The time of dawn.
Several gleams of light flickered, flew through the air into Chang'an, and finally fell into the hands of different people.
…
Soldiers are the major affairs of the country and the key to life and death.
Whenever there was a war, Liu Che would personally go to the top of the city to send troops to fight.
When Huo Qubing entered the inner palace, the court meeting in the palace had just ended and preparations were being made.
In the study room, Liu Che was sitting in the main seat, and around the next minute, there were civil and military officials who had just come down from the court meeting, and they were all going to accompany him to see off the army.
Wei Qing is dressed in military uniform and light armor. He has a calm demeanor and is as motionless as a mountain.
Sitting at the head of the hundred officials is an old man. He is Gongsun Hong, a famous official of the Western Han Dynasty and a member of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The current Prime Minister.
He was also the first person in the history of Han Dynasty to be granted the title of prince based on his phase.
He was nearly eighty years old. He was responsible for benevolent governance and made many achievements during his reign. Although some of his ideas were not liked by the martial Liu Che, his position was stable. Generally speaking, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony.
"When we travel later, I would like to wish Wei Qing a triumphant victory in advance, so as to enhance the power of our great Han Dynasty." Liu Che's voice was low.
"I must do my best to live up to His Majesty's trust." Wei Qing said solemnly.
"The time is approaching, let's go."
In ancient times, when sending troops, one had to choose a good and auspicious time to match the heaven and earth.
All the ministers stood up one after another.
Half an hour later, the emperor drove out through the north gate of Weiyang Palace and walked along the imperial road on Anmen Street to the city gate. The road was under strict security and heavily armored.
The group of elite Imperial Guards closest to Liu Che's carriage was escorted by Huo Qubing.
In the accompanying team, there were other ministers and some members of the royal family.
Zhang Qian also followed the team with the Hu envoy.
Huo Qubing glanced at the Hu man from a distance and thought: This time he deliberately expanded the ceremony for his uncle to send troops. The main reason is to take the opportunity to show the military might of the Han Dynasty to the Hu man envoy.
Na Hu Shi had a deep memory of Huo Qubing's behavior at Zhang Qian's house yesterday. Seeing him turn his head, he immediately nodded and showed a friendly attitude.
"Qu Bing, you were at Zhang Qian's house yesterday, but you took away something that Mrs. Dong wanted to give me?"
Liu Che's voice came from the frame.
Huo Qubing rode close to the chariot and said, "This is indeed the case."
The black curtain with red stripes swayed slightly and rhythmically as the chariot moved forward. Liu Che's deep voice came from the car: "You should be honest."
"Master Dong's disciples insisted on using the Bingfu Scroll to let me try it, so I tried it."
"Then they just robbed people of their belongings."
Liu Che seemed to be laughing a little: "When I woke up in the morning, a bamboo slip flew outside the palace. It was a letter sent to me personally by Mrs. Dong at no expense. Where is it?"
The wool of the Bingfu Slip had not been finished yet, but Liu Che asked in person. Huo Qubing felt helpless, stretched out his hand to make something out of nothing, and pulled out the Bingfu Slip from the void.
Liu Che grabbed it in the carriage, and the brief book appeared directly in his hand as if it were jumping through the air.
Liu Che opened the Bingfu slip and looked at it line by line.
Sun Wu, Lu Shang, these names appeared one after another. When turning to the end, he saw Wei Qing and Huo Qubing one after another. Liu Che couldn't help but twitching his lips: "Brilliant clothes and angry horses... There is a letter from Master Dong, saying that your name can be recognized by the Bingfu Jane. It's It is my good fortune and the country's good fortune! Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, in terms of military qualifications, you are the best.
He also said that because of this, he will teach you more and more strictly... Master also has high hopes for you. "
This old master wants to praise me and praise me... Huo Qubing's thoughts fluctuated.
After Liu Che finished reading, he pushed the brief letter out of thin air and sent it back to Huo Qubing:
"The core energy of this military slip has been activated by you. In this case, I will allow you to use it for two more days, but you must remember that this slip has other uses and cannot be destroyed."
Liu Che went on to say:
"When did you learn the magical power that came out of nothing?
When I saw me yesterday, I hid this simple letter in a military bag that was made out of thin air. I didn't notice it for a while and never found it. "
"Yesterday, my qi machine connected with this soldier's slip, and I felt a surge of power from it, so I got this magical power."
While the two were talking, two ministers were sitting in a spacious carriage in the accompanying team.
They looked at the emperor in front of him and Huo Qubing who was accompanying him from a distance.
The person sitting in the main seat in the car was the imperial censor, whose name was quite rare, called Fanxi. He was dressed in official robes, had a handsome face, and a short beard on his chin.
The one sitting with his head tilted to his side was Tai Chang Zhou Ping.
"Besides me, have you also received a summons from Master?"
Liu Che's carriage was not far away. The two of them spoke extremely cautiously and wrote with their fingers in the air. They didn't even need to infuse the Confucian atmosphere, without any alarm.
Zhou Ping nodded slightly.
"Master came to tell me that Huo Qubing came to the military mansion without fighting. He must be a great military strategist... First there was Wei Qing, and then there was Huo Qubing. If he is allowed to become famous all over the world, the military strategist will also flourish. With your majesty's temperament, at least dozens of Within this year, our military strength will only become more and more prosperous.
The master has been planning for many years to depose hundreds of families, but he is afraid that it will come to a standstill and will be difficult to implement. "Fan Xi said.
"But Master also said that those who can board the military mansion cannot be stopped. What's your best plan?" Zhou Ping asked.
"If you can't stop him, then slow down his speed of becoming a famous general and buy time to make other arrangements."
"How to delay?"
Yushi Dafu Fan Series wrote:
"Cutting his ambition to differentiate his talent in military affairs. He is only seventeen. Can he still concentrate on military affairs when he has a family? Can he still concentrate on military affairs when he has a wife and daughter? His mind has been transferred, and he can still concentrate on military affairs. Is it a military matter?"
"You can also try to reduce the chance of him leading troops on expeditions..."
Zhou Ping also wrote: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. He is by His Majesty's side day and night, and opportunities are hard to find."
"How will you know if you don't try..."
While the two were exchanging opinions, the carriage quickly arrived outside the north gate of Chang'an City.
Liu Che got off the car and climbed the stairs of the inner city to the top of the city.
At the right time, the Chang'an Guards stretched outside the city, their troops and horses were prominent, and they were lined up in a dark mass. A wave of military intent actually pushed away the clouds, unable to condense.
Huo Qubing and other officials followed Liu Che to the top of the city one after another. They looked at the tens of thousands of Han troops outside the city, and all of them had ups and downs in their hearts and agitated emotions.
When Liu Che followed the sacrificial etiquette and recited the military sacrifice in person, he announced that the world was over.
Below, in front of thousands of troops and horses, Wei Qing saluted from a distance at the top of the city. The roar of the troops shook the sky, and even the city walls seemed to tremble and shake in the sound.
Immediately, Wei Qing turned his horse's head, surrounded by the generals, and headed north with the flag hunting.
The army meanders, horses' hooves trample the ground, and the military power is at its peak.
Together with Wei Qing, this army and horsemen will go to Shuofang, Yunzhong and Dingxiang counties on the northern line to reorganize.
Huo Qubing discovered many years ago that this world had more prosperous and numerous soldiers and horses than the Han Dynasty in known history. The elite soldiers and horses of the Chang'an Guards alone numbered 100,000.
This time Wei Qing led lieutenant general Gongsun Ao, left general Gongsun He, former general Zhao Xin, right general Su Jian, rear general Li Guang, strong crossbow general Li Ju and other generals to rush to the northern front.
However, not everyone will leave together. Some generals will gradually set off to join Wei Qing with food, grass and baggage in the next few days.
When the army left, Liu Che stood up and returned to the palace.
Some members of the royal family also accompanied the team to watch the military power, and then dispersed.
Among them was Liu Qian, the eldest son of King Huainan.
When he returned to Huainan Prince's Mansion, he saw his sister Liu Ling coming to greet him with a serious face:
"I just received the news that Zhang Cigong was also summoned by Wei Qing and said that he would go on the expedition together. Zhang Cigong will set off in three days to join Wei Qing."
"Zhang Cigong was transferred away so suddenly?"
Liu Qian's heart sank slightly, and he and Liu Ling looked at each other, and both could see the panic flashing across the other's face.
Does the transfer of Zhang Cigong mean that the contact between Liu Ling and Zhang Cigong has been noticed...and are other things also noticed?
Liu Qian thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "Yesterday, I asked you to investigate the reason why Huo Qubing was summoned to the palace by His Majesty. Is there any news?"
"have.
Four days ago, Huo Qubing mobilized the guardsmen and horses, marched to the southwest for military training, and made a surprise attack on the foreign cavalry on the western front. After he came back, His Majesty rewarded him. "
The attendant behind him said: "He brought thousands of soldiers and horses out of the camp, and saw many people. He did not hide anything when he came back. It is not difficult to check the itinerary."
"Everyone in the Chang'an Guards knows that Huo Qubing often leads troops in drills. When he was fourteen, he said that the Huns are on horseback. If you want to catch up with the Huns in riding skills, you must be more familiar with the nature of horses than the Huns. Chang'an Some in the Guards followed his advice and lived and ate with horses for many years, and even their legs were slightly bent from long-term riding.”
"It is said that Huo Qubing also ate and lived with the horses when he was training. He was addicted to driving horses."
"So, he often leads troops out of Chang'an?" Liu Qian's eyes flashed.
"Yes, it is said that at least once or twice a month."
Liu Qian pursed his lips and walked into the hall.
At the same time, Huo Qubing, who returned to Weiyang Palace, discovered that there were flashing writings on the military book in his consciousness: "If you have doubts, you should knock on the truth, and observe and then act; those who recover are also the matchmakers of Yin."
It means to repeatedly investigate and then take action, which is an important means to discover hidden enemies.
This is a tactical solution to arouse the enemy!
"You'd better hide your tails tightly and don't expose them." Huo Qubing thought.
Liu Che walked one step in front of him and said: "The Huns are coming to envoy. They have already crossed the northern line and are expected to reach Chang'an in three to five days. There is also a Huns envoy from the Western Regions. You can meet him later and show him around." Read the majesty of my court."
