Everyone loves Huo Qubing

In summer, when the sun is at its peak, the emperor drives to Ganquan Palace to escape the heat.I was arrested many times in previous years, and this year I can finally be a member of the guards and ride northward with everyone in the sunlight.

However, there is never a shortage of seats for the emperor's seat.

When Young Master Sima followed His Majesty out of the imperial chariot, there was a suspicious blush on his cheekbones.Official Sima Lang in the past, with an inexperienced appearance, could tease him into embarrassment and anger with just a few words; I haven't seen him for half a year, but today's Sima Shizhong has become more handsome and tough, and his eyebrows and eyes are more mature. .He raised his head and glanced at Chen Yan, who was behind Princess Wei to greet her, then quickly lowered his head, clenched the saber in his hand, and quickened his pace to catch up with the emperor.

It seems that this guy really cares about my sister.It's a pity that there are many rich officials and officials in Maoling City, and Chen Zhan's hot-tempered baby daughter may not be able to take a liking to the soft and deceitful temperament of Taishi Ling's eldest son.

When hunting, everyone seemed to be a little absent-minded.Prime Minister Xue Ze sent news from the capital express that the golden crown prince Yu Dan who had been ostentatious all day was suddenly murdered a few days ago and died unexpectedly.The murderer was arrested on the spot, and it turned out to be an assassin sent by Yi Zhixie Shanyu.

"This Yi Zhixie is so ruthless! In order to cut grass and roots, he actually chased me all the way to the capital of the big man." He shot again and startled a doe away, the emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to make up your mind and declare war." The uncle suggested cautiously, "Earlier, because Yi Zhixie was angry with Shan Jianghan, he sent nearly [-] troops to provoke us in the three counties of Yanmen; now the prince of the Xiongnu died in our In the territory of the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid that Yi Zhixie will use this as an excuse to unify the various tribes of the Xiongnu under the banner of avenging the crown prince, and form a great threat to the army and people in the northern border of the Han Dynasty."

"Uncle Zi, why am I not so anxious? I can't sleep well in this Oasis Palace." The emperor frowned, and put away his bow and arrow, "However, the Huns can fight if they want to, and wait for Zhongqing to come back from the north. I will discuss it carefully with the generals."

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the Jianzhang camp in the north of Ganquan Palace.

Weeping came from inside the tent.

Opening the curtain, Pudu, the little prince of the Huns, was trying to cover himself completely under the quilt, but unfortunately, his body was too long, and a section of calf was exposed on the other side of the quilt, and his pair of slightly cracked bare feet.

"You go to eat first, I'll just watch over here." I gestured to Yang Pu who was at a loss.

The big boy gradually stopped sobbing, revealing two jet-black eyeballs filled with water vapor from under the quilt, with some teardrops on the thick and slender eyelashes.

"Why are you? Where's the soldier?" He rolled his eyes and looked around.

"He can't see the man crying, so he left early." I teased.

"Who's crying? I'm just recalling those carefree times when I was a child, and I feel a little emotional." Pu Duo wiped his face carelessly, smiling through his tears.

Seeing that his mood improved, I finally couldn't hold back my curiosity: "Then who is the prince Yu Dan?"

"My cousin." Pu Duo sniffed.

After a brief stunned moment, I rubbed his exposed head.This guy who was beaten up by Mr. Zhaoping's minions in private was really a member of the royal court of the Huns.

"my condolences."

The wrist was suddenly grabbed, and in the next second, the other party lifted the quilt with lightning speed and pulled me into his arms.

The feeling of being tightly bound by the military mattress is very bad, not to mention that I didn't realize until this time that the young man under the cage actually had sex.

"Qubing, let me hug you, okay? I'm very sad now, and I need your comfort." The little prince Puduo had an aggrieved expression on his face, staring at me pitifully, but kneading his fingers restlessly. .

"Fix it yourself." I stretched out five fingers, pressed the face that came to kiss me back on the couch, and quickly got out.

***

From winter to spring, the snow melts and the sun shines brightly.

"...In ancient times, those who used soldiers did not profit from the vastness of the soil, but were greedy for gold and jade. They will continue to survive and die, and they will quell the chaos of the world and eliminate the harm of the people. Therefore, the use of soldiers by the sages is also like a stalk of seedlings. Those who go away are few, but those who benefit are many. Killing innocent people and raising a righteous king, there is no greater harm; squandering the wealth of the world, but ignoring the desires of one person, there is no deep disaster..."

General Zhang Cigong, Antou Hou, was eloquent on the stage. I sat cross-legged, with the familiar "Strategy of War" spread out in front of me. further away.

In Shanglin Garden, there are mountains and plains, and the flags are rustling.The Han cavalry from the Jianzhang camp were organized into the Xiaoqi camp, and followed the infantry battalion into the square outside the Jianzhang Palace, waiting in line.

After careful consideration, the Han army decided to stop the truce and take the initiative to attack, and today is a simulated exercise for sending troops.This is the first time for me to participate in the military exercise of the Qimen Army. In the past, I always sat on the high platform as a spectator. Today, as a member of the cavalry, I stand on this vast square with all the soldiers. The sweat and toil of hard training can come in handy on this day.

"The Han army will surely win!" shouted a general in front of the formation. He was wearing silver armor and a helmet, with a long sword pointing directly at the sky. He was Uncle Su Jiansu, the commander of the Han barracks.

"We must win! We must win!" The infantry, cavalry, and chariot soldiers of the Han army burst out in order at the same time. bow.

"Are you nervous?" Pu Duo turned his horse's head and rubbed against me.It was very windy today, and the sound of the wind overshadowed his words, and his words could only be recognized by the shape of his mouth.

"You're nervous." I made faces at him.But to be honest, in addition to the anticipation and excitement of the exercise, as a Han Qi, I will be more or less uneasy about how I will perform next.

Hu Qiying on the opposite side was still as silent as before, only the horses chirping and neighing could be heard.Across the gap between the camp gates, the figure of General Zhao Xin loomed.He gripped the reins tightly, held the scimitar in his hand, and kept walking back and forth in front of the Hu soldiers, as if he was explaining the last matter.

Looking up at Jianzhang Palace, where the emperor has already taken his seat; the commander stands on the palace in a peacock blue armor, and the golden bear talisman in his hand shines brightly in the sunlight.

All of a sudden, the gates of the Huqi camp on the opposite side were already wide open. General Zhao gave an order, and the light armored cavalry took the lead, and the Hufu cavalry came in the rear, rushing towards the Han barracks like a tide.

As soon as the talisman comes out.The three rows of strong crossbow infantry standing in front of the Han cavalry formation, cooperated with the shield soldiers to take turns to fire crossbow bolts like rain.

"This is a double-bolt parallel-firing crossbow newly configured by the infantry battalion. It is suitable for flat shooting." A row of shining silver crossbow bolts, "24 crossbow bolts can be loaded in the bullet slot at a time, loaded and carried away, use this to shoot the horse legs and belly of the opponent's light armored cavalry, forcing the opponent to fall passively and become infantry. Hun cavalry We are not good at hand-to-hand combat on the ground, and infantry happens to be the advantage of our Han army, so our Han army can use our own strengths to attack others' weaknesses."

The second talisman comes out.I only heard a swishing sound, and the infantry and chariot soldiers behind me quickly pulled out their arrows from their quiver to take their bows, but instead of aiming at them, they all pointed at the sky, shooting out arcs, and the arrows rained one after another. Fall to the opposite Hu Bing camp.

"Precise strike? That's the task of your cavalry. On the battlefield, infantry archers pay attention to speed and range, so the infantry in the rear row use air-to-air projectiles." Uncle Su held a charcoal pencil, and while drawing a schematic diagram, he introduced, "Infantry is densely packed. The rain of arrows can not only provide good cover for your cavalry charge, but also effectively deal with the unarmored cavalry in the back row of the Huns."

The arrows rained for a while, and in a blink of an eye, the enemy's cavalry rushed to the front like locusts.

Looking up, the blue silhouette on the Jianzhang Palace stage was holding up the golden talisman in his hand.

The call may sound at any time!My heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably, and the hot feeling suddenly climbed from my lower abdomen to my back. I held my breath and clenched the bow and arrow in my hand.

There are three festivals.

"Kill!" I clamped my horse's belly, and rushed out following the soldiers and horses of the Xiaoqi camp.

Even if it was just an exercise, the atmosphere of bloody fighting was very real.When I was a little further away, I could still string my bow and silently count the enemies I shot. When thousands of troops reached a distance of several feet in front of me, I could only quickly draw my sword and fight with my sword.I remember that when I was a child, I would dream of being looked down upon by a tall enemy, and being cut down by a ring-headed knife; but today, raising the long sword in my hand, I suddenly realized that I was as tall as the enemy on the back of a horse, and I was on an equal footing.

It was only at this moment that I realized that I had really grown up.

The iron sword collided with the ring knife, and the sound of clanging was endless. At this moment, I couldn't take my eyes off the weapon wielded by the opponent at all. I could only distinguish whether it was an enemy or a friend based on the opponent's uniform that I glanced at from the corner of my eye. The skills he was familiar with during training instinctively blocked the advance, and he didn't have any time and mood to care about the name of the person who was fighting.

Because, once distracted, it is death.

"Huo Qubing."

Suddenly someone called my name in the chaos.

My heart tightened suddenly, and when I looked up again, I saw the other party's sly and complacent smirk.In the next second, the leather arrow in Mr. Zhaoping's hand had left the string and flew towards the center of the eyebrow with a "bang".

Oops, I thought.

Stretching out his hand to touch his forehead, it really hurts, even being shot by a leather arrow hurts so much, if this is a real arrow, wouldn't it be piercing?Despite the constant scolding in my heart, I still consciously squeezed the blood bag, jumped off the horse, found a safe cover, and lay down to pretend to be the corpse.

But soon I had to sit up again.

"It's despicable and shameless to shoot your own people in public revenge!" Pu Duo cursed, turned his horse's head and rushed to Zhaoping Jun who was about to run away.

My heart couldn't help jumping into my throat.

"Don't go! Pudu, hurry back to me!" My desperate call was quickly buried by the sound of gold and iron horses.

In the vortex, a familiar figure galloped towards him on horseback, and with one knife cut the Zhaoping Jun who had shot in the back from his horse.

"Fight well, don't mess yourself up." Zhao Puonu, who was dressed in light armor, stood upright in the cold wind, facing the sun with a scimitar in his hand, reflecting a dazzling light.

"Master Huo, wake up!"

It seems that someone is calling me.

"Huo Qubing."

"Here!" When I opened my eyes suddenly, I found that I was still in Zhang Cigong's class. Yang Pu, who was sitting next to me, was pointing at the content on the bamboo slips, while tugging at my sleeve.

"Please express your thoughts on the passage I just read." General Zhang ordered.

My mind was still on the military exercise a few days ago. In fact, I didn’t hear what Zhang Cigong read just now, but I was stared at by General Zhang with sharp eyes, and I couldn’t see which passage Yang Pu was referring to. , had no choice but to rely on the memory of the past, bite the bullet and speak.

"The "Binglue" written by Huainan Bagong is mostly directly excerpted by scholars on Sun Wu's military art, rather than the unique insights put forward by the warriors themselves. Therefore, it is mostly clichéd, and sometimes taken out of context. For example, Hanzhong is such a large place. But there is not only one Hanzhong in the Central Plains; the big Han is such a piece of territory, but there is not only one big Han in the world. According to my subordinates, I blindly guard the land and suppress the people, passively exploit the people, and do not open up the borders and emigrate people, and actively obtain resources , which is the so-called "sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat". Now the Xiongnu is occupying land everywhere, annexing other countries, and constantly growing. It’s a matter of sitting and eating.”

On one side of me I danced and gestured, while on the other side General Zhang's face turned blue and green.

"Then tell me, if you don't study "Strategy", what should you study?"

I thought for a while, and stretched out four fingers: "Just learn the art of war of the four generals."

"Who?"

The Marquis of Wu'an who broke Zhao, the Marquis of Huaiyin who broke Qi, the loyal Lord of Jiuyuan, and the Marquis of Changping of Shuofang.I counted silently in my heart.

"Inwardly, Bai Qi and Han Xin, and externally, Meng Tian and Wei—"

A familiar but unfamiliar name came to his lips, but he stopped suddenly.Unable to hide my pounding heartbeat, I casually changed my report to another former famous general who fought against the Hungarians: "Li Mu."

"Huo Qubing, please sit down." Zhang Cigong closed the letter and waved at me helplessly, "This is the end of today's class."

"General Zhang doesn't like others to say that the King of Huainan is wrong. That kid surnamed Huo dares to contradict him face to face, thinking he is an onion?"

"Keep your voice down, he is a popular person in front of you today, his aunt is Queen Wei, and his uncle is General Wei; even Princess Longli's son Zhaoping Jun offended him and was mercilessly expelled from the army. "

"What are you afraid of? It's just an illegitimate child who speaks loudly. Baiqi Hanxin, Li Mumengtian, and Li Mumengtian don't have military books handed down from generation to generation. Where can they learn? Are you digging the general's grave?"

"Yeah, so good at fighting, let him learn from Zhao Kuo and write his own military books."

A few guys in silver armor were chatting happily in front, and Yang servant who was following me was clenching his fists and rattling.

"These people are too much!"

"Don't get excited, they are right, I will definitely write a military book when I have time."

When I passed by those guys from the Xiaoqi Camp, I turned around and smiled at them.

***

After finally making it to the three-day long holiday before the sacrifice, I hurried home.It was cold spring in February, and the cold wind hit my face. The excitement of seeing my uncle and the sadness of being separated were intertwined. I took off my armor and shivered on the galloping horse.

The gate of Changping Hou Mansion was ajar, and a palace-style carriage was parked at the gate.The license plate slowly turned towards me in the bitter cold wind, revealing three neat square scribes.

"Emperor Doctor Order".

I rushed into the gate of the mansion, and a maid with a water basin hurried towards me, and I stopped her.

"Where's my uncle?" I asked anxiously.

"Inner courtyard." The maid angrily pushed me away, shaking the water stains on the skirt.
