The war between the Han army and the Huns lasted for three full days.
first day.
The Han army was forced to wait for work by the Huns' cavalry and rushed to fight, and was trapped in Mobei.
the next day.
The Han army used new weapons and caught the Huns by surprise.
The third day.
After the situation reversed, the Han army surrounded the remaining Huns forces and began to attack Zhao Xincheng.
It was already the fifth day when Huo Guang captured the Xiongnu chief Yu Yi Zhixie.
After two days of long-distance pursuit, the hundreds of hussars were already exhausted even with their iron-clad bodies.
Huo Guang did not plan to return to the city immediately, but found a place to spend the night, lit a fire, and let them rest for a while and recover some strength.
At this moment.
Huo Guang was playing with the Chanyu crown with a blue bird and gold crown in his hand. Looking at the Great Chanyu of the Huns in front of him, Huo Guang turned to Lin Yaoqing beside him and asked: "Vice Captain, what is this guy talking about? "
Lin Yaoqing said: "Captain Huo, the Great Chanyu of the Huns said that you just claimed to be the champion brother Huo Guang, how come he has never heard of your name!"
Huo Guang glared at Lin Yaoqing and said calmly: "Isn't that right? This guy's eyes are not kind, and his words are quite scolding like a village woman. How can it be possible for you to translate this sentence truthfully for me?"
Lin Yaoqing, who was pointed out by Huo Guang, had no choice but to explain in embarrassment: "Huo Lieutenant, it's better to say goodbye! What this bitch said was full of unpleasant things and was insulting to your mother-in-law!"
Insult your parents?
It just means that it has a very high mother content!
Say nothing.
Huo Guang immediately punched Da Shanyu in the stomach. The latter felt pain and started to scream again.
Huo Guang said to Lin Yaoqing at this time: "Tell the Great Chanyu that if he is caught by our captain, he is a prisoner of the Han Dynasty. Don't be ignorant!"
"As for my name, he hasn't heard of it?"
"It's very simple. This is called the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the last!"
"Just like two days ago, haven't they seen the new weapons we used to defeat the Huns?"
"They haven't seen it before, isn't it powerful enough?"
"If you don't meet them face to face, I'll beat the shit out of them!"
Huo Guang said a lot of words in one breath, which made Lin Yaoqing sweat profusely. Although he knew some Xiongnu language, he was probably not very proficient in it. He was at the level of a second sword at most.
then.
In the end, I could only pick up some of them without having to translate them.
I guess the translation is not very complete. Whether you can understand it or not depends on Yi Zhixie's understanding.
Anyway, after listening to it, Yi Zhixie said a lot of things emotionally.
Huo Guang looked at Lin Yaoqing and asked, "What did the Xiongnu Great Chanyu say again?"
Lin Yaoqing replied: "Captain Huo, he seems to be sarcastic, saying that you generals Wei and Huo are nothing special. We either rely on sneak attacks or weapons and equipment to fight. What's there to brag about? If the Han army wasn't well-equipped, How could the Hun cavalry be defeated?"
"Huh?" Huo Guang was confused and asked, "Why did he suddenly say this? Did you translate my words for him?"
Lin Yaoqing's face turned red, but he still nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Huo, what I just translated is the purest Xiongnu language. It's impossible for this Xiongnu chanyu to hear it wrong."
Impossible to hear wrong?
If this is correct, why did the topic suddenly jump from the topic of not knowing his name to the topic of mocking Wei Huo for his war.
Huo Guang was helpless.
I thought that the other party might just be unwilling to be caught, so he was deliberately taunting him!
then.
Huo Guang then said: "Vice Colonel, translate it to him and say that what he said is right. I, the two generals of Wei and Huo, just don't know how to fight, but as long as they can fight the Huns, it will be fine."
"The harder you beat the Huns, the richer the reward from your majesty will be for Han generals like us."
"besides."
"Tell him not to worry, I will take him back soon and take the credit for him."
After listening to Huo Guang's words, Lin Yaoqing scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Um, I have a question. Are you talking about me hundreds of years ago, or yourself?"
Huo Guang: "."
On the other side, Zhao Xincheng has been captured by the Han army who are good at attacking cities and demolishing strongholds.
Although there is no powerful siege weapon.
But Zhao Xincheng, which was piled up with such clods of earth, would definitely not be able to stop the powerful Han Dynasty army.
Two thousand years ago, a time when feudal dynasties and slave societies coexisted.
To survive in such a world.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "ruining hair and drinking blood".
The city walls of this era looked tall, but their strength was not as strong as imagined. Especially this Zhao Xin City was built by the Huns.
When the Huns built a city, no Han people were proficient in it. Naturally, the Han army found a loophole and invaded the city within two days.
The city is broken!
The remaining Huns inside were directly annihilated. If they surrendered and became prisoners, the Han army would spare their lives.
Wait for the Han army to enter the city.
The soldiers discovered that Zhao Xin City was different from the city the Han people expected. There were no so-called ordinary Huns living here.
Or.
All those who "live" here are millet.
I wonder if it was because the Huns knew in advance that the war was about to happen, so they hoarded all the food here.
It’s not so much that Zhao Xincheng is a city!
Rather it is a granary!
No wonder the remnants of the Huns cavalry army poured into Zhao Xin's city in unison.
turn out to be.
It was because there was enough food stored in the city to ensure that they would continue to deal with the Han army until the Han army was short of supplies and was forced to withdraw.
pity.
The Huns ignored the Han army's siege capabilities.
Otherwise, there would be no such idea.
After the Wei Qing Army captured Zhao Xincheng, they immediately obtained these grains and quickly supplied the army.
Because the general knows.
Some of the food of the Huns was looted from the border of the Han Dynasty.
so!
Wei Qing took it without any guilt.
At this time, Uncle Ao, the captain of the school, came over and said to Wei Qing: "Report to the general, this city has stored a large amount of grain. We have asked the army to supply it to the maximum extent, but there is still a lot left, and we can't take it away!"
The general frowned slightly and said: "You can't take it away, and you can't leave it to the Huns. When the time comes, we will withdraw and burn it!"
Gongshu Ao said quickly: "No."
At this time.
Wei Qing asked again: "Hey, by the way, where is Colonel Huo Guang? Why haven't I seen him after entering the city for so long?"
Gongsun Ao quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Gongsun Ao can be said to have no talent in leading troops, and his physical constitution is the same as that of Li Guang.
He delayed military flights many times and was sentenced to death by the court.
But the system of the Western Han Dynasty was that military commanders could pay a ransom to avoid committing crimes and then be demoted to common people.
Such a mediocre and talentless person.
Why can he become a captain every time there is a war or when military honors can be obtained?
Has a prominent family background?
No!
It's about his good interpersonal relationships.
The most important thing is getting to know Wei Qing. When the two were young, their relationship was so good that they could wear the same pair of pants.
There is this relationship.
It can be said that as long as the Wei family does not fall, Gongsun Ao will always be prominent!
After Wei Qing heard Gongsun Ao's words, he could only shake his head and said, "Hey, this kid, like his brother, disappeared while playing as soon as he arrived at the Mobei battlefield."
When Gongsun Ao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "General, there is nothing wrong with being like a hussar general."
"The Hussars General was seventeen years old and led eight hundred Hussars. He caught the Huns by surprise."
"After returning to the court, I was even more appreciated by His Majesty!"
General Wei Qing shook his head and sighed: "You also know that Qu Bing was seventeen years old at that time. How old is my little nephew, how can he compare with Qu Bing!"
"If something unexpected happens!"
"As an uncle, how can I explain to Qu Bing?"
The two were chatting when suddenly a messenger reported: "General, there is news about old General Li Guang. He is in the west-northwest of Mobei and is coming here."
As soon as I heard the news about General Li Guang.
The general's face became a little ugly, but he didn't say anything unpleasant.
But Gongshu Ao next to the general was not as good-tempered as Wei Qing.
in those days.
Gongshu Ao and Wei Qing, two brothers with different surnames, went on their first expedition against the Xiongnu, and were each appointed general by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.
Li Guang, who was also a general, relied on his hard work and achievements, and had been sarcastic and mocking them before setting off for the expedition.
General Wei Qing is a good man, and just because he doesn't care about this matter doesn't mean that everyone doesn't care about it!
Gongsun Ao was very resentful about this and said: "Humph, this old general, when we were fighting the Huns in a fierce battle, we couldn't see his figure. But now that we have eliminated the main force of the Huns' cavalry, he has appeared."
When saying this.
Gongsun Ao didn't care at all. He himself had once made the mistake of losing his way and delaying his fighter plane.
When the general heard this, he immediately said: "Captain Gongsun, please don't talk nonsense."
Gongsun Ao immediately raised his hand and said, "Yes, General."
After this!
General Wei Qing sent a group of cavalry to welcome Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's troops, totaling 17,000 cavalry, into Zhao Xin's city.
The border of Mobei is the territory of the Huns.
It is safer for the Han army to gather together in this city to prevent the enemy from attacking at night.
Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and others will be brought to the city.
General Wei had someone call him over and asked, "You two are unjust and delaying the fight. I want to ask why so that I can submit a letter to the emperor."
"Both of you!"
"Do you have anything to say?"
The meaning of Wei Qing's words was to give the two of them time to make up a decent reason so as not to make it difficult for him.
But Li Guang had no good temper at this time and said: "General, if you want to submit a letter, just submit a letter. What can I do? If you hadn't asked me to lead the army to take a roundabout route eastward, how could I have delayed the war!"
"Huh?" When the general heard this, he was also surprised and said: "So, the old general is blaming me? But didn't I ask General Zhonglang, who is familiar with Mobei, to come with you? How could you still do it? get lost?"
mentioned this matter.
Li Guang lowered his head and remained silent for a rare moment.
then.
The general called the deputy envoy Zhonglang, and asked: "Deputy envoy, I want to ask you, because you are familiar with the terrain of Mobei, I asked you to lead the way for Generals Zhao and Li. Why do you still do it?" Lost your way?"
Hear the words.
The lieutenant general, Zhonglang, knelt down and cried bitterly: "General, it's not my fault!"
"Although the land of Mobei is wild and wild, it is also vast and boundless!"
"Although my subordinates know the terrain of Mobei, they only know one road. The old general refused to listen and said that the road often taken would be easily ambushed by the enemy, so he changed to a narrow path."
"This unfamiliar road is overgrown with water and grass, and there are no special terrain features. This is my first time walking on it, so naturally I will get lost."
Li Guang, a much older man, was dissatisfied when an envoy spoke of himself in this way: "You envoy, what are you talking nonsense here? It's obvious that you don't know the way, but you blame me for the matter!"
"snort!"
"On that well-traveled road, there are crows flying in the sky, and there must be enemy troops ambushing you. If you walk there, what's the difference between walking there and giving someone away?"
Talking.
Li Guang was very dissatisfied and pushed the deputy envoy.
See this.
General Wei Qing said: "Old general, why should you be angry? I just want you to tell the truth!"
However.
At this time, Li Guang was already very angry and could not bear this.
He immediately said to the general: "The truth? What more truth is needed? The truth is not the good deeds done by you, General Wei."
"Your Majesty has agreed to let me become a former general and defeat the Huns so that I can gain the first victory."
"But you, Wei Qing, just asked me to do something roundabout!"
"You clearly know that I often get lost in Mobei, but you still let me do such scandalous things. Can you not know what you are thinking?"
Anyone who is scolded in the face will not look good.
As a general, Wei Qing is even more so.
but!
The general still didn't blame Li Guang for anything, but the school captain Gongsun Ao couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Li Guang: "Li Guang, do you dare to insult the general and seek death?"
The position of general is often established during wartime and ends after the war!
However, Wei Qing's position as general was never officially revoked by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even later it would be linked to the civil service in the DPRK.
certainly.
This is something.
But in any case, the general's status was very high during the Western Han Dynasty.
Even before the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty appointed a general, he had to choose a good and auspicious day, fast and bathe, set up a mandala, carry out etiquette and other tedious matters before appointing him.
So when Li Guang attacked General Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao said that he was seeking death. It was not an exaggeration at all!
However, Li Guang did have the intention of seeking death at this time, but he didn't take it seriously. He just laughed and said: "Hahaha, General, what a general, with equal authority. How dare I, Li Guang, insult the general?"
“The army is all about the general’s family!”
"Seventeen-year-old Huo Qubing serves as the captain of Piao Yao. I won't say anything!"
"Can this fourteen-year-old Huangkou kid also serve as a school captain?"
"Wei Qing, why don't you explain?"
Wei Qing, who was called by his first name, no matter how good-tempered he was, couldn't help but glared at Li Guang and said: "Old General, I think you are confused. How can the army be the responsibility of my Wei Qing family? Huo Guang is my nephew. But there’s actually no blood relationship.”
"His majesty allowed him to become a school captain at the age of fourteen."
"What's there to say?"
However.
Li Guang was not satisfied with this explanation and said directly: "Who believes what your Majesty has approved? Your Majesty also asked me to serve as a former general. How come you are here, and you let me and the right general go back in a roundabout way?"
"Huo Guang, a child with a yellow mouth, can become a school captain. What can he do?"
"snort"
"Is it possible that like his elder brother, he can kill the Xiongnu Chanyu's grandfather Ji Ruohou and capture the Chanyu's uncle Luo Gubi and come back?"
Li Guang just finished speaking.
suddenly.
Someone outside the house ordered the soldiers to come in and shouted excitedly: "Report to the general, Captain Huo is back. Captain Huo has captured the Huns' Great Chan Yu Yi Zhixie and is back!"
