To improve ourselves by taking the gains and losses of history as a lesson, today, we will still present you with wonderful historical stories - the great work of historiography "History".
It is said that Huo went to the sick to lead the soldiers to fight a war all his life, and once went on an expedition to the Xiongnu tribe, and everywhere he went, he let the other side flee in the wind.
So how bad is the real history of Huo's disease? How could the Huns speak of their central acid in a poem? This tragic song became the only folk song left by the Xiongnu.
01
During the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were very arrogant and often haunted the borders of the Han Dynasty to harass the people. At this time, Emperor Wu of Han sent the young and promising Huo Toyi to suppress it, and almost all the wars in which he participated were invincible, and the miracles were repeatedly built, and eventually Huo Wentyi was praised as the undefeated god of war in the Western Han Dynasty.
Some people say that Huo Fu's illness was even more popular than his uncle Wei Qing, who was also a legendary figure in the Western Han Dynasty, who led the team to kill the Xiongnu in his early years and made a lot of merits, so he was praised by the people of the Han Dynasty.
And to the nephew Huo to go to the disease is a existence of anti-Hungarian mythology.
Why is he a myth? Mainly Huo Went ill at the age of 17, he was appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han, was crowned a lieutenant of the Hun Riding School, and soon followed his uncle Wei Qing to conquer xiongnu and other countries. By the age of 19, he was already famous all over the world, and he also killed the Huns and fled everywhere, and was almost invincible in the northern war, so he was called the "undefeated god of war".
The Huns were very afraid of Huo's illness, which was historically sophisticated.
Around 123 BC, the young Huo Wentyi fought against the Xiongnu army for the first time and returned with a great victory. After that, with fewer victories and more victories, with 800 light cavalry alone, he dared to go deep into the desert, forced the Heavy Cavalry of the Xiongnu, killed more than 2,000 elites of the other side, and successfully killed the grandfather of the Xiongnu leader Shan Yu in the chaos of the war, and the live birds were only in his uncle Luo Gubi.
After his triumphant return, Emperor Wu of Han happily crowned him as the Champion Hou, when Huo Was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Not only that, Emperor Wu of Han also made this young warrior even more important, planning to spend a huge amount of money to build a mansion for him and send some maids to serve him in the past, but Huo went very polite and resolutely did not accept it, saying that it was his duty to kill Kou Weiguo, and also spat out a personal and reasonable saying: "The Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should they be home?"
When Emperor Wu of Han saw him like this, he was no longer embarrassed, and instead advised Huo to go to the sick to see more of Sun Tzu's art of war, but he also said: "In order to make plans at any time, why should we set up ancient laws?" ”
This remark just reflects that Huo Wentai, as a teenager at that time, had his own avant-garde thinking, did not want to stick to the rules, and followed the old routine.

In 121 BC, Huo Fuyi, who had only turned 19 years old, had already achieved fame and was made a great general by Emperor Wu of Han, leading more than 10,000 elite cavalry out of Longxi and attacking the Hexi Corridor.
The famous Hexi Corridor was occupied by two xiongnu leaders, whose names were Called King XiuTu and King Hun Evil, and later Huo went ill to lead his troops to the eastern part of the Hexi Corridor, and was encountering the other side's Xiongnu army head-on, so he did not say a word to start a war on the spot, and finally Huo went ill with 10,000 Han Dynasty light cavalry, killing more than 40,000 Xiongnu people, frightening the other side to flee, leaving a psychological shadow.
After several engagements, the Han army finally succeeded in recovering the Hexi region, and listed the Hexi Corridor as a military fortress, vigorously building fortifications and various institutions to better resist the Xiongnu invasion.
However, the Hexi region has good wind and rain all year round, and the water and grass trees are particularly lush, which is a perfect place for grazing. The Huns used to drive a large herd of cattle, sheep and horses here to graze, but they did not know that since they were attacked by Huo Fuyi, the Huns had since lost this pure natural pasture, so they felt extremely sorry.
Over time, a poem "Song of the Xiongnu" was circulated among the tribes: "The loss of my Qilian Mountain makes my six animals restless; the loss of my Yanzhi Mountain makes my married wife colorless."
From these few short poems, it is enough to see how heroic Huo Fu was in those years, so that the Xiongnu people were frightened and did not dare to violate the Han Dynasty again, so as to use this sad song to remember the loss of land.
Unexpectedly, this "Xiongnu Song" has been handed down to this day, and has become the object of study of aesthetic value by posterity, Yang Jinfang of the College of Literature of Baotou Normal University said that now "Xiongnu Song" has become the "only folk song" left by the Xiongnu to future generations.
Although this poem was collected by the Han Chinese, it has strong steppe ethnic characteristics in terms of content, emotion and other aspects.
It is different from the Book of Poetry, it is not only a sad song of losing a homeland, but also a song that encourages the nation to forge ahead.

This shows how bad Huo's illness is, in fact, his life's record is more than that. In the spring of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (119 BC), the twenty-one-year-old Huo Wentai once again led an expedition, and with 500 million soldiers and horses, he dared to kill the Xiongnu base camp, first severely defeated the Xiongnu King Zuoxian, and beheaded 70,000 enemies.
Then he chased bravely and fought all the way to the hinterland of Mongolia, encountering enemy forces along the way, and slaughtering until the Wolf Juxu Mountain in Mongolia stopped. Then Huo Wentai set up an altar sacrifice on the Wolf Juxu Mountain to thank the Han Dynasty for its heavenly might, so this major historical event became an allusion known to future generations as "Sealing the Wolf Juxu".
It is also said that Emperor Wu of Han was very far-sighted, knowing that with the god of war Huo to assist the Han, the Xiongnu's qi would be exhausted, so he took the initiative to launch a super-large-scale desert war and mobilized the main force of the Han Dynasty to conquer all the tribes of the Xiongnu.
At that time, the supply team of the late Han Dynasty alone was as high as 500,000 people, during which the vehicles and horses lined up in a long line, and there were heavy crushing marks everywhere they passed, and some traces can still be studied to this day. For this reason, Huo, who was the vanguard, was even more powerful, and he pursued and killed the Xiongnu for more than 2,000 miles, and captured 3 Xiongnu emperors and 83 heavy generals, thus causing the Xiongnu state to be seriously injured and unable to escape the defeat.

Although Huo Hero's life is wonderful, it is as short as fireworks, he became famous too early, and he died young at the age of 24. Emperor Wu of Han was very sorry and sad in the face of the fall of this war god nova, and after the pain, he decided to bury huo's bones in Maoling, to make a funeral for his future death, and also posthumously honored Huo to be ill as "Jing Huanhou".
It seems that the Han Emperor was quite superstitious and did not want to lose this young god of war like this, and after his death, he also wanted him to accompany himself, so that he could once again be in the limelight under the Nine Springs.
The "Records of History" records: "The Son of Heaven mourned, sent to the State Xuanjia Army, Chen from Chang'an to Maoling, for the tomb elephant Qilian Mountain."
It can be seen from this that on the day of Huo's funeral, the Han Emperor personally dispatched soldiers and horses, lined up in a line, from Chang'an City all the way to Maoling, sending off many people along the way, and the cries were tremendous.
Because Huo Hadeyi had attacked the Qilian Mountains of the Xiongnu and created great merits, the Han Dynasty deliberately built his tomb to be the same as the Qilian Mountains to commemorate his glorious deeds during his lifetime.
After reading this historical story, it is inevitable to have some feelings, in fact, every time you read the "History", there will be different gains, "History" contains the wisdom of the ancients, "History" is a mirror, you can reflect your own shortcomings and correct them, make yourself more perfect.
Many parents and even teachers have asked me, which books should I start with to understand history? "History" should be the first choice, broadening horizons and cultivating cultural temperament.
As the first general history of ancient China, it records nearly 3,000 years of history.
Lu Xun praised the "History of History": "The historian's absolute singing, no rhyme of the riot." ”
Zhang Jiahua, a famous writer in Taiwan: Read the history of history, become a great instrument!
The "Chronicle of History" is very beneficial, not only to understand history, but also to learn the ability to deal with things in the book, and even to learn from the political and economic strategy and the ability to settle down.
