It was within Liu Ju's expectation that he did not stop Li Guang from going out.After all, the emperor didn't trust Li Guang's ability so much, but he still wanted to use him. It can be seen that he didn't have a suitable candidate to replace Li Guang, so he had to do it as a last resort.

It was another matter. Liu Ju hesitated for a long time and discussed with Huo Guang before finally making a decision. They remained silent and did not interfere with the Battle of Mobei.

According to the battle plan formulated before the war, Huo Qubing led [-] riders out of Dingxiang to fight against the main force of Yi Zhixie, while Wei Qing led [-] riders out of Daijun to challenge Zuo Xianwang's troops.

Not long after leaving Chang'an, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were about to go their separate ways when the emperor heard that Yizhi was slanting to the east, so he urgently ordered Huo Qubing to leave Daijun and Wei Qing to leave Dingxiang.

However, the information that the emperor got at the last moment was wrong. Yi Zhixie's main force was not in the east, but in the west, and the goal of changing generals was not achieved.

In the service, Wei Qing led Li Guang, Gongsun He, Zhao Shiqi, Gongsun Ao, Cao Xiang and others to capture the prisoners after leaving the fortress. Knowing that Yi Zhixie had not gone east, he led his own elite troops to rush forward and ordered Li Guang, Zhao Xiang Shiqi made a detour from the East Road.

Wei Qing led the army and traveled more than a thousand miles, across the vast desert, and met Shan Yu's headquarters, which had been waiting for a long time.Seeing that the Xiongnu army was well prepared, Wei Qing ordered Wugang chariots to surround the camp to stabilize the position, and then sent [-] cavalry to fight, and Yi Zhixie also ordered [-] cavalry to fight.

The two armies fought fiercely until dusk, when a strong wind picked up suddenly and sand and stones hit their faces. Wei Qing took advantage of the momentum and commanded the army to outflank the Huns from the left and right wings and surrounded the Xiongnu army.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yi Zhixie thought that the Han army was strong and strong, and it would be difficult for him to win, so he led hundreds of strong cavalry, broke through the encirclement and fled from the northwest, and the Xiongnu army was routed.

It was getting dark, and the two armies were still fighting, with equal casualties.At this time, Zuo Xiao of the Han Army captured the prisoners and learned that Yi Zhixie had escaped, so he urgently reported to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing hurriedly sent Qingqi to pursue them overnight, and led the main force to follow up.By dawn, the Han army chased for more than two hundred li, but failed to catch up with Yi Zhixie, and wiped out more than ten thousand enemies along the way.As far as Zhao Xincheng in Yanyan Mountain, 9000 enemies were wiped out, and their accumulated millet was burned to return to the army.

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi lost their way and failed to join Wei Qing in Mobei.

At the same time, Huo Qubing led school lieutenants Zhao Puonu, Li Gan and others to join forces with Lu Bode, governor of Youbeiping County, and his subordinates after leaving the fortress.

In the process of going deep into Mobei to find the main force of the Huns, Huo Qubing maintained his usual style and practice. He only let the soldiers carry a small amount of necessary food and grass, and drove the captured Huns as forwards to open the way for the Han soldiers to march forward bravely.

After crossing the desert, Zhao Puonu captured Chanyu Minister Zhang Qu alive, and through interrogation he learned that Yi Zhixie's main force was in Dingxiang, and there was only General Zuo's main force here, and there were also some Xiao Wang's. tribe.

In order to verify Zhang Qu's confession, Huo Qubing ordered Zhao Anji to lead his troops to attack the tribe of a young king, Bicheqi, and killed King Beicheqi. After confirming that Zhang Qu was not lying, he ordered the army to go straight to General Zuo's camp.

In the battle, Huo Qubing led his troops to defeat General Zuo's troops and captured the opponent's flag and drums.Afterwards, he led his troops over Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, and captured three people including King Tuntou and King Han, and 83 people including General, Xiangguo, Danghu, and Duwei.

In this campaign, Huo Qubing captured a total of 440 Hulu with more than [-] casualties.So far, the arms of the left and right sage kings of the Xiongnu were completely severed.Huo Qubing enshrined the wolf and lived in Xushan, Zen in Guyan, and returned by facing the vast sea.

After this battle, more than [-] Huns were annihilated on both sides, and their vitality was severely injured. Afterwards, they fled to Mobei, and there was no royal court in Monan, and their strength gradually declined.

But Liu Ju knew that if there had been no change of soldiers and generals, the results of the Battle of Mobei would have been even more brilliant.

After all, the emperor's original plan was to let Huo Qubing fight the main force of the Huns, and he also equipped him with the most elite soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the information was wrong, he and Wei Qing exchanged opponents, and later Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi missed their due dates, which made Wei Qing fight a very difficult battle, because the military achievements could not exceed the battle losses and did not benefit, his subordinates None of the military officials and soldiers had a title.

Liu Ju had thought that it would be fine if the emperor didn't issue the edict before the war.But in this matter, he has no right to speak at all, because he doesn't know, how to explain to the emperor that he knows Yi Zhixie's whereabouts is simply unreasonable.

After much deliberation, Liu Ju finally consulted with Huo Guang.Huo Guang's meaning was very clear, he didn't want to say anything.

The reason why Huo Guang thought this way was very simple. Liu Ju couldn't justify himself, and the emperor couldn't believe his statement. It was useless except to increase his doubts.

Moreover, Huo Guang was very worried. Neither he nor Liu Shi knew about military affairs. Even if they followed the original expedition plan, there was no guarantee that other accidents would not happen.

Rather than that, it would be better to watch the previous battle situation repeat itself.Of course, it would be better for Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi not to get lost.

Liu Shi was also afraid of this, what if the war didn't go smoothly because of their intervention, so although he was unwilling, he finally followed Huo Guang's dissuasion, kept absolute silence, and didn't say a word about it.

Since Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the troops to leave Chang'an, Liu Ju has returned to the state when Huo Qubing participated in the Battle of Hexi. Whenever he was free every day, he would go to the announcement room to ask if there was any latest battle report.

Besides, he had to set aside some time to play with Huo Shan in Jiaofang Hall.The little guy hasn't seen his father for a while, and he can't think about it. He often looks around by himself, as if he is looking for someone.

One day, Liu Ju had to teach Huo Shan to speak on a whim, but unfortunately he taught him many times, but Huo Shan just refused to call him uncle, and the little guy finally got annoyed, so he simply turned his face away and ignored him.

That's all it takes. At most, Liu Ju thinks that the little guy doesn't know how to do it yet, so just teach him slowly.

Unexpectedly, when Huo Guang opened the door and entered the room, Huo Shan turned his head and smiled at him, calling him "Uncle" sweetly.Although Huo Shan's pronunciation was not standard and his speech was vague, Liu Ju could clearly hear that he was called Uncle Huo Guang.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was immediately unhappy, why not.Although Huo Guang is the younger brother of Brother Qubing and Huo Shan's uncle, he is closer than his cousin and uncle, but he really spends more time playing with Shan'er than Huo Guang.

"Xiao Shan'er, quickly call me uncle, or I won't play with you in the future." Liu Ju stretched out his hand, turned Huo Shan's face away, and forced him to look at him.

But the little guy has a stubborn temper, the more he pushes him, the less he likes to talk to him.He glanced at Liu Ju twice, blinked his big eyes, grinned his little mouth, and started howling with a wow.

Liu Ju panicked, and while begging for help from Huo Shan's nanny, he coaxed him nicely: "Little Shan, be good, don't cry, I don't want you to call me, can't you?"

Huo Shan smiled smugly, and called out in a childish voice: "Uncle..." The voice was soft and soft, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

After Huo Shan was taken away by the nanny, Huo Guang sat down opposite Liu Ju and asked, "Your Highness is in a bad mood?"

Liu Ju nodded silently, and said with a serious expression: "There has been no battle report from the front, and I am very worried." Before the battle, he kept thinking that he must prevent those bad things from happening.

After the real battle started, he became afraid again, for fear that his unintentional actions would backfire and bring unnecessary trouble to his uncle and brother Qubing.If that was the case, Liu Ju could hardly forgive himself.

"Your Highness, we haven't changed anything, so you don't need to worry too much." Apart from saying a few more words on Li Guang's question, Huo Guang didn't think that Liu Ju had done much to affect the situation of the battle.

After all, given Liu Ju's age, a young prince who was still studying had extremely limited influence on military affairs.Huo Guang is convinced that the outcome of the decisive battle in Mobei is almost the same as in his previous life.

Three days later, in Liu Ju's eagerly awaited mood, Wei Qing's battle report was finally delivered to Chang'an in haste.

Just as Huo Guang guessed, the beginning, process and ending of this campaign were all the same as what he knew.Only one thing, the lost person was not Li Guang, but Gongsun He.

What's going on, my uncle didn't let Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi go back from the east road, Liu Ju and Huo Guang looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.

Originally, Wei Qing wanted to use Li Guang, but he remembered that before he set off, not only the emperor expressed concern about Li Guang's fate, but also the little prince who was not familiar with military matters seriously reminded him that he must give old general Li more money. With wizard.

Wei Qing is not a person who believes in fate, but Li Guang has failed many times. Apart from bad luck, there are presumably also his own reasons.

Unfortunately, Gongsun He followed in Li Guang's footsteps, and he and Zhao Shiqi were doomed and got lost.

After a long time, Liu Ju sighed quietly: "It seems that Old General Li is really not destined to be a Marquis."
