Therefore, sealing wolves in professional posts has been extended to one of the highest honors of Chinese military commanders by later generations. To achieve the glory of the professional position, there must be at least three standards:
1, the distance of foreign war is far enough.
The straight-line distance from Chang 'an, the capital of Han Dynasty, to Xushan, where wolves live, exceeds 1600 km. Huo Qubing took part in the Battle of Mobei and reached the vast sea as far as possible, which is now Lake Baikal in Russia, with a straight line distance of nearly 2,000 kilometers. In the war, Huo Qubing couldn't walk in a straight line, so the distance of the battle of Mobei exceeded 2000 kilometers.
Such a long-distance war is nothing for today, but in the era of cold weapons, it was definitely the ceiling of the Chinese nation's foreign war at that time. It was difficult to solve the problem of supply and transportation in ancient wars. For the participants in the war, the consumption of such a long-distance attack is huge.
Not to mention the Han Dynasty, that is, Mongolian cavalry after 1000 years, its marching speed was only 80 ~ 95km/ day. Each cavalry must have at least two horses and must carry all the supplies with him to complete the expedition. From this point of view, it is absolutely unprecedented for Huo Qubing to create the meritorious military service of sealing wolves in a professional place in the Han Dynasty.
The result of foreign wars is great enough.
In Mobei alone, Huo Qubing annihilated 70,400 enemies, even more than Huo Qubing's troops, and captured 83 Xiongnu nobles with more than one surname. No matter in which dynasty, this achievement was extremely brilliant and the results were large enough, so it was called "sealing the wolf to occupy the professional".
3. The main body of the war is China and foreign countries.
In Xu Xu, it must be the war between the Huaxia nationality and foreign nationalities, and the internal war in China is definitely not counted. Don't look at the war more than 2,000 years ago with today's eyes, so when Xu Xu discussed sealing wolves, the subjects of the war must be the Huaxia people and foreigners at that time.
Using these three criteria to look at all the military commanders in the cold weapon era in China's history, who can be called a wolf from a professional standpoint?
Han Dynasty: Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Li Guangli, Chen Tang, Dou Xian and Ma Yuan.
1, Huo Qubing
Huo Qubing created a record of sealing wolves in a professional place, mainly relying on the three standards mentioned above. Huo Qubing has participated in many long-distance raids, such as the Battle of Hexi. Huo Qubing started from Longxi, passed through Lanzhou and Yongdeng in Gansu, crossed Wushaoling and Rouge Mountain, and fought against the Xiongnu, and went deep into the territory of Xiongnu for more than 2,000 miles, running through the whole Hexi Corridor.
Another example is the battle of Mobei, which is 2000 kilometers deep in Mobei, and the distance is very far. In the era of cold weapons, it is the ceiling. Plus the route back to the army, it's 4000 kilometers back and forth. This long-distance war was unprecedented at that time. Huo Qubing captured more than 65,438+065,438+000,000 enemies in previous wars, and forced the Huns to land tens of thousands of people under Attila and King Xiutu.
In addition, the war in Huo Qubing was a war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, so the record created by Huo Qubing was named Langfeng Juxu, which became the highest record of a military commander.
2. Wei Qing
As we all know, Huo Qubing sealed wolves to occupy a professional position, but few people know that Wei Qing's record is equally amazing. Wei Qing's military capability and leadership are even higher than Huo Qubing's. In the war with Xiongnu, Wei Qing was the first general to defeat Xiongnu in Han Dynasty. This is the Battle of Dragon City. Wei Qing breached the Xiongnu shrine, Wei Qing was captured by 700 people, and the other three armies sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed, which revealed Wei Qing's military talents.
Wei Qing emerged from the clouds in the battle of Henan (northeast of Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia), then made a detour to the west, raided the Xiongnu Aries King and Loufan King, wiped out thousands of enemies, captured 307 1 person, and recovered the whole Hetao area. Wei Qing marched more than 1000 miles, which was a circuitous battle, meeting the three criteria of long distance, great record and fighting against foreign enemies.
In the Battle of Monan, Wei Qing led 30,000 cavalry out of Jilan Pass in Inner Mongolia and raided Xiongnu Right Wang Xian. Wei Qing marched more than 1000 li, surrounded the right Wang Xian, captured 654.38+0.5 million Huns and hundreds of thousands of livestock. In the second year, Wei Qing went out to Dingxiang (northwest of Inner Mongolia and Linger) and killed more than 6,543.8+0,000 enemy prisoners.
In the Battle of Mobei, Wei Qing once again set out from Dingxiang and marched more than a thousand miles north, where he met the main force of Xiongnu Khan. In this battle, more than 9000 people were killed in Wei Qing/KLOC-0. If Li Guang and Zhao Shi lost their way and failed to encircle Hun Khan, Wei Qing might expand the victory. Judging from Wei Qing's record, it fully conforms to the three standards of professional position, but the record is a little worse than that of Huo Qubing.
3. Li Guangli
There are always people who laugh at Li Guangli as a loser. In fact, Li Guangli was the military general in the Western Han Dynasty after Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. Apart from other battles, the most famous battles in Li Guangli's life were two expeditions to Dawan, and the second one was successful.
Dayuan is now Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan. From the Han Dynasty to Dayuan, there were Wanderui and Dayuanfu BMW. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed a lot of good horses because he was fighting against the Huns, so he asked Dayuan for horses. Dayuan disagreed and killed the messenger of the Han Dynasty, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guangli to launch a military operation to obtain strategic materials BMW.
Li Guangli made two expeditions to Dayuan, the first failed and the second succeeded. The distance of Li Guangli's expedition to Dayuan is even farther than that of Huo Qubing's expedition to Mobei. The one-way distance in Huo Qubing is more than 4,000 kilometers, and that in Li Guangli is more than 5,000 kilometers. It is quite difficult to bring all the supplies yourself or replenish them halfway.
You know, at that time, there was no GPS, no mobile phone, and it was not easy to get lost by asking for directions and guides all the way west from the Han Dynasty. Li Guangli not only didn't get lost, but also defeated Dawan, killed Dawan's king, got Dawan's BMW, successfully completed the task and returned to the Han Dynasty safely, which lasted for four years.
Li Guangli's expedition to Dawan was not only an expedition of the Han Dynasty, but also of great significance, which made the reputation of the Han Dynasty spread far and wide in the western regions, made the countries in the western regions fearful, killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, made the national prestige of the Han Dynasty famous in the western regions, and met the three standards of sealing wolves in their professional positions. Therefore, Li Guangli can also be called a wolf in his professional position.
4. Chen Tang
Chen Tang was a famous general at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. "Anyone who openly opposes the Han Dynasty, though far away, will be punished" comes from Chen Tang's letter to the emperor. Chen Tang's greatest achievement was the elimination of Zhi Zhi Khan, a northern Xiongnu.
Chen Tang was the vice captain of the Western Regions Hufu in the Han Dynasty. Together with Gan Yanshou, a commander in chief of the Western Regions, under the guise of the emperor's orders, he enlisted the troops of various countries in the Western Regions and the troops of the Han Dynasty who were wasteland in the Western Regions to crusade against Khan.
Chen Tang set out from Hufu (luntai county, Xinjiang), crossed Qingling to Dawan, crossed Wusun to the border of Kangzhou, crossed Kanchi (now Issyk Kul Lake, Kyrgyzstan) and reached Zhi Zhi City (now Zambur, Jiangbul Prefecture, southern Kazakhstan), marching for thousands of kilometers.
When the Xiongnu Khan was defeated in Zhi Zhi, the Han army breached the city, killed Zhi Zhi Khan and Xiongnu nobles 15 18, captured more than 1000 people, completely wiped out the northern Xiongnu, solved the biggest frontier trouble in the Han Dynasty, and made the western countries submit to the Han Dynasty, greatly improving the national prestige of the Han Dynasty.
Judging from the three criteria for sealing wolves in professional posts, Chen Tang met the requirements: one was an expedition, Chen Tang marched thousands of kilometers, and his record was remarkable. The Xiongnu was killed by Khan, and the other was the victory of the Han Dynasty in foreign operations, so Chen Tang also achieved the military merit of sealing wolves in professional posts.
5. Dou Xian
Dou Xian was a concubine of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his sister was the queen of Zhang Han. She was imprisoned by the Queen Mother because she dared to assassinate a court minister and blamed eunuch Cai Lun. Because she wanted to make amends, Dou Xian asked the army to attack the northern Xiongnu, which inadvertently achieved the achievement of Xerox in Ran Yan.
In 89 AD, Dou Xian, the general who rode chariots, and Geng Bing, the general of the Western Expedition, led more than 30,000 Han cavalry, and made a southern tour of tarquin. From then on, he left the northwest of Dengkou County, Inner Mongolia, joined forces in Zhuoxie Mountain (now Altai Mountain in western Mongolia), defeated the Xiongnu in Luo Ji Mountain (now Ebugen Mountain in Mongolia), killed more than 0/3,000 people and captured more than one million livestock.
The war in Dou Xian broke out for more than three thousand miles. After Dou Xian made great achievements, he ordered Ban Gu to engrave his achievements on Yanran (now Mount Khan in Mongolia). This is the origin of Yanran Le Shi, which is also one of the highest military honors of military commanders. After the war, the northern Xiongnu was completely wiped out in the history of China, while the southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
Dou Xian completely solved the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Xiongnu. His record meets the three criteria of professional position. At the same time, he created another term, Ran Yan Xerox. His achievements are as famous as Huo Qubing's professional stance.
6. Ban Chao
Ban Chao is Ban Gu's younger brother, a famous strategist and diplomat in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His behavior borders on myth. With 36 envoys, Ban Chao took advantage of western countries and made full use of their strength. In the absence of a large-scale crusade against the Western Regions, Ban Chao re-opened the Western Regions' Hufu on his own and became a figure at the same level as the God of War in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In 73 AD, Ban Chao followed Dou Gu, a captain in the car, as an agent to send troops to the Western Regions. This is the first time that the Eastern Han Dynasty used troops in the Western Regions. The Han army defeated the northern Xiongnu who occupied the western regions, reopened the capital of the western regions, stationed troops in the western regions on a small scale, and then returned to China.
The following year, the northern Xiongnu made a comeback, wiped out the garrison of the Han Dynasty in the western regions, and triggered the story of the thirteen strong men returning to Yumen. At this time, Ban Chao led 36 envoys to the depths of the Western Regions. At this time, only Ban Chao and his 36 envoys existed in the Western Regions.
Then Ban Chao used the contradictions of western countries and the afterglow of the Han Dynasty to enlist the troops of western countries that surrendered to the Han Dynasty to attack countries that did not want to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Finally, with his strong personal ability and courage, he conquered the western countries one after another and successfully repelled the Yue family's invasion of the western regions. Ban Chao also sent a special envoy to the Roman Empire, Gan Ying, but it didn't succeed in the end.
In this way, Ban Chao reopened the capital of the Western Regions, which made the whole Western Region submit to the Han Dynasty again. Ban Chao became the first capital of the Western Regions in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Ban Chao conquered the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty thousands of miles away. This is an impossible task in itself, which has great political and military significance and revived the national prestige of the Han Dynasty. Reopening the capital of the western regions is a great achievement, as well as a great achievement in foreign operations. Therefore, Ban Chao fully meets the standard of sealing wolves and lives in a professional place.
7. Ma Yuan
There is a famous saying in Ma Yuan that Xiongnu and Wu Huan are still harassing the north, so they should be invited to attack. When a man dies in the border battlefield, they wear boots and bury their ears. How can he lie in bed and do evil in the hands of a woman?
Now the Huns and Wu Huan are still invading the border of China in the north. I intend to challenge the imperial court, be a pioneer officer and be an ambitious person. Men should die on the battlefield in the frontier wilderness, not in their own beds, and then buried in coffins by future generations. The gentleman died in battle and came back to bury the body wrapped in horse skin. This is something to be proud of.
Wrapped in horse skin has become an idiom, which originated in Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan was a founding hero and a famous soldier in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he participated in many wars. His most famous battles were three times, one was to attack Wuhuan in the north, the other was to rebel in Xiping and Qiang, and the third was to cross his toes in the south.
What I'm talking about here is the crossed toes in the south, which is Vietnam today. It belonged to the Han Dynasty. Cross-toed women recruited to revolt, and the Han Dynasty occupied cross-toed county. Neighboring counties also rose up against the Han Dynasty. The rule of the Han Dynasty in Jiaojiao became precarious, so Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu sent Ma Yuan to lead the army.
Ma Yuan sent troops from the southern coast, marching by land and water 1000 miles. In the northwest of Hanoi, Vietnam, thousands of rebels were killed and more than 10 thousand people were forced to land. A year later, Ma Yuan killed the rebellious women Zheng Bian and Zheng Er, and continued to quell the rebellion in Lingnan. The whole counterinsurgency lasted twice, and the marching distance reached thousands of kilometers.
According to the three standards of sealing wolves in the profession, Ma Yuan meets the requirements. In the far south, Ma Yuan and the Han army had to overcome the climate, expedition fatigue and extremely inconvenient supply, completely quelled the rebellion and maintained the land of the Han Dynasty. This is Feng Wolf's professional achievement.
II. Three Kingdoms: Wu Qiujian
Wu is a stranger to many people. He was a general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. His greatest achievement is to cut down Koguryo twice and directly destroy Koguryo. You know, Tang Taizong later cut Goguryeo three times, but it didn't destroy Goguryeo.
The expansion of the strength of the Han Dynasty to the Korean Peninsula began with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who set up four counties in the Korean Peninsula: Fan Zhen, Lintun, Le Lang and Xuantu. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, these four counties had already fallen into the hands of foreign enemies. In the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu and Wu competed for hegemony in the Central Plains, while Liaodong had the Gongsun regime, at least four counties on the Korean Peninsula, which was even more neglected.
Wu's second attack on Koguryo began when Cao Wei's regime used force against Gongsun Sheng's regime in Liaodong. During the Cao Rui period, Gongsun's regime in Liaodong refused to obey Cao Wei and made a difference. After Zhuge Liang's death, Cao Wei, Western Front commanders and Cao Rui turned their attention to Liaodong, hoping to take this opportunity to eliminate disobedient Gongsun Yuan.
Wu was a general under Gongsun Yuan, but he failed. Later, Cao Rui sent Sima Yi to attack Liaodong. Sima Yi successfully destroyed the Gongsun regime and moved Liaodong soldiers and civilians to the mainland, thus creating a power vacuum in Liaodong. Koguryo, who surrendered to Liaodong, became stronger and began to invade Liaodong territory of Cao Wei frequently.
At that time, Wu was a general of Liao and a secretariat of Youzhou, so he led an army to attack Koguryo, annihilated the main force of Koguryo army in World War I, and killed 1.8 million people. King Koguryo fled, and soon after Koguryo was restored, Wu sent two armies to continue the attack in order to completely eliminate the threat of Koguryo, all the way north and all the way south, and perished the Three Kingdoms (Chen Han).
At the same time, he also sent envoys from the Korean peninsula to Japan to mediate the civil war in the name of the sovereign state and declare Wei's sovereignty and hegemony. At the same time, Wei Junbing carved this matter on a stone tablet and recorded their contributions. 1906, Wu Shibei was discovered in Ji 'an City, Jilin Province, which was the farthest expedition during the Three Kingdoms period, with a journey of thousands of kilometers. Wei Jun soldiers conquered the Korean peninsula.
Wu's record has obviously reached the standard of keeping the wolf in the room. This was the most influential expedition during the Three Kingdoms period, which made the strength of China Wei Dynasty reach the Korean Peninsula and even the whole East Asia. This is a great event to carry forward national prestige.
Three. Tang Dynasty: Li Jing, Su Shi, Hou Shi.
1, Li Jing
After the Three Kingdoms came the Western Jin Dynasty. After the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains fell into troubled times that lasted for hundreds of years, that is, the five lakes and sixteen countries and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was not until the Sui Dynasty unified the world, and the Tang Dynasty came after the Sui Dynasty, that China entered another prosperous time, and only then did the generals who sealed the wolf and lived in professional posts appear.
There were many famous soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. The first one was Li Jing, a Han Xin-style god of war. Li Jing took part in some civil wars in the Tang Dynasty, and then started foreign wars. The first national war that Li Jing participated in was the war to destroy East Turkistan in the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing led 3000 elite cavalry to raid East Turkistan and hit Yinshan Mountain, directly destroying East Turkistan.
Excavate also took part in the fight against Tuguhun. Tuguhun marched more than two thousand miles in Qinghai and Hexi Corridor today, and defeated Tuguhun until the western border of Tuguhun (now Qiemo, Xinjiang), and directly defeated Tuguhun. Li Jing's record has reached the standard of sealing wolves in professional places.
2. Li Ji
Li Ji, formerly known as Xu Shiqi, was a famous soldier in the early Tang Dynasty, second only to Li Jing. Participated in the battle of Hulaoguan and the battle of destroying the auxiliary public water in the Tang Dynasty, and also participated in the battle of destroying East Turkistan in the Tang Dynasty. In this battle, Li Ji captured more than 50,000 people and made outstanding achievements, so he can be regarded as a wolf living in a professional place.
Li Ji also took part in the battle to destroy Xue Yantuo and Koguryo in the Tang Dynasty. Xue Yantuo is a different part of Turkic. After the collapse of the Turks, Xue Yantuo became independent. Xue Yantuo later attacked the Turkic Khan attached to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty sent Li Ji to attack Xue Yantuo, and Li Ji led 6000 cavalry to defeat Xue Yantuo's army.
In the battle of Xue Yantuo's downfall in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji defeated Xue Yantuo in Dujunshan, beheaded more than 5,000 people, captured more than 30,000 people, and brought Xue Yantuo Khan back to Chang 'an. Xue Yantuo's ministries were also defeated by various Tang Jun, and then Xue Yantuo perished. Li Ji also participated in the war to destroy Koguryo in the Tang Dynasty. Although some victories were achieved, Goguryeo was not eliminated.
3. Su Fangding
Sue is brave and good at fighting. At the end of Sui Dynasty, farmers took refuge in Dou Jiande and Liu Heita during the uprising, which was put into use after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. The first battle he took part in was the battle to destroy the Eastern Turkistan in the Tang Dynasty. Su rode a horse to attack the Turks and killed hundreds of people.
In the war to aid Silla, Su led 10,000 Tang Jun to attack Koguryo and killed more than 1,000 prisoners. In the war of attacking the West Turkistan, Su led 500 cavalry to defeat the West Turkistan and killed more than 500 people. In the war to destroy the West Turkistan, Su led 10,000 Tang Jun and Uighur soldiers, defeated 100,000 troops of the West Turkistan and killed tens of thousands of people. Sue has been pursuing the remnants of western Turkistan.
Su Fangding also destroyed Baekje and attacked Koguryo. From south to north, from east to west, there are battlefields where the Soviet Union fought. Northern Jiangsu attacked and destroyed the East Turkistan, attacked and destroyed the West Turkistan in Ashnahulu, attacked and destroyed the Baekje on the Korean Peninsula in the east and attacked Tubo in the south.
It can be said that Su traveled to Wan Li Road and visited all the countries around the Tang Dynasty, destroying the Three Kingdoms successively, and all of them captured their owners alive. This standard can be called a wolf in professional positions.
4. Hou Jijun
Later, he was a famous soldier in the Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four outstanding figures in Lingyange. In his early years, he followed Li Shimin and took part in the war against East Turkistan, the war against Tuyuhun and the war against Gao Changguo in the western regions. Gaochang was the only Han regime in the Western Regions, which was more than 7,000 miles away from the Tang Dynasty in Donghala, Reuters, Xinjiang and southwest of Zhuobao.
Hou led Tang Jun out of World War I, which was a record of sealing wolves from a professional standpoint.
Fourth, the Ming Dynasty: Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a famous star in Ming Dynasty, and also the wife and brother of General Chang Yuchun. He is brave and resourceful. His most famous battle was the battle of sea fishing, which was the greatest victory of the Ming Dynasty over the Mongolian regime in the North Yuan Dynasty.
The Ming army led by Aquamarine150,000 went on an expedition to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and pursued the Northern Yuan Army to the fishing sea 3000 miles away from the territory of the Ming Dynasty (now Beierhu, Xinbaerhu Right Banner, Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia). In this campaign, the Ming army led by Lan Yu was defeated by the Yuan army, killing Qiu Bei, and captured more than 0/00 members of the Northern Yuan royal family, 3,000 officials, and 77,000 troops and people.
Except for the emperors and princes of the Yuan Dynasty who rode away, almost all the senior officials, nobles and members of the royal family of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were caught in the net, which was the greatest victory of the Ming Dynasty over the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he directly compared aquamarine to Wei Qing and Excavate, and this battle of aquamarine fully met the standard of sealing wolves in the professional department.
