"Report, Master Hou. Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa (Pingnan Romance) The forward general captured a team of six Xiongnu horses. ”

Huo Quai's army has marched to the desert, which was originally a fertile pasture for the Huns. But now even the place where the Huns originally lived has disappeared, which makes the Han army have a feeling of being empty.

The desert is vast and sparsely populated, and in the absence of knowing where the enemy's main force is, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to find the enemy in the desert, but fortunately, at this time, there is finally news of the enemy.

The process of interrogating the Hun cavalry was very simple, and Huo Guang also listened to it all the time. These Hun cavalry were wearing uniform leather armor, and at first glance they were better than those people from the small Hun tribes that Huo Guang and they first met, and Zhao Anji said that these people were the soldiers under the command of King Zuoxian.

It's just that the sergeant who is proficient in the Hun language asked these people a few questions, and these Hun soldiers didn't talk as bloody nonsense as in the TV series, so they answered honestly.

The Huns' answer also confirmed what Huo Guang said that day. Yizhi Xian Dan Yu did not move east at all, and Zuo Xian Wang also conscientiously implemented the strategy of Yi Zhi Xian and Zhao Xin, and the entire Zuo Di army and people all retreated north for thousands of miles, and Zuo Xian Wang's troops had all withdrawn from the desert. And from the mouth of the Hun soldiers, it was vaguely known that King Zuo Xian led his troops in front, and General Zuo, King Tuntou, and King Han set up three lines of defense behind King Zuo Xian to defend their positions, and they were ready to wait for the Han army to go. ( Pingnan Romance)

After learning such important information from the Hun soldiers, Huo Qubing immediately held a pre-military meeting. There were a lot more people participating this time than the previous times, but there were not so many people but no one spoke, and from beginning to end, only Huo Quzhi spoke alone.

"I have already written to Your Majesty about this matter, tell me what to do next for our army?" Huo Qubing looked around and briefly said the information of the Huns.

Huo Guang originally thought that since Huo Qubing asked like this, then the following people should start discussing and expressing their opinions, but he didn't expect that the generals would surprisingly make the same move, and almost at the same time, all the generals stood up and stood solemnly, clasped their fists at Huo Qubing and said, "I will wait for everything to obey the orders of the Hou Ye." ”

Look at the appearance of these people, it is clear that we will do what you say about the champion, Huo Guang now has a more intuitive understanding of Huo Quzhi's status in the Han army. With such a brother, Huo Guang is not worried about the official road!

"Well, since this is the case, then Ben Hou will order that the whole army bring enough dry food for five days, and my 50,000 troops will abandon the baggage of the rear army and rush at full speed to attack the Xiongnu Zuoxian King. If there is no food, we will rob King Zuoxian's cattle and sheep, and there will be no arrow supplies, so we will go to the battlefield to capture the Huns. Are the generals willing to follow Benhou to kill slaves and make contributions? Huo Quzhi waved his hand and directly announced a bold plan. You must know that behind Huo Quai's 50,000 cavalry, there are actually 100,000 half-foot soldiers and half-civilian soldiers, and this army has been maintaining a distance of about a day with 50,000 cavalry. Huo Quzhi's current decision is undoubtedly to give up heavy supplies, but this is in line with his strategy of running thousands of miles to attack King Zuo Xian in history.

"I'll swear to follow Master Hou to the death!" The generals replied with their fists clenched again, this time in a more sonorous voice. Huo Guang found that just a few words from Huo Qubing had detonated the momentum of these generals to the highest point, and invisibly twisted dozens of people into one. This kind of means is courageous, it is simply a natural god of war!

"If you can have two or three out of ten brothers, this life may be able to transcend history. Originally, Huo Guang in history was only very politically capable of means and achievements, if I could also make contributions on the battlefield in this life, I would really be able to become a general. This is the ultimate of human ministers, and there are only a handful of people who can really get in and out of the picture throughout the ages! Huo Guang also had a pride in his heart that was triggered by Huo Quai, but unlike other generals, he only focused on being a marquis and a general in this war, Huo Guang thought more long-term and had a more ambitious goal.

Soon Huo Quai's military order was passed down, and none of the more than 50,000 cavalry received a dry ration that was only enough for five days. Because considering the long-distance attack, all the more than 50,000 cavalry did not bring anything except their weapons and dry rations, which means that from tonight onwards, these people did not even have to sleep in tents.

"Ah Guang, I think you will stay with the baggage army!" Huo Quzhi called Huo Guang to the big tent alone, intending to let Huo Guang stay.

"Brother, the little brother won't be a burden to you, just take me with you!" Huo Guang didn't want to stop here, the real battle of Mobei hadn't started yet.

"No, I only have a younger brother like you, what if something happens?" Huo Quzhi said with a serious expression, and his tone was undoubted.

"The younger brother knows that the elder brother cares about me, so does the elder brother think that a small sapling growing in the house can become a towering tree? I am willing to fight with my brother in all directions, although I have no regrets in death! Huo Guang is also iron-hearted, he compares himself to a small sapling, and Huo Quzhi is the house that protects him. But everyone knows that a small sapling can only become a towering tree if it experiences wind and rain. At this moment, Huo Guang also learned from those generals, knelt down on one knee as soon as he hugged his fists, and said loudly.

"Okay...... is worthy of being my younger brother of Huo Quai, and my Huo family boy should have this spirit. Since you have said so, Brother Wei will not say anything more. This is the sword that my uncle gave me when I first went to war, and I have never left this sword, and I will give it to you now. Although Huo Quzhi did not agree with Huo Guangzhen to go to the battlefield in his heart, he showed a relieved look after listening to Huo Guang's words, and at the same time untied the sword on his waist and handed it to Huo Guang with both hands.

Huo Guang also knelt on one knee, looking at the sword in Huo Quzhi's hand, he was also surprised in his heart. You must know that as a general, the saber that first enters the battlefield is of great significance for a lifetime, and this kind of thing cannot be passed on to anyone except for his own son-in-law, and even many generals will not give away the saber of the first time on the battlefield until they die. Moreover, Huo Quai's saber was given by Wei Qing, and the meaning of this is not ordinary, which is equivalent to saying that this saber represents the two military gods of the Han Dynasty.

This is Huo Quzhi's attention to himself, Huo Guang's heart is very moved, this is also the first time he really feels the friendship between brothers, although his soul has changed people, but at this moment Huo Guang really admitted Huo Quzhi's brother from the heart.

Huo Guang caught the saber with both hands and clenched the saber tightly, but at this moment he found that the strength in Huo Quzhi's hand had not been completely loosened. It stands to reason that Huo Quzhi has so solemnly handed over the sword to his own hand, and it is impossible to regret it, but he has not let go for a long time, which is contrary to common sense.

But soon Huo Guang's ears sounded Huo Quai's voice: "There is another sentence you remember, the eldest husband can only die on the battlefield, and he can't steal his life!" After saying this, Huo Quzhi let go of his hand.

"Ah Guang remembers it in his heart and never dares to forget it! If something happens, I'll kill myself with this sword! Huo Guang's heart sank, he didn't expect Huo Quzhi to say such a sentence to him. However, he can understand Huo Quzhi's mood very well, people like Huo Qubing have a pride that ordinary people do not have, the more he values Huo Guang, the more he will impose his requirements on Huo Guang.

Huo Qubing can die on the battlefield, but he must not and will not become a prisoner or surrender. Then Huo Guang can only do this, either return to Dahan alive, or die in the Mobei grassland, there is no third possibility!

"Seven, eight." After Huo Guang walked out of the big tent, Huo Quzhi paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and after a long time, he suddenly stopped and shouted outside the tent.

"The subordinates are here!" As soon as Huo Quai's words fell, two twelve guards walked into the account, and they were the seventh and eighth of the twelve guards.

"From now on, the two of you will be close to protect Ah Guang's safety." Huo Qubing called these two people, and asked them to protect Huo Guang.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the seventh and eighth children, and they did not question Huo Quai's order, but just clenched their fists and said, "The subordinates obey the order." However, the two of them were surprised in their hearts, because the Twelve Guards had followed Huo Qubing for many years, and there was never a precedent for leaving, even Huo Quai's son Huo Heng had never let the Twelve Guards protect him, but today he asked two of them to protect Huo Guang, it seems that Huo Guang's status in Huo Quai's heart is indeed unusual.

As soon as the sky was slightly light on the second day, the army of 50,000 was lightly mounted and approached Mobei like a hurricane. Because this is a thousand-mile attack, there is likely to be an emergency on the way, and all Huo Qu's illness is directly in the front army, so that the commander can make arrangements at the first time.

And Huo Guang and the Xiongnu surrendered to the Fulu branch at the tail of the brigade cavalry, where there were 3,000 cavalry under the command of the Fulu branch. Before leaving, Huo Quzhi also summoned Fulu Zhi alone, but no one knew what he said to Fulu Zhi.

"Old man, why don't you go to my brother's side, but follow me?" Huo Quzhi saw the seventh and eighth of the twelve guards appear in front of him early in the morning, but it was not strange to see any Han army in this army, and all Huo Guang didn't care much, but in the past half a day, the two of them were still behind him inch by inch, and Huo Guang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Back to the second master, the Hou master has already ordered the two of us to protect the second master from now on. If the second master has any orders, just say it. Lao Ba replied respectfully, although these two people are both Huo Quai's personal guards, their personalities are very different. Lao Qi is a taciturn man, and he looks like an elm pimple in front of anyone. The eighth is better, he is clever, and he has to thank him, and he is also the most active among the twelve guards.

These are all things that Huo Guang has learned in these days, and Huo Guang also felt a little surprised that Huo Quzhi sent two of the twelve guards to protect himself, of course, he felt more in his heart.

"My brother treats me like this, I will definitely repay my brother in this life, and I don't know what kind of disease my brother has caused in history, if I can find a way to let my brother live a few more years, it will be of great benefit to him and me!" Huo Guang felt in his heart, but he was also worried about one thing, that is, Huo Qu would die of illness in two years. Now I can't see anything unusual about Huo Qu's body, and many diseases in ancient times that were not considered anything in later generations were incurable.

Huo Guang thought to himself, he had changed history, so could he also change Huo Quai's fate?
