[Vol. 1] Verse 168: Sealing the Wolf Juxu 1

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

Huo Qubing took risks alone, in exchange for the four counties of Hexi, such a big deal may only be done by Huo Quzhi, and at this time, don't forget, he is only twenty-one years old.

After Huo Qu's illness, there was no Huo Qu's disease.

Huo Quzhi proved his genius with great merits, and those who accused him of being brave and unscrupulous completely shut up, Huo Quzhi is really a flawless general, except for praise for him, only praise.

Even those with a little bit of brains can't turn a blind eye, and the mentality of the people is undergoing a major change. Speaking of which, the ancestors of China have always regarded foreign races as barbarians, thinking that they can't get on the stage, but in addition to fear or fear for them, the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang, was so majestic that it was not to prevent the northern alien races from hurting their brains.

But now it is very different, a few years ago, the rise of Commander Wei eliminated the Han people's fear of aliens, broke the myth of the invincibility of the Hu people, and then, Commander Huo Xiao was even more god, winning many battles, and he was a happy god. You can use an inappropriate analogy to illustrate the mentality of the people at this time, the Han Dynasty at this time was like a nouveau riche who picked up two treasures, in front of his neighbors, his waist was straight, and he was no longer afraid of his neighbor Hu Hezi and Qiang second-rate sons, who could raise their heads and stand tall and be wanton.

Raise your head and hold your head high, hold your head high, embrace all rivers, say one thing or another, be reasonable and reasonable, and have soldiers if you are unreasonable, this is the mentality that a big country and a strong country should have.

Looking at it now, such a mentality was precisely promoted by the efforts of Liu Che and his generals.

The pacification of Hexi has made Liu Che's heart sick, since this rich land has been included in the territory, the conscription has been saved by half, in the northwest, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to defend, because the Huns are still there, there are them there to guard, it is simply twice the result with half the effort, the northwest border at a glance, all acquaintances, because of different nationalities, embarrassed to open a camellia will drink a warm wine, but it will not be to fight and kill, after all, it is relatives, break the bones and tendons, why bother?

However, Yi Zhixian was very angry.

Unexpectedly, after years of bloody battles, in exchange for losing territory, his subordinates surrendered to the enemy. This breath is really hard to swallow, he is so mixed up like this, he really doesn't know how to meet his father and brother under Jiuquan!

Actually, Yi Zhixian doesn't have to be like this, his father and brother are just luckier than him, they didn't meet Liu Che and Wei Huo, if they do, I'm afraid they won't take much advantage.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty before Liu Che was in a period of accumulating wealth, and it was difficult to fight without money, so even if Liu Che's father and brother had the heart to find trouble with the Huns, they were powerless. Now, Liu Che is in power, this brother's treasury can be summed up in one sentence, he is so poor that he only has money left, as the saying goes, he has a lot of money, he doesn't come to greet his old neighbors, and he really doesn't know where to spend his money!

Yi Zhi held his breath, ready to wait for the opportunity, this Shan Yu, who is known for his bravery, except for going to the battlefield to get his face back, he can't come up with any tricks.

At the same time, Liu Che also ordered to strengthen the defense of Daijun, Yanmen and other places, not only to strengthen the defense, but also to closely monitor the movements of the Huns.

He had long expected that once Hexi was pacified, with his understanding of the opponent, Yi Zhixian would never give up, and the decisive battle between the Han and the Huns could happen at any time, while Daijun, Yanmen and other northern parts of the country would go straight to the main force of the Xiongnu, and if a big war was inevitable, then it was most likely to happen in these places.

In fact, Liu Che's prediction was completely correct, and after the pacification of Hexi, the northern counties were harassed more frequently. Led by the rebel general Zhao Xin, he actually released a word that the Han army did not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu in the desert except for a sneak attack, and deliberately stimulated the nerves of the border soldiers, with the purpose of luring the Han army out of the city.

The Huns are no longer like before, no matter how high the city is or how deep the pool is, they will rush for a while, or rob or kill, without ambiguity. Now, they have changed their strategy, many people think that it was the battle of Hexi that scared them, but Liu Che didn't see it that way, yes, the Han army won a complete victory in the battle of Hexi, but the evil king Hugh Tu Wang and the like were not the main force of the Huns, his single head of the people, plus the people and horses of King Zuoxian, hundreds of thousands of iron horses, that is the real main force of the Huns, just imagine, you haven't even touched the side of other people's main forces, but others are afraid of you, where does fear come from?

Liu Che's mind is very clear, now is the time to launch a big war, when there is no accurate information, in the face of all the harassment, he asks the border generals to stick to it.

He spent decades clearing the periphery of the Han-Hungarian decisive battle, and he was not afraid of waiting for another three and a half years, and this battle would either not be fought or a battle would be decided.

In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanzhan (119 BC), after two years of dormancy and forbearance, Liu Che suddenly summoned the generals to the palace.

"The rebel general Zhao Xin often gave advice to Yi Zhi, and lightly said that our army can't fight in the desert," Liu Che paused deliberately, wanting to see the reaction of the generals, only to see that Wei Qing was still standing solemnly, and Huo Quzhi's eyes were still showing a desire to go to the battlefield, and some of the other generals were angry and scolded Zhao Xinxiao'er, and some whispered, Liu Che smiled, "In this way, my army will definitely be able to catch the Hu people off guard." ”

As soon as everyone heard it, the emperor's intention was to send troops, and they all immediately geared up, and lived a peaceful life for two years, saying something unpleasant, the days were as idle as fart, and the swords and guns faded out, and now there can be a war again, how can you not be happy, and listen to the emperor's meaning, this time not only to fight, but also to fight, in this way, wouldn't it be better, a big fight can make a great contribution!

The generals were overjoyed, Huo Quai's eyes were even brighter, he seemed to be impatient, and he was about to fly to the battlefield. In contrast, Wei Qing still had a solemn face, and his slightly tightened brows had revealed his thoughts.

Of course, these can't be hidden from Liu Che's sharp eyes, Wei Qing must be thinking about who will go on the expedition, since Huo Qubing became famous in the first battle, he deliberately hid Wei Qing, although Liu Che did not doubt Wei Qing's strength, but Wei Qing's cautious words and deeds made him taboo three points, especially after his sister Princess Pingyang married Wei Qing, his taboo was deeper, a genius general plus a resourceful woman, what a terrible power it would be! Liu Che has always understood that there is no family affection under the imperial power, only games, if the relatives are strong, the relatives will interfere in politics, and if the courtiers are strong, the courtiers will interfere in politics.

In Liu Che's heart, such a concept has been deeply rooted, and we will see in the future that it will be like a virus, and when Liu Che can't control it, it can only bring about one suffocating tragedy after another.

Huo Qu's illness is different, Liu Che can see him inside and out, Huo Qu's disease is like Liu Che's child, no parent will not understand their children's minds, for Huo Qu's disease, only rest assured, a hundred rest assured.

But the stakes are very high, and Liu Che's goal is very clear, he needs more than just victory, he needs to completely defeat the Huns and never suffer in the future.

The overall situation of the war is related to the fate of the country, and it is natural to have a general who can control the overall situation, not only to find a way to eliminate the main force of the Huns, but also to find a way to deal with the aftermath, how to deal with the surrender of the soldiers and the people, and how to appease the people in the war zone? Huo Qubing naturally can't do it, he can't even treat his subordinates equally, how can he treat the enemy's soldiers and people.

Therefore, in this battle, Wei Qing must go out, Wei Qing controls the armies, and Huo Qu is sick and fights Yi Zhixian.

Liu Che had been brewing for this decisive battle for a long time, so he already had a plan in his heart, and this time he even thought about the route for the generals.

"General, listen to orders!"

Wei Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, "The minister is here." ”

"Order you to lead 50,000 cavalry out of Dai County."

"Wechen obeys."

"Gongsun He, Zhao Shiqi, Cao Xiang listens to orders."

"The end will be."

"Gongsun He is the left general, Zhao Shiqi is the right general, Cao Xiang is the rear general, and the general leader is 100,000 infantry troops, all of whom belong to the generals."

"Order!"

"The hussar general listens to orders."

Huo Quai's illness came out of the ranks, "The end will be!" ”

"Let you lead 50,000 soldiers who dare to fight, and make a decision to attack Shan Yu."

"Order!"

After Liu Che finished appointing, he waved his hand and told them to go down and prepare separately and set off on a certain day.

The generals withdrew from the palace one after another, and Liu Che was about to go back to the dormitory, only to see a white-haired old general who refused to go out, and he hurriedly said to Liu Che, your old man forgot me.

Liu Che saw that it was Li Guang, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, saying that the general was old, so he should live at home.

Li Guang refused to live or die, and put on a posture of kneeling to death on the hall without giving an errand, Liu Che could only give him a position as a former general with a headache and let him continue to be his striker.

Although Chang'an City in spring is a little cool, it is the time for everything to recover, and no one would have thought that a big war is quietly brewing, and hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers are already ready to fly, just waiting for an order to go with the wind.
