"Huo Qubing actually became the Grand Sima General of the Cavalry, and he is on the same level as you, the Grand Sima General."

In Wei Qing's mansion, Princess Pingyang was holding a grudge for him. "This is really the case. In order to balance the strength in the army, he has promoted him so high, but where did you place him?"

Princess Pingyang's words were not wrong. You should know that Huo Qubing is Wei Qing's nephew. Now his status as a nephew is the same as that of an uncle.

My uncle, who has a high seniority and has joined the company earlier, now has the same status as his nephew. In the eyes of the world, Wei Qing is naturally going to be better off.

"You're over-concerned."

Wei Qing, who was drinking, simply shook his head, "Your Majesty is not such a person, and I know I won't care about these things."

No one can say that Huo Qubing's contributions should not be rewarded, and there is no need to mention his outstanding military achievements. More importantly, Huo Qubing seized the Jin people who sacrificed the sky by the Huns. In the eyes of the world, this is a sect sacrifice of the Huns. From the perspective of the Zhou rituals, this is undoubtedly the destruction of the country.

Princess Pingyang was a little anxious, "Now there are fewer and fewer people coming to place you, but Huo Qubing is in a row. Those people think that the emperor will spoil him more, if this continues for a long time."

"So what."

Wei Qing put down his wine glass, "I, Wei Qing, aren't that kind of person who fights for power and profit? Those who are competing for power and power will be better if they don't come."

Princess Pingyang was very depressed, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

The relationship between this family is actually very complicated. With Wang Xiao as the center, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are relatives. Then Princess Pingyang is her sister again, and then married Wei Qing again.

It is said that it is a relative who is more kinship, but the relationship is too confusing. Everyone is a relative. If they really fight in front of each other, they will not be able to fight, and it will only make outsiders laugh.

However, Huo Qubing's rapid rise greatly affected Wei Qing's power.

Even if Wei Qing doesn't care, Princess Pingyang and the people who are dependent on Wei Qing's side must care.

It’s a pity that their elder David Qing has such a peaceful personality and no one can change it.

Compared with Xiaozhu's large-scale battle in history, Wang Xiao's preparations were more thorough, his plans were more detailed, and his arrangements were more appropriate.

He first used reverse marriage to stabilize the Huns for a long time.

Later, we used this period to farm, update farm tools, promote excellent agricultural and animal husbandry crops, use more efficient iron farm tools, provide a large number of large animals, and other methods, which greatly enhanced the strength of the great man.

The most important point among them is the grain output of the Han Dynasty.

There is no distinction between high-quality fields, medium-quality fields, and low-quality fields. If you just use the average D method, the grain yield per mu during the Warring States Period was about 80 kilograms, and in the early Western Han Dynasty it was ninety kilograms, which looked almost 115 kilograms before Wang Xiao took office.

But with the large-scale improvement of agricultural technology, the yield per mu of grain has now been increased to 150 kilograms.

It seems that acre of land has only increased by more than 30 kilograms, but the number of land in the Han Dynasty is in units of tens of millions.

The huge base brings a larger increase in grain output.

With too much food, it has an incomparable powerful effect on alleviating social pressure.

Later, Wang Xiao expanded the elite Yulin Army and Hu Ben Army, promoted outstanding generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and eliminated Wei Man and North Korea and Mitsukoshi in advance, eliminating their worries.

Also, the weapons and equipment of the Han army were updated, especially the new armor, which allowed the Han army to occupy an unprecedented advantage when the Huns herders fought.

As for the internal situation of the Huns through trade and smuggling, we need to know in detail the internal situation of the Huns, and record the customs and customs along the roads along the way.

Wang Xiao made so much preparations in advance, but the result was that after the war with the Huns, he almost reached the level of dimensional reduction strikes from both strategic and tactical levels.

To put it bluntly, the Huns were just a grassland robber alliance, and their nobles couldn't even read a big word.

From the beginning of the war in Mayi to the present, they have been completely suppressed and beaten by the great men.

And this oppressive advantage is all-round.

After consolidating the Henan and Hexi corridors, Wang Xiao's eyes inevitably focused on completely defeating the Huns.

And this time the war started was the famous Decisive Battle in Mobei.

In the decisive battle in Mobei in history, the Han army returned with great victory. However, the price paid was extremely high.

Not only were the casualties of the soldiers, but more importantly, Xiaozhu organized an army of hundreds of thousands of thousands of expeditions to the cold northern land thousands of miles away.

In order to provide logistical support to this army, more than one million civilians were mobilized.

In order to support this army to fight thousands of miles, in this era of low productivity, Xiaozhu almost acted as a pants.

He issued an edict to implement currency reform, and also ordered "first calculation of money", and implemented salt and iron monopoly, in order to raise a large amount of material and financial resources needed for the war.

That's not enough. The pig had to make a shocking white deer coin at the cost of the emperor's reputation.

The wealth obtained by plundering the world was eventually consumed with victory.

Wang Xiao was much more frugal than Xiaozhu, at least he did not spend a lot of money to build various palaces.

Moreover, he never thought that when he went to the north of Mo, he sent out an army of hundreds of thousands and more than one million civilians to exhaust the world's wealth.

Hundreds of thousands of infantry did not achieve any decent results. For example, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and others were habitually lost, and they did not have any use except for consuming food and money. On the contrary, because the marching speed was too slow, it dragged down the mobility of the Han cavalry.

Therefore, Wang Xiao's choice was to take Wei Qing and Huo Qubing as commanders, and lead a powerful cavalry group to attack from Shuofang County and Dai County.

Both legions are cavalry, with the Yulin Cavalry and the Hub Clan as the core.

At the same time, there is no logistics man's supplies. Except for the food and food brought by the pack horse, all other things are dependent on eating on the ground.

"Why are the grass on the prairie all weeds?"

Leaving the side wall, Li Shan, a good son from a village in Guanzhong, began to complain, "Well, I thought the grass was green."

Wang Xiao, beside him, raised his hand and stroked his fake beard. "Young man, you are still young and have little knowledge. If you have more knowledge in the future, you won't be so fussy."

This time, Wang Xiao no longer sat on the flying sword and watched the fun in the sky.

After the army set out, he arranged for himself to go to seclusion and practice again, and no one saw him. Then he entered Huo Qubing's army as a new army soldier.

In order to avoid being recognized by people who have seen me, I also took out makeup techniques, one of the four major evil tricks in Asia, and put a beard on myself.

"Uncle, are we going to Mobei? There should be big green grass there."

Facing Li Shan's inquiry, Wang Xiao turned dark, "Don't scream, I'm in my prime. Mobei Mobei, do you know what this Mobei Mobei means?"

Several nearby cavalrymen who were rushing to the scene were curious.

Because two legions were dispatched this time, a total of 100,000 cavalrymen were dispatched. Even if the cavalry in the country were wiped out, there was not so many people.

Therefore, a large number of new recruits who had served as cavalry, or even could ride horses were recruited.

After several months of training, they were barely considered a qualified cavalry, but they had never come to the vast grassland.

At this time, when Wang Xiao introduced the grassland, everyone expressed their concern.

"This desert refers to the great desert."

“What is the desert?”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before he realized.

His ability to transmit information in this era was extremely low, but he didn't expect it to be so low. These Guanzhong men didn't even know the desert.

Even if modern people have never been to the desert, they will obtain relevant information and impressions through various information carriers.

But people in this era usually have no more than three hundred miles of their living place in their lifetime. It is too difficult to understand the outside world.

"Dragon, do you know the sand?"

"Well, there is one by the river."

"It's almost the same. The so-called desert is the countless sands on the river gathered together, forming a large desert sea that is as huge as the sea."

“What is the sea?”

Wang Xiao’(˙灬˙)’

"Don't talk, you can go and see it yourself when it's here!"

Wang Xiao felt tired and really didn't have the energy to give these young men a popular science.

Anyway, I'll just go and see it myself.

Wang Xiao said that it was a big desert, but it was not completely correct in fact.

Because it is a huge desert and Gobi Desert with an area of ​​up to 1.3 million square kilometers.

The area here is huge, and the real desert land is not large. Most of the places are deserted Gobi Deserts.

The name of this large area is Hanhai.

Before entering the Hanhai, Huo Qubing's army conducted a large-scale supply.

After destroying several nearby small tribes, they swept all the cattle, sheep and horses there, and then they were cleaned and had a full meal by the river, and the remaining meat was made into jerky meat.

Before departure, each Han cavalry was divided into four large leather kettles, as big as a pot.

Fill these kettles with boiled and cooled water, hung them on the back of a pack horse and started to set out into the vast sea.

The Huns did not engage in a blocking battle in the south of the desert, but chose to retreat their main force to the north of the desert. They wanted to drag down the Han army by lengthening the supply line.

After Yi Zhixie defeated his nephew and became the Xiongnu Shanyu, he began to carefully consider how to fight the Han army.

The solution he came up with was to drag down the supply line of the Han army by exchanging space.

Because in his impression, the main force of the Han army was still those infantry who were slow to act and needed massive logistics supplies to fight.

How much combat effectiveness can these Han troops, which may be as many as hundreds of thousands, have after walking through the south of the desert and crossing the vast vast sea to reach the north of the desert?

Yi Zhi wanted to defeat the Han army by waiting for work, but he didn't even think that the Han army was not only all cavalry, but also prepared for how to pass through the vast sea.

As for this preparation, it is naturally the Huns who even had the internal affairs of the Huns.
