Why was the siege of Mayi during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in vain?

The failure of Ma Yi's conspiracy was defeated in one detail. This detail is that the Han army transferred the herdsmen in the ambush circle, but the sheep and cattle did not have time to move. The Huns, who were good at grazing, were alert when they saw the strange situation of only cattle and sheep without shepherds.

I think there are several reasons, such as not knowing enough about the enemy, and there are also traitors, so it will be in vain.

Even success could not completely eliminate the Huns. The disappearance of a people cannot be solved by one or two wars. Therefore, many people regret that the siege of Mayi was not successful and superficial.

Because it did not occupy the right time, place and people, and secondly, we must know ourselves and know that we will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Strategic mistakes: Kill one, and the Xiongnu alone can set up another one.

Tactical Mistakes It is impossible to mobilize 300,000 main forces without knowing it, and the Huns immediately saw the flaws.

In fact, I feel that he should not be good enough on his own, so it will lead to his futility.

This is a sharp question! There are several reasons for this.

Directly responsible: The pavilion captain who guarded the beacon tower revealed the Han army's encirclement plan to Yi Zhixiao, causing the Xiongnu army to retreat before reaching the encirclement.

Indirect responsible: Wang Hui, the organizer, lacks strategy, will not lure the enemy, and is timid and afraid. There are no cattle and sheep all over the mountains and fields that are left unattended, unless a fool is not suspicious.

There is also a bad job of secrecy, everyone knows it, and what is it called a secret. In addition, Wang Hui did not pursue the Huns because of his timidity when they retreated (in his words, to preserve the strength of the Han army). It's just nonsense:

In your pursuit, with your 30,000 people, the 100,000 troops of the Huns can still eat you at once, and they dare to delay, and then the 270,000 Han troops can leave them behind as soon as they arrive. The greatest possibility is that as soon as the Han army pursues, the Huns will immediately withdraw, at least with some success. Fortunately, Wang Hui's family was cut down when they returned alive, otherwise it would have caused the loss of opportunities.

I don't know, but it's certainly not me.

The futility of the siege of Mayi during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was caused by Li Guangli's greed for merit, and the reason for the failure was the incompetence of the generals.

I think the most fundamental reason is that the Huns were not fooled. The reason is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not understand the habits of the Xiongnu, and the main reason was that he had no experience in this area.

The siege of Mayi was well planned, and the Xiongnu army really set out for Mayi, but before entering the encirclement of the Han army, the Xiongnu army retreated, resulting in the defeat of Hengkai. No matter how good the plan is, there is no guarantee that the variables will appear.
