The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 286 Captured

Wang Hui's main force was not very good either. Although they did not encounter the main force of the Huns, they were thrown into disarray under the charge of the Huns' light cavalry.

However, simply because Wang Hui had fought a major battle involving more than 100,000 people in the southeast, he quickly stabilized people's hearts.

But Wang Hui did have some bad luck. After Li Guangda defeated the Xiongnu Yi Zhixie Chanyu, Yi Zhixie Chanyu fled with his main force. By chance, he met Wang Hui's main force in the desert.

So the two sides once again started a difficult and fierce battle. Wang Hui did not have as strong a leadership ability as Li Guang. In this battle, Wang Hui suffered a loss. He lost five to six thousand troops and was chased by the Huns in the desert.

Fortunately, Gongsun Ao's rear troops arrived and successfully rescued Wang Hui's main force, and the battle was finally over.

This was not a situation that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to see. Before going on the expedition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that the Han army should be able to grind the Huns cavalry of Yizhixie Chanyu to the ground, but this battle was extremely difficult.

And this was after the Xiongnu Yi Zhixie Chanyu paid nearly 50,000 people in Wuwei County. If he still had those 50,000 people, no one could predict what the battlefield situation would look like.

Gongsun Ao was a little worried. Although Wei Ning had sent out 500 mighty Huns cavalry to spread rumors, the Huns still did not mess up their position.

He had to admit that Yi Zhixie was a formidable opponent, and his ability to organize and purge the army was excellent. This way, the Xiongnu's combat effectiveness was not affected by the rumors at all.

The heavy troops outside Yumen Pass successfully found Gongsun Ao and Wang Hui's troops, and bad news came.

Li Guang's army lost contact in the desert, which made Gongsun Ao and Wang Hui furious.

Although they don't like Li Guang very much, Li Guang brought out more than 50,000 people! If something happens to this group of army soldiers, it doesn't matter if Li Guang dies. These big men are the elites of the Han Dynasty. If they die inexplicably, the military combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty will drop a lot.

Now, although Gongsun Ao and Wang Hui were not defeated badly, it was obviously still a bit difficult to deal with the Huns Yi Zhixie Chanyu. This war was a mess.

Gongsun Ao and Wang Hui had to send a letter to Chang'an to report the news.

As for Huo Qubing, he has been out of contact since he left Yumen Pass. He was like this during the war. Everyone was not surprised and didn't pay much attention to him.

In Wuwei County, Weining is managing the post-war people in Wuwei County, distributing food, settling in residences, building houses, allocating grain for disaster relief, etc.

Early this morning, Weining also received news that Li Guang was missing in the desert. He only learned that Li Guang had won a battle and then pursued the victory, but lost contact immediately.

When Weining saw this newspaper, a look of sullenness appeared on his face.

No wonder you, Li Guang, can't be granted the title of marquis. You underestimate the enemy and are reckless. You are so happy about your achievements. You have taken over all the big taboos on the battlefield!

You are risking the lives of 50,000 people to win a prince!

The ones he, Li Guang, brought out were all the elites of the Han Dynasty. The elites of the only class were all cavalry!

Wang Hui and Gongsun Ao still have some infantry, but all Li Guang brought out were light cavalry. This is the big man's trump card. Your Majesty has given you all your trump cards. You won a battle and you will come up with a big one?

Weining couldn't do anything if Qi returned. This was not within the scope of his mission. He could only hope that Gongsun Ao and Wang Hui's troops could successfully find Li Guang.

But then the news from Wang Hui came out again, and there was bad news one after another. Wang Hui's main force encountered Yi Zhixie Shanyu and was defeated, losing more than 5,000 troops. If Gongsun Ao hadn't arrived in time, Wang Hui might have lost his life. The loss of troops was even more serious.

Wang Hui fought well in the southeast, but the battlefield in the southeast was different from that in Mobei. In Mobei, his disadvantages were fully reflected.

He did not have the ability to lead cavalry infantry. He was familiar with naval warfare and land jungle warfare. If he wanted to fight a desert pursuit, he was beyond his capabilities.

Weining did not deny that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a bad move. In order to prevent his uncle from gaining too much power, he suppressed the Han Dynasty's strongest commander until he could not leave Chang'an.

Doesn't this cost Han Wu Bei Shang an arm in vain?

Why not let Wei Qing lead the troops and let Huo Qubing intervene? On such a large battlefield, Li Guang, Wang Hui, and Gongsun Ao are not good enough!

However, angry and angry, Wei Ning could not do anything but wait for the news from Chang'an while he continued to clean up the mess in Wuwei County.    …

A few days later, the news reached Chang'an.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and he paid a heavy price for his willfulness.

After repeated weighings, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Wei Qing in the Qilin Hall.

He originally thought that the Han Dynasty was strong and the Huns were weak now, Li Guang had performed well on the battlefield before, and the Huns had lost so many people in Wuwei County, so they would have won if they tied a dog to them.

Who knew he could turn a war into nothing.

If you had listened to Weining's words, you wouldn't have to be like this!

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Wei Qing stepped to the Qilin Hall. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Wei Qing to stand up and said: "Zhongqing, go to the northwest. I order you to take over the command of Wang Hui and Gongsun Ao, find Li Guang, and find his cavalry troops. We must Rescue the big men safely."

Who would have known that by now, the war would turn into a rescue operation, which is simply a shame.

Wei Qing concealed the excitement in his eyes very well. He was born for war and had long wanted to go to the northwest battlefield. The words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty undoubtedly touched his heart.

Wei Qing cupped his fists and said, "Weak minister, I obey the order!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry for you."

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and pretended to be puzzled and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "I am stupid."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand: "Go ahead and set off today."

"Here!"

Jun and his ministers did not discuss the matter in depth. They both knew what the other meant, but Wei Qing did not have the guts to say it clearly.

In other words, he is Wei Qing. If he were a coach like Hou Junji, you, Li Shimin, would abandon me and still want me to work for you. I would be worthy of you if I didn't rebel against you.

Wei Qing did not dare to delay. He had already learned about the situation in the northwest battlefield. He hastily ordered 300 light cavalry on the outskirts of Chang'an, and then rushed all the way, successfully arriving at Wuwei County ten days later.

Wei Ning was very excited when he heard that Wei Qing was back in battle. He personally came to Nancheng of Wuwei County to greet Wei Qing and let Wei Qing rest for a while in Wuwei County.

Wei Qing hurried all the way and was extremely tired at this time. After entering the Governor's Mansion, he settled down and rested. After a good sleep, it was already late at night.

The governor's office became Weining's temporary office. Wei Qing had a panoramic view of the post-war governance of Wuwei County and was impressed by Weining's ability to manage people's livelihood. This kid has really grown up a lot in the past two years.

Wei Ning was a little strange. He found that Wei Qing always hesitated to speak when he looked at him, so he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, is there something going on in Chang'an?"

Wei Qing took a sip of water, then looked at Wei Ning and said, "Your fourth aunt has been made a queen."
