What were you doing when you were 17 or 8 years old?
: "I remember back then, I won a dormitory with marbles..."
What we are going to talk about today is the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty - Huo Qubing
The name Huo Qubing has left a strong mark on history. It is not wrong to say that they are the most dazzling group of people standing on the stage of history.
17-year-old won the title of Marquis after a battle, which shocked the world.
At the age of 19, he rode a brilliant horse and lined up in the Qilian Mountains; he opened up the Hexi Corridor and expanded the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty! From then on, the Silk Road became unimpeded.
html At the age of 421, he went deep into Mobei , and his horses trampled the Huns; when his troops reached Lake Baikal, they forced the Huns to flee far away, leaving no royal court in the south of the desert! Achieved the highest honor that all Chinese generals dream of, sealing the wolf as a coroner.
Huo Qubing's achievements made all the generals in the Western Han Dynasty eclipse him.
Perhaps Huo Qubing's glory was too dazzling. Perhaps Huo Qubing was born to fulfill his mission; he died of illness at the age of 23.
Huo Qubing's achievements are dazzling. Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che buried Huo Qubing in his own mausoleum - Maoling because of Huo Qubing; he was given the posthumous title "Jing Huan". (Taking the meaning of "Martial and Vast Territory", it shows the meaning of defeating enemies, fighting bravely, and expanding territory)
In the later Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty , ancient generals were granted titles to build temples, among which Huo Qubing was mentioned. ! Huo Qubing was also listed in the "Biography of One Hundred Generals of Seventeen Histories" written during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Huo Qubing, who started in 140 BC, was born in Pingyang County; he died early due to illness in 117 BC. Huo Qubing was only 23 years old in the end! Although Huo Qubing only flourished on the stage of history for 6 years, these six years are destined to be extraordinary!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once built a luxurious mansion for Huo Qubing, but Huo Qubing flatly refused, leaving behind the heroic words: "The Huns are not destroyed, why do we have a home?"
It was Huo Qubing who was able to drive out the Xiongnu and achieve the highest achievement of a military commander in Chinese history, becoming an immortal legend for thousands of years!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che specially created the highest title for him - Champion Hou , which has evolved into the pronoun of No. 1 today!
Huo Qubing's mother Wei Shao'er and aunt Wei Zifu were both singing girls in Pingyang Hou Mansion at that time; Huo Qubing's mother fell in love with a small official named Huo Zhongru in Pingyang County, and gave birth to her in 140 BC. Got Huo Qubing.
Huo Zhongru lost contact with Wei Shaoer due to the expiration of his duty. The young Huo Qubing had always been an illegitimate child and did not know who his father was. It was not until he later became a hussar general that he was able to recognize his father.
Huo Qubing's fate is also lucky. One year after Huo Qubing was born, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, on his way back to the palace to worship his ancestors, stopped by Pingyang Hou Mansion to visit Princess Pingyang.
During the meal, the singers from the Hou Mansion sang; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell in love with Wei Zifu in the crowd at a glance. Wei Zifu gained the favor of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was sent to the palace by Princess Pingyang. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved Wei Zifu more and more day by day.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! Ten years later, Wei Zifu was made queen. As the queen's nephew, Huo Qubing naturally lived a high-society life. This gave him the opportunity to go on an expedition in the future.
The young Huo Qubing was very good at riding and shooting; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che loved Wu and Wu, and he also liked Huo Qubing very much. He wanted to teach Huo Qubing's grandson and Wu Qi the art of war, but Huo Qubing refused on the grounds that " Gu Fanglue is so good that he doesn't want to learn the ancient art of war." Lost.
In 123 BC, the Huns invaded the borders of the Han Dynasty many times; Huo Qubing, who was only 17 years old, was appointed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a lieutenant of Yao and ordered Huo Qubing to follow the general Wei Qing to attack the Huns .
I don’t know if the ancients were very brave, but judging from the current concept, it is a bit early. Personally, I think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che's original intention was to give Huo Qubing a chance to exercise.

In 123 BC, the Huns invaded the borders of the Han Dynasty many times; Huo Qubing, who was only 17 years old, was appointed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as a lieutenant of Yao and ordered Huo Qubing to follow the general Wei Qing to attack the Huns .
I don’t know if the ancients were very brave, but judging from the current concept, it is a bit early. Personally, I think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che's original intention was to give Huo Qubing a chance to exercise.
However, Huo Qubing, who had just arrived on the battlefield, was not afraid of tigers. After arriving on the battlefield, he negotiated with Wei Qing and asked for 800 cavalry. Afterwards, Huo Qubing took the 800 light cavalry and detoured for hundreds of miles, directly raiding the Xiongnu's lair.
In this battle, Huo Qubing killed more than 2,000 enemies, and also killed Shan Yu 's grandfather and uncles in one pot. After won the army twice, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ceded Luyang Township in Rang County of Nanyang County and Linjiangju in Wan County (today's northwest of Dengzhou, Henan Province) as the champion lord country , and named Huo Qubing the champion lord.
Two years later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed 19-year-old Huo Qubing as a hussar general.
let it attack Hexi area twice in spring and summer. In the spring offensive, Huo Qubing led 10,000 hussars out of Longxi , crossed Yanzhi Mountain , and marched more than a thousand miles in six days; he also led 10,000 hussars soldiers to fight in Hexi country, and finally fought a fierce battle with the Xiongnu army at the foot of Gaolan Mountain, annihilating the Xiongnu king Zhelan and Luhou Wang, and annihilating their elites. In this battle, Huo Qubing killed nearly 9,000 Xiongnu people in seconds and wiped out five tribes in a row. The prince, prime minister, and captain were all captured, and the Huns were severely damaged! He also took away the little golden man that the Xiongnu offered to heaven.
In the summer offensive of the same year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arranged for Huo Qubing and Gongsun Ao to lead the army in separate attacks. But Gongsun Ao lost his way, and the army did not arrive for a long time. So Huo Qubing went deep into the Qilian Mountains alone and defeated the Huns!
In this battle, more than 30,000 enemies were killed, and the five kings and five queen mothers of the Xiongnu were captured alive. The Yan family of the Xiongnu and 59 princes, as well as 63 prime ministers, generals, officials, and captains were captured alive. There are more than 2,000 people. And Huo Qubing achieved such results, and his battle losses were only three-tenths! Hunxie King who failed many times was resented by Shan Yu, so King Hunxie intended to surrender and return to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that it was a trap, so he sent Huo Qubing to meet King Hunxie in the autumn. When the two met, some of King Hunxie's men were unwilling to submit, so Huo Qubing killed more than 8,000 of his enemies and "surrendered thirty-two kings of foreign countries."
wins! Great victory! Great victory!
After this battle, basically no Huns dared to invade the northwest border of the Han Dynasty. As a result, the number of soldiers arranged by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to guard the border was reduced by half. Not only did ease the burden of corvee work on the people across the country, it also allowed the Han Dynasty to completely control the Hexi region and open up the Hexi Corridor.
The Xiongnu lamented about this: "Losing me in the Qilian Mountains will deprive my animals of their ability to feed; losing me in the Yanzhi Mountains will deprive my married women of color."
In 119 BC, 21-year-old Huo Qubing and his uncle Wei Qing each led 50,000 men. The army was sent out from Dingxiang and Daijun respectively, and went deep into Mobei to find and annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu.
Because Huo Qubing was flexible in using troops and was good at running long-distance detours, he carried out detours and outflanking tactics. Huo Qubing, who led 50,000 soldiers and horses, marched for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, and fought with the Xiongnu King Zuo Xian. troops engaged in battle and defeated the Huns army.
After the battle was won and the morale of the army was high, Huo Qubing took advantage of the victory and pursued it all the way to Langjuxu Mountain.
sealed the wolf in Xu and ascended the vast sea; at the place of langjuxu, Huo Qubing held a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the sky, held a Zen ceremony to worship the earth in Guyan Mountain, is now Lake Baikal in Russia. In this battle, Huo Qubing pursued the Huns from Kent Mountain in Mongolia all the way to Russia. It was a true cross-border pursuit.
In this battle, Huo Qubing killed more than 70,000 enemies; according to the records of the Han Dynasty Secretary, Huo Qubing only lost two-tenths of his men and horses in this battle!
The Xiongnu fled far away, but there was no royal court in Monan.
In 117 BC, the Xiongnu Yi Zhixie Shanyu refused to become a vassal of the Han Dynasty. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Qubing again to wipe out the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu in one fell swoop.
However, just as preparations were being made for the battle, 23-year-old Huo Qubing died young due to long-term fatigue and harsh environment! Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only temporarily terminate the crusade against the Xiongnu.
The extremely sad Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Huo Qubing to be buried in Maoling, and built Huo Qubing's tomb to look like the Qilian Mountains to highlight Huo Qubing's contribution to defeating the Huns.
Not only that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also specially dispatched the armored troops from the five counties of Hexi, with horses and black armor arrayed along Chang'an to Huo Qubing's mausoleum in the east of Maoling.
Although Huo Qubing's life was short, he left a strong mark in history. He was a proud young man, but not arrogant. He left behind a heroic saying: "The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family?"
If Huo Qubing hadn't died young, who knows how history would have been rewritten!
