During the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the land of the Central Plains. Many emperors want to fight the enemy to the death. However, the founding strength of the early Han Dynasty was weak, and it could not compete head-on with the already growing Huns.
Several generations of emperors in the Western Han Dynasty have been stoic, with thieves and snakes. Until the rule of Wenjing made the country strong, the Han finally had the strength to expedition to the north of the desert and eradicate the Xiongnu. At this time, the heavens draped the curtain of the Great Han and gave two great gods and generals to ensure that the Han Room was worry-free.
One of them was Wei Qing, the most famous general of the Western Han Dynasty and one of the most outstanding military figures in Chinese history. Although he came from a humble background, his life created countless legends. It made great contributions to the Han Dynasty from the threat of the Xiongnu. The other is the champion Hou Huo to the disease, a lifetime of bravery, brave to crown the three armies.
Compared with Huo's illness, Wei Qing's life was undoubtedly much more bumpy. Wei Qing was an illegitimate son, born of his mother's fornication with a county official. In addition to Wei Qing, his mother also has a man, three girls, and four children. Due to his family's poverty, Wei Qing was sent to live in his father's family from an early age. But Wei Qing was after all an illegitimate son, and his father did not regard him as his own son at all, only let him be a sheep. His father's children did not regard Wei Qing as his brother at all. He beat and scolded him like an animal.
Because he really couldn't stand the abuse of his father's family, when Wei Qing grew up, he ran back to his mother's house privately. And his mother did not scold him, but let him be a slave rider at the side of Princess Binh Duong. Wei Qing thought that his life could only be spent like this, but the arrival of a person changed his fate.
Emperor Wu of Han visited the Pingyang Palace and secretly had feelings for Wei Qing's third sister, Wei Zifu, and recruited him into the palace. And Wei Qing was also able to accompany his sister to the palace as an errand boy. Wei Zifu was soon snubbed after entering the palace, but was pampered again a year later, but he became pregnant.
Emperor Wu of Han's empress was jealous, and the empress's mother wanted to get rid of the Wei siblings for the sake of her daughter. Fortunately, Gongsun Ao heard the sound of the wind and led someone to save Wei Qing. In order to protect Wei's brothers and sisters, Emperor Wu of Han made Wei Zifu his wife and made Wei Qing his closest courtier. However, Emperor Wudi of Han did not expect that this move of his own would make him famous in history.
In 130 BC, the Xiongnu marched south, and the border of the Han Dynasty was in danger. Emperor Wu of Han ordered Wei Qing and four other generals, each with 10,000 cavalry, to block the Xiongnu. In the case of the other three roads without success, Wei Qing's lone army went deep and attacked the Xiongnu holy land of Longcheng, forcing the enemy to retreat. This was the first time that the Han Dynasty achieved the peak in battle against the Xiongnu, so Wei Qing was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Two years later, Wei Qing led 30,000 troops, went out of the Yanmen Pass, and attacked the Xiongnu. The Huns held a grudge and marched south again a few years later. Wei Qing once again led an army to the north, detouring and encircling, cutting off the connection between the Xiongnu army and the royal court. Later, together with another Han army, they attacked back and forth, severely damaged the Xiongnu, and occupied the Hetao area. For the subsequent counterattack on the Xiongnu, a good start was laid.
In 124 BC, the Han Dynasty launched a counterattack against the Xiongnu, and Wei Qingqin led 30,000 cavalry from Gao que to attack the hinterland of the Xiongnu. At this time, the Xiongnu Right Sage King, thinking that the Han army could not penetrate deep into the desert, was drinking and feasting, the Han army suddenly arrived, and the Right Xian King risked death to lead the army to break through. In this battle, Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu Right Sage King in one fell swoop, capturing more than 10,000 men and women, and countless cattle and sheep. Wei Qing also fought because of this, and the officials worshiped the general.
The following year, Wei Qing twice led his army to attack the Xiongnu. And this year, another divine general of the Han Dynasty also stepped onto the stage of history, he was Wei Qing's nephew Huo Qi. Personally led eight hundred light horses, crossed the desert for thousands of miles, slashed countless enemies, and bravely championed the three armies. Therefore, Huo went to illness and also had to be crowned champion Hou.
Two years later, Huo went to the Xiongnu twice. For the first time, the First World War broke through the City of Hu Tu Wang and captured the Xiu Tu King to sacrifice the Tianjin people. Subsequently, Huo went ill for six days, fought for more than a thousand miles, fought a great battle against the Hun Evil King, and even broke the five major tribes of the Xiongnu. The second time, Huo went deep into the desert and went straight to the Qilian Mountains, captured the five xiongnu kings, beheaded 30,000 enemies, and forced the Hun Evil King to lead 40,000 people to surrender to the Han.
In 119 BC, the final decisive battle between Emperor Wu of Han and the Xiongnu, the Battle of Mobei, broke out. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used 140,000 warhorses and 500,000 infantry as logistics. Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi each led 50,000 cavalry and expeditioned to northern Mobei.
Before the expedition, the two agreed that Huo Would lead his elite troops to attack the main Xiongnu force, while Wei Qing would raid the Xiongnu King Zuoxian. However, heaven did not go according to people's wishes, and from the mouths of the Xiongnu captives, they learned that the main force of the Xiongnu was actually on the side of Wei Qing. After Wei Qing learned of the main position of the Xiongnu, he once again divided his troops into two ways, hoping to capture the Xiongnu Shan Yu in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, Wei Qing encountered the main Xiongnu force. Wei Qing had no choice but to form a camp with chariots to prevent the Xiongnu army from attacking. At this time, it was sunset, and suddenly the wind was fierce, flying sand and stones, and the people could not see. Wei Qing seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the enemy from both flanks, crushing the Xiongnu army in one fell swoop. Wei Qing then pursued the Xiongnu for more than 200 miles, annihilating more than 19,000 enemy personnel and burning countless grain and grass for the Xiongnu.
Huo Fuyi, on the other hand, went all the way to the depths of the lone army and destroyed the Xiongnu Zuoxian King. And chased the Xiongnu to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and the soldiers directly approached the Hanhai. And it was also here that Huo Wentai completed the achievements that countless famous generals dreamed of, sealing the wolf juxu and landing on the Han sea. In this battle, the Han army killed more than 70,000 enemies and severely damaged the Xiongnu. After this battle, the Xiongnu were far away, and there was no longer a royal court in the south of the country.
After returning to the dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo went ill, and at the same time, the officials worshiped Sima Da, and the general government was in charge. Not only that, Wei Qing also married his original master, Princess Pingyang. Everything seems so beautiful, but the good times are not long. Just when Emperor Wu of Han was preparing to go north again to the Xiongnu, Huo Went ill but became ill, fell ill, and eventually died of illness at the age of twenty-four.
Wei Qing suffered a lot in his childhood, and although he was born from a humble background, he continued to improve himself and eventually became a great cause. Huo went to the sick teenager to get zhi, but died prematurely due to illness. These two people are the saviors given by God to the Great Han, but they bear their own different sorrows and joys. If they can be re-elected, will they still choose to save the big man in a life that suffers?
