The carriage galloped on the official road, bumpy all the way, and Huo Guang held the letter in his hand for a long time.

The old man carved zero, but it was only like a leaf in the wind.

At most, it is sad for a while.

But Lin Yaoqing's death, the course of the incident, is obviously unusual.

A mere Dawan country, even if the whole country is a pawn, should not be the opponent of the Han army. With Lin Yaoqing's ability, he never had to worry about his life in the bloody battle with the Huns, but he fell into the gutter in this small Dawan country.

This is not normal!

Huo Guang closed his eyes, thinking about the possibilities on the battlefield.

But.

Now is not the time for wild suspicion.

The carriage galloped all the way, and when it arrived at Dunhuang County, suddenly a team of guards came to report: "Report, the general of the chariot cavalry, the imperial court has an order, and 6,000 evil boys from the four counties of Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County will be deployed, and more than 4,000 prisoners will be pardoned to join the army, a total of 10,000 people, and will be deployed to the general to conquer Dawan." ”

Hear the words of the guards.

Huo Guang suddenly opened his eyes.

It was a good thing that the imperial court suddenly deployed troops for him.

But.

The army formed by those evil boys and prisoners, Huo Guang really didn't dare to compliment its combat effectiveness!

Whether it is the ancient dynasty of feudalism and decay, or the modern era of scientific advanced thought.

Once a war breaks out between countries!

This kind of emergency conscription always happens, and it is not uncommon for prisoners to be released from prison to join the army.

But these people have a very obvious characteristic.

That is, on the battlefield, it is the existence of cannon fodder.

Li Guangli, as the chief general of the Han army on the expedition to Dawan, may be a straw bag general, but those soldiers under his command still have some ability.

One general is incompetent, dragging down the three armies.

To trigger this condition, the first element is that the enemy cannot be weak.

According to Huo Guang's collection of information about the Dawan Kingdom, he knew that Li Guangli's troops failed because he encountered the army led by King Yu Chengcheng of Yu Chengcheng after conquering Ershi City.

And King Yu Cheng, according to modern words, is a hawkish aristocrat within the Dawan Kingdom.

It was also he who strongly advocated against the Han army.

Judging from the information gathered, this King Yu Cheng is a very powerful opponent. At the beginning, the Han Dynasty was invaded by the Huns every year, and the Dawan Kingdom was so weak, but it repeatedly survived in the gap between the Dayue clan and the Xiongnu.

This has a lot to do with King Yu Cheng.

Who were the Huns?

That is, if you are strong, he will run, and if you are weak, he will eat you to death.

Dawan can stand under the authority of the Hun cavalry for many years and has not been violated by it, which is enough to show that this King Yu Cheng is by no means like Li Guangli.

Not to mention.

This guy still has 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, and at this moment, the imperial court is just deploying 10,000 cannon fodder to Huo Guang, so what's the use of letting them go to the battlefield?

Thereupon.

Huo Guang, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't think much about it, and said directly: "I know, don't worry about him, let's continue to rush to Ershi City as fast as possible." ”

"Huh?"

When the guards heard Huo Guang's order, they were directly stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "General Che Cai, but the 10,000 soldiers mobilized by the imperial court have not yet been gathered, don't you wait?" ”

Hear this.

Huo Guang snorted lightly and said, "What are you waiting for, wait until the army of the Great Wan Kingdom comes?" ”

"Dawan is just a small land."

"The rumored sweat and blood BMW, no matter how good it is, it will not make a big move for Your Majesty."

"This campaign is for the sake of the face of the Son of Heaven."

"The king of Dawan killed the envoys of the Han court, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the court. Dawan is a small country, Li Guangli's defeat has made His Majesty extremely angry, if they really let them fight to the border of the Han Dynasty, even if we mobilize 10,000 people and win here, it will be a loss. ”

"Winning or losing is small, but the face of the Han Dynasty is big."

"If you can't even govern the Great Wan Kingdom, then how can the countries of the Western Regions be willing to surrender to my Han in the future?"

After a while, the guards didn't say anything.

And the carriage that Huo Guang was riding directly went out of Dunhuang County and headed for the countries of the Western Regions.

As for the 10,000 soldiers and horses recruited by the imperial court, Huo Guang couldn't look down on them.

Why?

Because among the 6,000 prisoners, a large number of them were sent in by him when he personally put down the rebellion in the northwest. The combat power itself is stretched, and when the time comes to enter the battlefield, it can't be said to have a counterproductive effect.

As for the evil boys?

It's also very simple.

Most of them were local teenagers with bad conduct who were arrested and brought in to join the army.

Confucianism can't educate them, so send them to the army to be cannon fodder.

From Dunhuang to Ershi City, it will take a lot of time, and it will pass through the entire "Western Regions Protectorate" that has not yet been naturalized by the Han Dynasty.

The person in charge of power here is King Wusun Kunmo.

At present, King Wusun Kunmo has asked the Han to marry, and the relationship is currently developing in a very good direction, so Huo Guang and his party have not encountered any trouble through this area.

The only trouble.

It's just that the road is bumpy, and the carriage can't pass.

After all, the official road of the Han Dynasty has not yet been cultivated here!

A few days later.

After passing through this area, Huo Guang led Zhao Daniu to finally arrive at Second Division City. At this time, the Second Division City was garrisoned by the remnants of Li Guangli's leadership, and the elite soldiers of the original Nanda Battalion were strong, and there were not many left, and the morale was very low.

Huo Guang walked into the gatehouse of Ershi City, and his heart was very strange.

The remnants of Li Guangli were cowering in the city, and there were only more than 4,000 people left, why didn't King Yu Cheng lead his subordinates to attack?

Because Huo Guang was followed by Zhao Daniu.

The tall body of Zhao Daniu immediately attracted the soldiers of Li Guangli's remnants.

Thereinto.

There is no shortage of generals from the Nanda Battalion, and they recognized Huo Guang at once.

"General Che Cai, it's General Che Cai who is here!"

I don't know who shouted, the soldiers surrounded one after another, talking to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang comforted these soldiers who had suffered defeat and were in a depressed mood as usual, and then asked, "Where is General Li Guangli?" Go and call him to me! ”

The words fell.

Someone immediately went to inform General Li Guangli.

A moment later.

Li Guangli put on his military uniform and ran towards Huo Guang and said, "Is it the general of the chariot?" Are you here to inform Your Majesty that my class teacher is allowed to return to the court? ”

On the day Huo Guang received His Majesty's appointment, he rushed to this side non-stop.

Even the imperial court ignored the matter of recruiting soldiers for him in the four counties of Liangzhou, and rushed to it directly.

So.

Li Guangli didn't know the news from the imperial court.

Huo Guang walked to Li Guangli's side, and wanted to talk about it directly, but suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, so he moved his nose again to smell it, and found that it was the fragrance of rouge.

Thereupon!

He snorted lightly and said, "General Li, you are so happy in the Second Division City, right?" ”

"Nothing, nothing!" Li Guangli's face was slightly embarrassed, and then he said: "In a foreign country, it is not easy to lead troops to fight, and I am very mentally exhausted. The camp prostitutes can relieve the fatigue, so that General Ben has the willpower to endure until now. ”

Camp prostitutes, there is this thing in the Han army.

But.

It was not recognized by the imperial court, and it belonged to being stolen.

But a master will take this thing?

Huo Guang hasn't heard of it yet!

Li Guangli didn't explain, but when he explained, he was very angry.

I saw Huo Guang glaring at Li Guangli and said, "Relieve fatigue? Hmph, I think you should think about it, after this battle is over, can you still keep this head! ”

Heard Huo Guangyi say.

Li Guangli couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

But then it seemed that something came to mind, and he asked, "Since you say that, then I want to know, why are you here?" ”

Huo Guang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and then he glanced at Zhao Daniu behind him.

Thereupon.

Zhao Daniu took out the edict of the imperial court.

Li Guangli took a look, and only then did he learn that Huo Guang had taken over his position as the current general.

In a flash.

His surprised face changed a little flattery, and said: "Since the imperial court appointed General Che Cai to replace General Ben and become the chief general of this expedition to Dawan Kingdom, then General Ben will retire to the deputy general!" ”

"Adjutant general?" Huo Guang sneered and said, "Don't think about it, the deputy will let me be the big cow, and as for you coming, tie me up!" ”

The words fell.

The soldiers in the southern battalion who were not convinced by him in the first place all stepped forward to arrest him.

But this guy also has cronies, so he immediately protected him and confronted him.

Li Guangli was shocked at this time and said: "Huo Guang, this edict didn't say that you should arrest me, don't forget, Your Majesty's Mrs. Li is the sister of this general!" ”

The words fell.

He glared at the soldiers of the Nanda Battalion who came forward to surround him, and said, "You dog-like things, who dares to touch me, General Ben?" ”

on this.

Huo Guang smiled coldly and waved his hand to Zhao Daniu behind him.

Got Huo Guang's instructions.

Zhao Daniu, who had been driven out of the Nanda camp by Li Guangli because of a conflict with Li Guangli, immediately stepped forward.

Seeing that Li Guangli's cronies wanted to stop him, Zhao Daniu slapped one by one and directly knocked him to the ground.

After the first few people were beaten down.

The cronies in the back also flinched.

Looked at.

Zhao Daniu didn't care about those cronies and guards, and stepped forward directly and grabbed Li Guangli.

Li Guangli, who was captured, continued to shout, saying: "Huo Guang, you can't tie me up, you have to take me down, King Yu Cheng's 30,000 army will immediately go to Ershi City and slaughter us!" ”

Slaughtered?

Huo Guang smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, you have been defeated and Yu Chengcheng, how can you still have the face to brag about yourself like this?" ”

"Or is it?"

"You straw bag general, do you think this marquis is on the throne, not as good as you?"

"Huh."

The words fell.

Huo Guang gave Zhao Daniu a look, and Zhao Daniu dragged him down.

And on the way to drag, Li Guangli hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Huo Guang. General Chevalier, I didn't mean that. ”

"Don't you want to know."

"Li led his troops in Ershi City for so many days, why didn't King Yu Cheng attack the city?"

"It's not even meant to besiege the city."

Hearing Li Guangli's words, Huo Guang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Guangli said.

It was also the strange place for him, since he entered the city, Huo Guang had not seen King Yu Cheng's soldiers, besieging Ershi City.

Even if King Yu Cheng doesn't have a siege weapon.

He led more than 30,000 people to surround the city of the Second Division, and the water could not be drained, and they had to starve to death.

Ancient Wars.

There are many, many cases of siege.

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Guang stopped Zhao Daniu and said, "Tell me, why?" ”

However, Li Guangli motioned to Zhao Daniu and said, "General Che Cavalry wants to know the answer, and he still doesn't let this guy let go of General Ben?" ”

Huo Guang ignored him lightly, waved his hand lightly, and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." ”

Hear the words.

Li Guangli immediately said quickly: "I said, I said, that's the case. ”

"On that day, King Yu Cheng had actually chased to Ershi City with 30,000 soldiers and horses, but he didn't have siege weapons."

"Coincidentally."

"There is a pro-Han nobleman in Dawan Kingdom, named Yu Cai. This man's proposition was peace talks, and he persuaded King Yu Cheng that as long as I stopped asking them for horses in the future, and compensated them for the losses caused by this war. ”

Hearing Li Guangli's words, Huo Guang suddenly looked at each other angrily and said, "What, compensation?" Dawan did not kill the envoys of my Han Dynasty, and he was responsible for the crime, so the court should settle accounts with them! ”

"Big Bull!"

"Drag down this traitor who collaborated with the enemy, and take fifty military sticks seriously, and then escort him back to Chang'an, and His Majesty will punish him!"

When Da Niu heard this, he immediately said, "No." ”

And Li Guangli heard that Huo Guang was going to reprimand him fifty military sticks, and immediately said: "The general did not cooperate with the enemy, let alone agree to any requests from the Dawan Kingdom, I just delayed and waited for the imperial court to send reinforcements." ”

"Huo Guang, you can't mess around!"

"King Yu Cheng has 30,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, you didn't bring reinforcements this time, and now there are only less than 4,000 remnants in the city, and you are not King Yu Cheng's opponent at all!"

Huo Guang didn't continue to pay attention to Li Guangli, and directly let the big bull drag Li Guangli down.

Moreover.

In front of all the soldiers and soldiers, he was punished with 50 military sticks, and Li Guangli was immediately beaten to death.

Afterwards.

Huo Guang asked people to count the remaining soldiers in the Second Division City and investigate the reason for Lin Yaoqing's death.

As expected.

Lin Yaoqing's death is not unrelated to Li Guangli!

It was a rainy day.

Li Guangli ordered the captain Lin Yaoqing to lead his subordinates to carry firearms and attack Yu Chengcheng.

Even though Lin Yaoqing explained to Li Guangli that firearms could not be used in rainy days, Li Guangli did not listen to them at all, immersed in the joy of winning the reputation of "General of the Second Division", and his mentality was extremely arrogant.

He thinks.

Even if there is no benefit from firearms, with the elite of the Han Dynasty, coupled with his rainy day surprise attack, it is enough to destroy King Yu Cheng.

But he didn't think about it.

The most powerful army of the Great Wan Kingdom was the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by King Yu Cheng. The other party not only guarded against the Han people's surprise attack on Yucheng City on rainy days, but even set up an ambush outside the city.

The firearms of the Han army were not only unusable on rainy days, but also extremely bulky.

This original siege weapon has become a burden.

Tens of thousands of Han soldiers were killed by King Yu Cheng and abandoned their armor and fled in embarrassment. And Lin Yaoqing, in order to cut off the pursuit of King Yu Cheng's 30,000 elite soldiers, led his troops to stay behind, so that the Han army could have 4,000 people escape alive and not be wiped out.

And Lin Yaoqing fell into the encirclement of Yu Chengwang's department.

Die in the Sand City!

It is said that it was King Yu Cheng who personally cut off Lin Yaoqing's head.

After knowing these.

A hint of coldness flashed in Huo Guang's eyes, but he understood that he had arrived in Second Division City and was about to face a new round of war.

At this time.

You must keep a clear mind and not be angry.

Li Guangli, he can't kill him.

But if you become a king, you must die!

After thinking about it.

Huo Guang called the guards lightly and said, "Go, find someone who understands the Dawan language, repair a book, vote for King Yucheng, and write a war book!" (End of chapter)
