Chapter 619: Li Guang's Death
Huo Qubing became famous in the first battle and became a great hero of the Han Empire, and also became a new favorite in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
However, the most commendable thing about Huo Qubing is that he is not a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility, but puts the family and the country in the first place in his heart, once Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Huo Quzhi: "Xiao Huo, I bought you a big villa in the capital, more than 1,000 square meters, standing in the villa, you can directly see the Tiananmen Tower." ”
Ahem, maybe there was no Tiananmen Tower in Chang'an at that time, in short, that means, the location of this villa is quite good, super stylish, many people like it, but I didn't give it to anyone, so I gave it to you, which shows that this leader is very good to you?
When Huo Quzhi heard this, he first expressed his gratitude to the boss, "Thank you boss for your love, thank you boss for cultivating me over the years, and the boss's heart, I Xiao Huo received it, but I can't want this villa." ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was curious, "Don't you want it for Mao?" Do you make it? It's too late for others to rob it, why don't you be discouraged? ”
Huo Quzhi said the most famous sentence in history: "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home?" ”
It means that the Xiongnu who threaten our Han Empire have not been completely wiped out, so how can I think about my small family first?
That is to say, in Huo Quai's heart, the interests of the country are always greater than his own interests, and this kind of mind and mind is destined for him to achieve a great cause.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Huo Quzhi to find a good way to deal with the Huns, which was also a problem he accidentally discovered when he attacked the Huns last time.
Huo Quzhi found that although the Huns were very capable of running. But. Nor are their cattle incapacitated. Every spring and summer, when the water and grass are abundant, that is, the season when the livestock are fat and strong, mating and giving birth.
If the army is sent at this time, those cattle and sheep will be frightened and abort, resulting in a great reduction in the number of cattle in the coming year, for the nomadic people. That is food, if there is less food, they will inevitably go crazy, and after they go crazy, there are only two ways to go, either grab or starve.
First of all, the Huns are not monolithic, they also have several tribes within them, if you rob them. The first is the robbery between the tribes, which belongs to dog-eat-dog. This is what the Han Empire likes to see, and there is also a kind of robbery, that is, they work together to rob the common people of the Han Empire.
And this is the effect that Huo Quzhi wants to achieve.
Although in the early days of the Han-Hungarian War, the Han Empire was always on the defensive, the defense of the Han Empire was not pure defense in the general sense, but an active defensive posture.
What is an active defensive posture?
That is to say, I will open a cloth bag mouth array to you on the border, on both sides of the cloth bag mouth are the army of the Han Empire, and at the bottom of the cloth bag mouth are the villages and towns of the Han Empire, that is, the little fat sheep in the eyes of the Huns.
If you want to grab the little sheep, then you can let the horse come in and try, if you are lucky, you can indeed grab a handful, but if you are unlucky, when you come to grab the little sheep, the Han army suddenly tightens the pockets, you can't get out, you can only steal the chicken and turn your head.
Therefore, this defensive posture made the Huns very jealous, and many times, after the Huns arrived at the border of the Han Dynasty, they did not dare to continue to go deeper.
This mentality of the Huns was also fully reflected in the Li Ling incident, when Li Ling took 5,000 infantry to fight against the Huns, this guy was a little bit back, originally wanted to play soy sauce, but as a result, he encountered the main force of the Huns.
Tens of thousands of Hun cavalry dealt with Li Ling's 5,000 infantry.
Imagine what a disparity this is, but the result is that tens of thousands of elite Huns, facing Li Ling's 5,000 infantry, were beaten to the ground, and they didn't gnaw Li Ling's hard bone for a long time.
The Huns are not convinced, I have so many elite cavalry, I can't beat you? I don't believe it!
As a result, the Huns fought and chased all the way, and Li Ling retreated while fighting, and finally reached the border dozens of miles away.
At this time, the Huns were a little afraid, so they wanted to withdraw their troops and not pursue.
This is because they have suffered the losses of the Han Empire before, so when they see the border of the Han Dynasty, they have a headache.
However, Li Ling should be unlucky, one of his adjutant surrendered to the Huns, and as a result, this guy sold Li Ling, he told the Huns that the reason why Li Ling is awesome is because of his good equipment and position, although you are very good, but when you meet a lewd flow like Li Ling, you have no move.
However, no matter how good the ADC is, it also needs a supply of ammunition, Li Ling is running out of ammunition, as long as you continue to chase at this time, a big move to keep up, you can definitely take Li Ling away.
The king of the Huns listened to this guy's suggestion, led his troops to chase after him, and sure enough, he captured Li Ling.
really responded to that sentence, not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.
Of course, we want to talk about Huo Quai, not the unlucky Li Ling.
Huo Quzhi's defense strategy was to let the cavalry of the Han Empire take the initiative to attack and harass during the season when cattle and horses gave birth in the grassland, so that the production of the Huns would be disturbed, and then arrange ambushes on the border, take the initiative to defend, and wait for the Huns to drill the trap.
As a result, this tactic does not need to be known, and it is used in super seconds.
After such a toss by the Han Empire, the Xiongnu reduced the production of livestock and greatly damaged the living materials.
Huo Qubing took advantage of the weakness of the Xiongnu and immediately wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, telling Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that it was a good time to send troops to completely destroy the Xiongnu, and asked to send a large army to give the Xiongnu the final fatal blow.
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was quite happy, so he ordered Huo Qubing to lead tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry to attack the Xiongnu, in order to fight this decisive battle, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also did not hesitate to send dozens of generals of the Han Dynasty, including the flying general Li Guang.
However, Li Guang's role this time was to play a trick, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Li Guang to attack from Youbeiping, the purpose was to distract Li Guang from the enemy, so that Huo Qu could be surprised by the Xiongnu court from the west.
This is a good idea, however, no one expected that Li Guang was also an unlucky child with a little back, the emperor let you go on the road, attract the attention of the other party, and didn't let you send people to the head, as a result, Li Guang's buddy may feel that he is out of position, skilled, and the other party has done it, it doesn't matter, if you don't pay attention, you were caught by someone else's jungler, Li Guang is not good at fighting, hurry up and flash people, but unfortunately those little soldiers have given experience to others in vain.
After Emperor Wu of Han heard the news, do you think he can not be angry?
Li Guang also knew that he had gone too far, a diamond-level god, but he was overshadowed by two bronze third-stage rookies from others, and he felt very shameless, so he committed suicide by wiping his neck with a knife. (To be continued.) )
