When the explosives were blasted out, a terrifying wave of air came from the ten flying thunder cannons.

Time.

It feels like flying sand and rocks.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stood up straight, not being swept away by this wave of anger, but he couldn't care about the beauties around him.

Tiny flying sand dust slapped on the face!

Pain is a small thing, the key is that people can't open their eyes.

At this time!

Mrs. Li on the side suffered a disaster.

She was delicate, the waves of air hit, and she staggered when she blew, and she finally stood firm, but she still had time to speak.

The roar of thunder sounded like it was exploding in her ears, making her deaf for a while.

But that's not the main thing.

The main thing is that after the thunder stopped, the second wave of qi generated by the explosion was even more ferocious than before, directly knocking Mrs. Li to the ground, no longer having the noble aura before.

When this wave of qi passed and the dust dissipated, Emperor Wu of Han watched the beauty beside him being blown to the ground, and immediately pulled her up and said, "Why is Ai Ji lying on the ground?" ”

For the question of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Mrs. Li's ears were roaring, and she couldn't hear what Emperor Wu of Han said, and after being pulled up by Emperor Wu of Han, she immediately shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, there was thunder during the day just now, and the sound was so loud that the ears of the concubines couldn't hear it, I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not suffer from temporary deafness, and when he heard Mrs. Li's words, he immediately said: "What kind of thunder, the sound just now is the power of this flying thunder cannon, it's really big!" ”

"Hahaha."

"Huo Guang, this kid, didn't deceive me, he can always get some new tricks for me!"

As a generation of heroes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not only not frightened by the explosion just now.

On the contrary, because of the power of the flying thunder cannon, I was excited.

Mrs. Li on the side saw that His Majesty was smiling happily, and her mouth kept talking, but she couldn't hear what she said, and she was a little impatient in her heart, so she said loudly: "Your Majesty, what do you say, the concubine can't hear it!" ”

The originally beautiful Mrs. Li, after the wind and sand blown by the air waves, suddenly had a little unkempt feeling.

Now.

Emperor Wu of Han saw that she couldn't hear herself, so he ordered Yulin Jun to take Madame Li down to the medical worker to ask what was going on.

And Liu Che himself stayed to check the flying thunder cannon.

The palm of his hand lightly touched the body of the flying thunder cannon, and there was still residual heat after the cannon was fired.

Thankfully, only one shot was fired at each cannon.

Otherwise, if you touch the barrel with your hand at this moment, I am afraid that it will burn and blister.

"Good thing, come here, pass my order, let the infantry and the people, quickly transport these ten flying thunder cannons to the front line, and be sure to arrive before the general Wei Qing finds the Hun cavalry, without delay!" Emperor Wu of Han directly ordered.

When the soldiers of the Yulin Army heard His Majesty's order, they immediately did as they were told.

Soon.

The ten thunderbolts were transported.

Looking at the traces of the bombardment of the flying thunder cannon, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was full of praise for its power.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said to the guard Jin Riyan who was following him: "You go to Taishi Ling Sima Tan's house and tell him how about going to the stargazing platform to see the stars tonight!" ”

Jin Riyan, the predecessor of the Xiongnu prince, immediately said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "No." ”

After an answer.

Jin Riyan went to talk to Taishi Ling Sima.

At night, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was on the stargazing platform, waiting for Taishi to make Sima talk about the results of observing the sky at night.

As for who this Sima is talking about?

He is the father of Sima Qian, with profound knowledge, known as "learning from the heavenly official in the Tang capital, easy to Yang He, learning Taoism in Huangzi", his talent and learning, far above his son Sima Qian.

But why didn't Sima Qian become famous?

Because Sima Qian wrote the "Historical Records" of "The Swan Song of the Historian, the Rhymeless Separation"!

But the reason for Sima Qian's writing "Historical Records" was only to inherit his father's last wish.

Sima talks about the relationship with "Historical Records" just like Gao He talks about "Dream of Red Mansions". The world only knows that "Dream of Red Mansions" is from the hands of Cao Xueqin, but they don't know that the last forty times are continued by Gao E.

But unlike Gao E.

Gao He continued to write Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions, while Sima Tan first wrote The Records of the Historians, which was later completed by his son Sima Qian.

At this moment, Sima Tan sat on the stargazing platform and looked up at the starry sky.

In a flash.

He suddenly rejoiced and said, "Your Majesty, the elephant of great luck, the elephant of great luck." ”

"Look!"

"Among the five stars in the sky, accumulated in the east, China is profitable; Accumulating in the West, foreign users benefit. The five stars are gathered in one house from the stars, and the country of their houses can be lawed to the world. ”

The five stars are the so-called Taibai, Suixing, Chenxing, Yingfu, and Zhenxing in the pre-Qin period.

Don't understand?

Then it is often said that Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn.

And Sima Tan said what he said.

In fact, it is very similar to a sentence passed down by word of mouth in later generations, called "Five stars out of the East to benefit China"!

But this sentence is incomplete.

The complete yes!

Five stars out of the East to benefit China to seek Nanqiang, four Yi subdued, single to fall, and the sky is endless!

It is not appropriate to use it in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because it is a technique made by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to improve the morale of the army.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was Sima Tan who said what he just said.

And!

That sentence was also recorded by Sima Qian in the book "Historical Records".

So there is no doubt about the provenance.

As for the word "China", it is not our current understanding in a broad sense, but refers to the country of the Central Plains, that is, the current Han Dynasty!

At this time.

Listening to Sima's great words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was immediately excited.

Although he couldn't understand the celestial phenomena, he thought of the power of the flying thunder cannon today, so he believed what Sima Tan said.

Thereupon.

I couldn't help but sigh: "The five stars gathered in one house represent that it is the will of heaven for me to send troops to attack Hungary, and I will win!" ”

"Providence cannot be violated."

"Hahaha!"

On the Mobei Wasteland, the army led by Wei Qing is advancing with difficulty.

This battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns was planned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for a long time.

As a general, Wei Qing naturally knew that he must not make a mistake in this battle, nor can he return in vain.

It's just that.

Since coming to the desert north of the land where the Huns lived.

The group did not see the shadow of the Huns at all, not even the herdsmen, let alone the Hun cavalry.

No way.

At this time, the Han Dynasty sent troops vigorously, if only 100,000 cavalry were divided into two teams.

The Huns may not be afraid yet.

The most important thing is.

Behind the 100,000 cavalry, there were more than 100,000 infantry and countless civilians who helped transport supplies.

In this endless grassland.

Naturally, the infantry is no match for the cavalry.

But there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the infantry is also a non-negligible existence, especially the infantry of the Han Dynasty.

Put it in any period.

When the infantry meets the cavalry, it is a one-sided slaughter.

But the infantry of the Han Dynasty was different.

The infantry of the Han Dynasty was able to fight hard with the powerful Hun cavalry.

The cavalry of the Huns simply did not know how to cooperate and could not tactics. Only the elite cavalry led by Wei Qing couldn't beat it, plus more than 100,000 infantry and civilians were followed behind.

It's strange that you don't run far away!

On the way, Huo Guang rode forward with General Da.

I don't know if it's out of boredom or to pass the time. On the way to ride, General Wei Qing suddenly asked, "Captain Huo, what do you think about General Ben taking Li Guangzhi away?" ”

Huo Guang didn't want to mention it.

Seeing that Wei Qing asked.

Huo Guang said: "With my understanding of the general, I shouldn't do this. So dare to guess, this should be His Majesty's order, out of consideration for the old General Li Guang, afraid that he will make a mistake? ”

Wei Qing glanced at Huo Guang, then nodded and said, "You are smart, but this is only one of them, there are two other reasons to consider!" ”

Huo Guang tilted his head slightly and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Wei Qing said: "One is that, as you said, General Li Guang is very old, and this war against the Huns is very important, and there is no room for error. ”

"Second, the old general has gone through three dynasties and shed a lot of blood to fight against the Huns, and His Majesty does not want to see the old general die under the sword of the Huns."

"Third, our army traveled to Mobei after a long journey, and the soldiers were exhausted. The Huns' cavalry waited for work, and if they ambushed our army in front, the situation would be very passive. At this time, if the old general can make a detour from the flank, it will be more useful than him becoming a striker general! ”

After listening to the three reasons that the general said, Huo Guang's heart moved slightly.

The first two reasons?

I'm afraid it's not the meaning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and one of the reasons behind it is estimated that it is the general's idea.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said that he was caring for General Li Guang, but in fact it was not.

In the early years, Li Guang was on the wrong side, did His Majesty really forget about it?

Not really!

Otherwise, even the three brothers of the Wei family can be infant, and His Majesty wants to give Li Guang a marquis, isn't that a matter of words?

Although the Han Dynasty said that it was a marquis with military merits, this was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was a marquis, but he could make an exception for civil servants who had no military merits.

Not to mention Li Guang!

The army drove straight forward in Mobei for two days and two nights, and it was already possible to see many cattle and sheep carcasses that had been thrown into the Huns by the Huns in this stream.

See these.

Huo Guang hurriedly said to Wei Qing: "General, you see, there are already Huns in the stream here who have thrown the cattle and sheep with the plague into the stream, fortunately, the soldiers did not drink the stream on the road before, otherwise I am afraid that they will get sick!" ”

Wei Qing nodded, then dismounted and walked to the edge of the stream to watch.

The rotting corpse, with a foul stench, wafted through the air.

Let's be honest.

If it weren't for the general's past, Huo Guang didn't want to get closer, he just wanted to stay away from it.

But Wei Qing beckoned to Huo Guang at this time and said, "Captain Huo, come over for a moment." ”

"No!"

Huo Guang could only pinch his nose and walk over at this moment.

Wait until you get closer.

Huo Guang asked, "Did the general find something?" ”

"It's a discovery!" After Wei Qing nodded, he used the branch he picked up to provoke the corpse of the cow and sheep, and said, "Look at this dead sheep, the degree of decay is not serious, which means that it was deliberately put here by the Huns a few days ago!" ”

Hearing Wei Qing's words, Huo Guang frowned and asked, "What the general means is that if we walk forward for a few more days, is it possible to encounter these Hun cavalry?" ”

The general shook his head and said: "The armies on both sides are advancing, the Hun cavalry only cares about fleeing, and our Han army does not know the direction, I am afraid that it will not meet in a few days." ”

"I'm afraid of just in case, in the case of a tiring journey."

"The Huns deliberately set up an ambush in front, if our army does not know about it and plunges into the ambush of the Huns, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses!"

Regarding the general's words, Huo Guang also nodded in agreement.

Soldiers, treacherous!

Although the Huns were not as good as the Han Chinese, the other party was not a fool, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not deliberately set up an ambush in front.

Marching to fight.

It's not child's play.

If you are not vigilant, I am afraid that the boat will really capsize in the gutter.

Huo Guang thought for a while and said: "What the general said is very true, but his subordinates are only shallow in learning, I don't know how to deal with this situation, and I hope the general's instructions?" ”

Wei Qing said calmly: "In this case, there is no good way to deal with it, the army still has to continue to advance, and can only increase the number of soldiers in front of the horse, and at the same time, slightly reduce the speed of the march!" ”

Huo Guang nodded and said, "Got it, General, I'll go and order someone to do it." ”

"Hmm."

Wei Qing nodded and snorted.

After seeing the general Wei Qing's consent.

Huo Guang didn't say a word, and fled here quickly.

The stench of decomposing corpses was so terrible. Smoked by the smell, Huo Guang felt that his brain was about to stop thinking.

I don't know how Uncle Wei Qing turned a blind eye and stayed there to study the problem normally.

After adjusting his armor, Huo Guang turned on his horse again and said to the marching soldiers: "The general has an order, slow down the march, increase the number of spies, and go to the front to explore intelligence!" ”

"Transmit my words one by one."

"Don't make a mistake."

“.”

As a result, the marching speed of the Guards and Youth Corps slowed down again.

And in the two days of this slowdown.

The rear was used to ensure the supply of materials to the infantry and the ranks of the people, and a batch of good things was rushed up.

It stands to reason.

After this batch of materials comes up, the general Wei Qing should be notified first.

But this batch of infantry transporting goods informed Huo Guang of their matter first, and said: "Captain Huo, this is the goods that Your Majesty hastened to transport from Chang'an, and countless horses have been paralyzed for this reason, and they are finally delivered to you today!" ”

Huo Guang frowned and asked, "Why did you notify me first, not the Great General?" ”

The man hurriedly scratched his head, and didn't know how to reply, so he said, "The above only said that it would be handed over to you, not to the general!" ”

Huo Guang didn't know what was in the wooden box at this time, and when he heard this, he had to frown and say, "Then what is contained here?" Food or weapons? Or armor? Open it up and show me! ”

"No."

The infantry is only responsible for following the arrangements from above, and naturally they do not know what is inside.

After hearing Huo Guang's words.

He opened the wooden box, and when he saw it, it was full of iron lumps, all tied to a short wooden stick.

Where had the person in charge of transportation seen this, and immediately asked, "Look, these are all these things, and I don't know what they are for." ”

And yet at the moment.

Huo Guang's eyes had burst out with a fine light.

No one else knows this thing!

But surely he knows.

This is similar to a grenade made in the border area, which is very primitive and simple, and its design was originally handed over to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Now!

Finally, it was made and shipped.
