my brother champion

Seeing the combined bandit army fleeing like chickens and dogs, Huo Guang has already ordered all the ministries to stop the pursuit.

There is a saying in the art of war, don't chase after the poor!
Firstly, chasing the enemy will make your formation slack, and secondly, if the enemy sets up an ambush, if you fall into the trap, you may end up in a catastrophic end.

As a stable man, he would not put himself in this situation.

"Check the casualties of the soldiers, and prepare to continue marching later and enter Dunhuang County." Huo Guang told his subordinates.

"promise."

The soldiers under his command conveyed his words to the rest of the soldiers.

soon.

A soldier reported to him: "Report to the chariot general, Lieutenant Lin was seriously injured."

The moment I heard this.

Huo Guang's first reaction was that he couldn't believe it.

Whoever was injured, it shouldn't be Lin Yaoqing who was injured!

This guy often fought against the Huns in Mobei, and he had never been injured before. Why was he seriously injured when he fought against the bandit army of Tujiwagou this time?

"Where is Lieutenant Lin? Come on, take me to see." Huo Guang frowned.

"promise."

Then, under the guidance of the soldiers, he walked across the battlefield and quickly walked to Lin Yaoqing who was lying on the front battlefield.

From the blood stains left on the armor and the corners of his mouth, it can be seen that Lin Yaoqing was seriously injured.

His left eye was already congested, completely black and red.

Seeing Huo Guang approaching, Lin Yaoqing was about to force himself to stand up and said, "General, this subordinate is incompetent"

Huo Guang hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "It's alright, alright, if you're injured like this, you can lie down if you feel comfortable."

The words fall.

He turned his head and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Well, you go, take a stretcher I got in the barracks before, and carry Lieutenant Lin away."

"promise."

The soldier who was shouted by Huo Guang hurried to get the stretcher.

Things like stretchers are very simple and have no technical content at all.However, it works well when transporting the wounded.

At this time, Huo Guang looked at Lin Yaoqing, who was seriously injured, and said in doubt, "Lieutenant Lin, why are you so seriously injured?"

"Most of the bandits we beat were local farming people or refugees."

"With your skill, it shouldn't be!"

Lin Yaoqing looked ashamed at this time, and said: "I was injured by a big black-faced man. I was careless at first, and didn't dodge the opponent's attack, so I used my saber to forcefully block the opponent's stick."

"Who knows that guy's strength is amazing."

"I was knocked down to the ground with a stick, and the weapon in my hand fell out of my hand. I was completely invincible."

"Without a weapon, I stood up and could only fight with a hook."

"But the hook couldn't stop the opponent's strength, and it was broken into two pieces. Fortunately, the bandit army was defeated quickly, and he ran away without killing me."

Hearing what Lin Yaoqing said, Huo Guang's gaze finally noticed the hook that was broken in two on the ground.

It's not that the middle shield is broken.

The hook is inlaid with upper and lower hooks, and the connection between the upper hook and the middle shield is broken.

but.

This is also very scary.

Huo Guang looked at the broken hook setting with a little curiosity in his eyes.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, he patted Lin Yaoqing's shoulder lightly, and said: "Maybe I met some ranger master, I heard that there are many ranger in these bandit army."

talking room.

The soldiers arranged by Huo Guang brought the stretcher, and Huo Guang asked him to lift Lin Yaoqing on the stretcher, and then the troops continued to march forward.

When he arrived at the city of Dunhuang, Huo Guang ordered: "Go and fetch the army chariot, and prepare to attack the city."

"promise."

When the soldiers heard this, they went to fetch military chariots.

In the infantry army system of the Han Dynasty, there was a saying of chariots.This point, most people are clear.

However, few people know the type of chariot!
It is generally divided into three types.

One is called a light chariot, which belongs to the true sense of the chariot. Two horses drive it and can run rampant on the battlefield.

One is called the military chariot, also known as the columbine chariot, which is like a ladder and is specially used for siege equipment.

One is called a baggage cart, which is responsible for carrying goods and transporting grain, grass, weapons and equipment.

What Huo Guang took out now was the army chariot.

Dunhuang County is the most remote location in Liangzhou. At this time, the Protectorate of the Western Regions had not yet belonged to the Han Dynasty, so Dunhuang County was a county close to the border of the Han Dynasty.

For such a remote county town, its city wall construction is not much better.

Military chariots are used.

The soldiers climbed up the city wall one after another, and within a short while, slaughtered the combined bandit army left behind in the city.

in fact.

There are not many bandits left in the city.

Ever since they were defeated by the five thousand infantry led by Huo Guang, they knew how powerful the army sent by the imperial court was.

I have long been afraid to fight.

Dunhuang County is not a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. How can these mobs united by eighteen bandits know how to reorganize their forces and fight against the imperial army in Dunhuang County?

Long after the defeat, they fled back to their respective lairs.

After capturing Dunhuang County, Huo Guang ordered the soldiers to rest in the city.

The continuous light rain, coupled with marching and fighting, many soldiers were injured, so it is time to stop.

Huo Guang just took advantage of the rest time to start writing an information about the war, which was sent back to the court overnight, informing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che that Dunhuang had been recovered.

Simultaneously.

He also said that he planned to go to Yangguan, Yumenguan and other places in the future, and pull out the surviving bandit dens one by one.

Otherwise, once the imperial army leaves, these bandits may make a sweeping comeback.

As for marching and fighting, why do you have to write letters to inform the court every day?

In fact, as the chief general, in addition to formulating the battle plan, he has to write a battle situation every day and let people pass it back to Chang'an.

Back then, this kind of thing was done by General Wei Qing.

Now that Huo Guang is leading the army, naturally Huo Guang can only do it.

Of course, there is also a general who never does such a thing, let alone report his marching route and location to the court.

There was only one person in the entire Han Dynasty!
Naturally, it was his elder brother, Hussar General Da Sima Huo who was sick.

Done with this.

What Huo Guang has to do later is to post a notice stating that the imperial court is willing to surrender those bandit troops, that is, to recruit security.

This is the easiest way.

Especially in this situation of gaining a big advantage, the enemy is one-sided, and naturally has the idea of ​​surrender.

It said on the recruitment notice.

The imperial court is willing to accept the surrendered rebels, as long as they sincerely repent and forget the past.

But actually.

After the war is settled, most of these recruited people will still be settled by Qiuhou.

but.

Then it's none of Huo Guang's business.

After a few days.

The recruitment notice was published, but with little effect.Fortunately, Huo Guang has already collected information about the whereabouts of the Eighteenth Route bandits, and he is going to clean them up one by one.

First of all, it is necessary to play the most famous three-way.

Along the way, the villain Zhu Qian led the team, whose den the rebels were at Yumen Pass.

Say coincidence.

Through understanding, Huo Guang knew that Zhu Qian had a little relationship with him.

At the beginning, I and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che proposed to cultivate cotton, and among them was the matter of transporting the soil back to the Western Regions.

Because Yumen Pass is the road leading to the Western Regions.

This transportation of soil is the official road to Yumen Pass.Who would have thought that several carts of soil would also be robbed by Zhu Qian, who hadn't figured out the situation.

It's no loss that he is a man with the title of "Bandit".

The bandit here is a joking name given to him by other [-]th Route bandits, teasing the brilliant record of robbing several trucks of soil.

It is for this reason.

Huo Guang is going to pull out his den first, and then go down from Yumen Pass to Yangguan.

There are two bandits in Yangguan.

Luo Sande along the way and Jianglong along the way, these two are not easy to deal with, so they are put behind.

After fighting these three ways, the rest of the gangsters are low-level, so there is no need to worry.

Huo Guang called all the lieutenants except Lin Yaoqing, and after a discussion, the army set out again, marching from Dunhuang County to Yumen Pass.

Lin Yaoqing stayed in Dunhuang County because of his injury.

now.

The bandits led by Zhu Qian at Yumen Pass are doing the population business.

On a mountain, they robbed women in exchange for food and money from the people.

of course.

Without exception, women with bad looks were sold off, and the good-looking ones were kept for themselves.

Zhu Qian was sitting on the chair at this time, looking at the business going on, she immediately took a sip of wine, and said in a bad mood: "Tamad, why do I want to do business with these bird people, why don't I just grab them?"

However, Fang Qing, who looked like a dog-headed military adviser, explained to him: "Boss, this is not for grabbing."

"In the battle with the imperial army, we were defeated. We have already lost such a good place as Dunhuang, so we can only stay in Yumen Pass."

"This business has to sit up slowly."

"Going to rob them now is nothing more than murder and arson. That's a one-time business. After it's done, there's no need to rob them."

"We sold the women we robbed to them. They had women and gave birth to children. After that, they were responsible for growing food, and we harvested it. What a good deal."

"Otherwise we will kill and set fire here and we will rob them all. Who shall we rob?"

"Could it be possible to go to other places to grab territory with those bandits?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qian laughed immediately, patted Fang Qing's head roughly, and said, "You're still smart, kid, I'll reward you with this drink."

Fang Qing took the drink and said happily, "Thank you, leader."

however.

While Fang Qing was drinking, Zhu Qian stretched out his hand and flicked upwards from the bottom of the bowl, not only knocking over the drink, but also splashing the other person's face.

at this time.

The bandit leader Zhu Qian said very angrily: "You still have the face to drink, if you didn't say that you would follow Na Luo Sande to fight Dunhuang and have meat to eat, I would take people to fight?"

"I didn't eat the meat, but it attracted the imperial army."

"If it wasn't for Lao Tzu's cleverness, he would run fast with his men."

"I don't know how many people will be folded inside."

Fang Qing quickly said: "Boss, I said you can't fight head-on with the imperial army. They are better equipped than us. We can fight against Dunhuang, but how can we fight with the imperial army that conquered the Xiongnu?"

"At that time, you were completely dazzled by the victory in occupying Dunhuang."

"I can't persuade you. Oh, my head, my head hurts."

Fang Qing was talking when his voice suddenly became high-pitched.

There is no other reason.

I saw Zhu Qian grabbing his ears and scolding: "You dare to say it, boy, let's talk about it, let me cut off your ears and drink."

Fang Qing immediately shouted: "Stop talking, stop talking."

Hearing this, Zhu Qian let go of her hand, and then asked, "After we parted ways with Luo Sande and Jiang Long, two bastards, I asked you to ask them about the situation. What did they say?"

Fang Qing glanced at Zhu Qian, then immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak.

However, Zhu Qian saw that Fang Qing didn't speak, so she immediately kicked Fang Qing and scolded, "Speak, are you dumb?"

Fang Qing was kicked, and then said submissively: "Boss, I'm afraid I will make you angry if I say it."

"If you don't say it, I'll still be angry. Do you want to say it?" Zhu Qian glared at Fang Qing, and continued to scold: "I told you to say it, and you just said it. How can there be so much nonsense, so I'm looking for a beating!"

talking.

Zhu Qian made a gesture to slap him.

When Fang Qing saw this, he was frightened. He immediately stretched out his arm to block it, and at the same time closed his eyes and said loudly, "Head, let me tell you what I said. The people from Luo Sande called us 'bandits'!"

"As soon as there is a war, you know how to run. One will kill ten people, and everyone will be swept away by us."

"Say we're all idiots."

heard.

Zhu Qian was furious, kicked Fang Qing to the ground, and stomped Fang Qing hard.

It was as if the person calling him a bandit was not Luo Sande's people, but his subordinate Xia Qing.

While kicking, Zhu Qian cursed, "I'll let you talk, I'll let you talk!"

"If you hadn't told me at the beginning that there was food to be robbed on the official road, I would have robbed several carts of soil and been laughed at by those robbers for so many years?"

"You bitch!"

Fang Qing curled up, lying on the ground, desperately protecting his head, and said in pain: "It's wrong, it's wrong, I know it's wrong. Boss, don't hit me."

however.

Zhu Qian continued to make up for it, cursing: "It's wrong, you fucking know it's wrong."

The words fall.

He looked up at the crowd and shouted: "Starting today, I will not allow anyone to mention the word 'bandit' in front of me. Whoever mentions it again, I will never end with him!"

Those of his subordinates naturally dared not speak when they saw the leader's brutal methods.

However, under the scolding of the leader, the business continued.

A farmer was dissatisfied that the blind box he opened out of the sack was an old woman, and immediately complained, so he was beaten by the gang again.

After a riot.

The farmer was still aggrieved and left with the old woman he bought.

As the leader, Zhu Qian watched the transaction indifferently.

Most of these sold women are not good-looking, old and decrepit.

Naturally, he would not be reluctant.

Sitting here by myself, I just suppressed the situation, so as not to have my younger brother greedy for his money and food.

What men want is nothing but money, food, and women.

Yet all three are present.

If Zhu Qian wasn't there, I'm really afraid that the younger brothers won't be able to control the situation, or they will directly turn against him.

The beating of Fang Qing just now was also done on purpose.

The purpose is to deter those restless subordinates.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly a group of people came up, wearing the clothes of local farmers, but the look in their eyes was completely different.

at this time.

Instead of queuing up to buy women like other farmers did, they shouted, "Bandit Zhu Qian, who is it?"

The words fall.

Zhu Qian's subordinates all cast strange glances.

Zhu Qian, who was sitting on a chair drinking, suddenly heard someone calling him a bandit, and immediately flew into a rage, holding a knife to kill these ignorant farmers.

"Who wanted to die just now and called me a bandit?" Zhu Qian pointed at the farmers in line with a knife.

The one who spoke stood up immediately, and did not admit that he was the one who shouted, but instead asked, "Are you Zhu Qian, the leader of these people?"

"That's right, it was me. You called me a bandit just now?" Zhu Qian scolded.

however.

The farmer who spoke shook his head, took out a lot of money from his pocket, many of them had good things like horseshoe gold, and threw them directly on the ground.

Subsequently.

The farmer said, "I didn't come to buy women. I have other things to buy."

Zhu Qian stuck the big knife on the ground, picked up Huang Zhanzhan's gold horseshoe, looked at it curiously, and said, "Is this the legendary gold horseshoe? You farmer, how do you have so much money? Well, for its sake, let me hear, what do you want to buy?"

But the farmer grinned at him and said, "Buy your life!" (End of this chapter)
