    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The huge power she had developed in eleven years began to show its powerful foundation and quickly began to operate.

    Because the power developed by Qiao Mu is similar to a business group, she is the only leader of the group. Therefore, any order she gives is completely in the Yiyantang model, and there is no need for wrangling or coordination at all.

    So, her order was given immediately.

    The departments quickly coordinated.

    The personnel in Huangzhuang who are responsible for controlling the national grain prices began to prepare various military grain reserves and canned food the next day after receiving the news.

    At the same time, the remaining required supplies and military equipment are also being rapidly transported to the western border to ensure logistical support for the war in a few months.

    The Ordnance Institute is stepping up its efforts to produce various firearms that are beneficial to dealing with cavalry. Flintlock muskets and blooming cannons are two of the more suitable firearms at present.

    It has taken ten years to manufacture firearms to this point. It is actually not easy. After all, there was no foundation for firearms in the early Western Han Dynasty. The manufacture of firearms required creation from scratch starting from steel, so it is normal for the innovation speed to be slow.

    Qiao Mu is already very satisfied with this efficiency.

    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 slightly inferior, it can still defeat everyone.

    In addition to the coordination and preparation in these two aspects.

    The rest is mainly about the training of the firearms army and the selection of caravans for later advancement. The former needs to be trained in a relatively hidden place to avoid being discovered by others. The latter also needs to find some who are bold and have some understanding of the Xiongnu.  A caravan that can complete the Chinese mission.

    Fortunately, Qiao Mu had already prepared the specific matters, so manpower and training were not a difficult matter. It took a little time to put them together.

    After that, it¡¯s just waiting for the New Year.

    And Liu Che¡¯s actions.

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

    The Xiongnu suffered heavy losses due to the heavy snowfall last winter. In order to make up for the losses, the Shanyu ordered tens of thousands of cavalry to invade the upper valley and kill and plunder the officials. Liu Che was immediately overjoyed and immediately sent the cavalry general Wei Qing, the cavalry general Gongsun Ao, and the light chariot general Gongsun He.  , the brave cavalry general Li Guang each led ten thousand cavalry to attack the Xiongnu.

    Liu Che could not think of a reason to attack the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu came to his door, so he had to use military symbols to dispatch more troops.

    As for the result, it¡¯s haha.

    Wei Qing went to Longcheng and killed 700 Huns.

    Gongsun He got nothing.

    Gongsun Ao was defeated and lost 7,000 cavalry.

    Li Guang was captured and pretended to be dead to escape.

    Of the four armies, I won¡¯t say how many died in the army led by Wei Qing, Gongsun He and Li Guang. Anyway, the number was definitely quite large. The only clear numerical record was seven hundred to seven thousand.

    The actual number of casualties is estimated to be several times higher.

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

    As a result, Wei Qing simply killed 700 Xiongnu and took the position of Marquis of Guannai.

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

    " If everyone else had killed seven thousand, and Wei Qing had killed seven hundred, it would be better if he would not be reprimanded. How could he be rewarded like this?

    ¡­¡­

    Weiyang Palace, in the front hall

    Liu Che sat on it, praising Wei Qing with great joy. The Queen Mother next to him also had the same smile on his face, admiring his son's performance.

    The ministers below looked at each other.

    But he didn¡¯t refute it.

    Some shameless people also followed suit.

    Only Qiao Mu, who was sitting on the upper left corner, rolled his eyes and clapped his hands when Liu Che said it was exciting: "Come here, bring the Ai family's gift.

    Your Majesty, the Marquis of Guannai has just ascended to the rank of Marquis.

    The Ai family happened to have a gift they wanted to give him.  "

    "Oh, what does the Imperial Grandmother want to give?"

    Liu Che was not angry because Qiao Mu interrupted his rhythm. After all, this was a rare joy since he ascended the throne. He finally killed some Huns cavalry, so how could he be so easily angry.

    ¡°You can take a look later!

    ¡°Kui Jie, ask someone to bring the things up.  "

    Qiao Mu said with a meaningful smile.

    After saying that, someone came up with a gold and wood carved box, held the box in front of Wei Qing, stretched out his hand to open the boxlid.

    Immediately, a human head appeared in front of Wei Qing's eyes. Of course, Wei Qing could not be scared no matter what. After all, he had killed the enemy in battle.

    No matter how you look at it, you won¡¯t be frightened by the head.

    Wei Qing was not frightened, but that did not mean that those who came to watch were not frightened.

    Several lieutenants who were sitting next to Wei Qing and wanted to see in advance what the Empress Dowager would send were immediately frightened. One of them even screamed, and an older one fainted from fright.

    Liu Che was sitting in a relatively high position, and someone had just screamed out, so his face could not help but become cold at this time, and he asked:

    "What does the Imperial Grandmother mean?

    Are you trying to scare people or"

    "The Aijia have good intentions. Your Majesty hates the Huns a little. Killing seven hundred Huns at the same time is a great achievement. The box in the Aijia box contains the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to give it to the warrior who killed the Xiongnu Chanyu.  , what kind of title should I give you? By the way, in addition to these remaining heads, there are more than 60,000 Xiongnu cavalry heads outside Chang'an that have not yet been transported in. If you calculate it like this, I am afraid there will be many more princes!"

    Qiao Mu continued to talk with a smile.

    After Liu Che sent out troops, Qiao Mu's firearms battalion followed him, much faster than Wei Qing and the others. After all, firearms battalion soldiers did not need to carry food and grass. However, Qiao Mu did not let her firearms battalion attack first, and  First let them wait where they are, waiting for the manpower dispatched in the early stage to give them the location of the Xiongnu Chanyu and the map of all tribal settlements.

    Wait for Wei Qing and others to finish the battle and return home.

    The generals of the firearms battalion also received the complete map of the Xiongnu, so they naturally attacked one by one and slowly pushed forward. The firearms battalion troops in the front moved forward, while the caravans in the rear led the men to gather the herders and build the city.

    The heads of the so-called Chanyus and more than 60,000 cavalrymen in Qiaomu are mainly the Xiongnu who are close to the Hetao Plain, and the Xiongnu's Shanyu Royal Court happened to be built there, so they were taken along by the Firearms Battalion and given to the company.  Clean.

    Therefore, now only a few Huns kings who are relatively far away are still alive among the Xiongnu. As the firearms camp continues to advance, they will not survive for long. Sooner or later, they will have to surrender or die.

    As soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, several envoys who had been on mission to the Huns came over to take a look with interest. Then, they were all horrified and quickly reported back: "Your Majesty!

    Wei Chen and others have seen the Xiongnu Chanyu, and the head in this box is indeed exactly the same as the Chanyu.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
