Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 215 Taking over the military power, the situation changes immediately 【Tickets】

To the west of Chang'an, more than two hundred miles away from the Xiguan of the Great Han Dynasty, is the majority of the Qiang people.

Wei Na also brought people here before, and discussed with Qi Fumu, the Lord of the Rao Qiang, about sending troops to harass the Han territory.

At this time, a Han army was hiding in a mountain depression forty miles away from the Dazhai of the Raoqiang.

This army was the Forbidden Army led by Yao Zhao and Li Gan. After joining forces, they selected [-] old soldiers and marched in a surprise attack.

In the camp of the Chinese army, Li Gan was wearing a general's armor and was roasting rabbits.

During the march and raid, it was not supposed to roast rabbits over an open fire, but the fear was that smoke would be produced and the position would be exposed.

But the Mohists invented a kind of military equipment, which was specially prepared for marching. They added spell arrays, added firewood, rabbits on the top, and flames on the bottom.

It's just that this kind of stove is expensive, and it's not a must-have item.

After Li Gan came to the army, he brought a stove and it became popular in the barracks for a while, and everyone above the school officers gathered to eat rabbits.

A forbidden army set a trap and personally captured the Rabbit family.

The old rabbit, the little rabbit, and the rabbit's daughter-in-law, there are seven in total.

At this time, the eyes of the rabbits were red, and they were filled with horror.Seeing the old rabbit being sent to the furnace, the little rabbit was horrified by the smell of the meat and turned into cooked rabbit meat. Some kicked their legs and fell straight in the cage, frightened to death. tragedy.

It's a pity that the sorrows and joys of people and rabbits are not the same. The generals peeled the rabbits one by one, roasted them golden, and ate them clean.

The captain who had not eaten enough volunteered to catch the second litter of rabbits.

Yao Zhao sat on the side and watched Li Gan roast the rabbit, and said: "We seem to be too relaxed before the war. Half a year ago, Lord Hou took us to fight the Xiongnu. He always carried food with him and traveled thousands of miles to fight. The Horde, finally retreated in its entirety."

"We are fighting against the Qiang village. We have fought against them these days. Compared with the Xiongnu, their combat power is far behind."

Li Gan said: "If we were to fight the Xiongnu, we would not be so leisurely."

Several generals in the tent nodded one after another: "Lieutenant Yao, can you follow Lord Hou to attack the Xiongnu, and tell us about the process?"

Yao Zhao was refreshed, and immediately bragged about the process of attacking the Huns, and his mouth was full of foam.

A school lieutenant praised him after hearing this: "It is said in the army that Lord Hou has the appearance of a wolf, he was born with the talent of a general, and he is destined to be famous forever. It seems to be true."

There are two interpretations of wolf Gu Zhixiang, one is praise and the other is criticism, and the other is that the wolf looks around when walking, cautious and suspicious, and harbors evil intentions.

Another explanation is to praise and praise, saying that people have the fate of generals.

The so-called wolf gu means that the body does not move, but the head can be turned behind the back when it turns around, almost 180 degrees, just like a male wolf turning its head back, majestic.

The generals used it to describe Huo Qubing, of course it meant praise, even Li Gan nodded in agreement.

Only Yao Zhao looked strange, and said: "Coincidentally, I also told Hou Ye that he has the appearance of Lang Gu. But Hou Ye kicked me, saying that the appearance of Lang Gu may not be the fate of a general, but It’s a bone disease in the neck, it’s recommended to straighten the bone.”

All the generals suddenly fell silent, and then roared with laughter.

"This must be a random word you added. I see that Lord Hou has always been serious and never said such words."

Yao Zhao said arrogantly: "You only know one thing, in fact, I have been in contact with Lord Hou for a long time, and he sometimes jokes."

"Lieutenant Yao, earlier, I personally led the troops out to explore the road, and when I came back, I found you smiling.

And before you said that the Rao and Qiang gathered the surrounding tribes, and there were nearly [-] people who could fight, so you should be careful when using your troops, and you don't agree with rushing. Why did you talk about it again just now, and you took the initiative to propose a surprise attack on the Rao Qiang as soon as possible? " Li Gan asked.

Yao Zhao said with a smile: "General Li has good eyesight. The reason is simple. When you left the camp just now, Lord Hou sent me a message."

Li Gan asked in surprise, "The champion has a military order?"

"Exactly."

Yao Zhao said triumphantly, "Specify it for me."

Li Gan: "What did Lord Hou say?"

"Hou Ye accused me of being unfavorable in marching and being too conservative in fighting. Let me attack boldly and march straight into Yaoqiang."

Yao Zhao continued: "Before I led the troops alone, I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would lose the battle and embarrass the doctor, so I would rather give up the opportunity than rush forward.

But since Huo Hou has come to order, why should I be afraid, I will do my best to fight the enemy bravely! "

After Yao called, he handed out a marching map:

"Look, this is the marching direction marked by Huohou himself. After we break the Raoqiang camp, don't pursue total annihilation, and immediately send troops to the west to stab Lianqiang, Sidi, Raoqiang and other troops.

Lord Hou will also send troops from Xiguan, echoing us from afar. The two groups of soldiers and horses are in the shape of pincers, pointing directly at Dajiqiang on the farther west, threatening Loulan implicitly.

Watch how they react! "

Speaking of marching and fighting, the atmosphere in the tent changed, and all the generals looked serious.

"Great. Master Hou came to Xiguan and took over the military power himself. This time, we will surely have a good time."

Li Gan looked at the map and pointed to a location: "Master Hou said that he would send troops from Xiguan, echoing us in a pincer shape, that is here, to join forces in the Yumen area? So, we have to march quickly, time is tight. "

"That's right, we will attack the Raoqiang first tonight, and then quickly advance westward."

Yao Zhaodao: "Master Hou said let's be bold. Xiqiang is formed by hundreds of tribes, and they all have a wait-and-see attitude. The previous fight was soft and not deterrent enough."

As the order was passed on, the fighting spirit in the battalion surged, ready to go.

……

Near noon.

Huo Qubing was about to leave from Quwei, Li Zhao, the head of the Li family in Longxi, brought people out to see him off in person.

"I have an unfeeling request, and I want to ask Lord Hou to agree." At the gate of the city, Li Zhao said.

He beckoned, and a boy of twelve or thirteen and a half years old came up from behind. His physique was a little thinner than ordinary people, but his eyes were calm, giving the impression that he was much more stable than children of the same age. When he saw Huo Qubing, his eyes became extraordinarily bright , holding a big gift and leaning over, respectfully.

"This is Li Sui. I want him to follow Huo Hou and have the right to be an attendant. How Huo Hou sends him is up to him."

It means that he wants Huo Qubing to take Li Sui with him and train him as a confidant or disciple.

The underlying meaning is that the Li family in Longxi wants to establish a closer relationship with Huo Qubing.

Seeing that Huo Qubing didn't express his opinion, Li Zhao added: "This kid has been following the rules since he was a child, and he doesn't have the bad habits of clan children. My Li family will not make trouble for Huo Hou, let alone push anyone out casually.

The child himself respects Huo Hou the most.He also has some military talents, and it would be his blessing to be by Huo Hou's side. "

Huo Qubing: "Which family brother of your Li family is this?"

Li Zhaodao: "It's my heir, Huo Hou laughed."

Huo Qubing looked at Li Zhao, he is Li Guang's younger brother, he must be over 60, how young is he?Really old and strong.

Li Zhao said again: "This is my ninth son. There are four younger brothers and sisters under him, and the youngest one is just one month old."

Huo Qubing was in awe, and thought to himself that it was not as simple as growing old and growing strong.

Li Zhaodao: "I heard the news from Chang'an that Huohou is preparing for military affairs. If Huohou agrees to bring Li Sui with him, I, Li, will donate a refined iron mine with an annual output of more than [-] shi for military use. How about it?"

Using soldiers to make armor and making weapons requires metal, and donating an iron mine... Li Zhao spent a lot of money in order to raise his son and establish a further friendship with Huo Qubing.

Since the attack on the Zonghengdao Mountain Gate to the east of Fuyu, and captured the masters of Zonghengdao's Mohists who prepared ordnance, Huo Qubing is preparing to set up his own military preparation camp for the Chang'an Guards.

And ironware, metal, is just needed to equip and smelt various utensils.

"Please Huo Hou accept me, I will work harder and live up to Master Hou's cultivation." Li Sui bent down and knelt down, his face full of sincerity and expectation.

Huo Qubing smiled: "It's not about the iron mine, I'm not used to taking people by my side, and I don't plan to teach my disciples, it takes too much time.

If he joins my army, he will be sent to the barracks, and he can be a soldier in the barracks, but if he wants to go to the battlefield, he must be over 16 years old. "

Li Zhao was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, just arrange it."

The half-child was even more joyful, knelt down and kowtowed.

Huo Qubing waved his hand: "It's about to celebrate the New Year's Eve, just send it to the Chang'an Guards camp after the year."

Li Zhao bowed deeply, considering Huo Qubing's prestige in the army, his son followed him by his side, after a long time, there must be great gains.

Huo Qubing got on his horse, before he left, he saw that Li Sui was still kneeling on the ground with his forehead touching the ground, he pondered for a while and said, "Your Li family might as well donate part of the land property, and even other properties under your jurisdiction, the more the better. "

After saying that, Bai Nanyu, Cao Ni, and Xiao Qisheng surrounded him, and they drove their horses away, and disappeared into the void in a blink of an eye.

During this march, Huo Qubing launched the newly advanced two strategies of "walking first" and "crossing the sea from the sky". Blessings were integrated into the marching method, not only faster, but also more stealthy.

What Huo Qubing said when he left obviously had deep meaning, Li Zhao stood at the city gate, showing a thoughtful expression.

Champion Hou seemed to be reminding him, what was his intention?
Li Zhao pondered all the way and returned to Quwei city.

Li Yanqing who 'fake death' knew that Huo Qubing was gone, and came back to life with a hundred times of energy. Sitting in the hall, holding a cane, she didn't have the slightest fainting look before.

"Uncle Clan is awake." Li Zhao greeted him when he came back.

Li Yanqing asked back: "Huo Qubing is gone?"

Li Zhao nodded and reminded Li Yanqing: "Huo Hou is not only your majesty's favorite general, but also invincible on the battlefield. It has been less than a year since he attacked the Huns in the spring of this year, but he has defeated the enemy in consecutive battles. He even expanded hundreds of miles a month ago. , Open the border of my Han Dynasty.

Such meritorious deeds will surely be passed on to future generations.Uncle should pay attention to his words and deeds in the future, don't make up the champion Hou casually. "

Li Yanqing snorted coldly: "It's not your turn to teach me what I do.

Don't think that his subordinates saved me, I have to be grateful to Dade, he disrespected his teacher first, I and him are equal at most, and we will not offend each other afterwards. "

"Uncle, you can't offend Huohou, Huohou just doesn't have the same knowledge as uncle." It was Li Sui beside Li Zhao who interrupted suddenly.

"I am talking to your father, how can I allow you to speak freely."

Li Yanqing was furious and raised his crutches.

His identity is not enough to be angry with his grandchildren, and he looked at Li Zhao and changed the subject: "Why are you frowning when you come back?"

Li Zhao: "I can't figure out what Huo Hou said when he left." He repeated what Huo Qubing said when he left.

Li Yanqing also showed surprise, and said with concentration: "From what he said, it seems that he is thinking about me, Mrs. Li, and that's why he said this?"

Li Zhao suddenly had an idea: "Huo Hou knows His Majesty's thoughts best, his words are probably reminding me that His Majesty has plans for our clan?"

In fact, it is Zhang Tang who really wants to take the clan to the knife.

Zhang Tang is about to take over as Doctor Yushi.

After he came to power, his method of slaughtering rich and wealthy gentry was unique, and his cruelty was rarely seen in history.

Big dogs all over the country were cut off one after another as leeks, and some even cut off the roots, and divided the land equally, and used it for the army and the state treasury.

The emperor agreed to support from behind, and Zhang Tang brandished a big knife in front.

If some clans don't understand the situation and still want to dominate the local area, if they don't prepare early, they will finish it properly.

Huo Qubing made a few points, whether he can understand and what to do to avoid Zhang Tang's butcher's knife depends on his understanding.

The time came that night.

Huo Qubing returned to the border town of Xiguan and took over the command of the Han army.

Zhang Jun was deprived of the command position, he was not angry but happy, and willingly became the deputy.

As for the Raoqiang Dazhai, in the early hours of the night, Yao Zhao and Li Gan's troops took the lead in making a surprise attack. The sound of shouting and killing was loud, and the drums were beating, firing the first shot of the Xiguan raid.

In the evening of the same day, in the border town of Xiguan, the Han army marched in two directions like two spears, piercing the northwest all the way, with the purpose of further restraining the Xiongnu soldiers and horses.

The other line attacked Yumen in a straight line, and the front of the soldiers pointed to Loulan, the vassal state of the two Huns in the Western Regions of Pulei.

The situation in Xiguan changed suddenly overnight.

Also on the same night, Wei Na escaped from Xiguan and returned to the grassland.
