Chapter 83 Liu Che, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing [Please order and vote]
Huo Qubing returned to Chang'an.
His surprise attack on the Xiongnu rear became known to the whole world after Liu Che issued an edict to inform the people.
Even outside the city of Chang'an, people came out to greet him, not only to see Huo Qubing, but also to watch the military might of the Han army.
There are not many spectacular scenes where you can see armies in armor.
"That's the Han army that defeated the Xiongnu? Is this the strongest army of our Han Dynasty?"
The people were very excited to watch the military parade. They were blocked on both sides of the road by the defenders in the city, but their interest did not diminish at all. They raised their feet and looked at the troops approaching from far away.
"Is the champion at the front?"
"My God, the horse he rode was so tall. It is said to be a thousand-mile horse that can travel five thousand miles a day. It ran like a gust of wind. The Huns didn't even see who was killed until they died?"
"This remark is disgusting. Huo Yao is a general, but he is not a monster. How can he travel five thousand miles in a day? A bird cannot fly five thousand miles in a day."
This was a military salute during the Han Dynasty, where weapons were used to salute comrades returning from the battlefield.
Huo Qubing looked at it for a moment before he realized that the big cat was imitating Jin'an's walking, walking with its head held high.
There were more people in the city, but they became quieter. Most of them were watching with eager eyes. Some women couldn't look away after their eyes fell on Huo Qubing. There were also people who followed the team and looked excited, and they were members of the military.
However, Wei Qing's actual power has now reached its peak.
Competing for favor to the point of turning yourself into a horse is definitely a ceiling level.
"Your Majesty did not agree immediately because he was thinking about whether he could bear the consequences if he failed. This is an issue that your Majesty and uncle must consider."
On the wall behind Xiong San, stood his own cat, blinking its jewel-like cat eyes, looking like a grievance, staring aggrievedly at his lifelong enemy, the war horse Jinan.
"It is true that the champion is a martial arts star. Those who can defeat the Huns in ancient and modern times are all famous generals!"
Liu Che's body leaned forward slightly, his legs under the low mat stretched into strong and strong lines, and he said:
"Have you ever thought about it, the Xiongnu tribes often move around. Although the royal tribe is in Ulaanbaatar and rarely moves, will there be any changes after the impact of Qubing this time?"
The big cat suddenly jumped down from the wall at a very fast speed.
Jin'an speeded up, trotted forward, and quickly approached Weiyang Palace.
It is still necessary for the virtuous and gentle aunt to show up more and make her presence felt.
Wei Qing thought about it for a while and said: "On the way back from the illness, I made a suggestion to attack the Xiongnu. I want your Majesty to make a decision."
He prided himself on being as brave as anyone, but he didn't expect Wei Qing to be the first to reach a height that he had never reached in his life in several years.
In addition, there were Liu Xiang, Liu Xi, and other three or five other clan members. Yao Zhao and others also came to join in the fun and celebrate their return from the expedition.
"Wei Qing, can you tell me? I think you have carefully considered whether this strategy is feasible or not?"
Before the two of them left the palace, a palace servant came to announce that Queen Wei Zifu summoned them and asked them to speak.
"Then why does the cat look so weird?"
"Who is said to be stinky? The champion is a Wuqu star, and the horse is also a Wuqu horse. Otherwise, how can he lead a thousand troops and defeat the Huns?"
Song Ran, Xiao Ying, and Yue Rao were also there.
Only Li Guang, who was among the generals, felt a little uncomfortable.
Wei Qing thought about it and found that it made perfect sense.
If you are not careful, all the troops under your command will be wiped out."
Historically, most believe that Wei Qing was granted the title of Grand Sima in the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC), but some believe that it was after the Battle of Dingxiangbei.
The big cat's eyes immediately lit up, it jumped up into his arms, and moved its head back and forth, all its resentment disappeared.
Huo Qubing didn't say anything yet, but both Liu Che and Wei Qing could understand.
Huo Qubing's eyes flashed: "I will lead an army of 10,000 men and attack the Xiongnu royal court before the main force of the rear army, so as to buy time for the rear army."
The atmosphere on both sides of the road became solemn, and the Forbidden Army stood in large numbers, armed with armor.
As noon approached, the other generals who had been granted the title also retreated one after another.
"And how will our army get out of the border without being discovered by the Huns? Even my big Han non-expedition personnel must be concealed first, otherwise the news will not be kept secret. This is a big problem."
His family has been a famous general since the Qin Dynasty, and his family is considered to be prominent.
Huo Qubing said bluntly: "Your Majesty admires martial arts and is very moved. I will respond within two or three days at most."
"Your Majesty has a clear warning."
"How about you and I try to deduce it?"
Some people whispered: "This is the first time I have seen such a big cat. Is it trying to learn from Champion Hou's horse?"
On the way back for the past few days, Wei Qing had been thinking about the winner and loser of both sides, and talked about it:
When Huo Qubing actually left Weiyang Palace and returned to Huo Mansion, the sky was already dark.
"Your Majesty is the king, my uncle is the commander-in-chief, and I am the general. I should forge ahead with determination and destroy the city and the stronghold."
If we are held back by the troops and horses of the Xiongnu royal court, other troops can come to our aid in one or two days. The success of this battle depends entirely on whether we can quickly break through the enemy's formation and cause as big an impact as possible before the Xiongnu troops and horses can organize themselves."
In the front hall of the mansion, there are more than ten dancing girls brought by Liu Xiang, ready to sing small songs to act as an atmosphere group.
More than ten people, including the servants of the family, were waiting at the door to welcome him.
"Your Majesty said that he has prepared a state banquet tomorrow. All the officials will come. My wife can also attend. My uncle remembers to take my aunt with him." Huo Qubing specially warned.
As it walked, it turned back, trying to tell Huo Qubing that it could be a horse, that it could walk and be used as a horse.
Could it be that my memory is biased? Didn't my uncle get the title of Grand Sima after he was appointed to Xiangbei... Huo Qubing wondered.
Huo Qubing gently pressed his legs against the horse's belly.
The two were not arguing, but discussing.
The procession moved forward, and under the attention of the people along the road, they quickly entered the city from the north gate and walked along Anmen Street towards Weiyang Palace.
"Do you think His Majesty will agree?" Wei Qing asked.
He had just finished attacking the Xiongnu rear, and Yi Zhixie would not move easily. Otherwise, to outsiders, it would look like he was scared away by Huo Qubing.
The rest of the group will follow later.
Wei Qing, like his nephew, felt a little ashamed of this kind of parading on horseback.
"Those tribes that I defeated will definitely move, but my royal court will not move at least this year. I have already visited Ulaanbaatar, and the water and grass there are still luxuriant. And I suggest that the time to send troops is one month later.
of August.
"The standing troops of the Xiongnu royal court range from 50,000 to 80,000, all of which are elite. If they gather all their strength, the number of troops and horses can be doubled at least. With the addition of subordinate tribes, the number will be even greater. Therefore, the Xiongnu royal court can suppress all tribes.
Commanded nearly a hundred other tribes.
People are no longer allowed to enter this area.
Jin'an snorted and started running, feeling very proud and the sound of his hoofbeats was clear and crisp.
But when I saw my nephew parading in the street, I was very interested. I opened a gap in the car curtain and watched carefully.
Our army attacks with about 50,000 fine cavalry. If we lose the surprise, the victory or defeat will be unpredictable.
Then he told Huo Qubing's suggestion.
Towards evening, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing came out of the emperor's study.
At this time, there was Changle Palace and Changding Palace.
The team walked all the way through the long street, and then passed the main entrance of Weiyang Palace, where they saw Liu Che, dressed in imperial robes, standing on the steps of the front hall of Weiyang Palace, welcoming the triumphant generals.
"You can consider dispersing the march."
"You two have something to say to me?" Liu Che looked at Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing was in the crowd and saw Xiong San, who was taller than the man next to him.
At this time, the big cat came to Jin'an, its back arched, and under Jin'an's lowered gaze, it kept one step ahead of Jin'an and walked swaggering ahead.
In the study, the emperor left Huo Qubing and Wei Qing behind, preparing to have lunch with them.
After the withdrawal of the troops, the royal court immediately moved. The Huns were so shameless.
Huo Qubing waved his hands to move to both sides of the road, and backed away as he tried to get closer to the soldiers who were driving the cats out.
In this way, once our army enters five hundred miles from the Xiongnu royal court, it will be discovered by the Xiongnu and it will be impossible to hide it."
"..."
Huo Qubing: "The war situation is unpredictable, and the victory or defeat is often determined by battlefield changes and grasp of the fighter opportunities. Now we are talking, everyone has their own views, and we cannot tell the outcome."
"Meow--"
The entire afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, and the three of them chatted in the study all afternoon.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, those who can resist foreigners have been trusted and loved. Starting from the pre-Qin Dynasty, this is still the case thousands of years later.
While others were busy, Song Ran and Xiao Ying approached Huo Qubing and said, "We have already investigated the yellow carriage messenger Yu Chu..."
It can also be considered as paving the way for the future.
At this time, Wei Qing had gone through Longcheng, Monan, Gaoque surprise attack, Dingxiangbei and other battles, and won all of them. His authority was further improved, and he was granted a city of 8,700 households, controlled the generals, and was in the same position as the prime minister.
Tong, is actually the number one person in the military and a highly respected minister.
He continued: "Changing to Qu Bing to lead the troops may increase the chance of winning by 10%. He is still only in the Soldier Talisman realm and uses magical marching strategies to march. He cannot bring more than ten thousand troops with him.
Other generals also received rewards, and there was a lot of excitement during the period.
Wei Qing nodded and said: "I have thought about the way you said it, but if you lead thousands of troops into battle, it will be too dangerous for you. With thousands of troops confronting each other, your personal force will be destroyed by the country during the confrontation between the two countries.
The role that luck can play when overwhelmed is by no means as great as you think.
When the Xiongnu return this time, they will do their best to save the summer harvest and will not waste time on migration at this time."
When some of the Imperial Guards saw Huo Qubing and other generals passing by, they all slightly raised their spears.
Wei Qing smiled and said: "Your Majesty and I need to think about defeat first, what about you?"
The people who are looking forward to it are diverse and enthusiastic.
Huo Qubing made a gesture to let his uncle Wei Qing speak.
Liu Che has always admired martial arts, but he is a very ambitious emperor. After hearing this, he looked thoughtful:
The Central Plains has been invaded by foreign tribes since ancient times, and plunder has never stopped. During the tribal period, wars with foreign tribes began.
Then the officials retreated, and a group of trusted generals accompanied the emperor to the inner study.
In front of hundreds of officials, Emperor Liu Che issued an edict and conferred the title of Chief General Wei Qing.
The deduction process is a situation of mutual victory and defeat.
Huo Qubing stretched out his hand and waved lightly.
Now Huo Qubing has appeared again.
"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. Whether this plan can be successful or not, the maximum is 50%."
However, the Xiongnu would most likely increase their rear defense, so Wei Qing said that although Huo Qubing's suggestion was very sudden, the chance of winning was still only 50% to 60%, and it was up to the emperor to decide whether to fight or not.
Liu Qing found that an ancient jade in front of him shone with light.
This guy obviously thinks that Jin An is favored mainly because he can be ridden, and he wants to change his status.
"Master!"
The palace also received a reward from the emperor, and was draped in red and colorful. Four palace lanterns given by the emperor were hung at the door, raised high and swaying gently in the wind.
Huo Qubing came behind Wei Qing and entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace alongside the other generals.
In addition, Zhang Cigong, Gongsun Ao and other generals, all of whom were Huo Qubing's uncles, followed behind to watch the excitement.
She was surprised to separate her soul and place it on a big bird she kept.
The bird flew out of Changle Palace and out of Chang'an City in a blink of an eye. It lingered in the air for a while and then landed on a hill on the outskirts of the city.
There is a middle-aged woman sitting on the mountain.
The bird Liu Qing placed his trust in fell down: Master!
Daodezong, also known as the Yinxian Sect, Qin Qingyu, the contemporary Taoist's senior sister, and Liu Qing's mentor came to Chang'an in person.
