He conspired with the 822 Academic Guard General

It may be that there were more face masters in the Han Dynasty, and at this time, another legendary face figure appeared. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once, when Wei Qing came to Ganquan Palace with others, a prisoner wearing an iron hammer saw his appearance and said, "This is the face of a nobleman, the official is the marquis." Wei Qing said with a smile: "As the son of a human slave, I just want to avoid being flogged, which is already a great blessing, where can I talk about meritorious service?" ”

Soon after this, Wei Qing's third sister, Wei Zifu, was favored by Emperor Wu of Han, who was visiting Pingyang Mansion in Ba Shang's tomb. There was nothing unusual when he first entered the palace, but the next year, Wei Zifu was fortunate to be pregnant again, which aroused the jealousy of Queen Chen. It was inconvenient to attack Wei Zifu directly, so he sent someone to arrest Wei Qing, who was in the process of establishing a chapter, with the intention of killing.

After his colleague Sun Ao heard the news, he led people to rush to save Wei Qing.

This matter was later known to Emperor Wu of Han, who was furious and immediately appointed Wei Qing as the supervisor of Jianzhang and the servant, and continued to reward Wei Qing for several days, amounting to thousands of gold. And he deliberately alienated Queen Chen's family and promoted the Wei family. Feng Wei Zifu is his wife, and Wei Changjun is his servant. Wei Ru married Sun He, the servant of the imperial servant, and Wei Shao'er married Chen Shichen, Chen Zhang, Chen Ping's descendant. The grandson Ao who rescued Wei Qing was also noble. Wei Qing was later appointed as a doctor in Taizhong, and he was in charge of the government's political affairs.

In the following ten years, Wei Qing followed the emperor as a supervisor and servant, listened to the government every day, and then became a doctor in Taizhong, which showed that his talent won the trust of Emperor Wu, and laid a good foundation for the later seven expeditions against the Xiongnu, and even the general of the Great Sima to participate in political affairs in the inner dynasty and take charge of the plane.

In this year, the Xiongnu army marched south and pointed directly at the upper valley. Emperor Wu of Han appointed Wei Qing as a general of chariot cavalry and led 10,000 cavalry to meet the Xiongnu. In this battle, Emperor Wu of Han sent a total of four soldiers and horses. The general of the chariot cavalry Wei Qing went out of Shanggu, the cavalry general Sun Ao went out of Dai County, the light car general Sun Gong was out of the clouds, and the cavalry general Li Guang was out of Yanmen.

This was Wei Qing's first expedition, bold and calm, deep into the dangerous realm, directly attacked the Xiongnu sacrifice to the heavenly holy land Longcheng, the first 700 people, and won a great victory. In the other three, two failed and returned all the way. The Battle of Longcheng was the first victory against the Xiongnu since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and it also laid a good foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's all-out counterattack against the Xiongnu.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that only Wei Qing was victorious and triumphant, and named Wei Qing as the Marquis of Guannei. The face of the master explained the face, and it was really harmful.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

In the autumn of the following year, Wei Qing rode the general out of Yanmen, led 30,000 cavalry, and drove into the army to behead thousands of people.

In the third year, the Xiongnu invaded Shanggu and Yuyang again, first broke through Liaoxi, killed Liaoxi Taishou, defeated the Yuyang defender Han Anguo, and plundered more than 2,000 people. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to lead a large army to attack the Hetao region where the Xiongnu were located. Wei Qing used the tactic of "roundabout attack" to go around the rear of the Xiongnu army and quickly cut off the connection between the Xiongnu Aries King and the Lou Xi King in the royal court.

Then, he led the elite cavalry and flew the troops south, entering the west of Xuxian County, forming a siege of the Aries King and the Lou Xuan King. The Han army captured thousands of enemy soldiers alive, seized millions of livestock, and took control of the Hetao area.

Because of the fertile, water, grass and dangerous situation in this area, Emperor Wu built Shuofang City here, set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, migrated 100,000 people from the mainland to settle there, and also repaired the border fortresses and fortifications along the river built by Meng Tian in the Qin period. From this move, the direct threat of the Xiongnu cavalry to Chang'an was relieved, and a forward base for further counterattacking the Xiongnu was also established.

After this battle, Wei Qing was named the Marquis of Changping because of his great merits, with 3,800 households.

In the fourth year, the Xiongnu attacked Daijun and Yanmen with tens of thousands of cavalry, killing and plundering more than 1,000 people. In the fifth year, the Xiongnu made 30,000 cavalry each invade Daijun, Dingxiang and Shangjun. In the sixth year, Emperor Wu of Han couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the general Wei Qing to lead 30,000 cavalry troops from Gao, and the other generals to attack the Xiongnu in separate ways.

At that time, the Xiongnu Youxian King was facing the army of Wei Qing and others, thinking that it was impossible for the Han Dynasty army to drive straight into this area, so he drank wine. Unexpectedly, Wei Qing rode forward lightly and surrounded the king of Youxian at night. The king of Youxian was shocked and fled all night. In this battle, the Han army captured more than 10 people, more than 150,000 men and women, and tens of thousands of livestock.

After receiving the war report, Emperor Wu of Han was overjoyed, and sent an envoy to the army with a seal letter to pay homage to Wei Qing as the general, and sealed 8,700 households), and ordered all the generals to be under his command. Wei Qing's three sons were all made princes by Emperor Wu of Han. The eldest son Wei is the Marquis of Yichun, and the second son Wei is undoubtedly the Marquis of Yin'an, and even the youngest son Wei Deng is also named the Marquis of Fagan, with 1,300 households. The generals who followed Wei Qing's battle, Sun Ao and other generals were also rewarded. The prestige of the Great General Wei is no longer surpassed.

However, Wei Qing is not proud of this. In the seventh year, on the orders of Han Wu, he twice led 100,000 cavalry troops to attack the Xiongnu and killed more than 10,000 enemies.

In the following year, he went out to conquer the Xiongnu again, and his nephew Huo Qu showed his head on the sick island, with 800 elite cavalry, ran hundreds of miles in the desert, beheaded more than 2,000 enemies, killed the Xiongnu alone in his grandfather, captured the minister and uncle of the state alone, and was named the champion of the Marquis in the first war. Wei Qing was also able to join forces with Huo Quai's uncle and nephew, complementing each other.

In the following years, the number of Xiongnu invasions decreased. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to prepare for several years, and with the combined efforts of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, he dealt a fatal blow to the Xiongnu, and launched the Battle of Mobei three years later. Ling Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each led 50,000 cavalry, infantry and more than 100,000 troops of transport materials, divided into two routes, crossed the desert, and attacked the Xiongnu.

Originally, it was planned that Huo Qubing would fight against the Xiongnu alone as the main force, and Wei Qing would fight against King Zuoxian. Unexpectedly, the Weiqing army had just left the fortress for more than 1,000 miles, and it encountered the main force of the Xiongnu alone. In times of crisis, Wei Qing did not panic and ordered former general Li Guang and others to outflank him from the right flank. He has been fighting from the main force head-on.

At this time, it happened that the sun was about to set, a strong wind blew, sand and rocks were flying, and neither army could see each other, so a melee began, and the number of casualties on both sides was about the same. At this time, Wei Qing captured the Xiongnu captives, saying that the Xiongnu had escaped before it was dark. So he shouted loudly for the Xiongnu commander to flee, and sent light cavalry to pursue him. The Hun soldiers scattered and fled, thousands of miles away.

In this battle, more than 19,000 enemy soldiers were captured and killed, and the troops reached Zhaoxin City in the Cave Mountain, and obtained countless grain and food from the Xiongnu. Wei Qing asked the Han army to stay for a day and burned all the remaining grain in the city before returning.

The battle of Mobei struck the main force of the Xiongnu in Monan, and from then on, "the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in Monan", and began to gradually migrate to the northwest, and there was no strength to go south for more than ten years. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also appointed Wei Qing as the chief secretary of the army, acting as a lieutenant to manage daily military and administrative affairs.

It stands to reason that Wei Qing's achievements at this time are similar to Zhou Yafu's, but they are different from Zhou Yafu. Wei Qing acted in a very low-key manner, even if he was an extremely courteous minister, he always maintained humility and respect, and recommended his master father Yan and Xianxuan to Emperor Wu of Han, and later became a trusted minister of Emperor Wu of Han.

Moreover, Wei Qing has not only done a good job, but is also really broad-minded.

With the increasing respect of his status, Emperor Wu of Han hoped that his ministers would bow down when they saw Wei Qing. And a minister Ji Di saw Wei Qing, but he still performed the same ceremony. But Wei Qing was not only not angry, but respected Ji Di even more, and often asked Ji Di about the difficult matters of the country and the DPRK, and looked at the many people Ji Di had made friends with over the ordinary.

Wei Qing is not only low-key and introverted, but also kind-hearted.

Shortly after he was promoted to general, his subordinate Su Jian, who led 3,000 cavalry, unexpectedly encountered a large single force of tens of thousands, and the former general Zhao Xin was on the verge of defection, and after a day of hard fighting, Su Jian fled back alone.

At this time, there were differences in the military on the question of whether to kill Su Jianyi and establish the prestige of the general. Some people said that the art of war stresses that "a small enemy is strong, and a big enemy is captured." Su Jianyi had fewer enemies and more enemies, and he did not have two hearts when the whole army was wiped out, so he should not be killed. Others said that Wei Qing had not killed a deputy general since he took office, and that it was the right time to kill Su Jian and "Liwei."

When it was Wei Qing's turn to speak, he vetoed the words of "killing the general Liwei" and said that he would not worry about the lack of prestige if he was appointed as a general with the grace of the Son of Heaven. However, although I had the right to kill in life, I didn't dare to do it, and I still handed it over to the Son of Heaven to decide. So, let the people be escorted back to the capital in a prisoner car.

As a matter of fact, he was not killed on the spot, which was quite a matter of letting Su Jian go. Because the Han Dynasty had a law on money, it was handed over to the emperor in a prisoner's car, which not only gave Su Jian a way out, but also respected the supreme decision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

From this incident, it can be seen very clearly that after Wei Qinggui became a general, he did not have dictatorship, nor did he get carried away, and what he always thought about was respecting the supreme power of the emperor. The result of this kind of active evasion of "meritorious service and shaking the master" is certainly very effective.

Later facts also proved this, and after arriving in the capital, Emperor Wu of Han really released Su Jianbai as a concubine. Only here was Su Jian's son Su Wu, who was detained outside the Saiwai for more than 10 years and still returned to Han without change, which shows his determination. Wei Qing and Emperor Wu of Han joined forces to pardon Su Jian, which also became a topic of relishment for later generations.

Because Wei Qing was originally a man with strong affinity, and after pardoning Su Jian, the generals who followed Wei Qing, including some people who had been sent to Chang'an, all said: "The generals are desperate for the army, and all the generals are happy to be used by the generals."

As for the relationship between Wei Qing and his nephew Huo Quai, which is often discussed by people, Wei Qing also handled it very well. After the Great War of Mobei, under the influence of "no merit can not be crowned", the subordinates who pursued military merit left Wei Qing, who no longer went on the expedition, and switched to Huo Quaimen, who was still fighting on the front line, so he often got official titles.

So some people walked around and said that their uncle-nephew relationship was not good. But Wei Qing didn't think so, and didn't care about these rumors at all. It should be the same for Huo Quai.

A series of events that happened later also proved that it was precisely because of Wei Qing's open-mindedness that Huo Quzhi's relationship with him was not the rumored discord, but very kind!
