Wang Jing ordered Wei Qing to lead an army of 70,000 to the north to attack the Xiongnu, and ordered Zhao Jie to transfer 10,000 cavalry from the Southern Xiongnu Zhonglang to protect the Xiongnu, and then the army went out of Shuofang to attack the Xiongnu in the north.

Wei Qing received the order and began to prepare grain and grass for the expedition, and at this time, a rather heroic young man walked in, he looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, his body was full of a high-spirited temperament, as soon as he entered the door, he shouted:

"Uncle, you promised me last time that you would take me with you when you went on another expedition!"

This person is Wei Qing's nephew, Huo Quai. Huo Qubing has lived with Wei Qing since he was a child, and often heard about his uncle leading the army to defeat the Huns, and regarded Wei Qing as a role model, and set up his ambition to destroy the Huns since he was a child.

In the past, he repeatedly wanted to follow Wei Qing to the Northern Expedition of the Huns, but he was rejected because he was not old enough, and then he couldn't stand his pleas, so Wei Qing promised to take him with him in the next Northern Expedition.

Wei Qing saw that Huo Qubing had the ambition to defeat the Huns, so he vigorously cultivated him, thinking that he would let him enter the army in the future and inherit his connections in the army.

Now that Huo Qubing is seventeen years old, he should indeed go to the battlefield to feel and see the world, he is now promoted to hussar general, and he is only one step away from being promoted to general.

The general Han Xin is already old, ready to return to his hometown, and when the time comes, he will definitely be the commander of the army, as long as he takes Huo Qubing with him and gives him a scout captain, there will be no danger at all.

So he directly agreed: "Since this is the case, then you will go out with the army, but you have to remember that the army is not at home, and everything obeys the military orders!" ”

"Whoa!" Hearing this, Huo Qu was overjoyed and immediately bowed.

Huo Quzhi promised very well, but in his heart, he was thinking, this time he must make a career!

The army went out, and Wei Qing appointed Huo Qubing as the captain of the military academy, and commanded thousands of elite cavalry to accompany the army.

After preparing all kinds of logistical baggage, Wei Qing commanded the army to go north, this time the Huns went south, Wei Qing was ready to give these Huns a big surprise.

The tent of the large barracks.

Wei Qing began to assign tasks, tens of thousands of troops did not gather in one place, and Daqian has been pursuing a policy of elite soldiers over the years, which has been handed down from the Huaiguo era.

Wei Qing began to assign tasks, first the generals from all walks of life received orders and assigned tasks. After the generals received the task, they left quickly, leaving only Huo Qubing still in the big tent.

Seeing that everyone was gone, leaving only himself without a task, Huo Qu was in a hurry, and stepped forward and said, "Dashuai, the lowly position has not been assigned a task yet." ”

Wei Qing originally planned to let him stay in the Chinese army, but seeing his eager eyes, he still relented, so he said: "The more than 1,000 elite cavalry you led are elite, suitable for serving as scouts, then send Ling to investigate the movements of the Huns, remember not to leave the army too far, and report the news to the army immediately." ”

According to his idea, it is to let him move around the army, and after the army and the Huns go to war, just follow him, basically let him follow the merits, and when the merits are accumulated enough, he can be promoted.

Wei Qing is calm with his soldiers, never takes risks, and commands the army like an arm, and he will definitely be able to make contributions by following the army.

Huo Quzhi suddenly said happily: "Don't worry, the humble duty will definitely explore the traces of the Huns, and the humble duty will set off." ”

As he spoke, he turned and left the tent, not saying a word about the military order that had him around the army.

Huo Quzhi led the army out of the camp, did not stay around the army at all, and directly led a thousand elite horsemen to the north, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared on the vast grassland.

Wei Qing didn't expect that he was just a military order, and Huo Qu ran away when he was sick.

"General, where are we going?" One of the guards asked.

"Naturally, it is directly inserted into the court of the Huns!" Huo Quzhi said loudly.

"General, we only have a thousand people, isn't it too risky to go straight to the court of the Huns?"

"The Huns must think the same way, although our army is thousands, but the Huns army will pay attention to the army, and we will take the opportunity to give them a ruthless blow!" Huo Quzhi said confidently.

"When the time comes, make great contributions, glorify the ancestors, and seal the wife and son!"

Everyone looked at each other, and immediately saluted Huo Quai: "Huh! ”

Huo Qubing led the army directly to the north, I have to say that Huo Qubing was born as if he could fight, and led a thousand elite cavalry to go around in a circle, avoiding the rangers on the periphery of the Huns, and continued to go north.

Naturally, such a powerful crusade could not be concealed from the Huns, and the Huns recovered their strength after a long period of recuperation. He also plundered a large number of people from the northwest, and now the country is strong.

After learning of the Northern Expedition of the Great Qianren, some of the Huns subconsciously wanted to escape. It was really the defeat of the Xiongnu that year was so miserable that almost three-quarters of their strength was destroyed.

The king of the Xiongnu was furious and directly ordered the Xiongnu army to prepare to meet the enemy and fight to the death with the great cadres.

Huo Quzhi led the army to a detour of thousands of miles, and then turned to the north. By detour, the Huns' army was successfully bypassed. The Huns did not send any scouts to the north, after all, the Great Cadre army was marching north from the south.

What's more, further north on the grassland is the North Sea and forest and snow fields.

It's just that the king of the Huns never imagined that someone would attack after a long detour.

"Charge!"

Huo Qu's illness came very quickly, and there were almost no obvious road signs on the vast grassland, but he found the vicinity of the Xiongnu royal court like an old horse.

The speed of a thousand elite cavalry was extremely fast, and before the Huns could react, the great elite cavalry had already rushed up. The cavalry rushed into the camp, the long knives swept through, and one Hun after another was hacked and killed.

The galloping horse didn't give them any time to react at all, but in the blink of an eye, they rushed to the front of them, and the next second the Hun felt a pain in his neck, and the strength on his body quickly disappeared, and finally fell into darkness.

The army quickly passed through the camp, and the whole camp was completely one-sided slaughter, Huo Quzhi took the big Qianjing cavalry to quickly kill the surrounding Huns.

The sound of fighting gradually died down, and the entire camp was littered with corpses, and blood went deep into the earth, making the surrounding land slippery and muddy. The horses paced above the mud, looking a little impatient.

Huo Qubing pacified the war horse, then took out some bean cakes to feed it, and several soldiers hurried over and said happily: "General, this is a subordinate tribe of the Xiongnu King, I have asked it clearly just now, and it is only thirty miles away from the Xiongnu King's court." ”

"And this tribe is really rich, no less than 100,000 cattle and sheep, and a lot of gold and silver."

When Huo Qubing heard this, his brows furrowed, and he hurriedly looked around, most of the soldiers were happily loading things on their respective horses. His face changed slightly, and he immediately said loudly: "Immediately send an order to the whole army, assemble the team in a quarter of an hour, set off with only some dry food, and leave all those baggage, cattle and sheep behind!" ”

When everyone heard this order, they were reluctant in their hearts, but the order of the great cadres was like a mountain, and even if they were dissatisfied, the soldiers still carried it out.

Huo Quzhi saw that the soldiers were dissatisfied and immediately said: "Brothers, we are now deep in the hinterland of the Huns, surrounded by Xiongnu tribes, there are many dangers, how to hurry with these cattle and sheep, how to hurry, will soon be discovered by the Huns, and then we will die without a place to bury!" ”

"Besides, we have already touched the side of the Xiongnu royal court, as long as we add a little more force, the next thing is to seal the wife and the shadow, what to do and still need me to teach?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they almost broke the big thing, what are these gold, silver, cattle and sheep? As long as the Xiongnu court is broken, when the time comes, what do you want?

Collecting heavy gold and silver jewellery here is a complete waste of time.

After Huo Quzhi finished speaking, he directly grabbed a piece of barbecue meat and devoured it, and the others immediately discarded the gold and silver on the war horses, and found barbecue water to eat it quickly.

The heralds beside him also hurried forward to give the order, and soon the soldiers abandoned their baggage, took out their food and began to eat quickly, and by a quarter of an hour all the soldiers had been assembled.

Seeing that the soldiers had completed the assembly, and everyone had discarded their baggage, gold and silver, Huo Qubing nodded slightly, waved his arm, and immediately led the army to continue to advance towards the Xiongnu royal court.

The morale-boosted Daqian Iron Cavalry set off again, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled. The raid wiped out a tribe, and the casualties of the Great Qianjing cavalry were not high. And after a short rest, a quick replenishment of food and water, morale is high and full of energy.

At the same time, the main force of the Great Cadre had also come into contact with the Xiongnu vanguard, and after learning that the Great Cadre army had been found, the King of the Xiongnu sent people to entangle with the Great Cadre army on the one hand, and sent a partial division on the other hand, hoping to make a detour to the rear and cut off the logistics of the Great Cadre army.

In the face of this situation, Wei Qing was not afraid at all, the army advanced steadily, and was not greedy for merit, and at the same time let the right army go to block the Xiongnu division.

The Huns and Wei Qing fought several times and did not take any advantage. Instead, some people were swallowed by Wei Qing.

Seeing this situation, the king of the Huns immediately gathered a large army and wanted to surround the Weiqing army. Seeing this situation, Wei Qing immediately led his army to fight against it, and the king of the Huns wanted to surround it several times, but Wei Qing repelled both wings. Not only did they not encircle the cadres, but they suffered a lot of losses.

And when the Xiongnu King and Wei Qing were fighting, Huo Qubing finally found the location of the Xiongnu royal court.

Huo Quzhi saw that the defense of the Xiongnu royal court was not rigorous, and immediately laughed: "What a godsend!" ”

"Brothers, make meritorious contributions, seal your wife and son only in the present day, rush with me!"

Immediately, there was a loud shout, and the 1,000 elite horsemen behind him immediately moved, and the army rushed straight like a torrent of steel. Everyone was excited, and they knew very well what they were up against.

The charge was soon discovered by the Huns, and the guards of the Xiongnu court rushed over to stop it. As a result, after the distance between the two armies was thirty paces, all the great horsemen turned their palms over, and all of them took out a well-wound bow and crossbow.

Then he shot out at the rushing Huns, and in an instant, a dull bowstring sounded, and the royal court guards immediately fell to the ground. The big cadres directly tore apart the battle formation and rushed in, and the next thing was a good slaughter.
