Long live the general

Li Feng asked Qiu Hongguang expectantly: "General Qiu, if it was yours, what would you do?"

Qiu Hongguang played with the handle of his knife and said casually, "Chasing forward, hitting."

Li Feng hesitated to speak, and of course he wanted to fight, but the problem was that it was not easy to fight, and he couldn't go on.

Qiu Hongguang went on to say: "If you go faster, they won't be able to do anything."

Li Feng: "...fast?"

Qiu Hongguang covered his mouth and coughed: "What I said? Tactics are different. It must be suitable for you. Everyone is different. Well, you can definitely find a style that suits you. .”

When it comes to quick raids, the very first one should be the first time that Dayue dispatched troops. Three of them returned without success. Only Huo Yi led a surprise attack on Dragon City, where Da Yue was light. The starting point of the cavalry's rapid raid tactics, and Huo Yi's style in the next few battles, caught the Huns by surprise.It's just that what he's leading now is a huge army with varying qualities and needs to pay more attention to overall considerations, making it difficult to carry out raids.In terms of raids, Qiu Hongguang had been taught by Huo Yi.

Huo Yi wants to train newcomers, so he is naturally generous with his guidance in this regard. Except for Qiu Hongguang, everyone he values ​​will give him some help.

Didn't Li Feng? Wasn't comforted? He lay on his back on the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt to cover his head, and murmured: "I'm a waste..."

Obviously, he had trained hard before going to the battlefield, and Li Yi and Li Hai also provided him with a lot of advice and precautions. Li Feng was ready to go to the battlefield in high spirits, discovering the real war and the imagined war. ?totally different.

First of all, there is very little time to fight, and most of the time they are on the road, endlessly on the road, and the road is a very tired and boring thing.Secondly, on the battlefield, it is difficult for a person to maintain reason. With a sword on his body, he will die at any time? Fear is always shrouded in his heart?At the moment when the battle started, there were loud shouts in my ears, severed limbs could be seen everywhere, bloody light flooded my sight, galloping horses, and the two sides rushed together. From the beginning, the front line quickly turned into a meat grinder, and life was quickly consumed.Arrows flying in the air whistled, and as long as the drums were beating, the battle would not stop.The tense atmosphere is breathless, everyone is desperately and quickly accepting death, all they are doing is one thing, doing their best to kill the enemy in front of them.

Those who have seen the battlefield with their own eyes will probably never forget this scene.

Li Feng was shocked. Everything he had accumulated before was turned into ashes. He had to look at war again and re-establish his mentality in this mass of ashes.

Seeing his dejected look, Qiu Hongguang wanted to comfort him, but he was not good at saying such words.

Li Fengmeng asked him under the quilt: "General Qiu, will you be like this for the first time on the battlefield?"

Qiu Hongguang hummed lightly. He was very excited on the battlefield for the first time. The moderate tension only made him concentrate more. Still very adaptable?

He was probably born for the battlefield.

This is Qiu Hongguang's unique talent.

"It's hard to say..." Qiu Hongguang said perfunctorily, seeing the curtain of the tent being pulled open, a slender and thin figure walked in, and immediately stood up: "General Huo..."

Li Feng was stiff all over, and immediately lifted the quilt. From his neck to his chest, he was wrapped in bandages, and his body was still a little weak.He wanted to? Turned over and stood up, Huo Yi hurried over and pressed him on the bed, and said, "Lie down and rest, the fever has just subsided, so there is no need to be polite."

Li Feng's face turned red immediately, and he felt ashamed, especially when facing Huo Yi, but he still had to pretend to be very calm.

Huo Yi looked at him, this 15-year-old boy was too good to understand, and the meaning represented by his eyes and movements was very obvious.Huo Yi remembered that when he was 15 years old, it was also the first time he went to the battlefield. Although he was very nervous, he had to force himself to look like he could handle it.

"General, I have insulted my mission." Li Feng said: "Please punish me, General."

Huo Yi glanced at Qiu Hongguang, Qiu Hongguang blinked and went out obediently.

Huo Yi didn't bother about the matter of King Youxian, but asked: "How did you trace this journey?"

Li Feng then told him five one ten ten, and Huo Yi listened, and occasionally put forward his own ideas.Afterwards, he asked about the specific situation of Li Feng's fight with King Youxian.

Huo Yi picked out all the problems in his actions and analyzed them for him. His tone was milder, and he didn't mean to blame him. He no longer needed these things to show Own majesty.After Li Feng heard this, he benefited a lot, and felt his own shortcomings more and more, and admired General Huo and Qiu Hongguang even more in his heart.

What General Huo is doing today is because he has some talent, but it is more based on accumulated experience and his own thinking.

And Qiu Hongguang is completely a gifted talent. When Huo Yi gave an example just now, although he only mentioned a few words about Qiu Hongguang briefly, his recognition and appreciation were very clear.

General Huo even thought that after one more battle, Qiu Hongguang would be able to lead the army alone.

Li Feng was a little envious, and gradually became less nervous.

Huo Yi came to see the child and left soon.

He finally finished writing the report, and then stationed the army in this area, waiting for further orders from His Majesty.

A month later, Zhou Zhenyan's reply came.

Together with His Majesty's edict, there is also a special envoy personally appointed by Zhou Zhenyan.That morning, just after Huo Yi woke up, he heard the voice of the special envoy outside.

Under Huo Xiaoman's service, he put on his formal robe, walked out of the tent, and saw the emperor's special envoy hastily dismounted from his horse, full of dust and dust, and he seemed to have come here at the fastest speed.

The special envoy was someone whom Huo Yi had never met before. The other party saluted him first and raised the imperial edict in his hand.Huo Yi knelt down halfway and listened to the edict read by the special envoy.

The edict said that I was very happy to receive the battle report.General Huo survived a hundred battles, repeatedly defeated the Huns, and defended Da Viet.Therefore, a special envoy was sent directly with the seal to the army to worship Huo Yi as a general, and to seal [-] households in Shiyi.

The special envoy read: "...the great general bowed down and led the army, and the division won great victories. More than ten people were won by the Huns, and eight thousand households were benefited..."

After many rewards, Huo Yi was already a marquis of ten thousand households, and with the addition of the eight thousand, there were more than 2 households in total.This number is really scary. From Dai Viet to now, no one has received such an award.

Is this really? There is no seal.

The special envoy has not yet finished reading, the Huo family has only one daughter, and Huo Lingyue has also been named a lieutenant, with [-] households in Shiyi.In addition, those who followed Huo Yi in battle? Qiu Hongguang, Li Feng, Li Hai, Murong Yuan, Gu Yan, Huo Xiaoman, etc. all received rewards. Although they were all generous, they paled in comparison to Huo Yi. .

Huo Yi received the edict, but what he thought in his heart was: Zhang Laiqian must be going crazy, if these lands were entrusted to him, Da Yue would not be able to collect taxes.

After the special envoy finished reading the edict, he immediately put on a very earnest smile, and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, General Huo."

Huo Yi saw that he was running around hard, so he said, "Your special envoy has had a hard journey, how about going to the tent to rest for a while, and then have something to eat?" There has been no war recently, and the overall atmosphere in the barracks is still relatively loose. They cooked cattle and slaughtered sheep, and what they prepared for the soldiers? They were all big fish and big meat.

Unexpectedly, the special envoy stood up straight and said: "General, there is another edict."

Huo Yi was slightly startled, then half-kneeled on the ground.

This edict is about the next battle plan. His Majesty the Emperor didn't intend to let them return to the court, but ordered all the troops to withdraw to Gaoque, and wait for the logistics troops to be replenished. , Attack again in late autumn.

Huo Yi frowned slightly, then took the edict.

The army soon set off again and returned to Gaoque for rest.

Now Dayue's longest arm can reach Gaoque, and it will take another two months for His Majesty the Emperor to collect food and grass and transport it to Gaoque.During this period of time, Huo Yi is training and preparing for battle.

His appearance was the same as usual, even Huo Xiaoman didn't notice any abnormalities.That night, when Huo Yi returned to the tent, he rubbed his brows and put the long sword on his lap. The candle next to him was burning quietly. Occasionally, the wind blew by, making his shadow like The water wave is generally shaking.

An announcement came from outside, saying that General Qiu had arrived.

Huo Yi responded, and Qiu Hongguang lifted the curtain, walked to him and sat down cross-legged.

"What's the matter?" Huo Yi asked.

Qiu Hongguang said: "General, do you think there is something wrong with His Majesty's arrangements?"

"Why did you say that suddenly?"

"I see that you have some concerns about sending troops recently."

Xiaoqiu is really sharp enough? Huo Yi thought to himself, he said: "I don't really worry about it, it's just that the dispatch of troops this time is too hasty, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good record."

This time there is no clear battle plan like before. King Hunxie and King Xiutu cannot fight. Their strength after the battle is far from being able to directly face the King Hunxie who is entrenched in the Hexi Corridor. Join hands with King Xiutu.At the end of autumn, when the Xiongnu were active in the desert, they could indeed gain something, but it must not be big. They were all small tribes. Huo Yi felt that it would be somewhat a little bit difficult to deal with those small tribes with the current force. Why do you use a butcher's knife to kill chickens? It means that it is a waste of supplementary grain and grass in the rear. Those farmers who transport grain and grass are all serving? Common people.

From Huo Yi's point of view, he thinks that he should go back to Chang'an City directly, and after making preparations, attack King Hunxie and King Xiutu directly.

Occupying the Hexi Corridor is very important to Dayue. Although King Youxian's tribe was defeated by Dayue, the place is extremely wide and easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is like opening the door and waiting for the enemy to attack.Only by occupying the Hexi Corridor can this door be closed.

Back then when King Youxian occupied this place, there was King Loufan in front of him occupying the Hetao area to guard the gate. It was the same reason.

"Your Majesty's decision is really inappropriate." Qiu Hongguang said: "Did he think that fighting is a very simple matter? There are too many things to consider when actually fighting. Now that the national treasury of Dai Viet is empty, it should not be so wasteful."

Huo Yi couldn't help but glanced at him, in his heart to help him hide his words.

"What do you think about this battle?" Huo Yi asked.

Qiu Hongguang continued: "Since you don't gain much from fighting here, why don't you go deeper?" His combat thinking is always somewhat different from other people's.

Huo Yi thought for a moment.

Qiu Hongguang crossed his hands, leaned forward, and said, "General Huo, if you want to give me a thousand elites this time, I'll walk to the side."

"Where are you going?" Huo Yi raised his eyebrows.

Qiu Hongguang spread his hands and said, "On the east and west sides, the entire area connecting the Hetao area and the Hexi Corridor. We all know that there are still many remaining? Hun troops here, and King Youxian is just one of them." It's just a big head."

"A thousand is enough?"

"More trouble."

Qiu Hongguang said enthusiastically: "General, do you want to send me that Li Feng? I think he has combat ability, but he lacks some experience."

Huo Yi smiled: "According to His Majesty's appointment, you are at the same level, can he be willing to follow you now?"

But they all felt that Li Feng should be willing?

Qiu Hongguang laughed, and his voice gradually became lower: "If he doesn't come, it will be his loss..."

Huo Yi asked him: "Why do you have this idea?"

Qiu Hongguang said honestly: "In this battle, King Youxian actually escaped from me? I didn't do any meritorious service. I always feel that something is missing."

Is it normal for him to think like this?

Qiu Hongguang added again: "Me too? I don't have to? Make meritorious service, not for rewards or gold and silver. General Huo, please give me a chance." He said this so sincerely that the entire barracks did not There is someone richer than him. If you want money, you don't even need to go home. Someone will send it to you. Even titles and so on, his family can buy them.

Qiu Hongguang looked at Huo Yi eagerly, but in the end he only got a "let's talk".

At the end of the autumn of the fifth year of Yuanding, Huo Yi became a general and led [-] cavalry to attack the Xiongnu.According to His Majesty's edict, Murong Yuan is the middle general, Gu Yan is the left general, Li Hai is the right general, and Li Feng is the rear general. They are divided into four armies and unified under the command of the great general Huo Yi. Dang set out from Gaoque, marched hundreds of miles north, and captured more than [-] Huns.

Qiu Hongguang sat on the horse's back, biting the grass root in his mouth, and tasted the slightly astringent "sweetness" in it.

Behind him are only a thousand cavalry and logistics troops, and the kid Li Feng.

Holding the gun, Li Feng urged the horse to come over and asked, "Where is this?"

Qiu Hongguang looked around, spat out the grass roots that had been chewed in his mouth, and said leisurely, "I don't know, either. We came here after chasing the remnants of the Huns? Well, how do I know? He put? We Where did you take it?"

Li Feng felt that this person must know, just because of his calm and composed look!

"Then what should we do now? Let's go back and join the army?" Li Feng asked.

Qiu Hongguang touched his own knife handle: "How can that be done, the one who ran away? That Xiongnu belonged to Shan Yu? Uncle! His name seems to be Hu Yanqieche. Let me tell you, I know him. .”

"You know him?" Li Feng's eyes widened.

Qiu Hongguang thought it would be interesting to tease this honest boy, and said with a smile, "Yes, we are old acquaintances."

The author has something to say:

In fact, Qiu Hongguang is the only fan of General Huo.
