Wei Qing's military thought and practice showed his excellent command ability, he commanded the cavalry in the desert to fight, successfully dealt with the threat of the Xiongnu, Wei Qing shocked the enemy army on the battlefield, but in the court, he did not tend to cling to the power scheme, maintained the integrity of the character, he was known for his diligence and compassion for the soldiers, won the hearts of the people, selfless dedication, and became an outstanding general during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Fighting side by side with Wei Qing is also his nephew, who is also the right-hand man of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is Huo Quzhi, Huo Qubing was also born in Pingyang County, Hedong County, and Wei Qing, like Wei Qing, he became a captain of Yao at the age of eighteen, led 800 cavalry into the desert, twice won the whole army, and was named the champion Hou.
This young general was promoted to hussar general, commanded two battles of Hexi, successfully struck the right of the Xiongnu, and laid the foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to solve the problem of the northwest frontier.

After this battle, the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in Monan, which laid a solid foundation for the Han Dynasty to seize the initiative.
The military exploits and military talents of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have been praised by later generations, and their military thinking and strategic practice have had a profound impact on later military development.
Wei Qing's humility and loyalty, Huo Quzhi's wit and courage constitute a heroic hymn, and their deeds are like a magnificent historical picture, inspiring future generations to dedicate themselves to the country and fight for peace.
Intrigue and rise in the Han-Hungarian War
In the ancient desert land, under the rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the threat of the Xiongnu has always been a major problem plaguing the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was determined to solve the problem of the Xiongnu, and sent two mighty generals, Wei Qing and Huo Quai, each to lead an army of 50,000 to start a life-and-death decisive battle.
Wei Qing came from a humble background, he was a shepherd boy when he was a teenager and endured hardships. He was a slave in the palace of Princess Pingyang, and by chance he was promoted to Jianzhang Supervisor and Servant, and was finally promoted to Taizhong Doctor, and Huo Quzhi, also born in Pingyang County, was Wei Qing's nephew, and became a captain of Yao at a young age, and has always been trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his outstanding military talents.
In this year, the Han army fought against the Xiongnu, Wei Qing went head-to-head, although he had a slight advantage, but the price was tragic, and Huo Qubing won a big victory on the other battlefield. He not only captured and killed a large number of Xiongnu nobles and soldiers, but also carried out Zen ceremonies in the Wolf Juxu Mountain and Guyan Mountain in the territory of the Xiongnu, sacrificing heaven and earth, and announcing absolute victory to the hinterland of the enemy.
However, the treatment after the victory was very different, Wei Qing was not rewarded because of his inconspicuous military achievements, Huo Qubing not only received his own reward, but also many generals who followed him were also knighted and marquised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In order to balance the treatment gap between Wei Qing and Huo Quai, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately set up the position of "Great Sima", so that the two generals could share the honor of Great Sima and sit on an equal footing with the head of the hundred bureaucrats.
The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved Huo Qu so much is self-evident. It was under the command of Huo Qubing that the center of activity of the Xiongnu was squeezed to the north of the desert, cutting off the strategic advantage of the Xiongnu, and the Han Dynasty began to grasp the initiative.
This is not only reflected in official positions and salaries, but also in the game of political forces. Wei Qing is declining, and Huo Qu's illness is becoming more and more valuable. Many people who tend to be inflammatory, have left Wei Qing and taken refuge in Huo Quai, once they get the favor of Huo Quai, they can quickly get the official title.
After this battle, the Xiongnu fled far away, but this was not an easy victory, the Han army suffered heavy casualties, 140,000 war horses when they went out, and less than 30,000 horses were left when they returned, and the injuries of the soldiers were countless, and there were always huge sacrifices behind the war.
The significance of this battle lies in the fact that Huo Qubing used practical actions to change the strategic advantage of the Xiongnu over the Han Dynasty, and provided a solid foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to challenge the Xiongnu. After Huo Quai's death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held a large-scale and high-standard funeral for him and buried him next to Maoling. The Maoling Tomb was originally a mausoleum built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for himself, and now Huo Quai's illness rests in it and has become a heroic place of the Han Dynasty.
Wei Qing was shortly after Huo Quai's illness, Emperor Wu gave him the nickname "Lie" and allowed him to be buried with Maoling, Wei Qing's tomb is similar to Huo Quai's tomb, both are located in the northeast corner of Emperor Wu's Maoling of the Han Dynasty. These three outstanding historical figures, who fought on the battlefield during their lifetimes to solve the Xiongnu problem, and lay down in Maoling after their deaths, jointly constructed this glorious chapter of history.
In the long river of Chinese history, the heroic deeds of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are like bright stars, shining brightly. They were not only the meritorious generals of the Han Dynasty, but also the heroes of the country, setting a noble example for future generations. In that era of heroes and wars, they wrote their own glorious legends with their perseverance and military talents.
However, this history also teaches us about the cruelty and cost of war. In the process of defeating the Xiongnu, the Han army not only paid a heavy price for casualties, but also caused countless people to be boneless.
Although Wei Qing and Huo Quai's lives were full of glory, they also died in the war, leaving endless regrets. Although Huo Qubing was only twenty-four years old, he showed extraordinary military talent in his short life and made great achievements for the expansion of the territory of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing was known for his humility and loyalty, and made seven attacks on the Xiongnu, making great contributions to the victory of the Han Dynasty on the Xiongnu issue during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Hero of the Han Dynasty: Wei Huo Xie Xiongnu
In the long history of ancient China, the Han Dynasty paid a huge price to solve the Xiongnu problem, Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, two heroic generals, in that era of flying horses and halberds, jointly conquered the Xiongnu, but the sacrifice behind it was huge and cruel.
The army led by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing brought 140,000 war horses with them when they went out on the expedition, but when they returned after the war, there were less than 30,000 left.
This huge loss is not only a cold statistics in numbers, but also a true portrayal of the life and death of countless soldiers under the command of Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, who left the blood of youth and the tears of countless sacrifices in that vast Gobi Desert.
Of course, not only the war horses, but also the blood of those unsung heroes soaked this ancient land. The poets of the Tang Dynasty left behind "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither" has now been profoundly confirmed in this tragic war. If you put pen to paper, you may be able to get the honor of being a marquis, but this is not easy to obtain. Victory on the battlefield came at the cost of the sacrifice of tens of millions of people, and behind the name of each feudal marquis, there were countless broken families and parting of flesh and blood.
During the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were known as the right-hand men of the Han Dynasty, and together they solved the Xiongnu problem, but they also paid a heavy price for it. Four years after Yuan Hunt, Huo Qu's statistics could no longer continue to increase because he died young.
The death of the young general became a sad end to those heroic years. The coincidence of history is that the year of his birth and death is like the arrangement of fate, and the year Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he fell to the ground. Soon after the Xiongnu problem was resolved, he died early. This is the ruthlessness of history and the tragedy of heroes.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expressed his deep sorrow over the death of Huo Quzhi and held a grand funeral, the young general was buried next to the mausoleum Mao Mausoleum that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had carefully built for himself, like a bright star eclipsed in the night sky, and Huo Quzhi's tomb was designed in the shape of Qilian Mountain, which was the highest reward for his exploits in the great destruction of the Xiongnu. In order to show his deep affection for this young general, Emperor Wu of Han buried him next to his mausoleum, as if to accompany him forever.
Wei Qing also closed the stage of life and slept forever on the land of Maoling. His tomb is similar to that of Huo Quai, and the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the northeast corner has become the resting place of these three heroes. Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who used to fight side by side, now sleep side by side. Their tombs seem to be the punctuation points of history, forever recording the glory and sacrifice of the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This land has witnessed their youth and blood and sweat, and also witnessed the end of the Xiongnu problem. There is no longer the sound of war drums with horns and loud horns, but instead the rustle of the wind blowing through the desert, gently telling Wei Qing and Huo Qubing about their magnificent journey. In this place, the grass and trees are verdant, and the lush tombs are silent, as if telling the heroic years. Their names, like melodious ancient music, echo in the corridor of history and will never be erased.
Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and countless soldiers, is the heroes of that era, their deeds stirred the efforts of future generations, they had fought bravely in the Gobi Desert, for the glory of the Han Dynasty, in order to solve the Xiongnu problem, sacrificed their young lives, their glorious deeds are one of the most brilliant chapters in Chinese history, but also the most sincere farewell to that heroic years.
In that silent land, the silence of Maoling is like the last sigh of that period of history, and it is also like an affectionate farewell to Wei Qing and Huo Quai, there is no smoke of war here, only the soft sound of the wind blowing through the desert, telling the vicissitudes of that heroic years.
The deeds of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are forever engraved in the memory of history, and their graves are the most revered testimony of that heroic era, and they are also the holy places to be remembered by future generations. In this land, the heroes sleep forever, but their spirit will never be extinguished, their deeds, like a stirring music, will always be played in the long river of history, inspiring countless descendants, they are the heroes of the times, are the witnesses of history, their light, like the stars over the Maoling, will always shine in the sky of Chinese history.
