Wei Qingfeng was full of brilliance, and the Great Han Dynasty was no longer what it used to be

In the second year of Yuan Shuo (127 BC), the wise and divine Emperor Wu of Hanwu did two major things that directly determined the direction of the life of the Han Dynasty: after the Spring Festival, he adopted the advice of the father of the Zhongdafu, issued the "Tui En Order", and soon launched the Henan Campaign when the ice melted and the snow melted. These two major events, which went almost hand in hand, were decisive both for the consolidation of the emperor's own imperial power and for the entire dynasty to be weakened and strengthened.

As early as two years ago, after the Battle of Shanggu County, the Huns were indignant, and they regarded the small victory that was almost a draw as a great shame for the Great Hun Kingdom, and in retaliation, they constantly fought horses to provoke. In the late autumn of a year ago, the Xiongnu soldiers divided into three routes, broke through the Great Wall pass, plundered countless times, and the Left Route Army even beheaded the Liaoxi Taishou and burned the eyebrows, Emperor Wu of Han had no choice but to urgently order Wei Qing to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Yanmen Pass, so that the general Li Xi was on the side of Dai County, and the two departments did not fail in their mission, and Wei Qing "beheaded thousands of prisoners" before the arrogance of the Xiongnu could be curbed.

In the spring of that year, the ambitious Xiongnu King Zuoxian, when the earth had just thawed and everything had not yet recovered, provoked the Han Dynasty again, and invaded Shanggu and Yuyang with his troops. Han Anguo, who was then a material officer general, led more than 700 border guards to ambush the enemy on both sides, but in the end, due to the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, they had to retreat into the city after the great defeat. Such confrontations were commonplace on the border between Han and Hungary, and the soldiers guarding the city were not strange, and the older ones, who had lost their youth in such advances and retreats from the moment they joined the army, leisurely watched the Xiongnu soldiers screaming and screaming under the city, watching them burn and loot, and even the anger that should be in their nature was almost reduced. Of course, many times, the Huns did not attack the city and plunder the land, they were like trapped beasts out of the mountains, nothing more than to eat, drink and wear. Sure enough, after the Han army could not retreat, the Xiongnu captured more than a thousand people and tens of thousands of livestock by nature, and threatened to "enter the East".

Spring thunder bursts, the Shouts of the Xiongnu soldiers shook the sky, crossed the clouds, and reached Weiyang Palace.

The young and vigorous Liu Che was furious in front of a peach blossom with buds waiting to be released, and he broke the peach branch and shouted: "It is too much to deceive people."

It is true that the deception is too much, and the continuous burning and looting has already made the people of the Great Han miserable, and even the capital Chang'an has been threatened several times, and if it does not completely counterattack, the Great Han will be in danger. Everyone understands the reason, ordinary people understand, the emperor understands even more, but the people only know that the country is strong and the people are rich, and they should fight and kill, but they don't know that they will lose everything carelessly.

Such anger was not uncommon among the emperors of the Han Dynasty, but after calming down, they either cut the land or made peace, and asking for perfection became a magic weapon for them to recuperate. But this time, Liu Che, who had endured enough, said, "Lao Tzu wants you to come and go." In this way, Liu Che said before the Battle of Shanggu County, and now that he revisits it, the momentum is different from the last time: not a shout of shame and anger, but a sound of confidence.

However, the outside must first be inside.

Although in the past two years, Wei Qingfeng has been fully displayed, and the Great Han Dynasty is not what it used to be. But the power of the princely states was also more arrogant than before. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, the young talented son Jia Yi, in view of the rebellion of the King of Huainan and the King of Jibei, wrote in the "Public Security Policy" to suggest that the princely states should "build up the princes and have less strength", and although the cautious Emperor Wendi of Han accepted this suggestion, he was still confined to the brotherhood and the danger of the situation, and in order to prevent unnecessary resistance, he only made a small range of adjustments, and did not thoroughly implement it, so that this stubborn disease continued until Emperor Jing took the throne. As soon as the soft and filial Emperor Jingfu of Han took office, he felt in danger, coupled with Empress Dou's restraint, the imperial power was seriously threatened, and in the second year of Emperor Jing's reign (155 BC), he adopted Yushi Dafu Chao's "Cutting The Strategy", determined to "cut down the fiefdoms and reclaim the side counties" against the princely states, but this decision caused strong opposition from the princes, so that more than ten days after the promulgation of the decree on cutting the domain, it triggered the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms headed by Wu Chu, although Emperor Jing quickly quelled the rebellion and tearfully killed Chao To thank the world. The power of the princes was also greatly weakened, but in the end it was the tiger that was in danger. By the early years of Emperor Wu, some large powers headed by Liu An, the king of Huainan, had gradually risen and practiced local autonomy, supporting the central government on the one hand and respecting themselves on the other, and some princes even colluded with the Xiongnu to obstruct the masses from disobeying orders and seriously threatening the centralization of power. Therefore, when Emperor Wu of Han wu decided to go all out to fight back against the Xiongnu, his heart still trembled, and when he thought about the events before and after him, he could not help but take a breath of cold air, and under the appearance of seemingly getting stronger and stronger, it was the dark waves that the princely states coveted - once the central army attacked the Xiongnu in the west, there must be a thousand cold arrows behind him.
