Liu Tan felt Huo Guang's gaze and looked down, only to find that Huo Guang and Lu Xuan were still holding hands. She couldn't help but blush and quickly let go of him.
Lu Xuan glanced at Liu Tan with a smile and said, "I noticed some unusual Xiongnu movements a while ago and sent people to investigate. I learned that Wu Shilu was planning to march south. I was worried that something might happen to Ah Tan, so I wanted to come and help. I didn't expect that even after rushing so hard, I still almost missed the opportunity."
Huo Guang pressed the issue, "How did the young Kunmi enter Yumen Pass when he led his troops into the Shuofang area without receiving any news?"
After hearing this, Liu Tan looked at Lu Xuan with some curiosity. He had almost overlooked this matter just now.
The big man was friendly towards Lu Xuan, but that didn't mean he could just run around with his troops.
Not only can he not do it, no other prince can do it!
Lu Xuan said calmly, "I took a detour from Zhuoxie Mountain and didn't pass through Yumen Pass."
Zhuoxie Mountain...the territory of the Xiongnu.
Huo Guang stared at Lu Xuan for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Are you treating the Huns' territory as your own backyard?
But on second thought, Lu Xuan was able to know about Wu Shilu's troop deployment so quickly, so he must be very close to him, otherwise he would not have been able to rush over so quickly.
And Zhuoxie Mountain...is connected to Junji Mountain...
Huo Guang suddenly asked, "Has the young Kunmi ever met General Junji?"
Lu Xuan asked, "General Junji? Is that Zhao Po Nu? I didn't meet him, but I met his soldiers."
Liu Tan was still thinking about the soldiers Zhao Po Nu had lost earlier, and he couldn't help but ask, "So now..."
Lu Xuan comforted him and said, "I sent someone to bring them back. Most of them were in poor health, and I was anxious, so I brought people here first."
In fact, it was mainly because those who were lost were all infantrymen. Lu Xuan directly brought a team of light cavalry to support him. How could those people possibly keep up with his speed?
Liu Tan asked excitedly, "How many people are there?"
Lu Xuan said, "More than 10,000. I didn't count carefully, but it should be over 15,000."
More than fifteen thousand!
Liu Tan was so excited that he almost cried.
Zhao Po Nu has basically found all the people he lost!
Liu Tan didn't expect that all of them could come back. He had already made preparations. He would be very happy if 10,000 people could come back, including those who died in the battle and those who escaped.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan brought him back 15,000 yuan!
Liu Tan was so excited that he almost went over to hug Lu Xuan.
Fortunately, he still remembered that there were many people around him, and they were all riding on horses, so it would be difficult for him to go over and hug Lu Xuan.
Huo Guang didn't say anything this time. Lu Xuan had already come this far, and it would be ungrateful for him to continue to be aggressive.
Furthermore, according to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, Lu Xuan had made great contributions. Even if he had sent troops privately, he would not be punished but rewarded instead.
Huo Guang coughed lightly and said, "In that case, please return to the city first."
On the way back, Liu Tan couldn't say too much to Lu Xuan because of Huo Guang's presence, so he had to return to Shuofang City in silence.
When approaching Shuofang City, Lu Xuan's face showed a rare look of surprise.
Liu Tan said with some pride: "How is it?"
Lu Xuan said aloud: "Magnificent."
Liu Tanxiao was very happy. On the one hand, he felt that he had received recognition. On the other hand, he was able to protect such a city. Well, although Lu Xuan had saved the day in the end, at least he had managed to hold on until Lu Xuan came.
Moreover, even if Lu Xuan didn't come, he should be able to delay it, but the result would be more tragic.
Liu Tan said with some regret: "It's a pity that it's at night. It would be more interesting during the day."
He paused here and said, this is more interesting... It doesn't seem to be a big deal, because only the most basic construction has been built in the city, and the rest is blank.
Lu Xuan turned and looked at him: "Then I'd better find some time to take a good look at it."
Liu Tan coughed lightly and said, "You should go and see my palace first."
Huo Guang looked up at Liu Tan and couldn't help but whisper, "The posthouse has been built. Little Kunmi should live there."
Liu Tan: ...
By this time, they had already reached the city gate. Liu Tan was about to argue, "What's wrong with a friend staying at his house?" "Does Lu Xuan have any connection to him?"
What's more, they came thousands of miles to help, and you still let them live in a barely renovated post house? Isn't that too cruel?
In an instant, Liu Tan came up with many reasons, and he felt that each one was very justified, so justified that even Huo Guang could not argue with him.
Just as Liu Tan was about to speak, Lu Xuan suddenly said, "You two go back first."
After Liu Tan looked over in surprise, Lu Xuan resisted the urge to pat his head and said, "Get some rest when you get back."
Liu Tan asked, "Where...where are you going?"
Lu Xuan said, "I'll go to the north to take a look. Don't worry, it won't go beyond the boundaries of Madam Fan City."
Huo Guang was a little surprised: "Little Kunmi won't enter the city?"
Lu Xuan shook his head. "Wu Shilu is not dead and has escaped with his men. He is very cunning. I am worried that he might launch a surprise attack. I am taking my men to check it out and will return if there is no problem."
Liu Tan subconsciously held his hand and said, "I'll send someone else."
Lu Xuan was helpless: "If there are still people in Shuofang City who can go there, why would you risk going there yourself?"
After he finished speaking, he comforted Liu Tan: "Go back quickly and have a good sleep. Don't be afraid, I'm here. Wu Shilu can't come over."
After saying this, he turned to look at Huo Guang and said, "I'll leave the rest to the Prime Minister."
Then he said something in Wusun language to the cavalry behind him and left with his men in a decisive manner.
Huo Guang looked at Lu Xuan with complicated eyes, and didn't have time to refute him. He was obviously the Prime Minister of Shuofang City, so what did Lu Xuan mean by that request?
When he turned around, he saw his Highness staring blankly at Lu Xuan's back, which was almost blending into the night. He couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "Your Highness, Little Kunmi will come back."
So please stop sitting here like a waitress, okay?
Liu Tan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
It is impossible to rest, he still has a lot of things to deal with.
On the way back, Huo Guang finally seized the opportunity to ask, "Your Highness, the city is safe after the earth dragon turned over. How is the mine?"
Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by earth dragon turning over?"
Huo Guang said, "There was a slight tremor in the city just now, but it wasn't noticeable. Everyone is relatively calm..."
Liu Tan finally reacted after hearing him say that he felt a vibration. He said casually, "It wasn't a dragon turning over. I blew up the coal mine."
Huo Guang: ?????
Because he was too shocked, Huo Guang forgot to control his horse for a moment. If his horse had not followed Liu Tan's horse obediently, he might have been led into the ditch by now.
Liu Tan didn't hear Huo Guang's response and turned to look at him: "Prime Minister?"
Huo Guang found his voice again: "Exploded... exploded?"
