In the face of a powerful enemy, he never feared, never flinched, and always forged ahead to fight for the prosperity of the country and the dignity of the nation.
Huo Quzhi's name has become an immortal legend. His story has inspired generations of Chinese sons and daughters to fight for the prosperity of the country and the dignity of the nation. In this era full of challenges and opportunities, we should bear in mind the great spirit of Huo Quzhi and move forward bravely.
01
Huo Quzhi was born as an illegitimate child and was deeply loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Huo Quzhi, a heroic young man of the Western Han Dynasty, was born in the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (140 BC), and was originally the illegitimate son of a female slave Wei Shao'er in the Pingyang Hou Mansion and Huo Zhongru, a minor official in Pingyang County. After Huo Zhongru's term of office expired, he lost contact with Wei Shao'er in Chang'an, leaving the young Huo Qubing to face his fate alone.
When Huo Quzhi was growing up, he never knew the mystery of his biological father, until he became a hussar general on the Weizhen side, and he uncovered this dusty past and reunited with his father.
Time flies, and in the second year of Jianyuan (139 BC), Huo Quai's aunt Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che. More than a year later (from the third year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty to the fourth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, about 138-137 BC), the Wei Zifu family soared and became the nouveau riche of the imperial court. And Huo Quai's mother, Wei Shao'er, had a relationship with Chen Zhang, the great-grandson of Qu Rebellion Hou Chen Ping, and the two eventually got married.
In the first year of Yuan Shuo (128 BC), Wei Zifu was canonized as the empress, and Huo Qubing also entered the upper class society and lived an aristocratic life. From an early age, this valiant teenager showed extraordinary skills in mounted archery.
Once, the Wei family's careful arrangement allowed Huo Quai, who was only ten years old, to perform sword dancing at a banquet. His heroic posture and sword dance were like flowing water, which not only amazed the guests present, but also attracted the attention of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che was deeply attracted by Huo Quzhi's talent and temperament, and immediately promoted him to the head of the personal guard, allowing him to stay in the palace for a long time. This decision not only changed the trajectory of Huo Quzhi's life, but also made him an important member of his family.
In the palace, Huo Quzhi not only dutifully protected Liu Che's safety, but also showed outstanding martial arts and military talents. He was brave and resolute, and he was good at using the art of war, and he won every battle. His performance made Liu Che appreciate him even more, and the relationship between the two became closer.
At a moment of discussion on the art of war, Huo Quzhi uttered the famous saying of the ages: "Gu Fang's strategy is like an ear, and you will not learn the ancient art of war!" This sentence expresses his unique view on the art of war, and he believes that the real art of war lies in improvisation, rather than rigidly following the dogma of the ancients.
After hearing this, Liu Che deeply agreed, and praised Huo Quzhi's wisdom and insight.

霍去病初战匈奴封侯,封狼居胥,一战封神
In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, it was the season of spring breeze and recovery. Huo Quai, only eighteen years old, heroic, was appointed by Emperor Wu as the captain of Yao, brave and vigorous, like a tiger descending the mountain, going to the Huns.
At that time, the Xiongnu repeatedly violated the border of the Han Dynasty, burning, killing and looting, and did all kinds of evil. In order to defend his home and country, Huo Qubing resolutely followed the general Wei Qing to attack the Huns. After Wei Qing received the edict, he granted Huo Qubing the position of a strong man, hoping that he would be able to make great progress.
After Huo Qu's illness received his order, he led 800 light cavalry to smash Huanglong, and resolutely stayed away from the army for hundreds of miles. He went deep behind enemy lines and waited for an opportunity to strike at the Huns. It was his first time commanding an army, but he showed great military prowess and bravery.
After a fierce battle, Huo Qubing killed more enemies than his own losses in one fell swoop, setting an astonishing record. His military exploits were outstanding, including the beheading of high-ranking officials such as Xiangguo and Danghu of the Xiongnu, as well as the killing of the Xiongnu's grandfather Shan Yu Yizhixian's grandfather Ruohou and the capture of Shan Yu's uncle Luo Gubi.
After the battle, in order to commend Huo Quai's heroic exploits, Emperor Wu specially cut Luyang Township in Sui County, Nanyang County, and Linjiaoju (now northwest of Dengzhou, Henan) as the champion Hou State, and named Huo Qubing as the champion Hou.
Regarding the number of food estates that Huo Qubing received when he was crowned the champion, there is a big difference between the "Historical Records" and the "Book of Han", one says 1,600 households, and the other says 2,500 households. However, no matter how much, this shows Huo Quzhi's great military exploits and Emperor Wu's high praise for him.
The story of Huo Quai's illness is like a bright star, illuminating the sky of that era. His bravery, resourcefulness and loyalty became a model and example for generations to come. People praised him as the "God of War", and his name will forever be recorded in history and passed down through the ages.
In this battle in the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, Huo Qubing wrote a legend with his bravery and wisdom. He became a generation of war gods.
In the spring breeze season in the fourth year of Yuanzhen, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave an order, Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, who was in his prime, each commanded 50,000 horsemen, and behind the mighty army, hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers followed closely. They set out from Dingxiang and Daijun respectively and went deep into the north of the desert, determined to annihilate the wandering main Xiongnu force in one fell swoop.
The 50,000 iron horsemen led by Huo Qubing were like tigers descending from the mountain, unstoppable. With the general Li Kang and others as colonels, he galloped out from Dai County and Youbeiping County, and advanced more than 2,000 miles to the north.
They crossed the steep Lihou Mountain, crossed the turbulent Gonglu River, and finally met the troops of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King on a narrow road. It was a thrilling battle, with iron riders like dragons, arrows raining down on locusts, and war drums shaking the sky.
In the end, the Han army won a complete victory, capturing the three leaders of the Xiongnu, including the king of Tuntou and the king of Han, as well as eighty-three generals, Xiangguo, Danghu, Duwei and other important officials.
Huo Qubing took advantage of the victory to pursue, and his iron horse swept through the Wolf Juxu Mountain like a violent wind. There, he held a solemn ceremony to worship the heavens, and held a Zen ceremony in Guyan Mountain. Their troops are directed at the North Sea, which is Lake Baikal in Russia, known as the "Han Sea".
In battle, Huo Qubing was known for his wisdom and bravery. He is good at using the terrain and flexibly deploying his forces to attack the enemy with a thunderous force. His subordinates are also very brave and brave. In this battle, although the Han army suffered heavy casualties, it ultimately achieved a decisive victory.
After this battle, the Han army beheaded 70,443 levels, and although it also suffered 30% casualties (according to the "Historical Records"), this brilliant victory completely washed away the Xiongnu forces in Monan.
After the war, the Xiongnu lost control of the northeast. Huo Qubing migrated the Wuhuan people there to the five border counties of the Han Dynasty, making them scouts of the Han Dynasty and closely monitoring the movements of the Xiongnu. The Han Dynasty required these tribes to visit Beijing every year, and set up the post of captain to protect Wuhuan to ensure that Wuhuan could not collude with the Xiongnu.
When the Han army returned triumphantly, Emperor Wu specially gave him another 5,800 households of food in recognition of Huo Quai's world-class exploits. His subordinates were also richly rewarded, and the right Beiping Taishou Lu Bode, the Beidi Commander Xingshan, the Fulu Branch, and Yi Jijing who followed him on the expedition were all made marquises, and even Li Kang was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei in one fell swoop.
In addition, Emperor Wu also set up the post of Great Sima, so that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing could share the honor of Great Sima. Since then, Wei Qing's power has gradually been overshadowed by the light of Huo Quzhi, and Huo Quzhi has become more and more noble.
And Huo Qubing didn't care about these fames, in his heart he only had the determination to destroy the Xiongnu and guard the Han frontier.

died young, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was grief-stricken
In the sixth year of Yuanzhan (117 years ago), the Xiongnu Yizhi Xianshan proudly refused to be a vassal to the Han, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and once again launched a war mobilization against the Xiongnu, vowing to annihilate the main force of Shan Yu, a shame.
However, God was jealous of the talent, and in the process of preparing for the war, the twenty-four-year-old Huo Quai, who was only twenty-four years old, died of illness due to years of fighting and a difficult environment. It is also rumored that he died because of the plague. This heroic general crossed the sky like a meteor, and the instant splendor illuminated the sky of the Han Dynasty, but also left endless sorrow.
After Huo Qu died of illness, Emperor Wu was grateful for his loyalty and bravery, and decided to let him sleep in Maoling with him. And gave him a very meaningful nickname - "Jing Huan", which means that his martial arts are as brave as a mountain and powerful in all directions.
Emperor Wu was so grief-stricken that he dispatched the ironclad armies of the five counties of Hexi to form a formation and lined up from Chang'an to the tomb of Huo Quzhi in the east of Maoling, in order to express his deep sorrow for this heroic general.
In addition, Emperor Wu also specially ordered Huo Quai's tomb to be built into the appearance of Qilian Mountain, in order to show his great military exploits in conquering the Xiongnu. This move is undoubtedly the highest respect and deepest remembrance of Huo Quzhi. His brilliant achievements and outstanding military talents will forever be remembered in the history of the Chinese nation.
Sima Qian once recorded in "Historical Records", "The hussar general is a man who is seldom and does not leak, and he has the courage to do anything." ...... However, it is small and servant, expensive, and not provincial. It means that the hussar general Huo Qubing is a man of few words, and he does not easily reveal his thoughts, but he acts boldly and dares to take responsibility. At a young age, he became a servant and a noble man, but he never ignored the hardships of his soldiers. This character and quality enabled him to deal with the war calmly, command with determination, and become a famous general of a generation.
In general, although Huo Quzhi's life was short, it was full of war and honor. With his extraordinary military prowess, fearless courage, and perseverance, he made a significant contribution to the expansion of the Han Dynasty.
His exploits not only demonstrated his personal talents, but also demonstrated the strength and potential of youth. We should learn Xi from his spirit of forging ahead bravely and defying hardships and dangers, and at the same time, we should also reflect on the terrible nature of war and cherish a peaceful and stable life.
