The time of the first morning light.

There were several glimmers of light that flickered through the air and flew into Chang'an, and finally fell into the hands of different people.

……

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of life and death.

Every time there is a war, Liu Che will go to the city in person and send the troops to the battle.

When Huo Qubing entered the inner palace, the palace court meeting had just dispersed and was preparing.

In the study, Liu Che sat in the main seat, and the first point or so were the civil and military who had just come down from the court meeting, and they all had to move with him and go to the army together.

Wei Qing was dressed in military uniform, wearing light armor, with a calm bearing, immobile as a mountain.

At the head of the hundred officials sat an old man who was dying, he was the famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Hong, and everyone in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The current prime minister.

He was also the first person in the history of the Han Dynasty to be a marquis with a phase.

He was nearly eighty years old at the time, the lord was benevolent, and he made many achievements during his reign, although some ideas were not liked by the martial Liu Che, but the phase was stable, and generally speaking, the monarch and the minister were compatible.

"When I travel later, I wish Wei Qing a triumphant victory in advance to raise the prestige of my great man." Liu Che's voice was low.

"The ministers should do their best to live up to His Majesty's trust." Wei Qing said solemnly.

"The hour is near, let's go."

In ancient times, when troops were dispatched, it was necessary to choose a good day and an auspicious time to reflect the heavens and the earth.

The ministers got up one after another.

Half an hour later, the emperor drove out through the north gate of Weiyang Palace, and went to the city gate along the royal road on Anmen Street.

The elite forbidden army closest to Liu Che's frame was escorted by Huo Quai.

In the accompanying procession, there were other ministers, as well as some members of the royal family.

Zhang Qian also took the Hu envoy and followed the team.

Huo Quzhi glanced at the Hu man from a distance, and thought: The main reason for deliberately expanding the ceremony of my uncle's dispatch of troops this time is to take the opportunity to show the might of my Han soldiers and show the Hu envoys.

That Hu envoy had a deep memory of Huo Quzhi's performance in Zhang Qian's mansion yesterday, and when he saw him turn his head, he immediately bowed his head and gestured with a friendly attitude.

"Go sick, you were in Zhang Qian's mansion yesterday, but you took what Master Dong wanted to give me?"

Liu Che's voice came from the frame.

Huo Quzhi rode close to the chariot: "This is indeed the case." ”

The black red-patterned curtain swayed slightly rhythmically as the chariot moved forward. Liu Che's deep voice came from inside the car: "You are honest." ”

"Master Dong's disciple had to use the military office roll to let the minister try, so the minister tried."

"And then they just snatched people's things."

Liu Che seemed to be a little unbearable: "When I got up in the morning, a bamboo slip flew outside the palace, it was a letter sent to me by Master Dong at no expense, what about it?" ”

Bingfu Jian's wool has not been finished yet, but Liu Che personally asked, Huo Quzhi was a little helpless, reached out of nothing, and took out Bingfu Jian from the void.

Liu Che grabbed it in the frame, and the book appeared directly in his hand like a jump in the air.

Liu Che flipped through the military mansion and looked at it line by line.

Sun Wu, Lu Shang, these names were presented one after another, and at the end, seeing Wei Qing and Huo Qubing one after another, Liu Che couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "Xianyi is angry...... Master Dong wrote to him, saying that your name can be recognized by Bingfu Jian, which is a blessing for me and a blessing for the country! Since Yin Shang, if you talk about the qualifications of soldiers, you are the highest.

And he said that only then will he teach thee more severely...... The Master also has high hopes for you. ”

This old master wants to kill me, and his mouth is full of praise...... Huo Qu's thoughts fluctuated.

After reading it, Liu Che pushed the brief book out of thin air and sent it back to Huo Quai's hands:

"The core of this soldier's sword is stimulated, and in this case, you will be allowed to use it for two more days, but remember, this book has another use, and it cannot be destroyed."

Liu Che went on to say:

"When did you learn the power to make something out of nothing?

When I saw me yesterday, I hid this book in a soldier bag out of nothing, and I didn't notice it for a while, and I didn't find it. ”

"It was only yesterday that the qi machine was connected with this soldier, and I felt one of the powers gushing out, so I got this magical power."

As the two spoke, two ministers sat in a spacious frame in the accompanying procession behind.

They looked at the imperial car in front of them from afar, as well as Huo Quai, who was accompanying the emperor's car.

The main seat in the car is sitting in the imperial doctor, whose name is quite rare, called Fan, wearing an official robe, with a clear face and a short beard on his chin.

He sat sideways with Taichang Zhouping.

"Apart from me, you have also received a summons from your master?"

Liu Che's frame was not far away, and the two of them spoke extremely cautiously, writing in the air with their fingers, without even infusing the Confucian breath, without any alarm.

Zhou Ping bowed slightly.

"The master came to the news that Na Huo was sick and went to the military mansion without a fight, and he must be a great soldier...... There is Wei Qing first, and there is Huo Quai, if he is allowed to become famous in the world, the soldiers will prosper. With His Majesty's temperament, at least for a few decades, the soldiers of my great man will only become more and more prosperous.

The master has been planning for many years to depose the hundred schools, and I am afraid that it will be stagnant and difficult to implement. "Fan said.

"However, the master also said that those who can climb the military mansion can't be stopped, what is your best plan?" Zhou Ping asked.

"If you can't stop it, then slow down the speed at which he will become a famous player and buy time to make other arrangements."

"How to delay?"

The Imperial Historian wrote:

"Sharpen his ambition in order to divide his talent in military affairs. He is only seventeen, can he still concentrate on military affairs with a family? Can you still concentrate on military affairs if you have a wife and daughter? If you have been diverted, can you still concentrate on military affairs? ”

"It can also minimize the chance of leading troops to the battle......"

Zhou Ping also wrote: "I'm afraid it's difficult, he is by His Majesty's side day and night, and opportunities are hard to find." ”

"How do you know ...... without trying"

When the two exchanged opinions, the frame quickly came to the north gate of Chang'an City.

Liu Che got out of the car and climbed the stairs of the inner city to the top of the city.

At the right time, the Chang'an guards outside the city stretched, the soldiers and horses were prominent, and the black pressure was lined up, and a military spirit actually washed away the clouds and could not be condensed.

Huo Qubing and even the ministers followed Liu Che to the top of the city in turn, looking at the tens of thousands of Han troops outside the city, all of them had ups and downs in their hearts and emotions.

When Liu Che personally recited the military sacrifice according to the sacrificial etiquette, he announced that the heaven and earth were over.

In front of the thousands of troops and horses below, Wei Qing saluted the head of the city from afar, and the sound shook the sky, and even the city wall seemed to be shaking in the sound.

Immediately, Wei Qing turned his horse's head, surrounded by the generals, hunted with flags, and headed north.

The army is winding, the horses' hooves are on the ground, and the military power is extremely high.

Together with Wei Qing, this army will go to Shuofang, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang on the northern front for rectification.

Huo Qubing discovered many years ago that this world was more prosperous and numerous than the Han Dynasty in known history, and there were more elite soldiers and horses in Chang'an Guard alone.

This time, Wei Qing led the lieutenant general Gongsun Ao, the left general Gongsun He, the former general Zhao Xin, the right general Su Jian, the rear general Li Guang, the strong crossbow general Li Fu and other generals to the northern front together.

However, not everyone walked together, and some generals would take food and grass one after another in the next few days and set off to join Wei Qing.

When the army was far away, Liu Che got up and returned to the palace.

Some of the royal families also watched the military prestige with the team, and they dispersed at this time.

Among them is Liu Qian, the eldest son of the king of Huainan.

When he returned to the Huainan Palace, he saw his sister Liu Ling coming up with a serious face:

"I just received the news that Zhang Cigong was also summoned by Wei Qing and said that he would let him go on the expedition together. Zhang Cigong will set off within three days to join Wei Qing. ”

"Zhang Cigong was transferred, so suddenly?"

Liu Qian's heart sank slightly, and he and Liu Ling looked at each other, and they both saw a ray of panic on the other party's face.

Zhang Cigong was transferred, does it mean that the contact between Liu Ling and Zhang Cigong has been detected...... Is there anything else that has been noticed?

Liu Qian thought for a while, turned around and asked, "Yesterday, I asked you to investigate the reason why Huo Qubing was summoned to the palace by His Majesty, is there any news?" ”

"Yes.

Huo Qubing mobilized the guards and horses four days ago, marched to the southwest for training, and made a surprise attack on the foreign rangers on the western front. When he returned, His Majesty rewarded him. ”

The attendant behind him said: "He brought thousands of soldiers and horses out of the camp, and he saw a lot of people, and he didn't hide it when he came back, and the itinerary is not difficult to check." ”

"The Chang'an guards all know that Huo Qubing often leads troops to practice, and he said when he was fourteen years old that the Huns grew up on horseback, and if they wanted to catch up with the Huns in riding, they had to be more familiar with horse nature than the Huns. Some members of the Chang'an Guards listened to his advice and ate and lived with horses for many years, and even their legs were slightly bent because of long-term riding. ”

"It is said that when Huo Quzhi was training by himself, he also ate and lived with the horse, and drove the horse addicted."

"So, he often leaves Chang'an with his troops?" Liu Qian's eyes flashed.

"Yes, at least once or twice a month, supposedly."

Liu Qian pursed his lips and walked into the hall.

At the same time, Huo Quzhi, who returned to Weiyang Palace, found that on the military book in his consciousness, there was a flickering handwriting: "Doubt to knock on the truth, check and then move; The restorer, the medium of yin. ”

It means that repeatedly investigating and then taking action is an important means of discovering hidden enemies.

This is a military solution to scare the snake!

"You'd better hide your tails tightly and don't show them." Huo Qu was sick.

Liu Che walked one step ahead of him and said, "The Xiongnu are coming to envoys, they have already crossed the northern line, and it is expected to reach Chang'an in three or five days." There is also an envoy from the Western Regions, you can go to see him later and take him to see the majesty of our court. ”
