Chapter 161 Huo Guang became the coach of the Blue Army?red and blue confrontation

I don't know Cheng, how old are Li Guang and Li Guang?
The two started fighting from the Wen and Jing dynasties to the present, and have gone through three generations of emperors in the Western Han Dynasty.

It can be said.

These old guys have become living fossils in the army.

Huo Guang couldn't figure out how to come to Nandaying at such an age!
What are they doing here?
It is nothing more than to participate in this decisive battle between the Han and the Hungarians and gain enough military merits so that His Majesty can be named a Marquis.In the Han Dynasty, there were [-] ranks of nobles, and the last two ranks were the Marquis of Guannei and the Marquis of Liehou!
Who wouldn't want this kind of honor?

But they are really too old. You know, the ancients could call themselves old men at the age of 36.

why?
Isn't it because of poor conditions in ancient times that most people lived very short lives!
Veterans like Cheng Bushi and Li Guang are already at that age, who knows how many years they can live?

This time the battle between the Han and the Hungarian.

It will be their last hope of becoming a marquis, especially the parachutist Li Guang, who has the strongest obsession with being a marquis.For this reason, he even asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that as a vanguard general in this battle, he would personally lead his troops to fight the Huns head-on.

Vanguard General!
It can be said.

As long as the war is won, it will be a steady achievement, and if you survive, you will be named a marquis.

of course.

The premise is not to get lost.

Regarding Li Guang's request, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty agreed to it.

Just one problem!

The army of the Han Dynasty is currently concentrated in two camps, the south and the north. On the north camp under the control of the hussar general, the hussar general Huo Qubing basically only needs elite soldiers and strong generals, and all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army are eliminated.

For a veteran like Li Guang.

He will never accept it.

then.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only place Li Guang in Nandaying, that is, Wei Qing's place.

As for Wei Qing and Li Guang, even without Huo Guang's appearance, these two people would still be somewhat contradictory, but His Majesty has already issued an order, and Wei Qing, as a general, can only accept it.

Therefore, veterans like Cheng Bushi and Li Guang who wanted to participate in the Northern Expedition to the Huns all came to the South Camp.

In front of these veterans.

The middle-aged general Wei Qing seemed to be a junior.

Huo Guang took a glance at the crowd, and didn't care about it. He only said to the general: "The surrounding terrain has been pinched. General, look, can you put the sand table here?"

"can."

Wei Qing said lightly.

With Wei Qing's consent, Huo Guang waved to his subordinates and directed them to place the sand table in the middle of the tent.

The sand table is huge.

The moment it was carried in, everyone in the camp looked at it.

The main reason is that it is the first time for everyone to see such a novel thing, so they inevitably feel curious.

"General, what is this?" Cheng Buzhi asked seriously.

Although he is old, his relationship with General Wei Qing is good, and there is no major conflict.

Unlike Li Guang.

In Wei Qing's military career, he led troops to conquer the Huns for the first time, and was ridiculed by Li Guang in a strange way.

Hearing Cheng Bushi's question.

General Wei Qing hurriedly said: "This is called the sand table, which was invented by Huo Dubo. It can be used to analyze the direction of the war. You see, the small triangular flags with two colors on it can represent the respective forces of the enemy and us."

Although compared to military exploits, ten veterans like Cheng Bushi are no match for one Wei Qing.

But Wei Qing still respected these old generals very much, and felt that his explanation was not good enough, so he said to Huo Guang: "Uncle Huo Du, explain it to all the old generals!"

Huo Guang had a great conflict with Li Guang.

He wanted to come up and explain!
But as soon as he took a step forward, Li Guang hummed and said, "General, I'm not interested in this novelty, so don't waste time."

"Before you come."

"Listen to your majesty, what kind of red and blue army drills did the general recommend to your majesty, why not talk about this first!"

Hearing Li Guang's words, the general frowned slightly.

But not too angry.

This Li Guang's temper has always been like this, the General had worked with Li Guang for many years, so he naturally knew about it.

I heard General Li Guang say that!
Wei Qing had no choice but to say slowly: "Since the old general doesn't want to hear about the sand table, Huo Guang, let's not talk about it. Come on, tell me what the Red and Blue Army mean."

The words fall.

The general looked at the old generals again, and said, "Old generals, my nephew also proposed the method of the red and blue army's confrontation exercise. You may wish to listen to it!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Li Guang, known as the parachutist, was stunned.

The main reason for what he said just now was that he had deep conflicts with Huo Guang, so he didn't want to hear him speak.

The result was unexpected.
Still can't escape listening to Huo Guang's nagging.

Huo Guang didn't pay attention to Li Guang's appearance at this time, since the general asked him to speak, he said bluntly: "The red and blue army confrontation exercise, as the name suggests, is to divide a blue army in the barracks. "

"This blue army is our imaginary enemy, the enemy we must fight against."

"As an imaginary enemy, you don't need too many troops, 5000 people are enough."

"Because there are few people!"

"So the blue army has high lethality. If they kill one member of our army, ten people will withdraw from the battle structure."

Hear this.

The parachutist Li Guang immediately said: "The blue army fighting against the drill, because there are few people, so killing one person is equivalent to killing ten people, does that mean? Well, this general, I will be the coach of the blue army."

"General!"

"What do you think of this matter?"

Hearing Li Guang's words, General Wei Qing immediately nodded and said, "It would be great to have General Li Guang as the head coach of the Blue Army."

"but!"

"Huo Dubo hasn't finished speaking yet, please listen to it first before speaking!"

"Hodub, please continue talking!"

Wei Qing is younger than Li Guang, but his achievements are greater than Li Guang. Among the generals who are still alive, only Hussar General Huo Qubing can stand shoulder to shoulder with Wei Qing.

As a general!
No matter how dissatisfied Li Guang was, he still had to listen to the general when he came to the South Camp.

At this time.

Seeing that his uncle Wei Qing asked him to continue explaining, Huo Guang said directly: "Yes, General."

"Just now I mentioned that the Blue Army's combat power is fierce. If one person is killed, ten soldiers of our army will withdraw from the exercise."

"Now let's talk about the requirements of the Blue Army."

"first!"

"The battle with the Huns in Mobei is about to begin. Therefore, in this exercise, the Blue Army must not win the final victory. The victory must be given to our army!"

"at the same time."

"Don't let our army win too easily, let them know that the battle is not easy,"

"All in all, we want the blue army to fight our army inextricably, and then lose to our army at the critical moment!"

Hear this.

Li Guang was stunned, a little confused.

Fight against maneuvers, as target rival blues!
Can't win?
That's all.

In addition, the blue army must fight fiercely with our army, fight inextricably, and then find a reason to lose to our army.

What are you talking about!

As a general, who likes to hear the word lose.

Immediately.

Parachutist Li Guang said angrily: "Isn't this sick? The fight is inextricably linked, and you have to admit defeat at the last moment, just so as not to hurt the morale of the army?"

"If so!"

"The coach of the blue army, whoever likes to be the coach, I don't want to be the old man anyway!"

After hearing this, General Wei Qing couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Since Old General Li Guang doesn't want to be the head coach of the Blue Army, then everyone, who else is willing?"

The remaining old generals, look at each other, and I look at you.

They are also unwilling to be the coach of the Blue Army. The reason is very simple. Old generals of their age can't hold back when they lose!

Take Li Guang as an example!
He is counting on this battle in Mobei to make a military exploit and become a Marquis!
Huo Guang is fine.

Let him lose directly, such an unlucky thing, he will not do it.

The morale of soldiers is very important.

Then the mentality of the general is not important?
Thinking of this, Li Guang immediately said: "Whoever proposes this kind of confrontation drill between the red and blue forces, whoever is going to do it, he mentioned it himself, he must be familiar with it!"

Hear this.

Everyone glanced at Huo Guang.

As for the person involved, Huo Guang just shrugged his shoulders and said: "I made this suggestion. At present, I am just a small Dubo in the military camp, and there are only 100 people under my command? I have never led a team of 5000 people! "

Hear this.

Everyone also gave up.

at this time.

Li Guang laughed out loud, and said, "Look, even the person who suggested this is not willing to be the coach of the Blue Army, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"According to what the old man sees!"

"This so-called confrontation between the red and blue armies should be canceled directly, and it will still be the same as before, just drill and deploy troops."

Just practice formation?
That's a fart!
At this moment, Huo Guang opened his mouth to say something, but General Wei Qing said, "No, I have already reported to His Majesty about the confrontation exercise between the Red and Blue Army. His Majesty replied that this is a bold and innovative suggestion."

"At that time, when the Red and Blue Army practice confrontation, His Majesty will also watch."

"so!"

"This kind of confrontation exercise cannot be abolished and must be held."

"If none of you are willing, let this general be the coach of the Blue Army."

As soon as the words came out.

None of the generals present objected, and they even wished for Wei Qing to be the coach of the Blue Army.

These veterans!

Ben was dissatisfied with General Wei Qing from the bottom of his heart.

It's a pity that there has never been a chance, and now it's just a good time to borrow the opportunity of the red and blue army's confrontation drill to teach Wei Qing a lesson.

What a beautiful thing this must be!
however.

When the generals did not object, Huo Guang objected: "General, anyone can become the coach of the Blue Army, but you are the only one who cannot."

"You are a great general!"

"You can only serve as the coach of our army, otherwise, the confrontation drill between the red and blue army will be meaningless!"

Hear Huo Guang's words.

General Wei Qing frowned immediately, and said: "Uncle Huo Du, don't you know that if the Blue Army doesn't have a strong coach, this kind of confrontation drill will be useless!"

General's words.

Not without reason.

Huo Guang frowned slightly, sighed and said: "If not, I hope the general trusts me, let me try?"

The words fall.

Everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at Huo Guang.

Especially Li Guang, said lightly: "You have never led a force of 5000 troops, what are you trying?"

previously.

Li Guang asked Huo Guang to be the coach of the Blue Army, of course he didn't want him to be the coach.

Just kidding.

And Cheng Buzhi, who was at odds with Li Guang, also said at this time: "General, I also think that Huo Guang is not good. This time we are fighting with cavalry, five thousand soldiers and horses, not five thousand infantry. "

"This is no child's play!"

"Please think again, General!"

As soon as the words fell, in the barracks, whether it was these later old generals or Wei Qing's subordinates who were in the barracks, they all stepped forward to echo these words.

Because cavalry is harder to train than infantry.

Who would let a 14-year-old boy be the coach of 5000 people?

Seeing the opposition from the crowd, the general fell into deep thought. Huo Guang knew that these people did not believe in him.

then!

Huo Guang had an idea, and said directly: "Since you don't want to be the coach of the Blue Army, and you don't believe me, it's easy."

"General, please write a letter to His Majesty immediately."

"The candidate for the head coach of the Blue Army will be chosen by His Majesty, what do you think?"

Word down!

Na Cheng Bushi immediately nodded and said: "This idea is fine. Your Majesty will choose the coach of the Blue Army. I think no one will object!"

heard.

Many generals also nodded.

Even the old general Li Guang didn't speak out against it, and it seemed that he acquiesced to this plan.

Seeing that everyone's ideas have been finalized, General Wei Qing did not object, so he said: "Okay, since that's the case, then the general will write a letter and submit it to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can make a decision!"

The words fall.

The general took the bamboo slips and drew some pictures on them with a brush, and a letter was quickly written.

As for why bamboo slips are still used instead of paper?

The main reason!
It still lies in the matter of book paper in the palace, which has not been completely let go.After all, this kind of change of traditional habits cannot be changed overnight.

It takes years of infiltration.

After writing the letter.

The general then summoned the messenger and asked him to send the letter to Chang'an.

Then time.

It is a long wait.

Nandaying is far from Chang'an city, neither far nor near.

By the time the messenger entered Chang'an, it was already time for a cup of tea, plus the delay in Chang'an city.For such a simple matter, it was delayed from morning to afternoon to get a reply from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.

Inside the South Camp.

General Wei Qing has the highest status, so when His Majesty's reply came, he naturally read it first.

just.

Wei Qing's face changed slightly after reading the contents of the letter from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che's reply.

Undoubtedly, Wei Qing scolded Wei Qing at the beginning, saying that he couldn't handle such a trivial matter, how could he be such a great general.

Bamboo slips are not paper.

The handwriting could not be seen from the back, so many generals approached the general and asked curiously: "General, who will His Majesty recommend to be the coach of the Blue Army?"

Hearing someone questioning, Wei Qing said: "Your Majesty said that Huo Guang is going to be the head coach of the Blue Army. Based on the concerns of us generals, Your Majesty said that he will send someone to cooperate with Huo Guang to deal with the Blue Army's problems!"

"If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself!"

"The content is all on this slip!"

Done.

Wei Qing handed the slips to these generals, and Li Guang couldn't help but snatch them over to watch.

After a look.

After discovering that His Majesty had indeed appointed Huo Guang to be the coach of the Blue Army, he immediately had nothing to say against him.

This was the decision of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Who dares to object?

Moreover, His Majesty also said that he would send a person who knows the art of war to cooperate with Huo Guang in commanding the battle.Now, even the parachutist Li Guang had no reason to say anything about Huo Guang.

After all the soldiers read it.

The bamboo slips returned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che were finally read by Huo Guang, who was the lowest in the general's camp.

Looking at the order given by Liu Che.

Huo Guang frowned slightly, not very happy.If he were the coach of the Blue Army, Huo Guang wouldn't worry about anything by himself.

But this also adds a person.

That is equivalent to putting a shackle on him, making it difficult to handle things.I don't know, who will Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, send to cooperate with him?
