Chapter 17 The Cao Shizhong
As soon as Huo Qubing said this, all the generals in the tent quickly congratulated Huo Guang. Zhao Ponu even joked: "This is just the beginning. When we destroy the Zuo Xian King, I think brothers A Guang can also be granted the title of marquis!"
"Guang is still young, and the battle with the Huns depends on all the generals. I am just acting according to my brother's orders. General Zhao should not make fun of me anymore!" Huo Guang said quickly, but he attributed the deployment of the three thousand cavalry with fewer victory and more to Huo Qubing's arrangement, and he himself was just acting according to his plan.
After Huo Guang explained this, the generals in the tent looked relieved. Originally, everyone was surprised and incredible when Huo Guang heard about Huo Guang's performance. If Huo Guang pushed the matter to Huo Qubing, these people felt that nothing was left. Is it obvious that the champion Hou would give his younger brother a contribution? Of course, even if everyone thought so, no one would say it.
Huo Qubing looked at Huo Guang with great meaning, but did not explain anything. He just nodded slightly and ordered some deployments. Then the generals left to handle military affairs.
After everyone left, only the brothers Huo Guang and Huo Qubing were left in the tent. Huo Guang knew that the reason why his brother did not ask him to leave was that he had to say something important to him at this time.
"A Guang, no matter what the final battle in the entire Mobei Battle is, I'm afraid that I can only win this military merit for you!" Sure enough, when there were only two brothers, Huo Qubing said without any concealment.
As soon as Huo Qubing said this, Huo Guang had not yet reacted. Huo Guang was about to ask, but Huo Qubing waved his hand to stop Huo Guang, and then continued: "I hope you don't resent as a brother. With your talent, maybe this can be a marquis as a second only to the first battle, but you are too young after all, and becoming famous at a young age will not only do you any benefit, but will be a serious problem for your future development."
When Huo Guang heard this, he suddenly understood that he naturally understood the truth that wood was revealed by Lin Feng. Moreover, the growth route Huo Guang himself set for himself was not to be too ostentatious. The reason why he was eager to seek merit was just to be justified in the army and help the three thousand cavalry defeat the more with fewer. Another important reason was that the situation was serious at that time, and Huo Guang had no choice but to do so.
"Brother, I understand it. Actually, I didn't intend to show off, but the situation was serious at that time, so I should keep my low profile in the future." Huo Guang knew that Huo Qubing had indeed tried his best to take good care of him, and it could even be said that he had taken good care of him. Even Huo Guang's future development was considered every bit.
"Well, I see that your words and deeds are quite smooth, and your behavior is moderate. As long as you are careful, your future achievements will definitely be higher than your brother." Huo Qubing really likes this younger brother, but he also felt something was wrong after he said this. Because Huo Qubing has the achievements of expanding territory, and his status is the top presence among the different surnames of the Han Dynasty. In addition to the founding of several kings of different surnames, it is impossible to achieve success beyond Huo Qubing.
"Is it true that my brother is a king in another surname? If this day really exists, even if I am a life, I will not be in vain!" Huo Qubing could only think in his heart, but he could not deny the great temptation of being a king in another surname.
"Brother, I have something unknown, I want to ask my brother to make it clear!" Huo Guang now calmed down from the joy of writing to ask for a seal, but after calming down, he found a problem.
"What do we brothers say, but it's okay to say it." Huo Qubing reached out and patted Huo Guang's shoulder twice. Huo Guang could truly feel Huo Qubing's care and honesty for him.
"Since my brother doesn't want me to be too popular, why do you have to write a letter to me specifically to ask for a letter to me? In fact, you can't mention my existence at all, just take revenge on Lu Zhi's achievements." Huo Guang was really confused about this. Since Huo Qubing didn't want me to be too popular, why did he still write a letter to me to ask for a letter to me to ask for a letter to me?
"So this is the matter? A Guang, do you know that Qin general Wang Jian?" Huo Qubing looked at Huo Guang with a smile. At this time, he also put away his usual serious expression and looked kind.
"Brother is Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period? I just heard of his name and asked for advice from my brother." Wang Jian and Huo Guang did know, but as he said, he only knew that there was such a person. As for what Huo Qubing wanted to say, he didn't know.
Huo Qubing took two steps and sat down in front of the desk, and signaled Huo Guang to take his seat. Then he spoke, "Wang Jian helped Qin destroy the six countries, and he brought 500,000 or 600,000 soldiers. Is Qin Shihuang not suspicious of these generals with heavy troops? However, Wang Jian always took the opportunity to ask the King of Qin for a blockade of land. Qin Shihuang not only did not dislike Wang Jian, but also trusted him more and treated him with courtesy. Do you know why?"
Huo Guang did not expect Huo Qubing to say such a thing, but this principle is easy to understand. Huo Qubing was undoubtedly telling Huo Guang that Huo Qubing is now similar to Wang Jian's situation, and seeking an official position for himself was just a self-deprecating method. In this way, Emperor Wu of Han would not be disgusted, but would trust Huo Qubing more. At this time, Huo Guang finally understood why the Huo Qubing he knew was somewhat different from the young man recorded in history books, who became famous but arrogant and domineering champion Hou.
"I remember when my brother said this, "Wen Zhonghou" was also greedy for the heavens and was self-deprecating." Huo Guang really learned a lot from Huo Qubing, especially how to make a good relationship between his subordinates and the king. The "Wen Zhonghou" that Huo Guang said was the founding hero Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty. In order to protect his life, Xiao He had to invade the people's fertile land and defile himself!
However, Huo Guang always felt that there was something hidden in Huo Qubing's doing this that he didn't understand, but he hadn't discovered it yet.
"Haha, for my brother, I am learning from Wang Jian and Xiao Xiangguo. But this is just one of them!" Huo Qubing smiled. He also felt that talking to Huo Guang was just a happy thing. He didn't have to hide anything in front of his brother. The key is that Huo Guang could see through it at a glance, and it was also relaxed and happy to talk to him.
Huo Guang sighed in his heart: "Sure enough... this is one, and there is really another."
"I don't know what the reason for my brother doing this, I really don't know if I'm stupid!" Huo Guang had to be modest. Although his soul experiences were longer than Huo Qubing, the status of the two was very different after all, and some problems were that he could not consider at his level.
"This is for myself, and the second is for you. In the future, you will also enter the court. Your Majesty is now a great master. Don't put your mind on Your Majesty in the future. What you do today, even if you don't report it to your brother, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know?" Huo Qubing woke up the dreamer with a word. Huo Guang then felt that he was too young and had a low level. Only Huo Qubing could consider these many things so comprehensively. Huo Qubing made such arrangements, and it can be seen that he really understood the way of ministers.
"I have been taught by my brother. I can follow my brother and I will avoid many detours in my life." Huo Guang also praised Huo Qubing, but this is not a simple compliment, but Huo Guang also expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
"You don't have to be too reserved. With my uncle and I, as long as you don't do anything ruthless, we will take care of you whatever happens. My Huo family man doesn't have to be timid!" Huo Qubing looked at Huo Guang resolutely. Although he left Huo Guang to teach him with his heart, due to Huo Qubing's personality, he is also a man with a strong and decisive decisive decision. After education, he will give Huo Guang confidence. This sentence is to cheer Huo Guang up and make him afraid of doing things in the future.
Huo Guang particularly noticed that Huo Qubing finally said 'I and my uncle'. This naturally refers to him and Wei Qing, which also made Huo Guang affirm that the Wei and Huo families were indeed in the same mood. No wonder in history they said that the Wei and Huo families were not distinguished from each other. It seems that some unofficial history rumors that Huo Qubing had disagree with Wei Qing after he became a general of the cavalry.
This time, the two brothers talked about heart-to-heart talks, and Huo Guang did learn a lot. After a period of time, he became calmer. Zuo Xianwang's army retreated, and after the previous battle, the Han army was also resting nearby.
However, during this relatively calm period, Huo Guang also solved a doubt in his heart, which was about scouts. It turned out that there were not no scouts in this period, but there was a big difference between scouts in this period and later generations. First of all, the number of scouts in this period was very small, and it did not become a normal system in the army. Scouts were just marquis leading troops, and some of the personal soldiers served as guards.
In other words, scouts are often only available to the commander of the first army, and these scouts are only complicated to observe the battlefield, and they are not as scattered as later generations, covering the dozens of miles of the army's operations.
The army rested for half a month, and it was not until half a month later that the 50,000 troops under Huo Qubing were launched again. During this period, Huo Guang also thought of telling Huo Qubing about the scout system of later generations and then promoting it to the Han army, but it would be fine if he thought about it in the end.
Of course, the most important reason why Huo Guang wanted to be low-key. Another aspect is that Huo Guang felt that the development of history naturally had his own rules, and some new things would naturally appear when the time came. Even if he announced the perfect scout system in advance, it might not necessarily play a big role in the end.
Although nothing major happened in the past half month, something crucial to Huo Guang happened. That is, just the day before the army set off, a messenger from Chang'an arrived. The messenger did not bring any important military information, but an imperial edict, an imperial edict on Huo Guang's reward.
Huo Guang felt incredible when the imperial edict came. Because the Han army is now almost half a month away from Chang'an, which means that Huo Qubing asked to seal a letter to Chang'an. Emperor Wu of Han immediately issued an order, and then sent it directly over without stopping.
When Huo Guang heard about Emperor Wu of Han’s reward for him, he was a little surprised and confused. Because Emperor Wu of Han did reward Huo Guang for his official position, but this official position was worthy of consideration.
Because the official position granted by Emperor Wu of Han to Huo Guang should actually be two official positions. The imperial edict said that Huo Guang was named "Shizhong of Caos". In fact, during this period, the Caos and the Shizhong should have two official positions, and both were added, which was not a real position!
