Chapter 249

~8 min read 1,418 words

Ding! Current Huo Qubing's attributes: Commander-in-Chief 95 (99), Martial Power 102 (105), Intelligence 89, Politics 78.

The current character's attributes have not yet reached their peak; as time increases, if properly cultivated, the peak attributes can still continue to increase.

Huh?

Looking at Huo Qubing's attributes, Su Ye was slightly stunned.

But he quickly reacted.

As Huo Qubing, one of the historical figures whose early death is most regrettable...

At age 18, Huo Qubing was appointed as Piaoyao Colonel, leading eight hundred cavalry deep into the desert, demonstrating outstanding military talent.

In this campaign, he twice achieved top merit in the army, and was thus ennobled as Champion Marquis.

At age 20, Huo Qubing was promoted to General of the Cavalry, commanding the two Hexi campaigns.

He successfully captured the Xiongnu's Heavenly Sacrifice Golden Idol, and directly took Mount Qilian.

He could only stop here.

In these two battles, he killed and persuaded to surrender nearly 100,000 Xiongnu of Hexi, dealing a heavy blow to the Xiongnu.

They pursued the Xiongnu army to Mount Langjuxu and Mount Guyan, where they performed the Heaven and Earth sacrifice ritual.

As for the proper cultivation mentioned later.

If he did not die, these attributes at age 24 certainly would not be his future peak attributes.

At age 22, in the Northern Desert campaign, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing led troops deep into the northern desert, annihilating over 70,000 of the main force of the Xiongnu's Left Wise King.

Moreover, in the Battle of Gaolan Mountain, he attacked the Xiongnu forces by surprise, ultimately beheading over ten thousand.

With his brief life, he composed a most splendid epic.

As his lord, Su Ye also has countless ways to let him continue moving forward.

Overall, Huo Qubing achieved brilliant results in his short military career.

Su Ye firmly believes that the tragedy of Shang Zhongyong will not be repeated on him.

This is also not hard to understand, after all, the story of Shang Zhongyong is not uncommon.

In the long river of history where talent abounds, we have seen too many examples like Shang Zhongyong—though gifted, they ultimately faded into obscurity due to lack of proper guidance and cultivation.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of Han established the Four Commanderies of Hexi in the former Xiongnu territory, linking the interior with the Western Regions, which significantly affected the waxing and waning of power between the Western Han and the Xiongnu.

However, regrettably, Huo Qubing died of illness at age 24.

However, when Su Ye's gaze fell upon the young Champion Marquis Huo Qubing, a mysterious confidence welled up in his heart.

This campaign resulted in 'the Xiongnu fled far away, no royal court in the southern desert,' and Huo Qubing was thus appointed Grand Marshal and General of the Cavalry, sharing military and civil authority with Wei Qing.

Emperor Wu of Han deeply mourned his death, posthumously bestowed the epithet 'Jinghuan', had him buried alongside at Maoling, and built his tomb in the shape of Mount Qilian.

Such a story makes one sigh with regret, deeply feeling the waste of talent and the impermanence of life.

Even if the future Huo Qubing had no external help.

That same year, he also beheaded over two thousand Xiongnu in the Southern Desert campaign, further demonstrating his military talent.

Even Su Ye already has a clear plan and expectation for Huo Qubing's growth and development.

He knows that Huo Qubing is a young commander with great malleability; as long as he is given proper guidance and cultivation, he will surely become a capable military leader.

He can provide Huo Qubing with more practical combat opportunities, allowing him to continually hone and improve his military abilities on the battlefield.

Nowadays, Cangzhou is beset by warfare on all sides, with flames of war flying everywhere.

In Qi Zhou, Li Jing's great army presses the border, its iron cavalry like a dragon, its momentum like a rainbow.

On the Wen Prefecture side of the Great Qian, the Dragon Gate Pass battlefield is filled with smoke, and the shouts of killing shake the heavens.

These battlefields are all excellent stages for Huo Qubing to display his talent and achieve merit.

Su Ye believes that if Huo Qubing is placed in these battlefields, he will surely thrive like a fish in water and display even more astonishing military talent.

Even if it really doesn't work out, Su Ye grits his teeth and could directly send Huo Qubing to Meng Zhang's side, which is not impossible.

Meng Zhang, who now treads the bodies of Great Qian, Yin Yuanxun, and Chou Longteng, is a legendary commander-in-chief treading the path to fame under heaven.

Nowadays, under the Yellow Turban army of Lu Zhou, the commanding generals are as numerous as clouds, with strong troops and sturdy horses.

If Huo Qubing could serve under his command, even for a short time, he would surely benefit greatly.

In short, Huo Qubing's future will not lack the baptism of war.

These wars will be the catalyst for his growth, allowing him to quickly stand out and become a renowned general of his generation.

Even in the future, the military sage Sun Wu and the killing god Bai Qi are not beyond Su Ye's reach.

Su Ye still wouldn't believe it, relying on Huo Qubing's malleability.

Plus the guidance of this group of commander-in-chief bigwigs.

Personally imparting military knowledge such as military strategy and tactics to Huo Qubing, helping him achieve a breakthrough on the theoretical level.

Can Huo Qubing still just stay in place?

"System, use the White Horse Righteous Follower summon card and that era card!"

Looking at Wei Qing and Huo Qubing beside him, Su Ye slightly lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Then he issued a command to the system in his mind.

Nowadays, the Great Qian looks like it's about to collapse.

Keeping the era card, but it can't produce offspring.

Of course we must hurry to use it.

Maybe it could let the Great Qian last a bit longer.

"Ding! Dao Soldiers-White Horse Righteous Follower summon card is in use, host please wait."

"Ding! Congratulations host, you have obtained Dao Soldiers-White Horse Righteous Follower."

Including 3000 Dao Soldiers-White Horse Righteous Follower, commander-in-chief Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun, etc.

He implanted himself as the host, relying on the merchant guild under his command; when organizing the heavy cavalry Iron Floating Pagoda, he deeply felt insufficient cavalry strength, thus when organizing the Iron Floating Pagoda, he recruited Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, ordering them to establish a light cavalry Dao Soldiers unit — the White Horse Righteous Followers — corresponding to the heavy cavalry Dao Soldiers Iron Floating Pagoda.

The current White Horse Righteous Followers are not far from the Cangzhou New Army Main Camp, and are rushing toward the host's side.

As the system prompt sound rang, not far from the new army main camp where Su Ye was located.

A unit of entirely snow-white light cavalry is flying fast toward this side, quickly coming.

Sunlight shone on their snow-white warhorses, reflecting a dazzling silver-white light, as if a group of divine soldiers descending from the heavenly realm, galloping across this vast and boundless land.

Their warhorses are all fine steeds selected from a thousand li.

These horses are entirely snow-white, with sturdy builds and strong limbs, appearing light and swift among the Mercedes.

Their hooves struck the ground, emitting a clear 'qiang qiang qiang' sound; this rhythm, like a war drum, is uplifting, urging people forward.

The knights on horseback wore uniform white armor, with exquisite patterns inlaid on the armor, both displaying their might and not losing delicate beauty.

At the forefront of the troop is a young general draped in a silver-white cloak.

He rides an extraordinarily divine white warhorse, whose mane and long tail flutter in the wind, as if carrying the momentum of wind and thunder.

During the march, the White Horse Righteous Followers displayed astonishing discipline.

Although they were moving at high speed, the entire troop still maintained a neat formation, without the slightest chaos.

Each knight strictly controlled his warhorse, ensuring proper distance from companions, neither causing speed loss from overcrowding nor weakening combat power from being too dispersed.

Along the way, the scenery blurred in the White Horse Righteous Followers' rapid charge, yet their keen eyes could capture every subtle movement.

Whether it was the outline of distant mountains or the swaying of nearby vegetation, none escaped their eyes.
