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

Chapter 214 Young man, the desperate Huns

Han 7th year

March
Emperor Han ordered the change of the Yuan Dynasty, making this year the first year.

May
His wife, Wei Zifu, gave birth to the Han Emperor's first boy. The Han Emperor was so excited that he ordered Wei Zifu to be canonized as his queen, and she moved into the Jiaofang Hall and commanded the inner palace.

Chang'an, Jianzhang Palace
The most important think tanks and officers around the Han Emperor, including the Emperor of Han, Wei Qing, the general of chariots and cavalry, Zhufu Yan, the senior official of Taizhong, Su Wu, the general of Zhonglang, Bai Chi, Lu Qiuwu, the assistant minister, all gathered here.

Bai Chi is the third son of Taichang Baihe. He is a man of martial arts and is known as a chivalrous man in Hanoi County. He often brings his friends and friends to go against the law as a ranger.

Since Zhang Tang became prime minister, many Legalist disciples have held important official positions from the central government to counties. This has formed a culture of multiple criminal laws for officials, especially in the area of ​​taxation. Since the Han Emperor continued to invest in the army, , needing more money and food made Zhang Tang pay more attention to the constraints of criminal law.

Therefore, he was arrested and imprisoned many times. Fortunately, he was brave and careful, and he killed some heinous people. He was released after the Bai family came forward as a guarantee. However, his friends were all sentenced to ten years in prison. , ranging from more than ten years.

Later, Bai He realized that the Han Emperor liked to reuse the young people in Guang Luxun's palace, and used less meritorious descendants. Therefore, in order to maintain the Bai family's influence, Bai Zheng recommended Bai Chi to Wei Qing, and Wei Qing recommended Bai Chi to the Han Emperor. .

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty liked this boy very much when he saw that he was really capable of fighting and dared to fight, so he appointed him as a minister, always by his side, commanding a hundred people of Qi Menqi, acting as the left official in the song of Qi Men Qi, and controlling the two villages. .

Bai He's legitimate son, Bai Chi's eldest brother Bai Yong, was arranged by Bai He to go to Yanmen County. As a meritorious official of Yanmen County's prefect, he could hone his government skills. His second son, Bai Tao, was sent to Taibai Academy because he especially loved literature. Currently studying.

Eyes turned.

"My lords, I am planning to subdue or wipe out the Huns. It will be divided into three stages. The first is Monan, the second is Hexi Corridor. The third is Mobei.

As for the first stage, I am planning to take advantage of the heavy losses of the Huns to launch a big battle this year. You see, this is the Hetao Grassland. It is the most important grassland for the Huns in Monan, and it is also the closest place to my big man.

During the Qin Dynasty, Jiuyuan County was established here. However, the Huns took advantage of the chaotic times at the end of Qin and when the Xia were in civil strife, and occupied it until now. Now that the Huns' strength has been damaged, but I, the Han, still have some strength left, so here we go. If there is no time to fight, when will it be better? I see, it’s time to take it into your pocket.

As long as it is taken down, at least one of its arms can be cut off. As for the second stage, it is the Hexi Corridor. Taking down the Hexi Corridor can cut off the Huns' connection with the Western Regions and cut off their supplies from there.

At this time, the Huns will be at their weakest, and it will be logical to instigate rebellion against the eastern tribes.

And the last stage is the most important stage. Converging all the forces to completely drive the Huns out of Mobei. I will make sure that the Huns have no royal court in Mobei! ! ! "

Speaking of which, Emperor Han struck the northern Xiongnu with a stick.

Several people in the hall listened carefully to the Han Emperor's strategy and felt honored to be able to participate in this battle. They all clasped their hands and bowed and said: "I am willing to encourage your Majesty!!"

The Han Emperor was very proud when he saw this. He looked at the map on the wall and stared at the word Xiongnu.

"Bang!" The sound of something knocking over
"Who! Come out!" Everyone surrounded Emperor Han behind them and said warily to the place where the strange noise was coming from.

Bai Chi, who was the servant, had a sword. He drew his sword and approached slowly in a vigilant manner. He came to a curtain and cut it open with a sword.

The curtain slowly fell, revealing a young man holding a bamboo slip with wide eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Bai Chi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was a child, but still asked in a routine manner.

"Bai Chi, put away your sword!" Emperor Han's voice came from behind.

Bai Chi turned his head, made sure, then sheathed his sword and stepped aside.

Emperor Han walked up to the young man and asked kindly: "Who is your surname? Whose family do you belong to? What are you doing here?"

The young man was not afraid of the situation and said: "My name is Huo Qubing, and my aunt's name is Wei Zifu. I came here because someone said there is a military book here, so I came here!"

"Qu Bing! Why are you here?" Wei Qing finally realized what he was doing and hurriedly stepped forward. Then he knelt down on one knee and saluted the Han Emperor: "Qu Bing was young and ignorant and disturbed His Majesty. It is because I, my uncle, have no education." OK, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Han waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "He is the queen's nephew, not only your nephew, but also my nephew! Why haven't you heard the queen talk about it?"

Wei Qing said respectfully: "Qubing is the son of sister Chen. He lost his father when he was young, so he is often disciplined by me and the queen. Today I said that I would come to build Zhang Palace. After he heard about it, he has been pestering me to come and see the cavalry. I had no choice but to bring him in after getting the queen's consent, but he ended up here for some unknown reason. Please forgive me."

Emperor Han smiled and said nothing. He turned to look at the young man who had been standing on the field without any stage fright or fear and said, "You like the art of war very much?"

Huo Qubing shook his head and said, "No, I want to see how to defeat the Xiongnu inside."

"Then what did you see?"

"It's all about strategies and strategies, but it doesn't tell you how to deal with the Huns!"

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty liked this young man very much and said with a smile: "I am familiar with ancient Taoist strategies, and my grandson Wu Qi can pick them up at his fingertips. How about I come and teach you?"

Huo Qubing still shook his head and said: "How can you fight a war based only on strategy, and the ancient military methods are all for dealing with people who are also from the Xia Dynasty, but there is no way to deal with the Huns who come and go like the wind, so I don't need to learn the ancient military methods. "

"Hahaha!" Emperor Han said with a smile, "Okay, what a smart and agile young man."

He turned to look at the generals and said: "You said that you are well-read and know ancient military techniques by heart, but no child can understand them. Now our enemies are the Huns. They have different living customs from us. Different combat habits. But many of you still hold the same mentality of quelling domestic rebellions in the past to deal with the Huns. No wonder only Wei Qing made achievements last year. You must know that we are facing a powerful and brand-new enemy. We must defeat them in a different way than before.”

The generals said with shame: "I will teach you."

The Han Emperor was very satisfied. He turned to look at Huo Qubing and said, "I like you very much. Let's do this. If you don't understand anything in the future or have any questions about the Xiongnu, you can come to the palace and ask me. I will definitely know. There’s nothing I can’t say, nothing I can’t say.”

Huo Qubing was very happy. He immediately saluted and said loudly in a boyish voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Qubing will come to Your Majesty often. My uncle can defeat the Huns' Dragon City, and I can do it after Qubing!"

"Hahaha!" Emperor Han looked at Huo Qubing and felt that his mentality had become younger.

October
In order to understand the movements of the main force of the Xiongnu, Wei Qing proposed a plan to alert the snake and lure it out of its hole.

The Han emperor agreed to this plan and ordered Wei Qing to be the general of chariots and cavalry, leading 30,000 cavalrymen to go out of Yanmen County to attack the Xiongnu to cover up the Han Dynasty's military plan.

Thirty thousand wolf-like and tiger-like cavalry of the Han army came out of Yanmen in a mighty manner. All tribes that did not have good relations with the Han Dynasty and provided troops to the Huns suffered a devastating blow.

The raid lasted for a month. At the cost of losing hundreds of people, the Han army returned in triumph with the result of beheading thousands of people and losing cattle, sheep, and horses.

"Too much bullying!" Yu Yi Zhixie, the Great Dan of the Huns, smashed the golden wine glass to the ground. The wine glass rolled far away on the soft carpet.

"Great Chanyu, we can't sit still and wait for death! I request to go to war!!!" A Hun general stood up and shouted loudly.

"Yes, we Huns are eagles in the sky and wolves on the earth. How can we be so humiliated and ravaged by the Han people? Can we still be called the descendants of Moton?"

"Fight! Fight!!!"

Looking at the excited men, Yi Zhixie knew that he had to go to war now, and they would definitely not recognize a big Shanyu who was afraid of fighting.

"Okay, gentlemen, let the Han people see what the price is for angering the believers of Changshengtian and the conquerors of the grassland!!!" Yi Zhixie pulled out a gold knife inlaid with gems and said loudly.

The second year of Han Dynasty

In order to retaliate against the Han people, the Xiongnu Great Chan Yu Yizhixie assembled an army of 200,000 and invaded Shanggu, Yuyang and other counties.

Liaoxi County, Western Duwei Defense Area, Liucheng

"Captain, it's too late. We can't stop it anymore. The Huns' attack is too fierce." A military prince said anxiously to Tuoba Kan, the western commander of Liaoxi County.

"If you can't stop the fart, you have to stop it. Otherwise, how can I explain to the prefect?" Tuoba Kan, whose face was covered in blood, looked at the military prince with bloodshot eyes and said loudly.

"Captain, we really can't stop them. We only have 700 people. The Huns have been fighting day and night for three consecutive days. Now we only have more than 100 people," the Marquis cried.

"Then what do you want me to do? Surrender?" Tuoba Kan grabbed the military lord's stomach and roared angrily.

The military prince just cried and said nothing. Tuoba Kan pushed him to the ground and said very tiredly: "Tell the brothers that I have written to the prefect. The prefect will not give up on us. As long as we persist, reinforcements will definitely arrive." of."

The military lord wiped away his tears, nodded, and went back to continue killing the enemy.

Tuoba Kan looked at the back of Liucheng, and then resolutely killed a Wuhuan man who climbed up the city wall.

The 10,000-person Xiongnu army attacking Liucheng was actually an army of Wuhuan servants. Logically speaking, they should not be so desperate. However, the Huns sent a Huns supervisory army with one-third of their number. Anyone who dared to take a step back would be killed by the Huns. They shot and killed them mercilessly, but there was no other way. It was better to kill the Han people than to kill themselves, so they all showed their desperate determination.

"Sir, it seems that this Han city is about to be captured!" The leader of the Wuhuan people looked at the Xiongnu Danghu on the side with a flattering look on his face.

Dadanghu ignored him, and Wuhuan Lord smiled sarcastically.

"Report to Dadanghu, a cavalry of several thousand people from the south is coming here." A Hun sentry horse galloped to report.

"Send six thousand people to block the south, and don't worry about the rest." The Xiongnu Danghu said coldly, and then said to the Wuhuan leader: "I'll leave this place to you. If this city hasn't been attacked before I come back, Come on, then you don’t have to live anymore.”

After saying that, he led the Huns cavalry and galloped away, leaving only the Wuhuan general with a livid face.

"Chief, what should we do?" a Wuhuan general asked wisely.

"What to do, fight, what to do, do you want to see my clan leader beheaded by the Huns, do you want to be the clan leader?" Lord Wuhuan roared.

"Send an order to the people in front. If I don't cut off the head of a Han man, I won't keep his life even if I come back!"

"Chief, this..."

Seeing the lustful look in General Wuhuan's eyes, General Wuhuan suddenly broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly went to deliver the order.

So the Wuhuan people's offensive became more fierce.
