Huo Wentai was an outstanding general of the Han Dynasty in China, who had made great military achievements for Emperor Wu of Han in attacking the Xiongnu, and became a powerful general under Emperor Wu of Han at a young age, but unfortunately, The Heavenly Justice was not beautiful, Huo Wentong was only twenty-three years old, and he died young, and died of illness on the way to attack the Xiongnu.
The relationship between Emperor Wu of Han and Huo Fuyi has always been very obscure, and general Huo Fuyi was not from a famous family but was heroic and handsome. At the age of sixteen, he was named a great general, which could not help but make the world wonder and arouse everyone's infinite speculation.
Once, in the process of arranging for the generals to go up the mountain to hunt, Huo Wentyi secretly shot and killed Li Gan, the son of the great general Li Guang, which caused Emperor Wudi of Han to be furious, broke Huo's bow and arrow on the spot, and had People beat Huo to be sick.
First, Li Guang's suicide led to an incident
The Biography of Yu Xinglie records anecdotes about several emperors in the early Han Dynasty, and also tells the stories of Huo Fuyi, Wei Qing, and Li Guang. Li Guang was a famous general in the early Han Dynasty, during the Han Jing Emperor period, Li Guang performed well in the process of defending the Xiongnu, and was deeply respected by the Han Jing Emperor, and was called "Flying General" by the soldiers of the Han Dynasty.
General Li Guang was very good at defending his homeland against aggression, but he was not good at attacking, and he was not capable of commanding a large army to travel long distances to conduct large-scale operations. After Emperor Wu of han ascended the throne, he opposed the defensive tactics of successive emperors against the Xiongnu and began to take the initiative to attack and lead troops to attack the Xiongnu. In the sixth year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang and Wei Qing and four other famous generals of the Han Dynasty led a large army to attack the Xiongnu in four ways. At that time, Huo Wentai was a subordinate general under General Wei Qing, and he also followed Wei Qing out of the army.
Wei Qing's troops took the Xiongnu capital directly and won a complete victory, and Huo Fuyi was distinguished in this battle and was knighted. However, the troops led by Li Guang encountered the main Xiongnu troops on the way forward, and after many battles Li Guang was defeated and even captured by the Xiongnu in battle, and later when the Xiongnu were relaxed, Li Guang captured the Xiongnu's fast horse and was able to escape back to Chang'an.
Li Guang's expedition can be said to have disgraced Emperor Wu of Han, and after returning to the imperial court, Li Guang was sentenced to death by Emperor Wu of Han and spent a huge ransom to avoid death, but he was dismissed by Emperor Wu of Han and rested at home.
Many years later, Emperor Wu of Han reinstated Li Guang, but Li Guang was repeatedly defeated, which made Emperor Wu of Han very helpless. In 119 BC, the Han army and the Xiongnu launched a decisive battle, and the general Wei Qing ordered Li Guang to lead his troops to encircle the Xiongnu from the flank, but Li Guang actually lost his way in the process of enveloping, and did not see Li Guang leading the troops to fight until the end of the war.
Although this battle was a big victory, Li Guang missed the fighter and faced military law. Wei Qingnian Li Guang had made many contributions to the Han Dynasty in his early years, and could not bear to deal with Li Guang, so he planned to return to the dynasty and hand it over to Emperor Wu of Han for decision.
Li Guang's third son, Li Gan, followed Huo to fight for many years and made great military achievements, and after this battle, he was given the title of Marquis of Guannei for killing the Xiongnu generals. When Li dared to hear of the death of his father Li Guang, he believed that general Wei Qing had deliberately put his father to death, so he was bent on revenge on Wei Qing.
After this campaign, Huo's position in the battle had surpassed that of Wei Qing, Li Guang, and many of Wei Qing's former subordinates turned to Huo Toyi, causing many contradictions within the Wei clique. It was at this time that Li Dared to ambush Wei Qing at the door of Wei Qing's house and assassinate Wei Qing, although the assassination was unsuccessful, he left a deep knife scar on his face.
Wei Qing belonged to a loyal and solid veteran, and after this incident, Wei Qing did not make a sound and planned not to pursue the matter again. But Huo went to the disease in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Second, Huo went to the disease and shot Li Gan
Li Dared followed Huo to Wei Qing's command before the great war, and Li dared to assassinate Wei Qing, which was a capital offense. Wei Qing let Go of Li Gan, but it did not mean that Huo Went sick would let him go, and at this time, Huo Went Sick was trying to kill Li Dare to correct the law for Wei Qing.
Huo's illness was originally an illegitimate son who lacked father's love, and during Huo's childhood, Wei Qing took good care of him, and carefully cultivated and taught Huo to go ill like his biological father, so that he became a generation of famous generals. Huo Was grateful to General Wei Qing, which gave him the insistence on killing Li Gan.
In order to celebrate the victory, Emperor Wu of Han led his generals out of the city to hunt. In the process of hunting, Huo went to the disease to shoot a deer, so let Li Dare go forward to check, Li Dare just pulled the horse, Huo went to the back of the bow and arrow, the arrow penetrated Li Gan's chest, right in the heart, Li Dare fell to the ground, a life whimper.
Emperor Wu of Han, who was not far away, was furious when he heard this, and had been celebrating his victory in battle, but this kind of thing happened, and he ordered people to call Huo huo to get sick, and he broke his bow and arrow on the spot, and asked the generals around him to beat him.
In fact, Huo went to the disease and shot his own subordinate Li Gan, which was also forced. Li dared to belong to his own generals, and if he did not kill Li Dare to avenge General Wei Qing, he would not be able to make his Wei generals obey. In order to alleviate internal contradictions and consolidate his position, Huo killed Li Gan.
Emperor Wu of Han later learned that Li Dared to assassinate Wei Qing was supposed to be a capital offense, so Emperor Wu of Han did not continue to hold Huo responsible for his illness. After all, it was really not worth it to punish his beloved general for the sake of two dead people, just like when General Li Guang killed Baling Wei, Emperor Jing of Han also did not dispose of Li Guang. Moreover, Huo went ill and shot Li Gan, which was supported by the Wei soldiers.
Later, Emperor Wu of Han announced to the outside world that Li Gan was killed by a deer during the hunting process, but this matter still caused a lot of discussion in the imperial court. General Li Guang was a veteran general of a generation, with many forces in the imperial court, and in the mouths of others, he heard that Li Dare was killed by Huo's disease, and each of them gritted his teeth, and in order to protect Huo Toyi, Emperor Wu of Han sent Huo to guard the northern frontier of the desert. The following year, Huo Went fell seriously ill and died in Mobei at the age of 23.
The death of Huo Quyi brought a huge blow to the imperial court, and Emperor Wu of han held a solemn funeral for Huo Quyi, and to this day, Huo Quyi's tomb still stands in the dense forest northwest of Daochang Village, Nanwei Town, Xingping City, Shaanxi Province.
Politics has been cruel since ancient times, and although Huo went ill and had no family members, he and his maid gave birth to a son named Huo Huan. After Huo Died of Illness, Huo Huan died in Chang'an City shortly after, the cause of death is unknown, most likely killed by Li Guang's generals.
3. Summary
Huo went ill all his life and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. It was precisely because Huo went ill to fight against the Xiongnu, so that the north of the Han Dynasty was free of barbarian incursions, the country was stable, and the economy was developed, which ushered in a prosperous and prosperous era during the Han Wudi period, and also laid the political pattern of China's efforts to unify for thousands of years.
Huo went ill to avenge Wei Qing and shot Li Dang, resulting in himself being sent to the frontier and never returning to the imperial court. Fortunately, it did not lead to the disaster of killing, after all, Huo Fu was a meritorious minister, and even the favorite general of Emperor Wu of Han, and had a pivotal position in the mind of Emperor Wu of Han. Although Emperor Wu of Han severely reprimanded Huo to be ill, he would definitely not kill his own powerful general Huo Tou because of a Li Dare.
