Why didn t Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty punish Huo Quai?

Huo Quzhi was a young genius general, because he fought bravely and decisively against the Huns, and made several great contributions to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu who was in great trouble in his heart, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved this young general from the bottom of his heart.

The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and Huo Quai's military exploits are true, but his impulsiveness soon brought disaster to himself. During a hunting organized by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing took a bow and shot arrows and shot Li Dang, the only son of the old general Li Guang.

General Li Guang has a very high popularity in the court, at that time General Li Guang had committed suicide because of the disadvantage of the Hun war, Li Dang was the only bloodline left by General Li Guang, and Huo Qubing was so young that he shot him to death, this incident caused a great shock at the time, and the voice of dealing with Huo Qubing was very high.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handled Huo Quai's move very strangely, not only helping Huo Qubing hide it, saying that it was an unintentional move, it was an accident, and Huo Qubing was not punished.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took care of Huo Qu's illness, on the one hand, he cherished Huo Qu's talent, and on the other hand, he also had his own considerations.

At that time, attacking the Xiongnu was the top priority in the court, and the military team headed by Li Guang did not occupy the Han Wu Emperor's attack on the Xiongnu, and formed a strong force, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was under pressure, enabled Wei Qing and Huo Qu's sick nephew and uncle to attack the Xiongnu, and achieved a great victory, driving the Xiongnu out of the sphere of influence in one fell swoop, and did not dare to offend the Han realm for many years.

Li Guang committed suicide in grief and anger when Wei Qinghuo was victorious and his frequent failures. And why Huo Quzhi shot Li Kang was also caused by this incident.

Li Dang blamed Wei Qing for his father's suicide, and beat him in the general Wei Qing's tent. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty supported Huo Quai, on the one hand, it was also to give Li Guang's old subordinates a look on their faces, so that they could speak less about their own decisions.

There is such a record in history that Li Guang's son Li Dang attempted to assassinate Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing directly killed Li Dang.

Let's look at Li Guang first, Li Guang has been practicing archery since he was a child and joined the army when he grew up. In the poetry of the literati, Li Guang's exploits were exalted, but looking at the historical records, since the conspiracy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Ma Yi,The strategy of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu gradually changed from defense to active attack. Li Guang is more suitable for defending the city, and his ability to attack the enemy is slightly worse.

Li Guang's last war was to follow Wei Qing on an expedition, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not send him, but Li Guang insisted on participating. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty repeatedly instructed Wei Qing, "Elder Li Guang, count strange, don't order Shan Yu, I'm afraid I can't do what I want" The meaning is very clear, don't let Li Guang focus on Shan Yu, he is old and his ability is not enough.

So Wei Qing arranged an auxiliary errand for Li Guang, and Li Guang felt ashamed. But when facing Shan Yu's main force, Li Guang got lost again, and arrived after the decisive battle, and was held accountable by Wei Qing, Li Guang pulled out his knife and killed himself.

Regarding Li Guang's death, his son Li dared to think that Wei Qing was responsible and held a grudge, and he assassinated Wei Qing to avenge his father.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were originally a family, although Wei Qing was quiet about this matter at the time, but after Huo Qubing knew about it, he still found an opportunity to shoot Li Dang. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unable to do so, and said that Li Dang was killed by a deer while hunting.

Huo Qu's disease is very important to Liu Che, in the "Historical Records of the Huns" records, after the Battle of Mobei, "the Han side recovered the horses, and the hussar general went to die of illness".It shows that after Huo Quai's death, Liu Che was unable to continue to take the initiative to fight against the Xiongnu for a long time, which is undoubtedly a loss.

Huo Quzhi can be called a national hero, and the historical achievements he left behind are for future generations to look up to。Drinking Ma Hanhai, sealing the wolf Juxu, Qilian of the big rivers in the west, driving six moves, swallowing eight wildernesses.

Huo Quzhi's combat effectiveness is very strong, Ban Gu described it as "long drive six electric shock thunder" that is a high-intensity and high-mobility continuous battle, he went out six times in just 5 years from the sixth year of Yuan Shuo to the fourth year of Yuan Hunt, of which 4 times served as the commander, the frequency of the battle is high, the intensity is great, it is rare in history.

Huo Qubing is Liu Che's right-hand man, relying on him to open up territory, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty helped him exonerate him

Huo Quai's killing of Li Dang was in a collective hunt, shot with an arrow in front of everyone, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about his attitude towards this matter, the history books recorded it like this:

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to his entourage: "Zhonglang will Li Kang, Hu Cong Widow shot and hunted, and was resisted by the frightened deer and died. Buried Li Kang with a generous funeral and compassionate for his family. The inside story of the garden shall not be disseminated. Violators will be beheaded. "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered that this matter should not be passed on, otherwise it would be beheaded.

Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty protect Huo Quai's illness so much?

Stills of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were many famous generals, the most famous of which were Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang, Li Kang and others.

Li Dang was the third son of the flying general Li Guang, who fought against the Xiongnu many times and made many military exploits. Later, he followed Huo Qubing to conquer the Xiongnu, because he captured the drum banner of King Zuoxian and killed many enemies, so he was gradually promoted from the captain to the commander of Langzhong, and sealed the inner marquis.

In fact, there is a grudge between the four of them, because Li Guang's death has a lot to do with Wei Qing, so Li Guang's son Li Dang hates Wei Qing very much, and actually beat Wei Qing, who is much older than himself, in front of everyone at a party, and almost killed him. Wei Qing felt very guilty about Li Guang's death, so he did not pursue Li Kang.

Wei Qing. But Wei Qing is Huo Quai's uncle, Li Dang actually beat his uncle publicly, and he was already dissatisfied with Li Kang, so he was even more resentful of Li Kang, although his uncle did not pursue Li Kang, but it did not mean that Huo Qubing was not investigated.

So a year later, a hunt, Huo Qubing took the opportunity to kill Li Kang by mistake.

Huo Qu's disease. But why didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty kill Huo Quai? What kind of person is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is not enough to praise him for his talents, he is very clear about the grievances between the four of them, but no matter what grievances he has, he can't affect him to stabilize his country, now Li Guang is dead, Li Dang is also dead, Wei Qing is old, if Huo Qu is killed, who will help him fight in the future, so he can't be killed, the only thing he can do is not to let this matter get out, so he can only help cover it up.

That must be for the sake of the Han Dynasty, although he has a grudge against Huo Quai, but he still has to use him, so he will not punish him, and he has to rely on him to defend against foreign enemies.

Huo Quzhi was the nephew of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The popular relationship between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Huo Qubing is the employment relationship, Huo Qubing is a fierce general under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he has made many contributions in the campaign against the Xiongnu, and is a young and promising young general. This also proves that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has a pair of eyes that discover talents, and he believes that Huo Quzhi, who is only 18 years old, can lead the army alone, and it is precisely because of the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Huo Qubing has such achievements.

Huo Quzhi is the nephew of the famous general Wei Qing, who is very good at riding and shooting, and has his own opinions on the way of using soldiers. When he first fought against the Huns, he led 800 people to go deep into the rear of the enemy, and the Huns were killed and scattered, Huo Qubing was only 18 years old that year, but he was a rare general.

But his birth is not very good, he is the son of an adulteration between a small official in the princess's mansion and the princess's maidservant, and this little official does not dare to admit that he has an improper relationship with the princess's maidservant, and is unwilling to admit Huo Quzhi's identity, Huo Qubing can only come to this world as an illegitimate child.

The second queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was Wei Zifu, and the child of Wei Zifu's half-sister was Huo Quai, Wei Zifu was Huo Quai's aunt, and Emperor Wu of Han was Huo Quai's uncle.

Wrong! Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing are uncles and nephews, and Huo Quai's mother and Wei Zifu are sisters, so they should be called Emperor Wu of Han's uncle.

Throughout history, emperors have been synonymous with ruthlessness. As long as it threatens his rule, no matter how much credit you make, you will be deprived of your official position by the Silver Emperor for various reasons, and even kill people to avoid future troubles.

There was a famous general in the Han Dynasty who won the hearts of the people, even more than the emperor. He is the world-famous General Huo Quai——。 History records that he died of illness, but nowadays, there is a lot of speculation about the cause of his death, and it is even said that Huo Quzhi's death was operated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing were very popular at that time. Even if Huo Quzhi shot Li Gan later, his fame was still very bright, and there were still many people who supported him. The mass base between him and Wei Qing should not be underestimated. However, it seems that this mass base brought him death.

High coverage has always been a serious problem. At a young age, Huo Qubing made countless military exploits, and his care for the soldiers made his subordinates praise him. Holding power in your hands naturally brings a sense of crisis to the emperor. It is estimated that this has brought disaster to Huo Qu's disease.

Huo Quai's death was most likely a planned interest group by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, considering that he and Wei Qinghui had formed a foreign relative, and threatened his imperial power. According to historical records, after Huo Qu's death, Wei Qing's rights were slowly withdrawn by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At this level, the possibility of Huo Qu dying of illness at the hands of the emperor is very high.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty likes Huo Qubing because he has super military ability and can also contain Wei Qing, if Huo Qubing does not die, with his flamboyant personality, sooner or later he will be purged by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he will die early and keep his reputation forever!

As for how much I like it, it's like Wei Qing back then! Especially when he died when his merits were the most brilliant, he should be more worthy of praise, and he must be suppressed if he does not threaten the imperial power, and the higher the praise, the more merciful the emperor is!

Huo Qubing was a prodigy general who made great contributions to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and after his death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reused his younger brother in order to remember him.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty achieved Huo Quai, and Huo Qubing also achieved the grand hegemony of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said something like this: The champion Hou was born rich.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised Huo Qubing as his son.

He shot Li Kang in front of Emperor Wu of Han.

Huo Qubing is most likely the illegitimate son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
