"Are your injuries healed?"
Liu Che praised and said: "I also know that you are a good general of the time, and you will definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu barbarians."
"I'm already fine."
"Okay. How many troops do you want to lead on this expedition?" Liu Che said with a smile.
Huo Qubing turned his attention to the censor standing aside.
Fan Xi was stunned for a moment. When Huo Qubing looked at him, he was about to speak, as if Huo Qubing had predicted that he was going to speak.
"Your Majesty, I am well aware of Huo Shizhong's bravery.
But this confrontation with the Huns is related to the success or failure of the country. Moreover, Huo Shizhong is a school captain and has not made any great achievements. If he leads the troops alone, he may not be able to convince the crowd. "Fan Xi said.
Huo Qubing had already expected this, and everyone knew that the civil servants wanted to suppress the military strategists.
They will never let another Wei Qing appear in the court to conquer Liu Che's barbarians, fully stimulate the idea of launching a large-scale military campaign, and devote the power of the country to fight everywhere.
If Liu Che agrees, the matter will be a foregone conclusion, so they will rush to speak and suppress Huo Qubing to lead the army alone.
After Fan Xi finished speaking, Dong Zhongshu, who was sitting beside him, also said: "There are few brave men among Huo servants, but I have heard about many of them even though I am not in Chang'an.
However, it is precisely because Huo Shizhong knows the military at a young age that he needs more training before he can take on the important task of the country the next day. "
The subtext of this statement is that it is not good enough now and lacks experience in war.
Liu Che may not really like Dong Zhongshu, but he always values his opinions.
Dong Zhongshu said calmly: "Since Your Majesty has agreed to allow Huo Shizhong to participate in the war, otherwise the battle will be limited to a thousand people. If Huo Shizhong can lead a thousand troops and become famous on the battlefield, next time there is a war, I am willing to personally wear a horse for him." How about seeing me off?"
This old master was very bad. He saw that Huo Qubing was young and full of arrogance, so he raised the limit of 1,000 people in public.
No matter how powerful a general is, if he has no soldiers, how effective can he be in a battle involving tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands?
History is always surprisingly similar, as if there is some mysterious force that has already planned everyone's life trajectory.
Historically, when Huo Qubing made his first appearance on the Han-Hungarian battlefield, he only had less than a thousand elite cavalry...
Huo Qubing said: "According to what Master said, my army will be limited to a thousand men."
He added: "I only lead a thousand troops, but they must be light and brave. Each ride cannot be limited to two horses."
He promised to lead only a thousand troops, and once the civil servants were on horseback, they no longer objected.
Liu Che also nodded in agreement.
After Huo Qubing performed the ceremony, he turned around and left with vigorous steps.
Going here is to serve the country and secure the country, to make achievements, and to be the prelude to the long spear and leave a name for eternity!
In the study, Fan Xi, Zhou Ping and others were also satisfied.
"Your Majesty, regarding the Bingfu Slip..." Dong Zhongshu looked at Liu Che.
Liu Che waved his hand and said: "We will talk about the Bingfu Jian after the battle with the Xiongnu is over. Master, when you return to Chang'an, you might as well stay for a while, don't leave in a hurry. During the confrontation between the Han and the Huns, I also have something to discuss with the master.
Okay, you go ahead. "
The emperor issued an order to expel guests, and Dong Zhongshu had no choice but to say goodbye with everyone and left the study.
The old prime minister Gongsun Hong and others said nothing during the whole process, and after coming out, they went about their own business.
Everyone from the Confucian family came to the side hall of Weiyang Palace where the Yushi clan was located.
A group of people looked at each other and suddenly smiled together.
"Huo Qubing was still too young and was forced by a few words from his master, so he agreed to lead thousands of troops.
He went to the battlefield this time and never expected to achieve anything great again. " Fan Xi laughed.
Zhou Ping also smiled: "He dared to say such words as "Bing Feng is with me" before. He was so frivolous. He should be taught a lesson."
Dong Zhongshu looked calm: "Even if he only leads a thousand troops, he has not given up. I'm afraid he still has the intention of making a name for himself."
Zhou Ping said in a mocking tone: "Even if he has the intention to lead thousands of troops to fight against the Xiongnu, I am afraid that he will not be able to make an achievement and will never return to Chang'an."
Everyone laughed.
"We still have to admit that the Huns are at their peak. Master is also doing it for his own good. It is not a bad thing to suppress him for a few years and make him more stable!" Bai Yu said.
…
Huo Qubing left Weiyang Palace, got on his horse, and rode to Changle Palace.
"Huo Shizhong is going to Beiguan?"
Liu Qing is wearing an apricot-colored Hanfu, with the lapel collar folded under the pink neck. She has a jade-like face and a graceful figure while kneeling.
"Exactly. After coming to say goodbye to the princess, I will leave Chang'an."
Huo Qubing said bluntly: "I'm here to get the corn pills."
The big cat sitting on the window lattice nearby heard that he was going to Beiguan. He immediately jumped down, walked to the side, and rubbed his head against the corner of Huo Qubing's clothes, quite reluctantly.
Huo Qubing reached out and patted the big cat on the head.
This guy is usually arrogant and petty, but he ran away from home because of Jin An.
"You stay in Chang'an to look after the house. I can't take you with me on this expedition."
The big cat immediately rolled his eyes and jumped back to the window lattice, expressing that he didn't want to talk to Huo Qubing.
"Shizhong Huo seems to be in high spirits and particularly happy today?" Liu Qing suddenly asked with his eyes flashing.
Huo Qubing's eyes were bright and he was indeed more energetic than before.
"You still have to be careful about that man in the dark. His skills are really treacherous. It's better for you in Chang'an, but if you go to Beiguan, he might attack you again." Liu Qing said.
Huo Qubing said: "Because I have figured out something, I am in a good mood."
"No matter what the secret writer is planning, since it is related to balancing the situation between Han and Hungary, his purpose and layout will also converge on the battlefield. If the Huns can be defeated, his plan will also come to nothing."
When Huo Qubing came out of Changle Palace, it was almost noon.
He originally wanted to visit his mother, Wei Shao'er, but he changed his mind slightly. It's not like he won't return to Chang'an in the future. This time he will go back to the expedition in a month at most.
In the afternoon of that day, Huo Qubing rode out of Chang'an and headed straight for northern Xinjiang with only a small group of soldiers.
His troops, led by Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu, were all waiting for him to join him at Beiguan.
————
Thousands of miles west of the Xiongnu Royal Court, there is a vast expanse of grassland.
The big Dan Yu Yizhi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, with King Guli on his right, and the tall Qu Meng stood behind him, wearing a wolf helmet and armor.
And leaning next to Yi Zhi, there was an old man with a stooped body.
The wrinkles on his face are like ravines, and he wears a crown of feathers on his head, which is the great shaman's enchi, the god in the hearts of the Huns.
"Great Shaman, the bones of our ancestors are placed here. Is it safe?"
Yi Zhi stared sideways at what looked like a human skull in Enchi's hand, with withered yellow bones and a slightly awed expression.
"It is its own intention to bury the remains here."
The great shaman's voice was hoarse and he looked towards the south: "How confident are you in this battle?"
"Now that the great shaman has taken action and mobilized the grassland to fight for me, the Huns. In this confrontation, the Han people will be defeated. I will make sure that no Han army that enters the grassland wants to leave."
Yi Zhixie said firmly: "Since the Han people chose spring to attack, we, the Xiongnu, will take back the losses of the Xiongnu's summer harvest from them.
A month later, we will plunder the Han people's fertile lands. "
The Great Shaman Enchi: "My power to promote Zu En can only be used for a short time and cannot last long."
"That's enough. As long as the Han army sets foot on the grassland, it will be defeated by our Xiongnu army."
Yi Zhi said obliquely: "I want to know why the great shaman personally took action that day?"
"I received a special piece of news. If the Han people show off their talents again, it will affect the fate of the Huns. The omen should be with that young Han general." The great shaman said.
"Young Han general?"
Yi Zhi smiled sideways and said, "I only found out about Huo Qubing's name recently. If you want to shake up the fate of the Xiongnu nation, just because he is a kid from the Han family?"
Qu Meng's face on the other side showed deep hatred.
He learned not long ago that his son Xubu Yongtu was also killed by Huo Qubing.
The descendants of the Xubu family died one after another at the hands of Huo Qubing, making him a Han Chinese that Qu Meng wanted to eliminate: "If he dares to enter the grassland, I will make him regret being born in this world."
"If you encounter him, remember to do your best and treat him as Wei Qing." Enchi said in a deep voice.
Qu Meng bowed slightly: "He can kill my son, but I only have hatred in my heart, not contempt."
"Let's start, let me listen to the roar of the prairie." Yi Zhi said sideways.
In the depths of the grassland that day, the wind howled and whined, and the entire grassland seemed to be covered by some kind of energy.
A few days later, Huo Qubing arrived in Beiguan.
At the right time, Wei Qing has made preparations for the war, and the battle of Dingxiangbei may start again at any time.
