Chapter 144: Huo Qu's Disease 3
[Vol. 1] Section 144: Huo Qu's Disease 3
------------
Seeing that his nephew's face was covered with blood and his armor had been torn to pieces, Wei Qing hurriedly stood up and walked quickly
In front of Huo Qu's illness, he carefully examined his whole body with a frown.
Huo Quzhi stared at his uncle's concerned eyes, his heart was hot, and he said easily: "Uncle, I just suffered a little skin injury, and it is not a big problem." ”
Wei Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, when the battle was at its most intense, he actually left his nephew behind, in case of a little mistake, how could he explain to the emperor and his sister, but fortunately, Huo Quai's illness was safe and sound!
Wei Qing was about to ask Ming Huo Qubing in detail how he could look like this, Huo Qubing had already shouted outside the tent, only to see several soldiers carrying the heads of the bloody forest, and the other two Hun dressed figures into the tent.
Wei Qing felt a little strange, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes, his nephew had brought him captives, and it could be seen from the outfits of these two captives that they were by no means ordinary people.
Without waiting for Wei Qing to ask, Huo Quzhi had already told their identities, the two captives were the Xiangguo of the Xiongnu, and they were in charge, but the head was Luogu, the uncle of the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
After listening to Huo Quai's introduction, Wei Qing bowed slightly, his face was happy, you must know that Wei Qing, a famous general, is usually silent and does not smile, and there are not many opportunities to see his smile.
Wei Qing looked around the tent and found that the fronts in the tent were looking at each other, turning heads to ear, many people shook their heads, revealing a look of disbelief, and Su Jian, the right general who had lost the battle, lowered his head uneasily.
Everyone looked at Commander Wei, hoping that he could raise some doubts about the captives, because they never dared to believe that this was a fact, they had fought with the Huns for most of their lives, and they usually lost in disgrace, and now this young man who had just turned eighteen actually captured the Huns' Xiangguo with only 800 people, and when he was a household, he beheaded the Huns and killed 2,000 enemies, but he was unscathed.
Do you think this is possible? If this is true, then many of you here are not presumptuous generals.
Because Huo Quzhi is a relative of the emperor and is deeply loved by the emperor today, most of the generals are kind-hearted people, and it is not easy to open up in person if they have questions, so they can only hope that his uncle will raise some questions, if they can catch some flaws, then their veterans will also have a glow on their faces. Although this idea is a little dirty, for now, in the account, except for Commander Wei, such an idea is understandable.
However, what is disappointing is that the information revealed by Commander Wei's resolute face is clearly saying, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
For Commander Wei, Huo Quai's record solved a big problem for him.
Although his descendants won a lot of victories, the former general Zhao Xin surrendered to the enemy, and the right general Su Jian's entire army was annihilated.
Commander Wei did not raise any questions, but was full of interest in Huo Quai's experience of victorious attack.
It turned out that before encountering the main force of the Huns, Huo Qubing asked him to be the vanguard army several times, but Commander Wei was stubborn, and selected the most outstanding 800 heroes in the army for him, and the task given to him was only to detect the main force of the Huns around the army, and once the enemy was found, he should come to report quickly.
Huo Qu was sick and took the order, he led the troops for the first time in his life, and he was excited.
He had dreamed countless times that he had stepped on his war horse and led thousands of horses to gallop south of the desert, bringing down one enemy after another under his iron hooves.
And now, all this is no longer a dream, he really stepped on the war horse galloping on the grassland, he really has his own troops, and he has a place to realize the dream of a famous general.
No one could have predicted what would happen to a young man when he stepped on a war horse. Is it a blood-stained field, a horse leather shroud, or a success, and a prestige in the world!
Huo Qubing may not care about the outcome anymore, he only knows that once he steps on the war horse, he will only have one goal in life, to kill the Huns who deceived me and destroyed me.
The future is no longer important, the position is no longer important, only that enthusiasm needs to be swayed.
Just like the words that Huo Quzhi threw to history later, "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home." This young man, as long as he lives, will fulfill his promise.
We can imagine Huo Qubing leading his 800 brave men to stand in the vast grassland where the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low.
He would never want to be a general who returned without success.
He never wanted to be a failed general.
In this vast grassland, his enemies live.
Huo Quzhi is a smart man, he knows that as long as he finds a place with abundant water and grass, he will definitely find the nest of the Huns.
So he announced an extremely bold decision to the eight hundred heroes, and this decision even his famous uncle did not dare to try rashly.
"Strong men, follow me to the lair of the Huns, do you dare?" Huo Quai's voice resounded through the clouds.
The 800 soldiers were indeed the elite of the army, and they did not hesitate to shout, "I am willing to listen to the orders of the little general." ”
"Okay, let's go!"
Huo Quzhi has put Wei Qing's orders behind him, although he loves and respects his uncle very much, but he wants to make contributions in his own way, and his uncle is enough for the so-called main force of the Huns.
Huo Qubing began his first march in the grassland, and he led his soldiers to march in a hurry in the direction of abundant water and grass.
In the gallop of the horse, Huo Qubing was extremely happy, as if he forgot that there were still his eight hundred strong men behind him, and he only cared about covering his head and galloping forward.
Fortunately, the riding skills of the eight hundred soldiers are extremely good, otherwise, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep up with Huo Quai.
The troops galloped all the way, observing all the way, hoping to find clues of the Huns.
However, it is disappointing that hundreds of miles down are all uninhabited.
They had been running for a day and a night, and the troops were already sleepy and tired, but Huo Qubing still had no intention of stopping to rest.
A soldier reminded Huo Qubing that we had penetrated hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory, and if we encountered the enemy's army, we would be in a very dangerous situation.
Huo Quai, but he was noncommittal, he told the soldiers that he would not find the Huns and vowed not to turn back.
This answer is exactly the same as when Wei Qing came out of the jam, except that Wei Qing had 10,000 horses back then, and he only had 800 people, Wei Qing had a clear goal of Dragon City, but he had to look at luck to find a target.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he was more resolute than his uncle.
However, despite this, Huo Qubing was not as good as his uncle, Commander Wei marched with the troops and shared weal and woe with the soldiers, while the young general Huo Qubing had to sleep in the best tent and eat the best military rations.
After a short rest, Huo Qubing and his 800 soldiers continued to search forward.
Their speed was slower than the day before, and if their estimation was correct, they had already penetrated four or five hundred miles into the enemy's territory.
The grumbling and impatience of the soldiers have risen, and many soldiers began to regret why they didn't dissuade this son, who had never fought before, now it's okay, the enemy is not looking for it, in case something goes wrong, Huo Qu is sick and has an accident, even if they can go back with 800 people, I'm afraid they will have to go around without food.
Huo Quzhi wouldn't be ignorant of other people's thoughts, but he didn't care about these at all, whatever you think, in his opinion, even if he was the only one who entered the grassland, he would look for it.
He's going to work a miracle!
The young Huo Quzhi has been swimming in the grassland for a few days, but he still has no intention of turning back.
If nothing else, this will only be a sightseeing tour to accompany the royal family.
For the soldiers who are tasked with protecting Huo Gongzi, whether to fight the Huns or not is no longer the top priority, now it is necessary to find a way not to let Huo Gongzi starve to death, sleep, and die of thirst, as long as he can get out of the body, then thank God, as long as Huo Gongzi is served well, maybe he will talk to the emperor about this pleasant sightseeing tour, they will not only be right, but also meritorious.
Huo Quai's stubbornness has been urging the troops to move forward.
However, hundreds of miles have passed, and no trace of the Xiongnu has been found.
Huo Qubing ordered the troops to dismount and rest, and he himself led a few men to gallop north for a while, and after walking through a mound, he saw the smoke rising from the stove.
Huo Qu couldn't hide his excitement, and when his troops followed, he immediately ordered a surprise attack.
Huo Quai's resoluteness saved his reputation.
He caught a big fish.
Even more than 2,000 nobles, including the Xiongnu Shan Yu and his uncle, became his trophies.
