Chapter 61 Human Torch
Naturally, no one cares about what Liu Xuan thinks in the camp. There is no need to think about the war with the Huns at this time.
Not to mention just doing some normal 'activities' with the concubines at night, even if Liu Xuan brought hundreds of thousands of troops to an open-air barbecue party, no one would say anything...
There was no way, the Huns' fighting power was really weak. Except for the serious fighting at the beginning, the subsequent work was no different from hunting.
The generals who wanted to gain merit were still somewhat energetic at first, but after fighting for a while, they lost interest. Gradually, this battle became the best opportunity for some ordinary generals and commanders to perform.
Liu Xuan was actually looking forward to it, and wanted to see if some familiar celebrities could appear again. Unfortunately, he didn't know any of the people who showed up.
"I'm still wondering if Ran Min will show up. It seems like we won't see him for the time being!"
As a result, Huang Yueying rolled her eyes at him.
"Based on his age, Ran Min wasn't even born yet! Even his father is probably just a little kid now!"
Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know the specific dates of birth and death of Ran Min. He just knew that he lived around this period. Now after listening to Huang Yueying's explanation, he understood that the famous Ran Tianwang is now
Not born yet?
"That's right! By the way, when was Hua Mulan born?"
There was no one else around at this time, only Huang Yueying was by her side, and Diao Chan took the white tiger out for a walk again. The white tiger has gradually adapted to the atmosphere on the battlefield, and cooperated very skillfully with Diao Chan. Now this tiger and a woman
The combination is also very famous among the Huns.
In comparison, Huang Yueying was much worse - there was no way, Huang Yueying's armor wrapped the person tightly. The Huns couldn't see who was inside, so naturally they didn't know Huang Yueying.
Since there was no one else around, Huang Yueying spat directly: "I'm just thinking about women!"
Liu Xuan snorted and looked like this.
But that's how it is. The emperor of the Han Empire was much more accomplished than the emperors of the past dynasties. He managed the Han Dynasty so powerfully, so what if he had a few more women? Not to mention Liu Xuan's concubines.
There were not many, there were only a few concubines in the palace, and the latest one to be admitted to the palace was Zhu Rong. After that, no woman could be canonized as a concubine of the emperor.
Some ministers also suggested selecting a group of outstanding young girls from various places to enter the palace, thinking that this would be in line with Liu Xuan's status. However, Liu Xuan himself looked down on those 'ordinary people'. The woman he was thinking about now. One was Hua Xuan.
Mulan, and then the only female emperor in the entire history of China - he was very interested in her, but it was still a long way until the woman was born.
So there is no need to pay attention to it for the time being, and I don’t have to talk to anyone.
But with Huang Yueying's intelligence, even if he didn't say it, she still knew his general thoughts. So she asked directly: "Besides Hua Mulan, who else are you targeting? Wu Zetian? Li Shishi? Chen Yuanyuan?"
After thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes twice and suddenly mentioned a few more names: "Is there another Jin Lian?"
Liu Xuan smiled and didn't answer, but in fact this smile was already the best answer, which directly made Huang Yueying spit a few more times.
The days were spent in nonsense, and a year passed without realizing it.
During this period of time, Liu Xuan never returned to Luoyang.
After all, the Han's war to annihilate the Xiongnu was of great importance, and the credit was huge. If the emperor sat in charge of the central army and did not return to the capital, no one would say anything bad.
What's more, everything is going so smoothly. According to the current situation, the destruction of the Xiongnu is only a matter of time. If the Han's imperial army exerts a little more force, it can complete all the tasks assigned by Liu Xuan before the end of this year.
But things won't always go smoothly.
As the territory slowly expanded and the Xiongnu population became increasingly scarce, it became increasingly difficult to find those hiding Huns.
Of course, in fact, if two or three kittens are left alone, they will perish themselves, so this is not a problem at all for the Han Dynasty. During this period, the friction between the Han Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty gradually increased.
The reason for all this is that the territory of the Xiongnu has basically been occupied by the Han Dynasty. In this way, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty truly became neighboring countries. There was no longer a buffer in between, and the existing conflicts between the two sides began to gradually erupt.
come out.
What poured fire on all of this was the fact that the three Xianbei countries that belonged to the Han Dynasty were preparing to completely merge with the Han Dynasty.
No matter from any standpoint, the Northern Wei Dynasty would not allow the three tribes of Murong, Yuwen and Duan to merge into the Han Dynasty, because this would have a huge impact and be very fatal to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the people in power in the Northern Wei Dynasty have always been
The Tuoba clan all hoped to win over these three families to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
But the current situation is that the three families are about to completely defect to the Han Dynasty. The furious Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty directly sent Yuchi and Huyan tribes to conquer the Xianbei Three Kingdoms. He wanted to vent his anger and also wanted to take advantage of the Han Dynasty to deal with the Xiongnu.
Take this time to deal with these three young men.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty did not directly declare war on the Han Dynasty, in fact it was not much different. Originally, the princes in the court were still thinking about whether to discuss with the emperor and directly mobilize troops to support the three kingdoms - in fact, the territory of the Xiongnu was almost adjacent to those three kingdoms.
, if the big man really takes action, he doesn't need to expend any effort, he can just transfer one of the hundreds of thousands of troops there.
Unexpectedly, before the Han army moved, the Xianbei army gave the Northern Wei army a very profound and unforgettable lesson.
On the endless grassland, Qin Lang and his younger brother Qin Ming looked at the camps in the distance and laughed. The two large camps opposite were the soldiers and horses of the Yuchi tribe and the Huyan tribe sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In addition, two of the most capable fighters represented the top combat power of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
But such a group of Northern Wei elites could not stand even a single round in front of the soldiers and horses led by their brothers.
It's not that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty are too bad, but that no one on the opposite side can stop the two brothers, so the two men can calmly lead their soldiers and horses to come and go freely in the Northern Wei army.
Speaking of which, these brothers are the sons of Qin Yilu, the captain of the Tiger Guard Army.
The eldest son Qin Lang and the second son Qin Ming. Although the two brothers are not twins, they look very similar. In addition, the years of training have left almost no trace on the two bodies. The only difference that can be seen has disappeared.
So it is difficult for people who are not familiar with them to tell which one is which.
For this reason, Qin Ming took the initiative to grow a big beard, which made him look much tougher than his brother. He even chose a very fierce-looking weapon like a mace.
As soon as his appearance came out, Liu Xuan shouted "Thunderbolt", which made Qin Ming get a nickname even though he had never been on the battlefield, which was rare.
None of these people knew why Liu Xuan called out such a title, except Huang Yueying.
But even Liu Xuan didn't expect that a nickname he shouted out casually would actually have a considerable impact, especially on Qin Ming himself.
If people used to call Qin Ming "Thunderbolt" because of the emperor's casual remark, now after this battle, no one else said it, but these Xianbei people who were subordinate to the Han felt that this nickname was very appropriate.
Qin Ming was fierce and swift on the battlefield. Even with the moves he performed, if he hit the opponent with a stick, even if the opponent's brains were not exploded, a ball of fire would explode on his body and burn him to ashes.
It was precisely because Qin and Ming were so fierce on the battlefield that the Xianbei Three Kingdoms Allied Forces won so easily.
The two brothers would lead the Xianbei army to fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty here. This matter actually has something to do with Liu Xuan.
At that time, the Three Kingdoms of Xianbei relied on the Han Dynasty. Liu Xuan and his ministers discussed the strategy of assimilation to conquer the Three Kingdoms, which included the provision of a large number of talents to the Three Kingdoms.
Apart from anything else, this military talent is the most urgent need among the three countries, but who among these barbarian countries is willing to come? Qin Yilu has been by Liu Xuan's side for a long time and knows some key points, so he suggested sending his two sons over to help.
The Three Kingdoms of Xianbei trained military horses, and at the same time, their two sons were awarded the title of school captain. Otherwise, with the current situation of many talents in the Han Dynasty, it would not be so easy for these two boys to be promoted to the level of school captain.
What's more, the Han Dynasty didn't have any wars at that time. Even if the brothers had talents, they had no place to show off. They might as well send them to the Xianbei Three Kingdoms to make some achievements. More importantly, the relationship between the Northern Wei and the Xianbei Three Kingdoms was quite tense at that time. If there was a war,
When war breaks out, the brothers are not afraid that they will not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Unexpectedly, there was no fight at that time, but it turned out to be a fight now, but the benefits were not without. The two brothers had been here for many years and were quite prestigious in the Xianbei army. Although they were not from Xianbei, they could command troops and horses.
It’s not difficult at all, just because I’ve stayed here long enough.
It was this situation that made Liu Xuan not even bother to send reinforcements when the Northern Wei Dynasty sent troops. He directly sent a message to the brothers, and only said: "When the opportunity comes, take advantage of it!" As for the other words, he didn't mention anything else.
Liu Xuan believed that the brothers knew what to do.
In the end, the two brothers did not disappoint him, especially Qin Ming, who really acted like a thunderbolt, which was really an unexpected surprise.
But after this incident, Liu Xuan started to mutter: "Now that the Thunderbolt is here, when will another leopard head pop up? My position as the gun and stick instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army is still vacant!" (To be continued...)
