Chapter 407 Winning Streak 【Tickets】

In Chang'an in late July, it was rainy for days.

In the morning, Zhao Ponu, Fu Luzhi, Chen Qing, Zhao Anji and other generals walked into the Palace of the Forbidden Army under the guidance of the pro-army.

"Lang Zhong Ling!"

Bai Nanyu was arranged to go out to do other things. Sitting in the inner wing of the hall was Wang Yan, who was immersed in writing. The neat Han Li fell on the paper like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Huo Qubing's tall and straight figure stood by the window, reaching out to catch the raindrops outside the window.

"You guys make preparations and lead the troops to the northwest battlefield tomorrow.

In the war with Parthia, our defense line is much longer than that of the opponent. Kangju on the northern line and the entire line west of the Western Regions may become the target of the opponent's attack.

The southern army was transferred out, eager to make meritorious service.

I'm worried that my uncle doesn't have enough soldiers and horses.You go and listen to your uncle's arrangement. "

Several people took the order in unison and agreed abruptly.

Huo Qubing took out several things from the Shenfu one after another, and pushed them to several people.

Zhao Puonu and others took a look, but they were swords.

The body of the saber is slender, almost vertical, with only a slight curvature, slightly longer than ordinary sabers, and it is the standard saber of the Han army.

The surface of the blade is like frost, with dark lines layered like waves after repeated forging, giving people a sense of exquisite workmanship and uncanny workmanship.

Flick the blade lightly, and there will be bursts of saber sound, which will last for a long time.

"This is the latest forged Han knife. The quantity is not large. Each of you only has [-] pieces under your command. Go to the military mansion to find ink workers to get them. The distribution will be completed today.

The handfuls you took were hammered by the master craftsmen of the Mohist school and can be used by yourself. "

"Thank you, Sima."

Among them, Chen Qing also got an extra brocade box, which contained a pair of concentric jade plaques.

"There are some other things, Ping Xian sent someone to your house, it's a congratulatory gift for you."

Huo Qubing was referring to Princess Jingjue who was brought home by Chen Qing, and Zhao Ponu and others knew about it.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis and Your Royal Highness, for your generous gift."

Chen Qing performed the ceremony, and then left with the others.

Walking outside the hall, Chen Qing clattered and opened the brocade box.

A pair of transparent and flawless emerald jade is placed in the box, and the ring-shaped jade pendant seems to seal a pool of green spring water, which is very valuable at first glance.

"You bastard, you snatched a woman home and got a reward from Lord Hou. It's unreasonable. This pair of jade looks like it can be a family heirloom."

"You can also snatch women home, Lord Hou will definitely not treat one more favorably than another."

"I can't, my wife and family are like tigers, biting people..."

Several people joked with each other and walked quickly.

After they left the Palace of the Forbidden Army, Wang Yan said: "Your Majesty.

According to the news from the Shaofu, there is a batch of military equipment that will take a few days to arrive. "

Every time an army marches and fights, dispatching soldiers and horses, there must be food and grass first.

As for Shao Fu, Da Xing Ling, and Da Si Nong, the three are responsible for various expenses, Da Han's finances, and the logistics manager. Some important materials need to be jointly issued by the three.

Among them, the Shaofu has always been held by members of the clan.

"Why does the Shaofu suppress the armament?"

"It's not that I won't send it."

Wang Yan understood the inside story, and explained: "They recommended those generals who had just gone to the battlefield to overwhelm our armaments and release them a few days later, because they were afraid that Lord Hou would dispatch troops and have secret arrangements.

Suppress the armament, and our men will not be able to march. "

Huo Qubing said dumbly: "Are you afraid that I will take their credit?"

Wang Yandao: "Nowadays no one is afraid of the military power of the Marquis. If the Marquis sends troops, what will happen to them?

The clan was afraid that as soon as the people they sent passed by, Lord Hou would attack with thunder and defeat Parthia in a single battle.His Majesty has great trust in Lord Hou again, and their plan ended in vain. "

"Uncle has won consecutive victories against Parthia on the battlefield, but the clan thinks that anyone can win against Parthia?"

Huo Qubing thought to himself that the Parthian Iron Armored Army in this period was one of the most important reasons for the rejuvenation of Parthia, and it had the power to sweep across the countries.

Before they encountered the Han army, they were invincible vertically and horizontally, and the next battle will be a meeting of the two strong ones.

"How many poor armaments are there?"

"Earlier, Habayashi and Huben moved south, and the inventory of our imperial army has been emptied.

When the Xiongnu came back from the war, the armor was put into storage for repairs.There are more than [-] pieces of infantry armor and light cavalry armor in total, which is quite a number. "Wang Yan said.

Every time you come back from a battle, the armor will be damaged to a certain extent. For example, the line connecting the armor leaves is cut off, and it must be repaired in time before it can be used again.

It is not uncommon for the Shaofu to suppress the armored equipment of the forbidden army.

Seeing that Huo Qubing had nothing to say, Wang Yan shut up.

The next day, Zhao Puonu, Fu Luzhi, Zhao Anji, Chen Qing and others led the troops out of the camp, and soon news was sent to the clan.

"The soldiers and horses of the imperial army going to the northwest battlefield, some of them only wore close-fitting inner armor. The outer armor was suppressed by the Shaofu, but Huo Qubing still ordered the imperial army to send troops to the northwest to join the battle? He really wanted to rush to attack, so eager."

"Huo Qubing is insane, and the army goes to the battlefield without armor, how much damage should it have?
How did he explain to His Majesty after the war? "

"Will there be a problem if the Shaofu withholds the armaments and does not distribute them?"

"What's the problem? The army on the front line is fighting, and the imperial army is resting. It's not normal for all kinds of supplies to be in the back. It's just a few days later. Huo Qubing himself can't wait, so he insists on sending troops at this time. What does it have to do with the Shaofu?"

When the clan heard the news, they gathered to discuss.

"And don't rush to make judgments, it's hard to see what Huo Qubing is going to do in advance, don't let him fool you, he may have other arrangements.

Let's hold on and see. "

----

On the northwest battlefield, both the enemy and the enemy are arranging troops and horses, and adjusting light and dark.

"General, Parthia sent a letter to the former army."

When Yao Zhao opened the tent and walked into the commander's tent, Wei Qing was eating lunch, which is common air-dried meat soaked in hot water during the march.

He eats and chews very carefully, slowly and unhurriedly.

"What did Parthia say?"

After swallowing the meat in his mouth, Wei Qing asked calmly.

"It's still the same, saying that our Han people robbed the territory of the Da Yue Clan. They were invited by the five nobles of the Da Yue Clan to help the Da Yue Clan recover the land occupied by our Han people.

If our army retreats, it will avoid the humiliation of defeat... and a human head will be sent. " Yao Zhao said.

Before the war, both sides said that they were on the side of justice, and that their teachers were well-known, and this has been the case throughout the ages.

The Han Dynasty also sent a letter of credence to the Da Yueshi, condemning it for taking advantage of the war between the Han and the Hungarians to sneak attack and seize the land of the Da Yueshi, and to be a wrong teacher.

"Whose head?"

"Before the war, Bowanghou led a team of envoys from my big man, who was visiting Parthia. Lu Ji, the deputy envoy of Bowanghou, was sent here with his head chopped off.

Parthia wants to warn us that if we don't retreat, Lu Ji will be our fate.

They also left a message saying that the next time they cut off, it would be Bo Wanghou's head. "

Wei Qing thought that if Zhang Qian was chopped off like this, he would be wronged.

But the war between the two countries is imminent, and no one can change it.

After Yao Zhao reported the matter, he came out of the commander's tent and walked to the side of the barracks, on a hill with a slightly higher terrain, looking west.

There is a small lake under the high ground. Yao Zhao saw a Han army's soldiers and horses drawing water.

It was the new Confederates.

The leaders are Liu Chai and Jin Xu.

The two personally commanded the troops and went upstream to investigate the water source along a small river that converged into the lake.

"You don't have to be so careful. It's common sense to investigate the water source of the resident and the upstream and downstream directions. Before you come, we have inspected it, and there is no problem." Yao Zhaoyang said.

Jin Xu once followed Huo Qubing, watched Yao Zhao and other lieutenants fight, knew each other, and replied:
"We are going to use troops against Parthia, and it is a military order to investigate water sources."

Yao Zhao: "Parthia's soldiers and horses are not easy to fight, you'd better be careful."

Liu Chai raised his head from under the short hill, looked at Yao Zhao, and said calmly:
"Just wait and see how we fight against the enemy and defeat the Parthia soldiers and horses."

……

The Lan Clan City of the Da Yue Clan and the Parthian Army and Horse Camp were set up here.

In the main hall of the former Da Yuezhi's palace, more than twenty generals from various Parthian groups stood solemnly.

In addition, Wan Ruo, a fish from the Guishuang tribe left behind by the five tribes of the Da Yuezhi, and several people under his command.

There are only three seats in the hall, and one is Tutah, the Parthian commander in Da Yuezhi.

This burly general sat on the side seat.

Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man who was as tall as him, with impressive thick eyebrows and dark brown pupils.

This man is called Bhutto, and he is one of the most famous commanders in Parthia.

Tutah was Bhutto's lieutenant in his early years.

He was honest and respectful in front of Bhutto.

On the other seat besides the two, sat a figure in black clothes, even his face was covered by a veil.

This person's breathing was heavier than that of ordinary people, as if he was seriously ill, but the fluctuations of the dissipated power were extremely powerful, which could rival Bhutto's.

This person was out of tune with the atmosphere in the hall, and attracted the observation of many Parthian generals.

"Tutah, during the previous confrontation with the Han people, you used troops rashly and were fooled several times. Do you know where you went wrong?"

Bhutto's voice was gentle, but his face was stern and his eyes were aggressive.

Tutah shyly said: "I thought that the armored heavy cavalry under my command were invincible in the world, and the Han army would be crushed like our previous opponents, making the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the Han general was cunning and damaged the precious armored army, so please be punished by the commander. "

Bhutto sat there, wearing ancient dark silver armor and a helmet on his head.

On his armor, dazzling cold silver symbols appeared from time to time, and his back was filled with an aura that was different from that of the Han army, but also unique to military strategists, layer upon layer.

In the depths of the breath, a hazy figure manifested, like a god, holding a spear in his hand, and occasionally shooting out arcs of electricity.

"Since the commander-in-chief is here, I would like to be the vanguard of the commander-in-chief and defeat the Han army." Tutah said.

Bhutto said: "If you can't overcome the impatience in your mentality, you can't achieve the realm of commanding in the practice of divine power. You can only be a general."

"I have seen the process of you confronting the Han army. The opponent's general is steady and fierce, and he will win every shot. You are not his opponent.

When fighting the Han, we don't have to rush to win, we can lure the opponent to attack first, and let them take advantage of it. "

On the other side, the man in black was the soldier who had previously led the poisonous army and marched northwest.

His voice was hoarse, and he said in a not-so-proficient Parthian language:

"Marshal Bhutto is right. In the past few years, the Han has been fighting for years, which has consumed a lot of money. It will be more beneficial to Parthia to prolong the front line. Besides, there are factional disputes among them, and there is no shortage of things to use."

……

Han and Parthia started the battle two days later.

The Chinese army did not move.

However, Li Gan and Tutah, as the vanguard, took the lead in fighting.

The two sides confronted each other on the plain, using light cavalry.

The fighting started in the morning, and after fighting for half a day, there were losses for each other.

At this moment, under the dispatch of Xiao Shehu, the southern army led the troops with Jin Xu, and crossed into the battlefield from left and right.

The Parthian side immediately dispatched troops to respond.

Afterwards, the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, but Parthia suddenly blew the horn to withdraw its troops.

After the war, it was discovered that it was Xiao Shehu who reported to Wei Qing, and at the same time arranged another army as an ambush. Liu Chai led [-] southern troops to attack Hemo City in Parthia and attack their camp.

If successful, it can cut off Parthia's retreat route, posing a great threat to its former army.

Parthia retreated after hearing the news, and the Han army pursued them, winning a small victory.

In the next few days, the two sides fought many times, and the Han army had the upper hand.

Under the leadership of Xiao Shehu, the southern army made great achievements many times. The news was sent back to Chang'an, and the clan was greatly excited.

On the front line, Xiao Shehu's face, which had been tense for days, also eased a little.

Liu Chai and Jin Xu continued to lead troops into battle, winning small victories continuously, and they were also excited.

It's not just a victory against the enemy, the key is that the two have already shown their confidence and their spirits are fully up.

"Although there are some discrepancies between the changes in the battle situation and our prior judgment, the results are exactly the same."

In the barracks, several generals of the southern army gathered together.

Liu Chai was in high spirits: "Just wait for the Chinese troops from both sides to enter the battle, I will launch the attack as planned, and I will definitely win a big victory!"

Jin Xu agreed: "These few raids you have made, you really have the demeanor of a champion."

The corners of Liu Chai's lips twitched slightly: "Champion Hou..."

Xiao Shehu said steadily: "The main forces of both sides have not yet appeared, and the enemy should not be underestimated. It is too early to talk about the outcome."

Both Liu Chai and Jin Xu agreed: "It's free for the two of us."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

One evening in the last few days of July, when Huo Qubing returned to his residence, he found that the atmosphere at home was somewhat different.

At the same time, he received a message from Zhao Puonu and others: "Grand Sima, we have rushed to the battlefield, and the Chinese armies of both sides are about to engage in a full-scale battle."
