Lu Anguo looked at his father in surprise, terrified.In his memory, he had never seen his father so out of shape.He was just about to ask, but Zhao Ruji tugged at his sleeve, gave him a look, and signaled him not to talk too much.Lu Jia was depressed and didn't notice the small movements of Lu Anguo's young couple.He sat there for a moment, then stood up and said sullenly, "I'll go out." ”Without waiting for Lu Anguo to agree, he got up and entered the inner room.After a while, he changed into a court robe and went out.Lu Anguo looked at his wife."
Father, this is entering the palace" "Change into court clothes, where else can you go" Zhao Ruji sighed lightly, her eyes gloomy."
It seems that it is inevitable to be a minister."
Lu Anguo was puzzled."
How do you know that it has something to do with the minister?"
"Do you still need to ask, the person who sent the letter came from the water master, it should be the news sent by Zhao Guang."
Zhao Guang is at the mouth of the river, and according to the calculation of time, the prince and the envoys of the Han Dynasty should also have arrived at the mouth of the river.Zhao Guang must have seen something, so he sent someone to report to his father. ”Lu Anguo nodded again and again, feeling that Zhao Ruji was reasonable."
Zhao Guang is in charge of the foot soldiers, Zhao Guang is in charge of the sailors, if they don't have the confidence to compete with the Han army, no matter how strong his father is, he will be unable to support himself.The prince has a close relationship with the Han envoys, and I am afraid that he has long been bewitched and does not know the south, east and west.Alas, the situation is pressing, helpless. ”Lu Anguo sighed, worried.The opposite opinion of the father and the crown prince Zhao Yingqi is by no means a rational choice for the Lu family.I don't know what my father is entering the palace for, but judging from his performance just now.I'm afraid it won't be easy.What's the trouble with this, since Zhao Yingqi and the Han envoy are fighting hotly, let him be a hostage, why do you bother to force your head without drinking water.Lu Jia walked to the gate of the palace and slowed down, looking a little hesitant.Zhao Ruji guessed well.What he received was a message from Zhao Guang.Zhao Guang and Wei Qing competed in the water battle, and the result was a complete defeat.As soon as the battle began, his handsome ship was hit and sunk by four building ships, and he had almost no power to fight back.Zhao Quang said that with the current strength of the two sides, once a war breaks out, the South Vietnamese naval division has no chance of winning at all.Zhao Guang proved that the land war in South Vietnam was inferior to the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Guang's experience proved that the water war in South Vietnam was inferior to the Han Dynasty, in the face of the strong military strength of the Han Dynasty.South Vietnam had no choice but to bow down.But Lu Jia was unwilling.Emperor Wu has been running the country all his life, could it be that just thinking about this, Lu Jia's heart is like a knife cutting, and it hurts his heart and lungs.Just when Lu Jia hesitated, Yan An and Lu Xiang walked side by side.The two were smiling and talking and laughing.I saw Lu Jia dressed in court clothes.Pacing back and forth in front of the palace gate, Yan An and Lu Xiang glanced at each other.Mind to heart.Yan An bowed his hand and said with ridicule."
Lu Xiang, when you advance, you advance, when you retreat, you retreat, and make a decision when you have the opportunity.If you don't go in, you can't go in, so what's going on" Lu Jia raised his head.glared at Yan An fiercely.How could he not hear Yan An's pride.Now that the dust has settled and Yan'an's mission has been achieved, he can return to Chang'an to receive rewards, and he is naturally proud.But South Vietnam was miserably killed by him.Lu Jia looked at Lu Xiang again, and was even more depressed.Lu Xiang is an idiot.He only saw the little benefits in front of him, and did not think about the future of South Vietnam at all.How can such a person become a minister?
Seeing that Lu Jia's eyes were not good, Lu Xiang was also very unhappy.He snorted disdainfully: "Yan Jun, Lu Xiang is probably waiting for the king's invitation, so we don't have to be so restrained, let's go directly to the palace, lest the king stay too long." ”Yan An laughed and walked side by side with Lu Xiang.Lu Jia sighed secretly, so he had to follow him into the palace.He was really afraid that Lu Xiang would open his mouth and mislead Zhao Hu and promise what conditions he should not agree.The three of them had their own thoughts, and came to Zhao Hu together and bowed.Zhao Hu was surprised.Look at Lu Jia, who is dressed in court clothes but has a gloomy face, and look at Yan An and Lu Xiang who are beaming."
Three, you are" Yan An turned his head to look at Lu Jia, his eyebrows slightly raised."
Lu Jia, you came to the court, it must be a big deal, you can talk about it first."
Lu Jia was already in a bad mood, and when he heard Yan An's words, he was even more unhappy, and sneered at each other: "Yan Jun and Lieutenant Lu are coming together, I'm afraid what I want to say is more important, so you should say it first." ”"In that case, then you're welcome."
Yan An is very generous, and he is not interested in arguing with Lu Jia.He turned to look at Zhao Hu and stood up to salute."
Great King, I have just received news from Liang Junhou, he and Wei Junhou escorted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in triumph, and have entered the Jiangkou and will soon arrive in Panyu.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won a great victory on his first expedition, which is gratifying. ”Zhao Hu was very happy."
Yes, my son is back" Lu Jia coughed: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back, the king should cherish the time and reunite with His Royal Highness more."
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to Chang'an as a hostage, it will not be so easy for the king to see him again. ”He glanced at Yan An."
Perhaps, I will never see each other in this life."
Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly.Lu Jia has always been against accepting quality, what is wrong today, and he took the initiative to suggest sending Zhao Yingqi as a hostage to Chang'an.And why is this so mad, coupled with his court clothes and crying face, Zhao Hu has a feeling of mourning.However, when you think about it, that's really the case.If Zhao Yingqi goes to Chang'an as a hostage, if nothing else, Zhao Yingqi will not be able to return to succeed to the throne until he, the king of Nanyue, dies, and their father and son will never see each other in their lives.Thinking of this result, Zhao Hu's heart also sank.Yan An was also a little surprised, but he immediately understood Lu Jia's intentions, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.Things have come to this point, you still refuse to give up, you have to tear your face," Lu Xiangyan said seriously. ”Yan An said unhurriedly: "Nanyue is a feudal state of the Han Dynasty, and the imperial court regards the imperial court as the heart, and the imperial court regards Nanyue as an arm, dependent on each other and inseparable.The prince went to Chang'an to learn the art of governing the country, and when he returned from his studies in the future, it was also good for Weizhen to be on the side.The king has the heart to invite, how can the Son of Heaven not allow the king to see not only the crown prince, but also the Son of Heaven and the ministers, and see the customs of the Central Plains.If the Son of Heaven is gracious.Maybe the king will be allowed to go to Zhending to worship the ancestors, isn't it better than a corner of peace?"
Lu Jia suddenly choked.Of course, he would not agree to Zhao Hu going to Chang'an to invite him, but what could he say in this case What's even worse is that Yan An also said that Zhao Hu could go to Zhending to worship the tomb of his ancestors, which is a more upright reason than worshipping the Son of Heaven.Whether it's the Qin people or the Han people.They all respect their ancestors, and he can't say that Zhao Hu shouldn't go back to worship his ancestors.The Son of Heaven can not want it, and the ancestors cannot do it.Sure enough, as soon as he heard that he could go back to Zhending to worship his ancestors, Zhao Hu's eyes immediately lit up."
Seriously" "Of course you can." ”Yan An blurted out without thinking, as if he had received the edict of the Son of Heaven."
When Lu Jia went to Nanyue, he once said that the Zhending Zhao family ancestor has been repaired, and the king of Nanyue can go back to worship at any time.It's just that King Wu is old.Failing to make the trip, his last wish now falls on the shoulders of the king. ”Lu Jia secretly complained to himself.If he didn't pay attention, he was seized by Yan An again, and Zhao Hu ran out of ideas after a few words.He hurriedly interrupted Yan An and asked him to continue, I am afraid that it is not only Zhao Yingqi who is going to Chang'an, but even Zhao Hu has been fooled away by him."
Your Highness, Your Highness's expedition has been hard.It's never too late to take a break for a while.And the two princes of the Han Dynasty came accompanied, and they were courteous.I should be hospitable in the south of the city, so as not to be rude. ”Zhao Hu came back to his senses and nodded again and again.Yan An listened, just smiled slightly, and did not argue.The overall situation has been decided, so he is not interested in competing with Lu Jia for a while.An errand that dragged on for so long.It's finally done.Thinking of the competition in which Wei Qing defeated Zhao Guang, Yan An couldn't help but want to laugh.This time, in order to subdue South Vietnam, the Son of Heaven spent a lot of money and sent two of the most capable young generals over, and finally frightened the South Vietnamese monarchs and ministers.Only with strength can there be dignity.One day, the big man can be like a building boat.You don't have to play so much, you can easily crush South Vietnam with your strength, how cool it would be.In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to South Vietnam again, conquer South Vietnam with strength, and make meritorious contributions.Thinking of the information he had recently collected, Yan An's heart was itchy and overjoyed.At the beginning of February, Liang Xiao and others came to the outside of Panyu City.The overall situation has been decided, and the monarchs and ministers of Nanyue have made a big move, so that everyone inside and outside Panyu City knows that the Han army and naval division are coming.When the day came, countless people poured out of the city and came to the riverside, waiting to see the heroic appearance of the Han army's sailors.The happiest, of course, is the Huainan businessman.The main force of the Han Army's sailors is the Huainan Sailors, and the champion Hou Liangxiao is the son-in-law of Huainan.In the midst of all the attention, five building ships went up the water and slowly entered the port.It is not surprising to see the boat from a distance, and it is only up close that you can truly appreciate the shock brought by the volume.The building ship used by the sailor is larger than the building ship used by the Huainan merchants as a merchant ship, in order to facilitate the battle, some women's walls, watchtowers and other weapons have been added, and there are huge battle flags fluttering in the wind on the high mast, plus the heavily armed soldiers are lined up along the railing, the murderous atmosphere is vigorous, and it adds a bit of majesty and majesty, which is by no means comparable to the merchant ships.The South Vietnamese people saw it in their eyes and were full of praise.When the merchants in the Central Plains saw it, they also felt honored, and their chests were taller than usual.Yan An stood beside Lu Xiang, looking at the majestic Han army soldiers and the crowded port, smiling.Say a thousand, say 10,000, or strength.Yan An was proud, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, the Son of Heaven was still too anxious.If you follow Liang Xiao's suggestion, wait for him to build the new-style building boat, and the sailor will drive directly to the city of Panyu, not five building ships, but fifty building ships, today's scene is probably even more spectacular, and the king of Nanyue may have to kneel.Now, I can only bluff and scare and scare the monarchs and ministers of South Vietnam.Wei Qing's handsome boat docked, and Lu Xiang arranged for the soldiers to step forward and tie the cable tightly.The gangplank was put down on the boat, Lu Xiang and Yan An jumped on the gangplank together, although Lu Jia was reluctant, he could only squeeze out a smile at this moment and followed.The other ministers did not dare to slack off, and followed in turn.The group came to the deck and first bowed to the dressed Zhao Yingqi."
Congratulations to Your Highness, on your victorious return."
Zhao Yingqi's face was full of spring breeze, and he couldn't stop smiling.He didn't expect the welcome ceremony to be so grand, not only Lu Jia and Lu Xiang, the two important ministers, came, but also so many people.Now, his glorious image will spread all over the country of Nanyue.He hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and then solemnly introduced Liang Xiao and Wei Qing.Liang Xiao took a step back and gave up the frontmost position to Wei Qing.He has already been to Panyu and is no stranger to the South Vietnamese ministers, but Wei Qing is a fresh face, and he came with soldiers, so he should be the main force to deter the South Vietnamese monarchs and ministers.Seeing Wei Qing with a simple face and a wooden expression, and listening to Zhao Yingqi's legendary achievements in breaking Wei Qing's defeat of Yu Shan, the South Vietnamese ministers couldn't help but secretly marvel at themselves.Such an ordinary-looking person is actually a legendary general on the same level as the champion Hou Liangxiao, who is really unseemly, and the sea water is incomparable.There are too many talents in Dahan.Everyone flattered them, and Lu Xiang led Zhao Yingqi and others off the boat and stepped onto the war horse.At this moment, the five hundred horsemen brought by Zhao Yingqi from Panyu and the five hundred knights brought by Wei Qing had already completed their formation on the shore.A thousand knights stood side by side.The knights of the Han army were dressed in distinct armor, and the war horses under their crotches were a head taller than the Dian horses.The originally elite South Vietnamese knights were dwarfed by them, and they even more appeared that the Han army was tall and mighty, and the momentum was extraordinary.In the cheers, Liang Xiao and others swaggered through the city, entered Panyu City, and came to the Nanyue Palace.The knights stopped in the square in front of the palace gate, and Lu Xiang had already arranged a banquet, which was enough for a thousand people to drink.Liang Xiao and others were invited to the palace gatehouse, and Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, would hold a banquet here to celebrate Zhao Yingqi's achievements.The knights dismounted, the Nanyue knights on the left and the Han knights on the right, all standing next to the horses, holding the reins in their right hands and pressing their swords in their left hands, maintaining a posture that they could get on their horses at any time.Both sides are carefully selected elites, but regardless of body shape or momentum, the knights of the Han army are all superior, especially the Langguan knights led by Han Shuo are even more outstanding, attracting the attention of countless people.A moment later, Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, came to the palace gate.He stood by the wall, glanced down, and sighed.Everyone is a cavalryman, how can the momentum be so bad.Speaking of which, the South Vietnamese cavalry is still the elite of the forbidden army, and it can be said that it is the best soldier in South Vietnam, compared with the Han army, it is still a grade lower.A subject country is a subject country, and it cannot be compared with the dynasty of the Central Plains.In an instant, the struggle in Zhao Hu's heart completely disappeared, and he involuntarily exhaled a breath and sighed:
