The emperor gave 10 carts of meat to the soldiers, and Huo went to the disease and let it stink and did not send it, and it was only after 26 years that he understood how clever it was
As we all know, China was a feudal society in ancient times, and in China's more than two thousand years of feudal history, many dynasties were born, and many emperors and some very famous generals appeared. In ancient times, war was a very common thing, there would be wars in the change of dynasties, there were rebellions in each dynasty, and there were also invasions by other peoples, so war was a very normal thing in ancient times. Since there were so many wars, there must be some generals who defended the family and the country, and there were many very famous generals in ancient times, such as Sun Wu, Han Xin, Yue Fei, Wei Qing, Huo Fuyi, and so on. Today Shusheng is going to tell you a story about Huo's illness on the battlefield, when he went out on the battlefield, the emperor rewarded him with ten carts of meat, but after arriving at the border plug, there was still a lot of meat that had not been eaten, but Huo Wentong's disease would rather stink than give these meat to the soldiers, what is going on? Let's take a look.
When it comes to the Han Dynasty, there is a character that must be mentioned, he is Huo Goyi, Huo Fuyi became famous at the age of seventeen, which is rare in ancient history, and it can be said that it is the peak of his debut. Huo Fuyi can be said to be an example for many generals in later generations, and in his lifetime, he killed 110,000 Xiongnu, including 10 Xiongnu high-ranking officials, and created the legendary cause of opening the land of Hexi and sealing the wolf Juxu.
However, it is such a great general, but the evaluation in later generations is not very high, for example, the description of Huo Fuyi in the "History" is to say that he is a well-respected brother of the gongzi, because he is the nephew of Wei Qing and Empress Wei Zifu, who has lived in the court since childhood, and Emperor Wu of Han is very fond of him. And when he was fighting outside, the conditions were also very good, each time he would bring dozens of truckloads of food, which were all meat and polished rice rewarded by Emperor Wu of Han, so even if the march was arduous, Huo's life was still very enjoyable. In the end, if they were not finished, they would be thrown away, but even then he did not reward his men, resulting in his soldiers often being starved. In this regard, historian Lu Simian commented on Huo's illness, saying that she was a mediocre general. But in fact, this practice of Huo's disease is actually a very clever means.
As we all know, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty did many great things in his life, and three of them were relatively famous. The first thing was to repel the Xiongnu, and during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were generals such as Huo Fuyi and Wei Qing, who resisted the Xiongnu in the border area. The final defeat of the Xiongnu was achieved when Huo Fu was in his 20s.
The second thing was the opening of the Silk Road, the prestige of the Han Dynasty spread overseas, and China and the rest of the world established contacts and had a great influence.
If the first two things are the exploits of Emperor Wu of Han, then this third thing is a stain on Emperor Wu of Han, and without this scourge of witches, the evaluation of Emperor Wu of Han in later generations may be better.
After Huo's death, 26 years had passed, and Emperor Wu of Han had launched the scourge of the Witches, which was very widely implicated, and even Empress Wei Zifu, the crown prince, and a group of ministers had died because of this incident. Not only that, even Wei Qing's eldest son Wei Ling died because of this incident, you know, Wei Qing's performance during his lifetime has always been very good, his reputation in the army is very high, and he often eats and lives with soldiers, but it is because of this performance that he attracted the suspicion of Emperor Wu of Han, and in the end, the Wei clan did not survive. However, the Huo family, which was very close to the Wei family, was not implicated, not only that, Huo Guang's younger brother Huo Guang was also valued by Emperor Wu of Han, and after the death of Emperor Wu of Han, he also asked Huo Guang to assist in the government. Therefore, from here we can see that in the heart of Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Fuyi has always been a loyal subject.
The end of the Wei family is mainly because of the merit of the lord, and Huo Went ill and became famous at a young age, and later made countless achievements in battle, Emperor Wu of Han will definitely suspect him, Huo Go disease is very clear about this, so he will use this way to make his reputation become very bad, so that Emperor Wu of Han feels that he will not have any threat, only in this way will he save himself and save the Huo family. And these ten carts of meat were given to Huo by Emperor Wu of Han last time, and if he rewarded these things to the soldiers and used the emperor's things to gain a good reputation, Emperor Wu of Han would definitely be dissatisfied in his heart after he knew it.
Therefore, it is said that everything is deliberately done by Huo Toyi, he is using this way to make the emperor let down his guard against himself, no wonder historians say that This practice of Huo Deyi is really clever, Huo Deyi is not only very outstanding in military terms, but also very proficient in this kind of scheming, but unfortunately he died young, and his legendary life is also very short.
