Chapter 21: Murder with a Knife
Yes, the generals and soldiers of the Han Dynasty have done this more than once to cut off the heads of the Xiongnu people, or even the heads of other ethnic minorities who go back to serve as the heads of the Hun cavalry.
This is also a point of hatred of the ethnic minorities and the Huns against the Han army.
But today, the Han army under Huo Quai's command used what they did to tell all the people of the Invite Zi tribe that we are not those shameless scum, we are the real righteous teachers!
In the eyes of the old leader of the Invite Zi tribe, the iron cavalry of the Han army in front of him rushed past him one after another, but no one rushed towards their tribe, looking at the Han army that galloped away, the old leader who was over the age of sixteen was full of doubts, and after thinking carefully for a while, the old leader came to a conclusion, he thought that this Han army had an urgent task, so there was no time to kill people and set fire to grab food.
Well, that's probably it, it seems that I need to inform the Huns that there is something that the Han army has come to commit on a large scale.
It's no wonder that the old leader thinks so, Huo Quzhi didn't let the soldiers stop, and went to chat with the brothers of the Zi tribe and climb their feelings.
The second did not let the soldiers tell the people of the Invite Zi tribe why they didn't take care of others, why didn't they carry out the next righteous actions such as killing people, setting fire to and grabbing food, in this case, an old leader who was already not interested in the Han army, and even had a little hatred, would think about Huo Qubing and the Han army under him?
Do you think that they don't want to clean up themselves, but they just see that they don't have a good relationship with the Huns, so they want to use Yiha, and by the way, lay the foundation for the Han Dynasty to rule Hexi in the future?
When pigs fly!
The old leader is not Li Laosi, he will not pinch his fingers and know that he has been up and down for 5,000 years, but it doesn't matter, someone will come to talk to you in person in a while, and personally ask you to let go of all your prejudices against the Han army.
It took twenty minutes for 10,000 Han troops to pass quickly from the Invite Zi tribe and sail into the distance, and then learned from the mouths of the scouts under his command that the Han army was really gone, and the old leader gave two orders.
First, these 6,000 young men in the tribe must not relax their vigilance, and they must tighten their nerves to prevent the Han army from making a comeback.
Second, immediately send people to contact the two kings of Hun Evil Xiu Tu, so that they can prepare to lead an army to annihilate these Han troops.
Although the relationship between the Invite Zi tribe and the Huns is not good, and even the two sides often fight among themselves, in front of the tiger of the Han Dynasty, the wild wolf and the hyena put aside their past prejudices and temporarily hug each other, and it is still possible to fight the same enemy.
But just as the old leader gave the order, a big man with a bow standing beside him suddenly raised his hand and pointed straight ahead.
"Someone's coming at us."
The old leader looked up, and as the big man beside him had said, someone was rushing towards them on horseback.
But the old leader did not order the warriors around him to wait for him, because there were only five people in all.
Five people? How about destroying his tribe of tens of thousands of people? Doesn't this make it clear that you have something to say to yourself?
But Rao is so, the old leader still ordered the Invite Zi warriors next to him to take bows and aim at the five Han soldiers in this line, with a strong vigilance and vigilance, the old leader and the Invite Zi warriors standing densely behind him, staring at the five figures from a distance with a look of fear, the handsome general with a white horse under the crotch in front and wearing a tiger armor has become the main candidate for the bow and arrow in the hands of the Invite Zi warriors.
After a while, Huo Quzhi suddenly pulled into the reins of chasing the wind under his crotch, looking at the old leader of Yingzi who was close at hand, and the warriors who were coldly looking at him behind him, Huo Quzhi smiled faintly, jumped off to chase the wind, and strode towards the old leader with the four cavalry behind him.
"Dare to ask, is this the Invite Zi tribe?"
Half an hour later, under the personal escort of the old leader of the Invite Zi tribe with a strange look, Huo Quzhi left the Invite Zi tribe with his four personal soldiers with satisfaction, and he got what he wanted.
Standing outside the tribe, looking at the departing Huo Quai, the old chief of the Zi tribe was in mixed feelings, looking at the figure galloping on the horse and the grassland, getting farther and farther away, the old leader's eyes kept changing.
Just now, the young Han army general said a word to himself in the tent of the tribe.
"The enemy of the Han Dynasty has always been only the Huns, not the whole world!"
Is that so? Heh, who knows, no matter what kind of attitude the Han has towards my Invite Zi tribe, as long as they don't fight against us, they can also borrow their hands to get rid of those enemies who have excluded their own tribe.
For Huo Quzhi's sincerity, the old leader of the Invite Zi tribe didn't believe it at all, and a person who lived to his age would have already become a sperm, but in the tent of the tribe, the old leader told Huo Qubing everything he wanted to know.
The old leader told Huo Qubing very frankly, in this land of Hexi, who are the tribes that really belong to the Huns, and where are they, the old leader also told Huo Quai, the evil king of Hun Evil, the king of Hutu and the two kings of Zhelan Luhu how many Hun cavalry there are, not only that, but he also clearly informed the location of the lair of the two kings of Hun Tu.
And, at the end of the conversation, the old leader gave Huo Qubing a topographic map of Hexi with the most accurate marking.
Speaking of which, the intention of the old chief of the Invite Zi tribe is almost known to passers-by, he does not have the slightest idea of helping Dahan and helping Huo Quzhi, and it is impossible for Dahan and Huo Qubing to gain his trust, all he does is to kill people with a knife, and with the help of Huo Quzhi's hand, kill his enemies.
If Huo Qu wins this battle, it will naturally be the best, this young general, and the Han will definitely remember what he did today, and if the Han occupies Hexi in the future, his tribe will definitely develop vigorously
But if it is defeated, it still doesn't matter, because not long after Huo Quai's departure, the Invite Zi tribe sent a few fast horses to report to the Hun Evil King and others, the old leader guessed that Huo Quai's military strength would not be a problem to wipe out two or three hostile Huns and his own hostile subjects, as for the final hum, what does that have to do with me, I invite the Zi tribe to be able to be alone.
He could even improve the relationship between the two sides by providing information to the Huns.
The Invite Zi tribe can still flourish.
A stable and unlossable deal.
There seems to be nothing wrong with what the old leader has done, what he has done is not selfish, it is all for the sake of his own tribe, Huo Quzhi must also understand this, and he never expected to be able to take a tribal leader under his command with just a few words.
In this world, speech is indeed an important tool that can influence the general trend of the world, but it is the word power that can determine the real direction of the world.
At present, the Xiongnu and the Han have always stood in the same position, and the balance representing victory has never been tilted like either side.
In this case, will the old leader of the Invite Zi tribe take the liberty of leading tens of thousands of people in his tribe to completely join Huo Quai?
No way!
Wandering between the two parties and secretly watching is what the neutral side should do at this stage, and it is also what all ethnic minorities in Hexi should do.
Of course, Huo Quzhi also understands this, but it doesn't matter, he just wants to get what he wants on this trip, and now that he has got it, he won't think about the true inner thoughts of the old leader of the Invite Zi tribe, and there is no need to care.
As long as the old leader can see the real gap between the Xiongnu and the Han, then he, the entire ethnic minorities in Hexi, will bend their waists to themselves and to the Han.
It's all about this battle.
According to the information provided by the old leader of the Invite Zi tribe, there is a Xiongnu vassal state more than 70 miles northwest of this place, which is a Xiongnu vassal state in the real sense, Wuyu country!
This is the place where Huo Qubing entered the first battle in Hexi.
Abandon the service and stop at it.
This was Huo Quzhi's main operational policy for this march into Hexi.
In later generations, in addition to focusing on how brave Huo Qubing was in this battle, Huo Qubing also described Huo Qubing from the tribe without fighting, and people who don't know may think that the champion Hou is so benevolent and benevolent, but unfortunately, this does not fight, just invites the Zi tribe not to fight, in the next, Huo Qubing will show his sword to the Xiongnu vassal states that are the same as Wu Yu (li), and all the Xiongnu vassal states in the land of Hexi that he wants to fight thoroughly know the three words of Huo Quai.
He also wants to let those vassal countries understand how ruthless the Han will be to his enemies and how friendly he will be to his friends.
After Huo Quzhi and his four personal soldiers left the Invite Zi tribe, they ran wildly, and it didn't take long for him to see 10,000 Han troops standing neatly among the grasslands.
Seeing that Huo Qubing had returned, Li Tian and the other five generals quickly drove their horses to Huo Quzhi's eyes, Li Tian just wanted to ask Huo Qubing about his next marching plan, and Huo Qubing said in advance.
"Pass my general's order, the army will march along the valley with all its might, regardless of the front and rear armies, and follow the general to attack the country of Wuxi, which is seventy miles away."
The words fell, and Huo Quzhi pulled out the long sword at his waist and reached the sky.
"This battle is the first battle for the army to enter Hexi, if you can't win, I'll dare to be a military lawyer!"
"No!"
Ten thousand horsemen, standing on the war horse, responded loudly, the roar resounded in all directions, and the aftermath continued, so that the wild wolves who were watching around scattered and fled.
Zhang Taishu pulled out the two big knives on his waist with a brush, and laughed heroically, "Grandma's, I can finally fight, Lao Tzu's double knives are about to rust." ”
Li Tian looked at the slowly drifting river not far away, Gushui, a big river that runs through the western edge and middle of the river, presumably beside this big river, there will be no shortage of Xiongnu vassal states, it seems that this trip must have gained a lot.
"Let's go!"
Huo Quzhi turned the horse's head with a long sword in his hand, "Drive." "Be the first to rush out.
"Brothers, keep up with the general."
Zhou Xing held the big flag of Huo Zi, gave an order to the eight hundred horsemen beside him, and followed Huo Quai, who was charging with a sword.
Soon, the 10,000 elite horsemen present all raised their horsewhips, and in the deafening sound of horses' hooves, they showed their great Han swords to the Wuyu Kingdom!
------------- the dividing line, there is one thing I want to say, the battle of Hexi, I will write according to historical facts as much as possible, but there will definitely be artistic processing in some places, in fact, there are not too many places for processing, because Huo Quai's battle of Hexi is too strong with the same champion Hou in the history books
