Chapter 95: The Route of the Western Expedition
Among them, Wei Qing's performance is the most outstanding, he has both Li Guang and Cheng Bu's strengths and weaknesses! Facing the enemy is thoughtful and impermeable, so that the enemy has no chance to take advantage of it! But once you find the flaws of the enemy army, you can decisively put all your forces into it, and you will definitely not lose the chance to win because of your concerns!
It's been a long time since the simulation battle! Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi both sighed with emotion, they no longer dared to look at Wei Qing with the eyes of ordinary relatives! They knew that the young man in front of them would definitely be above them in the future!
has an unparalleled talent in military affairs, and is willing to work hard to study and let go of his posture to ask them for advice, the most important thing is that his sister is the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; If you have the strength, you have the possibility of success, and if your sister is deeply favored by His Majesty, she will not lack opportunities to make contributions! Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi already understood that no matter who became the main general of the Western Expedition, there would be no shortage of Wei Qing under their accounts! This expedition to the west will surely become a stage for this young man to stand out in the political arena of the Han Dynasty!
Although he felt a little jealous, Wei Qing acted thoughtfully, and every time he saw them, he didn't show off his relationship at all, but lowered his posture and put himself in the position of being the last to learn, which made Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi and others not angry at all!
As for the other Gongsun Ao, this guy has a life-saving grace for Wei Qing, when Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu was pregnant, which caused the jealousy of Chen Ajiao, the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; Chen Ajiao's mother, the eldest princess of Guantao, Liu Xuan, intended to kill Wei Qing, who was on an errand in Jianzhang Palace; After Gongsun Ao heard the news, he led the strong men to save Wei Qing, so that Wei Qing was saved from death, and Gongsun Ao also fell into Liu Che's eyes, laying the groundwork for the future soaring! These two are so good that they are about to wear a pair of pants, so naturally they will not be jealous.
These days, they are either working on strategies in the sand table room, or they go to the horse farm to familiarize themselves with the new harness, and they are busy all day! And Li You's side also stopped thinking after discussing the art of war with them for a while but did not gain any skills, either playing around in Chang'an City with Chen Qingzhi, Pan Feng and others with Fumi Camel and Hu Weishka, or quietly hiding aside to practice archery, Zhang Qian still has to live in this world after he leaves, and it is not good to leave hidden dangers!
So since he leaked the bottom in front of Li Guang for the first time, Li You looked for him a few more times and became a beginner; This made Li Guang feel a pity, he regarded Li You's performance last time as a coincidence, which was regarded as an exemption from a hidden danger.
In addition, he often went to the homes of Li Guang, Wei Qing and others as guests to talk about the Western Regions; This **** was invited by Wei Qing to come to his house as a guest! When he entered the house, he found that Wei Qing was carrying a two- or three-year-old child by his side.
"Is this General Wei's child?" Li You touched his pocket embarrassedly, as if he didn't have any gifts!
"No, no! This is my sister's child! Wei's nephew! Wei Qing was blushed by his misunderstanding, and hurriedly pushed the child in front of him, "Go sick, meet Dr. Taizhong!" ”
"Huo is going to be sick to see Dr. Taizhong!" When the pink and cute child heard this, he immediately saluted Li You in style, with a hint of agility in his eyes.
"What a clever boy! Well? Your name is Huo Quai? As soon as he praised half a sentence, Li You was shocked! The extraordinarily cute-looking child in front of him turned out to be the future famous champion Hou and hussar general Huo Quai?
Wei Qing has three sisters, among which Wei Zifu was favored by Liu Che and was included in the harem, while the other sister, Wei Shao'er, had an affair with Huo Zhongru, a small official in Pingyang County, and Huo Quai! Huo Zhongru's cowardly personality was disliked by Wei Qing, so he brought Huo Quzhi to his side whenever he had time, and when he saw Li You's surprised appearance, he couldn't help but wonder a little, "Doctor Zhang? Dr. Zhang? What's wrong with you? ”
"The future of this son is limitless! will definitely become a generation of famous generals! Make an immortal achievement! Zhang was just taken by his face, so he was a little distracted, and I hope to forgive me for the rudeness! Li Youshen took a while to dispel Wei Qing's doubts, as an elder, he doesn't care if what the other party says makes sense, but he always likes to listen to good words to praise children! Wei Qing was also very happy when he heard this.
"Came in a hurry, didn't bring any gifts!" Li You stretched out his hand and touched it in his arms for a while, and finally found a piece of jade pendant and handed it over, that Huo Quzhi not only did not recognize his life, but also directly stretched out his hands to let Li You hug him.
"Dr. Zhang is so polite, it makes Wei a little embarrassed!" Wei Qing was also surprised, although his nephew did not recognize life, he had never been so intimate with outsiders.
Li Youle picked Huo Quzhi up, and while walking in with Wei Qing, he pinched Huo Quai's pink nose and said, "Go sick!" Uncle told you something to remember! No matter where you go in the future, you can't drink raw water, and if you're thirsty, you must boil the water before drinking! Do you understand? ”
"Remember to go sick!" Although he still couldn't understand what he meant, Huo Quzhi still agreed in a milky voice!
Hey, I hope you remember, right? But now that the Bank of China says he's dead, maybe he won't die young because he drank unclean water, right?
After a few days of leisurely days, Li You was called to the sand table room by Liu Che again, and after such a long discussion, the route of the western expedition has also been preliminarily determined; Wei Qing is holding a thin stick on the sand table to explain the route of the march to the important ministers of the Han Dynasty, "This western expedition will send 20,000 elite horsemen, starting from Longxi, attacking the Xiongnu in Hexi, passing through Wulu Mountain (Wusheling Ridge), crossing Hunushui (now Shiyang River in Gansu), all the way west through Yanzhi Mountain, until the King of Xiutu and the King of Kun Evil can be collected."
"In addition, in Henan (referring to the land south of the Hetao, not today's Henan Province) and Hebei (Dai County, Shanggu County, Yanmen County, etc.), heavy troops need to be arranged to guard against the attack of the Xiongnu!" The Han Dynasty intends to adopt the strategy of defending in the east and attacking in the west, taking advantage of the emptiness in the area west of the Xiongnu River to attack, and taking a defensive position in the east!
At present, the Han Dynasty is not yet able to wage a full-scale war with the Xiongnu, so this strategy is quite feasible! And the route explained by Wei Qing is almost exactly the same as the route of the Second Battle of Hexi commanded by Huo Qubing in the spring of the second year of Han Yuanjia (121 BC)! It's just that the number of troops sent this time is twice as many as Huo Quai's!
This route was studied by Dou Ying, Tian Wei, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing and others for many days, and they had reached an agreement before that, so naturally they would not have any opinions.
Liu Che also agreed with their decision, "Okay, let's start preparing with this route!" It's just that you have thought about the candidate for the leader this time? ”
