Long live the general

Huo Yi has just arrived in Xihebian County.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the ground is exuding high temperature, which continuously distorts the distant scene.Huo Yi was wearing heavy armor, and he could feel a suffocating sweltering heat when he walked around. The soldiers behind him were a little depressed. Sweat was flowing inside the helmet and red robes, making people dizzy.

Dai Viet's armor-making technology has made considerable progress over the years, from the previous piece-to-piece type to the fish-scale type, and it has been used in the army on a large scale.This kind of iron black armor is very strong in defense. For example, when two people fight, one wears armor and the other fights. A dozen or so knives can't cause effective damage, but the armored one can subdue the opponent with one knife. Armored army It is completely different from the combat effectiveness of an army without armor.

Therefore, Dai Viet allowed people to have long spears or crossbows in their homes, but did not allow them to hide black armor privately. Once it was found that there were more than six sets of armor, it was a crime of death and suspicion of conspiracy and rebellion.

Before this Northern Expedition, the shield soldiers in the Dai Viet army mainly relied on shields to protect themselves. Huo Yi observed in Border County for many years and found that the Huns never used shields, and they preferred to wear light armor. It will be more flexible and aggressive.It is precisely because of this that Huo Yi replaced shields with heavy black armor when training the army, and only a small number of shield soldiers used small shields.

But in summer, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry wearing heavy black armor dropped significantly, and some even suffered from heat stroke.

Huo Yi marched into Xihebian County with a mighty army, and Tao Jiamu and other officials greeted the victorious army at the gate of the city.

The gates of the city were wide open, and the people of Xihebian County lined up on both sides to greet each other, staring eagerly at General Huo and the chilling Xuanjia cavalry behind them, they cheered, and someone shouted: "The county guard is mighty!"

Huo Yi took off his helmet, his black hair fell down in an instant, and there was a slight smile on his pale and elegant face. When the people of the border county saw the face of their beloved sheriff, the cheers reached their peak.

"It's a lot of pressure to be a sheriff behind you." Tao Jiamu joked.

Huo Yi shook his head helplessly.

When the army entered the city, the Huns captives behind them also appeared in front of the people. The people's fear of the Huns went deep into their bones. They were slightly startled, and the atmosphere froze.

"Go to hell, Huns!" It wasn't until someone roared that the other people came to their senses and stared at the captives with hatred.

They lived here, working hard in the yellow sand to create food, but every autumn and winter, the Xiongnu raided from the north, looting and killing people wantonly.They can only hide in the city, but the farmland and houses outside the city will also be destroyed. The Xiongnu are like a pack of wolves roaming the desert. They run away, hide, fear and anger under the sound of horseshoes.

Those Huns always sat high on horseback, holding knives, bows and arrows, killing to their heart's content, and enjoying the fear of Dai Viet people towards them.

The Huns have always looked down on the people of Dai Viet, and they regard Dai Viet as a sheep that takes whatever it wants.

But now, they are defeated, they are captives.

The crowd was furious and stepped forward one after another, some even threw stones.Tao Jiamu hurriedly asked the soldiers in the city to maintain order until the cavalry went to the barracks and settled down. The noise on the street has not stopped, and more and more people are shouting on the street:

"General Huo is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Huo Yi took off his black armor, walked up to Tao Jiamu, and said, "You have to take care of those prisoners."

Tao Jiamu: "Why, are you afraid that they will run away?"

"I'm afraid they will be beaten to death." Huo Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and there was a trace of fatigue in his eyes: "This army will only stay in Xihebian County for two days. When Qiu Hongguang comes back, we will set off Back to Chang? Ann."

However, the battle report has been sent back quickly, presumably the emperor will get the news in ten days.

Tao Jiamu smiled. He stood in the yard with his head turned slightly, but he could still hear the cheers outside.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yi asked.

"Listen, they are still angry." Tao Jiamu said softly: "Even though they have been invaded by the Huns for hundreds of years and their farmland and houses have been destroyed time and time again, they will never feel from the bottom of their hearts that they should submit to the horseshoes of the Huns. Shame and failure will pass, and Dai Viet people have lived and thrived in this land, worked hard, and will never submit to any power.”

"This is the backbone of Dayue." Tao Jiamu said: "The Dynasty of Dayue will not always exist, but they will always be on this land."

The Dai Viet Dynasty will not exist forever, so dare to say this in front of Huo Yi?Huo Yi smiled and asked: "Why suddenly? Have such a feeling? Think?"

"I'm very happy to see you come back alive." Although Tao Jiamu's expression didn't look very excited: "By the way, where is Qiu Hongguang, why did you separate?"

"I asked him to chase after a thousand cavalry captain, and explore the road by the way." Huo Yi said: "According to the plan, he should be back tomorrow."

Tao Jiamu gave a long? long? oh: "Do you want to give him some credit?"

Single-handedly catching a thousand cavalry commander? Come back, this credit is enough for Qiu Hongguang to be promoted to several ranks, and he can be a captain without any problem.

Huo Yi smiled: "Young man."

"Young and energetic... Do you see the old you in him?"

Huo Yi was noncommittal.

Three days later, Qiu Hongguang still did not come back.

Huo Yi didn't show it on the surface, but he was so anxious that he was going crazy. He sent troops outside to look for news, but found nothing.

He couldn't help wondering whether Qiu Hongguang was ambushed, or a large army of the Huns. It would be fine if he was just captured, but what if Qiu Hongguang died? In the hands of the Huns?

Huo Yi always thought about where Qiu Hongguang would meet the Huns, and regretted that he sent him out alone.Since Qiu Hongguang didn't come back the next day, Huo Yi didn't think about food and drink, and any movement outside the city made him restless.

The best idea was that Qiu Hongguang might have lost his way in the desert, and Huo Yi even impulsively wanted to send troops out of the city to find him, but he forcibly suppressed this irrational thought.

Tao Jiamu said? He saw his past self in Qiu Hongguang, but it was more than that.

He feels that Qiu Hongguang is better than himself in the past, so he can also move towards a better future.

This young man is capable, courageous, aggressive, and even has natural cohesion and deterrence.Qiu Hongguang is born to be superior to this battlefield, as long as he is given a chance, he will be able to achieve amazing results.

But only if he survives.

On the fifth day, Tao Jiamu came over and said, "You should really go. You know best how much inventory there is in Bianjun. You can't afford to support [-] cavalry."

Huo Yi waited for a few days, feeling extremely anxious, and reluctantly said: "I know, I will leave tomorrow morning."

That night, Huo Yi ran to the city wall alone, looking in the direction of the desert in vain.

Waiting until dawn, the soldiers guarding the city changed into two groups, Huo Yi rubbed his face tiredly, and prepared to go to the barracks to bring the army back to Chang'an City.

Da da da.

The sound of the horseshoes of the cavalry suddenly fell on my heart as the wind blew and the grass blew in the distance.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately woke up, and the scouts in the watchtower watched from a distance. After a while, they shouted in surprise: "It's the flag of Dai Viet!!"

Huo Yi turned around abruptly, staring closely at the shadow that was gradually approaching in the distance. The young man in the lead was wearing a red robe and black armor, with a sharp outline. .

"Open the city gate!" Huo Yi shouted sharply, his voice even a little hoarse.

Damn, he's going to kill this kid?!

The gate of the city was wide open, and Qiu Hongguang led his troops across the gate like the wind, followed by two hundred cavalrymen closely following him.Qiu Hongguang pulled the reins violently, the horse stopped, and the armor made a harsh friction sound. He turned his head and held up a human head to Huo Yi.

The head and face are ferocious, and the dead are not closed. It is clear that it is the commander of Qianqi? Huyan pulls his teeth.

"General Huo, it's a good luck not to disgrace!" Qiu Hongguang shouted loudly.

Huo Yi pressed his fingers against the cold city wall, so hard that his knuckles turned white, thinking: Forget it, it’s not easy for young people, just beat him half to death.

When Qiu Hongguang left, he brought a thousand cavalry with him, and only two hundred remained when he returned. When these two hundred survivors returned to the large army of Xihe cavalry, they were obviously out of place.

Huo Yi simply didn't know what Qiu Hongguang had gone through with those 200 people to make them look like ferocious beasts, ready to choose someone to devour at any time.

Because Qiu Hongguang came back, Huo Yi bid farewell to Tao Jiamu, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about my people eating here, but this time I go back to Chang'an, I don't know? I don't know when we will meet again See."

Tao Jiamu took out an imperial edict: "We can meet in two days."

Huo Yi hastily flipped through the imperial edict. Generally speaking, the emperor had taken a fancy to Tao Jiamu's talent, so he was asked to become an official in Chang'an, and to help the emperor give advice at any time.

"Change the sheriff again?!" Huo Yi thought to himself, the people of Xihebian County change the sheriff every three days, can they bear it...

"Who is it to replace?" He still has a lot of affection for the people of Xihebian County, and he hopes to come to a county sheriff who can do things.

"Chen Hui."

It was only then that Huo Yi came to his senses: "Chen Zhonglang."

Fate is so erratic. When Chen Zhonglang came to invite Huo Yi back to Chang'an as an envoy, he must have never thought that one day he would become the sheriff of Xihebian County.

"Wait? Chen Zhonglang comes over, let's hand it over, and I can leave." Tao Jiamu said: "A lot of materials are left by you before, I don't need to touch them, I can give them to him directly."

He has only been a sheriff for a few months, and he changed from Huo Yi to Chen Zhonglang. It is estimated that the common people don't know that there is Tao sheriff in the middle.

Tao Jiamu was still a little sour, he asked: "I don't have any political achievements, and my political comments are written casually. How could His Majesty see me?"

Huo Yi: "Say? Maybe he called dozens of people to Chang? An in one go. You're just making up the numbers."

"Say it? Companion to a king is like a tiger. How is the little emperor's temper?" Tao Jiamu asked, "Say? Will he be beheaded if he says something wrong?"

Huo Yi thought for a while: "He attaches great importance to talents, and treats things rather than people. He is a monarch worthy of entrustment. But you have to restrain yourself? Otherwise? I can only advise you how long? How many heads."
