From being born as a slave rider to a generation of famous generals, the road of riding slaves to the general
Born as a slave rider, his status is low
Wei Qing's mother, Wei Mi, was a slave servant in the Marquis of Pingyang, and his father was Zheng Ji, an official of Pingyang County
。
Wei Qing is an illegitimate son, as well as a half-brother and three older sisters.
Gray tragic childhood
The young Wei Qing was sent back to his father's house to be raised, and because he was an illegitimate child, he was not popular in the Zheng family. His father Zheng Ji also did not like him, only let Wei Qing herd sheep, and his father's attitude made the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family more unscrupulous to go to his father Wei Qing.
They all treated him like a slave and a beast.
Princess Binh Duong's slave rider
Slightly older, Wei Qing was humiliated and returned to his mother and became a riding slave in the Pingyang Princess Mansion.
Sister who entered the palace
Emperor Wu of Han came to visit his sister Princess Pingyang's house, and at a glance he took a fancy to Princess Pingyang's Geji Weizifu. Pampered and brought into the palace.
As Wei Zifu became more and more favored, Empress Chen was jealous. Found Wei Qing to make a gas cylinder and wanted to kill him. When Emperor Wu of Han learned of this, he directly appointed Wei Qing as the jianzhang supervisor and servant.
For nearly a decade thereafter, he followed Emperor Wu of Han. After a long period of contact, Emperor Wu of Han saw Wei Qing's talent,
He was also appointed As Taizhong Doctor. From then on, the trust of Emperor Wu of Han was deepened.
Under the tutelage of Emperor Wu of Han, Wei Qing was extremely loyal to Emperor Wu.
Show promise
As the Xiongnu xingbing troops marched south to Shanggu (上谷, in present-day Huailai County, Hebei Province), Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty divided his troops into four routes and sent troops to fight against the Xiongnu.
Wei Qing, who was just starting out, was appointed as a cheqi general and attacked together with Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, and Gongsun He.
Battle of Dragon City
The four roads were men and horses, and the soldiers were defeated twice, and only Wei Qing was bold and courageous, and went deep behind the enemy lines. He led his troops to attack and hit the Dragon City. Dragon City is the sacred place where the Xiongnu worship their ancestors and is the most sacred place for the Xiongnu. The Qingli army slaughtered more than 700 enemies, known in history as the "Battle of Dragon City".
Although there were not many enemies to behead, the victory was of great significance, and this was the first time that the Han Dynasty had defeated the Xiongnu so far.
Emperor Wu of Han gave the triumphant Wei Qing official the title of Marquis of Guannei.
Kill the enemy again
In 128 BC, when the Xiongnu attacked the border, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Yanmen Pass and attack the Xiongnu in a long drive, in which Wei Qing annihilated thousands of enemies.
Successive defeats drew frenzied revenge from the Huns.
Added officers to the knighthood
The Xiongnu invaded Shanggu and Yuyang on a large scale, destroying the entire army of the famous Han Dynasty general Han Anguo, looting the property of the border people, and robbing more than 2,000 border people.
The Xiongnu were not satisfied with the looted treasures and border people, waiting for the han dynasty emissaries to send the princess again, bringing a rich dowry to make peace.
Unexpectedly, he waited for the army of Emperor Wu of Han. Wei Qing led his army day and night to attack the Yellow River Loop area occupied by the Xiongnu. Wei Qing engaged the Xiongnu soldiers head-on, roundabout flank attacks around the rear of the Xiongnu army for encirclement tactics, cutting off the Xiongnu reinforcements.
Subsequently, they went south to counter-encircle the White Sheep King and the Lou Fu King of the Xiongnu who were trying to reinforce.
The army captured thousands of Xiongnu alive and reclaimed the Hetao region, which was the first major victory of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of Han was overjoyed and crowned Wei Qing as Changping Hou.
Fight the Xiongnu again and take the initiative to attack
After stabilizing the retaken Hetao region, Emperor Wu of Han ordered Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu again.
The Xiongnu Right Sage King, believing that the Han army was incompetent and incapable of carrying out long-distance raids, drank and drunk in the barracks. The Han army that was attacked by the raid fled into the wilderness, known in history as the Battle of Gaoque.
After this battle, the Qingguan Bai General.
Life's counterattack
Born inferior to others, his childhood was miserable, and when he was a teenager, he was a riding slave of the Princess House, and his status was still low.
The poor environment and low status could not stop Wei Qing's ambition not to be willing to be with people.
Even if some people evaluate Wei Qing for relying on his sister's nepotism to ascend to the throne, if Wei Qing himself is not without brilliance, the straw bag is one, and the great opportunity cannot be grasped.
From a slave rider to a great general, it is a road of unremitting struggle for self-improvement!
