[Vol. 1] Section 140: Wei Qing Congrong 5

------------

Han Anguo died in a foreign land, decades ago, in prison and humiliated by prison officials, but insisted that the ashes could be resurrected. Decades later, he died of depression. Although he left with regret and guilt, no one can forget the bearing and demeanor of his country's pillar, and his composure and self-confidence will undoubtedly set up an immortal monument for him in the long history.

After his death, even Liu Che, who deliberately alienated him, remembered this conscientious old courtier from time to time, he lost a great talent for governing the country and the people, and also lost a barrier.

After all, people can't be resurrected after death, people have passed away, and the living have been screaming.

Liu Che must consider the direct consequences of Han Anguo's death, who can succeed him to defend the territory of the north?

At this time, he thought of Li Guang.

Li Guang was sentenced to death for defeat in the war against Hungary in the sixth year of Yuanguang, and now he has no official position and lives in Chang'an. Liu Che heard that Li Guang had a short temper and lived in Chang'an for two years, causing a lot of trouble in Chang'an. Liu Che thought about it, Li Guang had it, but he also had a lot of merits, and the defeat the year before last was not entirely his responsibility, a famous general like Li Guang would naturally be the focus of the Huns, if he hadn't attracted the main force of the Huns, I'm afraid Wei Qing would not be so easy to succeed in a surprise attack, and besides, such a veteran, if he left him in Chang'an to cause trouble, it would be better to let him go to the front line to make meritorious contributions.

Liu Che's edict was quickly issued to Li Guang, who took over as the Taishou of Youbeiping and immediately went to work.

Li Guang received this edict, swept away the haze of the past two years, he is now nearly sixty years old, since the last defeat, Li Guang has not had too many expectations for the future, he even thinks, no accident, he will be suffocated in Chang'an in this life, I didn't expect that two years later, the emperor can think of him again.

Li Guang did not procrastinate, packed his bags and his subordinates and went to Youbeiping, galloping all the way, thinking all the way that the emperor's move was a second grace, if he didn't make some achievements, I'm afraid it would not be a matter of money, and besides, as a general, he had no reason to embarrass the old Li family.

Li Guang did not live up to Liu Che's expectations of him, and the area of Youbeiping he defended was so impregnable that the Huns would not dare to approach it for years.

The Huns are not a tendon, the border of the Han Dynasty is so vast, it is not easy to buy and sell in Beiping, it is not wrong to change places and rob them, as the saying goes, the living can not be suffocated to death by urine.

Faced with this situation, Li Guang was helpless, and since the last defeat, he did not dare to act rashly, and instead focused on defense.

Liu Che's heavy card against the Huns is still Wei Qing.

Wei Qing's first two sorties were successful, and it was this handful of captures that destroyed the myth of the invincibility of the Huns. It should be said that Wei Qing's appearance proves that Liu Che's vision is indeed outstanding, after years of training, Liu Che's eyes are already like torches, as if under his gaze, it is a mule or a horse, even if you don't have to pull it out, you can see what is going on.

In the second year of Yuan Shuo, the main force of the Xiongnu once again cruised to Yuyang and Shanggu, preparing to attack Shanggu and Yuyang.

The border emergency report was sent to Chang'an, which aroused Liu Che's great anger, and he could order Wei Qing and Li Xi to go out to meet the enemy. Li Xi, there is little information about his life, only that he joined the army as a young man, and he was able to get to the position of the chief general of today's invasion of Hungary, and he also climbed up step by step by virtue of military merits. It can be said that Li Xi and Wei Qing are both young generals that Liu Che values very much.

In just three years, Wei Qing began his third expedition, the first two trophies were not much, but they fundamentally overcame the fear of the Huns in the government and the opposition, and inspired the courage of the soldiers to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Unlike the previous two times, Liu Che gave Wei Qing more troops and set his sights on the fertile Yellow River loop.

"The enemy entrenched in the Hetao can threaten Chang'an to the south, and once it goes east, it will also aggravate the border trouble in the north." Liu Che drew a circle on the map with his hand.

In this way, there is no need for Liu Che to explain too much about what to do next.

Wei Qing took the order and left, and this time he led 40,000 troops.

Liu Che is indeed a master, in order to let Wei Qing go free and do a big job, Wei Qing has not yet set off, he has already ordered Li Xi to rush to Daijun quickly, and must attract the main force of the Huns.

Wei Qing, give it a go!

Liu Che sent Wei Qing far away from the official road of Chang'an.

Wei Qing still didn't have too many words, only the sake that the soldiers went out to fight, and Wei Qing drank it all.

A few days later, Wei Qing took his troops to the clouds.

According to the spies' report, the main force of the Xiongnu is a few miles away, and it has already connected with Li Xi, if the Xiongnu press all the troops to Li Xi, no one can guarantee that Li Xi can withstand it?

However, Wei Qing thought that the Huns would not be entangled with Li Xi, they came to rob, and their interest in the city was much smaller than their wealth, so there was no need to divide their troops to attack.

After a short pause, the soldiers regained their strength, and just when everyone thought that a major battle with the main force of the Xiongnu was about to be inevitable, they received an order from Wei Qing to leave the clouds.

According to common sense, this is a very strange order, the enemy is already close at hand, but does not attack, and in fact, because of the good work of secrecy, the Huns may not know that our army is coming, so to speak, this is the best time for a sneak attack, but it is necessary to give up this great opportunity to make a contribution and leave the clouds.

Faced with the questions of the soldiers, Wei Qing had no more explanation.

As in the first expedition, Wei Qing ordered his troops to move west along the Yellow River and occupy at all costs Gaoque, a small city entrenched by the Xiongnu.

The Hetao area is in the shape of several characters because of the Yellow River, the clouds are on the right, the high que is on the right, just at the top corner of the words, the clouds are the front line, and the high que is the big rear, the two places are not far apart, because of the ravine, the march is not easy.

Gaoque was a choke point, and once it was occupied, it would be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Xiongnu Shan Yuting and the Xiongnu troops entrenched in the Hetao.

The Xiongnu seem to have little awareness of the importance of Gaoque, and there were not many troops left behind to defend Gaoque.

The Xiongnu Loufu King stationed in the Hetao land, and the Aries King, most of the troops were defending the Han Dynasty troops in the south, and they never dreamed that someone would make a detour to their rear for thousands of miles.

Wei Qing occupied Gaoque without much effort.

For the next attack, there are different debates among the generals, some people think that the troops should return to attack the main force of the Xiongnu, and Li Xi to form a front and back attack, and some people think that they should go south to attack the two Xiongnu kings in the Hetao area.

Wei Qing waved his hand, this time he had a plan. He understands that although there are not many troops in the white sheep, their cavalry is still a hard bone, if they attack head-on, the Han army may not be able to take advantage, the kind of business that kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred themselves, excellent generals will not do it.

General Wei deserves to be an excellent general.

He came from afar this time and didn't make a 'dumpling', which seemed to be too sorry for tens of thousands of soldiers.

After a few days of rest, Wei Qing left other troops, gathered the elite cavalry, and marched south, arriving at Longxian County, Shaanxi.

In this way, Wei Qing blocked the gateway of the enemy of the Hetao to the west.
