The loss of me in qilian mountains has made my six animals restless
The loss of my mountain has left my married wife colorless
This is the voice of the Huns from the western region of our country more than two thousand years ago, and the reason why the voice is so sad is because of the bravery of a god-like figure in battle, which makes people fearful. As the god of war in the minds of all military generals in Chinese history, Huo Quyi has always been a legendary existence, with a short life trajectory of twenty-four years, but galloping on the desert for thousands of miles, driving the indomitable Huns to the north of the desert, forming a situation of "Xiongnu far shield, and no royal court in the south of the desert".
A rise of the Huns
The image comes from the Internet
There are many historical legends about the origin of the Xiongnu, among which Sima Qian quoted the Xiongnu as saying that "the Miao descendants of the Former Xia and Later Clans, known as Chun Wei, Tang Yu above the Mountain Rong, Yan Yun, and Lavender, lived in the north, and moved with grass and animal husbandry" that the Xiongnu were from Chun Wei, the son of Jie. Wang Guowei also believes that the ghost fang, chaoyi, and badger in the Shang Dynasty, the fox in the Zhou Dynasty, the Rong and Di in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the different ethnic groups seen in the historical books such as Huqu, Yanjing, Yu wu, Lou Fu, and Dali in the Warring States period are collectively referred to as the Xiongnu.
In fact, the Xiongnu were originally a nomadic people who arose in the third century AD, living as nomads, mainly active in northern Shaanxi and the Mongolian plateau, as far back as the Warring States period, they continued to attack and harass the war, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, in order to stabilize the north, he also spared no effort to send troops to suppress, but until the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the problem was still not solved. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu problem intensified, from the beginning of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, to the early years of Liu Che, the Emperor of Han, for more than a hundred years, at least 200,000 people of the Han Dynasty were plundered by the Xiongnu as slaves. The Xiongnu went south to harass the frontier areas, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers shed blood and died.
In 200 BC, Gaozu Liu Bang led 320,000 troops to resist the Xiongnu, and as a result, he was besieged at Mount Baishan in Heisei for 7 days and 7 nights, and finally survived by bribing The wife of Mao Dun Shan Yu. Therefore, from then on, the Western Han Dynasty was unable to resist the iron hooves of the Huns, and had to humiliatingly begin the so-called "peace and affinity" policy, the essence of which was that the Han Dynasty married a princess in its clan to the Xiongnu shan yu as a concubine, so as to barely stabilize the situation.
In the period of Lü's reign, in the process of completing its centralized power, there were a series of internal wars within the regime, so there was no time to worry about the northwest corner, and the Xiongnu wrote to humiliate Lü, writing that "Your Majesty is independent, living alone, the two lords are unhappy, and there is no way to worry about themselves." Willing to have everything, easy to have", with this insulting word, to ask Lü Houxia to marry himself as a concubine, forced by the military strength of the Western Han Dynasty at that time, Lü Hou could only be cheeky, and wrote in his reply: "Shan Yu does not forget the evil Yi, gives it a book, the evil Yi fears, retreats to self-image, old age and decay, teeth degenerate, walking in a wrong way, listening alone, not enough to defile himself, the evil Yi is not guilty, it is advisable to see pardon, steal the royal car two rides, the horse ersi, in order to serve the regular driving." At that time, the empress dowager of the Western Han Dynasty, or the Emperor Taishang, was blessed with such filthy words, and could reply with kind words and offer gifts, which showed that it was indeed not allowed to start a war with the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty at that time.
2. The rule of Wenjing, recuperation
Emperor Wen's mother, Bo Ji, was originally a concubine of Wei Wangbao, in the early days of the Chu-Han War, Wei Wangbao first surrendered to Han, then rebelled against Han, and finally was captured by Han Xin, Cao Shan, and other Han generals, and was soon killed, as a concubine, Bo was arranged to weave cloth in the weaving room, and was inadvertently recruited into the harem by Liu Bang, and gave birth to Liu Bang's fourth son Liu Heng in 203 BC. Because the mother Bo Ji is not the main chamber, or the second marriage, so from the birth of Liu Heng, the mother and son will live carefully, never thought about the matter of fighting for the throne, in 196 BC Liu Bang li eight-year-old Liu Heng as the acting king, the territory is in Jinyang, so after Liu Bang's death, Liu Heng took his mother Bo Ji to the fiefdom, in the fiefdom for many years, Liu Heng's reputation is quite good, rest with the people, develop production, so that after the Lü family was removed, Zhou Bo and others embraced Liu Heng as emperor, for Emperor Wen of Han.
During the reign of Emperor Wen, it was a turbulent period of chaos and regime change in the early Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is particularly important to implement the Taoist strategy of "ruling by doing nothing". Resting with the people, not disturbing the free production of the common people, coupled with the fact that there was no war and internal stability, the Han Dynasty soon regained its vitality under the helm of Emperor Wen. In the period of the Han Jing Emperor, Liu Qi continued to implement the national policy of "ruling without doing anything", the national strength was further strengthened, and the military strength was greatly improved compared with the previous dynasty, and the late Jing Emperor already had the strength to resist the Northern Xiongnu, but he still lacked a person who had the courage to fight.
Three Emperor Wu of Han
After the death of the Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi, his son Liu Che was the emperor, that is, the famous Han Wu Emperor in Chinese history, and in the period of Emperor Wu, after the accumulation of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing's "rule by doing nothing", the national strength increased greatly, but if he wanted the Han Dynasty to further develop and further strengthen the centralization of power, "rule by doing nothing" was obviously no longer able to adapt to the situation at that time, if he wanted to conquer the Xiongnu by force, he had to implement a new national policy, so under the recommendation of the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu, there was a national medicine of "deposing a hundred families and respecting Confucianism alone".
In early 129 BC, the Xiongnu cavalry once again invaded Shanggu County, and this time Emperor Wu zai could not bear it and was determined to resist. At that time, the courtiers were very dissatisfied, thinking that how a hairy boy wei Qing could be entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the first battle, afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable, but the result was a total of four soldiers and horses, and only Wei Qing fought all the way to victory, directly attacking the Xiongnu ancestral shrine Dragon City, and hunting down and killing more than 700 Xiongnu soldiers. Other soldiers and horses led by the famous Han Dynasty generals Gongsun Ao, Gongsun Xian, and Fei general Li Guang were defeated one after another.
Wei Qing became famous in the First World War, and Emperor Wu granted him the Marquis of Guannei. After that, Wei Qing fought several major battles against the Xiongnu, after the Battle of Henan, the Xiongnu were divided into two parts, and in this battle, Wei Qing actually achieved an unprecedented major victory by "returning with all armored troops", this time not only relieved the danger of Chang'an, but also forced the Xiongnu to retreat to the north of the desert, and Wei Qing was awarded the title of Marquis of Changping for his military merits. After that, Emperor Wu of Han even made Wei Qing a great general and held all the military power against the Xiongnu, and the reputation of the great general Wei Qing was shocking the north.
Iv. The rise of Hodge disease
In 123 BC, the 17-year-old young general Huo Quyi, who had been appointed as a lieutenant of The Yao Dynasty, had already followed his uncle Wei Qing on two expeditions to the south of the country, leading only 800 light cavalry to defend Qing for hundreds of miles and kill the Xiongnu at a long distance. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the first time the commander of the army, Huo Zhiyi, showed amazing talent and wise talent, light troops, removed the excess equipment on the original cavalry, only equipped with light equipment that meets the light cavalry, unlike large-scale marches, he only allowed soldiers to bring enough dry food for a few days, so as not to affect the pace of cavalry marching.
Facts have proved that everything Huo went to work, and after going deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, the enemy was completely defenseless, and even said that he killed a person who was caught off guard without the enemy's complete thoughts, let alone that there was no such war in history. Not only did it give play to the advantages of the light cavalry's fast marching speed and strong mobility, but also gave play to the advantage that the cavalry knife was fast and the horse was not suitable for tracking. Among the more than 2,000 people killed were many close relatives of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi, including Shan Yu's grandfather's ancestor RuoHou, who captured his uncle Luo Gubi, as well as some important officials and other important people within the Xiongnu. In this battle, Huo's illness was far and widespread, so that the north and south of the desert were all shocked, and Emperor Wu even made Huo huo's illness a champion marquis and cut off the land and feudal state.
Five Battles of Hexi
In the second year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the nineteen-year-old Hun general Huo Fu fell ill in spring and summer and attacked the Xiongnu twice, and occupied the Xiongnu Hun Evil King and The Hutu King tribe. Even more in the spring war, countless people and horses were captured, because the road was long, it was not easy to take away, so Huo went to the disease and returned these things to those who surrendered, replacing them with leniency, and even more showed the heavenly might of the Great Han, and captured the Xiongnu people to sacrifice the heavens in this campaign, And Emperor Wudi of han placed the sacrifice of the heavenly golden people in the Ganquan Palace in the ganquan mountains in the northwest of Chunhua today, in fact, this can also be regarded as the return of things to the original owner.
The Sacrifice of the Xiongnu Hutu Tribe was placed on this Ganquan Mountain before the Warring States, down, because this is the place where the Yellow Emperor has been used to sacrifice tianyuan qiu, the Xiongnu have always regarded this place as a holy place for sacrifice to the heavens after they migrated to this place, and after Emperor Wudi of han learned of this situation, he put the sacrifice of heavenly gold people under Ganquan Mountain, in Ganquan Palace, which shows that after hundreds of years of worshiping tianjin people, they have returned to the place where they originally sacrificed heaven.
In the Summer War, Huo Went ill, in the absence of mixing with the allied gongsun Ao, went deep into the enemy to annihilate tens of thousands of people, including the king, the queen mother, the Fu clan, the prince, the Xiangguo, the general and other nobles, and in the autumn of the same year, more than 40,000 people from the Hun evil king's army were returned to the Han Dynasty and completely controlled the Hexi region, and the Xiongnu lamented that "I lost my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals could not rest, I lost my Yanzhi Mountain, and made my married wife colorless."
Six Seals of the Wolf Residence
In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Huo went ill to lead 50,000 cavalry, went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Hou Mountain and the Bow Lu River to annihilate more than 70,000 xiongnu zuoxian kings, killed and captured countless high-ranking Xiongnu officials and dignitaries, and so on, and the soldiers reached Wolf Juxu Mountain, and finally went straight to Lake Baikal, and built an altar on Wolf Juxu Mountain, and held a grand sacrifice ceremony. Lake Baikal is in the territory of Siberia in the east of present-day Russia, and it is conceivable how great the merits of the war were in the first half of the year when Hogo was only in his early twenties. After this battle, the Huns formed a situation of "the Xiongnu are far away, and there is no royal court in the south of the desert", and in the following hundreds of years, a branch of the Huns was broken and integrated into Europe.
Feng Wolf Juxu, this is the highest merit of the military generals in Chinese history for thousands of years, but also the highest honor they dream of, Huo Quyi is brave and fearless, courageous and wise, one of the few fierce generals in Chinese history, almost single-handedly eliminated the plague of foreign nationalities in the northwest since the Warring States Qin Dynasty, so that the banner of the Great Han Dynasty flew above the Wolf Juxu Mountain, fluttered on the shore of Lake Baikal, and also laid a solid foundation for the chinese territory of the next few thousand years, laying a solid foundation for the great integration of China's multi-ethnic groups. But it is only a pity that Heaven is jealous of talent, and this invincible general has disappeared in the long river of history at an age of prosperity.
In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (117 BC), when Emperor Wu of Han was preparing to once again use troops against the Xiongnu who refused to be subject to the Xiongnu, the 23-year-old hussar general Huo Qiyi died suddenly, and Emperor Wudi of Han was extremely sad, and decided to let him accompany Maoling, accompany him around a hundred years later, in recognition of his bravery and fearlessness, expand his territory, "Marquis Of Jinghuan", and when Huo Went ill was buried, he ordered the ironclad army composed of Xiongnu people to line up along Chang'an all the way to huo's tomb in the east of Maoling, and he also ordered the mausoleum of Huo Toyi to be built into the shape of Qilian Mountain. In order to show his merits in defeating the Huns, a generation of gods of war fell.
