Chapter 644: Unprecedented in a Thousand Years, Watch the Power of Fire [Ask for votes]

Chang'an, noon.

It's nearly May, and spring is blooming.

Liu Qing was sitting in his mansion, stroking the window and looking at the courtyard of the inner house. The lakeside vegetation was lush and fragrant with the wind.

There has been no news from my husband for ten months.

After the war that day, Liu Qing returned home and waited for several days before he realized that Huo Qubing's injury might be much more serious than he thought.

At this time, Huo Qubing had been away from the front line for ten months and had not been seen. It was not known what was going on.

Liu Qing's worries are growing day by day.

"The king of champions comes into being. The luck of heaven and earth is in harmony with the destiny of the country. Everything will be fine."

Qin Qingyu came to the house ten months ago, wearing a simple Taoist robe, stood aside and said to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing nodded slightly and said nothing.

Qin Qingyu sighed softly and turned around.

Liu Qing sat by the window for a while, and then came out of the bedroom. Her skirt was flowing, and she came to the small lake, looking down at the silhouette in the water.

Suddenly a bird flew down from the sky to the lakeside, holding a wooden slip made of random materials in its long beak.

The slip fell into Liu Qing's hand, with a line of handwriting written on it: "Qing'er, I will go home later and warm up the bed."

Liu Qing was stunned, his face instantly filled with joy.

Even without asking, one would know that it was Huo Qubing who sent messages to people through the bird, and he controlled the bird to come back to send messages and make fun of himself.

"I am in the palace, discussing something with His Majesty."

Huo Qubing switched to using lotus leaves to convey messages to his wife and concubines.

"Come on."

Liu Qing picked up the train of her skirt and trotted back to the bedroom. She looked overjoyed and called her attendants over, giving various instructions to prepare.

The entire palace suddenly became busy.

The cooks are busy frying and frying, delicacies from the mountains and seas, flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, all kinds of ingredients.

Soon after, the big cat, Fat Tiger, and the bronze beast returned to the house first to ward off evil spirits and jumped over the wall.

Weiyang Palace.

"His Majesty."

"Champion King!"

When Huo Qubing walked into the study, most of the emperor and ministers at the Jiuqing level were present.

Li Cai, Zhang Tang, and Dong Zhongshu returned from the Western Front.

Huo Guang also sat behind Dong Zhongshu sternly.More than a year of training has made him increasingly mature, with a slight stubble growing on the corners of his mouth and a focused expression.

There are also upstarts such as Sang Hongyang, all of whom are on the list.

When everyone saw Huo Qubing, they all showed respect and stood up to greet him.

Huo Qubing's martial arts today have reached an unattainable level, beyond the scope of court battles, so he can win the respect of almost everyone regardless of his martial arts.

Including some civil servants who had a bad relationship with him, their attitudes have now changed drastically.

This is like a rooster, no matter how majestic and tall he is, there will always be other roosters who are dissatisfied and dare to fight with him.

But if the rooster turns into an ostrich, all the chickens will be confused.

Because it's not an order of magnitude at all, I can't even think of fighting.

Huo Qubing has now grown to the level of an ostrich, and no chicken will have the desire to fight with him.

Everyone greeted each other and took their seats.

Before Huo Qubing arrived, the emperor summoned the ministers to discuss state affairs.

Although there is a war taking place on the east and west fronts, internal affairs are still progressing in an orderly manner.

At present, the Han Dynasty is divided into 99 state capitals, and there are countless things to do every day.

Farming, military, civil affairs, commercial affairs, etc.

At present, the number of ministers in the court alone has more than doubled compared to four years ago.

Below the prime minister level, two more assistant prime ministers were established to help Li Cai as director.

The remaining ministries and yamen have also increased their official staff accordingly.

The current Han Dynasty issued orders to promote favors, and also formulated the laws of left officials and the law of additional benefits, strictly prohibiting princes and clans from participating in politics.Promote talented people in an eclectic way.The Provincial History Department was also established to strengthen control over various state capitals.

The emperor also actively reformed the currency system, prohibiting local minting of money, and implemented systems such as salt and iron official management and equal loss standards.

Taxes were levied on merchants; at the same time, an inspection system was established to promote filial piety, integrity, talents, virtuous and upright people from all over the country. In addition to the imperial college in Chang'an, academic palaces were established in various counties and cities to promote education.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty has repeatedly expanded and recruited troops, and the Han Dynasty has a strong army of 160 million men.

There are more than [-] elite soldiers in hundreds of battles.

There are another 40 reserve soldiers, ready to fill the vacancies in the war.

The total number of standing troops reached 200 million to cope with the impact of the Xi tribe.

At this time, the Han Dynasty was at its peak of civil and military affairs.

To illustrate the changes in the past few years, they defeated the Huns, conquered Minyue, Dongou, Nanyue, and Wei's Koryo, managed the southwestern barbarians, and annexed more than thirty countries in the Western Regions, including all the tribes in the far north.

They went east to exterminate the Dahe clan, and to the west they swept across powerful countries such as the Great Yueshi and Patti, and advanced to the Mediterranean.

Zhang Qian is currently on a mission for several years, surveying various places and communicating with the Han central and local areas.

At this time, the Han Dynasty's civil, political and martial arts gradually reached a peak not seen in thousands of years.

If there is no war, the emperor will prepare for the next conferment of Zen to once again promote the national destiny.

After Huo Qubing arrived, everyone's conversation turned to the war on the Eastern Front.

Some civil and military officials expressed concern that the Xi people had landed on Han soil between Shanggu County and Yuyang County and entered the territory of the original Xiongnu.

Huo Qubing only reported to the emperor that he deliberately left a gap along the way to lure the enemy deeper.

In addition, only when he was on the Western Front, he discussed military matters with Wei Qing and Shadow, and Dong Zhongshu listened to them live.

This is the most important military secret of the Han Dynasty, and no one else knows about it.

The strategy itself is quite obscure, and victory or defeat can be decided in a matter of seconds. Even those who are proficient in military affairs can hardly see that it is a strategy, so there are many people who are worried.

When the ministers saw Huo Qubing, they felt like they were seeing a savior, with eager eyes, hoping that he would come back to turn the tide.

However, Huo Qubing kept his mouth shut and only said that he would stay in Chang'an for a while and then return to the front line to command the troops.

The ministers looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After the small court meeting was over, the ministers left the study.Taichang Zhou Ping and others were worried and gathered together to discuss: "I thought that when the champion king came back, he would have a plan for the tripod, but I didn't expect it and I didn't have any good ideas."

"The troops of the Naxi tribe are surging like a swarm of ants coming out of their nest. The last time they attacked the eastern front, they lost hundreds of thousands of our elite men in one battle!"

"Such a powerful enemy has never happened before."

Dazai Liu Linfeng, who was born in the clan, has a thin face and a worried look on his face: "If the last battle happens again and our big man loses another [-] elites, I am afraid that the battle line will collapse."

The prince's young master, Zhuang Qingzhai, was a man whose name would be passed down to future generations, after his meritorious service in the founding of the country.

His face was pale and beardless, and he was among the dispersed ranks of civil servants, echoing: "From what the champion king said, he also suffered from the fact that he did not have a way to defeat the enemy.

In the study just now, I asked repeatedly, but the champion only said that he would return to the front line later to observe the enemy's situation and then decide. "

"Alas! My big man seems to be strong now, but in fact, a crisis may break out at any time, and the reversal of strength is imminent.

It's frightening. I'm going to visit the champion later and tell him my pros and cons. "

Zhou Ping said: "I will go with you. I am afraid that the champion king has won too many battles and has the intention of underestimating the enemy, so I should go to him. The current situation is very critical. If we cannot defeat the enemy, the country will be destroyed."

Huo Qubing had a secret discussion with the emperor, Dong Zhongshu, in his study.

They were both overjoyed to learn that he had recovered from his injuries.

By the time he returned to his mansion, it was already afternoon.

As expected, a group of civil servants and military generals gathered at the palace to discuss the current situation.

Huo Qubing and the emperor had already discussed the follow-up response, and the methods could not be leaked. Some things would not work if told.

The ministers discussed the situation in the palace, frothing at the mouth. Seeing that Huo Qubing didn't take it seriously, they couldn't help but become more worried when they left, as if they had seen the tragic scene of the Han Dynasty's defense line being broken.

"What should we do? The champion really has a scornful heart. He doesn't care at all about what I said."

After Zhuang Qingzhai left the house, he lamented: "Seeing that military disaster is imminent, do we have to suffer a huge defeat before we can pay attention to it?"

……

After all the ministers left, there was a family banquet at the palace.

Wives and concubines, Qin Qingyu, Luo Shina, Dong Zhongshu, Huo Guang and other close people gathered at the house.

After everyone dispersed and night fell, it was the husband and wife's turn to say goodbye and reunite.

When Huo Qubing returned to his dormitory, Liu Qing had already bathed and changed into a silk and brocade skirt, and was sitting by the window.

The moonlight shines in, and the people beside me look like the moon, and the bright wrists are covered with frost and snow.

Couples gathered together and whispered.

The scenery is beautiful.

Huo Qubing made a breakthrough this time and got the power of the dragon ball into his body. The power in his body was violent and uncontrollable. He first let his wife and concubines experience the strength after the breakthrough. It was completely ostrich level, not the same magnitude.

Liu Qing, Bai Nanyu, and Zhuo Qingke fell asleep one after another.

Huo Qubing came to his son Huo Shan's room alone in his clothes.

In the night, Huo Huan slept soundly. In a blink of an eye, she was over two years old, with a chubby face.

Huo Qubing was a little worried that his son would grow into a fat man in the future.

He looked at it for a moment, and with the insight of Shang Shangce watching the fire from the other side, he saw a wisp of black energy between Huo Shan's eyebrows, hiding it very secretly.

If it weren't for the best option of watching the fire from the other side, there would be no way to gain insight.

Finally, the power penetrated into his side... Huo Qubing came back and noticed something was wrong the first time he saw his son.

Who did it?
He did not help his son remove the black energy between his eyebrows, otherwise the other party would immediately react.

This breath is in a dormant state, has not yet been activated, and is harmless to the body.Let it stay in his son's body for a while longer... Huo Qubing stroked his fat son's face with his hand.

He came to the study and thought about what to do next.

The battle with the Xi tribe, passed down from the hands of Emperor Qin, has been a game that lasted for hundreds of years.

The moment Huo Qubing officially killed the empress, the situation entered a new turning point.

He thought about what he was going to do next several times in his mind, then put away his thoughts and started practicing.

Under the influence of watching the fire from across the bank, Huo Qubing once again saw through the appearance of the world, from the "outside" to the "inside", trying to get closer to the true origin.

When he tried to delve deeper into the real world, something wonderful happened.

He seemed to be traveling in time and space, heading against the current to the source, approaching the core of the birth of heaven and earth.

As a military strategist, when he took the first step, he saw the world was in chaos at the end of Qin and the beginning of Han, and wars broke out one after another.

In all the wars, he saw the most dazzling person, the Marquis of Huaiyin Han Xin, a monument to military strategism.

He commanded a series of battles that will be passed down to future generations, such as the Battle of Jingxing, a last-ditch battle, the Battle of Weishui, in which the Qi and Chu coalition forces were flooded, and the Chu general Long Qie was killed; in the Battle of Gaixia, he deployed five army formations to lure the enemy, and finally defeated Xiang Yu's army. Xiang Yu was forced to commit suicide in Wujiang River.

What Huo Qubing saw and heard at this time was different from anything before.

He was like a bystander, gaining insight into the secrets of war, but also like being personally involved in the war, down to every detail.

He stretched out his hand and obtained the brand of heaven and earth from each battle, picked up the aura of military strategists, and absorbed the marks of the military front left on the battlefield.

Huo Qubing continued to move forward, and the world changed again before his eyes.

He arrived at a point in time closer to the origin, where war was still raging.

Those were the wars in which Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and settled the Central Plains.

He saw the shining generals, the Qin generals Wang Jian and Meng Tian, ​​and the Zhao generals Li Mu and Lian Po who appeared when they destroyed the Six Kingdoms.

Four famous generals of the Warring States Period.

One more step forward, time travels backwards, during the Warring States Period, all countries attack each other, and the murderous god of Qin rises from the sky, shining for thousands of years, and his troops are invincible.

Huo Qubing took the fourth step, and the scene before his eyes flew by. What he saw were Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wu Qi and other great military masters and sages of the past dynasties.

It was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a time when a hundred schools of thought were contending, and countless ideas were colliding!

Huo Qubing could only go as far as the Spring and Autumn Period.

This is the limit of his current practice.

He repeatedly looked at these legendary military strategists dating back hundreds of years, and entered into their thinking and perspective to understand the true meaning of military strategists and their concepts of military use, thereby promoting his own practice.

Guiguzi said before that Sun Wu relied on watching the fire from the other side to gain insight into the true meaning of each war in history, thereby understanding the realm of military strategists and becoming a saint.

Huo Qubing watched the fire from the other side, going through the same experience and gaining insight into the true meaning of war.

When he stopped pushing to watch the fire from across the bank, he started practicing instead.

In an instant, the energy of the heavens and the earth changed. A majestic military formation appeared vaguely on the top of the night sky, intertwined with the stars.

Tomorrow time.

Huo Qubing stopped practicing, but suddenly he felt something and took out the concentric lotus leaves.
