Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 59 New Chapter 59 Dragon City Flying General ([-])

Yuanguang six years
Emperor Liu Che learned the lessons of the Battle of Mayi, and instead of discussing the battle plan in the court, he directly appointed generals and conveyed their combat intentions to each general.

The cavalry general Wei Qing set out from Shanggu County, the cavalry general Gongsun Ao set out from Dai County, the light chariot general Gongsun He set out from Yunzhong County, and the cavalry general Li Guang set out from Yanmen County. Huns nearby.

Guan City is a trading market established by Dahan in the border area.

Although there were frequent wars between the Han and the Huns, the trade between the two countries never stopped. The Han needed the livestock of the Huns, and the Huns also needed the tea of ​​the Han.

"Wei Qing, who came through the back door, actually leads a heavy army like me. This is a shame to me, Li Guang!"

Li Guang, who came from a wealthy family, looked down on Wei Qing's status as a white man. In his opinion, Wei Qing's ability to become a chariot general was all due to Wei Zifu being favored by the emperor.

Several officers under Wei Qing's command were furious, but because of Li Guang's status, they did not dare to explode.

"We'll do our best."

Wei Qing shook his head and tried to persuade those aggrieved officers, and then smiled at Wang Changzhi who was beside him: "Brother You'an, don't come here without any problems."

"I'm ashamed, brother Zhongqing is now a chariot general, but I'm still a school lieutenant." Wang Changzhi knew Wei Qing's ability, so he didn't have any dissatisfaction with Wei Qing becoming his immediate boss.

"Brother You'an was joking, General Cheqi is just a miscellaneous general who was temporarily appointed during the war. After the battle, I will still be a doctor of the Taizhong, no better than Brother You'an, you, Captain Feihu. "Wei Qing is very modest, gentle and elegant.

As he himself said, there are two types of generals, canonized generals and miscellaneous generals, or they can also be called official generals and temporary generals.

Such as generals, generals front and rear, generals north and south, these are official generals, specific departments of the country.

Generals such as Cheqi General and Xiaoqi General are temporarily appointed functional generals, that is, temporary workers.

Because there are chariots and cavalry in the troops that went out this time, they are called generals of chariots, and because the troops that go out are elite cavalry, they are called generals of cavalry.

From the names of the four generals, it can be seen that Li Guang is the main force and Wei Qing is only a support.

Because Li Guang is the general of Xiaoqi, he is in command of the most elite cavalry of the big Han, while Wei Qing is in command of a mix of chariots and ordinary cavalry.

This is also normal, although Wei Qing has military talent, but only the emperor and Wang Changzhi believe in Wei Qing's talent, most people have little contact with Wei Qing, they have the same idea as Li Guang, that is: why you Wei Qing is no big deal You can be a chariot general because of your military exploits?You Wei Qing must have gone through the back door from your sister Wei Zifu, you Wei Qing must be a related household!
"Father once taught me that gold always shines. Although this sentence sounds very vulgar, the truth in it is true." Wang Changzhi was worried that his good buddy Wei Qing would be unhappy because he was publicly humiliated by Li Guang just now. He didn't dare to quarrel with Li Guang, so he could only comfort his brother like this.

"Haha, brother You'an, I understand what you said. I, Wei Qing, am not the kind of person who cares about every detail." Wei Qing is indeed a bold person, and he doesn't care about Li Guang's humiliation. He wants to use his strength to prove that he is worthy of being the chariot general. , Use strength to convince those who do not obey him.

"Anyone knows how to say big things. When it comes to the battlefield, don't pee your pants, kid."

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Wei Qing's words, Li Guang couldn't help mocking again, and even the guards around Li Guang laughed together.

Wei Qing's officers were furious, staring at Li Guang and the others, but they didn't dare to come forward to argue.

"Okay, don't say a few words." Gongsun He on the side persuaded Li Guang.

After another meaningless quarrel, the army finally set off towards their respective destinations.

Li Guang went to Yanmen County. After replenishing grain and grass in Yanmen County, he attacked the Xiongnu from Yanmen County to the north. Wei Qing went to Shanggu County.

……

20 days later
Monan Grassland
Thirty miles south of Longcheng
A mixed chariot and cavalry unit of about 1 people is resting here.

They were Wei Qing's troops. Under the leadership of Wei Qing, they swept through a dozen small Hun tribes near Guanshi, killed more than a thousand Hun cavalry, expelled and slaughtered more than [-] Hun herdsmen, and captured tens of thousands of livestock.

In this sweep, Kenuohun, the spiritual Han who had already become the leader of the party, contributed a lot. It was because of his leadership that Wei Qing and Wang Changzhi did not get lost.

It is rare to see such a special leading party as Kenohun.

Under normal circumstances, although Hun slaves are willing to lead the way, they do not know the way themselves, and it is useless to be willing to lead the way. For example, there are many Hun slaves who surrendered in Li Guang’s army who are willing to lead the way for Li Guang, but these Hun slaves themselves do not know the way. Li Guang often got lost along the way.

Although the Xiongnu nobles knew the way, they ran to Shan Yuting long ago when they encountered the Han army, and let a group of slaves fight against the Han army on the front line, so it was difficult for the Han army to capture the Xiongnu nobles alive.

"Report! The three-way army has withdrawn!"

At this time, the scouts came to report the intelligence of the other three friendly forces.

"what happened?"

Wei Qing frowned in puzzlement. You must know that the other three routes are the main force of the Han army, and his route is only an auxiliary and is responsible for containment.

Now the main force has withdrawn in less than 20 days, leaving him as an assistant to fight fiercely with the Huns on the Monan grassland.

Afterwards, the scouts truthfully reported the situation of the other three roads.

It turned out that among the three main forces, Li Guang, the most powerful, was surrounded by the main force led by the Xiongnu Shanyu himself as soon as he rushed to the Monan grassland. Li Guang was outnumbered and the whole army was wiped out. On the way, he fled back to Yanmen County in the dark.

However, after Gongsun He attacked the Monan Grassland, he didn't even see a Hun tribe. After wandering in the grassland for a few days, he was afraid of being besieged by the main force of the Huns, so he withdrew to Yunzhong County.

After Gongsun Ao heard that the strongest Li Guang was defeated, he didn't even fight, and retreated back to Daijun halfway through the march.

"Hehe...the army was defeated just after going up, so you have the nerve to mock us?" Wang Changzhi mocked Li Guang slightly.

"Brother You'an, let's just do our own thing." Wei Qing shook his head and persuaded him.

"Okay." Wang Changzhi stopped mocking Li Guang, thought about the current situation seriously, and said to Wei Qing: "The main forces of the three routes of our army have already fled, and only our partial division remains in the Monan Grassland. , if it is not withdrawn in time, in case the main force of the Huns..."

The rest of the officers also agreed with Wang Changzhi's opinion that if they continued to go deeper, they might be surrounded by the main force of the Huns. Li Guang's main force was completely wiped out, not to mention that they were only supporting them along the way. Moreover, they swept away so many small tribes of the Huns and captured so many livestock. , it can be regarded as a meritorious service, even if it is withdrawn, it will not be punished.

"No!" However, Wei Qing didn't think so: "The Xiongnu Shanyu just wiped out Li Guang's elite main force, and he must be busy guarding against Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He at this moment. In-depth, just because they think we dare not, so we dare."

"Brother Zhongqing, what do you mean?" Wang Changzhi also felt that Wei Qing's explanation was indeed reasonable.

"Keep moving forward! Go straight to Dragon City!"

Wei Qing was so full of spirit that he actually made such a bold decision.
