Chapter 254: Fight! The sad Li Ling
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave an edict, and Huo Guang immediately rode a big black horse and set off towards Wuyuan.
It is known from the content of the edict.
This time.
He will attack together with his brother Huo Quai.
It's strange to say.
For so many years, he has never fought with his brother. I just don't know if my brother still has the majesty of the year after all these years?
This time the Xiongnu invaded the frontier, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had always been tough on the Huns.
Except for Li Guangli's 70,000 soldiers and horses.
There are two other ways.
All the way to coincide with Hou Mangtong's 40,000 cavalry, out of Jiuquan; All the way for the new imperial historian Shangqiu, leading 30,000 troops out of the West River.
A total of 140,000 soldiers!
When Huo Guang rode Dahei and galloped all the way to the vicinity of Wuyuan, he finally encountered a group of Hun cavalry.
These people were not the 70,000 soldiers led by Li Guangli, but the 5,000 elite cavalry brought by his brother Huo Qubing from the southbound area.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to reach the champion Hou Na.
The hussar general Da Sima rushed from the south to the Baiyue countries to the Wuyuan region.
And the reason why we met here first.
It was the elder brother who deliberately slowed down and waited for himself.
Looks like.
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty first issued an edict to his brother, and then issued another edict to himself.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the elder brother to be far away, but to come to Wuyuan first.
Come to think of this.
Huo Guang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your Majesty is really thoughtful, those hundred officials of the imperial court, I am afraid that in private, I think that Your Majesty is already old and confused!" ”
Shaking his head, he immediately dismounted and walked towards the five thousand elite cavalry.
I saw Huo Guang coming.
Two cavalrymen blocked Huo Guang's way and said, "Stop, what are you doing?" ”
"Bo Luhou, Huo Guang, your general is my brother!" Huo Guang said lightly.
These soldiers were all brought by the elder brother from the Baiyue countries.
My brother fights wars, and he always likes to use local people. After staying in the Baiyue countries in the south for so long, I am afraid that there are not many Chang'an Han cavalry around me.
Because he is not a native of Chang'an.
So it's normal not to know Huo Guang.
After hearing Huo Guang's self-report, one of the cavalrymen said, "Bo Luhou, okay, please come with me." ”
Huo Guang led the horse and followed the cavalryman. walked to the middle of the team, and finally saw his brother Huo Quai.
So Huo Guang immediately arched his hand and said: "Huo Guang, the general of the cavalry, I have seen the general of the hussars, Da Sima!" ”
When Huo Quzhi saw Huo Guang coming, he immediately laughed and said, "What are you doing here with your brother?" ”
"It's in the barracks, after all!" Huo Guang said.
Huo Quzhi smiled slightly, didn't say anything, only read: "I heard that Your Majesty has restored your marquis?" ”
"Yes."
Huo Guang replied directly.
Huo Quzhi nodded and said, "Too many things have happened in the past two years, and I also understand the situation of the Wei family. ”
"I know, brother." Huo Guang didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he changed the topic and said: "The top priority at the moment is to take down Li Guangli and master the 70,000 army." ”
The army of 70,000 is now Li Guangli's hole card.
Meantime.
This is also the last hope of the Han Dynasty to resist the Xiongnu.
At this time, the Han Dynasty had serious internal and external troubles.
If it fails, the Han Dynasty will have a poor life, and at the same time, they will no longer be able to conquer these Xiongnu in Mobei.
So later time.
The brothers discussed together how to take down Li Guangli's 70,000 soldiers without blood.
Wait until you have discussed it.
The two brothers took 5,000 elite cavalry and rushed towards Li Guangli's 70,000 army stationed in Wuyuan.
When the 5,000 cavalry arrived at Li Guangli's camp.
I saw Li Guangli's face full of doubts, and asked, "Brother Huo, what are you two doing when you two come to my handsome camp?" ”
This attitude is very different from that of 20 years ago.
Right now.
The fall of the Wei family's relatives and the rise of the Li family have made this guy look down on the power of the Huo family brothers.
After all, even the matter of the establishment of the prince of the Han Dynasty, he dared to plot privately with the prime minister!
What's more, a relative who has already destroyed Wei's relatives?
Huo Guang didn't say a word, and directly took out the edict issued by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and asked people to take it to Li Guangli, who was arrogant in front of him.
Li Guangli opened the edict and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "How can this be?" ”
"Changing generals in battle, this is a taboo for soldiers!"
"Your Majesty is really old and confused, how can you do such a thing?"
Seeing that Li Guangli was so shocked, Huo Guang suddenly understood that this guy was afraid that he didn't know anything about what happened in Chang'an.
Seemingly.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che is still the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Act vigorously and resolutely, and do things impermeable.
Then.
The elder brother Huo Quai, who was beside him, held a long sword in his hand, yelled at Li Guangli, and said: "Bastard, you dare to insult Your Majesty in front of all the soldiers and soldiers, come here, take it for me!" ”
The words fell.
A team of cavalry behind him stepped forward to take Li Guangli down.
And a team of guards suddenly poured out around Li Guangli to protect Li Guangli.
Looks like.
In the past 20 years, Li Guangli has not achieved nothing, but he has cultivated a vote of pro-soldiers in the army.
Huo Quai's illness saw that someone stopped him, so he immediately waved his long sword and said: "This Hou is the hussar general Da Sima Huo Quai, this trip is ordered by His Majesty, if you continue to stop him, Hugh blames General Ben for being ruthless!" ”
Here's what to say.
The soldiers in this barracks were somewhat shaken and began to retreat.
But Li Guangli's cronies were all selected from the government to protect his safety, so how could they retreat.
No way.
If you want to seize the power of the army, you can't keep thinking about such a good thing as a bloodless soldier.
Thereupon.
Huo Qubing swung his sword.
The five thousand elite cavalry behind him, like a flood bursting the embankment, rushed and roared towards the group of cronies around Li Guangli.
The biggest advantage of infantry over cavalry is long-range harassment with bows and arrows.
Once you get close.
Then use a shield and a spear to build defenses.
But this has to be prepared in advance, the incident happened suddenly, how could Li Guangli think of this.
Plus.
The 5,000 elite cavalry of the champion Hou are all strong divisions honed from the repeated suppressions of the South Vietnamese countries, and these personal soldiers selected by Li Guangli from the palace can be matched.
Just a charge.
Li Guangli's surrounding cronies were all slaughtered, and only Li Guangli was left.
Champion Hou Huo didn't talk nonsense with Li Guangli when he was sick, and directly ordered his subordinates: "Take down the anti-minister Li Guangli, and follow me to rectify military discipline." ”
Huo Guang immediately gave up his hand and said, "No! ”
And Li Guangli, who was taken, was dragged by the soldiers at this time, and shouted with an unwilling face: "Bastard, I am Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, and I am not an anti-minister." ”
"You Wei are the rebels and thieves."
"When General Ben returns to Chang'an, I will definitely join forces with the Prime Minister and join your Huo family brothers in front of Your Majesty."
Huo Guang watched Li Guangli being dragged away, ignoring his hysterical rant.
He didn't know.
In Chang'an City, Prime Minister Liu Quyu has been beheaded.
And Li Guangli's family was also imprisoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This is a big departure from the original history.
It stands to reason.
After the witch curse, there was no one available in the court. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also needed to rely on Li Guangli, a general who was not very useful, to deal with the invasion of the Xiongnu in the north.
Wait for Li Guangli's army to set off.
Then arrest all the children of the family, put them in prison or directly execute them.
When Li Guangli's battle with the Huns was over and he was ready to return to Chang'an, he would receive the news.
At that time.
Li Guangli will die if he goes back, and if he doesn't go back, he will die, and he can only be a rebel general.
And the only price for this is to sacrifice the 70,000 Han soldiers under Li Guangli!
Is it cruel?
Not cruelty!
It takes ten thousand bones to make a success, not to mention the great Han Son of Heaven who is the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Why has history changed today?
Huo Guang felt that it was because of his existence that his brother champion Hou did not die young. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has Huo Quai, a general available, so naturally there is no need for a straw bag general like Li Guangli.
After Li Guangli was escorted down.
Champion Hou Huo went to illness, so he led Huo Guang to rectify military discipline together.
As long as the people who have managed it know that it is difficult to manage the number of people exceeding 50, and it is even more difficult to manage 70,000 soldiers and horses. Therefore, it depends on the commander-in-command of the main general.
However, with only 70,000 horses, the hussar general Da Sima Huo went to illness, so it was not a problem.
And this time to rectify military discipline.
It's not that Li Guangli's military discipline in commanding soldiers before was not good.
Rather, it is for the convenience of the champion Hou command.
What is the taboo of a soldier when changing positions? Very simply, after the change of generals, it is not the army that they brought out, and the command system is not easy to use during the battle.
In these days when my brother is rectifying military discipline.
The other two armies, Hou Mangtong and Yushi Dafu Shangqiu, have been sending envoys to urge Huo Guang to send troops here.
After Huo Guang learned the news, he talked to his brother about it.
The elder brother did not take it to heart, and only said a few words lightly, probably meaning that sharpening the knife and cutting wood, and then delayed for several days.
By the time this army is reorganized, it will be almost over.
Finally.
The army of 70,000 marched towards Mobei with great momentum.
Although Mobei is large.
But for Huo Quzhi, who has suppressed this place for decades, he has long been familiar with it.
After a few days of traveling, and through recruiting the residents of Mobei, Huo Guang finally found the Hun army under the banner of the Right Colonel Wang who invaded the frontier in this vast Mobei.
And through the scout's inquiry.
This Hun right school king is not an outsider!
It is the grandson of the flying general Li Guang, Li Ling, who has left a name in history!
Heaven seems to be very fond of playing with people.
Li Ling, who once aimed to fight against the Xiongnu, eventually became the right school king of the Xiongnu Shan Yu to deal with the Han army.
Although the reason for the defeat of the army cannot be blamed on Li Ling.
But the fact that the fraud has come true cannot be whitewashed!
After his brother Huo Qubing learned that the enemy general was a junior of the Li family, he didn't know whether it was out of guilt for killing Li Kang, or disdain for the recklessness of the junior, and directly handed over the power of the army to Huo Guang.
"General Che Cai, now it has been found out that the Huns we encountered are 30,000 cavalry led by Li Ling, the king of the right colonel!"
"Previously, Shangqiu's department met them and didn't take advantage of them."
"Now, I will also give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, maybe to deal with Li Ling's 30,000 cavalry?"
Looked at.
Huo Guang immediately arched his hand and said, "Obey the order of the Great Sima." ”
Thereupon.
Behind him was Huo Guang led 30,000 Han troops to meet Li Ling.
Li Ling is a Han Chinese, and he has been beaten by the Han army since he was a child.
So.
When Huo Guangsuo led 30,000 soldiers and horses to confront Li Ling, he did not make the decision to turn his head and run away and harass with bows and arrows like the Huns in the past.
Instead, they set up a lineup and confronted Huo Guang's two armies.
Huo Guang rode Dahei and came to the front of the two armies, looked at Li Ling, the right colonel of the Huns, who was also confronting him, and immediately shouted: "Shaoqing, if you surrender now, this marquis will definitely intercede with Your Majesty and give you amnesty." Now that the country is happy, Your Majesty is old, and it is precisely the talent that needs you and me! ”
However, Li Ling snorted coldly and said, "I am already a Hun!" ”
Li Ling's military talent is definitely not weak.
These cavalry of his, after years of personal training, have been trained by their own hands, and their combat power is amazing.
Huo Guang's 30,000 people, but they are temporarily deployed, and their combat power still needs to be studied.
Now the two sides are facing each other.
If you really want to fight, I'm afraid it won't hurt a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
So even if Huo Guang looks down on Li Ling from the bottom of his heart, at this time, he has to say a word and say: "Shaoqing, it's been a hard time lately, I, Huo Guang, greet you on behalf of Your Majesty!" ”
However, Li Ling said: "Your Majesty and Huo Gongan can be reconciled, my wealth, you don't need to worry." ”
Huo Gong here, of course, refers to Huo Qu's disease, not Huo Guang.
If Li Ling wants to call Huo Guang Huo Gong, he must first wait for Huo Guang to become one of the three dukes.
Da Sima is the third duke, and Li Ling called Huo Qubing Huo Gong, which is naturally possible.
Huo Guang saw that Li Ling didn't listen to his words at all, so he changed his attitude and asked, "Li Ling, don't forget, your grandfather is General Li Guang. ”
"Maybe your Li family and the Wei family had a conflict."
"But the righteousness must not be forgotten!"
"The Xiongnu are the great enemy of our Han people, you are now taking refuge in the Xiongnu, after death, what face do you have to see your ancestors and ancestors?"
Hearing Huo Guang's words, Li Ling was slightly moved.
The Li family and the Wei family did not deal with each other.
But the Han Dynasty is his roots.
But Li Ling talked about death again, and just a moment later, he shook his head and said, "Zimeng, you don't need to say it." ”
"It's easy for me to go back, I'm afraid that I will be humiliated again, and I can't help it!"
"A husband cannot be capricious and repeatedly humiliated."
The words fell.
So he drew his bow and shot an arrow, and one shot it at the great black horse's hoof.
Li Ling's archery skills are not much better than Huo Guang's.
This arrow could be shot in front of the big black horse's hooves, not that his archery skills had regressed, but that he showed Huo Guang his determination.
So.
Huo Guang no longer forced Li Ling to return to Han.
He knows.
Li Ling is destined to be a tragic figure in history, and this cannot be changed.
With a flick of the long sword, the 30,000 soldiers behind him opened up the lineup and rushed together with the 30,000 cavalry led by the right colonel Wang Li Ling.
The shouts of killing were deafening.
Cavalry and infantry are close to each other.
The advantage of cavalry is the lineup of rushing soldiers in close combat.
The advantage of the infantry is that they form a formation, defend with a combination of shields and spears, and then apply bows and arrows to shoot from a distance.
Let's put it simply.
It's the spear and the shield, either the spear pierces the shield, or the shield blocks the spear.
However, the problem is.
The Hun cavalry has never been good at charging into battle.
Their merit lies in mounted archery.
However, Li Ling gave up on this, causing the Hun cavalry to encounter the Han infantry phalanx and directly cut off one of their legs.
Cavalry without the advantage of leg length is waste.
At the beginning, Li Ling was able to use 5,000 infantry to maneuver several times the Hun cavalry, relying on the equipment of the Han infantry to be better than that of the resource-poor Xiongnu.
Now.
With the same strength, it was difficult for the Hun cavalry to defeat the Han army.
Even if he was an army led by Li Ling, this was true.
And yet at the moment.
Li Ling didn't care about these anymore, he rode a Hun war horse, and he had already rushed towards Huo Guang.
"Zimeng, let's fight."
"Shaoqing has been looking forward to fighting with you."
"Today."
"Either you drag my corpse back to see Your Majesty, or I will step on your head to ask the Huns for credit." (End of chapter)
