Chapter 703: Huo Quai's Song

Chang'an City, Qingliang Palace.

Li Yunze shook the music in his hand, and said with a smile to Wei Qing, "The fire paint is still there, it hasn't been opened." Make a bet. ”

Wei Qing was a little anxious, but after all, he was a courtier, so he nodded and responded, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"Just bet on Huo Quai's letter, whether he was defeated or won." Li Yunze still played the song on the case, "I won, then when Huo Qu comes back from illness, you go and lead the horse for him." If you win, how about I go and lead him? ”

Wei Qing's heart moved slightly, and he immediately nodded his head, "But, the minister won the battle with Huo Qu's illness." ”

"Ugh"

When he said this, Li Yunze suddenly froze, "You robbed me of my lines?" ”

As the first person in the Han army, Wei Qing naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

I was worried before because I was worried that Huo Qu would get sick, after all, he was just a teenager.

But now that he has seen Huo Qu's ability, there is nothing to say.

"You're really not the material to be a favored minister." Li Yunze shook his head for test marketing, picked up the song and opened it.

In other words, if you are a favorite here, you have eight eyes like He Shen, so naturally let the Son of Heaven speak first, and then try your best to hold the bottom by yourself, saying that you can't let the Son of Heaven lose.

Obviously, Wei Qing, who has a stable personality, is indeed not this material.

After opening the song, Li Yunze quickly glanced through the ten lines.

Wei Qing looked at it seriously, watching Li Yunze hook the corners of his mouth, and the last big stone in his heart finally fell into his heart.

As long as you can win, then it's easy to say anything.

After reading the recital, Li Yunze directly greeted Sima Xiangru, "Who is that, come here, read it to the metropolitan governor." ”

The power of the Son of Heaven, the blessing of the ancestors. Hu Lu has been surrendering for many years, attacking cities and slaughtering towns, and driving away livestock. Kill the officials, the big thieves, the ministers who are hated by the world Wen Hu Lu are the right pseudo-king, gather troops at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, and plot for personal gain"

The gods of Lai Sheji, by the express edict of His Majesty. And the soldiers, the bottom is fierce, and the broken soldiers are used as the Huns who take advantage of the victory. Kill the king with a few, break his army, and destroy his troops! ”

Hulu eats meat and drinks cheese, clothes and fur, and there is no return to the city and the field, such as birds and beasts in the wilderness, the beautiful grass and sweet water will stop, and the grass will move when the water is exhausted. If there is no benefit in attacking the city, it will be destroyed."

With the great grace of His Majesty, the three armies will take their lives and dare not serve their deaths. Successive servants, if you do not destroy the enemy, the chieftain will not return."

The song is very long, it is obvious that it was written by Sima in the army, and it is also Sima Xiangru who made the song frustrated, and he felt that his throat and eyes were dry.

Fortunately, it was finally read to the key place", beheading Hu Lu right sage puppet king below, evil puppet king, chieftain Tu puppet king Yu Qi Wang, Xiangguo, general, danghu, Du Wei Yu hundreds. He also beheaded the five kings of the Western Regions, including the Shan Huan puppet king, the Cheshi puppet king, the Pu puppet king, and the Wuqiang puppet king."

More than 33,700 people were killed, more than 71,000 prisoners were captured, more than 130,000 cattle and horses, and more than 130,000 sheep were scattered all over the mountains and fields.

Hearing this, Wei Qing immediately frowned.

That's not right.

Having killed so many kings, it was obvious that he had hit the old camp of the Huns, and he had captured so many cattle, sheep and horses, it was definitely not a wild decisive battle.

But there are more than 30,000 captives, but only 70,000 prisoners are captured?

Wei Qing didn't believe that the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the old camp could escape under the noses of the Han army's iron cavalry.

If that is the case, it can only be.

There was a thought in his heart, but Wei Qing didn't say it, because he was not a virgin.

Sure enough, then I heard Sima Xiangru's voice trembling slightly, "The minister heard that the Son of Heaven once said, cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and the minister thinks so." ”

Traveling thousands of miles should not last long. The journey was difficult, and it was impossible to take it all. If you indulge it, I am afraid that all the Hulu will reunite. Chen Wenyue has been gathering for ten years, and ten years of lessons, twenty years away, Wu Qi is swampy! Therefore, the minister chose his youth, strength, old and weak, and the sick to exhaust the pit."

The meaning of this is very simple.

This battle is different from attacking the Hexi Corridor, which is not too far from the Han family, and it will be the land of the Han family after the county is set up.

Huo Qu's sick department attacked across thousands of miles, ran to the edge of the sky to fight the Huns, and after the battle, it was naturally impossible to stay in this place for a long time, and this land could not afford to support so many Han troops.

Dahan can't afford to set up a county here now, and he can go back after the fight.

But with so many captives, thousands of miles along the way, naturally there is no way to take them all away.

If they are released, these Huns will have a ten-year reunion and a ten-year lesson. After those twenty years, the Huns will be able to regain their strength and start fighting again.

In order to avoid the emergence of this situation, he Huo Qubing borrowed the words of the Son of Heaven, 'cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows', and practiced the method of white rising, pit the old, the weak, the young and the strong.

In other words, the people they can bring back are basically young women.

Because the threat level is not at the same level.

Sima Xiangru, who felt his scalp tingle, stopped for two breaths to calm his emotions.

It's just that Li Yunze here, but it's 'Huh? ’

Sima Xiangru dared to stop again, and hurriedly continued: "The ministers have seized countless kinds of materials, and the only wine vessel is very interesting. Yes, yes"

"It's not good to read a recital." Li Yunze snorted dissatisfiedly, "What do you want?" ”

Sima Xiangru sweated like rain, raised his wide sleeves and touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then recited, "It is cast by the head of the king of the Yue clan, and it is one of the two treasures of Wen Hulu"

The Huns had two treasures.

One is the Heavenly Golden Worshipper, which is kept by the Hutu tribe, because their range of activities is in the place where the heavens are worshipped.

The Huns are nomadic tribes, even if it is the royal court of Da Dan Yu, they are constantly nomadic, and it is very troublesome to carry a heavy sacrifice to the heavens, so they simply hand it over to the Hugh Tu Department for safekeeping, and when it is time to sacrifice to the sky, they will send it over.

Therefore, those Jin people are not from the Hutu tribe, but from Da Dan Yu, and from the entire Xiongnu.

This thing, when Huo Qu was sick and hit the Hexi Corridor before, had been seized and transported to Chang'an City.

Because it is too heavy, it will take a while to reach Chang'an City.

And then there is the wine vessel made of the head of the king of the Yue clan.

Before the rise of the Huns, they were just an inconspicuous small tribe in the steppe.

After defeating Donghu, his power increased greatly.

It's just that the overlord of the grassland at that time was not them, but the Yue tribe.

The Xiongnu fought an extremely cruel war with the Yueshi tribe, and the Huns suffered great losses, and finally relied on the help of Wusun and other tribes to defeat the Yueshi and expel it further west to the Western Regions.

Well, the expelled Yue tribe went to the west and established the famous Kushan Dynasty.

Compared with the Han Dynasty, the Yueshi tribe is the biggest mortal enemy and enemy of the Huns, and it is the real undying rival.

Therefore, when the king of the Yue clan was killed, Mao Dunshan Yu made his head into a wine vessel in accordance with the rules of the grassland, and it also became a treasure alongside the heavenly gold people.

Just as the Heavenly Gold Sacrifice was handed over to the Hutu tribe for safekeeping, this wine vessel has always been kept by King Youxian.

This time, Huo Qubing broke the last strength of the Right Xian King at the foot of the Northern Tianshan Mountain, and even the Right Xian King was killed on the spot, and then this thing was seized as a trophy.

The ministers will return soon, when they will be sacrificed to the ministers, and General Yao will be plagiarized, and Huo's will be sick and beheaded. Ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years~~~"

Finally finished reciting, Sima Xiangru breathed a big breath.

It's hard to put into words.

It's all the pits, and it's the wine vessel, and I really don't know what to say.

If it were changed to the Song and Ming dynasties, Huo Quai's actions would inevitably cause countless Confucian mothers to attack him, and they would like to scold Huo Qubing to death.

'How can you kill the Hulu, but use the way of the saints to influence them.' As long as you can influence the Hulu, even if you win, you have to give people and land, and then send the New Year's coin girl, you must make the Hulu satisfied. Anyone who dares to kill Hu Lu deserves to die! ’

Whether it is Di Qing or Yue Fei, they are all perfect interpretations of how Confucianism practices the way of sages.

Fortunately, here in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has already become a historical term, as long as the hundred schools of thought stand on the pulpit of the hundred schools, as long as they mention the Hulu barbarians, they are all full of shouting and shouting and killing.

Because those who shouted to be reformed and wanted to be a virgin were all set up in a special group.

The premise of Li Yunze's permission for the existence of hundreds of schools of thought is that you have to be devoted to your own people.

Speak back.

Wei Qing stepped forward and saluted Li Yunze: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The right part of the Xiongnu suffered a heavy blow and was no longer capable of being a soldier for decades. The land of the Western Regions is at your fingertips. ”

"It's not time yet."

Li Yunze simply shook his head, "But only in the royal court, there is still the left part, and their strength is stronger." Before the Huns were completely defeated, they did not go to the Western Regions. ”

He thought for a moment and then said, "But the preliminary preparation can still be done." Go and get Zhang Qian ready, and then go to the countries of the Western Regions for a turn. ”

Taking advantage of Huo Qu's illness to break the momentum of the right part of the Western Regions, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions to take a walk around the Western Regions to strengthen the presence and prestige of the Han here.

When the Han army finished cleaning up the Huns, they could free up their hands to settle in the Western Regions.

Li Yunze didn't want to be a heavenly khan, he didn't even let go of many feudal kings in the country, so naturally it was impossible to tolerate the existence of those small countries in the Western Regions.

The ultimate goal of the Western Regions must be to set up counties, migrate the people, and truly control them, not as in history, as in history, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty has problems, it will immediately lose the Western Regions.

Let Zhang Qian scare and scare the countries of the Western Regions first, and when the army drives over, those who are willing to take the initiative to cooperate with the establishment of counties and counties will naturally be given preferential treatment.

If he is unwilling, then Li Yunze will have to show his domineering aura.

"Huo Quzhi has never said the specific loss." After arranging for Lang Guan to summon Zhang Qian over, Li Yunze finally began to talk to Wei Qing about things he was unwilling to say before: "What do you think, how many soldiers and horses have been lost?" ”

Now I'm anxious, I know how to pay attention. Wei Qing complained in his heart, and after the battle, he began to care about the loss, but before that, he was so protective of the calf that he didn't let people mention it.

"It's hard to talk about people." Wei Qing groaned slightly, "But the loss of horses is at least more than half." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Qing also had a painful face.

You must know that the shepherd keeps a horse that can go on the expedition, even if it is just a horse, just the consumption of feed, and the amount of a year is equivalent to the harvest of a family.

At this time, the Han Dynasty, a family of at least five or six people started, and it was often a hundred acres of land.

Such a large amount of expenditure, or expenditure for many years in a row, and large-scale losses on the battlefield really distressed him.

"I keep it for eating and drinking on weekdays, isn't it just for this time."

Li Yunze waved his hand indifferently, "Not to mention anything else, the horses captured this time are definitely enough to replenish the loss." ”

"What really hurts me is those who were damaged in battle."
