When Li Cai finished reading the holy decree, Huo Qubing suddenly looked in one direction.

At the head of the city, a figure of the emperor dressed in a dragon robe appeared, and next to him was the empress Wei Zifu.

"On the day of the destruction of the Huns, I personally went out of the city to welcome you back to Chang'an."

This is Huo Quzhi's words when he was a child and said that he would slaughter the Xiongnu in the future, and the emperor laughed in response.

Nearly ten years have passed, and the emperor still remembers that he really came to greet him in person.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The emperor suddenly arrived, Li Cai and other ministers, the people.

The crowd knelt down the long street.

"The destruction of the Xiongnu is the common wish of the previous emperors and me starting from Emperor Gaozu.

From the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty to the beginning of my reign, there have been seven generations of emperors.

The same wish of successive emperors was to build a strong army that was strong enough to defeat the Siyi and defeat the Xiongnu. ”

The emperor's voice was deafening, and there was silence inside and outside the city.

"Since the beginning of Gaozu, my Han Dynasty has implemented horse politics, encouraged horse breeding, and recruited all parties in the border areas and all good riders to join the army.

By the time my father's generation was in power, the cavalry of my Han border finally began to take shape. At that time, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was that thousands of our Han Dynasty rode south to defeat the rebels with the momentum of devastating and decaying.

My Han Dynasty has been accumulating ambition for 70 years, accumulating from generation to generation, and the throne has passed to me, and the time has finally come to fight back against the Xiongnu. ”

The emperor scanned the inside and outside of Chang'an, looking thousands of miles away.

"Nine years ago, on the day Wei Qing commanded the troops to attack Dragon City, I couldn't sleep all night.

Because I know that what the ancestors and emperors hoped for will be fulfilled in my hands.

Now there is a champion Hou, who has opened up the territory for me, destroyed the city and uprooted the invincible, and made immortal contributions to the world for the sake of all the people.

Breaking the Huns is faster and more thorough than I thought! ”

"Today, the general returns, and I welcome him with all the people!

Everyone, get up! ”

In the boiling atmosphere of Chang'an City, Huo Qubing came to the city gate.

The emperor said to the empress: "The empress went to the back of Luan to drive back to the palace by herself, and I rode in the same car with Da Sima, and I have something to say." ”

Again...... Wei Zifu put on his back robe, his head was inserted in a phoenix hairpin, his clothes were gorgeous, and he rolled his eyes.

It's not the first time that she's going to go back and take a ride to get back.

She saw that the emperor was on the rise, so she would not be angry, and refused: "It's also my nephew who is sick, and I want to ride with him." "The small waist twisted, and he went to the emperor first.

The emperor smiled dumbly, and then boarded the car with Huo Quai.

Huo Qubing sat on the flanks, and the emperor and empress sat side by side.

"Champion Hou knows the changes in the war in the extreme west?" The car drove off, and the emperor asked directly.

Huo Quzhi responded: "I have contacted my uncle to discuss military affairs in the past few days.

My uncle moved his troops three times in a few days and fought Parthia.

The first time was to lure the enemy deeper, 6,000 Parthian light horsemen, and more than 3,800 people were beheaded in the Onion Yuan Realm. ”

The emperor said: "The second time is to take the initiative to attack, advancing west from Chigu City north of Onion Yuan, and the front of the army is directed at Lan Clan City, the core of the Otsuki Clan.

When the commander of the other party was fully deploying defenses in Lan Clan's City, Wei Qing suddenly led his troops to the south, attacking another Parthian army stationed in the southeast of the Great Moon Clan.

In this battle, the enemy was broken, the southeast corner of the Dayue clan was cut off, and it fell back into the hands of our Han. ”

The emperor didn't have much chance to go to war, so he was very keen to discuss the war to alleviate the regret of not being able to go to the battlefield in person.

He is indeed proficient in military affairs and has studied hundreds of military books.

History says of him as a great strategist.

When Huo Qubing was a child, the emperor also wanted to personally teach his grandson, Wu Qi, the art of war.

"Uncle snatched a small piece of the southeast corner of the Otsuki Clan, which is particularly important in terms of strategy, and can form an advantage in sending troops to the south and east of Lan Clan's city.

The other party will naturally not be reconciled.

So the third encounter, which was the opponent's counteroffensive, took place on the night two days after the second battle.

The opponent's heavy cavalry attacked.

My uncle dug a dense trap in advance on the ground under the main road of Akiti Castle. The masonry laid on it looks like normal, and even ordinary horses will have no problem walking on it.

But when the Parthian heavy cavalry ran up, the bricks would break, and the horses' hooves would sink into the pit as they ran, and hundreds of horses would be broken. ”

The emperor laughed heartily: "Exactly, the other party was targeted by Wei Qing every step of the way, and he lost all three battles."

Especially in the last battle, the Parthian ironclad army lost nearly a thousand. I heard that their ironclad army has never suffered defeat since its birth.

The pit dug under the stone bricks in the city was discussed by you and Wei Qing together? ”

Huo Quzhi said humbly: "It's my uncle's arrangement."

It was very difficult to deal with heavy cavalry on the plains.

Therefore, my uncle began to provoke the opponent's mentality from the first battle, and after the promotion of the second battle, the opponent lost both battles, and the general's mentality became eager, and he mobilized heavy cavalry to urge the city, which happened to fall into his uncle's calculation.

In the entire battle plan, the minister only made one suggestion, that is, under the hollowed-out floor tiles, support them with objects, so that the heavy cavalry that passed first could pass smoothly.

It only collapsed when the stone turn was trampled many times and the load-bearing thing broke, so as to lure more heavy cavalry into the ambush. ”

"Uncle and ministers feel that it's a pity, the time is too short, and the trap is not perfect, otherwise the other party will never lose eight hundred heavy cavalry in this battle."

Wei Zifu listened quietly on the sidelines.

Liu Che's undisguised joy when talking about military affairs is very rare.

"If you have a chance, you want to touch the Parthian heavy horseman." Huo Quzhi's eyes were shining.

He has always had a strong desire to conquer the world, defeat all strong soldiers from all walks of life, and lead the Han army to the top of the mountain.

Parthia was one of the strongest opponents of this era, and Rome, which was more western, had not yet reached its peak and had not yet entered the imperial age.

"Lang Zhongling has a plan to break Parthia?"

Huo Quzhi: "I have some ideas, I plan to try them." ”

The emperor said gently: "You go back to the house to rest for a while, and then talk about it when Pingxian gives birth safely." ”

Huo Quzhi snorted, and his heart was slightly hot.

After going on the expedition for several months, and Liu Qing was pregnant, it was indeed time to go home.

"The minister has another thing to report."

Huo Quzhi said: "Wuhuan, Fuyu, Xianbei and other departments want to transfer the elite of the clan to join our Han army, and let their subordinates be uniformly dispatched by our Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to disarming their last military strength by themselves, in order to show their determination to enter the Han Dynasty." ”

The surrender of the authority of soldiers and horses is a sign of further submission.

"That's a good thing, what conditions do they have?"

"They still want to maintain the right to raise horses in their ancestral land, and they want to keep their ethnic names, that is, after completely returning to the Han Dynasty, they will retain the identity of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, that is, they will become a minority tribe in our Han country, which can be called the Hanmin Xianbei tribe and the Hanmin Wuhuan tribe."

This condition is not excessive.

When the emperor returned to the palace, he first stopped at the Champion Hou's Mansion outside the north gate, put Huo Qubing down, and then left.

"Master Hou!"

In the palace, many attendants gathered to greet each other.

Huo Qu was sick and returned to the inner house.

Liu Qing's attendant greeted him and said: "Your Highness originally wanted to go to greet the marquis, but the mother-in-law from the palace said that the little marquis was in a horizontal position when he was in labor, and it was not easy to give birth, so let His Highness have a baby at home." ”

Huo Quzhi was a little surprised.

The transverse position is that before labor, the child is in the mother's body, and the head and feet are curled up horizontally in the fetal membranes. In ancient times, most of the dystocia was due to this reason, and it was impossible to give birth.

Of course, this world has the power of immortals and demons, and there are still solutions, so it won't be too serious.

But it's always more dangerous than a child in a normal position.

Huo Qu took three steps and two steps into the dormitory.

"Husband."

"Master Hou."

The big and small daughters-in-law, even Bai Nanyu is also there.

On this expedition, he didn't take Bai Nanyu with him, and his injuries did not heal and he stayed in the house.

Zhuo Qingke came to talk to Liu Qing, and happened to wait for Huo Qu to come back from illness.

I haven't seen her for months, but the three daughters have beautiful faces and haven't changed at all.

Bai Nanyu is wearing an apricot-colored long skirt, and Zhuo Qingke is a rouge-colored fairy skirt.

Liu Qing was dressed in a loose princess dress, with a big belly, bare feet and light plum embroidered shoes, sitting on the edge of the couch.

Seeing Huo Quai, Liu Qing's eyes bloomed with joy.

"Brother Huang's personal decree is not to let others tell me when you will come back, for fear that I will pick you up."

Liu Qing got up and leaned over, and the white-skinned and beautiful long-legged princess seemed to be plump.

Huo Quzhi took Liu Qing's warm hand and said to Zhuo Qingke and Bai Nanyu: "Sit down, don't be so polite at home." ”

Returning from the expedition, there is a lot of excitement.

Liu Qing is waiting to give birth in the past few days.

In the palace, the clan, and the Daomen, there are stable women, and the doctors come over, live in the house, and are on call at any time.

In the evening, a banquet was held at the house.

The chef took out the ability to press the bottom of the box, and the main dish was roasted deer tendon and chicken jumping.

Roasted deer tendon is a very famous dish, with deer tendon as the main ingredient, with the upper persimmon fruit, radish and other firing, not fishy at all, but also with a very strong aroma, golden color.

Chicken jumping is made with green shrimp and chicks as the main ingredients, and you can eat two different textures of shrimp and chicken in one dish.

After dinner, take a shower and change clothes, and go to bed to rest.

Huo Quzhi pondered reuniting with the big belly after a long absence, and exchanging feelings.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

After Liu Qing fell asleep, he came to the study alone.

In the direction of the inner lake of the Hou Mansion, there are frogs chirping one after another, forming a unique movement of the summer night.

Huo Quzhi took out a broken book of Jane.

This is the half-holy book that was sacrificed by Borage, and it was cut down by the Hongming knife.

Huo Qubing has tried to strip the qi from it in the past few days, intending to use it to trace the demi-saint.

When sealing the wolf, he broke the surface of heaven and earth, and saw a wisp of qi belonging to the half-saint, and finally sank into the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

An imperial mausoleum, many unsolved things are related to it.

The life and death of Emperor Qin, the true face of the immortal lord, the ancestral dragon, and the demi-saint of unknown origin, these clues are all concentrated in the imperial tomb.

Huo Quzhi looked at the bamboo slip, put it away, pondered for a moment, and asked in a voice:

"Bai Nanyu, who is the original founder of Zonghengdao, do you know?"

Bai Nanyu was in the bedroom of the small courtyard that originally belonged to Zhuo Qingke, her long hair was hanging down after bathing, leaning on the low couch and reading a simple book.

She wore a crisp white lining, revealing her shapely and delicate calves and snow-sparkling feet.

The chest is ajar, the clavicle is delicate, and the shoulder socket is concave.

Hearing the sound of Huo Qu's illness, Bai Nanyu pursed her lips slightly, and thought for a moment before saying:

"The Zonghengdao was originally created by some Zongheng families during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but I don't know who it is, it seems to be created by many people."

He also said: "But there is a news circulating among the three sons and nine respects of the Zongheng Dao that the original founder may be one of the disciples of Guiguzi, the originator of Zonghengdao. ”

There are eight disciples of Guiguzi who are famous all over the world, or they are passed down by themselves, or they have obtained the inheritance of Guiguzi from generation to generation, and most of them are prominent in the world.

Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan.

In addition, there are some records that Shang Ying, Lü Buwei, Bai Qi, and Li Mu have more or less been inherited from the Guigu Valley, which is integrated with what they have learned and benefited a lot.

In addition, Xu Fu, Le Yi, and Gan Mao are also among the rumors.

Disciple of Guigu ...... Huo Quzhi is analyzing the origin of that half-saint, and the other party will not come out of thin air after all.

If it's not for the Immortal Lord...... What Huo Quzhi can think of, he is the most suspicious in the vertical and horizontal veins.

After a moment, he turned his mind away.

The four poles of heaven and earth, the bronze pillars corresponding to the north collapsed, and turned into countless incantations and poured into the well.

For several days, the well has been emitting a glimmer of light.

Huo Qu's disease is also the reason for the existence and manifestation of the four-pole bronze pillar many times.

What would happen if it was really necessary to break through the country outside of Shenzhou with a military front, and finally the copper pillars in all four directions would be unlocked.

Accumulate soldiers and achieve soldiers?

Or is it related to some secrets of Shenzhou.

The copper pillars in the north are broken, corresponding to the steppe tribes.

The West should correspond to the countries of the Western Regions.

But at the moment, there is still war in the vicinity of the Western Regions, so the copper pillar is still there.

The south corresponds to the poison, so what country is east of the Han Dynasty?

Stretching out into the East China Sea...... Is it the place of seeking immortals in the East China Sea mentioned in the first emperor's handscroll, or the Japanese kingdom in later generations?

Huo Quzhi groaned for a moment and reined in his consciousness.

Knowing the sea, the halo in the ancient well is rushing.

The copper pillar incantation that poured into the well obviously triggered a new change in the ancient well.

Huo Quai's consciousness, looking above the wellhead.

As far as the eye can see, there are many symbols in the wall of the well, and the light is dense.

When consciousness penetrates into it, the symbols of the collapse of the four-pole copper pillar intertwine with each other, deriving a halo of rhythmic light like the surface of water.

Huo Quzhi's consciousness extended, as if he had entered a secret realm of heaven and earth in an instant.
