A decree went from Chang'an to the grassland, and Liu Che sent the golden book of the liehou directly to the army, which of course was not a direct canonization, but an attitude.

At the same time, Liu Che issued an order to cancel the plan to attack the Xiongnu royal court, and instead defeated the Aries royal department and the Loufu royal department, and immediately replenished the troops to 3,600 people for Luo Wuji and Huo Quzhi's school captains, which was equivalent to three times the previous strength.

The reason why more cavalry was not given directly was because most of the Han army could only be called infantry on horseback, and there were not many cavalry who could fight immediately, and half of Wei Qing had to be left, after all, Wei Qing was a frontal decisive battle, and many tactics could not be used without cavalry.

The holy decree also told Wei Qing that Luo Wuji and Huo Quzhi were "sharp blades of heaven", and they should be "sharpened and not hidden".

The fighter plane was fleeting, and before the will arrived, Wei Qing had already led the army to attack the Lou Fu Wang, and after Liu Che's holy decree arrived, Wei Qing completely relieved himself and arranged the battle against the Lou Fu Wang.

It is said that it is a battle against the Lou Fu Wang, but the news of the Han army's entry into the grassland has completely spread in the grassland with the defeat of the Aries King, and the enemy facing it is not only the Lou Fu King.

The Xiongnu were respected by Shan Yu, and then by King Zuoxian, from the left hand of Shan Yu's court to Liaodong and the vast land of North Korea were controlled by King Zuoxian, and his political status was equivalent to that of the prince of the Central Plains Dynasty, which was generally held by Shan Yu's son.

In the case of Shan Yu's sudden death and no heir designated, King Zuo Xian took over the throne of Xiongnu Shan Yu.

In addition to the Zuoxian King, again for the left valley Li King, and then the right Xian King, the right Valley Li King, this is called the four-cornered king, for the Xiongnu Shan Yu to sit in the Quartet.

But in fact, in addition to the left virtuous king, the right virtuous king is the most important.

The land of the Right Xian King is all the way to the west from Shan Yuting, and the south can communicate with the Aries King and the Loufu King in the south, and there are the Zhelan King and so on in the west, and also control the Hutu King and the Hun Evil King in the Hexi Corridor through the Monan connection, and then control the land in the Western Regions to the west, and compete for control with the Big and Small Yue Clans in the Western Regions.

This is an extremely critical Xiongnu king, and any military action of the Han Dynasty against the northwest, or even against Xiqiang, cannot escape the participation of this Xiongnu king.

In the tent of the large army camp.

Wei Qing and the others were discussing the battle plan, Huo Quzhi said directly: "Uncle, the more you wait, the more things happen, if the Xiongnu Right Valley Liwang and the Right Xian King lead the army to come, it will really be a hard battle, according to the nephew, you are confronting the King of Lou Fu in the front, and the nephew and Captain Ying Yang led the elite cavalry to march to the west first, and then turned around to the east, straight into the flank of the King of Lou Fu, he would never have thought that the Han army would go back so far and be able to kill him by surprise." ”

Luo Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this, Huo Quzhi's tactical thinking was similar to him, he only thought that Huo Quzhi was a warrior before, but now it seems that Huo Qubing is far stronger than he imagined.

Wei Qing was also a fierce man who could kill the vice king back then, but after becoming a commander, he became much more stable, especially after learning the Huaiyin Art of War, he won the essence of Han Xin's war faction, and never went into battle in person again.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't dare to break through the convention, and Huo Qubing is with a partial division, even if he doesn't succeed, and he is stable in the front, this battle has won enough so far, and a small defeat is not a defeat, but the question is that Luo's son is willing to take this risk?

Wei Qing set his eyes on Luo Wuji, Luo Wujian smiled when he saw this: "The last general and Captain Yao have the same idea, that is, to surprise the army to win, and the general, please see, from Longxi County to the north, until the Lou Fu Wang, this grassland is the key to Hexi, if you can defeat the Lou Fu King at the same time and defeat the Right Valley Liwang Department, you can completely cut off the connection between the Right Xian Wang Department and the land west of the river."

Don't hide it from the general, the family calls this land the Hexi Corridor, the father once took the brave soldiers through the Hexi Corridor to the extreme west, which will sooner or later belong to the Han Dynasty, and now if you can directly cut off the connection between the King of Hutu and the Hun Evil King and the Xiongnu Youxian Wang Court by the east wind of the great victory, the pace of the Han war against the Xiongnu will be greatly accelerated. ”

Luo Wuji's words completely made Wei Qing unable to sit still, he never expected that there would be such a thing, of course Wei Qing knew that Luo Wujian would not talk nonsense, but he was still extremely shocked and asked, "What Gongzi said is true?" ”

Everyone was shocked by Luo Wuji's words, and then sighed deeply, it is really worthy of Luo's family, and he actually began to arrange the matters of external development so early.

Huo Quzhi laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, uncle, this is the decree of Emperor Su, do you have anything to hesitate about?"

Even if our army does not provoke the right valley Li Wang, he will definitely come to support the king of Lou Fu, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack, first empty the Xiongnu tribe between the king of the right valley and the king of Lou Fu, so that the king of the right valley Li wants to come to support the king of Lou Fu will spend time to requisition livestock, this time difference is enough for our army to completely defeat the king of Lou Fu.

The nephew and Captain Yingyang's swords had been sharpened too sharply and wanted to be bloodthirsty. ”

Huo Qubing is really brave, this is not a simple tactical change, this is a big shift in the entire strategy, from attacking and destroying the Lou Fu Wang Department to cleaning up the Mo Nan part of the Liwang Department of the Right Valley, once it doesn't go well, it will immediately be a full-scale war between the Han and the Xiongnu.

Yes.

In fact, until now, this is still not a full-scale war between Han and Hungary, a full-scale war between the strongest nomadic empire in the world and the strongest agricultural empire, not of this magnitude.

This battle of Monan can only be regarded as a battle for some winners and losers before the all-out war.

Wei Qing no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Pass the general's order, order Captain Ying Yang Luo Wujian and Captain Yao Huo Qubing each lead 3,600 elites to attack, and the rest of the people will follow the general to face the King of Lou Fu head-on."

In addition, he immediately sent someone to Chang'an City to report the new battle plan to His Majesty. ”

Wei Qing is still cautious, in this case, he still wants to give the plan to Liu Che for a look, no wonder Liu Che trusts him.

King Liwang of Yougu would never have thought that in this short period of time, a discussion would have allowed the Han army to target him, Luo Wuji and Huo Quzhi walked out of the barracks together, Huo Quzhi asked with excitement on his face: "Brother Wuji, you said that Ling Zun once went to the extreme west, what is it like there?" ”

Luo Wuji said with a smile: "My father has spent almost half of his life there, the Western Regions is a beautiful and rich land, but the road is full of thorns and dangers, the Huns not only have the two kings of Hun Evil King and Hutu King in the Hexi Corridor, but also countless other little kings, and many other ethnic tribes, which can be described as a small country, and it is difficult to move an inch." ”

Luo Wuji thought that Huo Quzhi would be excited, but he didn't expect Huo Quzhi to be silent for a moment when he heard this, and then he said leisurely: "I understand when I go to illness, Brother Wuzhi must want to open up the Western Regions and fulfill Ling Zun's unfulfilled wishes, so let Dong Ahou recommend you to the office, right?"

Before I got sick, I had doubts, you are the next Zhaogong appointed by King Zhaosheng, why did you come to serve in the Han court, and you still desperately want to come to the battlefield. ”

Luo Wuji looked at Huo Quzhi strangely, Huo Quzhi surprised him twice in a short period of time, he didn't expect Huo Quzhi to be such a keen person in this regard, such a short time, such a small amount of information can analyze so many things, he was about to speak, when he heard Huo Quzhi say: "I and Brother Wu Ji hit it off at first sight, and in the future, we will attack Hexi, and we will be the wings and arms of Brother Wu Ji, just like the previous defeat of the Aries King, the two of us join forces, the world is invincible, just a Hun Hu Kou, just a chicken and a dog!" ”

Huo Quzhi and Luo Wujian were only seventeen years old when they went on the expedition, and they didn't even get crowned, they were still teenagers, especially Huo Quzhi's personality was even more wanton, and he didn't care much about most of them, but once he had an appetite for him, such as Luo Wuji.

Huo Quzhi felt that Luo Wuji was very good, so he looked at Luo Wuji differently, and he felt familiar at first sight, with a bit of kindness.

Luo Wujian was stunned when he heard this, looked at Huo Quzhi who was full of energy in front of him, and said with a smile: "Thank you brother for going to the sick, a word is a certainty." ”

The two walked together, and Huo Quzhi asked, "I don't know the birthday of my brother Gui Geng." ”

The two knew that each other was the same age as themselves, but it was not clear who was older and who was younger, so Huo Quzhi asked this, and then the pair turned out to be born on the same day, such a coincidental result is really unbelievable.

Huo Quzhi laughed and said: "Brother Wuji, I felt at home at first sight when I saw you for the first time, I didn't expect there to be such a coincidence now, it is said that there are twin stars in the endless starry sky, presumably you and I are the twin stars of Zhuxia." ”

Luo Wujian also smiled: "Pick up the sword and let the Huns see the demeanor of the Han Twin Stars." ”

The two walked out of the general's camp as they spoke, and then each headed for his lieutenant's headquarters, and nearly half of the cavalry of the entire Han army was led by the two.

"Let's go!"

Two loud shouts rang out, and then the horse came out like a dragon.

————

In the full-scale war between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu Empire that lasted for decades, some scholars attributed the victory of the Han Empire to the more powerful national strength of the Han Empire, but this is a very biased research result, there is no shortage of empires with stronger national strength in history, due to successive foreign war failures and gradually fall into the whirlpool of national exhaustion, in fact, the strong national strength only increases the trial and error, and does not mean that the stronger side will definitely win, in the early days of the foreign war of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han court did not occupy an advantage, It was not until the outbreak of the battle of Monan-Moxi that Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing were born, and with Wei Qing, the Han Dynasty turned around before the tug-of-war. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"

King Su is on top, and the alliance leader owes more to pay it off.
