Chapter 461: The Great War is Imminent

In contrast, Xue Qing's team is much more luxurious than Liu Bang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt's just that these things are in the dark, and there is no way to take them out, after all, there are more and more Han troops from Loulan now, and many things are like returning to Han land. A lot of Heavenly Dao's activities were forced to move underground, and they were no longer as blatant as before.

Huo Quzhi was thinking about it, but when he saw the braised lion's head being brought up by Ruhua, his eyes lit up and he said, "Good guy, I just want to take this bite." Then he lifted his chopsticks and poked them down, poking up a lion's head and gnawing it.

Xue Qing said: "You slow down, there are still dishes." As he spoke, he poured him a jug of wine.

This meal was very satisfying. After a few burps, he still couldn't put down his chopsticks, and although this proud little general was so hypocritical that he had to bring a few cooks to the battle. But I don't care about what to eat at noon when the fight starts. Nor will they stop the whole army during the rapid march and spend two or three hours carefully roasting a leg of mutton.

No matter how hypocritical it is, it hasn't reached that point.

And this Northern Expedition, basically except for forced march, is forced march. So the great hussar general, who had eaten half-baked meat for a while, or else jerky and dry cakes, was about to lose weight.

Meimei ate a meal. Such as flowers, let people bring hot water. Several maids rubbed violently and rubbed two catties of old mud off Huo Quzhi's body. The whole soup was dyed black. I changed another jar of water and washed him up and down until he was white and red.

Xue Qing took the small clothes and gave Huo Quzhi to change it, and took the handkerchief to wipe his hair, and dried his hair. It was tied casually at the back. In those days, men's hair was longer than women's. Everyone has long hair, and there is no such thing as long hair and short knowledge.

I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the two hugged each other early on the soft couch, whispering that some parents are short, what Zhang Qian was pitted by Na Li Tuo Ci and is pregnant with a child. Aunt Princess Nangong was depressed in the Huns. I want to get her back or something. While chatting about family life, do something shameful. Sometimes it's a little more intense, and you forget what you just said.

Xue Qing was a little unbearable, but thinking that she hadn't seen each other for a long time, Huo Qu's illness would go to war again, and she would gather less and leave more. Don't hurry up and save it. Naritopyrene is pregnant. Shouldn't the old lady also hurry up and conceive one? How old are you this year? But I feel like I'm in good shape. Carrying a child should not be a problem.

After tossing in the middle of the night, Xue Qing fell asleep exhausted. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw Huo Quzhi holding himself in his left hand, but holding a document in his right hand and carefully studying the light by the couch.

Xue Qing asked in a daze, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ā€

Huo Quzhi yawned and said: "I have always wanted to go to the desert to find a decisive battle with the Huns, so I usually know the terrain and landforms, mountains and rivers over there." I didn't expect to suddenly run to the Western Regions. I don't know anything about the situation here. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will fight and catch blind. Why don't you take the time to find out? ā€

Xue Qing arched in his arms and said, "What's there, take Zhang Qian or Qiu Ping with you when the time comes." They're familiar with it. ā€

Huo Quzhi smiled: "There is no furrow in my chest, isn't it blind to fight, you go to sleep first, am I disturbing you to rest." Or I'll change places. ā€

Xue Qing grabbed his arm tightly, and arched into his arms again: "No, it's right here." "No, he fell asleep again.

Huo Quzhi yawned, picked up the document again and continued to read.

Early the next morning, Xue Qing lay in bed for a while,

When I got up, I found that Huo Qubing had already gone out with Zhang Qian to see the terrain. Dressed up in disguise, he and the guards dressed as caravans, wandering around for hundreds of miles.

Before the fight started, we couldn't see each other anymore. Xue Qing was speechless for a while, standing in the region and looking at heaven, who is working hard for whom.

In the next few days, Huo Qu didn't come back twice, and he came back with dirt again. The appearance of the wind and dust. Every time, the maids had to waste a lot of water to wash it off.

What should come is always coming. When Li Ying returned to Loulan in person, he told Xue Qing that the main force of the Xiongnu was approaching Loulan. Xue Qing knew that this war was inevitable.

In time, the burden of the follow-up 500,000 foot soldiers was relieved, and a little food and weapons and equipment were obtained. Emperor Wu barely supported the next stage of logistical supply. forcibly let Wei Qinghuo get sick and the two of them continued, and they were unwilling to do it if they didn't get some results.

At the same time, propaganda in the country has completely changed.

For this reason, the emperor personally returned to Weiyang Palace, convened a court meeting, and forged a front-line military newspaper, declaring that after repeated battles, the main force of the Huns had fled under the fierce attack of our Northern Expeditionary Corps. Leaving the royal court of the Holy Land behind, he scattered and fled for his life.

In the battle of the royal court, although he failed to capture the head of Yi Zhixian of the Xiongnu Dadanyu, he also harvested the head of the traitor Zhao Xin, and there were countless Xiongnu nobles.

After that, the Northern Expeditionary Corps continued to divide into two ways to launch a thousand-mile pursuit of the Huns who fled in the wilderness, and the emperor highly praised the great achievements of the Han army in the previous stage and encouraged the actions of the Han army in the next stage. Encourage the cavalry corps of the Han army to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and strive to eliminate the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Yizhixian himself as soon as possible.

Then it was the ministers who sang the praises of the emperor with flowers. The sycophant almost knocked over the roof of the Xuanmuro Hall. Zhuang Qingzhai and others, who knew the truth, were silent on the side. The heart is heavy. was swept by the emperor's sharp eyes, and he could only squeeze out a few unsatisfactory smiles. Dealing with the past.

The whole country was jubilant, and in everyone's opinion, this matter was really exciting. For hundreds of years, the Huns showed off their might at the border every year, and the soldiers approached Chang'an several times. Countless border people were worried as soon as they arrived in the autumn season of high horse fat, and even Emperor Wu was still in the border areas in the north, directly ordering the people to give up the cultivation of the land, concentrate on training and guarding against the Xiongnu, and fight when they come, even if they grab grain. It can be called a strong wall. At that time, Han Anmin, the imperial historian, was quite dissatisfied with this during the reign of the Northland, and forcibly ordered the people to go back to farming. As a result, the Huns really came, killed countless people and robbed the harvest. That Han Anguo can also be regarded as a talent who has been through the world and the earth for a long time, and when he encounters such a thing, he can only say who is unlucky.

But in addition to the celebration of the victory of the small people, there are also some people of insight who secretly expressed doubts about the words of the imperial court, saying that it was a big victory, so how many heads were killed, and how many Hun nobles were captured and killed? How many livestock were captured, how many soldiers and civilians were captured, why is there no data? (To be continued.) )
