Li Guang has always been defined as a tragic figure, leaving behind a helpless ending of "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to be granted". He and Feng Tang are the most famous unlucky person in Chinese history. Not only is Li Guang unlucky, he has not been granted a title of marquis for more than 70 battles in his life, but he ended up drawing his sword and committing suicide. Even his son Li Gan's end was miserable.

As for Li Gan's future outcome, Huo Guang is not sure now, because he, a time traveler, is the biggest variable. Now that Li Gan's life has an intersection with Huo Guang, it is hard to say whether Li Gan's fate will change in the end. However, Huo Guang estimated that Li Guang's ending should be no different from that in history. After all, even if Li Guang is under Wei Qing's command, even if he has changed some history, all the deployments of the Wei Qing Legion cannot change in a short period of time, so Li Guang will never escape the tragic ending.

Huo Guang's understanding of Li Guang only stays in the novel legend. For such a person who has no intersection and no interest, he cannot do anything for this irrelevant person. Li Guang is destined to be history, and what Huo Guang needs to care about is what he should do in the next battle in Mobei.

When it was dark, Huo Qubing's cavalry regiment finally arrived at what Zhao Anji mentioned. It was said that the river was actually a stream flowing on the grassland. Soon, a series of things were completed, and Huo Guang was assigned a small tent that could accommodate one or two people. As soon as he left the Great Wall, the march became much more difficult. It was already rare for Huo Guangneng to be assigned to a tent. You should know that ordinary cavalry soldiers could only squeeze into a tent for more than a dozen people.

The nights on the grassland are still relatively cold, and Huo Guang is not in the mood to walk around the camp, and he will not be bored to see the night sky of the grassland. There are naturally some people who arrange things like patrol camp, so he hid in the tent and fell asleep early. Huo Qubing deliberately did not disturb Huo Guang. After all, in Huo Qubing's eyes, his younger brother is only in his teens. The half-month running around is nothing to them for the people who have been through the battlefield for a long time, but it is still a great test for an ordinary boy. He also intends to let Huo Guang rest better.

In the first few days, the army advanced northward and was very calm, and even a single Hun was not encountered, but in fact, it was not even a single person. In these days, the Han army marched during the day and rested at night. In five days, the Han army marched more than 700 miles, and the army had arrived at the Outer Mongolia border in later generations.

And then we were entering the desert. At this time, the Han army finally stopped. This was not because the desert blocked the Han army's pace, but because Huo Qubing was waiting for someone, Lu Bode, the prefect of the Youbeiping of the Han army. This step was also the plan of the Han army. According to the original plan, Lu Bode's army should have carried out a sweep of the vast area north of Youbeiping two months ago. This time the two armies met to concentrate their advantages to attack the northern part of the desert.

Speaking of Lu Bode, he is also young and promising. Now he is only in his twenties and becomes the prefect of Youbeiping. You should know that the prefect of Youbeiping is not as leisurely as those in the heart of the Central Plains. Here, the Huns are fighting for many years, and Lu Bode has also trained a powerful cavalry.

The period of marching for several days and waiting for Lu Bode became a rare rest time before the Han army's war. However, when he was in the desert, he could not relax his vigilance, and soldiers without missions could only sit and chat in the camp. Huo Guang had nothing to do, so he walked in the camp by himself. So far, the Han army had not even seen the shadow of the Huns, and it had been more than twenty days. No wonder Huo Qubing had finally returned to Chang'an in the Battle of Mobei.

Lu Bode arrived as scheduled, but to Huo Guang's surprise, Lu Bode only brought about 4,000 cavalry, which was not as nearly 10,000 cavalry as Huo Guang thought. However, it was normal to think about it carefully. Lu Bode was just a prefect of a county, and he had 4,000 cavalry under his command, which exceeded most county soldiers. Huo Guang's thoughts were a bit out of this. His thinking sometimes remained at the time when the army was tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands described in the novel, and there were some real battles that reached such a scale in history.

At this point, Huo Qubing had a total of about 55,000 cavalry under his command. Don't underestimate that there were only more than 50,000 people. This was actually the limit of the elite cavalry that could be mobilized during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. In addition to being skilled in cavalry and shooting skills, the more important thing is to have to experience a lot of battles. The entire Han Dynasty had to have to have to have many battles and skilled bows and horses, and there were almost so many people.

When Lu Bode arrived, Huo Qubing specially held a simple welcome ceremony for him. Of course, marching outside was nothing more than the generals sitting together to eat meat, but Huo Qubing was also a person who strictly abides by military discipline, and there was no drop of wine at this welcome banquet.

The one who was able to attend this banquet was also the leader in Huo Qubing's legion. The worst of them were Li Gan's rank with a rank of two thousand stones. Of course, Huo Guang was considered an exception. The so-called 2 thousand stones is second to two thousand stones, while the prefect like Lu Bode's level is real two thousand stones. However, the prefect of Youbeiping is also considered an exception. Because of its importance, Lu Bode actually enjoys the treatment of two thousand stones. Here, "Zhong" means full, which means enjoying two thousand stones!

Lu Bode was only twenty-five or six years old at this time, and looked a few years older than Huo Qubing. However, the status difference between the two was too big, Lu Bode seemed respectful and respectful to the other people here. After all, most people in this occasion had a higher status than him.

"Premier Lu, have you been asking which strange man made the stirrup? It's the brother Huo Guang in front of you." At first, Lu Bode was still very cold to Huo Guang. In his opinion, Huo Guang must have been a child of a certain aristocratic family who came to the army to gilt. However, Zhao Ponu saw Lu Bode's thoughts and immediately introduced Huo Guang to him. Originally, Zhao Ponu's son was about the same age as Huo Guang, but because of Huo Qubing's relationship, Zhao Ponu said that Brother Huo Guang was not at all at all, and even had a high-spirited taste.

"Oh, it's you, you're so respectful!" Lu Bode also felt awe when he heard this. Lu Bode still admired people who have real skills.

"The name of Prefect Lu is Huo Guang has long been well known. My brother has often mentioned the prefect in the past few days." Huo Guang estimated that Lu Bode didn't know that he was Huo Qubing's younger brother. Huo Guang thought that Huo Qubing's relationship was not useless. As long as Huo Qubing's banner was pulled out, who would not give him any face?

"Although my brother is talented, he is still young after all, so you have to teach him more in the future." Huo Qubing spoke at the right time. His simple words undoubtedly told his subordinates that you will take care of me, brother, in the future, and this can be considered as formally announcing Huo Guang to the political group where Huo Qubing is located.

"We are obeying the orders of the Marquis." The generals actually stood up at this time and replied. All of these people had been in the officialdom for a long time. They knew that Huo Qubing's simple words were actually very formal, and they should have the attitude that they should have to be without.

"Well, then let's stop here tonight. The whole army will lead the camp to advance north tomorrow morning. I'm afraid we will meet the Huns in a few days. I hope that all of you here can be granted the title of marquis in this battle." Huo Qubing knew that the time was almost over, so he said the last sentence, which was a summary of today's matter.

After two days of meeting with Lu Bode, Huo Qubing's army arrived in the southern part of Mongolia, which was once the main activity area of ​​the Huns. However, due to long-term grazing, many Gobi Deserts have appeared here. Even the grasslands are mostly barren, far from the north.

At this time, the Han army finally encountered a small Xiongnu tribe. There was no battle in this tribe. When Zhao Ponu, the current frontier unit, arrived, the Xiongnu tribe did not even have the intention to resist. It was just because the tribe was too small, with only less than a thousand people, and only two or three hundred soldiers could fight.

When Huo Guang followed Huo Qubing to this Hun camp, Huo Guang was very curious about how Huo Qubing would deal with these Huns? In the Han Dynasty, the main basis for obtaining the enemy's heads was the main basis for military merit. The hundreds of Huo Qubing here could all be transformed into military merits with one order. This was also a real head of the Huns. Even those who recorded military merits in the army could not say much. These heads might not be of use to Huo Qubing, but this was the first battle, and these heads were enough to allow a captain to obtain a marquis of Guannei without a title.

The Huns camp was surrounded by tens of thousands of armies. Huo Qubing, surrounded by a group of generals and schoolmen, drove into the Huns camp. In an open space in the camp, nearly a thousand Huns were surrounded. Huo Guang found that these Huns were wearing just a few, and most of them were in shabby clothes. Looking at the layout and size of the camp, it was estimated that this small tribe was also in a desolate manner.

"Have you asked if there was any?" Huo Qubing asked after taking a look at the group of Huns.

"Report to the marquis, I've asked. King Zuo Xian had moved the royal court north half a month ago." Zhao Anji, the Marquis of Changwu, usually plays the role of negotiating with the Huns, and he is now answering Huo Qubing's questions.

"Tell them that this marquis is the marquis of the Han champion. Take all the horses here and continue to move north!" Huo Qubing looked north and said with a smile on his face.

Soon, the 50,000 army left the Huns camp in a mighty manner. Apart from taking away hundreds of horses that were not considered excellent, the Han army took nothing else, and none of the nearly 1,000 Huns were killed. Huo Guang was a little surprised. Why did he let these Huns go like this? But looking at the expressions of other generals and even soldiers, it seemed that they had known this result for a long time.

"Brother, why don't you kill the Huns? Even if your brother doesn't need it, it can still inspire morale!" Huo Guang finally couldn't help but ask for the doubts in his heart while riding a horse beside Huo Qubing.

"Look at this place, there are many Gobi and the grasslands are barren. The Hun tribe is still here, which shows that it is not easy for them to survive. These are just ordinary people in the Huns. If you can, just let them go if you don't kill them. Their horses are taken away to prevent them from informing other tribes. Our targets are the Huns, such as Yi Zhixie and Zuo Xianwang, who dared to invade the Han Dynasty, and the people are innocent after all." Huo Qubing saw Huo Guang's doubts and said earnestly.

These words suddenly subverted Huo Guang's understanding of Huo Qubing. Huo Guang found that he knew too little about Huo Qubing! Looking at the generals and schoolmen around Huo Qubing, Huo Guang suddenly found that seven of these people were surrendered generals. Huo Guang, who was still a little confused, suddenly became enlightened!
