It was Zhao Ponu who was responsible for directing the Han army's drill and drill in the suburban school, and Huo Qubing did not come in person.

As the group's car drove into the camp of the guards on the outskirts of the city, Roshna was still pushing the sand tower in the car to check what was happening in the desert.

And Qiuzi and Gumo envoys got out of the car first.

Zhang Qian was responsible for receiving the envoys from the Western Regions and also followed aside.

"Huo Hou didn't come?"

The stern-faced Gumo envoy asked.

Zhao Ponu: "Hou Ye has heavy military affairs, but it is just to show you the training process, of course Hou Ye will not come in person." ”

The envoys of Gumo and Qiuzi looked at each other and smiled.

In their opinion, the fact that the champion Hou did not come should be related to his previous judgment that the Xiongnu would attack Gumo and Qiuzi.

After a few days, Qiuzi and other parties have never found anything abnormal.

The Han Military Academy performed martial arts, and Huo Quzhi hid and did not show up, for fear that he was worried that they would ask about it, and his judgment would be wrong and his face would be embarrassed.

"Why hasn't Dazun gotten out of the car yet?"

The group turned their heads to look over, but found that not only did Roshna, who came with him, not get out of the car, but his car suddenly turned around and returned to the city, at a very fast speed.

One of Roshna's maids, who stayed behind and walked in the direction of a few people, explained:

"Dazun has an urgent matter, so he needs to go to meet the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Champion Hou immediately, so that you can watch the training of the Han army here."

"Why is Dazun in a hurry to return to the city?" The envoy was puzzled.

The waitress shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

The envoys of Gumo and Qiuzi followed Zhang Qian and came to the platform in front of the school field, where they saw the vast and wide open space on both sides of the school field guarded by the forbidden army.

At this time, Zhao Ponu made a gesture.

Knock - knock!

In the school camp, the muffled sound of war drums sounded.

The ground trembled, and a Han army rode into the school from the other side.

The drill begins.

The Han army that appeared, everyone wore armor and rode tall horses, and it was a light cavalry team.

When its horses gallop, the military columns are staggered, and the movements are skillful and smooth. and with the entrance, a wave of military might rushed to the face, which made the eyes of Gumo and the Qiuzi envoy and others light up, and they watched intently.

At this time, the speed of the thousands of troops galloping into the school field increased dramatically, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

From the other side of the school field to the front of the school martial arts platform, but a distance of more than 100 zhang, this Han army launched a series of light cavalry training projects such as chopping, stabbing, changing formations, and shooting at targets on both sides of the school field.

The battle array was together, and the spirit of the whole army was wolf, and the clouds on the rushing sky were rolling and scattering, and the momentum was accumulating.

When the thousand troops rode and approached about ten zhang in front of the school martial arts platform, they completed the action of stopping the horse at the same moment.

The visual impact of the stationary transition from galloping to motionless is so strong that people don't realize that their hairs stand on end.

Zhao Ponu shouted: "Queue, fight!" ”

"Yui!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

In the sound of the clanging, more than 1,000 Han troops all drew their horses' side war guns and divided them into two columns to make a confrontation posture, and the war horses rushed against each other.

In an instant, the collision of weapons and armor became dense like a rainstorm.

The two columns of Han armies launched an actual combat confrontation with real swords and guns.

As far as the eye can see, the guns on the field are like snow, and the cold is shining.

Gumo, who was watching from the sidelines, had been so absorbed by the Qiuzi envoy that even his breathing seemed to have become weak.

"The Han army is really mighty, quick in attack and defense, well-trained, and skillful in battle, far beyond our expectations." The Gumo envoy sighed.

"What we saw in front of us was actual combat armor, spears and crossbows. I don't know what the Han army's ordinary training looks like? The envoy asked.

Zhang Qian smiled: "This is ordinary training.

After Huo Hou served as Lang's lieutenant commander, he asked his subordinates to wear armor and practice with troops.

Treat training as actual combat, and the more effort you put in, the greater the chance of defeating the enemy on the battlefield, Huo Hou himself said. ”

The Qiuzi envoy was surprised: "Ordinary people bring armor to conduct military training? What if you stab your own warrior? ”

Zhang Qian said: "Occasional stab wounds are inevitable. But they have been training for a long time, and they have a number in their hands, so they will not get seriously injured. ”

The fight between each other with real swords and guns, and the training that allowed injuries, was the first time that the two Fanbang envoys had heard of it.

The drill training has been so brave, let alone the actual combat?

They watched the school for nearly two hours.

The Han army practiced cavalry, infantry, battle formation changes, equestrian running, and cavalry archery one by one.

When the target was presented after the attack, a group of people from the Western Regions discovered that in addition to the wooden plank, the target was also equipped with a layer of pig iron in the middle.

What is amazing is that the front and back layers are actually pierced by arrows.

The arrows of the Han army are almost prismatic, carved with spiral patterns, and the ability to break armor is so strong that everyone in the Western Regions is amazed.

After watching all the drills, several people still felt unfinished.

They hurried back to the palace where the envoys were entertained in the southern city, and when they asked if Roshna had not returned.

After returning to the city in the afternoon, he went to the palace to ask for Huo Qubing and the emperor, but he has not returned.

The two envoys realized that something must have happened, so they also followed to Weiyang Palace, and after asking to see him, in the emperor's study, they saw Luo Shina, Huo Quai, and a few Han people.

The sun is about to set, and the fiery red sunset is reflected through the window.

The atmosphere in the study was solemn.

"What the hell is going on?"

Both Gumo and the envoy of Qiuzi sensed that something was wrong.

Roshna said sadly: "The people of Loulan have sent troops from the south to the northwest, directly stabbing at the southern border cities of Guzi and Mexico, and they are now at war.

I also saw a wisp of blood spreading and raging across the land of my turtles. ”

The Gumo envoy was stunned and said: "Is it really attacking my Gumo from south to north, Qiuzi?"

With the strength of the Loulan army, how can you attack my Qiuci and Gumo? ”

An Luori, the envoy of Qiuzi, also stared at Roshna, his breathing became a little short, but he still reported a little luck in his heart: "How dare they? ”

Roshna said: "I consumed soul power to merge with Shata, and throughout the afternoon, I kept seeing some broken scenes.

Slowly put them together, and the process of things is gradually complete.

Loulan was a confluence of Pu species, as well as the neighboring Qiang, Xiqiang, together with the two sides of Jimo and Jingjue, to form a coalition army. ”

"They've already done it, so what else would they dare?"

The envoys of Gumo and Qiuzi were extremely frightened, their hands and feet were cold, and they were in a cold sweat in an instant.

After a while, the two suddenly looked at Huo Quai:

"What Huo Hou said before is being fulfilled one by one, may I ask if Champion Hou has a remedy?"

This time, it was Roshna who was in charge of translating and relaying, but in fact, before the two came, she had already asked Huo Quzhi the same question.

Huo Quzhi said lightly: "No."

The Xiongnu made a big move this time, and the Western Xiongnu have also sent troops to obstruct the participation of our Han army. At this time, outside the West Pass of the Han Dynasty, I was also fighting with the men and horses of the Western Huns. ”

The west side of the Han border is far less cold than the northeast, so although it is winter, small-scale battles between Han and Hungary still occur from time to time.

This time, Loulan's attack on Gumo and Qiuzi was a targeted action from the Huns.

Huo Qubing defeated several tribes in the eastern steppe, and the Xiongnu launched an attack on the Western Regions.

The fundamental purpose of the two sides is to seize the strategic initiative.

"You two don't need to be in such a hurry, I informed me of Qiuzi and Gumo when I heard Huo Hou's judgment a few days ago, and they are not defenseless. Huo Hou also said that the other side is a coalition army, and it is difficult to win with all its might, and the situation is not too bad. Roshna said.

Gu Mo and the envoy of Guizi nodded gloomily and sat behind the low seat.

Soon after, the group, including Roshna, withdrew from the emperor's study.

There were no outsiders, Liu Che put one hand on the low seat, and couldn't help laughing:

"It's a good plan to get sick, and let the coalition forces organized by Loulan first clash with Qiuzi and Gumo to increase their threat.

When we take action to solve the danger of the Loulan coalition army, Gumo and Qiuzi will be more grateful for the kindness of my Han. ”

Dong Zhongshu only came half an hour earlier than the two envoys from the Western Regions, and he didn't know the plan of the emperor and Huo Quai.

He listened to what the emperor said, but he understood, and said: "Your Majesty's intention is that we still have arrangements, which can solve the danger of Qiuzi and Gumo?" ”

"Before returning to Chang'an, he asked Zhang Cigong to lead the army to Xiguan, and now the soldiers and horses of the Xiguan and the Western Huns are holding each other down."

Liu Che said calmly: "In addition, when the Xiguan Taishou Zhang Army went to receive the envoys from the Western Regions, after going to attack the Xiqiang tribes, they advanced the soldiers and horses to the direction of the West Sea and stayed there. At present, the position of this army has become extremely important.

Three days ago, Li Kang also led his troops to join Yao Zhao, which echoed the troops and horses in Xihai. ”

Dong Zhongshu immediately figured out the key.

If Loulan wants to attack Qiuzi Gumo, it is necessary to use the surrounding departments to jointly send troops to have enough strength.

Therefore, when they went to attack Qiuzi, the position of the people arranged by Huo Qubing gave them the opportunity to blitzkrieg and send troops to join forces with them, especially the Xiqiang tribes.

The wonderful thing is that Huo Qubing arranged soldiers and horses in advance, went to Xiguan, and used the Xiguan of the Han Dynasty as a cover, and it is difficult for outsiders to know that the Han army has been deployed inside and outside Xiguan and has the conditions for a surprise attack.

"It's a recipe for multiple things.

If we send troops, we can further attack the troubles of the tribes outside the West Pass of our Han Dynasty, and we can also let the coalition army organized by Loulan be attacked on the back.

After they heard about it, they were likely to withdraw their troops and return to help, and the danger of Qiuzi and Gumo was hopefully resolved. ”

Dong Zhongshu glanced at Huo Quai, who was in an official robe, and his majesty was getting worse: "How can Huo Hou see the other party's plan in advance?" ”

"I didn't see it in advance."

Huo Quzhi said calmly: "The Huns may have arranged on the west side when I broke through Wuhuan and Fuyu.

This time, Loulan and the Western Xiongnu are united, and it should be that the borage is behind the push, or there are follow-up means, and wait and see what happens. ”

The group discussed for a moment, and then dispersed.

After Huo Qubing returned to the guard camp, he asked Song Ran beside him: "The operation over there has begun?" ”

Today is the time to discuss with Ru Bohu to start the arrest of the mysterious Yellow Car Messenger Yu Chu.

"Yes." Song Ran responded.

"Let's also go and see, that Yu Chu dares to act in Chang'an secretly, and the plan is not small."
