To ensure that no one regretted it, they made a poisonous oath together.

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

Liang Xiao glanced at the five Yue women who were already scared and looked disgusted. "Did they see the whole process?"

"Guan Fuman said indifferently: Of course I saw it."

"You want to kill them?"

"Will you let them go out?"

Guan Fu bared his teeth and smiled, like a beast that chose people to eat. Seeing his expression, Liang Xiao understood his intentions. When Guan Fu killed Han Yan, he had already had the intention to silence him, just like those two young men. In his opinion, these Yue women were not worth considering at all. Asking him about how to deal with it was purely out of politeness.

For Guan Fu, this is already a rare respect.

But Liang Xiao didn't want to kill these five Yue women. He knew that it was a hidden danger to keep these five women, but he was uneasy to kill them.

"Can you kill the entire Kuangjia Village?"

Guan Fu scratched his eyebrows without saying a word.

"Leave them to me for arrangements, and I will take care of them and keep their mouths shut."

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

"That's also fate." Liang Xiao glanced at Guan Fu, Yun Tanfeng Qing. "Don't worry, even if there is no such thing, the emperor wants to kill you and me, there are countless reasons. Killing innocent people indiscriminately will hurt your virtues, but it will not be beautiful. Are you afraid now?"

Guan Fu was slightly stunned, then smiled again. "I'm afraid of a bird! OK, I'll listen to you."

Liang Xiao wrote the memorial and sent the man to rush back to Chang'an.

Han Yan died, and the carnival in Kuangjia Village continued for several days before it dispersed. During these days, Liang Xiao and leaders such as Kuang En discussed that building a large amount of wood is needed, and Liang Xiao hopes that each village will provide labor. Hearing that there is an opportunity to make money, Kuang En and others naturally want it. At the request of Liang Xiao, they first provided dozens of guides.

The five Yue girls were among them.

Liang Xiao gave their parents a sum of money, bought them, and rewarded them to Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo and other nearby servants as wives and concubines to ensure that they were within their control. The five Yue women also knew that Liang Xiao saved their lives and dared not refuse. Their parents got the money, but had no objection, and they reached the deal quickly.

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

As for Han Yan, Liang Xiao prepared a good coffin for him, and Han said that he would escort him back to Chang'an. As for whether the Han family would send him to the ancestral tomb, it was not among Liang Xiao's concerns. How Han Yan got along with Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen in the underworld, Liang Xiao didn't care.

His opponents were never these people.

In mid-December, Yan An, the envoy to South Vietnam, completed his mission. After Yuzhang, he met Liang Xiao, who had just completed the nearby forest survey.

Liang Xiao slighted the friendship of the landlord and naturally asked about the situation in Nanyue.

Although Yan An didn't have a deep relationship with Liang Xiao and was much older than Liang Xiao, he was able to talk to Liang Xiao very well. When Liang Xiao asked about the situation in Nanyue, he said with emotion: "Mr. Liang Jun, have you been to Nanyue before?"

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

"The geographical situation of Nanyue is just as Junhou said, and it is not convenient to march." Yan An took out the silk book that was hidden very tightly and spread it in front of Liang Xiao, with a gloomy face. "Junhou Liang, look."

Liang Xiao was surprised and happy, so he hurriedly took it over and checked it carefully. "This is the Nanyue map. How did you get it?"

"Your Majesty must have never imagined that this was offered by Zhao Hu, the King of Nanyue." Yan An talked about his journey to Nanyue.

It turned out that the information obtained from the expedition was wrong. King Zhao Hu of Nanyue did not intend to form an alliance with Minyue. This war was purely initiated by Minyue. A few years ago, Zhao Tuo just passed away. Zhao Hu was young and had little experience in government management. 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 it, so he provoked the war. Faced with the attack of Minyue, Zhao Hu had already lost his position, so he asked the Han Dynasty for help.

"So, Nanyue has no intention of rebellion?"

"No." Yan An smiled and said, "Zhao Hu was worried about internal and external troubles, so he dared to be an enemy of the court. Now he was looking forward to the court's army coming to help quickly, so he handed over the map to me. This time I returned, followed the map, checked the relevant terrain, and found that as Junhou said, it was extremely difficult to march."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, just stared at the map. Whether Nanyue was intentional to confront the Han Dynasty was not a decisive factor. No matter how obedient Zhao Hu was, Emperor Wu of Han could no longer tolerate the existence of a different kingdom of Nanyue. The Nanyue Kingdom was not the Minyue Kingdom or Changsha Kingdom. His strength was too strong and he had a record of fighting against the central dynasty. As long as he had the chance, Emperor Wu of Han would 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 trouble.

What's more, Zhao Hu can't make any decision now. Whether the powerful ministers in South Vietnam are willing to submit to the court is the key to whether they can successfully resolve the South Vietnam issue.

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

"It may not seem like it's big." Yan An shook his head. "So, our army should be prepared for a strong attack. If we march by land, the army will be exhausted and blocked by mountains and rivers. It will inevitably be blocked outside South Vietnam like Longluhou's situation back then."

"Longluhou?"

"Yes, in the seventh year of Gaohou, Zhao Tuo sent troops to attack Changsha. Gaohou once sent Longlu Hou Zhouzao to lead his troops to attack Nanyue, but was blocked from Nanling. The soldiers were not accustomed to the land and the plague was spreading, and there were heavy casualties..."

Liang Xiao was both happy and ashamed when he heard Yan An explain the previous war. He was happy that Yan An had done a lot of preparations. This time he went to Nanyue to gain a lot. He was ashamed that he knew nothing about the war. He was so lucky that he did not speak out loud, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

Liang Xiao praised: "Mr. Yan is competent this time, and I believe His Majesty will be very satisfied."

"The Lord and the Lord should be satisfied," Yan An smiled and said: "It is not advisable to march by land, and the tower ships will definitely be very popular. The Lord and the Lord and the Lord will build ships in Yuzhang. In the future, the Lord and the Lord will definitely be the vanguard. I hope the information I have collected can provide some reference for the Lord and the Lord."

Liang Xiao smiled but said nothing. He understood Yan An's meaning. However, Yan An obviously hadn't touched the emperor's vein yet. He thought the emperor would let him lead the army in the southern expedition, hoping to have the opportunity to make meritorious service.
