It's bright.
The emperor, who divided his soul yesterday and fought for half the night, was sitting in his study in high spirits.
He had just come down from the court meeting and was talking with Huo Qubing, Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong.
"...Half Saint Zongheng thought that he was leaving us behind and heading east to the sea, not just to take a look at the Three Immortals Mountain."
Dong Zhongshu thought about it and said, "Is it possible that he later returned to the Han Dynasty to lure us back and prevent us from staying in the East China Sea for fear that we would discover something?"
"Has Huo Hou ever considered letting people explore the eastern seaboard in depth?
I suspect that the half-saint is in the East China Sea and has other purposes or arrangements. "
Huo Qubing said calmly: "There is no need to investigate further. Master is right. When we came back this morning, Zhao Ponu just sent a message."
"At night after we left, they took the Mirage and arrived at the sea near Sanxian Mountain.
Mirage has the effect of creating illusions and hiding itself. They concealed their ships and cruised around Sanxian Mountain, and accidentally discovered traces of another fleet. "
A hazy halo appeared in Huo Qubing's hand.
The light of the mirage dragon ball spread.
For a moment, there was a sound like a tidal wave in the study room, and even the air was a little moist.
"Is this an illusion created by the Mirage Dragon Ball?"
Gongsun Hong was amazed by its authenticity, and his hearing and senses were all affected by this illusion.
In the study, several ships appeared in the mist of illusion created by Longzhu.
"The ships discovered by the Mirage are one big and three small.
The lead ship is barely smaller than the Mirage. After investigation, it was found that it was also left behind by the Qin Dynasty. It was the second ship in the fleet sent out by Emperor Qin to explore the eastern seaboard. It was second only to the Mirage. Bird number.
The characteristics of the mirage are transformation and concealment.
The Black Bird is good at attacking, and its specialty is speed.
These ships were also watching Sanxian Mountain before. "
In the illusion manifested by the mirage bead, a total of four ships finally docked at a port.
"Beyond the East China Sea, are there other lands?"
"It's a big island."
Huo Qubing thought that was the place where Japan would be in later generations:
"The island where the other party docked is very large. After Zhao Ponu sent people to hide and investigate, it was determined that there were cities and troops on the island, and there were a lot of them."
Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong, and the emperor all became serious.
There is a large island outside the East China Sea, and someone has built an army on it.
"Back then, Emperor Qin sent Xu Fu to lead a group of tribesmen, boys and girls, to go to sea, but their final destination is a mystery."
"Connecting some clues together, the people Xu Fu led should have gone to live on this island not far from Sanxian Mountain in the East China Sea.
There are people on the island that Xu Fu took away back then, as well as the original indigenous people.
They trained and managed these indigenous people and formed a military force. After a hundred years of development, the island already had the prototype of a country. "
"Is this a backhand arrangement by the Zongheng Half-Saint outside of our country?"
The emperor clarified his thoughts: "In this case, this overseas island country should look for opportunities to uproot it and swallow up its national destiny.
By the way, let's see if it will cause changes in the bronze pillars corresponding to the area east of our Han Dynasty on the Sheji Map. "
Then he asked, "Have you found anything?"
The question was about Huo Qubing.
The so-called 'discovery' has something to do with chasing Zongheng Semi-Saint into the imperial mausoleum.
Chasing into the imperial mausoleum is not just a simple fight, there are also methods behind it.
The emperor himself committed suicide in the imperial mausoleum, attracting most of his opponents' attention.
They also wanted to take the opportunity to test the emperor's depth.
When the emperor's dragon soul was fighting with his opponent, Huo Qubing continued to use tactics and tactics to make some arrangements.
He uses a series of schemes to hide the truth, fish in troubled waters, deceive the opponent's perception, and bury a dead space among the opponent.
That is to say, using the corpse to resurrect the soul, combined with the talent beauty trap, to exert a spiritual influence on someone on the enemy.
So as to use it to detect the enemy and understand the opponent.
This process is similar to that of Wei Na back then, except that Huo Qubing is stronger now and is more secretive and clever.
When the emperor asked if he had found anything, he was asking Huo Qubing if the spy had gained anything.
The person who was tampered with by Huo Qubing was a high-status general from the other ethnic group who led the troops to attack the Underground Great Wall.
"not yet."
Huo Qubing passes perception.
In the imperial tomb on the other side, the general who had been immobilized was standing outside the underground Great Wall with a gloomy look on his face.
Even he himself didn't know that Huo Qubing would use him to explore the secrets of the ethnic group banned by the imperial mausoleum.
study.
At this time, the emperors Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong looked at the black-yellow halo that Huo Qubing took out from the divine palace.
It has been passed down from ancient times and belongs to the Zen confederation platform of Huangdi Ji Xuanyuan.
This is a legendary sacred object that embodies the fate of the Yellow Emperor who unified all tribes in the ancient tribal period.
Huo Qubing entered the imperial mausoleum last night. In the handwriting of the First Emperor, there were several jade slips that had changed last time, echoing another kind of qi in the mausoleum.
The Fengchan platform used by Huangdi was then pulled across the sky and captured by Huo Qubing.
The Zen platform was square and clumsy, a nine-step loess platform.
The difference is that the top and bottom bases of the earth platform are made of five-color sacred soil, which is the living soil, corresponding to the sky and the earth, implying the process of ascending from the earth to the heaven to enshrine Zen.
The soil used in these two steps is several times more than the small bag of soil used by Liu Che, which is precious and important.
And the whole Fengchan platform, there are also incantations carved by Huangdi himself, and the halo is flowing.
After Huo Qubing handed the Feng Chan Table to the emperor, Liu Che held it in his hand and looked at it.
After shrinking, it is nine inches high, like a black and yellow pagoda.
"I have decided to climb Mount Tai in the early spring after the turn of the old and new years to perform the Zen ceremony. Then I will use this Zen stage to perform the ceremony and see what happens."
…
Liu Qing came back from Huashan yesterday and has been staying at the Hou Mansion without leaving the house.
When Huo Qubing came back, his daughter-in-law came out quickly to greet him. She walked a little more hastily, her upper body fluttering with rhythm.
"Later I found out that His Majesty also took action to deal with that half-saint with you, so I became less worried."
Liu Qing, who was wearing apricot palace clothes, held Huo Qubing's arm and walked in the inner courtyard of his house while asking, "What happened to the half-saint in the end?"
"He is very familiar with the layout of the imperial tomb. After the fierce battle, he hid in the darkness and disappeared."
Huo Qubing said: "If I go on an expedition, no matter what happens, don't leave Chang'an."
Liu Qing said oh.
Dao Zun and others also rushed to Chang'an one after another.
There was a banquet in the house in the evening, and everyone gathered together to talk and summarize information from all parties.
"I have something to ask, brother Qin."
After the dinner, everyone dispersed and Huo Guang chased them to the study.
After coming to Chang'an for several months, Huo Guang became more stable and determined due to the changes in his outlook and experience.
Light blue stubble was growing out of the corners of the young man's mouth.
"While I am studying with Master, I also want to do something, but I don't know what to do or where to start. I would like to ask my brother for advice."
Huo Qubing understood immediately that this kid wanted to follow him, but he didn't explain it in a roundabout way.
Huo Qubing can only remember a few words about Huo Guang's specific promotion route in history. Some circulating historical data say that it was Huo Qubing who initially took him with him and taught him how to do things step by step.
After Huo Qubing died, he gained the emperor's attention.
"There are official positions under the Forbidden Army. They have to travel around and work hard. They don't have formal official positions, but they can be exposed to and learn a lot. Are you willing?"
Huo Guang said happily: "Of course I am willing to follow my brother in doing things. Thank you very much, brother."
"How are things going at home?"
"The situation at home is good, but... my sister married into a small official's family. When she learned that we were related to my brother, we often sent letters asking when we could see him.
I think he must have planned to ask Brother Qin for help with promotions or something, but I rejected him several times. My sister also wrote that she wanted to see her brother. "
Before Huo Guang, Huo Zhongru had an eldest daughter who was married outside.
Huo Qubing said: "It is inevitable that relatives will move around. If they want to come, let them come."
Huo Guang nodded and bowed out.
Time flies so fast, half a month passes in the blink of an eye.
This was Huo Qubing's rare break for more than two years without fighting.
The current priority of the Han Dynasty is to dig the Grand Canal, build ships, and raise funds for the Zen ceremony.
The emperor and ministers were still busy adjusting the currency system.
This winter, the Han Dynasty tried its best to transform the land and population captured in the past two years to enhance national strength.
Early December.
Zhao Anji, who went out to conquer the Xiqiang, recovered the Lu branch, and Yao Zhao and others returned.
The generals under Huo Qubing fought in various places year after year.
In addition, the essence contained in the bones of the previous shaman god was given to several people by Huo Qubing, which promoted their growth in strength.
After returning this time, several people felt the surge of cultivation in their bodies, showing signs of breakthrough.
Several of them have entered the first realm of heaven and humanity in the past. If they make further breakthroughs, they can cultivate their Yin bodies, enter the second realm of military strategists, and become useful generals.
That afternoon, Huo Qubing was sitting in the Forbidden Army Hall, checking the list of generals under his command.
Zhang Cigong has just been promoted to the three realms of heaven and man, reaching the formation level.
He himself is also a lieutenant in the Northern Army and the third-in-command in the entire Forbidden Army system.
Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Cigong can be regarded as one of the famous generals, and he is currently the first general under Huo Qubing.
Originally there was also Li Gan.
But Li Ganzheng was being wooed by the clan and put it aside.
Except for the two of them, King Tu Tu and King Hunxie have been under observation for more than a year after their surrender, and are now gradually being reused.
Among them, the chieftain King Tu used troops to maintain stability and was good at guarding.
King Hunxie's soldiers are fierce and capable of attacking cities and territories.
Secondly, Zhao Ponu can be trained as a future general.
At the lower level of captain, the choices are quite wide.
Zhao Anji, Chen Qing, Fu Luzhi, Yi Jiqiang, Yao Zhao, and Xiao Qisheng were all capable, able to conquer and dare to fight.
My own girl Xiong San also counts as one.
In addition, there are servants and friends, who are ignorant of Gao.
They were valued by Huo Qubing early on, and followed Fu Luzhi, Yao Zhao and others to fight in various places and accumulate experience. They have accumulated merit and been promoted to the rank of commander, and will be promoted to captain in the near future.
After Huo Qubing checked these generals, he wrote three words at the end of the list: Zhao Chongguo!
Zhao Chongguo, whose courtesy name was Wengsun, was one of the famous generals in the entire Western Han Dynasty, just like Zhang Cigong.
He was brave in military strategy and familiar with the habits of the Xiongnu and Di Qiang.
During the reign of Emperor Wu, Zhao Chongguo accompanied Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, to attack the Huns, led 700 strong men to break through, and was worshiped as Zhonglang. He has successively served as the commander of the chariot and cavalry general, the captain of the general, the captain of the general, the captain of Shuiheng, and the general of the rear.
He led his army to defeat the Di rebellion in Wudu, attack the Xiongnu, and even captured King Xiqi.
Zhao Chongguo was the most shining general of the Han Dynasty in the post-Huo Qubing era.
He is three years younger than Huo Qubing and is only sixteen now.
Huo Qubing said to Huo Guang, who was standing straight and upright on his first day at work, "Go to Huben Camp and tell Zhao Chongguo to come over."
Huo Guang agreed and trotted out.
Counting Xiong San, there are exactly ten people under his command or who are about to become captains.
The generals include Zhang Cigong, King Hunxie, King Tu and Zhao Ponu.
Huo Qubing's eyes glanced at the names of several generals, and then looked at Bai Nanyu who was sitting behind a low seat on one side.
The light beige skirt has a slender waist surrounded by a lavender brocade belt, showing an undulating and attractive figure. The hibiscus trailing shawl is embroidered with peach patterns. On the feet are cold emerald embroidered shoes, which are small and exquisite and can be held in one hand.
Her peach blossom eyes were drooped, her eyelashes were thick and slightly raised, and she was helping Huo Qubing organize the military memorials.
Bai Nanyu's beauty ranked firmly in the top two among the women Huo Qubing met, and her charm ranked first.
Footsteps were heard outside the hall, and sixteen-year-old Zhao Chongguo walked in with fanatical reverence in his eyes. He knelt down on one knee and presented himself with a great ceremony: "Zhao Chongguo, the commander of the Tiger Guards, has met the great Sima!"
"According to the reward records sent by Huben, you are not only the first in terms of the number of enemies killed in these two battles, but also the elites under your command are also brave in battle, ranking first among Huben.
What’s rare is that it can win the title several times. "
Zhao Chongguo's face flushed with excitement.
He is very strong, with a square face and bright eyebrows. Although he is young, he already has a somewhat capable and capable demeanor.
"In the end of the year promotion, you will become a music commander. I called you here because I want to ask you which direction of military training you are good at?"
Zhao Chongguo was overjoyed to know that Huo Qubing wanted to personally teach him how to practice.
At the end of the day, Huo Qubing returned home at night, his ears slightly twitching, and he heard someone making noises in the back house.
