In the "Manjiang Hong", it was written that "Zhuangzhi was hungry for meat, laughing and talking about thirst for The blood of the Xiongnu." "In the thousands of years of our country's history, the Huns are definitely an impressive name.
In the countless wars with them, too many touching heroic stories have been born, and a large number of great characters have emerged. The famous General of the Western Han Dynasty, Huo Quyi, was such a young and outstanding anti-Hungarian general.
In the 3rd century BC, the Huns quietly rose on the northern steppes. During the Qin Dynasty, in 215 BC, Qin Shi Huang sent Meng Tian to them for a great shock, but they began to stir up trouble again during the Qin-Han communication.
It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the Han Dynasty, which had been at a disadvantage, finally began to counterattack it, and Huo Fuyi was one of the most outstanding generals, and went north with Wei Qing.
In 140 BC, Huo was born in Pingyang, Hedong (Linfen, Shanxi), and began a legendary life. In 123 BC, at the age of 17, he won the favor of Emperor Wu of Han for his bravery and talent, and fought against the Xiongnu with Wei Qing.
With his superior military talent and bravery, he led the Han army to a series of successful reports, and 2 years later served as a general of the Huns, which made those once rampant Xiongnu people smell discolored and fearful.
But unfortunately, in 117 BC, this peerless general fell due to illness. However, although the hero has gone, his great achievements in recovering territory for the Han Dynasty and resisting foreign enemies have long been engraved in people's hearts. In addition, there are 4 cities and pools that he personally laid down, with a domineering name that has not changed for more than 2,000 years as a memorial and respect for him.
The first thing to say is Jiuquan. For a long time, the city was in the sphere of influence of the Ōtsuki people, but under the attack of the Xiongnu, the land changed hands.
It was not until 121 BC that the Hun general Huo Fuyi led an army to fight a great battle with the Hun Evil King who ruled the area. In the end, the Xiongnu soldiers in this area were defeated and retreated to the outside of Yumen Pass, and these cities also returned to the embrace of the Han Dynasty, and the Han people were re-sent to cultivate.
Then there is Wuwei, located in the eastern part of the Hexi Corridor. In the past, it was also occupied by the Ōtsuki clan, and eventually it was invaded by the Xiongnu. In 121 BC, the Army of Huo went to this place and directly defeated all the enemies here.
For this suffering city, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty specially named it after the meaning of "martial arts military might" and continued to do so.
The third place is the mysterious Dunhuang. According to the "Chronicle of History", during the Warring States period, this place was already under the command of the Yue clan, and it also fell under the iron hooves of the Xiongnu.
But in the conquest of Huo's disease, this ancient city will naturally not be overlooked, and the majesty of the general of the Hussar is still a good story passed here. In 111 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Dunhuang County, which has a beautiful meaning of grand splendor.
The last one is Zhangye. In 121 BC, after Huo went ill to conquer the Xiongnu who occupied Dunhuang, he quickly resolved the Hutu and Hun evil kings who occupied the area.
This ancient city has a very strong historical heritage, dating back more than 5,000 years to the Stone Age has been a trace of civilization. In the end, Emperor Wu of han named it after the meaning of "Zhang Guo's arm, through the Western Regions", and never changed.
