Huo Qubing is a man of few words and great spirit. /Kloc-When he joined the army for the first time at the age of 0/8, he led a team to raid the Xiongnu's base camp, killed the Xiongnu's grandfather, captured the Xiongnu's Guo Xiang and Khan's uncle alive, and won the title of champion. Later, Huo Qubing repeatedly made meritorious military service, crossed the desert, advanced more than 2,000 miles, defeated Xiongnu Zuo's army, chased the wolf to the foot of Xushan Mountain, held a grand ceremony to worship heaven, and set up a monument to commemorate it. Xiongnu suffered a great blow in this battle, and the evil king surrendered to the Han Dynasty. From then on, the Huns were divided into two branches, the north and the south, and they were no longer able to carry out large-scale aggression against the Han Dynasty. There has been no war on the northern border for decades. Part of the southern branch merged with the Han nationality, and part of the northern branch migrated westward, reaching Eastern Europe and becoming the ancestors of today's Hungarians.
Huo Qubing's story about the jackal living in Xushan is often mentioned by later generations, especially when the Han people's martial arts are not prosperous. In Xin Qiji's words, there is "Yuan Jia Cao Cao, sealing the wolf to live in Xushan, winning and retreating". Huo Qubing died at the age of 24. In order to mourn him, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mobilized the army to put on black clothes and formed a "Xuanjiajun", which was lined up from Changchang to Maoling. The mausoleum built for Huo Qubing is tall and majestic, resembling Qilian Mountain! It can be seen that Huo Qubing's position in the heart of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Huo Qubing greatly reduced the threat of the Han Dynasty border and created favorable conditions for economic and social development. On the other hand, he greatly expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty. Since then, Qilian Mountain and Mongolian grassland have become the territory of China and the fertile ground for the Chinese nation to thrive. He is a national hero.
In the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, there are countless heroes. Why single out Huo Qubing? Because Huo Qubing means a lot to young people today.
The wheel of history has run over for two thousand years, and the joys and sorrows of honor and disgrace have long since vanished. The so-called "success or failure is empty, and the sunset is red." Huo Qubing's grandeur that day, such as dew, shadow and illusion, is left with his immortal achievements and the phrase "Why should the Huns be at home before they are destroyed?" ! "
On the same day, Huo Qubing came back victorious, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a house for him, but Huo Qubing insisted, "Why stay at home if the Huns are immortal?" ? ! "The emperor was greatly moved.
Huo Qubing's life is short. He only stayed on the historical stage for six or seven years, but he left immortal achievements. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and died at the age of twenty-four. Maybe he is not "sick" himself. Perhaps years of fighting have greatly damaged his health, but he has been worried about the country and the people and can afford to use the word "sick".
