In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sitting in the palace, looking at a cloth map depicting the location of Mobei.
Although the map is large, it is still not detailed enough.
But in this ancient era two thousand years ago, it was enough.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty marked Dai County and Dingxiang County on the edge of the map, and murmured to himself: "I ordered them to exchange marching directions. According to the time, the two cavalry armies should have arrived at these two counties at this time. right."
Mrs. Li on the side took out the peeled fruit and fed it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, she did not forget to ask: "The two counties are far away from Chang'an. Your Majesty, how can you know the whereabouts of the two generals when you are in the palace?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was immediately happy. While eating the fruit prepared by Mrs. Li, he said, "You don't believe it?"
Mrs. Li quickly lowered her head and said in fear: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not question your Majesty's intention."
After seeing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty laughed and said: "Why are you nervous? I am not angry with you."
Hear this.
Mrs. Li suddenly felt relieved.
And this time.
A man dressed as a soldier from the Lin Army hurried in, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the Wei Qing Army has stationed in Dingxiang County last night, and the Hussars General has also arrived at Dai County with his troops."
Mrs. Li immediately exclaimed and said: "Your Majesty is really right, the two generals have already arrived."
Seeing Mrs. Li's admiration and admiration, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt a little happy at this time and said with a smile: "We just arrived at the normal time. If they don't arrive at the specified time, I will punish them. They don't dare to delay. !”
As he spoke, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty studied the map again.
At the same time, he did not forget to mutter to himself: "This is okay in the territory of the Han Dynasty, but if we enter Mobei, I am not sure where the Huns are hiding. I wonder if Wei Qing and the others can find them!"
Mrs. Li said at this time: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. The two generals are like gods with their troops. They will definitely find him."
Facts have proven that women who are beautiful and can talk are the most attractive to men.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was no exception.
Shortly after the soldiers of the Yulin Army who came to report the news withdrew, another guard came in and reported to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, over there in the Forging Iron Hall, the blacksmiths have made the first batch of flying thunder cannons. I am preparing to try it out, and I hope to get His Majesty’s consent.”
"Oh? Has it been made? Okay, let's go and have a look!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded slightly.
Subsequently.
Then he took Mrs. Li to go with him.
The horse-drawn carriage was traveling on the galloping road, and no one dared to stop it.
After all, this is the carriage that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rode in!
As for Chidao, because of Jiang Chong and other embroidered messengers, the residents of Chang'an City have long been afraid to ride horse-drawn carriages.
All of them, including the crown prince Liu Ju, were pulled off the carriage by Jiang Chong.
One can imagine.
Who among the residents of Chang'an City dares to ride a carriage on the horse road?
There was only the carriage that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rode on.
As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he not only did not criticize Jiang Chong's operations, but even appreciated them.
This is why Jiang Chong dared to offend Prince Liu Zhi.
after all.
This is what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty supported him in doing.
The carriage is slow.
But the ancients did not talk about traffic jams. Even though Chang'an City was very prosperous, there was only one carriage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty traveling on the road.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and his beloved concubine Mrs. Li quickly arrived at the Blacksmith Hall.
After entering the palace.
The first batch of ten flying thunder cannons produced were placed in the palace.
The dark muzzle is inexplicably frightening.
Mrs. Li accompanied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to watch these flying thunder cannons, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, are these the cannons designed by the champion Hou Di?"
"I heard that there was a training session at South Camp last time."
"The champion Hou brother just randomly cut off the tree trunk and said what kind of weapon it was. He said arrogantly that General Li, Cheng Bu Shi, was defeated."
"This makes the soldiers of Nan Daying quite critical of this childish behavior!"
"It is true!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had personally experienced that incident. Naturally, he knew the process of the incident better than anyone else. However, he still looked at Mrs. Li curiously and asked: "This matter is a matter of training in Nan Daying. Although I won't say anything about it, It’s kept secret, but not something that ordinary people can know.”
"You are in the palace and won't come out for a long time."
"How do you know about this?"
Hear this.
Mrs. Li quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I heard from my eldest brother that he has been practicing military skills recently and wants to be successful in learning as soon as possible so that he can serve your Majesty. That's why I have some contact with General Li's family. We met, and then we talked about it.”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered Li Guangli, who shouted to compete with Xiao Huoguang after being questioned about his hunting in Shanglin Garden last time.
This guy's name has one more character than General Li Guang.
Martial arts are much sparse.
After two or three rounds, Huo Guang knocked him off his horse with a stick. He was thrown into a panic.
This kind of performance.
In the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it can be said to be very embarrassing.
However, because he was the brother of his doting concubine, Mrs. Li, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not say anything to him. He snorted lightly and said: "There is indeed something about the training in Nan Daying. Not only did I know about it, I also went there specially. , let that little Huo Guang do it with confidence."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was immediately surprised and said: "Your Majesty loves the champion brother so much, I am afraid that after hearing this, I will become jealous."
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he smiled dumbly and said: "There is nothing to be jealous about. I let that boy do this arrogantly and arrogantly. It is not a favor, but a convenience so that I can beat the general in the future!"
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was only one general.
That's Wei Qing!
There is no one else.
Even Hou Huo Qubing, the champion favored by His Majesty, is only a hussar general.
Although after the Battle of Mobei.
The uncle and nephew have equal status, but the title of general still belongs only to Wei Qing.
after all.
This is the man who fought for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty against the Huns and achieved his first victory.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was immediately confused about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's operation. Let Huo Guang act arrogantly, and he said it was to beat Wei Qing. The two are not closely related, right?
With this suspicion, Mrs. Li asked: "Your Majesty, I don't understand this matter, but I am also very curious. Isn't General Wei Qing your Majesty's favorite general? Besides, he is the empress's brother, so why is your Majesty? Knock him?"
"Moreover."
"Does this have anything to do with the champion brother?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gently touched the muzzle of the flying thunder cannon with his hand, feeling the cold touch on it. After a while, he slowly withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and said calmly: "Wei Qing is steady and it's hard to make mistakes when doing things. I can't just hit him!"
"The Hussars General has an impulsive personality and makes many mistakes. But I have high hopes for him, so I don't want to knock him."
"As for this kid Huo Guang, he is frivolous and likes to engage in some business activities. I am a little unhappy. It is most appropriate to use his mistakes to beat Wei Qing."
Huo Guang in history was famous for his stability.
It can be said.
When he served as an official next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, until the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang's path and steps he took every day remained completely consistent.
In everyone's eyes.
He is a very strict stickler for rules.
But here's the thing.
Huo Guang at this moment is no longer the person he was in history.
steady?
Does it have anything to do with him, Huo Guang?
No, not at all!
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this, he suddenly turned his attention to Mrs. Li and continued: "Five years ago, Zhao Xin, the Huns surrendered by Wei Qing, suddenly defected and led his troops into Feiying Stream, preparing to raid Ganquan where I was stationed at that time. palace."
"In order to protect the safety of Ganquan Palace, the general actually mobilized the Hu Ben Yu Lin Army to move forward without authorization."
"I don't blame Wei Qing for doing this."
"only."
"At that moment, I suddenly discovered that the general who had relied on me in the past could actually mobilize the non-military Hu Ben Yu Lin Army without my will."
"How can this make me feel at ease?"
Emperors of all feudal dynasties have always had a common problem.
That’s paranoia!
As a heroic leader of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was only more suspicious than other emperors in history.
The Yulin Army was the bodyguard of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This kind of soldier.
Only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could mobilize him. Anyone who mobilized him would be punished by death.
Wei Qing was able to mobilize Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's personal soldiers. In other words, if Wei Qing wanted to rebel and kill Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, wouldn't it be easy?
Once the emperor became suspicious.
The consequences are disastrous.
Fortunately, Wei Qing was still the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and with Empress Wei's relationship, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no idea of executing Wei Qing.
But since then, Wei Qing has been suppressed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Just at this time, Huo Qubing, the hussar general, emerged again, so under the overt and covert manipulation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the transfer of military power and prestige began.
And when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Mrs. Li said these words.
The imperial aura of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so impressive that the delicate Mrs. Li did not dare to speak.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty continued to mind his own business and said: "Aiji, do you know why I made Wei Zifu the queen and Wei Qing the general?"
Mrs. Li opened her mouth to say that it was because Queen Wei was the first to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty, but she felt that it was not good to say so, so she shook her head again and said: "I don't know, and I don't dare to make any guesses!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not pay attention to Mrs. Li's answer.
only.
A look of deep pain and hatred broke out in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Since Empress Lu, the women in the Han Dynasty court have always wanted to imitate her."
"When I first came to power, Empress Dowager Dou had a firm hold on the power, making it impossible for me to do anything."
"Empress Dowager Dou passed away, and my queen mother and my imperial aunt, Princess Guantao, came up to do the same thing again."
"The reason."
"It's all because their identities are not simple and they have family support behind them."
"After I have figured this out."
"So I made up my mind that whether it was to have children or to govern the country and defend against enemies, I would never reuse those with their own powerful background. Whether it was Wei Zifu or Wei Qing, they were the ones I was looking for at that time."
"Because for such a humble person, the only one he can rely on is me!"
"Without me, they are nothing!"
"What a pity, my idea is still too simple."
"Because I looked back and found that the reputation and power of the new people who only relied on me at the beginning have grown up to be as good as those of the old people in the past that I was afraid of."
The words fell.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Mrs. Li again and asked, "Aiji, do you know why I want to tell you these things?"
After hearing what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said.
After Mrs. Li thought for a while, she said: "Your Majesty wants me to understand that I and my brothers in the family should not cling to relationships with other families."
"Because I, my family, are the only ones I can rely on!"
"That's your Majesty."
"You are smart!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hooked Mrs. Li's nose with his hand, and then said extremely arrogantly: "But you are not smart enough. What I want to tell you is that since I can make Wei Qing become a great figure that attracts everyone's attention, General, I can naturally let your brother have the same honor."
"But if you interfere in the court's affairs."
"I will also deprive you of all the honors of the Li family, do you understand?"
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
Mrs. Li immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong and should not interfere with those court matters."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che still loved this beautiful concubine Ji very much. He immediately pulled Mrs. Li up and said, "Ai Ji, I won't do anything to you. Just remember what I said today."
"alright."
"It's time to test the power of this thunder cannon. Come on, let's test the cannon!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave an order, and the Yulin troops came in one after another and pushed out the ten flying thunder cannons.
Because the iron-making industry was not good at this time, in Huo Guang's design, the barrel of the thunder cannon must be thick enough!
Outside the barrel.
Also tie it up with something as strong as wire.
Come down with a set of procedures.
After all, it should be much stronger than that thing where a gasoline barrel is used as a barrel.
After the flying thunder cannon was pushed out.
Line up the ten doors and fill them with propellant and explosive bags according to the instructions given by Huo Guang.
As for gunpowder?
Naturally, it was Huo Guang who contributed. Otherwise, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che would not be able to produce these gunpowder in such a short period of time, no matter how powerful he was.
After the leads and other things are done.
The blacksmith who made the cannon stepped forward and begged: "Your Majesty, please step back. According to the design diagram left by Huo Yilang, this weapon is extremely powerful. Not only for the enemy, but if used carelessly, it will also cause difficulties to one's own side." The harm of imagination.”
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he nodded and took a few steps back.
However, the blacksmith still said: "Your Majesty, please retreat further."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He took Mrs. Li and took two steps back.
However.
Even so.
The blacksmith still opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, for your safety, please"
However, before the blacksmith finished speaking this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was already angry. Without giving him time to speak, he said: "Come here, drag this blacksmith down and hit thirty big slabs again!"
"Soldiers from Changyu Lin Army come up to test the flying thunder cannon!"
"snort!"
"No one in this world can make me retreat again and again."
"I don't believe it anymore. This flying thunder is really as powerful as little Huo Guang boasted!"
An order was issued.
The blacksmith who was begging for mercy was directly dragged down by the Yu Lin army.
Followed.
The Yulin Army soldiers stepped forward to light the fuse.
These soldiers were very obedient to orders and the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, and they did not realize whether there was any danger. The emperor ordered them to light the black rope, so they lit it directly with torches.
The black rope will burn when exposed to fire.
Obviously the reservation is very long.
But soon, it was seen burning into the barrel.
Then there was a loud noise, the gunpowder in the barrel spurted flames into the distant sky, and the round explosive package was "spit" out.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
