Chapter 215

Wei Qing received the order to go out to the Huns, the first thing was to run to Zhang Jiayang's house, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Jiayang carrying a kettle and holding a water ladle in leisurely watering the flowers and plants, Zixia was assisting beside him, this situation was also warm and quiet, and when he saw Wei Qing coming in, he put down the kettle in his hand and said: "The apprentice is here, come and sit here."

"Master, the apprentice is bothered, today is to resign to you, the emperor has arranged a major event, and the apprentice still wants to ask you for advice. Wei Qing said as he found a stone bench and sat down.

"Oh, what's the matter, are you leaving Chang'an?"

"Exactly, today the emperor has issued an order to counterattack the Xiongnu, and has appointed the apprentice as a chariot cavalry general to march into the Xiongnu from Shanggu. ”

"Yes, good job. Zhang Jiayang gave a proud thumbs up.

"Master has won the award, but the apprentice is on his first expedition and has no experience, so he has to ask Master for advice. ”

Zhang Jiayang also frowned suddenly, thought for a moment and asked, "Does the emperor have any requirements and goals for attacking the Xiongnu?"

"Alas, because the Xiongnu army came and went without a trace and had no fixed residence, the emperor only asked to go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu to find opportunities for war, and to eliminate the Xiongnu's living force to fight the arrogance of the Xiongnu, so as to respond to the Xiongnu's plundering and burning of the people in the border counties. ”

"In vain, it is necessary to make good use of the mobile and flexible nature of the cavalry, to endure hunger and thirst like the Huns, to travel lightly and quickly, and to nourish the characteristics of war, it is necessary to turn the warriors into a pack of wolves galloping on the steppe eager to forage for food, and rush to tear them apart when they see the enemy as if they were prey. ”

Wei Qing listened carefully with wide eyes, then nodded approvingly: "What Master said is extremely true, you must make full use of the characteristics of the grassland and your own strengths, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried." ”

"The apprentice understands correctly, this is the first time the apprentice has led troops to march into the Xiongnu, and he is not very familiar with the terrain and environment over there, so the master will give you a gift. After Zhang Jiayang finished speaking, he walked into the room, pulled off a piece of soil from a corner of the wall, revealed a dark grid, reached out and took out a piece of sheepskin from it, turned around and handed it to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing inexplicably took this piece of sheepskin, looked at it carefully, and then saw that this was not an ordinary sheepskin, it was full of dense road maps, and marked the water source swamp, and marked the most likely location for a large number of people and horses, then Wei Qing understood that this was a sheepskin map, which must be marked with the territory of the Huns, so he said: "Thank you, Master, this sheepskin map must be the steppe controlled by the Huns." ”

"Exactly, this is copied by the master from the hands of the merchants when he was in the Huns, and the first time the apprentice went to the border of the Huns, this must be used. ”

"Yes, he is the eye of the advancing army, and the disciples will definitely make good use of it. Wei Qing looked up at the sun in space and said, "Master, it's not too early, I'll go back." ”

"Gee, finish lunch here before leaving. Zixia interjected.

"Master, no, I still have to go to Princess Pingyang's mansion. ”

Zhang Jiayang and Zixia immediately knew what it meant, and Jiayang said: "Okay, the apprentice should go to Dao Jie, leading troops to fight is not peacetime training, you can't be sloppy at all, you must take care." ”

"Keep in mind Master's teachings. ”

"Go ahead. ”

"The apprentice quits. ”

Wei Qing came to Princess Pingyang's mansion non-stop, and the guards guarding the gate couldn't help but greet each other with a smile when they saw that Wei Qing was coming: "Ouch, Jian Zhangjian is free today, and I came to visit the princess again." ”

Greeting him one by one, Wei Qing asked, "Is the princess there?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Before Wei Qing entered the gate of the backyard, he saw Princess Pingyang walking out of the inner courtyard, and said with a smile as she walked: "Zhongqing is here, I heard the news from the palace today, the emperor is going to send you to fight the Huns, is this news accurate?"

"Back to the princess, yes, Wei Qing came to bid farewell to the princess. ”

"The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, since the emperor has issued a will, he should do his best to complete it, but Zhongqing has never experienced a real war, and this time in a war, we must pay attention to safety. ”

"Please rest assured that the princess has a great life and will definitely return safely. ”

"That's good," Princess Pingyang suddenly thought of something, as if she took out a gold artifact from her pocket and handed it to Wei Qingdao: "Zhongqing, this artifact was given by the Empress Dowager Qian, you take it with you, and the Empress Dowager will definitely send someone to bless Zhongqing safely." ”

Although Wei Qing didn't believe in ghost legends, he still took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, princess." ”

"Oh, Zhongqing, don't be so polite to the two of us, I'm still going to come and take care of me when you return safely." ”

"Wei Qing He De, how can he be so cared for by the princess, he is already grateful. ”

"Oh, what's the princess princess called, just call me by my name in the future, or call my sister. ”

"How dare you. Wei Qing took a step back respectfully.

"What dare you dare, call your sister at home, except for formal occasions. Princess Pingyang said with a smile.

Wei Qing looked up, Princess Pingyang at this time had ruddy cheeks, radiant and radiant, plus colorful neon clothes, this was simply a fairy in the world, and there was a woman who had become a mother.

"Zhongqing, what's wrong, is there a problem?" Princess Pingyang stroked her headdress with her hand, thinking that something was wrong there.

"Well, ah, ah, nothing, the princess is right, I'll call my sister in the house in the future. Wei Qing was disturbed by Princess Pingyang's beauty, stood in place and looked dumbfounded, was awakened by Princess Pingyang's words, and replied at a loss.

"That's right, that's right, I'll have lunch at my sister's place today, and we'll have a drink before you leave. ”

"Listen to the princess. ”

"It's still a princess. ”

"Listen to my sister's arrangement. Wei Qing couldn't help but retreat and change his mouth.

"Hahaha......" Princess Pingyang let out a hearty laugh.

Then the wine banquet was served, Princess Pingyang and Wei Qing drank and ate happily in the tent, which made Wei Qing feel the family-like love and warmth, and the warm currents floated in the depths of the body and soul.

Three days later, the four roads were prepared, Wei Qing was pinned on by Liu Che, and all the Jianzhang warriors were transferred to Wei Qing's team, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao, and Li Guang also carefully selected horses and warriors, and everything was waiting for further orders from Liu Che.

Liu Che frowned, happy in his heart, held a swearing-in ceremony in the square outside the Weiyang Palace, Liu Che appeared on the stage, and the warriors below were bright and bright, shouting in unison: "Defend the frontier, kill the enemy for the country, and make meritorious contributions." ”

Liu Che waved his hand and said: "Generals and warriors, I sent troops this time to support justice and protect the people in the border to live and work in peace and contentment, the barbaric Huns bullied us and other weaknesses, we must return the color to let them know that the Han is not easy to bully, I am waiting for the news of your victory in Chang'an, I will not hesitate to give meritorious generals and warriors knights, and for those who are afraid of the enemy and delay the fighters, the generals can make a decision on the battlefield, and I will be merciless in enforcing military law." Do you understand? ”

"Understood, understood, understood. ”

"Okay, let's go. ”

The four generals each left the swearing-in venue with their own teams in turn, walked out of Chang'an, and crossed the Baqiao, the people on both sides of the road saw off the square in front of the Dayang Palace to the Baqiao, and the water of the Bahe River flowed forward without slowness or urgency, recording the story of starting from the Baqiao.

Wei Qing looked at the crowds of people on both sides of the bridge, shouting loudly for their husbands, sons, brothers, Brother and other relatives of the name, an inexplicable responsibility arises spontaneously, today I Wei Qing from here to take these people away, at the end of this war, I want to bring them back intact is the greatest success, slowly walked to the highest point of the Baqiao to look in the direction of Chang'an, not far from the side of the Baqiao, a familiar figure appeared in Wei Qing's eyes, not mistaken, it is the princess, yes, it is the princess of Pingyang, she also came to see off, I saw her standing next to the carriage, kept shaking her hand to the bridge, Wei Qing involuntarily raised her hand and waved, the princess's face showed an encouraging smile, this power instantly spread throughout Wei Qing's bodyWei Qing turned his head and stepped on the war horse with confidence, waved his whip, and ran in the direction of the upper valley, and the queue of 10,000 warriors behind him passed through the Baqiao in order, and the people who saw them off slowly dispersed until they could no longer see the back of the team.

Besides, the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu has already received a detailed report from Chang'an, knowing that today's Han emperor is different from the past, five years ago after the Ma Yi strategy and then to send a large army to the house, which was impossible in the past, so he urgently summoned the leaders of the tribes to come to discuss the countermeasures, in the big tent of the royal court, the left and right Xian Wang, the left and right Gu Li Wang, the left and right generals, the left and right Dadu Lieutenant, the left and right Dadanghu, the left and right Gudu Marquis and other senior officials were lined up on both sides, and the military minister Shan Yu frowned and said in his throat: " Guys, I've summoned you today, I wonder if you know what's going on?"

The following ones widened their eyes and were silent for a moment and said, "I don't know what Shan Yu is doing." ”

"It can be seen how closed your news is, this is only after receiving reliable information, the Han sent a four-way army to go deep into the hinterland of our grassland to fight with us to the death, in order to avenge our repeated attacks on their borders. ”

"Hahaha, hahaha......" Shan Yu hadn't finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter below, only the Bank of China said that he was sitting next to Shan Yu frowning.

The military minister waved his hand and said, "I don't know why you are laughing. ”

Yizhi, the king of Zuogu Li, is the one who likes to be in the limelight, and he grabbed the front and said: " Da Dan Yu is really interesting, do you still need to frown about this, the relationship with the Han Dynasty for 70 years seems to be that we go to their territory to fight as much as we want, this is because our ancestors trapped their founding emperor in Baideng for seven days, almost wiped out their entire army, today this immature emperor does not know what to do, and he has to go deep into the hinterland of our grassland, isn't this not to send us food and treasures, and we also went all the way to their border counties to get it, hahaha. ”

"Hahaha......" After King Zuogu Li finished speaking, everyone below echoed and laughed even more happily.

The military minister Shan Yu couldn't help but furnish his brows, laughed loudly and said: "Yes, but this is a phenomenon that has never occurred in seventy years, so this order has summoned you to discuss countermeasures." ”

King Zuo Guli said: "What to discuss, we will all pounce on him like hungry wolves and tear him to pieces, and we don't have to be polite to them." ”

"Yes, yes. Voices of approval rang out.

At this time, the military minister Shan Yu glanced sideways at the Bank of China and said: "Seeing that the military advisor has been frowning, I don't know what to think. ”

At this time, the Bank of China rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up from his sleep and said: "Da Dan Yu, everyone, don't blame you for not speaking well, your laughter just now just proves your contempt for the enemy of the Han Dynasty, Bai Deng's siege of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty was seventy years ago, and today's situation is not the same, if you despise today's war, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and maybe there will be the result of the death of the Huns." ”

"Isn't what the military advisor said a little too much? The military minister Shan Yu continued.

"How can the military advisor grow the ambition of the Han Dynasty and destroy the prestige of my Great Huns, do you still miss the glory and wealth of the Han Dynasty in your hometown, and don't you live well here?"

"Da Dan Yu, everyone, the small one is not alarmist, the small one has been attached to fight the Huns, thanks to the big Dan Yu and your care and mercy in order to have today's life, every word of the small one is based on reality, and the wolf tooth god swears, heaven and earth can be learned. The Bank of China said that it immediately retorted.

"What is the opinion of the military advisor? The military minister Da Shan Yu then asked.

"First analyze the four-way army sent by the Han this time, led by four generals, among which the cavalry general Li Guang and we fought the most, and he is also a famous general with both brave and martial arts, I hope that Da Danyu will pay attention to it, otherwise it is possible to suffer the most from him, and then Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, Wei Qing are not well-known, not enough to be afraid, and the division of troops to send a little king or something will be dealt with in the past, so as to make the Huns invincible. ”

"Good idea, good idea, what the military advisor said is right, we must face it seriously. When the military minister Shan Yu said this, he looked at the crowd for a while, and then continued: "This Shan Yu led the main force of the royal court to block Li Guang, and the king of Zuogu Li and others led the troops to block Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, Wei Qing, the three little-known teams, the spoils of war belong to each other, and each king must hold their own territory separately, and there can be no half-point difference." ”

"Yes, Da Dan Yu can rest assured, this time they will not come back. The people below Da Dan Yu were all gearing up, showing their teeth and claws, as if the four-way army of the Great Han had already been defeated by them.
