An hour ago.
Chang 'an, Great Han.
In Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, General Huo Qubing requests an audience!”
Following a loud voice.
Huo Qubing stepped into the hall with Sister Zhou beside him!
The moment Huo Qubing and Sister Zhou stepped into the hall, they saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty standing in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back. The aura of an emperor was surging around him, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Sister Zhou tactfully stood in the corner to lower her presence.
As Huo Qubing's personal historian, it was already not easy for her to enter this place to record the conversation between the two of them!
The people in the livestream room did not expect to witness a conversation of this level. Their breathing quickened and they were extremely nervous.
As for Xu Zhenguo and the other Han Dynasty historical experts, they were even more excited!
There was no record of such a private conversation in the history books, but they had witnessed it with their own eyes!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slowly turned around and completely ignored Sister Zhou. Instead, he quietly looked at Huo Qubing. At this moment, Huo Qubing's entire body was filled with an endless sharp aura, and he looked down on everyone!
The arrogance and confidence of a nineteen-year-old was vividly displayed!
The emotions in Emperor Wu's eyes were extremely complicated. There was surprise, admiration, and disbelief!
In the end, all the emotions turned into a complicated sigh." I never dreamed that a nineteen-year-old like you would be so brave!”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Qubing and said slowly.
The 10,000 cavalrymen he gave Huo Qubing wasn't a lot, and he had never thought of letting Huo Qubing break through the Hexi Corridor. This was a show of intimidation and experience!
The countries of the Western Regions were intimidated, and Huo Qubing was trained!
Zhang Qian had returned from the Western Regions. What he had seen and heard had allowed him to see a bigger world, but also a more dangerous world!
The various countries in the Western Regions had submitted to the Xiongnu and were constantly providing supplies. However, the Great Han was beyond their reach and had no choice. Moreover, the Qiang and Xiongnu were ambiguous with each other, and the hidden danger factors soared!
The reason he sent out his troops this time was to intimidate the various countries and Qiang people in the Western Regions. The Great Han army could reach the Hexi Corridor!
The experience was exclusive to Huo Qubing, the youth he had high hopes for and regarded as the future of the Great Han Dynasty!
Two years ago, when Huo Qubing went to war for the first time, he valued Huo Qubing very much. It could even be said that he favored him. The 800 people who accompanied him from Chang 'an were almost all elites selected from the elites of the Great Han Dynasty!
He gave these 800 people to Huo Qubing!
This was his first experience, and Huo Qubing had completed it perfectly.
However, just these eight hundred people were not enough. They were too few. He needed to test Huo Qubing's ability to lead a large army into battle!
Thus, ten thousand people set off from Longxi and headed straight for the Hexi Corridor!
The result was too unexpected!
Huo Qubing came in front of Liu Che. There was no one around, so he could be a little more presumptuous. After all, this domineering Great Emperor had hugged him before, but he was only his uncle.
He smiled and said," After all, I know Your Majesty's great ambitions. If I don't break through the Xiongnu, how can I not be brave?!”
This kind of casual conversation made everyone in the live broadcast room tremble. Huo Qubing was more sincere and direct than they had imagined.
Looking at Huo Qubing like this, Liu Che burst out laughing.
This was the reason why he liked Huo Qubing. It wasn't just because he was Wei Zifu's nephew, but also because he…was like him back then!
The one who had ascended the throne at the age of sixteen under the influence of various forces!
At that time,
Empress Dowager Dou is in power!
There was an undercurrent surging in the Imperial Court!
The Xiongnu Empire, which had humiliated the Great Han Empire for decades, hovered around the Great Han Empire. The Xiongnu Empire was the strongest in East Asia back then, and this was not a lie!
It was not only the Great Han who had suffered humiliation for decades. The countries of the Western Regions were the same. The head of the Da Yue King had been made into a wine cup, but the entire Da Yue Clan did not even dare to fart. They even replenished the blood of the Xiongnu!
The root of it was that the Xiongnu were too strong and could not be matched. The 400,000 bowstring operators under them came and went like the wind!
If the burly man wanted to pursue them, he could only step into the Immensity Sea and search for them in the vast grasslands or the desert covered by endless sandstorms!
Countless people lost their way and were surrounded!
Everyone felt that the Xiongnu were very strong and invincible!
But he, Liu Che, dared!
He was not convinced!
Hence, there was that famous saying that went through the ages!
At that time, he was only sixteen years old!
He was also as arrogant as Huo Qubing.
He could see his own shadow in Huo Qubing, and he was even more arrogant and sharp than him!
More importantly, he could create miracles!
He looked at Huo Qubing in front of him.
Liu Che could no longer suppress the hot blood in his heart!
At this moment, the 33 years he spent on the throne surged into his mind. He couldn't help but open his mouth in excitement!
"Seventy-nine years ago, the Great Han Dynasty suffered an unprecedented humiliation. During the siege of Bai Deng for seven days and seven nights, my Great Han Emperor was almost captured alive!”
As he said this, Liu Che clenched his fists!
Everyone in the live broadcast room said immediately.
"This is the fate of the Great Han Dynasty!"
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and General Huo Qubing are discussing the fate of the country. What does he want to do?!”
Countless people became nervous when they heard Liu Che's low voice!
Liu Che's eyes were ice-cold, as if he had traveled through time and space and arrived at Mount Bai!
He saw the Han army surrounded by 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers, and he saw Liu Bang, whose lips were trembling from the cold and who was almost captured alive!
he said coldly.
"That Mao Dun Chanyu even dared to write a letter to tease my Great Han Empress, asking her to sleep with him. How humiliating!”
"In the following decades, our Great Han Dynasty faced the invasion of the Xiongnu while offering the princess a marriage alliance, just to pray for peace!”
"Decades have passed, and I have succeeded the throne. However, in those countless sleepless nights, every time I think of this scene, my heart is like an ant biting, making me toss and turn.”
"Fight to the death with the Xiongnu!"
"How can I, a great man, allow the Xiongnu to humiliate me?!”
"Using the fate of the Great Han to fight against the fate of the Xiongnu!”
Sister Zhou was stunned when she saw the current Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, a strange feeling rose in her heart. It was as if this was the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the emperor who stood side by side with Qin Shihuang in the history of China!
Everyone in the live broadcast room was also shocked.
They felt their scalps go numb when they saw Emperor Wu like this, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies!
This was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
This was the domineering Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in everyone's hearts!
Since you Xiongnu dared to humiliate my Great Han, I will take revenge. Even if I have to gamble the fate of the country, I will not hesitate!
Without the dignity of the country, how can it be called a country?!
The smile on Huo Qubing's face disappeared and turned serious. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
He continued, his voice echoing throughout the entire hall!
"From the moment I ascended the throne, I have been waiting for someone!”
"I have waited for Gongsun Ao, Dongfang Shuo, and even the unparalleled commander Wei Qing, who has taken back the royal flag with the word 'Wei' to the north of Yin Mountain and made the Xiongnu tremble in fear!”
"But zhen feels that it is still not enough. Wei Qing alone is not enough to complete zhen's grand ambitions. zhen is still waiting, waiting for the person in zhen's heart!”
His voice suddenly rose a notch!
" You appeared. At seventeen, you traveled eight hundred miles and broke through the Xiongnu royal court, capturing the Xiongnu Chanyu's grandfather. At nineteen, in the battle of the west of the river, ten thousand people pierced through the Hexi Corridor for me, defeated King Xiu Tu and King Hunxie, killed King Lu Hou and King Zhelan, and even seized the Xiongnu's golden statue for me!”
Liu Che's eyes were filled with amazement, and the domineering aura around him became even stronger.
He said word by word.
"Zhen feels that you, Huo Qubing, are the person in Zhen's heart!”
Huo Qubing looked straight at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his eyes full of disdain and sharpness. He wasn't suppressed by Liu Che's aura, instead, his body became even more upright!
He didn't speak, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to be about to reveal all the thoughts that had accumulated in his heart for seventeen years from the age of sixteen to the age of thirty-three!
He waved his black and red imperial dragon robe, and the imperial aura around him surged. He strode towards the dragon table, picked up a memorial, and then turned around to throw it heavily on the ground.
He stared at Huo Qubing's disdainful face!
" This is the memorial written by those lords and ministers to me after my plan in Mayi failed. I still keep it to this day. They compared me to a tyrant and the craziest gambler in Chang 'an!”
"You're right. I am indeed a gambler, but I am not very brave, or even very timid. This is because I know that if I lose the bet, the price will be the lives of tens of thousands of Great Han citizens!”
"The scheme of Mayi is an open scheme. We won't lose anything. I bet 300,000 troops in one go. It's a draw, neither profit nor loss.”
"After that, I bet another forty thousand that the Great Han army would split into four groups. It would be a small profit and Wei Qinglong City would win a great victory.”
"In the Battle of the Southern Desert, I saw you, the Heaven's Son of the Great Han Dynasty, a person who can only make me bet heavily!”
"In the Battle of the West of the River, I began to raise the stakes. I gave you ten thousand of my Han Dynasty's most elite Han cavalry in order to train you. You overturned the entire West of the River Corridor and defeated the Xiongnu army. You even snatched back their sacred object, the Heaven Sacrificial Metal Statue.”
"Therefore, I have become bolder. This time, you have defeated the Xiongnu in the west of the river and struck the dignity of our Great Han. The Xiongnu have always been arrogant and will not swallow this anger. They will definitely send troops to attack the important town of our Great Han.”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a deep breath and looked straight at Huo Qubing.
"I want to bet all of my Han Dynasty's capital on you. I want you to take the land west of the river and fight a beautiful victory to cut off the Xiongnu's left and right arms and completely open up the Hexi Corridor!”
"Huo Qubing, tell me, can you do it?!”
"If it is possible, I will mobilize all the resources in the country and divide them into four armies to prepare for this battle. Huo Qubing, tell me loudly, can you do it?!”
After saying that, Liu Che's dignified eyes stared at Huo Qubing without blinking. He was waiting for Huo Qubing's answer!
