1. Hexi campaign. In BC 12 1 year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshipped Huo Qubing as a general in title of generals in ancient times. He led the army to five countries in the western regions in six days, traveled thousands of miles, went deep into the Huns' rear, and was caught off guard, destroying nearly 10 thousand people. In the case of losing contact with his brothers, he led the army to Qilian Mountain alone and killed more than 30 thousand people, which dealt a heavy blow to the Huns. Xiongnu retreated to Mobei area and did not dare to meet the Han army easily. He got through to western countries and laid the foundation for the Silk Road. Huo Qubing became famous in World War I, and his reputation even surpassed that of his uncle Wei Qing. After his triumphant return, he was highly valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Second, the battle of Mobei. In BC 1 19, under the orders of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led troops to attack the Xiongnu army respectively. Huo Qubing marched more than 2,000 miles, and when he met Xiongnu Zuo, Huo Qubing took an active part in the war. Due to proper command, the Left Party was defeated, and * * * wiped out more than 70,000 people and destroyed the effective strength of the Xiongnu, so the Xiongnu had to move to more remote places, thus alleviating the border problem that had plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years. He held a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in the Wolf Residence Xushan, and since then, sealing the Wolf Residence Xushan has become the admiration of military commanders in past dynasties.
Huo Qubing won the title of the three armed forces, often winning more with less. Even in the face of the heavy encirclement of the Xiongnu army, it was still able to break through the encirclement. However, Huo Qubing, like a gift from heaven, died young. That's a real pity.
