[Han Wu Huo Wei] Yuan hunting seven years
Chapter 17 Extra Story: White-headed Sima 7
When Huo Qubing was 37 years old, the Dahan switched to the Taichu calendar, and officially took the first month as the Zhengshuo, which was the first year of Taichu.
Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, remembered a mausoleum guard named Tian Qianqiu from nowhere, tried everything possible to find him, and made him a rich man, and patted the prince on the shoulder and said, "This man is loyal and upright. I can't laugh or cry.A few years ago, Emperor Han was still ill. Although he recovered quickly, he seemed to be a different person later, and made a series of unfathomable wills. Tian Qianqiu's whim was harmless anyway, and everyone was used to it.
And this year, Prince Liu Ju had another happy event. He had another daughter, born of the beloved Li family.The birth of the little princess caused Huo Guang to turn several hairs gray.Without him, the prince Liu Ju was born in the first year of Yuanshuo, and now he has both children, while Huo Guangna's elder brother is almost married, but he is not yet married.When Huo Guang thought of this, his hair was more than white!
Huo Qubing said when he was young: The Xiongnu is not destroyed, why should the family be.
Who would have thought that he was really alone so far.
Some people said that that was the person Huqi could not marry if he had been in love with him all his life.
Legend has it that when the hussars went out to fight, they fell in love with the princess of the Huns...
Legend has it that Hushi was waiting for Princess Wei, and when her hair was almost gray...
Some people also privately said that the hussar was injured on the battlefield, so he didn't want to marry, or he couldn't marry...
Some people even go around saying that Hushi doesn't marry on the surface, there are so many beauties in the house, and there are more confidante friends in the world than his soldiers, it's not that he doesn't want to marry, but he doesn't know who to marry...
Among the divergent opinions, there are quite a lot of eclectic stories, as well as allusions of ghosts and ghosts, which have been passed down in the contemporary era. Huqi himself has always been indifferent. He can't stop the world's mouth, and it's hard for the world to want him.
It was Huo Guang who cared, marriage was still a trivial matter.To some extent, he understood that his elder brother is a real man, and all men put career first. In a sense, his elder brother married his Hussars long ago. For many years, his elder brother and his uncle talked about military affairs every day, busy, That kind of speculation is very happy, far better than ordinary people marrying a wife who can't talk.
But, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest!
This point, Dr. Huo who has always been calm, gets angry when he thinks about it.Brother is such a hero, how can he have no descendants! ? !But Huo Guang couldn't do anything about his elder brother. When he talked about the "Huo" bloodline and his brother's earnestness, he almost burst into tears. Being an elder brother was just a joke, and he even laughed at whether his younger brother was "useless".Huo Guang was so depressed that he had no choice but to make a fuss in his stomach, so Dr. Huo made a solemn promise with his elder brother before he got married that he would adopt his first son to his elder brother in the future!
When this agreement was made, the two brothers happened to be at Wei's house, Mrs. Wei and Huo Guang had the best relationship, and they immediately helped him when they saw him being deflated. I changed my surname to Huo.
Wei Qing was there at the time, and it was very interesting to watch them besiege Huo Qubing.Huo Guang's heart moved again, and he wanted to use the mouth of the general to say "uncle's order". He was thinking about how to say this so that it would be euphemistic and pleasant, but his brother glanced at him with a half-smile.
Hussar himself still didn't care about it, and said in public as if chatting in public: "I should have called Wei Qubing back then."
Everyone was dumbfounded, but the general was unprepared and choked so much that he spit out a mouthful of tea... Forget it, Wei or Huo, isn't Wei and Huo a family?
Huo Guang was worried about his life, he couldn't give up, and decided to wait for his brother to return to Chang'an for another in-depth discussion.Doctor Huo has the perseverance to fight a protracted war!
Huo Qubing and Wei Qing went to the border again, this time not to fight, but to disarm.In the past few years, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has made a big turn in his strategy against Hungary, and officially changed from offensive to defensive since Mayi.In the ten years since Mobei, although the Han and Hungarians have not had any large-scale wars, the two fronts in the northwest of the Han territory have always been in the mode of preparing for war.
Now, the Huns are hiding in the extreme north. If the Han family wants to fight the Huns, they have to go out of the country for more than [-] miles, which is extremely expensive. Similarly, the Huns want to gather more than a large number of troops to harass the Han territory, even if the opponent is nomadic. It is also a great consumption, and the national power of the Xiongnu is far below that of the Han.
Therefore, the emperor of Han made it clear that we should seize this opportunity to recuperate and maintain our national strength. Then, the defense of the border does not require as many soldiers as in an emergency war.How to establish an effective and relatively economical defense system, and how to properly accommodate retired soldiers are the work of Da Sima.
Therefore, Wei Huo had a discussion, and the two split up. Wei Qing went to Beidi to be in charge of He, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang, while Huo Qubing went to Dai County to take charge of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong line.Counting the distance, Huo Qubing ran farther, but in recent years, the most frequent Hun enemy sightings are still in Shuofang. In terms of workload, Wei Qing is naturally busier.
Huo Qubing came back from western Liaoning in a hurry. On the way, he received a letter from Wei Qing, saying that he was coming too, and told him to wait a while. After calculating the distance, they made an appointment to meet at Hedong, so that they could go to Hexi together.
Strictly speaking, Wei Huo is from Hedong, only Huo Qubing grew up in Chang'an, he is like an aborigine, except that Yuanshou took a younger brother away from here in the second year of Yuanshou, this is the second real stay.Wei Qing was another matter. As we all know, this great general of the Han family spent a not-so-remembered childhood in his hometown, and never looked back after leaving.Therefore, even Huo Qubing's soldiers were a little curious this time, chatting privately, wondering how the general would feel when he returned home?
Huo Qubing also heard a few words, but he only smiled. He knew that Wei Qing seemed to be a peaceful person but he was determined. He left, for better or for worse, and it will be the past, and there will be no turning back. Compared with the world that this person saw later, it is really too small, how can it be worth mentioning?
A few days later, Shuang Bi got together, and the two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. They both felt that although the other party was busy in the world, he was still elegant, so he was naturally happy.Yinshan produces fine wood, which is suitable for making bows and arrows. Huo Qubing used to like it the most. This time Wei Qing specially brought some new ones with him.On the spur of the moment, the two chief ministers competed with arrows on the spot, with hundreds of stones and big bows. The generals seldom showed off their personal strength, and the accompanying soldiers were an eye-opener. Only after winning the good wine from Hushi Xinde, he was elated.
Wei Huo didn't want to attract attention, so he walked quietly, and even the local officials didn't disturb them. They are people who can't stay idle. There are also many soldiers who have recently retired and returned to agriculture in Hedong County, so they went to see the livelihood of these people in a low-key manner. .
It is the season of autumn harvest and wheat ripening. This is a good year. Many farmers are working in the fields, and there are singing songs in the middle of the day, which is very cheerful.Wei Huo chose a secluded place, looked at it silently for a while, feeling a little sighed and comforted in his heart, the east river is not far from Chang'an, but Mobei later said that the world will be settled, this place looks more difficult than when he passed by back then Fortunately, the Son of Heaven, Shengming, rested his troops to support the people, and accumulated a few more in such a good year, and regained some vitality. Presumably these people can laugh more happily.
The official affairs went smoothly, the people's livelihood was stable, and Wei Qing was in a good mood. He even took Huo Qubing and the accompanying soldiers to eat a meal of elm money.
After dinner, Wei Qing wanted to go out for a walk again, and the two of them went out without making a sound.According to Wei Qing, he used to herd sheep in this generation. There is a forest not far in front of him, and there are very sweet fruits in it. I want to take Huo Qubing there to have a look. I don’t know if the fruit forest disappeared in the past, or Wei Qing simply remembered it wrong. It was getting dark, but I still couldn't find the place.
So the hussar general suggested that the two of them had been going around in circles. The general firmly believed that he would never get lost, and he showed the majesty of a big man commander, saying that it was the military law of those who disturbed his army's morale, and dragged the hussar general who kept teasing and buried his head. Going forward, darkness is of course not a problem, anyway, both of them are night fighting masters, in the end, the two big Sima detoured a lot of wrong roads, failed to go straight to the fruit forest, only found a lake, vaguely like Jianzhanglu, the two of them also Tired, I sat down by the lake.
When Huo Qubing went to western Liaoning this time, he went out to sea in a stormy boat, and he realized the vastness and boundlessness of the sea.As a generation of famous generals, his vision is also different from others. He only went to sea once, and he felt the difference between water warfare and cavalry warfare. He made gestures with Wei Qing on the wet and soft lake sand on the ground.
Wei Qing had never tried the method of water warfare. In the old days when the great Han sent troops to Dongou, he was only Jianzhang Battalion Supervisor. Later, during the Yuanshou period, he built the Kunming Pool to the south of Linyuan. He was also busy planning the Battle of Mobei.However, the way of soldiers has its own similarities, not to mention the use of soldiers like Wei Huo.
This is a new topic, the two of them instinctively have professional interest, coupled with rare peace of mind, really full of interest, met opponents, unconsciously forgot the time, until the wind blowing by the lake did not realize that it was already late at night.
Yelu wet the skirt of the clothes, the coolness was refreshing, Wei Qing was still lighting the fire, Huo Qubing quietly took off the clothes and put them on his shoulders.Wei Qing smiled slightly, without any excuses, just pulled him to sit by the fire, everyone said that Hussar boy Husui was cold and arrogant and didn't know how to be considerate, but Wei Qing felt that Qu Bing really wanted to treat someone well, as long as he had the heart, he could do it It might be too good to be more considerate than anyone else, but asked Wei Qing to remember something, and said.
"Zimeng wrote me a letter, worrying about you very much..."
As Wei Qing talked to him, Huo Guang was worried. Unlike Huo Qubing, in his mind, Huo Guang always seemed to be a child, and Wei Qing couldn't help laughing every time he saw this child talk to adults.
With the relationship between the two of them, Wei Qing has no reason to persuade Huo Qubing to start a family again, only the adoptive matter, Wei Qing also thinks there is some reason.On a deeper level, Wei Qing has always liked the title of Huo Qubing, the champion, and thinks it is very appropriate. He has a son himself, and Wei Qing feels awkward when he thinks that there will be Changping in the future but no champion.
This is not the first time he said this, Huo Qubing just listened with a smile, anyway, in his ears, Wei Qing's voice was the most gentle and pleasant, and he enjoyed listening to it quietly for a while.Wei Qing talked for a long time, but he just didn't make a sound, he seemed to hear it, but he didn't seem to, he held a grass in his mouth, his eyes blinked from time to time, his pupils flickered, and he seemed to have some new ideas, he looked a little angry and happy, That casual look, in Wei Qing's eyes, is really the same as when he was a teenager.
Huo Qubing didn't respond for a long time, Wei Qing also said that he was tired, the two looked at each other, Huo Qubing suddenly smiled, threw the grass in his mouth, put his hand behind Wei Qing's back, and patted his face gently, taking advantage of Wei Qing's slight Startled, she quickly kissed him on the other side of the cheek.
No one had ever patted his face like this before. Wei Qing was stunned before he realized that this action was familiar. Qu Bing clearly used to do it when he was a child.He was not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Huo Qubing kissed again, whispering in his ear while kissing.
"I wish I could be uncle's uncle, accompanying you since childhood, and raising you up as a dude."
Wei Qing almost thought that he had heard it wrong. Apart from being surprised, he also felt admiration for Huo Qubing's imagination. How could he switch from the topic just now to this topic?Dude general, do whatever he wants?Wei Qing didn't feel like himself when he heard it.If not, then avoid it. In the middle of the night, Wei Qing decided not to talk nonsense with this person. I don't know why, but he still thought about it: I don't want to be a dude, it's better for me to do this kind of thing.
Huo Qubing knew that his face was thin, so he didn't dare to laugh even though it was funny in his heart, he just looked at him earnestly, Wei Qing was dumbfounded by his seriousness, no one knew what the general was thinking, maybe he was too shocked However, Wei Qing was silent, and suddenly stammered out a sentence.
"Just like you raised Xiaoguang, forget it."
Huo Qubing couldn't bear it this time, stretched out his arms to hug him hard, then lay on his shoulder and laughed, he jumped up seriously when he had enough, stretched out his hand to pull Wei Qing, and said in a very simple way while pulling .
"Come home with me, uncle."
After such a disturbance, Wei Qing had a dream that night, in the dream he turned back into the kid herding sheep back then.Only this time, he was not alone. The lamb he usually rode had a heavy dumpling on his back. Wei Qing was leading the sheep and looked at him from time to time.He took the little guy along and said that he was going to see the sea. The little guy happily threw sweet dates on him, cajoling and coaxing him with slurred sweet words, and his voice was very sincere and reliable: "Uncle, uncle, I will return to you in the next life." Come with me, okay?"
Wei Qing fainted from the noise, so he answered "Yes" vaguely.Cough, General Dude... If it's you, you can also discuss it!
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty has a characteristic of his administration in recent years, that is, he will spare no effort to complete everything as long as it is conducive to establishing the prince's prestige.Liu Che ordered the ministers to re-discuss the etiquette of the "adult" princes, especially respecting them, and especially increased the punishment for slandering the prince.He himself took the prince with him to the court, taught him personally, affirmed it from time to time, and ordered the court to report directly to the prince.In the palace, Liu Che visited Empress Wei very regularly every month, and hastily sent all the prince's brothers to the fief, telling them not to return to Chang'an without an edict.In general, Emperor Han is delivering a very clear decision, there is no doubt at all, after a hundred years, he is determined to pass the country to the prince.
However, Liu Che is an open-minded person. Whether he wants to treat people well or badly, he is aggressive and domineering without concealing it. Usually, he is so turbulent that the other party is uncomfortable and even trembling. Especially, this kindness seems to be It came too abruptly.
In Prince Liu Zheng's mind, his father was a great emperor since he was a child. Even if he himself will rule the world one day, Liu Zheng can't imagine that he can be compared with him in any way.As Liu Che's son, this is a huge pressure. Subconsciously, Liu Ju always wants to do something different from his father, so it seems that he has never really gained his father's approval.Now, everything changed overnight. Liu Ju asked himself that he was still the same person as yesterday, and he didn't do anything to change his father's impression. He just felt flattered and unable to speak to anyone.
Liu Che has one advantage. He seems to be moody and unfathomable, but deep down he is a very sincere person. Once he realizes a problem, he will actively try to find a solution.In response to the prince's subtle estrangement, Liu Che himself didn't say anything. He thought about it, and it happened that when Huo Qubing came back from Hexi, the emperor ordered the general Hussars to accompany the prince to inspect the Hussars camp.
Hussar has a very special status in his generation. From Liu Ju to the brothers of the Wei family, almost no one really regards him as a peer.Wei Huo is equally famous, Liu Ju is still learning swords, and the hussars are already vast.Huo Qubing hadn't talked much since he was young, and he always kept his duty as a monarch and minister to the crown prince. Although Liu Ju saw him often, he was not familiar with him, and he couldn't get acquainted with him, but those children of that generation would not selfishly envy them, wishing they could be like Huqi people.
However, it was this unfamiliar person who did something that moved Liu Shi very much. Before the "deer" incident happened, Huo Qubing played in the capacity of Da Sima Hussar General, asking for the emperor's third son to be king.This performance shocked the government and the public. No one thought that the hussars who only knew about military affairs and had never been involved in government affairs would directly interfere with the succession of the emperor's family.
Liu Ju didn't expect it at all, he was still young at that time, and remembering the private conversations between his mother and Princess Pingyang, he lamented that Huo Qubing's face was cold and his heart was hot, but after all, he still missed the friendship with his uncle.It doesn't matter why, Liu Ju was very moved, even if his uncle Wei Qing spoke for him, he would not be so moved, because his uncle always treated him well, but Huqi was almost a stranger, and this stranger, willing to take the risk It was a huge risk, standing on his side between the father and him, and spoke clearly.
However, the two did not get close because of this, Hu Qi is not easy to get close to, and Liu Zheng is not good at win over.For Liu Ju, what moved him even more was a kind of recognition, which was more important than support.Liu Ju is a kind man, and he always remembered this incident. For this reason, Hu Qi was stationed far away for ten years, and he treated Huo Guang very well, not like a monarch and minister, but like a little brother.
With this deep relationship, coupled with the goodwill of both parties, Liu Ju was well respected the day he inspected the hussar camp.The hussar battalion was perhaps the youngest army in the Han army. Although the world is peaceful now, this army has a special spirit, and has always maintained the vitality and wildness that are usually found in the founding army.The military camp is the easiest place to infect people. Even though Liu Ju has a peaceful temperament and doesn't like fighting, he was moved by this unique atmosphere.
Therefore, when Huqi accompanied him to eat alone during the inspection, Liu Ju sighed: "If Dr. Dishan is still there, he should be brought to the Huqi camp to study, and he would not lose his life in vain."
The prince's words are self-deprecating, but there are some origins. Dr. Di Shan is the prince's man, and he is like a half-teacher. Zhang Tang, the official censor, argued that he considered himself "foolishly loyal" and called Zhang Tang "fraudulently loyal".At that time, Wei Huo was stationed in Shuofang, and the emperor of Han was counting on Zhang Tang to implement the policy of "counting money" and other policies to raise funds for the military. He had no interest in this kind of debate. Liu Che's handling was extremely happy. He didn't comment on the right and wrong of the courtiers, but sent Dishan, who was so eloquent that everyone was speechless, to the border to be in charge of Hexi Yizhang. Within a month, the Xiongnu took Di Shan's head.
This matter is a knot in Liu Shi's mind.He brought Di Shan in front of his father, in fact, not to sing a different tune, except for other voices, Liu Ju was more or less trying to prove that he was already an adult with his own thoughts, but the result can only be described as disheartened.
Since then, Liu Ju no longer easily communicated with his father when he had his own ideas, and he is Liu Che's son. Although he has a milder temperament, the pride and stubbornness in his bones are generally the same. Once he forms his own ideas , it is difficult to change.
Huo Qubing, more or less, was able to understand the prince's thoughts, and even his hidden worries that he didn't express.In all fairness, His Majesty has treated the Prince very well since that illness.However, His Majesty's character, when he finds that a talent needs to be reused, he will spare no effort in cultivating it, and personally remove any obstacles for him. However, most of the people who have been supported by him like this will end badly, the so-called killing.
The hussar pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up, kneeled solemnly in front of the prince, and said.
"The minister is dead, and I have a word to play to Your Highness."
Liu Ju was taken aback.In his memory, Hussar was very proud when he was young. Even when he saw his father, if it was nothing serious, he would always stand and salute. His manners were not as cautious and thoughtful as other ministers, but Hussar dared to say and do anything. Father Huang laughed and said many times that General Hussars was not even afraid of him.Such a person is now kneeling in front of him with a big gift.
Liu Ju's first reaction was shock, and he immediately wanted to help him up, but the pride in his father's bloodline he inherited made him sit back on the same spot. For the first time in his life, he clearly realized that he was the king, and This person is a minister.Liu Ju said in a calm voice as much as possible.
"Speaking."
Huo Qubing said: "I'm guilty of death, but your majesty is right about Dr. Di Shan. Your majesty has no second thoughts towards your majesty, a father is kind and his son is filial."
Liu Ju was startled, shocked and moved.The trust between people is a delicate fate.This remark was said by a second person, it really didn't have such weight, maybe it only made Liu Ju more disgusted.However, maybe there is a source of outspokenness in the past, maybe because it was Huqi who spoke, and the world knows that he doesn't bother to tell lies. Perhaps the most important thing is that Liu Ju is not always the child of the past. Regarding the matter of Di Shan, Today, he is more able to let go of his pride and understand the heart of an emperor.
Hexi is the northwestern gateway of the Han Dynasty. The four counties have not been established for a long time, and a large number of Huns surrendered. Therefore, the matter of disarmament is also the most complicated. With the ability of Wei Huo, he has been traveling between Hexi and Chang'an in recent years.
The two great Sima were very busy in Hexi, but someone in Chang'an secretly reported to His Majesty that the Great Sima purchased a large manor in Jiuquan under the guise of official business, raised tens of thousands of horses, killed countless dead, and had evil intentions.
Liu Che looked at it and just took a look.Since his illness, he had a very clear principle that he did not want to do anything that would harm the crown prince. To put it to the extreme, even if the crown prince would really rebel, this time, Liu Che had made up his mind not to bother.As for Wei Huo, the only thing Liu Che couldn't figure out today was that he didn't know if the crown prince had the blessing to have these two mighty generals behind him guarding the frontier for him.The only thing that made Liu Che a little uncomfortable was the talk about the manor, which reminded him of the Tian Dou dispute he had dealt with when he was young.
Therefore, as soon as the crown prince came, Liu Che straightforwardly handed over the matter to him, and made a clear statement of his attitude first, and those who spread rumors would be punished severely.The crown prince got along with him much more naturally in recent years. He glanced at him and smiled, but said that he knew about it.There is a manor, but it is not that big, and there are soldiers in it, but they are all retired soldiers with missing arms and legs. These people have fought for big men all their lives. where to go.
It is also difficult for the big Sima to live without rice. Those who can be arranged into the state institutions have been arranged. The rest can't be helped. The two big Sima bought a manor and arranged for these veterans to retire.Other people's manors are the foundation of rich families, but Da Sima's manor is a loser. With the current scale, it probably loses most of the general's Zhilu every year.
Liu Che froze for a moment, patted his son on the shoulder, laughed loudly, and said, "If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know what to do with food, rice, oil and salt." His words were narrow, but he hadn't laughed so happily for a long time.Liu Che thought this was funny. Compared to Sang Hongyang, Wei Huo was indeed not a good financial manager. However, over the years, whether in Shuofang or Hexi, Wei Huo had always calculated the border military expenses well, and gradually became self-sufficient. Why did he get so confused that he lost money when he arrived at his manor.
After laughing, Liu Che instructed the prince to set up more similar farms in various places to pay for these veterans who had killed enemies for the country.Liu Ju also thought it was true, but the funds were a bit tight. This was the most practical problem. Liu Che waved his sleeves when he heard this, and immediately ordered people to take out all the treasures that had been buried with Maoling in the early years, pointing to the Start with money.
This decision not only changed the color of the prince on the spot, but the officials also felt shocking when they heard about it.However, Liu Che was not moved at all, and even named this institution "Gonggongli". When naming it, the emperor had a little embarrassment that others could not detect.
During the hottest days in Chang'an, Dr. Guanglu Huo Guang took a rustic young doctor to the General's Mansion in a hurry. Dr. Huo, who has always been prudent, took such strides this time that he almost went to help the doctor himself when he got off the car. Lifting the very heavy medicine bag made the little doctor a little nervous, and followed closely behind.
The General's Mansion was very quiet in the afternoon, the trees in the courtyard had grown very tall, covering the sun with thick shade, it seemed cooler than the outside.
General Wei has three sons, who are now divided into government offices. Right now, two are in Shuofang, and one is in Liaodong. They are beyond reach and cannot go home to serve the sick. The Han family values filial piety, and their wives are willing to do filial piety on their behalf. It's just General Hussars I am also very filial to this uncle, and came here first after hearing the news. Hushi is in his prime and unmarried, so he is different from his cousin's family members. It is not very convenient.
The dormitory has a high ceiling, few furniture, and very bright light. There are two people in casual clothes in front of the couch. One is cloaked and half leaning on the couch, and the other is sitting beside him. His face is in the shadows, and only a pair of eyes can be seen. Black and deep, it is naturally the famous double wall of the Han Dynasty.The doctor didn't dare to take a closer look, and hastily lowered his head. His eyes were lowered but he was stunned. It turned out that the patient was not resting in bed, and the two were playing chess.
The doctor was young, bold and curious. He didn't go to see the patient immediately. Instead, he sneaked a peek at the chess game while saluting.The chess game has reached the middle stage, black and white disputes are fierce, but no one can gain the upper hand. Just took a look and was fascinated.
Huo Guang thought he was rude, so he coughed, but the general didn't care, pointing at the chessboard and smiling.
"What are you looking at?"
The general's voice was very gentle, and the doctor boldly replied seriously: "Well, this chess was actually played by one person. This person's chess skills are very high, but he is just upset..."
Before he finished speaking, the hussar general who had been silent all this time glanced at him. On a hot day, the doctor was so cold from head to toe that he watched him, and immediately fell silent, but the general laughed, praised him for his unique vision, and asked him again What is the name, why don't you join the army?
It is said that the general is lenient and easy-going, but the little doctor was quite touched. He said that he is from the north, his surname is Chen, and he really wants to serve the country. , the general seems to be in good spirits, his body is thin, his face is a little swollen during illness, and his complexion is slightly yellow, but the lines reveal the peace and open-mindedness after years of refinement, his eyes are still bright and young, it can be seen that he used to attack at night Gao Que's demeanor.
The rest of the treatment was simple and smooth. The doctor is best at typhoid fever, which is why the Huo brothers came all the way to pick him up. The young doctor said with absolute certainty that the general was just too tired a few days ago, not For typhoid fever, a few injections and three doses of medicine will definitely heal.In this way, everyone is happy.
When the doctor took the needle and was about to prick the general, he accidentally saw that the stern and majestic Hussar General suddenly turned his head away.The young doctor thought cheerfully, hey, why do people always say that they have a bad relationship?
When the outsider left, Wei Qing looked at the game of chess and couldn't help feeling itchy, and wanted to invite Huo Qubing to a fight. Huo Qubing originally didn't want him to be bothered by his illness, so he played left and right to relieve his boredom. Of course he refused, and only agreed to play again. Show him a game.The two played chess for a while, and then talked about the young doctor who had a good vision and courage, but unfortunately he was too weak to join the army, otherwise he would be a good candidate for a general.
After spending half the afternoon in this way, Wei Qing said that he was too bored to lie down all day, this time Huo Qubing didn't make a fuss, and accompanied him to the yard for a walk.When the doctor was there, Wei Qing also saw Huo Qubing's unbearable gesture, and when he thought about it, he made fun of him. Huo Qubing pretended not to hear, and changed the subject to take him to see the horse.
Wei Qing loves horses, and has seen countless good horses, but probably in order to set an example and maintain the simple atmosphere in the army, the general never bought himself a decent horse in his life.When Huo Qubing was young, he couldn't see him, so he was given to him several times, and Wei Qing either sold or gave it to others. Even today, Huo Qubing himself rides an ordinary Hexi native horse.
Of the several horses in the stables, two are the oldest and the most distinguished. A white horse accompanied the Han general through Mobei. When it saw Wei Huo, it looked like an old friend, and it had its own style. Proud, when Wei Qing is in good health, but he has free time, he always washes for him himself.The other black horse belonged to Huo Qubing. The Huns called him a "devil" because he was so handsome. When a child heard its hoofbeats, he didn't dare to cry. Unfortunately, he accidentally drank poisonous water in Mobei and fell ill after that.After the war, Huo Qubing fostered it with Wei Qing. Wei Qing was good at raising horses, and he cured it again. When Huo Qubing went to Shuofang alone, Wei Qing came to see his horse when he was free.
After watching the horse, the two went around to look at the grapes.The grapes from the Grand General's Mansion belong to a famous family and were bequeathed by Zhang Qian.Wei Qing never made friends with ministers, Huo Qubing's style is similar to him, Zhang Qian is an exception, it is rare that they are friends in common.
In the second year of Yuanshuo, Wei Qing defeated King Baiyang and King Loufan, and regained Heshuo.The next year, benefiting from this great victory, Zhang Qian, who was detained by the Huns, fled in the chaos and finally returned to Chang'an after a thirteen-year absence.At that time, Liu Che, the talented emperor of the Han Dynasty, had already set his sights on Hexi, often intentionally or unintentionally encouraging Zhang Qian, who was familiar with the terrain of Hexi, to make more friends with Wei Huo.Zhang Qian is a witness who has personally witnessed the big man from weakness to strength, and understands the truth of having no country and no family. Therefore, although he is not a soldier, he and Wei Huo get along very well.
Although this friendship is worthy of the name "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water", it is rare to stand the test.In the second year of Yuanshou, Zhang Qian and Li Guang's troops cooperated with Hushi and Gongsun Ao to go to Hexi. Unfortunately, in the four-way army, Zhang Qian lost his time, Gongsun Ao got lost, and Li Guang was outnumbered. He almost turned the tide of the battle on his own and won the Hexi Corridor for the big man.For this matter, the emperor of Han took Zhang Qian's title and deposed him as a commoner.
At that time, this disposition caused a lot of criticism.First of all, strictly speaking, Zhang Qian was originally a diplomatic talent, not a military commander. In a sense, the emperor took advantage of his shortcomings this time.Secondly, this person was sent as an envoy for the great man, and he went through many hardships. His aspirations remained unchanged, and he opened up the Western Regions.On a deeper level, people didn't dare to explain it, but they all vaguely felt that the emperor of Han's severe punishment of Zhang Qian and the other three tribes was actually a side effect for the young hussar general, and it was very difficult for the hussar general to be his ally.
The world is discussing a lot, but no one knows that after the Hexi War, the hussars went to Zhang Qian's mansion in person. When the two met, they both apologized to each other frankly first. Take full responsibility.The so-called gentleman is magnanimous, and the villain is always sad. This has been the case throughout the ages.
So after this incident, the friendship between the three became better, and Wei Huo would often gather under the grape trellis to listen to Zhang Qian's stories about the Western Regions.Unfortunately, this scene was only a flash in the pan. In the third year of Yuanshou, Wei Huo was still planning the battle of Mobei.Zhang Daxing was high-spirited and very proud, and said: The Han envoy who can protect the two banners of Wei and Huo at the same time, he is No.1!
Even four years after Yuanshou was peaceful, Wei Huo went to Shuofang again, Zhang Qian was still in Wusun country at that time, and Wei Huo came back today, the old man has been in the loess for many years, fortunately, the vines are still there.
Huo Qubing looked at the green vines. Zhang Daxing was older than Wei Qing. He had suffered too much in his early years, and his health was not good, but his spirit was always enthusiastic and lively, full of the heart of a child. Mo Dao is always younger than his uncle, and he often laughs at himself as a young and mature man. With him around, there are endless fresh ideas.When I went to Shuofang alone, I also received a letter from him from thousands of miles away, not a single word about the "deer", only saying that the general is very lonely now, but fortunately he found a lot of delicious food from various countries in the Western Regions, and he is going to ask someone Give it to the general, and you have your own share... Such a person full of vitality has been gone for so many years.
Wei Qing often said to him that the great man can have today's peace because of the hard work of one generation, no, even several generations. However, not everyone can live to witness this moment. Wei Qing, his brother, was unable to bring Zhang Qian and Su Jian back to life. Fortunately, the most important people were still by his side.
Huo Qubing couldn't help but look at Wei Qing. Today's Wei Qing is not what he used to be. Huo Qubing carefully looked at the lines in the corners of his eyes, and there was a trace of trance-like tenderness. He had seen the sharp eyes of the boy pressing the sword. The heroic spirit of the young general, and the calmness and wisdom of the Han general who was used to Yue Zhiyuan were all like yesterday. This was the first time Huo Qubing discovered that Wei Qing was really getting old.This time it was not because of fatigue, but because of the marks left by the years, and it was deeper. Perhaps today's big man has finally stepped on a smooth road that makes people feel at ease, so Wei Qing will grow old with peace of mind.At this moment, Huo Qubing felt something inexplicable in his heart, which kept coming up, some joy, some fear, some apology, some tenderness, even more uncontrollable than when he was a teenager, he was startled, and said softly.
"Uncle, I'm moving back."
Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, remembered a mausoleum guard named Tian Qianqiu from nowhere, tried everything possible to find him, and made him a rich man, and patted the prince on the shoulder and said, "This man is loyal and upright. I can't laugh or cry.A few years ago, Emperor Han was still ill. Although he recovered quickly, he seemed to be a different person later, and made a series of unfathomable wills. Tian Qianqiu's whim was harmless anyway, and everyone was used to it.
And this year, Prince Liu Ju had another happy event. He had another daughter, born of the beloved Li family.The birth of the little princess caused Huo Guang to turn several hairs gray.Without him, the prince Liu Ju was born in the first year of Yuanshuo, and now he has both children, while Huo Guangna's elder brother is almost married, but he is not yet married.When Huo Guang thought of this, his hair was more than white!
Huo Qubing said when he was young: The Xiongnu is not destroyed, why should the family be.
Who would have thought that he was really alone so far.
Some people said that that was the person Huqi could not marry if he had been in love with him all his life.
Legend has it that when the hussars went out to fight, they fell in love with the princess of the Huns...
Legend has it that Hushi was waiting for Princess Wei, and when her hair was almost gray...
Some people also privately said that the hussar was injured on the battlefield, so he didn't want to marry, or he couldn't marry...
Some people even go around saying that Hushi doesn't marry on the surface, there are so many beauties in the house, and there are more confidante friends in the world than his soldiers, it's not that he doesn't want to marry, but he doesn't know who to marry...
Among the divergent opinions, there are quite a lot of eclectic stories, as well as allusions of ghosts and ghosts, which have been passed down in the contemporary era. Huqi himself has always been indifferent. He can't stop the world's mouth, and it's hard for the world to want him.
It was Huo Guang who cared, marriage was still a trivial matter.To some extent, he understood that his elder brother is a real man, and all men put career first. In a sense, his elder brother married his Hussars long ago. For many years, his elder brother and his uncle talked about military affairs every day, busy, That kind of speculation is very happy, far better than ordinary people marrying a wife who can't talk.
But, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest!
This point, Dr. Huo who has always been calm, gets angry when he thinks about it.Brother is such a hero, how can he have no descendants! ? !But Huo Guang couldn't do anything about his elder brother. When he talked about the "Huo" bloodline and his brother's earnestness, he almost burst into tears. Being an elder brother was just a joke, and he even laughed at whether his younger brother was "useless".Huo Guang was so depressed that he had no choice but to make a fuss in his stomach, so Dr. Huo made a solemn promise with his elder brother before he got married that he would adopt his first son to his elder brother in the future!
When this agreement was made, the two brothers happened to be at Wei's house, Mrs. Wei and Huo Guang had the best relationship, and they immediately helped him when they saw him being deflated. I changed my surname to Huo.
Wei Qing was there at the time, and it was very interesting to watch them besiege Huo Qubing.Huo Guang's heart moved again, and he wanted to use the mouth of the general to say "uncle's order". He was thinking about how to say this so that it would be euphemistic and pleasant, but his brother glanced at him with a half-smile.
Hussar himself still didn't care about it, and said in public as if chatting in public: "I should have called Wei Qubing back then."
Everyone was dumbfounded, but the general was unprepared and choked so much that he spit out a mouthful of tea... Forget it, Wei or Huo, isn't Wei and Huo a family?
Huo Guang was worried about his life, he couldn't give up, and decided to wait for his brother to return to Chang'an for another in-depth discussion.Doctor Huo has the perseverance to fight a protracted war!
Huo Qubing and Wei Qing went to the border again, this time not to fight, but to disarm.In the past few years, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has made a big turn in his strategy against Hungary, and officially changed from offensive to defensive since Mayi.In the ten years since Mobei, although the Han and Hungarians have not had any large-scale wars, the two fronts in the northwest of the Han territory have always been in the mode of preparing for war.
Now, the Huns are hiding in the extreme north. If the Han family wants to fight the Huns, they have to go out of the country for more than [-] miles, which is extremely expensive. Similarly, the Huns want to gather more than a large number of troops to harass the Han territory, even if the opponent is nomadic. It is also a great consumption, and the national power of the Xiongnu is far below that of the Han.
Therefore, the emperor of Han made it clear that we should seize this opportunity to recuperate and maintain our national strength. Then, the defense of the border does not require as many soldiers as in an emergency war.How to establish an effective and relatively economical defense system, and how to properly accommodate retired soldiers are the work of Da Sima.
Therefore, Wei Huo had a discussion, and the two split up. Wei Qing went to Beidi to be in charge of He, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang, while Huo Qubing went to Dai County to take charge of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong line.Counting the distance, Huo Qubing ran farther, but in recent years, the most frequent Hun enemy sightings are still in Shuofang. In terms of workload, Wei Qing is naturally busier.
Huo Qubing came back from western Liaoning in a hurry. On the way, he received a letter from Wei Qing, saying that he was coming too, and told him to wait a while. After calculating the distance, they made an appointment to meet at Hedong, so that they could go to Hexi together.
Strictly speaking, Wei Huo is from Hedong, only Huo Qubing grew up in Chang'an, he is like an aborigine, except that Yuanshou took a younger brother away from here in the second year of Yuanshou, this is the second real stay.Wei Qing was another matter. As we all know, this great general of the Han family spent a not-so-remembered childhood in his hometown, and never looked back after leaving.Therefore, even Huo Qubing's soldiers were a little curious this time, chatting privately, wondering how the general would feel when he returned home?
Huo Qubing also heard a few words, but he only smiled. He knew that Wei Qing seemed to be a peaceful person but he was determined. He left, for better or for worse, and it will be the past, and there will be no turning back. Compared with the world that this person saw later, it is really too small, how can it be worth mentioning?
A few days later, Shuang Bi got together, and the two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. They both felt that although the other party was busy in the world, he was still elegant, so he was naturally happy.Yinshan produces fine wood, which is suitable for making bows and arrows. Huo Qubing used to like it the most. This time Wei Qing specially brought some new ones with him.On the spur of the moment, the two chief ministers competed with arrows on the spot, with hundreds of stones and big bows. The generals seldom showed off their personal strength, and the accompanying soldiers were an eye-opener. Only after winning the good wine from Hushi Xinde, he was elated.
Wei Huo didn't want to attract attention, so he walked quietly, and even the local officials didn't disturb them. They are people who can't stay idle. There are also many soldiers who have recently retired and returned to agriculture in Hedong County, so they went to see the livelihood of these people in a low-key manner. .
It is the season of autumn harvest and wheat ripening. This is a good year. Many farmers are working in the fields, and there are singing songs in the middle of the day, which is very cheerful.Wei Huo chose a secluded place, looked at it silently for a while, feeling a little sighed and comforted in his heart, the east river is not far from Chang'an, but Mobei later said that the world will be settled, this place looks more difficult than when he passed by back then Fortunately, the Son of Heaven, Shengming, rested his troops to support the people, and accumulated a few more in such a good year, and regained some vitality. Presumably these people can laugh more happily.
The official affairs went smoothly, the people's livelihood was stable, and Wei Qing was in a good mood. He even took Huo Qubing and the accompanying soldiers to eat a meal of elm money.
After dinner, Wei Qing wanted to go out for a walk again, and the two of them went out without making a sound.According to Wei Qing, he used to herd sheep in this generation. There is a forest not far in front of him, and there are very sweet fruits in it. I want to take Huo Qubing there to have a look. I don’t know if the fruit forest disappeared in the past, or Wei Qing simply remembered it wrong. It was getting dark, but I still couldn't find the place.
So the hussar general suggested that the two of them had been going around in circles. The general firmly believed that he would never get lost, and he showed the majesty of a big man commander, saying that it was the military law of those who disturbed his army's morale, and dragged the hussar general who kept teasing and buried his head. Going forward, darkness is of course not a problem, anyway, both of them are night fighting masters, in the end, the two big Sima detoured a lot of wrong roads, failed to go straight to the fruit forest, only found a lake, vaguely like Jianzhanglu, the two of them also Tired, I sat down by the lake.
When Huo Qubing went to western Liaoning this time, he went out to sea in a stormy boat, and he realized the vastness and boundlessness of the sea.As a generation of famous generals, his vision is also different from others. He only went to sea once, and he felt the difference between water warfare and cavalry warfare. He made gestures with Wei Qing on the wet and soft lake sand on the ground.
Wei Qing had never tried the method of water warfare. In the old days when the great Han sent troops to Dongou, he was only Jianzhang Battalion Supervisor. Later, during the Yuanshou period, he built the Kunming Pool to the south of Linyuan. He was also busy planning the Battle of Mobei.However, the way of soldiers has its own similarities, not to mention the use of soldiers like Wei Huo.
This is a new topic, the two of them instinctively have professional interest, coupled with rare peace of mind, really full of interest, met opponents, unconsciously forgot the time, until the wind blowing by the lake did not realize that it was already late at night.
Yelu wet the skirt of the clothes, the coolness was refreshing, Wei Qing was still lighting the fire, Huo Qubing quietly took off the clothes and put them on his shoulders.Wei Qing smiled slightly, without any excuses, just pulled him to sit by the fire, everyone said that Hussar boy Husui was cold and arrogant and didn't know how to be considerate, but Wei Qing felt that Qu Bing really wanted to treat someone well, as long as he had the heart, he could do it It might be too good to be more considerate than anyone else, but asked Wei Qing to remember something, and said.
"Zimeng wrote me a letter, worrying about you very much..."
As Wei Qing talked to him, Huo Guang was worried. Unlike Huo Qubing, in his mind, Huo Guang always seemed to be a child, and Wei Qing couldn't help laughing every time he saw this child talk to adults.
With the relationship between the two of them, Wei Qing has no reason to persuade Huo Qubing to start a family again, only the adoptive matter, Wei Qing also thinks there is some reason.On a deeper level, Wei Qing has always liked the title of Huo Qubing, the champion, and thinks it is very appropriate. He has a son himself, and Wei Qing feels awkward when he thinks that there will be Changping in the future but no champion.
This is not the first time he said this, Huo Qubing just listened with a smile, anyway, in his ears, Wei Qing's voice was the most gentle and pleasant, and he enjoyed listening to it quietly for a while.Wei Qing talked for a long time, but he just didn't make a sound, he seemed to hear it, but he didn't seem to, he held a grass in his mouth, his eyes blinked from time to time, his pupils flickered, and he seemed to have some new ideas, he looked a little angry and happy, That casual look, in Wei Qing's eyes, is really the same as when he was a teenager.
Huo Qubing didn't respond for a long time, Wei Qing also said that he was tired, the two looked at each other, Huo Qubing suddenly smiled, threw the grass in his mouth, put his hand behind Wei Qing's back, and patted his face gently, taking advantage of Wei Qing's slight Startled, she quickly kissed him on the other side of the cheek.
No one had ever patted his face like this before. Wei Qing was stunned before he realized that this action was familiar. Qu Bing clearly used to do it when he was a child.He was not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Huo Qubing kissed again, whispering in his ear while kissing.
"I wish I could be uncle's uncle, accompanying you since childhood, and raising you up as a dude."
Wei Qing almost thought that he had heard it wrong. Apart from being surprised, he also felt admiration for Huo Qubing's imagination. How could he switch from the topic just now to this topic?Dude general, do whatever he wants?Wei Qing didn't feel like himself when he heard it.If not, then avoid it. In the middle of the night, Wei Qing decided not to talk nonsense with this person. I don't know why, but he still thought about it: I don't want to be a dude, it's better for me to do this kind of thing.
Huo Qubing knew that his face was thin, so he didn't dare to laugh even though it was funny in his heart, he just looked at him earnestly, Wei Qing was dumbfounded by his seriousness, no one knew what the general was thinking, maybe he was too shocked However, Wei Qing was silent, and suddenly stammered out a sentence.
"Just like you raised Xiaoguang, forget it."
Huo Qubing couldn't bear it this time, stretched out his arms to hug him hard, then lay on his shoulder and laughed, he jumped up seriously when he had enough, stretched out his hand to pull Wei Qing, and said in a very simple way while pulling .
"Come home with me, uncle."
After such a disturbance, Wei Qing had a dream that night, in the dream he turned back into the kid herding sheep back then.Only this time, he was not alone. The lamb he usually rode had a heavy dumpling on his back. Wei Qing was leading the sheep and looked at him from time to time.He took the little guy along and said that he was going to see the sea. The little guy happily threw sweet dates on him, cajoling and coaxing him with slurred sweet words, and his voice was very sincere and reliable: "Uncle, uncle, I will return to you in the next life." Come with me, okay?"
Wei Qing fainted from the noise, so he answered "Yes" vaguely.Cough, General Dude... If it's you, you can also discuss it!
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty has a characteristic of his administration in recent years, that is, he will spare no effort to complete everything as long as it is conducive to establishing the prince's prestige.Liu Che ordered the ministers to re-discuss the etiquette of the "adult" princes, especially respecting them, and especially increased the punishment for slandering the prince.He himself took the prince with him to the court, taught him personally, affirmed it from time to time, and ordered the court to report directly to the prince.In the palace, Liu Che visited Empress Wei very regularly every month, and hastily sent all the prince's brothers to the fief, telling them not to return to Chang'an without an edict.In general, Emperor Han is delivering a very clear decision, there is no doubt at all, after a hundred years, he is determined to pass the country to the prince.
However, Liu Che is an open-minded person. Whether he wants to treat people well or badly, he is aggressive and domineering without concealing it. Usually, he is so turbulent that the other party is uncomfortable and even trembling. Especially, this kindness seems to be It came too abruptly.
In Prince Liu Zheng's mind, his father was a great emperor since he was a child. Even if he himself will rule the world one day, Liu Zheng can't imagine that he can be compared with him in any way.As Liu Che's son, this is a huge pressure. Subconsciously, Liu Ju always wants to do something different from his father, so it seems that he has never really gained his father's approval.Now, everything changed overnight. Liu Ju asked himself that he was still the same person as yesterday, and he didn't do anything to change his father's impression. He just felt flattered and unable to speak to anyone.
Liu Che has one advantage. He seems to be moody and unfathomable, but deep down he is a very sincere person. Once he realizes a problem, he will actively try to find a solution.In response to the prince's subtle estrangement, Liu Che himself didn't say anything. He thought about it, and it happened that when Huo Qubing came back from Hexi, the emperor ordered the general Hussars to accompany the prince to inspect the Hussars camp.
Hussar has a very special status in his generation. From Liu Ju to the brothers of the Wei family, almost no one really regards him as a peer.Wei Huo is equally famous, Liu Ju is still learning swords, and the hussars are already vast.Huo Qubing hadn't talked much since he was young, and he always kept his duty as a monarch and minister to the crown prince. Although Liu Ju saw him often, he was not familiar with him, and he couldn't get acquainted with him, but those children of that generation would not selfishly envy them, wishing they could be like Huqi people.
However, it was this unfamiliar person who did something that moved Liu Shi very much. Before the "deer" incident happened, Huo Qubing played in the capacity of Da Sima Hussar General, asking for the emperor's third son to be king.This performance shocked the government and the public. No one thought that the hussars who only knew about military affairs and had never been involved in government affairs would directly interfere with the succession of the emperor's family.
Liu Ju didn't expect it at all, he was still young at that time, and remembering the private conversations between his mother and Princess Pingyang, he lamented that Huo Qubing's face was cold and his heart was hot, but after all, he still missed the friendship with his uncle.It doesn't matter why, Liu Ju was very moved, even if his uncle Wei Qing spoke for him, he would not be so moved, because his uncle always treated him well, but Huqi was almost a stranger, and this stranger, willing to take the risk It was a huge risk, standing on his side between the father and him, and spoke clearly.
However, the two did not get close because of this, Hu Qi is not easy to get close to, and Liu Zheng is not good at win over.For Liu Ju, what moved him even more was a kind of recognition, which was more important than support.Liu Ju is a kind man, and he always remembered this incident. For this reason, Hu Qi was stationed far away for ten years, and he treated Huo Guang very well, not like a monarch and minister, but like a little brother.
With this deep relationship, coupled with the goodwill of both parties, Liu Ju was well respected the day he inspected the hussar camp.The hussar battalion was perhaps the youngest army in the Han army. Although the world is peaceful now, this army has a special spirit, and has always maintained the vitality and wildness that are usually found in the founding army.The military camp is the easiest place to infect people. Even though Liu Ju has a peaceful temperament and doesn't like fighting, he was moved by this unique atmosphere.
Therefore, when Huqi accompanied him to eat alone during the inspection, Liu Ju sighed: "If Dr. Dishan is still there, he should be brought to the Huqi camp to study, and he would not lose his life in vain."
The prince's words are self-deprecating, but there are some origins. Dr. Di Shan is the prince's man, and he is like a half-teacher. Zhang Tang, the official censor, argued that he considered himself "foolishly loyal" and called Zhang Tang "fraudulently loyal".At that time, Wei Huo was stationed in Shuofang, and the emperor of Han was counting on Zhang Tang to implement the policy of "counting money" and other policies to raise funds for the military. He had no interest in this kind of debate. Liu Che's handling was extremely happy. He didn't comment on the right and wrong of the courtiers, but sent Dishan, who was so eloquent that everyone was speechless, to the border to be in charge of Hexi Yizhang. Within a month, the Xiongnu took Di Shan's head.
This matter is a knot in Liu Shi's mind.He brought Di Shan in front of his father, in fact, not to sing a different tune, except for other voices, Liu Ju was more or less trying to prove that he was already an adult with his own thoughts, but the result can only be described as disheartened.
Since then, Liu Ju no longer easily communicated with his father when he had his own ideas, and he is Liu Che's son. Although he has a milder temperament, the pride and stubbornness in his bones are generally the same. Once he forms his own ideas , it is difficult to change.
Huo Qubing, more or less, was able to understand the prince's thoughts, and even his hidden worries that he didn't express.In all fairness, His Majesty has treated the Prince very well since that illness.However, His Majesty's character, when he finds that a talent needs to be reused, he will spare no effort in cultivating it, and personally remove any obstacles for him. However, most of the people who have been supported by him like this will end badly, the so-called killing.
The hussar pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up, kneeled solemnly in front of the prince, and said.
"The minister is dead, and I have a word to play to Your Highness."
Liu Ju was taken aback.In his memory, Hussar was very proud when he was young. Even when he saw his father, if it was nothing serious, he would always stand and salute. His manners were not as cautious and thoughtful as other ministers, but Hussar dared to say and do anything. Father Huang laughed and said many times that General Hussars was not even afraid of him.Such a person is now kneeling in front of him with a big gift.
Liu Ju's first reaction was shock, and he immediately wanted to help him up, but the pride in his father's bloodline he inherited made him sit back on the same spot. For the first time in his life, he clearly realized that he was the king, and This person is a minister.Liu Ju said in a calm voice as much as possible.
"Speaking."
Huo Qubing said: "I'm guilty of death, but your majesty is right about Dr. Di Shan. Your majesty has no second thoughts towards your majesty, a father is kind and his son is filial."
Liu Ju was startled, shocked and moved.The trust between people is a delicate fate.This remark was said by a second person, it really didn't have such weight, maybe it only made Liu Ju more disgusted.However, maybe there is a source of outspokenness in the past, maybe because it was Huqi who spoke, and the world knows that he doesn't bother to tell lies. Perhaps the most important thing is that Liu Ju is not always the child of the past. Regarding the matter of Di Shan, Today, he is more able to let go of his pride and understand the heart of an emperor.
Hexi is the northwestern gateway of the Han Dynasty. The four counties have not been established for a long time, and a large number of Huns surrendered. Therefore, the matter of disarmament is also the most complicated. With the ability of Wei Huo, he has been traveling between Hexi and Chang'an in recent years.
The two great Sima were very busy in Hexi, but someone in Chang'an secretly reported to His Majesty that the Great Sima purchased a large manor in Jiuquan under the guise of official business, raised tens of thousands of horses, killed countless dead, and had evil intentions.
Liu Che looked at it and just took a look.Since his illness, he had a very clear principle that he did not want to do anything that would harm the crown prince. To put it to the extreme, even if the crown prince would really rebel, this time, Liu Che had made up his mind not to bother.As for Wei Huo, the only thing Liu Che couldn't figure out today was that he didn't know if the crown prince had the blessing to have these two mighty generals behind him guarding the frontier for him.The only thing that made Liu Che a little uncomfortable was the talk about the manor, which reminded him of the Tian Dou dispute he had dealt with when he was young.
Therefore, as soon as the crown prince came, Liu Che straightforwardly handed over the matter to him, and made a clear statement of his attitude first, and those who spread rumors would be punished severely.The crown prince got along with him much more naturally in recent years. He glanced at him and smiled, but said that he knew about it.There is a manor, but it is not that big, and there are soldiers in it, but they are all retired soldiers with missing arms and legs. These people have fought for big men all their lives. where to go.
It is also difficult for the big Sima to live without rice. Those who can be arranged into the state institutions have been arranged. The rest can't be helped. The two big Sima bought a manor and arranged for these veterans to retire.Other people's manors are the foundation of rich families, but Da Sima's manor is a loser. With the current scale, it probably loses most of the general's Zhilu every year.
Liu Che froze for a moment, patted his son on the shoulder, laughed loudly, and said, "If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know what to do with food, rice, oil and salt." His words were narrow, but he hadn't laughed so happily for a long time.Liu Che thought this was funny. Compared to Sang Hongyang, Wei Huo was indeed not a good financial manager. However, over the years, whether in Shuofang or Hexi, Wei Huo had always calculated the border military expenses well, and gradually became self-sufficient. Why did he get so confused that he lost money when he arrived at his manor.
After laughing, Liu Che instructed the prince to set up more similar farms in various places to pay for these veterans who had killed enemies for the country.Liu Ju also thought it was true, but the funds were a bit tight. This was the most practical problem. Liu Che waved his sleeves when he heard this, and immediately ordered people to take out all the treasures that had been buried with Maoling in the early years, pointing to the Start with money.
This decision not only changed the color of the prince on the spot, but the officials also felt shocking when they heard about it.However, Liu Che was not moved at all, and even named this institution "Gonggongli". When naming it, the emperor had a little embarrassment that others could not detect.
During the hottest days in Chang'an, Dr. Guanglu Huo Guang took a rustic young doctor to the General's Mansion in a hurry. Dr. Huo, who has always been prudent, took such strides this time that he almost went to help the doctor himself when he got off the car. Lifting the very heavy medicine bag made the little doctor a little nervous, and followed closely behind.
The General's Mansion was very quiet in the afternoon, the trees in the courtyard had grown very tall, covering the sun with thick shade, it seemed cooler than the outside.
General Wei has three sons, who are now divided into government offices. Right now, two are in Shuofang, and one is in Liaodong. They are beyond reach and cannot go home to serve the sick. The Han family values filial piety, and their wives are willing to do filial piety on their behalf. It's just General Hussars I am also very filial to this uncle, and came here first after hearing the news. Hushi is in his prime and unmarried, so he is different from his cousin's family members. It is not very convenient.
The dormitory has a high ceiling, few furniture, and very bright light. There are two people in casual clothes in front of the couch. One is cloaked and half leaning on the couch, and the other is sitting beside him. His face is in the shadows, and only a pair of eyes can be seen. Black and deep, it is naturally the famous double wall of the Han Dynasty.The doctor didn't dare to take a closer look, and hastily lowered his head. His eyes were lowered but he was stunned. It turned out that the patient was not resting in bed, and the two were playing chess.
The doctor was young, bold and curious. He didn't go to see the patient immediately. Instead, he sneaked a peek at the chess game while saluting.The chess game has reached the middle stage, black and white disputes are fierce, but no one can gain the upper hand. Just took a look and was fascinated.
Huo Guang thought he was rude, so he coughed, but the general didn't care, pointing at the chessboard and smiling.
"What are you looking at?"
The general's voice was very gentle, and the doctor boldly replied seriously: "Well, this chess was actually played by one person. This person's chess skills are very high, but he is just upset..."
Before he finished speaking, the hussar general who had been silent all this time glanced at him. On a hot day, the doctor was so cold from head to toe that he watched him, and immediately fell silent, but the general laughed, praised him for his unique vision, and asked him again What is the name, why don't you join the army?
It is said that the general is lenient and easy-going, but the little doctor was quite touched. He said that he is from the north, his surname is Chen, and he really wants to serve the country. , the general seems to be in good spirits, his body is thin, his face is a little swollen during illness, and his complexion is slightly yellow, but the lines reveal the peace and open-mindedness after years of refinement, his eyes are still bright and young, it can be seen that he used to attack at night Gao Que's demeanor.
The rest of the treatment was simple and smooth. The doctor is best at typhoid fever, which is why the Huo brothers came all the way to pick him up. The young doctor said with absolute certainty that the general was just too tired a few days ago, not For typhoid fever, a few injections and three doses of medicine will definitely heal.In this way, everyone is happy.
When the doctor took the needle and was about to prick the general, he accidentally saw that the stern and majestic Hussar General suddenly turned his head away.The young doctor thought cheerfully, hey, why do people always say that they have a bad relationship?
When the outsider left, Wei Qing looked at the game of chess and couldn't help feeling itchy, and wanted to invite Huo Qubing to a fight. Huo Qubing originally didn't want him to be bothered by his illness, so he played left and right to relieve his boredom. Of course he refused, and only agreed to play again. Show him a game.The two played chess for a while, and then talked about the young doctor who had a good vision and courage, but unfortunately he was too weak to join the army, otherwise he would be a good candidate for a general.
After spending half the afternoon in this way, Wei Qing said that he was too bored to lie down all day, this time Huo Qubing didn't make a fuss, and accompanied him to the yard for a walk.When the doctor was there, Wei Qing also saw Huo Qubing's unbearable gesture, and when he thought about it, he made fun of him. Huo Qubing pretended not to hear, and changed the subject to take him to see the horse.
Wei Qing loves horses, and has seen countless good horses, but probably in order to set an example and maintain the simple atmosphere in the army, the general never bought himself a decent horse in his life.When Huo Qubing was young, he couldn't see him, so he was given to him several times, and Wei Qing either sold or gave it to others. Even today, Huo Qubing himself rides an ordinary Hexi native horse.
Of the several horses in the stables, two are the oldest and the most distinguished. A white horse accompanied the Han general through Mobei. When it saw Wei Huo, it looked like an old friend, and it had its own style. Proud, when Wei Qing is in good health, but he has free time, he always washes for him himself.The other black horse belonged to Huo Qubing. The Huns called him a "devil" because he was so handsome. When a child heard its hoofbeats, he didn't dare to cry. Unfortunately, he accidentally drank poisonous water in Mobei and fell ill after that.After the war, Huo Qubing fostered it with Wei Qing. Wei Qing was good at raising horses, and he cured it again. When Huo Qubing went to Shuofang alone, Wei Qing came to see his horse when he was free.
After watching the horse, the two went around to look at the grapes.The grapes from the Grand General's Mansion belong to a famous family and were bequeathed by Zhang Qian.Wei Qing never made friends with ministers, Huo Qubing's style is similar to him, Zhang Qian is an exception, it is rare that they are friends in common.
In the second year of Yuanshuo, Wei Qing defeated King Baiyang and King Loufan, and regained Heshuo.The next year, benefiting from this great victory, Zhang Qian, who was detained by the Huns, fled in the chaos and finally returned to Chang'an after a thirteen-year absence.At that time, Liu Che, the talented emperor of the Han Dynasty, had already set his sights on Hexi, often intentionally or unintentionally encouraging Zhang Qian, who was familiar with the terrain of Hexi, to make more friends with Wei Huo.Zhang Qian is a witness who has personally witnessed the big man from weakness to strength, and understands the truth of having no country and no family. Therefore, although he is not a soldier, he and Wei Huo get along very well.
Although this friendship is worthy of the name "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water", it is rare to stand the test.In the second year of Yuanshou, Zhang Qian and Li Guang's troops cooperated with Hushi and Gongsun Ao to go to Hexi. Unfortunately, in the four-way army, Zhang Qian lost his time, Gongsun Ao got lost, and Li Guang was outnumbered. He almost turned the tide of the battle on his own and won the Hexi Corridor for the big man.For this matter, the emperor of Han took Zhang Qian's title and deposed him as a commoner.
At that time, this disposition caused a lot of criticism.First of all, strictly speaking, Zhang Qian was originally a diplomatic talent, not a military commander. In a sense, the emperor took advantage of his shortcomings this time.Secondly, this person was sent as an envoy for the great man, and he went through many hardships. His aspirations remained unchanged, and he opened up the Western Regions.On a deeper level, people didn't dare to explain it, but they all vaguely felt that the emperor of Han's severe punishment of Zhang Qian and the other three tribes was actually a side effect for the young hussar general, and it was very difficult for the hussar general to be his ally.
The world is discussing a lot, but no one knows that after the Hexi War, the hussars went to Zhang Qian's mansion in person. When the two met, they both apologized to each other frankly first. Take full responsibility.The so-called gentleman is magnanimous, and the villain is always sad. This has been the case throughout the ages.
So after this incident, the friendship between the three became better, and Wei Huo would often gather under the grape trellis to listen to Zhang Qian's stories about the Western Regions.Unfortunately, this scene was only a flash in the pan. In the third year of Yuanshou, Wei Huo was still planning the battle of Mobei.Zhang Daxing was high-spirited and very proud, and said: The Han envoy who can protect the two banners of Wei and Huo at the same time, he is No.1!
Even four years after Yuanshou was peaceful, Wei Huo went to Shuofang again, Zhang Qian was still in Wusun country at that time, and Wei Huo came back today, the old man has been in the loess for many years, fortunately, the vines are still there.
Huo Qubing looked at the green vines. Zhang Daxing was older than Wei Qing. He had suffered too much in his early years, and his health was not good, but his spirit was always enthusiastic and lively, full of the heart of a child. Mo Dao is always younger than his uncle, and he often laughs at himself as a young and mature man. With him around, there are endless fresh ideas.When I went to Shuofang alone, I also received a letter from him from thousands of miles away, not a single word about the "deer", only saying that the general is very lonely now, but fortunately he found a lot of delicious food from various countries in the Western Regions, and he is going to ask someone Give it to the general, and you have your own share... Such a person full of vitality has been gone for so many years.
Wei Qing often said to him that the great man can have today's peace because of the hard work of one generation, no, even several generations. However, not everyone can live to witness this moment. Wei Qing, his brother, was unable to bring Zhang Qian and Su Jian back to life. Fortunately, the most important people were still by his side.
Huo Qubing couldn't help but look at Wei Qing. Today's Wei Qing is not what he used to be. Huo Qubing carefully looked at the lines in the corners of his eyes, and there was a trace of trance-like tenderness. He had seen the sharp eyes of the boy pressing the sword. The heroic spirit of the young general, and the calmness and wisdom of the Han general who was used to Yue Zhiyuan were all like yesterday. This was the first time Huo Qubing discovered that Wei Qing was really getting old.This time it was not because of fatigue, but because of the marks left by the years, and it was deeper. Perhaps today's big man has finally stepped on a smooth road that makes people feel at ease, so Wei Qing will grow old with peace of mind.At this moment, Huo Qubing felt something inexplicable in his heart, which kept coming up, some joy, some fear, some apology, some tenderness, even more uncontrollable than when he was a teenager, he was startled, and said softly.
"Uncle, I'm moving back."
