"The Huns are still not destroyed, and Wei Jiang returns to the army" is shocking to read. From this, we can clearly realize the emergency of the military situation on the border, and we can also feel the poet's fierce beating pulse. The first sentence implicitly uses the allusion of Huo Qubing, a hussar general in the Han Dynasty who was so powerful that he suppressed the enemy's courage, "The Huns are not destroyed, and they have nothing to do with their family." It expresses the pride of taking the world as one's own responsibility.
The word "Xiongnu" here refers to the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, and refers to the ethnic minority ruling group that invaded the border at that time. The poet also compared Wei Jiang, who used the policy of harmonizing the Rong to eliminate the border troubles of the Jin Dynasty, to Wei Da in the Spring and Autumn Period, and changed "harmony" to "cong Rong". The allusion clearly expresses the poet's views on this war and his hope. Friends, like the "multi-meritorious" Wei Jiang, killed enemies and made meritorious deeds to defend the border. At the same time, they also explained from the side that Wei Da's joining the army was a feat of guarding the border and protecting the country.
