Chang'an, noon.

It's nearly May, and spring is blooming.

Liu Qing sat in his own mansion, looking out the window at the courtyard of the inner house, where the lakeside was lush with grass and trees, and the fragrance was blowing in the wind.

There has been no news of her husband for ten months.

After the battle that day, Liu Qing returned home and waited for a few days before realizing that Huo Quai's injuries might be much more serious than he thought.

At this time, Huo Qubing left the front line for ten months, and he didn't show up, and he didn't know what happened.

Liu Qing's worries are growing day by day.

"The champion king came into being, his luck is in harmony with the world, and he will be fine with the fortune of the country."

Qin Qingyu came to the mansion ten months ago, dressed in a simple robe, stood aside, and said to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing nodded slightly, but did not say a word.

Qin Qingyu sighed lightly and turned around.

Liu Qing sat by the window for a while, and then came out of the dormitory, skirted up, came to the small lake, and looked down at the silhouette in the water.

Suddenly, a bird flew down from the sky to the shore of the lake, holding a wooden tablet made of local materials with a long beak in its mouth.

The simple book fell into Liu Qing's hand, and there was a line of handwriting written on it: "Qing'er, I'll go home later and warm up the quilt." ”

Liu Qing was stunned, and his face was instantly full of joy.

Without asking, he knew that it was Huo Qu's sick bird who sent people's words, and controlled the bird to come back to send a message and ridicule himself.

"I'm in the palace and I'm talking to Your Majesty about something."

Huo Quai's illness turned to using concentric lotus leaves to convey the news to his wife and concubine.

"Someone."

Liu Qing lifted his skirt and trotted back to the dormitory, looking overjoyed, beckoning the attendants to come over, and preparing with various instructions.

The entire palace suddenly entered a busy state.

The cooks are frying and frying, delicacies from the mountains and seas, flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, all kinds of ingredients, and they are in full swing.

Soon after, the big cat, the fat tiger, took the bronze beast to ward off evil spirits, and the first to return to the house.

Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty."

"Champion King!"

When Huo Qubing walked into the study, most of the emperor, Jiuqing-level ministers, were present.

Li Cai, Zhang Tang, Dong Zhongshu who came back from the Western Front.

Huo Guang also sat behind Dong Zhongshu with a blank look. After more than a year of exercise, he has become more and more mature, with a slight stubble growing at the corners of his mouth and a focused expression.

There are also upstarts such as Sang Hongyang, all of which are listed.

When everyone saw Huo Quai, they all showed reverence and stood up to salute.

Huo Quai's martial arts today have reached an unattainable height, beyond the scope of the court's battles, so he can win the respect of almost everyone.

Including some civil servants who were originally not on good terms with him, their attitudes have also changed greatly.

It's like having a rooster, no matter how strong and tall it is, there are always other roosters who don't accept it and dare to fight with it.

But if the rooster becomes an ostrich, all the chickens will be confused.

Because it's not an order of magnitude at all, I can't afford to fight at all.

Huo Qubing has now grown to the level of an ostrich, and no chickens will rise up to fight him.

Everyone greeted each other and took their seats.

Before Huo Qu's illness came, the emperor summoned his ministers over to discuss state affairs.

Although there is a war going on the eastern and western fronts, the affairs of the DPRK are still progressing in an orderly manner.

At present, the Han Dynasty is divided into ninety-nine state capitals, and there are countless daily events.

Agricultural, military, civil, commercial, etc.

At present, the number of ministers in the court alone has more than doubled compared to four years ago.

Under the Xiangguo, two auxiliary ministers were set up to help Director Li Cai.

The rest of the ministries and subordinate offices also increased the number of officials accordingly.

At present, the Han Dynasty issued a decree of tui'en, and formulated the law of zuoguan and the law of collateral benefits, strictly prohibiting princes and clans from participating in politics. Promote talented people in an eclectic way. and set up a Department of Assassination History to strengthen control over local state capitals.

The emperor also actively reformed the currency system, forbade local coinage, and implemented the system of salt and iron official camps, and equalization of losses.

Taxes were imposed on merchants; At the same time, the establishment of the inspection system, so that all parts of the filial piety and talent, virtuous and square, in addition to the Taixue in Chang'an, in the county towns to establish a school palace, the implementation of education.

And repeatedly expanded the army and recruited troops, and the Han Dynasty has 1.6 million strong divisions.

There are more than 300,000 elites in a hundred battles.

There are also 400,000 reservists, ready to fill the vacancies of the war.

The total number of standing troops reached 2 million to cope with the onslaught of the Spanish.

At this time, the Han Dynasty was at its peak in civil and military affairs.

The changes over the years, before and after, defeated and exterminated the Xiongnu, conquered Minyue, Donou, Nanyue, Weishi Goryeo, operated the southwest Yi, and annexed more than 30 countries in the Western Regions.

To the east to destroy the Yamato, to the west to sweep the Otsuki clan, Pati pressure and other powerful countries, to advance to the Mediterranean.

Zhang Qian is currently sending envoys year after year to survey various places and communicate the connection between the Han center and the locality.

At this time, the Han Dynasty, the martial arts of civil governance, gradually reached the peak of a thousand years.

If it were not for the war, according to the plan, the emperor would prepare for the next canonization in order to push the fortunes of the country up again.

After Huo Qu's illness arrived, everyone's conversation turned to the war on the Eastern Front.

Some civil and military people are worried that the Western people have landed in Han land along the gap between Shanggu County and Yuyang County and entered the territory of the former Xiongnu.

Huo Qubing deliberately left a gap along the way to lure the enemy into the depths, and he only reported it to the emperor.

In addition, only when he was on the Western Front, he talked with Wei Qing and the shadow about military affairs, and Dong Zhongshu listened to it on the spot.

This is the most important military secret of the Han Dynasty, and no one knows about it.

And the strategy itself is quite obscure, and the victory or defeat is in a thought, even if you are proficient in military affairs, it is difficult to see that it is a plan, so there are not a few people who are worried.

When the ministers saw Huo Quai, they were like seeing a savior, and their eyes were earnest, hoping that he could come back and turn the tide.

However, Huo Quzhi did not show his mouth at all, and only said that he would stay in Chang'an for a while, and he would return to the front line to command the troops.

The ministers looked at each other and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

When the small court meeting was dispersed, the ministers left the study.

Taichang Zhou Ping was worried, and gathered to discuss: "I thought that the champion king came back, and there was a plan for the crown, but I didn't think of it and didn't have a high opinion." ”

"The strength of the Naxi tribe is surging like an ant colony out of the nest, and the last time it attacked the eastern front, it damaged 100,000 of my Han elites in a battle!"

"There has never been such a strong enemy."

Dazai Liu Linfeng was born in the clan, his face was thin, and his face was deep and worried: "If the last confrontation is repeated, my Han will lose 100,000 elites again, and I am afraid that there will be a risk of the collapse of the battle front." ”

The young prince Zhuang Qingzhai is a person who has been passed down to future generations, after the founding of the country.

His face was white and beardless, and he was also in the queue scattered by a group of civil servants, and echoed: "Listening to the meaning of the champion king's words, he is also suffering from not having a way to break the enemy.

In the study just now, I asked for it repeatedly, but the champion only said that he would return to the front line later and see the enemy's situation. ”

"Alas! My Han seems to be strong now, but in fact, a crisis may break out at any time, and the reversal of strength and weakness is imminent.

It's terrifying, and I'm going to visit the champion later and tell him the stakes. ”

Zhou Ping said: "I'll go with you, I'm just afraid that the champion king will win too many battles, and if he has the mind of underestimating the enemy, he should really go to him." The current situation is at stake, and if the enemy cannot be broken, the country will not be able to defeat the country. ”

Huo Quai's illness was in the study with the emperor, and Dong Zhongshu had a secret discussion.

When the two learned that he had recovered from his injuries, they were both overjoyed.

By the time he returned to his mansion, it was already afternoon.

A cadre of civil servants and military generals really gathered in the palace to analyze the current situation.

Huo Quzhi and the emperor had already discussed the follow-up response, and the means could not be leaked, and some things would not work if they were said.

The ministers discussed the situation in the mansion, and their mouths were foaming, seeing that Huo Qu was ill and disapproving, he couldn't help but feel more and more worried when he left, as if he had seen the tragic scene of the Han defense line being broken.

"How is this good, the champion king really has a contemptuous heart, and he doesn't care at all what I say."

After Zhuang Qingzhai left the house, he lamented: "Seeing that the military disaster is imminent, do you have to eat a big rout before you know how to pay attention to it." ”

……

After the ministers went, the royal family feasted.

Wife and concubine, Qin Qingyu, Luo Shina, Dong Zhongshu, Huo Guang and other close people gathered in the house.

When everyone dispersed, the night began to fall, and it was the turn of the husband and wife to reunite.

When Huo Qu returned to the dormitory, Liu Qing had already bathed and changed clothes, changed into a silk brocade skirt, and sat by the window.

The moonlight shines in, the people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists.

Couples get together and whisper.

The scenery is beautiful.

Huo Quzhi's breakthrough this time, he got the power of the dragon ball into his body, and the power in his body was uncontrollable, and he first let his wife and concubine experience the strength after the breakthrough, which was completely at the level of an ostrich, not an order of magnitude.

Liu Qing, Bai Nanyu, and Zhuo Qingke fell asleep one after another.

Huo Quai, but he came to his son Huo Yan's room alone in clothes.

In the night, Huo Yan slept soundly, more than two years old in a blink of an eye, with a chubby face.

Huo Quzhi was a little worried that his son would grow into a little fat man in the future.

He looked at it for a moment, and under the insight of watching the fire from the other side, he saw that there was a wisp of black gas in Huo Huan's eyebrows, which was extremely hidden.

If it weren't for the best policy to watch the fire from the other side, there would be no insight at all.

Finally, the power penetrated into his side...... Huo Qu came back from illness, and the first time he saw his son, he noticed that something was wrong.

Who did this to you?

He didn't help his son take out the black qi in his eyebrows, otherwise the other party would immediately have a sense.

This breath is in a dormant state, not yet activated, and is harmless to the body. Let it linger in my son's body for a while...... Huo Quai's detective stroked his fat son's face.

He went to his study and thought about what he was going to do next.

The battle with the Western tribe, handed down from the hands of Emperor Qin, has been a game that has lasted for a hundred years.

At the moment when Huo Quzhi officially killed the empress, the situation entered a new turning point.

He thought about what he was going to do next several times, then he put away his mind and began to practice.

Under the effect of watching the fire from the other side, Huo Quzhi once again saw through the appearance of heaven and earth, from the 'surface' to the 'inside', trying to get closer to the true origin.

When he tried to penetrate into the real world, something wonderful happened.

It was as if he was traveling in time and space, going against the current to the source point, to the core of the birth of heaven and earth.

As a soldier, when he took the first step, he saw the chaos in the world at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and the wars that broke out.

In all the wars, he saw the most dazzling person, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, a monument to the soldiers.

He commanded a number of famous wars that were passed down to future generations, the Battle of Jingcheng, the Battle of Backwater, the Battle of Weishui, the flooding of the Qi and Chu coalition forces, and the beheading of the Chu generals Long; In the battle of Qixia, the Fifth Army of Bu lured the enemy, broke Xiang Yu's army, and finally forced Xiang Yu to kill himself in Wujiang.

What Huo Quzhi saw and heard at this time was different from any previous time.

He is like a spectator, perceiving the secrets of war, and he seems to be immersed in the scene, in great detail.

He stretched out his hand and obtained the imprint of heaven and earth from one war after another, extracted the breath of the soldier, and absorbed the imprint of the soldier left on the battlefield.

Huo Quzhi continued to move forward, and the world in front of him changed again.

He had come to a point closer to his origins, and he was still at war.

It was a war in which Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms and Dingding the Central Plains.

He saw the bright stars, the Great Qin generals Wang Qian, Meng Tian, and the Zhao generals Li Mu and Lian Po who appeared when the Six Kingdoms were destroyed.

The four famous generals of the Warring States.

One step further, time reversed, the countries attacked each other during the Warring States Period, and the killing god of Qin rose in the sky, shining for thousands of years, and the soldiers were invincible.

Huo Qubing took the fourth step, and the scene in front of him flew by, and what he saw was Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wu Qi and other military masters, and the sages of the past dynasties.

It was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a period when a hundred schools of thought were contending, and countless ideas were colliding!

Huo Quzhi could only go to the spring and autumn period.

This is the limit of his current practice.

He repeatedly looked at these legendary soldiers who went back hundreds of years, substituted their thinking and perspective, to understand the true meaning of soldiers, and to experience the concept of using soldiers, so as to promote his own cultivation.

Guiguzi said before that Sun Wu relied on watching the fire from the other side to gain insight into the true meaning of the wars in history, so as to comprehend the realm of soldiers and become holy.

Huo Qu's illness watched the fire from the other side, and he was carrying out the same experience and gaining insight into the true meaning of war.

When he stopped pushing to watch the fire from the other side, he began to practice instead.

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth were boiling, and a magnificent military array loomed on the top of the night sky, intertwined with the stars.

It's dawn.

Huo Qu's illness accepted the practice, but he suddenly sensed it and took out the concentric lotus leaves.
