Chapter 88: The Loyal Soul is in the Palace of Loyal Soul

Zhou Yang changed his mind and followed Zhao Hu to the Nanyue Palace.

From a distance, I saw an old man with white hair and beard standing at the entrance of the palace with a crutch. It was Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo was not written into history textbooks. If Zhou Yang had not come to the Han Dynasty, he would not have known that there would be such a person. Based on Zhou Yang's understanding of him and his actions, he could have called him the "Guardian of Nanyue".

Zhou Yang had a good impression of this legendary old man, so he quickly flew off the horse, tidied up his clothes, and walked forward quickly: "Zhou Yang has seen the king!"

"Haha!" Zhao Tuo smiled brightly, and his bright eyes glanced at Zhou Yang: "Zhao Tuo has heard of the reputation of the general, but he didn't expect that the general was handsome and handsome, handsome young man!"

Who is not so emotional when he sees Zhou Yang?

If he could defeat the 500,000 Huns, he must be an amazing hero. He should be eight feet tall, with his eyes as bronze eyes, and his majestic appearance. Who would have thought that Zhou Yang was like a fan of Fu's face and was a young man.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Tuo patted Zhou Yang's shoulder intimately: "You should not behave like a woman. You are as beautiful as a woman, but you are a peerless and wise man, and you can't beat him in the world. The handsome man is also a great hero, and he is rare in the world. Haha!"

Zhao Tuo is almost 100 years old. He is considered to be Zhou Yang's great-great-grandfather. He is so kind that Zhou Yang feels close to his elders and smiles: "Do you think my appearance is a bit disappointed?"

"Funny people, interesting people!" Zhao Tuo stretched out his thin right hand and pulled Zhou Yang.

Zhu Maichen, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui and others came forward to greet him. They were like Zhou Yang, and they had a good impression of Zhao Tuo and were very respectful to him.

When Qin Wuhui bowed to Zhao Tuo, he was so excited that he was a descendant of the Qin army, and Zhao Tuo was the last soldier of Qin Shihuang's 500,000 southern expedition army. They had a special connection, although they had never met.

Zhao Tuo praised Qin Wuhui for Youjia, and kept praising him as a good person. He did not lose the prestige of the Qin army and dared to fight against the Huns to the end. Although Zhao Tuo was a member of the Southern Expedition Army, Qin Wuhui was a descendant of the Qin army in the north. After all, they were all Qin army, and that kind of emotion could not be described by writing.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Master, please!"

"Master, please!" Zhou Yang followed him into the palace.

The Nanyue Palace is actually not big. Its architecture and furnishings are far from being compared with the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. It can be said to be very simple.

This is still good. Sixty years ago, when the Qin army marched south, there was no city in Lingnan and there was not even Panyu. The Yue tribes lived in various places, and they were not even clear about what the city was like. After the Qin army arrived, they not only pacified Nanyue, but also built cities and Panyu.

With the efforts of the Qin army and the people who moved to Lingnan, Nanyue underwent earth-shaking changes, but due to geographical restrictions and too small population, the changes are still limited. It is already commendable to achieve such achievements at present.

Zhao Tuo was very happy, not at all like a hero who had been dominating Nanyue for decades, but like a kind elder and a hospitable master. He greeted Zhou Yang and the others: "Sit down, sit down quickly!"

Extreme enthusiasm. No wonder Zhao Tuo left the Central Plains sixty years ago and entered Lingnan, but never returned to the Central Plains again. He had a natural sense of closeness to the people of the Central Plains. However, over the past sixty years, although there have been many people entering Lingnan in the Central Plains, few of them were his guests.

It is Lu Jia and Yuan Ang, two famous lobbyists, who received his courtesy, were far less famous than Zhou Yang.

At this moment, Zhao Tuo was full of joy, and it was his most joyful day in decades. When he was in a foreign land for decades, he suddenly saw his hometown. The feeling of closeness was far beyond the description of his writing.

"Thank you, King!" Zhou Yang and the others sat down.

Zhao Tuo did not sit down, but took the tea delivered by the servant and handed it to Zhou Yang and the others. After handing over the tea, Zhao Tuo sat down with Zhao Hu's support.

"Zhao Tuo has been in Nanyue for more than 60 years. Today, I am very comforted to see the general! Very comforted!" Zhao Tuo held his beard and his old face was full of smiles.

Seeing Zhao Tuo's smile in his eyes, Zhao Hu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he was happy on behalf of Zhao Tuo.

"The success of Nanyue today depends entirely on the support of the king. The king is really the hero of China!" Zhou Yang praised sincerely.

That's right, if Zhao Tuo hadn't been, what would Nanyue look like? No one could say. One thing is undeniable, that is, the land of Lingnan would never be like this now. There would not be such achievements, and would not be so close to the Han Dynasty. Maybe it would have been destroyed by Zou Ying long ago.

Once Zou Ying destroyed Nanyue, he almost unified the land of Baiyue. The unification of Baiyue was a huge threat to the Han Dynasty. He had to send heavy troops to defend, which consumed a lot of money and would not have much power to deal with the Huns.

More importantly, China is likely to lose its southern China and will no longer have the current Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan Island. These provinces have a large area. If there is no southern China, will China still be China?

It can be said that it is precisely because of Zhao Tuo that he guarded Lingnan and bought time for the Han Dynasty to collect Baiyue. Zhao Tuo made great contributions, and it is not an exaggeration to praise him as a hero.

"Haha!" Zhao Tuo was a general under Qin Shihuang's command, and led his army to the Baiyue land to establish a great achievement. However, the Qin Dynasty was soon destroyed, and no one admitted his contribution. This was a pity and a heart-wrenching problem. His contribution was recognized by others, which was a kind of happiness, but because of the destruction of the Qin Dynasty, this recognition did not come.

Surrounded by a huge sense of happiness, Zhao Tuo stood up with a crutch in his hand, smiling and red, as if he was twenty years younger.

Zhu Maichen glanced at Zhou Yang and thought to himself that Zhou Yang was really good at speaking. Zhao Tuo was so happy that he was like a child who had eaten honey. Then he thought, Zhou Yang was not flattering, but the truth, Zhao Tuo was a well-deserved hero.

"Oh!" Surprisingly, Zhao Tuo suddenly sighed, with tears in his eyes, and he knelt in front of Zhou Yang.

Zhao Tuo has nearly a hundred people. In terms of seniority, he can be Zhou Yang's great-great-grandfather. He actually knelt down at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang was really surprised and stepped forward to help him: "King, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."

"No!" Zhao Tuo said stubbornly: "Master, Zhao Tuo has a request, so please let the Master agree."

"King, if you have something to do, get up and say it." Zhou Yang supported him.

Zhao Tuo still insisted on kneeling: "The general has no idea, and Zhao Tuo's request is very difficult. If the general agrees, Zhao Tuo cannot repay him, so he can only kowtow to the general!"

Unable to let Zhou Yang say nothing, a gray head knocked down, and Zhou Yang hurriedly supported him: "Master, what's the matter? If I can do my best, I will definitely help you."

Look at his situation, it must be a huge matter, and Zhou Yang dared not agree.

"King, let's talk about it if you have something to do." Zhu Maichen stepped forward and helped Zhao Tuo up with Zhou Yang.

"This matter is extremely important, but no one can help me except the Grand Marshal." Zhao Tuo was very excited and his body kept shaking.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yang looked solemn.

"Master, please follow me." Zhao Tuo leaned on a crutch: "Go to the Loyal Soul Hall!"

"Loyal Soul Hall?" Zhao Hu exclaimed: "Dafu, what is in the Loyal Soul Hall?"

The Loyal Soul Hall is a forbidden area in Nanyue. No one can get in except Zhao Tuo. Even Zhao Hu, the grandson, cannot do it. Therefore, Zhao Hu still doesn’t know what is inside.

There are many rumors about the Loyal Soul Palace. Some people say it is the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by Zhao Tuo, and some people say it is the place where Zhao Tuo sings and dances and enjoys countless beauties... What exactly is inside is still a mystery.

"Loyal Soul Palace?" Zhou Yang muttered secretly, but he was puzzled. He glanced at Zhao Hu, saw his surprise, and thought to himself that this place was unusual, what was Zhao Tuo's idea?

Although he was confused, he still followed Zhao Tuo. Zhao Hu, Zhu Maichen, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian and others followed quickly.

The Loyal Soul Palace is not far from the palace. Under the leadership of Zhao Tuo, Zhou Yang and the others arrived soon.

This is a typical Qin-style architectural style. The buildings in the palace adopt the Qin-yue fusion style. Each building has both Qin-style and Yue-style. Only this Loyal Soul Hall is the only one with Qin-style buildings.

The Loyal Soul Hall covers a huge area, and many Qin guards dressed in black are patrolling, guarding like iron buckets.

"What exactly is in the Loyal Soul Hall?" Zhou Yang was puzzled.

Not only Zhou Yang is puzzled, but also Zhu Maichen and others can solve this problem?

The guards of Qin Wei saluted Zhao Tuo with great respect.

Qin Yi quickly walked over and greeted Zhao Tuo: "I have met the king."

"Qin Yi, come on, come on, I have met Marshal Zhou." Zhao Tuo smiled at Qin Yi,

"Qin Yi has met the commander-in-chief." Qin Yi responded and greeted Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang looked at Qin Yi and saw that he was tall and extremely strong. He was wearing Qin armor and carrying Qin swords on his waist. He was extremely majestic and very happy: "A good warrior!"

"His eldest father and I went south to fight... Alas!" Zhao Tuo seemed to remember something, sighed and shook his head.

"Open!" Zhao Tuo ordered.

"King, are you?" Qin Yi hesitated and looked at Zhou Yang.

"There is now, there is no need to hide it anymore." Zhao Tuo shook his head slightly, feeling very much.

"No!" Qin Yi responded, took out the key, opened the lock, and pushed open the door.

"Master, please!" Zhao Tuo walked in his head with a cane. Zhou Yang and the others followed him into the Loyal Soul Hall.

"Ah!" Zhao Hu's surprise voice was high and sharp, with an incredible look on his face.

"This..." Zhou Yang's chin almost fell to the ground.

"This..." Zhu Maichen, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian and others widened their eyes and petrified directly.

It’s not that their psychological quality is not good enough, but it’s really surprising, and even in dreams, the Loyal Soul Hall is filled with urns.

The entire hall was filled with urns, densely packed, no less than 100,000 yuan. Who would have thought of such a large number of urns? If Zhou Yang had not seen him personally, he would not have believed him.

There are many rumors about the Loyal Soul Palace. Zhao Hu heard too many. He thought about various possibilities. The biggest possibility is that this is a place to hide treasures. Unexpectedly, it was an urn, and his chin almost swelled his feet.

Some of these urns have peeled off their paint, which seems to be a long time ago. Some are still shining with black light and are obviously put in for a while.

"Big Father, this is...slaughter..." Zhao Hu wanted to ask, but when he saw the spiritual position in the middle, he could no longer ask.

This tablet says "The Spiritual Position of Tu Sui of Daqin".

Tu Sui's commander of the Qin army in the south was led by 500,000 Qin army in the south. In the early stages of the southern expedition, the Qin army made a very smooth progress and occupied a large area of ​​land. However, due to the lengthening of the supply line and the logistics could not be guaranteed, the Qin army's progress was extremely difficult, which can be described as difficult to move forward.

The war was in a stalemate, and the resistance of the natives was still fierce. They attacked the Qin army whenever they had the chance. The commander of the Qin army Tu Sui was killed in an indigenous attack.

Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin army has been invincible, invincible and invincible. The commander died in battle only twice. Once, Meng Tian's grandfather Meng Ao died at the hands of Xinlingjun, and the other time, Tu Sui died in Lingnan.

Tu Sui was a general during the reign of Qin Shihuang. He had great military talents. He followed Qin Shihuang to fight the world and made great contributions. Although he died in Lingnan, he did not damage his greatness and could not erase his contribution to Chinese history.

The clay pot is inevitably broken, the general is inevitably killed in front of the formation, and the arrows fly across the battlefield, and it is normal to die in the battlefield.

Zhou Yang was both surprised and excited when he first saw the tablet of this famous general sixty years ago. Although Tu Sui died in battle, the Qin army successfully pacified Lingnan, which was not unrelated to him. As the commander, Zhou Yang knew the difficulty of this matter and could not help but be excited.

Next to Tu Sui's tablet is Ren Xiao's tablet. Ren Xiao was the first Nanhaiwei of the Qin Dynasty. This person had both military and political talents. After Tu Sui died in battle, the Qin army pacified Lingnan under his command.

After pacifying Lingnan, he ordered Qin Shihuang to be the Nanhaiwei and began to manage the land of Lingnan. Under his governance, the Qin army built cities in Lingnan, and a large number of people from the Central Plains moved Qin Shihuang to Lingnan to develop Lingnan.

It can be said that it was Ren Xiao who planned the blueprint for Lingnan. If it weren’t for him, there would be no Lingnan.

Unfortunately, this man died young. Before he died, he summoned Zhao Tuo to his sickbed, instructed him some things, and handed over the power of the Nanhaiwei to Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo then officially took over the control of the Qin army in Lingnan, and Zhao Tuo, the King of Nanyue, was the King of Nanyue.

Next to these two tablets is a long row of names of the Qin generals. There is no long row, but there are as many as hundreds.

There are many shelves in the hall, and the shelves are filled with urns. In front of each urn box, there is a wooden slip with its name, place of birth, time of death, and merits, which are very detailed.
