187, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer

"General, the military equipment sent from Bohai County has arrived."

The Great War was imminent, and the various parties of the Han Dynasty were frequently mobilized, the most important of which was grain, grass and armament.

The current armament of the Western Han Dynasty is located in Bohai County, which is not far from the border pass, but it will not be invaded by the Huns, and it can be transported by land or sea, which is very convenient.

In the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Qi nodded.

Get up and go out.

As the central lieutenant of 2,000 stones, he has a lot of rights and is qualified to apply for sufficient armaments.

Now that the armament has arrived, he naturally has to go to the inventory and acceptance.

There were 20,000 Liaodong troops, and he asked for 40,000 crossbows, millions of crossbow arrows, and leather armor and iron armor were enough to arm all the soldiers.

There are countless swords, guns, halberds, and spears.

I have to say that the Han Dynasty has really a lot of armaments, and Zhang Qi originally thought that it would be a little difficult to ask for these materials, but he didn't expect that as soon as the documents were sent, the court directly approved them.

It's so efficient.

was definitely forced to be anxious by the Huns.

"Wang Li!"

"Captain!"

Wang Li, dressed in Han leather armor, gave his hand.

"Put all the supplies in the warehouse, and take a little time out every day to train A."

"No!"

Zhang Qi snorted, took the quantity of materials registered in the army's main book, looked at it a few times, and handed it back.

Heavy snow has covered the land.

However, the Central Governor's Mansion practiced diligently every day.

With the grain and grass of the Han Dynasty and the materials sent by Wuhuan, Zhang Qi's training of these soldiers was very harsh.

Discipline and obedience are the eternal main themes in the army.

There is food and clothing, and every month the whole food rings, and the orders of Zhang Qi of the Liaodong army are carried out very well.

Compared with the tense atmosphere in other counties, Zhang Qi's side was a little calm, and he never told the soldiers about the Xiongnu Koubian, because he knew that the Huns would most likely not come to Liaoxi, and even if they did, it would only be Hu Shui's guerrilla army.

If Yi Zhi dies obliquely, then Zhang Qi is not afraid to change his strategy and replace him with Shan Yu again.

If he didn't need the Xiongnu to involve the eyes of the Han Dynasty now, with his current combat strength, it can be said that it would be very simple to defeat the Xiongnu.

Because the horses under his command are fast, and the men under his command dare to fight.

The Xiongnu are no longer in Zhang Qi's eyes, and now his only strong enemy is the Han Dynasty.

Unlike nomadism, the Han Dynasty, as an agrarian nation, had a large enough population base, and in the era of cold weapons, the number of people was the biggest advantage.

Not to mention the armament and city defense of the Han land, as well as the hundreds of thousands of main forces, as well as the millions of officials who can be recruited at any time.

December.

Heavy snow in the middle of winter.

It took two months for the Xiongnu to pacify the steppe tribes.

January.

Shan Yuting began to launch a call.

The steppe ministries began to respond.

February.

Food, horses well prepared.

The 240,000 horsemen of the grassland moved together and rushed to the counties of the Han Dynasty.

March.

Everything sprouts, except for Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, the climate of other counties is already good.

That's when it happened.

Huns.

Here it comes!

Shuo Fang.

Gongsun Ao, the commander of the guards, looked north at the pass of the Great Wall.

His instincts told him that the Huns were coming.

His instinct was right, and at noon that day, the green horse came in the north.

"Raise wolf smoke! Inform the counties that the Huns are coming! ”

"No!"

The entire pass of the Great Wall moved in an instant.

Countless garrison equipment have been prepared, and the billowing wolf smoke spreads from west to east!

Yunzhong County.

Li Guang, the general of the cavalry, looked at the wolf smoke, and his face suddenly became unruly.

"Hmph, the brave Huns, knowing that the old man didn't dare to attack here!"

"Raise the wolf smoke and inform the other border counties!"

"No!"

"Let the generals lead the army back to the counties, Gongsun Ao's kid can't hold it, the Huns will plunder from the territory of Shuofang to the east, prepare in advance!"

Upper Valley County

"Wolf smoke!"

Right Beiping.

The wolf smoke was already visible, and Wei Qing sighed: "Raise the wolf smoke, leave a battalion of soldiers (five thousand people) at the pass of the Great Wall, and the rest of the people will defend the counties!" ”

"Uncle?"

Beside Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi looked at Wei Qing suspiciously, the Huns had not yet arrived under the Great Wall, why did they start changing guards now.

"The Huns have come in, go to the sick, do you know where the Huns like to go?"

"Shuo Fang?"

Huo Quzhi said hesitantly.

Wei Qing shook his head and nodded again: "The Great Wall has been established for a long time, not built by one country, but by the initiates of several countries, and the best attack is here, Your Majesty asked me to guard Youbeiping in order to test the ability of the new soldiers, and secondly, it is Shuo Fang, in the past, Meng Tian was ordered to connect the Great Wall."

He was connected, but not completely, there was a gap in the westernmost part of the Great Wall of Qin, and it was close to Shan Yuting, so except for Youbeiping, that was the best place to be attacked. ”

"And guarding there is Gongsun Ao, the captain of the guard, his inexperience is insufficient, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Xiongnu will enter Shuofang."

Saying that, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had already gone down the Great Wall.

"Then why did His Majesty still let him guard such an important place?"

Huo Qu was puzzled.

Wei Qing looked back in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes flashed: "What Your Majesty wants is for them to come in!" ”

"This Your Majesty of ours has a heart like steel."

"In the steppe, we can't catch up with the Huns, but let them into the Han land."

Wei Qing didn't say the rest of the words, but Huo Qubing also reacted, this is equivalent to letting the Huns into the pocket, as long as the bag is opened, the Han army can fight the Huns head-on.

"What about the people?"

After getting along with Zhang Qi for more than a month, Huo Quai's illness was under the influence of his ears and eyes, and he was a little concerned about the questions he had never asked before.

Wei Qing glanced at Huo Quzhi in some surprise, it was the first time he had heard him ask such a question.

But he didn't say anything, glanced at Huo Quzhi and continued to walk forward.

The people are nothing to him, even as a general who guards the land and defends the country, but he guards Liu Che's country and land.

Shuo Fang.

"Kill!"

"Hahaha!"

"Wealth! Wine! Beauty! You have everything when you enter Handi! ”

The Huns all had hideous smiles on their faces.

"Arrows, arrows!!"

Gongsun Ao, the commander of the guards, ordered loudly.

On the pass of the Great Wall, the Han army struggled to kill the enemy, but unfortunately there were too many Huns, and they kept killing one and two.

Soon, the Great Wall of Shuofang was lost, and countless Huns poured into Shuofang County.

Burn and loot.

Houses collapsed.

The torches were thrown out, and the flames burned.

"Mother! I'm afraid! ”

"Ahh

"My son, my son!"

Children, women, old people, all living beings have the same appearance, but this appearance is miserable.

Cries, noises, shouts of killing, and laughter abounded.

Great Wall Pass.

Gongsun Ao sat paralyzed on the Great Wall, it's over, it's all over.

The task given to him by His Majesty was not completed, and according to the law of the Great Han, it was a capital crime.

Although he left the corpses of countless Huns, he did not hold it, and countless Huns entered the Han land from him.

The helmet was taken off by him, and Gongsun Ao looked at Shuo Fang who was burning in the distance

I couldn't talk to myself for a long time.
