In this way, the stirrups officially stepped onto the stage of history through Huo Quzhi, and with Huo Quzhi's instructions, tens of thousands of iron stirrups were sent to the army in just over ten days. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" (Pingnan Romance) And when these hundred battle cavalry felt the effect of the stirrup, they were full of praise for this small thing, and they were also impressed by Huo Guang, a teenager who was more than ten years old.

"Second master, Hou Ye invites you to the big tent." Huo Guang sat in his military tent, looking intently at a sheepskin map. At this time, suddenly a soldier in black iron armor shouted in a deep voice outside the tent.

"Got it, I'll go over here." Although Huo Guang didn't see the situation outside the tent, he was very familiar with the people who came. It has been seven days since Huo Quai's army left Pingyang, and Huo Guang has also learned about many situations in the past few days. For example, the person outside the tent was one of the more than ten black-armored cavalry that Huo Guang saw for the first time, these people were indeed Huo Quai's personal guards, and even when they rushed to kill these people on the battlefield, they never left Huo Quai's illness for half a step.

There are only twelve such black-armored cavalry in total, and they are diehards that Huo Qubing began to carefully select and cultivate a few years ago. Not only on the battlefield, these twelve people were inseparable from Huo Quai, but in normal times, as long as Huo Qubing gave an order, they would not frown if these people died. These twelve people are collectively called the Black Iron Twelve Guards, which can be regarded as a major symbol unique to Huo Quzhi.

As early as eight days ago, when Huo Guang offered the stirrup, Huo Qubing granted Huo Guang a position in front of the army, in fact, the so-called engagement is the staff of senior officials, specifically like the main book, Gong Cao, etc. are the staff members with official positions. And Huo Guang is only engaged in but has no specific official position, of course, this is already a good start, at least he has a legal identity in the army.

As for the Black Iron Twelve Guards calling Huo Guang the second master, Huo Guang also saw some doorways from here. If the formal title in the army should be Huo Zhen, but the Twelve Guards call him the second master, this title is obviously the title in the family, and it can also be seen that the Twelve Guards are really loyal to Huo Quzhi alone, which belongs to Huo Quzhi's private person. It can even be said that in the eyes of their twelve guards, there is only Huo Quai, and there is no Han court!

Huo Quai's big tent was very close to Huo Guang, and there were twelve guards leading the way along the way, and there was no investigation. And in this short process, Huo Guang also asked his brother intentionally or unintentionally why he was looking for him at this time.

"Eleven, do you know what my brother is looking for me?" The Twelve Guards do not have their own names, that is, they are codenamed from one to twelve.

"The subordinates don't know, but there was an envoy from His Majesty a moment ago." The Twelve Guards belong to the nature of retainers, and they are also half of their masters for Huo Guang. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" didn't hide anything until eleven, but he only said a part of what he knew, and he didn't say anything speculative about it.

"The envoy of Emperor Wu of Han? Is it difficult to come to the decree at this time? But it's about this time. Huo Guang originally guessed that there should be someone sent by Emperor Wu of Han to deliver the decree in the past few days. Because according to the original plan of the Han army, Huo Qubing led the army out of Dingxiang and directly attacked Yizhi Xiandanyu. However, Huo Guang knew that in history, it was Wei Qing's department that actually met Yizhi Xiandanyu, and Huo Quai's illness was not out of Dingxiang, but from Daijun, and then met with Youbeiping Taishou Lu Bode outside the Saiwai, and then went north to cross the desert before encountering the headquarters of King Zuoxian.

The battle of Mobei was originally divided into two routes, but the original plan of Emperor Wu of Han was not like this. Then it is certain that before Huo Qu's illness is released, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will be redeployed. And after the march in the past few days, Huo Quai's army has arrived at Mayi, and then go north, after Yanmen is Dingxiang, and turn to the right is Daijun. Huo Guang estimated that Emperor Wu of Han's will should have come at this time.

Unlike the heavily guarded periphery of the camp, there were no guards around Huo Quai's big tent, and Huo Guang walked in directly after opening the tent curtain. At this moment, there are not many people in the big tent, but Huo Guang swept the five or six people in the tent, but all of them were key figures in the Han army, and almost everyone here left a brilliant mark in the history books. Although these people are not as famous as those generals in Wei Qing's department, after the Battle of Mobei, all of these people who have not yet been made marquis have been made marquis, which is a world of difference compared to the fact that no one in Wei Qing's department has been made a marquis.

"Meet the champion Hou and meet the generals." Huo Guang was very respectful and saluted these people when he entered the account, and through the contact in the past few days, Huo Guang also had a relatively simple understanding of these people, at least the names and positions in the army were known. However, at this moment, except for Huo Quai, everyone else directly addressed the general.

"Hmm." Huo Quzhi hummed slightly, and the other few people almost didn't look at Huo Guang, as if they hadn't seen Huo Guang at all. Only one of these people had a smile on his face and nodded slightly to Huo Guang.

The person who nodded to Huo Guang is named Zhao Ponu, and now his position in the army is Eagle Strike General, speaking of which, this person was originally a marquis, but some time ago, he was cut off as a marquis because he violated the 'golden rule'. The so-called 'Golden Law' is actually a means for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to weaken the princes, and he stipulated that each prince must offer the prescribed gold during the temple sacrifice every year, and if the quantity, color, and size of the pool are slightly different, the marquis will be cut off. According to historical records, there were more than 100 people who were knighted during the period of Emperor Wu of the Guanghan Dynasty because of the 'golden rule'. Unfortunately, Zhao Ponu is one of them!

And Zhao Ponu's original title was 'Cong Huhou'. Huo Quai's military position is also a hussar general, and his past and political stance can be explained from Zhao Ponu's title. Zhao Ponu is now in his thirties, and he is not the oldest among the people in the tent, but he is not young anymore. This person can be regarded as a hardcore under Huo Quai, a well-deserved pioneer general. And Huo Guang also estimated that Huo Quai's reuse of Zhao Ponu again this time must be to let him recover as soon as possible.

Among the few people present, except for the Marquis Zhao Ponu, the Marquis of Yiguan Gao Buzhi and the Marquis of Changwu Zhao Anji had the highest status, because these two people were the only people with the Marquis except Huo Quai.

Gao Buzhi is also Huo Quzhi's henchman, and he has been under Huo Quzhi's command in the past few years, and even he was named Yiguanhou because he followed Huo Qubing in the Battle of Hexi, but this person's personality is a little irritable, and he is a little arrogant, and no one buys his account except Huo Quai. ( Pingnan Romance)

Zhao Anji, Marquis of Changwu, was not actually a Han Chinese, he was originally a small king of the Huns, and later descended to the Han Dynasty and was named Marquis of Changwu. In addition to the Xiongnu kings, there were not a hundred but eighty other kings, and the princes of the Xiongnu were about the same as the marquis of the Han Dynasty. This time, Zhao Anji went to Huo Quai's command, and one of the most important roles was to guide.

The remaining three people are Weishan, the capital of the northern land, and the other two Hun generals Fulu Zhi and Yi Jixuan, these two people were also the little kings of the Huns, but the little kings were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, they were originally worse than Zhao Anji, so they have not been sealed until now.

These are the ones who can enter the handsome tent, and at this time, Huo Qubing can call Huo Guang over, and it can be seen that he really has the heart to cultivate this younger brother.

"I have called you here to convey to you the latest will of His Majesty." Huo Qubing saw that everyone who should have come came, so he spoke. When the others heard that it was the emperor's will, they all stood quietly with solemn expressions. Fortunately, in this era, there is not so much etiquette between the monarch and the minister in the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, the ministers of the court can still have seats, and they don't have to kneel down at any time when they see the emperor, so there is no scene at this moment when the emperor's dictation comes out, and he kneels down in a big way.

"The general learned from the captured Hun cavalry that the main force of Yizhixian had moved eastward, so His Majesty ordered our army to change out of Daijun and look for the main force of Yizhixian for a decisive battle. Therefore, our marching route should be changed, and we should immediately turn to Daijun and leave the Great Wall from Baideng, and then you will go back to the camp to give orders. Huo Qubing briefly talked about it, and sure enough, as Huo Guang thought, at this time, Huo Quai's army changed its plan and went north out of Daijun.

However, Huo Guang remembered that the Xiongnu army that Huo Qubing encountered in Mobei was still the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, not Yizhi Xian Danyu. According to the original arrangement of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Quai's legion was the real elite, and their target was Yizhi Xiandanyu. In the end, what happened to Wei Qing and Huo Quai's legion was exactly the opposite, which directly led to the Wei Qing legion only a small victory, and let Yi Zhi run away in the chaos, and in the end, no one in the entire legion had any merit, and Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi committed suicide and the other was turned into commoners.

"Maybe this so-called captive was deliberately arranged by Yi Zhixian, but this is just my guess, and now I think it's better not to say it lightly." Huo Guang felt that this so-called military situation was probably a ploy used by the Huns, the purpose was to make Huo Quai's army pounce, and on the other hand, Yi Zhi was caught off guard by surprise when he was so solemn. However, Huo Guang also knew that no one would pay attention to telling this very likely truth now.

"What? A-Guang, what do you think? The generals ordered them to leave, but Huo Qubing found Huo Guang's expression strange. Because Huo Guang had already brought him many surprises, and now that there were no outsiders, Huo Quzhi asked directly.

"This ...... Brother, there's something I don't know if I should say? Huo Guang didn't expect that he still didn't hide Huo Quai's illness from this little caution, but he couldn't say such an important thing rashly, so he said tentatively.

"It's just my two brothers here, and it's okay to talk about anything."

"I'm afraid this is a conspiracy of the Huns!" Huo Guang said, and when he spoke, he also paid special attention to observing the changes in Huo Quzhi's expression.

"Go on." Huo Quzhi's face did not change significantly, but he said three words lightly.

"Brother, after we changed the route of the march, there is the Hanhai Desert Group in front, where there are all great deserts and Gobi, and even the Huns rarely move in that area, I suspect that this is a situation deliberately laid out by the Huns!" Huo Guang thought about it for a while, and he felt that it could only be explained from a geographical point of view.

"Huh? Do you mean to say that there are spies in our Han army? Huo Quzhi's expression finally moved, and he didn't know why he thought that what Huo Guang was referring to was actually a spy in the Han army.

"This ...... Brother, I didn't mean that......" Huo Guang panicked, he didn't expect that there was any shadow of a spy behind this change in the marching plan.

"If Yi Zhixian really didn't move east, then my uncle would be in trouble. Most of his subordinates are infantrymen, and if Yi Zhi waits for work, his uncle can only win miserably. If it is really a conspiracy, it must be Zhao Xin. Huo Quzhi put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the tent. Although he didn't doubt it much at first, but after Huo Guang said this, he thought a lot.

"Right...... It's Zhao Xin. How did I forget about him! When Huo Guang heard the name Zhao Xin, he immediately remembered many things that he had forgotten. At this time, Huo Guangcai finally remembered that the Xiongnu conspiracy he guessed was really like that, and its mastermind was Zhao Xin.
