For the cruelty of war, presumably everyone knows something, whether in ancient or modern times, China has suffered countless wars, large and small, and it is countless heroes who rose up to resist the war in exchange for today's peace. In the past dynasties, there are also some heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, in order to protect the country, garrison the frontier, and pacify the war, such as Huo Quzhi, who has extremely outstanding military talent, has a lifetime of fighting horses, and became famous as a young man, leaving many heroic deeds in history, but Huo Qubing also left a lot of unsolvable mysteries on his body, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once sent ten carts of meat to Huo Quzhi, but he didn't let the soldiers eat at all, until 26 years later, everyone understood how clever Huo Quzhi's behavior was, so, What are the reasons for this, we can learn more about them below.
Huo Quzhi's identity is not good
When mentioning Huo Quzhi, I believe everyone has heard his story and thinks that he is a brave and warlike general, but these cognitions are only the glory he has after he became famous on the battlefield, and when Huo Qubing was born, he was just an illegitimate child who was disliked by everyone. In the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Huo Qubing was born in Pingyang Houfu, his mother was just a small slave, and his father was just a small official, so his status was very low, but as a parent, even if he could not provide an excellent growth environment for his children, he also raised Huo Quzhi with a hard head. Later, Huo Quai's father went on a business trip, and finally lost contact, and Huo Qubing could only rely on his mother for his life, of course, when he was a child, Huo Qubing always thought that he had no father, because he never enjoyed the so-called father's love.
As Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing also had the identity of a relative, and his mother actually married into the Chen family, Huo Quzhi also had a serious identity, but these relationships alone could not make Huo Qubing truly realize his ambitions, in order to be able to change his life, Huo Qubing was very competitive, and he was proficient in riding and archery when he was a teenager, so that his growth was also seen by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he was also extremely valued to him, so, Huo Qubing has become a close servant in his youth, and since then, Huo Qubing has been smooth in his career.
Huo Quai's courage and good fighting are highly used
At the age of 17, Huo Qubing was named the captain of Yao, followed his uncle Wei Qing to Monan, and began to exterminate the Huns, in this war, Huo Qubing led 800 light cavalry directly into the enemy's military camp, so that the enemy was caught off guard, because the two assaults were all successful, so Huo Qubing had a very high reputation in the army, of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very fond of the heroic and warlike Huo Quzhi. However, for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was on the throne, he also needed to be afraid of the high merit, even if Huo Qubing helped him calm the war and exterminate the Xiongnu, but he was also afraid that Huo Quai's growth would pose a certain threat to his throne.
There are many heroes born in the past dynasties, but everyone has a soft spot for Huo Quzhi, mainly because Huo Qubing is a rare national hero. Qin Shi Huang began to rise after the unification of the six countries, and the place that rose at that time was the area of Longnan Dingxi, which was also the world of the Huns, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to resist these Huns, but he did not really conquer this part of the Huns. It was also mentioned before that Huo Qubing achieved great success in the war to exterminate the Xiongnu, and was also reused by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
And two years later, Huo Qubing attacked Hexi as a hussar general, and before that, there were many veteran armies in Hexi, but they did not capture it for a long time, so everyone was not very optimistic about the young Huo Quzhi, and felt that he should not be able to defeat Hexi, but Huo Qubing directly launched an extremely fierce attack on the Huns, and each time he adopted different tactics, and finally killed more than 30,000 enemies, and captured the five kings of the Huns, and soon defeated the Hexi region.
Of course, it is precisely because of Huo Quzhi's behavior that the Chinese regime has completely stabilized in the Hexi region, and even multi-ethnic groups have completely achieved integrated development, so Huo Quzhi is a well-deserved national hero, so that when everyone mentions these heroes, the first thing that comes to mind is Huo Quzhi.
Huo Quzhi was very clever in the face of temptation
After controlling Hexi, Huo Qu's ability once again made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty jealous, because the two could only communicate through letters, so they also had a lot of suspicion between each other, and later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't hold his breath and directly tested it, and sent ten carts of meat to him, and the perennial army couldn't resist the temptation of these meats, but Huo Qubing did not send these meats to the soldiers, but let them stink. Everyone doesn't know about Huo Quzhi's behavior, but in fact, Huo Qubing is also very clever in doing this, because he has always felt that when the monarch and the minister get along, they must make the king feel at ease.
Of course, you must be cautious when doing anything, all these meats given by the emperor are given to Huo Quzhi, that is to say, these are all personal items that belong to Huo Qubing alone, if Huo Qubing shares these items with the soldiers, then in the emperor's view, Huo Qubing is enveloping the soldiers, wanting to grasp the dominance of the army, and even the ultimate goal is to stand on his own, so Huo Qubing also understood the temptation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his approach also reassured Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and after 26 years, Huo Quzhi's uncle Wei Qing and others were all beheaded in the witch curse, but Huo Qubing was not affected in any way, and it was precisely because of this incident that everyone understood how clever Huo Quzhi's choice was at that time.
In the past dynasties, there are countless brave and warlike generals who have defended the country for the emperors, but as an emperor, they are always frightened, afraid that these generals will overshadow the lord and even threaten their own status, so they will also use various methods to constantly disintegrate the power in the hands of the generals, which also makes many generals chilled, of course, this also proves that there is never the ultimate trust between the monarch and the minister, maybe only interests.
From the story of Huo Quai, it can also be found that as a general, he must not only be brave and good at fighting, use soldiers like gods, but also be proficient in strategy, and know the emperor's mind well, for example, Huo Qubing is very clever in the face of the temptation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which directly reassured Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time saved himself and his family.
