It has been half a year since the fourth year of Yuanshou and Huo Qubing's army came out of Dai County in the north. At this time, the Taichu Calendar of the Western Han Dynasty had not been formulated, and the "Zhuanxu Calendar" from the Qin Dynasty was used. The first day of the new year of this calendar every year is the first day of the October lunar month, and of course each year is still twelve months.

At this time, the Battle of Mobei had just ended, and it was the third day of the 10th lunar month, but the year was already the fifth year of Yuanshou. Huo Qubing's army returned without entering Mobei before. First, there was no need to be so rush to win and return. Second, thousands of Hun noble prisoners were walking with the army, so the speed was not a little slower.

In the October of the lunar calendar, the outside world was already a little chilling. Fortunately, the logistics supply was followed at this time, and the entire army added a few more clothes. This time the army returned in triumph, and the morale was very high on the way back. In addition, there was some wine and meat supply from time to time, so the Han army celebrated on the road almost every day.

After a month of march, the Han army crossed the Great Wall again and returned to Pingcheng County. Pingcheng County was actually the later Datong, Shanxi, which was later. However, there was no administrative division like Shanxi during the Western Han Dynasty. It belonged to Yanmen County, and Pingcheng County was the capital of Yanmen County.

On that day, the Han army was still thirty miles away from Pingcheng County. The Yanmen Commander had already led the officials of the Heyao, and together with the Pingcheng County Office, hundreds of people gathered on the pipeline ten miles north of Pingcheng County to welcome him. The Western Han County Commander was an official with a rank of two thousand stones, the second second in the county after the prefect. However, when such a person learned that Huo Qubing's army was going to pass through his own treatment, he had to set up a ceremonial guard to welcome him ten miles!

"The Marquis has another twenty miles to be Pingcheng County, but the Yanmen Commander Zhao He has already left the city and come to greet him!" Zhao Ponu's wife had already seen Zhao He before the army, and immediately turned over to report to Huo Qubing.

"Zhao He? Then I will order the entire army to camp ten miles away from Pingcheng County, rest for one night and leave tomorrow!" Huo Qubing was actually not familiar with who Zhao He was. Although the commander of a county was also considered a senior official, Huo Qubing had contact with middle and high-ranking officials in the court, and had good contact with local military and political officials.

"Brother, know this Zhao He?" Huo Guang and Huo Qubing walked side by side and asked casually.

"I heard that I have never had any interactions." Huo Qubing really didn't know this Yanmen Commander, but he had been greeted by everyone for ten miles, so he still had to meet him.

"Hey, Shizhong Huo doesn't understand. Our Marquis is at its peak. Now he has returned to the court with great victory. Who doesn't want to curry favor with him? I think Zhao He wants to take the opportunity to get close to the Marquis." Marquis Yiguan said carelessly. Although he is a hot person, he still understands the worldly styles. He is blunt.

"Hehe, the Marquis of Yiguan can see through!" Huo Guang said with a smile. Huo Guang knew that this man was like Zhao Ponu, who was both Huo Qubing's iron-kick, and this was not a secret at all. Even Emperor Wu of Han recognized it. Otherwise, Emperor Wu of Han would not have been so explicit in his title as the Marquis of Yiguan and Zhao Ponu became the Marquis of Piao.

"As generals who hold heavy troops in the court, we must not be careful in our words and actions. For these local military and political leaders, we should still keep a distance from them. It is understandable to pass by their territory to meet, but we must not make friends with each other in depth. You two must also avoid this!" Huo Qubing really did not miss every opportunity to teach Huo Guang. This time he told Huo Guang some official rules.

Huo Guang naturally listened to Huo Qubing's teachings attentively, and Huo Qubing always said the key points. Huo Guang found that after saying these words, Huo Qubing actually looked at Li Gan not far away with a profound meaning. He did not notice this, including Li Gan himself, but Huo Guang thought of a later generation's statement.

"Are my brothers suggesting at the same time that Li Guang was not allowed to be a marquis because he had personally received the seal of General Liang?" Huo Guang couldn't help but think that Li Gan had followed Zhou Yafu to quell the rebellion of the seven kingdoms, and then was appreciated by King Liang Liu Wu of the King of Liang because of his bravery. King Liang even awarded the seal of General Liang in front of the army.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were clear regulations that kingdom officials were not allowed to serve in the central government. Li Gan actually took the General Seal of King Liang, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on his future path. This is also the reason why Li Guang made great contributions in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but he did not have any reward. King Liang Liu Wu later wanted to compete with Emperor Wu of Han for the throne. As soon as Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he recalled Li Guang's past, and it would be strange if he could reuse him.

"It seems that the so-called Li Guang's difficulty in seizing is not just a fault. This mistake is wrong. Maybe if he hadn't met an emperor like Emperor Wu of Han, it would be hard to say whether Li Guang could survive until now! By the way, Li Guang should have committed suicide not long ago, and the military situation on the West Road is probably about to reach his brother. I wonder what would happen if Li Gan knew about this news?" Huo Guang estimated that Wei Qing's army was already on his way back to Chang'an, and Li Guang should have committed suicide at this time. To be fair, Huo Guang still has some good impression of Li Gan, and his father is definitely not a happy thing to die. If he could comfort Li Gan, Huo Guang would still be willing to do it.

"Secretary of Yanmen Commander Zhao He, please pay homage to the Marquis and the generals. The Marquis' army has returned triumphantly. The people of Pingcheng have prepared wine and food for the army and invite all the soldiers to come to the city to rest." Huo Guang didn't know when there was a group of people in front of him, and the leader was a general in his forties wearing armor. Needless to say, this person was Zhao He, the commander of Yanmen Commander.

"Emperor Zhao is too polite. It is inconvenient for the army to enter the city, so our army can set up a camp here." Huo Qubing directly rejected the army's proposal to enter the city, and there was no room for revolt. As soon as his military order was issued, several cavalry and soldiers immediately went to pass the order.

"The strict governance of the Marquis is really an example for officials and others to learn from. Since the Marquis does not want the army to enter the city, the later officials will send the food to reward the soldiers." Zhao He knew that Huo Qubing's military order could not be changed as soon as it was issued, so he found a way out. However, he left a way out for himself, that is, he could come again in the evening, and he also gave Huo Qubing a small trap. That is, Zhao He said that there were food to reward the soldiers for the people of Pingcheng, because Huo Qubing had already banned soldiers from entering the city. If he even refused these foods, then a little flaw would be left in the soldiers' hearts. Zhao He was the leader of the army, and the way of natural and relaxed. Although the military law was strict, it was not enough to make the soldiers give up their hearts. A good commander would still win over the soldiers' feelings, so Zhao He was sure that Huo Qubing would not refuse him.

"If you want to find the lieutenant, I will take me to thank the people of Pingcheng!" Sure enough, Huo Qubing did not refuse this time. This is the so-called open conspiracy. Even if you know the trick, you can't do anything about it.

"Haha, this Zhao He is really interesting!" Looking at Zhao He's departure's back, Huo Guang said with a smile beside Huo Qubing.

"It's nothing. These people are just trying to figure out what I mean. In fact, everyone in the world is like this. Even I have to figure out what Your Majesty thinks at all times. Only those who are inferior to the superior likes and hate what they hate is the way to establish their lives!" Huo Qubing saw through and spoke straightforwardly to Huo Guang. But the fact is that people are always trying to figure out what others think!

In the camp, except Huo Qubing and Huo Guang were in the main tent, other generals were fighting with the soldiers outside the tent. However, although the war was over, Huo Qubing still prohibited drinking in the army, and the soldiers were also rigorously going to Pingcheng tonight. After all, these tens of thousands of troops were adult men, and the Battle of Mobei had almost never seen a woman in half a year. Once you relax at this time, you may cause a huge disaster.

Huo Qubing was naturally waiting for Zhao He. Since this person said he was coming, he would definitely come. However, what the two brothers did not expect was that Zhao He, who was waiting in the big tent, did not arrive first, but instead waited for another person.

"Qi Zhu, the envoy of Your Majesty has arrived and is outside the camp at this moment."

"Well? What are your Majesty's envoys doing at this time?" Huo Qubing stood up unexpectedly. He couldn't figure out what Emperor Wu of Han seemed to have sent an envoy to do.

"Come in quickly." Huo Qubing said, tidying up his clothes and sitting in the handsome account.

Huo Qubing was not even present when he met the envoy of Emperor Wu of Han, but the envoy came suddenly and left quickly. Within half an hour, Huo Qubing personally sent the man to the camp gate.

The Han army almost didn't know about the arrival of the envoy of Emperor Wu of Han, and even after the envoy left, there was still a lively scene in the camp.

"Brother, what is Your Majesty saying?" Although Huo Guang had some speculations, he was also very curious about Emperor Wu of Han's intention to shoot the envoy.

"Look at it, my uncle's victory this time was not ideal, and even His Majesty was very dissatisfied with it. Several generals were implicated. However, His Majesty praised us so much and made an exception to reward the main generals of our army in advance." Huo Qubing handed a brocade in his hand to Huo Guang. Although the books were still bamboo slips during this period, brocade was easy to carry and had been used to convey letters.

Huo Guang took the brocade and began to read carefully. It has been half a year since he arrived in the Han Dynasty. Huo Guang can also use Han Li skillfully, and there is no obstacle in reading or writing. After reading after a while, Huo Guang found that the results of the Wei Qing Army on the West Road were indeed unchanged from those in history.

This time, Wei Qing still did not capture Yi Zhixie Shanyu this time. Although he also killed nearly 20,000 enemies, the Han army also killed more than 14,000 people in this battle because of a head-on battle with the Huns. This victory can only be considered a tragic victory!

What Huo Guang has always cared about Li Guang's ending was staged again. To be precise, last month, in September of the fourth year of Yuanshou, when Li Guang returned to Wuyuan, he led his sword and committed suicide because he was unwilling to face the interrogation of the swordsman. As for the reason, it was the same as in history, and the military period was delayed because he lost his direction.

"It's nothing wrong with Zhao Shiqi being imprisoned. My only worry is whether Li Guang's death will make Li Gan hate his uncle?" Although Huo Guang is not Wei Qing's nephew in strict terms, it's nothing wrong for him to call him like Huo Qubing. As for Li Gan's hatred of Wei Qing, Huo Guang also wants to remind Huo Qubing in advance.

"I don't have to hide it from you. In fact, the arrangements for Li Guang were what His Majesty meant. If Li Ganzhen dared to do something extraordinary, I would naturally not let him go."

Huo Qubing's words were like a stone that shocked a pool of deep water.

Huo Guangxin said: It turns out that's true...
