In Chang'an in December, the small lake in the palace had a slight ice ballast.

There was a light snow the day before yesterday, and the dark colors of the corners of the eaves and halls were exposed in the snow, black and white, and the falling snow became a painting.

Huo Qubing met Wei Qing in the mansion who had just returned from patrolling.

The apse also gathered a few family members, such as Aunt Li, Xiong San, and Huo Quai's wives and concubines.

In the snowy weather, I eat hot hot pot.

The three-legged bronze pot is full of ancient charm.

"I heard that Princess Pingyang often goes to her uncle's mansion during this time?"

"Your aunt also said that during my absence, Her Royal Highness the princess came to the door twice, and invited your aunt to her house, with a friendly attitude."

Wei Qing said: "The queen, your mother, and I have all worked in Pingyang Mansion, and they have been given the opportunity to advance according to them, and they are valued by Your Majesty.

It's not close now, but there's no need to be hostile. ”

Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "I heard my mother mention the events of the year, when I was just born, I was almost executed because of my improper background, and it is thanks to my uncle who came forward to plead with Princess Pingyang.

It is said that Princess Pingyang had a different attitude towards her uncle back then. ”

And he said, "She has also been widowed for two years.

If he wants to marry his uncle's house, his uncle must be mentally prepared. ”

Wei Qing frowned and said, "Nonsense, how can you talk about such things casually." ”

Huo Quai's secret thinking is not my nonsense, it is like this in history.

Wei Qing in front of him has a lofty figure, wearing a cyan Hanfu robe and a short beard on his chin.

Wei Qing, who is less than forty years old, is already a very popular minister, full of Confucian demeanor, calm eyes, and unwavering.

If Princess Pingyang wants to remarry, Wei Qing is the first choice in all aspects.

"Uncle should show his refusal as soon as possible as a precaution. She walked around with her aunt, probably with the intention of listening to the news of her uncle's house. ”

Huo Quzhi briefly mentioned it, and then took out a pair of generals from the Divine Mansion: "Uncle, take a look." ”

"When you shot down the stars, the world shook. When I went to patrol the border, there was a heated discussion among the border troops in various places, and some generals asked in front of me if they could vote for you. ”

Wei Qing looked at the armor with a smile: "This is the armor you created when you shot down the stars?" ”

The armor is dark throughout, as if it can absorb light, and the surface of the dark light flows.

There seems to be a breath of qi hidden in the armor, which naturally has the attribute of hiding in the dark, giving people a solemn and majestic look.

Its carapace is made of fish scales, and there are no gaps when stacked up and down.

Because the material itself is strong enough, it does not need to be too thick, and after carving the formation pattern, it further enhances the defense and reduces the weight.

The chest and waist of the armor are three tiger head goggle-like guards, round, convex in the middle, and the style is bursting!

"This general's armor has been carved with a special formation pattern, as well as the sword, which is made of materials at the core of the star iron, and the density is higher."

Huo Quzhi took out a pitch-black broad-ridged sword, and gave it to Wei Qing along with the armor, introducing the origin of the armor:

"This kind of star iron is difficult to quench and change to a liquid state because the temperature is not enough.

Fortunately, the Mo family has a special spell for forging soldiers, which can be blessed to increase the temperature of the furnace. ”

"With the current national strength of our Han Dynasty, we will start work with all our might, and we will not be able to build 400 pieces in January, and it is far away to equip the whole army. But the defensive nature of this armor, and the attack power of the forged sword soldiers, are far ahead. ”

Huo Quai's own troops, the war lance, have also been preliminarily completed.

He wanted to go to the battlefield and test the power of the lance.

"How many generals have been recommended by the clan to go to the Western Front to participate in the war?"

Wei Qing took the armor soldier, looked down, and asked by the way.

"They are all with the heavy cavalry raised by the clan, and the few people recommended by them also have some military talents." Huo went to the sick road.

"How many troops has Rome mobilized this time?"

"Our information scouting on the Western Front is a bit unstable, and it's hard to find out.

What I know is the 6th and 7th Legions of Rome, and the 1st Corps of Defense. The 1st Corps was drawn to the east, approaching the Adlicia Stronghold that we had occupied. ”

Huo Quzhi said: "I judge that the temple army in the hands of the Senate has also participated in the war, but the traces have not yet appeared, and they may use the sea route to kill them." ”

He asked rhetorically, "Is there any movement on Yamato Island in the east?" ”

"Nope."

Wei Qing said: "I have set up multiple light and dark checkpoints on the island. You said before that the fairy concubine has been hidden in the West for a hundred years, and there are many arrangements. I suspect that they want to use troops in conjunction with the East and the West to mess with us. ”

The chatter-like conversation between the nephew and uncle involved the prediction of the situation between the enemy and the enemy, and their respective arrangements.

A few of the ladies over there were also whispering.

At noon, the sky clears after the snow.

From Chang'an all the way to the west, thousands of miles away, the climate is getting warmer.

The front line of the western part of the Han Dynasty, Adlicia was the military fortress.

Zhang Cigong served as the commander-in-chief of the former army of the Han Dynasty.

Chang'an has frozen, but the temperature in the area where Asia and Europe meet is still above zero.

Zhang Cigong wore a general armor, stood at the head of the military fortress in the wind, and looked west.

The front army of the Romans was a hundred miles away.

The Fulu branch stood beside him and said in a low voice: "The sect sent a few guys, eager to make meritorious contributions, and they wanted to attack as soon as they came.

According to my meaning, if they want to steal the credit, then let them out and use them as bait to create opportunities for us. ”

Zhang Cigong squinted his eyes and said, "Don't think I don't know your careful thoughts, put it away as soon as possible."

You want to secretly make stumbling blocks, make them suffer defeat, make the illusion that the front line is tight, change directions to help Da Sima lift the ground, and let His Majesty send him to the Western Front.

Let me tell you, this is playing with fire, and it will not do Da Sima any good. ”

The short scar on the tip of the Fulu branch of the eyebrows was as hideous as a centipede, twitching slightly, and did not say a word.

"You and Zhao Anji, Yao Zhao, I can see through the plans of a few of you, do you think Your Majesty will not be able to see it, put it away as soon as possible."

Zhang Cigong raised his eyes and said, "Da Sima beat King Changshan to death...... The clan's request to send a few generals over was the result of mutual compromise.

The clan is not blind, and the generals selected are not useless and do not know military affairs.

They just want to be successful.

Da Sima had already guessed that a few of you didn't hold back your fart, and the news specially advised. ”

Fu Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Da Sima came out for Chen Qing to kill King Changshan. This responsibility, there is no second one in the world. ”

He was about to continue, but temporarily changed his words: "Those guys from the sect are here. ”

The generals sent by the clan were mainly Cao Xiang, the deputy general was Han Shuo, and there were four or five other generals.

The identities of Cao Xiang and Han Shuo are not simple.

Cao Xiang is a direct member of the clan, and his mother is Princess Pingyang.

He is also the great-grandson of Pingyang Marquis Cao Shen, who was personally entitled by Emperor Gaozu, the nephew of Emperor Liu Che, and the son of Pingyang Marquis Cao Shou.

The prominence of his status can be seen.

And only his identity dares to come to the Western Front at a time like this.

Cao Xiang was only twenty-four years old at the time, and he was born quite heroic.

In history, Wei Qing personally took him to the battlefield, debuted from the Battle of Mobei, and won some meritorious deeds.

Emperor Wu also had the intention of cultivating this nephew, but his qualifications were limited, and he never had too high achievements.

However, he also practiced the lineage of soldiers and was familiar with military theory.

Han Shuo, who was beside him, was also a general, who had served as a general in the border army and had a lot of battlefield experience.

Han said that he was still the grandson of Gong Gaohou Han Rongdang.

His elder brother Han Yan was a classmate of the emperor when he was the king of Jiaodong in his early years, and he had a very close relationship with the emperor and often ate and lived together.

It's just that he later offended the Queen Mother and was given death.

But Han said that he still relied on his ancestral relationship and had a lot of opportunities, and he also followed Wei Qing to attack the Huns repeatedly.

He came with Cao Xiang, he was the princess of Pingyang, and the clan personally came forward to poach and pave the way for Cao Xiang.

Princess Pingyang has only one son, and recently sent a signal of reconciliation to Wei and Huo, and she wants to reduce resistance to her son, which is also one of the reasons.

After all, at the moment, Wei Huo and the two of them are in the army with one hand covering the sky.

Princess Pingyang paved the way for her son, and if she wanted to get Wuxun, she couldn't avoid the two.

"General Zhang, our Han army is invincible, and it has fought with Rome several times, and it has won all of them, why do you want to hold on this time?

In my opinion, it is better to take the initiative to attack, and take advantage of their unstable position to make several surprise attacks, so as to deter the enemy army and improve morale. ”

Cao Xiang wore a crown on his head, had a rectangular face, held the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes were sharp, and his momentum was compelling.

Fu Lu Zhi said lightly: "The Roman army is strong, and the reason why it has been able to win in the past few times is because Da Sima personally commanded on the front line. Do you think you are the Great Sima, and you are sure that you will win Rome? ”

Zhang Cigong sighed secretly, and the Fulu branch still couldn't help but stumble.

He deliberately provoked Cao Xiang.

And Cao Xiang's identity is qualified to disobey Zhang Cigong's orders and attack on his own.

This time, he came to take the post of overseer.

He had to go out to raid the Romans, and the news of the defeat brought by him might allow the emperor to lift Huo Quai's grounding in advance and come to the Western Front to command the army.

The key is that the Han army's brilliant record in recent years has given some people in Chang'an the illusion that the Han army can win if it attacks.

The vigilance of the soldiers, after the comprehensive defeat of the Xiongnu, for some people, has been declining.

What's more, with the vastness of the country's borders today, some people even think that losing once or twice is not a big deal.

Cao Xiang received the full support of the clan and was the emperor's nephew, and after coming over, he suggested sending troops several times.

Fu Lu Zhi, Zhao Anji, and Yao Zhao formed a small group, and Cao Xiang had only been here for two days, and they had already stuffed several small shoes.

Cao Xiang was blinded by small shoes, and the thief squeezed his feet.

He was only in his twenties, and when he was in his prime, he looked at Fu Lu Zhi angrily and said: "Don't think that you are the person of Da Sima, I dare not do anything to you, you should be careful when you speak."

I, Cao Xiang, have been on the battlefield, and I don't rely on anyone to get to this day, you are a Zhonglang general, and so am I.

Da Sima is like a god in using soldiers, and I also admire him, but it doesn't mean that others won't fight. When the opponent is encamped, what is wrong with a surprise attack that shakes his military camp?

Isn't it right that the enemy is unstable, and the thunder strikes to cut off its morale?

We have this strong fortress to rely on, and we can advance and retreat freely, so what can we fear from the Romans? ”

Fulu Zhishen bowed: "We are all rough men, General Cao Dazhonglang is familiar with military books, and what he said is very true, please attack." When you return victorious, the big guy will take credit for you.

Thou shalt be on thy own, and if thou wilt prevail over Rome, we will be under thee. ”

Cao Xiang was furious, his brows furrowed.

Zhang Cigong also has calculations in his heart.

If Cao Xiang can't withstand the agitation and really commands the troops to fight a surprise attack, Zhang Cigong is ready to secretly send troops to take advantage of Cao Xiang, Han said to play the vanguard, contain Rome, and create opportunities for the rest of the Han army.

Zhang Cigong told the Fulu branch not to make a stumbling block.

But he also stood on the side of the Fulu branch and said: "We have a military order, so it is inconvenient to go out of the camp."

However, Cao Zhonglang said that you have a different identity, do not rely on anyone, and are familiar with military books, which is indeed true. ”

While saying that Cao Xiang's identity is different, he emphasized that he does not rely on anyone, and openly and secretly points out that he relies on relationships.

Cao Xiang almost got angry, turned around and left.

He still had some city mansions, so he didn't have a seizure on the spot, and only after going down to the city did he say to Han:

"When I was in Chang'an, I heard that Huo Quai's subordinates were all arrogant and fierce, and no one could suppress them, and sure enough. I will let them know that my Cao Xiangfei relied on my mother and uncle to lead the army. ”

"Didn't he Huo Qu's illness also rely on his uncle to raise him, so he got the opportunity to lead the army?"

In mid-December, the armies of the Western Front faced off.

Cao Xiang couldn't help but lead the heavy cavalry that came to the Western Front with him late at night, and attacked the Romans brazenly.

Chang'an, after dark, the lights are dim.

The back house of the champion palace is full of flowers.

Liu Qing wanted to suppress Bai Nanyu in practice, and recently asked Huo Qubing to bless and instill the power of cultivation in her body, and her strength increased very quickly, and after getting together for a family banquet in the evening, she was busy going to practice.

Huo Quzhi came from Zhuo Qingke to Bai Nanyu.

Secretary Bai is practicing the secret technique of body poison that she taught Zhuo Qingke back then, showing amazing body flexibility and ease.

……

Late at night.

Huo Quzhi got up from the couch and put on the matching armor.

Bai Nanyu's eyes opened a thin slit, and she said lazily: "The prince is going out in armor at this time, and he wants to do something with someone?" ”

"Well, go out and have an event." Huo went to the sick road.

Bai Nanyu propped herself up: "I want to go too." ”

Huo went to the place where he was sick, and brought her with her, maybe it would be of unexpected use: "Then you get up and get dressed, and take you to have a look." ”

Bai Nanyu got up happily.

The night was dark.

At the junction of Asia and Europe, in the Roman barracks, the general of the First Army showed murderous expression: "I knew that the Han army would not be able to bear it, and it really came!" ”

PS: Asking for votes, thank you
