He is the youngest god of war in Chinese history, achieving the highest military achievement in ancient times at the age of only 21. With only three battles, he completely reversed the inferior situation against the Xiongnu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, forced the Xiongnu to split, and the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu were far away from then on, and did not dare to spread wilderness in the northern part of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Tian's jealous talent died of illness at the age of 24, and he was Huo Tou.
Huo Went illegitimate was actually an illegitimate son, he was the illegitimate son of Wei Qing's sister Wei Shao'er and The Young Official Huo Zhongru of Pingyang County. Huo Zhongru returned to Pingyang County when his errand was complete, and lost contact with Wei Shao'er at the Princess Mansion of Pingyang in Chang'an. Therefore, Huo Fuyi did not know who his father was until he became a general of the Hussars, and then he did not recognize his father. Wei Zifu was made empress. As a result, at a young age, he became a member of the most important foreign family of the time and lived a high-society life.
In his youth, Huo was "good at riding and shooting", reading the art of war day and night, dreaming of one day being able to lead the army to go out. Soon the opportunity came, and in 123 BC, at the age of eighteen, Huo Wasyi was appointed by Emperor Wu as a lieutenant of The Yao Dynasty, and accompanied the general Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu. At this point, the name Huo's disease began to appear on the stage of history, becoming an immortal legend for thousands of years.
At this time, the Han army and the Han army in the Western Han Dynasty had great progress, and all kinds of troops had progressed, and with the use and promotion of stirrups. The Han army had a large-scale cavalry corps, and its mobility took a qualitative leap. Huo Wentyi's first expedition became famous in the first battle and successfully became a marquis. Huo Fu, who went out on the first expedition, led 800 cavalrymen and ran hundreds of miles, bypassing the main Xiongnu troops and directly raiding the old nest of the Xiongnu. In this battle, Huo Huo went to the sick and killed two thousand enemies, and took the Xiongnu Shan Yu's family and ministers into a pot. After this war, Huo Fuyi was named "Champion Hou".
At the age of 19, He was given a second chance to go on a military expedition. Emperor Wu of Han appointed the nineteen-year-old Huo Fuyi as a general of the Hussars. In the spring and summer, he led two attacks to attack the hun evil kings and the hutu kings who occupied the eastern part of the Hexi (present-day Hexi Corridor and Huangshui River Basin).
In the spring offensive, Huo Fu rode out of Longxi with 10,000 horses, "overtook Wu Yu, begged for Pu, and wade into fox slavery", and turned to the Five Kingdoms of Hexi, with many heavy weights and many people and horses, pardoning those who surrendered, fighting with Shan Yu's son, and almost capturing him alive. After crossing the Yanzhi Mountains again, he fought for six days, marched more than a thousand miles, and finally fought fiercely with the Xiongnu army under the Gaolan Mountain (present-day southern Lanzhou), severely wounding the Xiongnu, killing the Xiongnu King of Folding Lan and the Marquis of Lu, annihilating their elites, and the Hun Evil Prince, Xiang Guo, du wei and so on were all captured. In this battle, the Han army beheaded a total of 8,960 ranks, and captured the Sacrifice of King Xiutu's Heavenly Jinren, which was also quite damaged (the Book of Han is recorded as "Subtracting Seven"). After the war, Huo went to the cause of illness and sealed 2,200 households.
During the summer offensive, Huo Fuyi and Gongsun Ao, the Marquis of Heqi, led an army from Beidi Commandery (北地郡, in modern Huan County, Gansu). Gongsun Ao got lost on his march and failed to make peace with Huo. Huo fuyi could only go deep alone, far away from Huze south of the Junji Mountains, cross the Juyan Sea (in present-day Ejina Banner of the Alxa League in Inner Mongolia), cross the Xiaoyue Clan, attack the Qilian Mountains (also known as the Eastern Tianshan Mountains in present-day Hami, Xinjiang), capture Shan Yu Shan Huan and the chief Tu Wang, and surrender 2,500 of his xiangguo and du wei. In this battle, the Han army beheaded a total of 320,000 ranks of the xiongnu army, captured the five kings of the Xiongnu, the five queen mothers, the Xiongnu Shan Yu and the princes fifty-nine people, xiangguo, generals, pawns, and lieutenants sixty-three, so that the strength of the Xiongnu suffered a great blow, and the Han army itself lost about three-tenths. After Emperor Wu received the good news, he sealed Huo's 5,400 households. After this battle, the Han Dynasty controlled the Hexi Corridor and the road to the Western Regions. The Xiongnu lamented this: "The loss of my Qilian Mountain has made my six animals restless; the loss of my Yanzhi Mountain has made my wife colorless." ”
When Huo went ill at the age of 21, together with his uncle Wei Qing, he led an army of 50,000 each, planning to fight a decisive battle against the Xiongnu. In this battle, Huo Wentai gave full play to the high mobility of the Han cavalry, adopted roundabout tactics, and he personally challenged highly qualified soldiers in the whole army, these soldiers were proficient in various skills, almost all of them could fight with one enemy and ten, Huo Wentyi formed these soldiers into a commando team, perhaps this is the first special force in Chinese history. The Weiqing Corps frontally contained the main Xiongnu troops, and Huo Zhiyi led these elite commandos, without eating or wearing other logistical support, went deep behind the enemy' back, detoured, and marched north for more than two thousand miles, defeating the main force of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King in one fell swoop, and then taking advantage of the victory to pursue, all the way to the Wolf Juxu Mountain. Huo went to the sick to seal the wolf Juxu and landed on the Han Sea. In this battle, Huo Huo went to the sick and annihilated more than 70,000 enemies, captured countless cattle, sheep and horses, while the Xiongnu were far away from the north of the desert and were no longer silent, and there was no longer a Xiongnu royal court in the south of the desert. This war was a shame for hundreds of years of the Snow Han nation.
Emperor Wu of Han built a spacious palace for Huo's illness in order to reward Huo's illness, but Huo went back to the tao: "The Xiongnu (Northern Xiongnu) have not perished, why should they be home?" Unfortunately, however, there was no opportunity to go on expeditions until 124 BC, when he died of illness.
