Huo Wentai was undoubtedly the most powerful military general in the Han Dynasty, and he became one of the famous generals in the ages, and it is undeniable that it seems that if the Han Dynasty did not have Huo Toe, then the outcome of the war between Emperor Wu of Han and the Xiongnu would not necessarily be what it would be. Unfortunately, Huo died after only 24 years of age, which is undoubtedly a loss of the Han Dynasty.
Because of this, the record of Huo's disease is still not to be underestimated. In Huo's life, there were two most important battles, namely the Battle of Qilian Mountain and the Battle of Yanzhi Mountain. For the two battles of Huo's illness, there was even a nursery rhyme: "Lose me Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; The loss of my mountain has left my married wife colorless. ”
As we all know, Huo Fu disease has become the first god of war of the Great Han, so the name of Huo Go disease is almost well known. Huo Wentai only lived to be 24 years old, but as early as the age of 17, Huo Wentyi followed his uncle Wei Qing on the battlefield. From this point on, Huo began to make contributions to the Western Han Dynasty.
When he was a teenager, Huo Went's illness shocked the world, and huo who became famous at a young age fled in a few years after beating the Xiongnu. At that time, this was undoubtedly very powerful, and more importantly, a military general like Huo Zhiyi was completely overwhelmed by the Xiongnu, that is to say, after huo went to the disease, the Xiongnu were defeated one after another.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, started a war against the Xiongnu, thus beginning the nearly hundred-year-old Han-Hungarian War. Since Han Gaozu unified the world, he has been invaded by the Xiongnu. At that time, the Han cavalry combat ability was not very strong. At the same time, the enemy facing the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, undoubtedly grew up on horseback.
From this point of view, cavalry combat is one of the skills of the Huns. The Xiongnu were a very brave and able to train powerful cavalry, so the Xiongnu had always gained the upper hand in the course of their battles with the Western Han. It was not until after the reign of Wenjing that the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty was developed, and at this time the Western Han Began to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu.
Although the Xiongnu were good at cavalry combat, the population of the Xiongnu was insufficient, which became the shortcoming of the Xiongnu, so the Xiongnu became a short board in terms of population. At that time, the combination of uncles and nephews such as Huo Goyi and Wei Qing appeared, so although the Western Han Dynasty was not good at cavalry combat, at this time, the emergence of Huo Quyi and Wei Qing changed this situation.
After Huo went out on the battlefield for the first time, he dared to lead eight hundred cavalry teams into the desert for hundreds of miles, and more importantly, huo went ill in such a battle without being injured, and secondly, he achieved amazing results, that is, he killed more than 2,000 Xiongnu soldiers, became famous in the first battle, and was awarded the title of Champion Hou. In the battle against the Xiongnu, Huo went to use tactics such as rapid raids, great detours, and large interspersions.
This was undoubtedly something the Huns could not cope with. From the beginning of this battle, Huo Fuyi was almost invincible, and after that, the Battle of Hexi annihilated more than 40,000 enemies, and by the Battle of Mobei, more than 70,000 enemies were annihilated, plus the rest of the large and small battles, the corpses of the Huns who died under his command were all over the field. What made Huo go to the disease invincible against the Huns? This has to start with the relationship between Huo Ande and the Xiongnu.
The reason why Huo went to war against the Xiongnu was that they could achieve the state of invincibility was that these soldiers were not Han Chinese, but Huns. So why did the Huns work hard for The Hobby? These people were all former captives of him, and their status ranged from the king and prince of the Huns to the famous generals and soldiers among the Huns.
Being able to take the Huns for their own use naturally can better strike at other Huns. This is the highest interpretation of the ancient "know thyself and know the other, never lose a battle". More importantly, in the Battle of Mobei, Huo Andui and Wei Qing each led 50,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry to attack the Xiongnu. The soldiers went deep into the north of the desert in two ways to annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu.
In this way, the strength of Huo's disease was demonstrated, and among these troops, the former prisoners also played an important role. In Huo's body, what is very valuable is Huo's leadership ability. This is the most precious quality of being a general. Most of the high-ranking generals who made great contributions with Huo's illness were Xiongnu, such as Zhao Baonu, Fulu zhi, Yi Jixuan, and so on.
