"The Xiongnu are not destroyed, and there is no way for them to make a home for themselves" was the heroic saying of Huo Qubing, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing is the nephew of the famous general Wei Qing. He is good at riding and shooting, flexible in using troops, pays attention to strategy, does not adhere to ancient methods, is brave and decisive, and is good at long-distance raids, blitzes, large detours, and large interlude operations.

In the first battle, he led 800 cavalry hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory, killing the Huns and sending them fleeing. In the two battles in Hexi, Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu's Jinmen, and took the Qilian Mountains directly. In the Battle of Mobei, Huo Qubing sealed Langjuxu and returned home victoriously.

In the sixth year of Yuanshou, Huo Qubing died of illness at the age of only 23 (an empty year). Emperor Wu was very sad and dispatched the armored troops from the five border counties to form a formation from Chang'an to Maoling. The appearance of the tomb he built for Huo Qubing resembled the Qilian Mountains. He combined the two principles of bravery and territorial expansion and gave him the posthumous title of Marquis Jinghuan.
