Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 514 The emperor’s secret edict, the real reward [please vote]

There was a solemn atmosphere in front of the main hall of Ctesiphon Palace.

Dong Zhongshu held the imperial edict in his hand and read it loudly.

After Huo Qubing received the order, everyone walked towards the main hall of the palace.

The second secret edict brought by Liu Qing was not announced in public.

Dong Zhongshu and others came not just to deliver the order.

Accompanying Dong Zhongshu were officials at all levels under Jiu Qing's jurisdiction.

They came to map the mountain and river geography of Parthia, count the population, cities, the output of various places, etc.

After doing this, Parthia was initially under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Hong was responsible for entertaining people who came from far away to visit Ctesiphon.

Huo Qubing and Liu Qing, alone as husband and wife, came to the back hall of the palace.

In the afternoon, the sun shines in from outside the temple.

Liu Qing wears a light blue waist-cinched Han skirt, with water-colored floral patterns on both sleeves. She has a bun made of blue silk and a willow waist. She wears a belt painted with silver thread. The train of the skirt flows like moonlight and pours to the ground.

Her makeup is exquisite, her skin is ragged, and her eyebrows are lively and unpredictable.

"I asked the royal brother to personally cover the itinerary of this trip for me, for fear that you might get a sense and know that I'm coming in advance."

Liu Qing's face was filled with a look of "not surprised, not surprised". He sat down next to Huo Qubing and sniffed with a smile, smelling of vixen.

Huo Qubing actually had a feeling for a long time ago, but he pretended not to know that his daughter-in-law was coming, and cooperated with the surprise brought by Liu Qing.

He put his arms around his wife and put her on his lap: "Yan'er is here too."

Liu Qing took off a white pearl from the forehead ornament.

This is a tribute sent from the South China Sea, a pearl facing the blue sea, containing the magical energy of heaven and earth, and a small space inside a pearl.

Liu Qing handed the beads to Huo Qubing, but he saw a fat baby among them, lying on his back, sleeping soundly, with fat folds on his legs and hands.

It was his son Huo Shan.

"I was worried about leaving the child in Chang'an, and I couldn't bear to miss you, so I discussed the matter with the emperor and came together."

Liu Qing said: "These beads are the newly rewarded treasures from the emperor's brother. There are two in total, and the other one was given to the prince.

Tan'er puts it in it when he sleeps, and it is nourished by spiritual energy, which is good for him. "

Liu Qing handed the emperor's secret edict to Huo Qubing, but the emperor was grateful for his military achievements and conquered thousands of miles, so he added a fief to him. The location was the original Xiongnu royal court, Langjuxu Mountain and its surrounding areas.

That area is now the Han's pasture, managed by herders.

From now on, the annual taxes and tributes from that area will also be allocated to Huo Qubing.

Lang Juxu, the champion king, and his fiefdom is also Lang Juxu Mountain, which is very memorable.

In addition to the title of king, this is the real reward.

The royal court of the Xiongnu and the wolf living in Xu Mountain were equivalent to becoming Huo Qubing's feudal state.

"Your Majesty also granted two pastures for people to raise under the jurisdiction of the Huns royal court. Nominally, the output of the pastures will be returned to the treasury, but privately it will be allocated to the husband."

Liu Qing stood up and saluted softly: "I have met the prince, and I will be the princess from now on."

Huo Qubing smiled: "The princess is not as convenient as the princess."

Liu Qing sat back and said next to him: "The princess was born in the emperor's family, and everyone in the royal family is a princess. But the big man has a different surname, only the husband, and the status of the princess of the husband's family, I am the only one in this world. Can it be the same?"

The emperor granted a fiefdom to Huo Qubing, including the royal court of the Xiongnu and the Langjuxu Mountain area. He wanted to issue a secret edict for the sake of keeping it secret.

He is abolishing the kingships in various places, including the kingships of the clan, and the kingdoms are being withdrawn.

At this time, Huo Qubing was given the title of king and land based on his military merits. He was afraid that the clan would be disgraced, so he had to try his best to eliminate the impact. What he sent was a secret edict granting the title, so as not to add any resistance.

"I heard that foxy girl say... someone gave my husband a priestess and a Western beauty?" Liu Qing's eyes were burning.

While Huo Qubing was holding her in his arms, he was launching an offensive: "You really have many eyes and ears. Is Bai Nanyu also your spy?"

Liu Qing's eyes were blurred and he snorted softly: "That foxy girl felt that it was inconvenient for her to come forward, so she sent a message to me through Qingke. She thought I didn't know her little thoughts?"

Years ago, the concentric lotus leaves produced new leaves, totaling more than forty leaves.

Liu Qing and others were given a lotus leaf each to facilitate contact.

Zhuo Qingke is equivalent to the signal relay station at home. Liu Qing and Bai Nanyu use her to send messages to both ends.

Liu Qing and Bai Nanyu seemed to have reached a strategic alliance in resisting Western vixens from stealing their homes.

Feeling Huo Qubing's offensive gradually changing, Liu Qing snorted softly again.

Husband and wife meet again after a long absence, and there is a sense of intimacy.

This closeness lasted all afternoon.

The sun is setting.

Only then did Liu Qing remember the business: "My husband killed the soldier in charge, and learned some information from his consciousness. After passing it on to Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi found Roshna's family, but her father was killed. The rest of the family members were safe and sound. Roshna received Chang'an."

"In addition, there have been some abnormalities in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum and the East China Sea recently."

Liu Qing lay lazily on the couch: "The East China Sea was attacked twice. The black air from the sea attacked our coastal counties. The main purpose was to rob the population."

"We were well prepared along the East China Sea, so there were no major losses. However, Lelang County suffered heavy losses, with tens of thousands of people robbed."

Lelang County is from the northeast to the south of the Han Dynasty, and is the most remote county in the Han Dynasty. It is the most remote county in the Han Dynasty and has been newly built recently.

The retreat route prepared by the King of Huainan for his son Liu Qian was that the small coastal country was just south of Lelang County, facing the island country across the sea, not far away.

Huo Qubing changed the topic and asked, "How is your aunt?"

Liu Qing: "I have been unconscious."

Huo Qubing thought for a while: "The war situation here will not change for a while. When I make some arrangements, I will go back to Chang'an with you to see my aunt."

Liu Qing suddenly sat up and said, "Really, can my husband return to Chang'an?"

When a general is away on an expedition, it stands to reason that his family members are not allowed to come over with their children.

It is a special case that Liu Qing brought Huo Shan to see Huo Qubing.

But she couldn't stay here. She would leave in two or three days at most.Otherwise, what goes up and what goes down will be effective, and everyone drags their families and families to fight, and the rules and regulations will be in vain.

If Huo Qubing also goes back the same way, the time the two of them can spend together will be greatly extended.

After Her Royal Highness the Princess turned over and sat up happily, her figure as smooth as brocade was extremely beautiful.

Huo Qubing immediately summoned the emperor and told him that he wanted to return to Chang'an.

The emperor was also quite happy and responded: "You should have an accurate judgment on the situation of the war. If you feel that you can come back, it is best to come back as soon as possible. The matter of being crowned king must be your return before you can officially be crowned king."

In the dead of night, my wife and children were sound asleep.

Huo Qubing took out two utensils from the study and looked at them in his hands.

The great senator of Rome had a deep mind and many calculations.

He told Leonato that the three things placed in the secret grid of divine power were only the lost chapters of the epic of the gods and were real.

In fact, I still have reservations.The lost chapter of the epic of the gods that he placed in the dark room of the divine power is also problematic and contains falsified and erroneous information.

It wasn't until Huo Qubing broke through the mirror image and entered the hidden area behind it that he obtained the lost chapter that fell into the hands of the Romans. It was a copy, but it had truly complete content.

This is what Huo Qubing took out at this time.

After checking it, he was silent.

These so-called 'gods' in Western countries seem to be related to the things in the imperial tombs... Huo Qubing thought: The lost epic of the gods, plus the newly acquired one, mentioned the method of killing the gods, which is related to the initial temple. …

There is only one last missing piece left to complete the complete epic of the gods.

Another thing Huo Qubing had in his hands was a small bottle that he got from Rome.

The bottle contains blood, blood containing powerful fluctuations of power.

The dripping blood and aura are more powerful than Huo Qubing's current semi-saint level.

Huo Qubing suspected that it was the blood of a certain god passed down by the Romans.

I just don’t know what specific effect it has.

This time I will go back to Chang'an to visit my aunt, accept the title of king, and then go to the imperial mausoleum to have a look... Huo Qubing was thinking.

The next day.

He began to make arrangements to return to Chang'an and meet with visiting representatives of various forces.

The envoys from Egypt and Rome were in the same camp.

The envoy from Rome was named Titus Taia. He was about eight years old and was the governor of a province northeast of Rome.

He was born into one of the twelve Roman aristocrats, with a long family heritage and the unique arrogance and stubbornness of aristocrats.

The main hall of the Parthian Palace, afternoon.

Huo Qubing sat in the main seat, flanked by envoys from various parties on one side, and Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong, Su Jian and other civil and military officials on the other side.

The Roman envoy Titus sat at the head of the envoys' column, about two feet away from Huo Qubing.

During the conversation, he tried to test Huo Qubing a lot.

"My Rome was stolen not long ago. The Grand Senator said that Commander of the East, you are one of the few people with this ability to go in and out of Rome to take away the things given by our gods."

Titus stared at Huo Qubing in the main seat like a hawk, not missing any change in his expression.

He had deep doubts about whether the young man in front of him was a demigod or a war demigod.The young commander opposite him ignored him, which made him very dissatisfied.

The other party paid no attention to his questions and showed no intention of responding at all.

This made Titus, who represented Rome, was well-received around the Mediterranean and came from a noble family, secretly indignant.

Especially since he has not had the opportunity to meet the Han commander alone so far.

Every time the other party saw him, he was with the envoys from all sides who came to Ctesiphon, and did not give the Romans any preferential treatment.

According to the elder's order, he tested whether the person who sneaked into Rome that night and took away the things was Huo Qubing, and said:
“The grand senator and the consul all believe that if someone takes something from us, as long as it is returned, we will not pursue it.

And we came here this time to sign an alliance with the Han people. We would never take the lead in starting a war and attack each other. What did the Han commander think? "

Huo Qubing became a semi-sage and mastered the ancient Roman language system. He could understand what Titus meant, but he seemed to have not heard him and still ignored him.

Titus couldn't help wanting to explode, squinting and said:
"The Han commander is so contemptuous of our good intentions, but he thinks that the Han army is strong and unstoppable after conquering Parthia.

We in Rome have 40 elites and 20 auxiliary corps, sweeping through all countries.Commander Han, you are on an expedition of thousands of miles. How much military power can you mobilize? Can the supply be guaranteed?If you start a war with me, Rome, what are your chances of winning?

If our Roman legions really attack, your Han army will be defeated miserably within ten months. "

Huo Qubing said calmly: "Then let's fight. What are you doing here?"

Titus froze for a moment, then stood up abruptly:

"I took two thousand elite troops with me and stationed them outside the city.

Commander Han, do you dare to use the same number of men and horses? Let us compete, so that you can know the strength of my Roman legion. "

Huo Qubing happily said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to determine the outcome in a simple contest. Why don't we mark out a piece of terrain and put the two armies in, with 2000 men each, and attack and hunt each other, regardless of life or death. It's clear whoever comes out with more people will win." ,how?"

No matter life or death, so cruel?

Huo Qubing's proposal surprised all the envoys in the palace.

At present, people from all parties gathered together with different purposes, nothing more than to observe and analyze the strength of the Han army and the movements of the Han army after they occupied Parthia.

Using the competition with Rome to intimidate the surrounding parties was an opportunity that Huo Qubing couldn't wait for.

The troops under Zhao Anji are specially trained to fight behind enemy lines and have outstanding personal abilities.

If an area is designated for a life-and-death contest, the Han army will invisibly take advantage.

According to Huo Qubing's comparison, if the legions are weakened and cooperated in fighting, the Romans will suffer losses that are not visible on the surface.

Titus thought for a moment and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The men under his command are also elites who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Fighting regardless of life and death just taught these Han troops a lesson.

Titus shouted coldly: "Okay, as you said, let me see what is special about the Han army."

"Go and prepare. It will start in an hour." Huo Qubing said.

"It won't take an hour. I'll wait for you outside the city." Titus strode away.

Envoys from other parties were secretly excited.

It is beneficial and harmless for them to have two strong powers fighting each other, and they can also take the opportunity to observe the fighting power of both sides, which is perfect.

Envoys from all sides also stood up and left with them, preparing to watch the battle.

In the palace, Huo Qubing said to Zhao Anji: "Lead the team yourself and tell your subordinates that they will be killed without mercy."

Then he said to Xiao Qisheng: "Go and send an order to Zhang Cigong, asking him to lead the troops west of Armenia and send troops to the southwest. If you don't move, you will be alone. If you move, you will directly cut off the retreat of the Roman Fifth Army to attack Seleucus. .

He then ordered King Hunxie to send troops to the west to confront the Fifth Roman Legion, making it difficult for him to take care of both the head and tail.

And informed Macedonia to respond from south to north and start a war with the Fifth Army! "

Xiao Qisheng took the order with a bang, turned around and strode away.

It was true that Huo Qubing wanted to go back to Chang'an, but it was precisely because of this that he had to fight Rome first.

All respect is earned with strength, which hurts the Romans and makes them feel more fearful before they can be stable.

Otherwise, temptations like Titus will get worse.

Might makes right.

If you want the Romans to be honest when you return to Chang'an, you must beat him first, and beat him hard enough so that he will remember it in his heart, never forget it, and will not dare to raise troops easily.

"Your Majesty, the Romans said they are ready." The soldiers came in to announce.

"Then let's go and see what the Romans are capable of." Huo Qubing walked out.
