Wei Qing attacked several times before and after, and lifted the threat of the Xiongnu to the Han Dy

The Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty were located in Ningxia and part of Inner Mongolia in present-day China, in addition to the Mongolian steppes and the Siberian region of Russia, after being defeated by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the army, the remnants of the Xiongnu fled all the way west to the steppes of Eastern Europe, and even fled as far as Hungary.

The elite soldiers led by Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi attacked the Xiongnu respectively, so the Xiongnu are now mainly distributed in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia in China.

It belongs to the area of Inner Mongolia in Gansu, the northern part of Shanxi, and this part of the area is where the Xiongnu once existed.

The Xiongnu are now the Inner Mongolia region of China, mainly in the Yinshan area of Inner Mongolia.

I think there are many reasons for this.

1. The battle achievements are not obvious: although it is a victory, but a tragic victory, even if the reason is not only in Wei Qing, but as the commander of an army, he must bear a certain responsibility (but I personally think that this is not the main reason, because Huo Qubing also lost three-tenths of his troops);

2, Li Guangzhi's death: Although the main responsibility is not Wei Qing, he is the executor after all, which is equivalent to carrying the black pot for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the Li family in Longxi was a famous family, and they always had to be scrupulous;

3. The transfer of the military center: The rise of Huo Qubing was accompanied by the loss of Wei Qing, and it was extremely obvious that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had raised Huo Quwei. Personally, I think that the main reasons for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are as follows:

1. Although Wei Qing is undefeated, an empire cannot always rely on only one person, and rising stars are a must; 2. Wei Qinggong is the master, and it must be guarded against; 3, fight the power of foreign relatives, but it can't be weakened (otherwise the young prince at that time will not be able to sit in the position of the prince), so they must find a family member to share power (Huo Quzhi is Wei Qing's nephew); 4, Huo Quzhi is young and sharp, straightforward, very much liked by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and I personally think that Huo Quzhi, who has a straightforward personality, feels better controlled than the introverted Wei Qing; 5, Huo Quai's young man was ambitious, and there were more or less generals in the army who were not convinced, which was smaller than the Weiqing force that shared weal and woe with the soldiers.

4. The master of high merit: There are too many rewards, so I won't say much about this.

5. Suppress relatives: The weight of relatives is a taboo for the Son of Heaven, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty must strike at him, but at the same time he must be pacified to avoid catastrophes, so he must also seal the Great Sima.

6. Role change: At that time, Wei Qing had become a spiritual leader in the military, and the best thing for a general who had ascended to the altar was not to go on the expedition again, so not rewarding the generals could show the generals to the greatest extent: in the future, Huo Qubing would lead the troops to the expedition, and Wei Qing would turn to the center of the dispatch.

Wei Qing may also have his own reasons for not going to fight, and his body will definitely be affected after more than ten years of fighting.

has already been rewarded to the top, and if you reward it again, you will be crowned king.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tried to contain Wei Qing in order to prevent Empress Wei Qing and the crown prince from having too much power and threatening the throne.

Rewarded, crowned Da Sima.

The three battles of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu began in the sixth year of Emperor Wu Yuanguang (129 BC), which lasted for 44 years, and can be marked by the victory of the decisive battle of Mobei, which is divided into two stages before and after, and the first stage is the main body. During this period, the Han army had three major counterattacks against the Xiongnu (also known as the Five Great Battles) and achieved decisive victories, which fundamentally solved the problem of harassment of the Xiongnu in the south. These three strategic counterattacks were the battles of Henan, Monan, Hexi and Mobei.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were three main battles of the Northern Expedition against the Xiongnu. For the first time, in 127 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing and Li Xi to advance along the north bank of the Yellow River, adopting the strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the weak, detouring back to Longxi, encircling the Xiongnu army south of the Hetao and its south, completely recovering the Henan region, and removing the threat of the Xiongnu to Chang'an. The second time in 121 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo to the Xiongnu realm for more than 1,000 miles, and the Xiongnu soldiers fought in close combat, won a complete victory, and attacked Qilian Mountain, once again broke the Xiongnu army, captured more than 30,000 people, and the Xiongnu nobles in Hexi suffered heavy losses.

The third time in 119 BC, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing marched in the east and west, and went deep into Mobei to fight, which was the largest expedition. Wei Qing advanced more than 1,000 miles to the north, and Huo Qubing penetrated more than 2,000 miles, so that all the main forces of the Xiongnu were annihilated. After this battle, the Xiongnu's strength was greatly weakened, and they were no longer able to move south, and they were no longer able to confront the Han.

The danger on the northern border of the Western Han Dynasty was completely lifted.

Because he was blinded by other people at that time, and he also thought that Wei Qing might hurt himself, he was trying to protect himself.

The main reason is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became mediocre in the later period, and he was addicted to alchemy and superstitious witchcraft. The Wei family was destroyed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because of the witch curse.

Wei Qing changed the Xiongnu offensive mode, the Han Dynasty changed the defensive side to the active attacker, since then, the offensive and defensive changes shape, Kou can go, I can also go, has laid the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu offensive national policy.

Wei Qing is a famous military strategist of the Western Han Dynasty, the first time he fought with the Xiongnu, captured 700 people, the rest of them failed, it was the first victory, and then he fought 6 major battles with the Xiongnu, recovered a large amount of land, opened up the territory, and made great achievements.

Wei Qing is the vanguard of the reform of the Han army, creating a revolutionary initiative of going deep into the enemy's den, attacking long-distancely, and capturing the enemy first, and changing the passive war situation of positional warfare, attacking fortified positions, and defensive warfare in the Central Plains of China for a long time, forming a new flexible and active movement tactics that drive straight into the dragon city, changing the original passive defense, using the Great Wall as a fortress, and waiting for a long time to withstand the battle, which has the significance of military creative reform and innovation.
