Chapter 649 Brother

When Wu Han was in a low position, he was the pavilion chief who had been catching thieves and watching the road. Later, he killed people and fled to Youzhou. He also made a living by selling horses and working as bodyguards for others. The ones he dealt with the most were the knights of the martial arts world, the peddlers and barracks. Wu Han could easily get along with these people.

But it was difficult for him to get along with his colleagues from Geng and Ma, who were from the gentry officials.

Wu Han especially hated the children of officials who came to the army to get gilded and mixed qualifications. The fifth one was important in military merits. If they had experience in the military, they would have more opportunities to be promoted and reused when they became mentors in the future. This type of person often had a strong relationship and had a high opinion of themselves. He did read a lot of articles on military tactics and was very polite when he spoke, but they always avoided the hardships and dangers of the army.

Therefore, Wu Han always didn't like these family members, but he couldn't find any fault with Geng Guang. Geng Guang had a very good family education and a suitable personality for the ranks of the army. He had the ambition to start from the bottom and often took the lead in confronting the barbarians. Although Wu Han and his brother were fighting each other, they were actually convinced by each other and did not have any special preferential treatment for Geng Guang, but at least they were pleasing to the eyes.

For the forward general Meng Ze, Geng Guang was like his right-hand man. Meng Ze even predicted: "Now he is the left prime minister Geng Chun, and the two generals of the chariot and cavalry are called 'Ergent'. In the future, Geng Guang will be appreciated and valued by His Majesty. When ten or twenty years later, our dynasty will probably be 'San Geng'!"

Unexpectedly, just one day later, Geng Guang was seriously injured in the battle.

On the way to the Northern Pass, Meng Ze told Wu Han: "Geng Guang led a battalion to pursue the Youxian King, and broke into the Xiongnu rear team with only 500 cavalrymen. Seeing that there were few people, the Youxian King's army sent thousands of Hu cavalrymen to resist them. Geng Guang rushed away with his thunder cavalry, and even killed an Eagle-Starring Man himself. The Youxian King had to increase his troops and horses and trapped him again. Geng Guang fought with him for a long time until his subordinates and generals arrived one after another. Geng Guang's army had been killed in battle, and he was also injured and fell off his horse..."

The battlefield was right in front of it, and it was a red willow dune. Geng Guang was seriously injured and could not move, so he had to settle it here. At this time, it was dark, and everyone set up a temporary camp here for the wounded soldiers to rest. Geng Guang's subordinates suffered the most serious losses. There were many people who broke their hands and calves, but they either leaned on dead trees or supported each other, gathered around an ancient poplar tree and refused to disperse for a long time.

After Wu Han separated the soldiers around him, he saw Geng Guang leaning against him clearly. He lay motionless on the mat, his face as quiet as before, his helmet had been taken off, but his armor was unable to be removed, and there were knife marks on it. Many armor leaves fell and knocked away during the fight, greatly reducing the defense power of the chest and abdomen. A sharp arrow shot from close range flew into his body from this tricky position and penetrated deeply.

But this is not a fatal injury, it is really fatal. After he fell off his horse, a Huns rushed over and stabbed a thin spear into Geng Guang's body!

"Missing the general."

"General Wu."

The soldiers shouted out the names of the two chief officials one after another. Geng Guang slowly opened his eyes. It was already difficult for him to speak, but the first question was the war.

"General Wu, have you captured the Right Xian King?"

"Have all the people of Hexi saved?"

"Meng the side general, and the Northern Pass... has it been captured?"

Mengze quickly told him: "The people have been rescued, the Northern Pass has been recaptured, and two or three thousand captives have been captured, all of which have been killed north of Juyanze. As for the Right King, he still ran away."

"What a pity, what a pity..." Geng Guang muttered a pity and looked at Wu Han, which made Wu Han feel quite uncomfortable. He seemed to have a feeling that if he really lost Geng Guang, even if he killed so many Hu people, he would actually lose this battle.

Moreover, how could Geng Guang be so perfect? ​​These family members of the world who were in contact with the army should not show fear when they saw blood. They were greedy for life and death? Why is Geng Guang not thinking about himself and his family now? Wu Han was a little surprised.

But Wu Han quickly realized that no matter how outstanding Geng Guang was, he was still a seventeen-year-old boy. He had been holding back before, but at this moment, his face showed an extremely painful expression. He pointed at the broken spear rod on his chest with a trembling hand, spitting blood foam, and said in a very unheroic crying voice: "General Wu, I feel pain and can't hold on."

This is really heart-wrenching. Wu Han understood what Geng Guang meant that his injury was so serious that it could not be cured. Instead of insisting on suffering, it would be better to have a short pain!

This is also a military practice. It should give the unsuccessful robe a pleasure. Meng Ze was trembling with his hands and was about to agree, but Wu Han stopped him.

"I'll come, I'll send Geng Yingzheng in person, he can afford it."

Wu Han squatted in front of Geng Guang on one knee and asked him, "Do you have any last words?"

"Yes." Geng Guang said his last words, but now he remembered himself and his family. Tears slid down his face. After so long, Wu Han had never seen him cry.

"I hope Wu...the general can bring a message to Geng Guang to his brother."

"Just say... A Guang can't do it anymore 'Huo Qubing'."

"But brother, you must become the 'Wei Qing' who defeated the Huns again!"

Geng Guang's eyes were a little dissipated. He raised his head and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to look at the grassland desert that had appeared countless times in his dream. He touched the mount of the Wolf Juxu Mountain with him, or, like when he was a child, he held his elder brother's hand and wanted to follow him forward.

His majestic figure has been ahead, but Geng Guang can no longer keep up!

Wu Han skillfully pushed the dagger into Geng Guang's arms, neatly and handed his soft body to Meng Ze, allowing the latter to hold Geng Guang, howled in grief, and the soldiers were sobbing one after another.

Wu Han turned around and left calmly, but walked to a place where no one was around and raised his head, but saw the sky above the northern border area, full of stars and dazzling.

He looked up for a long time, and after a while, he rubbed his eyes and scolded:

"The stars outside the border are so bright!"

...

Huo Qubing has a famous saying: "Why do you want your family to be before the Huns are destroyed?" It is said that this is the declaration of Emperor Wu of Han when he wanted to give Huo Qubing his home.

But not everyone can do this. Although he also has the ambition to wipe out Hu Chen, General Geng Yan of Wei Cheqi attached great importance to his family. As the eldest son of his family, he was also trying his best to support several younger brothers: the second and third brothers, as mentors, were both hostages and familiar with the fifth reunion. Now they have been released, either becoming county magistrates or as counselors in the army.

But Geng Yan's favorite fourth brother Geng Guang had a stubborn personality. I don't know who said "famous generals originated from the army" and said that the officers were not allowed to do anything to the army. Geng Yan had no choice but to go to Bingzhou to join the army. Geng Yan had no choice but to do anything about him. Anyway, there were many old subordinates and officials there, so he could still help Geng Guang openly and secretly.

But even with this relationship, Geng Guang's performance in Bingzhou was enough to shock Geng Yan. Although Wu Han and Geng Guang went to Hexi, many officials were left behind in the local area. After Geng Yan arrived with 50,000 Central Army, officials in the New Qinzhong praised him many times.

"This child is young and frivolous, and cannot become a great man." Geng Yan said this, but he was very happy.

Just after the army arrived in Xin Qinzhong, Geng Yan also received the latest letter from his home.

"On the beginning of winter, Guang's wife gave birth to a son Geng Gong, and he weighed 16 pounds and 80 pounds."

Hanjin is only equivalent to 256 grams in later generations. This weight is relatively large in newborns and seems to be quite healthy.

After reading the letter, Geng Yan muttered, "Tell me what to do?" But he was very happy for his younger brother. If he could go to war and become a father, it would be considered a happy trip. He just didn't know how the defense battle in Hexi was going on? Wu Han had no problem fighting, but according to his style, the casualties and injuries of the people below were not inferior.

However, Geng Yan soon had to leave his letter to his family and his concerns and longing for his younger brother.

Wu Han was also wondering why the Xiongnu Right Xian King was not active in fighting when he retreated, and Geng Yan happened to tell Wu Han the answer!

Because the main force of the Huns was not in Liangzhou, but in Bingzhou!

...

As a member of the separatist forces in the world, Lu Fang's power is far inferior to Wei, Shu and Wu. Because the half of Bingzhou he occupied is not only vast and sparsely populated, but also becomes increasingly declining under war and the plunder of the Huns. His household registration is not sufficient. The counties under Lu Fang do their own things, and they are in a mess. Since the defeat in the attack on New Qinzhong a few years ago, Hu Han has not had many mobile troops.

But the "Han" has no soldiers, and the "Hu" behind Lu Fang has it!

At the end of October, more than 40,000 cavalry directly belonged to the Shanyu royal court, led by several Xiongnu sect kings, went south in a mighty way, and Lu Fang also gathered 30,000 civilian soldiers and soldiers to follow closely.

In order to motivate the Xiongnu Shanyu to send troops, Lu Fang took all his verbal talk and promised great benefits to the Xiongnu on the basis of the agreement with Gongsun Shu.

Because Lu Fang married the daughter of the Xiongnu Shanyu and regarded himself as a child, he said this: "Father Shanyu, this time the Wei Kingdom was attacked by the Western Qiang, and the Right Xian King also entered Hexi. The main forces of Bingzhou were transferred away, which was a good opportunity to seize it in one fell swoop! You can even kowtow to the south and seize Xiaoguan!"

"My son was originally from Sanshui County, Anding County, but later he was driven away by the fifth reunion. Then he came to join his father Shanyu. My son was in Shuofang, but his heart had never left Anding. In the future, the capital would be settled in Sanshui, and then recovered Guanzhong and then set the capital Chang'an!"

"At that time, these places such as Bingzhou were originally mountains and rivers captured by Maodun Shanyu. Later, the Han people invaded and seized them, and the ancestors and grandsons paid them back. All these lands should be handed over to the father Shanyu!"

Not only did he want to "return" the territory he had opened during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, but Lu Fang also planned to give away all the places suitable for the Hu people to grazle!

"As long as the father Shanyu helps his son enter Chang'an and takes over the north, the son will definitely seize the land of Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou to his father Shanyu!"

These sixteen counties are the Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Shanggu in Youzhou; the Dai counties in Bingzhou, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Xihe, Shuofang, and Beidi, plus the four counties in Hexi in Liangzhou.

"It is also promised to lose 30,000 pieces of silk every year and a million stones of food! The Han and the Huns will never be as good as marriage."

The Huns' Khan called the capital, and the corpse of the corpse said that Gao Ruodu was probably moved by these generous conditions and agreed to make great efforts.

However, just as Lu Fang led the main force of the Huns to the south along the Yellow River, he also heard that the Wei Cheqi General Geng Bozhao had entered Bingzhou, and the battle suddenly became difficult to fight.

But the three armies have already taken place and the people in Bingzhou have been conscripted to the extreme. Lu Fang is very clear that if he admits a favor and turns back, his fragile rule will inevitably collapse!

So Lu Fang could only bite the bullet and boasted to the Xiongnu's left and right generals, as well as the county magistrates of Bingzhou who had ulterior motives:

"Nothing happens, I have a destiny!"

Lu Fang said with a sage: "I remember that back then, I was killed twice by Xinmang but failed to die. I was chopped twice, and only my body was left, and I was still resurrected. This is because I am an orthodox descendant of the Liu family. I was protected by Emperor Gao, Emperor Xiaowu and other emperors of the Han Dynasty. There were twelve emperors in the former Han Dynasty, and I also had twelve lives!"
