A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 207 Han Military Academy, the future star

"General, we found out that the garrison of Yitun in Zuoqu was breached and all the soldiers inside were dead. However, the commander of Yitun, Wang He, and the eastern commander, Shi Fanpu, were not seen alive or dead!"

Lu Qiuwu, the eastern captain who was already fifty or sixty years old, said respectfully to Bai Fang.

"It seems that this is the problem!" Bai Fang said after thinking deeply.

"General, a Han army corpse was found a hundred miles away from Mayi." Just as a sentinel came to report.

Bai Fang looked at Lu Qiu Wu. Lu Qiu Wu understood and went to identify the body. After all, it was his jurisdiction.

Lu Qiuwu came back after a while, "It's Wang He. It seems that he was tortured, and his head is missing." Lu Qiuwu said dullly.

Bai Fang probably knew what was going on, so he remained silent and said: "Go find a carpenter, make a wooden head according to his appearance, and bury him properly."

Lu Qiuwu handed over and went down to arrange Wang He's funeral affairs.

"Send a few messengers and tell the other generals that the Huns have found clues and have run away. I will write the specific details in a memorial to Your Majesty." Bai Fang said to the military commander on the side.

"Here!" Army Sima turned around and left after receiving the order.

Bai Fang looked at the green grassland in front of him and murmured: "You are lucky this time." Then he turned around and left the pass, preparing to return to his general's mansion.

In the direction of Daidi, 30,000 troops led by Wang Hui and Li Xi had already left Daidi, marching outside the Great Wall, and were preparing to attack the Xiongnu's baggage stronghold on the grassland.

The marching formation of the 30,000-strong army was like a long dragon, slowly heading towards the city of Dandang in the north of Yanmen County. Intelligence showed that all the food, grass and baggage needed for the 100,000-strong Xiongnu army were stored in it.

"Now that the Xiongnu Chanyu has taken the bait, it means that Nie Yi's strategy has succeeded. As long as we rush to Wuzhou Fortress and burn its food, grass and baggage, the Xiongnu army of 100,000 will be nothing more than chickens and dogs!"

Wang Hui was very happy and told Li Xi how he had given advice to the Han Emperor, and how the Han Emperor valued him and sent him to cut off the Xiongnu army's retreat to show that he was grateful to the emperor.

Li Xi also responded very intelligently, even flatteringly, because he was just a local captain, and as the Li family of Longxi, he was recommended to the Han Emperor by the Li family members in the court, and only then could he become an official general and work with the Han emperor. Wang Hui leads a large army alone, and his future wealth will depend on today's battle.

And Wang Hui, as one of the Nine Qings who was originally the Dian of the Dian Dynasty, was in the central government all year round. He held a high position and was deeply trusted by the Han Emperor. He could also debate with the Ya family and the Bai family in the world. It was simply A big, thick thigh.

While the two were marching and joking, a messenger on horseback carrying a small flag galloped in front of them, dismounted, knelt on one knee and said: "The little man is the messenger of the Zhenbei Army, following the order of Bai Fang, the general of Zhenbei. Convey General Bai’s military orders to General Wang, General of the Guards, and General Li, General of Caiguan.”

After speaking, he handed the bamboo tube on his body to the two of them.

Wang Hui took off the sealing mud from the bamboo tube and took out the military letter inside. After reading it, his eyes went dark and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Li Xi had excellent equestrian skills and helped him in time.

"Prince, what's wrong?" Li Xi asked.

Wang Hui sighed and said, "See for yourself!" After speaking, he handed the general's letter to Li Xi.

After reading this, Li Xi's expression changed drastically: "How could that be?"

"My wealth, my future as a marquis and general, are just gone?" Li Xi fell into internal strife.

Wang Hui sighed repeatedly, thinking that his army was no match for the Xiongnu army. I had no choice but to order the army to stop temporarily, and the whole army turned back on the spot. The front army became the rear army, and the rear army became the front army, and immediately returned to Daidai.

On the other side, Han generals such as Li Guang, the general of valiant cavalry, and Gongsun He, the general of light chariots, who led their armies to ambush in Mayi, waited left and right but could not wait for the Huns to move, so they changed their original battle plan and led their troops to attack decisively. , as a result, there was no trace of the Huns.

After receiving the military letter from General Zhenbei, they understood the whole story and immediately led their troops back to their bases to prevent the Huns from attacking the pass while they and others were outside.

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was anxiously waiting for the report of the battle in the north. In the past few days, he did not even visit his most beloved wife Wei Zifu. He stayed in his palace day and night, waiting for the report of the battle.

"I hope everything goes well, the late Emperor bless me!" Emperor Han kept praying in his heart.

"Report~ General Zhenbei, eight hundred miles of military information, hurry up!!!" A messenger with three flags broke through the multiple guards of Weiyang Palace and quickly ran to the Han Emperor's palace. Kneel down on one knee in front of you and raise the bamboo tube above your head.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty couldn't wait for the eunuch to get it, so he ran down from his high position, took the bamboo tube containing the letter with one hand, roughly took off the ink pad, held the bamboo tube downwards, and poured out a few pieces of cloth, which he thought were white. A military letter written by Fang.

Emperor Han didn't care about other people's eyes, so he squatted on the ground, found the first letter, and then read one after another.

"Absurd!!! Really ridiculous!!!" Emperor Han suddenly threw the letter to the ground, and then suddenly asked the messenger: "Is this really the letter from Bai Fang? Was there a mistake in sending it?"

The messenger was frightened by the Han Emperor and stuttered: "This is the letter from General Zhenbei. I don't dare to replace or open it privately. There is still a complete sealing mud on it. Please give it a clear warning." The Han Emperor suddenly lost his mind. He regained his energy and knew that the matter had come to this and was irreversible. He waved his hand and let him go down. The ordering soldier felt relieved and bowed respectfully before retreating.

When the Han Emperor came to the Han-Hungarian border military map, he carefully traced the area around Mayi with his hands and murmured: "What went wrong?"

After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of anything. Emperor Han said: "Send an order to have all the doctors in Shanglin Garden come over."

"Here~" A eunuch obeyed the order and left.

Not long after, a group of young men wearing bright clothes and angry horses came outside the Han Emperor's palace.

"Wei Qing/Gongsun Ao/Baize...are here as ordered!" Represented by Wei Qing, the young generals whom the Han Emperor had reserved for future attacks on the Huns all saluted respectfully outside the door.

Among them, Wei Qing was the Jianzhang Supervisor of the Jianzhang Palace newly built by the Han Emperor in Shanlinyuan. He was the younger brother of Mrs. Wei who was most favored by the Han Emperor. He was known for his strategic mind and courage. He was discovered by the Han Emperor and promoted to the Langzhong Mansion. He was saved from being framed by Empress Chen and promoted to Jian Zhang Supervisor.

Gongsun Ao was a virtuous and upright person recommended by Liaodong County. He was the Lang of the Langzhong Mansion. He came from the Gongsun family of Beidi County. Gongsun He, who was involved in the Mayi conspiracy, was his uncle. Gongsun Hong, the Prime Minister of Taichang, was the elder of his clan.

Bai Ze is a virtuous and upright person recommended by Yanmen County. He is the middle son of the Langzhong Mansion. He is a clan son of the Bai family in Yanmen County. He comes from the Mansion of Xiuwu Marquis and is the grandson of the third son of Xiuwu Marquis Bai Wei. Because of his military power, he was captured by Yan. Menjun recommended Bai Fang, the contemporary Xiuwu Marquis, as the clan leader.

"Come in, everyone!" Emperor Han said slightly majestically from inside.

After the group of young people glanced at each other, they stepped into the palace in front of them.

The Han Emperor asked them to gather around a huge map that occupied an entire wall, and pointed Yanmen County with a long stick. He explained to them the process, causes and consequences of the Mayi War, and asked them to share their own opinions.

Everyone else said that if they were one of the generals, what would they do, how to equip their troops, how to command their soldiers, and how to complete the established strategy. Emperor Han looked at the future of these empires and nodded slightly. After three years of his Teach, if these people are released, they will all be excellent generals who can lead an army on their own.

But there was one exception. Emperor Han looked at Wei Qing who was reading the military report and said, "Wei Qing, what do you think?"

Wei Qing frowned and put down the military report: "Your Majesty, there is a big problem in this battle."

Emperor Han asked curiously: "What's the problem?"

Wei Qing said unceremoniously: "We lack a commander-in-chief who can command the overall situation. Although His Majesty himself has served as the commander-in-chief of these armies, he is far away from Chang'an after all, beyond his reach. Information is not transmitted in a timely manner and he cannot quickly make corresponding changes according to the situation. , which is why neither General Gongsun He nor Li Guang knew about it until the Huns were gone."

Emperor Han nodded: "That's true, but since the death of the older generation of Lord Che, I really lack a capable general, so I have great expectations for you. I hope you can live up to me and grow up as soon as possible." Get up, then I can play chess with the Huns and avenge the disgrace of Emperor Gao."

The doctors all felt the excitement, and they all swore an oath to the Han Emperor, willing to lead the Han Emperor to wipe out the Xiongnu together and promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

Now it has been more than sixty years since the founding of the Han Dynasty. The concept of the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one can say that they are from Chu, Zhao or Qin. Instead, they are from Chang'an, Guanzhong, and other counties. , or people from various vassal states, but there is a universal consensus among these people, that is, they are all Han people.

Emperor Han asked everyone else to go back, leaving Wei Qing alone.

"Wei Qing, I have always believed that you are very talented in military affairs, so I am preparing to train you to be a stand-alone general. Now I have not many generals who can sit on one side, and I can only count the number of generals who can take the initiative. Only Zhenbei General Bai Fang has this strength.

But he is now fifty-seven and is getting older. I am really afraid that when I need to use him in a few years, his health will not be good. Therefore, I am going to send you to train under his command and learn more about cavalry tactics and military affairs from him. The strategy also allows you to practice it. What do you think? "

Wei Qing suppressed the excitement in his heart and saluted respectfully: "I obey your Majesty."

Emperor Han nodded and said: "Well, you go down and get ready. The other doctors are also preparing to send them to the border to prepare for the subsequent war between Han and Hungary."

When I was about to ask Wei Qing to retreat, Emperor Han suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, your sister is pregnant again."

Wei Qing was very happy after hearing this, which could be seen from the uncontrollable smile on his face. Emperor Han also smiled and said: "Okay, you know it, go and prepare! I hope you can go to the border and do something for you." My nephew will kill more Huns and pray for him."

Wei Qing immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely kill a few more Huns to give a great gift to my nephew who is about to land."

Returning to the Jianzhang Palace which was under construction, the doctors gathered around and asked Wei Qing, "What did your Majesty tell you? Tell us!"

Wei Qing looked at his friends around him and said with a smile: "His Majesty said that we will be sent to the border to practice in preparation for the future Han-Hungarian war."

"Great, we can finally go to the border to kill the Huns!" Gongsun Ao jumped up immediately, as did Bai Ze and others.

Wei Qing looked at them and shook his head with a smile, letting them cheer.
