Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 342 Like a Tiger with Wings

The Nanyue Kingdom in history was a regime established in the Lingnan area at the end of the Qin Dynasty. There were five rulers in total, and the country lasted for 93 years.

The founding monarch Zhao Tuo was originally a Qin general.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, he took advantage of the turmoil of the Qin Dynasty, closed the customs, annexed the Guilin County and Xiang County in the south of the Lingnan Mountains, and established the Nanyue Kingdom with Panyu as its capital.

In the 11th year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Nanyue became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but it was repeated several times during the period, and it did not listen to the announcement or the tune.

In the reign of Emperor Wu, Liu Che launched a war against South Vietnam. In the sixth year of Yuanding, that is, more than ten years before now, South Vietnam was subjugated.

This is the thread of history.

The situation is clearly different now.

It must be known that the Dayue clan was active in the north of Qilian Mountains in the early years, and was once on par with the Xiongnu, and its military strength was extremely strong.

The forces of the Han Dynasty and even the surrounding parties have a certain understanding of the national power and strength of the Da Yuezhi.

This time Huo Qubing defeated Dayue Clan in one fell swoop, causing him to subjugate the country within a few days, and the news spread, deterring all directions.

Who would dare to confront the Han if they felt inferior to the Da Yuezhi?
Nanyue was one of them, so he wrote a letter to surrender again.

In the past, Nanyue professed to be a vassal many times, but it was the first time that the king came to Chang'an for an audience, and handed over the initiative of life and death to the big man.

So the emperor was delighted.

Huo Qubing broke the Yue clan, and the resulting changes made some surrounding countries dare not fight with the Han.

The territory of South Vietnam in its heyday, including most of the southern coast.

The greatest significance of the establishment of the Nanyue Kingdom is to allow Lingnan to enter the era of farming civilization from a clan society of hundreds of clans fighting and slash-and-burn farming, and to introduce exotic culture and marine culture to Lingnan and even the Central Plains.

At the same time, the exchanges between the Nanyue Kingdom and the surrounding sea areas also laid the foundation for the formation of the Maritime Silk Road.

The surrender of South Vietnam has great significance in promoting Dahan's shipbuilding technology, opening up maritime commerce, and obtaining coastal materials.

There is also a hidden benefit.

Last time Huo Qubing killed Zi, obtained some of his memories, and learned that Zhao Tuo was also one of Zi's incarnations, influenced by him, he took the opportunity to die in Qin.

Since Zi Zi had influenced and controlled Zhao Tuo, both Huo Qubing and Ru Bohu had speculated that the few remaining evils of Zonghengdao, the ones who wielded swords and those who controlled soldiers, might be in South Vietnam, or at least related to South Vietnam.

Nanyue's surrender can allow the embroiderer to check it out.

"Except for Nanyue, those of Kangju, please surrender, what do you think of Qubing?" the emperor asked.

Huo Qubing said: "If you want to be admired, you need to be kind and powerful, and you can't just suppress the killing. This is the truth that His Majesty told me when I was seven years old. Regarding the return of Kangju, I have also considered this matter.

Before coming back this time, a summons had been sent to send Lord Kang Ju to come to Chang'an to meet His Majesty.

They set off earlier than Chen, and probably arrived in Chang'an in a few days. "

The emperor hummed, and his expression became more and more joyful.

He is happiest that Huo Qubing still remembers what he taught him when he was young, and he knows to consider the overall situation and share his worries.

The emperor threw it over and gave Huo Qubing a knife!

Before the Spring and Autumn Period, or even earlier, the ancestors began to forge knives.

This can be seen from the fact that there are sword coins in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But the knives at that time were generally small, and there were very few long knives.

The sword has always been regarded as a gentleman's weapon, which is more in line with Han culture.

And before the Spring and Autumn Period, the combat method of chariot combat and foot combat has always been used, and the sword is more useful.

Knives have limited uses and are not valued.

It wasn't until the war situation changed and cavalry warfare became popular during the Qin and Han Dynasties that the sword gradually became the most commonly used weapon for cavalry.

Huo Qubing prefers to use knives rather than swords.

The kind of momentum that opens and closes, looks at the direction, and the wind urges the enemy is something that the sword does not have.

And the sword bestowed by the emperor is a legendary weapon—the Hongming Sword!

It is said that when the Xuanyuan sword of Xuanyuan Huangdi was released in ancient times, there were still raw materials left. Due to the high temperature, the liquid casting raw materials spontaneously flowed to the bottom of the furnace, and took the shape of a knife after cooling.

So it has always been said that this sword is forged by heaven and earth, not fake human hands, it is the ancestor of all swords and the father of all swords.

The Yellow Emperor thought that the knife's intent was too strong, and would turn against the holder. He feared that the knife would be left in the world and kill all living beings, so he wanted to destroy it with the Xuanyuan Sword. Unexpectedly, the knife turned into a red skylark in his hand, and the red sun soared into the sky and disappeared. In the cloud, never seen again.

In terms of material and qualifications, this sword is comparable to the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword, the number one sword in the world.

Later generations "Dong Ming Ji" contains: "Emperor Wu untied Minghong's sword and gave it to Dongfang Shuo. In the cloud."

That is to say, this magical sword did fall into the hands of Emperor Wu in history.

After Emperor Wu got the sword, he regarded it as his favorite.

His favorite knife and sword, the sword is Chi Xiao left by Emperor Gaozu, which is the national sword of the Han Dynasty.

The knife is Hongming knife.

Huo Qubing knew that the emperor liked the saber, so he refused to accept it just now.

The emperor insisted on giving it, and he took it in his hand.

"The Yellow Emperor said that it is not fake that this knife devours the master. This knife is extremely fierce. It will kill life when it comes out of the body, otherwise it will absorb the blood of the master. You have to be careful, especially at home, don't take it out to watch, Ping Xian is pregnant with you Don’t be shocked by your child’s heir.”

The emperor warned: "I have always used the emperor's temperature to nourish and suppress the hostility of this knife, and I asked the Mo family to create a special scabbard. You should also be careful."

Huo Qubing glanced at the Hongming knife in his hand.

This knife is an embroidered envoy who found an isolated island when he went out to explore the sea. There was no life and no grass grew. The killing intent caused no fish to swim in the surrounding coastal areas for several miles. When he went to the island to investigate, there was a lot of damage, so he finally took it. The knife was brought back and became the emperor's collection.

Now in his own hands, it is an excellent killing weapon, like a tiger with wings added.

The scabbard is black, made of the skin of a strange animal, and on it is a bronze incantation that the Mohist used the grouting method to sacrificially, which is complicated and exquisite.

The hilt is also black, slightly wider than the palm of the hand, and the body of the knife is almost vertical, with a very faint arc.

At the end of the handle, one on the left and one on the right, there are two gemstones, Xuanhuang and Youzi, which are inlaid on both sides of the end of the handle like eyes, emitting a strange halo, as if they were looking at each other with Huo Qubing.

There is indeed a fierce and fierce aura in this knife, which seeps out faintly.

"You just came back, go back to the mansion to rest first."

The emperor said: "We will discuss other matters later."

Huo Qubing came out from the study, Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong and others entered.

After leaving the palace, it was already evening.

It was snowing heavily and it was getting dark early.

Jin Anxi snorted rhythmically, as if urging Huo Qubing to get on the car and go home.

This guy misses his little red horse and the delicious fodder from the house.

Huo Qubing turned his head to look back at Weiyang Palace.

The pillar of national luck of the big man is full of purple, covering the sky and the sun.

In the eyes of practitioners, Chang'an today is like a vast ocean of national destiny, filled with unfathomable fortune.

With good weather, His Majesty has the most intuitive perception of the country's fortunes. This time, His Majesty will get a lot of benefits from breaking the Da Yuezhi and other countries...

Huo Qubing withdrew his gaze from Weiyang Palace, thinking in his heart.

When he saw the emperor this time, he could clearly feel the emperor's power, and his aura was thicker and more majestic than before.

"Master Hou, shall we go home?"

"Ah."

Champion Hou Mansion, the lights are on.

After driving back, approaching the Hou Mansion, Huo Qubing found that the guards inside and outside the mansion were much stricter than before.

On the street outside the mansion, there were many imperial guards, and when they saw his car, they raised their guns and saluted silently.

Huo Qubing asked the accompanying followers outside the car: "Why is the guard in the house so tight?"

The imperial guards who accompanied him replied: "Your Majesty will tell the whole world about the process of Lord Hou's conquest of foreign tribes.

The people in Chang'an are grateful for the majesty of Lord Hou, and they all say that Lord Hou is the martial arts star descending from the sky, so he can protect the great man, win every battle, and dispel evil spirits.Every day, people gathered outside Hou's mansion to watch, and some people gave Hou Ye things, chickens, ducks, mountain products, fruits and vegetables, everything.

There are also practitioners who try to send letters to Lord Hou's mansion to recommend themselves.

The princess said that since she is a person who respects Lord Hou, there is no need to drive him away.However, His Majesty personally issued an order to increase the defense of the imperial army, lest any unruly people take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to rush into the mansion. "

After a while, the car stopped at the gate of the mansion.

Huo Qubing got off the car and entered the residence.

"Hou Ye Wanan!"

Someone in the mansion had been waiting for a long time and bowed to say hello.

Standing in front was Zhuo Qingke, and Bai Nanyu who took a step before Huo Qubing and returned to the mansion after entering the city.

The two women have exquisite faces, long satin-like hair, soft and graceful figure, black eyebrows and red lips, beautiful straight nose, and Zhu Yu Baochai stuck in the black hair.

Bai Nanyu was wearing an apricot-colored dress, she was extremely charming.

Zhuo Qingke was wearing a light rouge dress, and the cuffs of the skirt revealed her fat and jade-like skin.

Zhuo Qingke, who was getting older, gradually showed an extraordinary charm, like a ripe peach waiting to be picked.

"His Royal Highness asked me to wait here for Lord Hou." Zhuo Qingke whispered softly, pursing her lips slightly.

Huo Qubing wondered what Liu Qing's intention was by asking Zhuo Qingke to wait here if he didn't come by himself.
He went to the deep house.

When they arrived at the back house, outside the door of the bedroom, the maids of the four Princess Royal Highnesses greeted them with salutes.

"The princess is in the room."

"Yes, Your Highness knew that Lord Hou was back, and started waiting three or four days ago. There are many arrangements, but we are not allowed to tell Lord Hou." Liu Qing's valet whispered, before speaking, he pushed open the door.

It's snowing in the cold winter, but it's as warm as spring indoors.

The lamp is lit in the hall, and the lampshade is made of rouge-colored tulle, the light is soft and reveals a touch of beauty.

The hall was quiet, and there was no one in the bedroom or the outer hall.

Huo Qubing walked along the corridor of the inner hall of the dormitory towards the apse.

In the warm pool of the apse, a mermaid is lingering and swimming in the water, with a faint figure, beautiful and heavenly, enchanting and incomparable.

Soon, Huo Qubing also joined them.

Reunion after farewell, with a new pattern.

Huo Qubing turned into a guard with a stick to protect Her Royal Highness personally.

The tides in the pool ebb and flow...

The night is like frost.

In the sleeping hall, the clouds disappear and the rain rests.

Her Royal Highness said very comfortably and formally: "Husband, you can take a concubine."

"Ok?"

The eyes under Liu Qing's thick eyelashes flickered, a little shy: "My husband's cultivation is improving day by day, and now he is at the sixth level and has a hundred battles. His physical strength is also different from before, and it has increased..."

Huo Qubing was overjoyed.

The meaning of Her Royal Highness is obvious.

Even if she has the physique of a phoenix returning to the nest, she is not an opponent of General Bai Zhan.

"I also want to have more time to practice, otherwise the gap with my husband will become more and more distant, and I am pregnant, I am afraid of fetal gas, and I can't bear to sleep alone when my husband returns from an expedition... I have been thinking about it for a while , and told Zhuo Qingke." Liu Qing adjusted a comfortable posture and said.

"Zhuo Qingke?"

Liu Qingqing took it for granted, "Otherwise, Zhuo Qingke can accept concubines if your husband does, but that foxy girl can't."

"Zhuo Qingke agreed?"

"She loves her husband, so he doesn't know? She is a girl, she lost her father and brother, no matter how outsiders guess, she still wants to live in our Hou's mansion, isn't that obvious? If she marries someone else, she loses her reputation, and she can never have a good family. want her."

Liu Qing agreed, and Huo Qubing had nothing to be hypocritical about.

He didn't have much affection for Zhuo Qingke, but it didn't hinder him. He married and communicated slowly after entering the door. Generally, the more exchanges the better.

"Then choose a day, tell Zhuo Shi, and formally welcome her into the mansion."

In this day and age, the status of a concubine is very low, and arranging a car to drive to the house is considered a pass.

Only those who are more particular will notify their relatives and friends and formally accept the marriage.

Huo Qubing thought that there must be a ceremony, after all, this is the only time in a woman's life.

"My husband, if you can't wait, you can go to the small courtyard over there first. I guess Zhuo Qingke will definitely not refuse."

Liu Qingyi pointed out something: "That foxy girl seems to be with Zhuo Qingke too, husband, don't go wrong."

Although he promised to take a concubine, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Her Royal Highness said this with a gun and a stick.

Huo Qubing turned over: "Sleeping and sleeping, I'm a little tired after fighting for many days."

The next afternoon, the snow stopped.

Huo Qubing came to the Bingfu in the outskirts of the city, found the Mohist Ji Qiu, and asked, "Is there any progress?"

Ji Qiu said happily: "Waiting for Lord Hou to come over, not only has there been progress, but it has also made great progress!"
