The Xiongnu Zuoxian King galloped for two or three hundred miles in Dai County and then went away, and when the Han Fourth Route Army arrived in the border county, when Gongsun Ao arrived in Dai County, the Hun cavalry had already disappeared. According to the predetermined plan, Li Guang took the route of Yanmen, Gongsun Ao took the route of Daijun, Gongsun He took the route of Yunzhong, and Wei Qing took the route of Shanggu, and together they went out of the Great Wall and jumped across the border to fight the troops of the Huns.

The four-way army attacked separately, and the strength was naturally scattered, and it was easy to be broken by the Huns who were familiar with the steppe. It is not so much that Liu Che wants his generals to achieve a big victory this time, but that Liu Che wants to see who of his generals is suitable for his strategic proposition of "taking the initiative to attack and seeking the enemy to fight", so it is said that the Han army's expedition this time will give Liu Che the meaning of choosing the main general of the Huns to fight against the Huns in the future is greater than the battle itself.

After all, it's a completely new mode of warfare. Without trying to fight, there is no way to know who is suitable for this kind of combat thinking and can lead the Han army to fight against Hungary in the future.

The news of the Han army's four-way expedition with great fanfare reached the grassland, and it was grasped by the military minister Shan Yu for the first time.

At this time, the military minister Shan Yu had already left the court of the Xiongnu and led the army to the Zuoxianwang tribe, which was closest to the northeastern border of the Han Realm.

"This time, the Han soldiers jumped over the Great Wall in four ways and came to my desert territory, how should we act? Please place a large order below. In King Zuoxian's tent, King Zuoxian asked his military minister Shan Yu.

"Although the Han army is divided into four routes, we don't need to pay attention to their intentions, in my eyes, this time there is only one person in the Han army's leading general who deserves our serious attention." The military minister Shan Yu sat on the royal chair that King Zuo Xian usually sits, and said with a relaxed face, "That's Li Guang." The other generals, who were either nobodies or the nepotism of the Han emperors, were not worth our attention at all. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and beat Li Guang!" King Zuo Xian did not give way.

"No, you're not alone." The military minister showed a meaningful smile on his wrinkled face, and said, "Zuo Da Danghu and Zuo Gu are waiting to fight Li Guang with you, you will fight Li Guang with four times the strength of Li Guang, and you must defeat Li Guang fiercely." Let the Han people know that the flying general in their eyes is not worth mentioning at all in front of our warriors of the Great Huns! In this battle, we must ruthlessly extinguish the morale of the Han people, and let them know that the anger of the Great Huns is not something they can bear! ”

"I understand, Da Dan Yu can rest assured, I will definitely take that Li Guang'er's life!" King Zuo Xian is confident.

The military minister Shan Yu stepped down from the king's chair and said to King Zuo Xian word by word: "Find Li Guang and kill Li Guang!" Others don't need to pay attention. ”

……

At that time, Li Guang, who was famous, had already arrived at Yanmen, and the army was stationed by the Great Wall, and when the soldiers were rested, Li Guang would lead the army to jump over the Great Wall and start the first battle in his life to go deep into the desert.

"Follow me Li Guang to fight, nothing else, the sergeant must eat well and sleep well! It is very important to sleep well, only when the sergeant sleeps enough, he will have the strength to go to the battlefield, and a good night's sleep is more powerful than eating a sheep. Eat enough before the war, sleep enough, and when you get to the battlefield, as the main general, where is there a battle that you can't win! Li Guang took Li Xi to inspect the makeshift camp, and the two said as they walked.

"Follow the general, naturally don't worry about not winning the battle." Li Xi nodded and smiled, "When I was still in the valley a few days ago, it was like this. ”

"That's it!" Speaking of the days in Shanggu, Li Guang was also quite grateful, "Don't talk about Shanggu, this general is half a horse, and he has traveled to several counties on the border, and it can be said that every county has won the battle that my Li Guang has fought!"

Speaking of Shanggu, heh, I don't know how Qin Lang's kid is training now! On this expedition, I thought that His Majesty would call this kid and let him lead the army all the way to the expedition, but I never thought that there was no news of his expedition. ”

Speaking of Shanggu and Qincheng, Li Guang had some feelings.

"Maybe Qin Lang's qualifications are not enough, you must know that this expedition to fight in the desert is very important, and Your Majesty should also be cautious." Li Xi analyzed.

"No, it won't be that." Li Guang waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know about employing people, you don't like qualifications at all, you only value talents." This time, His Majesty would rather let Han Anguo be a material officer and general to ensure logistics and make room for Wei Qing, which illustrates this point. ”

"Then why didn't Your Majesty let Qin Lang also go on the expedition? Not to mention the use of the northern and southern armies, just the defenders of the upper valley are not worried about not being able to mobilize thousands of battleable cavalry to fight! Li Xi was puzzled.

Li Guang shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty's holy will is not something you and I can speculate about, for the Shanggu Tun Army, Your Majesty should have his own plans, and you and I don't need to worry about it." At the moment, it is most important for us to fight the battle in front of us. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xi emphasized, "What the general said is very true. ”

While the two were talking, Li Hu suddenly came over to report, "General, there is a letter from the sentry from Shanggu." ”

"Oh, where's the letter?" Li Guang was quite surprised and asked.

"The sentry said that it was a letter written by General Qincheng, and the general must be in front of him to hand over the letter." Li Hu said.

"Come with me."

When Li Guang and the three of them saw the sentry horse coming from the upper valley, the man was drinking water, and he looked like a dusty man. When the sentry saw Li Guang coming, he stepped forward and saluted: "I have met General Li, this is a letter from the general of my family." As he spoke, he handed over a small bamboo tube.

Li Guang took out the bamboo tube, took out the letter written in brocade silk, and looked at it fixedly, his face gradually became solemn.

"My general said, let me greet General Li on my behalf. He also said that General Li taught in the past, but the general did not dare to forget. This time, General Li led the army to the expedition, and his reputation was outstanding, and the Huns would definitely attach great importance to it in every way, and in order to defeat the Xiongnu together, General Li was expected to be cautious. After Li Guang read the letter, the sentry said respectfully.

"This kid, I haven't seen him for a few days, but it's taught me a lesson!" After reading the letter, Li Guang smiled, and seemed to be in an extremely happy mood, "Go back and tell your general that I will trust him as always!" ”

"Thank you, General!" The whistle rode and saluted, and then withdrew.

"General......" As soon as the sentry left, Li Xi asked with some curiosity.

Li Guang smiled mysteriously, leaned over, and whispered to Li Xi: "Ben will know what you want to ask, but the secret of heaven must not be revealed, haha!" ”

At the same time that Li Guang received Qin Cheng's letter, the other two Han army Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He also received the news from Qin Cheng, but unlike Li Guang, the news received by these two people naturally would not be written by Qin Cheng himself.

When they first received the news from Qin Cheng, Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao still felt inexplicable, but after reading the news sent by Qin Cheng, the two of them remembered that Liu Che told him that before the expedition, "When you arrive at the border of the Great Wall, someone will naturally send you and others what you need to you" refers to this meaning.

"Shanggu, Qin Cheng?" Different from Gongsun He's joy after receiving the news, although he was at a loss about how to fight after entering the desert after leading the army to the Great Wall, Gongsun Ao still sneered after reading the news handed over by Qin Cheng, and said to the people around him: "A vertical man, he dares to claim in front of us that he can provide us with the movement of the Hun army, it is really ignorant and arrogant!" He doesn't pee on his own virtues, and he can even say such things! ”

The deputy general was confused, and said in his heart that wouldn't it be a good thing if he really had such information, besides, he wouldn't dare to joke about this kind of thing, right? But because of Gongsun Ao's abnormal reaction now, he still had to ask: "General, what does Qin Cheng say?" ”

"This erector, who doesn't know the height of the sky, actually told the general where the Huns' army has arrived and where it is possible to go next! Who are the Hun cavalry, is it his relative? How could he, a small border county guard, dare to say that he could grasp the whereabouts of the Huns? It's arrogant to the extreme! Do you want to use this to direct the actions of my army? Is he a general of the Northern Expedition or a general? It's really annoying to me! Gongsun Ao said at length with disdain.

"Uh...... Your Majesty has a life ahead, and this Qin Cheng doesn't dare to joke about this kind of thing, right? The adjutant general said in a low voice, "And the last general heard that Qin Cheng has fought a few beautiful battles in Shanggu." ”

"Is he the only one who wins the battle, Qin Cheng alone, who hasn't won the battle? I think that when I was the acting county guard, he Qincheng was just an ordinary soldier under Li Guang, and the victory was also Li Guang's credit, how much does it have to do with him? Well, now it's okay that you're going to be trying to on my head in a few days? Gongsun Ao said disdainfully, looked at the deputy general, and said with gloomy eyes: "Also, don't forget, since Li Guang left Shanggu, this Qincheng has never fought with the Huns again!" ”

"This ...... But the last general is reckless, and everything is up to the general. The adjutant didn't dare to say more, so he had to say so.

Gongsun Ao snorted coldly, threw the brocade silk and the bamboo tube aside, and said, "Pass the order, the army will still jump over the Great Wall according to the original plan!" After that, he whispered to himself: "I don't believe that without his bullshit information, the general would not be able to fight the Huns!" ”

"No." The adjutant naturally nodded in agreement.

When the deputy general left, Gongsun Ao laughed bitterly at himself and muttered: "Who knows if this kid will hold a grudge against the day......

In other words, this Gongsun Ao was the first time Qincheng participated in the war against the Xiongnu, and when he was about to succeed in chasing and killing the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, he shot an arrow crookedly in Qincheng's vest in order to grab military merits, and almost took Qincheng's life......

In order to avoid this situation, he can only pretend not to believe in Qincheng's intelligence at all, and lead the army north to fight against the Huns!
