It means: before the Huns were completely defeated, the people of the Han Dynasty would not have a stable home.

Specifically:

Huo Qubing belongs to the famous emperor of the Western Han Dynasty who resisted the Huns. Entrusted by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, he fought against Xiongnu in the north all his life. He was young and handsome, and led troops to repel Xiongnu many times.

The mode of production of Huns is different from that of Han nationality. The Han people mainly cultivate and harvest food with the change of seasons, while the Huns have no habit of farming, and the mode of production depends entirely on grabbing. In the north, once the materials are in short supply, the Huns will run to the border of the Han Dynasty to grab the materials, and the things they like will be taken away, which is a very barbaric mode of production and appears repeatedly.

For the stable development of the people in the border areas, the early Han Dynasty adopted a pro-marriage policy to avoid this problem, that is, to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty to the Huns, hoping that the two families would develop peacefully, even if the Huns robbed them, they would not rob the Han Dynasty.

However, the Huns pushed their luck, and even if they implemented the in-laws policy, they would rob the Han Dynasty.

During the period of Emperor Wudi, Emperor Wudi found that intimacy was not the best policy, so he had to use force, so he entrusted Huo Qubing to go all out to fight the Xiongnu until he gave in, because in fact the Xiongnu could not be completely annihilated, because in the north, if the ancient poem said:

Lonely smoke rises in the boundless desert.

Huns are a people on horseback. Even if they can't win the Han Dynasty, they can run and run very fast. The desert in the north is vast, and the army of the Han dynasty can't go deep. First of all, they get lost easily. Second, they are easy to be ambushed. Third, the basic items of food and materials can't keep up. Fourth, the Huns are barbaric in quality and cannot be educated.

Therefore, we can only arrange the generals to defend the north and resist the Huns.

Huo Qubing has been fighting against Xiongnu all his life, and he has a better understanding of Xiongnu's mode of production and living habits.

Obviously, once the Huns have nothing to eat and play at home, they will come to the Han Dynasty to rob them, so the people on the border have no stable days at all.

So, just say that the Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home?

This sentence is thoroughly analyzed. On the one hand, it shows that Huo Qubing is familiar with the living habits of Huns, on the other hand, it also shows his determination to resist Huns.

In fact, Huo Qubing is also a legendary teenager in history. In the present words, he is a talented young man, and he has made great achievements.

Later, the father idol of the Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji was Huo Qubing, so Xin Qiji's name was very similar to Huo Qubing's.
