Wang Changling's "Two Songs Out of the Plug" has: Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan, the Long March of Ten Thousand Miles has not been returned, but the Dragon City will fly in, do not teach Humadu Yin Mountain! The poem writes about Li Guang, saying that he is a flying general, and if he is there, Huma will not spend the Yin Mountains! But in Chinese history, the person who really "didn't teach Humadu YinShan" was not him, but Wei Qing! It can even be said that Wei Qing is the most suitable candidate for the word "Dragon City Flying General", how to say it?
Wei Qing was born from a humble background and was a slave as a teenager
Wei Qing's origin was not good at that time, his father was Zheng Ji, a small official, his mother Wei Mi was a slave girl, and Wei Qing was the illegitimate son of the two of them. Because of the identity of an illegitimate child, even if he grew up next to his father, Wei Qing was still humiliated and bullied by his brothers, so when he grew up, he returned to his mother's side. However, his mother was only a slave girl in the Pingyang Princess Mansion, and even if Wei Qing returned to her mother, she could only be a slave like his mother's other sons. When he grew up a little longer, he became the "family rider" of Princess Pingyang.
However, all this changed with the entry of his sister Wei Zifu into the palace. Emperor Wu of Han fell for Wei Zifu's beauty and fell hopelessly in love with her! However, this also caused the dissatisfaction of Empress Chen, and her mother, Princess Guantao, in order to anger her daughter, planned to kill Wei Qing directly, in order to deter Wei Zifu! Fortunately, he was saved by Wei Qing's good friend Gongsun Ao. This matter reached the ears of Emperor Wu of Han, he was furious, in order to protect his beloved woman, he sealed Wei Qing as a Jianzhang supervisor, and from then on, Wei Qing began his legendary life!
Wei Qing broke through the Dragon City and opened the prelude to the defeat and victory of the Han-Hungarian War
After he became the Jianzhang Supervisor, because he was loved by Emperor Wu of Han, his status was gradually improved. However, at that time, the Han Dynasty had just been established for several decades, and although it had undergone the rule of Wenjing, the society had a short rest and recuperation! However, the national strength is not strong enough, so the policy towards the nomadic peoples in the north has always been a policy of gentle peacemaking, sending things without saying, and marrying princesses in the past and kissing. But even so, the nomads have been harassing the borders of the Han Dynasty!
And this time they met Emperor Wu of Han, and even more met Wei Qing! Emperor Wudi of Han took a long-term view and felt that it was not a good idea to always be close to each other! Because nomadic peoples have no fixed place to fight wars, the characteristics are: if they are advantageous, they will advance, if they have no profit, they will retreat, if they are advantageous, they will gather, and if they have no profit, they will scatter. Coupled with the fact that the border line of the Han Dynasty is too long, the traditional way of fighting has always been "guarding". In addition, the eating habits of the Han and the nomads are different, the Han people eat grain, crops, and long-distance raids need people to carry grain; while the Xiongnu's supply method is special, mostly meat, milk, and even local materials directly kill horses to eat, the troops have strong mobility. Therefore, the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu had been at a disadvantage before.
Until the appearance of Wei Qing, this situation was reversed. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defied the consensus of the people, he finally determined to go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu to grasp the direction and initiative of the war. There were four armies ordered to go out on the water, and the "Records of History" recorded that they were:
Qing was a general on horseback, attacked the Xiongnu, and went out of the valley
；
The servant Gongsun He was a light car general, Izumo Zhong; Gongsun Ao, the Grand Master of the Great Middle School, was a cavalry general, out of the Dai Commandery; and the wei lieutenant Li Guang was a general of the Xiao Horse, out of the Wild Goose Gate.
However, unfortunately, Li Guang got lost and was even captured, and Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He did not have any battle achievements, but only Wei Qing! He felt that such a great war, the court of the Xiongnu, their base area, The Dragon City, that is, the base camp, must be empty. He decided to set out directly for Dragon City, avoiding the real and the virtual. Wei Qing's childhood environment was repressive, humiliating, and degraded, and this living environment gave him the ability to rebound. This rebound ability was vividly demonstrated in this big war, and he also won the only victory in this war. The "Chronicle of History" records: Qing to the Dragon City, beheading hundreds of prisoners! The general who was sealed off also unveiled the prelude to the defeat and victory of the Han-Hungarian War!
And the Xiongnu have the spirit of worship of dragons, they often hold worship activities, ''Dragon City'' is not only their base camp, but also their spiritual pillar! Wei Qing's destruction of the Dragon City not only showed the might of the Han army, opened the beginning of the Han army's victory against defeat, but more importantly, gave the Xiongnu a huge spiritual blow! Directly lead them to migrate west!
Wei Qing was a marquis
Wei Qing's first victory gave Emperor Wu of Han and the Xiongnu the courage to fight! He decided to continue to follow suit, and Wei Qing continued to serve as the main general, and in the first year of Yuan Shuo, the year when Wei Zifu was made empress, Wei Qing, who was already a che general, continued his conquest of the Xiongnu and also won the victory. The Chronicle of History records:
In the first year of Yuan Shuo, 30,000 horsemen attacked the Xiongnu and beheaded thousands of prisoners; in the third year of Yuan Shuo, Wei Qing led 30,000 cavalry and killed thousands of Xiongnu; in the second year of Yuan Shuo, he took Henan as Shuofang County and beheaded 3,800 enemies. With 3,800 households Fengqing as the Marquis of Changping, Wei Qing led his troops to establish Shuofang County, beheaded 3,800 enemies, and sealed the Marquis of Changping.
In the second year of Yuan Shuo, more than ten people, more than 15,000 men and women, and tens of millions of animals were obtained. That is, the general Qing of the Baiche Rider in the army was a great general. Seal 6,000 households. Wei Qing led his troops to slash more than 5,000 enemies and obtain millions of livestock! It also captured many high-ranking Xiongnu princes. In the autumn of the second year of Yuan Shuo, Yue Yu came out to attack the Xiongnu and behead more than 10,000 people. Wei Qing led his troops to kill more than 10,000 enemies in a month's time!
Yuan Shuo four years, Chi Ming, more than two hundred miles, not alone, quite a capture and beheading of more than ten thousand people. The great general's army entered the jam, and all those who beheaded the first captive were 19,000 ranks. Wei Qing led his troops to behead more than 10,000 and 9,000 enemy troops respectively.
Looking at the historical data, Wei Qing's battle exploits are almost naked heads, according to statistics, until his death, he experienced a total of seven major wars, seven battles and seven victories, the "History" recorded:
The greatest general, Qing, attacked the Xiongnu seven times and beheaded more than 50,000 prisoners.
Such military achievements, coupled with the first time, opened the prelude to the Han Dynasty's defeat against the Xiongnu. Directly attacked their spiritual land, Dragon City. Therefore, he is the first person who really "does not teach Humadu Yin Shan"! Although the title of ''Dragon City Flying General' is to praise Li Guang's personal strength, the word ''Dragon City'' is the deepest source with Wei Qing, and Li Guang's luck is too bad to be crowned marquis, but compared to his several head-headed battle achievements with Wei Qing, his title of ''Dragon City Flying General'' is really a bit unworthy of the name!
