In 129 BC, the Xiongnu army attacked the border, and Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty sent four large armies to attack the Xiongnu. When the Xiongnu people heard that one of the generals was the brother-in-law of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, they laughed and looked contemptuously, but the result was that they punched their faces, and the Han army directly attacked the Dragon City, the sacred place of the Xiongnu Sacrifice.
He was Wei Qing, a man of humble origins who had been a domestic servant of the Marquis of Pingyang, who attacked the Xiongnu for the first time and was given the title of Guannei Hou for his merits.
This expedition was the first head-on confrontation between the Han and The Hungarians, and the four-way army, only Wei Qing returned with meritorious service. Gongsun He suffered no meritorious deeds; Gongsun Ao suffered serious losses; the Fei general Li Guang was captured by the Xiongnu and finally escaped.
Speaking of Wei Qing, I have to say that his sister, Wei Zifu.
In 139 BC, Emperor Wu of Han visited the Marquis of Pingyang and took a fancy to Wei Zifu. When he returned to the palace, Emperor Wu of Han took Wei Zifu away.
As the saying goes, "One man gets the word, and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven." Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu, and her older brother and younger brother were given official positions. Wei Qing's fate took a turn for the better.
Since then, it has been out of control, according to historical records, Wei Qing has attacked the Xiongnu seven times, and the officials worship the general. Wei Qing's first martial arts show proved to the world the wisdom of Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing's own talents.

As the old saying goes: "The poor are not asked in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." Wei Qing attacked the Xiongnu seven times in succession, and the official worshiped the great general, and he was already famous, which was because people may no longer care about the servant Wei Qing, but the great general Wei Qing.
The rise of Wei Qing is more about his own ability. The Zizhi Tongjian says that Wei Qing is "good at riding and shooting, and his material strength is amazing" and "he has handsome materials". It is not difficult to see from them that Wei Qing is good at riding horses and archery and treats soldiers well.
When the opportunity comes, will I be able to realize my dreams?
I am @ Water Moon to read history, follow me and look forward to sharing it next time.
