Six days later.
The burly man.
Chang 'an!
In Weiyang Palace.
"Is there still no news from the hussars general?”
Liu Che was wearing an imperial dragon robe, and his face was filled with dignity. He looked at the officials and said.
Below.
Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao, Li Guang, and the other ministers were all silent.
Wei Qing stood up, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice," Your Majesty, we haven't received any news from the General of the Flying Cavalry!”
When Liu Che heard this, his face turned even darker.
"This Huo Qubing, I asked him to bring ten thousand cavalry to the Hexi Corridor to take a look. This kid is actually so bold. He even dares to chase me to the north of Yanzhi Mountain for a thousand miles.!”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was instantly enraged!
There had been no news for more than ten days, almost half a month. According to the rules of the Great Han Dynasty, they had to send a message every six days at the latest to let Chang 'an know where the army was!
But now, it had been ten days!
It had been almost half a month since Huo Qubing sent Chang 'an's military intelligence. This made Liu Che a little restless!
Zhang Qian added mercilessly," Your Majesty, most of the Xiongnu army in the Hexi Corridor is gathered in the area north of Yanzhi Mountain. Even the two kings Xiutu and Hunxie are stationed there. General Huo Qubing might have been pestered by the two kings!”
"I also heard that there is a King Zhelan there who likes to read the Great Han's military strategy. If the general of the hussars is really surrounded and intercepted by the Xiongnu, it will be difficult to escape from this thousand-mile-long Hexi Corridor!”
All the generals fell silent. All the generals who fought against the Xiongnu knew that the Xiongnu's greatest tactic against the Han army was to surround, chase, and intercept!
It was impossible for him to fight to the death. Instead, he was good at using his riding and archery methods to continuously consume energy before attacking!
If a lone army that had gone thousands of miles deep was entangled by the Xiongnu, the price could be imagined!
Gongsun Ao was more worried about one thing." Your Majesty, I still believe in General Huo Qubing's strength. If we launch a surprise attack, General Huo Qubing should be fine, but I'm afraid that General Huo Qubing has taken a fancy to the Xiutu brothers! If he took the initiative to attack, it would be difficult.”
Liu Che's eyes narrowed, but he instantly shook his head." This brat wouldn't go so far. He shouldn't be so bold to go a thousand miles deep into the Xiongnu's main force in the Hexi Corridor alone!”
What he was most worried about was that Huo Qubing would be caught by the Xiongnu army. In this vast Qilian Mountain Range, it was not easy for this army to suddenly attack back.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is willing to lead the army to the Hexi Corridor to receive the General of the Flying Cavalry. At the very least, I will receive the latest news about General Huo Qubing as soon as possible!”
Li Guang couldn't sit still anymore!
Li Ganke was still under Huo Qubing, which made Li Guang, the father, panic.
Liu Che glanced at Li Guang and directly rejected him mercilessly." By the time General Fei arrives at the Hexi Corridor, I'm afraid that it will be too late. Moreover, the path that General Fei is taking is not yours at all.”
If he sent Li Guang to pick him up, he was afraid that Li Guang would get lost again before he reached the place.
After all, Huo Qubing's route had to be perfect. If they went a little further north, they would take a big detour. If they went a little further south, the army would enter the territory of the Qiang people. The Qiang people did not care if they were here to find someone or what they were here for. There was a high chance that they would fight.
If they didn't find him, they might start fighting with the Qiang people again.
Li Guang's face was filled with embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, how can I have such a bad sense of direction…"
But even he himself didn't have the confidence to say this!
After thinking for a moment, Liu Che made a decision.
"Wei Qing, if there is still no news of the General of the Flying Cavalry by today, then you should hurry to Longxi. I will give you eight thousand men for only one purpose, and that is to find out the General of the Flying Cavalry's location!”
Wei Qing cupped his hands." Yes, Wei Qing!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rubbed his forehead. His head hurt.
"This kid is too bold. After he returns, zhen must punish him properly!”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not help but say with a furious expression!
He felt a little regretful. After all, this was only a nineteen-year-old youth, and it was his first time leading ten thousand troops. Moreover, he was going to the Hexi Corridor, where the conditions were difficult and the terrain was complicated…
He was still too anxious!
At the same time, some of the civil officials looked at each other.
Han Anguo stepped forward and said," Your Majesty, the General of the Flying Cavalry did not obey orders. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, if he returns to Chang 'an, he must be punished. Otherwise, where will the military prestige be?”
"I agree with Lord Han! His Majesty's action of going to the west of the river is somewhat inappropriate. The environment in the west of the river is complicated, and the various countries are colluding. Going to the west is not a wise choice!”
"Moreover, the general of the hussars is too young. He's only nineteen years old. Even if he's a genius, it's difficult for him to take on such a great responsibility!”
Another official walked up and said,
One by one, the civil officials stood up and said.
Liu Che looked at these people coldly.
It had been nineteen years. These people had disappeared during the great victory, but once they were defeated or met with an unexpected situation, these people would jump out!
His eyes were cold. These people said that they were punishing Huo Qubing, but in reality, they were targeting him, the emperor!
These were the words in their hearts.
A nineteen-year-old youth, you expect him to test the waters of the Hexi Corridor? What are you thinking?!
And he directly attacked Huo Qubing's age!
But at this moment!
Outside Weiyang Palace!
Attack!
A soldier rode into Chang 'an on a blood-stained white horse, holding a memorial high!
"Report!"
" Emergency military situation at the frontline!!!"
"Report to His Majesty!"
The soldiers quickly arrived at the entrance of Weiyang Palace. Liu Che also received the news and immediately said," Let him in!”
The soldiers quickly entered Weiyang Palace!
Liu Che asked directly," Where is the General of the Flying Cavalry?”
The soldier said loudly," The general of the hussars has been heading north from Yanzhi Mountain in an attempt to capture the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu. In six days, he has traveled thousands of miles and destroyed five Xiongnu vassal states. Those who surrendered were not killed, but those who fought were wiped out. He almost captured the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu.
After that, the general of the hussars launched an attack on Xiutu Royal City and destroyed it. He then clashed with the main forces of King Hunxie and King Xiutu. He killed 8,060 enemies and captured Xiutu Prince Jin Rijin, the Xiongnu commandant, and five others. He also seized the Xiongnu's sacred object, the Heaven Worshiping Gold Statue!
After that, the army returned to the capital and was intercepted by Marquis Lu and King Zhelan. They killed the two kings on the spot and the army returned to Chang 'an on the same day!”
When the soldier's voice resounded in the hall.
For a moment, Weiyang Palace was silent.
Dead silence!
A pin drop could be heard!
Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, Wei Qing, and the others all looked at the reporting soldier in shock. Their eyes were filled with horror. At this moment, they even doubted their ears!
What the hell?
They had fought for thousands of miles, destroyed five countries along the way, repelled the main forces of Xiutu and Hunxie, killed King Zhelan and Marquis Lu on the spot, and even seized the sacred sacred object of the Xiongnu, the Heaven Sacrificial Gold Statue!
This was definitely the Xiongnu they were familiar with.
When did the Xiongnu become so easy to defeat?？？
Liu Che was also stunned!
Endless waves of shock rose in his heart!
Huo Qubing went deep into the enemy's rear and started to run amok in the Hexi Corridor?？？
This was equivalent to these 10,000 people breaking through the Hexi Corridor!
Han Anguo and the other ministers broke out in cold sweat.
Damn it, it was over!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly asked," How many people died in battle?”
These words rekindled Han Anguo and the others 'hope. Killing more than eight thousand people, if seven or eight thousand Great Han soldiers died, it wouldn't be a big contribution.
They might not need to go to the border to herd horses.
"A total of 2,352 people died in this battle. General Huo Qubing claimed that he was completely defeated. However, due to the fierce battle, the transmission of military intelligence was hindered. The hussar general said that he would personally apologize to His Majesty after returning to Chang 'an!”
Buzz!
Liu Che's brain was like a thunderbolt, shocking him!
Only 2,000 people died in battle!!!
Han Anguo and the others instantly closed their eyes.
They had waited for almost ten days and endured for almost ten days, but in the end, they could not hold it in anymore…
This also meant that they had to bear the corresponding price for this!
"Hahaha, what a good Huo Qubing, what a good hussars general, what a good full armor to be humiliated!!!”
"He even captured the Xiongnu's Heaven Sacrificial Metal Statue!”
As for the last sentence, Liu Che waved his hand to sweep away the accumulated gloominess from before and said magnanimously," When a general is outside, it's understandable that he doesn't obey military orders due to special reasons!”
"Am I that kind of petty emperor?”
"Send the news of the victory of the General of Flying Cavalry to every corner of Chang 'an within an hour. I want everyone to know that the Great Han Dynasty has won another great victory!”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said with a domineering expression.
Wei Qing was speechless.
Li Guang was speechless.
Gongsun Ao and Zhang Qian were speechless.
They looked at the overjoyed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and really wanted to complain to his face. That was not what he said just now.
