He held a ceremony to worship heaven in Xushan, where wolves lived, and listed rivers as the territory of the Great Man and Qilian Mountain as the county of the Great Man. Describe Huo Qubing's outstanding achievements in his life.

Huo Qubing's main deeds

First, young and brave.

In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 123), Huo Qubing, aged 17, was appointed as a captain of Yiyao by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (so Huo Qubing was also called Huoyiyao). With Wei Qing, he attacked Xiongnu twice in the south of the desert (now south of the Great Desert on the Mongolian Plateau) and captured the first enemy excessively. "Excessive" is generally understood as killing more enemies than you lose. ), captured 2028 enemies, including officials from Guo Xiang and Danghu, killed Khan's grandfather who was born in Ruohou (born in Ruohou Naifeng, famous far and wide), captured Khan's uncle Luo Jiabi, won the whole army twice, and won the championship with 1600 households.

Second, recover Hexi.

In the second year of Yuanshou (BC 12 1), Emperor Wu appointed Huo Qubing, aged 19, as the general of a title of generals in ancient times. In spring and summer, he led troops to capture the Xiongnu Evil King and Hugh Tuwang Department in Hexi (now Hexi Corridor and Huangshui River Basin), killing and injuring more than 40,000 people. Captured Attila 5 people, including the Queen Mother, Khan E Shi, Prince, Guo Xiang and General 120 people.

In the autumn of the same year, he was ordered to meet the evil king of Xiongnu who led his troops to Han. At the critical moment when some people were overthrown by the Han Dynasty, he led the army into Xiongnu, killed the rebels and stabilized the situation. The evil king of Xiongnu was able to lead more than 40,000 people to the Han Dynasty.

From then on, the Han Dynasty took control of Hexi region, laying the foundation for opening up the road to the western regions. Xiongnu lamented: "The loss of Qilian Mountain made my six animals unhappy;" Losing my mountain makes my married wife colorless.

Third, seal the wolf in Xu.

In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshou (1 19 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing (2 1) to command 50,000 cavalry each. "Hundreds of thousands of infantry turned to Dingxiang and Dai Jun, respectively, and went deep into Mobei to hunt down the Xiongnu main force.

Huo Qubing led the army into the north for more than 2,000 miles, crossed the back hill, crossed Duke Lu, and fought with the left part of Xiongnu, killing 70,400 people. He attacked wolves in Xushan (now Mongolia), held a worship ceremony among wolves in Xushan (now Kent, Mongolia), and held a worship ceremony in Gu Yan Mountain (now north of Kent, Mongolia). The soldiers were forced.

After World War I, Xiongnu was wiped out by the Han army in the south of the desert, and Hun Khan fled to Mobei. "Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no Wang Ting in the south of the desert.". He and Wei Qing launched an offensive war against the Huns, which changed the defensive state of the Han Dynasty and defeated the Huns in one fell swoop. Thus, the border security of the Great Wall in the northern part of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, the southern part of the desert, has been guaranteed for a long time. This campaign was the longest attack of the Han Dynasty on the Huns.

Extended data

Huo Qubing's anecdote.

First, the relationship between nephew and uncle.

Huo Qubing has a close relationship with his uncle Wei Qing. Although he has made outstanding achievements, he has never formed gangs, let alone trained scholars (public guests). Su Jian once advised Wei Qing to cultivate literati to gain a good reputation. Wei Qing thought that fostering scholars would make the emperor taboo. As a courtier, all he had to do was obey the law. Why train scholars for a good reputation?

Huo Qubing and Wei Qing hold the same view. From Huo Qubing's position of inviting the third son to be crowned king, we can also see that he is consistent with Wei Qing in maintaining the status of Liu Yuxin. ?

Second, death remonstrance.

In the sixth year of yuanshou (BC 1 17), Huo Qubing requested three princes, namely, Emperor Wudi, Liu Dan and Liu Xu, to "return home" (i.e., return to the fief and live in Chang 'an). Marshal Huo Qubing risked his life to pay homage to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty: "Thanks to your wrong love, I, Huo Qubing, can serve in the army. I should have devoted myself to border defense affairs, even if I died in battle, I could not repay your majesty, and I dared not consider other things to disturb your majesty.

I did this because I saw your majesty worrying about the world, because he pitied the people and forgot himself, reduced the pleasure of eating and drinking, and cut off his staff. Princes, favored by heaven, can worship when they grow up, but they have not been awarded the title of chief officer so far. Your majesty is courteous and has no mercy on flesh and blood. Privately, his ministers hope to be given titles as soon as possible, but they dare not overstep their authority.

I was at a loss and risked my life to make suggestions. I hope your majesty can draw a line and decide the position of the prince as soon as possible on an auspicious day in midsummer. I hope your majesty will review it. Huo Qubing risked his life to worship His Majesty again. "On March 1st, Huo Guang, the minister of suggestion, played the Weiyang Palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wrote a letter saying: "It is dealt with in the imperial history. " ?

Third, 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 has never been a father for a day. However, when Huo Qubing grew up, he got to know his father. Once, when he was an ancient general, he stopped by Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi). Huo Qubing ordered his men to invite Huo Zhongru to the rest hotel, and bowed down and said, "I didn't know that I was the son of an adult (adult: father of Han and Tang Dynasties) until I got 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.

Fourth, 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.
