In addition, there were 140,000 baggage horses brought by the officers and soldiers, as well as hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers to transport grain and grass behind.

These hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers are tantamount to a mobile logistics supply base. Such an arrangement would allow the Han army to maintain both mobility and durability, as if it were fighting at home.

The only drawback is that the cost is too great, Liu Che is hollowing out the whole country to fight a war, if he doesn't win, he will be a sinner through the ages, and Wei Huo and other famous generals will also be defiled for future generations, and all the British names will be lost in one day.

So, we must win, and we must win big. Otherwise, I am not only sorry for the people of the world, but also for the entire history of China.

In the face of such a critical battle, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the following military deployments:

First: The great general Wei Qing led the former general Li Guang, the left general Gongsun He, the right general Zhao Shiqi, the later general Cao Xiang, and the captain Gongsun Ao, who was guilty of meritorious service, with 50,000 cavalry out of the county, far away from the desert, and asked the main force of Zuo Xianwang for a decisive battle.

Wei Qing, who has lived at home for four years, once again came out of the sheath; Li Guang, who always had no chance to make meritorious contributions, finally got the heavy responsibility of being a striker.

Second: by the hussar general Huo Qubing led the captains Li Kang and Xu Ziwei, and the powerful old comrades-in-arms from the Huhou Zhao Ponu, so the Huns in Hexi surrendered to the king of Yinchun to the land branch, the king of Louzhuan Yi Jijing, and the marquis of Changwu Zhao Anji, with 50,000 cavalry out of Dingxiang County, deep into the rear of the Xiongnu, looking for the main force of Yizhi to fight a decisive battle.

Huo Quai's 50,000 cavalry were all men who dared to fight deeply, and a large part of the Xiongnu soldiers returned to righteousness. This is the trump card of the Han army's trump card, and it should deal with the trump card of the Xiongnu Shan Yu main force.

What's more, Zhao Xin, the first strategist under Yi Zhixian, has followed Wei Qing for many years, and he knows Wei Qing's tactics too well, and once they fight, the outcome is unpredictable. And Huo Quzhi is unrestrained and unrestrained with his soldiers, and he is the biggest nemesis of Yi Zhixian and Zhao Xin.

In short, the two-way army, from handsome to general to soldier to war horse, is the absolute elite of the empire, and this is the real all-star lineup.

During this time, because of the expedition, Huo Qubing stayed in the barracks almost every day, and I didn't want to be separated from him, so I pretended to be his personal soldier and followed him as before.

Before the expedition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally came to Huo Quai's barracks to inspect. The army was ready to go, and the high morale made Emperor Wu of Han nod again and again.

He said to Huo Quai: "Go to the sick, this time I left you a benefit, I left the Hun Dadan Yu to you, you have to beat me hard!" ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Your Majesty, please put it down, you will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" ”

Emperor Wu of Han inspected the army, pointed to a short and thin soldier and asked, "Why does this look different from others?" ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Your Majesty, this is a veterinarian in the army. The army goes out on a campaign, and if the horses get sick, they will be in trouble. Don't look at his small stature, he can not only fight, but also treat horses. ”

Emperor Wu of Han nodded, "Not bad!" Walking forward, he pointed to a soldier and said, "This kid is really dark!" ”

Huo Quzhi said: "His nose is famous, in the vast desert, he can easily find the water source with the breath of water brought by the wind. The last battle in Hexi was all up to him in the desert. ”

Emperor Wu of Han smiled: "There is really a way. Hehe! This person looks like a Huns, huh? ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Your Majesty is right, he is a Huns." Look at his special weapons. ”
