In the sixth year of yuanshuo (123 BC), Huo Qubing was still under eighteen. He followed General Wei Qing and took Yao as the captain to attack the Huns (that is, the battle of the desert south in history). Because of Huo Qubing's repeated well-documented, Wei Qing chose 800 brave warriors to be under his command and put on their shirts at the beginning.
Huo Shao has no actual combat and command experience. With blood and courage, he took 800 able-bodied soldiers hundreds of miles away from the army and succeeded in the sneak attack. "When you are beheaded, you capture 2,028, and you are a family. When your father is born, you are beheaded, and you capture your father Luo Jiabi." This victory was unprecedented. When the news came, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy. He was given the title of "Champion Hou" and won the title of the three armed forces.
In this war, Huo Qubing was young and brave, inexperienced, and he could be sealed in World War I. Although the 800 warriors were brave, they were unknown in the desert, and they were likely to encounter the main force of Xiongnu, completely annihilated and completely annihilated. (Such examples are common in the Sino-Hungarian War, and Su Jian and Li Guang all had such experiences. Zhao Xin also returned to the Huns when he was outnumbered.
After the success of World War I, Tiejun made great contributions.
Huo Qubing stood out in the first battle, so it became the first choice in the next important military action. Here, Hanwu himself likes adventure more than Huo Qubing likes adventure.
Let Huo Qubing try his luck. Hanwu is eager to break the deadlock between the two sides and the breakthrough of power contrast. Looking at the generals in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that the most talented and short-lived champion can best carry out his strategic intentions. In the spring of the second year of Yuanshou (12 1 years ago), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Huo Qubing as the general of a title of generals in ancient times, and led 10,000 fine riders to attack Xiongnu from Longxi (now Lintao County, Gansu Province).
Huo Qubing really lived up to expectations and was on a roll. "He beyond the black cup, for help, fox slave, through five countries, hope to win the khan. After six days of fierce fighting, he crossed the Yanqi Mountain for more than 1,000 miles, joined forces with short soldiers, marched under Gaolan, killed the king of Lan, beheaded Lu Hou, won the evil king of Xiongnu, Guo Xiang and Dewey, led 8,960 troops, and collected the slaughter to sacrifice to the gods. "
The Huns, who used to do whatever they wanted in the Han Dynasty, finally sang a lamentation: "The death of Qilian Mountain made my six animals unhappy;" Losing my rouge mountain makes my woman colorless. "
This is the first time that Huo Shao's blitzkrieg tactics were tested by a conventional large-scale corps, and the result was a total victory, with brilliant results, which swept away the decline of the past war with Xiongnu and achieved unprecedented success.
3, Mobei decisive battle, zhanghua, Huang Huang
In the fourth year of Yuanshou (1 19 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched an unprecedented "Mobei War" in order to completely eliminate the main force of the Xiongnu. The battle of Mobei is the biggest and hardest battle fought by the Han army on the battlefield farthest from the Central Plains. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dispatched 65,438+10,000 cavalry, 0,000 war horses1.4,000 infantry, led by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and marched into Mobei in two ways.
At this point, Huo Qubing undoubtedly became the trump card of the Han army. In the Battle of Mobei, Huo Qubing brought his long-distance attack tactics to the peak. In the process of searching for the main force of Xiongnu in the desert, Huo Qubing led his troops around more than 2,000 miles, wiped out more than 70,000 people, lost 15,000 people, and captured three Xiongnu princes and 83 generals alive.
About is eager to see the huns khan, "lonely for failure" Huo Qubing pursued all the way, came to today's Mongolian Kent mountain area. Speaking of which, Huo Qubing paused and led the army to hold a ceremony to worship heaven and earth-a ceremony to worship heaven and earth was held in Xushan where wolves lived, and a ceremony to worship the earth was held in Guyan Mountain. After sealing the wolf in a professional position, Huo Qubing continued to lead the army to pursue the Huns in depth, hitting the vast sea directly until he returned to the army.
4. Loyalty and filial piety
Huo Qubing was born a slave and grew up on the front of renewal, but he never indulged in wealth and luxury. He values national security and achievements more than anything else. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once built a luxurious mansion for Huo Qubing, but Huo Qubing flatly refused, saying, "How can the Huns be home until they are extinct?"
Huo Qubing is the illegitimate child of Huo Zhongru. His father didn't do his duty as a father for a day, but when Huo Qubing grew up, he knew about his father. When he was a general in ancient times, he passed Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi). Huo Qubing ordered his men to invite Huo Zhongru to the rest hostel.
He bowed his head and said, "I didn't know I was an adult's son when I went to the hospital." Huo Zhongru was too ashamed to answer. He bowed down and kowtowed and said, "I owe it to General, and this is force of nature." Later, Huo Qubing bought Huo Zhongru a peasant handmaiden and took his half-brother Huo Guang to Chang 'an for farming.
5. Shoot Li Gan
In the Northern Desert War, Li Gan fought side by side with Huo Qubing in Xiongnu. In the fifth year of Yuanshou (1 18 BC), Li Gan resented and wounded General Wei Qing because of the death of his father Li Guang. Wei Qing went into hiding, but not long after, Wei Qing's nephew Huo Qubing shot and killed Li Gan in the shooting at Ganquan Palace.
