Good troops are managed, not habitual. Huo Wentai was different from Li Guang, who loved soldiers like sons and sympathetic soldiers, but such a unit had no combat effectiveness and only knew how to escape when facing the Xiongnu, so Li Guang was a good brother, but not a good general or a good leader. Let's look at Huo's illness again, this grandfather has been pampered since childhood, has not suffered any hardships, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a generation that grew up in a honeypot. But Huo Wentai was not a deposed generation, and the leader he followed was Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Although Huo Wentai entered the army by relying on the status of a foreign relative, he relied on his own ability to be noble, which was different from Deng Tong, Dong Xian, Han Yan and many other faces.
Huo went ill and attacked the Xiongnu 6 times, two of which were the auxiliary generals of the general Wei Qing, and 4 times were the status of the main generals. He killed and captured more than 110,000 Xiongnu soldiers, and prompted the Hun Evil King, who was stationed in the west of the Xiongnu territory, to lead tens of thousands of Xiongnu to surrender to the Western Han Dynasty. It can be said that... Under the rotational attack of Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi's two uncles and nephews, the Xiongnu soldiers were annihilated and nearly 180,000 captives. For a time, the elite Hun divisions that could sweep across Eurasia were almost exhausted, which also caused the Huns to move westward, and in the next few hundred years, the Huns posed a great threat to the countries of Central and Western Asia and Europe. But why did the soldiers fight without mercy under the leadership of a general who didn't love soldiers so much? There are two reasons: First, the soldiers are ultimately loyal to the Han Dynasty, not to the Hussar generals. Second, in the general brigade, the distinction between rewards and punishments is more important than loving soldiers such as sons! For it can bring glory to those who are truly capable.
In the military, it is normal for generals to "rough" soldiers sometimes, and it is not considered to be "beating soldiers". For example, soldiers who have experienced at least 24 consecutive hours of camping and training will have a deep recess, and once they stop eating, many officers and men will fall down and fall asleep, neither remembering nor eating, at which time the commander will move roughly, kick a few feet at the soldiers who cannot get up, and urge them to eat as soon as possible. Therefore, there is definitely such a phenomenon of "beating soldiers" in the barracks of Hodge's disease, but it will not be hated by soldiers.
The Book of Han also affirms this: "The great general's deceased men went to ride more and more horses, and they won the official title, but Ren An refused." " The nature of seeking advantage and avoiding harm, following Huo to go out on a campaign to serve the country, can be promoted to a higher rank and get rich! " In feudal society, individuals who step into the military are almost the only way out to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and the heroic and good warrior Huo Quyi naturally knows this, so he is trying to improve the soldier's personal struggle intention, believing that the soldier understands. So no one mutinied.
