After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the imperial court and the military hawk faction gained the upper hand for the first time, but the anti-war faction never gave in. Instead, it fought back fiercely. Emperor Wu hesitated, and the fall of Ma Yi showed this hesitation. He hoped that the Xiongnu issue would be resolutely solved in World War I, and the luck of Emperor Wu was fully revealed. Until the third year of the war, Emperor Wu was still hesitating.
129 years ago, four imperial generals led troops to attack the Huns in the border trade market, and war broke out. Wei Qing and Wan Qi quickly attacked the Xiongnu Dragon Palace (the place where Huns sacrificed their ancestors), killed 600 Huns and returned them!
Previously 129, 128, 127, 124, 123, 122, 12 1 650. Before 129, 128, 127, the two sides did not invest much, the battlefield was confined to the area near the Great Wall, and the Han army was not far from the Great Wall. This also reflects the policy of limited counterattack of the Han army. In the first three battles, the Western Han Dynasty captured the Ordos region from the Huns and ceded Yang Yang region to the Huns to adjust the northern defense areas. The Han empire fought back, but during the period from 126 to 124, the border guards in the east, south and southwest of the empire arrived in the northern frontier one after another, and the scale and cruelty of the war far exceeded the expectations and estimates of Xiongnu, Han people and even Emperor Wu himself. It can be said that both sides are going crazy!
In 90 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inspected the northern front, the Fourth Route Army of the Western Han Dynasty left the Great Wall, and the stable boy Army of the West Route Army crossed the Tianshan Mountains and reached the Junggar grassland. After the soldiers of the West Fourth County of Hanshui occupied the Wheels Division (now Turpan) to protect the horse side, the horse had 40,000 cavalry. Seeing that the horse was strong, the Xiongnu right army gave up the attack and left. At the same time, the Hanzhong Road Army did not clash with the Xiongnu Army, but was attacked by the Xiongnu Army in Liling on the way back (Liling was a famous soldier in the Western Han Dynasty and had surrendered to the Xiongnu at that time). The Middle Route Army in the Western Han Dynasty knew the consequences of defeat in the Central Plains grassland, so an old man never backed down! The Xiongnu army left.
The main force of the Western Han Dynasty, 70,000 cavalry, pursued the Xiongnu army of Wei Lv (a Hun who grew up in Han Dynasty) under the leadership of coach Li Guangli. The Han army crossed Lady Fan City to Segeleng River, and some Han troops (20,000 cavalry) crossed the river to fight with Xiongnu Zuo Jun, and the Xiongnu army left. At this time, Li Guangli felt abnormal and immediately went south with the army. At the eastern foot of Ai Mountain in Hangzhou today, the ninth generation Xiongnu Khan stopped the road with 50,000 tarquin, Li Guangli surrendered, and the Han army fell.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the imperial edict to the people of the whole country, but at the same time he was suspected of shirking the responsibility of war failure. In the same year, Hulugu shouted "Hu Zhe, favored by heaven" victory declaration. Forty years of large-scale war is finally over.
If you don't know how to stop, it will be dangerous. Cars without brakes are dangerous. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed from a fighter to a conqueror. If he confined the war to defensive counter-attacks, it would be difficult for the Huns to win the 40-year war, and it might last until the first division of the Huns.
In 65438 BC+065438 BC+09 BC, the Western Han Dynasty mobilized all parts of the country to transport grain to the northern border. In the same year, the imperial army left the Great Wall and entered the grassland. After * * * with a total force of 65,438+millions of cavalry and hundreds of thousands of infantry entered the grassland, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing shared their forces in the middle and agreed to meet in northern Mongolia to find the main force of Khan. Wei Qing led the troops across the desert, and Xiongnu Khan led the main force to wait for the arrival of the Western Han army. The Western Han army immediately built a camp surrounded by chariots, and Wei Qing sent five thousand cavalry to challenge. Khan sent 10000 cavalry to fight, and the troops of both sides went into battle one after another. At this time, a sandstorm suddenly occurred, and the soldiers of both sides could not see clearly face to face, and the battlefield was in chaos. Wei Qing took this opportunity to send a reserve team, extending outward from the left and right wings, with the intention of surrounding Khan's army. Khan saw that the Han army was endless, so he broke away with hundreds of strong riders. The Qing cavalry of the Han army chased Khan crazily, and Wei Qing led the army. Then Khan ran away. The death toll of Xiongnu and Han people is about 20 thousand.
124-123 ago, the empire launched the battle of Mona. The combat troops are 100,000 cavalry of six generals in Wei Qing, and the combat scope is in the south of the plateau. /kloc-before 0/24, the Han army left the Great Wall and marched 600 miles to attack the Xiongnu right court in Wang Xian. You thought that the Han army could not fight far beyond the Great Wall, and the Huns were defeated at night. The Han army killed the Huns15,000 people and won an unprecedented victory. The imperial court awarded Wei soldiers 65,438+10,000 Jin of gold, and Wei Qing's third son and sixth son were sealed at the same time. The envoys of the Han Dynasty worshipped Wei Qing as the commander-in-chief of the Han army on the battlefield. 123 ago, Wei Qing went out of the Great Wall with six generals and 100,000 cavalry, seeking to fight the Xiongnu main force and clear it.
122 years ago, the empire launched the Hexi Campaign, with Huo Qubing as its main fighting force. Huo Qubing took tens of thousands of elite cavalry out of the Great Wall twice, crossed the Yellow River to the west, and swept the Hexi Corridor back and forth until the Qilian Mountains, killing 40,000 Huns. In the same year, 40,000 Xiongnu tribes in the north of Hexi surrendered to the empire, and the Xiongnu withdrew from the Hexi Corridor.
19 1 years ago, the empire launched the Mobei campaign, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing crossed the desert with hundreds of thousands of cavalry and hundreds of thousands of infantry to attack the Khan army in the northern grassland. In the right-wing campaign, Wei and Khan's army fought in a sandstorm, and both sides lost 19000 people. In the Left Campaign, Huo Qubing fought the Xiongnu Left and killed 70,000 Xiongnu people.
The above is 10 the war between the former empire and the alliance.
