Chapter 134 Breakthrough, national policy [asking for votes]
"Your Majesty said that he has read what Lang Zhongling reported. He asked you to set off back to Chang'an today to discuss it." Zhou Ping responded.
The matter of the memorial... Huo Qubing thought about it.
In addition to the previous joint report with his uncle Wei Qing, Huo Qubing also submitted a follow-up military plan.
Others thought that his military plan was how to contain the Huns in the future.
Actually it's more than that.
The scope of Huo Qubing's memorial was wider. The Huns were newly defeated, and he was already considering the direction of using troops outside the Huns.
The content of his report was that he wanted to expand the country's borders. After defeating the Xiongnu, he would start from the west and northeast of the Han territory.
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was ambitious from the beginning when he came to the throne. He wanted to create a lasting hegemony and make the four barbarians surrender. The Xiongnu was actually just one of the four barbarians, which shows his ambition.
He cultivated Huo Qubing's sharp edge and sharpened his military skills since he was a child, hoping that Huo Qubing would become a pioneer in the future.
Only Huo Qubing, the emperor, the old prime minister Gongsun Hong, and the acting prime minister Li Cai were left.
It's strange that you would look at it casually... Zhou Ping thought to himself.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the development of arrow clusters can also be seen from the Han people's ancestors' outstanding wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship in war, which is a microcosm of the war process.
Call this a fluke?
Will the Huns' hundreds of thousands of fine cavalry be defeated by a fluke?
The scorching sun moves westward.
Later research found that the shape, curvature, and angle of the arrow clusters in the Qin Dynasty were very similar to the bullets of later generations, so they had incredibly powerful armor-piercing properties and could penetrate armor.
Liu Che's face was solemn and he said slowly: "You led thousands of troops to defeat the Xiongnu elite who were several times our own. This is your contribution to the stability of the country. I am deeply gratified."
By the time it was all over, it was almost evening.
The entire process, written by historians, will be recorded in history books and passed down to future generations.
This attack on the Xiongnu shook the national destiny of some of the Xiongnu, and the benefits were greater than imagined.
Later, issues such as wind resistance and penetration began to be considered. The arrow clusters were changed to a flat shape, with pointed front and rear wings, somewhat like a flying swallow. Later, prismatic protrusions were added to the arrow clusters to increase the lethality.
In the vast grassland, there was no place for the Huns to live or stand.
However, the old Prime Minister Gongsun Hong was also looking down at the map drawn by Huo Qubing, thinking silently.
Going back with you, we have to parade in important towns along the way... Wei Qing declined: "Go ahead, your Majesty rarely urges you. Maybe there is something urgent."
There is also a heaven-sacrifice ceremony when the army returns and the soldiers return to their sheaths.
Huo Qubing's eyes were bright and he looked forward to Zixiong, leaving no doubt that he said that every time he sent out tens of thousands of troops, he could defeat the surrounding tribes.
Huo Qubing said: "The so-called openness and loneliness are nothing more than the undulating mountains to the southwest. If we attack there, it can be used as a natural military barrier for our big men. Why not?"
It had only been a few months since Huo Qubing broke into the realm of heaven and human beings, and he was currently at the level of Yuan Shen Yuan.
Li Cai swallowed hard and said: "Huo Hou wants to wipe out the barbarians so that my big man will no longer be disturbed by the surrounding tribes. This is good...but the matter is serious, so we must not act too hastily.
In the chariot, as he practiced, there was a faint clang of soldiers, like the sound of a battle on the battlefield, and the temperature seemed to be dropping.
Of course Li Cai didn't believe it, but the emperor was obviously moved.
Of course, the benefits of a soul breakthrough are also not small.
After Huo Qubing got on the car, he held a bronze arrow cluster and looked at it. Sometimes he would pinch the arrow cluster with his hands to adjust the shape of its front end. Zhou Ping, who was looking at it, was very curious and a little shocked at the same time.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Huo Qubing has lived up to his command and defeated the Xiongnu army. Unfortunately, he was unable to kill the Shan Yu Yi Zhixie." Huo Qubing held a salute in front of the palace, his tone was low, and he had the aura of a general returning from a hundred battles with iron blood.
The carriage set off, and under the protection of the Imperial Guards, a layer of mist suddenly appeared, and it sped out of Beiguan.
Huo Qubing put away the cluster of arrows, then closed his eyes lightly, and his thoughts sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and he began to practice shallow-level warming.
His Consciousness Sea Soldier Talisman, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger were all glowing faintly.
During the subsequent journey, the group stopped briefly at the county towns of Shangjun, south of Shuofang, and Beidi, north of Chang'an.
And it only took him six years to do this.
The arrow clusters of the Han Dynasty basically followed the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty. The development of arrow clusters has become mature and it is difficult to make breakthroughs.
Liu Che took over the border area described by Huo Qubing, looked at it carefully, and was silent for a long time.
In history, if the champion had not died young...where would the Han Dynasty go?
Some people say that the champion's attack was a fluke, and that he might not be that powerful if there were to be a fight. In fact, he fought six battles in six years, and they were all big battles, and he won them all.
In the fourth stage, it is virtual reality, which corresponds to the virtual reality method of the art of war, which means turning virtual reality into reality.
At this time, the whole world was praising the achievements of the Han army in the northern expedition against the Xiongnu. When entering the city, it was inevitable that there would be huge crowds of people and tens of thousands of people surrounding it.
Liu Che asked directly: "Qu Bing, you said in the memorial that you will first defeat the Xiongnu, then attack the Qiang and Di tribes in the west, and try to annex Wuhuan, Fuyu and other tribes in the northeast?"
According to the minister's idea, the army can be used twice a year in the spring and autumn, with up to 10,000 troops each time, to defeat the above tribes. After annexing the Western Region, if the national strength allows, it may be possible to completely eliminate the Xiongnu's troubles and incorporate their territory into the territory.
I am from Han Dynasty."
This time when he came to Beiguan, Zhou Ping properly conveyed his intention to get close to the two military strategists Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.
Huo Qubing took a short rest and then led his team on the journey back to Chang'an that afternoon.
This matter needed some time to buffer. Liu Che felt that the day was almost over, so he waved his hand and asked Li Cai and Gongsun Hong to go down.
Liu Che's imperial edict also asked Wei Qing to return as soon as possible, but he did not explicitly urge him, so Wei Qing's time was more flexible.
The cultivation of Yuan Shen has nothing to do with one's own military realm. It is a kind of "growth" that belongs exclusively to Yuan Shen.
"Yes, after we have wiped out these scattered tribes and unified our forces, we can then go to the Western Regions to fill our territory of Han." Huo Qubing said with enthusiasm.
Liu Che's eyes flashed, he leaned forward slightly and said, "Have you been prepared for this, or has it just happened to you recently?
Do you have a specific plan? There are many things involved in expanding the country's borders. Have you considered it in detail?"
Emperor Wu regarded Huo Qubing as the carrier and implementer of his own spirit, and he himself was the driving force behind it.
The bronze arrow cluster looked like soft clay in Huo Qubing's hands, and he kept changing and adjusting the shape of the parts.
The Yuanshen has different degrees of condensation. The first state is manifestation, and then the mind wanders.
There is also a lot of excitement when entering the city.
Perhaps, the emperor had a similar plan for a long time, but he didn't reveal it clearly. Taking advantage of Huo Qubing's new victory over the Huns, it was in line with his intention to speak out.
Zhou Ping took it as dissatisfaction and felt as if there was a knife and ax hanging from his neck. The murderous intention in the chariot became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. The wave of soldiers rising behind Huo Qubing was invisible and insubstantial, but in the eyes of Tong practitioners
Inside, one can see that its sharp edge seems to shine with the sky and the earth, like the sun shining in the sky.
In the study room, all the ministers retired.
Liu Che's eyes were still looking at the map drawn by Huo Qubing, and he sometimes used a pen to outline and adjust it, including the territory of the Xiongnu, and then looked at it again.
Back at the house, Huo Qubing took a quick bath and then went to the study room, ready to start practicing.
This matter... requires more detailed research. Some areas are empty, lonely, and not rich in products, so we don’t want them."
He opened up thousands of miles of territory, captured more than 150,000 Huns, and annihilated more enemies than anyone else in the entire Western Han Dynasty.
Are you two going to... No, Huo Qubing is really arrogant and tyrannical. It takes a lot to conquer such a huge country, and the national strength can't support it... Li Cai is worried.
What kind of strange power is this... Zhou Ping observed silently for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Huo Hou is studying arrow clusters?"
To be precise, he and Huo Qubing are the unity and extension of their aspirations.
The two of them looked at Huo Qubing and then at the emperor with bright eyes. They felt that they had already discussed this.
After all, he had just defeated tens of thousands of the Xiongnu royal court elites with equal numbers of soldiers.
"Uncle, there is nothing going on in Beiguan at the moment. Can we go back to Chang'an together?" Huo Qubing asked.
Li Cai's head was buzzing, and he thought that if the phase was passed to me, if all the money was spent on fighting, the national treasury would be empty, and the national power would become weaker, wouldn't I want to be infamy for the ages?
Liu Che nodded: "That's good, we want it."
The earliest arrow clusters were very primitive, and most of them just had their front ends sharpened.
"The few places I have specially circled can be attacked first, annexed and digested, and then it depends on the situation.
"Lang Zhongling is our general of the Han Dynasty. He conquers all directions for me and eliminates the troubles of the Xiongnu. This is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the Han Dynasty."
To be continued...
