Chapter 70 A Good News Becomes a Disastrous Failure

The little eunuch's words were like hitting a stone to fill up the already dark and turbulent lake with waves.

"Call him in quickly."

Unexpectedly, my brother's calculations were quite accurate, Huo Guang's little heart had already started to flutter, and he waited triumphantly for a while when the messenger soldiers came in to bring good news, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded him with something when he was happy.

He was beautiful in his heart, and suddenly he knelt down at his feet like an ordinary person, and before he could speak, he burst into tears.

Huo Guang was startled, what kind of trouble is this!Isn't it just to report a victory over the Huns? As for being so excited?Howling?Dude, your role in this scene is a bit too much, which assistant director hired a group performer.

Huo Guang cast a contemptuous glance at the messenger soldier who fell to the ground.

Not only Huo Guang, but everyone present was stunned by the messenger's actions. Isn't it good news, it looks like mourning.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned, and stared slightly, "Don't cry, tell me, what's going on at the front line."

The messenger soldier wiped his tears and nose, choked up a few times and said, "In a battle three days ago, our army was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Only less than [-] of the [-] army remained. Our soldiers died tragically. The Huns have no humanity. They captured our soldiers. The cruelty and insult are inhumane. Now the main force of the Xiongnu has surrounded our camp, but they have not made a large-scale attack, only a small-scale surprise attack. Our army lacks food, grass and weapons, and I am afraid that it will not be able to last for a few days. General Gongsun sent us to risk our lives to break out of the encirclement , ask the emperor for reinforcements, a small group of people, I am the only one left to return to Chang'an alive!"

Before the messenger soldier finished speaking, he began to cry on the ground again.

There was a violent wave in the hall, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was sitting leaning forward, slowly moved back.

"The good news I just said, why has it turned into a disastrous failure now?"

"Yes, did Huo Guang really collude with the enemy and betray the country, and sent false information back to the Han camp, which caused this fiasco."

"According to our army's power, if we can't wipe out Hunxie King County in time, at least we won't lose so badly. There must be something wrong."

There was an uproar, and the ministers who had been vacillating just now began to turn the bow of the boat, and those who originally thought Huo Guang was guilty, accused him even more unscrupulously.

Huo Guang's heart skipped a beat, and his face was also confused. No matter how stupid Gongsun Ao is, as long as he follows his own map and combat time, he will never be defeated.

Huo Qubing at the side whispered to Huo Guang, "Guang'er, this matter is not a joke, your information will not be wrong."

Huo Guang just wanted to say, no, the information will never be wrong.

Before the words could come out of his mouth, there was a sudden roar, and he fell from the head. Huo Guang's legs went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.

"Huo Guang, you brought back false information, disturbed the military situation, delayed the battle opportunity, and our army was defeated. What should you do?"

Huo Guang was indeed frightened by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. This tone and this formation pulled him out and chopped him down in minutes.

But he couldn't figure it out, unless the Xiongnu in King Hunxie County rebuilt the camp in a short period of time, his map would never be wrong, and the patrol time of the guards should have been fixed and would not change suddenly Ah, even if there is a sudden change, the difference will not be too much. How could the Han army cause such serious losses.

No, something must have gone wrong.

Huo Guang's spine felt a chill, but he still straightened his waist, "Go back to the emperor, Huo Guang's map and information will never be wrong."

"Then why did our army fail so disastrously." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words from the gap between his teeth.

"Huo Guang doesn't know. There must be something wrong, or..." Huo Guang suddenly had an idea floating in his mind. Could it be that Gongsun Ao's grandson didn't follow his information at all?Only then will he be defeated like this.

Huo Guang said to the messenger soldier kneeling beside him, "May I ask if General Gongsun adopted Huo Guang's plan, and did he use the map?"

It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, but when you talk about the messenger crying, the soldier cried even more sadly, "General Gongsun said that the map was sent by a traitor. It is unbelievable, and the battle plan is also from the mouth of a traitor. It must be to disrupt our combat policy. As long as we do the opposite, we will definitely win. Therefore, we, we did not use Huo Guang's information."

As soon as the messenger soldier said this, Huo Guang didn't need to explain. The battle plan that could have been a big victory was turned into a disastrous defeat by "doing the opposite".

Huo Guang gave a wry smile, very speechless, not only did you not use it, but you even killed yourself, blame me.

"Waste, a bunch of waste." Han Wudi slammed his fist heavily on the low table and roared angrily.

The ministers who were just behind taking the opportunity to add fuel to the flames to send Huo Guang off, trembled in fright, plopped, all knelt on the ground, and closed their mouths in unison.

The solemn hall was as quiet as death, no one dared to say a word, everyone held their breath, secretly looking in the direction of the emperor, time seemed to stand still.

Huo Guang felt what was often said in TV dramas up close, and Longyan was furious.

With an attitude of having nothing to do with himself, he glanced around. Those ministers who had just vowed not to kill Huo Guang just now were all terrified and kneeling on the ground. Embarrassed.

Huo Guang snorted coldly and rolled his eyes in his heart.

Emperor Wu of the Han lost his temper and slammed the table. Calm down. The most important thing at this moment is to quickly think of countermeasures to solve the urgent needs on the front line.

Although it will be heavy at any time, there can be no more losses, and the frontline soldiers who are in trouble will be rescued from the siege of the Huns.

Emperor Wu of the Han frowned, fixed his gaze on Wei Qing, paused for a moment, then slowly moved to Li Guang behind him, and sighed softly.In the end, his eyes flashed, his gaze stayed on Huo Qubing's face, his lips curled up slightly, and a gratifying arc passed by.

"Huo Qubing obeys orders."

Huo Qubing knelt on one knee and cupped his hands to obey the order, "The last general will obey the order."

"Now I order you to lead [-] elite soldiers to attack the Xiongnu, so as to relieve the siege of our army and defeat the Huns."

"The command of the last general."

Emperor Wu of the Han nodded slightly, and his eyes shifted to Huo Guang who was standing behind Huo Qubing with a dazed expression.

"Huo Guang obeys orders."

Huo Guang's heart tightened, originally he was happy that his elder brother regained his military power, but before he could react, Emperor Wu of the Han called his name forcefully, which startled him, and hurriedly imitated Huo Qubing's appearance just now.

He knelt on one knee and cupped his hands to obey the order, "Huo Guang listens."

"Now you are serving as the servant of the Cao Cao, serving as a military adviser, and following your elder brother Huo Qubing to fight against the Xiongnu for me."

Huo Guang is a little confused. Since he traveled to this staggered history, he has experienced so many things that he seems to have forgotten that his original purpose was to become a prince and general who is under one person and above ten thousand people. Although he doesn't know what the emperor is sealing today. official position, but it seems that he is about to really step into the official career.

Secretly happy in his heart, he said loudly, "Huo Guang leads the decree."
