Huo was born in the first year of the Jianyuan Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty (140 BC), and was the illegitimate son of Wei Shao'er, a slave girl in Pingyang Province, and Huo Zhongru, a minor official in Pingyang County. In those days and even in today's society, illegitimate children are not easily accepted by the world.
In the second year of Jianyuan (139 BC), Wei Shao'er's sister Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu of Han, and the whole family was blessed. In the first year of Yuan Shuo (128 BC), Wei Zifu was made empress, so Huo Zhiyi became an imperial relative at an early age and lived a high-society life. Whether a person can become a great instrument, external factors are very important, and internal factors play a decisive role. As a child, Huo Fu seemed to understand this truth, and when he was a teenager, he followed his uncle Wei Qing around the barracks, listening to his uncle's military strategy and learning to ride and shoot. Emperor Wu of Han was very fond of Huo Qi's illness, and not only made him his own close attendant, but also wanted to personally teach Huo Fu's grandson and Wu Qi the art of war, but he was euphemistically resigned. It can be seen that obedient children of any era are liked.
In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo (123 BC), huo Fuyi, who was only 17 years old, was appointed by Emperor Wu as a lieutenant of Yao Yao and accompanied his uncle Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu. Wei Qing originally intended to let Huo Go Sick follow him to the battlefield to temper, but he did not expect that Huo Go Sick would appear as a full-level trumpet. He personally led 800 cavalry, ran around the rear for hundreds of miles, directly attacked the old nest of the Xiongnu, annihilated the enemy of 2,000, including the Xiongnu's Xiangguo, Danghu and other senior administrators, and at the same time beheaded the Uncle and Grandfather of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi, and captured Shan Yu's uncle Luo Gubi, twice winning the whole army. After the war, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cut Off Luyang Township in Nanyang County as the Champion Houguo, and Feng Huo went ill as the Champion Hou. This is the famous Battle of Dingxiangbei in history, and Huo went to the first battle of Fenghou.
In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (121 BC), Emperor Wu appointed the 19-year-old Huo Fuyi as a general on horseback and went to battle in Hexi. The battle was divided into two offensives in the spring and summer. In the spring offensive, Huo Went sickly led 10,000 horsemen to fight in the Five Kingdoms of Hexi, broke through the city of Hutu Wang, captured the small jin people of the Xiongnu sacrifice to the heavens, and then rushed for more than 1,000 miles for 6 days without stopping, engaging the Hun Evil King's department, breaking 5 tribes of the Xiongnu and annihilating 9,000 enemies. During the summer offensive, Huo Andi and Gongsun Ao, the Marquis of Heqi, led their troops from Beidi Commandery (北地郡, in modern Huan County, Gansu) to march separately. However, Gongsun Ao got lost and did not arrive at the meeting site for a long time, Huo went ill and immediately made a decision, went deep alone, annihilated 30,000 enemies, and captured more than 130 people in total, including the five kings of the Xiongnu, the five queen mothers, Xiang Guo, the generals, and the pawns, forcing the Hun Evil King to surrender to the Han Dynasty with 40,000 troops. After this battle, there were almost no More Huns on the northwestern frontier. Since then, the Han Dynasty has controlled the Hexi Corridor and opened up the road between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions.
In the spring of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (119 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi, who was 21 years old at the time, to lead 50,000 cavalry to fight in northern Mobei. At the beginning of the decisive battle, Wei Qing and the Xiongnu clashed with the main force, huo fuyi took advantage of this leak prevention, led his troops to drive straight in, marched north for more than 2,000 miles, defeated the main force of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King in one fell swoop, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue it to Wolf Juxu Mountain (in present-day Mongolia), held a heavenly ceremony at Wolf Juxu Mountain, held a sacrifice ceremony at Guyan Mountain (north of present-day Kent Mountain in Mongolia), and marched to Hanhai (present-day Lake Baikal, Russia). In this battle, Huo Huo went to the sick and annihilated 70,000 enemies, and captured countless cattle, sheep and horses. After that, "the Xiongnu were far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert", and this battle also completely reversed the humiliation of the Han Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. After the war, Emperor Wu built a mansion for Huo to be sick in order to reward him, but Huo Wentyi replied to the famous sentence "The Xiongnu have not perished, why should they be home".
In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (117 BC), Yi Zhishan refused to submit to Han, and Emperor Wu of Han once again mobilized for war, determined to annihilate Shan Yu's main force. However, in the process of preparation, perhaps because of the fatigue of leading the army many times, and being in a difficult environment for a long time, Huo Wentai died prematurely due to illness at the age of 23. Emperor Wu of Han was thus forced to stop fighting against the Xiongnu. After Huo's death, Emperor Wu allowed him to accompany maoling and gave him the nickname "Jing Huan", taking the meaning of "Wu and Guangdi" to show that he defeated the enemy and served far away, fought heroically, and expanded his territory.
Although Huo's life was short, it was as bright as starlight. He used his strength to perfectly explain to the world the importance of ability. No matter what your origin is, as long as you are willing to work hard and seize the opportunity, you can also get ahead.
