Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stood next to the sand table. After listening to all the traps Huo Guang laid for Li Guang, he suddenly asked in confusion: "I want to know, how can you be so sure that General Li will definitely fall into your trap?"
Regarding the sudden question from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang frowned slightly for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, this actually comes from my understanding of General Li Guang."
"Old General Li Guang is an excellent archer, but he is arrogant and often looks down upon others despite his achievements."
"This was the case with my uncle, General Wei Qing."
"What's more, as a fourteen-year-old boy like me, I will naturally not be taken seriously by General Li Guang."
These words are enough for ordinary people to deal with the matter.
But who were Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and others?
What a great man who forcibly more than doubled the territory of the Han Dynasty!
It extends to the central region of Yue in the south, Goguryeo in the north, and Dawan in the west. The territory is much larger than when the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms.
The person who can accomplish this achievement must be an outstanding individual.
That kind of people.
How could he be frightened by Huo Guang's few words? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was silent at this time, but looked at Huo Guang with a half-smile expression on his face!
To this.
Huo Guang could only sigh and said: "Okay, to be honest, although I have the above understanding of General Li Guang, I can't guarantee whether he will fall into a trap."
"This operation!"
"To be honest, I just want to take a step first and see. If Li Guang falls into the trap I set for him, then catch him. If he doesn't, then I will find another way to deal with him."
"After all, I have always believed in a word, so I should stop being disturbed by it!"
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded slightly.
Then he asked the sand table: "How did you come up with this thing? Use soil to pile up a map of the nearby mountains, and use the colors of the flags to distinguish the two armies."
Regarding this question, Huo Guang came up with a way to answer it since he started working on the sand table.
Immediately.
Huo Guang then said: "Your Majesty, this thing is called a sand table. I came up with it when I was thinking about something on the mountainside."
"Actually, at the beginning, I just pinched some mountain scenery for fun."
"But while I was playing with it, I suddenly thought, wouldn't it be more vivid to use this kind of thing to paint the terrain? So I started to make this thing. After I made this thing, I found that this kind of sand table can be used as a war simulation. It couldn’t be more appropriate.”
Huo Guang muttered a lot.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on the side felt a headache when he heard it. He immediately changed the subject and asked: "I see, oh, what is the black powder on your table?"
When Huo Guang saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che pointing at the black gunpowder, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, be careful, these are extremely dangerous items."
Extremely dangerous items?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't believe what he said.
A ball of black powder, what's so dangerous about it?
Think of this!
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, said: "Huo Guang, don't you think that I am easily deceived?"
"Is this black powder nothing more than toner?"
"It's still dangerous!"
"What's so dangerous about this."
Seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not believe it, Huo Guang immediately took an empty paper tube and began to fill it with black powder in front of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Wait until loading is complete.
He sealed the two sides with something like earth, attached a lead, and after lighting it, Huo Guang threw it out.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, startling everyone, including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
previously.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said that this gunpowder could be dangerous, but now he dare not say it.
only.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still said a little harshly: "The sound is quite loud, but it seems not powerful. There is only sound, no harm."
Just an explosion, no harm?
Huo Guang was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, if you want real lethality, it's too simple. Take some iron sand and put it into this firecracker. After lighting it, throw it at the enemy's dense area. After the explosion, the iron sand will scatter everywhere. Then The damage is as outrageous as it is!"
iron sand?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned slightly. According to what Huo Guang said, he looked sideways and thought for a while.
really.
If iron sand is added to that "firecracker", the explosives might really do a lot of damage!
so.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded immediately and said: "If it can really be effective on the battlefield, I will decide to mass-produce things like you!"
However.
Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to produce something with such little power?"
Something with little power?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was puzzled and thought that it was not you who said that throwing this thing into the crowd would have a miraculous effect!
Why is it suddenly said to be a Xiaowei thing?
then.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expression changed and he snorted: "Huo Guang, if you have something to say and don't say it directly, I will punish you!"
Huo Guang immediately chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
"Don't be impatient. I'll tell you slowly."
"Putting this iron sand into a firecracker is effective in killing enemies, but it's not very powerful."
"Comparison."
"I have come up with a real weapon to kill the enemy, which is to make this firecracker out of iron sheets. The hollow space in the middle can be filled with gunpowder. There is no need to fill it with any iron sand."
"When it explodes, with the power of gunpowder, the iron shell will explode and the person will be killed!"
"It's more powerful than filling it with iron sand!"
Following Huo Guang's thinking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che once again imagined a grenade made of iron sheets. A smile appeared on his face and said: "Paper firecrackers are so powerful. The firecrackers made of iron sheets are not as powerful as blowing up the sky." Come out of a hole?"
"Okay, okay."
"When this red-blue confrontation exercise is over, I will ask the blacksmiths to produce this kind of thing."
Hear the words of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
After being complimented, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was even more happy and burst into laughter. At this moment, Li Guang's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Huo Guang, son, come out here!"
"Three hundred troops and horses, just replace my three thousand cavalry. What kind of bullshit red-blue confrontation drill is this?"
"I think this is your personal hysteria!"
The voice of old General Li Guang was very distinctive and he was shouting loudly outside. Both Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Huo Guang recognized his voice.
Huo Guang frowned immediately.
But because Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was by his side, it was difficult to say anything.
only.
The soldiers outside came in and reported: "Coach, General Li Guang is outside asking for a meeting!"
Huo Guang did not immediately reply to the soldiers who came in to report. Instead, he looked at Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you see?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had no doubts about Li Guang and hummed: "Let him in!"
Huo Guang then nodded and said to the reporting soldier: "Okay, let Li Guang come in!"
"promise!"
then.
The soldiers brought in the cursing Li Guang.
only.
Li Guang was a little confused about the situation at the scene. As soon as he came in, he saw Huo Guang and a man with their backs to him, ignoring him. Instead, the two of them discussed the black powdery thing on the table with great interest.
Immediately!
He thought he was deliberately humiliating himself.
Say nothing!
Li Guang stepped forward and wanted to grab the strange man's shoulders and push him aside.
Then I will have a good argument with Huo Guang'er. Even if it is an exercise, war should not be fought like this!
But just when Li Guang's hand was about to touch the "strange man's" shoulder, the other person turned back.
When you see the other person's appearance.
Li Guang quickly withdrew his hand, secretly glad that he didn't touch the other person's shoulder.
otherwise!
The heads of Li Guang and his family were not enough to be chopped off by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Li Guang could not help but twitch his lips and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, why are you here?"
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, snorted and said: "If I were not here, how would I know that there is a general who is so petty that he would not only be captured in a hurry, but also behave like a shrew, rolling around and causing trouble in the military camp. "
"snort!"
"I feel ashamed for you. You are a veteran of three dynasties after all. Why don't you even have this kind of tolerance?"
Hear the accusation from Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Li Guang was shocked and immediately fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a fool's errand!"
"The general just feels that he lost unjustly!"
"Huo Guangming obviously only has five thousand soldiers and horses, but he has to come up with something ten to one."
"Forget it."
"But they just sent people to the battlefield and just said they would be replaced. They were gone without fighting."
"This makes me so unwilling to lose!"
However, it was better not to say this. Once he said this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che became angry.
He opened his eyes wide, glared at Li Guang, and cursed: "Li Guang, look at what you are saying, and you are still fighting against me?"
"Why, you want my soldiers and horses to kill each other before they go to the battlefield to kill the Huns?"
"Is that what you mean?"
Old General Li Guang immediately trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare!"
However.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty continued to rebuke angrily: "I don't dare, I think you are very brave!"
"Tell you."
"I have seen Huo Guang's plan, and you are not unjustly defeated. As for the strength of the troops, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses. If we don't convert it ten times, how can the Blue Army become the enemy of the Wei Qing Army?"
"alright."
"Tell yourself, how should I punish you?"
As soon as he heard about the punishment, Li Guang immediately became scared and said: "Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
However.
Upon hearing Li Guang's begging for mercy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just snorted.
at the same time.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also looked at Huo Guang and asked: "Little Huo Guang, what do you think is the best way for me to punish Li Guang's crime?"
I heard Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's inquiry.
Huo Guang was stunned.
Your Majesty, if you want to punish the crime, just punish the crime. Why are you asking yourself?
Huo Guang was a little confused. He lowered his head and glanced at Li Guang. He saw that the other person also raised his head and glanced at him. For some reason, he always felt that His Majesty had other meanings when he asked him.
Li Guang is a veteran of three dynasties!
For the Han Dynasty, he was loyal and loyal, and he killed countless Huns.
But Huo Guang heard about it.
This guy once stood in the wrong team, so he was not popular with Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would have been made a marquis long ago.
I don’t know if this rumor is true or false.
But if nothing else, based on his status as a veteran of three dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che would not be able to punish him directly.
because!
For such an old man, if he is not handled well, he will chill the hearts of other ministers or generals who serve His Majesty.
so.
Huo Guang didn't dare to talk nonsense at this moment.
Plus!
Huo Guang didn't really want to do anything to Old General Li Guang. He said straight away: "Your Majesty, since Old General Li Guang lost the confrontation exercise and refused to accept it, let him write a letter of confession and let him Tell me the reason for your mistake."
"As for the request?"
"Then write it until His Majesty is satisfied."
"What do you think of this punishment?"
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's the decision. Li Guang, I will let you go back to Wei Qing's camp and write a confession!"
"If the writing is not good, just write it again!"
"There is no time limit, but the reflection must be profound, you know?"
When Li Guang heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not punishing me for my reckless crime!"
"Well, you can go back!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand lightly, as if shooing away flies, to drive away Li Guang.
"promise."
Li Guang could only say something and then retreated.
Seeing Li Guang retreating in despair, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't help laughing anymore. He laughed out loud and said to Huo Guang: "Huo Guang, Huo Guang, you are really bad. You asked General Li Guang to write a confession. That's Is it something people do?”
The ancients valued reputation.
Asking Li Guang to write this is like asking him to slap himself in the face in public.
Is this something humans do?
But Huo Guang didn't take it seriously, and even secretly complained to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that when you get old, you will have to write a "confession"!
but.
Huo Guang only complained a few words in his heart, but he did not dare to say such words.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I don't know how to punish the crime. This is not just a suggestion! The final decision is yours!" Huo Guang chuckled.
However.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che glared at Huo Guang and said, "Are you talking about me?"
"I don't dare!" Huo Guang immediately shook his head.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, snorted: "I'm sorry you don't dare. Forget it. Let's not mention this and continue discussing what we just talked about. Hey, where did we just talk?"
"Explosive packs and cannons!" Huo Guang showed a harmless smile on his face.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, explosive packs and cannons. You just said that these things are so powerful that they can not only attack cities and strongholds, but can also be used to deal with the Huns. How do you use them?"
Huo Guang said calmly: "The explosive pack is very powerful, but it is larger and heavier than the firecrackers made of iron sheets."
"So throwing this thing is not effective just by human power."
"We need to produce a huge iron barrel, bury it in the ground, put some gunpowder at the bottom of the barrel, connect the leads to the outside, and then stuff the explosive package inside."
"We will light the iron barrels before the Hun cavalry rushes over."
"The power of the first gunpowder explosion will send out the explosive packets."
"The explosive package can fly for a distance of about two hundred steps, and then explode in the formation of the Hun cavalry charge."
"That's when!"
"Just the shock wave of the explosion can destroy the Huns' internal organs and kill them."
