Since the army left Chang'an City, Huo Qubing led people all the way to march, running for more than 260 miles, where the army passed, the people along the way couldn't help jumping their feet to look, and many people spontaneously sent a lot of supplies to the army.

Because it was getting late, and Huo Qubing wanted to discuss the next march with his five generals, he stopped, and outside a small city called Lincheng, the army camped here and repaired.

From Chang'an to Longxi, the point of the army, the distance between the two is about 474 kilometers, in ancient times it is more than 1,000 miles, Huo Quai's army around the clock, in about four days can reach Longxi, at present, Huo Quai's 10,000 fine cavalry, that is, 10,000 Huo troops, after two years of training, the marching speed has reached a terrifying 280 miles, which is about 20 miles higher than the standard expected by Huo Quai.

At present, Huo Quzhi's plan is to lead the army to Longxi first, and then go out of Longxi, so as to enter the Hexi region and start a campaign.

However, during the period of rushing to Longxi, Huo Qubing would not let the soldiers run too hard, and the marching speed should be maintained at a speed of more than 180 miles to 200 miles, in this way, Huo Qubing would take about five or six days to reach Hexi, but according to Huo Quzhi's tactical thinking, a quick battle and a blitzkrieg are the style he should have.

But not for the time being, because he needs to recuperate, and he must keep his soldiers in good condition and physical strength to deal with the next big battle.

Aside from letting the soldiers recuperate, there is another reason that forced Huo Qubing to not be able to march quickly, because one person, yes, is the Qian Xiaopang who was taken by Zhou Xing on horseback for a day, but he was still tired.

During the period before rushing to Longxi, Huo Qubing wanted to transform Qian Xiaopang into a real Han soldier, not only to help Qian Xiaopang, but also to allow him to survive the next big war.

Don't look at Huo Quai's previous words to Chu Mengyao, as long as he lives, he will definitely bring Qian Xiaopang back safe and sound, but in fact, in this battle, even Huo Qubing himself knows what kind of enemy and dangerous battle awaits him in the future, even he himself does not dare to guarantee that he can return to the dynasty alive, and go back to see Chu Mengyao and Huang Xiaowei alive, how can he guarantee Qian Xiaopang's safety?

Once the decisive battle starts, Huo Qubing will definitely be weak, and it will be very difficult to command the soldiers to fight, let alone protect a person, so whether Qian Xiaopang can survive or not depends on himself

But there seems to be a strange place here, that is, why did Huo Quzhi know that his trip was extremely dangerous, but he still brought Qian Xiaofat?

This answer may be attributed to Li Laosi.

Because at the beginning, Huo Qubing wanted to bring Qian Xiaopang to join the army, it can be said that it was completely a whim, he didn't care so much at that time, and he didn't think about what to do if Qian Xiaopang really died, but when Huo Quzhi suddenly remembered that if Qian Xiaopang unfortunately died in battle and he was still alive, what should he do? How should he face Chu Mengyao and Lao Qian and his wife?

So on the day of the expedition, when he saw Li Laosi for the first time, Huo Quzhi first walked up to Li Laosi and asked him in a low voice, "Can I take him to Dahan?" ”

Li Laosi first glanced at him deeply, and then dropped a sentence that was incoherent: "He has eighty-two years of life." ”

Hearing this, Huo Quzhi completely relieved his heart, it seems that Qian Xiaopang will not die in the big Han, it is enough to get this information.

Speaking of which, Huo Quzhi also has a big character shortcoming, that is, he does not cherish life, think about it, how can a general who fights on the battlefield be a virgin?

Huo Quzhi didn't cherish the object of life just ordinary people, not his friends, so when he thought of bringing Qian Xiaopang to the battlefield, Huo Quzhi's heart must have vaguely flashed what to do if Qian Xiaopang died in battle, but he just didn't think deeply, and even deliberately didn't think about it, if the thoughts in his heart at that time were shown in words, it would probably be like this.

Death is death, what's the big deal, it is not an honor for him to die on the battlefield.

Huo Quzhi is such a person, he never cherishes his life, how many ordinary soldiers die, even if he will be sad in his heart, he will not be too sad, because in his opinion, it is natural to sacrifice his life for the country, and he never cherishes his life.

If you think carefully about the things that Huo Qubing has done, as well as the characteristics of marching and fighting, you can know that he has never put his life first, as long as he can succeed, as long as he can achieve victory, no matter how dangerous it is, he will do it!

Wouldn't it be nice to have a horse leather shroud?

The first place in Huo Quai's heart is always his motherland, his big man, he can do anything for the big Han Huo Quai, just ask, a person who subconsciously regards sacrificing his life for the country as a supreme honor, let him cherish the life of ordinary soldiers and Qian Xiaopang, who is not a friend, is a little unrealistic.

And what really made Huo Qubing wake up and understand that Qian Xiaopang was not one of the soldiers under him, and he couldn't just take him to the battlefield and put him in danger, or because Huo Qubing remembered Chu Mengyao.

In a word, he can't let Chu Mengyao's younger brother die in his own hands, so later, Huo Quzhi asked Li Laosi if Qian Xiaopang could be brought to the battlefield by him, if Li Laosi shook his head, Huo Quzhi would never bring Qian Xiaopang to Dahan, and he wouldn't care about the annoying rich second generation in the future, just let him fend for himself.

Qian Xiaopang has to thank Li Laosi, of course, he mainly has to thank his cousin Chu Mengyao, otherwise this dead fat rich second generation is estimated to have to gnaw on the old man for a lifetime, ignorant for a lifetime, and the possibility that Lao Qian will be angry with him in the end is also the greatest.

Huo Qubing stood in his handsome tent, staring at the topographic map of Hexi hanging high in front of him with his hands behind his back, on the map, Huo Qubing could only see the general direction of some mountains and rivers, and he didn't know anything else, and even the gathering place of the Xiongnu tribe was not clearly marked.

Speaking of which, if Huo Qubing knew everything, then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty probably would not have sent him to the expedition this time, because the biggest task of his trip was not to fight with the Huns, but to find out the topography of Hexi, as well as the deployment of the Huns here.

Since the period of Mao Dun Shan Yu and the seizure of Hexi, the army of the Han Dynasty has not set foot on the land of Hexi for decades, and what awaits Huo Qu's illness will be an unknown danger.

And Huo Quai's tent hanging this sheepskin topographic map, is not the product of the Han Dynasty, but the pre-Qin period to draw the Hexi topographic map, in the past few decades and hundreds of years, Hexi has already undergone earth-shaking changes, but the Han Dynasty does not know anything here, they only know, in Hexi, there are tens of thousands of Hun elite cavalry led by the four kings of Hun evil, Xiu Tu, Zhelan, Luhou, and the rest, even how many Xiongnu vassal states in Hexi are not clear.

Faced with the situation in front of him, Huo Quzhi was also very worried, so he no longer thought about the next action, and used a sentence to surface his current thoughts, probably just take one step at a time.

Huo Quzhi turned around, and in his handsome tent, five slender Han generals in red armor had been standing quietly behind him.

On the left-hand side, two burly generals, with full beards, tall figures, and a few strands of Hun hair tied on their heads, bowed their heads very respectfully as soon as Huo Quzhi turned around, "General." ”

There are many servants, Gao does not know, Huo Qubing rescued the two Hun generals from Liu Che's butcher's knife, these two are smart people, they both know that if it weren't for Huo Qu's illness, he would have been killed by the ruthless Han Emperor with a knife, so in terms of loyalty, among the five generals in this account, the two of them should be the most loyal to Huo Quai, and even to the point that they were willing to die for Huo Quai.

Not only is Huo Qubing a lifesaver for them, but also because Bole is hard to find, General Huo believes in us so much, not only saved our lives, but also is willing to take us, who are very shameless Hun barbarians in the eyes of the Han people, to the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, what reason do they have not to be loyal to Huo Quai.

Not only the two of them, but also the four thousand Huns, they were very grateful to Huo Quai, and when they came to the battlefield the next day, they killed the elite of the Huns no slower than the soldiers of the Han army, and even more ruthlessly.

The Huns, unlike us, are not a whole nation, although they are collectively called the Huns, but in fact they are divided into many tribes, in the face of the Han strong enemy, they will unite together, but during the period of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jingdi, the population of the Huns who died in the civil strife themselves was almost the same as that of the Han army, just a little less.

And these 4,000 Huns surrendered from different tribes, so in their eyes, there are no compatriots, because some of those compatriots have killed their relatives.

Next to Fuduo and Gao Buzhi, that is, the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young general standing in the middle, with a wisp of beard on his brave face, is the famous Zhao Ponu, if Gao Buzhi and Fuduo are the two generals who are the most loyal to Huo Quzhi in the army, then Zhao Ponu can be ranked third.

His life was also saved by Huo Quai, and this person is also a full general, but there is a little bit of a bad thing, he is more realistic and very clear, and he can also be called rational.

Huo Qubing saved him, so he will definitely repay Huo Qubing for saving his life and knowing the kindness, and it doesn't matter if he gives his life, but once he feels that your kindness has been repaid, then he will not serve you so desperately, and he can replace the four words "desperate" for impartiality.

I will definitely do what I should do, and if I don't do it, it has nothing to do with me.

is very realistic and rational, not like Gao Buzhi and many servants, who have long planned to use their lives to serve Huo to serve dogs and horses.
