"The Huns If it is not destroyed, why should we take care of our family? "During the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu nobles often sent troops to harass the border areas, and the people in the border areas lived in peace. In 123 BC, the 18-year-old general Huo Qubing led 800 elite cavalry and rushed straight into the enemy camp, killing the Huns. In 121 AD, he led his army to the west twice and killed several enemy chiefs. In 119 BC, he led his troops to the north, drove 2,000 miles from enemy territory, and carried out a great Qing campaign against the Xiongnu. Huo Qubing spent his military life on the frontier battlefield fighting against the Huns and defending his family and country, without taking off his saddle or taking off his armor. In recognition of his achievements, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally ordered the construction of a luxurious palace for him. However, until the construction was completed, Huo Qubing did not even look at it. He said heroically: "The Xiongnu are not destroyed, so why do we have a home?" B.C. In 117, Huo Qubing died of illness at the age of 24. In order to commemorate his contribution to the country and the people, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty erected a stone carving of "horse trampling on the Huns" in front of his tomb, which symbolizes his spirit of serving the country.
