For a military strategist, if he wants to grow faster, he needs four basic conditions.
Talent, bait, training, fighting!
For Huo Qubing, there is no need to talk about talent.
Food bait, every sect has this item to assist in practice.
Hard training can transform people's knowledge and feelings about military affairs into strength, pushing them to achieve faster breakthroughs and growth.
Therefore, Huo Qubing often led his troops on raids just to train his troops.
Finally, there is actual combat, especially large-scale life and death battles. The understanding and application of military warfare are particularly important.
All four are indispensable.
But the most important thing is obviously talent. Otherwise, no matter how hard you train, you will continue to be fed, and you will not be able to go far.
The elixir given by Qin Qingyu is of very high grade. If placed outside, it would be enough to cause countless people to fight for it.
When the medicine is released, the strength of all the veins in the limbs increases.
The ancient well in Huo Qubing's consciousness also gained aura.
Xuanwu opened his mouth and breathed out the aura in the well.
From a state-of-the-art perspective, Huo Qubing's cognition and understanding of military strategism have already reached a level comparable to that of many famous generals. The theoretical level far exceeds the power currently possessed by the body.
Therefore, his practice cannot be hindered by his current state, and there are almost no shackles.
After he took the elixir, his strength continued to grow.
The Overlord Halberd hung in the air in front of him, and the breath exhaled from his mouth and nose overflowed, as if being absorbed by the halberd.
As time went by, the Overlord Halberd became as new as new and the light was harsh.
time flies.
By early morning, the energy in Huo Qubing's body seemed to have accumulated to a critical point, and then suddenly increased and entered a new stage.
After a long time, the aura slowed down its growth.
He slowly stopped his momentum and ended his practice.
Then he held the halberd in his hand, and in an instant, the front of the soldiers soared into the sky, making the main hall of the guard seem like there were thousands of weapons clashing and clanging.

When Huo Qubing's practice increased again, somewhere unknown, someone tried to write his name again.
Snapped!
As soon as the pen fell, the bamboo slips used for writing and the pen in his hand collapsed at the same time, unable to survive.
"It's only been a month since last time...there's another improvement!" the writer whispered.
He seemed to be using this way of writing to feel the depth of Huo Qubing's power.
The writer then took out another simple book with twelve names written on it, three of which were listed at the top.
There are four in the second row and five in the third row.
At present, there are cracks in the top row and the second row, and the names are also cracked.
"Two died, and one of them is still one of the three most important people... The only advantage is that two new positions are vacant..."
The death of the two people he controlled was equivalent to losing two important chess pieces.
In the original plan, the next person he wanted to influence was doctor Ling Shi Jian. Although he had not succeeded yet, he had already made arrangements and was sure that Shi Jian would eventually become his pawn.
But now these arrangements are ruined.
The war between Han and Hungary was his first outbreak after many years of secret planning. Although it did not go smoothly, fortunately, there was no loss.
After the war, he secretly began to promote the second plan, but now it seems that it is still not going well.
And there were great losses, and important chess pieces died.
The next step is to continue to promote Chang'an's plan regardless of success or failure, or to stop temporarily and save Chang'an's other chess pieces, after Xu Tu?
The writer silently weighed: That Taoist slip should not be brought into Chang'an... But if it is not brought into Chang'an, the ray of energy will be cut off...
He quickly decided to temporarily stop Chang'an's plan and conserve his strength, because the Dao Slip had been lost, and continuing to promote it lost its fundamental meaning.
Let’s take a look at the progress of Beiguan first.
The secret person wrote again and wrote new content on the bamboo slips.

Far away in the Xiongnu, Yi Zhi squinted at the distorted writing on the territory map:
"Da Chanyu, you should recall General Yudu as soon as possible. If you can defeat the Han army on the battlefield and suppress the Han army, the Xiongnu's national games will reach its peak.
Otherwise, in just a few years, the Xiongnu's national destiny would be cut off by the Han generals, and the country's power would decline. "
Yi Zhixie laughed dumbly: "We, the Xiongnu, have thousands of troops and horses stretching across the grassland. How can one man and one general be able to shake them?
If you want to influence me, the Xiongnu, Han is not qualified. "
Yi Zhixie wrote in person: "You said you would raise fire in Beiguan within three days and asked the team I left to cooperate. Now the three-day period is almost here.
If you do nothing, I will reconsider our alliance with you. "
The handwriting on the territory map changed: "Huainan has agreed to make arrangements.
But I have bad news. Chang'an may have sensed something. They may also think of the changes in Beiguan and tell your people to be careful. "
Yi Zhi frowned and stood up to find Enchi, the great shaman.
The sky is dim and bright.
Huo Qubing didn't sleep all night, but he looked in high spirits.
Last night's practice had broken through his current small realm and brought him close to the peak of the Soldier Talisman Realm.
No wonder so many sects use food as an aid. The elixir refined by collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures can really promote practice and save time.
At this time, Dong Xu, the head of the chamberlain, came to look for him in person. Liu Che summoned him, and Huo Qubing went to Weiyang Palace.
Two days flew by.
On the afternoon of July, Zhang Cigong spent three days, changing horses along the way, galloping eight hundred miles every day, and rushed to Beiguan day and night.
He was standing on a city at this time, looking towards the grassland to the north.
Three days of galloping left his eyes scarlet and his lips chapped.
The power in his body was running at full strength, so he could stay awake.
He took out the strategic deduction diagram that Huo Qubing drew for him before leaving Chang'an. After looking at it carefully, he suddenly said to a Forbidden Army captain next to him: "The arrangement that Qubing drew on this diagram is like some women's. Jin, do you think it can be fulfilled?"
The captain looked solemn: "We have taken over the military defense here with military orders. The relevant people have also been detained and are being interrogated one by one. But what will happen, I really can't be sure?"
Beiguan, the night is dark.
Shanggu County and Yuyang County in the northeast of the Han Dynasty, where the two counties meet, and further north, is the area ruled by the Wuhuan nomadic tribe.
The predecessor of Wuhuan was Donghu who roamed the grassland.
But now it is no longer as prosperous as before. It is declining day by day, and it is divided into different small tribes, fighting with each other, and it is in chaos.
In the area where Wuhuan and Beiguan meet, there is a valley outside the scope of the Han army's scouts, which is located among the mountains and is quite hidden.
Hidden in the valley was a Xiongnu tribe that had split off from the last war between the Han and Huns and was dormant in secret.
They have been dormant here for some time, and their patience is gradually running out.
There were a series of tents in the valley, and from a large tent, the sound of a woman crying could be faintly heard.
There was also a crackling sound like a beating.
However, there were Xiongnu soldiers nearby who captured several Wuhuan women who had gone to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. They had been holding the tent for several days.
As the sky turned dark, a Xiongnu Qianqi commander came out, lifted the leather robe around his waist, and came to the main tent in the middle of the camp with a comfortable look on his face:
"Yanqi is in charge, and today is the last day of the agreement. If we don't raise the fire by tomorrow morning, we will have to go back. It will be a wasted trip."
"Catch those Wuhuan women, be careful not to reveal your traces."
Sitting in the tent was a short but sharp-eyed Xiongnu.
"What can I do if I know? There are only a few Wuhuan tribes around. Those Wuhuan women are very dirty, like she-wolves. Han women are better, like white sheep."
The Qianqi commander who came in smiled and said, "If someone really lifts the fire switch this time and lets us enter the Han territory, I will be responsible for robbing the women. You rob the property and kill the Han army with all your strength."
Yanqi said: "Have you done the important thing I asked you to do?"
"We've sent someone to keep an eye on it. If someone raises a fire, they won't miss it." Qianqi Chang said with a smile.
The fire they talked about was a way of communicating by beacon fire on the Great Wall during the Han Dynasty.
Raising fire is usually a call for help or a warning, indicating that there is an enemy attack at the border.
Sometimes raising a fire to communicate requires a corresponding fire signal. For example, using an iron tool as a top cover to suppress the fire and then lifting it up. Such changes between light and dark will form a fixed communication method.
Yi Zhixie's order to them was that on a certain day, if someone in Beiguan used fire in a specific way to send a message, they could gallop away.
Someone would let them enter the Han people's city, loot and set fire to the city, and cause a turmoil in the Han territory.
Using the method of beacon communication, one can see far away in the dark night.
The advantage of this method is that it can be seen by friendly forces and prove that they have been summoned, which can reduce the responsibility of the mole after the city is broken.
That is to say, despite the summons, the city was still breached because the Huns were too strong. Responsibility can be reduced afterwards and the identity of the mole can be concealed and protected.
The two parties agreed that the final time limit is tonight.
In the early morning of that day, as expected, the Xiongnu tribe saw a fire of communication being lit outside the Beiguan City of the Han people.
At night, the sky is full of flames, which is extremely spectacular.
The Xiongnu tribe was overjoyed, and the method of communication was exactly as agreed.
A group of people on horseback rushed out of hibernation and approached the place where the fire was set up in Beiguan.
After a while, they arrived outside a fortified city in Beiguan.
The night was getting dark, the suspension bridge outside the city had not been lowered, the gate was closed, and there were faint sounds of fighting inside the city.
"It was revealed that the Han people were in civil strife and fighting in the city?" Yan Qi's thoughts flashed across his face.
"The city gate is not open and we can't get in at all. What should we do?" Qianqi Chang asked.
Yanqi said at the door: "There must be an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos in the city. This gate is blocked, so let the ministries go around the city to see if any other gates in the surrounding area are open.
If not, look for other nearby cities. The Han people are in civil strife and good opportunities are rare. "
The generals immediately rode on horseback and ran wildly, obeying the orders!
