[Han Wu Huo Wei] Yuan hunting seven years

Chapter 16 Extra Story: White-headed Sima 6

In recent years, the most eye-catching new star in the Han army is a young man named Li Ling.Li Ling was born in a very good family, and generations of generals came forth in large numbers. His ancestors could follow Li Xin, the famous general of the previous dynasty. Famous (he once beat Han Yan in front of the Emperor Han), his uncle is Li Gan.

This young man really deserves to be a descendant of the Li family in Longxi. He is intelligent, heroic, fearless and proud.Therefore, everyone in the Li family was deeply comforted, saying that his deeds are like those of the ancients. Everyone is sure that Li Ling is a great talent.

It's a pity that Li Ling was born a little later and missed the ultimate battle in Mobei. Since then, in the wars in places such as the imperial court's pacification of the southwest, the breaking of Loulan, and the conquest of North Korea, there were too many people who wanted to make contributions. Perhaps Li Ling was not good at drilling camps, and he didn't get a very good one. great opportunity.

Of course, gold will always shine. A few years ago, the emperor of the Han Dynasty appointed Li Ling as Jianzhang Supervisor and gave him [-] horses for the sake of Li Guangzhi.For this reason, the emperor of Han promoted Li Ling to be the captain of cavalry, and taught riding and archery in Jiuquan and Zhangye to prepare for Hu.

What Li Ling was waiting for was just an opportunity for him to show his talents, revive the Li family, and wash away the regrets of his ancestors.This is also the responsibility, honor and dream that he must take on as the Li family.

Coincidentally, in the year when Wei Huo returned to Chang'an from Shuofang, Li Ling's long-awaited opportunity seemed to have finally arrived.

In the past ten years, the Han Dynasty had two great Sima sitting in the northwest at the same time, and the Han-Hungarian border has always been quite peaceful. There have been military tests with each other, but there has been no real battle.Yi Zhixie's new interpretation was that after all, he was frightened by the military power of the Han Dynasty and showed signs of softening. He even sent an envoy to Chang'an, as if trying to find a new way of diplomatic relations.Unfortunately, the envoy of the Huns died of illness in the territory of the Han Dynasty. The emperor of Han sent his body back to the Huns with the envoy, but the envoy was detained by the suspicious Huns, so the friction between the two countries resumed.

In this year, the Xiongnu replaced a new Chanyu called Wushilu. As soon as he succeeded to the throne, there was a drought, and the nomadic people depended on it for survival. Livestock were killed and injured, and the Huns naturally complained, which directly affected Chanyu’s status. , in order to divert internal conflicts, Wushilu decided to adopt a tough policy against the big man again, in order to unify the outside world and stabilize the kingship.

His decision was also quite controversial among the Huns.Without him, the Xiongnu is not the Xiongnu of the past, and the big man is not the old man. Many old people who have suffered the double wall of the Han Dynasty feel that the previous kings lost to Mobei when the country was at its peak, let alone today.Therefore, the Han court soon received a message that the Huns had a captain named Zuo who wanted to surrender to the Han, and asked the Han army to accept the surrender.

Han Emperor Liu Che accepted this request, but he did not take it too seriously.This is different from the Hexi Najiang in the past. The Hunxie and Xiutu tribes brought not only the tribesmen, but more importantly, this surrender formally embedded the Hexi Corridor into the territory of the Han family.This time, it was nothing more than a further blow to the momentum of the Huns.

However, it is still a happy event to promote the internal strife among the Huns.From another perspective, it also confirmed Liu Che's thoughts. After fighting for so many years, the savings of the Han Dynasty's generations have been exhausted. , even worse than the big man.

Therefore, Liu Che summoned the generals and set the tone to accept the surrender. In order to facilitate the response and at the same time not leak the news, he decided to replace Huo Shuofang's Eagle Strike General Zhao Ponu with [-] riders out of Shuofang and advance [-] miles northward to Junji Mountain. Collision.

Zhao Puonu happened to be in Chang'an because of a change of defense, so he was obeying orders.The hussars had experience in accepting surrenders, so they were not as relaxed and optimistic as the other generals, so they bluntly asked a few practical questions.The general was a prudent man, and suggested that another army should be dispatched to protect the rear wing of the Han army and also serve as a support.The emperor had no objection, but it became a stalemate when the only person was selected.

Liu Che originally preferred Li Ling, which was also the reason for him to inherit the ambition of his father and ancestors. However, Li Ling wrote a letter asking for a fight. He did not want to be a rear army, but was willing to go to the front line and fight for the country. The words were very impassioned.After Liu Che finished reading, he frowned and smiled, and said the words "courage is commendable", and refuted him on the pretext that there were no extra cavalry.However, Li Ling was not afraid at all, and continued to fight hard. The way is that he would rather strike more with less, and lead five thousand soldiers to go straight to the court to explain.

This time Liu Che was a little moved. He had been a loner for too many years, and he liked people who were not afraid of him the most. After thinking about it, he summoned the chief ministers to discuss matters.

After reading Li Ling's surprise attack on Yuting with [-] infantry, the general didn't say anything, the hussars laughed angrily, and said simply, "This is death."

Liu Che was noncommittal, just smiled and said, "Captain Li is so bold, it reminds me of Huqi back then."

What the Son of Heaven said was very meaningful. It is true that when the Hushi was less than [-] years old and led thousands of troops to Hexi, the world thought it was shocking. It is rare for the Emperor to trust him and give him this opportunity. ride.Today, the emperor seems to be asking, Hussar is already a great Sima, does he have such a heart for newcomers?

But the hussars didn't realize it, and said indifferently: "Since your majesty has issued an order, I should urge Li Duwei to obey the order."

Liu Che laughed, this time he agreed very happily.In fact, why didn't the emperor understand that Wei Huo's position was awkward when the Li family was involved, and it was also the same reason why Li Ling dared to challenge him directly by leapfrogging his rank.As the Son of Heaven, Liu Che didn't mind if his subordinates had a little bit of grudges. Only in this way would they be closer to and rely on his ruling.Therefore, in this matter, Liu Che was very happy to let the hussars come forward, just like when Li Guang asked for a battle in Mobei, he didn't show up but took the general as the villain.

Moreover, Emperor Han is a cheerful person. He liked the spirit of hussars the most in those days, and what he scolded the most in recent years is that hussars have lost their former style.Although he intends to train newcomers, he is not in a hurry. There are two big Sima around. For newcomers, it is good to have one more, but it is okay to have one less.

Huqi has always been vigorous and resolute, so Huo Guang, Huqi's younger brother and Li Ling's good friend, held a banquet at his doctor Guanglu's mansion and invited Li Ling to discuss state affairs.

When the old Li family heard the news, they urged Li Ling not to go to the Hongmen Banquet. How could someone like General Hushi be trusted?The former Marquis of Guannei followed him through life and death, and made great achievements in battle. He even dared to kill him brazenly, and he still can't get justice!

But Li Ling only detained him in groups, thanked everyone for their kindness, and said calmly: "He's going to fix it!"

On the day of the banquet, Li Ling was dressed in a military uniform, and went to the banquet alone with his sword in his hand. The host, Huo Guang, was the best at being a man, and he came to greet the guests at the gate of the mansion.It's funny to say that the "deer" incident was a turmoil back then, the Li family lost two lives, and Huo Yuan was stationed in the northwest for ten years, but the descendants of the Li family in Chang'an became good friends with Huo Guang.The reason is that in order to calm down this matter, after Wei Huoyuan was garrisoned, the Prince of Wei, Liu Ju, took Li's daughter. Li's beauty was quite favored by the Prince, and it was Huo Guang who was in charge of contacting before and after the wedding. .

The more the banquet is not a good one, the more graceful and harmonious the host and guest are.Huo Guang still had the old demeanor, sincere and humble without losing his status. At the beginning, he said that his elder brother was already waiting in the mansion, and Li Ling also acted upright with clear grievances and grievances.

The two talked and walked, and walked into the backyard. It was early summer, and there was a green jujube tree in the courtyard. Huo Qubing was dressed in casual clothes, watching the bees collecting honey in the tree, with a peaceful expression, but he just stood there, standing upright, Huo Guang and Li Ling stopped involuntarily.Huo Qubing turned his head when he heard the sound, and when his gaze swept over him, Li Ling raised his chest without realizing it, stepped forward, and said calmly: "I have seen General Hushi."

Huo Qubing didn't care about etiquette, nodded and said: "Li Duwei is here."

These words were plain and simple, but when the hussars uttered them, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression, coupled with the entanglement between the two families, Li Ling's blood surged suddenly, he calmed down a bit, Fang said proudly.

"Li Ling is a great man. He went out to fight for the country and inherited the behest of his ancestors. He is worthy of heaven and earth! How can he be entangled in personal grievances, why should he be afraid?"

Huo Guang was slightly taken aback by Li Ling's sudden appearance. For many years, he had never seen anyone dare to act so presumptuously in front of his elder brother. Huo Guang was waiting to smooth things over, but before he opened his mouth, Huo Qubing said without realizing it.

"Take a seat."

Li Ling was tense at first, he didn't want the hussars to be unaware, just like punching all the cotton, he couldn't help feeling discouraged, but he was vigilant, it seems ten years away, today's hussars, the city is no longer That year.

At this table, Hu Qisu didn't talk much, Li Ling was vigilant, everyone had their own minds, but with Huo Guang around, he managed the atmosphere well without showing any signs.The hussars actually smiled, and praised the jujube trees in his brother's courtyard.

After the banquet, Huo Guang signaled his servants to accept the remnant banquet and bring a sand table.Huo Qubing looked at Li Ling and said, "Please."

Li Ling got up quickly, and listed out the military plans he had been familiar with for a long time. This is a battle plan for marching northward after leaving the customs, and searching for the enemy army in order to fight. He has been thinking about it for a long time and has repeatedly considered it. , who thought he was flawless, quite proud, without the slightest hesitation when making a move, while Huo Qubing just watched from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, and his face was expressionless.

However, silence is also a kind of pressure. For some reason, the calm Li Ling gradually felt a little strange, and his subordinates also hesitated, almost guilty.For many years, everyone said that he was born a hero and a natural military strategist. Li Ling had always thought highly of himself. Zen Guyan of Langshan Mountain has been sealed.

Hussar was 22 years old at the time. At this age, the God of War, Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin had just worshiped his general, General Wei Qing had only just entered Dragon City, and Marquis of Jiang, Zhou Yafu, was still in Xiliuying. Even his grandfather, the legendary air general Li Guang, was still a Xiaobing, based on this point alone, no one in the Han army can break the legend he wrote.

Li Ling also thought that Huqi is not what he used to be. He has not fought in Shuofang for more than ten years. Perhaps, the decisive battle in Mobei was also the pinnacle of Huqi's life, and even he himself could not go further?But when he actually saw the man in front of him, Li Ling suddenly realized, or he said it lightly.

Let's put it this way.The hussars were not in front of his eyes, or he could credibly comment, if he said too much, it seemed to be true, as if he was above him, and he felt that the world-famous Huo hussars were nothing more than that, and he felt like everyone was intoxicated and I was alone.However, when he actually saw this person, Li Ling only felt that he was being ridiculous. He didn't care about anyone else. He hasn't made any achievements so far. How can he compare with this person in front of him?In fact, in the army of the big man, the three characters of Huo Qubing, unless it is the general Wei Qing who is also known as the double wall, are enough to make anyone feel ashamed and helpless.

And he, Li Ling, wanted to line up in front of this person. The calmer the other party was, the more he looked like a child who was playing tricks. It was a huge pressure that couldn't be described in words. It could be said that the existence of the hussars was enough to make all his colleagues lose confidence and courage in an instant.Li Ling was very uncomfortable, almost embarrassed.

Huo Qubing patiently waited for him to finish the demonstration, Fang said.

"Where is the main force of Yuting? What is the strength of the troops?"

"Enemy transfer speed?"

"How many enemy troops can be sent to reinforce within two days of fighting?"

Li Ling blushed suddenly, he had made it very clear that this time he was leading the army out of the pass, and he was going to listen to the main force of the enemy army in order to fight.Who doesn't know that the Huns live on horseback and move erratically. The plan he set up was originally the normal pattern of the Han army.Hussar's questioning like this is obviously a picky one!

However, Huo Qubing's tone was very calm, there was no trace of hostility, and there was no joy or anger on his face, only a majesty, which made people dare not be too presumptuous.What annoyed Li Ling the most was that these questions seemed very simple. After hearing this, Huo Guang, who had no military knowledge, probably thought it was very common. If he couldn't even answer these questions, it would be a joke.My own attainments may not be as good as his, but why be so picky and sarcastic!

He calmed down his chest, and then slowly said: "General Hussars, this humble general has been training in Jiuquan for many years, all his subordinates are brave and loyal, well equipped with bows and men, they can hit a hundred shots with a hundred shots, and they can strangle a tiger with bare hands. If the humble general's tactics are different If it is right, then I ask the general to speak out and give advice, the humble general is just following the example of the general in the Battle of Mobei."

Huo Guang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, what Li Ling meant was clearly telling the hussars that it was just luck that the general bumped into Da Chanyu in Mobei back then.Subconsciously, he quickly glanced outside the door.

Huo Qubing took a look at the bold young man this time, and said, "No." He took half a step forward and answered while gesturing on the sand table.

"There are about [-] soldiers in our headquarters, all of whom are elite cavalry. Their movement speed is [-]% faster than that of the Han cavalry on average, and they are roughly the same as the cavalry trained by General Zhao."

"The main force of the headquarters is mainly concentrated in the north of Junji Mountain. In this season, it is these two locations."

"Once our army encounters them, the opponent will be surrounded by six and one, and the infantry will be surrounded. The speed is very different, and there is no way to get rid of it."

"Two days after the start of the battle, there will be [-] to [-] reinforcements near Chan Yuting, and they will rush to the battlefield from these directions."

"The main battlefield is two thousand miles away from our border. The Shuofang garrison needs reinforcements, and the geographical disparity is too great..."

Hussar answered his question just now while making a demonstration, his tone was extremely calm, almost without any emotional ups and downs, as far as he was concerned, he was quite patient.And Li Ling's expression gradually became serious.

This is really a peculiar debate. The two sides of the debate, one is the most expected new star among the younger generation of the Han family, and is recognized as brilliant; There are few rivals in the world.In their hands, the sand table turned into a boundless desert, one hundred thousand cavalry against five thousand infantry, it was a cruel, tragic, desperate and almost unnecessary battle.

From the beginning to the end, Huo Qubing did not criticize Li Ling's response to the enemy, some of which were even wonderful. However, the wrong decision to send troops was doomed. , and finally the whole army was wiped out.

Li Ling's palms were sweating, and he understood it completely. This was an unexpected ending for him, but he couldn't find a place to refute it intellectually. However, the pride of being a descendant of the Li family made him unable to remain silent like this. .This young man's courage is really bold, and his temperament is the most straightforward, so he forced himself to say to the hussar: "This is talking on paper, he refuses to accept it!"

The hussars have improved in recent years, and they replied: "You can't win on paper, let alone in actual combat."

Li Ling didn't speak for a long time this time, then stomped his feet, and suddenly turned around and left.The incident happened suddenly, Huo Guang was startled and wanted to chase, but was stopped by Huo Qubing with outstretched arms.

The tacit understanding between the two brothers is also good, Huo Guang thought about it, he looked at the sand table again, Huo Guang didn't understand military affairs, and just half understood a lot of words, to him, Li Ling's defeat was not surprising at all, in Huo Guang's mind, The only one in the world who can fight against elder brother is his uncle. He was curious for a moment, so he couldn't help asking: "From elder brother's point of view, how is this person?"

Huo Qubing answered very simply: "If you have talent, you can't be a general."

This sentence seems to be a bit contradictory. First, Huo Qubing rarely recognized Li Ling's talent in using soldiers, but he clearly denied his ability as a general.

Huo Guang was thinking about this, but Huo Qubing said again: "Zimeng, it doesn't have to be like this in the future." As he spoke, he looked outside lightly.

Huo Guang blushed for a moment, feeling very embarrassed, and for a while he argued: "I mean it well." This is true, he was worried that there would be a conflict today, so he secretly deployed soldiers outside, as a precautionary measure, and had no other intentions. He also knew that his elder brother didn't like power schemes, so he even hid it from him.

Seeing his appearance, Huo Qubing knew that he was being serious, so he stopped mentioning it, and instead smiled and said: "Xiaoguang, your tree is not bad, uncle loves jujube, give it to me."

Outsiders have no way of knowing what Huqi and Li Ling were arguing about. People only saw that Li Ling resigned from office the next day, saying that he was willing to guard the mausoleum for his grandfather.

As a result, Li Ling's heroic battle ended in aborted, and the outcome might be just talk on paper, but the public opinion was a certainty.Throughout the ages, scholars of literature have lamented endlessly, praising Li Ling for being upright and upright, treating his fame like dung, how cool he was to abandon his official position and hide himself, and they also said that the Li family had a good life, a famous general who never appeared in the world, just died like this.If Li Ling can win a battle, he will definitely win and his name will be left in history. I am afraid that the hussars will also lose their color. The hussars must be aware of this, so they suppressed Li Ling with force, and made Li Ling Yuyu his life. It is because the hussars have no energy and cannot tolerate others Get ahead.

That day, when Huo Qubing returned to the mansion, he saw Wei Qing was studying in his study, although this man was calm, he ran over, he was worried about himself.Wei Qing smiled lightly when he saw him.

"how?"

Huo Qubing nodded. He had talked too much with Li Ling today and repeated a lot, and he was already tired. Now that he returned to Wei Qing's side, he felt peaceful in his heart.The two had always had a tacit understanding. Seeing his expression, Wei Qing knew that the trouble had been solved, and felt relieved, so he didn't ask any more questions, just patted him on the shoulder, and continued to read the book by himself.Huo Qubing sat beside him for a while, but suddenly said.

"General, it's a blessing to be cured."

Wei Qing still stared at the book, as if he didn't hear it, but after a while, he said.

"It's also my luck."

Li Ling didn't want to be the rear army, so the emperor sent General Fubo Lu Bode to meet Zhao Ponu's division in case of emergency.

Zhao Puonu and Lu Bode are both former hussars, and they honestly asked the two chief ministers for advice on the flaws in their battle plan.

Wei Qing listened to it carefully, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He and Huo Qubing personally built the front line of Shuofang. The mobile equipment, food and supplies were sufficient. Wei Qing was confident, but he was always very serious about dealing with wars, and he was worried about Zhao and Lu. In recent years, when he was not on the northern front, he made special inquiries and explained the enemy's situation in Shuofang, which made Zhao and Lu sweat profusely.Finally, Wei Qing was satisfied, and said another very important sentence.

"Think a little more about everything and plan for the worst first."

Zhao Puonu nodded deeply. In the past few years, he has been reading the military experience co-authored by the two great Sima with his heart. They have something in common. To put it simply, they are all in an invincible position.

It is true that the battlefield is ever-changing, no matter how careful the planning is, there will always be risks, and no matter how careful the arrangements are, fighting is often another matter.However, this does not mean that a general should only rely on a bravery.Zhao Puonu used to follow the hussars, and saw that he was decisive in killing, and learned from his courage and courage. Now that he is getting older, he realizes that the hussars can break things that others dare not, because he spent longer than ordinary people in advance. The more time and energy he has to understand the enemy and the battlefield, the more he understands, the faster he will naturally make up his mind.The victory or defeat of a battle, pre-war preparations accounted for five points, and judging the situation before the battle accounted for another three points. As for the bravery that I was proud of when I was young, it was only one or two points.

Huo Qubing doesn't talk much, he has become more patient in recent years, and he is willing to explain to his subordinates slowly when he is alone, but if Wei Qing is there, Huo Qubing is still used to Wei Qing communicating on his behalf. Anyway, the two have roughly the same idea, what he thinks Wei Qingduo also asked.This is one level, but on the other level, Huo Qubing's way of thinking is different from Wei Qing's. He feels that Zhao Puonu is far from being completely independent, and only needs a little confidence. This step cannot be ordered, and he needs to come out by himself.

Sure enough, when he was leaving, Zhao Puonu couldn't help but asked Huo Qubing again according to the old habit, "What orders does the general have?"

Huo Qubing only said: "Po Nu, you are the commander."

As a result, the battle was full of uncertainties. Before the arrival of the Han army, Lieutenant Zuo was killed because of his defeat. The [-] cavalry led by Zhao Puonu met the [-] cavalry from the headquarters of the Huns.

The incident happened suddenly, Zhao Puonu was not flustered, and commanded the counterattack. The two armies fought in the first battle. The Han army was sharp and well-trained. Although the Xiongnu had a large number of people, they were defeated by one blow.Although this battle was quick, it was the first time since Mobei that the Han and Hun two fought against each other, so the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and some soldiers volunteered to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Zhao Ponu was unusually prudent.

People who have experienced the battlefield usually have an indescribable instinct, as if they can detect the danger in the air. Zhao Puonu is a person who has followed the hussars across the vast sea. He has seen the real retreat of the Xiongnu army. Although the Huns were defeated this time, they did not panic.Perhaps the uneasiness is just intuition, and Zhao Puonu also has very clear figures to further support this intuition. This place is the hinterland of the Xiongnu, two thousand miles away from the Han territory. According to intelligence, there are about [-] soldiers in the headquarters, and the enemy can catch up within a few days. There can be up to [-] cavalry on the battlefield, while the Han army has only [-] cavalry of its own. The nearest Lu Bode came, and there was no advantage in terms of time and place.Now that Captain Zuo has already failed, at this moment the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light.Combining all these factors together, Zhao Puonu quickly made a decision not to pursue and quickly led his team to move.

It turned out that although the Xiongnu were lucky enough to quell the civil strife this time, they were afraid that their subordinates would follow suit. With the current national strength of the Huns and the Han family's operations on the two fronts in the northwest, the Xiongnu could no longer directly invade and harass the Han territory. The army alone has penetrated two thousand miles, so it wants to wipe out this Han army at all costs.It's just that the strength of the two sides is not far apart at this moment, and it is difficult to encircle them with a three-on-two advantage alone, so they deliberately show weakness and lure the enemy to go deep, and wait for their own large forces to arrive before fighting a decisive battle.

No, Zhao Puonu was not fooled, and after a small victory, he disappeared without a trace.As a result, the Huns were so nervous, the erratic hussars were famous all over the world, and countless lessons taught them that once they lost sight of them, the goodbye would be a thunderbolt, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiongnu Chan was a ruthless man, and he didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity. He couldn't wait for the large army to encircle him, so he could only lead his troops to pursue it himself. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he captured the missing Han army. The two armies fought several times, but the Han army Although the number is small, the equipment is extremely sophisticated, and they imitate the Mobei tactics of the great generals of the year, forming an formation with WISCO carts. Although they are in the desert, they are as strong as a city, and the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses.

The two armies fell into a stalemate. If the Xiongnu wanted to eat Zhao Puonu's army, they had to fight quickly. Otherwise, as soon as the reinforcements from the Han Dynasty arrived, they would be the ones who went deep alone.The Huns knew very well that the maneuverability of the Han cavalry was about the same as theirs, and the opponent was good at bows and arrows. They fought and retreated like this. They seemed to be weak, but in fact they had no flaws. Every day the war was prolonged, the Han cavalry got closer to the Han territory. , The advantages and disadvantages of the two armies will be rewritten at any time.On the front line of Shuofang, the Han Shuangbi has worked hard for ten years. Perhaps, the Han army entangled with them is simply planning. They seem to be retreating, but in fact they have gained a strategic advantage step by step and turned the tide of the battle.

On the sixth day after the battle, before Lubode's reinforcements arrived, the Huns had already retreated, leaving countless corpses and nearly [-] casualties along the way.

Emperor Han was quite satisfied with this battle. Although it was not a great victory, the Han army was able to kill tens of thousands of enemies with few enemies. More importantly, this further weakened the prestige of Xiongnu Chanyu.So the emperor of Han deliberately made it very lively, praised the meritorious officers and men, granted Zhao Puonu the fiefdom, and changed him to the Marquis of Cuye, which also affirmed the young general's ability to stand on his own.

However, Zhao Puonu cried out in his heart that he was lucky. On the last day of the battle, the Han army had actually run out of water.Zhao Ponu was really in a hurry, and hated himself for being careless, and chose this place without water to camp. He brought enough bows, food and grass for this trip, and there was no reinforcements, and the Huns could do nothing about him. , everything is at a loss.In the dark night, all the emotions were expanding, and all the pressure was breaking out. For a moment, Zhao Ponu almost wanted to find water by himself, but he restrained himself. After all, he was the coach.And that night, the soldiers who went to find the water never came back.

It is true that there are chances in the world, but luck only exists for those who are prepared.After all, the Han army was already quite close to the Han territory at that time. If the Huns chose to fight again, they might be able to severely injure the Han army, but he himself had no chance of retreating.In other words, the Xiongnu finally left without a fight. It was the overall strength of the Han army that surpassed them in this battle, which contributed to this "luck".

When Wei Huo went to court, he was relieved to learn that Zhao Puonu had broken through the siege. After discussing business matters, the two left the city together and broke up. Huo Qubing had something to go back to the camp, and Wei Qing went to visit Su Jian.

Su Jian retired back to Chang'an due to illness a few years ago. He has been seriously ill recently. Wei Qing has been thinking about it and sent many practical things. Only he himself is busy with military affairs and cannot be distracted, so he can take time off today.

Su's family is outside the city, and most of them are retired ordinary soldiers. Su Jian likes this kind of feeling, so he settles here.His house was not big, and it was so cold that it could be called a barren house. Su Jian lay stiff in it, and the patient was afraid of light. Khan, and when he saw Su Jian's skinny appearance, his heart sank, knowing that this person might not be able to survive.

Su Jian was implicated because of Zhao Xin's betrayal of the Han Dynasty. Although he was recovered and went to Shuofang, he was never reused again.However, what really made Su Jian sad was his eldest son, Su Wu, who was the most proud of him. Su Wu was the same age as Huo Qubing. He was detained, and his life and death are still unknown.

Su Wu has been ill for many years. Although he is from Wei Qing's old department, he is still older than Wei Qing, but he is not old, so Wei Qing did not think that he would really be unable to bear it.On the way here, Wei Qing was originally in a good mood, and the big man won the battle, which is something to be comforted with, but looking at Su Jian in front of him, Wei Qing suddenly couldn't say anything.

Su Jian was a man who had fought the Huns all his life. When he was in crisis, he always put his life and death aside. He deserved to be a real soldier. He gave all his best years and energy to the big man.This person, like the countless soldiers Wei Qing has led, embraces a simple and simple truth. They draw their swords and fight in the hope that their homeland will be safe and peaceful. With their bloodshed, the people will no longer have the pain of separation. Only when there are more people, the big man won peace and dignity.However, not every one of these soldiers who devoted their lives to the great man received the reward they deserved, but today, in peace, Su Jian had a rough half of his life, and when he himself was dying, he couldn't see his beloved son.

At this moment, Wei Qing, as the commander-in-chief of the big man, just felt sorry for him.

Su Jian was open-minded, stretched out his skinny hand to shake him, said in a low voice, with a smile on his face: "The great general's kindness in the past, the Du Ling Su family dare not forget, Ah Wu can die for the big man I am sorry for the general, you are the son of my Su family! Just rest assured, the general, the Su family would rather die than surrender!"

Wei Qing was still speechless, but shook his hand vigorously.On that day, Su Jian seemed to be in a good mood, he said a lot, and looked peaceful, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't ask the general for his son, and he didn't say a word.

Soon, Su Jian passed away, and until his death, his beloved son was still in the Huns. Su Wu would rather die than surrender.

Wei Qing stayed at Su's house for a long time, and when he came out, it was already late, and it was not far from Jianzhang camp, Wei Qing asked his soldiers to disperse first, and took the horse by himself, walked for a while, and found that it was not far from his old residence.

Whenever he came to this place, Wei Qing would always think of many things about him and Huo Qubing when they were teenagers. At that time, he was not a general, nor was Qubing a general of hussars. They were just two children who only had each other. Thinking about one day Yuema Grassland, but I didn't know how far I would go.Those years, those many common memories, every happy event, I feel kind and nostalgic when I think about it, because it is so good, Wei Qing sometimes wishes to repeat everything again, even so, it is still not enough.

Therefore, as long as Wei Qing returns here, he can forget almost all the troubles.Even if it was the year when Huo Qubing went to Shuofang alone, when he was bored, he would sit and sit alone, thinking about the past, as if Qubing was by his side again.Only this time, Wei Qing looked at the familiar scenery, and his heart was still unspeakably heavy. He didn't say anything, and stood quietly for a while, and went directly to Jianzhangying.

As Wei Qing expected, Huo Qubing had so many trivial matters today, so he really stayed in Jianzhangying.Huo Qubing was extremely strict with the army. With him here, the entire Han camp was so quiet that it could disappear into the night at any time.When Wei Qing arrived at the entrance of the big tent, the sentinel standing up saw the general approaching in a hurry, and only saluted him silently.Wei Qing nodded, and when he entered the tent, he was slightly stunned. The lights in the tent were brightly lit, while Huo Qubing fell asleep sitting in front of the desk, sleeping deeply, with soft snoring sounds from his nose.

Huo Qubing was always vigilant, but human beings are flesh and blood after all, Wei Qing knew that he had only slept for less than three days in the past ten days, he must have been exhausted, and it was Wei Qing, so he was defenseless.

Wei Qing lightened his steps and put out the big candle in the tent without making a sound, leaving only the one on Huo Qu's medical record unmoved, then walked around to his side, picked up a copy of the copy, and wanted to read it. Seeing what he was busy with, his body suddenly sank, but it was the familiar body temperature that Huo Qubing felt in his sleep. He had just slept with the table and was not comfortable, so he naturally tilted over at this moment.Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, smiled, and sat down slowly next to him. He knew Qu Bing's temperament, if he was to wake him up to sleep at this moment, he would definitely refuse, and instead he would work until dawn, so it would be better to let him By dozing off by myself, I can rest for a while.

The two sat back to back, Wei Qing was still holding an official document, and planned to read it for him, but after reading only two lines, the candle on the case flicked out.The lights suddenly went out, and it was pitch black, but now there was nothing he could do, Wei Qing couldn't laugh or cry, he felt that he had found a drill for himself, but Huo Qubing slept so well, Wei Qing didn't move, and sat in the dark to accompany him. with him.

After a while, Huo Qubing changed his position again. Wei Qing looked thin, but in fact his muscles were strong and his back was very broad. Huo Qubing was used to sleeping since he was a child, so he found the most comfortable position and was very satisfied.His body was heavy, and Wei Qing had to straighten his back to hold on. It was summer, and both of them had high body temperatures. It was a little hot together, but perhaps because of the closeness in their hearts, there was such a person who trusted him so much. Sleeping next to him, Wei Qing felt lighter for no reason, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. He originally wanted to put a few more important matters in his mind, but Huo Qubing didn't sleep for a few days. As soon as it gets dark, the eyelids become heavier and heavier.

The intention was to close your eyes to rest your mind, but unexpectedly fell asleep like this, Wei Qing opened his eyes again, and found that this time he was lying on the couch, and Qu Bing woke up at some point, and was sitting busy at the desk again, presumably because he was afraid To bother himself, he only lit a very dim small lamp. He leaned in front of the lamp, concentrating too much, and his back, which was always straight, was a little curved.The candlelight hit Huo Qubing's face, under the half-light and half-darkness, there was still a dark blue color under his eyes, the line of his jaw was also tense, he was solemn and serious, but also had a rare solemnity.

Huo Qubing was furiously writing, but he didn't raise his head when he heard the sound, he just quickly said: "Uncle, rest for a while." Then he got busy again.The two just broke up in the morning, Huo Qubing woke up and saw Wei Qing came here suddenly at this moment, he was also a little surprised, but he was full of thoughts in his mind, so he didn't have time to ask each other.

Wei Qing likes Huo Qubing's high spirits when he is working. This kind of monograph, which is so busy that all relatives don't recognize it, is similar to him on the battlefield.

Although Wei Qing had something in his heart, he was a person who became calmer and calmer the more he met Fan Ju, and immediately put aside his own matters and wanted to help, but when he came across the case file, Huo Qubing had already snorted and glanced at him quickly, obviously disliked him Not helping, Wei Qing let out a hey, seeing him silent, Huo Qubing had no choice but to stop writing and pushed a lot of copywriting to him, and handed over the candlestick
