Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 319 Fame passed down through the ages, the shepherd [seeking tickets]

Embroidered clothing hall.

Huo Qubing, Bai Nanyu, and Ru Bohu all looked at the handwriting on the Zongheng policy slip.

"The other party added 'Han' as a prefix, which means that he is not my big man."

"It's not Han, and it's related to Zi, and I don't know that he was killed in the imperial tomb last night. If you meet these conditions, you can first rule out that the other party is the immortal master who is banned in the imperial tomb."

"The handwriting uses 'we' to indicate identity, which shows that it is not a person."

The three expressed their opinions and quickly analyzed the valuable information revealed in this line of handwriting.

"It may be the Xiongnu, and the lesser half may be the poison."

Huo Qubing's eyes sparkled: "Send a message to test the other party's background."

Bai Nanyu was born in Zonghengdao, and was one of the nine masters, and also mastered the method of using bamboo slips to communicate.

She formed a mudra with one hand, and a wave of divine thoughts emanated from between her brows: "What did you say in response?"

"Ignore their inquiries and directly ask how prepared they are?" Huo Qubing said.

The hidden technique of asking this question is suitable for any situation, regardless of being exposed, and it can be reversed to obtain more information.

Bai Nanyu acted in accordance with the law, attached her fingertips with spiritual thoughts, and wrote on the bamboo slips as a brand.

The small bronze tripod and the jade knife had been sent back to the brief book by Huo Qubing. When Bai Nanyu spread the news, the people on the other side read it and quickly responded: "In the early spring of next year, if other conditions are ripe, we can send a message to the Han Dynasty. Use troops.

As discussed last time, how is the progress of joining forces with poisoners to conspire against a man? "

In these few words, the opponent is the Xiongnu.

Zizi is obviously connecting Shendu and the Xiongnu, and wants to deal with the big man together, echoing from the north and the south.

The Xiongnu have also realized that it is not easy to deal with the Han alone, and want to borrow the hands of their sons and join forces with poison.

With a similar strategy, when the Huns were powerful back then, Emperor Liu Che also considered joining forces with the Great Yuezhi to attack the Huns together.

However, the Dayue Clan did not agree, and moved to avoid the front of the Huns, so the alliance failed.

Now that the situation has changed, it is the Xiongnu's turn to join forces with others, so that they can be sure of attacking Han.

The Xiongnu wanted to join forces with Shendu and use Zi as a middleman to form cooperation more quickly.

Neither the Xiongnu nor Shendu knew that Zi was dead, so they could only contact the great man Lang Zhongling.

Huo Qubing smiled, and wondered whether this matter was going to trick the Xiongnu and Shendu, or cheat Shendu and the Huns, or both?
He and Ru Bohu looked at each other, and both could see the smile in each other's eyes.

Ru Bohu said sadly: "We don't need to respond too much. The Xiongnu's mentality is more urgent now. The more anxious the more likely to make mistakes, let him let him drill deeper and deeper, and finally give him a hard time!"

He said again: "Winter is coming soon, will Huo Hou use troops against the Huns next year?"

"Depending on the situation, the opportunity is right, and there is no need to wait until next year."

Huo Qubing said indifferently: "It depends on our own preparations. During this period of time, we have used troops one after another. Both the west and north lines have been captured and surrendered by us. We have to keep up with other things in the rear before we can fight again."

After several exchanges afterwards, Huo Qubing's words were less concise, and he analyzed and responded according to the messages sent by the Huns.

……

Huns.

The great shaman Boguna and Yizhi sat obliquely in the king's tent, with a roll of animal skins spread out in front of them.

Occasionally, news came from the other side and manifested on the volume.

Not long after Puguna became the great shaman, he sent a message to the other side, and the method of communicating across the air was a bit amazing.

The other party seems to be able to lock any utensil they use to write and send messages anytime, anywhere, effortlessly.But they have to use the method told by the other party to conclude a fixed seal and make full preparations in advance before they can contact the other party.

This method of communication alone has made Puguna feel an inexplicable awe of the existence of the other side.

Yi Zhi said obliquely: "Tell him that all the tribes in my grassland have the intention to attack the Han with all their strength. Ask him if he can help us investigate the deployment of the Han army at the Northern Pass of the Great Han Dynasty, and even the deployment of the Han army along the Western Regions, the real and false distribution."

Puguna was shocked: "Beiguan, and even the distribution of the Han army in the Western Regions, must be the core secret of the great Han, and apart from the emperor, maybe only a few generals in the military know.

How can this person master it? "

Yi Zhi said obliquely: "You don't know, when this person contacted us for the first time, the method he used to win our trust was to tell the true and false distribution of the Yuyang garrison of Beiguan in ancient times.

It's just that the previous great shaman didn't trust him all the time, so he didn't dare to send troops based on it.It was later discovered that the distribution of defenders given by him was not false. "

"In the following years, we have secretly contacted this person many times, and the information he provided has few mistakes and omissions, which is worthy of trust.

If he can provide the distribution of the defenders in Hanguan, it can save us a lot of consumption. "

Puguna thought that this was the case, so he passed the news according to Yi Zhixie's words.

"Yes." The other side's response was as precious as gold.

Yi Zhi asked obliquely: "Ask again, how long will it take to find out the border distribution of the big man?"

After a long time this time, there was no response from the other side.

Yi Zhixie didn't think it was offensive: "This person has always been mysterious, sometimes disappearing without a trace for several months. It's normal not to respond, let's wait for news."

Changan.

Huo Qubing didn't continue talking to Yi Zhixie, and came to another room of the main hall of embroidered clothes, waiting for Liu Qing.

It was near noon when Liu Qing came to Embroidery to deal with some matters.

Seeing Huo Qubing coming, she made some arrangements, and the two left Xiuyi together.

Huo Qubing proposed to take a walk in the city, Liu Qing readily agreed.

The husband and wife changed into casual clothes and came to the street accompanied by a few escorts who dispersed.

Bai Nanyu complied with Huo Qubing's order, and cooperated with Ru Bohu's embroidered clothes to start clearing away the dormant Zonghengdao remnants.

On the street, people come and go, lively and noisy.

Chang'an's commercial operations are mainly distributed in the "nine cities", located in the east and west of the capital.

Among them, the bazaar in the west is the most prosperous, the location is close to the Zhongwei Bridge, the transportation is convenient, and there are many merchants.

There are also three cities in the east, but most of the people who live there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The houses occupy large and luxurious land, and the prices are much higher than other places.

Huo Qubing and Liu Qing strolled in the most prosperous West Market.

There are sometimes all kinds of supplies for clothing, food, housing, and transportation here.

There are not a few special products such as pearls and feathers passed down from the Western Regions.

After the Western Regions returned to the Han Dynasty, the emperor made a decree to support the trade between the two places.

The first to move and the one with the keenest sense of smell is the merchant.

In the early Han Dynasty, the status of merchants was very low, and they were not allowed to wear fancy clothes when going in and out. By the time of Emperor Wu, the situation had improved.

Merchants shipped high-grade silk fabrics, pottery, and a small amount of bronze products to the Western Regions.

The Western Regions transport fur, exquisite lacquerware, metal products and other dazzling things to Dahan to earn the difference.

Chang'an is the earliest and most comprehensive microcosm of the changes of this era.

Huo Qubing was walking side by side with His Highness the Princess, when he suddenly heard a cry with a strange accent: "Naizi, Naizi, fresh Naizi, delicious and juicy..."

But it was a beautiful Hu Niang from the Western Regions, with natto fruits in front of her.

She is obviously a new learner of Chinese, with a weird tone, and sells naizi on the street, which are delicious and juicy...

According to historical records, in Chang'an during this period, Hu merchants from the Western Regions continued to pour in, admiring Han culture, operating various businesses, and some settled down in Dahan.

"Where are we going?"

"There is a food stall opened by people from the Western Regions in Chang'an, let's try it."

The place where Huo Qubing brought Liu Qing here was a shop run by a merchant Hu on the street.The main focus is to add chili, which is a specialty of the Western Regions, to the food and sell it to the Han people.

Liu Qing was pregnant with a child, and after being exposed to chili peppers, she actually liked it quite well.

The two came to this newly opened food stall by people from the Western Regions, sat down by the window on the second floor of the shop, and waited for the food to be served.

When Huo Qubing and Liu Qing came over, the second floor of the store was sealed off, only the husband and wife were seated, and the upper and lower entrances were guarded by forbidden soldiers in casual clothes.

After a while, a dish cooked in a pottery urn was served, with many spicy peppers spread on it.

The meat was fish that Huo Qubing asked to bring from his house in advance. It was fresh and tender, and it was served with chili peppers.

Huo Qubing thought this was the earliest boiled fish.

Liu Qing picked up a piece of fish and put it on the plate in front of him first, then tasted it himself, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

Looking down from the position facing the street, people are coming and going on the street.

Huo Guang was wandering on the street with several young people.

Among them were Dong Zhongshu's disciples Bai Yu and Sima Qian, and the young man on the other side was Jin Xu, the younger brother of Concubine Jin in the palace, who was now on duty under the command of the Imperial Army.

In addition, there are several young people of the same age, who are also the heirs of the rich and powerful families in Chang'an.

Huo Guang walked side by side with a young man, sometimes whispering, and followed behind the team.

Huo Qubing looked at the young people beside Huo Guang from the window, thinking that the little brother is really good at making friends.

At this time, Sima Qian and Bai Yu felt being watched one after another, turned their heads to look at the second-floor attic, their expressions changed slightly, they obediently held the big gift downstairs, and bowed to see them.

Including Jin Xu, a few young people who were still full of style just now saw Huo Qubing at the window on the second floor facing the street, and immediately restrained their momentum, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Huo Qubing waved his hands, and Jin Xu and the others slipped away as if they had been pardoned.

Huo Guang, on the other hand, was full of joy, and brought the young man beside him to the second floor of the store: "Zimeng has met my brother, sister-in-law."

Liu Qing's red lips were stained with some spicy oil, his lips were slightly pursed, and he said with a light smile, "You don't need to be too polite."

Huo Guang introduced the young people around him who were about the same age as Huo Qubing: "Brother, this is a good friend I made in Chang'an, and he is also studying in Taixue. He is an unnamed disciple of the master."

Huo Qubing actually stood up and returned the gift with peer etiquette.

Liu Qing was slightly surprised, and his eyes fell on the young man, looking carefully at him.

You must know that the second-generation ancestors downstairs just now have extraordinary backgrounds, but Huo Qubing didn't even bother to say hello to them.

With his power to dominate the government and the public, and his power to shake the world, even with Dong Zhongshu, Li Cai and others, they are on the same level as friends, and it is rare for him to be so polite to others.

Liu Qingfu sang the song and got up to return the salute.

The young man was flattered: "Don't dare to be a gift from Lord Marquis, Su Wu has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Huo Qubing smiled and said: "We have known each other since we were young, but you are young and mature, I am afraid that you don't like my temperament, and the friendship has always been indifferent. I always feel sorry for this."

Huo Guang also blinked his eyes, showing surprise, he had never seen Huo Qubing be so polite to others.

The gentleman in front of him is the son of Su Jian, the general under Wei Qing's command, the famous Su Wu who goes down in history.

That is, I have been herding sheep in the Xiongnu for nearly [-] years, and I have not changed my ambition, and I will never surrender.

In history, Su Wu, when he was about 40 years old, was ordered to be an envoy to the Huns, that is, more than 20 years later, he was detained by the Huns and refused to return, and he did not return to the Han until he was close to [-].

His loyalty is uncompromising, he was willing to herd sheep in the Xiongnu, and ignored the Huns' persuasion to surrender. He was regarded as a model by later generations and spread widely.

Su Wu and the Xiongnu are a sad story that has been passed down through the ages. They herded sheep and almost died of old age in a foreign land.

Huo Qubing also admires this kind of national integrity, so he treats Su Wu differently from others.

Because of Su Jian's relationship, he and Su Wu had known each other since childhood, and they were still the same age.

But Su Wu is resolute and stubborn, and he is proud.Huo Qubing's arrogance and domineering reputation moved the world, and he even hid far away, and never had any contact with him.

Huo Qubing looked at it carefully.

Su Wu in front of him had only the figure of an ordinary person, and he looked very anxious, looking like 38.There are forehead lines on the forehead, a square face, thick lips, a straight nose bridge, and a tendency to grow downward at the corners of the mouth, a face of bitterness and hatred.

Huo Qubing saw Zhile, thinking that this brother's life is hard, fortunately I came. Twenty years later, at least he will not be allowed to go to the Huns to suffer for 20 years, and he will not be able to return home.

However, if he wiped out the Huns and refused to let Su Wu go on an envoy, it would be tantamount to depriving him of the opportunity to leave his name in history.

If he knew the secret, he didn't know whether he would be thankful or blame himself.

Su Wu inherited his family's martial arts practice, and also entered the Imperial Academy to study Confucianism. Although he is not top-notch, he has both civil and military skills, and he acts prudently with the style of a general.

Huo Qubing asked: "Su Wu, you have generations of generals in your family, do you have any consideration for what you want to do in the future?"

"I expect to select Liu Zhonglang and ten captains in the imperial army. If you want to come, I will give you the post of captain, how about it?"
