With Qiao Mu's order, the huge power she had developed in eleven years began to show a strong foundation and quickly operated.

Because the power developed by Qiao Mu is almost in the form of a commercial group, and the only leader of the group is her, therefore, whenever she gives any orders, it is completely in the Yiyantang model, and there is no need to argue or coordinate at all.

So, her order was delivered at once.

The various departments were quickly coordinated.

The people in Huangzhuang who were responsible for controlling and regulating the price of grain in the country began to prepare all kinds of military reserve grain and canned food the day after receiving the news.

At the same time, the rest of the required supplies and military equipment are also being quickly transported to the western border to ensure the logistics of the war in a few months.

The Ordnance Institute is stepping up the manufacture of all kinds of firearms that are conducive to dealing with cavalry, and flintlock guns and flowering cannons are the two firearms that are more suitable at present.

After all, there was no foundation for firearms in the early Western Han Dynasty, and the manufacture of firearms needed to be created from scratch from steel, so it is normal for the pace of innovation to be slow.

This efficiency arbor is already very satisfied.

What's more, the level of this firearm is enough for the time being, after all, she is the only one in the world who has this kind of weapon, even if the quality is a little worse, she can still beat everyone.

In addition to the coordination of these two aspects of preparation.

The rest is mainly for the training of the firearms army and the caravan candidates for the later advancement,The former training needs to find a relatively hidden place to avoid being discovered by others,The latter also needs to find some bold,At the same time, there is some understanding of the Huns,Caravan that can complete the task of sinicization。

But fortunately, Qiao Mu has been prepared for specific matters, so manpower and training are not a difficult thing, and it takes a little time to get it together.

After that, it's time to wait for the New Year.

and Liu Che's moves.

After the New Year, Yuanguang was in the spring of the sixth year.

The Huns suffered heavy losses because of the heavy snow last winter, in order to make up for the losses, they ordered tens of thousands of cavalry to go to the valley and kill and plunder the people, Liu Che was immediately overjoyed, and immediately sent the cavalry general Wei Qing, the cavalry general Gongsun Ao, the light car general Gongsun He, and the cavalry general Li Guang to each lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu.

Liu Che couldn't think of a reason to attack the Huns, and the Huns were sent to the door here, so he had to hurry up and send more troops to the battle.

As for the result, hehe.

Wei Qing went to Longcheng and killed 700 Huns.

Gongsun He got nothing.

Gongsun Ao was defeated and lost 7,000 horsemen.

Li Guang was captured and fled back with a feigned death.

The four-way army, among which Wei Qing, Gongsun He and Li Guang led the army died, not to mention how many died, anyway, there are definitely a lot of them, and there are clear numbers recorded alone, which is 700 to 7,000.

The specific casualties are estimated to be several times higher.

Originally, Wei Qing's killing of 700 Hun cavalry was not a great achievement, but compared with the records of the other three armies, it was a great achievement, an absolute great achievement.

As a result, Wei Qing stubbornly relied on killing 700 Huns and sat in the position of waiting in the pass.

I have to say, there has to be a comparison.

If everyone else kills 7,000, Wei Qing kills 700, it is estimated that it would be good not to be belittled, how can there be a reward for this list of marquises.

……

Weiyang Palace, on the front hall

Liu Che sat on it, praising Wei Qing with a very happy face, and the queen mother on the side was also smiling, praising her son's scene.

The ministers below looked at each other.

But there was no refutation.

Individual thick-faced ones also followed suit.

Only Qiao Mu sat on the upper left and rolled his eyes, and when Liu Che was talking lively, he clapped his hands: "Come on, send the congratulatory gifts to the mourning family."

Your Majesty, Guan Neihou has just ascended to the throne of the marquis.

The mourning family happened to have a gift for him. ”

"Oh, what is the Imperial Grandmother going to give?"

Liu Che was not angry because he was interrupted by Qiao Mu, after all, this was a rare joy since he ascended the throne, and he finally killed some Hun cavalry, how could he be so easy to get angry.

"You can see it later!

Aoi Jie, let people send things up. ”

Qiao Mu said with a meaningful smile.

After speaking, someone walked up with a gold and wood carved box, held the box in front of Wei Qing, and reached out to open the lid of the box.

Immediately, a head appeared in front of Wei Qing's eyes, of course, Wei Qing couldn't be frightened no matter what, he had also killed the enemy in battle.

How can you not be frightened by a human head.

Wei Qing was not frightened, but it didn't mean that the people who came to see it were not frightened.

Several liehous, who were sitting next to Wei Qing and wanted to see what the Empress Dowager had sent in advance, were suddenly frightened, and even one person screamed out, and one of the older ones fainted.

Liu Che sat in a relatively high position, and someone screamed out just now, so his face couldn't help but turn cold at this time, and asked:

"What does the Imperial Grandmother mean by this?

Is it scary or ......"

"The mourning family is a good intention, Your Majesty doesn't hate the Huns a little, and at the same time killing seven hundred Huns is a great achievement, the mourning family This box contains the head of the Hun Shan Yu, I don't know what kind of Hou Your Majesty is willing to give the warriors who killed the Hun Shan Yu, what kind of marquis is given, by the way, in addition to the remnant heads, there are more than 60,000 heads of Hun cavalry outside Chang'an that have not been transported in, so if you calculate it, I am afraid that there will be a lot of liehous!"

Qiao Mu continued to laugh.

After Liu Che sent his troops to the battle, Qiao Mu's firearms battalion followed, and the speed was much faster than Wei Qing's, after all, the soldiers of the firearms battalion did not need to carry grain and grass, but Qiao Mu did not let her firearms battalion attack first, but first let them wait in place, waiting for the men sent in the early stage to send them the map of the location of the Xiongnu Shan and all the tribal settlements.

Wait for Wei Qing and them to return home after the battle.

The firearms battalion generals also received a complete map of the Huns, so they naturally broke through one by one, and slowly advanced forward, the firearms battalion army in front advanced forward, and the rear caravan led the men to gather the herdsmen while building a city for development.

Qiao Mu's so-called Shan Yu and the heads of more than 60,000 cavalry are mainly the Xiongnu near the Hetao Plain, and then the Xiongnu's Shan Yu Wang Court happened to be built there, so it was cleaned up by the firearms battalion.

Therefore, now the Huns are only a few Hun kings who are far away from them are still alive, and as the firearms battalion continues to advance, they will not live long, and sooner or later they will have to submit or die.

As soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, several envoys who had been to the Xiongnu were quite interested in leaning over and taking a look, and then, they were all shocked, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty!

Weichen and others have seen the Hun Shan Yu, and the head in this box is indeed exactly the same as Shan Yu. ”
