Today we talk about the Western Han And Xiongnu, and some cattle people who appear in the middle.

First, in 200 BC, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, was beaten by the Xiongnu's Mao Dun Shan Yu and beaten up in the "Siege of Baideng", and then had to pay the Xiongnu protection fee every year. Liu Bang, such a person who loves to remember revenge, how can he endure, but at the moment, there is no way, he has to say to his children and grandchildren: Your father's and your grandfather's vendetta must remember to repay!

It was not until Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty let Wei Qing and Huo go ill and avenge his great-grandfather's revenge. Why was Emperor Wu of Han so bullish that he was able to lay down people whose ancestors could not beat him? One reason is that during the period of Emperor Wu, the iron smelting technology of the Han Dynasty broke out, the army's weapons were fully upgraded, and the iron equipment was dried up on the Xiongnu's beast teeth and bone equipment.

However, it should be noted that the problem of the Xiongnu was not completely solved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it lasted for more than 100 years. In the end, it was not a victory, it was the Xiongnu who were finally dragged down and divided, but the Western Han Dynasty was almost over, and Wang Mang was about to come out.

Speaking of Li Guang's family, they are relatively weak. Li Guang himself is difficult to seal, really not to wear small shoes, because there is really no military achievement, but he is more famous, a bit like the Internet red general, everyone is uneven for him. Later, Li Guang committed suicide and died, and his son Li Darede felt that it was Wei Qing's responsibility, looked for Wei Qing's theory, and beat up his own leader, who was not happy with Wei Qing's nephew Huo' illness and shot to death with an arrow... Grandson Li Ling, who fought hard against the Xiongnu, surrendered after being surrounded by the Xiongnu, and the whole family was killed by Emperor Wu of Han, and Ma Qian, the Taishi company, was also punished for speaking for li ling. Interestingly, because of this history of Li Ling, many northern nomads later claimed to be descendants of Li Ling and Li Guang.

The Hundred Years' War between The Han and Hungary actually proved that the Central Plains Dynasty was not the best solution for the Central Plains Dynasty to deal with the northern nomads in the form of war. The grassland cannot be cultivated, the Central Plains Dynasty cannot send troops to occupy for a long time, a tribe is destroyed, or driven away, and soon a new group of people will be moved, and even some Central Plains garrisons have stayed in the grassland for a long time, and they have become nomads. The nomadic people are too mobile, in most cases, the Central Plains Dynasty is overwhelmed, occasionally sent out large troops to win the war, but only temporarily depleted the other side's population, in a few decades, a group of people will emerge from the grassland to rob, but the economy of the Central Plains Dynasty is due to war, in the continuous consumption, it is difficult to recover quickly. On the contrary, since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been building the Great Wall and building border passes, which look like a huge cost of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and compared with the wars of tens or hundreds of years, it is much more cost-effective.
