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

Chapter 76: Relaxing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Huo Qubing drank the water and then said with a smile: "Zhao Xin's troops on the eastern front of Liaodong were defeated. Zhao Xin led [-] cavalry and surrendered to the Huns."

"At the Hexi Corridor on the western front, Li Guang's army encountered the main force of the Xiongnu and was severely defeated. Li Guang was lost in the desert for a long time before the news of his defeat reached Chang'an."

"My uncle is furious right now."

Wei Ning looked at Huo Qubing who was laughing in surprise and said, "Then you can still laugh?"

Three fronts of the army went out to fight, but only Wei Qing's center line won the war. Although this war was successful and achieved the established goal of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was not considered a great victory overall.

Of Zhao Xin's 3 troops in Liaodong, Lieutenant General Su Jian finally escaped with [-] cavalry. Of the [-] troops and horses under the rain, [-] died, and [-] cavalry followed Zhao Xin and surrendered to the Huns.

This was a huge loss to the entire Han Dynasty. It was normal for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be angry.

It rained continuously all night. Who would have thought that Li Guang on the western front encountered the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu and was defeated. More than half of the [-] troops were killed or injured. And because Li Guang got lost on the grassland, another [-] wounded soldiers were dragged to death. .

It can be said that it was another fiasco.

How could Emperor Wu of Han not be angry?

Under such circumstances, can you still laugh?

Are you really not afraid that your uncle will chop you up when he sees you like this?Or should I snitch?
If you are seen by the imperial censor, you may be impeached for the death penalty again.

Huo Qubing smiled and said: "Yes!"

"It's normal for two losers to lose."

"Xin Zhao is a little king of the Huns, and he doesn't have much loyalty to the big man. I warned my uncle at the beginning not to let the Huns become high-ranking officials here, but he stubbornly refused to listen to me. You see, now Are you reaping the consequences?"

It turns out that Xin Zhao is a Huns.

It is worth mentioning that the military strength of the Han Dynasty was not only composed of Han people, but also many ethnic minority people who surrendered to the Han Dynasty and organized into armies.

These people are naturally capable of fighting, but they cannot reach the decision-making level. It is inappropriate for them to be generals.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Didn’t Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understand this?
Huo Qubing is right. He is still angry. Isn't it all your fault?
Huo Qubing added: "As for Li Guang... he is pure trash."

Wei Ning: "..."

You guys are just young and energetic, so let’s just talk about this behind closed doors. Talking too much can easily lead to trouble.

Huo Qubing was so sharp and confident that he was a little arrogant.

Wei Ning reminded him: "Don't talk nonsense outside."

Huo Qubing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I'm sensible, aren't we two brothers talking about our own affairs behind closed doors?"

"You don't talk nonsense."

He trusted Weining very much and always regarded Weining as his best friend and closest brother, so he spoke without any scruples.

Huo Qubing thought to himself and said: "Li Guang is really funny. He went to the outside of the Great Wall and led the army on horseback to get lost on the grassland."

"Forget it if you lose, forget it if you are incompetent. What did he think about getting lost on the grassland?"

"If a large army is managed by him, and he can be managed like this, it's no wonder he can't be made a marquis for the rest of his life. If I were my uncle, I wouldn't make him a marquis!"

Also leading an army to the expedition, Wei Qing had already taken everything into consideration.

Before leaving the fortress, he found several guides. When he traveled through the desert, he also found guides in the cavalry camp.

This is basic common sense.

It can be seen that Huo Qubing despises Li Guang. Although Li Guang was very famous in the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing despises him at all.

It's not just Huo Qubing who looks down on Li Guang, Wei Qing also looks down on him, but Wei Qing is not as sharp as Huo Qubing.

The defeat of the two-line deployment meant that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had only achieved one-third of his stated goals.

Qin Ziyu said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would definitely send troops out of the fortress. Even if Liaodong was not attacked, Hexi would still be defeated.

If the Han Dynasty wanted to achieve economic prosperity, the roads connecting the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions could not be controlled by the Huns.

The Hexi Corridor is really important to the future economic deployment of the entire Han Dynasty.

With Li Guang's defeat, the Huns once again inhabited the Hexi Corridor and controlled this transportation fortress.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty must definitely attack the Hexi Corridor in the future.

Wei Ning thought for a moment and then said to Huo Qubing, "Oh."

"Oh?"

Huo Qubing said: "Why don't you scold Li Guang? Let's scold him happily together!"

Wei Ning: "..."

I'm not as bored as you. Wouldn't it be better if I read more books during this time?
Li Guang and I have nothing to do with each other.

Huo Qubing couldn't sit still. After finishing speaking, he stood up and visited Weining's house with his hands behind his back.

"Stylish, very stylish!"

"It's just a little monotonous and needs to be decorated."

Wei Ning said: "I feel good."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to my uncle's harem soon, so you know what's good."

Weining was speechless. I'm not you. I can go to your uncle's harem casually.

Is that a place I can go to?
Stop talking about me, isn't your uncle a general now?Can he go to the harem to meet his fourth sister now?
There is a difference between king and minister, brother!
Huo Qubing pulled Weining and said, "Get on the horse."

"Ah? What are you doing?"

Huo Qubing said: "My uncle is in a bad mood now."

Wei Ning: "Then you want me to vent his anger? I won't do it."

Huo Qubing rolled his eyes at Wei Ning and said, "How could I be so stupid?"

"I'll take you to help my uncle calm down and make your presence felt in front of my uncle."

Many soldiers don't have this opportunity.

Although you are now knighted, my uncle has forgotten you over time. What should I do?
Wei Ning knew what Huo Qubing meant and didn't want to reject Huo Qubing's kindness, so he smiled and said, "Okay."

"But I can't speak either. Maybe your uncle will be even more annoyed if I go there."

Huo Qubing laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, I've already figured out how to make him happy."

"How happy?"

Wei Ning looked at Huo Qubing suspiciously and asked.

Huo Qubing said: "My uncle has two hobbies in his life. The first one is to like beautiful women."

"Fuck!"

Wei Ning cursed, looked at Huo Qubing blankly, and said, "You're not going to take your uncle out to find a woman, are you?"

Huo Qubing: "..."

"You...uh, I..."

"of course not!"

Huo Qubing said speechlessly: "My uncle also has a second hobby. He likes to hunt fine horses."

"I'll take you to hunt with him in Shanglin Garden."

Oh.

Weining was shocked. He really thought Huo Qubing was looking for death.

Wei Ning rode the Red General and followed Huo Qubing in a hurry, heading towards Shanglin Garden on the outskirts of Chang'an.

By noon, the two arrived at Shanglin Garden.

Outsiders were not allowed to approach this royal horse ranch, but Wei Ning and Huo Qubing galloped in with their horses free and helpless.
