Chapter 54: Enemy of Life [Happy Chinese New Year's Eve]
Huo Fu.
The big cat glared angrily, staring at the 'stupid big one' in the courtyard.
It felt wrong in Changding Hall just now, and smelled Huo Quzhi's new love.
Sure enough, when I came back, I found that my home had been stolen. It's ridiculous that I'm still happy outside, and I can't imagine that there is a new person at home. No, it's a new horse!
That's right, there is a horse in the family, Huo Quai's new favorite.
The big cat is so distressed that it is indescribable and feels betrayed.
The cat's life is already so difficult, why should there be another horse?
Before Huo Quai, he rode a horse to Changding Palace, and when he came out, he went home, and Jin'an also brought it back.
The big cat was looking at the horse all the way, it was big and powerful, so it didn't dare to move.
It lay on the roof of the house, eyeing Jin'an, who was eating fine forage in the stable. New love and old love occasionally stare at each other and look at each other in the air.
In the yard, Xiong San was playing with stone locks as grass stalks, while watching the confrontation between cats and horses.
Suddenly, the big cat moved, and tentatively jumped off the beam, landing on horseback. It also wants to ride a horse, prove that it is the one above, swear sovereignty, and teach Imaan to be a horse.
But the big cat moves fast, and Jin'an is not slow, shaking his head and pumping at the big cat with his strong neck muscles.
A cat and a horse flickered and moved in the stable, fighting for a long time, and there was no difference between victory and defeat.
Xiong San was dumbfounded, thinking that this is really a good general among horses, and a capable minister among cats, and they are not aggressive.
The big cat failed to succeed and fell back onto the beam.
The tricky nature of the horse was beyond his expectations.
After a trial, the big cat has determined that it will be his lifelong enemy.
Huo Qu came back from illness and went into the study.
Considering that the Han and the Xiongnu were about to face each other, he took out his pen and ink after he came back, spread out a piece of straw 'paper', and deduced the strength of the two sides.
A complicated map of the confrontation soon appeared on the paper.
This is the real military temple calculation, the virtual reality of the two generals, the distribution of soldiers and horses, including the distribution of the city, the route that the Huns are likely to send troops, how to deal with the Han, or the Han army, the Xiongnu may take the way to deal with it, compared and predicted.
Through these information, the trend of the battle situation and the difference between the two sides can be deduced.
If there are people who are familiar with military affairs, they will definitely be amazed by the method of temple calculation on Huo Quai's military map.
The transformation of the offensive and defensive forces of the two sides on the map shows the opposing relationships between rigidity and softness, oddity, self, and virtuality and reality in the art of war.
Huo Quzhi looked at the map of the soldiers after the deduction, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle likes to use the soldiers to coincide with Qizheng, and there is a fierce offensive hidden in the stability.
The only thing the Xiongnu could take advantage of was to use the flexibility of the rangers to infiltrate and harass our Han border passes, sneak attack the border towns, and try to accumulate victory.
In the next period of time, I can lead the troops to play a dozen inside ......"
The upcoming Battle of Dingxiangbei, according to historical records, will set off two large-scale confrontations within two months.
Huo Qubing was only allowed to participate in the battle by Liu Che and Wei Qing in the second game.
But until then, he is ready to participate appropriately. For example, sweeping the Hun cavalry on the periphery, training soldiers with battle, killing two birds with one stone!
Huo Qubing thought for a moment, then took out Liu Qing's nine-star map, and sorted out the things he was carrying by the way.
He only had a scroll of Bingfu Jane, a scroll of Zhuo Huai's gift book, and a round jade plate of unknown purpose obtained from the destruction of the Zonghengdao Mountain Gate last time, a total of three things.
In the past few days of practice, the breath is in harmony with the soldier's house, and the effect is not as great as it was at the beginning.
Huo Qubing is going to practice again tonight, and when he enters the palace tomorrow, he will give the military mansion to Liu Che.
He sorted things out, and his gaze fell on the nine-star chart.
The nine-star map is something that has been handed down from ancient times, and the legend contains the mystery of the Taoist exploration of the avenue.
The silk book depicts nine star positions, which can be handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period without destruction, and the cloth brocade with a soft touch reminds Huo Qubing of the fairy silk contained in the ancient scrolls and used to sew heavenly clothes.
According to Taoist legend, the nine-star chart corresponds to the nine major points of the human body, which can open the secrets of the human body and chase eternal life.
Liu Qing took out this star map, and the nine stars corresponded to the stars such as Greedy Wolf, Jumen, Lucun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, and Pojun.
The whole picture is unfolded, about two feet square, the stars are complex, and the nine stars are the foundation, which can give birth to thousands of changes.
There is also a portrait of a character next to each constellation, like an immortal in the world, with an ancient color.
Each person has a node corresponding to the star position.
Together, it looks more like a Taoist practice map.
However, all the sons and hundreds of schools have studied the Nine Stars, and its solution is related to the soldiers, which is not surprising.
Dating back to the mythological period before antiquity, there are many things in the hundred schools of thought that are of the same origin.
In the eyes of others, it may be just a picture of the coexistence of stars and characters, but the moment it falls in Huo Quzhi's eyes, the picture is full of geographical changes such as mountains and rivers, which naturally submerges into the scene of military formation.
The nine star positions on the map suddenly rose with wisps of qi, and the nine figures disappeared, reflecting a virtual image of the battlefield with ancient rhyme.
"What kind of cultivation the viewer is, what kind of changes can be derived from this picture, and it is really mysterious."
Huo Qu's illness prompted the military qi in his body, sent it into the nine-star map, and collided with the power in it, like two armies facing each other.
At the same time, on the war books in the sea, the ancient seal characters of several soldiers' battle plans were intertwined, as if they were deducing the changes on the simulated star map.
On the ground, the qi in the book of knowing the sea soldiers was rushing, and it was as sharp as a knife and poured into the nine-star map!
I don't know how long it took, but there was a slight sound...... The stars on the diagram are hedged, and then extinguished, and the qi machine rolls like chaos, and a new way of star ranking slowly appears, which is more and more mysterious.
In the Changding Palace, Liu Qing, who was originally practicing, suddenly had a subtle feeling: "The first layer was unlocked so quickly?" ”
The Nine Star Chart is the inheritance of the master, and she has practiced it before, so she has a perception of the changes in the Star Chart.
Huo Qubing unlocked the first layer of the star map so quickly, which surprised her.
She immediately closed her eyes again, ready to practice.
However, it didn't take long for me to open my eyes again. This time, she stood up directly from the cross-seated position: "The second layer is also unlocked, so ...... so fast"
Liu Qing opened his mouth slightly.
As far as she knew, the Nine Star Diagram had existed in the Daode Sect for hundreds of years, and there were only three people who could unlock two layers in one night, one was the ancient Taoist Daxian, and the other was Wu Qi, a great soldier in the Warring States Period.
The third is Huo Qu's disease at this time.
At first, the great sage stopped after unlocking the second layer, saying that he needed a soldier to break through the third layer of the array.
Wu Qi also chose to stop after unlocking the two layers for some reason, and did not continue to crack the star map.
Could Huo Qubing really be able to unlock all the three-layer star maps in one day?
Liu Qing had the impulse to go directly to Huo Mansion with a flying sword.
After thinking about it, I sat back down, or waited.
Now that Huo Qu's illness has been taken lightly in the past, he just said before that he couldn't solve it in a day.
————
The court of the Huns.
After Da Dan Yu Yizhi woke up in the morning, he received new news about the killing of the Xiongnu mission in Chang'an.
The Han and the Huns were at war for many years, and the Xiongnu were slowly infiltrating the Han Dynasty. They also have channels to probe the news and learn about what happened in Chang'an.
“…… The situation that day should be that Su Buna, who first received the news of the death of his brother Su Buhui, secretly left the pavilion arranged by the Han people, and wanted to attack and kill a Han general......"
It was still the old Huns from last time who reported.
Yi Zhi sat in the king's tent, his bearing was calm, and his voice was low: "So it is said that Su Buna killed the Han generals, so as to anger the Han people, cause the Han people to retaliate, and kill my Xiongnu envoy?" ”
The old man said: "The news says...... Subna failed to kill the Han general, but was killed by the other party. ”
"Huh?"
Yi Zhixian was a little surprised: "Since it was Subuna who was killed, why did you kill the rest of my mission?" ”
"The news sent did not find out the specific reason, only that it was the Han general who killed Subna, and the rest of the mission."
Yi Zhixian was furious: "A Han general, how dare you kill my Hun envoys? ”
"The other party is the nephew of the Han general Wei Qing, and he called Huo Quai."
The old man continued: "In addition, he was the one who led the troops to raid and kill Su Buhui's department. ”
Yi Zhixian couldn't help but show a hint of shock: "The same person, the news...... Is it accurate? ”
His face was murderous: "Pass the order, let all parties go all out to kill this Han general Huo Quai, kill my Hun envoy, how can you let him live." ”
At this time, a middle-aged man with a square face walked in outside the king's tent.
This person has a dark and red complexion, with a weather-beaten and unangry bearing.
His physique was very strong, and he said to Yi Zhi: "Da Shan Yu, I ask to personally lead the troops to the land of the Han people, to avenge my Hun warriors, so that they can return to the embrace of the shaman god." ”
This person is the king of the right valley of the Huns, and he is also Su Buhui, and Su Buna's uncle Su Bu Hun Ri is usually called Qumeng.
