my brother champion

The carriage was bumping along the official road, but Huo Guang couldn't let go of the letter in his hand for a long time.

The carvings of old friends are like leaves falling in the wind.

At most, it will be sad for a while.

But the events surrounding Lin Yaoqing's death were obviously unusual.

The mere Dawan Kingdom, even if the whole country is a soldier, should not be the opponent of the Han army.With Lin Yaoqing's ability, he had never been in danger of his life in bloody battles with the Xiongnu, but he fell into a ditch in this small country of Dayuan.

This is not normal!

Huo Guang closed his eyes and thought about the possibilities on the other side of the battlefield.

but.

Now is not the time for random suspicion.

The carriage galloped all the way, and when it arrived at Dunhuang County, a group of guards suddenly came to report: "Report, General Chariot and Cavalry, the court has an order to deploy 1 evil boys from Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County. More than [-] prisoners will be pardoned to join the army, a total of [-] people will be deployed to the general to conquer Dawan."

Hear what the guard said.

Huo Guang suddenly opened his eyes.

The imperial court suddenly deployed troops for him, which was a good thing.

but.

Huo Guang really couldn't praise the fighting power of the army composed of evil boys and prisoners!
Whether it is the feudal and decadent ancient dynasty, or the modern era of scientific and advanced ideas.

Once a war breaks out between countries!
This kind of emergency recruitment of soldiers always happens, and it is not uncommon for prisoners to be released from prisons to join the army.

But these people have one very obvious characteristic.

That means going to the battlefield and being cannon fodder.

As the commander-in-chief of the expedition against the Han Dynasty, Li Guangli may be an idiot general, but the soldiers under his command are still capable.

One general is incompetent and drags down the three armies.

The first factor to trigger this condition is that the enemy cannot be weak.

According to the intelligence collected by Huo Guang about the Dayuan Kingdom, he knew that Li Guangli's troops failed because after conquering Ershi City, they encountered the army led by King Yu Cheng of Yu Cheng City.

And King Yu Cheng, according to modern parlance, is a hawkish aristocrat within the Dawan Kingdom.

It was also he who strongly advocated fighting against the Han army.

Judging from the intelligence collected, King Yu Cheng is a very powerful opponent.At the beginning, the Han Dynasty was invaded by the Huns every year, but the Dawan Kingdom was so weak, but it survived repeatedly between the Dayue clan and the Xiongnu.

This has a lot to do with King Yu Cheng.

Who are the Huns?

That is, if you are strong, he will run away; if you are weak, he will eat you to death.

The fact that the Dawan Kingdom has been able to stand for many years under the power of the Huns' cavalry without being harmed by them is enough to show that King Yu Cheng is by no means a loser like Li Guangli.

not to mention.

This guy still has [-] elite soldiers. At this moment, the court is only allocating [-] cannon fodder to Huo Guang. What's the use of letting them go to the battlefield?

then.

Huo Guang, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't think much and said directly: "I know, don't worry about him, we will continue to rush to Ershi City as quickly as possible."

"what?"

When the reporting guard heard Huo Guang's order, he was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "General Chariot and Cavalry, but the [-] soldiers mobilized by the imperial court have not been gathered yet, why don't you wait?"

Hear this.

Huo Guang snorted softly and said, "What are you waiting for? Wait until the army of Dawan Kingdom comes over?"

"The country of Dawan is no more than a tiny place."

"No matter how good the rumored bloody horse is, His Majesty will not go to war."

"This battle is for the sake of the emperor's face."

"The king of Dawan Kingdom, Wu Wu, killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the imperial court. Dawan Kingdom is a small country, and Li Guangli's army was defeated. His Majesty has been extremely angry. If they really let them defeat the Han Dynasty, At the border, even if we mobilize 1 people and win here, we will still lose."

"Winning or losing is small, but the Han Dynasty's face is big."

"If we can't even control Dawan, then how can the countries in the Western Regions be willing to submit to my great Han?"

After saying this, the guard said nothing.

The carriage that Huo Guang was riding in went directly out of Dunhuang County and headed towards the countries in the Western Regions.

As for the [-] soldiers and horses recruited by the imperial court, Huo Guang looked down upon them.

why?
Because among the six thousand prisoners, a large number were the bandits he sent in when he personally suppressed the rebellion in the northwest.His own fighting ability was too low, but when he entered the battlefield, it might have had the opposite effect.

As for the evil boy?
It's also very simple.

Most of them were local teenagers with bad conduct who were captured and sent to the army.

If Confucianism cannot educate them, then they will be sent to the army as cannon fodder.

It still takes a lot of time to get from Dunhuang to Ershi City. In the middle, you have to pass through the entire "Western Region Protectorate" that has not yet been naturalized as a Han Dynasty.

The person who controls the power here is King Wusun Kunmo.

At present, King Wusun Kunmo has proposed marriage to the Han Dynasty, and the relationship is currently developing in a good direction, so Huo Guang and his party did not encounter any trouble when passing through this area.

The only trouble.

It's just that the road is bumpy and the carriage cannot pass.

After all, the official system of the Han Dynasty had not yet reached this point!

a few days later.

After passing through this area, Huo Guang led Zhao Daniu and finally arrived at Ershi City.At this time, the remnant troops led by Li Guangli were stationed in Ershi City. There were not many elite soldiers left in the southern camp, and their morale was very low.

Huo Guang walked into the gate tower of Ershi City, feeling very strange in his heart.

The remnant of Li Guangli's army was huddled in the city, with only more than [-] people left. Why didn't King Yu Cheng lead his men to attack?

Because Huo Guang was followed by Zhao Daniu.

Zhao Daniu's tall body immediately attracted the remaining soldiers of Li Guangli.

among them.

There were many generals from the Southern Camp who recognized Huo Guang immediately.

"General Chariot and Cavalry, General Chariot and Cavalry is here!"

I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers gathered around, chatting with Huo Guang.

As usual, Huo Guang comforted these soldiers who were depressed after losing the battle, and then asked: "Where is General Li Guangli? Go call him to see me!"

The words fall.

Then someone went to notify General Li Guangli.

After a while.

Li Guangli put on his military uniform and ran towards Huo Guang, saying, "Are you General Chariot and Cavalry? Are you here to inform His Majesty of your permission to return to the imperial court?"

Huo Guang rushed here non-stop on the day he received His Majesty's appointment.

He didn't even pay attention to the imperial court's request to recruit soldiers from the four counties of Liangzhou, and came directly.

and so.

Li Guangli didn't know the news from the court.

Huo Guang walked to Li Guangli and wanted to talk about it directly, but suddenly he smelled a strange fragrance, so he moved his nose and smelled it again, and found that it was the fragrance of rouge.

then!

He snorted softly and said: "General Li, you are living happily in Ershi City, right?"

"No, no!" Li Guangli looked slightly embarrassed, and then said: "In a foreign country, it is not easy to lead troops to fight, and I am very mentally exhausted. Only by relieving fatigue with the prostitutes in the camp can I have the willpower to persevere. Until now.”

Camp prostitutes, there are such things in the Han army.

but.

If it is not recognized by the court, it is taken secretly.

But a lord will lead this thing?
Huo Guang has never heard of it!

It was okay if Li Guangli didn't explain, but when he did, he became very angry.

Huo Guang glared at Li Guangli and said, "To relieve fatigue? Hmph, I think you should think carefully about whether your head can be saved after this battle is over!"

I heard Huo Guangyi say.

Li Guangli couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.But then he seemed to think of something, so he asked: "Since you said that, then I want to know, why are you here?"

Huo Guang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and then glanced at Zhao Daniu behind him.

then.

Zhao Daniu took out the imperial edict.

Li Guangli took it and took a look, only to learn that Huo Guang had taken over his current position as commander-in-chief.

In an instant.

His surprised expression turned into something flattering, and he said: "Since the imperial court has appointed General Chariot and Cavalry to replace me as the main general in the expedition against Dawan, then I will retire to the position of deputy general!"

"Lieutenant general?" Huo Guang sneered and said, "Don't think about it. I'll let Daniel be the deputy general. As for your coming, tie him up!"

The words fall.

The soldiers in Nanda Camp who were not convinced by him all stepped forward to arrest him.

But this guy also had cronies, who immediately protected him and confronted him.

Li Guangli was shocked at this time and said: "Huo Guang, this edict does not say that you should arrest me. Don't forget that your Majesty's Mrs. Li is the sister of this general!"

The words fall.

He then glared at the Nanda camp soldiers who came up to surround him and said, "You dog-like things, General, who dares to touch me?"

In this regard.

Huo Guang smiled coldly and waved to Zhao Daniu behind him.

Received Huo Guang's instruction.

Zhao Daniu, who had been driven out of Nanda Camp by Li Guangli because of a conflict with Li Guangli, immediately stepped forward.

Seeing that Li Guangli's cronies were trying to stop him, Zhao Daniu slapped them one by one and knocked them to the ground.

After the first few people were beaten to the ground.

The henchmen behind also flinched.

see.

Zhao Daniu ignored the trusted guards and stepped forward directly to capture Li Guangli.

Li Guangli, who was captured, continued to shout, "Huo Guang, you can't tie me up, you have to capture me. King Yu Cheng's [-] troops will immediately march to Ershi City and slaughter us all." !”

Kill them all?

Huo Guang smiled coldly and said: "Hmph, you have already been defeated by Yu Chengcheng, how can you still have the nerve to brag about yourself like this?"

"Or?"

"You idiot general, do you think I am inferior to you now that I am in power?"

"Ha ha."

The words fall.

Huo Guang gave Zhao Daniu a look, and Zhao Daniu dragged him down.

While being dragged, Li Guangli hurriedly said: "No, no, no, General Huo Guang, that's not what I meant."

"Don't you want to know."

"Li and his troops have been in Ershi City for so many days. Why didn't King Yu Cheng attack the city?"

"There's not even any intention of siege."

Hearing Li Guangli's words, Huo Guang's eyes narrowed slightly.

What Li Guangli said.

This was what was strange to him. Since entering the city, Huo Guang had not seen King Yu Cheng's soldiers besieging Ershi City.

Even if King Yu Cheng doesn't have any siege weapons.

He led more than [-] people and surrounded the city of Ershi. The water was blocked and they were starved to death.

Ancient wars.

There are many cases of siege.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Guang stopped Zhao Daniu and said, "Tell me, why?"

However, Li Guangli signaled to Zhao Daniu and said: "General Chariot and Cavalry wants to know the answer, why don't you let this guy let go of this general?"

Huo Guang ignored him gently, waved his hand gently and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

heard.

Li Guangli immediately said quickly: "I said, I said, that's what happened."

"On that day, King Yu Cheng actually pursued him to Ershi City with [-] soldiers and horses, but he had no siege weapons."

"Coincidentally."

"There was a pro-Han nobleman in Dawan State named Mo Cai. This man's idea was peace talks. He convinced King Yu Cheng that as long as the Han Dynasty would not ask them for horses in the future, he would also pay compensation for this war. Just the loss for them.”

Hearing Li Guangli's words, Huo Guang immediately looked at him angrily and said, "What, compensation? Wuwu of Dawan State killed our envoy of the Han Dynasty. The blame lies with him. It is up to the court to settle the score with them!"

"big cow!"

"Drag this traitor who collaborates with the enemy and give him fifty military sticks. He will then be taken back to Chang'an and your Majesty will judge him!"

When Daniel heard this, he immediately said: "No."

When Li Guangli heard that Huo Guang wanted to punish him with fifty army sticks, he immediately said: "This general has not collaborated with the enemy, nor has he agreed to any request from the Dawan Kingdom. I am just delaying and waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court."

"Huo Guang, you can't mess around!"

"King Yu Cheng has [-] elite soldiers and generals under his command. You did not bring reinforcements this time. Now there are only less than [-] defeated soldiers in the city. They are no match for King Yu Cheng!"

Huo Guang ignored Li Guangli and asked Daniel to drag Li Guangli down.

and.

In front of all the soldiers, he was punished with fifty military sticks, and Li Guangli was beaten to the point of dying.

after that.

Huo Guang asked people to count the remaining soldiers in Second Division City and investigate the reasons for Lin Yaoqing's death in battle.

As expected.

Lin Yaoqing's death has nothing to do with Li Guangli!

It was a continuous rainy day.

Li Guangli ordered the school captain Lin Yaoqing to lead his men to carry firearms and sneak attack Yu Chengcheng.

Even though Lin Yaoqing explained to Li Guangli that firearms could not be used in rainy days, Li Guangli did not listen at all. He was immersed in the joy of winning the title of "General of the Second Division" and was extremely arrogant.

he thinks.

Even without the power of firearms, the elites of the Han Dynasty, coupled with his surprise attack on rainy days, were enough to eliminate King Yu Cheng.

But he didn't think of it.

The most powerful army in Dayuan Kingdom is the [-] soldiers and horses led by King Yu Cheng.Not only did the opponent prepare for the Han people's surprise attack on Yucheng City in the rain, they even set up an ambush outside the city.

The firearms of the Han army were not only unusable on rainy days, but also extremely heavy.

What was originally a siege weapon turned into a liability.

Tens of thousands of Han troops were killed by King Yu Cheng. They abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in confusion.Lin Yaoqing, in order to cut off the pursuit of King Yu Cheng's 4000 elite soldiers, led his troops to stay behind. This allowed [-] Han soldiers to escape without being completely wiped out.

Lin Yaoqing, on the other hand, fell into the siege of King Yu Cheng's tribe.

Battle to the death!

It is said that it was King Yu Cheng who personally cut off Lin Yaoqing's head.

After knowing these.

Huo Guang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but he understood that he had arrived at Ershi City and was about to face a new round of war.

at this time.

You must keep a clear mind and don't get angry.

Li Guangli cannot be killed.

But King Yu Cheng must die!

After thinking about it.

Huo Guang called the guards calmly and said: "Go, find someone who understands the writing of Dawan, write a letter, and submit it to King Yu Cheng, and declare a war!" (End of this chapter)
