The way back is from the north of the Xiongnu Yanran Mountain, to the south through the Xiongnu River, and continue south, and then it is close to the corridor area leading from the Han to the Western Regions.

Huo Qubing will let a part of the Western Huns who descended to the Han Dynasty settle in the former Xiu Tu Ze of the former Xiu Tu Department, and connect with the Hun Evil Department to the west, becoming a peripheral barrier between the Han and the Western Regions.

After that, if the Xiongnu wanted to fight for the Western Regions again, they needed to pass through the defense line of the Western Xiongnu to surrender to the Han on the periphery, and they could no longer directly threaten the northwest of the Han Territory.

This will be of great benefit to the subsequent development of the security of the Silk Road to the Western Regions.

At the same time, the connection between Xiqiang and the Xiongnu was completely severed.

The fertile soil of Hutuze, Qilian Mountain, Yanzhi Mountain and other areas will become the best horse farm in Han.

Lay the foundation for a longer-term military deployment.

From mid to late May, the various tribes of the Western Xiongnu came to gather near Hutuze one after another.

In the next month or two, there will still be more northern tribes of the Western Xiongnu who will migrate.

On the grassland, the Xiongnu and Han armies supported the migration of the Western Xiongnu, and there were still small-scale exchanges of fire from time to time.

And the news that Huo Qubing resolutely sent troops to intercept and bring the entire Western Huns back to Hutu Ze was shocked by it as soon as it came out.

The first to receive the news were the countries of the Western Regions that were closest to each other.

"The king of the chieftain Tu led the people to Han?"

When Roshna heard the news, she was discussing matters with the lord of the kingdom of Guizi.

The two were moved when they heard this.

"Yes, at present, along the east line of the Yumen camp, there have been migrated Western Xiongnu tribes, occupying the previous Hugh Tuze, the number of personnel, the tent is extended, at least more than 100,000 people have migrated.

I heard that there will be follow-up Western Xiongnu tribes will come. Silk Qimu reported.

Roshna subconsciously stroked her chest, suppressing the magnificence of both the surface and the psychological level.

She glanced at the Lord of the Turtle Kingdom in front of her.

Anyone who gets this news knows exactly what it means.

In the past, because of the strength of the Hutu Department and the Hun Evil Department, the two were connected in a line, so that the fertile areas adjacent to the Yanzhi Mountain and the Qilian Mountain were difficult for other Western Xiongnu tribes to touch.

At present, the Han took out this area and let the migrated population of the Western Xiongnu become its barrier, and the benefits were too great.

Of course, it is good for the Han Dynasty, but not necessarily for the current Western Regions.

In a sense, the area north of the Western Regions will also fall under the control of the Han.

Han's influence and actual control over the Western Regions have been greatly enhanced.

It will have a huge effect on Han's complete control of the Western Regions in the future.

Roshna and the Lord of the Turtle Kingdom were surprised and shocked when they figured out the reason.

The Han and Xiongnu went to war in the northwest, less than two months before and after, and the situation changed so drastically that everyone was surprised.

Champion Hou's grasp of strategy can be seen.

"After this battle, the strength and weakness of the Han and Xiongnu have been very clear."

The lord of the country of Qiuzi sighed: "If Roshnada Venerable has time, would he be willing to accompany his lord to Chang'an once?" ”

Roshna's starry eyes lit up slightly: "The lord of the country has thought about it?" ”

The lord of Qiuzi turned his eyes to the window and nodded slightly: "It's better to ...... late than early."

……

The chief Tu Wang also counted nearly 30,000 people from the Western Xiongnu tribes, and rested Tuze with Huo Quai, and entered the Xiguan of the Han Dynasty.

The 20,000 people of the Evil Sect had been waiting at the northwest border of the Han Dynasty.

More than 50,000 people from various tribes of the Western Xiongnu, plus the prisoners captured from other defeated tribes before, together with the forbidden army that returned to Chang'an, nearly 100,000 people approached Chang'an.

During the same period, the central royal court of the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu generals, the soldiers and horses of the various divisions were defeated one after another, the Western Xiongnu defeated the Chinese army in the royal court, and the Chinese army was also blocked after the attack of the Heavenly Soul Department.

The original Yi Zhixian would be very angry when he heard the news.

But slowly, even the anger faded.

On the afternoon of late May, Yi Zhi sat in the big tent with a slightly pale face.

In front of him was a charcoal fire and a copper stove, and the hot water in the stove was boiling, and the mutton was boiling.

This stove is also a gift from the early Han Dynasty at the beginning of the establishment of the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu.

The bronze material, three-legged, with a raised pattern on the outer wall, is very gorgeous, and was used as a stove for stewing mutton by Ichi.

At this time, he sat in front of the stove, scooped up the stewed mutton, and chewed it slowly, with no joy or anger on his face.

There were several Huns standing in front of them, reporting on everything.

"Da Danyu, the people of the Western Huns, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up......"

A Xiongnu tribesman glanced at Yi Zhixian and said, "In this battle, the population and land lost by my grassland tribes are nearly one-third.

The number of leaders captured by the Han Chinese in each department exceeded forty. Zuo Wang was captured after being shot and severely injured by the champion Hou, and died in the battle of the valley of the ......"

Yi Zhi swallowed the mutton in his mouth and said indifferently: "Before the great shaman's soul returned to heaven and earth, did he find the inheritor left behind?" ”

"I have found it, it is north of the royal court, the people from the small part of Sahetu, and they are on their way to the royal court."

"There's no news yet?"

"No, but after the men and horses of the Heavenly Soul Department were blocked, they all went north, to the vicinity of the Icy Lake, and the borage should be there."

"What is he doing wandering around the icy lake all the time?"

"I don't know."

"Well, you go down."

"Let Zhao Xin come over."

Zhao Xin was the general under Wei Qing at the beginning, and the Huns surrendered to the Han and returned to the Huns.

Not long after, Zhao Xin came to the royal court's big tent: "Da Danyu." ”

"All the tribes of my grassland have been defeated by the Han people in recent years, what do you think is the reason?" Yi Zhi asked.

Zhao Xinxin came to him to ask, obviously because he had descended to Han and knew Han better:

"You don't have to worry too much about big orders, winning or losing is a common thing. In the early years, the Han were often defeated by the soldiers and horses of our grassland.

The greatest advantage of the Han people is that they are good at learning, and their horse warfare develops quickly.

Compared to us, their combat readiness, armor shields, bows and crossbows are better. Just like their city, the city wall is high and thick, and it is not easy to attack, and my grassland departments do not have a high city for geographical advantage, so when the Han people also have elite soldiers and good generals, to attack us, the victory or defeat is likely to ......"

"What do you think of the next situation?"

Zhao Xin groaned, and when he asked this, it could be seen that Yi Zhixian had lost his previous ambition and lost confidence.

Defeated at the hands of Wei Qing in his early years, and even after being attacked by Huo Quai, Yi Zhixian was still ambitious and wanted revenge, and he was ashamed.

But this time the Western Xiongnu were defeated, and the Xiongnu poured out the current grain and grass and prepared for the army.

Zhelan Cavalry, Hugh Tu Department, Hun Evil Department, and even the Heavenly Soul Department are all the elite of the Huns.

But after the engagement, except for the Heavenly Soul Department, which suffered little loss, the rest of the troops were defeated.

The Evil Department, the Chieftain Tu Department defected to the Han.

More than a year ago, the Han champion Hou, with more and more sharp soldiers, Qi Zheng compatible, at the minimum cost, concentrated local advantages, and defeated all troops and horses, so the Huns were repeatedly defeated.

Yi Zhixian lost confidence in fighting again for himself, for all the Xiongnu tribes, including for Borage.

"All the tribes of my grassland are tribes that live in pursuit of water and grass, and the concept of protecting the land is not strong. Once defeated, they will migrate, so the lack of belief in fighting to the death is also very different from the Han people, and it is one of the reasons for our defeat.

The fact that the champion was able to defeat our divisions many times was also related to the fact that we wanted to withdraw when we were not in a good situation. ”

Zhao Xin paused and said, "The current situation is like this, Da Danyu may consider continuing to the north to open up another place for the various departments of my grassland to recuperate." ”

Yi Zhi slanted: "To the north? ”

"Yes, my steppe tribes are nomadic in various places, and it is normal to move to them.

We've been herding horses in this area for years, and it's time to move. Zhao Xin said.

Yi Zhi was silent for a moment: "Now is not the time to move north......"

Zhao Xinxin's last hope for Da Dan may be to see what the new great shaman and borage are doing......

————

Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu again on the way back, Wei Qing sent troops to block the Heavenly Soul Department, and the Western Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty...... A series of news was sent back to Chang'an by the embroiderers after Huo Quai's successful attack, and was informed to the emperor by Liu Qing.

When the officials heard the news, the government and the opposition were shaken.

Including the emperor, he was overjoyed by the news that the Western Xiongnu had surrendered to Han and that the chief Tu King was on his way to Chang'an.

Liu Qing knew Huo Quai's target before.

After all, she is now in charge of the battle information related to embroidery clothes and Huo Qu's disease, but after seeing the conclusive news, she can't help but feel throbbing.

When he first heard the news, the emperor also trembled lightly, and a drop of thick ink dropped on the bamboo slips waiting for approval.

When Dong Zhongshu heard the news, he was silent for half an hour, and then ...... I feel like my pores are dilating.

Huo Qubing not only won the battle of Hexi, but also solved the biggest hidden danger for the Han to the Western Regions.

The results of the Northwest War are far higher than the previous highest expectations.

June 4th.

The weather in Chang'an is fine.

Dong Zhongshu got up early in the morning and wore a light cyan Confucian suit, a wide robe with large sleeves, and a scarf on his head.

Bai Yu has followed Dong Zhongshu since he was a child, and he has only seen a handful of times, and he has dressed so formally.

The first time was to enter the palace to face the saint, Dong Zhongshu combined Confucianism with the current situation of the Han Dynasty in "Strategies for Promoting Virtue and Virtue", and absorbed the theories of other schools, which was deeply appreciated by the emperor.

The second time was when he became the first person of Confucianism by virtue of his luck in contributing to the country and supporting the Han family, and he ascended the altar to preach Confucianism for the people of the world.

Dong Zhongshu only dresses so formally and meticulously on days that he thinks is very important, even important to the world.

And today, it is the day when the champion Hou returns to Chang'an.

Dong Zhongshu wanted to go out of the city to greet him in person.

He tidied up his clothes in the mirror, and Bai Yu also changed into a Confucian robe and followed his teacher.

After the two went out, they met Sima Qian, who rushed over, and the group walked to the city gate in a chariot.

On the way to the north gate, I found that there was a huge crowd of people, and the number of people leaving the city was innumerable.

The whole of Chang'an seems to have entered a kind of eagerly awaited, festive-like atmosphere.

"I heard that the guest houses in the city have been overcrowded these days, and they have not been able to find a place to live.

People from all over the world come to my Chang'an, and there is an endless stream. ”

Bai Yu personally acted as the emperor, and Sima Qian sat on the other side, turning back to talk to Dong Zhongshu in the car.

"The land of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, I have roughly calculated, although it is slightly smaller than my Han Dynasty, but such a vast territory has never been opened up at one time.

Your Majesty should be crowned with a thousand merits, and the champion and general will also be famous for posterity.

Today's champion Hou is back, and it is not an exaggeration for all the people to welcome him. ”

Dong Zhongshu's voice came out of the frame, and he said happily: "Champion Hou came to the stage to pay respects to the general, and even His Majesty is going to greet him." ”

As the frame continued to move forward, it was crowded on both sides of the road, and people were waiting to get out of the city.

There was a lot of noise, and there was a lot of noise.

"Fortunately, we came early, so I'm not afraid to wait a little longer." Bai Yu smiled.

After waiting for about half an hour, the sun was hollow, and I was able to get out of the city.

When I came to the outside of the city, I looked far away, and I saw people waiting in line on both sides of the road for several miles.

Shaoqing, the emperor, the empress, Liu Qing and other people from the clan also came to the north gate of Chang'an.

The emperor specially decreed that the people could not help but watch the ceremony, so the crowd gathered, inside and outside the city, and it was overcrowded.

"Where's the sickness?" The emperor asked Liu Qing beside him.

Huo Quai's itinerary, Liu Qing knows best.

"When he came back, he first went to the military mansion in the northern suburbs to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in this battle."

Liu Qing is wearing a rouge long skirt, with a willow waist with a wide band, a smooth forehead decorated with red flowers, exquisite makeup, and gorgeous and gorgeous.

The emperor nodded slightly, thinking that he was getting more and more mature, and the first thing he did when he returned to Chang'an was to go to the military palace to pay respects......

Soon after, the voice of the champion Hou was heard from outside the city, and the crowd surged.

At the end of the line of sight on the outskirts of the city, a procession came from a distance.

The team is huge, the carriages and horses stretch, and the sight is boundless.

The first place is the forbidden army responsible for opening the way, and then there is Huo Quai, who is riding on the back of the cyan war horse Jin'an and is surrounded by the generals.

He was dressed in military uniform, and in the shouts of hundreds of people, his face was grim and unsmiling.

More rear is the Xiongnu soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty, headed by the king of chieftain Tu and the evil king of Hun evil, nearly 100,000 people, all the way is mighty, magnificent.

The history books contain: the champion returned to the dynasty, and there were 100,000 returnees, 10,000 cattle and horses, and the grand occasion was rare in ancient and modern times......

The queue slowly approached, and Huo Quzhi looked up at the emperor and empress who walked up to the city.

In addition to the two of them, Wei Zifu was holding the crown prince Liu Ju in his right hand, and Liu Qing was on the other side.

This time, Liu Qingneng was tied with the emperor and the empress, and it was Huo Qu's light. Because she was Huo Quai's wife and a member of the clan, she was able to climb the city tower and welcome the general's triumph.

At this time, the ancient music chimes in Chang'an City rang in unison.

The sound of music spread throughout Chang'an, and the twelve city gates slowly opened.

The gate of Chang'an is fully open, which means that the general will go out and return to open the door to welcome, which is the second half of the ceremony to worship the general, and only have the row after returning from the victory.

When Wei Qing hit Dragon City for the first time, it was also this row.

Dong Zhongshu stepped forward in person, helped Huo Qubing hold the reins of the horse, and motioned to welcome him off the horse.

According to the ceremony, this was too often Zhou Ping's work, and Dong Zhongshu took the initiative to undertake it.

That year, the general went on an expedition and returned to the court, and the master led the horse to greet him...... Dong Zhongshu has thought about the dramas and texts that have been circulated among the people.

Baiguan was also waiting under the city gate, looking enviously at Huo Quai, who had turned over and dismounted.

Liu Che took a step forward at the head of the city.

The Chinese character banner hanging on the city wall is waving in the wind.

There are many forbidden troops under the city, the soldiers are silent, and the army is prosperous.

The old prime minister, Gongsun Hong, personally went out of the city, took back the talisman in Huo Quai's hand, and handed it back to the emperor.

Huo Qubing bowed down outside the city to pray.

Suddenly, nearly 100,000 people who surrendered to the Han behind him knelt down at the same time, swearing allegiance to the Han and never repeated.

It's all a process drama that was told in advance, and it was played out from beginning to end.

Huo Quai's male protagonist.

But he was clearly reluctant to participate.

The acting skills are even worse, there is no expression in the whole process, and the emotions are not full.

The people outside the city were very interested in watching it, and the atmosphere was warm.

The musicians played music again, and the clear sound of the chimes was heard throughout the city.

Praise the official, read out the text of sending troops to the northwest and conquering the Xiongnu, as well as the significance of the general's conquest, the achievements and so on.

A long list of contents, read enough tea cup time.

Then Huo Quai's illness said loudly to the emperor: "The ministers are fortunate not to disgrace their lives, and they are returning from the battle today, sharing the joys and hardships with the soldiers on the way, no Xu Yan, no Xu abuse, eliminating violence and peace, and supporting the emperor's business!"

Now the military power will be returned to the dynasty, and from then on there will be an imperial system in the world, and the military power will be granted by the emperor!

But what His Majesty ordered, the subordinates obeyed! ”

It means that he told me to fight well, and I did it, and when I came back, I returned the military power and the fortunes of the country to the lord, and the ministers were ready to wait for your majesty's new orders.

Balabala, the routine is over, and then it's time for gossip.

The mood of the crowd watching the ceremony from afar reached its peak, and the whole city was boiling, and bursts of cheers rang out.

Huo Qu entered the city angrily, and the emperor came down from the city, beckoned with a smile on his face, asked him to come forward, and patted him on the shoulder.

Liu Che showed a relieved expression on his face that the child was not raised in vain, and turned back to Wei Zifu and said:

"I have something to talk about with the sick, talking about military affairs and state affairs, and the queen should sit in the phoenix behind her."

It means that I have to talk to the sick list, and I don't have your share.

The queen rolled her eyes, pulled her son, and asked Liu Qing to sit in a car with her.

Liu Qing couldn't hold back his emotions a little, and he was eager to try, wanting to sit with Huo Quai.

The husband and wife looked at each other.

Huo Quzhi motioned to his beautiful princess, let her sit in the back car, went home and closed the door, broke it and crumpled it and chatted, and then followed the emperor into the car.

After he got into the car, he first took out an object and handed it to the emperor.
