Chapter 219: King Qiang and Da Lun
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's northern tour was not an outing, let alone a simple show of face, but he really hoped to defeat the Huns again, if he could capture the Huns Shan Yu and make the Huns completely surrender, it would be the best. Fastest updates
"If the Xiongnu royal court is really here, the minister has seven points to be sure that he can defeat the Xiongnu, but the chance of killing the Xiongnu Shan Yu or capturing him alive should not be great. After all, the Xiongnu steppe is vast, and the royal court guards must be extremely strict and brave. There is also a matter that must be reported to His Majesty. Huo Guang also looked very solemn, this time going deep into the Huns is not a simple war, but also with the emperor and the Manchu civil and military, not to mention the defeat of the Huns, the slightest carelessness will become a sinner for the ages.
"It's good to be seventy percent sure, I don't know what else Aiqing has to do?" It can be said that to take the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty to carry out such a big battle, except for Wei Qing, only Huo Guang can do it. Don't look at these important ministers above the court, they speak more soundly than anyone else, but when hundreds of thousands of people really go deep into the Mobei grassland, only Huo Guang and a few others can make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rely on!
"Your Majesty, please see, from Chang'an to Shuofang, to Madame Fan's City, and finally to Wolf Juxu Mountain, this long supply line is more than 4,000 miles. The logistics required for such a huge army are unimaginably large, whether we can find the Xiongnu court or not, or encounter other circumstances, we only have two months, at most two months, and the army must retreat to the clouds or the upper valley. Huo Guang's tone was low, and he was more serious than before.
"Two months? What would have happened if we were still in Mobei at that time? "It is true that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is roughly talented, but it is impossible for him to understand everything in detail, and he is not exhaustive in the details of the marching battle.
"When the time comes, the supply will be unsustainable, not to mention, the heavy snow after the winter is enough to trap us in the vast grassland, once the grassland snows, we will be greeted by the annihilation of the whole army........" Huo Guang didn't dare to hide anything, not to say that the matter was serious, he was really afraid that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rose, he stayed on the grassland for too long, and what kind of ending would it go to, Huo Guang didn't dare to think about it.
"Well, everything about the Northern Tour depends on Aiqing!" Emperor Wu of Han also nodded heavily in agreement. This is the difference between the Ming Jun and the Dusk Jun, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is so happy, but he still knows how to advance and retreat.
Huo Guang stayed until dark before leaving Weiyang Palace, and when he returned to his mansion, as soon as he entered the gate, he heard melodious instrumental music coming from the inner house, including the familiar sound of the guqin Luqi, and there was also a strange instrumental sound that Huo Guang had never heard, but the two sounds were mixed, but it felt extremely harmonious and pleasant.
When Huo Guang walked into the courtyard where Zhuo Wenjun lived, he saw Zhuo Wenjun playing Lu Qi, while another voice came from a musical instrument similar to a pipa in Liu Xijun's hand. Huo Guang didn't understand the rhythm of music, and he didn't know anything about this instrument, but he only thought that the sound sounded very good.
And here not only Zhuo Wenjun and Liu Xijun are here, but even Li Yan, Huo Tang and Jin Chuan are listening with a look of intoxication.
Huo Guang stood under the eaves and didn't make a sound, such a beautiful scenery, and a beautiful song with a peerless beauty, even Huo Guang couldn't bear to break it, he just stood under the eaves and quietly admired it.
After a long time, the beautiful voice gradually stopped, and then Huo Guang slowly walked out.
"Master Hou is back!" Li Yan and others stood up to greet each other.
Huo Guang returned to the court, and on the first day he won the respect of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the court, these things have already spread all over Chang'an City, and the ladies of the Hou Mansion naturally learned the news, and they are naturally all honored for this.
"Why are you here?" Huo Guang looked at Liu Xijun and asked.
"The disciple is here to thank the teacher, this is a musical instrument made by Xijun himself, named 'Ruan', and given to the teacher!" Liu Xijun knelt in front of Huo Guang and raised the instrument named Ruan in the form of a pipa in his hand above his head.
"You built it yourself? I didn't think you had such a talent! You get up first, I don't help you because you are my disciple. Without you, Liu Xijun will have others, and as I have already said, the Han does not need a princess who is kind, and there will be no princess who is kind. Huo Guang looked at Ruan with interest, he only remembered Liu Xijun's miserable fate, and he didn't know that she still had such a talent in music.
"Little sister, you are so stupid, Master Hou has admitted that you are his disciple, why are you still stunned?" Huo Tang saw that Liu Xijun was still kneeling on the ground stupidly, and said with a smile.
"Really...... Are you sure? Liu Xijun raised his head and looked at Huo Guang in disbelief, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I just hope that one day in the future, you will not regret your decision today." Huo Guang couldn't see a trace of expression on his face, but he watched Liu Xijun say something inexplicable.
"The teacher is the reborn parent of the disciple, and he will never regret it in this life!" Huo Guang's words made Liu Xijun very puzzled, who in the world doesn't want to be Huo Guang's disciple now, but why does Huo Guang say that he hopes he won't regret it in the future? Although he couldn't figure it out, Liu Xijun still said without hesitation.
When Huo Guang returned to the study, Huo Tang also followed him to the study. Closing the door, Huo Tang asked Huo Guang puzzled: "Second brother, this Liu Xijun is obviously using the second brother's powerful position to change his fate, why does the second brother really want to accept her as a disciple?" ”
"How can I not know the mind of a child. I already knew what she was going to do when she first approached me, but it wasn't in her nature, it was just her unbearable experience that made her anxious to escape her fate. It's extraordinary that she's been able to do this, and she's trying to change her destiny with every bit of power she can muster. And what my brother has to do is also change his own destiny, so I see myself in her......."
In front of Huo Tang, Huo Guang didn't hide anything, and even told Huo Tang about such an unknown side. No one expected Huo Guang to help Liu Xijun because Huo Guang saw his own appearance in Liu Xijun.
"I don't understand......" Huo Guang said on the surface, Huo Tang must have understood, but she still said after a long time I don't understand.
"With my help, Liu Xijun has changed his fate. And I don't know when my fate will be in my own hands......" Huo Guang looked at Huo Tang and said with some melancholy.
This moment was very different from how he looked in the court......
In the following month, the entire Han Empire was once again in full swing. A steady stream of troops from all over the country converged towards Chang'an City, countless grain and grass baggage began to be transported to the northern fortress, and millions of people were busy in the entire land north of Chang'an, all of which were preparing for the emperor's northern tour.
In Taishan County, east of the Han Empire, hundreds of thousands of people also gathered here. There is a big city out of thin air at the foot of Mount Tai, and the mansions in the city rise from the ground, which is the mansion built by the princes of the Han Dynasty at the foot of Mount Tai.
A month passed quickly, outside the north of Chang'an City. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, dressed in military uniform, inspected the army in front of him under the escort of the palace guards.
30,000 Southern Expeditionary Army, 10,000 Period Gate Army, 20,000 Three Auxiliary Cavalry, 60,000 Noble Servant Army, and more than 50,000 county soldiers, the number of cavalry gathered this time reached nearly 180,000, even higher than the 150,000 planned by Huo Guang, which not only surprised Huo Guang and Emperor Wu of Han, but also caused an uproar in the world.
180,000 cavalry, this is an ultra-luxurious lineup that has never been seen since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Among them, the most noteworthy is that Hanoi County, which has only been pacified for three years after the civil strife has been pacified, has dispatched a full 10,000 elite horsemen. Hanoi was also the only county where both Taishou and Duwei accompanied the emperor on his southern tour. The other counties were all led by the commanders, but only Hanoi Taishou Dongfang Shuo was specially recruited by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the lead in high spirits, and headed towards the north under the escort of the Praetorian Guard, and behind him 180,000 cavalry moved in an orderly manner, and the army stretched all the way to a distance of a hundred miles!
Just when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty marched north with 180,000 cavalry, the army had not yet left Shuofang County. On the Qiang grassland west of Longxi County, a bluestone city stands on the side of Jishi Mountain.
This city, which is built entirely of stone, has a completely different style from the Han Dynasty, and even from other ethnic groups in the southwest.
There is one of the largest dwellings in the stone city, because it is completely made of stone, and it is impossible to build a large hall like the Han Dynasty. In this stone hall were sitting several people at this moment, dressed in fine brocade woven by the Great Han and mixed with animal skins. These people are dark-skinned and shiny, with wolfskin hats on their heads, and the whole person looks rough and savage.
There was a burst of Qiang language, and a Qiang general in the stone house said angrily, and he was talking to a Qiang man in his thirties who was not particularly burly in the center. Judging from the clothes and hair accessories, this Qiang man in the center should be the current leader of the Qiang people, Cangyang Liangyuan.
"Chief, the Han emperor has already taken 180,000 cavalry north out of Shuofang. The Huns' Uwei Shan Yu spread the word that we could start. The man who spoke had a long scar on his face, from the bridge of his nose to his ears, and his strong muscles held his clothes high and bulging, as if they were about to burst.
This Qiang man with a scarred face is the first warrior of the Qiang people today, that is, the first general Mangbrozhi under Cangyang Liangyuan. Legend has it that the scar on his face was scratched by a wild wolf on the grassland when he was six years old, but that time, the six-year-old Mangbroch killed the wolf with a boulder.
"Da Lun, how should our army act?" Kurao Ryohara set his eyes on the corner of the stone house, and if you didn't look closely in that dark corner, it would be difficult to find that there was still a person sitting there.
The Qiang people have not established a political power, and have always been loose in the form of tribes, but since the strong rise of Cangyang Liangyuan in just a few years, the originally loose Qiang tribe has appeared a unified situation, even if Cangyang Liangyuan has not yet been called king, but he is already the actual Qiang king.
"Longxi, here since ancient times is the place where soldiers must fight, the west can be based on the Han army in Hexi, the south can enter Bashu, and the east can be close to the Han people's three auxiliary land. As long as we occupy this place, we can reap the benefits of the fishermen when both the Han emperor and the Huns are defeated on the steppe. A faint voice came from the corner, which did not have the unique fierce and bold atmosphere of the Qiang people, but had a thick bookish atmosphere.
This man, who was originally called Da Lun by Cang Yang Liang, seems to be quite familiar with the geography and culture of the Han people, and the meaning of Da Lun, a unique title of the Qiang people, is similar to that of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
A ray of sunlight shone obliquely into the corner, and the mysterious Qiang Dalun finally revealed his mysterious veil. I saw that this man in his forties was wearing a large-sleeved Zen robe like a Han nobleman, and his hair was meticulously groomed, and he was restrained on the top of his head by a delicate jade crown, which gave people a sense of elegance at first glance.
If it weren't for the fact that this Dalun also had the unique skin color of the Qiang people and a face different from that of the Han people, anyone would regard him as a Han Confucian.......
