Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 220 The South Expedition and the North Return to Chang'an【Please order】

There is a huge chariot in the middle of a team going back to Chang'an from Xiguan.

This chariot has a very strong history, it was Shan Yu Yizhixie's chariot that was seized from the royal court of the Huns.

After the car was seized, it was sent back to Chang'an. The emperor asked the Mohist craftsmen to keep the frame, modify it, and add or remove facilities.

The day before yesterday, the emperor sent the imperial army to send the chariot to the border and gave it to the champion.

Shanyu Yizhixie's chariot was given to Huo Qubing, which has a special meaning, implying his outstanding military exploits, and it is a symbol of being a king of the Huns.

This chariot retains the design of a pointed roof like a large tent, with six beams at the four corners, and also incorporates the structure of the palace of the Han Dynasty. It is like a small mobile palace, which is rode by four horses.

After Huo Qubing received the emperor's order and returned to Chang'an, he arranged all the border affairs, kept Li Gan, and Zhang Cigong assisted Zhang Jun, and then embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.

You must sit on the chariot bestowed by the emperor to show respect.

In the car, Huo Qubing was withdrawing his idea of ​​using Wei Na's 'perspective' to observe the Huns' royal court.

Wei Na did not actually attempt to assassinate the Great Shaman.

In contrast, it is more beneficial for the next situation to have her dormant among the high-level officials within the Xiongnu.

A big shaman is not a big obstacle to Huo Qubing now, there are other opportunities to kill him.

Before Huo Qubing withdrew his thoughts, Wei Na had already left Great Shaman Enchi's tent.

He also used Wei Na to see the scene in Ulaanbaatar at this time.

On the high ground, the rebuilt big tent of the Huns royal court, observed from the level of spiritual sense, actually has a layer of black flame-like breath, lingering around the royal court, as if it is burning, the atmosphere is amazing.

It's a reason why the entire court of the Huns is like the great Han Chang'an being shrouded in a thick purple atmosphere.

After Huo Qubing's attack on the royal court, the Xiongnu's luck is recovering due to the return of the Heavenly Soul Department led by Judu.

While Huo Qubing was busy expanding the territory for the great man, Judu and the great shaman were also working hard to integrate the various ministries of the grassland, and achieved great results.

It can also be seen from the battle with Xiutu's tribe this time that although Huo Qubing only attacked a part of Xiutu's land, most of the Western Huns were involved in the counterattack that followed.

Judu's influence among the Huns cannot be underestimated, and all ministries regard him as the invincible general and the guardian of shamans in the world.

His return allowed the Huns to regain their strong cohesion.

But the more this is the case, the more Yi Zhixie will be afraid of him, and the more room Wei Na can play... Huo Qubing thought to himself: If we go to war next year, we will deal a fatal blow to the Xiongnu and cause their national fortune to plummet...

Huo Qubing sat in the main seat in the car, with Dong Zhongshu and Daozun sitting on the flanks.

Opposite the two was Bai Nanyu, who was wearing a long lake green dress, sitting quietly sideways, with a slender waist like a willow and plump legs.

She was still wearing a copper mask, and her watery peach eyes were hidden under the mask, and she occasionally glanced at Huo Qubing with a charming charm.

"How is your injury?" Huo Qubing asked.

After the defeat of the Xiutu tribe by the Han army, Bai Nanyu left the camp late at night, and went alone to the Xiutu tribe's garrison after withdrawing from Xiutu Ze, with the purpose of assassinating the enemy chieftain.

It's a pity that King Xiutu has always been cunning, and he slept as a double in Wang's tent, and was beheaded silently by Bai Nanyu.

When she found out that it was not Queen Xiutu, she groped around in the enemy camp and successfully assassinated King Xiutu's clan uncle, Tianyu, before she retreated.

She was also injured by the siege of the guards who rushed in after Tianyu's death, and she had a wound on her waist and ribs.

This woman can not only stand alone, but also know how to advance and retreat, so she is very suitable as an assistant.

The key is to look good.

"It's okay, the trauma will heal soon." Bai Nanyu said.

The car was quiet again.

Huo Qubing took out a scroll and began to deduce the contents of the scroll.

Dao Zun squinted his eyes, coughed lightly, and said, "What you are looking at is the formation of Lishan figurines?"

Hearing this, Dong Zhongshu also opened his eyes from his doze.

Huo Qubing nodded slightly: "If you want to get Daojian back, you have to start from the figurines."

Dao Jian fell into the imperial tomb, and Dao Zun was also thinking about how to get it back these days, but he had no good plan.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is probably one of the most dangerous and inaccessible places in the world.

Hearing that Huo Qubing was studying the terracotta array, and wanted to help him get back the Daojian, Dao Zun slammed his mouth and said, "Is there any progress?"

"Well, find time to visit the imperial tomb again in the next few days."

At this moment, Dong Zhongshu interjected, "What is Huo Hou going to do next?"

"The current situation is quite clear. I mean the surrounding Siyi. When we left Chang'an, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and the leaders of Xianbei tribes were on their way to Chang'an.

The envoys of their various ministries will also arrive in Chang'an to conduct negotiations in order to redeem the masters of the various ministries.

If there is no accident, these parts will all be surrendered.The border of our Han Dynasty will be able to advance hundreds of miles northward. "

Dong Zhongshu eloquently said: "Although Huohou's attack on Xiqiang this time was only a series of small battles, Xiqiang was originally composed of many scattered tribes. In the direction leading to the Western Regions, Huohou had already defeated 24 Qiang villages of various sizes. .

In a short period of time, the Qiang people will never dare to disturb Hanguan easily again.

Moreover, the Xiutu Department was repelled and relocated, and the obstacles from Xiguan to the Western Regions dropped sharply. The surrounding situation is now very good. "

"so what?"

If you want something, you must first promote it.Just now Dong Zhongshu was praising Huo Qubing's achievements in conquering the north and south, and Huo Qubing was waiting to hear his next turning point.

The old master broke his fingers and said:
"In the spring and summer of this year, Huohou fought two battles against the Huns. Afterwards, Huainan put down the rebellion and raided the surrounding ministries. Although the capture was plentiful, there was also a lot of consumption.

This time, tens of thousands of soldiers, horses, food and grass were mobilized to stop the slaughter department, and part of the food stored at the border was burned. "

Dong Zhongshu said prudently: "I figured it out, after the battle of the Xiutu Department, the repair of the aqueduct left by the previous dynasty will be postponed next year, and if the fight continues, there must be a major incident."

Huo Qubing nodded slightly, this time Dong Zhongshu was not singing the opposite tune, he was telling the truth.

The emperor deliberately ordered him to return to Chang'an, and it was not without his intention to let him suspend the offensive.

Since ancient times, war has been the largest consumption of treasury expenditure.

There were a lot of wars this year, and although the seizures were plentiful, they could not directly offset the consumption.

Huo Qubing was also thinking about whether to get his brother out in advance to participate in politics.

That guy is a good hand in politics, and also a ruthless person with a reputation through the ages.

In this life, he has his own pressure, so he probably won't follow the old path of history and become cocky in the later stage.

But it might not be a good thing to get Huo Er out at this time.

Once the distant water cannot save the near fire, Huo Guang also needs a long time of tempering before he can shine.

Secondly, in the established history, because of Huo Qubing's early death, Emperor Wu transferred his reliance and trust on Huo Qubing to Huo Guang to a certain extent.

In this world, if Huo Qubing has been living well, the situation will obviously not progress according to the established historical facts.

In addition, if Huo Guang develops according to the original route, there is still a hidden danger.

The combination of Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, and Queen Wei Zifu was already very prominent and precious beyond words.

Fortunately, this kind of prominence has a clear focus, which is to focus on the military and not to participate in other political affairs.

If Huo Guang comes out, he will get involved in state affairs other than the military, and his power will become heavier and heavier.

The Wei and Huo families are not only powerful, but powerful for a while.

As a minister, when the power is so heavy that the family dominates, and there is no check and balance, it is not far from overturning. This is the experience summed up in history, without exception.

These are the future trends that Huo Qubing has to consider.

Huo Guang... Huo Qubing has been thinking about whether to let him come out early and what to do after he comes out.

While a group of people were talking, the vehicle was galloping, getting closer and closer to Chang'an.

Huo Qubing pushed his chariot with his marching policy, set off in the morning, and approached Chang'an before sunset.

This time when he entered the city, Huo Qubing changed his method and sent the scouts to his house in advance, telling Liu Qing not to pick him up.

When they reached the gate of the city, the army disbanded and returned to the camp nearby.

He and the rest of the hundreds of relatives opened the side door and walked along the royal road, and concealed their whereabouts with a trick to sneak into the city, and went straight to the Weiyang Palace to meet the emperor.

At the gate of the city, Taichang Zhou Ping was dressed in an official robe, with a happy face and an imperial edict in his hand.

Generals who won battles with foreigners at the border, and returned to Chang'an, had to read the imperial decree outside the city as usual, and entered the city wearing a red crown. This is an unchangeable national ceremony.

Zhou Ping knew that Huo Qubing didn't want to parade in the streets, this time he was more careful, and he came to the gate of the city to wait with the imperial decree in his hand.

He also made up his mind to recite the imperial decree when they met, so that the champion had no chance to evade.

Behind him are two attendants holding a hanging crown and a red cape, just waiting for Huo Qubing to show up.

Let me see how you hide this time...

However, when the sun went down, there was no trace of Huo Qubing.

Zhou Ping felt something was wrong, so he asked someone to ask, and the news he got was that Huo Qubing had already entered the city, not only visited His Majesty, but also returned to his mansion.

It was like a bolt from the blue, waiting all afternoon for the news that he had returned to the city, but there was no sign of him.

Where did he enter the city, why no one came to tell me... Zhou Ping said sadly.

Now it is a battle of wits and courage to bring someone into the city.

……

Evening sunset.

Before entering the city, Bai Nanyu left the team on her own and returned to the city secretly.

After entering the city, she was not in a hurry to return to the Zhuo Mansion, but came to the small courtyard where Huo Qubing had been in the border area between the south and east of the city.

After entering the yard, he entered the house by himself, and looked at the sides of his cheeks in the mirror.

Wearing the bronze mask for a long time left two red marks, Bai Nanyu rubbed it with her hands, and the red marks gradually disappeared.

She lifted her skirt to the mirror again, revealing her fair and delicate calves, which were as white as enamel.

When going out with Huo Qubing, he had to ride a horse for a long time.

And Bai Nanyu usually doesn't sit on horseback with her buttocks solid. She knows her own affairs, and the position behind her is too plump and upright. Sitting on a horse, the traces of pressure and the waves generated when she goes up and down are quite Not only is it attractive, but it is also inappropriate in the army.

Bai Nanyu herself felt a little ashamed.

Therefore, when riding a horse, she always pushes on the saddle tightly, exerts force on her legs, and keeps her buttocks a little away from the saddle.

This puts a lot of pressure on the calf, and only her deep practice can maintain it for a long time.

She looked in the mirror and saw that her calf hadn't changed much, and it was so smooth that no pores could be seen.

Bai Nanyu pursed her lips and smiled, then put on her mask again, and walked briskly out of the house again.

At the same time, in the darkness in the corner of the wall, a figure that was transformed from virtual to real appeared silently.

"metropolitan!"

The shadow was a tall and thin person, and another figure stood up from the shadow behind him.

The two separated like nesting dolls.

Bai Nanyu, one of the original Nine Zonghengdao, and the people under his command are called ghosts.

Some of her cronies joined her under Huo Qubing's command.

"The two of you are here in Chang'an, don't use the means of ghosts walking at night. There are many people hiding dragons and crouching tigers in this city, and there are many unfathomable people. It is the safest to maintain an ordinary appearance." Bai Nanyu said with a frown.

"We have remembered the words of the suzerain."

The tall ghost who came out first was very obedient, and the matryoshka ghost who came out later was very lively and seemed to be a woman, with a crisp voice:

"Don't worry, the suzerain, the Night Walking Technique of Hundred Ghosts is also used in this house, and we will pretend to be normal people when we go out."

"Pretending to be normal?"

The matryoshka ghost immediately said: "I will first find a place with a lot of people, secretly absorb their yang energy, and then cover myself, pretending that I have a lot of yang energy, just like normal people."

Bai Nanyu stretched out her slender fingers and stroked her forehead:
"You use tricks to pretend that you are full of yang energy, and you still think that you are pretending to be a normal person?"

Matryoshka ghost: "Yes, after all, my practice is not as profound as the suzerain, and I am not disturbed by Yin Qi. If I want to pretend to be an ordinary person, I can only absorb Yang Qi to pretend."

Bai Nanyu sighed softly, the youngest ghost under his command has never been very smart.

"You don't have to pretend to be an ordinary person anymore."

She threw out a jade token that Huo Qubing gave her to identify herself.

The embroidered clothes envoy or the city guards knew immediately that it was under Huo Qubing's command, and it allowed the ghosts to come and go safely.

Bai Nanyu asked about the business: "Did you find what I asked you to look for these days?"

"The cultivation method of Chi Bing's ghost body is a secret that has not been handed down from ancient times. There is no definite news about the other parts. There are only a few suspects. They should be in the sects that hide from the world. The suzerain wants to annex and integrate these sects. , It may not be easy to reunite the complete Chi Bing Great Inferno Technique."

The tall ghost stepped forward and handed out a jade slip: "This is the clue we have found."

He continued: "There is also another news that the leader of Yan Jiao sent a message and brought up the marriage again, wanting to accept the suzerain as a concubine.

He said that if the suzerain is willing to marry him as a concubine, he will do his best to help the suzerain, dismiss the other concubines, and favor the suzerain alone. "

"Pooh!"

Matryoshka ghost: "He is also worthy. He has more than 40 wives and concubines, and he is 70 to [-] years old. He still wants to accept the suzerain?"

The tall ghost continued: "In addition, some hidden sects in the world have had a lot of changes recently, and they seem to be united to do something."

The corners of Bai Nanyu's mouth curled up: "Some of them are external forces from the vertical and horizontal lanes, and they are colluding secretly. I am afraid that someone is pushing behind them. I know what they want to do, to fight against Han, against Huo Hou, and they are looking for death.

What else has changed? "

The tall ghost took out another object: "This is another object that the suzerain asked us to find."

Bai Nanyu said unexpectedly, "I found it."
