Chapter 19 Wolf Juxu Mountain
"I didn't expect our army to come so far? Where did this army of Zuo Xianwang go? Is it that my 50,000-strong army has returned in vain? This time Huo Qubing was also a little indecided, this time his 50,000 cavalry went deep into Mobei, which was already an expedition that the Han army had never had, but now he has completely lost the trace of Zuo Xianwang's army, and finding these people in this desert is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
But in this way, the class returned to the court, so this time his 50,000 troops would be meaningless, and even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not surrender, Huo Qubing himself would have no face to enter Chang'an City.
For a while, the atmosphere in the entire big tent was extremely solemn, and now the feeling of the Han army was that there was no strength but nowhere to vent. If Zuo Xianwang's army really kept avoiding the Han army like this and did not fight a decisive battle, then there was really nothing to be done.
"Master Hou, I have a plan, I don't know what about Master Hou?" Just when everyone was silent, Captain Li Dang suddenly spoke.
"Speak," Huo Quzhi replied immediately. And everyone's eyes fell on Li Kang, and even Huo Guang was curious about what Li Kang would do at this time.
"Although our army can't find Zuo Xianwang's army, it shouldn't be difficult to find his royal court. King Zuo Xian has a population of one million, these old and young women and children will definitely not be able to hide with the army, as long as we wash the royal court of King Zuo Xian in blood and kill all the old and young women and children, I am not afraid that King Zuo Xian will not come out obediently when the time comes. Even if he doesn't come out, his tribe will be purged by us, and even if he still has 100,000 people left behind, he has already lost his roots. ”
After Li Dang said this, the entire array became even more silent, and even a little quiet and terrifying. And many people's eyes looking at Li Kang have obviously changed, and Huo Guang also stared at him as if he had never known Li Kang, and his heart was already turbulent.
"Ruthless...... It's so ruthless...... This is a real trick! Even thousands of years later, the little devil invasion did not do so thoroughly. Huo Guang was shocked in his heart, but he didn't agree with this, but Huo Guang found that Huo Quzhi was the only one in the entire big tent and looked at Li Kang with the same expression.
"Oops, is my brother really going to adopt this poisonous plan?" Huo Guang saw Huo Quai's expression, and he was really afraid that he would adopt this poisonous plan. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" is not that Huo Guang is compassionate and compassionate, in fact, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive or exterminated by the Huns. However, Huo Guang knew that in history, all those who used soldiers to cause misery did not end well. Believe it or not, the unhappiness of the heavenly cycle of retribution is real!
"This plan is feasible, but in this way, it will violate my national policy of the Han Dynasty, let's think of other ways!" Huo Quzhi first affirmed Li Kang's strategy, but then changed his words and denied it with the national policy of the Han Dynasty.
As soon as Huo Quzhi decided to come out, all the generals in the tent breathed a sigh of relief. In particular, the nearly seventy percent of the Hun generals were even more relieved, but Huo Guang could clearly feel that the gaze of these Hun generals at Li Dang was a little unkind.
"Li Kang, Li Kang, if you say these words in public today, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the army in the future, this Li Guangzhen did not give birth to such a son, this character will hurt him sooner or later!" Through getting along in the past few months, Huo Guang has no ill feelings towards Li Kang, but still feels that this person is upright and loyal, but this uprightness has become a weakness in his character.
"Ah Guang, what do you think?" Li Kang's plan was denied, and the big tent fell silent again. But soon Huo Quzhi took the initiative to ask Huo Guang, which was also because Huo Guang's performance during this period of time was too good, and Huo Quzhi unconsciously relied on this little brother a little.
"This ...... There's really nothing the little brother can do. But I have a question for the Marquis of Changwu. Huo Guang really didn't know what to do, and all his advantages were just to know the general direction of history, but once history deviated and unknown, Huo Guang's eyes were black. Of course, this did not affect Huo Guang's thinking, which is why he still had questions to ask Zhao Anji, the Marquis of Changwu, at this time.
"Huo Shizhong, please speak." Because Huo Guang was officially named Zhu Cao Shizhong, the army generally called him Huo Shizhong, which was not even known to Zhao Anji, Marquis of Changwu, and Gao Bu, Marquis of Yiguan.
"Marquis Changwu knows the situation of the Xiongnu well, I don't know if there is any place near this Wolf Juxu Mountain where the 100,000 army can be hidden?" Huo Guang felt that instead of trying to figure out how to lure the Huns out, it was better to speculate on the hiding place of the Hun army.
"This ......" Zhao An didn't answer immediately when he heard this, and it seemed that he couldn't answer for a while.
"What? Any questions? Zhao Anji didn't answer for a while, and even Huo Quzhi asked.
Zhao Anji thought for a while, bowed to Huo Quai, and said: "If you want to hide an army of 100,000, it is really difficult to find such a place in the entire Mobei, but this Wolf Juxu Mountain is exactly one of them. The reason why Changwuhou didn't answer Huo Guang right away was actually because he was thinking about what eligible places he was going to have, and after this calculation, Zhao Anji also found out that Wolf Juxu Mountain turned out to be the most likely place.
"Wolf Juxu Mountain? Very well, the herald ordered the army to pull out. The target is Wolf Juxu Mountain. "Huo Qubing can't manage so much, the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Han army, not to mention that the supply of grain and grass is a big problem, all Huo Qubing is very eager to fight with King Zuoxian.
Wolf Juxu Mountain, this place with great fame in Chinese history, in fact, later generations do not know where he is at all, and several so-called Wolf Juxu Mountain are just places where later generations speculate that they may be. Two days later, Huo Guang and 50,000 Han troops had come to the vicinity of Wolf Juxu Mountain.
At this time, Huo Guang knew that the mountain should actually be a small mountain range. For a mountain range across the horizon in front of him was like a barrier blocking the way of the army.
"This is Wolf Juxu Mountain? How is this at the end of every year? Huo Quzhi stood in front of the army and asked with a horsewhip.
"I guess so, because what is in front of me is very close to what is described. It is rumored that if you go west along the river at the bottom of the mountain, there will be a canyon, through which you can make a detour behind the Wolf Juxu Mountain. Zhao Anji, Marquis of Changwu, hurriedly replied, but after hearing his words, he realized that he had never been here at all.
"What's behind the mountain?" Huo Quzhi's eyes looked into the distance, knowing what he couldn't see, but he was already very serious about seeing what was behind Wolf Juxu Mountain.
"It is rumored that there is a huge lake behind the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and it is to walk along the lake on horseback, and you can't reach the end for ten days. However, it is cold all year round, and the lake is covered with thick ice all year round, and I heard that someone has dug through the ice, and many fish have been found underneath. However, because of the severe cold, only some small tribes cross the Wolf Juxu Mountains to graze their cattle during the warmest months of the year. Zhao Anji told everything he knew, and Huo Guang listened to Zhao Anji's description, combining vague geographical concept analysis. The huge lake that Zhao Anji mentioned should be Lake Baikal in later generations, and the vast place in Wolf Juxu Mountain should be the Siberian region in later generations.
"Could it be that King Zuo Xian really crossed the Wolf Juxu Mountain with his men and horses?" Zhao Ponu said helplessly, this world is so big that the human race still doesn't know how big it is, if King Zuo Xian really ruthlessly ran to Siberia with his subordinates, then this battle would not be able to be fought at all.
"Regardless of whether King Zuo Xian has passed the Wolf Juxu Mountain or not, our army will find that canyon first, and then we can only go deeper to take a look." Huo Quzhi pondered for a moment, and finally decided to take a deeper look.
In this way, the army of 50,000 marched westward along the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and soon found a mountain gap along the river, which was two or three miles wide, but it was much wider than the ordinary canyon.
Generally, this kind of dangerous terrain is a taboo for marching, and the Han army is hesitant in the face of this canyon. In the end, Huo Qubing had to let Zhao Ponu lead 5,000 cavalry over first, and soon Zhao Ponu sent someone back to say that he had successfully passed through the canyon, and also checked that there were no ambushes on both sides of the valley.
In the end, the 50,000 troops also passed through the canyon one after another, Huo Guang also followed the army through the canyon, until the last group of soldiers also passed through the canyon without any accidents, almost everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, in this case, everyone was worried that the Huns would set up an ambush and suddenly kill.
Watching the tens of thousands of troops reorganize the queue, Huo Guang glanced back at the canyon, and then looked at the mountains and mountains on both sides, I don't know why, Huo Guang always felt uneasy in his heart, and even in the canyon just now, he was not so worried, but seemed to be more and more dangerous out of the canyon!
