After the Han army won a complete victory in the Battle of Hexi, the Xiongnu had to retreat to the north of Yanzhi Mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Huns, who regarded themselves as the overlords of the grassland, were defeated and retreated, and finally sang a desolate and sad song of grievances: "The death of my Qilian Mountain has made my six animals not rest; I have lost my mountains, and my women have no color. ”

However, once the Xiongnu cavalry broke through the border counties of the Han Dynasty, countless border Han people lost their lives under the scimitars raised by the Xiongnu cavalry, without even having a chance to plead.

The red blood soaked the earth, the flames soared into the sky, and countless women and children were brought back to the Xiongnu to be sold as livestock.

For seventy years, for seventy years, the people on the long border of the Han Dynasty have lived such a hellish life.

They worked hard, worthy of heaven and earth, innocent, but they were just fat sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of the Hun cavalry.

Now the resentment of the Huns is nothing more than a ridiculous moan of innocence in front of the dead souls.

Hopefully, they will finally be able to reincarnate with tears in their hearts.

As for those in later generations, who shouted that the Han-Hungarian War could not be fought at all, thinking that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man who was a great accomplishment and a reckless soldier, but he was not in the situation and criticized the gains and losses with a lofty mentality.

If they can really open the "Book of Han" and look at the historical facts that are soaked with blood and humiliation, they will understand that the Han-Hungarian War is just an arrow on the bow and has to be sent.

"The Huns entered the upper valley and killed the people...... The Xiongnu entered Liaoxi and killed Taishou; entered Yuyang and Yanmen, defeated the captain, and killed more than 3,000 people...... The Xiongnu entered Shanggu, Yuyang, and killed more than 1,000 people...... Xia, the Xiongnu entered the dynasty and killed Taishou; entered the Yanmen Gate and killed more than 1,000 people...... In the summer, the Xiongnu entered the dynasty, Dingxiang, and Shangjun, killing thousands of people...... In autumn, the Huns killed thousands of people in Dingxiang and Yunzhong......"

Do these innocent civilians deserve this bloody nightmare? Should I be displaced? Is the family ruined? Should I be a slave?

No, no!

I hope that future generations can truly be proud of the iron-blooded man after being saddened by the snot Song Song who was beaten by gold.

You must know that there is never a perfect way, and you cannot hope for humiliating peace in exchange for weakness.

How sad is it for a country and a nation to lose its fearless blood? How terrible is it?

Magnificent man, cheer up his majesty!

After this battle, the Han finally recovered the Hexi Corridor as he wished, opened the road to the Western Regions, cut off the connection between the Xiongnu and the Qiang people, and created conditions for the future battle of Mobei.

The Xiongnu lost more than 80,000 people in only one year in the second year of Yuanzhen, and it must be known that the Huns were all people, and such a large loss of vital forces dealt a very serious blow to the Xiongnu.

After the Battle of Hexi, there were no Xiongnu in the vast area from Jincheng to Qilian Mountain and then to Yanze.

Liu Che halved the border troops in Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun, and reduced the burden of taxes and labor on the common people by reducing military expenditures.

At the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains there is the largest horse farm of the Xiongnu, and this vast and boundless horse farm will be used by the Han from now on, providing military horses to supplement the needs of the Han-Hungarian war.

After the war, Huo Qu was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and Huo Quai's military exploits were served by 5,000 households, and most of his subordinates were also awarded marquis.

It's just a few happy and a few sad, although Li Guang, who is full of ambition and longs for the title of marquis, is brave and unmatched in the battle, and his command is determined, but the whole army is almost wiped out, and there is no reward for the merits and demerits.

Zhang Qian and Gongsun Ao were even more convicted of being executed by Tingwei for failing to meet on time, and they were redeemed with property by the grace of the Son of Heaven, so that they could become concubines.

In such a gloom, the light of Huo Quai's young hero became more and more dazzling.

Everyone in the world knows the brave and unparalleled Huo Hussar, and how many girls secretly admire it.

Compared with his cautious and humble Wei Qing, Huo Quai, who was excited and jumped, was more loved by Liu Che.

He saw his young self in Huo Quai.

Because of this love, Huo Qubing has been summoned almost every day since he returned to the court.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hui'er pestered Huo Quzhi to teach him riding archery.

In his opinion, no one's riding and archery skills are as good as his sick brother.

Yuan Wei was urged by Gillian to practice the piano, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to learn together.

What's more, the seven-year-old princess has already begun to love beauty, and she doesn't want the scorching sun to tan her skin.

But listening to the movement in the court, she was a little itchy.

was distracted, and frequent mistakes were made, causing Gillian, who was reading under the south window, to frown at her.

Yuan Xuan simply stopped, leaned on the piano case and raised a smile and coquettish: "Queen Mother, it's too hot, can I rest for a while?" ”

Gillian still doesn't know if she is playful, and she lowers her eyes at the moment and doesn't look at her.

Yuan Hui ate a closed door, and he was a little unwilling.

"Mother, I've been playing all morning...... Just let me rest for a while......"

Gillian finally answered lightly and slowly raised her face.

Yuan Wei thought that there was a door, and was about to say a few words sweetly, "The queen mother is the best", when he heard Gillian say casually: "Go and tell your father——"

Yuan Xuan was immediately angry, her father favored her and spoiled her, but she was going to say that she didn't want to play the piano anymore, so he would only increase the amount of her with a cold face.

The cicadas in the treetops cried long and short, as if they were a little weak from the heat.

The stern voice of the sick brother came like nothing, and after a while, there was a burst of hearty and wanton laughter.

Yuan Xuan pouted and wanted to cry, but after seeing that Gillian was no longer paying attention to her, she swallowed the tears back again. With a little resentment, he was unwilling to pluck the strings, and his heart was full of remorse: I knew that learning the piano was so difficult, so I didn't learn it.

She was angry and played a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" sonorously and powerfully.

Gillian still didn't care about her, and slowly finished reading the silk book in her hand before getting up and saying: "If you take learning the piano as a task, you can play this tune when you let you go out to play." ”

Regardless of Yuan Xuan's angry appearance, Shi Shiran went out.

After standing under the porch for a while, listening to the sound of the piano in the hall, Gillian smiled and walked away.

It is natural for children to be playful, but parents can't let it go and listen to it.

Fortunately, although Yuan Xuan is favored and has some arrogant temper, it has not reached the point of being too serious.

Otherwise, she, the mother, would have failed too much.

Under the scorching sun, the lush ancient trees are scorched dark green and deep, and the cicadas cling to the branches and leaves of the treetops make long calls.

Occasionally, the wind blows, and it is also a smoky hot wind.

Gillian walked through this section of the corridor, and saw that Liu Che didn't know when he came out, and was standing under the corridor to watch Hui'er riding a horse.

She smiled and walked over, "Isn't it too hot?" ”

Liu Che wanted to laugh a little at what she said, "I'm not a child—"

He looked at the sweaty man in the court, "Besides, the children are not hot." ”

When it comes to willpower, many adults sigh at her tenacity.

But when Huo Quzhi, who was tall in armor, was called to the corridor by Liu Che, Gillian looked at him and quickly took off his youth and shyness, and his young and handsome face felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

After Huo Quzhi became famous in the first battle, many people still complained sourly behind their backs, why didn't they win the favor of the Son of Heaven?

This kind of bastard talk has even been heard of by Gillian, let alone in the market.

These people really think that the war is as easy as a child's play, if it is really so simple, Gaozu would not have been defeated by Bai Deng, the Han family would not have suffered seventy years of humiliation, and famous generals such as Li Guang would not have died with hatred.

Not to mention anything nonsense, Huo Quai's illness is just lucky, and the fearlessness of just advancing alone into a one-sided strong enemy is something that many people will never be able to do.

And after the battle of Hexi came to an end, the unprecedented victory finally made all the doubts speechless.

The vast Gobi and the endless grasslands naturally added many difficulties to the Han army's operations.

And how difficult is it to fight a sports war with a large corps in such an environment?

But Huo Quzhi not only fought well, but also played very beautifully.

Liu Che and Gillian sighed and said that if they were to fight the Battle of Hexi with a different person, they would not have the high mobility of Huo Quzhi, but they were afraid that they would be killed by themselves before they met the Hun cavalry.

Just a roundabout and great depth is not something that ordinary people can play, otherwise Gongsun Ao would not have lost his way in wartime.

Not to mention its flexible and indifferent tactics, the Huns are afraid that they have not yet scratched their heads.

After the Battle of Hexi, no one can question Huo Quai's ability to lead the troops, and the fact that he used his meritorious deeds to teach the people of the world what it means to be a hero and a teenager.

Huo Quzhi's great success once again proved Liu Che's vision, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven became heavier.

Only Gillian listened to Liu Che's sincere words, the Han and Hungarian sides had fallen into a stalemate stage, and he was eager to break this balance of strength and expand his advantage.

And looking at the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, even Wei Qing, who has changed his declining trend, cannot satisfy Liu Che, he always feels that Wei Qing is more cautious and less fearless.

On the contrary, Huo Qu's illness made people look a little hopeful, so Liu Che took the risk of using the young Huo Qu's disease.

He had already prepared for the worst, and he could only withdraw from the Hexi Corridor and try to find another way.

However, genius is a genius in the end, Huo Quai, who had no experience at all on the battlefield, became famous in the first battle, and after the second battle, the Huns fled for their lives and handed over the Hexi Corridor.

He perfectly realized Liu Che's strategic intentions, and the powerful Xiongnu Empire began to turn from prosperity to decline.

Such a young talent, how can Liu Che not love it sincerely?

Liu Che looked at Huo Quzhi with a smile and said, "Let the champion Hou teach a child to ride and shoot, I feel that it is too big and useless." ”

Although he was joking, the meaning revealed in his tone clearly said what he wanted.

Huo Quzhi smiled freely, and he didn't mean to be like ordinary people who were sincerely afraid to say how fortunate it was to serve the prince.

"Your Highness has a good talent, and it is even more rare to have this perseverance."

If others said that Liu Che was proud of his son like this, he was afraid that he would have sunk his face a long time ago, but Huo Quzhi said that he only felt that he was pure in Akagi.

Liu Che patted Huo Quai's shoulder, very kind.

"Hui'er likes you to teach him, if you have time, you will teach, and if you are not free, you will refuse him."

Huo Quzhi smiled again, the killing intent between his eyebrows dimmed a lot, and the whole person softened.

He said softly: "His Highness is very speculative. ”

Liu Che paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "Go, go...... Let's go in and talk ......."

Huo Quzhi nodded, turned around and said to Hu'er on the horse, "Run a hundred more round-trips." He followed Liu Che into the Xuanshu Hall one after the other.

Gillian finished the task by guarding Hui'er under the corridor, and asked Yuan Huan to play the song in its entirety, and only let her out when she saw that she had improved a lot

The mother and son happily drank an urn of steaming sour plum soup in the side hall, and then went to the council hall.

*****

Huo Qubing was talking to Liu Che about the battle of Hexi, "If it is midsummer in Chang'an City, the minister thinks it is not very hot.

If you march in a desert area against the sun, the heat wave is blowing in your face, and there is nowhere to hide, such as entering a steamer.

Wearing thick armor all over his body, he was more and more stuffy.

Under the lack of horses and people, it is indeed not easy to march. ”

Liu Che sighed, this is asking for a favor for Gongsun Ao and others.

Young and famous, not arrogant or impatient, and can say two good words for colleagues and talk about their hard work, this kind of heart is really rare.

He had a better impression of Huo Quai, but he didn't say anything, he just responded and said that he knew.

Huo Qu's illness came to an end, and he talked to Liu Che about his worries: "The Huns can indeed fight, the people are fierce, and all the people are soldiers."

Ordinary herdsmen are cavalrymen with extremely high individual quality on war horses, and they dare not give them a chance to breathe. ”

Liu Che frowned slightly, and said with deep feelings: "Yes, the current victory is far from enough, we must beat the Huns to the point that they have no power to fight back, and they will be terrified when they see the military flag of my Han from afar." ”

When he said this, he took a silk book in his hand and handed it to Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi finished sweeping ten lines at a glance, and raised his head to look at Liu Che with some surprise.

"The two kings of Hun Evil and Hutu want to surrender to Han?"

Liu Che nodded, and said with a stumbling eyebrow: "I will never change the iron-blooded policy towards Hungary.

If I can divide it and minimize the damage to my big man, I will be more comforted. ”

After the Battle of Hexi, the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses and suffered great losses.

The Xiongnu Yizhi was full of anger and wanted to lean towards the two kings of Hun Evil King and Hutu King who had lost the battle, and wanted to summon and punish him.

The two kings were greatly frightened, thinking that the emperor of the Han Dynasty could tolerate even the military minister Shan Yu Yu Shan of the crown prince, so they simply decided to surrender to the Han Dynasty in desperation.

The battle of Hexi was fought by Huo Quai, and Liu Che intended to make Huo Qubing go to accept the surrender.

Huo Quzhi's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, these two Hun kings are known as 100,000 people, and the truth is uncertain, and the ministers are afraid of fraud. ”

Liu Che was a little indifferent, and laughed loudly: "You go, I don't worry." ”

Huo Quzhi's smile also brightened, "Your Majesty trusts, how dare the minister resign?" ”

A surrender that had a great impact on the Han and Hungarian relations was settled in a seemingly joking conversation between the monarch and the minister.

When Gillian led a pair of children into the hall, the two monarchs and ministers had already discussed the specific details.

Three days later, Huo Qubing led 10,000 light horsemen to surrender.

The surrender process was as expected by Huo Quai, and it was not very smooth.

Before the Han army arrived in Hexi, King Hutu suddenly changed his mind and refused to surrender to Han.

Although the evil king of Hun killed the king of Hutu and incorporated his people, the people's hearts were already unstable.

After the Han army crossed the Yellow River, some of the kings under the Hun evil king tried to flee when they saw that the Han army was marching in a tight and moderate manner, and they were afraid that the Han army would kill and capture them.

Huo Qubing made a quick decision, rushed into the camp of the Hun Evil King before the situation was completely out of control, and personally interviewed the Hun Evil King.

At the same time, more than 8,000 people who mutined and refused to surrender were beheaded by thunderous means, and the Xiongnu army was forced to stabilize by brazen force.

Then he sent someone to escort the evil king to Chang'an to see the Son of Heaven first, and Huo Qubing personally sat in the Xiongnu army and led the Xiongnu people to cross the Yellow River.

The Son of Heaven named the evil king of Hun as the Marquis of Luoyang, and placed the attached Xiongnu people outside the five counties of Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Shuofang, and Yunzhong County, called the "Five Subject States", and allowed them to retain their own customs and habits.

Huo Qubing made a decision on the spot in this surrender, once again showing his military talent, and the Son of Heaven once again ordered to seal 2,000 food for Huo Quzhi.

At this point, Huo Quai's reputation is on par with that of the great general Wei Qing.
