my brother champion

After receiving the decree, Huo Guang followed the people in the palace, left the General's Mansion, and rode a big black horse all the way to the South Day Camp.

now.

The soldiers and horses allocated to Huo Guang in the South Camp have already lined up and are welcoming Huo Guang's arrival.

The first army of the Han Dynasty had a strength of about 5000 people.

When Huo Guang arrived, the five thousand soldiers shouted overwhelmingly: "Welcome General Chariot!"

Huo Guang frowned slightly, not knowing what to say.

At this time.

The eunuch who came from the palace said to Huo Guang: "Marquis Bo Lu, are you satisfied with this scene?"

"Um"

Huo Guang snorted from his throat, not even bothering to open his mouth.

Hearing Huo Guang's snort, the eunuch from the palace immediately said, "Since Bo Luhou is satisfied, please put on the general's armor?"

Done.

The eunuch gave the person behind him a look.

immediately.

The exclusive armor of the chariot general was brought up.

Huo Guang nodded, then went to the tent and changed the armor.

After coming out.

The eunuch immediately flattered him and said, "Hey, Marquis Bo Lu wears this armor, it's really majestic, he has the demeanor of a hussar general and a great Sima."

Grace
The corner of Huo Guang's mouth twitched, and then he said, "What else should I do next?"

The eunuch said this time: "Marquis Bo Lu, it's time!"

talking.

The eunuch took out wooden cards and said to Huo Guang, "These are all good captains of Nan Daying, whoever Bo Luhou wants to order, just order him!"

Du Wei is actually the school captain.

However, compared to the captain, the captain is a little more free.

Huo Guang randomly selected four captains, and the last spot was reserved for Lin Yaoqing.

But the problem is.

Huo Guang didn't see Lin Yaoqing's name on the roster, so he asked, "I want to name a captain, why isn't his name on it?"

When the eunuch heard the words, he said, "Bo Luhou said who is next, I'll check it out for you."

"Captain Lin Yaoqing!"

Hearing Huo Guang's words, the eunuch nodded.

immediately.

The people under him went to investigate, and soon, Fang Fang came back and said: "Report to Bo Luhou, Lin Yaoqing is the deputy captain, and he is not on the roster."

"Deputy captain?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows and asked, "This Marquis can directly promote him to captain, do you think it's okay?"

When the eunuch heard the words, he immediately replied: "You can."

immediately.

Lin Yaoqing was brought here.

Huo Guang glanced at Lin Yaoqing, nodded to him, and then began to review the five thousand soldiers on the school field.

among these soldiers.

Half of them are veterans who have experienced the Battle of Mobei.

The other half are newly recruited soldiers.

In this regard.

Huo Guang was quite satisfied.

After finishing these, Huo Guang and the five thousand soldiers under his management will have a preliminary understanding of each other.Afterwards, without too long a delay, they set off directly from the Southern Daying camp and headed towards Xiliang.

Xiliang.

Also known as Liangzhou.

It was the ancient name of Yongzhou that was changed, as for the person who changed its name.

There is no doubt that he is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.About eight or nine years ago, in 126 AD, it was changed to Liangzhou.

Why change its name to Liangzhou?
It is said that among the five elements, Yongzhou belongs to the location of the gold line, and the land is cold, so it was renamed Liangzhou.

This piece of land is located in Hexi.

At the beginning, the Huns had touched Liangzhou many times.

but.

His wise and powerful elder brother Huo Qubing won two great victories in the Battle of Hexi, so the Huns have not touched this land for many years.

The army set off from Nandaying to Liangzhou.

Because it is marching west of the city.

Just passing the Huo Guang Paper Industrial Park on the road, they stopped.The army continued to advance, and he himself rode to the horse farm.

Dong Xun is still in charge of guarding the racecourse here.

After the two met.

Huo Guang jumped off the big black horse, looked at Dong Xun's gradually growing face, Huo Guang smiled, and said, "Are you tired?"

Dong Xun shook his head, and then asked again: "Your armor?"

"Armor?" Huo Guang looked down at himself, then, he stretched out his arms, showed them to Dong Xun, and asked, "Do you think my cavalry general's armor is handsome?"

Dong Xun frowned and said, "What does handsome mean?"

"Uh means prestige, which means a good combination of the two." Huo Guang said lightly.

At this moment.

Dong Xun nodded, looked up at Huo Guang, and said, "Huo Guang, I haven't seen you for a while, you're so tall, you're already a head taller."

"Woooooo."

"Why don't I grow up!"

Seeing Dong Xun's pitiful little appearance, Huo Guang stroked her hair with his hand and said, "You are not short among girls, you are tall."

Dong Xun's height is estimated to be around 1.6 meters five.

And Huo Guang's height is already 1.8 meters.

According to the Western Han Dynasty, it should be more than eight feet tall.Now Huo Guang is only 15 years old. If he continues to grow in the future, he may reach more than nine feet, the same height as Confucius.

but.

Some people have passed the rapid growth period, and then they will not grow.

Huo Guang didn't know if he would grow taller after he was 15 years old.

Dong Xun shook his head and said, "I hate it, it messes up people's hair again. I'm not a puppy, why are you always touching my head?"

Huo Guang shrugged and said, "Okay, I won't say much, I'm going to take the army with me."

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Dong Xun felt disappointed and asked, "Where are you going?"

"There is some turmoil in Liangzhou. It may be due to the influence of the Huns, or it may be caused by the severe drought in the past few years. Bandits and bandits are rampant. Your Majesty named me General Chariot and Cavalry, and led an army to quell them." Huo Guang explained.

The words fall.

He mounted his horse again.

At this time.

Dong Xun walked up to the big black horse, smoothed the smooth and shiny hair on its head, and said, "Da Hei, you must bring Huo Guangping back!"

Huo Guang rode on the horse, stepped on the stirrups, bent down, approached Dong Xun, and said with a smile: "Hey, little girl, you are wrong, it should be the general who rode him back safely."

"Hahaha."

"gone!"

The words fall.

Huo Guang rode away, leaving Dong Xun with a handsome back on horseback.

soon.

He joined forces with the marching troops ahead, and since these five thousand soldiers were infantry, the marching speed was not very fast.

In the Battle of Mobei, tens of thousands of horses from the South Camp were lost in the charge of the Huns cavalry.

That battle.

The most serious thing is not the loss of soldiers, but the painstakingly cultivated war horses, which lost two-thirds.

This made it difficult for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight against the Xiongnu in the later period, as in the Battle of Mobei, where the number of war horses was sufficient.

Now Huo Guang is leading an army from the Nan Daying Camp to Liangzhou to exterminate the bandits, not against those Xiongnu cavalry.Therefore, only infantry was allocated to him by the imperial court.

The distance between Chang'an and Liangzhou is not too far. In one day, the army has already marched to Anding County, and then entered Wuwei County from Anding County, where they rested for a while.

Huo Guang's [-] troops were dispatched by the imperial court. As soon as they entered Liangzhou, the prefect of Wuwei County must have known about them and treated them immediately.

The next day.

After resting all night, Huo Guang wanted to lead the army out.

At this moment.

The prefect of Wuwei County told him that the governor of Liangzhou was coming today, which made Huo Guang continue to lead the army to march without dawn.

If the county is regarded as a modern city, the state is regarded as a province.

Then.

The prefect is equivalent to the mayor, and the governor is today's high-ranking official.

As soon as the governor arrives.

Huo Guang glanced at him and asked directly, "Are you the governor of Liangzhou?"

The governor replied: "Bo Luhou, next is Zhou Bo, the governor of Liangzhou!"

Being able to sit in the position of the governor shows that he is also a person with some skills.

Huo Guang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and asked calmly: "Since you are the governor of Liangzhou, then Benhou will not beat around the bush. Let me ask you directly, why is there such a serious turmoil in Dunhuang County? "

Zhou Bo, governor of Liangzhou, said, "General Huo, I don't even think about what happened in Dunhuang County."

"There was a severe drought in the past few years, the crops were not harvested, and the people were displaced."

"A few years ago, the Huns invaded southward, not to mention Dunhuang, and even the people in Wuwei County had no fixed place to live."

"These people can't live and work in peace and contentment, but if they want to live, they will naturally become bandits."

Hear this.

Huo Guang frowned immediately, and scolded: "Inspector Zhou, it doesn't matter if you say this in front of me. If it reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm worried about your head."

"During the severe drought three years ago, the imperial court allocated a lot of funds."

"That money is enough to keep the people of your state fed. If there is food, why would they still be thieves?"

After hearing Huo Guang's words, the governor of Liangzhou looked sad and said, "Bo Luhou lives in Chang'an, so I don't know anything about it."

"Food prices after the drought have been rising day by day."

"What's more, far away water can't quench near thirst."

"The appropriation of funds by the imperial court needs approval, the transfer of funds needs approval, the money needs approval, and the use of money to buy food needs approval."

"By the time the grain is bought and delivered, the drought will be almost over halfway."

"The people of my Liangzhou, how can they have so much rations to last until the food arrives later?"

Hearing this, Huo Guang frowned slightly.

he thought.

The so-called approval is not just playing football between various departments in modern society, right?

but.

Soon Huo Guang shook his head, and said, "Inspector Zhou, what you said is wrong, right? The drought happened, and it's a special matter, so how can you make things difficult!"

However, the governor of Liangzhou shook his head and said: "General, the governor didn't say it was difficult, it was approved because of a special case."

"If it's not something special."

"It is estimated that they will not be approved."

Huo Guang glanced at Zhou Bo, governor of Liangzhou, slightly raised the eyebrow of his left eye, and asked: "For the disaster relief money three years ago, no officials in Liangzhou have been corrupted?"

Hearing this, Zhou Bo immediately swore: "This governor swears to God, there is no official in Liangzhou who is greedy for this money without conscience!"

The voice fell.

Suddenly a bright light flashed, and soon, a violent roar sounded in the sky.

"Boom~"

There was thunder in the sky.

Huo Guang looked at the Governor of Liangzhou, grinned slightly, and said, "There are so many officials in Liangzhou, no matter how capable you are, Governor Zhou, how can you be sure that none of the officials have been greedy for money?"

"and also."

"On a rainy day, it's better not to swear carelessly."

Zhou Bo, governor of Liangzhou, heard the words, and immediately changed his words: "The officials below, the governor, have checked everything, and really haven't found any corruption or perversion of the law."

"Don't talk about those petty officials."

"Anyway, the officials have never done this."

Officials refer to officials.

petty official.

It is those small law enforcement officers who can't be smaller, like some later generations of policemen and government servants, all belonged to small officials in the Han Dynasty.

Ok.

That's right.

Huo Guang's father, Huo Zhongru, was a petty official.

these people.

Huo Guang would still believe you if you said you took one or two extra bags of rice.

You say they are greedy?Hehe, what can they be greedy for?They don't even have access to disaster relief money, they're greedy!

In the sky, there is still lightning and thunder.

Huo Guang stretched out his hand to interrupt the nagging governor of Liangzhou, and then asked, "Okay, I will not ask about money matters for the time being."

"Now, can you report to me the situation of the bandits in the northwest?"

Hearing this, Zhou Bo immediately pulled someone beside him and said, "General, you can ask Liu Bei, the prefect of Dunhuang County, about this matter."

"Wait, Liu Liubei?" Huo Guang's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Bo immediately said, "Don't misunderstand, General. His surname is Liu, but he has little to do with the imperial family. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the prefect of a place like Dunhuang."

It is clear.

Zhou Bo, governor of Liangzhou, thought he had mistook the governor of Dunhuang for someone from the royal family.

in fact.

Huo Guang had been living in Chang'an before, and he had seen the royal surname Liu a long time ago, so he wouldn't make such a fuss.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che met countless times, even if he was a member of the royal family with the surname Liu, it would not make Huo Guang look like this.

Mainly because I heard the word Liu Bei for the first time.

This had to remind him of a certain emperor's uncle in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The population of the Han Dynasty was not large.

But one very interesting thing is that there are too many people with the same name and surname.

Taking the Liu surname as an example, as far as those princely heirs have the same name and surname, I don’t know how many there are.

Under the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, those princes were busy making people every day.

There are too many man-made ones, and it takes a lot of effort to name them. Like some heirs who are not in power, they basically choose a name at random, and they don't bother to check whether other princely heirs have taken this name.

If you time travel as Liu Xun, you were born in a poor family and lived in exile.The family never tells you about the royal family, do you think that you are the future Emperor Xiaoxuan?

will not!

Because there are too many heirs of princes with the same name and surname as you in the same period.

If you catch King Jing of Zhongshan, that is, the ancestor of Liu Bei, you can grab a lot of them.

After figuring this out, Huo Guang no longer entangled in the matter of whether this Liu Bei is not that Liu Bei.

Just looking at the prefect of Dunhuang County, Huo Guang was a little curious, so he asked in a deep voice: "Since you are the prefect of Dunhuang, you should stay in Dunhuang County, why did you come to Wuwei County?"

Dunhuang County is the place where the rogues caused troubles in the Northwest.

Because at this time, the Protectorate of the Western Regions had not yet belonged to the Han Dynasty.

and so.

Dunhuang County is undoubtedly the frontier of the Han Dynasty.

The frontier area is bitter and chaotic.

It is normal for bandits to breed.But because of the turmoil of the bandits, the prefect of Dunhuang County should sit and guard Dunhuang, so why is he still running around?

At this time.

The prefect of Dunhuang County gave the answer.

"General Huo, Dunhuang County has been lost. Eighteen rogue bandits joined forces to occupy Dunhuang. I, the prefect, escaped in a panic!" (End of this chapter)
