Huo Guang was confused for a moment by his brother's question. Does this mean he was invited to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
But the decisive battle in Mobei!
What does it have to do with Huo Guang?
He is only thirteen years old!
Next year, he will only be fourteen years old and will not be crowned. How can he go to the battlefield at such a young age?
To put it bluntly.
Even Brother Champion did not follow his uncle Wei Qing into the battlefield until he was seventeen.
Is it too much to go to the battlefield at the age of fourteen?
Think of this.
Huo Guangdang said to Huo Qubing: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to go to the battlefield and kill the Huns with you. But the problem is that I am only thirteen. If the army sets out next year, I will only be fourteen. How can I go to the battlefield at such an age? do what?"
However.
Huo Qubing said, "You don't have to take action. You just need to follow me and see the cruelty on the battlefield."
"After this battle."
"There may not be battles to fight in the future. Huo Guang, you have to understand that the Han Dynasty has always made marquises based on military merit!"
When Huo Guang heard this, he couldn't help but take a second look at the champion.
What does brother mean by this? Why did you suddenly mention the title of Marquis?
Inadvertently.
From the corner of his eye, Huo Guang suddenly spotted Li Gan, the Marquis of Guan Nei, standing behind Huo Qubing, and suddenly figured out what his brother meant.
This is to gain military merit for oneself!
The champion Hou Huo Qubing is already a Hou of Ten Thousand Households, and his status is extremely noble. Therefore, after this battle, no matter how much contribution he made, the court could not reward him with a higher title.
after all!
His surname is not Liu, but Huo.
Western Han Dynasty.
There was only one other surname named King, and it was during the founding period of the People's Republic of China.
so.
The title of the Champion Marquis cannot be improved.
But this does not prevent him from rewarding others with his overflowing credit?
For example, make Huo Guang a marquis!
You look like General Wei Qing.
His military exploits also overflowed, and he was rewarded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to his three sons.
The eldest is Yichun Hou Wei and his wife, the second is Yin'an Hou Wei Bu Sui, and the third is Fa Qian Hou Wei Deng!
The meaning behind Brother Champion’s words.
It seems to be saying that he wants to find a marquis for himself.
It's not impossible.
A guy like Li Gan could get the title of Marquis of Guannei after he followed Huo Qu's illness. As the champion's younger brother, Huo Guang is also favored by His Majesty.
If he comes back with the army this time, it is not impossible for His Majesty to grant Huo Guang the title of marquis.
after all.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted too many titles.
There were so many feudal lords for two hundred households that later on, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had too many lordships, found a way to find a reason to remove more than half of the lords who had been granted the title on a whim.
in.
The three brothers of the Wei family were prominently among them.
no way.
A prince of two hundred households, it is an honor to grant you a title, and you deserve to be punished. He is an insignificant person, so no one would gossip.
Think of this.
Huo Guang lost interest in the matter of becoming a marquis, and said calmly: "Brother's kindness is appreciated by me. But now on the battlefield, I can only become a burden to my brother, and I am not willing to be like this."
"My elder brother is a hussar general and a champion lord."
"It's my brother's pride."
"But as the brother of a champion, he is not as bright as that ignorant person. If there is a chance, I should be knighted based on my own ability, and I don't want to be greedy for my brother's credit!"
"Looking at my brother Haihan."
What's the saying?
Call!
What you say is better than what you sing!
Chinese language is essentially an art. If I directly reject my brother's invitation, it will not only appear to be disrespectful to him and cause discord between the brothers, but also
Appear cowardly.
But now it’s such a righteous speech.
That's different.
The elder brother is a champion and the pride of his Huo family. But as the younger brother, Huo Guang also has his own arrogance.
Never covet the military exploits achieved by your brother.
pity.
When he said this, Li Gan, who was standing behind the Cavalry General, changed his expression on the spot.
Although his military achievements are not small.
But Huo Qubing was awarded the title thanks to his contribution.
If Li Gan's military exploits were enough to be granted a title, why would he only grant a title of Marquis of Guannei with 200 households?
Two hundred households, what do you mean?
For example, the three brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Wei, who have never been on the battlefield and have not made any significant achievements, can be crowned knights in their infancy just by relying on the military merits of General Wei Qing.
This type has two hundred households.
This is the case with Li Gan.
so.
His title is undeserved.
So after hearing Huo Guang's words that were not meant to ridicule him, he immediately said angrily: "General, if Huo Yilang is unwilling to accompany the army, then this horse must not be allowed to ride away."
"Such a fine war horse."
"Even if you die, you should die on the battlefield between my big man and the Huns' cavalry."
Li Gan's words were aggressive.
But upon hearing this, Huo Qubing was quite displeased, and immediately scolded him: "General, I make my own decisions. Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Li Gan immediately clasped his fists and said, "I won't dare!"
"snort!"
Huo Qubing snorted lightly.
Then!
He then said to Huo Guang: "You don't need to return to being a brother immediately. You can stay in the military camp tonight and talk to your brother tomorrow."
Huo Guang didn't say anything, so he nodded and made a slight noise in his throat.
At night.
Huo Guang led Dahei and after feeding him, he walked around the military camp.
He didn't care if there would be no war after the Battle of Mobei.
Because he knows!
Although the Han Dynasty called it a decisive battle, in fact, the Huns were not wiped out.
Above Mobei, what a vast area.
The army of the Han Dynasty wanted to completely eliminate them, which was simply a fool's errand.
After the Battle of Mobei, within fifteen years, there will be a new round of war. Moreover, at that time, the two imperial twins of Wei and Huo will no longer exist. The Han Dynasty's war against the Xiongnu will basically return to its original form. .
You can't win, you can't win at all!
By that time.
It is not too late for Huo Guang to achieve military success, so Huo Guang is not worried about not being able to be knighted.
After all, I'm still young now.
What Huo Guang was really worried about was his brother's affairs, and Dahei was the second most worried.
According to official historical records such as "Historical Records", the champion died of a sudden illness.
But some wild history.
It's about the decisive battle in Mobei. The Huns noticed Huo Qubing's tactics and spread poison and plague in the rivers of Mobei.
Huo Qubing became seriously ill after drinking the water there.
Finally, all his energy was slowly exhausted, and he died.
Although Huo Guang believes more in official historical records, unofficial records may not be impossible.
If he followed his brother in this battle, he would have a chance to avoid such things. But if he didn't follow the march, he would be happy, but it would undoubtedly put his brother in an extra layer of danger.
This is the reason why Huo Guang is currently struggling.
I was thinking about these things in my mind.
Sun Ying came over with food, patted Huo Guang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Huo Guang, what are you thinking about? Why didn't you notice that I came to you, sister-in-law?"
Hear Sun Ying speak.
Huo Guang came back to his senses and said quickly: "Ah, it's my sister-in-law, I'm sorry.
, I was thinking about something just now and didn't notice you walking over. "
Sun Ying immediately rolled her eyes at Huo Guang and said, "You treat me like an outsider. If you don't pay attention, you don't pay attention. How can I be sorry?"
Huo Guang felt embarrassed, waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, my sister-in-law treats me like a family member, so how can I treat my sister-in-law as an outsider?"
Sun Ying immediately chuckled and said, "Look how scared you are, haha. I won't tease you anymore. Come, drink some soup and keep yourself warm!"
Huo Guang immediately said: "No, sister-in-law, I drank the stuff I brought so far to replenish my brother's health. What a big deal!"
However, Sun Ying said: "Your brother has already drank a big bowl and can't drink any more. If I keep this soup until tomorrow, I'm afraid it will go bad again. The broth is not good for staying overnight. If you don't drink it, you can only Waste, throw it away.”
See this.
Huo Guang could only accept the broth handed over by Sun Ying and start drinking it.
At this time, Sun Ying asked: "How is your sister-in-law's craftsmanship?"
Huo Guang had just touched the bowl to his mouth. When he heard Sun Ying ask this question, he immediately said: "It tastes good!"
However.
Sun Ying suddenly laughed out loud.
Huo Guang was puzzled and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"
Sun Ying then said: "You didn't even touch the bowl to your mouth just now, and you drank so well. Why, you still have the ability to predict the future."
A prophet?
That's not the case.
However, Huo Guang had read some history in his previous life, so he knew some of the future developments.
Therefore, it can be regarded as a prophet!
Just hearing Sun Ying say this, Huo Guang suddenly remembered what had just happened in his mind and said immediately: "Sister-in-law, can you trust my brother?"
"What do you mean by saying this to your sister-in-law?" Sun Ying looked at Huo Guang doubtfully, a little confused.
Huo Guang continued: "In my hometown, I once met an immortal master who could see people's faces and predict good omens in the future. He could also see the sky and know where disasters were heading."
"He saw that I was smart, so he taught me some skills."
"Just now, I used those skills to take a look at my brother's face. He is a man of great destiny."
"But among the nobles!"
"Another trace of filthiness appears, and it seems that there is a flood!"
As the general's wife of Huo Qubing, Sun Ying naturally cared about her husband.
What kind of disaster is Huo Guang talking about?
When Sun Ying heard this, he was stunned and immediately said: "What kind of flood and rice disaster? What does this mean? Huo Guang, don't scare my sister-in-law?"
Huo Guang naturally didn't want to really scare Sun Ying.
after all.
Still pregnant.
If something happens to me because of the fright, I'm afraid my brother won't punish me, and my conscience will feel bad.
Immediately.
Huo Guang then said: "Sister-in-law, don't panic. In this vision, believers don't doubt it, and doubters don't believe it. If you believe it, there are ways to avoid this disaster. If you don't believe it, then there is no need to worry about it."
Sun Ying was a little anxious at this time and said: "Then it would be better if you didn't say no. Now that you have said it, you still don't doubt the person who wrote to me. Please tell me quickly, how can you help your husband avoid this disaster? After all, he is your brother."
See this.
Huo Guang immediately said: "Ahem, sister-in-law, this disaster is naturally caused by water and food."
"What is water, such as cold water, water in rivers in the wild, etc. It is not drinkable."
"As for food, such as sick sheep, sick animals, and food of unknown origin, you cannot eat it randomly."
"Brother's filthy air is floating outside his forehead. I don't think it's caused by water and rice disasters in this country. It would most likely happen in places like Mobei, where he consumes cold water or eats food from the Huns."
At first.
Sun Ying didn't quite believe it yet, but after listening to it, she already believed it!
even.
He also said very seriously: "Mobei? Yes
, That’s right, Huo Guang, your brother’s way of fighting is to eat whatever he fights, and he never brings supplies with him. "
"What about this battle in Mobei? He can't go!"
"If we go, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"no!"
"I have to persuade my husband to give up this expedition."
give up?
I wipe it!
It is His Majesty's will to fight.
Not to mention that Huo Qubing would not give up his fighting qualifications, even if he wanted to, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che would not agree.
Thus.
Isn’t this self-defeating behavior of my own?
Immediately!
Huo Guang grabbed his sister-in-law and said to her: "Sister-in-law, why are you so anxious? Didn't I tell you that this so-called water-rice disaster can be avoided?"
"one more."
"Brother has never liked things related to the six lines of divination, nor does he believe in them."
"Sister-in-law, don't you understand his temper?"
"Even if it means death."
"Brother will not give up this battle either."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ying was so anxious that she almost burst into tears and asked, "Then tell me what to do. Don't scare my sister-in-law!"
Huo Guang then said, "Sister-in-law, listen to me. Just tell your brother this way."
"You said that the water from the Huns is cold and cold, so it is not easy to give birth to a son after eating it."
"You should eat less livestock in Mobei, otherwise even the children you give birth to will be stupid."
Before Huo Guang finished speaking, Sun Ying interrupted: "You want me to use the child to blackmail my husband? How can this be done? I won't do it!"
Seeing my sister-in-law like this.
Huo Guang immediately spoke to persuade him, "Sister-in-law, you are not threatening your child. I am telling the truth."
"The land of Mobei is cold, and the water is negative. Drinking too much will harm the body, and it will not be easy to give birth to a son. The livestock there drink too much of this water, and people are eating the livestock. Isn't it the same reason?"
"otherwise."
"Sister-in-law, tell me, how come the Huns have so few people and such a large land, but they have several times fewer heirs than us Han Dynasty people!"
Sun Ying was just a Han Dynasty woman who didn't know anything about astronomy or geography.
How can we sort out the truth and falsehood on this question given by Huo Guang.
then.
Half-heartedly, half-heartedly, he believed Huo Guang's lies.
After some mental struggle, Sun Ying said to Huo Guang: "Then drink the broth quickly. I will talk to my husband later."
"As long as my sister-in-law believes it, remember not to tell your brother that I was the one who suggested it. Otherwise, I'm afraid my brother won't take it seriously and just ignore my sister-in-law's advice!" Huo Guang said while devouring the broth.
Not a moment later.
The extra broth was eaten by Huo Guang as if he was swallowing a jujube.
after.
He handed the bowl back to his sister-in-law, said some polite words, and then took Dahei for a walk around the area twice to help with digestion.
At night in Han Dynasty, the sky is full of stars.
It's a pity that no one accompanied Huo Guang to enjoy this beautiful night scene.
then.
Not long after, Huo Guang tied Dahei's reins and went to sleep.
I didn't sleep well last night, so I was woken up by my sister-in-law.
Naturally, I slept very soundly tonight.
pity.
He still didn't sleep well in the morning, so he was woken up by his brother Huo Qubing, saying that the two brothers hadn't practiced the Six Arts together for a long time. He happened to be in the military camp now and had all the tools, so he asked Huo Guang to practice with him.
When practicing the Six Arts.
Huo Guang saw that his brother's face was not very good, as if he had a temper.
So he asked, "Brother, why do you look so angry? What's going on?"
It’s okay not to ask.
Just ask.
Then they saw Huo Qu, the distinguished cavalry general, suffering from the disease.
He cursed loudly: "What else could it be, other than that I was made angry by your sister-in-law!"
"I don't know which bastard alchemist I heard nonsense from."
"He actually asked me not to use the same method of fighting the Huns in the past, and even said that the water in Mobei was not drinkable."
"Can you drink this water?"
"I don't know yet!"
