Emperor Xiaowu of The Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was the fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty. He was the founder of the reign of Wenjing, the grandson of Emperor Xiaowen of Han Taizong, Liu Heng, and the tenth son of Liu Qi, the Emperor of Hanjing, who quelled the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and continued to rule by doing nothing and consolidated the rule of Wenjing.
Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty reigned for 54 years, during his reign, one of the most remarkable things he did in the annals of history was to attack the Xiongnu, as a Xiongnu with the same roots as China, but different customs and culture, was a nomadic people who had long lived and lived in the grasslands of northern China.
How did the Han Dynasty's "peace and pro-policy" come about? Han Gaozu's ancestor Liu Bang "Siege of Bai Deng" almost lost his life, which led to the humiliating "peace and pro-policy". Because of "peace and affinity", the Han Dynasty not only sent princesses to the Xiongnu, but also sent tribute, so it was indispensable to the Invasion of the Border by the Huns.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was established. The xiongnu's threat to the Central Plains not only did not decrease, but on the contrary, it had a tendency to become more and more intense. In 201 BC, The Han Dynasty's Han Wangxin colluded with the Xiongnu, and the two joined forces, hoping to capture Taiyuan together. Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, led more than 200,000 troops north to fight against the Xiongnu and Han Wangxin's army.
However, because of tactical mistakes, Coupled with Liu Bang's own light enemies. Liu Bang and a small number of troops were besieged by xiongnu troops in Baideng City. In the days of the siege, Liu Bang, who had just become emperor and was arrogant, had to submit to the Xiongnu in humiliation, and Liu Bang's wife Lü Yan was also humiliated by the Xiongnu.
Although Liu Bang had lost face in front of Xiang Yu many times, lost his wife and children, after all, it was a political struggle between the same race and the same race. But this was the first time that he had lost his share in front of the nomadic army, and finally he had to use Han women to maintain a short peace, how sad?
These laughter from the barbarians of the northern steppe deeply hurt the dignity of Liu Bang and the Han Dynasty, and this humiliation was also engraved in the heart of the Liu royal family. In the hearts of several monarchs in the early Han Dynasty, the suppression of the Xiongnu was not only a family hatred, but also a supreme political task!
As a nomadic people in northern China, the Xiongnu changed from weak to strong, and from strong to weak, almost accompanied the history of the entire Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty, which had been hurt and humiliated by the Xiongnu, also became more powerful and glorious in the annals of history because of the Xiongnu.
The process of the Long And Long Disappearing between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was drawn into a distinct watershed in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty severely attacked the Xiongnu, and he was full of joy, leaving a page of heavy ink in history. He thus enjoyed the praise of "Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Emperor Song Zu", Han Wu Emperor Yi.
So how determined was Emperor Wu of Han at that time to defeat the Xiongnu?
The vengeance of the ancestors, the descendants will repay!
Emperor Wu of Han was a man of great talent, and he vowed to change this humiliating "policy of peace and pro-peace" and the situation of passive beatings, and was determined to attack the Xiongnu. The family background left by the "rule of Wenjing" and the situation of political communication and people gave Emperor Wudi of Han the confidence and confidence to resist the Xiongnu. Thus, in the second year of Yuan Guang (133 BC), the Han-Hungarian War began, thus opening the most brilliant and magnificent chapter in the life of Emperor Wu of Han.
Emperor Wudi of Han is a real rich second generation of power of the second generation of officials, after the rule of Wenjing, the land of China, has long been not a hundred wastes to be revived in the early years of the Han Dynasty, but a prosperous scene, the country's financial resources have been greatly developed, and the emergence of Emperor Wudi of Han is to push all this to a climax, a strong Wang Chao, what is needed is this inheritance of father and son.
Emperor Wudi of Han has always been grumpy about the matter of fighting the Xiongnu, and Emperor Wudi of Han, who has experienced the failure of the Jianyuan reform, forged the cavalry officer corps of the army for nearly thirty years after forging the Han Dynasty in the hunting ground of Shanglin Yuan, and it is also from here that the Han Wudi emperor, who worked very hard to defeat the Xiongnu, gradually came to the center of the political stage, and finally led the Chinese nation, almost completely defeated the Xiongnu, fought to the ground, and finally fell apart in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Speaking of xiongnu, the Han Wudi Dynasty, the core of the four characters, namely Wei Qing, Huo Fuyi, Sang Hongyang, Li Guang, they from all aspects to promote the Han Wudi emperor's imperial dream, at the same time, they also have a great difference.
In order to defeat the Xiongnu, Emperor Wudi of Han has always focused on selecting a number of suitable generals, although Li Guang, who was born in the general gate, has some very much combat experience, and has served as the taishou of the six counties, but he has a very big problem, that is, he is a general who is good at defense, and his army is not very tactical, after all, it is chaotic, and he is born in the general gate, and he does not meet the conditions for Emperor Wu of Han to establish his own power.
Wei Qing, Huo went ill, the two people were merged in the historical records as the Wei general Hun Riding Column Biography, but also explains the status of the two people, as the founder and user of the Han Dynasty cavalry legion, Wei Qing was the only great general of the Han Wu Dynasty, from the first battle of Longcheng Victory to the last decisive battle of Mobei, Wei Qing attacked the Xiongnu seven times, all of them won victories. Compared with Wei Qing's step by step, Huo Wentai's illness is comparable to a plug-in, starting from the age of 17 as a champion Hou, Huo Wentai has repeatedly attacked the Xiongnu, especially the two battles of the Hexi Corridor, and the last Desert North Victory, Feng Wolf Juxu, this young man who is only 23 years old, as if to tell the world, in front of the God of War, youth has always been his advantage in expanding the territory, Huo Wente's disease from the age of 17 to the first blow to the Xiongnu, to his death, only seven years, His birth seemed to be for the victory of the Chinese nation over the Xiongnu.
From riding slaves to the great general above ten thousand people under one person, this is Wei Qing, who can go to the battlefield at the age of 17, and undertake the heavy responsibility of attacking Hexi, this is Huo Toeyi, both of them are representative figures of the era of Emperor Wu of Han, and also in order to defeat the Xiongnu, the iron partner of Emperor Wu of Han, in fact, from the appointment of these two people, it can be seen that Emperor Wu of Han has a lot of fighting, appointing two slaves from non-aristocratic origins, in that era, itself needs to bear very large social resistance, so Emperor Wu of Han is not just fighting, It was more about assuming his responsibilities as the ruler of the Han Dynasty and having great ambitions.
Under the continuous blows of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu not only lost a large amount of territory, but also occupied many excellent grasslands. The source of the rouge lost by the Xiongnu women sung in the Han Dynasty poetry is actually only a manifestation that the Xiongnu no longer have the strength to confront the Han Dynasty, and the deeper level is that the Han Dynasty continued to attack the Xiongnu, making it difficult for the Xiongnu to return to their heyday for a long time. The surrender of many Xiongnu tribes to the Han Dynasty also deprived the Xiongnu of the possibility of continuing to rise. It is no exaggeration to say that among the emperors in China's feudal history, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was the one who beat the Xiongnu the most, and there was no one.
