Chapter 555 The Great Han vs. the Huns
After the three girls entered the room, Ying Zheng stepped forward and waved to Meng Tian and the others, "Everyone, please take a seat."
They replied, "Sir, please be seated."
Then everyone sat down on the stone benches.
"Lao Meng, you brought three old people here, do you have any questions you want to ask?" Qin An asked.
He knows that as long as the newcomers here have a lot of problems.
When Gan Luo came last time, he asked a lot, even about such a trivial matter as the death of Great Qin II.
Now that there are three new people, and they are all old people, I am afraid that there will be more problems.
Qin An was already ready and waiting for them to ask.
Meng Tian smiled and said, "Mr. still knows about us, the three family masters, why don't I ask questions first."
"Okay." Bai Siqi and the three of them nodded directly in agreement.
"Thank you." Meng Yi said.
Then, he looked at Qin An and said, "Sir. In fact, I just want to know how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified the Xiongnu back then.
At that time, you said that Meng Tian drove the Xiongnu out of the Great Qin, and later when the Han Dynasty arrived, they made a comeback and deeply endangered the Great Han Dynasty.
Finally, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completely pacified the Xiongnu and solved this worry.
I just want to know the details in detail."
Qin An sighed and said, "It's hard for me to know in the middle, but I know about the big battle, and I also know that there are several generals under Emperor Wu of Han, without them, Emperor Wu of Han would not have been able to pacify the Xiongnu."
"Please elaborate, sir." Meng Tian said with a serious expression.
Qin An bowed his head and said, "I'll first talk about a few generals under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the most famous are two generals, they are called Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi.
Both were poor families and were born very humble.
I'll talk about Wei Qing first, he is actually a horseman, to be more specific, a horseman, but he has extraordinary courage and military talent.
By chance, he saved the princess of the dynasty, that is, the sister of Emperor Wu of Han, and at that time he was taken by the princess and introduced to Emperor Wu of Han.
At that time, Emperor Wu of Han was not an emperor, he was just a crown prince.
This first meeting, Wei Qing showed his very military talent and Soma talent.
And against the Xiongnu, he even said a set of unique opinions, and since then Wei Qing has entered the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Under the coercion of the Huns, the court wanted to give the princess and relatives to the Xiongnu, but was rejected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and finally married the princess to Wei Qing and made him his brother-in-law.
At that time, the princess and Wei Qing were already in love, which was also a good story, but I won't say more.
But what surprises you even more is that Emperor Wu of Han married Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu as the empress, so that they can kiss each other."
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, this relationship is really hard enough, the elder brother marries the elder sister, the younger brother marries the younger sister, one is a brother-in-law, and the other is a brother-in-law and an eldest brother.
It can only be said that the world is impermanent, and the large intestine encloses the small intestine.
Qin An didn't talk too much about this matter and continued: "After Emperor Wu of Han became emperor and took control of real power, Emperor Wu of Han let Wei Qing temper his tempering for a few years before he led a large army to attack the Xiongnu.
Wei Qing fought the Xiongnu a total of six times.
Dragon City Victory: The first time to lead troops. The Han army sent troops in four ways, and the three routes were defeated in vain, only Wei Qing won all the way, and attacked the Xiongnu holy land Longcheng, capturing more than 700 people.
Recovering the Hetao: The second time he and Li Xi led troops to attack the Xiongnu, sent troops from Yunzhong, passed through Gaoque in the west, and then went west until Fuli, recovered the jurisdiction of the original Qin Dynasty south of the Hetao, and set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County in the Hetao area south of Yinshan.
Surprise attack on Gaoque: The third surprise attack on Gaoque, surrounded the right Xianwang, captured more than ten Xiao Wang, more than 15,000 men and women, and millions of livestock.
Two out of Dingxiang: He led 100,000 cavalry to attack the Huns twice and annihilated more than 10,000 Hun troops.
Mobei War: Divided his troops with Huo Qubing and traveled far away to Mobei, met with Shan Yu's main force, formed a formation with Wugang car, and defeated the strong with the weak.
These six wars directly suppressed the arrogance of the Huns, and at the same time completely subdued the Huns."
"Okay. Well done." Meng Tian said excitedly, "The people of my generation should resist foreign enemies, kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor, and completely subdue it."
Bai Siqi said: "This Wei Qing can win every battle against the Huns, and he is indeed a rare talent."
Meng Xifan and the others nodded one after another.
It's a pity that they lived in different eras, otherwise the Huns would not have been in trouble.
"What about Huo Qu's illness?" Meng Tian asked.
"Huo Quzhi is the nephew of Hygiene." Qin An said, "But whether it is a nephew or a human nephew, there is no way to investigate.
But there is one point, Huo Quzhi calls Wei Qing as his uncle in front of people every day, and Wei Qing makes an elder.
And Huo Qu's illness is even more severe, he was seventeen years old in a war marquis, with 800 cavalry dared to go straight to the Huns' nest, and achieved a major victory, was praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as "the three armies of the brave crown", so he was named the champion Hou.
At the age of nineteen, the two battles of Hexi achieved an absolute victory, and the Huns sang a sad song: Lose my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; The loss of my mountain makes my women colorless.
Just at the age of twenty-one, he won the highest honor of all the military generals of all Chinese dynasties, "Feng Wolf Juxu", and since then the Huns have fled far away, and there is no royal court in Monan.
It's a pity that when he was twenty-four years old, Huo Qu died of illness."
"Death?" Everyone was shocked.
Bai Siqi couldn't help but say, "God is jealous of talents."
"It's a huge loss for the big man to go like this."
Meng Tian immediately asked, "What disease did Huo Qu have?" It is impossible for an ordinary military general to get sick easily."
"The "Historical Records" records that Huo Qubing was plagued, and at that time, Huo Qubing led his army north to conquer the Xiongnu, all the way to the depths of the desert. However, in this barren desert, his troops were confronted with a severe plague. Due to the limitations of medical conditions, Huo Quzhi eventually contracted the disease and died." Qin An said with a look of recollection.
He learned this history when he was in high school, and when he saw something he was interested in, he went to look up a lot of information.
The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Xiongnu was not only the courage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also the wealth accumulated by the two emperors Wenjing.
In addition, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions brought countless excellent war horses to the Han Dynasty, and there were many allies to deal with the Xiongnu together.
Of course, the ability and courage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are indispensable, without his courage, I am afraid that there will be a group of peacemakers in the court who will let the court continue to make peace and continue to be flaunted by the Xiongnu.
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Meng Tian said, "If Huo Qubing hadn't died of illness, I'm afraid the land of Huaxia would have expanded."
