In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu sent General Wei Qing and Hussar General Huo Qubing to lead [-] cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry into Mobei in two routes, trying to completely annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu.

After Huo Qubing led the school lieutenant Li Gan to go deep into Mobei, he beheaded more than [-] Xiongnu soldiers and eliminated the left and right sage kings of the Xiongnu.

After Wei Qing led the former general Li Guang and others out of the fortress, he ordered Li Guang to lead the right general Zhao Shiqi to detour to respond from the east road, and he and the middle general Gongsun Ao led the army across the desert, commanding the cavalry to outflank the Xiongnu Shanyu Yizhixie from both wings.Yi Zhixie knew she was invincible, so she led hundreds of elite cavalry to break through and escape.Wei Qing chased after him, although he wiped out [-] enemies, he failed to capture Yi Zhixie alive.

During this time, Li Guang failed to reconcile with Wei Qing because he was lost in the desert.

Li Guang lamented that God did not pity me, he was ashamed to be tried, and he couldn't bear the insult of a small official with a knife and a pen, so he drew a knife and killed himself.

After the war, Li Gan was greatly mourned when he learned of his father's death.

Because of his military exploits, Emperor Wu granted Li Gan the Marquis of Guannei, with two hundred households in Shiyi.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Yuanshou, Li Gan ran into Zhao Shiqi, who was redeemed as a common man, and learned the reason why Li Guang was lost in the desert, so he decided that Wei Qing deliberately suppressed Li Guang in order to promote his good friend Gongsun Ao, and finally caused Li Guangmeng to commit suicide in shame. .

In a rage, Li Gan rushed to Wei Qing's mansion and injured Wei Qing.

Wei Qing didn't want to make this matter a big deal, so he suppressed it.

When Huo Qubing visited Wei Qing in the Wei Mansion, he unexpectedly learned from his servants that the person who injured Wei Qing was Li Gan, so he went to the Li Mansion to ask for responsibility.

In the hall, the two sat facing each other, but their faces were full of coldness, and the chatting and laughing in the past was completely gone.

Huo Qubing said in a deep voice: "Why did you do this? Assassinating a general is a capital offense for killing a family."

Li Gan sneered, and said: "Anyway, I am the only one left in my Li clan, so I am afraid of exterminating the clan."

Huo Qubing said: "Where's Li Ling? Where's Li Yu? Are you ignoring their lives?"

Li Gan was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "Didn't you come to Xingshi today to inquire about the crime? Don't pretend to be merciful here."

Huo Qubing's voice also cooled down, and said: "I was brought up by my uncle since I was a child, and I have long regarded him as my biological father. I don't allow anyone to do things that hurt him, not even my best brother. This Once, because you were dazzled by the pain of losing your father, let me forgive you. If there is another time, I will never forgive you."

After saying that, Huo Qubing got up and wanted to leave.

Li Gan laughed loudly behind him, and said: "If there is another time, what can you do to me? Do you want to kill me?"

Huo Qubing stopped without turning his head, and said, "You think I dare not?"

Li Gan said: "How mighty you Hussar General are, even if you kill me, His Majesty will not do anything to you, so why don't you dare?"

Huo Qubing said: "It's good that you know."

Huo Qubing left angrily.

Li Ganku sat for a long time, then suddenly he laughed, showing a ferocious look on his face, and shouted: "Prepare the horse! I want to enter the palace!"

***

Ten days later, Emperor Wu summoned all his ministers to hunt in Ganquan Palace in autumn.

This was the first time that Li Gan and Huo Qubing met after the unhappy breakup.

Huo Qubing was angry that time, and his words were a bit harsh, and he regretted it after leaving Li's residence.

Seeing Li Gan riding his horse through the forest, Huo Qubing rode forward and rode side by side with him, and asked, "Can you gain something?"

Li Gan said: "Only one deer was shot."

"That's right." Huo Qubing paused, and said, "Don't worry about what happened last time."

Li Gan turned to look at him incredulously, and said, "Are you... are you apologizing to me?"

Huo Qubing remained silent, this was the best he could do.

Li Gan said with a sneer: "General Hussars even apologized with such a superior gesture, it's really admirable."

Huo Qubing was aroused by his attitude, and said: "Li Gan, don't be aggressive."

Li Gan accepted the smile, and said expressionlessly: "You don't have to apologize to me, but I ask for your forgiveness."

Huo Qubing thought he had eased up, so he said, "No need."

Li Gandao: "Listen to me first, if you can still say the word 'no need', I will be able to cancel all grievances."

Huo Qubing didn't know what his words meant, so he didn't make a sound.

Li Gandao: "After you left that day, Your Majesty called me into the palace to discuss matters. After the matter, Your Majesty mentioned to me the matter of Marquis Luoyin's serious illness. When Didao met an old friend by chance, he raised a few words with His Majesty."

When Huo Qubing heard this, his face changed drastically.

Li Gan turned a blind eye, and continued to casually say: "Who knows that His Majesty changed his expression after hearing this, and immediately ordered people to go to Didao to bring the old man back to the palace. If everything goes well, it is estimated that he will soon arrive in Chang'an. You I haven't seen that old man for a long time, maybe? Maybe we will see each other in two days. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, when the time comes, let's have a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine together, what do you think, General Hussars?"

Huo Qubing's eyes were about to split open, his fists were clenched tightly, his veins were bulging, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

Li Gan saw the description of him at this moment, and suddenly felt distorted joy in his heart. With a sneer, he left Huo Qubing and rode away.

Huo Qubing's eyes were scarlet, looking at Li Gan's back, he wanted to kill.

He stretched out his hand and pulled out an arrow from the quiver, then drew the bow and set the arrow, all in one go, and then shot towards Li Gan without the slightest hesitation.

There is no doubt about Huo Qubing's arrow skills.

A sharp arrow pierced through his chest, Li Gan was killed immediately and fell off his horse.

It happened that a soldier came here on a patrol and had a panoramic view of the future. He was so frightened that his face paled and he ran away.

Not long after, Emperor Wu came here on horseback.

Liu Che and Huo Qubing looked at each other for a moment, although they didn't exchange a word, they knew each other well.

Liu Che withdrew his gaze and said in a loud voice: "Li Gan, Marquis of Guannei, was picked to death by a wild deer during the autumn hunting. Pass on my will, and honorably burial the Marquis of Guannei!"

Everyone should be, Liu Che walked away in a huff.

Huo Qubing knelt on the spot, with no blood on his face, as if he had lost his soul.

The autumn wind shuttled through the forest, and the boundless fallen trees fell rustlingly, falling on him.

Huo Qubing suddenly remembered that winter, he and Han Zhen stood side by side under the loquat tree, the snow-white loquat flowers fell all over his head, Han Zhen took his hand and said: "We can hold hands until we grow old."

Huo Qubing knelt in the bleak autumn wind, and suddenly shed two lines of tears.
