On the outskirts of Chang'an, in the hunting ground in Shanglin Garden.

Dozens of knights, galloping on horseback, chasing their prey.

Sail! Sail! Sail! Sail! Sail!! Sail! Sail!

Huo Guang bent his bow and arrows, and suddenly exerted his strength, shooting an elk in the distance that could not escape.

He immediately burst out laughing, and the guards accompanying him immediately stepped forward and dragged the prey for him.

Looking at the elk that had been shot through the entire neck, bleeding incessantly, and still screaming, Huo Guang laughed, handed the bow to a young general beside him, and said, "He'er, how is this archery technique for father?" ”

Huo He said with a smile: "The father's divine power is still the same, and the son is obedient!" ”

"Huh!" Huo Guang smiled bitterly and said, "After all, it's not as good as the eldest brother!" ”

At the beginning, he once followed his brother Huo to get sick, hunted in the forest garden, and saw his brother Shenwei with his own eyes.

That's really a hundred shots, no false hair!

Following his brother, Huo Guang was a little distracted and sighed.

Huo He looked at it, and also lowered his head, he knew very well that his father liked to be associated with his late uncle, Jing Henghou, the champion of the Han Dynasty, in everything.

It's a pity that the world makes people, and for more than 40 years, they have been trapped in Chang'an.

The sword is empty, and the sword is idle.

Therefore, I have been depressed.

"Father, son heard that Tingwei and brother-in-law have returned to Beijing recently...... Huo He suddenly said: "I also brought back the Qiang people's movements......

"Yes!" Huo Guang nodded and said: "After Mingyou returned to Beijing last time, he returned to Lingjusai, and personally led the army, went deep into Huangshui to talk with the leaders of Zhuhuang Zhongyi, and crossed Huangshui, went deep into Qiangdi, and gathered the heads of the pro-Han people in Qiang Village......"

vertex

"It's already clear that the two major forces among the Qiang people, the prison sister Qiang and the feudal Qiang, have many changes, and Huang Zhongyi also has collusion with them!"

"Your Majesty Ming Youshu: On the side of the couch, how can Yi Di be allowed to sleep soundly? And in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is the righteousness of 'Da Rong has not come to the advance of the emperor', so the king should take the preemptive action, punish Qiang, highlight the power of heaven, and stabilize the four counties of Hexi! ”

"Your Majesty read it, and thought it was true, and he already wanted to use the army again in the summer and autumn of the next year to show the might of the Han family!"

This matter is also the biggest news in Jianzhang Palace at present.

For three consecutive days, the Son of Heaven summoned the generals and military meritorious princes in Beijing.

The Shaofu was ordered to make a sand table in the Huangshui area for preliminary deployment and deduction.

More direct evidence comes from the order given by the Son of Heaven to Dasi Nong - the military rations hoarded in Longxi and Beidi counties were transferred to Lingju.

He also ordered Shaofu to prepare 3,000 horses of vinegar cloth and 100,000 stones of dry food for military supplies.

And for the nobles of the Han family, this is undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky thing.

Many people are already fighting for this matter.

The sons and daughters of the Wang family were also involved.

No way, in the world's impression, there is no opponent that is easier to deal with than the Qiang people.

In Yuan Dingzhong, the general Li Xi only led the county soldiers and cut down the total number of Qiang rebels as high as 150,000.

Therefore, everyone thinks that as long as they bring the elite field army over, it must be as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

Although, this thing is rare and expensive.

The Qiang people's head is the most worthless in military merit.

Even the horses of the Huns, the chariot divisions of the Western Regions, the heads of the Pu kingdoms and the Qiuzi people are worth more than the Qiang people.

Five Qiang heads can top one Xiongnu head.

But there are many Qiang people!

Moreover, it is rumored that in the Qiang army, men and women are mixed, and after a battle, in addition to beheading, women can also be enslaved.

Although the Qiang female slaves are in the Han realm, they are also the least valuable.

However, it is better to have more than that!

And even if you can't sell it, you can give it as a reward to the slaves and maids at home!

Therefore, now Chang'an City is full of indignation.

Everyone is fighting bravely, and they all want to grab the thing that goes out to Huangshui.

Especially after the Xu family was also involved, it was even more so!

There's no way, even the Xu family thinks they can make a profit, who will have scruples?

It's like a school in later generations, where the teacher wrote a question on the blackboard, and even the last student in the class was eager to try it.

What else do others need to say?

Huo He listened, too.

He looked at his father cautiously and asked, "Why doesn't father ......?"

Huo Guang turned his head, glanced at his stupid son, and did not speak.

If he is willing to lead the army, where will it be the turn of others to take the lead?

But......

He couldn't, and he didn't dare!

It's just that he can't tell Huo He about these things.

Huo He looked at his father's expression and knew what his father meant, but he was still unwilling and said, "Father, my Huo family is a ...... with military merits."

"Uncle first, champion Jing Henghou, God is mighty, and the world admires him, but the son thinks that his father is strategic, and he is no less than his uncle!"

"If the Lord leads the troops, it must be ......"

Huo Guang listened, but shook his head and interrupted Huo He's words, and said: "The erector is ignorant, talking nonsense about the ancestors and elders, and after going back, he will kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect for three days!" ”

Huo He only then realized that his fart had slapped the horse's leg.

Hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "My son is reckless, please forgive me!" ”

I also felt a little remorseful in my heart, and secretly hated myself for not choosing my words, and actually committed my father's taboo!

But he also has no choice, since his mother Huo Xian took the throne, he officially became the eldest woman of the Huo family, originally this son was expensive by his mother, and he should be the son of the Huo family.

However, Na Cheng thought that it was all until his mother died, and Huo Guang did not say that he would help him to take the position and determine his status.

He thought of behaving well in front of his father in order to meet his father's expectations.

What Cheng thought, but he ran into the taboo of his father.

Now it's good!

Huo and the sullen horses left.

Huo Guang looked at the back of this son, shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "After all, it is unbearable!" ”

This stupid son doesn't want to think about it, he Huo Guang wants to lead the troops to the battle, why should he pick up the cheap?

Again......

Are the Qiang people so easy to deal with?

If this is the case, the Qiang of the West Sea should be conquered now!

"But......" Huo Guang thought to himself, "I can use this matter to manipulate it well......"

As the prime minister, Huo Guang understood that in fact, this matter was completely hyped up by his son-in-law Fan Mingyou and Zhang Anshi.

The intention, of course, is to make military achievements!

Based on his observations, the Son of Heaven was also willing to do so.

After all, there is only one leader of the Han army today - Zhao Chongguo.

That's not a good thing for the Han family.

Supporting another general who is on a par with Zhao Chongguo is naturally the proper meaning of the question.

It's just that the last candidate Li Ling was overshadowed, which made Zhao Chongguo dominate to this day.

Now, the Han family has a new choice.

Whether it is public or private, the Son of Heaven will not choose others.

And that's a good thing!

Especially for Huo Guang, it is the best thing.

Balancing the situation is the prime minister's responsibility.

What's more, the battle ahead is quite stable, and when the Huns are cleaned up, they will be dealing with the Qiang people once and for all.

After that, the immigrants turned Hexi into an inner county and continued to suppress the Xiongnu, which was the proper meaning.
