Huo Wuji looked at the handsome man called Ah Qi in disbelief, what kind of person is this person?

Can the three royal elites call him the young master, could it be that he is a member of the Western Qin royal family?

The heavy sword in Ah Qi's hand, which was more than one person high, split into two long swords at this moment, and suddenly shortened into two short swords, which looked very light, and returned to the scabbard on his left and right waists with two "swishs".

"Thank you for this brother's righteous action, I don't know what to call it?" Ah Qi summoned the three people who were kneeling on the ground, and smiled at Huo Wuji, "Brother Tai has been staring at him, but what's wrong?"

Huo Wujian hurriedly said: "The next surname is Huo Wuji, but after seeing that my brother Tai is extraordinary, I think it must be a famous family, I can't help but look at it a few more times, and I hope that Brother Tai is not to blame!"

One of the three of Ah Qihou suddenly said: "Your Excellency is the 'Zhenxi General' under General Meng, and the pioneer general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Huo Wuji?"

Huo Wujian was shocked in his heart, he had just taken up the post of pioneer general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion half a month ago, and the imperial court documents had not yet been issued, how did this person know?

"It's Huo, but the will of the court has not arrived, and Huo is not a pioneer general at this moment. Brother Tai is very well informed!"

The man said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Huo, who has admired his name for a long time! General Huo does not need to be suspicious, we pay more attention to the border war, and many people have learned that General Huo has been appointed as the pioneer of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. ”

"Since the battle of 'Hexi Burning City', the mountain tribes have not flinched, and have appeared within the border one after another, although the number of natives is not as good as the battle of 'Hexi Burning City', but each battle is extremely difficult. ”

"It is not advisable for General Meng to move more when he sits in the border city, so the tasks of these four conquests have been handed over to General Huo. General Huo has won a hundred battles, and he has already become famous in Western Qin!"

Huo Wuji's face turned red, and he didn't dare to say again.

Ah Qi smiled and said: "The three people who followed me are named Wei Da, Wei Xin, and Wei Qi, come, I have seen General Huo!"

The three of them simply hugged their fists towards Huo Wuji, even if they had saluted.

Huo Wuji didn't care about this kind of false courtesy, but just asked in surprise: "I don't know who these big men with single knives are, why do you want to kill those refugees?"

Ah Qi's face changed slightly, and he sighed: "Their target is not refugees, but us. Before, they shot at the refugees, but for bī) we are now. ”

Huo Wuji said angrily: "There are such vicious people in the world!"

Ah Qi shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more, changed the topic and asked, "But I don't know why General Huo came here alone?"

Huo Wuji's face was worried: "This Great Xia Dynasty is in endless civil strife, and countless peasant households have become refugees, pouring into Western Qin, and going straight to the border of the 'First Line of Heaven'. Although this place is rich, it can't withstand so many refugees, I'm afraid that in a few months, the supply of 'first-line sky' will exceed demand, and it will even affect the supply of the army, and the Western Qin will be in danger at that time!"

"I relented for a while, scattered all the military funds, and even repatriated the soldiers who accompanied me. Now, I think this refugee is very problematic, and I must find out!"

Ah Qi was stunned: "You have exhausted the military funds?"

"Yes!"

"What should the front-line soldiers do?"

"This batch is a reserve military fund, and there is plenty of food and grass on the front line, so there will be no problems in the next year or two. ”

"Even so, embezzlement of military funds without authorization is a capital offense, don't you know?"

"Yes!"

"Know you still do?"

Huo Wuji's expression was straight at this moment, and he said awe-inspiringly: "What are we front-line soldiers, far away from our homeland, fighting bloodily?"

Ah Qi Zhengse said: "I am defending the family and the country!"

"But now that the people are in trouble and starving all over the wilderness, can I, in order to protect myself, watch my compatriots die and call for the defense of the country?

"Even if it kills you?"

Huo Wujian laughed and said: "If Huo can save tens of thousands of people with one life, he will die a well-deserved death!"

"That's why you repatriated all the soldiers on the border because you didn't want to affect them. ”

"Not bad. Huo can't ask everyone to think like me, they have wives and children at home to support, so I naturally can't force them to die. But Huo is alone, why not be afraid of life and death. ”

Ah Qi's eyes lit up, but he said: "But you are still young, you have excellent ability to command the army and manage the army, and your future prospects are limitless." A good man naturally wants to make contributions and has his own ideals, how can he lose his life because of the kindness of a woman for a while?"

Huo Wuji sighed: "I don't know. My family is well-off, but I just watched the people of Western Qin suffer from the cruelty of the mountain tribes, and I couldn't bear to see them suffer, so I scattered all my family wealth, and I could save one by one. ”

"When I was destitute, I went to join the army, and from then on I made a vow to drive out the barbarians and restore eternal peace to my mountain. But an ideal is an ideal after all, and after so many years, I know that this matter is as difficult as the sky. ”

"My original intention is just to help the suffering people, as for how much I can save and how long I can save it, who knows? The battlefield is changing rapidly, maybe I Huo Wujian will die on the battlefield tomorrow, but now that I have the ability to rescue the refugees, how can I stand idly by?"

"The horse leather shroud is death, and disobeying military orders is death. The former is glorious, the latter is shameless, but I never care about these, I just hope that I can act according to my heart in this life, never forget the original intention, although I have no regrets in death!"

Huo Wuji's expression was calm, his eyes were clear, and a wordless momentum suddenly rose from his face.

Don't forget the original intention, although you have no regrets!

This remark seemed to touch the three generals of Wei Da, Wei Xin, and Wei Qi, and they put away their contemptuous hearts, looked at Huo Wujian seriously, and respected them.

Ah Qi's expression at the moment seemed to be sad, but also seemed to be happy, looking at Huo Wuji's shadow, he muttered in a low voice: "Fifteenth brother, fifteenth brother, I seem to see your shadow today, you really see, like!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Ah Qi suddenly said: "The little military money you have on is like a drop in the bucket in the face of these countless refugees, and it is useless at all!"

Huo Wuji sighed: "That's true. ”

"You said there was a problem with this refugee?"

"Yes!

How did this refugee escape from under the iron hooves and cross the Bactria border to get here?"

"This refugee didn't escape, but was driven out!" Ah Qi sighed, as if in pain.

Huo Wujian was shocked, and thought of his previous terrible thoughts again, and lost his voice: "Could it be ......"

Ah Qi said in a deep voice: "If this refugee increases tenfold, what will happen to Xiqin?"

"That's definitely the disaster of destroying the country!" Huo Wuji suddenly became anxious, "I see, I see, this is the plan of the Great Xia Imperial Court! The cavalry of the Emperor Qi was actually used to expel the rebellious peasant households, which turned these peasant peasants into refugees, and came to the destruction of Western Qin......!

"Unless Western Qin closes the border, erects a high wall, and no longer accepts a single refugee from the Great Xia Dynasty!" Ah Qi's voice was a little lower again, "In this way, we can only watch these refugees starve to death and die of disease on top of the high wall." Perhaps the Emperor of Western Qin could be more ruthless and slaughter all the refugees, and the crisis would be resolved. ”

Ah Qi stared at Huo Wuji's eyes and suddenly asked, "If it were up to you to choose, what would you do?" Would you watch countless refugees die, or let Western Qin perish?"

Huo Wuji's heart suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he knew that he couldn't answer this question.

If there are two groups of people, you can choose to let one group live and one group die, how do you choose?

Maybe you will choose a group of people with a small number of people to die and a group of people with a large number of people to live, but if a group of people with a small number of people has their parents, wives and children, how will you choose?

After a while, Huo Wujian gritted his teeth and said, "It's not the last moment yet, you must not give up." This matter must be reported to the Emperor of Western Qin as soon as possible, and many small countries must be united to put pressure on Emperor Qi, which may have an effect. It's just that I, Huo Wuji, only know how to lead the army to fight, and I don't know how to use political means. ”

Ah Qi shook his head and said, "It's useless to unite small countries!"

Huo Wuji was stunned and said: "If you don't unite with small countries, do you want to unite with Dayu? Doesn't this amount to collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"

Ah Qi laughed and said, "You are really only suitable for leading the army to fight!"

Huo Wuji's expression was straight, and he clasped his fists towards Ah Qi and saluted: "The seventh brother has outstanding intelligence and extraordinary conversation, and I ask the seventh brother to teach me." ”

Ah Qiwen smiled: "General Huo is worried about the country and the people, like a relative of mine, although it is the first time we meet, I always feel cordial." There are not many good men in the world anymore, and General Huo should be one of them, even if I don't ask, I will naturally say it. ”

Huo Wuji's heart warmed: "The seventh brother praised it falsely." ”

Ah Qiyi drew his sword, played a handsome circle, and finally drew a simple map on the ground.

"Today, Dayu is the most powerful, and Daxia United Dashang can be on a par with Dayu. Therefore, the Great Xia and the Great Shang formed an alliance as brothers and friends, and once the Great Yu attacked any country, the two countries would inevitably unite and move north. ”

"Now a large number of peasant households in Daxia have rebelled, it seems to be chaotic, but in fact, the regular army on the border of Daxia has not moved at all

Measure the number of troops. Everyone understands the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the big business is not easier than the big summer. ”

"But Emperor Qi still sent a cavalry from the border to quell the rebellion, he thought he was acting secretly, but in fact there was a crack on the border, which also gave Dayu an opportunity!"

"If Da Yu knew where Emperor Qi had drawn his troops, and then obtained the offensive and defensive deployment military map here, Da Yu would be able to tear this crack out of a fatal hole!"

"At that time, under the impact of Dayu's terrible Mo chariot, straight into the hinterland of Great Xia, the Great Xia Dynasty will be in danger! Emperor Qi naturally will not allow this kind of thing to happen, so once he finds out that things have changed, he will definitely transfer back that cavalry!"

Huo Wuji suddenly realized: "In this way, Emperor Qi will no longer have the troops to expel the farmers, and there will not be so many refugees flocking to Western Qin, and this crisis will naturally be lifted." But the point is, how to get Emperor Qi to transfer back that cavalry?"

Ah Qi didn't answer, as if he had the intention to train him, and let Huo Wujian think.

After a while, Huo Wuji said happily: "Just create a simple chaos in the place where Emperor Qi has drawn troops, Emperor Qi will definitely pay attention to the situation there night and night, and once there is any disturbance, he will definitely react quickly! Compared to these rebellious farmers, he is more afraid of the Dayu chariot!"

"But the key question is, where is the place where Emperor Qi draws troops?"

Ah Qi's expression was extremely complicated at this moment, and he hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "Great Xia Shuozhou, Yanmen Pass!"
