[Vol. 1] Section 141: Wei Qing Congrong 6

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

The Han army now has everything, only the east wind is owed.

Wei Qing's elite cavalry moved quickly, and it had reached the point of being unpredictable. I believe that as long as Commander Wei gives an order, the Huns will be annoyed, and the two kings of Aries can only be slaughtered by the neck, waiting to make dumpling stuffing for the Han army.

However, it was also more difficult to completely annihilate the Xiongnu to defend the enemy in Hetao, Wei Qing's troops were limited, and after sending troops to Yunyun and flanking Gaoque, the troops had been scattered.

Those who are familiar with the Huns know that in addition to being brave, they can run faster than rabbits, and if they want to annihilate them all, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Of course, Commander Wei would not be unaware of this, so starting from his dispatch to Chang'an, he went around in a big circle and went around behind the enemy's ass as quickly as possible, with the intention of attacking him unprepared.

Let's start fighting!

The commander of the guard gave the final order for the general attack.

Commander Wei took the lead and led thousands of elite horsemen to the Xiongnu camp.

Before many Hun soldiers understood what was going on, they were already in different places, and the Hun garrison became chaotic for a while.

In the face of such a divine general, the two kings of the Xiongnu were at a loss, and they could not organize an effective counterattack in a panic.

In the nick of time, they remembered one thing, and that was to run away.

Yes, escape, to be honest, Wei Qing's elite cavalry is already considered to be fast, in just a few days, it has outflanked thousands of kilometers, but when it comes to escaping, it still can't outrun the Hun troops. This can't help but make people feel that if there was an international Olympiad horse race at that time, other countries could directly abandon this project.

Commander Wei was worthy of a lucky general, and the Huns never dreamed that the Han army would return to their rear, so they took most of the army away when they went out to loot. Therefore, the battle went surprisingly well, and the Huns, after leaving thousands of corpses and hundreds of thousands of livestock, completely disappeared from the Hetao area.

Commander Wei won a resounding victory in the third battle against the Xiongnu, and he may not know how far this victory would make the whole country crazy.

If the first two Wei Qing's attacks were just a small test, then this time it is a big show.

Capturing the Hetao may have been a secret task given to him by Liu Che, but the army marched thousands of miles to win the battle, relying on the general who led the troops, not the emperor sitting in the palace hall.

Running thousands of miles and outflanking in a roundabout way, such a big deal is enough to make Wei Qing undoubtedly among the famous generals of the ages.

More importantly, this battle is extraordinary, it has always been the Xiongnu who occupied our territory and killed our people, but now, on the contrary, the Xiongnu are not only not invincible, but they can still fight them and find teeth all over the ground.

After this battle, the people of the Han Dynasty will not have to clamp their tails in front of their old Xiongnu neighbors, for fear of provoking it, but can stand in front of the Xiongnu with their chests raised and proudly declare: I am the people of the Han Dynasty.

For this alone, Wei Qing can be carried into the temple by later generations to be enshrined.

Of course, we do not advocate the use of force to solve all problems, but if there is really nothing to be done, the barrel of a gun is more effective than saliva.

Liu Che saw this, and began to reverse the peace policy left by his fathers from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and now, the policy has begun to bear fruit, and the emperor's prestige has also reached its peak.

Wei Qing's victory made the Han people rejoice, and the Hetao region soon received a new name, Shuofang County. This means that Liu Che intends to develop this place for a long time and turn it into a deep place to defend against the Xiongnu.

When Wei Qing returned to Chang'an, he was welcomed by the people of Chang'an, and he also received the reward he deserved, sealing the Marquis of Changping and eating 3,800 households.

Wei Qing's prestige has reached its peak, but this is not the culmination of his personal career.

Because the Huns just lost a piece of territory that was considered to be the size of a palm, it was nothing compared to its vast grassland, but from then on, the Huns had to take a good look at a young man surnamed Wei.

The Xiongnu remained the same for two consecutive years, often greeting the border of the Han Dynasty, and killed the Daijun Taishou in the third year of Yuan Shuo.

Although the first three victories of Commander Wei restored the dignity of the government and the opposition, boosted the morale of the people of the whole country, and gained a lot of land, the actual damage to the Xiongnu was not great.

Therefore, in the fifth year of Yuan Shuo (124 BC), Liu Che could not bear it anymore and once again ordered Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu, and this time he also won the victory. The spoils of this campaign were also quite abundant, in addition to 5,000 prisoners of war and 1 million livestock, and dozens of high-ranking officials such as the Xiongnu Youxian Barnyard King were captured. Despite this, the main force of the Xiongnu was lucky to escape.

After this battle, Liu Che made Wei Qing a general and became the highest commander in the army.

So far, Wei Qing's victory is commonplace, and every time he attacks, he can return triumphantly.

His victories were taken for granted, but there was a windfall on his fifth expedition.

In the spring of the sixth year of Yuan Shuo (123 BC), in February, Wei Qing set out for the fifth time, compared with the previous expeditions, Wei Qing was more mature, his prestige was extremely high, and he could command all the armies with full authority, but it was obvious that when victory came too easily, he had lost a little passion and heroism.

However, during this expedition, there was an accident, which almost destroyed the heart of the Huns, and the person who caused this accident was only eighteen years old.

He is Wei Qing's nephew, and his name is Huo Quai.
