Chapter 21 Hussars of the Han Army

Yue Rao, Qu Jun and Song Ran, not only know how to ride horses, but also show off to ride well.

So when Huo Qubing asked them before, the three of them agreed happily.

But shortly after setting off with the two hundred cavalry commanded by Huo Qubing, Yue Rao and the other two became suspicious of whether they would ride horses.

If you climb onto the horse and ride the horse, and you can adapt to the rhythm of the horse and follow the ups and downs, even if you can ride if you don’t feel tired after sitting for a long time, Yue Rao, Qu Jun, and Song Ran will definitely ride well.

However, they were much worse than the cavalry who fought on horseback and ate and lived with horses, and it would be no exaggeration to say that they could not ride.

As soon as Huo Qubing and the two hundred elites boarded the horse's back, their momentum increased suddenly and they shot out in an instant, like a gust of wind blowing towards the southwest.

After this team left Chang'an, the speed became faster and faster.

Yue Rao and Song Ran followed behind, urging the horse crazy, but could only watch as they fell behind and were left farther and farther away.

After eighty years of the founding of the Han Dynasty, from the beginning of its founding, I realized that if you want to fight against the Huns, you must have a cavalry that is not inferior to them, otherwise you will always be on the defensive, unable to attack, and unable to take the initiative.

In the Former Qin Dynasty, even earlier, the Chinese began to confront nomadic tribes on the northern grasslands.

The hatred and fighting that lasted for hundreds of years, by the Han Dynasty, as the country was intensified, it paid more attention to the cultivation of cavalry.

After Liu Che ascended the throne, he was ambitious and wanted the four barbarians to surrender. He even invested a lot of energy and financial resources in the flexible and mobile cavalry, which led to the mature cavalry team.

They climbed behind the horse, and their energy was connected, as if they had used some kind of military formation technique, and they were really galloping like lightning.

Yue Rao, Song Ran and Qu Jun looked at the team ahead, and raised a scattered dust and could only follow behind and eat dirt.

But the three of them were willing and even felt a stream of passion slowly boiling in their bodies.

Is this the Han army that defends the territory of the Han Dynasty?

It was such a Han army that blew blood on the border, leaving Chang'an, China and the people were not disturbed by foreign tribes.

"shelf!"

Qu Jun roared wildly, his legs tightly clamped his horse's belly. Although the team ahead kept throwing away a longer distance, he felt full of joy:

"My Qu Jun just found out today that he couldn't ride a horse, hahaha!"

Yue Rao and Song Ran looked at each other and smiled.

The cavalry in front gave them the feeling that the horse and horse were united. The horse held the figure without weight, so it could run faster and faster.

Of course, the equipment of this Han army is also very special.

All horses are engraved with a spell from the Mo family. Legend has it that this is a unique equipment from a secret pattern army from the Former Qin Dynasty, and it is also said that it comes from the illusory "Immortal", which contains mysterious power.

The sacrifice engraved with this spell can make the horse run faster and last longer, and truly travel thousands of miles a day.

The Han army on horseback was even more armed to the teeth. In order to reduce weight, each person was only wearing light armor, but carrying a strong crossbow, with a long sword and a spear with slender handles, but amazing penetration. Even the arms were arm shields and hook locks that twisted the opponent's weapons.

Such a Han army was composed of old soldiers who had been through the battlefield for a long time, so they were able to be as powerful as a hundred people!

As the horses ran, Yue Rao's undulating figure was surging and extremely magnificent.

At this time, she saw a cavalry in the team ahead that significantly slowed down and was waiting for their approach.

With the sound of horse hooves, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.

The Han army was only about twenty years old and was quite handsome, but had a bronze skin and a strong temperament. Seeing a few people approaching, the Han army said helplessly: "Can't you ride a horse? Captain Yao asked me to stay and take you, so that you won't be lost."

Qu Jun and the other two were surprisingly consistent: "The three of us are indeed not good at riding horses."

The Han army had no choice but to say, "Follow me, let's not hurry up, go slowly. Shizhong Huo and his team should stop moving quickly to rest at night, and we will catch up when we go."

Qu Jun asked: "Where are we going? How long will this march take?"

The Han army said angrily: "The purpose of the march is a secret, how can you tell me to listen to me at will?"

Song Ran suddenly said: "Do you have a way to contact the front army? I have important things to tell Shizhong Huo."

The Han army asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Song Ran said: "Shizhong Huo suddenly attacked, but he wanted to raid the Zongheng Road? My new news is that the Zongheng Road is weak on the surface, but in fact, people gather in secret and hide in the mountains. Everyone is familiar with practice, and the number is far greater than that of us, and it is never easy to deal with.

We kill two hundred cavalry, and may not be able to gain a advantage.

I hadn't had time to mention this to Shizhong Huo before."

The Han army said proudly: "Don't say they are bandits. Even if they are elite soldiers, they are not opponents of our Han Guards. The number of people is the same."

"You just need to keep up."

"They are not thugs!"

Song Ran said worriedly: "Can you contact the former army and let me tell Shizhong Huo in person?"

The Han army shook their heads and said, "It is necessary to eat a whip when it comes to spreading news and hindering the advancement of the front army."

"If you delay sending messages, aren't you afraid of eating a whip?"

"When the front army rests in the evening, you will go and talk to Shizhong Huo."

Song Ran wanted to say something else, the Han army turned their horses and ignored her, and was in front of them to urge the horses to keep up quickly.

———

The next morning, in Lujiang County, thousands of miles southeast of Chang'an, a bird suddenly flew down in the mountains and fields. There were continuous buildings in the valley between the two mountains.

With one hand, he steadily caught the falling bird.

"There is news from Chang'an. Yesterday afternoon, a group of about 200 elite cavalry came out of the camp in the Chang'an Guards. The direction was southeast, so we would like to be careful there."

Two conversations sounded in the room.

Another voice sneered: "Two hundred elite riders? We act secretly. If the other party wants to find the traces of my crossroads, it will be difficult for them to be so fast. With only two hundred elite riders, what can we do when we come?"

"Be careful, if the other party joins the local garrison, it will be difficult to deal with it.

I will report it to the sect leader that you have spread the vigilance of various departments. If you move quickly, you will be able to reach Lujiang in about three days."

"Um……"

Two days passed in a flash.

Chang'an, at noon that day, the study room on the flank of the front hall.

Liu Che looked at Princess Pingyang sitting upright behind the side mat: "Sister is here, is there something wrong?"

Princess Pingyang shook her head slightly: "Nothing is wrong. I know you have free time at noon, so I come and sit down."

The two were talking, and then they listened to the report from the eunuch Dong Xu. Taichang Zhou Ping and Zhang Xiaoyuan asked for a meeting.

"Supreme him in."

Liu Che glanced at Princess Pingyang.

What did Zhou Ping come to do? He had already greeted him in advance. It is said that he wanted to recommend someone to serve as an official.

Before the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no imperial examination system, and most officials were recommended.

The Imperial Academy, founded in the Han Dynasty, was also to select talents.

In a moment, Taichang Zhou Ping, led by the eunuch Dong Xu, walked in from outside the door, and there was a person behind him, which was Zhang Xiaoyuan.

After Zhou Ping and the others took the tribute and greetings, they came to the next seat opposite Princess Pingyang.

Zhang Xiaoyuan knelt and sat a little behind Zhou Ping's side, and was not qualified to attend alone.

Zhou Ping said: "I have told Your Majesty before that this is Zhang Xiaoyuan..."

"The censor also mentioned to me before, saying that Zhang Xiaoyuan is talented and if he can want me to keep him by his side, he will be appointed.

If there is real talent, it is impossible.”

Liu Che smiled and said, "Qubing always wants to lead troops out. If the person you recommend is available, it will be just right to stay. If Qubing leads troops to fight, it is better to leave someone to replace him."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was in a state of great emotion and full of joy.

Liu Che looked over and said, "What do you do if you want to stay by my side?"

Facing the emperor, Zhang Xiaoyuan was full of awe, lowered his head and looked down, and still felt the momentum coming from the opposite side like mountains and seas. His face couldn't help but turn a little pale, and he forced himself to support himself:

"Please take the exam at will. I learned Confucianism since I was a child and knew a little about military affairs."

"It's just right. Let's take a look at his marching rules and I'll take the opportunity to test your eyesight."

"only!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan's heart was a little nervous. Did Huo Qubing lead his troops out?

At this time, Liu Che took out a scroll from the table on one side.

The painting instantly blew, and it rose up in the air, rolling up the beautiful mountains and rivers, which was the territory map of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this is the legendary map of the country. It is rumored that this map is an ancient immortal weapon, which can see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers?" Zhou Ping said.

Liu Che said regretfully: "It's a pity that this picture has been destroyed. It was damaged when it was obtained from the previous dynasty. It is now less than 100% of the time when it was in its prime. It also needs to be assisted by Yin and Yang Mirrors to see something."

Liu Che stretched out his hand and another bronze mirror appeared in the scroll:

"It is said that Emperor Qin had an ancient treasure-like bone mirror, which was made by imitating the bone mirror."

He spread the entire scroll, and it was indeed severely damaged. The fairy light flowed on the silk scroll, but most of the silk scrolls were left with only a white mist scene, with a breath withering and no specific picture was seen.

Liu Che reached out his hand and grabbed it, and he borrowed a qi from nowhere that the world and the five elements, yin and yang coexisted.

The purple air on the picture is faint, the mountains and rivers suddenly magnify, and they match the halo of the mirror, and a team is reflected.

The team on the scroll was a little blurred at first, but it could be vaguely seen that it was the Han army, which was the cavalry led by Huo Qubing.

The entire team gradually became clear, like a battle gun, with a sharp edge.

And the gun in front of him, on the back of a sky-blue war horse, was the Shizhong Huo Qubing!
