Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 498 South Vietnam
Han said he was dumbfounded and didn't move.The Lang officials yelled twice, but he didn't respond at all.

"Han Jun, Han Jun?" Liang Xiao put his hand on Han Shuo's shoulder, shook slightly, his eyes were concerned. "A person cannot be resurrected after death, so you must mourn and obey, and put your family first."

Hearing the word "family", Han Yue hit zero and woke up suddenly.Han Yan is dead, and his death is very embarrassing, and he can no longer be a burden on the family.The Han family is already unlucky enough, if Han Yan gets involved again, what kind of unlucky will it be.

"Liang Junhou." Han Shuo grabbed Liang Xiao's arm and begged, "Junhou save me, Junhou save me!"

"Save you? What's wrong with you?" Liang Xiao was very surprised.

"Your Majesty..." Han said, looking around, pulled Liang Xiao aside, and cupped his hands again and again. "Your Majesty, please take pity on me and save my Han family. My brother has done such a shameful thing. Once it is heard by the emperor, not only will he himself die, but my father will also be implicated. Your Majesty... ..."

Liang Xiao shook his head in embarrassment. "It's not that I refuse to help, bullying the king...is a serious crime."

Han said that he was already in a state of confusion and couldn't care less.Bullying the king is a serious crime, but what is the difference between what Han Yan did and bullying the king.He begged again and again, but Liang Xiao was helpless, pondered for a long time, and let out a long sigh. "Han Jun, I am also responsible for this matter. I failed to advise in time, resulting in the death of the king and grandson, and affecting your majesty's reputation. How about it..."

Liang Xiao clung to Han Shuo's ear and whispered a few words.

His solution is simple: Han Yan's death is too ugly to look good to anyone.The Han family was ashamed, the officials were ashamed, and the emperor was also ashamed.That being the case, it is better to hide this matter and say that Han Yan died of disobedience.In this way, Han Yan would not have to carry such a bad name into the soil, the Han family would not be affected, the emperor's face would be saved, and Liang Xiao and the others would have no responsibility at all.

This is the safest way at present, but it is necessary to unify the caliber, especially to ask Han to nod.If he doesn't cooperate, once this matter is leaked, they will all be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

Han said that he nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved.

Liang Xiao's expression was serious, as if facing a formidable enemy. "Han Jun, don't rush to nod your head. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Once reported to the court, you can't change your words. Otherwise, it's not just one or two people who will be implicated, but dozens or hundreds of people."

Han said that he couldn't help but shudder.However, after thinking about it, he nodded vigorously. "Your Majesty, I understand."

Liang Xiao secretly laughed in his heart.Han said the reaction was well within his expectations.Facing the life and death of his family, Han said he had no other choice.He would not suspect that there was something tricky about Han Yan's death. It was no secret that Han Yan was lustful, and it was well known that Han Yan was a prostitute.

He just pushed the boat along the way and helped Han Yan.After doing so much foreshadowing, who would have thought of his role in it.

"In that case, then it's settled." Liang Xiao repeatedly told Han to think carefully.Han said he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, but he was afraid that Liang Xiao would not agree.After all, in this matter, Liang Xiao's responsibility is "the lightest", and there is no need for him to take such a big risk.

After finishing it, Han said, Liang Xiao went to discuss with Guan Fu and others.

Guan Fu had nothing to say - Han Yan's life was in his hands, and the officials were also very grateful.Although the crime of deceiving the emperor is unimaginable, who is willing to take this responsibility?Han Yan died because of her lust, which not only hurt everyone, but also hurt the face of the emperor.In case the Son of Heaven is furious, no one will have a good fruit to eat.Since Han said that he begged everyone to keep it secret and didn't want to leak this matter, they naturally wanted it.

In order to ensure that no one would go back on their word, they swore another oath together.

After unifying the caliber, Guan Fu pulled Liang Xiao aside, rubbing the knife ring with his hand, his eyes were fierce. "What about those Yue women?"

Liang Xiao glanced at the five Yue girls whose faces were pale with fright, and found himself in trouble. "They saw the whole process?"

"Tan Fu said nonchalantly: Of course I saw it."

"You want to kill them?"

"Let them go out, wouldn't it be a leak."

Guan Fu bared his teeth and smiled, like a beast that chooses someone to devour.Seeing his expression, Liang Xiao understood his intention.When Guan Fu killed Han Yan, he didn't let these Yue girls out, so he already wanted to silence him, just like those two boys.In his opinion, these Yue girls are not worth considering at all, and asking him how to deal with it is purely out of politeness.

For Guan Fu, this is a rare respect.

But Liang Xiao didn't want to kill the five Yue girls.He knew that keeping these five women was a hidden danger, but killing them made him feel uneasy.

"Can you kill the entire Kuang family village?"

Guan Fu scratched his eyebrows, but said nothing.

"Leave them to me to arrange, and I will tell them to keep their mouths shut."

"What if they can't control their mouths?"

"That's fate too." Liang Xiao glanced at Guan Fu, calmly. "Don't worry, even if there is no such thing, there are countless reasons for the emperor to kill you and me. Killing innocent people indiscriminately is harmful to Yin and moral, but it is not beautiful. Are you afraid now?"

Guan Fu was slightly taken aback, then smiled again. "Afraid of a bird! Okay, I'll listen to you."

After Liang Xiao wrote the memorial, he sent Lang Guan back to Chang'an.

After Han Yan died, the carnival in Kuangjiazhai continued for several days before it dispersed.During the past few days, Liang Xiao, Kuang En and other leaders discussed that shipbuilding required a lot of wood, and Liang Xiao hoped that each village would provide labor.Hearing that there is an opportunity to make money, Kuang En and the others naturally dream of it.At Liang Xiao's request, they first provided dozens of guides.

The five Yue girls were also among them.

Liang Xiao gave a sum of money to their parents, bought them over, rewarded Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo and other close servants as wives and concubines, and ensured that they were within his control.The five Yue girls also knew that it was Liang Xiao who saved their lives, so they dared not refuse.Their parents got the money and didn't have any objections, and the deal was reached quickly.

With the help of these Yue people, Liang Xiao immediately conducted a census and registration of the surrounding forests.

As for Han Yan, Liang Xiao prepared a high-quality coffin for him, and Han Shuo escorted him back to Chang'an. As for whether the Han family would send him to the ancestral grave, Liang Xiao was not concerned.Liang Xiao didn't care how Han Yan got along with Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen in the underworld.

His opponents were never these people.

-

In mid-December, Yan An, the envoy to South Vietnam, completed his mission, passed through Yuzhang, and met Liang Xiao, who had just completed a census of nearby mountains and forests.

Liang Xiao showed his friendship as a landlord, and naturally asked about the situation in South Vietnam.

Although Yan An didn't have a deep relationship with Liang Xiao and was much older than Liang Xiao, he and Liang Xiao got along very well.As soon as Liang Xiao asked about the situation in Nanyue, he said with emotion: "Liang Junhou, have you been to Nanyue before?"

Liang Xiao was surprised. "Why did Jun Yan say that?"

"The geographical situation in South Vietnam is just as the prince said, it is inconvenient for marching." Yan An took out a well-hidden silk book and spread it in front of Liang Xiao, with a look of color on his face. "Liang Junhou, look."

Surprised and delighted, Liang Xiao quickly picked it up and examined it carefully. "This is the map of South Vietnam, how did you get it?"

"Your Majesty must not have imagined that this is a gift from Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue." Yan An's eyebrows were beaming, and he talked about the process of going to Nanyue.

It turned out that the information obtained by the Zheng side was wrong. Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, had no intention of forming an alliance with Minyue. This war was purely provoked by Minyue.A few years ago, Zhao Tuo had just passed away. Zhao Hu was young and had little political experience. The government was in the hands of ministers headed by Prime Minister Lu Jia.Minyue probably felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, so he provoked the war.Facing Minyue's attack, Zhao Hu was in a mess, so he asked the Han Dynasty for help.

"So, South Vietnam has no intention of rebellion?"

"No." Yan An said with a smile: "Zhao Hu has internal and external troubles, so he dares to be an enemy of the imperial court. He is now looking forward to the imperial army coming to help, so he handed over the map to me. On my return trip, Yitu Then, I checked the relevant terrain and found that just as the lord said, marching is extremely difficult."

Liang Xiao didn't speak, just stared at the map.Whether South Vietnam intends to confront the Han Dynasty is not the decisive factor.No matter how obedient Zhao Hu was, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could no longer tolerate the existence of Nanyue, a kingdom with a different surname.The Nanyue Kingdom is neither the Minyue Kingdom nor the Changsha Kingdom. He is too powerful and has a history of fighting against the Central Dynasty. As long as there is a chance, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will definitely solve him without hesitation.

If Zhao Hu is obedient and takes the initiative to lead the Han army into the country, it will only reduce some troubles.

What's more, Zhao Hu can't make any decisions now. Whether the powerful officials in South Vietnam are willing to submit to the court is the key to the smooth resolution of the South Vietnam issue.

"What is the attitude of Lu Jia and others?" Liang Xiao put down the map. "Will they accept the entry of the Han army?"

"It might not look like much." Yan An shook his head. "So, our army should still be prepared for a strong attack. If we march by land, the army will be exhausted from the journey and will be blocked by mountains. It is inevitable that it will be blocked outside South Vietnam just like the situation of Long Luhou back then."

"Long Wohou?"

"Yes, in the seventh year of Gao Hou, Zhao Tuo sent troops to attack Changsha. Gao Hou once sent Long Lihou Zhou Zao to lead troops to attack South Vietnam, but was blocked in Nanling. The soldiers were not acclimatized, the plague spread, and there were heavy casualties..."

Liang Xiao was both happy and ashamed when he heard Yan An explain the previous battle.The joy is that Yan An has done a lot of preparatory work, and this mission to South Vietnam has gained a lot, but the shame is that he knew nothing about that war.Fortunately, I didn't speak out loudly, otherwise I would lose face.

Liang Xiao praised: "Your Majesty will be very satisfied with Yan Jun's mission this time."

"Junhou should also be satisfied." Yan An said with a smile: "It is not advisable to march by land, and building ships will definitely be popular. Junhou is building ships in Yuzhang. In the future, when wars come together, Junhou must be the vanguard. I hope the information I collected can help Junhou provides a little reference."

Liang Xiao smiled without saying a word.He understood what Yan An meant.However, Yan An obviously hasn't grasped the emperor's veins yet. He thought that the emperor would let him lead the army to march south, hoping to have the opportunity to contribute to the expedition.
