Briefly introduce Huo Qu s disease and evaluate his life

Wei Qing's nephew, Huo Guang's brother, died early and contributed a lot.

I believe that everyone is already very familiar with a generation of famous generals Huo Quzhi, he is young and promising, and has repeatedly won victories in the battle with the Xiongnu Yinhu, and has made great achievements for the Han Dynasty, and was named the champion by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But unfortunately, Huo Quzhi died at the age of 24, which can be said to be an untimely death. So what did he accomplish in this brilliant and short life?

Today we're going to talk about it.

First of all, if you win the battle, you will be made a marquis. Huo Qubing liked to ride horses and shoot arrows when he was a teenager, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admired him so much that he let him stay by his side and taught him the art of war to learn. At the age of 17, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Huo Qubing to go out with the general Wei Qing to fight against the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing drove straight into the territory of the Xiongnu for the first time, when the Xiongnu army was fighting on the front line, and the rear was empty, Huo Qubing took the opportunity to smash the Xiongnu base camp, killed thousands of enemy soldiers, and captured the elders of the Xiongnu Shan Yu and others, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy, and Huo Qubing was named the champion Hou.

Secondly, the Hexi Corridor was opened. The Hexi Corridor was crucial for the Han Dynasty, and occupying the Hexi Corridor could be used as a barrier against the Xiongnu, which was of great significance for the security of the capital Chang'an. But at that time, the Xiongnu occupied this area, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Huo Qubing to lead his troops to attack and open up the Hexi Corridor.

Huo Qubing really fulfilled his mission, fought deep into the enemy territory alone, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and let the Hun evil king lead the people to surrender. At this point, the Hexi Corridor was completely controlled by the Han Dynasty, and the strategic situation was greatly improved, while the Xiongnu suffered a great loss of vitality and lost their strength.

Finally, seal the wolf Juxu. This should be the dream of most generals of the Central Plains Dynasty, and few people can do it, but Huo Qubing has done it. After taking control of the Hexi Corridor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to conduct a decisive battle with the main force of the Xiongnu to completely end the grievances between the two sides, and he ordered the generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead their troops to complete this task.

Huo Qubing led the army to drive straight in, killed more than 70,000 troops of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and pursued the victory to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, which is the Kent Mountain near Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia today, where the activities of worshipping the heavens were carried out, and this battle made the Xiongnu lose a large area of territory, so they had to go far away to avoid the edge of the Han Dynasty.

In 117 BC, Huo Qu** died of illness, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very saddened by the death of this young general with outstanding military achievements, and gave him a rich burial. Huo Quzhi is an example for our contemporaries, and our generation should be self-reliant.

Huo Qubing (140 BC - 117 BC), Han nationality, a native of Pingyang, Hedong (now southwest of Linfen, Shanxi), a famous general and military strategist in the Western Han Dynasty, an official to the general of the Great Sima Hussar, and a champion Hou.

Huo Quzhi is the nephew of the famous general Wei Qing, who is good at riding and shooting, flexible in the use of soldiers, pays attention to strategy, does not adhere to ancient methods, is brave and decisive, and is good at long-distance running, blitzkrieg and big detours, and large interspersed operations.

In the first battle, he led 800 horsemen to go deep into the enemy's territory for hundreds of miles, killing the Huns and fleeing in all directions. In the two battles of Hexi, Huo Qubing broke the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu to sacrifice Tianjin, and took Qilian Mountain. In the battle of Mobei, Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu and returned victorious.

In the sixth year of Yuanzhen, Huo Qu** died of illness at the age of 23 (imaginary age). Emperor Wu was very sad, and dispatched the ironclad army of the five border counties to line up in a formation from Chang'an to Maoling, and gave Huo Qu's tomb the image of praying for the appearance of Lianshan, combining the two principles of bravery and land expansion, and posthumously becoming the Marquis of Jinghuan.

Huo Quai, the senior disciple of Liu Che, the great emperor of the Han Dynasty, the nephew of the general Wei Qing, was promoted to the captain of Yao at the age of 18, because he took 800 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, broke tens of thousands of Huns, killed the uncle of Da Dan Yu, captured the prime minister alive, captured more than 2,000 people, was promoted to hussar general, he led the soldiers and horses to break the Huns, walked all over the Hun grassland, at the age of 24 was ordered to go to the Heshuo grassland, died of plague halfway, and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty buried him next to his mausoleum (now Xianyang Maoling, Shaanxi).
