Huo Qubing said: "After I left Chang'an, I passed through Wudu County and rushed to the western border of our Han Dynasty. I led my troops to attack and march along the way for training."
During the Han Dynasty, the western frontier was closer to Chang'an.
Liu Che said with a smile: "Run and attack quickly? I ask you, when you rushed to attack, did you lead your troops to fight?"
"Hit, I must have a target for my attack. I left Wudu County and went to the military camp of the western frontier army to inquire. There were Di, Qiang and other foreign tribes relying on small groups of rangers to harass the border. I led the troops to attack two foreign tribes.
The cavalry team." Huo Qubing responded.
The Di tribe was the tribe that later gave birth to Fu Jian, and was one of the sources of unrest in China during the Five Husties.
Liu Che laughed loudly: "Why don't you report your merits when you come back?"
"The raid on the foreign cavalry was just a matter of military training. We didn't kill many enemies, so it's not worth mentioning." Huo Qubing said.
"It's not worth mentioning. The two foreign rangers you destroyed often moved due to the terrain and the convenience of coming and going quickly. There were border villages that couldn't be disturbed. They retreated when the border troops came out. The border troops retreated them.
Just come."
Liu Chedao: "You have always led troops quickly and bravely. You are the nemesis of these rangers and you have done a good job. I didn't know until the border troops reported and sent them over as soon as possible."
"This should be rewarded. I know that you have always wanted to join the army and fight. Therefore, I will allow you to officially take up a military position. First, I will give you the title of...Piao Yao Colonel."
Piao Yao means vigorous and swift, which is quite consistent with Huo Qubing's way of leading troops.
Captain is a middle-to-high-level military position, second only to general.
Lieutenant Piao and Yao... are exactly the same. Once this title is given, there will probably be a war... Huo Qubing thought.
He vaguely remembered that the Battle of Dingxiangbei in history was probably in April, but the mid-to-early Western Han Dynasty in history used the ten-month calendar, and this part of the world was changed by the First Emperor early on, so it should probably have happened in May or June.
