The Xiongnu were an ancient nomadic people in northern China, mainly active in the northern part of the Central Plains Dynasty. During the Warring States period, the Qin, Zhao, and Yan kingdoms built the Great Wall to defend against the invasion of the Xiongnu in the north. The Qin Dynasty unified the Six Kingdoms, connecting and reinforcing the Great Wall of Yan, Zhao and Qin during the Warring States period to form the Great Wall as we know it today.
Great Wall of Qin
At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu's Mao Dundan unified the northern steppes for the first time, established a powerful Xiongnu Empire, conquered and controlled most of the western regions such as Loulan, Wusun, and Hujie, and from time to time invaded the Central Plains Dynasty.
From the Qin, Zhao, and Yan dynasties in the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty (Western Han and Eastern Han), the Central Plains Dynasty has been fighting against the Xiongnu in the north, and countless famous generals have emerged to resist the Xiongnu. Today, Gero will talk about this topic. This article is ranked in chronological order and does not represent actual contributions or historical status. The words of the family are welcome to add corrections.
<h1>Li Mu</h1>
Li Mu was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States and the main general of the Zhao State in the late Warring States period. In the later period of Li Mu's life, he mainly fought against the Qin army, and the main object of battle in the early period was the Xiongnu. He was stationed in Yanmen County, the State of Zhao, for a long time to guard against the Xiongnu.
In the early days, Li Mu adopted the tactics of not being able to hold out, showing cowardice to the Xiongnu, and later taking advantage of the Xiongnu's large-scale attack, he deployed a surprise army, defeated the Xiongnu, and beheaded more than 100,000 enemies. Since then, the northern border of the Zhao state has been peaceful.

Meng Tian is a military family of the Qin State, and his grandchildren have been famous generals of the Qin State for three generations. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Qin Shi Huang sent Meng Tian to "build the Great Wall in the north and defend the fence", leading an army of 300,000 to defeat the Xiongnu and recover the land of Henan, which greatly deterred the Xiongnu. MengTian was therefore known as "the first warrior in China".

<h1>Wei Qing</h1>
The end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty were the period when the Xiongnu were strong. Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, personally led an army of 300,000 to meet the Xiongnu, but he was caught in the plan to lure the enemy deeper. This is the famous "Siege of Baideng". After that, Lü Hou, Emperor Wen of Han, and Emperor Jing of Han all practiced the "strategy of peace and affinity" for more than half a century, but the Xiongnu still invaded the Central Plains from time to time, plundering property and population.
After the recuperation of the early Han Dynasty, especially the "rule of Wenjing", the national strength of the Han Dynasty increased greatly. By the time emperor Wu of Han reigned, the Han Dynasty was strong enough to support a war with the Xiongnu. The appearance of Wei Qing gave Emperor Wu of Han a chip against the Xiongnu, and also gave the Han army a commander who could command thousands of armies and horses. Emperor Wu of Han began to fight against the Xiongnu, and the offensive and defensive posture of the Han and Huns began to change.

Wei Qing was a great general during the Han Wu Emperor period, the commander of the Han army, although he came from a humble background, but the Han Wu Emperor had a discerning eye, was gradually promoted to a senior general, and began to lead the army against the Xiongnu.
At the beginning of the war against Hungary, the four-way army attacked the Xiongnu, but Wei Qing won and won the "Great Victory of Longcheng". Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu in the "Battle of Mo nan" and the "Battle of Mobei", annihilated the main force of the Xiongnu, took countless prisoners, opened up the territory, and the Xiongnu did not dare to invade the south.
Wei Qing achieved seven victories in the battle against the Xiongnu. If Emperor Wudi of Han established the dignity of the Han nation, then Wei Qing was the most powerful helper of Emperor Wudi of Han to achieve this great cause.

<h1>Hodge disease</h1>
Huo Fuyi was Wei Qing's nephew, but his credit was more than that of his uncle. Huo was flexible in the use of troops, good at long-distance raids, big detours and annihilation battles, which was completely different from Wei Qing's calm use of troops (Wei Qing would also run long distances in the early stages, such as the Great Victory of Longcheng).
Huo began to lead troops at the age of seventeen, leading 800 cavalry deep into the desert, and then commanded two battles of Hexi, annihilating and capturing countless Xiongnu. In the Battle of Mobei, Huo Fuyi led an army to annihilate more than 70,000 enemies and sealed the wolf Juxu. After Huo went ill, "Sealing the Wolf Juxu" became the supreme honor that successive generations of famous generals dreamed of.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty enfeoffed Hou Huo, a general of the Great Sima Horse, and commanded the Han army with Wei Qing.

"The Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should the family be home" is the famous saying of Huo Fuyi, which is admirable. However, Huo's death at the age of 24 is regrettable and regrettable to the Han Dynasty, but the word "regret" can not be fully expressed.
<h1>Li Guang</h1>
Li Guang's ancestor was the famous Qin Dynasty general Li Xin, who fought against the Xiongnu during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Li Guangcheng successively served as the Taishou of the Seven Counties in the North, and was known as the "Flying General". The Huns feared their reputation and did not dare to invade.
Li Guang was a famous general enshrined in the martial temples of the Tang and Song dynasties.

<h1>Zhao Chongguo</h1>
Zhao Chong guo li shi Han Wu Emperor, Han Zhao Emperor, Han Xuan Emperor three dynasties, is the Xuan Emperor xuan one of the "Eleven Heroes of the Qilin Pavilion" during the xuan emperor. Compared with Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi, Zhao Chongguo's fame may not be so great, but he also made great contributions to the fight against the Xiongnu.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Chongguo accompanied the general Li Guangli of the Second Division to attack the Xiongnu and led hundreds of soldiers to break out of the siege, showing outstanding military ability. During the reign of Emperor Zhao of Han, Zhao Chong led an army to attack the Xiongnu and captured the King of Xiqi.
During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, Zhao Chongguo led an army of more than 1,800 kilometers to attack the Xiongnu, taking countless prisoners. Later, the Xiongnu heard that Zhao Chongguo was disappointed.

<h1>Chen Tang</h1>
Chen Tang's name may not have been heard of, but his famous words can be described as thunderous - "Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished from afar!" This famous quote comes from Chen Tang's letter to Emperor Yuan of Han.
Chen Tang
Chen Tang served as the deputy lieutenant of the Western Regions during the Reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. Originally Emperor Xuan of Han, the Xiongnu Zhi Zhidan, who had already been subordinate to the Han Dynasty, began to fight against the Han Dynasty. Chen Tang falsely passed on the holy will, and together with the Western Regions Capital Protector Gan Yanshou, he sent troops to attack and kill Zhi Zhidanyu, maintaining the stability of the Western Regions.

During the reign of Emperor Ming of Han, Dou Gu served as the governor of Fengche, led an army to attack the Northern Xiongnu King Huyan, beheading more than a thousand people and capturing Yiwulu (present-day Four Forts northwest of Hami, Xinjiang). Later, Dou Gu led his army to defeat the Northern Xiongnu army in the White Mountains on the pushi sea.
Dou Gu also wrote to suggest that Emperor Ming of Han reset the Western Regions Capital Protectorate and strengthen the management of the Western Regions.

<h1>Dou Xian</h1>
Dou Xian was a general during the Reign of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 89 AD, Dou Xian led an army to unite the Southern Xiongnu and the Western Regions that were annexed to the Han Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu at Jiluo Mountain, and later carved a stone on Yanran Mountain to record merit, known in history as "Yanran Le Stone".
Two years later, Dou Xian again attacked the Xiongnu, breaking the main force of the Northern Xiongnu at Jinwei Mountain (present-day Altai Mountains) and capturing the Northern Xiongnu Empress. From then on, the Northern Xiongnu no longer posed a threat to the Han Dynasty.
"Yanran LeShi" has become the highest honor pursued by successive famous generals like Feng Wolf Juxu.

<h1>Ban Chao</h1>
Ban Chao was born into a Confucian family, and his father Ban Biao, brother Ban Gu, and sister Ban Zhao were all famous historians. However, Ban Chao threw his pen from Rong, followed Dou Gu to attack the Northern Xiongnu many times, sent envoys and operated the Western Regions for more than thirty years, and made outstanding contributions to the Eastern Han Government's efforts to strengthen the management of the Western Regions.

Before the Qing Dynasty, the main threat facing the Central Plains Dynasty was the nomadic peoples in the north. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty faced mainly the invasion of the Xiongnu. When the Xiongnu wantonly invaded the Central Plains, a large number of good boys, represented by Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi, emerged to resist aggression and defend their homeland.
There is a saying that goes very well, "Every time the Chinese nation encounters danger, there are always such heroes who come forward", just like the emergence of a large number of medical workers represented by Academician Zhong Nanshan during the new crown epidemic.
The Chinese nation has always had such a group of people and such heroes who lead us forward, constantly overcome difficulties, and bravely climb the peak. Such a nation will not take off again and create a better future!
It is the 71st anniversary of the National Day, and there is a feeling! A family's words, but also hope to add corrections!
