Li Ling's expedition

On this expedition, Liu Che named Li Ling as a cavalry lieutenant and allocated him 5,000 men. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info 5,000 is a small number, but in terms of combat effectiveness, no one dares to underestimate it. Because almost all of the 5,000 people selected by Liu Che came from the land of Jingchu. Jing Chu's arrogant name has been famous all over the world since the pre-Qin era. The task that Liu Che gave to Li Ling was to lead these 5,000 soldiers who were not afraid of death to Jiuquan, Zhangye and other Han-Hungarian borders to train archery...

According to Liu Che's original plan, Li Ling was arranged to go with Li Guangli to fight the Xiongnu in May. However, Li Ling was very dissatisfied with this arrangement. The reason why this is so is because what Liu Che arranged for him was something that was very important in the war, but in Li Ling's eyes, it was not a good job...

That's the job: logistics! The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Therefore, logistics plays a pivotal role in warfare, and it has always been lifted. But in Li Ling's opinion, he didn't want to accept the job because he was very uncomfortable...

So what does Li Ling adapt to? It's simple: play as a striker! Do you remember how Li Guang died back then? He played as a striker all his life, but was arranged by Wei Qing to play as a defender. Li Guang was angry immediately, and then got lost inexplicably. When Wei Qing wanted to deal with him, he went up alone, drew his sword and committed suicide, ending his tragic life.

In order to inherit his grandfather's legacy and the supreme glory of the Li family, it is necessary for Li Ling to carry out the forward to the end! This is just one of the reasons why Li Ling wants to change the guard. I think he has a secret deep down. This secret is: Li Ling never thought of giving Li Guangli a hand!

As early as when he set out for Dawan, Li Ling had dealt with Li Guangli. At that time, Liu Che assigned Li Ling the assignment of leading troops to support Li Guangli. didn't expect Li Lingcai to lead the army out of the fortress, and Li Guangli came back, which made him very unhappy...

Li Guangli conquered Dawan twice, and Li Ling used one word to describe him: the best among the gangsters. Or it can be said in other words: the best of the best.

Isn't it? Two expeditions, one was beaten away, and the other was a crushing victory in exchange for absolute strength. Is this called promising? So instead of following a big gangster and being a small gangster, it's better to start a new one!

However, changing the guard is not a change of clothes, you can change it however you want. However, what kind of reason to convince the leader, Li Ling already has a bottom in his heart.

Li Ling found Liu Che and said, "The troops I lead are all masters of tiger archery. I am willing to lead an army by myself, drive directly to the south of Langan Mountain, and divide the Xiongnu forces, so that their main force will not be directed to the general of the second division" Liu Che laughed when he heard this. What is the young man in front of him thinking, can he escape his eyes? He has already seen that what is cutting off the Hun forces is all an illusion! The truth is: Li Ling's wings are stiff, and he wants to fly out and do it alone!

So, Liu Che asked Li Ling, "Do you not want to be a subordinate of the general of the second division?" Li Ling was silent. In fact, not answering is the best answer. Since everyone can find out the secret in your heart with one word, in the face of such a master, Li Ling does not need to argue and hide.

Then, Liu Che suddenly said another word to Li Ling. This sentence will change Li Ling's life. The original words are as follows: "I have a lot of troops, and I have no horses to you" translates to: I have transferred too many troops this time, but I don't have a horse to allocate to you...

As soon as these words came out, it showed that Liu Che had some interest in his heart. Li Ling was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately took over the words and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a horse, as long as you give me 5,000 infantry, I can also step on the Huns and Shan Yu Wangting" It's over, the cowhide is blowing!

No matter from which angle you look at what Li Ling said to Liu Che, it is indeed bragging. Of course, cowhide is not impossible to brag, and appropriate bragging can also add a bit of romantic legend to history. But if the cowhide is blown up, the already heavy history has to be filled with more tragic strokes...

Li Ling's goal was to lead 5,000 infantry to attack Shan Yu's lair. You must know that Liu Bangfa sent an expedition of 300,000 troops back then, and he also wanted to exterminate the Xiongnu in one fell swoop. But the result? almost died, relying on Chen Ping's secret plan to pick up a life and escape back. Look at Li Ling's grandfather Li Guang again. There are more bold people in the Han Dynasty, but there are really not a few generals like Li Guang who only have dozens of people but dare to cook tens of thousands of people. But throughout Li Guang's life, have you ever left the horse? No! War horses and archery are Li Guang's soul, without these two things, can Li Guang still laugh at the battlefield? Li Guang can't do without war horses, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing can't do without war horses. Li Ling's troops, like Huo Quai's troops, were all special forces of the Han Dynasty. However, if Huo Qu is sick and has no war horse, can he kill all the way to Wolf Juxu Mountain? Can he walk like the wind in the steppe desert? Can he establish immortal military feats?

Of course, today's Huns are no longer the Huns of the past, but the emaciated camels are also bigger than horses. The history of the Han people and the nomads for more than 2,000 years proves that no one dares to say that they can copy all the way to the other party's lair with infantry alone! If Li Ling can do it, then he must have reached the realm of earth-shattering ghosts and gods, and there are no ancients before and no one after him!

Facts have proved that war is cruel, history is rational, and bragging is taxable. It's just that Li Ling didn't expect that this cowhide tax was too serious, and it actually cost the life and honor of the entire Li family!

Back to the scene. Of course, Liu Che knew that Li Ling's words were bragging, so what was his attitude? What is surprising is that Liu Che agreed to Li Ling's plan.

Of course, Liu Che didn't want Li Ling to be sent to death. He may have agreed for the following reasons: 1. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Liu Che has always admired the fighting spirit of young people who are unstoppable and never admit defeat. Since Li Ling said okay, let him let go of his hands and feet to gamble; 2 In order to prevent Li Ling from encountering accidents, Liu Che also prepared a person to lead troops to support him halfway. Even if Li Ling fails, someone answers, and Li Ling can return with his whole body; 3 In addition to this, there may be a little secret that no one knows. At the beginning, Liu Che let Li Guang and Li Dang's father and son die unjustly for the sake of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, two relatives and generals. So Liu Che has always felt that he owes the Li family a big favor. Now it should be necessary to return this extremely guilty favor to Li Ling...

That's all I can do for you, young man... Go ahead! Liu Che thought that this time, no one owes anyone to your Li family and my Liu royal family!

However, fate is an invisible hand, which is pushing Li Ling step by step into an abyss of tragedy... Just when Liu Che thought that his plan was foolproof, there was a small accident!

Liu Che ordered Gongsun Ao to lead his troops out of Xihe County and join Lu Bode's army at Zhuotu Mountain in the territory of the Xiongnu. And Lu Bode is the person Liu Che arranged to pick up Li Ling. How's that guy? I believe everyone still remembers the scene of his previous conquest of South Vietnam. Lu Bode, an old man who has always been ashamed of paving the way for others, you asked him to answer Li Ling, a young man who is nothing? Unless the sow will go up the tree! If Lu Bode really worked for Li Ling, how would he mix in the rivers and lakes in the future?

But now that the boss Liu Che has greeted him, can Lu Bode not go? Since it is an old Jianghu, there is naturally a way to go through the old Jianghu. Lubod has come up with a clever plan, and this is drag! How to drag it? Lu Bode wrote to Liu Che: "It is autumn, and it is the time when the Xiongnu horses are fat, and it is not suitable to attack the enemy. I ask to stay with Li Ling until next spring, and then lead 5,000 cavalry from each of Jiuquan and Zhangye counties to attack the Xiongnu ambushed in Junji Mountain from the east and west, and it will definitely be successful."

I believe that if you were Li Ling, you would definitely be moved to know that Lu Bode would ask the emperor for cavalry for himself. But in fact, it's all fake!

Sure enough, those who know Liu Che are also Lu Bode. When Liu Che read Lu Bode's book, his reaction was to be angry! Why the rage? Very simply, Liu Che thought that Li Ling was scared, and he was begging Lu Bode to help him say good things. If you are afraid of death, why should you brag in the first place? Okay now, I'm ready to return you a big favor, and you don't want it again. Aren't you kidding me? Playing tricks on the Son of Heaven, how many heads do you Li Ling have?

Liu Che didn't know: the person who really played him was not Li Ling, but the old Jianghu Lu Bode. But it's too late. Because Liu Che is already ready to repair Li Ling!

First of all, Liu Che reassigned Lu Bode a new task: according to reliable information, the Huns invaded Xihe County. You immediately rush to Xihe with your troops, join forces with Gongsun Ao, and stop the Huns there!

After sending Lu Bode, Liu Che gave Li Ling another order: Set off immediately, and you can't stay for a moment! Your mission is to search for traces of the Huns from the Hulu Barrier (the castle built by Lu Bode) in Juyan County, Zhangye County, to Longleshui, south of the East Junji Mountain. If you can't find anyone, you will follow the old road of Zhao Ponu and return to the surrendered city. And report the situation along the way, with a fast horse! After finishing the task, Liu Che suddenly added, "Also: What did you say to General Lu Bode?" wrote it into the report and handed it to me, "It's over, even if Li Ling has a thousand mouths, he can't tell it clearly...

If you can't tell, let's save it for later. Li Ling knew that his cowhide had caused many misunderstandings in Liu Che. At this time, he had no way back except to rush forward!

In September, Li Ling set out from Juyan with 5,000 infantry. I walked north for 30 days and came to Junji Mountain. The first thing Li Ling did after setting up camp was to draw a map, and then send a fast horse to report to Chang'an. The person who went back to report the situation was called Chen Bule. He told the emperor that "the situation at the front is good, the morale of the soldiers is high, Li Ling is also optimistic, and everything is under the control of the Han army" Li Ling's intention was obvious, that is, to tell Liu Che: What I said was not bragging. Li Ling also knew that he could only report good news and not bad news. Because from the day Liu Che found out that he was bragging, no matter whether there was a minefield or an abyss ahead, he had to rush forward without hesitation...

The leaders of the world love to hear the good news. When Liu Che heard that everything was going well with Li Ling, he was in a good mood, so he named Chen Bule as a lang.

It's a pity that Liu Che was happy too early! The accurate situation at the front should be like this: the morale of the soldiers is very high, and Li Ling is also optimistic. As for the future, it is not in the hands of the Han army...

Li Ling's optimism is due to the fact that he has a weapon that can break the hearts of the Huns: ancestral archery skills! All along, Li Ling's busy work has been to train these five thousand brothers how to fly arrows. He believes that his efforts will not be in vain. He was even more convinced that he had brought enough good arrows. As long as the arrow is enough, faith is enough!

But in fact, it is not up to Li Ling to decide how many arrows are enough. Only one person can only say it, and this person is the Xiongnu and the Marquis of Shan Yu!

At this time, the distant Gongsun Ao and Lu Bode had already met in Zhuotu Mountain. What's going on on their side? The answer is: they didn't even see a shadow of the Huns! So where did the Huns go? Li Ling can tell you very responsibly: All of them came to me! This time, I really won a billion-dollar prize...

And the huge prize that Marquis Shan Yu first gave to Li Ling was 30,000 cavalry. How to deal with these 30,000 people? Li Ling took the following safety measures: find a defensive terrain: the entrance and exit between the east and west Junji Mountains.

Li Ling believed that blocking the entrance and exit was equivalent to blocking the way of the Xiongnu attack. What to take? Array. What kind of array? It is a pity that Li Lingbu is not a gossip array, but a car array.

It's not a gossip array, it's also better than a gossip array. Li Ling surrounded the position with a cart transporting grain; Then he led his sharp troops outside the formation, and made a careful division of labor: the soldiers in the front row carried shields and halberds, and the back row prepared bows and crossbows...

Li Ling's posture, and Marquis Shan Yu smiled when he saw it. The reason why he laughed was because he didn't take Li Ling seriously at all. 30,000 cavalry will make you 5,000 infantry, and if you don't believe it, you won't be able to defeat you! As a result, the Hun cavalry was like 30,000 eagles in the sky, all revealing their fierce and greedy appearances, and quickly swooped down towards the chickens on the ground...

And Hou Hou is wrong. When the Hun cavalry swooped halfway, they regretted it. Because they found out: Li Ling's seemingly fragile team is not a ****** that can be reached out, but a group of wolves in sheep's clothing!

Li Ling's fangs are finally revealed! In the face of the surging Hun cavalry, Li Ling ordered the arrows to be released. Suddenly, the Han army fired thousands of crossbows in unison, tearing the air and coming...

The Hun cavalry looked at the sky full of crossbow arrows, and their eyes were green. They have only one thought: run! Where to run? Mountains. Those who can't escape can only accept their fate. However, those Hun cavalry who dodged the flying arrows suddenly looked back and suddenly found that the Han army had rushed out of the position and chased them and slashed wildly...
