Hou Huo Qubing, the top scholar, traveled thousands of miles into the Xiongnu desert. From the beginning, he was very thoughtful. He used the title of the ancient general's lightning to hit wherever he hit and eat wherever he hit. So deep in the desert, far away from the home front, alone, without supplies, there are more than 10,000 troops, but also in the vast grassland, fighting hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu, finding a needle in a haystack in Wang Ting to destroy it, and its war situation is bound to change slightly and be complicated, but he did it. It is hard to believe that a person can achieve such great achievements, not because of personal prejudice and fantasy.
In fact, the negative evaluation of champion Hou Huo Qubing in history began with Shi Ji Tai Shi Gong written by Sima Qian. There is a bad feeling between Taishi Gong and champion Hou, or Taishi Gong doesn't like Huo Qubing to some extent. For the achievements of the top scholar Hou, Tai Shigong mostly used the spring and autumn brushwork, seemingly unwilling to pass by, but he did not hesitate to emphasize his mistakes with pen and ink.
Sima Qian
He once evaluated champion Hou Huo Qubing in Historical Records:
However, it is more important to do something for China than to save people. When he joined the army, the son of heaven sent an official with a multiplier of ten, and he returned it, abandoning meat and starving the people. Outside the Great Wall, soldiers are short of food, or they can't help themselves, but a title of generals in ancient times still bow their heads across the border. There are many such things.
It means that when Huo Qubing was ordered to go to war, your majesty was more fond of him and worried that he could not get used to rations. He specially selected a group of people from the palace to take care of his diet with dozens of cars, dozens of fish, dozens of refined grains and dozens of wines. However, until the day he came back, the champion Hou had not finished eating, and many soldiers in the army were hungry and unstable. Huo Qubing let the food stink, poured the wine, and didn't want to share it with the soldiers. He is heartless and happy to play cuju with his Qin Bing. How does that sound? Ruthless and cruel. Finally, Tai Shigong added that there are many such things.
That is to say, there are too many similar things for me to say.
The resentment that is difficult to write is vividly on the paper.
From here, we can intuitively know that Tai Shigong is not very interested in the champion Hou. Instead, it pays tribute to Li Guang, a famous contemporary figure.
His evaluation of the champion Hou Hefei is like a lump of mud.
One is expensive, not introspective. People love soldiers as much as children.
Experts have something to say about Tai Shigong suing the champion Hou.
In this regard, some experts said that in fact, Tai Shigong's evaluation of the champion Hou has personal grievances to a certain extent, but personal grievances are also reasonable.
As we all know, Li Guang is the most admired Han general of Tai Shigong, and he made friends with Lee in this worship.
How good is friendship?
In 99 BC, Tai Shigong spared no expense in corruption to intercede for Li Guang's grandson Li Ling on the Huns' defeat and surrender to Hungary.
The disaster of Taishi Gong Li Ling
This shows its deep friendship with the Li family.
And what does this have to do with the champion?
1 19 BC, in the Battle of Mobei, Li Guang lost his way and delayed his fighter plane in the annihilation war when the whole army attacked the Huns.
General Fei could not bear the humiliation of a lifetime reputation and committed suicide.
After General Fei's death, his son always thought that this was the result of General Wei Qing's persecution, so he attacked and killed Wei Qing and Wei Qing at the party where he returned home in triumph.
A dozen doesn't matter, but it makes Huo Qubing angry. Previously, it was widely rumored that your majesty favored the champion Hou day by day, which was the result of the intention of the champion Hou to compete with General Wei Qing. In fact, Huo Qubing has great respect for Wei Qing. Wei Qing is not only his own uncle, but also the first teacher who taught him to March and fight, familiar with the art of war, and also his guide to the army. Huo Qubing has infinite reverence and gratitude for Wei Qing.
Li Gan was working for Huo Qubing at that time. Huo Qubing thinks that this is deliberately blaming his uncle for the death of General Father Fei, but at the same time, he can't see the envy of his official champion and Li Guang, and deliberately alienates this villain who destroys his feelings with his uncle.
So to avenge my uncle's humiliation, to get rid of this villain in his eyes. Huo Qubing is determined to kill. Soon, during a hunting in Ganquan Palace, Li Gan was shot dead by an arrow in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and a group of ministers. Then he said that he thought it was an elk hiding in the grass and accidentally got hurt. All the people present knew what he meant.
Champion Hou: Huo Qubing
It is also this incident that makes Tai Shigong think that Huo Qubing, the top scholar, lacks personal morality. Through this incident, he has absolute reason to believe that he lost food and didn't feed the soldiers. So, this is what I saw in my biography.
In addition, Tai Shigong doesn't like the champion Hou, which is also his protest against the cronyism of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
You know, that is, after Huo Qubing shot Li Gan in front of everyone, even if he didn't kill him, he should at least punish him with a small punishment. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because he liked Huo Qubing so much, announced that Li Gan was accidentally confronted by an elk and died. The absurdity of the wild world.
Tai Shigong also recorded one thing, which proved that the cronyism of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was based on likes and dislikes.
When general Wei Qing came to power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Wei Aqing a large sum of money. Wei Qing listened to his best friend Ning Cheng and gave the gold to the parents of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They were partial to Mrs. Wang. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about it, he began to reuse this opportunistic person.
So, let him have reason to believe that Huo Qubing, the top scholar, played an important role. Everything was just the result of the emperor's favor in Wei Zifu and Wei Qing, and he succeeded alone. Li Guang, a flying general, is a man who can be of great use.
General Fei: Li Guang.
Therefore, for various reasons, Tai Shigong looked down on the top scholar Hou and wrote the opening sentence.
At this point, we don't deny that the personal character of the champion Hou is indeed lacking. We only analyze what Tai Shigong commented at the beginning and restore the military geometry of the champion Hou. What is the truth?
Obviously, from what Tai Shigong said, we can analyze that this is not necessarily what happened in Beijing. It's simple. In the rear area of Beijing, if it weren't for infighting, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wouldn't have let himself expect anything. The hussars who returned home in triumph were the most brave and good at fighting, and they couldn't keep hungry. It should have happened on the way from Huo Qubing to Mobei.
Then it all makes sense. When the champion fights, he always takes the method of eating wherever he hits without supplies. The way to reward the champion is very simple, according to the number of heads. To put it bluntly, the battle is over, and whoever gets the most Xiongnu heads at once will make greater contributions. For skulls, men's skulls are more important than women's, and mature years are more important than old age. Because Zhang Qian told Champion Hou that Huns were soldiers and he was a blitzkrieg, wherever Champion Hou went, no matter men, women, children, chickens and dogs were left behind. This is why people are judged by their heads.
In addition, fighting is that the winning army has no logistics. If you want to eat or drink, you must fight the enemy. How much you catch is yours. Therefore, the army of the champion Hou is like this. The soldiers who rob rice are their own, and they are not allowed to give them to others. Those who don't rob food deserve to starve to death. At the end of the war, as long as you are alive, you will be counted. With such a long-distance attack, the soldiers are expensive and fast. For a while, I don't even know where dozens of cars of grain your majesty gave me. Where can I afford it? !
Huo Qubing made a long-distance raid and beat the Huns.
This can also explain Tai Shigong's negative evaluation of the champion Hou. It can be seen that preconceived personal color evaluation components are mostly. In his opinion, he is not good to his subordinates, has no sympathy for them and wastes food, which is largely his illusion. What's more, this is only a manifestation of the clear reward and punishment of the champion and the strict management of the army.
It's a good intention not to eat, and the rewards and punishments are clear? !
From this point of view, the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded the champion with meat, wine and vegetables is very simple. The champion would rather stink than give it to those soldiers who starved to death.
First, the champion Hou established his own military discipline, food was a prisoner, there were no gifts and condolences on the battlefield, and he could not starve to death.
Second, the food given by the emperor is the affirmation of the emperor's contribution to himself, belonging to himself, and subordinates are not eligible to enjoy it. Rewarding subordinates with what the emperor gave him is not only grandstanding, but also acting for others, which is even more suspected of deceiving the monarch.
Third, what the emperor gave him should be more than enough for him, but I don't think it will be too much, which is nine Niu Yi hairs for tens of thousands of generals in ancient times. It is impossible for me to make such a special cut and sympathize with the weak who have not robbed the grain, but I have nothing to say to those who have made meritorious deeds, that is, the rewards and punishments are reversed, which is a taboo in running the army. And once you want to treat everyone equally, and you don't have enough food, you bite your teeth and don't give it to anyone. So he chose to pour your majesty's wine? Jiuquan? In your own way, share it with all the soldiers, and would rather not eat the meat. It can be seen that the champion Hou is essentially unselfish, thinking about the sufferings of all soldiers.
The champion Hou led the troops to play cuju, which actually inspired and mobilized the soldiers' passion? !
At first glance, it seems cruel that the soldiers are hungry and the champion is still playing cuju with Qin Bing. In fact, if you analyze it carefully, it will be even more nonsense.
The army is suffering. They are starving. There is no reason and no reason to sympathize with them. Do you want them to drag their hunger and play cuju with themselves? !
This kind of entertainment, cuju, is obviously just a military entertainment project in which the champion blends into the grassroots and enjoys the fun with his subordinates. Its significance is not insignificant.
Today, we know very well that football not only excites athletes, but sometimes even excites spectators. Champion Hou is obviously interested in relaxing soldiers' pressure and exercising through cuju, and at the same time invisibly letting those hungry soldiers forget their hunger and quietly mobilizing their passion. It is a leading art mode.
Later, Cao Cao also learned to quench his thirst with plum blossoms. What about the champion? !
Actually, Wei Qing, the uncle of Champion Hou, also asked Champion Hou about it. Champion Hou said? I don't need so much worldly wisdom and fancy to run the army, as long as rewards and punishments are clear. ?
Wei Qing, Huo Qubing.
Obviously, rewards and punishments are clearly the answers of the champion Hou to all criticisms and questions of Tai Shigong and even the outside world.
On the contrary, Li Guang, admired by Tai Shigong, loved his subordinates very much. Like a loving mother, subordinates don't eat or eat, so they dare to eat and are very popular with them. But what's the use? Li Guang is hard to seal, can he bring victory to Li Guang? !
The art of running the army lies in grasping the hunger demand of soldiers, mobilizing their passion through this hunger, and letting them try their best to kill the enemy, capture prisoners, seize food and be self-sufficient.
In other words, you have to push the soldiers to the wall.
Genghis Khan emphasized the siege because he was afraid that the enemy would be forced to attack himself over the wall and fight for a larger foe.
