Chapter 019: Huo Shao asks for battle
The morning outside the plug is exceptionally refreshing, the air is filled with a smell of earth and vegetation, and a slight chill, the endless grassland outside the Great Wall is like a racecourse full of life, bustling cattle and sheep leisurely eating grass, after a night of growth, some grasshopper tender teeth have just been revealed, a few grasshoppers are jumping up and down in the grass.
In the Han camp within the Great Wall, thousands of soldiers are practicing, military songs and drill sounds in the side plug back, although there is a slight chill in the side plug, but they still get up relatively early, some shirtless to practice martial arts, some ride war horses to practice equestrianism, and some in groups of three or five to practice formations, increasing the tacit understanding between comrades-in-arms.
Huo Qubing didn't sleep all night last night, he has been standing outside the tent, just like he followed Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty back then, he was more upright and professional compared to the two guards guarding the big tent next to him, but his eyes kept looking at the deepest part of the grassland, I don't know what he was pondering, let alone what he was thinking, maybe he was thinking about the things in Shanggu County.
"Okay, okay, the general stays, and the last generals will definitely hurry up the drill after they go back......"
The generals' meeting of the generals finally ended, one night, a whole night, which made Huo Qubing really eye-opening, in the past in the Chang'an Yulin Army, even if it was to quell the chaos, he had never worked so hard, looking at the generals each with a black circle, Huo Qubing admired in his heart: "Is it about to pull out the plug?" After speaking, he looked in the direction of the Huns.
Looking at Huo Quzhi's expectant look, several veterans also took the opportunity to look over, the endless grassland, and then some smiled and some shook their heads, their feelings were too much.
"Huo'er, you think too much, it's not like you to march and fight!" After saying that, Hou Gongsun Ao left with a smile.
Seeing that all the generals were looking at him with an inexplicable look, Huo Quzhi was a little confused, he turned his head to look at Li Guang, the flying general who was walking at the end, and then quickly followed: "General Li, General Li, are you going to send troops to Shanggu County?" ”
At this time, the Heqi Hou Gongsun Ao, the Taifu Gongsun He, the Marquis Zhao Xin, the Weiwei Su Jian, the Right Neishi Li Fu and others happened to walk to the camp, as if someone knew them, they all stood on their feet and chatted, and the general Wei Qing also heard the news.
"Yes, the war is about to break out, and it is not by chance that King Zuoxian of the Huns sent troops to Shanggu County at this time." Saying that, Li Guang touched his beard as he walked and continued: "We must send a team into the upper valley to cooperate with Taishou Jiang Yuan to contain King Zuoxian." ”
"How about I?" Huo Quzhi didn't know where the excitement came from after hearing it.
At this time, the two also walked to the place where the generals talked, it turned out that the person who came was Qingyang Ling Tianci, who was sent by Prime Minister Li Cai, of course, the army must not be less grain and grass first, Li Cai's efficiency is indeed high, and in just a few days, the whole country was mobilized to gather enough rations for five days after the 100,000 troops went out of the fortress, of course, there is no problem if it is not out of the fortress, because there are still a lot of hoards in the Han Dynasty in northern Xinjiang.
"Uncle, let me lead the troops to Shanggu County!" Huo Quzhi obviously didn't have time to greet and pay attention to the people sent by Prime Minister Li Cai, so he directly found Wei Qing, the general who was inspecting grain and grass.
Seeing that Huo Qu was sick and eager to fight, Wei Qing actually understood, young man, who was not ambitious after arriving in Northern Xinjiang, he sighed with the rice transported from Chang'an in the palm of his hand and said: "Huo'er, you have to be calm!" ”
"Everyone has hit our doorstep, and more than 1,200 people in five villages and three villages in Shanggu County were killed in one day." Huo Quzhi obviously reached the point of being very indignant about the atrocities of the Huns: "Uncle, give me a team of men." ”
Looking at Huo Quzhi's angry expression, Wei Qing could feel his excited heart, put down the rice in his hand, patted Huo Quzhi's shoulder, and then looked at General Fei Li Guang on the side and said: "Uncle is not a blow to your confidence, it's just that this leading troops to fight is not child's play, you have a lot to learn when you first arrive!" ”
Huo Quzhi didn't understand what his uncle meant, his uncle had loved him very much since he was a child, but why didn't he worry about himself in these things, he used to be a captain of Yulin Military Academy, and his disappointed little eyes revealed that he was not convinced.
Seeing Huo Qubing leave disappointed, General Fei Li Guang touched his beard and couldn't help but smile and said to Wei Qing: "Hey, I still remember that when the little Li Dang first arrived at the barracks, he was like this, but it's good to have experience and experience." ”
"I want to give him a team of men, but I'm really worried, seventeen years old, I've never been in the military camp outside the Saiwai, and I have to lead thousands of soldiers, you ......" Wei Qing really couldn't think of any reason to convince him to give him the team.
"General, why don't you have any other problems, the official will leave first, and the prime minister is still waiting......" Qingyang Lingtianci, who was escorting the grain and grass, said goodbye to the general Wei Qing: "The next 10,000 loads of grain and grass will arrive in five days, and then please send someone to respond!" ”
"There is Lao Qingyang's order." Wei Qing is so polite to everyone.
After sending off Qingyang Ling Tianci, the general Wei Qing waved his robe and walked quickly towards the Chinese military tent, and at this time, the flying general Li Guang also followed quickly: "The last general feels that the grassland climate is not very good these days. After speaking, the two of them looked outside the Great Wall at the same time: "You can send troops to attack and harass first, first, to explore the reality of Yi Zhixian, and second, to let the soldiers enter the battle state in advance." ”
Li Guang's words touched Wei Qing's heart, in fact, they had studied this matter when it was almost dawn this morning, but they had never made up their minds, Li Guang's words once again made Wei Qing firm in this idea.
Looking at the fickle climate of the grassland, Wei Qing turned his head to look at the Han banner flying high and said firmly: "Li Guang listened to the order, immediately organized an army of five thousand, and chose the day to go out." After speaking, Wei Qing's words softened again: "Let's make a tentative wave first." ”
"The last general is ......," Li Guang responded.
While walking, Wei Qing and Li Guang also discussed the specific details of the tentative wave, but as soon as the two of them walked behind the handsome tent, they saw Huo Quzhi sitting alone on the city tower looking out of the Great Wall, the red tassel on his head was blown messily, and the single-hook gun placed next to him stood quietly, lonely and silent, he kept dragging a piece of grass in his hand, without a trace of expression on his face.
Seeing that Huo Qu's illness had become like this, General Fei Li Guang was also drunk, he patted Wei Qing on the shoulder and said, "Since he wants to lead the troops to fight so much, the last general thinks that you should give him a hundred people to." ”
"Hey! Seventeen years old, what can you! Wei Qing still didn't have hope for Huo Qu's illness, but he couldn't bear to let his young heart hurt, after all, he had come over like this and was young, so he shouted: "Huo'er, you come down!" ”
Huo Quzhi stood up when he heard this, and his face that was still disappointed and lost just now suddenly became active again, and he jumped down from the city tower directly with his right hand, which was comparable to the Hun assassin Kazar.
"You go and take over the avant-garde battalion!" After saying that, Wei Qing smiled on his face, and then turned to the handsome tent.
"The last general commands!" Huo Quzhi's heart began to burn again, looking at Wei Qing's distant back, he quickly followed the flying general Li Guang, who was about to leave, and asked, "General Li, what is the avant-garde battalion?" ”
"The avant-garde battalion is the elite of our middle route army, you have to take it well!" After speaking, Li Guang turned around and galloped away across the horse.
The avant-garde battalion, the elite of the middle route army, this can make Huo Quai's illness miserable, at this time everything is not a matter in his mind, he can't wait to immediately run to the deputy general Zheng Tianjun to go through the formalities .......
