Shanglinyuan, hunting?
Upon hearing this, Huo Guang, who was about to walk out of the camp, stepped back.
This is Linyuan.
It was originally established during the Qin Dynasty, and in the early Han Dynasty, it was used for farming by the people for economic reasons. Then in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shanglin Garden was not only restored to its original state, but even expanded to an area of more than 300 square kilometers, becoming the most magnificent royal palace in the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang thought of this and asked, "How did the general know that Your Majesty wanted me to go hunting in Shanglinyuan with you? Did you send a letter?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask was about the cavalry's three-piece suit.
But the problem is that this matter was reported secretly behind his uncle's back. It doesn't feel right to ask my uncle directly in person.
then.
I can only ask circumstantially.
General Wei Qing nodded and said: "There is a letter, otherwise, why would I take you to Shanglin Garden for hunting for no reason!"
Huo Guang rubbed his nose and asked nonchalantly: "General, did your Majesty ask me how the cavalry is doing, or give me a new set of cavalry equipment?"
"New cavalry equipment? What are you talking about!" Wei Qing glanced at Huo Guang in confusion, took out a slip from the desk on the side, handed it to Huo Guang, and said, "If you want to see your Majesty, come here Just read the letter yourself, it’s not a secret anyway!”
I saw my uncle handing him all the letters from His Majesty.
Huo Guang didn't hesitate and directly took His Majesty's letter and read it.
Then!
Huo Guang looked shocked!
The letters written by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were not made of paper, but still used slips.
But that's not the point.
The point is.
In the letter, there was no reply at all about the cavalry three-piece suit. In other words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not mention these three things at all: high bridge saddles, horseshoes, and stirrups.
These three things, if produced in this era, can completely rewrite the fate of the country!
without any exaggeration.
With this three-piece suit for cavalry, the Han Dynasty's army no longer feared the Huns' cavalry.
certainly.
The premise is that these three-piece sets were not sold to the Huns by those merchants, just like the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were clearly ahead, but they could not stop the merchants from selling the firearms to the enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
Businessmen only pursue profits and don't think too much.
Don't talk about this.
Huo Guang was reading His Majesty's letter, while General Wei Qing was staring at Huo Guang. Seeing his surprised look, he immediately asked: "Why do you look so surprised?"
After hearing this, Huo Guang swallowed his saliva and said, "No, I was thinking, your majesty is going to hold a hunting event in Shanglin Garden, why did you tell the general to take me with you?"
Wei Qing frowned and said, "I'm also very curious, but I guess your majesty may be afraid that if I leave you in the military camp, you might cause some trouble!"
"Is that the reason?" Huo Guang frowned and couldn't help but secretly complain.
I am in a military camp, what kind of trouble can I get into?
Ah.
Wei Qing waved to Huo Guang and said, "Okay, you go and get ready. We will set off to Shanglin Garden later."
"This hunt."
"Your Majesty said it was to mobilize all the generals before the war."
"Logically speaking, a uncle like you should not be qualified to participate in hunting activities. I don't know why His Majesty called you this time."
"But you have to remember that you should not cause trouble when you go to Shanglin Garden with me to participate in hunting activities."
"If you meet someone from the Li family, even if they say something, don't say anything back, just let them say it."
When Huo Guang first came to Chang'an, General Wei Qing probably didn't understand Huo Guang's temperament, so he just let him make trouble!
But now the general is clear.
The two brothers of the Huo family are both troublemakers, and they both have the character of retribution.
People from the Li family.
Born to be arrogant, Li Guang always liked to say something sarcastic when he met Wei Qing. Huo Qubing was very angry about this.
Fortunately, after becoming a general, Li Guang did not dare to offend again.
But those juniors of the Li family haha.
They didn't learn Li Guang's martial arts, but they learned Li Guang's arrogance.
This is also the reason why the younger generations of the Li family and the Wei family always have conflicts. This phenomenon existed before Huo Guang came to Chang'an.
Upon hearing the general's words, Huo Guang immediately raised his hands and said, "I understand, general!"
Then he left the slips behind and left the camp directly.
Because I had to leave the military camp, I accompanied my uncle to Shanglin Garden to meet His Majesty and participate in hunting activities.
so.
Huo Guang first told his subordinate Lin Yaoqing about his departure and asked him to train the recruit No. 100.
In the past two days, I had contact with Lin Yaoqing.
Huo Guang already knew that this guy was a veteran who had participated in the Battle of Hexi.
The scar on his face is the glorious record left in the last battle.
For such a veteran, it is more than enough for him to manage the number 100 recruits as a uncle. If it weren't for his airborne landing, his position as Duber must have belonged to someone else.
"Yao Qing, I have to go out with the general to help me train these new recruits. Don't worry, I will never take away your credit in the future." Huo Guang patted Lin Yaoqing's shoulder.
Lin Yaoqing said: "What are you talking about, Uncle Huo Dub? Don't worry, my subordinates will take care of these recruits."
"Um."
Huo Guang nodded, and then led his horse to join his uncle Wei Qing and other generals.
After everyone mounted their horses.
Then they left the camp together and galloped towards Shanglin Garden.
Shanglinyuan is very big.
It spans Chang'an, Huyi, Xianyang, Zhouzhi, Lantian and other places. In such a big place, if you don't know where His Majesty is, you may not be able to find anyone.
so.
Huo Guang, Wei Qing and others had to go to the East China Sea Mountain to wait.
As for the Donghai Sacred Mountain, it is actually just an artificial mountain in Shanglin Garden. Because the soil is excavated and piled up from the Taiye Pond, you can just wait here beside the Taiye Pond.
When Huo Guang and Wei Qing arrived at Taiye Pond.
Those who were invited to participate in this hunt arrived early.
The scale of this hunting activity is unprecedented.
Not only the generals who were about to go on an expedition, but also relatives related to the royal family came, including the concubines, princes, princesses, etc. of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
As we all know!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very greedy for beauty, so he had many harems.
Huo Guang didn't recognize those ladies, and Huo Guang couldn't recognize all the princes and princesses, but he still recognized a few figures.
in.
Like Queen Wei Zifu and his four children - Princess Wei Chang, Princess Shiyi, and Princess Zhuyi.
and Prince Liu Zhi.
All the family members are here.
What Huo Guang didn't know was that Mrs. Li, who had not yet interacted with each other, also came with several of their brothers.
For example, Li Ji and Li Yannian both came together.
certainly.
Standing in front of these two people, alongside Mrs. Li, was naturally the eldest brother of their Li family, the not-yet-famous Li Guangli.
Who is Li Guangli?
In the future, the general of the Second Division who was going to trick the prince and prepare to seize territory from the Huns and establish himself as king was defeated and surrendered by the Huns!
certainly.
None of this matters.
The important thing is that people from Beidaying are also coming.
The leader, of course, was Huo Qubing, the cavalry general. He came with many of his generals. As soon as he approached Taiye Pond, he was noticed by the crowd.
Queen Wei's three princesses saw Huo Qubing's cousin coming from a distance, and they all talked excitedly.
"Look, it's cousin Qu Bing!"
"Ah, my cousin's eyes are so handsome and lively."
"Hey, why didn't my cousin come to play with us? Instead, he went to talk to the man next to him?"
"That man, is he?"
"That Huo Guang!"
Well, that’s right, it’s Huo Guang!
When General Hussar arrived at Taiye Pond, he saw the generals from South Camp at first sight, so he came over to find them.
In addition to talking to the general's uncle, he mainly came to see Huo Guang. He knew that Huo Guang had already been sent to his uncle by His Majesty.
because of this.
It was also his idea at the beginning, but it was slightly different from the original request.
After Huo Qubing arrived at Nanda Camp, he first greeted Wei Qing: "Uncle!"
"Um."
This is not a military camp, so Wei Qing didn't mind when Huo Qubing called him uncle.
After the two had a brief exchange.
Huo Qubing just looked at Huo Guang and asked, "Huo Guang, are you still getting used to being in uncle's military camp?"
"It's okay to adapt, but I don't have much freedom!" Huo Guang said bluntly.
The words fell.
Huo Qubing touched Huo Guang's head and said, "My brother, please don't say such things. Those who join the army are basically giving up their freedom. If you want to be free, the one hundred cavalry under your command must also be free. How can you lead them?" ?”
"Huh? Brother knows that I am now Uncle Du?" Huo Guang asked curiously.
At this moment.
Huo Qubing smiled calmly and said: "Of course, I asked for this for you. Why didn't I know? Even your deputy Lin Yaoqing also arranged it for my brother."
Hear these words.
Huo Guang was dumbfounded. He originally thought that all this was arranged by General Wei Qing.
did not expect.
It was all my brother's idea.
All right!
I see.
No wonder that guy Lin Yaoqing said that he had participated in the Battle of Hexi. You must know that the Battle of Hexi was fought by his champion brother. The surviving veterans should follow his brother in Beida Camp.
Why did you come to Nandaying?
certainly.
You can't blame your brother for this. After all, all these arrangements are out of your own protection.
So Huo Guang could only cup his hands and say: "Thank you, brother!"
Huo Qubing laughed, punched Huo Guang gently, and said, "Thank you, we are brothers, let's not talk about this!"
"Yes, brother!" Huo Guang nodded and replied.
At this time, a person came and said: "Huo Yilang, General Hussar, General, Your Majesty asked me to take you there."
Huo Guang heard this.
Turning his head, he looked at the visitor and said in surprise: "Is it you?"
When the visitor saw Huo Guang's surprised look, he immediately asked doubtfully, "Does Huo Yilang recognize me?"
Hearing the other person's question, Huo Guang was confused again. He looked at the person carefully, then shook his head and said, "Oh, it's not you!"
One comes and one goes.
Instead, he confused the other person and asked: "What does Huo Yilang mean? One moment it's me, the next moment it's not me? Then who should I be?"
Huo Guang coughed lightly, and then said calmly: "No, no, my good friend's name is Zhang Anshi, and he is the son of Zhang Tang, the imperial censor. I took you to be him."
"I just observed it carefully again and realized that I had made a mistake."
"You are taller than my good friend, but there are still some differences in appearance. The most important thing is that you don't have that aura of nobility."
"Nobility?" The visitor scratched his head and then smiled: "What Huo Yilang said turned out to be my younger brother. The imperial censor is my father. My name is Zhang He. Congratulations!"
Zhang He?
Huo Guang suddenly frowned, no wonder he admitted his mistake, it turned out to be Zhang Anshi's brother.
but.
Since they are both Zhang Tang's children, why can Huo Guang feel a sense of nobility in Zhang Anshi but not in Zhang He?
Even vaguely feel that the other party looks bad?
strangeness!
"It turns out he is Zhang Anshi's brother. Please forgive me. I blame my lack of eyesight for recognizing the wrong person." Huo Guang smiled and cupped his hand.
Zhang He didn't say much and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, everyone, please come with me, His Majesty wants to see you."
"good."
Huo Guang nodded, and together with General Hussar and General Wei Qing, led by Zhang He, they came to the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was.
at this time.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was wearing armor, riding a specially equipped horse, and was galloping.
See Huo Guang and others coming.
Then he got off the horse and took off the black armor on his body. He first looked at the two generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, smiled faintly, and asked: "How are the training of the South Camp and the Beida Camp? When can we send troops to Mobei?"
Your Majesty has spoken.
Huo Qubing, a hussar general, immediately stood up and said confidently: "Your Majesty, the Beida camp is ready and can march to Mobei at any time!"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he burst out laughing and said: "Okay, he is indeed my most promising general. With your words, I feel relieved."
The words fell.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che turned to look at Wei Qing and said, "General, how is your South Camp?"
As a general, Wei Qing immediately held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it may take some time. The foundation of those new recruits is too poor. If they no longer practice, even if they arrive in Mobei, they will just give heads to the Huns cavalry. That’s it!”
Upon hearing this.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately became unhappy.
As emperors, how many of them are not happy with their achievements?
Even though the Ming God of War has no military ability, doesn't he still want to march north to deal with Wala?
Just a pity.
He has no ability, he just lost the face of his ancestors.
Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stubborn in his later years, he still had some abilities at the moment. Seeing Wei Qing talking like this, he did not get angry and just said lightly: "It's not the general's fault. The South Camp recruited troops much later than the Beida Camp. The training It’s naturally late, it will take some time.”
"alright."
"The reason why I asked you to come here today is not to talk to you about military training."
"But I'm going to show you something good."
After saying that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved to Jin Rixi, who was next to him, and asked him to bring over the horse he had just ridden.
only.
When Jin Rixi passed by Huo Qubing, the Cavalry General, he became obviously nervous.
Don't know why.
However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not pay attention to this. Instead, he pointed at the strange equipment on the horse and said, "Come and take a look at the new harness on my war horse. What do you think?"
The hussar general immediately stepped forward and observed the harness on the horses.
After a rough observation!
He asked with some curiosity: "Your Majesty, these harnesses are very strange. The general has never seen them before. I wonder what they are used for?"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "General Hussar, let your brother explain this!"
"Brother? Your Majesty means, Huo Guang?"
