In the spring of 121 B.C., the Han hussar general Huo Qubing led a cavalry battalion of 10,000 soldiers from Shuofang to drive Longxi, and ordered the left general Wei Bu and the right general Li Dang to lead the scout battalion to start from Qiyang to drive Longxi, and the spring offensive in the Hexi Corridor was about to start.

After a few days of marching, Huo Qubing led the chariot and cavalry battalion to 50 miles west of Longxi County, but at this time, Wei Bu was still on the road with 10,000 scout battalions, and only walked 70% of the distance.

In the afternoon, after rushing to the Che Cavalry Camp in Longxi and setting up camp, Huo Qubing made them all sleep, the purpose was to raise their spirits to fight the Huns, and let these excited soldiers be quiet.

Tong Qiang...... Tong Qiang...... Tong Tong Tong Tong Qiang ....... ”

Huo Quzhi, who was thinking about the problem in the Chinese army, suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and it seemed to be accompanied by the sound of firecrackers.

Huo Qubing was wondering what was going on, and Khazar walked in: "General Yu, Longxi Taishou Wu Delin is here to work for the army!" ”

"Good!" Huo Quai's table slapped and then became excited: "Please!" ”

In the face of sudden condolences, Huo Quai's illness was overjoyed, since the decision to increase the food expenses for the car riding camp was made, the 10,000 people in the car riding camp were like a money swallowing machine every day, and the half-year military salary allocated by the imperial court was eaten clean in a month, and the 100,000 silver borrowed by Wei Qing was also eaten.

"Oh, Longxi Taishou Wu Delin meets the hussar general!" Wu Delin is a fat man, his face is white, anyway, he looks like he is living a peaceful life, and his hands are as delicate as a woman's hands.

"Lord Taishou has worked tirelessly, General Ben is really grateful and thankful!" Huo Quai's official words at this time were getting more and more similar, and after finishing speaking, he didn't forget to go out of the tent to see what Wu Taishou had sent.

Huo Quzhi was very satisfied with this, with herds of cattle and sheep, and ...... of pigs and horses.

After Wu Delin sat down, he said to Huo Quai: "I learned this morning that the general's army has entered the Hexi frontier, and my Longxi County has no special products....... ”

This is all a little bit, this can make Huo Qubing stunned, maybe Huo Qubing has never been a family before, this is a family to know how expensive this firewood, rice, oil and salt are, this group of cattle and sheep can at least make the army five days of military rations.

At the meeting, Wu Delin was full of praise for the young general Huo Quzhi, and Huo Qubing stressed that it was necessary to maintain good relations between the military and the people, and ordered the troops to make no mistakes in the autumn in Longxi.

Subsequently, the two consulted on other matters, accompanied by Khazar, Han Tong, Zhao Ponu, and Gao Buzhi.

Although he was guaranteed, he still didn't dare to eat and drink, until it was almost dark in the afternoon, when Huo Quzhi suddenly received a report from Qi Dong that the scout camp had an accident for food......

"What's going on?" Huo Quzhi couldn't believe his ears, the troops must remain stable at this time.

Qi Dong was more clever, so he said in 1510: "General, when you asked the captain of this school to go straight to Qiyang from Shuofang to supervise them, they began to fight halfway...... ”

It turned out that the scout camp was also because of the grain and grass, Prime Minister Li Cai's grain and grass guarantee was never in place, not only did the car riding camp not eat, but even the scout camp did not eat, but everyone didn't eat, but Li Kang's independent battalion had food, and that guarantee was no less than the three taels of silver that Huo Qubing added to the car riding camp at the beginning.

So in the face of this situation, Wei Bu stopped doing it again, Wei Bu said that Li Dare relied on his uncle to be the prime minister to protect his troops crookedly, and ignored the Wei Bu troops, you must know that Wei Bu led thousands of people, and this time there was a problem with the mood, that is a big problem, and Li Dang was not convinced, didn't you Wei Bu let us protect ourselves?

So the two of them fought halfway, so the march was slow.......

After listening to Qi Dong's report, this Huo Quzhi was extremely angry, these two people simply have no sense of the overall situation, and they are about to fight, and there is still a problem inside, think about it carefully, it was right to get them in Qiyang at the beginning, otherwise this car riding battalion will be affected by the two of them, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

General Qilie Gao didn't know how to arch his hand and said: "The general is angry, in fact, this can't be blamed on them, according to the reason, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the last general knows that this grain and grass seems to have started to be raised a few months ago, I don't know what ......." ”

"General Gao is right!" Han Tong looked at Gao Buzhi and said: "General, don't underestimate this grain and grass, if there is no grain and grass, we really can't do it in Hexi, the last general thinks it's better to hurry up and hurry up eight hundred miles." ”

"General, I think there must be something wrong with this." Fan Muzhu said as he walked to the middle of the big tent and looked at the crowd: "The contemptible people think that the matter of collecting grain in Hexi started a few months ago, and at that time, the general also reported 30,000 war horses. ”

Huo Qubing didn't know what was going on, in his opinion, maybe there was really a problem in the middle, the 20,000-strong army Chen soldiers were on the frontier, and they would start fighting when they started fighting, and even if they didn't fight, the daily consumption was considerable.

Just do it, this is the top priority, pick up the pen and write it casually, and let Tanma expedite Chang'an for 800 miles.

……

Huo Quai's urgent post arrived in Chang'an faster and was sent to the Longtai History Office, which was responsible for the collection of military and horse grain and grass in the imperial court.

Long Taishi also smiled coldly after receiving the emergency report of Huo Qu's illness, and then took the paper and sent it to Qingyang Ling Tianci, who was working part-time as a doctor in the court.

Tian Ci also smiled coldly after reading it, and then threw the post aside and said: "Hmph, he Li Cai has the ability, let him solve it by himself, the official is not so capable." ”

"Your Excellency!" Long Taishi looked at Tian Ci and said softly: "My lord, this is a hundred thousand urgent military information!" ”

Tian Ci smiled and said: "What's wrong with the military situation, didn't I implement it?" The War Horse Army Rations Commander is indeed actively collecting it now, and there is no dereliction of duty. After speaking, Tian Ci's face suddenly darkened: "This matter will come slowly, what are you afraid of, if the old man's son dies on the battlefield, I will be inseparable from him Li Cai." ”

It turned out that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che wanted to improve the blood of the Han Dynasty's ministers, Li Cai implemented the policy of "compulsory military service" among the princes and ministers, stipulating that the sons of the princes and ministers must have military experience.

Long Taishi asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Tian Ci blew the tea in the tea bowl and said: "What's the hurry, take your time, now the emperor is busy with the marriage of Princess Pingyang and Wei Qing, and his attitude towards Huo Quzhi is, let him casually, then take your time, anyway, they won't start fighting if the grain and grass don't arrive." After speaking, he looked at Long Taishi and said categorically: "The old man will impeach Li Cai tomorrow morning." ”

"He's the prime minister!" Takashi was surprised.

"Prime Minister! Hum! Tian Ci sneered, and then said: "He has already offended all the civil servants under his hands, where is the prime minister, he Li Cai really thought that he would come to harm other people's sons if he didn't have a son, and sooner or later he would be punished." ”
