Chapter 217: Conquering the South and the North to Return to Chang'an
After the opening of the Military Mansion, it quickly became the most popular training place for the Chang'an Guards.
Not only can you listen to the sages of military strategists talking about military principles, but the secret realm of the military mansion inside also has a good military training effect.
After Zhao Ponu returned from the Western Regions, he listened to the voices coming from the military mansion and learned a marching method called Eagle Strike.
This is a great boost for the Chang'an Guards, and everyone is excited about it.
Today's military mansion is only accessible in the morning for people to pay homage, and is closed in the afternoon to become a training ground for the Guards.
In the military mansion, the Chang'an Guards, led by Zhao Ponu, were going to the soldier's slip with Huo Qubing's name engraved on it, blessing it and sending it into the army.
As the troops poured in, the soldiers began to grow and become taller and taller.
Zhao Ponu and others used Huo Qubing's military slips to integrate them into the military strength. It was a kind of competition and competition. Which team promoted the growth of the military slips the most, which team had the strongest military will and gathered the strongest troops. This is very intuitive. Just like a competition, they discovered that Huo Qubing's military slips had the effect of corresponding to the strength of the troops and could be used as a ruler.
"Huo Hou is here!"
One hundred people per team, a total of five teams of five hundred soldiers, lined up instantly and looked at Huo Qubing who entered the military mansion.
"Lang Zhongling!"
The short Zhao Ponu came nearby, greeted and explained:
"We found that every time Huo Hou wins a battle, the strength of your corresponding soldier slips increases and changes.
Later, it was discovered that sending troops to the military slips can also promote the growth of Huo Hou's military slips. The height of the growth is determined by the thickness of the military forces.
We, the generals of the guard, and I thought that it would be good for Huo Hou to improve his military fortune by adding military slips to strengthen the troops, so we allowed the troops to try it. Now it has become a way for each team to compete every day."
"Go on, let me take a look."
"Okay."
Zhao Ponu agreed, turned around and shouted: "Give me all your strength, Huo Hou wants to see for himself how high you can push his soldier slips. Which group has the lowest results, and within a month, no one has gone to Huo Hou."
The qualifications for adding military strength to the military briefings where the marquis is located."
"Wei!"
All the troops agreed in unison, with their eyes shining brightly. There was a passionate atmosphere among the troops.
Each team has 100 people, and the competition begins immediately.
Boom!
Military momentum is intangible and insubstantial, but it does exist. It can be understood as something that combines the spirit, will, and morale of the soldiers.
This kind of 'momentum' can only be formed through regular training and accumulation over time. It is a reflection of the elite level of a team and even its combat effectiveness.
Some teams of 10,000 people cannot defeat another team of 1,000 people. This is because one side is an elite with strong military strength and strong will, while the other side is a ragtag group with scattered fighting spirit.
Experienced generals can accurately judge the strength and weakness by looking at the military strength formed by the gathering of troops on both sides.
At this time, the elite of the Forbidden Army, five centuries. The essence, blood, and strong fighting will of each team gathered to form a military force.
Behind them, phantoms of swords and guns appeared, and finally they met and turned into a fierce front. Their spirits blended and soared into the sky.
Outside Chang'an City, a carriage was driving towards the military mansion on the outskirts of the city.
There were several people in the car looking towards the direction of the military mansion from a distance.
Several miles away, one could still feel the fighting spirit permeating the front, and several people had a look of shock on their faces.
"The spirit of this military strategist is as strong and solid as a mountain in front of him. I guess it is the champion who is personally directing the soldiers to train?"
In the car were envoy Roshna from the Western Regions, envoy Gumo, envoy Qiuci and others.
Accompanying them on horseback was Zhang Qian, a tall man with a beard.
When they learned that Huo Qubing had returned from Xiguan, they were eager to ask about the war situation in the Western Regions. They couldn't find Huo Qubing in the city, so they hurriedly chased him to the military mansion on the outskirts of the city.
After the group of people rushed to the military mansion, they were notified and soon saw Huo Qubing standing in front of a group of troops.
Except for the doctor's official robe, there is no other decoration or cumbersome thing on his body. He is clean and free.
The afternoon sun fell in the main hall of the military mansion, making his face a mixture of light and dark, cold and sharp.
The guardsmen in front of him were bursting into cheers.
However, one team won, overwhelming the other four teams, and the cries kept rising.
"Huo Hou!"
Everyone approaches.
Roshna wears a crown on her head and tulle on her face. Her eyes under thick eyelashes are smart and lively. She is dressed in a lake blue Qiuzi dress. She has a body-hugging design. The belt is cross-buckled in front of her body and hangs down from both sides to form long spikes.
, the ups and downs of the steps are as graceful as a graceful dance, full of exotic amorous feelings.
Qiuci dance music is world-famous, and Roshna is also proficient in it. Her temperament matches the dance music, and her every frown and smile seems to have a unique sense of rhythm, which is impressive.
"I've met Huo Hou!" Roshna greeted in a soft voice.
"Huo Hou."
After Zhang Qian held the ceremony, he also said: "We first went to the Weiyang Palace Guards Hall, and then we found out that Huo Hou was in the military mansion.
Luoshina and his entourage wanted to ask about the situation in Xiguan and even the Western Regions. In addition, they had always wanted to see with their own eyes the scene of Huo Hou commanding and training the troops, and His Majesty has agreed.
Huo Hou happens to be here, can you let them see the process of training the army?"
The envoy Gumo, who had a serious face and slender cheeks, said: "I have heard for a long time that Hou Bingfeng, the champion of the Han Dynasty, is invincible. I have already felt the eliteness of the Han army after watching Captain Zhao Ponu command his troops.
But I still want to see how big the gap between Huo Hou’s personal control of the Han army and my Gu Mo and Qiuci’s troops.”
Zhang Qian is responsible for the entire translation process.
Huo Qubing: "It's good to have a look." After saying that, he should first go to the Bingfu Jian on the side corresponding to Yasheng Wu Qi.
Today, the secret realm of the military mansion is always open, but there are forbidden troops stationed at the door and no unauthorized entry is allowed.
Entering the secret realm, it is like passing through a layer of water. The interior is filled with mist, and there is a murderous aura of a military strategist blowing in your face.
Ah!
A roar suddenly sounded in the military mansion, the sound was like thunder and the beating of war drums.
With this sound, the ground shook, and the sound was terrifying.
Gumo, the envoy from Qiuci, and others all felt that the sound was reaching their ears, and their souls seemed to be shattered.
The group of people couldn't help but show shocked expressions.
But in the fog that filled the military mansion, there was a tall figure holding his waist with both hands, roaring violently, and the sound waves rolled, creating tidal ripples in the void.
The power of that roar is so great!
"Which Han general is this, so powerful?" the Kucha envoy asked in surprise.
Zhao Ponu smiled and said: "She is the maid of our general's family, her name is Xiong San."
"Waitress...these roars are coming from a woman?" The Kucha envoy was dumbfounded after hearing Zhang Qian's translation.
My God, Han women are really as ferocious as tigers and wolves, and cannot be measured by common sense.
Huo Qubing's eldest girl, Xiong San, has been in the secret territory of Bingfu for nearly a month.
She seemed to have entered a special state. She ate when she was hungry, slept when she was sleepy, and listened to the sound of military teachings when she woke up. She sat there all day long. When she felt the mood, she would stir up the sound.
Roar like a war drum.
This situation had already begun before Huo Qubing set out to attack Fuyu and Wuhuan.
Everyone else felt that Xiong San was in an abnormal state and reported it to Huo Qubing. He went back to Chang'an twice during this period and visited both times. He was not surprised but overjoyed.
Whenever you do something, there is a state of being obsessed with it and unable to extricate yourself. It is invisibly consistent with the Taoist will, and it is unexplained. It is naturally consistent with the art of war and Taoism. Everything conforms to your heart.
When it returns to its normal state, it will be like the end of the process of 'enlightenment'.
Xiong San, the maid of Huo Qubing's family, is very talented. After this time, she is likely to enter a new realm of magic skills practiced by military scouts.
"Let's go and take you into the military mansion to see the training of our Han army."
As we move forward, the mist disperses.
A line of troops appeared in front, but they were practicing crossbow shooting, spear throwing and other battle formation skills.
Lightning-like halos flashed through the void, and short spears thrown by the Han army were so powerful that they could almost break armor.
Continuing deeper into the military palace, what shocked the envoys from Qiuci and Gumo even more was that in the mist, among the many shadows, there actually appeared an armored and armed force, which was obviously different from the Han army and had an ancient spirit. There were as many as ten thousand troops.
.
They seemed to be walking into an ancient battlefield.
This is the formation pattern in the military mansion, which evolved from the art of doubting soldiers.
Those troops on the battlefield are the Wu Qi military formations that Huo Qubing faced when he first entered the military mansion.
The Han army trained in the secret realm of the military mansion and clashed with the troops that evolved from the ancient battlefield. The whole process was close to actual combat.
The ancient battlefield troops fighting against them were simulated by Wu Qi himself in military formations and created by him. They were once the most elite tribesmen in the Warring States Period and the famous Wei soldiers.
The Han army practiced fighting with the legendary Wei soldiers in the military mansion every day. Although it was an illusion of doubting the tactics of the soldiers, the scene was no different from reality, and the improvement achieved can be imagined.
Amid the shouts of killing, the two sides faced off and clashed with swords.
Without Huo Qubing rehearsing, the Han army's combat effectiveness, reaction, and fighting will can be seen at a glance.
Gumo and the Kucha envoys watched for a moment, feeling goosebumps rising unknowingly, and were deeply shocked.
"I would like to ask Huo Hou what effective methods are available to cultivate a strong army?" envoy Gumo asked.
Huo Qubing said: "Train day after day, then participate in actual combat, integrate the experience of actual combat into daily training, and continue training day after day. Repeat this way, keep fighting with war, until you have experienced hundreds of battles.
, is the most effective training method."
The envoy from Gumo said in astonishment: "Suwen Huohou has military talent, how...how..."
This method sounds ordinary and ordinary. Anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs will know this stupid method.
Huo Qubing said calmly: "The smarter the person, the more stupid things they have to do. Only by combining your intelligence and stupidity and practicing repeatedly can you achieve success."
This statement seems contradictory at first, but when I think about it more carefully, I find it inexplicably profound.
After everyone calmed down, Roshna asked in person: "Huo Hou has just returned from Xiguan. I wonder if Xiguan is going to my Western Region. What is the current situation?
Is there any news from Kucha, Gu and Mexico?"
Huo Qubing: "The Huns were the first to settle in the Western Region. The news I got is that both Qiuci and Gumo were defeated in consecutive battles, and the losses were not huge.
Our Han army has fought out from Xiqiang and is stationed on the front line of Yumen, maintaining a deterrent against Loulan and Pulei."
The situation in the Western Regions before them was beyond Liu Che and Huo Qubing's expectations.
And Huo Qubing rushed to Xiguan, and he was fully capable of solving the crisis of Qiuci and Gumo being attacked by the coalition forces led by Loulan.
He did have the idea of sending troops to penetrate Loulan at the beginning.
But kindness does not control troops, and war has no humanity.
The current situation in Kucha and Gumo is actually very beneficial to the Han Dynasty, which will force them to move closer to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Huo Qubing and Emperor Wu ultimately did not send troops to resolve the crisis in Kucha and Gumo at this stage.
The heat is not yet ready.
Huo Qubing and the emperor were fishing for law enforcement. Qiuci and Gumo were already impatient. When they became more impatient and took the initiative to bite the hook, the big man would send troops again and the harvest would be even greater.
At present, the interests of the country must be carefully controlled to maximize the interests, otherwise there will be further implications, which will only increase consumption.
Roshna looked sad: "What Huo Hou said is the same as the news I got.
In the past half month, tens of thousands of people have died in our two countries, Qiuci and Gumo, including the old and the weak.
The Loulan people are cruel and cruel. Just because we are pro-Han people, they said they wanted to punish the Kucha people, so they set fire to one of our border towns, including the old and the weak, and their heads were hanged, and their bodies were not allowed to be collected."
"Huo Hou, maybe tell me, what's the point of this kind of war? In the end, is the only way to solve everything by force?"
"All parties are eyeing our Western Region. When can we usher in peace and take control of our own destiny?"
This Roshna from Qiuci is also a philosopher and idealist. She discusses the meaning of peace and war whenever she disagrees... Huo Qubing thought about it and said:
"There is a saying that if you don't have soldiers, you don't even have the qualifications to love peace."
"You must first be clear that whether war is coming or not will not be based on whether you like it or not, nor on good or evil, but on whether you have strength."
"If my opponent starts a war, he will pay a heavier price. Will he still dare to come?"
"Imagine if our positions were switched and Lou Lan came to attack my big man, what would be the result?
If they dare to come, I will destroy Loulan.
Roshna, if you want to be peace-loving, you must first learn to hold a knife. If you don't have a knife, find someone else to borrow it, or join a camp that has a knife."
"You have no soldiers, and the peace you talk about is just a joke. Who will listen to you? You hold the butcher knife high while talking about peace. If anyone doesn't believe it, you just kill him. He will definitely believe it. Isn't it very contradictory?" p>
Huo Qubing said: "But this is the fact. Roshna, and these two envoys, you can't defend your country and people. Talking about peace will only make the Xiongnu and Loulan people laugh off their big teeth.
Might makes right, and it remains unchanged through the ages."
