The sky is getting brighter.
Li Hao stood on the top of Quwei's city, frowning.
There was a surprise attack in the middle of the night last night, and the situation was dangerous.
Fortunately, the Li family is not only a clan, but also a cultivator, and the canal is an important place. Although the Li family built a warehouse, there are 300 border troops stationed here. The situation last night was dangerous, but the number of the other party was not large, and in the end they were still there. He was blocked by them.
Nearly one-third of Quwei's warehouses were burned. The losses were considerable, but still within the tolerable range.
The other party had withdrawn before dawn.
At this time, the black smoke from the Canal and Wei River was cleared and could be seen dozens of miles away.
Li Hao stood at the top of the city. After a fierce battle for half a night and leading people to put out the fire, his face was blackened. There was a wound on his chest with bright red blood.
He looked at the newly extinguished flames in the city and felt like crying.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the city, and a team suddenly appeared and suddenly arrived at the foot of Quwei City.
There are only a hundred people in the entire team, but they are all elite, wearing armor and holding sharp points.
Li Hao stood at the top of the city and looked out, and saw that it was the Han army. He was overjoyed and heard the news from his troops: "The champion is Hou Huo Qubing!"
Li Hao trembled, as if the poor people were waiting for a savior, and ran all the way down the city to greet him at the city gate.
The team from outside the city was led by one person riding a tall horse.
The horse's neck was held high, its muscles were tangled like a small snake, showing infinite strength, and its hooves were bigger than a human head. The horse's eyes are full of arrogance, and the horse is unparalleled.
The person on the horse is none other than the champion of the Han Dynasty, the doctor in charge of the dynasty.
There is a small white horse flanking the champion, and a woman is sitting on the horse, wearing a bronze mask on her face.
Even under the current situation, the woman still attracted the attention of many people. She was wearing an apricot-colored long skirt with white trousers for horseback riding.
Just sitting on the horse, she gave people a charming look.
Inexplicably, almost everyone who saw her had the idea that this woman must be a peerless beauty.
Li Hao, however, had no intention of looking at the woman. He anxiously came closer and saluted Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing got off his horse and walked towards Quwei City, followed by a group of soldiers.
Li Hao followed naturally, bowed to lead the way, and said with a grimace as he walked: "Your Majesty, Li Hao, has met the champion. I, Qu Wei, was attacked last night and the situation is very bad."
Huo Qubing: "I sent you a message in advance. The grain storage was still burned. You are really incompetent."
Li Hao was unable to argue and said dejectedly: "It is true that I am incompetent, but the opponent came unexpectedly and knew the situation of our channel and Weiwei well. We fought with him to the death and protected most of the warehouse..."
"What's the damage?"
"The loss of nearly one-third of the border army's grain reserves may be a little tense before early spring, but it can still be passed. There should be no major problems." Li Hao's face was sweating slightly. Missing the military grain was a serious crime of beheading.
The fire in Quwei has been basically put out, and only a small part of the warehouse was burned by the fire.
Huo Qubing climbed to the top of the city and looked around the city.
Li Hao didn't lie. The area burned was not large and the death penalty could be avoided.
"The other party came out of nowhere. I still haven't figured out how they entered the canal." Li Hao said.
"I asked the scouts to send a message in advance to remind you, but you didn't increase prevention and control in advance?"
Li Hao said hurriedly: "It is precisely because of Huo Hou's reminder that I made some arrangements and the other party did not succeed.
The strange thing the minister mentioned was the way the opponent attacked, as if he jumped out of the shadow, making it hard to guard against. Also, since they have access to our channels, I suspect there is an inside job. "
Then he said: "If you had come two hours earlier, Marquis Huo, you wouldn't have allowed these little guys to cause trouble."
Huo Qubing was worried about the border defense situation and left Weinan at midnight yesterday. He first went to the border town in the northeast corner of the Han Dynasty to meet with the prefect Zhang Jun to discuss the next mobilization of troops and horses at the border. That was a big deal.
In the early morning, Fang turned his horse back and came to the canal.
Dong Zhongshu and Dao Zun stayed in the border town and did not follow them.
"Huo Hou, my great-uncle Li Yanqing was captured by that group of men."
Li Hao glanced at Huo Qubing and begged: "I've heard that Huohou is very fast, so I ask Huohou to take action and save my great-uncle."
Li Yanqing's name appeared in Huo Qubing's memory. He had taught him for a while when he was a child, but he had miserably punished him.
The old man suffered repeated defeats and repeated defeats. Later, he seemed to have developed a psychological shadow, which spread over a large area. A strike began, and he said he was determined not to work anymore and wanted to go home, so he left Chang'an and returned to Longxi.
"Li Yanqing, didn't he scold me behind my back?" Huo Qubing asked.
Li Hao was startled and wondered how much hatred the two of you have. One of you will be full of bad words when he hears his name, and the other will know that the other will curse when he hears his name?
"Of course not. When my uncle heard Huo Hou's name in the clan, he said that Huo Hou was second only to His Majesty among the disciples he had taught. He was smart since he was young and would definitely achieve great things in the future.
He also gave Huo Hou a name, Wu Qu, saying that Huo Hou was born with Wu Qu and was born victorious in all battles. "
Li Hao was secretly amazed by his wit and talent. In order to make Huo Hou happy, he went to save people, and his starting point was always good.
"Martial arts? Isn't it a perverse, straight or something like that?" Huo Qubing said with a smile.
Li Hao was surprised, you all know this.
He did not dare to answer, so he bowed his head and begged again: "Please Huo Hou, please save my great-uncle. He comes and goes mysteriously, and I am afraid that he will be far away and it will be difficult to find traces.
If you chase them at this time, with Huo Hou's speed, you may still have a chance to find them. "
Huo Qubing: "I sent a team to Quwei last night. Counting the time, we are not far behind the team that the enemy attacked and retreated. Since my people are not here, they should have caught up."
Li Hao was overjoyed and greeted him: "It turns out that Huo Hou was prepared and sent someone last night.
I had known that Huo Hou had no plans left, and that was indeed the case. "
Huo Qubing: "How many people are here?"
Li Hao said: "There are about two to three hundred people. We can't see clearly in the chaos, but it feels like there are not many people. But it is really not easy to deal with. The woman who kidnapped my uncle jumped out from the shadow behind our people, and her speed was astonishing. "
"The ones coming out of the shadow...are the Hun soldiers from the Tianhun Department."
Bai Nanyu had been listening and interjected: "People from the Tianhun Department can enter Xiguan, so the border defense also needs to be reorganized."
Huo Qubing nodded slightly. No matter how tight the border security was, it could not prevent the moths inside.
Some local forces have been entrenched at the border all year round and can always find ways to secretly transport people in.
Just like the Han army was about to enter the grassland, it was impossible for the Huns to prevent it.
Bai Nanyu said: "If it is the troops of the Tianhun Department, I will lead people to catch up and have a look, right?"
Huo Qubing said: "It's not necessary. The Tianhun Department is the elite of the Xiongnu, Cao Ni, and Xiao Qisheng are also the elite of the imperial army. There are still several people under their command who are His Majesty's imperial guards. There is no problem in winning. It just depends on whether they can annihilate all their opponents."
As he spoke, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the city, but two teams appeared at the same time.
A team is coming from the south.
Another team is coming from the north.
The sky is bright and the sun is rising.
From a distance, one could tell that the people coming from the south were Li's people. Hearing that something had happened in Qu Wei, they came overnight.
Quwei is an important area for grain storage and cannot be ignored. Li Zhao, the head of the Li family in Longxi, is here to lead the team in person.
Li Zhao and other clan members left Chang'an and returned to their respective families after Huo Qubing returned the ancestral belongings to them.
Outside the city, Li Zhao got off his horse and breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard someone said that Huo Qubing was in Quwei.
No matter what the situation is, knowing that this invincible general is here brings peace of mind.
He walked a few steps from the bottom of the city to the top of the city. When he saw Huo Qubing surrounded by people, he immediately saluted and said, "Lao Huohou came personally to deal with my matter in Longxi. Li Zhao is very grateful."
"Um."
Huo Qubing agreed.
At this time, another group of people from the city also came nearby. It was the imperial army led by Cao Ni and Xiao Qisheng.
When they galloped over with a team of three hundred people, there were many prisoners on horseback, all dressed in black. They were the Huns who attacked Quwei last night.
Cao Ni and Xiao Qisheng soon arrived at the city head:
"Mr. Zhongling, when we arrived at Quwei last night, the other party's scouts discovered us first, so they suddenly withdrew their troops.
We chased and fought with each other. After all, we were in the territory of our Han Dynasty. They had no way to escape and they had no horses. We overtook them and defeated them. "
Cao Ni was the emperor's imperial guard with a special status. He only reported to Huo Qubing and didn't even look at anyone else.
"In order to prevent the other party from retreating and disturbing the people, we pursued them everywhere, so we came back late."
Xiao Qisheng continued: "We captured some prisoners, and the leader turned out to be a woman. This Huns woman is really difficult to deal with. Even though we joined forces, she almost ran away."
"I also rescued an old man who said he was from the Li family."
Cao Niang waved his hand, and some of his followers lifted two people up from below.
One of them is Li Yanqing.
He covered his face with one hand to show that he was ashamed to see others. Through the fingers, he saw a man at the top of the city wearing a big cloak and silver armor and red robes. He was surrounded by people. Knowing that it was Huo Qubing, this surprise was really no small matter.
Li Yanqing's thoughts suddenly changed: How can I show my face to others? Last night, I said that no one would attack, but in a blink of an eye, someone did come and captured me alone. Damn the Hun barbarians. I was captured as soon as I was captured, and I was asked to be rescued by Huo Qubing's subordinates, so that I could deal with myself.
Li Yanqing's face turned red with shame. In desperation, he thought I might as well be dead. He tilted his head, closed his eyes, and fainted.
Xiao Qisheng personally took the female prisoner into his hands, grabbed her hair, and asked the prisoner to lift her head.
Huo Qubing glanced at the female leader of the Huns and saw that she had a fair complexion and an upper-middle-aged face. She didn't seem to have much out of the ordinary.
Bai Nanyu took a step forward, stretched out her hand and touched the woman's face. Her energy flowed, and the woman's face changed accordingly.
Everyone was shocked.
But the woman's complexion was unusually fair. After Bai Nanyu saw through it, her true face was revealed. She had a tall nose, deep eyes, and blue eyes. Her appearance was stunning.
Everyone was surprised. Someone had blue eyes? Is this a monster from ancient legends?
Huo Qubing's heart moved slightly. Where is the north of the Xiongnu?
Are the ancestors of later Russians Slavs, Scythians or Sarmatians?
What is their current civilization system like?
This woman is a soldier of the Tianhun Department under the command of Yudu. So Yudu’s hand has reached beyond the Huns, to the area north of Lake Baikal?
Huo Qubing became more interested and ordered: "Find a place where I want to interrogate her."
Li Hao quickly agreed.
The group then came to the city lord's mansion in the center of Quwei City. After sitting down in order, Huo Qubing looked at the foreign woman in front of him: "Name."
The woman didn't answer in silence.
The next moment, she couldn't help but scream, and her eyes showed panic.
In her mind, a giant snake suddenly appeared in her consciousness, eating her soul, and her mind was about to burst.
"My name is Wei Na!" the woman answered involuntarily.
"Origin." Bai Nanyu asked in charge.
"General Yudu's troops captured our tribe. I was valued by him, received training and training, and became a leader under his command. I was ordered to come to the west of the Han people's land a few months ago," Wei Na said.
Sure enough.
"Why do you know Chinese?"
"General Yudu has mastered a technique called soul-watching. He can learn to grasp part of other people's consciousness, allowing us to quickly learn the language of the Han people." Wei Na said.
After interrogation, a lot of information was learned from his mouth.
Yudu left the Xiongnu many years ago and traveled to northern Xinjiang. He discovered that there were people living in the far north. After conducting conquests, he gathered and annexed some lands and small tribes.
As a result, the Xiongnu's depth will be extended, and the strategy needs to be re-formulated... Huo Qubing thought.
From Wei Na's mouth, she also learned that the reason why the soldiers and horses of the Tianhun Ministry were able to attack Quwei last night was because the Liu family secretly supported them. They knew the Li family and Quwei very well.
"Mr. Commander, what should we do with this woman and the other prisoners of the Heavenly Soul Department?"
"Kill all the captives. As for this woman..."
Huo Qubing took a look at Weina. If he used a beauty trick on her and used other control methods, it would be a good choice for her to be a dead person, and he easily drove a nail into Yudu's side.
Another advantage is that Huo Qubing has reached the third realm of military strategism, and the subsequent four realms are military strategies, which require frequent tactics and accumulation of military strategist luck, which is of great benefit to his own practice.
I haven't used the talent beauty trap 'seriously' yet, so I just happened to give it a try with this Vina.
At the same time, Huo Qubing also discovered that Dang Cao Ni and other tribesmen who defeated Wei Na returned. In his sea of consciousness, another symbol rose from the ancient well, shining brightly.
This change has occurred twice.
The previous one was to kill the King of Huainan, this time it was to defeat the troops of the Tianhun Department who had sneaked into the border.
It was like this both times. It gave Huo Qubing the feeling that if he defeated the enemy, he could earn symbols from the ancient well with the Lingluo Soldier Talisman, which could be used to bless military books or his own military training?
