Zhang Cigong's face was hot, and he almost bit his tongue.

Seeing Liang Xiao's black and gray face, tired people and horses, and the number of horses was seriously insufficient, which was completely inconsistent with Li Guangbu's luxurious battle of one person and three horses, he naturally thought that Liang Xiao must have lost the battle and lost all his belongings, so he recklessly made nonsense.

Who would have thought that the black ash on Liang Xiao's face was actually because he burned the baggage of the Huns, and burned two large battalions in one go.

No matter how brainless people are, it also knows that the Huns are strong, and the possibility of defeating them head-on is very small, and the only way is to destroy their logistical supplies and force them to withdraw themselves. But the logistics are not so easy to destroy, the Huns will definitely be heavily guarded, strictly guarded, the risk of robbing the camp is very high, if you are not careful, you may become a suicide.

At least Zhang Cigong himself didn't dare. Although they had 10,000 horsemen, they were not sure to complete the task before the Hun reinforcements arrived. In fact, they couldn't bypass the army of the Right Virtuous King at all, and they didn't even have a chance to attack.

But Liang Xiao did it, he only used 3,000 horsemen to burn two heavy battalions of the Huns, and some controlled the casualties, and only lost some war horses.

Compared with the baggage of the two large battalions of the Huns, the price of these thousands of war horses is not small, but it is worth it. In this case, his cynicism was very stupid, and Liang Xiao's raised fingers were like two knives, directly piercing his eyes.

There are no beads in the eyes! Zhang Cigong's face was red, and he wished that there was a crack in the ground so that he could get in.

Liang Xiao said hello to Cheng Buzhi and walked away. He is Li Guang's general, and he doesn't need to report to Cheng Buzhi.

Cheng Buzhi had a gloomy face. Not a word. Of course, he knew that Liang Xiao was not happy. His heart was not happy. Zhang Cigong clashed with Liang Xiao in front of him. There is no such thing as a general in his eyes. If it weren't for Wei Qing's face. He was about to have a seizure on the spot.

"General......" Wei Qing was embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty.

"General Wei, don't say more." Cheng Buzhi forcibly suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "You came just in time, let's camp immediately." Although the right virtuous king retreated, Shan Yu has not left. If you can hit Shan Yu hard, it is also a great achievement. ”

Wei Qing agreed repeatedly.

After discussing the war arrangements with Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing left the Chinese army tent that Cheng Buzhi knew. He hurried all the way. Not a word. Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao followed closely, looking at Wei Qing's face, and tried to speak several times, but they couldn't open their mouths.

Out of the Chinese army, Wei Qing stopped, turned to look at them, and said in a deep voice: "You go back and prepare, Shan Yu will withdraw the army soon, whether you can make meritorious service or not, this is the last chance." ”

"Whoa." Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong hurriedly surrendered. "Zhong Qing. You...... Where to? ”

"I'll go find Bo Ming to apologize." Wei Qing glared at him Zhang Cigong. "You are my brothers, and Bo Ming is also my brother. By doing this, you are not humiliating Bo Ming, but humiliating me. ”

Zhang Cigong was embarrassed. Wei Qing waved his hand, turned over his horse, and led Wei Tao towards Liang Xiao's camp. Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao glanced at each other and scolded in unison, extremely disappointed.

Wei Qing came to Liang Xiao's camp. The soldiers were camping, Liang Xiao was checking the surrounding terrain, and when he saw Wei Qing, Liang Xiao grinned, and waved his hand to signal Tu Niu'er and the others to disperse. Wei Qing jumped off the horse and arched his hand apologetically. "Bo Ming, I'm really sorry. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. ”

Liang Xiao patted Wei Qing's shoulder. "Zhongqing, you and I have been friends for many years, and I still don't know you. I know that they and you are both lifelong friends, but now they are in the army, and they are not as usual. They are so presumptuous, you should also take care of it, otherwise how can you convince the public? ”

"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

"Don't take everything on yourself. I know very well that the men in the army are rude, but I can't be so presumptuous. You and I are brothers, you can not care, if it is someone else, you can let him go so easily. Liang Xiao paused, and then said, "You don't get along well with General Li, right?" ”

Wei Qing smiled bitterly and nodded. "I can't hide anything from you."

"Needless to say, I know better than you what General Li's temper is. If Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong want to learn from him, they must also have that capital. They are so arrogant now, others are either targeting them everywhere, or they think that they are flying high and domineering with Mrs. Wei's relationship, no matter what, it is not a good thing, especially for you. ”

Wei Qing let out a long sigh and frowned slightly.

Wei Tao walked over and arched his hand: "Liang Junhou, you are reasonable, Zhong Qing's identity is sensitive, and he is rejected openly and secretly, but what can he do?" This expedition went all over the place, but by chance, so far there is no real combat exploits, and I ask the prince for more advice. ”

Liang Xiao glanced at Wei Tao and his expression softened. He knew that Wei Qing was not feeling well now. History has changed, Wei Qing was covered by his light, and he no longer had the good luck of becoming famous in history. If he can't make meritorious service and can't prove that the Son of Heaven is right to use him, it's really hard to say whether he will have such an opportunity next time.

"To make meritorious service, it is actually very simple." The corners of Liang Xiao's mouth were slightly raised, and he laughed. "If you want to hunt foxes, you have to be more cunning than foxes. If you want to fight a jackal, you have to be more ferocious than a jackal. The characteristic of the Huns is that they are fast, so you must be faster than him. ”

Wei Qing's eyes flashed. "You mean, reduce the number of cavalry and increase the speed?"

"That's right. Our cavalry is not as numerous as the Huns, and you only have a chance if you are faster than him. Otherwise, you'll have to be passive. ”

"However, in this case, we can only equip three thousand horsemen......" Wei Tao was a little worried. Is 3,000 rides too little? ”

"General Cheng has captured some war horses, you can go and ask for them. If you don't ask him to arrange for a lieutenant to work with you, it's fine. In addition, if it is a two-to-three-hundred-mile attack, you don't need to bring much grain and grass, one person and two horses are enough. The weapons and equipment of our army are stronger than those of the Huns, and if there are 5,000 horsemen, even if they encounter 10,000 horsemen of the Huns, they will have the strength to fight. If the forces are equal, we should have a victory rate of more than seventy percent. ”

Wei Qing nodded again and again.

"In addition, the Huns were accustomed to riding and shooting, and were not good at hand-to-hand combat. Equipped with fine armor halberds. Forced breakthroughs. Give full play to the advantages of equipment as much as possible, and run away when the Huns see you, so that you can take the initiative in your hands. The impact of morale fluctuations on combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. ”

Wei Qing sighed with emotion. "Thank you Boming, I'll do it here. If you have made a meritorious service, I will definitely invite you to drink when I go back. ”

"If you really want to thank me, hurry up and marry my junior sister." Liang Xiao said half-jokingly: "What's the matter with you hanging like this?" ”

Wei Qing blushed. "It's not that you won't marry her. It's me who doesn't have a face. If you can make meritorious service and be rewarded, this thing will naturally be done. ”

"I hope so."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Han Yan shouted and rushed all the way into the Chengming Palace.

The Son of Heaven turned around, his brows furrowed, and his slightly pale face showed a little displeasure.

"Your Majesty, good news." Han Yan rushed to the Son of Heaven and shook the military report in his hand. "Good news."

The Son of Heaven's eyes flashed, and his anger turned into joy. "What good news, the Huns are gone?"

Three days ago. He received Han Anguo's military report, and Li Guang and Wei Qing succeeded in attacking Lou Fu Wang's department. The entire army of King Lou Fu was annihilated, and the two Xiongnu kings who occupied Henan had all been defeated. However, the situation was not so good, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu and Youxian Wang led 80,000 elite cavalry to arrive and wanted to recapture Henan. Han Anguo is guarding the stone barrier, but Cheng Buzhi in Daze is very dangerous.

Once the Huns defeated Cheng Buzhibu, Han Anguo would be unable to support it alone, and Henan would inevitably gain and lose, and the previous achievements would be abandoned, maybe the Huns would take the opportunity to retaliate and invade the border counties, and even reach Chang'an.

The battle has reached the most critical moment, but the Son of Heaven has nothing to do. For a short time, he had no more troops available, especially cavalry. He can only pin his hopes on the generals on the battlefield.

On the other hand, he was a little happy. In the face of the Huns, the biggest trouble of the Han army was that the number of cavalry was not enough to capture the main force of the Huns. This time, he accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion to take Henan as the goal, but the Huns took the initiative to come, and the Han army didn't even have to go out of the fortress to fight against the main force of the Huns. If the Huns could be killed and wounded in large numbers, even if the casualties were larger, it would be an unprecedented victory.

Of course, he also hoped for a big victory for the Han army, but he knew better that this was too unlikely. Undefeated is already the best result.

With this expectation, the Son of Heaven opened the military newspaper and quickly glanced at it.

Yan Zhu and the others gathered around, staring nervously at the expression of the Son of Heaven. They breathe and share the same fate with the Son of Heaven. If the situation in the northern Xinjiang is unfavorable, they will be the ones who are under the most pressure.

The Son of Heaven's eyebrows were raised, followed by the corners of his mouth, and a trace of a smile slowly bloomed from the corners of his mouth, and quickly rippled.

"Good! Well played! "The Son of Heaven was so excited that he waved his arm vigorously, and he was like a thousand pounds." It is worthy of being a strange material trained by Huan Jun. Haha, this time, even General Li is slightly inferior. ”

When Yan Zhu and the others heard this, they were relieved and hurriedly congratulated the Son of Heaven. The general of the Son of Heaven reported to them, turned around and walked outside the hall, opened his arms, and let out a long howl.

"Win the war, win the war, we win the war-"

Seeing this, the officials on duty under the corridor turned around in unison, faced the Son of Heaven, stroked their chests and bowed their bodies, and shouted long live.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

After reading the military report, Yan Suke's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately forwarded the military report to King Wuqiu Shou. He walked quickly to the Son of Heaven and laughed softly: "Your Majesty, Liang Xiao is really good at raiding, and this time he seized the opportunity again." ”

"Of course." The Son of Heaven was nervous for so many days, and suddenly received good news, overjoyed, and a little unscrupulous. "He's the best of luck with my own eyes."

"Your Majesty's discerning eyes are comparable to extraordinary people." Yan Zhu said with a smile: "The minister watched Liang Xiao's use of soldiers, and he felt quite familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Is Your Majesty impressed? ”

"Déjà vu?" The Son of Heaven was stunned. "Among my famous generals, is there anyone who uses soldiers like this?"

"Han Jiangzhong...... It doesn't seem to be. Yan Zhu put away his smile and stared at the Son of Heaven with burning eyes.

The Son of Heaven thought about it and suddenly came to his senses. "You mean...... "He rolled his eyes, then changed his words. No, no, it can't be. ”

Yan Zhu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks it shouldn't be. However, the minister is a Wu person, Huan and Zhongli, these two surnames, plus this amazing cavalry tactics......"

The smile on the Son of Heaven's face dissipated, and the corners of his eyes jumped, revealing a little uneasiness-
