The sky was slightly overcast, and the sun was in and out of the clouds.

Huo Quzhi didn't respond, why he was in a hurry to go back to Chang'an.

Zhang Jun didn't ask again, and instead said: "After Huo Hou goes, is there a place to ask me to cooperate with the arrangement of Xiguan?" For example, if Roshna comes as promised, what if she can't see Huo Houdang? ”

Huo Quzhi had already considered it and said: "Since I can't go to Yangguan, the area around Yumen." I will send an order to Zhao Ponu and ask him to tell Roshna to change the meeting place to Chang'an. ”

Zhang Qian was dumbfounded, it was inconvenient to go to the Western Regions, so he asked Roshna to go all the way to Chang'an.

Will Roshna, who is highly regarded in the Western Regions, agree?

"Inside Xiqiang, there are many large and small tribes, and it is impossible to unite with our Han people. They have different attitudes internally, which is a good thing for us, and we can win over some of them and get rid of some of them. Huo Quzhi said.

Zhang Jun snorted, he knew this truth very well.

The part that the Guqiang Department is to get rid of.

They colluded with the Xiongnu all the year round to harass the Han border, and the two sides became mortal enemies long ago, which could not be alleviated.

However, the other part of the Qiang people, which does not border the Han border, is far away, and has not been stained with the blood of the Han people, can be encircled and divided within the Qiang people.

This is a strategy for long-range close attacks.

"In addition to the Qiang people, the countries of the Western Regions need to be on guard against the most are Loulan and Pu and other countries, which have close ties with the Xiongnu.

I will let Zhao Ponu deliberately spread the news that Roshna is coming to my Han realm, and after Loulan, Pu and other countries know about it, they may make a hindrance from it.

If necessary, I hope that Zhang Taishou can dispatch the border army and cooperate with Zhao Ponu's troops.

He took away seven hundred forbidden troops, I will let him escort Roshna from the Western Regions, in the direction of Loulan in the south, if Loulan dares to send troops to obstruct, Taishou will wave his army to respond to Zhao Ponu, he will blitz Loulan.

Loulan is a small country, and it dares to compete with our Han Dynasty, how can it be worthy of him if he doesn't break his country and destroy his family. Huo Qu said sickly.

"Please rest assured."

Zhang Jun agreed, saying that he would cooperate according to Huo Quai's concept.

And his promise meant that after Huo Qu fell ill, he would let part of the border army continue to advance westward, so that he could cooperate with Zhao Ponu.

Xu Jia was surprised: "Lang Zhongling said that Zhao Ponu took away seven hundred forbidden troops, plus sixty forbidden troops to protect the princess. Isn't there only these thirty forbidden army guards left by Lang Zhongling's side? ”

The surrounding area is a place surrounded by four dangers, and Huo Qubing only brought thirty forbidden troops on his side, which was really bold.

Huo Quzhi smiled: "There is only so much I have to say, you will have a long time to come." Then he prepared to leave.

Xu Jia suddenly mustered up the courage and said: "Xu Jia wants to follow Lang Zhongling, I don't know if Lang Zhongling may agree?" ”

Huo Quzhi said dumbly: "There are wars everywhere, and I am in Chang'an, but there are not as many wars as at the border gates." If you have to come, just ask Zhang Taishou, he agrees to release him, and you will come to Chang'an to find me. ”

Xu Jia lowered his head and agreed, turning his head to look at Zhang Jun.

And Huo Qubing had already gotten into Liu Qing's carriage, whistled, and quickly went away.

Jin'an trotted next to the car, looked sideways at the frame, and seemed to wonder why Huo Quzhi was riding the car instead of riding it.

The thirty forbidden soldiers followed behind, and several of the princess's attendants also followed behind.

Zhang Qian did not follow back to Chang'an, he would continue to travel west under Zhang Jun's arrangement to meet Zhao Ponu and Roshna.

"Taishou, Lang Zhongling only brings dozens of people on the side, if something happens, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to deal with it?" Xu Jia was eager to try.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "How do you know that Huo Hou has no other arrangements, maybe he deliberately did this and used a plan to lure the enemy." When a soldier acts, how can he make people know the truth and the truth? ”

The frame was far away, Huo Qubing asked the emperor to go to the back to walk with the forbidden army, and sat down at the wheel.

Liu Qing also lifted the curtain and came out, sat down next to him, and his feet in small leather boots swayed outside the wheel.

The Forbidden Army always followed far behind, not approaching.

The two of them walked around the West Sea for a while.

The sparkling waters of the lake, like huge and hard gems, are brilliantly embedded in the vast basin.

The blue sky seems to sink into the lake, and the heaven and earth echo each other, showing the beauty of nature.

Huo Quzhi took Liu Qing to ride Jin'an and galloped around the West Sea for a while.

It's getting late.

At this time, Liu Qingcai asked: "My husband suddenly wants to go back to Chang'an, but something happened in Chang'an?" ”

Huo Quzhi groaned: "Your Majesty and Uncle sent me a message through the embroiderer almost in no particular order, asking me to suspend my westward journey and go back.

I don't know exactly what it is. ”

Liu Qing was a little surprised, what did the emperor and Wei Qing need to send news at the same time.

Huo Quai's stomach lightly clamped the horse's belly, Jin'an let out a horse whistle, and the four horses in charge of pulling the cart followed behind it, speeding up and embarking on the way home to the east.

————

Changan.

The news of the urgent border pass was delivered to Weiyang Palace on the morning of two nights and one day.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Che read the recital of the Xiguan Taishou Zhangjun, and also read the marching map sent back together, so he asked the chamberlain Dong Xu to summon the ministers over.

The speed of civil and military work was extremely fast, and he came to the study to obey the emperor's orders.

"Zhongqing, take a look, this is the recital of Xiguan Zhang Taishou." The Emperor said.

Wenchen is headed by Prime Minister Sun Hong and Li Cai, and the rest are only a few important ministers in Jiuqing.

The generals are Li Guang, Li Kang and his son, and Cheng does not know the three.

Several people took turns to read Zhang Jun's recital and Huo Quai's marching map.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Gongsun Hong said: "Zhang Taishou said that this marching map was drawn by the champion Hou before the battle to deduce the victory and defeat of the two sides, and it is rare that the champion Hou commanded the army to break the enemy, the marching route, and the other party's way of dealing with each other, all of which are consistent with the judgment on the map one by one."

This kind of military tactics is indeed moving. ”

Li Cai also personally rolled up his sleeves on the battlefield in his early years, and he could also see the mystery of the military map, and he agreed with his chin.

The emperor said, "Do you understand the purpose of letting you see this book and the marching map?" ”

On the other side, Zhou Ping looked at each other.

In the past few days, they have been debating whether or not they should broaden their borders, use troops everywhere, and consume national strength.

At this morning's court meeting, there were still disputes between the civil and military forces.

Military generals naturally hope to have more opportunities to make military achievements.

Wenchen was in great pain, not wanting to hurt his muscles and bones and exhaust his national strength.

At this time, the emperor showed the ministers that Huo Qubing used troops in Xiguan and broke the enemy with a small number of pro-troops, as if he was slapping Wenchen in the face.

They were in the rear, but Huo Qubing was fighting on the front line to benefit the Han, especially during the newlywed.

In contrast, let the fan system, Zhou Ping people feel hot-skinned.

Only Li Cai and Gongsun Hong showed a look of thinking about the emperor's intentions: "Your Majesty wants to spread the recital and marching map from Xiguan?" ”

Liu Che showed a satisfied look: "Exactly."

Not to mention that when he went to Xiguan to fight in person when he got sick, he should be known to the world.

What's more important is that this thing is given to the Xiqiang departments, what effect do you say it will be? ”

Li Caicai was quick to think, and his eyes lit up slightly on his handsome and upright face: "Your Majesty is clever." ”

Gongsun Hong also said: "The Xiqiang tribes have looked at the marching map, compared with the terrain of Xiguan, the strength of the ancient Qiang tribe, and the intention of the champion Hou to use troops, they will definitely be more frightened and afraid.

The deeper benefit is that it can exacerbate factional antagonism within the Qiang people, so that their opinions cannot be unified. ”

Zhou Ping and the fan department also understood.

If the Qiang tribes had seen Huo Quai's strategy for employing troops and the war situation, the pro-Huns might not believe that this had been drawn before the war and would disdain it.

However, the other part of the Qiang people who believe in it will have differences with them, and increase the contradictions in dealing with the relationship with the Han Dynasty.

The key to dividing the Qiang people is not to send a single soldier.

Liu Che immediately ordered people to copy a number of marching maps and the recital of the Taishou Zhangjun in Xiguan, and sent them to Xiguan and the Qiang people in an urgent manner.

The ability to use inadvertent things to drive the overall situation has always been what Liu Che is good at.

This has been the case throughout his entire career in power, and it may be too late to react to the fact that his opponents are unconsciously underwhelmed.

And the relevant news, with the approval of the emperor, was the first to spread in Chang'an.

The well-informed clans soon learned the inside story.

"A few days ago, I went to the Champion Hou's Mansion to pay a visit, and the porter said that Huo Hou and the princess were traveling, and they returned in half a month. Today, I learned that what was sent back in half a month was a battle news, and the champion Hou broke the enemy in Xiguan and won the victory. ”

In Chang'an City, in a deep mansion compound, the heads of a cadre clan gathered together.

"If the champion Hou doesn't come back, the things inherited by me and others at home will always be in the military mansion and difficult to take out. The qi machine was slowly stripped away by the soldier's mansion, and if it didn't return for another month, the essence contained in those few inherited things would be consumed cleanly. ”

"Champion Hou Dang will not leave no room for error."

"It's hard to say......"

Li Zhaodao, the lord of the Li clan in Longxi, said: "Earlier today, in addition to the scroll that Zhang Taishou sent to His Majesty from Xiguan, he also sent me a message through another channel, which was only a little later than the scroll that entered the palace. ”

Several heads of the family knew that Xiguan Taishou Zhangjun's mother's surname was also from the Li family, so it was not surprising that he also sent news to the Li family.

"What did Taishou say?" A homeowner asked.

Li Zhaodao: "He said that the champion Hou drew a marching map, and the pre-war deduction and the subsequent war process are consistent one by one.

Zhang Jun admired Huo Quai's accurate judgment of the enemy's situation when he responded to the enemy.

The meaning of his words was to remind me not to easily get closer to Wenchen in Chang'an.

If the situation forces it, I have to choose a side, let me think carefully, his suggestion is to be in harmony with the soldiers, and we will provide resources to the soldiers behind the scenes. ”

Several heads of the family confirmed their eyes, and they were all stunned.

The lord of the Taiyuan Wang clan thought for a long time: "That marching map, I have also heard about it, is it really so magical?" ”

Li Zhong, the lord of the Li clan of Zhao County, said: "What's the use of you waiting for this, I just want to get back the general's sword at home."

This time I came to Chang'an really miscalculated, one wrong step, every step was wrong. Champion Hou came back early and got back the inheritance, which is serious. ”

And in the evening of this day, Huo Qu rode his horse into the city from the west gate and returned to Chang'an.

Ps: I'm not very satisfied with the writing, I adjusted it again, it's a little late, I'm sorry~
