Chapter 114: A long journey of thousands of miles (2)

Chen Jiao was silent. She had known that with Liu Che's strength, of course, it would be impossible for her to bow to the princes with the advantage. The hardest bones had been gnawed off. The remaining princes were already chopped off for Liu Che. She shook her head and obediently grind the ink for Liu Che, watching him on the white paper and slowly wrote down the sentences to keep Gongsun Hong.

For a moment, the atmosphere in Shilu Pavilion was very peaceful.

Maoling City, the Champion Hou Mansion.

Wei Qing sat in the pavilion, watching Huo Qubing teach Huo Guang's sword technique quietly, feeling as if he saw himself and Huo Qubing ten years ago. After a while, Huo Guang, who was weak in strength, couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground and gasped. Huo Qubing stopped and said, "Let's just stop here today."

"Yes, brother." Although Huo Guang was already very tired, he still obeyed the etiquette and left after ceremonializing Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

"Xiao Guang is aware of etiquette and law, which is really different from when you were a child." Wei Qing looked at Huo Guang who fell and ran away, and smiled, "You were so cruel that he didn't even say a word. I remember that when you first started practicing martial arts, you always screamed when you hit him, which made everyone know about it. At that time, I sighed that you were not a martial arts master."

Listening to Wei Qing recalling these past events, Huo Qubing's mouth also crawled with a smile and said, "That's because someone is spoiled and spoiled, so he naturally can't endure hardships. Xiaoguang is different from me. This child will be more promising than me in the future."

"I heard that you went to see Your Majesty yesterday and made a combat plan for him." Wei Qing coughed lightly, mentioned his main purpose today, and said, "About going out of the border in the spring of the next year?"

"Yes." Huo Qubing did not hide anything. He took out a pen and drew a simple map of the Hexi Corridor on the stone table. He explained the two attack plans for the spring and summer seasons.

As soon as Wei Qing finished hearing this, the teacup in his hand fell down and broke into pieces. He immediately stood up and opposed: "If this doesn't work, you will die!"

"No." Huo Qubing shook his head and said, "I will definitely succeed!"

"But. This is too risky after all!"

"If it succeeds, it will be a huge contribution." Huo Qubing was very calm. He had already thought about the interests of this. He knew that Wei Qing would not refuse, "What's more, uncle, the Wei family needs this merit!"

Hearing his words, Wei Qing stopped, looked at the nephew, and suddenly couldn't speak.

"When my uncle went out of the frontier for the first time, his life and death were unknown, right? But you won back the first marquis of your place. I think. I can do it too." Huo Qubing seemed to not pay attention to life and death at all, and focused his attention on the map on the table.

At some point, Wei Qing had already sat down and sat next to Huo Qubing. He put one hand on his shoulder and said, "Qubing, you are willing to stand up again when the Wei family is in trouble. My uncle is very happy. My uncle thought he would really get further away from you from now on. Fortunately, I don't need it."

"Uncle, whether the surname is Zheng or Huo, we all have the blood of the Wei family on us, and we are destined to never abandon this family. You don't know. Neither can I." Huo Qubing said.

"Okay, okay!" Wei Qing kept patting Huo Qubing's shoulder, with unpredictable joy on his face. He knew better than anyone that as long as there was one person in the Wei family available, he would have a kindness to the Wei family. Now that Huo Qubing has Huo Qubing, the Wei family's status can be a little more stable.

After seeing Wei Qing away, Huo Qubing returned to the pavilion and reached out to touch the map. He raised his head and let the cool summer breeze blow away the sweat on his body. He looked motionlessly at the setting sun on the ground.

Hexi Corridor, Hexi Corridor. Is this the second time you and I have joined forces to defeat the enemy? Weizhi, I will do better than you think.

"Grand Princess, look, such a great contribution was sent to the Wei family. Are you crazy about the little marquis? No matter how good he has to do with Huo Qubing, he can't do this!" Dong Yan said angrily while rubbing Liu Piao's waist.

"Yan'er, although you trained the Jingnian Nanwei, I don't remember allowing you to order them to monitor Zhen'er." Liu Piao ignored Dong Yandi's complaints and said this gently.

"This..." Dong Yan's eyes rolled slightly and said, "Yan'er is also worried about the princess. Since the princess doesn't allow it, then forget it. But this little marquis is not surnamed Chen after all, so I'm afraid he can't be in the same heart as the princess."

Liu Piao smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Zhen'er has come to me to talk about them. He has established himself in the court and thinks more things after all. As long as you take care of yourself, you will be able to do it. Although everyone in Wulingyuan gives in to you, don't bully Wei's family too much. Last time you shouldn't have been skeptical about Gongsun Jingsheng's playboy."

"This, Yan'er taught him a little a lesson because he was rude to the Empress and the Fourth Prince." Dong Yan never thought that this eldest princess, who seemed to have squinting her eyes and nothing happened, had so many eyes and ears. Not many people knew about that time.

"Now our Chen family finally has a prince with bloodlines, so we must be more cautious in our words and actions. We must not catch people and harm the fourth prince. Do you know?" Liu Piao shook the crystal cup in his hand, took a sip of the wine, and said, "Since His Majesty the Emperor still wants the Wei family to stand on the stage, we can also hold it for him."

"Zhen'er did the right thing this time." Liu Piao said slowly, "Yan'er, just keep in mind the affairs of other places."

Dong Yan wanted to say something else, but his mouth moved, but he turned his words back.

"By the way, have you prepared all the things you asked you to do some time ago? I am going to go to the palace to meet the fourth prince today." Liu Piao said again.

"Yes, everything is ready. The Fourth Prince will definitely like it." Dong Yan's face turned, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he said.

(The second year of Yuanshou) in the spring, he appointed champion Hou Huo Qubing as the general of the cavalry, and led tens of thousands of cavalry out of Longxi, attacked the Huns, and arrived in Qilian. He passed through the five kingdoms, fought for six months, and passed more than a thousand miles of Yanzhi Mountain. He obtained 18,000 Hu captives, and defeated the Xiushu King to sacrifice to the heavenly Jin people. - "Records of the Grand Historian, Biography of the Cavalry of the General of the Guard, 51"

Huo Qubing looked at the bright moon in the sky. It has been three months since he left the border in spring. This group of 10,000 cavalry has only left more than 8,000 people. Although several small countries have been conquered along the way and have fought against the Huns on a small scale, they are still far from his goal.

"General, how many more people are sick." Two soldiers ran over and reported to Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was too lazy to ask who those two people were, and just asked: "Can you still ride a horse?"

"Come on the ride!"

"Can't ride!"

Two completely different voices sounded, and Huo Qubing glanced at the man who gave the negative answer, Zhao Ponu who was forced into his army before leaving. Although he was still calm on his face, he was already interested in Zhao Ponu. This man, who seemed a few years older than him, accepted his orders calmly from beginning to end and executed them seriously, as if everything was natural and natural, even if this order was to abandon his comrades who had just fought together.

"Zhao Ponu, follow the old rules, take away their horses, take some of the sheep captured this time, and let them wait in the small country where they surrendered to us. As long as we can go back alive, they will be indispensable for military merit." Huo Qubing said indifferently.

Zhao Ponu nodded and turned to do things. He had lived in the Xiongnu tribe very well understood that in this grassland desert that could die, excess pity was useless. It could only cause everyone to bury the one or two people. It was certainly a risk to let the injured go to those small countries that were rebellious, but it was also a way out. And he was very glad that the general he followed for the first time understood this very well. It was really strange, why did this general who was said to have grown up in the Central Plains understand the grassland so well?

Huo Qubing glanced at the soldier who had just given the affirmative answer and said, "Tang Kun, if there is another next time, I will kill you with one knife. I don't even understand the orders and bans, so why should I be a soldier?"

The soldier named Tang Kun was shocked and sweated. Although the general was delicious and delicious, he would be abandoned immediately if he was seriously injured and difficult to cure. In this vast grassland, he would have to return to the border alive. The hope was too slim.

Huo Qubing supervised his cavalry with expressionless expression to eliminate the cattle and sheep that the Hun tribes regarded as life. After traveling through this place for three months, he had discovered that it was better to kill these beasts than to kill people. One reason was that he was not interested in slaughtering women and infants with his sword, and the other was that he also knew in his heart that these people would not live long without food. When the top men and cattle and sheep in the tribe all died, the tribe was actually dead.

After completing all the tasks, Zhao Ponu Shen walked to Huo Qubing with gaze and asked: "General, do you want to set a fire later? All the grass here will burn, and the losses of the Huns will be even heavier."

Huo Qubing glanced at him and said, "It's the southeast wind blowing now."

Zhao Ponu was suddenly said by him. Before he could figure it out for a while, he scratched his head and said, "What does it mean?"

Huo Qubing ignored him and announced to everyone: "Stay a break, everyone is not allowed to dismount. We will set out northwest to find the next Hun tribe."
