Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 133 The World Is Boiling 【Ticket Request】

At the end of August, Huo Qubing's troops returned to Jilusai from the grassland, took a short rest, and then set off again to the county town of Shuofang County.

When the towering city wall of the county city appeared at the end of the line of sight, the aura of the whole team fighting and killing all the way really calmed down and relaxed.

"Qubing, this time back to Chang'an, I'll take you out to have fun."

At the front of the team, surrounded by generals, the one in white robe riding his horse was Huo Qubing.

On the right side of him are Zhang Cigong, Su Jian and others, and on the other side are Zhao Puonu and Xiong San.

It was Zhang Cigong who spoke, winking, as if there was a treasure to be developed with Huo Qubing.

The atmosphere of the team is becoming more relaxed as they get closer to Shuofang County.

The sun is shining brightly in the afternoon.

Seeing Zhang Cigong chatting with Huo Qubing, the other generals followed suit and whispered.

And in the rear of the team, the captives escorted by the soldiers brought back trophies stretching for several miles, most of which were snatched from the evacuated Hun tribes.The first batch of things brought back from Wang Ting was more, and Wei Qing had brought them back to Beiguan ahead of schedule.

When Huo Qubing marched, he did not plunder property, avoid encumbrance, and only tried his best to complete the battle goal.

But in the few days before the retreat, Zhang Cigong and Su Jian's troops brought back all the things seized from the Huns' various departments, including livestock and captives.

The wealth obtained by the Huns from plundering the Han land in the past has gone around, and many of them have returned to the Han land.

"The leader of the Lan clan was captured alive... It is said that his daughter is a rare beauty among the Huns, and she was also captured."

"General Zhang captured her back. I don't think she is a beauty, but she has a bit of vigor."

"There are more than 30 people, and I heard that it is still the Yan family of the Xiongnu Shanyu."

Lan Tuo, the head of the Lan clan, and his daughter Lan Min, both became prisoners of the Han army and were placed behind the ranks.

Na Lanmin was a famous glamorous woman of the Xiongnu, Yi Zhixie's favorite concubine.

However, the skin of Xiongnu women is a little rougher, not as delicate and delicate as that of Han women, and their skin is as thick as fat.

"Qubing, can you give me that Xiongnu woman behind?" Zhang Cigong said in a low voice.

He has never been taboo, and he can taste all kinds of seafood.

Huo Qubing saw that the county town was approaching, so he listened attentively, and suddenly disappeared from his horse, and the voice came back: "You guys lead the team into the city by yourself, I will go into the city first to see my uncle."

Zhang Cigong, Su Jian, and Zhao Ponu looked at each other, why are they so urgent, they just leave?

At this time, a group of troops came from the direction of the county, and the leader was Taichang Zhouping who had come thousands of miles from Chang'an to meet the triumphant return of the army under the emperor's order.

Zhang Cigong and Zhao Ponu seemed to understand why Huo Qubing took the first step.

Taichang Zhou Ping rode closer and glanced at the crowd: "Xuan Champion Hou Huo Qubing accepts the order."

No one answered.

Called again, still no one.

Zhou Ping tilted his head and asked: "All the soldiers went out and made great achievements. Your Majesty specially asked me to come to meet them from Chang'an. Your Majesty has issued an edict to inform the world that Beiguan has won a great victory. Why didn't Huohou come to receive the seal?"

Zhang Cigong said: "After Taichang read the imperial decree, do you want Huohou to enter the city for the public to watch?"

Zhou Ping took it for granted: "Not only do we have to walk along the street, but we also have to go all the way back to Chang'an from Shuofang, and the important cities along the way are greeted by officials and common people from all over the place.

This is what His Majesty ordered, and it is a measure to boost the morale of our Han people, so it should be so. "

Taichang is mainly in charge of the rites of establishing a state, including heaven and earth, ancestral hall sacrifices, etc., and that's what it does.

The military exploits of defeating the Xiongnu king's court are well known in the world, and this opportunity can be used to gather the morale of the people and enhance the prestige of the country.Zhou Ping was also in high spirits, his eyes sparkling.

He glanced at the trophies of chariots and horses stretching behind him, and couldn't help being secretly shocked.

How could they have imagined that this expedition would have such fruitful results.

Huo Qubing hit the Xiongnu hard and made the world boil for it.

In the past few days, after the emperor issued an edict to all the people, people everywhere were talking about the victory of the Han army's departure from Beiguan.

Shuofang County in the rear has long been deserted by thousands of people.

This time was quite different from Huo Qubing's attack on the Huns last time. He was unknown last time, and the people had no expectations of him.

Now nearly two months have passed since the last battle, Huo Qubing's name is well known in the world.

He was able to make new achievements, and the public became very emotional when they found out, pushing his reputation to a new peak.

"All the soldiers defeated the headquarters of the Xiongnu this time, and greatly strengthened the prestige of our Han people. All the places are waiting to welcome Huohou back. Why didn't he show up?" Zhou Ping asked.

Zhang Cigong said with an 'unexpected' face: "Qu Bing said he entered the city first, and just left, didn't he meet Taichang?"

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "Huo Hou left first to avoid being paraded in the street and being watched by the people?"

"After your majesty issued the edict, the border gates came to beat the gong every day to announce that every household knew that Huo Hou was coming back today. Since Huo Hou is not here, please invite Zhang Cigong, Lieutenant of the Northern Army, and Zhao Ponu, Lieutenant of the Eagle Attack School, to replace Huo Hou and hang the crown. Enter the city!"

Hanging a crown and entering the city is equivalent to primary school students wearing big red flowers, wearing a crown and hanging colors, and then parading through the streets.

Huo Qubing enjoyed it once last time, and he was a little ashamed, but the point is that he didn't think it was necessary.

He is a general, and it is natural for him to fight for the country, so parading in the streets is avoided.

So he hid early this time, and it was Zhao Ponu and Zhang Cigong's turn to enjoy the treatment.

The emperor's order is hard to disobey, except that Huo Qubing dared to hide, and he was not afraid of being held accountable afterwards.

Zhao Ponu and Zhang Cigong didn't have the guts, Zhou Ping asked someone to dress them up, and almost put pearl powder on their faces.

As soon as they approached the county town, Zhang Cigong and Zhao Ponu were startled, the number of people who came to greet them was unexpected.

You must know that no one can better understand the viciousness and cruelty of the Huns when they invaded and plundered the border than the people at the border.

Similarly, no one expected the Huns to be defeated more than they did.

So when they heard that the headquarters of the Xiongnu was defeated by the Han army, the border people were overjoyed.

All the people in Shuofang County could not wait to flock to the county town to meet the Han army.

Before entering the city, both sides of the long street are already full of people, and as far as the eye can see, there are black crowds.

If there were no officers and soldiers lined up to stop them, there would not even be a place to move forward.

"Which one is the champion?"

"Who is the champion?"

The people scrambled to ask questions, looked at the passing soldiers and generals, and their emotions were fierce.

"It doesn't look like it... I heard that the champion Hou had the courage to be invincible. He raised his hand and overthrew the Huns' royal court and crushed the Xiongnu Shanyu to death."

Zhao Puonu was riding on the horse, and when he heard the discussion of the people on the street, his forehead was slightly sweating.

Some other people saw the Han army, but they were short and knelt down slowly on the ground.

They respected the strong army of the Han Dynasty and helped them kill the Xiongnu bandits.

"In the first year of Yuanshuo, the Xiongnu attacked and the city was destroyed. My father was hung on a horse by the Huns for fun, and dragged to death."

Some people knelt down to the Han army and wept bitterly: "I have been waiting for this day for many years..."

After the Xiongnu broke through the city, they ravaged and plundered, and similar things happened frequently at the border.

More and more people knelt silently and kowtowed to the Han army.

For the border people, it is the most joyous thing for an army to fight thousands of miles, kill the Huns royal court, and behead the Huns.

The belief that some people can survive is waiting for the Huns to be destroyed, waiting for the Huns to be destroyed, waiting for them to flee in mourning, waiting for the Han army to defeat the Huns, avenge their dead relatives, and waiting to be proud Moment.

On the street, thousands of people wept with joy.

The whole city gradually quieted down and became solemn, without the hustle and bustle just now.

Only the crisp sound of horseshoes of the Han army marched on the street.

On a turret in the center of the city, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing stood side by side, their robes fluttering when the wind blew.

Huo Qubing was also moved by the sight of people kneeling silently while overlooking the long street below.

Both of them were silent.

As a soldier, the belief behind the command of the army is probably the hope that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, the people will work happily, and serve the country loyally.

Create a flourishing age, kill all the Han and soil offenders, so that foreigners dare not move a little.

……

"You escaped today, and the road behind, and Chang'an. Zhou Ping was dodged by you once, and he won't be fooled again next time." Wei Qing said.

Huo Qubing looked at his uncle, why did he feel that he was gloating when he spoke.

He himself didn't want to parade in the streets and be watched by others, but he seemed to be happy to watch Huo Qubing parade in the streets and receive the cheers of the crowd.

It is true that there is still a long way to go back to Chang'an, Huo Qubing has a headache.

"Huo Hou lied to me so hard."

A faint voice came from behind, it was the veteran Li Guang: "Before Huo Hou set off to fight, he said that if you go to fight the Xiongnu, Beiguan will not be safe, and no one else can guard it unless I am there.

But after you left, Beiguan was so quiet that people dozed off, and there was no sign of trouble for many days. "

Li Guang had deep resentment: "The next time Huo Hou says something, I will never believe it anyway." After saying that, he left angrily.

With no one else around, Wei Qing lowered his voice and said, "There are some things you need to pay attention to.

My great man passed into His Majesty's hands, and the national strength grew day by day. I changed the forbearing style of my ancestors and declared war on the Xiongnu.If you have extraordinary achievements, you must treat extraordinary people, in order to encourage the army to develop a brave and warlike style.Your Majesty rewards the generals who have made great contributions, and punishes the defeated generals heavily.

So everyone is eager to set up martial arts. "

He also said: "Your Majesty has brought the system of no merit without merit to the extreme, so everyone respects martial arts.

When you fight on your own, you must also know how to distribute the merits of the general to your subordinates so that you can get support. "

"Besides, you are so prosperous that you have fought two wars that are unprecedented. In just two months, you have sealed off [-] households. How many people are paying attention to it?

Do you know that if you continue to seal it, what will His Majesty reward you after breaking ten thousand households? "

Huo Qubing murmured: "Uncle is afraid that I will be too sharp, Your Majesty will have nothing to seal, and eventually the monarch and his ministers will be jealous?"

This seems to be the fate of the famous generals of the past dynasties, who have achieved great achievements.

Wei Qing has always been thoughtful.

He didn't have any other thoughts, but he was reminding Huo Qubing that restraint is the way to long-term survival.

Huo Qubing smiled: "It is indeed a barrier to award a reward to ten thousand households, and after ten thousand households, one will be a very human minister, and there is no seal.

But that's because my big man's country is small.Uncle, think about it, our current national border, population, ten thousand households is indeed the biggest reward. "

Wei Qing was silent.

Huo Qubing said: "If the population and land area are doubled, tripled, or even more, will ten thousand households still be the upper limit?
External expansion is always the best way to resolve internal conflicts.

Other things can be transferred to the siege of land. Wars cost money and national power, but more land and population will in turn make the country stronger.The key is whether you can win, annex the opponent, and transform it into your own national strength.

Some battles can be fought stronger and stronger. "

This theory is really fresh, full of militarism.

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment before bursting out laughing.

There are so many things involved in expanding the border, how can it be so easy?
Wei Qing didn't know that when Huo Qubing returned to Chang'an this time, he would put certain things on the agenda and proceed, and he was even starting to make arrangements.

Wei Qing changed the subject: "It's a great fortune that you got part of the Xiongnu's national transport into the body. It won't take long, and your practice will increase."

"When you were young, you had an extraordinary talent for the art of military formations.

I estimate that your next formation may be very different. "

Wei Qing said: "Absorbing a country's luck is the most conducive to the practice of military strategists. The so-called military strategists destroy the country, and there is hope for sanctification. The military strategists who shake the national destiny have an unbreakable foundation. I have some experience in this regard..."

While the two were talking, the parade team had already approached the Sheriff's Mansion.

Taichang Zhou Ping came all the way in from the outside, went up to the attic, saw Huo Qubing, approached him and said, "Huo Hou, I found you."

"Your Majesty asked me to come here on a special trip, and I have something to explain."

After Zhou Ping's words fell, he held the ceremony and said: "Congratulations to the general first, the champion marquis defeated the Xiongnu this time, and made an outstanding contribution."

He said again: "After Huohou's battle, it is said that even the cattle and sheep of the various tribes of the Xiongnu will tremble when they hear your name, and dare not eat grass."

Of course this is a joke.

"Taichang hasn't said yet, why did His Majesty ask you to rush to Beiguan?" Huo Qubing said indifferently.
