Yizhi Xian Shan Yu and Youxian Wang fled to the north of the desert, and only King Xiutu and King Hun were left in the Hexi region. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the cavalry general Huo Qubing to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu from Longxi County in the north. Crossing the Hunu water, passing through five kingdoms, fighting for six days, crossing the Yanzhi Mountain for more than 1,000 miles, killing the Xiongnu Zhelan King, beheading the Luhou King, capturing the prince of the Hun Evil King and Xiangguo, Du Wei, his beheading captured more than 8,900 Xiongnu soldiers, and captured the King of Hutu to sacrifice to the heavenly golden people. The Han army lost seven-tenths. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to increase the number of sick food towns by 2,000 households.
Huo Qubing and his co-cavalry Hou Gongsun Ao led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack the Xiongnu from Beidi County at the same time, and the guard commander Zhang Qian and Lang Zhong Lingguang also attacked from Beiping County on the right at the same time to contain King Zuoxian. Li Guang led 4,000 cavalry as the vanguard, about hundreds of miles away from the large army, and Zhang Qian led more than 10,000 cavalry to the rear of the palace. King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu led 40,000 cavalry and surrounded the vanguard led by Li Guang. Li Guang ordered his son Li Dang to lead dozens of cavalry straight through the enemy formation, rush out from the left and right of the enemy formation, and then return. Li Guang ordered the enemy army to form a circular battle formation below, and the Hun soldiers attacked the position of the Han army, and the arrows rained down, and more than half of the Han army was killed, and the arrows were also exhausted. Li Guang ordered his subordinates to draw the bowstring and not fire, he personally shot several Xiongnu generals in a row with a rhubarb strong bow, and the Xiongnu offensive gradually eased down. The next day, the Han army fought again, destroying more enemies than their own losses. Zhang Qian's army arrived, and the Huns withdrew from the siege. The Han army was unable to pursue and withdrew its troops and returned. According to Han Law: Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, delayed the military plane, should be executed, and become a civilian after redemption. Li Guanggong offset each other, and there was no reward.
Huo Quai, the general of the ticket cavalry, went deep into the Xiongnu for more than 2,000 miles, lost contact with the disoriented Gongsun Ao, and failed to join the division. However, Huo Qubing led the troops across the Juyan Sea, passed through the Xiaoyue clan along the weak water to the southwest, and arrived at the Qilian Mountains in the east, capturing the two kings of Shan Huan and the chief Tu, and the prime minister and the lieutenant led 2,500 people to surrender, killing 30,200 people and capturing more than 70 people of Xiao Wang. The Han army lost three-tenths. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty added 5,000 households to Huo Quai, and named his subordinate meritorious generals Eagle Strike Sima Zhao Ponu as the subordinate ticket marquis, the school captain Gao Buzhi was the Yiguan marquis, and the school captains and servants were mostly the qu marquis. Heqi Hou Gongsun Ao was unable to join Huo Quai's illness due to a stay on the way, and should have been beheaded, and became a civilian after redemption.
The evil king of Hun and the king of Hutu were captured and killed by the Han army, and Shan Yu was very angry and wanted to summon them to the royal court to be executed. The evil king of Hun and the king of Xiu Tu planned to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worried that they were using fraudulent means to sneak attack the border fortress, so he ordered Huo Qubing to lead his troops to meet him. King Hutu regretted his surrender to Han, and the evil king killed him and annexed his people. Huo Qu crossed the Yellow River with illness and looked at each other from afar. When the subordinates of the King of Hun saw the Han army, many of them did not want to surrender and fled. Huo Quai's horse galloped into the camp of the evil king, met him, killed 8,000 of his subordinates who tried to escape, and sent the evil king to meet Emperor Wu in a chariot. At the same time, he ordered all his subordinates to cross the Yellow River and surrendered more than 40,000 people. When the evil king arrived in Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was named the Marquis of Luoyin, with 10,000 households, and his subordinates, Xiao Wang Hu Poison Ni and other four people, were all named liehous. and added 1,700 households to eat the sick food of Huo Qu. The crown prince of Hutu, Jin Rikan, his mother Yan, and his younger brother Jin Lun were all punished as official slaves and sent to raise horses in Huangmen, which was under the jurisdiction of Shaofu.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relocated the subordinates of the Hun Evil King to the old fortresses of the five counties along the border, all south of the Yellow River, maintaining their original customs and habits, and setting up five "subject states". From then on, on the west bank of the Jincheng River, from the Nanshan Mountains to the area of Yanze, there were no Huns. In the same year, the Han Dynasty placed Jiuquan County here. It is divided into Zhangye County in the east of Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County in the west of Jiuquan County. The territory of King Hutu is Wuwei County.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty then sent the general Wei Qing to lead the army out of Dingxiang, and ordered Huo Qubing to lead the other elite of Daijun, hoping that the young general Huo Quzhi, whom he trusted more, would be able to capture Shan Yu alive.
After Wei Qing led the former general Li Guang, the left general Gongsun He, the right general Zhao Shiqi, and the later general Cao Xiang out of the fortress, he learned that Shan Yu had not gone east, so he led his elite troops to march quickly, and ordered Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi to respond in a roundabout way from the east road. Wei Qing traveled more than 1,000 miles, passed through the desert, and engaged Shan Yu who had already set up a formation, Wei Qing first surrounded the Wugang car as a camp, stabilized the position, and then sent 5,000 horsemen to fight. At dusk, the wind rose suddenly, the sand and gravel hit the face, and Wei Qing took advantage of the situation to command the cavalry to surround Shan Yu from both wings. Shan Yu saw that there were many troops in the Han Dynasty, the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and he expected that it would be difficult to win, so he led hundreds of elite cavalry, broke through and fled to the northwest, and the Xiongnu army was scattered. Wei Qing hurriedly sent light cavalry to pursue, and led the main force to follow up. Until Yanshan Zhao Xincheng, 19,000 people were captured and killed, and the losses were about the same, and the accumulated millet was burned to return to the division. Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi lost their way and failed to join Wei Qing in Mobei.
In the process of going deep into the north of the desert to find the main force of the Huns, Huo Qubing carried a small amount of heavy grain and grass, and drove the captured Huns to open the way for the Han soldiers to move forward, crossed the desert, crossed the river and captured Shan Yu Minister Zhangqu, killed the king of Beiche Qi, and then turned to attack the left general Shuang, and captured the enemy's military flag and war drums. He crossed Nanhou Mountain, crossed Gonglushui, and captured three people, including the king of Tuntou and the king of Han, and eighty-three people, including generals, Xiangguo, Danghu, and Duwei. In this expedition, Huo Qubing led the troops to capture and kill a total of 70,443 people with a loss of 10,000, and the main force of Zuo Xianwang's department has been almost completely wiped out since then. Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf to live in Xu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, and returned to the Hanhai Sea (now Lake Baikal, Russia). After this battle, King Zuoxian suffered a lot of losses, and at the same time lost control of Wuhuan, and the Han Dynasty was able to migrate Wuhuan to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong five counties outside the Saiwai, for the Han to reconnoiter the Xiongnu movements. It can be seen that before the Han broke the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wangland, it was the Huns who often invaded Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi and other places were the Huns headed by the Zuoxian Wang.
