In the sixth year of Yuanguang, Huo Qubing was only eleven years old. At that time, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were at war. Three of the four Han armies that resisted the Xiongnu invasion suffered defeats, and the situation was precarious. Only Wei Qing, commander of the army, unexpectedly attacked Dragon City and won a great victory. And return.
The emperor then granted Wei Qing the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Wei Qing also became the first general in history to truly attack the Xiongnu Dragon City.
But the famous saying of "Let the Flying General of Dragon City be here and not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountain". The "Flying General of Dragon City" actually refers to Wei Qing. The word "Flying General" is more of an adjective than "Flying General Li Guang".
He has never been to the Hun Dragon City!
In the second year of Yuanshuo, when Huo Qubing was thirteen years old, the Huns and the Han fought again.
It was still Wei Qing who led his army to attack the Xiongnu, launched the Henan Campaign, recovered the Hetao area in one fell swoop, and established Shuofang County.
You must know that the Xiongnu at that time were no worse than the Han Dynasty in terms of national strength and territory, and their military frontier was neither strong nor weak.
Wei Qing's ability to defeat the Xiongnu shows his talent.
After his class returned to the court, he was granted the title of Marquis of Changping again due to his meritorious service, and he became famous both inside and outside the court.
In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo (last year), the Xiongnu marched southward in three groups. Wei Qing took advantage of the Xiongnu Right Xian King's arrogance and underestimated the enemy and boasted of being a military leader. He attacked at night, surrounded, chased, blocked and killed them, and won another great victory.
After the war, Wei Qing became a general and became the banner and leader of the Han army.
Wei Qing's rise is legendary. He worked as a shepherd boy since he was a child and suffered a lot.
After adulthood, he worked as a riding slave in Princess Pingyang's mansion. Later, because Wei Zifu entered the palace, he was favored by Emperor Wu and promoted. He also served as an attendant beside the emperor, and was gradually promoted to a general based on his military exploits.
Wei Qing is now in his early thirties and in the prime of life.
He spent most of the morning handling military affairs in the side hall flanking Weiyang Palace.
Important officials in the court had side halls on the wings of Weiyang Palace for handling official duties.
Wei Qing in history finally married Princess Pingyang, but before that he had a wife and three sons.
At present, Princess Pingyang, a third-married woman, is still in her second marriage and is not married to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing's General's Mansion is also located in the south of the central city, not far from Huo Qubing's residence alone.
Huo Qubing, accompanied by his maids Xiong San and Da Mao, left the house and headed north along the long street.
The big cat is still flying over the walls and walls of the building, and the mysterious cat has never seen its tail.
About a quarter of an hour later, a vast mansion appeared in front of the sight, with people coming and going in front of the door.
Wei Qing is now a high-ranking general and is very popular, so he is naturally surrounded by people.
Some of the people who visited came to discuss business, while others came just for friendship.
Huo Qubing came here as if he were returning to his own home. He entered the house directly from the small door on the side.
"Son."
All the servants, maids, and attendants in the mansion knew Huo Qubing, and they were respectful and greeted him with courtesy.
"Where is uncle?"
"I'm discussing things with some generals in the side courtyard." A waitress said.
Huo Qubing walked straight to the side hospital and said to Xiong San: "Your aunt took good care of you when you were first brought to Chang'an. Go and see her. You don't have to follow me. I'll be there soon."
"Ang!" Miss Xiong San, who never knew how to be polite, agreed and ran away with a quick stride.
"If you dare to eat those fish that my aunt raised, I can't protect you." Huo Qubing glanced at the big cat that had just jumped up to the roof and was about to commit a crime.
The big cat changed its direction nonchalantly, jumped off the wall and disappeared.
Wei Qing's mansion was very large. Huo Qubing walked through two antique courtyards and then passed through a long corridor before arriving at the side courtyard on the south side of the mansion.
Wei Qing is a tall man, dressed in dark yellow casual Hanfu, sitting in the main seat in the room.
Wei Qing's rich life experience has given him a calmness and insight that is different from ordinary people. Simply sitting there, he has a calmness that remains unchanged despite the collapse of a mountain.
Wei Qing is a cautious yet courageous person, good at creating and seizing opportunities, and he is bold and careful in his actions. This was fully reflected in his several battles with the Huns.
He and several generals were doing tactical deductions. The door was already open, but Huo Qubing walked in without anyone announcing it.
Wei Qing has a pair of firm and powerful eyes, which seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Seeing Huo Qubing, he smiled rarely and waved to his nephew to sit beside him.
There were four other people in the room, all of whom Huo Qubing knew.
One is Wei Qing's close friend Gongsun Ao, the other is Gongsun He, as well as Zhang Cigong and Su Jian.
Among them, Zhang Cigong's experience is also quite legendary. His father was a military general, but he had no knowledge or skills when he was young. He once left home and traveled around the world. He also worked as a thief in his early years. Later, he followed Wei Qing to fight against the Xiongnu and made meritorious deeds. He killed the enemy bravely and accumulated merit. Become a general.
It is worth mentioning that the Northern Army Lieutenant Liu Huaishu was killed a few days ago. He was recommended by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had talked with the emperor before. Today, he just issued an edict to have Zhang Cigong succeed the Northern Army Lieutenant. His status has been increased and he has become a very important powerful person in Chang'an.
Although Zhang Cigong was a thief, he was handsome. He was only thirty-two years old, with fair complexion and bright eyes.
He had a happy face and came here to thank Wei Qing for recommending him.
Several other people here are also famous figures in history.
Among them, Gongsun He is still related to Huo Qubing. He married Huo Qubing's aunt Wei Junru.
Su Jian is the oldest among several people, already over fifty.
He also had a son who would leave his name in history, namely Su Wu, who had been herding sheep with the Xiongnu for nineteen years and never changed his mind and never surrendered to the enemy.
These people had grown up watching Huo Qubing and were familiar with each other. After Huo Qubing saw the ceremony, he sat down on a low mat nearby and listened.
Everyone here has experience in leading troops and is a famous general, and the discussion is about military strategies.
"We fought against the Xiongnu last year. Although we had the upper hand, the main force of the Xiongnu was not lost. Your Majesty discussed this matter with me. It is expected that the Xiongnu will take action during the harvest this year. What strategy do some generals think we should use to deal with it?"
Several generals started to conduct deductions.
But when Wei Qing waved his hand, the military power in his body was released, and his fighting spirit was manifested. Thousands of troops and horses appeared in front of him, shrinking into a battlefield-like scene.
Of course, this change is a kind of military magical power used in deductions, a change of qi, and is not real.
The other generals also released their fighting spirit and combined their strength.
The transformed battlefield seemed to come to life with the combined efforts of everyone. There were two tribes of Xiongnu and Han troops in it. Although the image was illusory, the scene was almost the same as the real battlefield.
This is the unique magical power of military strategists. They visualize the qi movement on the battlefield and use the military qi to promote its formation.
The battlefield evolved by a master of military strategism can even match the real battlefield and be substituted into it to have an impact on the battle situation.
The military game determines the success or failure of the country and is extremely complex.
Huo Qubing watched silently, but in his heart he thought about the Huns' army that attacked last year, but was defeated by his uncle who took advantage of King Youxian's arrogance to underestimate the enemy and attacked at night.
Calculating the timing, if I fight again this year, it will be my time to make my debut.
When his thoughts turned to the confrontation with the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing's internal energy was naturally activated by the transformed battlefield in front of him. He became so powerful and sharp that he did not fall behind in the face of several brave generals.
The auras of several generals intertwined with Huo Qubing's, and a murderous aura arose deep in Wei Qing's mansion.
Under the impact of this force, the clouds in the sky quickly dispersed as if they had encountered a storm.
Wei Qing had been defeated by the Xiongnu in a row in recent years, and it was clear that he was blessed with luck, and his military strength was as strong as a mountain.
His aura matched that of Huo Qubing's, and the force of the force was like rolling thunder, and there was a qi in the courtyard outside like an approaching storm.
"Okay, I had a vague feeling the night before yesterday that you had a breakthrough in Qubing.
Sure enough, he has entered the ninth level of the military realm and is much stronger than I was back then. "Wei Qing said happily.
Several other generals were also surprised and envious.
"When I was Qu Bing's age, I was only at the sixth level of the Lower Ninth Realm. At that time, I already felt that my talent was pretty good." Gongsun He said with a smile.
Wei Qing regarded Huo Qubing as his own son. Wei Qing was most happy that Huo Qubing could achieve anything. He immediately said:
"If we fight the Huns again, how do you think we should respond to Qu Bing in order to achieve a decisive victory?"
After Huo Qubing had recovered from his injuries, he said: "My army is divided into two groups, one is light and the other is dark. The bright ones line up their troops and wait for the work. The Huns suffered a new defeat last year, so they must be eager to equalize and make achievements, so they can take advantage of their mentality. If I are stable and he is anxious, he might as well use a plan. To induce them to make mistakes.”
"good!"
The generals looked at Wei Qing in surprise.
Isn't it a coincidence that before Huo Qubing came, they got together to discuss the situation of the war. Wei Qing's strategy and analysis of the Huns' mentality were almost the same as Huo Qubing's, even the wording was very different.
Have your nephew and uncle discussed it?
"Go on," Wei Qing said.
"Since the Xiongnu are eager to make achievements, they will invest a lot in this battle. The entire front of the army is pressing against our border with the Han Dynasty, leaving the rear empty. The main force of our army is waiting, and we will win steadily. This is an upright trend. On the other way... we can try to use surprise. Compatible..."
Huo Qubing made the beginning and stopped talking about the rest.
This journey of surprises was reserved for himself and would be his first battle after he was born!
The generals gathered together to discuss, and when it was getting dark, they had dinner at Wei Qing's house before going back to their respective homes.
Without anyone else to disturb them, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing came to the study again.
Huo Qubing was going to ask about the magical power of the evolution of natural military strategies, and the subsequent training of military strategists in the realm of heaven and man:
"Uncle, does he know what military strategies can produce magical powers?"
