Chapter 10 The Clouds Before the War
Stirrups officially entered the stage of history through Huo Qubing. With Huo Qubing's instructions, tens of thousands of iron stirrups were sent to the army in just over ten days. When these cavalrymen of war personally felt the effects of stirrups, they praised this small thing and also looked at Huo Guang, a young man over ten years old.
"Second Master, the marquis invites you to the big tent." Huo Guang was sitting in his military tent, looking at a sheepskin map attentively. At this time, a soldier wearing black iron armor suddenly shouted outside the tent.
"I know, I'll go there now." Although Huo Guang did not see the situation outside the tent, he was very familiar with the people coming. It has been seven days since Huo Qubing's army left Pingyang, and Huo Guang has also known many situations in the past few days. For example, the outsiders in the tent were one of the more than ten black-armored cavalry that Huo Guang had first seen. These people were indeed Huo Qubing's personal guards. Even if they rushed these people on the battlefield, they never left Huo Qubing half a step away.
There are only twelve black armored cavalry like this, which was a loyal soldier who had been carefully selected and trained several years ago. Not only did the twelve people fight against Huo Qubing on the battlefield, but they would not frown even if Huo Qubing gave the order to kill these people. These twelve people were collectively called the Black Iron Twelve Guards, which is also a unique symbol of Huo Qubing.
Eight days ago, when Huo Guang offered stirrups, Huo Qubing awarded Huo Guang a position in front of the army. In fact, the so-called engaging is an aide to senior officials, such as the chief clerk, Gongcao, etc., who are an aides with official positions. However, Huo Guang only engages in but does not have a specific official position. Of course, this is a good start. At least he has a legal identity in the army.
As for the Black Iron Twelve Guards’ name Huo Guang as Second Master, Huo Guang also saw some tricks from this. If the regular name in the army should be Huo, but the Twelve Guards called him Second Master. This title is obviously the name in the family. From this, we can also see that the only one who is truly loyal to the Twelve Guards is Huo Qubing, who belongs to Huo Qubing’s personal. It can even be said that in the eyes of their Twelve Guards, there is only Huo Qubing, but not the Han court!
Huo Qubing's big tent is very close to Huo Guang. There were twelve guards leading the way along the way, but there was no investigation. During this short process, Huo Guang also intentionally or unintentionally asked his brother why he was looking for him at this time.
"Eleven, do you know what your brother is asking me for?" The Twelve Guards did not have their own name, but the code name was from one to twelve.
"The subordinates don't know, but the envoy of His Majesty came a moment ago." The Twelve Guards are of the nature of a retainer, and they are half of their masters for Huo Guang. There was nothing to hide when the Eleventh arrived, but he only said part of his knowledge, and he never said anything speculative.
"The envoy of Emperor Wu of Han? It's hard to send the order at this time? But it's almost the time." Huo Guang originally guessed that there should be people sent by Emperor Wu of Han to send the order in the past few days. Because according to the original plan of the Han army, Huo Qubing led his army out of Dingxiang and directly attacked Yizhixie Shanyu. However, Huo Guang knew that in history, the troops who met Yizhixie Shanyu were Wei Qing's troops, and Huo Qubing did not leave Dingxiang, but went out of Dai County, and then met with the prefect of Youbeiping Lu Bode outside the frontier, and then went north to cross the desert to encounter Zuo Xianwang's headquarters.
The battle of Mobei was divided into two groups, but the original plan of Emperor Wu of Han was not like this. Then Emperor Wu of Han would definitely make a new arrangement before Huo Qubing left Dingxiang. After the past few days, Huo Qubing's army had arrived in Mayi, walked northward, and passed Yanmen to Dingxiang, and turned to the right to Dai County. Huo Guang estimated that Emperor Wu of Han's order should have come at this time.
Unlike the strong guarding outside the camp, Huo Qubing's tent was not as good as the guards around Huo Qubing's tent. After 11th, Huo Guang walked in directly. At this moment, there were not many people in the tent, but Huo Guang swept the five or six people in the tent, but all of them were key figures in the Han army this time. Almost everyone here left a brilliant mark in history books. Although these people were not as famous as the generals of Wei Qing's troops, after the Battle of Mobei, everyone who had not yet been granted a marquis was awarded a marquis, which was a world of difference compared to the fact that no one in Wei Qing's troops was granted a marquis.
"Meet the Champion Hou and the Generals." Huo Guang respectfully bowed to these people when he was booking the account. Through the contacts of these days, Huo Guang also had a relatively simple understanding of these people, at least he knew his name and military position. However, at this moment, except for Huo Qubing, everyone else directly called General and said it.
"Yes." Huo Qubing nodded slightly, while the other people almost didn't look at Huo Guang, as if they had never seen Huo Guang at all. Only one of these people had a smile on his face and nodded slightly to Huo Guang.
The man who nodded to Huo Guang was named Zhao Ponu. Now his position in the army is General Eagle Fighting. Speaking of which, this person was originally a marquis, but some time ago he was stripped of the marquis because he violated the "阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿阿�
Zhao Ponu's original title was "Congpie Hou". Huo Qubing's military position was also the General of Cavalry, and the title of Zhao Ponu can illustrate his past and political stance. Zhao Ponu is now in his thirties, not the oldest among all the people in the tent, but he is not young anymore. This person is considered a strong man under Huo Qubing and a well-deserved pioneer general. Moreover, Huo Guang also estimated that Huo Qubing's reuse of Zhao Ponu again this time must be to let him regain the marquis as soon as possible.
Among the few people present, except for the Marquis of Piao, Zhao Ponu, the Marquis of Yiguan, Gao Buzhi and Changwu, Zhao Anji, had the highest status, because these two were the only ones except Huo Qubing.
Gao Bushi is also considered a confidant general of Huo Qubing. He has been under Huo Qubing's command in recent years. Even he was named Marquis of Yiguan because he followed Huo Qubing in the Battle of Hexi. However, this person has a bit irritable and a bit arrogant. He doesn't buy anyone's debt except Huo Qubing.
The Changwu Marquis Zhao Anji was not a Han Dynasty person. He was originally a little king of the Huns. Later, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty and was named Changwu Marquis. In addition to the wise kings on both sides, there were no other kings of the Huns, and the titles of the Huns were about the same as those of the Han Dynasty. This time, Zhao Anji was under Huo Qubing's command, and one of the important roles was the guide.
The remaining three are Weishan, the northern Duwei, and two other Huns surrendered generals, Lu Zhi and Yi Zhixuan. These two were originally the little kings of the Huns, but the little kings were divided into different levels. They were originally worse than Zhao Anji, so they have not been granted marquis yet.
These are the ones who can enter the tent of the coach. At this time, Huo Qubing was able to call Huo Guang, and it can be seen that he is indeed determined to cultivate this younger brother.
"I'm asking you to come here to convey your Majesty's latest will." Huo Qubing said when he saw that everyone who was coming came. When the others heard that it was the emperor's will, they stood there with a solemn expression. Fortunately, there were not as many etiquettes between the monarch and ministers in this era. At this time, the ministers in court could still have seats, and they didn't have to kneel down at any time when they saw the emperor. Therefore, there was no scene of the emperor kneeling down at a loud bang at this moment.
"The general learned from the captured Hun cavalry that Yizhixie's main force had moved eastward, so His Majesty ordered our army to change out of Dai County and find Yizhixie's main force to fight to the decisive battle. Therefore, our marching route needs to be changed, and we will immediately change to Dai County and go out of the Great Wall from Bai Deng. Next, you will go back to the camp to pass the orders." Huo Qubing briefly said, and as Huo Guang thought, at this time, Huo Qubing's army changed its plan and left Dai County and went north.
However, Huo Guang remembered that the Hun army that Huo Qubing encountered in Mobei was still the Zuoxian King of the Huns, not Yizhixie Shanyu. According to the initial arrangement of Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Qubing's legion was the real elite, and their target was Yizhixie Shanyu. In the end, what Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's legion encountered were exactly the opposite of what was expected, which directly led to the Wei Qing army's legion's victory and made Yizhixie Shanyu escape in the chaos. In the end, none of the entire legion made contributions and caused Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi to commit suicide and the other to become commoners.
"Maybe this so-called captive was intentionally arranged by Yi Zhixie, but this is just my guess. Now I think it's better not to say it." Huo Guang felt that the so-called military situation was probably a trick used by the Huns, and the purpose was to make Huo Qubing's army lose. On the other hand, Yi Zhixie Shanyu was so serious that he was caught off guard by Wei Qing. However, Huo Guang also knew that no one would pay attention to the fact that he told the most likely truth now.
"What? A Guang, what do you think?" The generals took the order and left, but Huo Qubing discovered Huo Guang's expression strange. Because Huo Guang had already brought him many surprises, and now there were no outsiders, Huo Qubing asked directly.
"This... brother, I don't know if I should say something?" Huo Guang didn't expect that his little thoughts were still hidden from Huo Qubing, but he couldn't say such an important thing rashly, so he said tentatively.
"There are only two of me here, so I have nothing to say, but it's okay to say it."
"I'm afraid this is the conspiracy of the Huns!" Huo Guang said in a novel. He also paid special attention to observing Huo Qubing's expression when he spoke.
"Continue to say." Huo Qubing's expression did not change significantly, but he just said three words lightly.
"Brother, after we changed the marching route, there were a group of deserts in front of us, which were large deserts and Gobi. Even the Huns rarely moved in that area. I suspect this was a plan intended to be set up by the Huns' Khan!" Huo Guang thought for a while, and he felt that he could only explain it from a geographical point of view.
"Hmm? What do you mean is that there are spies in our Han army?" Huo Qubing finally looked moved, and he didn't know why he thought that Huo Guang was referring to was actually spies in the Han army.
"This... brother, I don't mean that..." Huo Guang was panicked. He didn't expect that there was any trace of spy behind this change of the marching plan.
"If Yi Zhixie really didn't move eastward, then my uncle would be in trouble. Most of his subordinates were infantry. If Yi Zhixie was waiting for his work, even if his uncle could win, he would have to win miserably. If it was a conspiracy, it would definitely be Zhao Xin's job." Huo Qubing took his hands behind his back and paced in the tent. Although he didn't doubt this at first, after Huo Guang said this, he thought of a lot.
"Yes... it's Zhao Xin. Why did I forget him!" When Huo Guang heard the name of Zhao Xin, he immediately remembered many things he had forgotten. At this time, Huo Guang finally remembered that the plot of the Huns he guessed was really that true, and the planner was Zhao Xin.
