With the historical process of Emperor Wudi's succession, the national strength of the Han Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and Emperor Wudi was determined not to stay away from the Huns. During the 43 years of Liu Che's reign of 54 years, he fought against the Huns, and the gears of history fit so well. When the Han dynasty no longer submitted to the Huns, an eternal hero who could lead the Han army across the desert and kill them with one knife came into being at once.
He was born extraordinary, and his fate must be different from ordinary people. Huo Qubing's short life of 24 years has not only become an indelible eternal glory in the Hanwu period, but also an amazing young hero during the Millennium history. He used his short life to create the highest glory among the Han generals, and influenced the literati to write the most magnificent poems. His sighing life, like a magnificent picture scroll, drifted from here.
In 123 BC, 17-year-old Huo Qubing was personally appointed as a captain of Yao by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and twice followed his uncle Wei Qing to fight against Xiongnu in the south of the desert. At that time, Huo Qubing, who was not in a weak position, was only regarded as going to experience with his uncle Wei Qing, and the Han emperor also held this position.
But everything is different. As soon as Huo Qubing entered the desert, he felt like a duck to water, which showed his natural general intelligence. Without experience, he invited soldiers many times, and he was personally leading 800 soldiers to find the Xiongnu camp in the desert. He fought bravely in the vast sand sea, accurately found the Xiongnu in the deserted desert south, and went deep into the Xiongnu camp for hundreds of miles, causing the Xiongnu to be caught off guard, such as ants in the pot. In this way, 2,028 Huns were killed in one fell swoop, including the grandfather and uncle of Hun Khan. It dealt a heavy blow to the Huns' right wise king and Khan's main force, and made the Huns initially withdraw from the desert south and retreat to the bitter desert north.
"Historical Records Biography of General Wei Biao Riding" wrote:
"I 18 years old, the general's sister Huo Qubing 18 years old. Fortunately, I am a servant of the son of heaven, and I am good at riding and shooting. Then I was entrusted by the general and a strong man to be a captain of Yao. I rode 800 troops and abandoned the army for hundreds of miles. I went to Li with the courage of light riding and caught the first one. "
When he put on his shirt for the first time, the young Huo Qubing bravely tried to sing for the first time, which made the Huns in the desert sit up and take notice. As a result, a new star, Ran Ran, rose in this land.
But at this time, the Huns didn't know that in the next ten years, this hot-blooded general would change the situation on both sides in an instant and violently tear up his defense lines and camps. Huns are no longer arrogant.
The Western Han Dynasty, thousands of miles away, was shocked to receive the good news. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had long admired Huo Qubing, like most courtiers, he thought that Huo Qubing was just a wet behind the ears and needed experience to succeed. But what Huo Qubing did surprised everyone. As soon as he stepped on the horse, the blood knife stood upright, which made the desert yellow sand surge under his feet and rolled up the enthusiasm of the Han army soldiers.
From then on, Huo Qubing was no longer a famous servant of the emperor in Beijing. What people think is a brand-new him above the desert-a young iron-blooded general, more of a bloody man with bloodshot eyes and a sword pointing at the Xiongnu.
Almost from this moment on, he has been regarded as a natural person who fought against the Huns and a talented person who fell from the sky. In heaven and earth, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty plated Huo Qubing with a layer of golden armor, which was worse than his uncle Wei Qing. So he won the title of the whole army twice, was sealed in World War I, and won the championship with 1,600 households.
This is 17 years old. He is a handsome young man, wearing fresh clothes and riding an angry horse. It is also the champion who mediates thousands of troops. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked him more and more. Liu Che had no doubt that this young man was the best fighter in the world, so he tried to make Huo Qubing improve himself.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the teenagers around him. In order to help him improve his command ability, he was told to familiarize himself with the ancient art of war, but Huo Qubing calmly replied:
"I don't want to learn the ancient art of war."
The most important thing for soldiers to fight is to improvise. Sticking to the ancient law can only reduce the combat capability of the army. The so-called "all is fair in war" is the consciousness that a good army should have.
Ma Ben screamed for a long time, and the knife crossed Hexi in BC 12 1 year. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed 19-year-old Huo Qubing as a title of generals in ancient times to go to Mobei again. This time, Huo Qubing was in charge of Hexi. He led ten thousand Han troops through Longxi, crossed the Yanqi Mountains and killed several Xiongnu chiefs. Later, in the summer, he fought against the evil king in Hexi Corridor and Huangshui Valley.
Huo Qubing was also left such a comment by historians because of his brave World War I:
"The host generals' military forces are not as good as an ancient title of generals in ancient times. The title of ancient generals is always out of reach, but they dare to go deep. Chang Yizhuang rode in front of his army, and the army had its own nature and never fell into it. "
This passage sums up why Huo Qubing always wins. First, he is a good soldier; Secondly, Huo Qiyao dares to make a deep breakthrough; Third, we should make good use of the good weather, geographical location and human harmony, but whatever the reason, the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, which is a great shame for the Xiongnu. The Huns were furious and wanted to punish the evil king of Xiongnu and the king of Xiutu, which also aroused the rebellion of the evil king of Xiongnu and the king of Xiutu.
Therefore, while expressing their loyalty to Huns Khan, they also extended an olive branch to the Han court. They often sent their people to contact the Han Dynasty to surrender.
The Han dynasty received the willingness of the Xiongnu kings to surrender, but they did not fully believe it, fearing that they would fake surrender and threaten the stability of the frontier. At this time, Huo Qubing also played a great role. With one person's courage, he accepted the Xiongnu and settled the Han family.
In the summer of the second year of founding ceremony in the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Huo Qubing to surrender to the two Xiongnu kings. The desert was south, and the wind was rustling. Huo Qubing rode the dust to the Xiongnu camp, followed by bloody Fang Dynasty soldiers. With the pride of the victors and the vigilance of the soldiers, they only want to usher in a grand surrender.
They strode across the Dadu River, their hooves splashed with mud and stopped by the river. From a distance, several eagles hovered over the army of the evil king of Xiongnu and Hugh Tu, and Huo Qubing and his men were not afraid. Is almost instantaneous, Huo Qubing is ready to deploy, led a team of Qin Bing rushed into the huns camp. He fought a decisive battle, joined hands with the evil king of Xiongnu, killed 8,000 rebel soldiers who didn't want to surrender, and sent troops to "welcome" the evil king of Xiongnu to Chang 'an personally to meet Hanwang, personally leading the defected Xiongnu soldiers to cross the Yellow River and enter the Han Dynasty.
In this way, Huo Qubing almost didn't cost a single soldier, stabilized the war situation in Hexi, and started a new journey of unifying the territory of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. From then on, the Han Dynasty controlled Hexi region, laying an impeccable foundation for opening up the road to the western regions. Huns are more and more afraid of Huo Qubing, and Huo Qubing stands proudly in the world like a desert, gouging out his heart like a cool sword.
After the war, a sad song began to spread in Xiongnu area:
"I lost Qilian Mountain, which made my six animals uninterested; Losing my mountain makes my wife colorless. "
After this war, Huo Qubing was regarded as the "military soul" of the Han army throughout the Han Dynasty. Thousands of soldiers in the Han Dynasty were under the command of Huo Qubing, as if they were protected by gods.
Seal the wolf in Xushan and become the "immortal god of war". Huo Qubing has established a reputation among the four seas within Kyushu through previous battles. Although the Huns were chilling, they still refused to give up the desert and let it all belong to the Han Dynasty. They tried to move all the teeth and main forces of Xiongnu Khan to the north of the desert and continue to fight the Han army by taking advantage of Mobei's favorable weather and place. At this time, they are still lucky in their hearts, and want to take advantage of the unfamiliarity and backwardness of the Han army to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop.
But they ignored Huo Qubing's fighting talent. It was in 1 19 BC that Huo Qubing sealed the victory for the Han Dynasty. In the spring of this year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched an unprecedented large-scale war against Hungary, which was called "Mobei War" in history. He sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to the north of the desert to fight against the Huns, and hundreds of thousands of clank fighters were ordered to go north. They are all angry and imposing.
If this war can completely defeat the Huns, the Han Dynasty will become the master of the world, their families will no longer have to travel around, and the Qinghai River will be peaceful.
The soldiers followed their general Huo Qubing, followed the direction of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and stepped into the desert again. Huo Qubing has become the most powerful existence in the world. This is the shura battlefield of Xiongnu, and it is also the nasal hell of Xiongnu.
Huo Qubing still played his superb tactics, wandering in the desert of Wan Li, chasing the main force of Xiongnu, fighting all the way, capturing more than 2,000 miles, losing more than 15,000 people in the Han army, in exchange for more than 70,000 body count, capturing three Xiongnu nobles and dozens of officers at all levels. Such a proud achievement can only make the Huns flee to the deeper desert hinterland.
Huo Qubing may still be dissatisfied with this result. He stuck to his oath that "the Huns are not extinct, and there is no place to live." With the blood of the Han people, he has been driving the Huns to the Kent mountain area of Mongolia.
"He was sealed in Xu Shanju, a jackal, and went to Gu Yan to return to the sea."
Huo Qubing held a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in Xushan, where the wolf lived, and held a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in Gu Yan, which became a dream that countless heroic generals in later generations could never catch up with.
After this war, the Xiongnu was wiped out by the Han army in the south of the desert, thus forming a pattern of "Xiongnu is far away, but there is no Wang Ting in the south of the desert", which became the peak of the Han Dynasty's fight against Xiongnu, and Xiongnu could no longer pose too much threat to the Han Dynasty. For hundreds of years, under the oppression of the Huns, the humiliation of passive tribute and marriage disappeared in the smoke of the desert.
Huo Qubing became an indelible karma in the hearts of Huns. He was the butcher's knife of thousands of Huns who died, but he was the patron saint of the people of the Han Dynasty. He is still a charming teenager and national hero.
After that, the Huns could no longer fight against the Han Dynasty, and Huo Qubing's mission was over. He returned to Chang 'an, a young Chang 'an full of prosperity. At that time, there were only "young people wearing thin spring clothes, riding oblique bridges and full of red sleeves."
Chang 'an is the earliest place where Huo Qubing began to live. Here he has the ambition of "whoever makes me strong, though far away, will be punished." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only valued him, and nothing else. This life in my twenties has become the spirit of the whole country.
In BC 1 19, Huo Qubing was appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his official position was the same as that of his uncle Wei Qing. In ancient times, the official position and salary of a title of generals in ancient times were also equivalent to those of generals. Only on military service, no one in the world can compare with Huo Qubing.
Heaven can bring down talents, but it also envies talents. In the sixth year of yuanshou (1 17 BC), Huo Qubing died suddenly, which became an eternal mystery. There are different opinions about his death. Some people say that he died of illness, while others say that the Wei family plotted against Huo Qubing. We can't explore the truth, but after Huo Qubing's death, Emperor Wu was extremely sad. The dead boy was only 24 years old. Emperor Wu watched him grow up and now watches him die. His life should not be so unlucky, but he can't escape his fate after all.
After his death, Huo Qubing was buried with the mausoleum and was given the title of "Huan Hou Wang". These two sentences have taken the meaning of "combining military forces with land" to show that Huo Qubing is brave and good at fighting, and expanded the territory for the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dispatched Xuanjia Tiejun, arranged in array, and meandered along Chang 'an to the Huoqubing Tomb on the east side of Maoling, and ordered the Huoqubing Tomb to be built in the shape of Qilian Mountain to show its meritorious service against Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty carried him to the highest position in the army before his death and kept him with him after his death. His kindness is so deep that people can see it clearly.
Huo Qubing, this name is still so important to read. He is a great soldier. Because of his courage and determination, the Huns were afraid of him. With his 24-year-old life, he held up the glory of the hegemony of the Han Dynasty, and he let the Xiongnu quit the Central Plains stage and go far to the desert. "Drink Ma Lou, seal the Wolf in professional. West River, Liejun Qilian ".
Some people say that Huo Qubing is the most regrettable existence in history. If he can live for another 20 years, the pattern of the whole Eurasia may be different. Perhaps the greatest military presence in history is no longer the Mongols, but the Han people-the Han people headed by Huo Qubing.
In today's society, money and impetuous atmosphere go hand in hand, and few people pay attention to history. Not long ago, there was a saying that "historical figures Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were deleted from junior high school history textbooks". Perhaps in today's peaceful times, Huo Qubing is no longer useful. However, if anyone looks back at that period of history, the book is full of the soul of the "Han army" and the boy whose god is still shining.
Many people of all kinds have swept past in the long river of history. Some people are dissolute, some are mediocre, and some are incompetent. But Huo Qubing is the only one in history. Maybe he is not as wonderful as those love stories and those touching poets. His story is a little passionate, not so politically correct, but it is also the most exciting.
