Emperor Wu of Han's empress Wei Zifu and the nephew of the great Sima general Wei Qing, and the half-brother of the great general Huo Guang of the great sima - Huo Qubing, was a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty.
He was flexible in the use of troops, paid attention to strategy, did not adhere to ancient methods, and was good at long-distance raids, rapid raids, and great detours, large interspersions, and annihilation battles, making significant contributions to the military expansion during the Han Wudi period.
However, such a famous general is only ranked third among the top ten famous generals recognized by the Han Dynasty, so who are the top two?
Han Xin topped the list of the top ten famous generals of the Han Dynasty, and it is known that he came from a grassy background and had a bumpy career, but he was not used to follow Xiang Yu in his early years. Xiang Yu despised his past humiliation under the crotch, so he missed a brave and resourceful general. Liu Bang recruits talents and attaches great importance to Han Xin, he values his talents and never cares about Han Xin's humble origin.
Under Xiao He's recommendation, Han Xin followed Liu Bang to make great contributions to the Han family and became the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, during which Han Xin was famous and prestigious, with many allusions, Ming Xiu and Chen Cang, confirming that Han Xin was not only brave and good at fighting, but also resourceful. Liu Bangdingguo waited for Han Xin's power, but he did not know how to converge, "strangling rabbits and dead lackeys to cook", Han Xin finally had a disagreement with the King of Han.
The second place is famous. Wei Qing was an important hero in quelling the Western Han border turmoil, during the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were unseen and arrogant, and his wolf ambition made the Han king angry, sending Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to attack the Xiongnu and recover the Central Plains occupied by the Xiongnu, Wei Qing was decisive and heroic, fought against the Xiongnu without sparing, and used ingenious tactics to force the Xiongnu to retreat to the northwestern frontier to protect the peace and prosperity of the Western Han border.
Ranked third among the top ten famous generals of the Han Dynasty, he was sent to fight against the Xiongnu with his uncle Wei Qing during the Han Wudi period, he came from an extraordinary background, his aunt Wei Zifu was the empress, and carefully supported from a young age, so that the 18-year-old Huo Qubing could follow the Western Han generals to fight on the battlefield, Huo Qubing lived up to expectations and won the first battle. Emperor Wudi of Han admired Huo Qubing and made him a hussar general, and when he and Wei Qing fought against the Xiongnu, the two cleverly cooperated, and the troops entered Mobei in two ways, and Huo Qubing marched into Wolf Juxu Mountain, which is the origin of "Feng Wolf Juxu".
The fourth place among the top ten generals was Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu is a hero in troubled times, he has high ambitions and lofty ambitions. In order to clear the obstacles, Liu Xiu and Liu Yan joined forces to get rid of Wang Mang's party, and then uprooted the Green Forest Army, Chimei Army and other civilian forces. After that, Liu Xiu added his yellow robe and became the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After sitting on the throne, Liu Xiu was also a well-known military strategist and politician in the Han Dynasty, although he did not lead troops to fight, but he could always make key arrangements to protect the stability of a country.
The fifth is Wu Han, a heavy minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, whose talent is not inferior to Han Xin. Wu Han was a member of Liu Xiu's fierce generals who had followed Liu Xiu for many years and had long become his right hand. In the process of Liu Xiu's ascension to the throne, he contributed to the situation and paved the way for him. Liu Yong, Dong Xian and other eunuch forces were removed in Wu Han's elaborate scheme.
Zhou Yafu ranked sixth among the top ten famous generals, although not many people know this name, but his merits will never be indelible, and he has made countless contributions to the Western Han Dynasty, and the continued prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty is inseparable from it. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, the parties of the imperial court were constantly strife, the power of the princes gradually increased, and many people rebelled in an attempt to compete with the central government.
Zhou Yafu used the exquisite art of war to rationally deploy battles, quell the rebellion of all parties, and set up great works for the Han family. But in the end, due to suspicion, the monarch was divorced and died unjustly.
The seventh Zhao Chongguo was also a hero in the fight against the Xiongnu during the Han Wudi period, and he was familiar with the art of war and the use of military forces since he was a child. On the battlefield, Zhao Chongguo terrified the Xiongnu. In his later years, Zhao Chongguo's morale was not reduced, and he was still powerful, and after successfully capturing the Xianzero Qiang tribe, Zhao Chongguo did not oppress the people in the ethnic minority tribes, and even sincerely persuaded.
After that, Zhao Chongguo stayed here, taught the people to settle the field, not only to solve the problem of food and clothing for the army, but also to save a lot of land resources, the tribal people trusted Zhao Chongguo very much, many people were determined to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and then lived with peace of mind.
The eighth place is Ban Chao, who wrote from Rong. After Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, with his outstanding talent and extraordinary courage, King Shanshan's fear of the imperial court was made. Under Zhang Qian's sincere persuasion, he voluntarily submitted to the imperial court and bowed down. When Ban Chao heard this, he also wanted to make meritorious achievements, but he was unwilling to rule the world like his brother Ban Gu, so he cleverly proposed the tactic of "destroying and destroying" to solve the rebellions in the Western Regions, and made great achievements for the Han Dynasty.
The ninth place is the foreign Qi Dou Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Xian was born quite high, was a powerful eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once had no one in sight, and even intended to assassinate Liu Chang, a major minister of the imperial court, after being arrested and imprisoned, he regretted not starting out, determined to change his heart and face, and made meritorious achievements. So Dou Xian pleaded with the Xiongnu rebellion to quell the Xiongnu rebellion.

The last of the ten famous generals of the Han Dynasty was named Ma Yuan, also known as Ma Fubo. He had high ambitions and was determined to serve the country. After submitting to Liu Xiu, he quelled many riots for the Han Dynasty, and Qiang Di, Wuhuan, and Lingnan all returned to the imperial court under his extraordinary strategy, and Liu Xiu expressed his appreciation and admiration for Ma Yuan, promoted him to a knight, and Ma Yuan became famous.
Many people came to help Ma Yuan, and he only said: "Man Khan, big husband, the shroud of Mag is the most honorable." "Ma Yuan was still loyal to the imperial court, and he still insisted on marching south to Wuximan, and finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the shroud of Mag, and his name was forever engraved among the famous generals of the Han Dynasty.
