Establishing a thousand-year family from the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 64: Attack the Camp, Shanyu Uncle (First Order)
In the vast desert, an elite cavalry, armed with sharp weapons and holding the flag of the Han Dynasty, galloped through it, and the neighing of horses was deafening wherever they went.

The leader among them was none other than Wei Qing, the great general of the Han Dynasty. He was obviously wearing armor of a higher grade than the soldiers, and he was accompanied by two determined young men.

"Uncle, we are already more than a hundred miles away from Dingxiang."

Huo Qubing came to Wei Qing and said that he was in a very good mood. He originally thought that he would be at most a General Guarding the North and West, but he did not expect that he would be directly promoted to a high-ranking official like the General of Chariots and Cavalry!
Directly assisting General Wei Qing in handling military affairs, coupled with the title of Champion Marquis, he is like a rising star in the military arena! It can even be said that he is more powerful than Wei Qing back then, which shows how much Liu Che likes him.

Xu Chu, who also killed generals and captured flags but was inferior to Huo Qubing, was also promoted. He jumped from a lieutenant in charge of 500 cavalry to a general to suppress the rebellion! You have to know that this is a position where you can lead troops alone, and they are cavalry. There is no lower position in the official position that controls the military power.

Although Liu Che intended to weaken Xu's military power, it did not mean that he would no longer use it. Apart from Xu's son, there was no one else in the court who could be 100% trusted and entrusted with important tasks.

Officials like Zhang Tang, who were not that capable but very loyal, were appointed to the position of one of the Three Dukes, where they stayed for several years and were also granted the title of Marquis.

Wei Qing looked ahead, thinking: "Order the army to slow down. According to the report from the front scouts, the Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang's troops are grazing here. We must catch them off guard and eat all of them!"

"Uncle, can I lead a few hundred cavalrymen as a vanguard to test the situation first? I've been itching to do it for a long time." Huo Qubing was eager to try. In fact, he didn't want to be a general of chariots and cavalry, but a vanguard! How can it be as exciting to charge into battle on the front line as to coordinate the overall situation in the rear.

It just so happens that Xu Chu is not convinced, so he must show us what the gap is!

"How many times have I told you? In the army you should address me as the general! Not uncle. You are not my nephew, but my soldier!"

Wei Qing glanced at Huo Qubing with some displeasure. "Can't you have some ambition?" He was a dignified General of Chariots and Cavalry, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, but what was the meaning of doing the work of a lieutenant general?
He is now somewhat disappointed with his own personal bravery. Only by coordinating a large army can he make great contributions and be valued!
"Hehe, I'm used to calling you uncle... General, can I be the vanguard of the army?" Huo Qubing smiled and continued with hope in his eyes.

He really likes to lead his troops into battle personally. It's not that he is brave but not wise, but he is better at using surprise troops and is not very proficient in the strategy of standing firm and fighting steadily.

Only Han Xin could perform this kind of fighting style. It was already very difficult to maintain military discipline in an army of hundreds of thousands.

"Well, Qubing, you lead 800 elite soldiers to go ahead and test the situation. Remember, don't fight too long. Once you have a general understanding of the situation, retreat immediately."

Wei Qing also thought of this aspect of the problem. Not everyone is good at his style of fighting. The Prime Minister once said that Huo Qubing is good at cavalry battles! He will give you a surprise.

"Thank you, uncle!" Huo Qubing was very happy. He called Xu Chu beside him and immediately led his troops to fight.

"It's the general...Alas, this kid." Wei Qing smiled and watched the other party leave. No wonder His Majesty and the Prime Minister admired him so much. He was truly a young hero and a born noble.

Huo Qubing carefully selected eight hundred elite cavalrymen, appointed Xu Chu as his deputy, and quickly advanced according to the map sent by the scouts.

Time waits for no one, he does not intend to go back empty-handed, he must chop off a few enemy generals' heads to cheer for his uncle!

"Hey, Huo Qubing, how do you want to fight? Are you really going to do as the general said and test the enemy's strength and then go back? That would be too boring." Xu Chu complained a few words beside him.

"Hehe, how is that possible? This time I want to show the power of my Han army and make the enemy terrified." Huo Qubing certainly had the same idea, and the two hit it off.

Hundreds of light cavalrymen were galloping rapidly across the grassland, and soon they saw groups of cattle and sheep, which seemed to be grazing.

Huo Qubing ordered the army to retreat and continue approaching. As expected, they found the Huns' camp, and the flag flying on it belonged to the Left Wise King. "Last time, we killed the Right Wise King, and today they sent another one. That's good, let's make a pair!" Huo Qubing raised his mouth and put his hand on the ring-handled sword at his waist. However, he did not plan to attack directly. It would be best to wait until night to act.

As the night deepened, the Huns drove their livestock back, leaving them almost defenseless.

"Right now, shall we go up?" Xu Chu had already prepared the army.

"Of course, if not now, when?"

Huo Qubing was even more vigorous. He drew out his ring-handled sword, blew a unique horn and issued an order to attack.

Suddenly, eight hundred elite cavalrymen sharpened their swords and rushed into the enemy camp. Because they were silenced, no sound was made. After the Han army eliminated the defenders, they rushed into the main camp and began a massacre.

"It's the Han army!" The garrisoned Huns finally discovered what was happening and began to organize troops to stop them.

This group of Han people are really too arrogant. They dare to come to my camp with such a small number of people. If I don’t get rid of them, where will I put my face?
This was the inner voice of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King. He was very angry and walked out with a knife in his hand.

However, because the Han army was small in number and highly mobile, and they fought and ran away, the Huns were unable to do anything to them for a while. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the lack of professional military training, they were unable to quickly organize an encirclement.

Huo Qubing led such a small group of people to gallop around the enemy's base camp, killing anyone they saw, and never fighting to the end. They would run away after the battle regardless of whether they would live or die.

The Huns finally understood how difficult it was to deal with elite cavalry.

"Qubing, how about it? Do you want to make a bigger one?" Xu Chu pointed to the tent in front of him that was made of exquisite materials. He estimated that even if he was not the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu, his identity should be extremely prominent.

"Why not? Let's go." Huo Qubing was at an age when he was full of courage. He waved his hand and led the others to rush over.
Boom boom boom!
The heavy sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, making the Xiongnu officials feel extremely frightened.

I didn't expect the Han army to come here. This is the central army! Are you trying to kill yourself?
"Kill! Tie up all the people inside. If they don't obey, kill them on the spot!"

Huo Qubing rode his tall horse and trampled the tent flat. It turned out that all the people inside were high-ranking Hun officials, even a figure of the prime minister's rank.

"Han people, don't be too arrogant! If you kill me, my nephew will not let you go!" The middle-aged man in the middle, who looked very vicissitudes of life, was not willing to be outdone.

"Are you Luo Gubi?" Xu Chu, who had seen the portrait, recognized her at the first sight.

"Who is this?" Huo Qubing didn't recognize him.

"We are lucky now. This is the uncle of the new Xiongnu Khan, Yizhixie." Xu Chu was very happy. It was a good start. He captured a relative of the Xiongnu Khan for the first time.

　There should be four updates today, and two more in the evening
