Remember for a second [Think โรท Ke โ Xiao โณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Huo Quai's handsome face was hung with a wisp of blood that had not yet dried up, and a little blood flower was dotted on his big red armor like stars.
At this moment, Huo Quzhi stood in the center of the big tent with his head held high, his straight back was like a towering mountain, standing tall, the blood-stained battle armor, the blood-dripping face, and the two sky-high sword eyebrows, several of which overlapped each other, setting off the young general like a god of war returning from purgatory, forcing people's hearts.
But on the wrist of his left hand, there was a thick bandage, in the battle just now, Huo Qubing took the lead, personally led hundreds of soldiers to rush to the front line, and slashed more than ten people, and not only that, in the chaotic army, the young and brave Huo Qubing personally killed a Hun deputy general!
was killed with a sword, which provoked the attention of all the Han generals and soldiers.
Before this brave record, it is normal to suffer a little injury, but
It was precisely because of Huo Quai's hard work not long ago that the generals in the army who had a lot of criticism about him closed their mouths and put away their contemptuous eyes.
It seems that this young man not only became a lieutenant at a young age because of his illustrious family background, but also a young general with real talent and hard work.
In the past, they were too narrow-minded, and they only regarded Huo Quzhi as a son-in-law who relied on his relationship to get to the top and came to make military achievements, alas..... What a mistake.
Whether it is history or the present, Huo Qubing is a near-perfect person, brave in battle, flexible in mind, but overly arrogant, but in addition, there is a fatal shortcoming in the first half of Huo Quzhi's life, that is, his age.
Too young, Huo Qubing is really too young, seventeen years old, only seventeen years old, how can a child who should still be in school become a school captain in charge of hundreds of people?
How can the generals in the army who have fought vicious battles for more than ten years pay attention to him?
But it doesn't matter, from now on, Huo Quzhi's age will not be his shortcoming, but will be the capital he is most proud of.
Champion of the Hou, only seventeen years old.
The official worships Sima, who is only twenty-two years old.
A fantastic legend.
.......
In the big tent, Huo Quzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his face, and smiled at Wei Qing: "Uncle, don't worry, it's just some minor injuries, it's not in the way." โ
Wei Qing nodded with satisfaction, sat behind the handsome case, his eyes lit up, and another meal stopped on Huo Quzhi's face.
Wei Qing looked at the heroic young general in front of him with relief and admiration, the more he looked at Wei Qing, the more he loved it, and his eyes did not hide his appreciation for his nephew.
He had already heard about Huo Quzhi's performance on the battlefield just now, and this kid really didn't disappoint him, as soon as he remembered the appearance of Gongsun He, Zhao Xin, and Su Jian who came to say hello to him just now, Wei Qing couldn't help but grin.
His Majesty personally ordered to go sick and go with the army this time, although those generals didn't say anything, anyone could see the disdain on their faces before.
Every time I saw Huo Qu's illness in the army, those generals didn't even bother to greet him, the better ones nodded with Huo Qu's illness, and the worse ones simply treated him as a ball of air and turned a blind eye.
This is still based on the premise that Huo Quzhi took the initiative to say hello to them.
But now it's okay, in the battle not long ago, Huo Quzhi has fully proved his worth, and also made those people rush to say hello to him, and by the way, he is looking down on people for his previous dogs, and apologizes, hehe, it's really relieving.
Wei Qing sat in front of the handsome case kindly and said, "Go sick, you came to me, but is there something?" โ
Huo Quzhi licked the corners of his somewhat chapped mouth, and said longingly: "Uncle, I do have something to look for you." โ
Looking at Huo Quzhi, who was burning with a raging battle intent even in his pupils at this moment, Wei Qing couldn't help but smile, he knew why Huo Qubing came to him now, and the reason was that he had told him many times along the way, it was nothing more than to lead a team of soldiers and horses to attack.
Huo Quzhi begged him countless times, but he just didn't agree to Huo Quai's request, the reason is very simple...... He is not Huo Quai's enemy, he is Huo Quai's uncle!
After the greetings, Huo Quzhi hugged his fists and said solemnly: "General, our army has successfully defeated the main force of the Huns not long ago, and now they are fleeing to the depths of the desert in a panic. โ
Speaking of this, Huo Quzhi said angrily: "Uncle, as long as you are willing to give me a fine cavalry and let me command them to go deep into the desert, then I believe that I will definitely be able to achieve something in this trip." โ
After Huo Quai's words were finished, his Wei Qing also fell into deep thought.
Wei Qing crossed his fingers, put his chin on the back of his hand, and sat alone in front of the handsome case, quietly thinking about what Huo Quzhi had just said, and his eyes swept from Huo Quzhi's body and the topographic map of Mo Nan in front of him from time to time.
Wei Qing thought about it for a long time, and he was thinking about whether to agree to Huo Quai's request to fight.
If he agrees, the risk is too great, even if he knows that his nephew is not a thing in the pool, sooner or later he will leap into the dragon gate, but now he is only seventeen years old, not even eighteen, so soon let him lead the army alone, is it too early, what if something happens, then how can he explain to his sister and His Majesty?
Wei Zifu likes Huo Quai, it goes without saying, and Liu Che loves Wu and Wu as well, plus Huo Qubing itself is very likable, Liu Che loves him even more.
Let's ask a young man with the talent of a general, who doesn't like it?
Liu Che's eyes on people are very poisonous, like Wei Qing, he knows very well that Huo Qubing will definitely be a big help for him in the future, if it is not so, how can he agree that Huo Qubing will go to the battlefield now.
Again, a seventeen-year-old child is too far away from the border battle.
If it weren't for Huo Quai's repeated requests, coupled with Liu Che's desire to hone and hone this piece of jade in advance, and to make immortal feats for his own Han in the future, he would never have sent Huo Qubing to the battlefield so early, and it would be a pity if he unfortunately died.
Wei Qing continued to ponder the pros and cons of letting Huo Qubing go on the expedition, and just finished thinking about agreeing to Huo Quai's expedition, but the risk was too great.
But what if you don't agree? Just let him follow him, the effect of the hone will definitely be achieved, and the safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, but .......
Is this really what you want? Does he Wei Qing really just hope that his nephew will be like ordinary people, step by step, and slowly climb up?
Keeping him by his side, indeed, Huo Quai's illness can be unharmed, and he will make great progress than before, and he will be able to give an explanation to His Majesty and his sister when he goes back.
Not really!
The eagle will one day leave the protection of his parents, spread his wings and fly high, facing unknown difficulties and challenges, if everything has been Huo Quai's safety, then he will only live under the protection of his wings in this life, and will never be able to achieve real growth, such Huo Quai, is not what he wants to see.
What he wants to see is a bright star, and what he wants to see is ...... is an immortal legend.
Wei Qing's eyes looked at the high-spirited Huo Quzhi in front of him, and the corners of his mouth crossed a slight arc, go to illness, don't let your uncle down, even if you unfortunately die on the battlefield, then don't resent your uncle.
Because my uncle hopes that you will be able to surpass me in the future and be able to carry this Han battle flag alone.
This time, even if it is your uncle's last test for you.
Thinking of this, there was no need to think about it, Wei Qing made up his mind, that is, to let Huo Qu go sick, let this young eagle fly freely and freely between heaven and earth, he wanted to see what kind of rare talent his nephew was.
"Go to illness, if you accidentally die on the battlefield on this trip, will you regret it?" Wei Qing stared at Huo Quai's handsome facial features and said in a deep voice.
Huo Qubing didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Uncle, a manly man, he died on the battlefield, but he died a well-deserved death, putting these aside, as a soldier, being able to die on the battlefield is an honor for me Huo Quzhi." โ
Wei Qing chuckled, it seems that his nephew is not only a young eagle, but also a young eagle with the heart of a tiger, very good.
"Go sick, how many people do you decide to take with you on this trip?"
Hearing Wei Qing's words, Huo Quzhi couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and howl, and finally ...... My uncle finally agreed to let him lead the army alone, and I finally waited for this day!
Huo Quzhi forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and said word by word: "The soldiers are fine but not many, uncle, give me 800 fine horses, and I will definitely be able to return triumphantly." โ
Wei Qing's face changed drastically, and the original relief turned into disappointment, in Huo Quai's body, Wei Qing only saw four words at this moment, proud and complacent.
Alas..... In the end, he is a young man, only taking a mere 800 people, isn't this sending him to death, going to illness, you disappointed my uncle too much, it seems that I really can't let you go, otherwise I will let you die.
Almost the next second Wei Qing changed his mind, Huo Quzhi's voice came into his ears again.
"Uncle, these eight hundred people, I want to choose them personally, and you can't stop them, whoever I want, you have to give him to me."
Wei Qing's tight brows relaxed, "Then let's talk about the candidate in your heart first." โ
Huo Qubing took a step forward and blurted out: "Huns, uncle, I want eight hundred of the most elite Huns." โ
Wei Qing's face changed again, and in an instant, four words sounded in Wei Qing's heart, "Governing Hungary with Hungary." โ
Almost without any hesitation, Wei Qing agreed to Huo Quai's request, picked up the arrow on the handsome case, threw it to Huo Quzhi and said: "Hold my order arrow, you can choose the soldiers at will by the sergeant of the headquarters, and the grain and grass can be directly transferred to the superintendent." โ
Huo Quzhi received the arrow and was overjoyed, "Thank you, uncle." โ
Immediately, Huo Quzhi walked out of the tent alone and went to the military camps to select soldiers who could go out with him to fight.
When Huo Qubing left, Wei Qing had been silently watching his back, and when Huo Quai's back disappeared completely, Wei Qing slowly stood up from the handsome case, and walked a few laps with his hands behind his back in the handsome tent.
After a moment, he stopped, his eyes on a ray of sunlight shining in from outside the tent.
Wei Qing raised his head and sighed, "I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to do this?" โ
