Seeing the emperor's expression change drastically, Huo Qubing was a little worried. After all, he was a child who grew up in the Marquis's mansion. He was used to being influenced by the audience since childhood. Although he did not dare to deceive the emperor, he could avoid the important things in his words. He only said that he was a strange man from the mansion, and not the teacher his mother found for him.

Liu Che asked who wrote the silk book. After getting the same answer, he suddenly laughed to the sky and lost his heart. The eunuchs came to hear the sound and whispered to each other. I wonder why the emperor was laughing. Huo Qubing knelt awkwardly, as if he was on the slightest needle and felt awkward. Although he was a relative of the foreigner, Long Yan was moody. Who knew if he would turn against each other in the next second?

The mother would definitely not harm her, and the teacher would not deliberately anger the emperor. The emperor really laughed because of his happiness. The silk book and the jade pendant must have conveyed a huge good news. After Huo Qubing quickly analyzed it, he felt very satisfied.

He guessed right, Liu Che was really ecstatic. There were many explanations left by Emperor Gaozu in the royal secret file, one of which was about the gods. Liu Bang was defeated repeatedly in the battle with Xiang Yu. Once he was so angry that he lost his armor and fled alone. If it weren't for the gods' rescue, he would have become the ghost under the sword of the Chu army. The world would naturally be Xiang Yu. In order to repay the gods' life-saving grace, Liu Bang gave them to him with white jade. After the gods accepted it, he engraved the words Kunwu on the white jade and made an appointment with Emperor Gaozu for several years. After that, his descendants met with the jade pendants for rewards.

Liu Che would not take the reward seriously at all, even if he was the Marquis of Wanhu, he would be willing to give it up. He was happy that the gods appeared again and presented the jade pendant with the silk book. He was already very clear about the meaning. With the gods and immortals to help the battle, the chances of winning in the Northern Expedition of the Huns were only between 55 and 5 now, but now he is 100% sure.

"Get rid of the disease, where is this person? I want to summon him. By the way, let Dongfang Shuo come too." Liu Che was excited and thoughtful, and asked Dongfang Shuo to distinguish the authenticity of the gods. There are many sorcerers in the world these days.

"Abide by the order!" The young man Huo Qubing ran out in joy and rode his horse out of Weiyang Palace.

But the teacher was gone, not in the mansion, and no address was left. He searched the northern palace of Weiyang Palace without seeing anyone. The boy woke up and saw that the teacher's outfit was a person in the market, so he should go to the market to search. So he rode his horse to the market and found a teacher who was playing monkeys and performing skills among the crowd.

Huo Qubing felt his face hot, and the teacher was actually performing in public. Wouldn't it be a shame to spread it? He held back his temper, and the blood vessels on his temples jumped and turned his horse's head away. Liu Yanzhi saw his son's embarrassing and angry expression through the onlookers in the inner and outer layers. He disagreed and continued to knock on the small gong in his hand. The monkey was performing somersaults hard. The copper coins around him were sprinkled like raindrops, and the shouts were loud, but it sounded like a needle to Huo Qubing.

The young man returned to Weiyang Palace first to return the order, saying that the man parted without saying goodbye and never found him again. The emperor was not angry. He was a god, all of whom had personalities, and he was not a jester like Dongfang Shuo. He pondered for a moment and issued an order, and appointed Huo Qubing as the captain of the Piao Yao and followed Wei Qing to expedition the Huns.

The conquest of the Huns was already planned. The army, horses, food and fodder were ready, and they just waited for a good day to go on a war. They had no intention of letting a seventeen-year-old child like Huo Qubing join the war, but the emperor changed his mind temporarily. Not only did he let him fight with the army to fight in the south of the Mo, but he also appointed him a captain who was only lower than the general.

Huo Qubing was extremely surprised and thanked him again and again. The emperor was calm and asked the eunuch to hand over the jade pendant on the table to his nephew.

"You wear this." said the emperor, "I don't need it."

Huo Qubing, who was confused, returned to Chen's mansion and reported to his mother what happened today. Although Wei Shaoer was worried, he thought that his younger brother Wei Qing was the commander of the army. No matter how hard he was, he would not suffer his nephew. Moreover, the Wei family was humble and needed military merit to consolidate the foundation. Besides, there was also a god-born father who was guarding him.

"Son, you have to listen to your uncle's words when you go to war. Just be a grain supervisor." Wei Shaoer didn't know how to fight, and only knew that the position of grain supervisor was the safest.

"If I want to be a general, I will be a general." Huo Qubing said proudly. He had no father since he was a child. He grew up in a pile of makeup. He was so doting that he was lawless. He was barely skillful in bowing and horses, but compared to the Huns who grew up on horseback, this ambition aroused deep worries from his mother, but the emperor's words could not be changed.

"That teacher is just a liar." Huo Qubing said angrily, "My son saw him performing in the market."

Wei Shaoer smiled gently. She didn't care. She should let that guy taste the feeling of being despised by his son. Who told him to leave the mother and mother behind?

...

A few days later, Huo Qubing took two hundred light cavalry and headed straight for Dingxiang, Hedong. His uncle, the emperor's brother-in-law, and general Wei Qing led an army of 100,000 in Dingxiang, waiting for the imperial edict to go to the expedition.

Huo Qubing stopped on the hillside and looked at the Han army camp in Dingxiang. It stretched for ten miles, with flags waving. The cold wind in February was like a knife. The young man was covered with passion and blood. He held the commander's seal and swept the Huns. His ambition was about to become a reality.

But after entering the camp, reality gave him a cruel blow. Life in the army was too difficult. Even the general could only live in a tent. He still shivered when he wrapped his quilt tightly in the cold night. General Wei Qing took good care of this nephew who came to gilt and arranged twenty personal soldiers to serve him. He did not have to raise the tent or practice in the morning, and even had a small meal.

But Huo Qubing was a stubborn boy. He didn't want to be seen as a chick hiding under his uncle's wings. He took a group of personal soldiers to hunt horses and practiced his ability to kill enemies. However, after seeing this, the veterans still shook their heads and sneered.

Wei Qing is only 30 years old this year, but he is already a veteran general who has been through the battlefield for a long time. The general's military position is not based on the relationship between the emperor's brother-in-law, but is shot by one. As a slave's son, he is also a lowly illegitimate child. His living environment has been extremely harsh since childhood and he is treated like a beast. At the age of fifteen, because his sister Wei Zifu was favored by the emperor, he became the emperor's close minister and attendant overnight from a slave who raised horses. Others would have been complacent and caused a murder. However, Wei Qing did not forget it. He still maintained a low-key and cautious style, so he was even more trusted by the emperor. In addition, his military achievements were outstanding, and it was reasonable to become the highest military chief of the Han Dynasty at a young age.

The nephew Huo Qubing is also a son of a slave and a child born from an affair. However, unlike Wei Qing, he escaped from the sea of ​​suffering with the queen's relationship in his childhood. He grew up with a wealth of clothes and food and could not endure hardship at all. This time, he went to the army with the army to fight for training and to cover up his mouth when he was promoted in the future, so Wei Qing had no intention of letting him go to the battlefield at all.

A few days later, the army set out on schedule. Before the deportation, Wei Qing ordered Huo Qubing to stay in the rear to supervise the transportation of food and grass. Although Huo Qubing was unwilling to give up, his military orders were as good as a mountain and had to obey.

Ten thousand Han troops went out for an expedition, and the camp was empty, with only three thousand old and weak left behind. Huo Qubing was wearing black armor and was furious in his tent. Suddenly, a curtain was raised and someone entered without invitation.

"Bold!" Huo Qubing shouted angrily, and when he looked closely, it was the "teacher" who was coming, wearing Han military armor, looking like an old man.

Liu Yanzhi had already arrived at the Dingxiang camp and secretly observed the movements of the Han army. The Western Han army during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han was very powerful. First of all, the weapons were different. The Han army generally equipped the ring-headed sword made of steel. The arrowheads made of steel were much sharper than the boneheads used by the Huns, and the war horses were relatively sufficient. The only disadvantage was the quality of soldiers. After all, the children of the peasants in the Central Plains were not as good as those on the horse's back, but the quantity advantage could offset the quality gap.

Unexpectedly, Wei Qing acted conservatively and did not dare to let his nephew take risks, so Liu Yanzhi had to take action personally and encourage his son to violate military discipline.

"You liar!" Huo Qubing was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He drew his sword in his hand and slashed his head.

Liu Yanzhi flicked his hand and the sword came out. Huo Qubing covered the cracked tiger's mouth and was about to call the guards, but he saw the "teacher" pointing to a corner of the sand table in the center of the tent and saying, "The Huns royal court is here. If you set out tonight, you will arrive here in about seven days. Hurry up and take them all in the pot before Wei Qing."

Huo Qubing involuntarily walked to the sand table. He was not a military blind man who knew nothing. Although he had never been to the battlefield, he had also heard many common sense. The long-distance raid that the teacher said was not unfeasible. It was just that during the implementation process, he would encounter various unexpected difficulties, such as strong wind and sand, lack of water, lost, and lack of a suitable guide. If you go deep into the desert alone, you will be seeking death.

As if he guessed what he was thinking, Liu Yan straightened the sand table with his hands and re-arranged it: "This map is too inaccurate. There are oasis here that is not marked. This is the quicksand area, and here, the water and grass are fertile..." The sand table he reshaped is more complex and precise, and every spring and oasis is marked, and even a surprise attack route is drawn.

Huo Qubing became excited. For some reason, he believed everything the teacher said, although he wanted to draw his sword and kill this person a moment ago.

"But I don't have military talismans in my hand, even if I have one, I don't have any elite soldiers to take." An excited blush appeared on the young captain's face, "I'm disobedient to fight without permission and want to behead him."

"The military talisman is not a problem. There are still three thousand old soldiers in the camp. Don't underestimate these people. They are experienced and hard-working. You pick out eight hundred people, each with three horses, no heavy armor, only with a knife and bow, each with three pots of arrows, water and dry food, and make a quick move forward lightly, and stop horses and people without stopping. In seven days, you will definitely be able to kill the Xiongnu royal court."

"Where is the guide?" Huo Qubing was still worried. He didn't care about suffering and suffering, sacrifice and bleeding, but he attached great importance to victory or defeat. It was a waste of time if there was only a sand table without a guide.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Where do you think this sand table map came from?" He said that, putting the military talisman on the case.

"Do it!" After all, it was a seventeen-year-old boy who was rushing up his blood and never cared about it again. He picked up the military talisman and asked his personal soldiers to pass the orders and gathered the entire army.

In a short while, three thousand old men and women lined up in the schoolyard. Huo Qubing picked up 800 veterans with fair physiques, each equipped with three war horses, set off lightly, and marched north overnight.

The young general was motivated and took the lead. The white feathers on his helmet were dyed red by the sunset.
