But the infantry in the Han Dynasty was different.

The infantry of the Han Dynasty were able to fight head-on with the powerful Hun cavalry.

The Huns' cavalry did not know how to cooperate or tactics. They could not defeat the elite cavalry led by Wei Qing, and this was accompanied by more than 100,000 infantry and civilians.

It would be strange if you don’t run far away!

On the way, Huo Guang and the general rode forward together.

I don’t know if it was out of boredom or to pass the time. While the two were riding, General Wei Qing suddenly asked: “Person Huo, what do you think of this general Li Guang’s support?”

Huo Guang didn't want to mention this matter.

When Wei Qing saw him, he asked.

Huo Guang said, "Based on my understanding of the general, I should not do this. So I dare to guess that this should be His Majesty's order. Out of his old age for the veteran General Li Guang, are you afraid that he will mislead the matter?"

Wei Qing glanced at Huo Guang, then nodded and said, "I'm smart, but this is just one of them, and there are two other reasons for consideration!"

Huo Guang turned his head slightly and said, "I hope to hear the details."

Wei Qing said just now: "One of the things is that as you said, the veteran General Li Guang is old and this war against the Huns is of great importance and cannot be misunderstood."

"Secondly, the old general has gone through three dynasties and shed a lot of blood to fight against the Huns. Your Majesty does not want to see the old general in his octogenarian die under the sword of the Huns."

"Third, our army was struggling to travel to Mobei, and the soldiers were exhausted. The Huns' cavalry was waiting for their hard work. If they were ambushing our army in front, the situation would be very passive. At this time, if the old general could detour from the flank, it would be more useful than him becoming a vanguard general!"

After hearing the three reasons mentioned by the general, Huo Guang's heart moved slightly.

These two reasons?

I'm afraid it was not what Emperor Wu of Han meant, but the latter reason was probably what the general thought.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, said that he was caring for the veteran General Li Guang, but it was not.

In the early years, Li Guang once stood in the wrong team. Did Your Majesty really forget this?

Actually, it is not the case!

Otherwise, even the three brothers of the Wei family could be granted a marquis. His Majesty wanted to grant a marquis to Li Guang, wouldn't that be a one-word matter?

Although the Han Dynasty was granted a title of marquis for military merits, this was Emperor Wu of Han. He was granted a title of marquis, but he could make an exception to civil officials who had no military merits.

What's more, Li Guang!

The army drove straight in the north of Mo for two days and two nights, and could see many cattle and sheep corpses that were killed by the Huns in the stream.

See these.

Huo Guang hurriedly said to Wei Qing: "General, look, the Huns have already thrown cattle and sheep from the plague in the stream. Fortunately, the soldiers did not drink the stream on the road before, otherwise they would be sick!"

Wei Qing nodded, then dismounted and walked to the stream to see the look.

This rotten corpse, with an unpleasant odor, drifted in the air.

to be honest.

If the general hadn't been to the past, Huo Guang would not have been willing to get closer, but just wanted to stay away from it.

But Wei Qing waved to Huo Guang at this time and said, "Person Huo, come here."

"promise!"

Huo Guang could only walk over with his nose pinched.

Wait until you get closer.

Huo Guang asked: "Have you discovered something by General?"

"It's some discoveries!" Wei Qing nodded and stirred the cattle and sheep's corpse with the branches he picked up, saying, "Look at the level of rottenness of this dead sheep is not serious, which means that it was deliberately put here by the Huns a few days ago!"

Hearing Wei Qing's words, Huo Guang frowned and asked, "What the general means is that if we walk forward for a few more days, will it be possible to encounter these Hun cavalry?"

The general shook his head and said, "The army on both sides is advancing, the Hun cavalry is only concerned about escaping, and our Han army does not know the direction. I am afraid that I will not encounter it within a few days."

"If you are afraid, you will be in trouble."

"The Huns deliberately set up an ambush in front of us. If our army did not know anything, they would plunge into the ambush of the Huns, they would probably suffer heavy losses!"

Huo Guang nodded in agreement with the general's words.

War is a treacherous way!

Although the Huns were not as good as the Han people, they were not fools, so it is hard to guarantee that they would not set up an ambush in the front deliberately.

March and fight.

It's not a joke.

If you are not alert, you may really capsize in the gutter.

After thinking about it, Huo Guang said, "The General is very particular, but his subordinates are not knowledgeable and do not know how to deal with this situation. I hope the General will give instructions?"

Wei Qing said calmly: "In this case, there is no good way to deal with it. The army still has to continue moving forward. It can only increase the number of soldiers who are probing horses in front, and at the same time, slightly lower the speed of the march!"

Huo Guang nodded and said, "I understand, General, I will go and order someone to do it now."

"Um."

Wei Qing nodded and snorted.

After seeing General Wei Qing’s approval.

Huo Guang fled here quickly without saying a word.

The smell of rotting corpses was so bad. Huo Guang felt that his brain was almost stopping thinking.

I don’t know why Uncle Wei Qing turned a blind eye to stay there to study the problem.

After tidying up his armor, Huo Guang turned over his horse again and said to the marching soldiers: "The general has an order to slow down the marching speed, increase the number of spies, and go ahead to explore intelligence!"

"You pass on my words."

"Don't pass the wrong one."

"."

Therefore, the marching speed of the Wei Qing Legion slowed down again.

And within two days of slowing down.

The rear was used to ensure the supply of materials to infantry and civilians, and a batch of good things were transported up in an expedited manner.

It is reasonable to say.

After this batch of materials comes up, the general Wei Qing should be notified first.

But the group of infantry transporting the goods informed Huo Guang first and said, "Person Huo, this is the goods that Your Majesty has rushed to transport from Chang'an. For this reason, countless horses have been exhausted and finally delivered to you today!"

Huo Guang frowned and asked, "Why notify me first, not the general?"

The man quickly scratched his head and replied, "The above only said to hand it over to you, but not to hand it over to the General!"

Huo Guang didn't know what was in the wooden box at this time. Hearing this, he could only frown and said, "What are the things contained here? Food or weapons? Or armor? Open it and show me!"

"promise."

The infantry is only responsible for following the arrangements above, so naturally they don’t know what is inside.

After hearing Huo Guang's words.

He opened the wooden box and looked into his eyes and saw a box of iron lumps tied to a short wooden stick.

The person in charge of transportation has seen this before and asked immediately: "Look, it's all these things, and I don't know what they are for."

However, at this moment.

A ray of light burst out from Huo Guang's eyes.

No one knows this thing!

But he must know him.

This is a grenade made in the border area, which is very primitive and simple. The design drawings were handed over by Huo Guang to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of Han.

now!

Finally made it and shipped it over.
Chapter completed!
