416 Deja Vu

Zhang Cigong's face was so hot that he almost bit his tongue.

Seeing that Liang Xiao was covered in gray, tired of people, and severely insufficient horses, which was completely inconsistent with Li Guang's luxurious formation of three horses, he naturally thought that Liang Xiao must have lost the battle and lost all his belongings, so he made a bold statement.

Who would have thought that the black and gray on Liang Xiao’s face was actually because of burning the Xiongnu’s supplies and burning two camps in one breath.

People who have no brains know that the Huns are strong and the possibility of defeating them head-on is very small. The only way is to destroy their logistics supplies and force them to evacuate themselves. But logistics is not so easy to destroy. The Huns will definitely be heavily guarded and taken care of. The risk of robbing the camp is very high. If you are not careful, you may become a dead end.

At least Zhang Cigong himself dared not. Although they had 10,000 cavalry, they were not sure to complete the task before the reinforcements of the Huns arrived. In fact, they could not bypass the army of the Right Xianwang at all, and they did not even have a chance to attack.

But Liang Xiao did it. He only used three thousand cavalry to burn two large baggage camps of the Huns, and some controlled casualties and lost only some war horses.

Compared with the supplies of the two Huns, the price of these thousands of war horses was worth it. In this case, his sarcasm seemed very stupid. Liang Xiao raised his fingers like two knives, which directly poked his eyes blinded.

He has eyes but no beads! Zhang Cigong's face is red and he wishes there is a crack on the ground so that he can get in.

Liang Xiao and Cheng Buzhi greeted each other and left. He was Li Guang's general and did not need to report to Cheng Buzhi.

Cheng Buzhi had a dark face and said nothing. Of course, he knew that Liang Xiao was unhappy. He was unhappy. Zhang Cigong had a conflict with Liang Xiao in front of him. He had no general as his eyes. If it weren't for Wei Qing's sake, he would have had an attack on the spot.

"General..." Wei Qing was embarrassed and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.

"General Wei, needless to say." Cheng Buzhi suppressed his anger and said slowly: "You came just right, set up camp immediately. Although the Right Xian King retreated, the Shanyu had not left yet. If he could severely invade Shanyu, it would be a great achievement."

Wei Qing agreed repeatedly.

After discussing the war arrangements with Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing left Cheng Buzhi's central army tent. He walked quickly and said nothing. Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao followed closely, looked at Wei Qing's face, and tried to speak several times, but they could not open their mouths.

After leaving the central army, Wei Qing stopped, turned around and looked at them, and said in a deep voice: "You go back and prepare. The Shanyu will withdraw his troops soon. Can he make a contribution? This is the last chance."

"Yes." Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong quickly bowed. "Zhongqing. Where are you... going?"

"I'll go and apologize to Bo Ming." Wei Qing glared at him, Zhang Cigong. "You are my brothers, and Bo Ming is also my brother. You are not humiliating Bo Ming, but humiliating me."

Zhang Cigong was very embarrassed. Wei Qing waved his hand, turned his horse on his back, and ran towards Liang Xiao's camp with Wei Tao. Zhang Cigong and Gongsun Ao looked at each other and cursed at the same time, extremely disappointed.

Wei Qing came to Liang Xiao's camp. The soldiers were camping. Liang Xiao was checking the surrounding terrain. Seeing Wei Qing, Liang Xiao grinned and waved his hand to signal Tu Niuer and others to disperse. Wei Qing jumped off the horse and bowed apologetically. "Bo Ming, I'm really sorry. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Liang Xiao patted Wei Qing on the shoulder. "Zhongqing, you and I have been together for many years, but I still don't know you. I know that they and you have a life-long friendship, but now they are in the army, which is not as usual. If they are so presumptuous, you should also take care of it, otherwise how can you convince the public?"

“Yes, yes, it’s my fault.”

"Don't take everything to yourself. The man in the army is so arrogant. I know this very well, but I can't be so arrogant. You and I are brothers, so I can't ignore it. If it were someone else, I could let him go so easily." Liang Xiao paused and said, "Don't you get along well with General Li?"

Wei Qing nodded with a wry smile. "I can't hide anything from you."

"Is this more important? General Li's temper is better than you. Gongsun Ao and Zhang Cigong want to learn from him, they must have the capital. They are so arrogant now. Others are either targeting them everywhere, or thinking that they are domineering in reliance on Mrs. Wei's relationship. No matter what, it is not a good thing, especially for you."

Wei Qing sighed and frowned slightly.

Wei Tao walked over and bowed, "Mr. Liang Jun. You are right. Zhongqing is sensitive and is rejected openly and secretly. But what can he do? This time he went on a war, but unfortunately, and he has not really made any military achievements so far. Please give me more advice."

Liang Xiao glanced at Wei Tao and his expression calmed down a little. He knew that Wei Qing was not feeling well now. History has changed. Wei Qing was covered by his light and he would never have the good luck of becoming famous in history. If he could not make meritorious contributions, it would not be proved that the emperor was right to use him. It is really hard to say whether he could have such an opportunity next time.

"It is actually very simple to make contributions." Liang Xiao raised his lips slightly and laughed. "If you want to hunt foxes, you must be more cunning than foxes. If you want to fight jackals, you must be more fierce than jackals. The characteristic of the Huns is that they are faster, so you must be faster than him."

Wei Qing's eyes flashed. "You mean, reduce the number of cavalry and increase the speed?"

"That's right. Our cavalry is not as large as the Huns. You can only have a front-line chance if you are faster than him. Otherwise, you can only passively respond."

"But, in this way, we can only equip three thousand cavalry..." Wei Tao was a little worried. "Is three thousand cavalry too few?"

"General Cheng seized some war horses, you can come over. Otherwise, if he is asked to arrange a lieutenant to cooperate with you. In addition, if it is a two or three hundred miles of raid, you don't have to bring much food and grass, one person and two horses are enough. Our army's weapons and equipment are stronger than the Huns. If there are five thousand cavalry, even if it encounters ten thousand cavalry of the Huns, we will have the power of fighting. If the troops are equal, we should have a winning rate of more than 70%.

Wei Qing nodded repeatedly.

"In addition, the Huns are accustomed to riding and shooting, and are not good at close combat. They are often equipped with elite armored swords and halberds. Forced breakthroughs. Use their equipment advantages as much as possible, and fight the Huns to run away when they see you, so that they can take the initiative in their hands. The impact of morale fluctuations on combat power cannot be underestimated."

Wei Qing was deeply moved. "Thank you, Boming, I will do it here. I have made contributions and I will definitely invite you to drink when I go back."

"I really want to thank me, hurry up and marry my junior sister." Liang Xiao said half-jokingly: "What's the matter with you hanging like this?"

Wei Qing blushed. "It's not that he refused to marry her. It's because I have no shame. If I can make meritorious service and receive rewards, this matter will naturally be done."

"I hope so."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Han Yan shouted and rushed into Chengming Palace.

The emperor turned around, frowned, and a little displeasure appeared on his slightly pale face.

"Your Majesty, good news." Han Yan rushed to the emperor and shook the military newspaper in her hand. "Good news."

The emperor's eyes flashed, and his anger turned into joy. "What good news? The Huns left?"

Three days ago, he received a military report from Han Anguo. Li Guang and Wei Qing attacked Loufan King's troops and succeeded. Loufan King was wiped out, and the two Hun kings who occupied Henan were all defeated. But the situation was not very good. The Huns Shanyu and the Right Xian King led 80,000 elite cavalry to regain the Henan territory. It was okay that Han Anguo was guarding the Shimen Pass, but Cheng Bushi was very dangerous in Daze.

Once the Huns defeated Cheng Wuzhi's troops, Han Anguo could not support them alone, and Henan would inevitably lose their gains and all previous efforts were wasted. Maybe the Huns would take the opportunity to retaliate and invade border counties, or even go directly to Chang'an.

The battle situation has reached its most critical moment, but the emperor has no choice but to do anything. In a short period of time, he has no more troops to use, especially cavalry. He can only place his hope on the generals on the battlefield.

From another perspective, he was a little happy. Facing the Huns, the biggest trouble for the Han army was that the number of cavalry was insufficient and the main force of the Huns was that they could not capture the main force of the Huns. This time, he accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion and aimed at Henan. As a result, the Huns came on their own initiative, and the Han army even had to go out of the frontier to face the main force of the Huns. If they could kill the Huns in large numbers, even if the casualties were greater, it would be an unprecedented victory.

Of course, he also hoped that the Han army would win a great victory, but he knew better that this possibility was too small. Unbeaten was the best result.

With this expectation, the emperor opened the military newspaper and glanced at it quickly.

Yan Zhu and others surrounded him and watched the emperor's expression nervously. They breathed with the emperor and shared their destiny. If the war in the northern border was unfavorable, they would be the one who was under the greatest pressure.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, followed by the corner of his mouth, and a smile slowly bloomed from the corner of his mouth, and then quickly spread out.

"Okay! Good fight!" The emperor was so excited that he waved his arms hard, as if he was very powerful. "It is worthy of being a talent trained by Huan Jun. Haha, this time, even General Li is a little inferior."

After hearing this, Yan Zhu and others felt relieved and quickly congratulated the emperor. The emperor general sent a message to them, turned around and walked outside the hall, spread his arms and let out a long roar.

"Win, win, we win"

Seeing this, the men on duty at the corridor turned around at the same time, faced the emperor, stroked their chests and bowed, and shouted long live the mountain.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

After reading the military newspaper, Yan Zhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately forwarded the general newspaper to King Wuqiu Shou. He quickly walked to the emperor and laughed softly: "Your Majesty, Liang Xiao is indeed good at raids, and this time he seized the opportunity."

"Of course." The emperor was nervous for so many days, and suddenly received good news, and was ecstatic and speechless. "He is the general I took with my own eyes."

"Your Majesty knows people with wise eyes, which is comparable to ordinary people." Yan Zhu said with a smile: "I feel familiar when Liang Xiao uses troops, but I just can't remember it for a moment. Does Your Majesty have an impression?"

"It seems familiar?" The emperor was stunned. "Among my famous generals, is there anyone who uses military force like this?"

"The Han generals... don't seem to be there." Yan Zhu put away his smile and stared at the emperor with a burning look.

The emperor thought about it and suddenly realized. "You mean..." His eyes rolled and he changed his words. "No, no, it's impossible."

Yan Zhu looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. "Your Majesty, I also think it shouldn't be. However, I am from Wu, Huan, Zhongli, these two surnames, plus this superb cavalry tactic..."

The smile on the emperor's face dissipated, his eyes twitched, and he showed a little uneasiness.
