Although there was no satellite positioning system in ancient times, Huo Qubing successfully carried out a precise attack on the Xiongnu, mainly for the following reasonsFirst, ancient armies had "scouts" that could accurately discover the location of enemy troops. The second is that Huo Qubing can use the Xiongnu prisoners of war as guides and let them lead the way, so that they can naturally find the Xiongnu lair. Third, Huo Qubing can use the map as a guide and reference for the march to ensure the correctness of the marching route.
1. The "scouts" in the ancient army were the "clairvoyants" and "ears of the wind" of the generals
In modern warfare, the role of scouts is irreplaceable. Before and during the war, they went deep into the enemy's territory and accurately reconnoitred the enemy's military deployment and defensive setup, so that they could know themselves and the enemy before attacking. The ancients did the same in this regard.
Scouts in ancient armies were called "scouts", and they were not directly involved in combat, but were responsible for detecting and reconnoitring enemy intelligence.
The scouts "wore civilian clothes, carried dry rations, rode war horses, paid close attention to the enemy's movements, familiarized themselves with the location of the enemy's camps, warehouses, base camps, etc., and reported the situation to the commander-in-chief at any time." The commander can then carry out precision strikes on the enemy based on the intelligence of the "scouts". Huo Quzhi is good at long-distance raids, and he must attach great importance to scouts.
Second, Huo Qubing could use the Xiongnu prisoners of war as guides to accurately know the location of the Xiongnu army and its nest
Huo Qubing suddenly came to the vast northern grasslands from the interior of the Central Plains, and he was not familiar with the geography and people, so he would inevitably use the Xiongnu prisoners of war as guides. They grew up in Si and were very familiar with the rules of action and camping of the Xiongnu army, and with their help, they could naturally carry out precision strikes against the Xiongnu.
3. Huo Qubing can use the map as a guide and reference for the march
The history of maps in China is very ancient, and there were already relatively mature maps during the Han Dynasty. Huo Quai's thousand-mile expedition is naturally indispensable to his side. With the help of a map, it is guaranteed not to get lost during the march and deliver pinpoint strikes on enemy troops.
It is precisely because of the above three reasons that Huo Qubing created a brilliant record of breaking the Huns.
-
Because there were spies in ancient times, they went deep into the enemy's army and were able to accurately provide the enemy's interior, in addition to this, prisoners of war were also a good guide.
-
Because Huo Qubing recruited a group of Huns, because the Huns have lived in the desert since childhood, they are familiar with the places where they live and the gathering places of the troops, and guide the direction of Huo Quai's troops.
-
Because he has spies and spies, it is still easy to buy one or two people with money, so he can still carry out precision strikes.

"Feng Wolf Son-in-law" is a great achievement that the ancient generals of our country have been longing for all their lives, and we all know that the first to achieve this great cause is the famous general Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty. As the second famous general under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Quzhi can be said to be a young man, he became the commander of the three armies at a young age, which is also a position that countless generals have difficult to achieve in their lives. And it is worth mentioning that Huo Quzhi's performance in the Han-Hungarian War was even more impeccable, he relied on the "steady, accurate and ruthless" method, in a very short time to find the Xiongnu's lair, and annihilated it in one fell swoop, creating a great achievement that is difficult for future generations to achieve.
However, we know that there was no such thing as satellite positioning in ancient times, so how did Huo Qubing accurately find the Xiongnu nest in a short period of time? Just because of a little trick.
In fact, the reason why Huo Quzhi was able to achieve the feat of sealing the wolf Juxu in a short period of time is actually a simple old saying: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! You must know that Huo Quai's army entered the Xiongnu deeply, and it is not easy to find out the law of the Xiongnu's activities in a short period of time, let alone find the Xiongnu's lair.
Therefore, if you want to achieve special results, you must adopt special means and use special generals.
It can be said that Huo Qubing was born a genius who eats the bowl of rice of the general, because he never follows the rules when he fights, and he will not fight for stability like some veterans. Therefore, after arriving at the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing immediately began to boldly use some "Xiongnu Tong", most of these generals were Xiongnu people, so they must have a clear understanding of the situation of the Xiongnu. Therefore, under the leadership of these "Huns", Huo Qubing was naturally able to find the lair of the Huns in a short time, thus creating a meritorious feat through the ages.
In fact, the reason why the way of appointing "Xiongnu Tong" generals is not accepted by most Han generals is that it is difficult for people to trust them, after all, once these Huns have problems and become undercover agents, then the Han army will fall into an unimaginable crisis. Therefore, most generals basically did not use the Huns in order to seek stability, and this also caused the Han-Hungarian War before Huo Qu's disease to be difficult to achieve. But Huo Qubing gave full trust to the Xiongnu generals, and the famous Xiongnu generals under his account also continued to emerge, such as those who could be named in history, such as Fuduo, Zhao Ponu and Fulu Branch.
Under the leadership of Huo Quzhi, these Huns actively contributed to the Han Dynasty, and they also received corresponding rewards and titles.
-
Because he has informants and scouts, after all, it is impossible for tens of thousands of people to hide their whereabouts, so he can go straight to the Xiongnu's lair.
-
Ancient warfare was very particular, there were secret agents on both sides, Huo Qubing was able to successfully find the lair of the Huns, and it was likely that the secret agents sent him a letter and led the way.
-
At that time, people used the sun to determine their orientation, and as long as the direction was not wrong, then they could reach their destination.
-
Because Huo Qubing is strategic, his military talent is very strong. When he fought against the Xiongnu, he was very sure of the army's spirit and finally won the victory.
-
It may be because he is familiar with the living habits of the Xiongnu, and then he has read a lot of military books, so he can accurately hit the key points of the Xiongnu.
-
Because he had spies and spies, there was no way for thousands of people to hide their tracks, so he was able to pinpoint the strike.
-
Because the Xiongnu generally lived on the grassland, they all lived in pursuit of water and grass. Therefore, the aquatic plants grow more vigorously. The Xiongnu will definitely haunt there, so Huo Quzhi only needs to go to the place where the aquatic grass grows more vigorously.
-
Because Huo Qubing would send intelligence officers to explore the enemy situation before every battle. Therefore, Huo Qubing was able to carry out precise strikes against the Xiongnu.
-
Because of his spies and espionage ability, there was no way for the thousands of Huns to hide, and it was very easy to find them.
-
I think that in the dynasty at that time, the tribal branches of the Xiongnu were all in a recognized place, and there was a range of places that could achieve precise strikes against the Xiongnu.
-
Because there were Huns in Huo Quai's army. It was thanks to the help of these Huns that he was able to hit the Huns accurately.
-
Because he has spies and scouts, there is no way for thousands of people to be completely hidden, so Huo Quzhi can accurately find them.
-
The reason why Huo Qubing was able to find the Hun army every time and strike accurately was because he used the captured Huns as guides. Not only that, but he also used the earliest compass, the CSR.
Huo Qubing is the nephew of the famous general Wei Qing of the Western Han Dynasty, he has been good at riding and archery since he was a child, and then grew up to follow Wei Qing to attack the Huns in the north. At that time, the biggest enemy of the Western Han Dynasty - the Xiongnu, they lived deep in the desert, and people who were not familiar with the desert terrain were easy to get lost, so many generals of the Western Han Dynasty suffered the loss of not knowing the road. When it came time for Huo Qu's illness, he found a good solution to the problem of getting lost, that is, to use the captured Huns as guides.
Not only that, Huo Qubing also used these prisoners to make some groceries for the army, which ensured the logistics of the troops very well, which was a double win.
You may have doubts, although there was no GPS in ancient times, but there would also be a guide specially set up for the expeditionary army. Why did Huo Qubing abandon the Han guides and use the Huns as guides? The reason is very simple, because at the same time guides, but for the topography and direction of the desert, the Han people are far less familiar than the Huns.
Therefore, it is most reliable to use the Huns to lead the way for himself, which shows that Huo Quzhi is a very courageous and wise general.
Not only that, Huo Quzhi also prepared the earliest compass for his army - Che Nan, although this Che Nan is only the simplest prototype of the compass, but for the social environment at that time, its usefulness was enough. The Huns pointed the way, and the south of the Che was the guarantee, and Huo Quzhi used the double guarantee to accurately determine the location of the Huns in the desert, so as to ensure that he could respond in the shortest possible time, seize the opportunity, and lay a solid foundation for winning the battle. It is precisely because of Huo Quai's courage and resourcefulness that he has achieved his extraordinary achievements.
It's a pity that Huo Quzhi, who is so brave and good at fighting, died at the age of 23, he is really jealous of talent!
-
Because the reconnaissance ability of the army at that time was very strong, and the understanding of the terrain was also very good, the original area was not very large, and it was easy to figure it out.
-
Because there is eyeliner in the insertion. Huo Qubing has spies in the places where the Huns often haunt, and they can find out the location of the Huns in a timely and accurate manner, so they can carry out precise strikes on the Huns every time.
-
Because he has spies, these people can pass on accurate information, and it is not so easy for tens of thousands of people to hide.
-
Xiao Huo and Lao Wei had Huns to help identify the way.
In the sixth year of Motokami (117 BC), he died of illness. >>>More
This is related to his keen military sense, excellent ability to command the army, and it is also inseparable from his scouts and military advisors.
If Huo Qubing hadn't died young, He Weiqing would definitely have been able to completely wipe out the Huns. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty clearly understood the threat of the Xiongnu to the Central Plains, he spared no effort to support the war against the Xiongnu.
Because Huo Quzhi is a respectable general, he himself is very strict with himself, so although he often beats and scolds soldiers, butBecause he himself is also fighting against the Huns, he is very desperate, and the soldiers below are also more convincedWho wouldn't admire such a powerful general? >>>More
The first question: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Huo Quai's tomb next to his mausoleum, first, to commend his merits, secondly, to set an example for other generals, thirdly, to show the emperor's grace, and fourthly, to hope that others could serve the country like Huo Quzhi. >>>More
