The sky is dawning.

Li Hao stood on the top of Quwei's city with a frown on his face.

We encountered a surprise attack in the middle of the night last night, and the situation was dangerous.

Fortunately, the Li family is not only a clan, but also a cultivator, and the canal is an important place. Although the Li family built a warehouse, there are 300 border troops stationed here. The situation last night was dangerous, but the number of the other party was not large, and in the end they were still there.

They blocked him back.

Nearly one-third of Quwei's warehouses were burned. The losses were considerable, but still within the tolerable range.

The other party had withdrawn before dawn.

At this time, the black smoke from the canal and Weiwei can be seen dozens of miles away.

Li Hao stood at the top of the city. After a fierce battle in the middle of the night and leading people to put out the fire, his face was blackened. There was a wound on his chest with bright red blood.

He looked at the newly extinguished flames in the city and felt like crying.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city, and a team suddenly appeared and suddenly arrived at the foot of Quwei City.

There are only a few hundred people in the entire team, but they are all elite, wearing armor and holding the sharpest points.

Li Hao stood at the top of the city and looked out, and when he saw it was the Han army, he was overjoyed and heard the news from his troops: "Here is the champion Hou Huo Qubing!"

Li Hao trembled, as if the poor people were waiting for a savior, and ran all the way down the city to greet him at the city gate.

The team from outside the city was led by one person riding a tall horse.

The horse's neck was held high, and the muscles on its body were tangled like a small snake, showing infinite strength. The horse's hooves were bigger than a human head. The horse's eyes were full of arrogance, and it was unparalleled.

The man on the horse is none other than the champion of the Han Dynasty, the doctor in charge of the dynasty.

There is a small white horse flanking the champion, and a woman is sitting on the horse, wearing a bronze mask.

Even under the current situation, the woman still attracted the attention of many people. She was wearing an apricot-colored long skirt with white trousers for horseback riding.

Just sitting on the horse, she gives people a charming and charming look.

Inexplicably, almost everyone who saw her had the idea that this woman must be a peerless beauty.

Li Hao, however, had no intention of looking at the woman. He anxiously came closer and saluted Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing got off his horse and walked towards Quwei City, followed by a group of soldiers.

Li Hao followed naturally, bowed to lead the way, and said with a grimace as he walked: "Your Majesty, Li Hao, has met the champion. I, Qu Wei, was attacked last night and the situation is very bad."

Huo Qubing: "I sent you a message in advance, but the grain storage was still burned. You are really incompetent."

Li Hao was unable to argue and said dejectedly: "It is true that my subordinates are incompetent, but the opponent came unexpectedly and knew the situation of our channel and Wei very well. We fought with him to the death and protected most of the warehouse..."

"What's the loss?"

"The loss of nearly one-third of the border army's food reserves may be a bit tense before early spring, but it can still be passed. There should be no major problems." Li Hao's face was sweating slightly. Missing the army food is a serious crime of beheading.

The fire in Quwei has been basically put out, and only a small part of the warehouse was burned by the fire.

Huo Qubing climbed to the top of the city and looked around the city.

Li Hao didn't lie. The area burned was not large and the death penalty can be avoided.

"The other party came out of nowhere. I still haven't figured out how they entered the channel." Li Hao said.

"I asked the scouts to send a message in advance to remind you, but you didn't increase prevention and control in advance?"

Li Hao said hurriedly: "Because of Huo Hou's reminder, I made some arrangements and the other party didn't succeed.

The strange thing my minister said is the way the opponent attacks, as if jumping out of the shadow, making it difficult for people to guard against. Also, they can enter our channels, so I suspect there is an insider."

Then he said: "If you had come two hours earlier, Mr. Huo, you wouldn't have allowed these little people to cause trouble."

Huo Qubing was worried about the border defense situation and left Weinan at midnight yesterday. He first went to the border town in the northeast corner of the Han Dynasty and met with the prefect Zhang Jun to discuss the next mobilization of troops and horses at the border. That was a big deal.

In the early hours of the morning, Fang turned his horse back and came to this canal.

Dong Zhongshu and Dao Zun stayed in the border town and did not follow them.

"Huo Hou, my great-uncle Li Yanqing was captured by that group of men."

Li Hao glanced at Huo Qubing and begged: "I have always heard that Huohou is very fast, please Huohou must take action to save my great-uncle."

Li Yanqing's name appeared in Huo Qubing's memory. He taught him for a period of time when he was a child, but he was very miserable.

The old man fought and failed again and again, and then he seemed to have a psychological shadow, which was very large. He started to go on strike, said that he was determined not to work, and wanted to go home, so he left Chang'an and returned to Longxi.

"Li Yanqing, didn't he scold me behind my back?" Huo Qubing said.

Li Hao was startled and wondered how much hatred the two of you have. One of you will be full of bad words when he hears his name, and the other will know that the other will curse when he hears his name?

"Of course not. When my uncle heard Huo Hou's name in the clan, he said that Huo Hou was second only to His Majesty among the disciples he had taught. He was smart since he was young and would surely achieve great things in the future.

He also gave Huo Hou a name, Wu Qu, saying that Huo Hou was born with Wu Qu and was born victorious in all battles."

Li Hao was secretly amazed by his wit and talent. In order to make Huo Hou happy, he went to save people, and his starting point was always good.

"Martial arts? Isn't it a perverse, straight or something like that?" Huo Qubing said with a smile.

Li Hao was surprised, you all know this.

He did not dare to answer, so he bowed his head and begged again: "Please Huo Hou, please save my great-uncle. He comes and goes mysteriously, and I'm afraid that he will be far away and it will be difficult to find traces.

If we chase them now, with Huo Hou’s speed, we might still have a chance to find them.”

Huo Qubing: "I sent a team to Quwei last night. Counting the time, we are not far behind the team that retreated when the enemy attacked. Since my people are not here, they should have caught up."

Li Hao was overjoyed and greeted him: "It turns out that Huo Hou was prepared and sent someone last night.

I had known that Huo Hou had planned all his plans, and that was indeed the case."

Huo Qubing: "How many people came from the other party?"

Li Hao said: "There are about two to three hundred people. We can't see clearly in the chaos, but it feels like there are not many people. But it is really not easy to deal with. The woman who kidnapped my uncle jumped out from the shadow behind our people, and her speed was astonishing.

”

"The ones coming out of the shadow...are the Hun soldiers from the Tianhun Department."

Bai Nanyu had been listening and interjected: "People from the Tianhun Department can enter Xiguan, so the border defense also needs to be reorganized."

Huo Qubing nodded slightly. No matter how tight the border defenses were, they could not prevent the moths inside.

Some local forces have been entrenched at the border all year round and can always find ways to secretly transport people in.

Just like if the Han army were to enter the grassland, it would be impossible for the Huns to prevent it.

Bai Nanyu said: "If it is the soldiers and horses of the Tianhun Department, I will lead people to catch up and have a look, right?"

Huo Qubing said: "It's not necessary. The Tianhun Department is the elite of the Xiongnu, Cao Ni, and Xiao Qisheng are also the elite of the Imperial Army. There are still several people under their command who are His Majesty's imperial guards. There is no problem in winning. It just depends on whether they can annihilate all their opponents."

As he was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the city, but two teams appeared at the same time.

A team is coming from the south.

Another team comes from the north.

The sky is bright and the sun is rising.

From a distance, one could tell that the people coming from the south were Li's people. Hearing that something had happened to Qu Wei, he came overnight.

Quwei is an important area for grain storage and cannot be ignored. Li Zhao, the head of the Li family in Longxi, is here to lead the team himself.

Li Zhao and other clan members left Chang'an and returned to their respective families after Huo Qubing returned their ancestral belongings.

Outside the city, Li Zhao got off his horse and let out a long sigh of relief when he heard someone said that Huo Qubing was in Quwei.

No matter what the situation is, knowing that this invincible general is here makes people feel at ease.

He walked a few steps from the bottom of the city to the top of the city. When he saw Huo Qubing surrounded by people, he immediately saluted and said: "I am in charge of Longxi. Marquis Lao Huo came here in person. Li Zhao is very grateful."

"Hmm."

Huo Qubing agreed.

At this time, another group of people from the city also came nearby. It was the Imperial Army led by Cao Ni and Xiao Qisheng.

When they galloped over with a team of three hundred people, there were many prisoners on horseback, all dressed in black. They were the Huns who attacked Quwei last night.

Cao Ni and Xiao Qisheng soon arrived at the city:

"Mr. Zhongling, when we arrived at Quwei last night, the other party's scouts spotted us first, so they suddenly withdrew their troops.

We chased and fought with each other. After all, we were in the territory of our Han Dynasty. They had no way to escape and they had no horses. We overtook them and defeated them."

Cao Ni was the emperor's imperial guard with a special status. He only reported to Huo Qubing and didn't even look at anyone else.

"In order to prevent the enemy from retreating and disturbing the people, we pursued them everywhere, so we came back late."

Xiao Qisheng continued: "We captured some prisoners, and the leader turned out to be a woman. This Huns woman is really difficult to deal with. Even though we joined forces, she almost ran away."

"I also rescued an old man and said he was from the Li family."

Cao Niu waved his hand, and some of his followers lifted two people up from below.
