The sun was shining, and it was past noon.

The battle is unaware of the passage of time.

After Huo Quai's illness, the Han army that had entered the royal court was approaching.

The moment he stabbed Yi Zhixi, the entire grassland seemed to come to a standstill. The belief of the Xiongnu tribes also completely collapsed at that moment, and they began to flee in all directions.

The fierce fighting did not make this Han army tired, and everyone's eyes were bright, and they were still in a state of excitement.

If you know enough about the history of the early Han Dynasty, you will know that this battle was not easy to come by, and you can fully understand the emotions of the army at this moment.

The dispute between Han and Hungary has lasted for a hundred years.

Compared with the "Siege of Baideng" at the beginning of the founding of the country, the humiliation of the "Letter" of the Xiongnu Dadan to the Empress Lu, etc., and then look at the Xiongnu breaking the East Hu in the east, Loulan in the south, threatening the Western Regions, and sweeping the Dayue clan in the west.

At this time, he was beaten into the royal court by the Han army, broke through the old nest, and Da Dan fled in Yizhi, not knowing his life and death.

The elite of the royal tent was defeated. This kind of result has never been seen in history.

At this time, the Han army standing in the court of the Xiongnu king, some of them have been in the army for several generations, comparing before and after, they couldn't help but blush their eyes and said:

"My eldest father, before his death, he still did not turn a blind eye to the fact that the Huns forced me to make peace with the Han people, and the Han Dynasty opened the country, but he had to rely on a weak woman to alleviate the offensive of the Huns. But now...... The Father should be able to rest in peace. ”

The crowd fell silent.

After a while, Huo Qu said sickly: "Comb the Hun royal court and capture the prisoners." Bring back the golden tent of the royal court of the Huns, hang it in Beiguan, and let all the grassland tribes know that those who offend the mountains and rivers of our Han people will be punished even if they are far away, and this golden tent is a witness. ”

The generals agreed in unison and immediately took action.

In the court of the Xiongnu king, the people were running in a panic, and the royal and powerful surnames of the Xiongnu were falling into unprecedented despair and panic.

No one could have imagined that they were still holding their beautiful concubines last night and falling asleep, and now, a few hours later, they would fall into a situation of panic.

Huo Quzhi turned around and patted his horse.

In the shoulder blade position, there are also wounds left by the battle, and blood oozes out.

But its muscles, like iron casting, quickly tightened and closed, and there were already signs of healing.

Huo Qubing walked outside the royal court on his own.

Jin'an immediately caught up with him in small steps, arching his shoulder with a big head, indicating that his injuries were fine.

Huo Quzhi smiled and turned over again.

Jin'an was cheerful, passing by a location, there was a Hun wounded soldier lying on the ground feigned death, suddenly got up, wanted to swing a spear to sneak attack, was Jin'an side hooves kicked on the head, and suddenly the neck bone was broken and killed.

Outside the royal court, the Xiongnu scattered to the east and west of the steppe, or farther north.

Huo Quzhi sat on horseback and looked at Siye.

Yi Zhixian was coerced by the power of the Huns, and he fled to I don't know where he fled, but Huo Quai's blow hurt his heart and lungs, and the trauma to him must have been extremely serious.

"Champion Hou!"

Daozun stepped into the void from mid-air and came to Huo Quai's side.

This old Dao Venerable did not do his best to fight with the Great Shaman.

It's normal, he came just to contain the great shaman.

"Uncle."

When Huo Qubing rode down from the high ground of the royal court, Wei Qing and other generals also greeted him.

Regardless of age and seniority, the generals' eyes looking at Huo Quai's illness were full of amazement, and the soldiers' faces were full of fanatical reverence.

"The heavy damage that this battle brought to the Huns will make them remember it."

Wei Qing praised first, and then said on the matter: "You have won, if you lose, it is a big mistake to send troops without authorization, rush to the camp early, and not cooperate with the rear army." ”

Huo Qubing didn't think it was wrong, Wei Qing was afraid that he would be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and he would suffer a big loss in the future.

Wei Qing's words fell, and he leaned closer and patted Huo Quai's shoulder.

This nephew has always been regarded as a parent.

Now that he has begun to take charge of himself, the army has broken the camp, and it is inevitable that he will be touched.

"What's next for Uncle?" Huo Quzhi asked.

Wei Qing seemed to guess what he was thinking: "You want to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the surrounding Xiongnu tribes?" ”

"Nature."

Huo Quzhi said: "Expand the results of the battle, and attack quickly, the news of the defeat of the Xiongnu royal court spreads, and the surrounding tribes must migrate and flee." ”

Wei Qing bowed his head and said, "I have sent two departments to attack and block the surrounding departments. ”

Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, Zhang Cigong, who was chasing and killing the fleeing Huns in the distance, was also called over by the heralds one after another.

"The generals will listen to the order, and you will divide the east and west sides and sweep the Xiongnu tribes along the way!"

"Yui!"

The generals immediately mobilized their troops and horses and sent their troops away.

Before Zhang Cigong left, he also gave Huo Qubing a meaningful look.

"Uncle thinks how much damage can this battle cause to the Huns?"

Wei Qing said: "The Xiongnu royal court collapsed, and your 10,000 troops defeated tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their headquarters, which was a particularly heavy blow to the hearts of the Xiongnu people. Even if the Xiongnu are lucky enough to escape, they will become the generals of the defeated army, and they will not be brave enough to withdraw from the ranks of the world's elite soldiers. ”

"The Xiongnu were a nomadic tribe of the steppe, and the tribes gathered together to form a powerful royal power.

After this battle, it was not easy for the Xiongnu headquarters to keep the royal power just by suppressing the various departments.

The depth of the trauma to the Huns can be imagined. ”

Huo Quai's heart was worried: With this war, how much will history deviate from it?

For the future, his plan was to defeat the Xiongnu first, and then sweep north and south, integrate the large and small tribal forces around the Han Dynasty, and expand the territory.

Now the Han is too small, and as a general, he should take it as his responsibility to expand the territory and protect the country and the country. Huo Qubing planned to make the territory of the Han Realm more extensive first.

Wei Qing thought for a while and added: "However, the Xiongnu have experienced this battle, and what the future situation will be may not be without variables.

The last son of the Xiongnu was the righteous son of Shan Yu Ji Porridge, the righteous brother of Yi Zhixian, named Borage. It is said that he is the strongest general since the establishment of the Xiongnu.

Yi Zhi was not in the right position, and he was also quite afraid of it, so he went to the Northern Wilderness to temper himself and did not return for many years.

I estimate that Ling broke through the royal court this time, as long as Yi Zhixian is not dead, in order to protect the royal power, it is necessary to invite Borage to return, stabilize people's hearts, and reshape the front of the army. ”

"If you really have a strong opponent, it's not a bad thing." Huo Quzhi said indifferently.

The two nephews and uncles were talking, and Zhao Ponu and the others hurried over: "Huo Hou, there are a few Hun generals who want to surrender. ”

"Leave it to my uncle."

Huo Qubing agrees with the strategy of using the Huns to contain the Huns, but he is not ready to take the Xiongnu generals under his own account, at least for now, there is no need at all.

At this time, Zhao Ponu waved his hand and asked his subordinates to move over a few things: "General, Huo Hou, you see, this is something found from the account of the Hun King, the breath is quite strange, and it seems to have some origins." ”

Wei Qing first looked at the artifacts and looked at them for a moment, slightly surprised.

Huo Quzhi raised his head and glanced at the sky, saw a big bird hovering in the sky, stretched out his hand and pointed to the bronze armband on his arm, and then looked at the artifacts.

————

In Chang'an's study, Liu Qingyan smiled lightly.

She glanced at the others, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in the mood of the Han army's killing of the Xiongnu royal court, very quiet.

On the main seat, Liu Che gently held his hand, and even he was affected by this battle, and his palms were full of sweat stains!

"What do you think of the process of our army and the Huns?" Liu Che's eyes were blazing, and he asked the ministers.

The old prime minister Sun Hong said slowly: "There is a champion Hou, there is a general Wei, even breaking the Huns, suppressing their arrogance, it is really happy!" ”

"Lao Chen only hates to be dozens of years younger and experience the battlefield with the champion Hou!"

"Turning to a thousand miles to defeat the royal court of the Xiongnu headquarters is indeed an unprecedented achievement of the predecessors, which makes people feel turbulent."

Dong Zhongshu also got up in person: "In this way, you can ask Your Majesty to write an inscription, praise the merits of the champion Hou, and invite him to enter the military mansion." ”

Liu Che waved his hand: "This matter will be talked about when I return to the court."

All right, go down. ”

The ministers bowed and retreated in turn.

……

Dong Zhongshu walked out of Weiyang Palace, boarded the carriage and returned to his residence, and glanced at Sima Qian behind him:

"After you watched the battle, you have been silent, do you have something on your mind?"

"The disciple has something to do." Sima Qian groaned.

"But I want to know Your Majesty's intention in summoning us to watch our army clash with the Huns?"

Dong Zhongshu said: "Let me ask you, if the lord of a country has good generals and elite soldiers under his command, and the national strength is flourishing, what should I do?" ”

Sima Qian realized: "Since ancient times, it will be difficult to find, if you meet an immortal general, you should use it to expand the territory and create a thousand years of achievements." ”

Dong Zhongshu nodded and said slowly: "That's it, isn't Your Majesty's meaning obvious enough?"

Most of the people he summoned to watch the battle were Wenchen, the purpose was to let us see the power of the Han army, the champion Hou, and the ability of General Wei to command the army.

His Majesty is telling me to wait, what he wants is to expand the territory and achieve the imperial cause. What you want is to go down in history and surrender to the four yi, not infighting.

His Majesty is telling the ministers that the civil and military are united and unanimous to the outside world. ”

Dong Zhongshu said eloquently: "This battle has hit the Hun court hard, and when you are happy with a big victory, it is useless to think too much, you do your own thing." ”

"Thank you for your teachings." Sima Qian bowed.

……

Outside the court of the Huns.

Huo Quzhi and the others looked at the loot found from the Huns' lair.

A round, stone drum-like utensil.

There are two snakes, four-legged snakes, two eagles, and a turtle painted on the drum surface. The shaman believed that when the drum was played, all the gods, no matter where they were, would come to the shaman like a soldier to listen to the order.

This drum is supposed to be a sacrificial vessel for shamans.

There was also a jar that looked like a bone sacrifice, and a slender dark black blade.

There are also several parchment rolls and a black bony disc.

The most special thing is a figurine-like artifact, as tall as a human, and its body is painted with shamanic incantations, like an enshrined god.
