Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 134 Breakthrough, national policy [seeking tickets]

"Your Majesty said that he has read what Lang Zhongling said. Let you go back to Chang'an to discuss it today." Zhou Ping replied.

The matter of the performance... Huo Qubing thought about it.

In addition to the joint performance with his uncle Wei Qing, Huo Qubing also made a follow-up military plan.

Others thought that his military plan was how to contain the Huns in the future.

In fact, it is not only that.

The scope of Huo Qubing's memorial was wider, and he was already considering the direction of using troops outside the Xiongnu after the newly defeated Xiongnu.

What he said was that he wanted to open up the country. After defeating the Xiongnu, he would start from the west and northeast of the Han territory first.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty had been ambitious from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and wanted to create a thousand-year hegemony and make the Siyi surrender.The Xiongnu is actually just one of the Siyi, which shows its mind.

He cultivated Huo Qubing's edge and sharpened his military skills since he was a child, hoping that Huo Qubing would become a pioneer in the future.

To be precise, he and Huo Qubing are a unity and extension of ambition.

Emperor Wu regarded Huo Qubing as the carrier and implementer of his own spirit, and he himself was the promoter behind it.

In history, if the champion Hou didn't die early... where will Han go?
Some people said that Champion Hou's rushing battle was a fluke, and if he really wanted to fight, he might not be very good.In fact, he fought six wars in six years, and he won all the big battles.

It opened up thousands of miles of territory, captured more than 15 Huns, and wiped out a large number of enemies, unmatched in the entire Western Han Dynasty.

And he did it in just six years.

Under Huo Qubing's iron-blooded conquest, the Xiongnu Empire, which let the horse whip and rule the grassland for a hundred years, bowed its head for the first time, gave up the dream of riding the Great Wall on horseback, and curled up in the bitter cold land of Mobei.

In the vast grassland, there is no place for the Huns to live or stand.

Call it a fluke?
Will the hundreds of thousands of fine cavalry of the Huns be defeated by a fluke?
The scorching sun moved westward.

At this time, Huo Qubing came back from the Xiongnu, originally planned to stay in Beiguan for a few days to investigate the dark power.

But the emperor's decree came down, and he could only return to Chang'an first.

"Uncle, there is nothing wrong with Beiguan, shall we go back to Chang'an together?" Huo Qubing asked.

In Liu Che's edict, Wei Qing was also told to go back as soon as possible, but there was no explicit urging, so Wei Qing's time was more flexible.

"You go first, I still have some things here, I need to make some arrangements."

Going back with you, we have to parade in the important towns along the way... Wei Qing shirked: "Go, it's rare for His Majesty to urge you, maybe there is something urgent."

"..."

Huo Qubing took a short rest, and in the afternoon, he led the team and set off on the journey back to Chang'an.

Zhao Puonu was accompanied by the imperial army led by Yao Zhaotong.

In the frame in the middle of the team, Huo Qubing, Daozun, Xiong San, and Taichang Zhou Ping came up: "Nowadays, it is widely rumored that Huohou's marching method can travel thousands of miles a day. This is a rare opportunity. I am about to experience it." fan."

This time when he came to Beiguan, Zhou Ping properly communicated his intention to get close to Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, two military strategists.

The carriage used for the return trip was a seized Shanyu chariot with a golden roof and a wolf fur inside.

The carriage set off, and under the protection of the imperial army, a layer of mist suddenly appeared, and it left Beiguan at a high speed.

Inside the carriage, Huo Qubing was holding an arrow cluster in his hand.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, from the development of arrow clusters, we can also see the outstanding wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship of the ancestors of the Han people in war, which is the epitome of a war process.

The earliest arrow clusters are very primitive, and most of the front ends can be sharpened.

Later, I began to consider issues such as wind resistance and penetration.The cluster of arrows is changed to a flat shape, with pointed front and rear wings, somewhat like a swallow.Later, there were more prismatic protrusions on the arrow clusters to increase the lethality.

By the time of Qin Dynasty, the arrow cluster had developed "black technology" and turned into a raised three-dimensional shape with three or four edges.

Research by later generations found that the shape, radian, and angle of the arrow clusters of the Qin Dynasty were similar to the bullets of later generations, so they had an unimaginably powerful armor-piercing property and could penetrate armor.

The arrow clusters of the Han Dynasty basically followed the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty. The development of the arrow clusters has become mature, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs.

After Huo Qubing got into the car, he pinched a bronze arrow cluster to look at it, and sometimes he would pinch the arrow cluster with his hands to adjust the shape of its front end.Zhou Ping, who was watching, was very curious, but at the same time a little shocked.

The bronze arrow cluster was like ooze in Huo Qubing's hands, and he kept changing and adjusting the shape of the part.

What kind of strange power is this... Zhou Ping observed silently for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Huo Hou is studying the arrow cluster?"

"Just take a look." Huo Qubing said casually.

It would be strange for you to just look at it casually... Zhou Ping thought to himself.

Huo Qubing put away the cluster of arrows, then lightly closed his eyes, his thoughts sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and he practiced a shallow level of warming and nourishing.

His Sea Soldier Talisman, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger are all glowing.

Inside the chariot, as he practiced, there were faint clangs and rumblings of soldiers, as if the sound of a battle on the battlefield, and the temperature seemed to be dropping.

Dao Zun didn't take the changes in the car as disobedience, and also closed his eyes and meditated, motionless.

Xiong San didn't think it was disobedient, and sat on the outermost edge, holding the air-dried beef captured from the Huns, eating one bite at a time, enjoying himself.

Zhou Ping took it as a disobedience, feeling as if a knife and ax were hanging on his neck.The killing intent in the chariot became more and more intense, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly. A soldier's edge rising behind Huo Qubing was invisible and intangible, but in the eyes of Tong practitioners, it could be seen that its edge seemed to be able to shine with the heavens and the earth , in full swing.

Huo Qubing also did not expect that he would break through the primordial spirit realm by casually cultivating at a shallow level on the frame.

Yuanshen practice has nothing to do with one's own strategist realm, it is a kind of "growth" that belongs exclusively to Yuanshen.

Of course, the benefits of Yuanshen breakthrough are also not small.

Due to the different degrees of condensedness, the primordial spirit is manifested at the beginning, and then wandered in the mind.

It has only been a few months since Huo Qubing broke into the realm of heaven and man, and he is currently at the level of the primordial spirit.

This raid on the Huns shook part of the Huns' national fortune, and the benefits they gained were beyond imagination.

He just took a car to nourish himself and tried to push his soul, so he easily crossed the Immortal Ascension Boundary and entered the third stage of the military master's soul cultivation—Zongheng!
Yuanshen has reached the vertical and horizontal realm, which means that it is more concise than Shenyou, and can traverse the world.

The primordial spirit at this level is like the legendary god who roams the world. He can travel thousands of miles in the day and night, see the sea of ​​clouds from above, and enter the five oceans to capture dragons.

And the military master's primordial spirit practice is combined with the yin body, and it has powerful combat attributes.

In the fourth stage, it is virtual and real, corresponding to the method of virtual and real in the art of war, which means turning virtual into reality.

Ignoring Zhou Ping's surprise, Huo Qubing nourished his soul all the way, indulging in his own practice.

In the ensuing journey, the group stopped for a while in Shangjun, south of Shuofang, and Beidi, north of Chang'an, two big counties.

At this time, the whole world is praising the achievements of the Han army in the Northern Expedition of the Huns. When entering the city, it is inevitable that there will be crowds of people surrounded by thousands of people.

When we arrived in Chang'an, it was already September [-]th.

There is also a lot of excitement when entering the city.

Huo Qubing came all the way to Weiyang Palace.

At noon, in the front hall, Emperor Wu led a hundred officials to welcome the army.

"Your Majesty, my minister Huo Qubing is fortunate enough to not disgrace his life. He has defeated the Xiongnu's army, but unfortunately he failed to kill Shanyu Yizhixie." Huo Qubing performed the salute in front of the hall, his tone was low, and he had the aura of a general returning from a hundred battles.

"Lang Zhongling is the general of our great Han Dynasty. He conquered the Quartet for me and broke the troubles of the Huns. It is a blessing for the people and a blessing for the Han Dynasty."

With a solemn face, Liu Che said slowly: "You led an army to defeat the elite Xiongnu who were several times larger than yourself. This is the contribution to the stability of the country. I am deeply gratified."

He personally stepped forward to help Huo Qubing up, which was also part of the national ceremony for the army to return to the court.

At this time, it is the official award and the emperor's edict is read out.

The whole process, written by historians, will be recorded in the history books and passed on to future generations.

"In the summer of the sixth year of Yuanshuo, the general Wei Qing and the champion Hou Huo Qubing commanded [-] troops to attack the Xiongnu and broke the order in the royal court. The Chinese army had tens of thousands of elite troops... cattle and horses were captured stretching for several miles. Returning to the court, the emperor greeted him personally. "

There is also the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven when the army returns and the soldiers return to their sheaths.

By the time everything was over, it was almost evening.

In the study room, the officials leave.

Only Huo Qubing, the emperor, old prime minister Gongsun Hong, and acting prime minister Li Cai remained.

These are also the two important court officials who knew before the expedition that they were going to attack the Huns.

Liu Che asked directly: "Qubing, you said in the memorial table that the Xiongnu must be defeated first, and then the Qiang and Di tribes in the west, and the northeast to annex Wuhuan, Fuyu and other tribes?"

As soon as Liu Che's words came out, both Gong Sunhong and Li Cai's hearts jumped.

"Yes, after we wipe out these scattered tribes and unify our forces, we can go to the Western Regions to fill the border of our Han Dynasty." Huo Qubing said with emotion.

Liu Che's eyes sparkled, his body leaned forward slightly, and he said, "Did you prepare for this matter, or did you just think about it recently?
Do you have a specific plan? Expanding the border involves many things. Have you considered it in detail? "

Huo Qubing asked for a pen and paper to draw on a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and he drew a map very skillfully.

Gongsun Hong and Li Cai watched from the side, thinking to himself: "This looks like a rooster's terrain, and the dotted line at the end looks like a leaf... The Champion Hou wants to encourage His Majesty to lay down such a large border area?
My goodness... If the expansion of the country is more than doubled as shown in this picture, how much consumption will it take, and how many years will it take to obtain it? "

The two looked at Huo Qubing, then at the emperor with piercing eyes, and they always felt that the two had already discussed it.

Liu Che took over the border area drawn by Huo Qubing, inspected it attentively, and remained silent for a long time.

As shown in the picture, it is the surrender of Siyi that he has been looking forward to for many years, and the territory of the country will be returned to the Han.

To be an emperor for thousands of years, without waiting for Huafa, I understand how to get sick... Liu Che was happy in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"The places specially circled by the minister can be attacked first, absorbed and digested, and then it depends on the situation.

According to the minister's conception, the army will be deployed twice a year in spring and autumn, with at most ten thousand troops each time, and the above-mentioned tribes can be defeated.After the annexation of the Western Regions, if the national strength allows, it may be possible to completely wipe out the troubles of the Huns, and merge their borders into our Han territory. "

Huo Qubing's eyes were bright, and he looked forward to being a hero, making people have no doubt that he said that every time he sent out a thousand troops, he would be able to destroy all the surrounding tribes.

After all, he had just defeated tens of thousands of elite Huns with the same number of troops.

At this time, no one has any reason to refute.

Li Cai gulped and spit: "Huohou wants to wipe out the barbarians so that I, a big man, will not be disturbed by the surrounding tribes.

This matter...needs more details.Some areas are empty and lonely, and the products are not abundant, so we don't want them. "

Huo Qubing said: "The so-called emptiness and loneliness are nothing more than the undulating mountains to the southwest. It can be used as a natural military barrier for my big man. Why not, yes."

Liu Che nodded: "Well said, we will."

You two want to... No, Huo Qubing is really poor and extravagant, so tyrannical, how much will it consume to conquer this huge country, and the national strength can support it... Li Cai was worried.

However, the old prime minister, Gongsun Hong, was also looking down at the map drawn by Huo Qubing, thoughtful and silent.

"Huo Hou has thought about it, such a waste of troops will drag down the national treasury." Li Cai frowned deeply.

Huo Qubing plans to take all the territory owned by future generations into his hands first, and then expand it depending on the situation.

After the two big battles, he already had the right to speak on behalf of the military strategists and give suggestions on this matter, so he spoke bluntly, revealing his thoughts of planning for many years: "To defeat these places, the use of troops will be exhausted. Of course it is true.

But Fuyu (north of Gyeonggi), Wuhuan (Ji Province) and the land behind them are fertile and the most favorable for planting.Can extend the high yield of farmers, planting corn and wheat.The property income will not be weaker than that of my surrounding Chang'an, Guanzhong. "

Huo Qubing said calmly: "I chose to attack these places and expand my territory in Han. It is not a waste of national power. In the future, you should know that what I said is true."

Of course Li Cai didn't believe it, but the emperor was obviously moved.

Perhaps, the emperor had a similar plan long ago, but he didn't make it clear. Taking advantage of Huo Qubing's new victory over the Xiongnu, it was exactly what he wanted.

Li Cai's brain was buzzing, and he thought that if the astrology was passed on to me, if all the money was spent on wars, the treasury would be empty, and the national power would be weakened, wouldn't I be infamous through the ages.

The study was silent for a while.

It will take a while for this matter to settle down. Liu Che felt that it was almost the end of the day, so he waved his hand to let Li Cai and Gong Sunhong go down.

After the two of them left, he took out a small box from under the low seat, it was very delicate, square in shape, and it was a jade box.

Handed the box to Huo Qubing: "You break into the Yin Body Warrior Soul Realm, this is what I prepared for you.

Also, in the next few days, Zhen will issue an edict to let you and Ping Xian get married as soon as possible. "

"Okay, you have returned from the battle, go to rest."

Liu Che's eyes were still looking at the map drawn by Huo Qubing, and he sometimes used a pen to outline and adjust it, including the border of the Xiongnu, so he looked at it again.

It's getting dark.

Back in the mansion, Huo Qubing took a quick bath, and then came to the study, ready to start practicing.

Before practicing, take out the small jade box given by the emperor.

"Don't look at it, it's a soul pill."

Daoist's voice came from outside the window: "When you come back, I will feel it.

In that box, there are also military and national fortune items that the emperor divided into you.Tsk, the emperor favors you.But you have to think about it, after absorbing this thing, it will be completely tied to the fate of the Han Dynasty, and it will be even more difficult to seek the road to the military saint. "

Uncle said that military strategists will win the fortune of the country, and there is hope of becoming a saint, and Dao Zun also said that being entangled with the fate of the country will make it even more difficult to become a saint... Huo Qubing wondered: "Why did the Taoist say that?"
