During the two days Huo Qubing was out, the boat kept traveling south of the river, and was now approaching the Yunnan-Guizhou border that would later become known.
In the cabin, as soon as Patient Huo Qu approached the bed, Liu Qing opened his eyes and said with a sweet smile:
"You said you would be away for two days. I guess you will be back in the evening."
Liu Qing stroked his belly and cooed, "What do you want to do when you sneak in?"
"I don't want to alarm the whole ship and get up together."
Huo Qubing picked up the snacks on the tray from the low mat nearby and put them into his mouth. They were soft and sweet, a sign of his own chef's skill.
Liu Qing came out and the cook was also on the boat.
Huo Qubing traveled between two places and had not eaten anything today. All his troops ate during the march to ensure their physical needs.
Liu Qing patted the couch next to him.
Huo Qubing swallowed four pieces of snacks in two mouthfuls, took off his coat, took off his crown, and came to the couch. The refreshing fragrance lingered on his nose.
"How many days will you stay back?" Liu Qing asked in a low voice.
"Two or three days, let's go see the sea."
Liu Qing hummed.
The ensuing exchanges came naturally, especially since Huo Qubing was about to go on war again. Liu Qing was very greedy for the time the two of them spent together, and he flattered him. When he was in love, he shouted the most affectionate names in the world.
The moon is full and the river is long.
Huo Qubing held the sleeping Liu Qing in his arms, but he was promoting his cultivation in his consciousness.
Entering the Hundred Battle Realm, his power skyrocketed.
This is a realm of military strategists who specialize in fighting and accumulate luck by defeating enemies through confrontation.
Previously, Huo Qubing relied on five light silver symbols to forcibly gather his troops, the world and the earth interacted, and he broke through the barriers and entered the six realms, without the natural harmony and the final accumulation before breaking through.
These days can be an opportunity to stabilize the strength of Baizhan level.
The seven techniques of Yin Talisman in this Sutra, the last two are left to practice, and they will turn into military talismans.
One is the Five Dragons method of Sheng Shen, which is the first of the seven Yin Fu techniques in this scripture, and the other is the method of dividing power and subduing the bear.
At this time, the two practices each turned into two chaotic air masses in the sea of consciousness.
There are countless textures of military formations appearing in rotation.
Huo Qubing had a very clear feeling that when all the seven techniques of Yin Fu in this meridian were completed, some special changes would occur.
And a mysterious scene was unfolding inside his body.
The military symbols Suzaku and Xuanwu in the sea of consciousness spit out red fire slurry and a murderous military aura respectively, which blended with the Qi flowing in Huo Qubing's body, opening up his tendons and secret apertures.
This fire slurry, the energy of military attack, uses the human body as a furnace to forge the whole body and enhance the physical strength of the military strategist.
The Lingyao and Xuanwu soldier symbols were also glowing, and they also had energy. The symbols fell off and merged into Huo Qubing's body.
Contrary to the flames of the Suzaku and the swordsmanship of the White Tiger, the spiritual energy exhaled by Xuanwu and the fallen symbols of the Lingwei Soldier Talisman are all as warm and moist as the elixir of elixir.
Suzaku and Baihu mainly attack, with powerful offensive attributes, while Lingyao and Xuanwu focus on warming and restraining.
The four military symbols are like the two sides of physical nature, corresponding to yin and yang, life and death, movement and stillness, offense and defense.
The Seven Arts of Yin Fu in this Sutra, practiced to this day, are showing more mysteries.
Huo Qubing responded to the heaven and earth with his mind and sensed the stars remotely.
Top cabin.
In another room, Zhuo Qingke was wearing a sleeveless silk gown, exposing her white arms. She was also lying on the couch on her side, with a thin quilt wrapped around her waist.
It was Bai Nanyu who came in through the window.
Zhuo Qingke was not asleep, his starry eyes flickered in the darkness.
"Why is sister-in-law here?"
"I came back with Mr. Hou, come and tell me that Mr. Hou is back, so that you won't have trouble sleeping." Bai Nanyu smiled.
Zhuo Qingke sat up from the couch, and the thin quilt fell on her protruding waist. She also patted the couch next to her and motioned for Bai Nanyu to sit down and talk to her.
The long night passed in an instant.
The next morning, the building boat dropped anchor on the river.
Huo Qubing released the white tiger, and took Liu Qing to ride the white tiger straight into the clouds, running wildly on the clouds to the south.
Soon, the boundless blue ocean appeared below, and the sky and water were connected, making it a spectacular sight.
In the next few days, Huo Qubing warmed up his body's strength, adjusted the military's fighting spirit, and refined the newly acquired Hongming Sword.
This knife has not been unsheathed since I acquired it.
It's mid-February.
It is the coldest time on the grassland, with strong winds howling and dripping water turning into ice.
Farther north of the grassland, the mountains next to the icy lake suddenly shook violently.
Late at night.
The entire mountain slowly split open in the middle, and a majestic figure walked out of the mountain.
He walked steadily, and every step he took was in harmony with the surrounding world.
When he walked out of the mountain, his long hair was dancing in anger, his face was made of iron, and his complexion was bronze.
This man's legs are extremely long, giving him a majestic impression of being thick and powerful, as if he can hold up the sky.
He continued to move forward, and the mountains behind him began to collapse with a loud noise, as if the world was falling and destroyed.
Eventually, the entire mountain collapsed into rubble, resembling a giant earthen tomb.
Yudu came out of the mountain, hesitant to speak.
He swallowed up the howling wind on the grassland, and the wind stopped for dozens of miles around.
One breath can swallow the strong wind.
The next moment, the storm that Yu Du had swallowed into his belly seemed to be compressed and spit out again.
The ground exploded under the powerful storm.
Yudu's figure merged with the whirling wind, and he quickly moved away to the south of the grassland with frightening momentum.
At dawn the next day, in Ulaanbaatar, all the Tianhun tribe members heard a voice.
People and horses were running all over the grassland to meet outside the royal court.
The scorching sun rose into the sky and reached the zenith of the sky.
The demon-like figure of Yudu appeared on the highlands of Ulaanbaatar.
Below, in the ice and snow, in addition to the 30,000 warriors of the Tianhun Department, there are also 50,000 elite soldiers under the command of Shanyu Wangting, and 20,000 soldiers recruited from the land further north by Judu.
"Youdu! Youdu! Youdu..."
Yi Zhixie also stood on the high ground, listening to thousands of troops shouting the name of Yudu in unison.
He suppressed the jealousy and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Yi Zhixie knew very well that the Huns now needed Yudu and needed a great victory. No, it will take countless great victories until the Han people are finally completely defeated and become the supreme overlord.
"Youdu, you are finally back!" Yi Zhi said diagonally.
Yudu's eyes were blazing: "I said that within two months, we will bring a great victory to the grassland tribes!"
His voice spread through almost half of the grassland.
On the grassland that day, the storm was turbulent. Because of the return of Yudu, the momentum and confidence of the troops seemed to have returned.
They were like a pack of awakened wolves, about to unleash their strongest fighting power.
The Great Saman Boguna stared at Yudu's back.
He seemed to have seen something terrifying and yet worthy of awe.
In Boguna's eyes, there was a black energy on Yudu's body, which gathered into a black skeleton and attached to Yudu's body, and the two became one.
It was a headless skeleton, covered with extremely profound shamanic incantations with terrifying power.
And those mantras once belonged to God!
Boguna remembered the description he had read in a certain ancient shaman scroll, and his body and soul were trembling: "He has received the favor of the shaman god, no... he is the shaman god who has entered the human world..."
The atmosphere of the prairie is quietly changing, and a thick fog is rising, covering everything.
At the North Pass of the Han Dynasty, a sentry noticed heavy fog emerging on the grasslands and sent the news back to Chang'an.
In the afternoon, Emperor Liu Che walked into the Chixiao Hall of Weiyang Palace.
The Chixiao Palace was built by Emperor Gaozu, who cut stones from the five mountains of heaven and earth and gathered in Chang'an to suppress the fate of the dynasty.
This Chixiao Hall is also the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty clan, which worships the ancestors.
At the core of the ancestral temple, there are stones of the Five Mountains, corresponding to the five directions of heaven and earth.
These stones from the five mountains are gathered together in the ancestral temple, which is consistent with the national destiny of the Han Dynasty.
When the emperor stood among the five mountains, something wonderful happened.
He seemed to be lifted up by the Five Mountains, and the aura of national destiny transformed into a heavy mountain under his feet. He rose up and suddenly appeared above Chang'an.
He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He was strengthened by the power of mountains, rivers and earth. He looked south, then turned back to look north at the Xiongnu.
You can have a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers near and far, and the changes in the air movement between heaven and earth.
In the direction of the Xiongnu, luck is rising and fog is covering all directions.
The emperor's gaze was like a torch, focusing on the grassland.
He murmured: "The Yin-Yang family annotated and deduced the five qi of heaven and earth, saying that the Yuanshou year was the most important turning point in the national destiny of our country, and Qubing's birth coincided with the Yuanshou year. This year, the qi from all directions converged and poured into our Han Dynasty. A year of gathering.
In the east and west directions, troops have been used one after another to cure the disease, and the luck has been cut down and suppressed. The countries in the western regions and the tribes in the northeast have returned to the Han one after another, and there is no need to cause trouble.
Now, it’s the turn of the North and the South!
When all four sides are defeated, it will be the moment when I, the big man, will sit in the center of the world and gather the destiny of the gods! "
The emperor took a step forward and disappeared from the clouds.
In the study, the chamberlain Dong Xu bowed his head and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Kangju has come to Chang'an and is waiting for the summons outside the palace."
"Let him come to see me!"
In a short while, Lord Kang Ju came in from the outside tremblingly, bowed to the ground and saluted:
"The Lord of the small country of Kangju has an audience with His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty... I am here to bring with me, Kangju, 24,000 good horses, 50,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 36,000 precious utensils.
Two hundred beautiful women between the ages of sixteen and nineteen were presented to the Han emperor... and the champion prince. "
Make a great gift, offer the national seal, express surrender, and beg for surrender.
He also specifically mentioned that he would share some of the gifts with Huo Qubing. This was Kang Ju's respect for the general who defeated them.
Counting all the countries that had been defeated by the Han in the past, King Kangju had the most sincere attitude and brought all the national seals.
Liu Chewen said: "Give me a seat."
King Kangju was flattered: "Thank you, Emperor Tianchao!"
Under the guidance of the chamberlain Dong Xu, he came to the seat on the emperor's right and sat down.
"If you are willing to surrender to me, I will not treat you badly."
The emperor said calmly: "I will make you the prince of our Han Dynasty and give you a city. After you move to our Han Dynasty, you can choose Chang'an or Luoyang and other prosperous places to live."
"I would like to ask Your Majesty, is the Champion Marquis also living in Chang'an?" Lord Kang Ju was cautious.
He mentioned Qubing just now when paying tribute, and now he mentioned it again. The emperor smiled and said, "You really admire Qubing and want to see him.
The place you are sitting now is the place where you usually sit when you go to the hospital. "
King Kangju suddenly became restless. It turned out that this was the seat where the champion had sat.
"I don't dare to lie to Your Majesty. The champion princes have won consecutive battles in the Western Regions. Especially the Dayue clan was defeated by him in a few days. According to the information collected by Kangju, even the ground in the city has turned scarlet and bloody, and the innocent souls are howling. , more than ten months.
Xiaochen was really in awe of the champion marquis and absolutely did not dare to live in the same city or place with the marquis. "
The emperor laughed loudly: "Qu Bing's lifelong ambition is to ride a horse with a spear. When he is not using troops, he is still very easy to get along with.
You might as well stay in Chang'an and wait a few days to see if he is cured before making a decision. " After saying that, he looked out the south window and looked far away: At this time, Qu Bing may have already led his troops to the land of body poisoning.
Ailao.
After several days of rest, the Forbidden Army reunited.
The five thousand old soldiers who entered Ailao in the early stage, plus the one thousand troops brought by Huo Qubing, made a total of six thousand elites.
After entering Ailao, they quickly advanced west along the line.
That night, the Han army crossed hundreds of miles, left Ailao, and entered the area where India and Burma would later meet.
In the past few days, the troops and horses that arrived earlier have been gathering supplies to the Ailao border.
Two months of hidden preparations were just for this moment.
On the plain after leaving Ailao, night fell.
Huo Qubing sat on Jin'an's back.
Now, with his neck held high, An was pacing left and right in front of the troops, his muscles trembling with excitement from time to time.
Six thousand Han troops were led by captains such as Fu Luzhi, Chen Qing, Zhao Anji, and Zhao Ponu. The soldiers and horses were solemn!
Huo Qubing glanced at the troops and said loudly: "You dare to raise an army against me, a great man, and gather a crowd to kill my great Han governor. How should I, a great man, respond?"
"Kill the body with poison and massacre all the people to bury my Han governor!"
The momentum is like a rainbow, and thousands of troops respond!
Huo Qubing's voice was slow, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, glowing as sharp as a blade:
"If you can't defeat the enemies coming from all directions, how can you be worthy of my great Han Dynasty's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, how can you be worthy of my great Han Dynasty's thousands of people!"
"In this battle, the Han flag will be planted all over the poisonous land!"
Huo Qubing stretched out his hand and pointed: "Killing is victory, fighting is king! Let's go!"
"Go! Go! Go!!"
Six thousand Han troops chased after Huo Qubing, with Han flags fluttering and rushing towards Shendu like a strong wind.
At the same time, Puli in the Western Regions.
Zhang Cigong, King Hunxie, Yao Zhao and others gathered together.
They also received orders to raise troops at the same moment. The two routes merged to attack the body with poison!
"kill!"
Ps: From Yun Province to India, the nearest location is more than a thousand miles away. The national borders in the Han Dynasty were different from today. Going out from Ailao is Burma in later generations...
