[Han Wu Huo Wei] Yuan hunting seven years

Shuofang was very windy in winter, Wei Qing didn't bring anyone with him, he went out alone for half a day, he looked a little tired when he came back, Huo Qubing cared about him the most, instinctively felt that something was wrong, Wei Qing smiled and said it was all right, Su Jian and Zhao Puonu also had dinner When they came, Wei Qing was doing as usual, even chatting and joking with them after dinner.Having said that, after people left, Huo Qubing couldn't help asking a few more questions, this time he persevered to annoy Wei Qing, leaving him to rest early.

Huo Qubing couldn't sleep, he was lying on the couch alone, he put a military book in front of his eyes, but he couldn't read a single word, until the next day, he suddenly got up and strode towards Wei Qing's bedroom.

Unsurprisingly, Wei Qing did not sleep. Huo Qubing had a sharp nose, and when he entered the room, he could smell a faint smell of alcohol. The winter in Shuofang is bitterly cold, and people have to drink strong alcohol to keep out the cold. This is a common thing, but this is in Wei Qing But really rare.

Wei Qing was not surprised when he saw him. He poured himself another glass and waved as usual.

"Come and drink with uncle."

Seeing this scene, Huo Qubing knew what was going on, he walked up to him as he said, but suddenly reached out and pressed Wei Qing's cup lightly on the wrist, before Wei Qing could frown, he suddenly smiled brightly, and moved his forehead with ease, Naturally, he put a sticker on Wei Qing's forehead, and said softly in a low voice.

"Uncle is sick."

This series of movements was very fast, Wei Qing was caught off guard, and was already made laugh by him for a moment, and suddenly lost all momentum.

Speaking of which, Wei Qing's tone of voice and gestures were used by Wei Qing to coax him to take medicine in his early years, and he didn't want to teach Huo Qubing a vivid example now.

This little act of intimacy temporarily evokes countless warm memories in the hearts of the two of them, and no one mentions the previous bad feelings.

Huo Qubing was a little worried at first, so he tested the temperature and was half relieved, knowing that Wei Qing probably just caught a cold, and he would be fine if he sweated.He was alone in the dormitory before, feeling empty and uncomfortable in his heart, but now he seemed to have found something.He dragged Wei Qing to lie down on the couch first, then turned on the fire in the room, and went out quickly, thinking that Wei Qing might not be full at night, so he asked his servants to make him soup, and then went out again. I brought a basin of hot water myself before going back.

Wei Qingyuan had something on his mind and wanted to be alone, as long as he watched Huo Qubing's battle, he knew that Qubing was also uncomfortable, so he let him torment.

Huo Qubing recalled the details of how Wei Qing took care of him in the past, washed his hands and face with hot water, and then smiled and urged him to drink a bowl of hot soup with a lot of pepper in it. Sure enough, his complexion improved a lot.

He did all this with his own hands, and he felt much more comfortable in his heart. He only felt that if he could meet someone, he would try his best to treat him well all the time, and this person was really worth it. It is a blessing to treat each other.

Everything was done, but Huo Qubing was still not at ease, so Wei Qing patted the couch beside him, and the two of them lay down casually, neither of them felt sleepy, chatting without saying a word, only Huo Qubing didn't ask what Wei Qing was doing alone, Wei Qing didn't ask him what exactly he wanted to promise?

In the end, Huo Qubing thought of a very safe topic, the grapes from his uncle's house.

The grapes were brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions. That year, Bowang Hou returned to Chang’an after a long absence of more than ten years. The emperor of Han was surprised to see the former handsome young man become what he is today. Thinking of his difficult career in these years, he felt emotional for a while. Extremely, can't help crying.The emperor rewards meritorious service, and the officials look after the wind. Since Zhang Qian's return, there has been a new custom in Chang'an. Among the nobles, it is most expensive to use utensils from the Western Regions, tell stories about the Western Regions, and taste fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions.

These customs have never been associated with Wei Qing. He took Huo Qubing to visit Zhang Qian, more to inquire about the topography and landforms. It may be that he has visited many times. Wei Qing also has an extra grape vine in his house, because it is a precious fruit from the Western Regions. , the general will occasionally take care of it himself.

Huo Qubing is very supportive of Wei Qing's little hobby. He has always felt that Wei Qing has been devoting all his energy to the war and is too tired. There should be a place to relax. Therefore, no matter how sour the grapes planted by the general, Huo Qubing will always be generous. He mentioned grapes when he had nothing to do, and finally Wei Qing mistook him for eating, and gradually became really interested.Today, Huo Qubing knew that as long as he said the word "grape" to this person, Wei Qing would be able to talk endlessly by himself, and he was very happy.

This time, it was no exception.Huo Qubing occasionally responded with a few words. Most of the time, he half-closed his eyes and listened to Wei Qingan's steady voice very comfortably.For some reason, he remembered what happened a few years ago. It seemed that when he went back to Chang'an in Hexi during World War II, he thought about Wei Qing so much all the way, he left Huo Guang who had just been picked up at the Hussar's Mansion, and ran to Wei Qing's house by himself, to be quiet with him Sitting side by side under the fruitful grape trellis.

Wei Qing was sharpening a small wooden sword at that time, it was naturally for Ji'er to learn how to sword, and he sharpened it very well.He had a lot of things he wanted to say to Wei Qing that day, but he saw that he had something on his mind, so he couldn't bear to say it all of a sudden, so he just gossiped and joked. To use a wooden sword, he had never played with wood when he was a child.Wei Qing looked at him helplessly and proudly at that time, as if to say, everyone can't be like you. Afterwards, Huo Qubing couldn't remember what he said, only remembering that Wei Qing was talking and frowning. Slowly loosen, it's so beautiful...

Huo Qubing hadn't made a sound for a long time, Wei Qing gradually lowered his voice very slowly, and finally stopped, he turned his head slightly to look, and Qubing really fell asleep, as if he had a good dream, brow There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but he fell asleep, even though he was smiling, he couldn't hide his nostalgia.

Strange to say, when mentioning grapes, Wei Qing also thought of Qubing's return from Hexi that year.That day when he entered the palace, his sister told him a lot of evidence, and after talking for a long time, he finally said goodbye and came back. Suddenly, Qu Bing came.Seeing him, Wei Qing felt in a good mood, so he purposely picked a handful of the most sour grapes for him. He must have been exhausted from the trip to the sickness. He also chatted with himself like today, and he actually just sat there and leaned on the table. He fell asleep with his shoulders on his shoulder... Then, within two days, he urged him to cross the river to receive surrender...

Perhaps intending to apologize to Wei Qing, Huo Qubing suddenly invited him to see a newly established official horse garden.Wei Qing likes horses. He spent most of his life with Huo Qubing, and the other half with horses. However, if you count the years when the two fought each other, the horses stayed with him longer.Now, Huo Qubing wanted to accompany him to see the horses, so he naturally did what he wanted.

In the Battle of Mobei, both the Han and the Hungarians paid a great price. Because of the plague, the horses of the Han army were damaged seven to eight times. Even the horses that Huo Qubing gave Wei Qing before the war were buried in the grassland, which is tragic.

Fortunately, this battle enabled the Han Dynasty to consolidate the large grasslands at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and the Hexi Corridor. These lands with rich water and grass are suitable for farming and herding. It is a long-term strategy to set up official stables where horses are raised.

On this day, both walls came together, responsible for the ups and downs of the official horse garden.When Wei Qing encountered a serious business, he was very concerned. He personally went around and was very satisfied. The horses here are well-raised, and the horses are fat, strong, and shiny.

Huo Qubing saw it, and signaled others to find the long history in charge of the horse garden. According to his experience, Wei Qing had seen the horses, and he would definitely ask questions about the feed and other issues.

The long history came soon, and when he saw Shuangbi, he kowtowed on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. It turned out that he was a Hun.This is considered common practice in the army, among other things, Jin Riju, who raised horses for the emperor of Han, was also Prince Xiutu.

I don't know if Chang Shi moved here from Hexi, he was obviously very afraid of hussars, he didn't dare to look directly at him, and even though he was good at raising horses, he couldn't speak Chinese fluently, and seeing Shuangbi suddenly, he was so nervous Drenched in cold sweat, he answered several questions upside down.

At this point, Wei Qing's affinity was shown. He casually pulled the long history, smiled, and said a few words in Hun language calmly, extremely fluently.

After a few words, Chang Shiwan did not expect that the great general of the Han family could be so amiable, not only able to speak the Hun language, but also able to know the price of grain like a treasure, so he couldn't help but admire him. After calming down, he spoke Chinese again, the more he spoke, the more fluent he was, and he revealed all the secrets of raising horses.

With just these few words, the whole atmosphere was mobilized with ease, not only Chang Shi alone, but other soldiers, whether they were soldiers from the Han army or the Huns, could not help but squeeze towards Wei Qing, each with a childish face. Mu.

Seeing this scene, Huo Qubing couldn't help laughing when he thought about how everyone dared not make a wrong step every time he made his rounds.He can roughly match Wei Qing in almost everything, but he is far behind in the Xiongnu language. He can hear it very well, but he only speaks it. The weird pronunciation even gives him a headache.So he just listened in silence and didn't interrupt.

He has always admired Wei Qing's style of asking questions, he doesn't care what the other party said, he only analyzes why he said it this way, the great generals in the past were like gods in defeating the enemy, and it is the same in small talk today.Only compared to back then, Wei Qing speaks less now, but more wisely.This reminded him of a comment made by Emperor Han, the general never said a word from his heart, his own mind was clear, and others couldn't hide anything from him.

Thinking of these words, Huo Qubing's eyes suddenly became sad.He saw that Wei Qing was teaching everyone to look at horses again, and the people around him, even Su Jian, were full of trust and support.

He sighed slightly in his heart, for so many years, the Han army would naturally go to the general to make decisions about anything, as if he had forgotten that the general is also a human being.Wei Qing does everything by himself, and it is not good if he does it. Others may rely on him or find fault with him...

This person is like this, he is too strong, so strong that if he doesn't tell, no one will know that he will be tired and sick,

Just relax a little in front of yourself,

It's no wonder that he has taken on too many burdens and has to be tough.

He has known this man all his life,

Seeing that he is so strong that he seems to be able to bear more for the world every day,

But people have limits...

At that moment,

Huo Qubing understood that it was time for him to make a decision.

In the clear and calm, there is a kind of pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow,

In fact, he always knew it, but he was reluctant, and always wanted to take a few last glances,

At that last moment, he couldn't let this person see it.

I'm gone, he still has a long way to go, don't bother him anymore,

Can't see, feel better,

So, don't give away...

Another afternoon, when Huo Qubing came back from his patrol, he didn't see Wei Qing. His servants reported that the general had gone to the shooting range to watch the soldiers shoot arrows.Huo Qubing rode his horse to the shooting range to pick up the people, but when he passed, the people left early.

Huo Qubing hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the east of the city. For some reason today, he really wanted to see Wei Qing.Shuofang City was built according to the terrain, with the highest point of the city to the east. When the weather is fine, you can look at the Yellow River and the Yinshan Mountains in the north.After Huo Qubing came here, he also liked to come here alone when he had nothing to do.

The sun was rare on this day, the snow on the ground was thick, and there was no one around, but Huo Qubing soon discovered that there was a long row of footprints on the ground.He looked at the row of footprints, his heart moved, he got off the horse involuntarily, he carefully followed the row of footprints and walked forward slowly, only following the footprints of that person, he felt a little joy in his heart.

Sure enough, Wei Qing was standing alone on the southeast high ground. To Huo Qubing's surprise, he was still holding a bow in his hand, and was practicing the movement of drawing an arrow by himself. This is a basic movement, but Wei Qing did it beautifully. His His hands are very steady, and it is impossible to tell that his left arm was newly injured half a year ago. His figure is even more stable, as motionless as a mountain. The moment he shoots an arrow, his brows tremble slightly. The setting sun shines on him, as if for his back It was plated with a layer of gold, so brilliant that Huo Qubing was a little dazzled.

Huo Qubing stopped and just looked at him silently. A few years ago, this person stood behind him and taught him archery hand in hand. In fact, what else did he not teach?

Time seemed to have stopped for a moment, but Huo Qubing's horse didn't understand why the master was so silent all of a sudden, so he hissed softly. Wei Qing turned around when he heard the sound, and the moment he saw Huo Qubing, his solemn eyebrows softened. This time, Huo Qubing But he staggered his gaze, only looking at the bow and arrow in his hand.

"Uncle is very interested."

Wei Qing didn't answer, he held the bow with one hand and drew a half arc to the left, said.

"Quill, you see."

Huo Qubing looked in the direction his longbow was pointing at. Directly ahead, also to the north, the Yellow River could be seen in the distance. It was severe winter now, and many places on the river were covered with ice. In the distance was the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.Ten years ago, Wei Qing was in this area, defeating various tribes of the Huns one after another.

And farther away, on the north side of Yin Mountain, out of sight of the two of them, was Langjuxu Mountain, where Huo Qubing had offered sacrifices to heaven a few years ago.

And the northwest is Hexi... Wei Qing's eyes stopped in that direction, he looked for a long time, and suddenly said a little abruptly.

"When Qubing was in Hexi, I didn't even look there. I ate when I needed to, and slept when I needed to. When the good news came, your aunt was so scared that she cried."

Wei Qing was stunned, as if he saw thousands of arrows raining down under Heli Mountain from that extreme point of view, he paused, then smiled, and said quietly: "Now that I think about it, how can I be so relieved."

Huo Qubing only smiled faintly. At that time, he always felt that Wei Qing was by his side. He was like this when he was most proud, and he was also like this when he was most lonely and helpless.At that time, he was full of enthusiasm, and he wanted to invite Wei Qing to go to Hexi with him.At that time, he had a lot to say to this person.Unfortunately, it is no longer possible.

In the end, he didn't say anything, just pointed to the road ahead.

"Uncle burned the Yellow River floating bridge here."

When the Yellow River pontoon bridge was broken, it cut off the reinforcements of the Huns and Youxian Kings on the other side of the river, but it also cut off the retreat of the Han army.

Huo Qubing remembered very clearly that when Wei Qing broke the Yellow River pontoon bridge to Chang'an, the government and the public were shocked. Some people said that the young chariot general said only one sentence: He crossed the Yellow River and had no plan to go back.

The two stood side by side, this is the land he recovered and the place he guarded.A kind of pride still arises, without a word, he understands it, and he understands it.On this issue, they have a lifelong tacit understanding.

After a long time, Wei Qing turned to look at him and smiled.

"Qubing, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. I will go to the foot of the Yin Mountain with you to have a look..."

He was interrupted by Huo Qubing before he finished speaking, the young man spoke very abruptly as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"Is uncle shooting arrows just now? I'll try too."

Wei Qing looked at him, smiled silently, and handed the bow and arrow to Huo Qubing.Huo Qubing didn't realize it, he took it and pulled it, looked around, still pointing at a tree a hundred steps away.

"Let it be."

He didn't wait for Wei Qing's reply, he bent his bow and set an arrow, Wei Qing looked at him, suddenly frowned and said softly: "Qu Bing..." He yelled unluckily, just at the moment he uttered the sound, the arrow flew away Going out, I don't know if it was affected by this, but Huo Qubing's arrow missed.

It was very ominous that the famous general missed the target, both of them were taken aback, Huo Qubing forced a smile, and laughed at himself: "Call uncle a joke..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Qing suddenly took half a step forward and stood beside him, holding his arms firmly with both hands from behind, and said softly.

"Certainly."

Huo Qubing closed his eyes, but the dizziness in his head became more and more intense, since he couldn't help following Wei Qing's footprints just now, it was more violent than the way he came to Shuofang, he just gritted his teeth and endured it, this disease is like this, Maybe in the next moment, the whole person will turn into flying ash and disperse, or maybe this painful dizziness will suddenly disappear.Even so, the warm embrace of the person behind him was still unbelievably clear in his confused thoughts, Wei Qing's hand was still steady, without a trace of panic, he was so close that Huo Qubing could hear his heartbeat, without any confusion, It's only getting slower and slower, and there's an indescribable desolation, like the hands that hold me, are also getting colder, as if I can't warm up anymore...

At that moment, Huo Qubing was full of affection, mixed with ecstasy and sorrow, unable to restrain himself anymore,

He dropped his bow, turned around and hugged Wei Qing fiercely.

I want to strangle this person into flesh and blood,

For this person, he has too many emotions in his heart, family, country, and world, with one heart and one dream.

All his life he was arrogant, never afraid of anything,

Even watching his brilliant life gradually disappear, he was so proud that he didn't show any emotion.

But at this moment, I was scared and powerless,

No one knows better than him how strong this man is in his bones.

As the commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing couldn't stand a life-and-death struggle,

However, their relationship is too close,

We have been together for more than 20 years, sharing weal and woe, pouring into each other and gaining all our affection,

Got everything in one person,

The world is won by one person,

Once lost, it will be a disaster...

The sun was setting, Huo Qubing let go of Wei Qing, the dizziness had passed, the young man's face was mixed with joy and sorrow, he had always been hard-hearted, and he gave all his tenderness and patience to that one person.He looked deeply at Wei Qing, his eyes were extremely complicated, with nostalgia and strange indifference and alienation, for a while, he said in a voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

"The general promised to allow me, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, so go back to Chang'an..."
