Chapter 177: The War Begins! Instant rout!
Not long ago, Qin Tian felt something in his heart, as if something related to him was about to happen.
As soon as his mind moved, his divine consciousness came to the place where his inspiration was touched, and he just finished watching the conversation between Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi.
Speaking of which, Qin Tian actually didn't know the relationship between Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
That's what most people know about history.
If it weren't for hearing Huo Qubing call Wei Qing's uncle, Qin Tian didn't expect that the two famous generals in history would have such a relationship.
Zhao Ping naturally knew that he left Qin Tian with the fruit that day, but he didn't expect that this fruit had gone through thousands of mountains and rivers and finally arrived in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
For this reason, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also deliberately asked people to start looking for immortals.
However, Qin Tian didn't feel that his next life would be affected.
If he didn't want to see anyone else, no one would be able to find him.
Therefore, he did not make any moves, but according to his original plan, he opened a hospital to treat the sick and save people.
When the clinic opened the next day, the people around were very curious.
In this era, most of the common people did not have the conditions and qualifications to seek medical treatment, and only occasionally encountered people such as barefoot doctors had the opportunity to ask for a bowl of talisman water to drink.
Like this kind of medical hall that looks very formal, how dare ordinary people walk in.
Not to mention taking medicine, I'm afraid they won't even be able to pay for the consultation!
No one came to seek medical treatment, and Qin Tian was happy and leisurely.
Every day is not to read books, but to write and paint, and the right is to cultivate sentiment.
Cultivation should not be done behind closed doors all the time, and there is tension and relaxation as the right path.
Since he inherited the affection of the Heavenly Dao, Qin Tian naturally wanted to make some contributions to this world.
Therefore, he planned to write a simple but effective medical book, which did not need to deal with any incurable diseases, but only needed to be able to treat the most common headache and brain fever.
Crucially, the medicines used to treat diseases should be easy to obtain and affordable even for the general public.
This is not difficult for Qin Tian, if he wants, he can write it in only half a day.
It's just that he is not in a hurry, he has the right to be a pastime, and he writes two strokes when he remembers.
The rest of the time, Qin Tian was either studying Go or drawing some mountains, rivers and rivers.
This is also a kind of practice!
Calligraphy and painting can calm people's moods, and in the process of calligraphy and painting, Qin Tian can also integrate his divine consciousness into his works.
At first, his skills were not good, and he was not known among ordinary people.
But soon, Qin Tian grasped the essence of it.
As the saying goes, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.
The same is true for the cultivation path.
No matter what kind of skill it is, as long as you cultivate it to the extreme, you can communicate with heaven and earth, and the so-called skill is close to the Tao, which is the case.
Qin Tian's talent in painting is not high, but who makes him have a trace of heavenly aura around him?
With Xiaobai here, no matter what he cultivates, it will have a bit of a multiplier effect with half the effort.
He can even gain insights directly from Xiaobai, and then hone his skills in turn.
When others cultivate, they cross the river by feeling the stones, and they don't even know where the end is.
But Qin Tian was much simpler, he reached the end first, and then turned around and went in the direction of the key point again.
Even if he had to cross the river by feeling the stones, his path was much clearer in comparison.
At first, it was just to pass the time, but Qin Tian gradually found some fun in calligraphy and painting.
He began to immerse himself in the world of painting, obsessed with using brushstrokes to gently depict everything he saw on the paper.
There is a true meaning between the mountains and rivers.
Occasionally, he would go out for a few days to see the surrounding mountains and rivers and experience the fun of the mountains and rivers for himself.
Sitting and watching the sea of clouds surging can also bring Qin Tian a different feeling.
……
After fooling His Majesty, Wei Qing got up and went to the border pass.
Recently, the Huns have been very restless, which has cast a shadow on Wei Qing's heart.
Now Wei Qing has even gotten the news that the Huns are heading south and invading Shanggu County!
When the news came back, the world was in an uproar!
Liu Che also attached great importance to this war and personally deployed a strategic plan!
Dahan has never been a weak person who has been beaten and dare not fight back!
In order to show his determination to fight against the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly ordered a four-way army under the border pass!
Wei Qing himself is in charge of Shanggu County!
And the cavalry general Gongsun Ao set off from Daijun and was responsible for the response!
At the same time, there was also the light car general Gongsun He sent troops from the clouds, and the Xiaocai general Li Guang sent troops from Yanmen.
These four generals, each leading 10,000 cavalry, met the Huns!
It was said that there were only 10,000 people, but this was a full 10,000 cavalry!
There are more than 10,000 people, and there are boundless, not to mention that each of the 10,000 cavalry has two or three horses
The army is open, it really covers the sky and the sun, and it is mighty!
And then as soon as the war began, it gave everyone a head-on blow!
First of all, Gongsun He was greedy for merit, and without waiting for the friendly army to respond, he went deep into the enemy camp, because he gave the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, and returned defeated!
Then there is Gongsun Ao, who originally planned to ambush the enemy, and if the ambush is successful, it will open up the situation for the friendly army!
and even opened the curtain of the counterattack on the Huns in one fell swoop!
But I don't know if it was a leak or some other reason, the enemy did not appear in the expected ambush circle.
If it weren't for Gongsun Ao, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered a retreat, and maybe even would be surrounded by the enemy!
If even he is defeated all the way, I am afraid that this counterattack on the Huns will already be more than lucky!
War is not child's play, in order to be able to successfully ambush the enemy, Gongsun Ao made a lot of preparations.
This time there is no success, you can only regain your strength, re-raise grain and grass, and prepare the army, and you will no longer have the ability to attack in a short time!
The border passes are not like the Central Plains, with fertile and vast plains, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate here.
Therefore, the diet of the border soldiers mainly relied on the support of the Central Plains court.
But along the way, people eat horses and chew, how much is consumed?
Often ten bags of rice are transported to the border gate, and only one or two bags are left!
Therefore, it takes a lot of money to maintain the armament of the border passes, and the army is allocated once, and it is all a knife on the treasury of the imperial court!
This wasted so much grain and grass, but it was in vain, and I could only return to the same place to garrison.
At least Gongsun Ao did not return defeated, which is also a blessing in misfortune!
Defeated all the way, all the way back without success, did not make the other two have too many fluctuations in their hearts.
Officially, because the situation was not favorable to them, Wei Qing did not take the initiative to attack, and he had to be more stable at this time!
If you are greedy for merit, I am afraid that this counterattack on the Huns will never succeed again!
I missed this opportunity, and I want to have a similar opportunity next time, I'm afraid I don't know when I'm going to go!
But Li Guang is different, he thinks this is the best opportunity.
It is precisely because the friendly army is useless that his importance can be highlighted!
Li Guang is quite clever, and the world thinks he is a famous general, but in fact, Li Guang himself has no outstanding achievements.
As a warrior, he is absolutely qualified, and can even be called brave, but as a general, his ability is about to put a question mark!
Li Guang first joined the army as a son of a good family, and when dealing with the Xiongnu, he made great achievements in war, and killed many enemies, so he was made an official.
He himself went from Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and then to the current Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, following three emperors in a row.
Because he himself was indeed very brave, every emperor appreciated him very much!
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty even said: "If you weren't born at the right time, born in the generation of Emperor Gaozu, what would it be to be a marquis of ten thousand households?" ”
Li Guang kept this sentence in his heart from then on, and he wanted to be a marquis in this life!
But the problem is that it didn't take long for the emperor to find out where the upper limit of this person's ability was.
As a soldier, he is definitely a good soldier, but as a general, he can only say that he has more than enough to defend and not enough to enter.
Therefore, after two generations of emperors, Li Guang still did not achieve his wish to be a marquis!
The main thing is that this person really doesn't have any too famous records!
After Wei Qinghuo went to illness, he was crowned a marquis, and he was defeated by the enemy, but what about Li Guang, the world said that he fought bravely, which is indeed true.
But if you want to be a marquis, it's not enough to just be brave in battle!
Li Guang also knew it, but the country's invasion of the Xiongnu could only be passively defended.
There are occasional sorties, and the results are not good!
During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang's most famous experience was to be outnumbered, scare away the enemy army, and successfully escape.
But that's about it.
In order to allow himself to have a truly effective record, Li Guang decided that he must shine in this attack!
Wei Qing obviously knew what his colleague was thinking, so he also specially asked people to send a letter, asking Li Guang not to act rashly!
However, after Li Guang read the secret letter, he sneered and threw it away!
"Don't act rashly? If you don't move, do you want to give you all the credit? ”
Li Guang believes that this is the best time to attack!
Although Gongsun He returned from a big defeat, it also consumed the enemy's vital strength, and the enemy had just won the battle, so he would obviously be very relaxed, at least not too much movement in the short term.
After the battle, the soldiers have to repair and reward, and they have to prepare for the next battle, so they don't have to think about the enemy army on this road.
On the other hand, the enemy army did not appear in the place originally expected, and presumably moved to other places.
Now Li Guang only has to face the enemy army on his own side.
Of course, he is not a reckless person, if he rashly attacks and is surrounded by the enemy, he is afraid that he will definitely be defeated!
Therefore, he decided to stay still for the time being, and first investigate the movements of the enemy army on the other road.
Let's see if the enemy is going to besiege Wei Qing or go somewhere else!
Wei Qing saw that Li Guang did not act rashly, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this colleague was not carried away by fame and fortune, otherwise I am afraid that the situation will really become extremely difficult now.
But Wei Qing hadn't relaxed for a few days before he got the news of Li Guangjun's allocation!
"How dare he?" Wei Qing was suddenly shocked!
In the past few days, he has also been constantly probing the movements of the enemy, trying to find out the specific movements of the enemy.
Among the four road armies, one of them has already retreated to the grassland, and it seems that they are ready to be rewarded for meritorious deeds!
Obviously, the enemy thinks that the remaining troops are enough to deal with the Great Han!
But in addition to the enemy on his own side, the movements of the enemy troops on the other two roads are very ambiguous.
They looked like they would be separated at any moment, but they didn't really split their troops.
They only left a small group of enemy troops to harass Gongsun Ao, and after confirming that Gongsun Ao was no longer able to mobilize troops on a large scale, they became even more unscrupulous!
At this time, the safest way is naturally to merge the two sides together, or stand still!
The Han army needs to consume grain and grass, and the enemy is the same, as long as it drags on, the advantage must be on their side!
It won't take too long, even if it only drags on for a month or two, and the support of the imperial court is coming.
Second, this can also give Gongsun Ao time to regain his strength.
They just need to drag it out and they can turn the tide of things around.
But now Li Guang took the initiative to attack and pushed the situation into the abyss all of a sudden!
Wei Qing couldn't help but have a headache.
Although Li Guang is greedy for merit, he doesn't look like a person who doesn't understand military affairs at all, and he doesn't know why Li Guang would make such a rash move!
……
Looking at the smug army behind him, a hint of smugness appeared on Li Guang's face.
After the investigation of the spies in the past few days, Li Guang felt that he had completely grasped the enemy's movements.
If the two armies were about to leave, they would send people to harass him from time to time, and even lure him deep into the enemy army, how could Li Guang not see this.
But he never sent troops, not because he was afraid, not because he was waiting for the support of the imperial court.
Li Guang is waiting for an opportunity!
He knew that the enemy was tempting the enemy, but Li Guang was confident that with his own ability, he would be able to handle such a situation!
He's waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an enemy to relax!
And now, when he learned the information recently sent by the spies, he immediately commanded the army to set off!
The army has always been on the lookout and ready to move.
After so many days of recuperation, morale has reached its peak!
In this sortie, as long as the battle is quickly resolved, the enemy army is quickly defeated, and then the enemy can turn back to the city at a gallop, and the enemy has no way to take him!
Before that, he sent a small force of cavalry to harass the enemy's army formation, trying to separate the enemy's army.
This is completely dangerous, and if he succeeds, it will be enough to leave a lie that will be passed down through the ages!
If you can use this method of small forces to harass and constantly invade to separate the enemy's main forces and break them one by one, it will be an unprecedented victory!
Therefore, the feudal marquis is naturally not a problem!
But how could things go as smoothly as Li Guang imagined?
Xiongnu Shan Yu naturally knows Li Guang's fame, and he is naturally very careful when dealing with this person!
Therefore, the Hun army did not attack rashly, but mainly harassed, wanting to ensure that nothing went wrong!
And in the midst of this pull, Li Guang's sudden attack was indeed a surprise to the one.
He didn't expect that Li Guang would dare to send troops like this, and for a while, there was a bit of chaos!
In order to ensure that Li Guang could be secured, Shan Yu mobilized all the troops together, and even sat in the battle in person, in order to win this famous general!
He admired Li Guang's talent very much, and even hoped to be able to use it for himself.
And it is precisely because of this kind of caution that the strength of his army is several times that of Li Guang, with these people guarding him, he can relax and even ask his subordinates to capture Li Guang alive!
