Picking up threads in the air and touching the bed through clothes are signs that a person is about to die.
Seeing my aunt like this.
Huo Guang suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart. Perhaps it was due to people's instinctive fear of death, or perhaps he felt uncomfortable because he had been taken care of by his aunt for the past two years.
After seeing this condition, the Chief Medical Officer of Tai Chang could only shake his head helplessly and said: "Get ready for the funeral. Life and death are determined by fate, and old age can't save it."
The words fell.
The imperial physician Cheng left directly.
On medical skills.
The imperial doctor Cheng was supposed to be the best person in the Han Dynasty. He said this, which showed that there was really nothing that could be done about my aunt's condition.
Everyone in the general's residence began to cry after the imperial physician Cheng left.
The mistress of the family is about to leave, so it is.
This is a phenomenon where the head wife has the same status in the family as the male master.
If she were a concubine, she would not dare to be treated like this.
Huo Guang chose to stay, accompanying the three brothers of the Wei family, and stayed with his aunt until evening.
Over there in the kitchen.
The maid brought delicious food to Huo Guang and the three brothers of the Wei family. Huo Guang originally wanted to eat it, but he heard the Marquis of Yin'an next to him saying to the Wei brothers: "Brother, my mother has not eaten even a drop of food for three days. How can I, the son of a human being, be in the presence of my mother?" Eating in front of you?”
In fact, Wei Buji's words can be translated as "If you want to eat, please go out and eat."
But after all, Mr. and Mrs. Wei are brothers!
A younger brother must not offend his elder brother, naturally he said it so tactfully.
Mr. Wei originally wanted to vent his bad mood on eating, but after listening to his second brother's words, he could only put down the bowls and chopsticks and waved to the maid and others to leave.
after.
Continue to wait silently in their mother's room.
At this time, a maid came in.
Wei Buji immediately yelled: "Why did you come in again? Didn't I tell you to go out and wait? You just haven't eaten for a day, you won't die from hunger!"
Marquis Yin'an thought that the maids were persuading them, the alangs of the Wei family, to eat.
This is not the case.
The maid came in because of Huo Guang.
But when Wei Zhong yelled, he felt a little scared and said timidly: "Erlang, yes... there is a messenger outside who wants to see Huo Alang!"
Wei Busu then glanced at Huo Guang, knowing that he was looking for his cousin and had nothing to do with his family, so he stopped talking.
aside!
Huo Guang heard the word "messenger".
Then he knew that it was the person who had brought him to see His Majesty before. He immediately nodded and said to the maid: "I understand, I will go see him."
After getting up.
Huo Guang patted Uncle Wei on the shoulder to comfort him.
Then walked out.
After seeing the envoy sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
The messenger smiled and said, "I should be escorting Colonel Huo back to the military camp."
"Escort?" Huo Guang smiled coldly and said, "Isn't this word used accurately? With your body, if something happens, you won't be able to escort this captain! Besides, this captain is very familiar with the way back to the military camp. , no need for escort!"
However.
The messenger said: "But this is your Majesty's wish!"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Huo Guang glanced at the envoy suspiciously, feeling a little confused.
At this time, the envoy said: "Your Majesty said that the imperial court will take care of the Wei family's affairs for them. There is a small amount of money, thousands of horseshoe gold, and the funeral objects are prepared. Please don't worry about it, Captain Huo."
Small coins refer to mini copper coins that are one size smaller than the copper coins circulating in the market.
In the Han Dynasty.
This small amount of money is equivalent to the underworld coins of later generations.
Such as white paper copper coins, yellow paper, etc.
Hear the words.
Huo Guang's eyes turned cold. He felt a little disgusted by the fact that a person was not dead yet, but he was talking about his posthumous affairs, so he said, "I know, but I want to stay in the general's mansion tonight!"
However.
But the messenger said: "Captain Huo, don't embarrass me, and don't embarrass yourself."
"This is His Majesty's wish for you to return to the military camp immediately."
"You have no direct relationship with the Wei family. Naturally, the descendants of the Wei family are doing the filial piety!"
Huo Guang frowned immediately, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Does General Wei know about my aunt's situation?"
Faced with Huo Guang's question.
The messenger said no more words and remained silent.
This shows that General Wei Qing did not know the situation, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che concealed it from the general.
It seems.
The Nanda camp where Wei Qing was located was not a complete feint.
In the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this was his preparation. If Huo Qubing is defeated, the 50,000 cavalry led by Wei Qing will continue to conquer the Xiongnu cavalry.
This is equivalent to providing a complete guarantee for Liu Che's behavior of sending troops to conquer.
The situation of my aunt.
He didn't tell Wei Qing because he was afraid that finding out would disturb his mind and affect his expedition.
And the reason why Wei Qing was kicked out of the South Camp and left there to produce some flying thunder cannons was probably not a decision made to prevent General Wei Qing from communicating with the outside world.
so.
Is the insider leaking the news just a perfunctory excuse for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che?
For a moment.
Huo Guang thought a lot, and became more and more aware that Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was not simple.
finally.
After some contemplation, Huo Guang exhaled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to the people in the general's residence, and then return to the military camp!"
After hearing this, the envoy smiled and said, "Captain Huo, please hurry up. It's getting late."
"Ah"
Huo Guang glanced at the messenger and snorted softly.
Said it was an escort.
In fact, it is surveillance.
After he said goodbye to the Wei family, he left the general shogunate. The envoy hinted to Huo Guang on the way: "Colonel Huo, you are a smart man. You know that the last thing you can do when marching and fighting is to interfere with the commander's judgment, right? "
Huo Guang frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean?"
At this time, the envoy defended Han Wu Emperor Liu Che and said: "Your Majesty has done so much just because you don't want General Wei Qing to be entangled in family affairs."
"Do you know how long our Majesty has been preparing for this battle?"
"Two whole years!"
"You don't want His Majesty's two years of hard work to be wasted, right?"
For this.
Huo Guang faintly snorted: "Humph."
After that, there were no more words!
After arriving at the military camp, the envoy stretched out his hand to Huo Guang and said, "Captain Huo, it's time to give me the things!"
"Things, what things?" Huo Guang frowned slightly, and suddenly realized it. He took out a token from his pocket and said, "You mean this? Haha, I didn't expect that after becoming a captain, I still can't leave the military camp at will!"
Said.
He then placed the token in the hand of the messenger.
The envoy said: "Captain Huo is different from ordinary people. His Majesty said that you are a genius, so you should be carefully guarded."
"Huh, a genius? I think he's almost turned into a vase."
After saying that, Huo Guang waved his hand and walked towards the military camp.
Inside the military camp.
The soldiers finished the day's training early, and it was time to rest, eating food that was not very good.
It stands to reason.
Considering the importance that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was going to launch against the Xiongnu this time, it was impossible for this batch of recruited soldiers to be poor in terms of food.
The decisive battle with the Huns.
That means risking your life!
In ancient times, those who beheaded had to eat a good meal before execution, not to mention these soldiers who were about to embark on the battlefield in Mobei.
Then why is the food the soldiers eat in the South Camp still not very good?
Very simple.
There are people here asking for cards.
Many people in the military camp knew about this matter, but no one dared to raise any opinions and chose to ignore it.
Because the person who takes the card is not something ordinary people can afford to offend.
"Bah, damn it, it tastes so bad!" Lin Yaoqing, as deputy uncle, had a very low position in the military camp, so the food he received was the same as that of ordinary cavalry.
At this time.
A bowl of meat and two eggs was suddenly placed in front of him.
and.
In Lin Yaoqing's ears, the joking voice of the man holding the rice bowl came, saying: "It tastes bad, no, my bowl of rice is quite delicious!"
"oh!"
"I forgot that you are now the deputy uncle and cannot eat the food that only people in my position can eat!"
Hear this.
Lin Yaoqing looked up and when he saw the person coming, he couldn't help frowning and said coldly: "Who do I think I am? It turns out that I failed to curry favor with Huo Qiaoqi and was humiliated by Yan Xiao instead!"
When Yan Xiao was mentioned about his scar, he immediately said angrily: "Bold, can you call me Yan Xiao? Call me Vice Colonel Yan!"
Others may be afraid of Yan Xiao.
But Lin Yaoqing was obviously not afraid, and even mocked back: "Vice Colonel, if you don't call yourself a Colonel, I would have thought the person in front of me was a Colonel, haha!"
The words fell.
The man who called himself the deputy captain was so angry that he even wanted to beat someone.
However.
Lin Yaoqing said: "Yan Xiao, you know you can't beat me, right? Don't do it, otherwise I will do the same thing and beat you up, and you will be the one who is embarrassed, not me!"
Although Lin Yaoqing is just a small deputy uncle in Nanda Camp.
But due to the special nature of his identity.
Even if Yan Xiao is really beaten, it will be no big deal.
Because Huo Huqi from the Northern Army Camp will protect him!
What?
You said that the head coach of the Northern Army Camp has no control over the affairs of the Southern Army Camp? Sorry, the coach of the North Army Camp and the coach of the South Army Camp are the same family.
Wei and Huo do not separate families.
Five princes come out of one gate.
What an honor this is. Who in the military camp doesn’t know about this?
Lin Yaoqing was arranged by the Northern Army Camp to take care of Huo Guang. No one else knew about this. How could Yan Xiao, who was Lin Yaoqing's former comrade-in-arms, not know?
Think of this.
Yan Xiao suddenly turned his anger into a smile, but he still said sarcastically: "What's wrong with the deputy captain? He is also a military officer in charge of a thousand cavalry."
"You are just a young deputy, how dare you accuse me?"
"To know!"
"Between you and me, there are still three levels: Du Bo, Deputy Military Marquis, and Military Marquis!"
"Beyond the military princes, I am the deputy captain."
"What right do you have to laugh at me for being a deputy?"
Although Yan Xiao's words are arrogant, they are also true. Although Lin Yaoqing was sent here by the Hussars General, here in Nanda Camp, he is just a junior deputy.
I am not qualified to say anything about the deputy captain.
this point.
Everything can be well explained from the two people eating.
To this.
Deputy Dublin Lin Yaoqing had no choice but to turn his head and continue eating his unpalatable rough food.
When Yan Xiao saw Lin Yaoqing's appearance, he immediately seemed to have won, and laughed and said: "You still laugh at me for flattering me, no wonder I am so miserable. It seems that Sage Kong is right, rotten wood cannot be carved, and dirt cannot be carved." The wall cannot be built!"
"Hahaha!"
Then Yan Xiaopi took advantage of the verbal victory and left happily.
originally.
Lin Yaoqing was already in a bad mood after swallowing the unpalatable food. Now when he heard Yan Xiao's ridicule, he immediately vomited out all the food in his mouth.
"Bah, dirty stuff!"
"."
"."
After Huo Guang was promoted to captain by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, he was almost the same as Huo Qubing, the hussar general who first went to conquer the Xiongnu.
The only difference is that Huo Guang's men haven't chosen a hussar yet.
To know.
The famous champion, the basis for becoming famous, also needs eight hundred hussars!
And Huo Guang's men.
At present, there is only one hundred cavalry, which is no more than the strength of one uncle. Not even a single song, how could this match his status as a captain.
So the next thing Huo Guang has to do is to mobilize his troops.
Um.
Move troops, not recruit them.
The recruitment of soldiers was to recruit warriors from all over the Han Dynasty, while the deployment of troops was much simpler. They were directly recruited from other generals in the Nanda camp.
For example, Huo Guang took a fancy to a certain soldier in the 5,000 cavalry army led by Li Guang, Cheng Bushi and other veteran generals, and transferred them from them for his own use.
certainly.
Whether they agree or not is their business, and whether they agree or not is Huo Guang's business.
The old generals could have blocked the soldiers and refused to give them to Huo Guang, or Huo Guang could use all methods to lure the soldiers to his tent.
Of course, whether there will be conflicts is another story!
As a captain.
Huo Guang also has his own small tent in the South Camp.
This camp is like General Wei Qing's command camp. You can call some of your subordinates to come in to discuss some matters.
No.
A few days after returning to the military camp, Huo Guang called for his former deputy, Lin Yaoqing, and the new adjutant assigned to him by his superiors, the deputy captain Yan Xiao.
Huo Guang looked at the two of them. It was not clear that they knew each other at this time, so he said: "You two don't know each other yet? You will work under me from now on. Let's introduce each other and get to know each other."
However.
Lin Yaoqing said: "There is no need to introduce each other, we understand each other thoroughly enough."
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the two of them knew each other, but he felt that Lin Yaoqing's tone was not right, so he asked, "Have you two had any conflicts?"
Yan Xiao said at this time: "Don't worry Captain Huo, there is no conflict. At most, the food we eat is different and we have some complaints."
"The meals we eat are different? What does this mean?" Huo Guang suddenly frowned, not understanding what it meant.
At this moment.
Yan Xiao then said: "Didn't Captain Huo eat military rations when he was a dubo? It's the kind that ordinary soldiers eat!"
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said: "Since I came to the military camp, I have always gone to my uncle's general's place for meals. I have never eaten the military rations of ordinary soldiers."
Hearing this, Yan Xiaowei said with a smile: "It's better if you haven't eaten it before, and that's right, I'm confused. With the status of Captain Huo, how can you eat that kind of pig food!"
"Pig food?" Huo Guang suddenly frowned and said, "It should be a bit unpalatable. Using 'pig food' to describe it is too much!"
When Yan Xiao heard this, he immediately slapped his face gently with his hand, as if to apologize, and said: "Yes, yes, look at my mouth, I can't speak, I should shut up, I should shut up."
At this moment.
Lin Yaoqing, who was on the side, couldn't see this scene and smiled lightly: "Colonel Huo, I think Vice Colonel Yan is right."
"What ordinary soldiers eat is pig food."
"If Captain Huo doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to send you a piece of ordinary soldier's food. Wouldn't it be clear after you taste it?"
