Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, "Forever Happiness Nostalgia at Gubeiting in Jingkou";
"Back in those days, Jin Ge iron horse swallowed Wan Li like a tiger. Yuan Jia Cao Cao, sealing the wolf, wins panic. "
Here, "sealing the wolf to his post" is to give Huo Qubing a code name, which is the pinnacle of Huo Qubing's career and the highest glory that ancient military commanders in China dreamed of!
What is "keeping wolves in seclusion"?
In BC 1 19, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead hundreds of thousands of troops across the desert in two ways to pursue the Huns.
Young Huo Qubing Yingfa went deep into the hinterland of Xiongnu for more than two thousand miles and met Xiongnu Zuo. In a fierce battle, Huo Qubing beheaded more than 70,000 people, and then went north to Xushan, deep in the desert, to chase wolves.
At the foot of this mountain, the strong enemy is far away. Look around and hate Taiwan Province blowing sand.
Huo Qubing ordered people to build mountains out of mud, and then he climbed to the top. The south set up an altar in the Central Plains to worship heaven, and a monument was erected on the mountain to commemorate this place as the territory of the Han family.
Since then, there has been an idiom in China's idiom "seal the wolf to his post", which is the greatest achievement of a general.
After this war, another legend about Huo Qubing was handed down. Huo Qubing made great contributions to Hexi, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to the front to offer condolences. Huo Qubing said to the messenger, "Thank you for your gift. But I didn't fight the Huns alone, and the credit went to all the soldiers. "
So he ordered the royal wine to be carried out of the reward department. But less wine and more people. What should I do? Huo Qubing ordered his men to pour two jars of wine into the mountain spring where the camp was located. The whole valley was filled with the smell of wine, and the soldiers all drank the mountain spring mixed with wine and cheered. This is the origin of Jiuquan.
Whether it is a legend or a historical fact, we will still have a stirring feeling when we read this story after 1000 years. The image of a heroic but charming young general is clearly displayed in front of us.
Go straight into Mobei and destroy Wang Ting.
Four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Wu mobilized 100,000 cavalry, 140,000 war horses and hundreds of thousands of infantry. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each led fifty thousand cavalry and marched into Mobei in two ways. Huo Qubing's policy of pursuing Xiongnu in the north has been thoroughly implemented.
After the first time in the Han Dynasty, after this war, the military power reached its peak and was invincible for a while. At this point, "Xiongnu is far away, and there is no court in the south of the desert." Finally, this powerful nation on horseback, under the attack of the powerful Western Han Dynasty, and under the iron and blood conquest of Huo Qubing and other famous soldiers, led its horse away without peeping at the Yinshan Mountain.
Peak, peak
After the Hexi War, Huo Qubing was raised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and 1,700 households were designated as ancient generals. The young general has only rested for more than a year, and another battle awaits him. This is the famous "Battle of Mobei". In 120 BC, the Huns who moved to Mobei sent tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Beiping and Dingxiang, killing thousands of officials in an attempt to lure the Han army northward and annihilate it.
In the fourth year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched an unprecedented "Battle of Mobei" in order to completely eliminate the main force of Xiongnu. At this moment, Huo Qubing has undoubtedly become the trump card of the Han army. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty trusted Huo Qubing's ability very much. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each took 50,000 cavalry and marched into Mobei in two directions. In order to solve the problem of grain and grass supply, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mobilized more than 40,000 private horses, and more than 100,000 infantry were responsible for transporting grain and grass.
From ancient times to the present, there are different opinions about this battle in Mobei, because there are many stories in it. Anyone who knows a little about history knows it.
Huo Qubing led his troops out of Peiping from the right, gave full play to the cavalry's mobile combat capability, crossed the desert, entered more than 2,000 miles north, climbed Mount Li, crossed the river, and then attacked strategic groups Zuo and Xiongnu, where he fought a thrilling decisive battle with Xiongnu's powerful cavalry group Zuo. "Put all your eggs in one basket" Huo Qubing pursued all the way. After fierce fighting, the Han army won a great victory, cut off more than 70 thousand enemy troops and captured the Huns Tuntou Wang and Wang Han alive. Among them are 83 generals, Guo Xiang, Danghu and Taishi. Left defeated and fled.
This war completely defeated left strategic groups, which was another decisive victory after the simultaneous elimination of left and right wise kings and Wei Qing's defeat of Khan strategic groups. The Han army chased the wolf to Xushan, where Huo Qubing paused and led the army to pay homage to heaven and earth in. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was held in Xushan, while the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth by Zen was held in Guyan. This is a ceremony and a determination.
After sealing the wolf's house, Huo Qubing continued to pursue the Huns with his army, and didn't return to the army until the vast sea. Starting from Chang 'an, I ran all the way to Lake Baikal and won a great victory in an almost completely unfamiliar environment. What a great achievement!
By the way, where is the specific location of wolf nature in Xushan? For many years, people have been looking for this famous historical mountain, but there is no conclusive evidence and authoritative statement.
The battle of Kunming was peaceful for a hundred years.
After this battle, strategic groups and Xiongnu were defeated, unable to fight with the Han Dynasty on a large scale, so there was no Attila court in the south of the desert. Relieved the threat of Huns to the Han Dynasty since the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. From then on to the Song Dynasty, there was almost no war on the border of China.
After this campaign, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed an additional 5,800 generals as a title of generals in ancient times. All the generals who sent troops with Huo Qubing were rewarded. Lu Bode, right Beiping magistrate, is an ancient general. He joined forces with the ancient generals in the city and didn't stand him up. He followed the ancient generals to Lushan Mountain, captured and killed 2,700 Huns, and named 1600 households as Lv Hou. Xingshan, the northern governor, captured Xiao Wang of Xiongnu with the rank of ancient general, and sealed 1,200 households, making Xingshan the Hou of Yiyang. Once upon a time, from Zhao Ponu to Zhao An, a Duke of Long Wuhou followed the ancient generals to fight the Huns, adding 300 households each. Li Gan, a captain, seized the flag and drum, made him a Guan Hou, and gave him two hundred and twenty grains. Captain Xu Ziwei was awarded the title of Chief Justice. In addition, a title of generals in ancient times general Huo Qubing's small officials and foot soldiers also have many rewards. At this point, Huo Qubing's influence in the army is powerful, and he is neck and neck with his uncle. Ancient generals and generals became fu. But also issued a decree that the rank and salary of ancient generals were equal to those of ancient generals.
The first world war, Huo Qubing is outstanding, the pinnacle. The only regret is that I missed Khan because of the wrong information and regretted it for a lifetime. I have seen many hypotheses about the meeting of two strong teams, and some people have asked whether Huo Jun will win if he really meets the Khan Army. This suspicion is unnecessary. With the well-equipped Huo Jun at that time, strong fighting capacity, Huo Qubing's innate keen and handy sense of war, and unparalleled authority and control ability in the military, Huo Jun won without any problems.
A soldier born to defeat the Huns
"Seaweed wind and frost blow dry, muscle withered fine, arrogant. Han soldiers 300 thousand, the general led Huo Yiyao. The white meteor is inserted in the waist, and the sword flowers and autumn lotus are out of the box. Soldiers shine in the snow, jade is passing away, and Lu arrows shoot golden armor like sand. The dragon wind and the tiger roar all return, and the white man enters the enemy moon.
Destructible. thorium
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very sad about Huo Qubing's death. He called the real army, lined up along Chang 'an, and came to Maoling Fire Tomb. He also ordered Huo Qubing's tomb to be built in the shape of Qilian Mountain to show his outstanding achievements in conquering Xiongnu, and named him Duke of Huo Qubing.
After the death of Huo Qubing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never launched a large-scale strategic campaign against Xiongnu. The young general seems to have finished all the battles of Liang Wudi's generation against Huns. Like an actor, he finished his performance on the historical stage and never appeared again. But he will always remain in the eternal memory with a calm, proud and strong young attitude.
"The Huns will not die, and there is nowhere to live!" For more than two thousand years, this has been a famous saying often quoted by patriotic generals in history when expressing their unwavering loyalty to their families and countries. The first person to say this famous saying was Huo Qubing, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing, a military genius who has been defeated in many wars, fought many wars in his short life of 24 years. He made great contributions to the final victory of the Western Han Dynasty over the Huns.
In a sense, he can be said to be the creator of the blitzkrieg. Huns respected him and called him "Canglang". When they were driven out of China, they also spread the name of Huo Qubing to Europe. There are many outstanding military strategists in China, but only two of them were selected from The Nobody in Hu compiled by the British, and Huo Qubing was one of them.
Foreigners' views on China are of course biased. But it also reflects from the side that Huo Qubing's military influence has already gone abroad. The outstanding military strategists in ancient China were basically experts in civil war and helpers in regime change. Huo Qubing seldom devoted his whole life to the survival of the nation and the expansion of its territory.
Loyalty and filial piety, unique style.
Huo Qubing, born as a slave, grew up in the newer frontier, but never indulged in wealth and luxury. He values national security and achievements more than anything else. On one occasion, in order to reward him, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially ordered the construction of a mansion for him. When finished, Emperor Wu asked him if he was satisfied. Who knows Huo Qubing not only ungrateful, but refused with the greatest sincerity.
He said to Emperor Wu: "The Huns will never die, and there is no place to live!" Just nine words, firm and landing, full of loyalty to the country and heroic generosity. Liang Wudi not only listened, but was very moved. These nine shocking words are also engraved in the hearts of soldiers who have defended their country and defended their country in past dynasties. Even today, two thousand years later, it still makes people excited. Huo Qubing also became a symbol of patriotic generals, and was highly respected by people of all ages.
For the attitude of his biological father Huo Zhongru, we also admire the performance of this talented person. Huo Zhongru didn't want to be Huo Qubing's father when he was in the womb, so Wei's children never told him their story. When he made great contributions, he finally knew the cause and effect.
Just like an ancient general of a title of generals in ancient times, he came to Pingyang and knelt down to Huo Zhongru, his father who abandoned him that year. "I didn't know that I was an adult's son before I got sick, and I didn't do my filial piety." Huo Ru was too ashamed to answer, and replied, "I have to trust the general. This talent is not bad." Later, Huo Qubing bought a farmhouse for Huo Zhongru, who didn't become a father all day, and took Huo Guang, the stepmother's son, to Chang 'an to train talents.
Huo Qubing's life, is a high-spirited, high-speed life, but also let China people's blood gush. Although his life is only a short period of 24 years, as his famous saying goes, "The Huns are still alive, and there is no way to get married", this hero who died young will always stand in the history of the Chinese nation.
Thousands of years later, the world still remembers the peerless elegance of the young general Huo Qubing, impressed by his spirit and wisdom, and excited by his ambition of not loving luxury and defending the country.
