system of princes and generals

Chapter 22 Embark on a Journey
The sky is still the same, but without the gray haze, it is much clearer than in modern metropolises.The land is still the same, but the suet road has turned into a yellow sand road, giving it a more realistic feeling of stepping on the earth.

Standing under an old locust tree, Huo Guang kicked the last stone away, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

The setting sun in the western sky was like blood. Huo Guang felt a bit sour when he thought about his painful time travel experience.

Originally, I thought that when I became Huo Guang through time travel, I would be able to reach the sky as an official, and marry Bai Fumei to reach the pinnacle of life.

Of course—

Pooh!
"Host, your destiny is in your own hands!" Huo Guang pinched his throat and spoke in a systematic voice.

"My fate is in my own hands, what do I need the system for? Rubbish system!"

"Drip, the system name was entered incorrectly, there is no 'garbage system', please re-enter the name to start the system. Disrespect to the system is not allowed, otherwise you will be punished by the QQ Bugs Bunny star."

Huo Guang suddenly remembered that the system suddenly punished him with Wuyinghuo yesterday, he felt lingering fear and pulled his pants involuntarily.

The system has been very domineering recently, Huo Guang didn't dare to do anything wrong after learning yesterday's lesson.

I just think about it with bitter tears. Where is the promised opportunity to join the official position?
where?where?
hint?Yes, there are hints!
The only hint is to stand under this tree - wait.

sweat.
Sitting on a tree and waiting for a rabbit is almost the same, but I have never heard of someone who sits on a tree and waits for promotion to make a fortune.

According to history, Huo Guang should have been brought to Chang'an by Huo Qubing, who had returned triumphantly from an expedition, in the autumn of the second year of Yuanshou, and started his official career from then on.That victory was also one of the more eye-catching among Huo Qubing's many illustrious military exploits.

But it's only May now, and the eldest brother Huo Qubing hasn't gone to fight the Huns yet, so how can he bring himself to Liu Che's side.

The more Huo Guang thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Suddenly, there was dust flying in the distance, and a huge army moved from far to near, and a group of flying cavalry walked in the front, which caught Huo Guang's eyes.

The headed tall white horse has a scarlet cloak dancing in the wind in the setting sun.

The young officer on the horse has deep, piercing eyes, a clear face, and a calm and resolute face.

Behind him, on the horizon, burning clouds filled the sky, setting him off even more majestic and tall.

Who else could such a dignified and majestic young general be except his elder brother Huo Qubing.

Huo Guang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his mood at this moment was no less than the excitement when he just found out his college entrance examination scores.

The tall horse has already walked up to him with steady steps.

"Want to follow me? Light!"

I want to, of course I want to.

Huo Guang dreamed of it, but he didn't know that the opportunity came so suddenly.

Although he was excited in his heart, he still had to control his emotions on the surface. Huo Guang took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

With a calm mind, he replied calmly, "I want to!"

The electronic voice sounded again, "Hey, congratulations to the host for getting the opportunity to become an official. Please seize the opportunity and reach the peak of life."

——Zou Machuan, snowy seaside, flat sand, vast yellow into the sky. (From Cen Shen of the Tang Dynasty)

As a modern science and technology dog, Huo Guang did not read many history books, but the information about Huo Qubing that he read said that he was a victorious general. He attacked the Huns several times and returned with great victories, beating the hell out of the Huns.

He originally thought in his heart that as long as he followed Brother Qubing, he would have a house and a car, contacts, connections, strength, and strength.Fighting a small barbarian land is not like playing.

But after really going through this era, I realized that no military achievements can be made by bickering and writing bad manuscripts. The real people on the front line are the most steadfast men.

Of course including myself.

Because they were already in the vast desert, and they walked for two days, walking up and down almost the same, and they didn't see a single shadow of the Huns.

Yes, they got lost.

Huo Guang lived in the Northeast since he was a child, and later worked in the South. This is the first time he has come to such a wild place.

For him, the most frightening thing was not that they couldn't tell the direction, but the most frightening thing was the anxiety that slowly grew in the army because they couldn't find the Huns.

Here, everything looks the same as his mother.

The yellow sand spread from the foot to the horizon. Looking around, the sky was full of yellow sand, and the surrounding scenery was exactly the same. It gave people a kind of despair that could not climb out in a lifetime, and even began to doubt life.

Not only Huo Guang, but also the soldiers who followed Huo Qubing from his hometown in Chang'an were even more negative.

People are not afraid of hard work, but what they fear most is hopeless futility.

In this directionless desert, every step is like walking into an endless abyss. Huo Guang, the flower of the motherland who has gone through the high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination, and was mutilated by socialist exam-oriented education, has begun to doubt life. A recruit, a soldier with no culture.

The sweet human voice suddenly sounded in Huo Guang's mind.

"Drip, ask the host to complete the task and find a way to solve the current crisis. If the task is successful, you will be rewarded with a think tank."

puff.
"System, come out, I promise not to kill you!"

"The host should quickly think of a feasible method. The system is very sleepy now, and it's time to take a nap!"

Speaking of this system, Huo Guang was speechless. Shouldn't it be like other people's systems, helping his host subdue a fierce general, and then giving him superpowers, cheats, and the like.No matter how bad he is, he still needs to know how to cook, but she is fine, she has to do everything by herself, so why do she need the system, just for chatting!

The point is that you can't even chat well.

Chicken ribs!

"Drip, please host, please remember that misfortune comes from your mouth."

"I didn't say it, I just thought about it."

"You can't even think about it, I exist in the mind of the host, as long as you think about it, I can hear it."

Huo Guang: "."

Huo Guang finally understands why the ancients once said: "Heaven will send a great mission to the people, and they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Therefore, they are tempted to endure." Sex, once benefited what it couldn't do.

It turns out that these words are describing him. At this moment, I feel very uncomfortable, I feel aggrieved, and I really want to go home.

In fact, there is no systematic mission, and Huo Guang is also thinking about their recent situation. Although he is not the commander-in-chief now, he actually started the journey with Huo Qubing, not only for his so-called road of prince and general, but also to share his brother's worries. live on.

It's just that every time he went to Huo Qubing's tent, he always felt that he was young, and he always talked about his brother's caring words, and he didn't mention the biggest problem of getting lost since entering the desert.Maybe it's because I'm afraid that my younger brother will get angry in a hurry.

Huo Qubing didn't mention Huo Guang, but he also knew that in order to save food and grass as much as possible, the sooner he could find the main force of the Xiongnu, the better.

Every extra day, not to mention the consumption of food and grass, even the morale of the soldiers will also decline.

But it has been two days since they entered the desert, they stop and go, not to mention the main force of the Huns, even the flanks, even the little ones have not seen it.
