    This is a not-so-secret layout, but even if Huo Guang knows it, he still has to accept this method, because the Anyang Kingdom can also use this method to control the power of the Northern Huns from generation to generation.  Whether you raise the Hun Saint as a daughter or as a woman, you can continue to control the Northern Huns after the Saint succeeds to the throne in the future.

    Huo Guang of this generation can make Wu Ya loyal, but when Wu Ya dies and Huo Guang is gone, Anyang Kingdom will completely cut off contact with the Northern Huns. It will be good to be friends with each other by then, but there is no way to be like now.  Tens of thousands of Northern Huns cavalry could be mobilized according to King Anyang's will.

    Huo Guang no longer needed to cultivate a relationship with this little girl named Nian Jun, so he directly let Nian Jun and Huo An live together.  Because the two children are similar in age, whether they develop a brother-sister relationship or a husband-wife relationship in the future, it will be a good thing for Anyang Kingdom to continue to control the Northern Huns.

    As for whether the Northern Xiongnu will continue to be a vassal in the future, or Anyang will become a vassal of the Northern Xiongnu, Huo Guang doesn't care much. He believes that as long as his descendants are wise, he can naturally ensure the prosperity of his family and country. If the descendants are ignorant, even without the Northern Xiongnu,  This country and family cannot survive, and those things are beyond Huo Guang's control!

    This is actually a mutual calculation and a big gamble with artificial bets for the future.

    "I heard that His Highness is about to marry the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty. Isn't it possible that I can stay and drink His Highness's wedding wine?" Wu Ya saw that Huo Guang had agreed, but suddenly a strange look appeared on her face, and she mentioned a few things.  During the future marriage, Huo Guang found that Wu Ya's expression was somewhat similar to Huo Tang's.

    "It's just another political marriage You can stay here as long as you want!" Huo Guang smiled softly and said indifferently.
