Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 194 Winning and Returning to the Dynasty, a Strong Man【Tickets】

As the distance approaches, it can be seen that the queue is stretching and the military appearance is clean, about 2000 people.

From a distance, the banner of the Han army is facing the wind, and it has the spirit of a general marching north, but now returning south, the mountains and rivers are moving, and the people are coming to court.

The light cavalry for the expedition is equipped with one man and three horses as standard, so the queue that enters the target looks larger than the actual number and is more powerful.

Not only all the civil and military soldiers who came to greet them watched from a distance, but the Changan Guards standing on duty on the city wall were also full of energy when they saw their top leaders come back from the battle, and they stood up very straight.

Under everyone's gaze, the team in the distance began to change.

The [-] troops divided like a tide, and returned to the guard barracks on the outskirts of the city.

Two thousand soldiers and horses galloped away, and each horse position seemed to correspond to each other, exactly.

The orderliness, good obedience and ornamental quality brought by thousands of troops are inexplicably moving.

The ground trembled slightly, and the sound of horseshoes was loud.

In the end, only a hundred or so relatives remained, and they followed Huo Qubing to the city gate.

The bright silver armor on his body is shining in the scorching sun, and the Lang Zhongling's official robes inside the armor are spotless.

When they got close, all the people behind them stopped their horses together, and there was no sound.

The people who came out to greet them burst into astonishing cheers to express their support and welcome for the returning Han army.

Huo Qubing got off his horse, and all the waiting officials came up to meet him.

He first came to Liu Qing's car, lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head in, looking at his beautiful daughter-in-law: "I'm coming back from the expedition, and I have to go to the palace to meet the driver first. You go with me, or go back first." House?"

Liu Qingyan said: "I will go with you."

Huo Qubing pulled back and turned around, only then did Dong Xu, the servant, lean forward and smiled, "Your Majesty asked me to welcome him, and even gave Huo Hou an imperial cloak to drive away the cold."

The emperor's cloak is the big cloak worn by the emperor when he went out in winter.

This is a kind of expression of grace to the extreme, which means that the imperial cloak is worn with the emperor.

"Your Majesty and other civil and military personnel, as well as envoys from the Western Regions, are waiting for Huo Hou to return to the court at Weiyang Palace." Dong Xu said again.

Huo Qubing agreed, and turned his attention to Dong Zhongshu and the others: "Please come to welcome me, Master."

Behind Dong Zhongshu stood Bai Yu and Sima Qian.

The two were also looking at the army returning from the expedition, with different expressions.

Huo Qubing glanced at the two of them, Bai Yu showed a friendly smile, Sima Qian nodded slightly, expressionless.

Dong Zhongshu said: "It's a great honor for me to be able to welcome Huo Hou back to the court after victory on behalf of the Han people and all the ministers!

I want to congratulate Huohou, the next day you can make new contributions to my big man and leave a name through the ages! "After saying that, he was short and bowed to each other.

Huo Qubing returned the salute while thinking: This old master came here specially to greet him, so it is impossible to just say these few words... Is he expressing his position on the further integration of civil and military, or is there some other purpose?
At this time Huo Qubing saw Taichang Zhou Ping walking quickly from not far away, thinking that every time he came to greet him, he would have to parade through the streets to show the public.

Huo Qubing resolutely got into the princess's car, pretending he didn't see Zhou Ping, so he ordered to drive.

The left and right pro-armies immediately clustered on both sides of the car, separated the guard of honor including Taichang Zhouping, and walked away.

When Zhou Ping was dumbfounded, Dong Zhongshu laughed and said, "It's fine if Huo Hou doesn't want to show it to the public. Let's keep it simple when you enter the city. Your Majesty will never take more responsibility."

Zhou Ping said depressedly: "This is against the rules and etiquette."

But he couldn't do anything about it. The emperor would just turn a deaf ear to this kind of thing, and it was useless.

After Huo Qubing got into his own car, he poked his head out of the car again as if thinking of something, and asked Dao Zun who had come all the way back if he wanted to board the car with him.

And Bai Nanyu, who was unable to reveal her identity when she came back from her peers, had already gone back to the city alone.

Dao Zun was riding on the horse and accompanying the driver, when he saw Huo Qubing sticking his head out, he said angrily: "If I really go up, you must secretly scold me for being stupid and not knowing the timing."

Liu Qing poked out half of her pretty face from beside Huo Qubing, and said with a light smile, "Master, he won't."

Dao Zun spat lightly: "Then I won't go either. I'll go back to the mansion first, and let the cook in your mansion make more food, which is better than anything else." After saying that, he rode to Huo's mansion first went.

In the chariot, as soon as Huo Qubing came up, Liu Qing moved to the side, obviously wanting to sit next to him.

The last time Huo Qubing came back was not long ago, but now that the two of them have known each other well, Her Royal Highness is much bolder than last time.

"Husband."

Liu Qing called softly.

She was wearing a tunic with rose red tight sleeves, a light rose brocade neckline overlapping, and a floor-length white skirt of the same color underneath, tied with gold silk at the waist, and a blue vanilla purse.

The compartment is filled with bursts of fragrance.

On her plain white wrist, there is a delicate emerald green jade bracelet, which jingles.Her hair was simply combed into a green bun, with a pair of hairpins inserted obliquely, her pretty face was like jade, she looked like a suet beauty, charming and gorgeous.

The two chatted for a while, and the chariot arrived at Weiyang Palace.

Huo Qubing got off the car and went to the study to meet the emperor.

Liu Qing had a special status, so he didn't avoid suspicion, so he came to the study with him.

In the study room, there are many civil and military officials, as well as the envoy Roshna from the Western Regions, who are also waiting for Huo Qubing to return.

"I have met Your Majesty, and I am honored to have His Majesty's trust. I have commanded troops to defeat the enemy, captured Fuyu and Wuhuan chieftains, and held them in Beiguan. According to my judgment, the leaders of these tribes should come to Chang'an within a month. Honor your ministers and pay tribute." Huo Qubing reported.

The emperor smiled, stretched out his hand and flicked:
"Exemption. The ministers have been discussing these days, and I have also read the report sent by the border, and I am very happy."

Huo Qubing and Liu Qing sat down side by side, and then looked at the seats in the study.

Civil and military officials, Gongsun Hong, Li Cai, Dong Zhongshu who came in front and rear of Huo Qubing, and generals such as Cheng Bushi all sat on one side.

The seat opposite was reserved for the envoy from the Western Regions Roshna and her entourage who came from afar.

This time, she was accompanied by Qiuci and the envoy of the neighboring Gumo Kingdom, a tall, thin middle-aged man with a serious face.

The envoy of Kucha has a normal body shape, a white face and no beard, wearing a blue robe with a strong Kucha style.

A group of people, headed by Roshna, sat down from top to bottom.

They are also looking at the champion Hou who has returned from the battle.

Roshna has a special status in the Western Regions, and the emperor also respected its customs.

Therefore, in this study, Roshna still wore tulle.

But it can still be seen that she is delicate and beautiful, her skin tone is delicate and moist, her eyelashes are thick and dense, and she is as curled up as a small fan.

Her eyes are lively and energetic, and her pupils are deep dark brown.

Huo Qubing's gaze flicked over several people, and Bo Qimu, who was behind Roshna, bowed and smiled at him.

On Hanchen's side, there is only Zhang Qian, who sits next to Roshna and the others and is responsible for the translation work.

The emperor personally handed an imperial decree to Huo Qubing who was seated next to him:

"This is my newly drafted will to seal your fiefdom and population registration.

I'll talk about other things later. Several envoys from the Western Regions have asked about your situation many times recently, and they are quite concerned about your expedition. How about the details? You can talk to the envoys from the Western Regions. "

The emperor's intention was to let Huo Qubing demonstrate the invincible power of the Han army, help the people of the Western Regions to strengthen their courage, let them attach themselves to the big man, and confront the Huns.

The Gumo envoy on the opposite side, a thin and serious middle-aged man, first gave Huo Qubing a chest salute from the Western Regions, and then spoke a series of Serbian languages ​​in the Western Regions.

After hearing this, Zhang Qian smiled and translated:

"He heard that Huohou once used ten thousand riders to defeat the army of the Huns, and he proposed to see the army under Huohou's command that defeated the Huns. Is it possible?"

I want to see it for myself, obviously because I don't dare to believe in Wan Qi Po Xiongnu's Chinese army, and I plan to see it before making a judgment.

Huo Qubing said calmly: "Originally, there was also a process of arranging for the envoys to observe the might of our Han army. It's not difficult."

Interpreted by Zhang Qian.

Gumo and the envoy of Qiuci looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"What does Huo Hou think of the current situation in our Western Regions?" Roshna asked.

Her voice is clear and peaceful, and has a different kind of appeal.

Huo Qubing pondered for a while, and said: "The countries in the Western Regions are scattered, without a strong and unified political system and military equipment, and lack the power to protect themselves, so the Huns regard the Western Regions as vassals, and they have been demanding for years, but the Western Regions are unable to resist.

There are only two ways out for the Western Regions. One is to hope that you can produce a person with prestige and qualifications enough to convince the public, who can unify the Western Regions and reach the Huns in the north.Otherwise, the Western Regions will choose the strong and rely on it, and seek other ways out. "

This is true of the Western Regions.

However, Huo Qubing's words were obviously not very pleasant. He described the Western Regions as a sheep that could be eaten by mermaids, and was bullied by the Huns without even the ability to resist.

The envoys of Kucha and Gumo both changed their expressions.

Only Roshna looked calm and remained silent.

The rather serious envoy of Gumo couldn't help but say another sentence, his voice was obviously higher than before, taking the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhang Qian translated: "He asked Huo Hou, when you say you choose the strong and attach yourself, does this 'strong' refer to the big man?"

Huo Qubing said calmly: "That's right, apart from me, many nomadic tribes around may be able to dominate the grassland for a while, but at most it will only be tens or hundreds of years.

Only my Shenzhou, Xia and Shang, since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, thousands of years of conquests, the princes rose together, but they were able to complete the unification in Qin and Han, which shows the strength of our Han.

The Xiongnu soldiers and horses roamed hundreds of thousands of horses, but in recent years they have been defeated by our big Han soldiers.Its turn from prosperity to decline is predictable.

My big man is also the only race among hundreds of races inside and outside China that can establish a complete inheritance of culture after a thousand years of war.

It can be seen from this that the national cohesion of our great Han is not comparable to that of any foreign race, so our great Han is strong, not a great power, but an independent power.

Among the surrounding countries, if my big man refuses to allow it, which one would dare to claim to be strong? "

What Huo Qubing said made all the civil and military officials in the study stand up subconsciously.

The envoy Gumo was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and asked another question.

Zhang Qian translated again: "He asked what is cultural inheritance?"

Huo Qubing sneered: "Your countries in the Western Regions may have been powerful for a while, but if you push forward a hundred years, do they have a unified language, do they have a unified currency system, do they have a unified system, and there is a powerful ruler who dominates the world. Soldiers?
There is a practice of contending among a hundred schools of thought, is there a school of thought? "

This time the emperor also stood up secretly, the so-called hero, he obviously was.

well said!
All the ministers couldn't help feeling fluctuating, because what Huo Qubing said contained a strong sense of national pride, listening to what he said made blood flow.

The Han is not a great power, but an independent power, ranking first among a hundred tribes, on top of mountains and rivers, what arrogance and pride this is!
Under the low mat, Liu Qing quietly reached out to grab Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing said again: "You Western Regions are facing a big crisis right now, but you don't know it."

Roshna asked in Chinese: "Please enlighten the champion, what is the crisis in our Western Regions?"

"You came all the way to the east, but there was no obstacle along the way. Not only did Loulan and other countries close to the Huns let you pass by, but the Western Huns didn't stop them either?"

Huo Qubing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think this is normal?"

At this time, everyone was attracted by his topic, including the great Han Wenwu, and they also turned their attention to him and listened intently.

"What's wrong with that?"

Roshna and the others were puzzled: "I'm waiting here, and the general sent elite guards. Loulan and the Western Huns didn't want to conflict with the Han at this time, so they didn't obstruct it, didn't they?"
