"If after my death, the Liu family is incompetent, the descendants of the Huo family can take their place. If the descendants of the Huo family are ignorant and the people of Anyang are in disbelief, they can raise the Han flag and return eastward. This can be regarded as my last edict" Huo Guang was silent. After a long pause, he slowly spoke out.
"Little sister, I understand." Huo Tang nodded, not feeling anything wrong because Huo Guang made his will so early.
Huo Guang's army continued westward, and Bai Zheng also led 30,000 cavalry from Lucheng south to attack Hyderabad and other places. A year later, Huo Guang's army had advanced to Mulu City, and behind him a territory of nearly three million square kilometers had been formed. Within a year, the Western Regions had been completely included in the rule, and even with the efforts of Du Yannian and others, Chineseization had initially been completed. The only thing lacking now is time. As long as there is enough time to develop a large population, this huge territory will become a world completely dominated by Han culture.
On the other hand, Bai Zheng, with the cooperation of the Yuhou of the Kushan Empire, has completely occupied Hyderabad and other places, and connected this area with the Western Region. A large number of Hyderabad mines were mined and smelted, and weapons were continuously manufactured directly from here and shipped to the battlefield. With the mass production of Hanyang steel weapons, Huo Guang even traded some of the defective or inferior products to the Kushan Empire and Rome.
After the Kushan Empire updated some of its weapons and cooperated with Bai Zheng's tens of thousands of cavalry, war soon broke out in the Indian subcontinent. After several years of war, the entire South Asia region was ruled by the Kushan Empire. Sulla's legions finally captured Ctesiphon, the capital of Parthia, forcing Mithridates II, the King of Kings, to move the capital to Apameia on the south coast of the Caspian Sea.
On the battlefield on the eastern front, Huo Guang's army also defeated the Parthian Prime Minister Ourobazo. In the third year of the war, Huo Guang successfully captured Sucia, an important town in the eastern part of the Parthian Empire.
The Parthian Empire, which once spanned the Eurasian continent and occupied the most fertile land, was attacked by the three kingdoms of Rome, Kushan and Anyang. After five years of war, most of its territory was lost and a large number of states were completely destroyed. wipe out. In the end, Mithridates II, the king of kings, also died in sorrow and anger. By this time, all that was left of this once huge empire was a narrow strip of land stretching from the city of Apameia on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea to Persepolis near the Arabian Sea.
However, after Sulla occupied a large area west of the Caspian Sea and the Arabian Sea, Huo Guang occupied the land east of Susia, and the Kushan Empire occupied the South Asian continent south of Tra, the three parties stopped their offensive with a tacit understanding, and Begin to focus on digesting and occupying territory.
Just when the three parties suspended the war, the Prime Minister of the Parthian Empire, Ourobazo, simultaneously issued an armistice agreement to the leaders of the three parties and proposed a four-party meeting in Apameia. Parthia officially acknowledged its defeat and agreed with the status quo. territory of influence.
When the nobles of the Parthian Empire thought that they were at the end of their rope, they did not believe that Prime Minister Ourobazo could save Parthia from destruction with this agreement. But the result of the matter was really unexpected. Almost at the same time, both Sulla, Huo Guang, and even the emperor of the Kushan Empire agreed to Eurobazo's proposal and decided to go to Apameia City in person.
In the palace of King Anyang in Susia City, Huo Guang publicly announced the news that the four parties would form an alliance in Apameia City.
"Your Majesty, seeing that Anxi is about to be destroyed, why don't we continue to attack, and the other two countries are actually willing to maintain the status quo?" Li Ling asked in confusion that most people had doubts.
"We can perish and rest in peace if we continue to fight, but at the same time we will be completely bordered by Rome and Kushan. This is not a good thing. Moreover, the territory is too vast and there are so many foreigners that are not conducive to rule. This is not only a lonely Thinking about it, Sulla and Emperor Kushan also realized this. So it is in our interests to stay in Anxi." Huo Guang gave a simple explanation.
It is true that the territory of their tripartite alliance is too vast now, but the population has not reached the number to completely rule such a huge territory. In addition, the Parthian Empire has a large population. If these people are included in the rule, it will be a hidden danger.
This is like, when the digestive capacity is limited, those delicious foods can only be swallowed slowly, and they cannot be eaten in the stomach even if they are seen in front of you.
"How many troops will the king need to bring with him when he goes to Apameia?" Bai Zheng asked. He has arrived from Hyderabad to Susia, which has become the rear of Anyang Kingdom. There is no need for this capable commander under Huo Guang to stay there.
"Thirty thousand fine cavalry can be used as you like. Mr. Dayuan and I will go, and the others will stay in Sucia and listen to Lord Wu'an's orders." Huo Guang made a simple deployment and only brought Huo Tang and 30,000 fine cavalry.
"Tang Mei, let the queen and others prepare. After the Apameia Agreement is signed, let them set off. I promised"They, I want to take them to see a different scenery in this world, Sula also extended an invitation to me, the Mediterranean style is so fascinating" After the generals left, Huo Guang went to Huo Tang gave some instructions. This time it was not a military event, but a complete enjoyment.
"After half a lifetime of exhaustion, it's not a waste of time to experience this beautiful world Do you want to take your princess with you?" Huo Tang also showed a relaxed smile on his face. This battle has been fought for five years, and more than half of her and Huo Guang's lives have been completed. At their age, there are not many five years left to survive.
"Tell her, if she is willing, let her come with you." Huo Guang didn't think much. He found that even the memory of Liu Xijun, the princess, was a little blurry in his mind, because they hadn't seen each other for five years, and it seemed that they were In Huo Guang's memory, Liu Xijun was still the timid little girl in Taixue's hometown.
A few months later, in the city of Apameia on the south coast of the Caspian Sea, Huo Guang finally met Sulla, whom he had known for a long time. Sula is no longer young now, and even looks older than Huo Guang. However, his aggressive and intelligent eyes make people think of lions and foxes at first sight, and Huo Guang still recognizes him at first sight. Out of him. At the same time, Huo Guang also saw his old rival Eurobazo and the emperor of the Kushan Empire.
This time Huo Guang only brought Huo Tang and 30,000 fine cavalry with him. Similarly, Sulla only brought Caesar and his chariot corps. Emperor Kushan only brought the Marquis of Yu and more than 20,000 emperor's guards. Without the feeling of soldiers approaching, there was no tense atmosphere in this meeting, and Ourobazo was like a hospitable host, giving the distinguished guests the most grand and solemn courtesy.
The Apameian Agreement was signed by four parties, but the three people who signed the agreement were not emperors. One was the dictator of the Roman Republic, the other was the Prime Minister of Parthia, and the third was the king of a Han vassal state. As a result, this agreement, which occupies an important position in history, has confused many historians in later generations.
When the Apameia Agreement was signed, the four countries completely entered a period of peace. Since then, there has been no war in Eurasia. Because of the peace agreement between the four countries, prosperous commerce across the Eurasian continent has arisen. This time it is not just It was not just one Silk Road, but several prosperous trade networks that crisscrossed the north, south, east and west and spread across almost every city in the mainland.
Since then, the world has been without war for a hundred years. After decades of development, the Anyang Kingdom has completely Chinese-controlled Central Asia to the east of Susia. Until the throne of King Anyang was passed to the third generation, Huo Guang's eldest grandson Huo Cheng, the Anyang Kingdom and the Han Dynasty still maintained the relationship of vassal and suzerainty. Starting from Huo Guang, every generation of Princess Anyang must be a Han Dynasty. The most noble princess.
As for the Han Dynasty, Liu Jin was a talented and strategic emperor. During his reign, he recreated the prosperous times of Wenjing's rule. Unfortunately, he was not a long-lived emperor and did not reign for more than fifty years like his grandfather, Emperor Xiaowu. He only reigned for less than twenty years before his death. However, his son Liu Xun also created a prosperous era with the assistance of Zhang Anshi, Su Wu, Huo Shen, Wang Yuanyou and other veterans. At the same time, Wang Yuanyou, the Marquis of Yangwu, became the Great Sima General, and the Wang family also became the first in the Han Dynasty. A large relative, followed closely by top families such as the Zhang family, the Su family, and the Sima family.
There were many intermarriages among several major aristocratic families, and gradually a political system in which the aristocratic families controlled the government was formed in the Han Empire¡ª¡ª

Postscript
I finally finished writing it, feeling a little reluctant and uncomfortable. Overall, I have no regrets. After all, this is a book that has been on hiatus for four years. I actually don¡¯t remember much of the plot of the book before it was 500,000 words long. Then keep writing, and you will have a clear conscience after finishing it!
It is precisely for this reason that there are many flaws and imperfections in the book, as well as loose loopholes. I am aware of these, but there is really no way to correct them later. Even the routines and writing style of four years ago seem a bit boring now.
The second half and ending of this book took a completely different path, because I don¡¯t even know the original outline setting and ending.
Although this book has huge twists and turns, the rewards are naturally huge. In addition to the gains in writing, it also makes a book about eunuchs that has been discontinued for many years, without guarantees of updates and completeness, still be read by hundreds of readers. Friends support me. To be honest, you contributed half of your efforts to finish this article. I won¡¯t thank you all here, saying too much and being sensational will make people feel hypocritical.
??The following is the key point, about the ending of this book and some hidden plots.
In fact, in the later period of this book, there is an important character line, that is, Yang Wuhou Wang Yuanyou. There is no such person in history. Perhaps some attentive book friends have discovered that when Huo Guang met him for the first time, I had mentioned it in my words in a vague way.??Wang Yuanyou is a suspected time traveler, so you can think of this book as a double time traveler.
Why set up such a person? Anyone who is familiar with history should know that the embroidered censor Wang He, Wang Yuanyou¡¯s younger brother in the book, is none other than Wang Zhengjun¡¯s grandfather. Speaking of this, everyone should have thought of another person, right? That's right, it's Wang Mang!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After hundreds of years of changes, all history will return to its original trajectory. This is not written out, it is the author¡¯s own idea!
Finally, let¡¯s talk about the problem of the protagonist. Later, some book friends responded, saying that the protagonist¡¯s personality has changed, and he is directly setting a trap for himself, which seems to be reaping the consequences. I think it's normal. The originally written Huo Guang was indeed perfect. He was affectionate and decisive, and even in the early stages, he had no plans left. But it is precisely this that makes me feel that the protagonist is too perfect, too perfect to be like an ordinary person.
From the perspective of the author and the reader, we can look at the entire world in the book from a God's perspective. However, even as a time traveler, the protagonist cannot have an insight into every detail, let alone cover everything. This is something that Huo Guang will also have in his later period in the book. The reason for the desperation. Of course, it is also possible that I have a good idea, but my writing power is not strong enough and the writing is not as effective as it should be.
That¡¯s it for this book, ¡°The Conquest of the Han Dynasty¡±. I¡¯m too lazy to write a separate chapter now, so I¡¯ll tell you about the new book below.
Regarding the new book, I already had it a few months ago when I came back to continue writing this book. Moreover, it is a fairy tale novel that has been continuously conceived in the past few years since I started writing it, and it even has a 70,000 to 80,000-word fairy novel. History and fairy tales are my two favorite types of writing, and there is no distinction between them. When I first started writing online articles, I wrote them because I felt that they were not enough to read.
I had high hopes for this fairy tale, which can be said to be the fairy tale in my heart, but later I decided to abandon this idea and continue writing a historical novel. At this time, I set up a purely historical novel based on the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, with Jun and Han of Hengyang as the protagonists, and a purely online novel.
?? Okay, let¡¯s start with this. The cover and other backgrounds have been built. Just a few days ago, I once again overturned this historical concept. Because I remembered again the idea I had when I was continuing to write the book "The Conquest of the Han Dynasty", which was to not forget my original intention.
Since you want to write, you have to write what you like and what you want to write. Why should you consider the size of the audience? So a new, bold idea sprouted in my mind. Since I like history and Xiaxia, why not combine history with Xiaxia?
?????????????? I like to write about history in niche time periods, and about fairy tales, I like classical fairy tales, the kind of fairy tales that are truly fairy-like and chivalrous. Not the kind of fake fairy who has lost his chivalry, is vulgar, thick-skinned, philistine, and is full of interests above strength!
Therefore, the new book is ultimately positioned as a classical fairy tale set in the Six Dynasties era and spanning hundreds of years. A fairy tale novel with "history as its skin and fairy tales as its bones". The background of this book is complicated, and it is not a simple upgrade and power model. It is destined to be difficult to write, and it is destined to be full of difficulties. It is destined not to be liked by many people, but I believe that even if it takes ten years, I will finish it!
¡°Perhaps such a fairy tale is just a dream, an unrealistic dream that only exists in our feelings. So I just want to see if I can weave this dream into reality just for the sake of emotion?
The new book is scheduled to be uploaded at the end of December, January 1st at the latest, and the cover title has been created in the background.
The following is the introduction to "The Legend of Immortals of Six Dynasties":
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the chaos of the Eight Kings of Jin, all the people in the Central Plains were wiped out. At this time, the heavenly secrets were in chaos and the barbarians moved inward. The Five Barbarians established the country and forced the Han people to move southward.
There is endless war and hatred between the country and the family. There are romances in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the love between children is long.
The uninhibited Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, the outspoken and free-spirited celebrities of Lanting. Those familiar names gathered in this chaotic and bright era.
"However, outside the history books, there are still immortal masters and great evil dragons. There are swordsmen who come in and out of Qingming, and there are ascetics who fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
Who is meeting? Wang Xizhi's writing turned the mountains upside down. Wherever Xie Xuan waved his hand, all the vegetation and trees were covered with soldiers. Fu Jian threw his whip to stop the flow while talking and laughing. Xie Daoyun wrote a poem about the snow, which was frozen thousands of miles away. Su Ruolan's "Xuanji Picture" was published, sealing the heaven and the earth.
The story begins at the end of the Three Kingdoms, when Wu and Zhou Dynasties eliminated the three evils and killed tigers and dragons
