Wei Qing returned to the mansion, and a house slave hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello general, a person came today, saying that he came from the north, and handed over a plate to the general with his own hands." ”

"Show me. ”

"No. ”

Wei Qing held a smooth and simple plate, there was no word on it, he was puzzled, carefully observed this plate, and found that it was much thicker than the daily use, and it was about a foot long, and he always felt that there was something abnormal in the middle of the plate, so he took out a knife and scraped a few times on the board, and a splicing pattern was instantly revealed on the board, and the plate was pulled away from the texture in an instant, and it turned out that the plate was a box that was buckled together like a sword scabbard, and a rope was exposed in the box, and the rope was pulled out to bring out a small sheepskin letter, Wei Qing unfolded it and watched, only to see that it was written: "The Han thugs pseudo-caravan entered Hungary, and they will join forces with Hungary to fight against the Han, and the caravan carries mysterious creatures, pay attention to defense. ”

Wei Qing thought about it after reading it, and then looked at the font that was very familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly realized: "Master, my master is still in the Han Dynasty." "Yes, Wei Qing is familiar with Zhang Jiayang's font, and now this news appears in front of him again, which makes Wei Qing very kind, as if the master seems to have known that Han and Hun are going to fight again, and then think about it in my heart, the master is a master in the world, and it is normal for this information to be predicted without notification, it would be great if I could consult the master on the eve of the expedition, but where are you, master.

Early the next morning, Wei Qing came to the barracks training ground, and as soon as he entered the camp gate, he saw a young man waiting at the camp gate, and when he saw Wei Qing, he shouted: "General, soldier Cao Xiang came to report." ”

Wei Qing watched fixedly, remembering what the princess begged him yesterday, and immediately said with a smile: "Is the guy very energetic, I can think that it is really amazing to join the army to defend the Han Sheji, train well with everyone, you are the future general." ”

"Thank you for the general's compliment, Cao Xiang will definitely do his best to train. ”

"Okay, get in the queue right away, today's training is about to begin. ”

"No. ”

Cao Xiang quickly ran to the training ground and stood at the forefront of the training team.

Wei Qing stood on the training platform and cleared his throat and said: "Brothers, train according to your daily plan today, don't be lazy, if you don't sweat during training, you will bleed during wartime, and even lose your life, do you hear clearly?"

"No. Everyone shouted in unison.

"Let's go. Wei Qing shouted.

"Hah...... Hey......" The training ground began to hear a burst of training.

Wei Qing looked at the soldiers' training with a clear eye, among which Cao Xiang quickly integrated into the team, he was very pleased, and sighed that the children born in such a powerful family can have such an attitude is inseparable from the princess's teaching.

At this moment, a messenger stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has sent a decree to ask the general to enter the palace immediately." ”

"No. ”

Wei Qing hurriedly came to Weiyang Palace, and when Liu Che saw Wei Qing, he sighed and said, "Prime Minister Sun Hong is booming." ”

"Ah, when. ”

"Just last night, very suddenly, I was a little reluctant. ”

"Please mourn Your Majesty, and you should choose a new prime minister as soon as possible. ”

"Well, then let the former imperial historian Li Cai be the prime minister, so that the general's next expedition will be smoother. ”

"Your Majesty. When Wei Qing heard the name of this person who had marched with him to the Xiongnu and made outstanding military exploits, he also felt honored by Liu Che's insight.

"Okay, let's get a good grasp of the training team, after March, Zheng and Zhao Yu will raise money and food and send troops, during this time, we must choose the right team, and we still need the general as the backbone of the team. ”

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust. ”

"Okay, there is another matter that needs to be communicated with the general, this matter is my family affair but it is also related to the general. ”

"Oh, please make it clear to your Majesty. ”

"After thinking about it, I am ready to make the prince the crown prince, and as the nephew of the general, I don't know what the general's opinion is. ”

Wei Qing climbed up and prostrated on the ground and kowtowed: "If the appropriate ministers are all Your Majesty's pawns, Your Majesty can consult the ministers with such a major national matter, the ministers are flattered, no matter what your Majesty orders, the ministers will follow them." ”

Liu Che was very satisfied with Wei Qing's answer, but he still needed to be artistic in speaking, and immediately said: "Aiqing doesn't have to be so polite, now it's just you and me, it's my family affair, but he is not our family affair, in the future, Liu's family will rely on the general to consolidate, I hope the general will not break his word and live up to my trust." ”

"Even if the minister dies nine times in his life, he will not be able to repay His Majesty's kindness, please let Your Majesty know it. ”

"Okay, Aiqing, please get up quickly. ”

"No. ”

Then the two of them looked at the map for a long time, and Liu Che said, "I don't know if the general can understand the results I want to send troops this time?"

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty. ”

Liu Che pointed to the map with his baton and said, "Ask the Xiongnu royal court not to have a foothold in these areas, and I want to paralyze their command center." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, there is no need to fight for a few rounds, and the minister guarantees that the royal court of the Xiongnu has no place south of the desert. ”

"Okay, just and I want to. ”

In this way, Li Cai succeeded Gongsun Hong and took office as prime minister, and Liu Che's martial arts road will go more smoothly from then on.

Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and now the Han soldiers are strong and strong, Zheng and Zhao Yu really transferred food and military salaries from all directions, and Liu Che began to divide the troops and send generals: "Gongsun Ao is the lieutenant general, Gongsun He is the left general, Zhao Xin is the former general, Su Jian is the right general, Li Guang is the rear general, Li Fu is the strong crossbow general, all obey the orders of the general Wei Qing and go to the Xiongnu." ”

The following people said in unison: "No." ”

At this time, Huo Qubing hurriedly came to the palace and said, "Your Majesty, go to the sick and lead the brothers to obey the general's orders." ”

Liu Che suddenly saw Huo Quai's illness and said with some joy: "I really forgot about you, I named you the captain of Bi Yao, and led your brothers to listen to orders under the general's account." ”

Huo Quzhi immediately grinned excitedly and said, "No, the minister obeys the order." The reincarnation ran down the temple in a puff of smoke and hurriedly ran out to inform his brothers.

The 100,000 army quietly gathered in Dingxiang in five ways, and under the dispatch of Wei Qing, the army was divided into six roads and set off into the vast grassland in turn, among which Zhao Xin led a team composed of Xiongnu troops to open the way, rushing to the front line, and the other teams were distributed in the left and right middle and rear according to the order. Reported to the general, the former general shouted the Hun cavalry, who was struggling to chase the deserters. ”

Wei Qing was happy in his heart, and asked with a serious face: "Okay, where did the former general encounter the Hun cavalry?

"Back to the general, the Hun cavalry is about 10,000 horses, according to which there are more than fifty miles. ”

"Well," Wei Qing closed his eyes and thought for a long time, "immediately order General Zhao to stand by and wait for the rear brigade to follow before pursuing." ”

"No. The messenger turned on his horse and hurried away.

The deputy general next to Wei Qing was a little puzzled: "General, General Zhao has a big victory over the Huns in front, why don't you let him take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”

"The generals don't know that General Zhao led 3,000 men and horses, and the Hun cavalry with 10,000 horses can easily defeat the other party. ”

"The general is very worried. ”

Wei Qing said anxiously: "The squadron and the rear pair should follow up urgently, and meet the former general as soon as possible." ”

"No. ”

At this time, Huo Quzhi stepped forward and said: "General, I want to take my department to the front to investigate, if I can help, I will help, if not, I will come back immediately to listen to the general's dispatch." ”

Wei Qing said: "Captain Yao should stay in the tent and wait for the battle situation to be clear before acting alone." ”

Huo Quzhi immediately became a little impatient, stared at the big round eyes and said: "General, I am not here to play, I want to kill the Hun enemy army and make contributions to the Han Dynasty, I have been following the Shuai Tent for so many days, and I don't even know what the Hun enemy army looks like, how can I make a contribution, I beg the general." ”

Wei Qing looked at Huo Quai's eager eyes, and said with some hesitation, "Captain Yao listened to the order and allowed to lead his men and horses to pursue thirty miles forward, and he could not surpass the former general's team. ”

When Huo Quzhi heard that he had limited the area for himself, he didn't want to agree, but thinking that he could go out alone, he didn't care about anything and said, "My subordinates have orders." ”

Huo Quzhi walked out of the tent and said softly: "General, how can you still restrain yourself when you leave the tent, see your nephew make a great contribution to you." ”

Huo Qubing led eight hundred horses and horses to fly out of the cage eagle and flew to the clear blue sky, Huo Quzhi ordered the eight hundred young warriors with a finger of his knife: "Everyone, this time is not in the training ground, all give me real skills, the general who kills many enemies will be rewarded, who dares to retreat, ask for his head, and set off." ”

"No" The eight hundred men and horses disappeared in the vast grassland in an instant, once the team rushed out, they had already forgotten how many miles they had walked, not to mention the agreement that Wei Qing gave them, along the way they saw the corpses of scattered Han soldiers and Hun soldiers who died in battle, running from day to night, slowly not hearing the neighing of the surrounding war horses, some were just the wheezing sound of the eight hundred war horses and warriors, it was dark before resting, and the sky was hazy and then galloped forward, about a distance of several hundred miles, on this day when the sky was getting darker and ready to run for a while to rest, he suddenly heard the neighing of the horses, Huo Quzhi immediately signaled with his hand to hide in place, and he turned over several grassland slopes in a row, Suddenly, I saw a bright light in front of me, Huo Qubing was very bold, so he quietly approached, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a city, saying that the city was actually surrounded by fences, more like a big village, there were several very large tents in the middle of many tents, and there were many Hun soldiers standing outside the tents, like the central control area of this city, Huo Qubing saw the terrain layout clearly and quietly returned to the team and said:" Listen, there is a Xiongnu city ahead, our task is coming, it doesn't matter where this is, we rush in, as long as it is the Huns, we are our enemies, those who surrender are tied up, and those who resist are killed. ”

"No. ”

Huo Quzhi raised his knife and said: "Advance, those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded, and those who are timid and retreat will be killed." ”

These 800 warriors instantly rushed into this city, the Hun soldiers in the city have not yet figured out what the situation is, and instantly messed up their positions, both the Hun soldiers and the people are scattered and fled without resistance, in the face of these 800 wolves, these Hun soldiers and generals instantly became a flock of sheep, and when they killed the largest tent in the middle, an old man with a knife slashed at Huo Quai, they were the opponents of this group of wolves, and instantly became a ghost under the knife, and then looked at a few people in the tent, and saw that they were all Hun nobles dressed in clothes, Huo Qubing was going to cut with a knife, and the knife had not yet fallen This group of people all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, among them, there was even a way to speak the Chinese language"The general spared his life, and we surrendered. ”

Huo Quzhi instantly became interested in this group of people and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are Da Shan Yu's family, and this is Da Shan Yu's uncle Luo Gubi, and Da Shan Yu's sin against Da Han has nothing to do with us. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you are honest, we won't take your life. ”

"Who are the others?"

"The old man who died was Shan Yu's grandfather. ”

"Okay, take it all. "In the end, the war ended, the number of people was counted, more than 2,000 Xiongnu were killed and wounded, hundreds of prisoners were captured, and none of the 800 warriors died.
