The sky was a little overcast, and the sun appeared and disappeared in the clouds.
Huo Qubing didn't respond why he was in a hurry to return to Chang'an.
Zhang Jun did not ask any more questions, but instead asked: "After Huo Hou leaves, is there anything you can ask me to cooperate with in the arrangements for Xiguan? For example, what if Roshna comes as promised and can't see Huo Hou?"
Huo Qubing had already thought about it and said: "Since I can't go to Yangguan and Yumen, I will send an order to Zhao Ponu and ask him to inform Roshna to change the meeting place to Chang'an."
Zhang Qian was stunned and couldn't go to the Western Regions, so he asked Roshina to go all the way to Chang'an.
Would Roshna, who is highly respected in the Western Regions, agree?
"There are many large and small tribes in Xiqiang. It is impossible for them to be united in their enemies against the Han people. They have different internal attitudes, which is a good thing for us. We can win over some and get rid of some." Huo Qubing said.
Zhang Jun hummed, he knew this very well.
The ancient Qiang tribe is the part that needs to be eliminated.
In comparison, Fan Xi, Zhou Ping and others felt their faces heat up.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Gongsun Hong said: "Prefect Zhang said that this march map was drawn by the champion Hou to deduce the outcome of both sides before the battle. What is rare is that later the champion Hou led his troops to defeat the enemy. The march route and the opponent's response methods were all consistent with the judgments on the map.
Match.
Liu Qing looked a little surprised, wondering what happened that required the emperor and Wei Qing to send news at the same time.
"A few days ago, I paid a visit to Champion Hou at his residence. The concierge said that Huo Hou and the princess were on a trip and would be back in half a month. I just found out today that what was sent back in half a month was news of war. Champion Hou defeated the enemy in Xiguan and won."
The key to dividing the Qiang people is not to send out a single soldier.
Several family heads knew that Zhang Jun, the governor of Xiguan, also had his mother's surname from the Li family, so it was not surprising that he also sent news to the Li family.
And his agreement meant that after Huo Qubing passed away, he would let some of the border troops continue to advance westward, so that they could cooperate with Zhao Ponu.
I will let Zhao Ponu deliberately spread the news that Roshna is coming to our Han territory. When Loulan, Pulei and other countries know about it, they may interfere with it.
Huo Qubing took Liu Qing to ride Jin'an again and rode around the West Sea for a while.
Gongsun Hong also said: "After reading the march map, the Western Qiang tribes will be more frightened and frightened by the military intentions of the champion prince compared with the terrain of Xiguan and the strength of the ancient Qiang tribe.
"If the champion doesn't come back, the inherited items in our family will always be kept in the military mansion and are difficult to take out. The energy is slowly stripped away by the military mansion. If he doesn't return for another month, those inherited items will contain
I’m afraid the essence will be completely consumed.”
"What did the prefect say?" a family head asked.
"Look, sirs, this is a memorial from the Governor of Xiguan Zhang," the emperor said.
Only Li Cai and Gongsun Hong looked like they were thinking about the emperor's intentions: "Your Majesty wants to spread the memorial and marching plans from Xiguan?"
The news of the urgent border customs was delivered to Weiyang Palace in the morning after two nights and one day.
Xu Jia was surprised and said: "Lang Zhongling said that Zhao Ponu took away 700 forbidden troops, plus 60 forbidden troops to protect the princess. Then don't Lang Zhongling only have these 30 forbidden troops' personal guards left?"
Huo Qubing said dumbly: "There are always wars everywhere. I am in Chang'an, but there are not as many wars as at the border. If you insist on coming, just ask Prefect Zhang. If he agrees to let me go, then come to Chang'an to find me."
The Imperial Guards always followed far behind and did not move forward.
Military generals naturally hope to have more opportunities to achieve military exploits.
Liu Che has always been good at using unexpected things to influence the overall situation.
The relevant news, with the emperor's approval, first spread in Chang'an.
What's more important is that this gift is given to various tribes of Xiqiang. What effect do you think it will have?"
The deeper benefit is that it can intensify the factional conflicts within the Qiang people and prevent them from unifying their opinions."
It's getting late.
Li Zhaodao: "He said that the champion Hou drew a marching map, and the pre-war deductions and the subsequent war process were consistent one by one.
But the other part of the Qiang people, which are not bordering the Han territory, are far away, and have not been stained with the blood of the Han people, can win over and divide the Qiang people.
But the other Qiang people who believe in it will have differences with them, which will increase the conflicts in dealing with the relationship with the Han people.
If necessary, I hope Governor Zhang can dispatch the border troops to cooperate with Zhao Ponu's troops.
Li Cai was quick in thinking, his eyes brightened on his handsome and upright face: "Your Majesty has a wonderful plan."
Li Cai personally rolled up his sleeves and went to the battlefield in his early years. He could also see the mystery of the march map and nodded in agreement.
"A champion should not be so generous."
The blue sky seems to sink into the lake, and the sky and the earth echo each other, showing the beauty of nature.
Several people took turns reading Zhang Jun's memorial and Huo Qubing's march map.
Zhang Jun agreed and said he would cooperate according to Huo Qubing's idea.
The generals are Li Guang, Li Gan and his son, and Cheng Buji.
Loulan is a small country, but it dares to compete with my big Han enemy. How can it be worthy of him without destroying his country and destroying his family?" Huo Qubing said.
They colluded with the Xiongnu all the year round and harassed the Han Dynasty. The two sides had long been a mortal enemy and could not be relieved.
"In addition to the Qiang people, the countries in the Western Regions that need to be on guard most are the Loulan and Pulei countries, which have close ties with the Xiongnu.
In Chang'an City, in a deep courtyard, a group of clan leaders gathered together.
————
Xu Jia suddenly plucked up the courage and said, "Xu Jia wants to follow Lang Zhongling, but I wonder if Lang Zhongling might agree?"
At this time, Liu Qing asked: "My husband suddenly wants to return to Chang'an, but something happened in Chang'an?"
Huo Qubing had already jumped onto Liu Qing's carriage, whistled, and quickly drove away.
The clan members with good eyes and ears soon learned the inside story.
"It's hard to say..."
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "How did you know that Huo Hou had no other arrangements? Maybe he did this deliberately to lure the enemy. How can a military strategist let everyone know what is true and what is true?"
A group of civil and military officials came to the study room very quickly to follow the emperor's orders.
Several family heads looked at each other for confirmation and were all stunned.
This kind of military tactics is truly impressive."
Zhang Qian did not follow back to Chang'an. Under Zhang Jun's arrangement, he would continue heading west to meet Zhao Ponu and Roshna.
Zhang Jun admired Huo Qubing's accuracy in judging the enemy's situation when he was responding to the enemy.
He has taken away 700 imperial troops. I will let him escort Roshna from the countries in the Western Region to Loulan in the south. If Loulan dares to send troops to obstruct it, the prefect will send troops to support Zhao Ponu, and he will attack Loulan in a flash.
After the carriage went away, Huo Qubing asked the charioteer to go to the back to accompany the imperial army, and he sat down at the shaft of the carriage.
The thirty imperial guards followed at a distance, and several of the princess's personal attendants also followed behind.
Zhou Ping and Fan Xi also understood.
The sparkling lake water is like a huge and hard gem, brilliantly and transparently embedded in the vast basin.
They have been discussing in the past few days whether they should expand the country's borders, use troops everywhere, and consume national power.
The civil servants were very distressed and did not want to strain their muscles and exhaust their national strength.
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "That's all I have to say. You all have a long time to come." After saying that, he prepared to leave.
The civil servants were headed by the prime ministers Gongsun Hong and Li Cai, and the rest were only a few important ministers among the nine ministers.
I don’t know what the specific matter is.”
The surrounding area is surrounded by four dangers, and Huo Qubing only brought thirty imperial troops on his side, which was extremely daring.
This has been the case throughout his entire governing career, putting his opponents at a disadvantage without realizing it, and by the time they react, it may already be too late.
What he meant was to remind me not to get close to civil servants in Chang'an easily.
At this time, the emperor showed the ministers how Huo Qubing used troops in Xiguan and defeated the enemy with a small number of close troops. It was like slapping the civil servants in the face.
Huo Qubing gently pinched the horse's belly, Jin'an let out a roar, and the four horses responsible for pulling the cart followed behind it, speeding up and embarked on their way back east.
Liu Che immediately ordered people to copy many copies of the march map and the memorial of Zhang Jun, the prefect of Xiguan, and rushed them to Xiguan and the Qiang tribes.
This is the strategy of making friends at a distance and attacking at short distances.
If the various tribes of the Qiang people read Huo Qubing's military strategy and battle scenario, pro-Hongnu people may not believe that it was drawn before the war and dismiss it.
Li Zhaodao, the head of the Li family in Longxi: "Earlier today, in addition to the memorial sent to His Majesty from Xiguan, Governor Zhang also sent me a message through another channel, which was only slightly later than the memorial sent to the palace.
.”
"Please rest assured, doctor."
At the court meeting this morning, there was still a dispute between civil and military officials.
Not to mention that Qu Bing went to Xiguan to fight in person during his wedding, which should be known to the world.
Huo Qubing pondered: "His Majesty and his uncle passed the embroiderers in almost no particular order and sent me a message, asking me to suspend my journey to the west and go back.
Liu Che showed a satisfied look: "Exactly.
After the disbandment of the dynasty, Liu Che read the memorial written by Zhang Jun, the governor of Xiguan, and the march map that was sent back with him, so he asked his chamberlain Dong Xu to summon all the officials.
The two of them walked around the West Sea for an hour.
"Prefect, Lang Zhongling only has dozens of people with him. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to deal with it?" Xu Jia was eager to give it a try.
Xu Jia bowed his head and agreed, then turned to look at Zhang Jun.
If the situation forces you to choose a side, let me consider it carefully. His suggestion is consistent with the military strategists, and we will provide resources to the military strategists behind the scenes."
Chang'an.
Jin'an trotted next to the car and looked sideways at the frame, as if wondering why Huo Qubing took the car instead of riding it.
The emperor said: "Do you understand my intention of letting you see this memorial and the march plan?"
Liu Qing also lifted the curtain and came out, sat down next to him, and swung his feet in small leather boots outside the carriage.
They consulted at the rear, while Huo Qubing fought at the front, seeking benefits for the Han Dynasty, especially during his wedding period.
On the other side, Zhou Ping looked at each other.
The leader of the Wang family in Taiyuan thought for a long time: "We have also heard about the march map. Is it really so magical?"
Li Zhong, the head of the Li family in Zhaojun, said: "You tell me what's the use of this, I just want to get back the general's sword in my family.
It was a miscalculation to come to Chang'an this time. If you make one mistake, you will make mistakes every step of the way. It is only right for the champion to come back as soon as possible and take back the inherited items."
And that evening, Huo Qubing rode his horse into the city from the west gate and returned to Chang'an.
Ps: I’m not satisfied with what I wrote. I adjusted it again. It’s a little late. Sorry~
