Chapter 165: Monan
"He was an illegitimate child, and when he was born, his father had disappeared.
Only his mother was left alone. According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, the child was born without a father, so he was destined to never have a name in his life.
No matter who calls him, all he can call him is three words.
Surnamed Huo.
It's not a very good word, even said, with some taste of insult, but there is no way to do it.
If things didn't change, then this child might only be able to spend his whole life with the three characters surnamed Huo.
Fortunately, there was still a way to name a child at that time, which was given by the emperor.
However, that woman is just a maid in the Marquis of Pingyang, so how could she meet the emperor?
Her name is Wei Shao'er, and she has an older sister named Wei Zifu, who lives in Pingyang Hou's mansion, which happens to be Liu Che's sister, Princess Pingyang's mansion.
In Liu Che's year, Liu Che came to the Marquis of Pingyang, and fell in love with Wei Shaoer's sister, Wei Zifu at a glance. Soon after, Wei Zifu was named queen, and the whole Wei family also flew up to the branches and became Phoenix.
Finally, Wei Shaoer had the opportunity to ask the emperor to give his son a name, so that his son would no longer spend his life humble.
At that time, Liu Che happened to have the flu, and he was not in good spirits. When Wei Shaoer carried his child to Liu Che, the little guy suddenly cried out, which shocked Liu Che all over. cold sweat.
The illness was cured unexpectedly, Liu Che felt that this child might be really destined to be with him, and at the same time, because of the illness, this child had a name of his own.
Huo Qubing.
At that time, no one knew that this name would continue to be praised by literati in the future. He not only represented the highest military exploits of military commanders, but also represented the eternal praise of literati. "
"Let us warmly welcome No.6, Han, Da Sima Hussar General, Champion Hou, Huo Qubing!"
Liu Che: "Huo Qubing! Huo Qubing! Did you see it? Did you see it? You're on the top, you're on the top, you're on the list, you're on the list! Hahahahaha, I sure didn't misread you! Hahahahahaha. "
Liu Che jumped three feet high in his palace, he was happier than Huo Qubing.
It's hard to explain what kind of mentality this is, but from the perspective of future generations, perhaps in Liu Che's view, Huo Qubing is almost his son.After all, he was raised since childhood.
The young Huo Qubing raised his head high at this moment.
"Your Majesty, isn't this just as it should be?"
"Hahahahaha, it should be taken for granted, it should be taken for granted."
Wei Qing at the side couldn't stand it any longer, and lightly patted Huo Qubing on the head.
At this time, Huo Qubing lowered his head, then opened his mouth and laughed.
Although he said so, in fact, he really didn't have much confidence in his heart, but now that the dust has settled, Huo Qubing feels that he is quite satisfied with the No.6 ranking.
Li Shimin: "Although in the historical records, there are some twists and turns about General Huo, but the core is still there. No. 6? It's really quite brilliant."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Sometimes the appearance of some people always gives people a strange feeling, as if they were born to accomplish this task."
Zhu Zhanji: "Genius, what is a real genius, maybe this is it. Throughout the ages, but in terms of talent in war, I'm afraid there are really few people who can match the champion."
Yes, Huo Qubing is a genius, out and out, a real genius.
The first thing to understand is that even though Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Huo Qubing a name, it doesn't mean that Huo Qubing had a good childhood.Even Huo Qubing has the favor of Liu Che.
Because of the Wei family at that time, the entire court was quite dissatisfied with them.
Before Wei Qing was born, everyone thought that the Wei family only relied on the beauty of the women, and Liu Che's queen was not very good in the eyes of everyone.
Therefore, the public opinion above the government and the opposition will certainly not be too kind to them.
At the same time, the Wei family is also cautious, because they know that every time they have a dispute with others, it is a difficult thing for Wei Zifu to do, and it is all trouble for the queen.
Therefore, they just silently endure others' criticism and indifference.
But so what?
Huo Qubing grew up in the palace since he was a child, all of this can only make him stronger.
Others hate him, and he doesn't bother to be with other people.
When others study, he rides horses and shoots arrows. If others do, he doesn't do it. He spends his life alone.
Until he was ten years old.
Wei Qing, who led the army for the first time and won a big victory, let him find his life goal.
Marching to fight, maybe this is what he should do.
So he continued to struggle towards this goal.
All the way to the age of 16, Huo Qubing watched his uncle Wei Qing continue to make meritorious deeds on the Han-Hungarian battlefield, and finally couldn't bear the heat in his heart.
He kept begging Liu Che to let him go to the battlefield.
The Han-Hungarian battlefield at that time could be said to be extremely dangerous, and not everyone was Wei Qing.
Or to be more precise, at that time, except for Wei Qing, almost most of the generals faced the Xiongnu, and it was more or less auspicious.
But Liu Che could see the passion in this young man's heart.
So he went, to his uncle, Wei Qing's command.
This was Huo Qubing's first expedition with the army, and Wei Qing saw that this boy was his nephew after all, so he gave him 800 people.
Perhaps the original intention was to make him more stable, or to do some other actions.
But normal people know that on the Han-Hungarian battlefield, a mere 800 people can't do anything at all.
Rather than saying that these 800 people were used for the expedition, it might be more appropriate to say that these 800 people were used to protect Huo Qubing so as not to let Huo Qubing die.
But no one can think of it.
800 people are enough to create a miracle.
It's like from the very beginning, when Wei Qing led the troops to fight the Huns, no one thought at that time that a servant, a civil servant in the palace, and a foreign relative, leading 1 people to fight the Huns for the first time, would be able to win a big victory.
Huo Qubing, just relying on these 800 people, created a miracle that the whole big man could hardly imagine.
Maybe these 800 people are the elite of the army, or maybe it's because of various strange reasons.
But no matter what the reason was, Huo Qubing had accomplished this.
This is his first battle as a fledgling.
Battle of Monan.
