I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 258 Bravely crowning the three armies, Huo Qubing...
In World War I, more than a dozen generals were named marquises.

You can understand how much credit this battle has had.

In fact it is.

After this battle, no one in Wei Qing dared to say that he came to power because of Wei Zifu's relationship.

instead.

Because Wei Qing's combat exploits were too great, Wei Zifu's position was even more consolidated.

Because Wei Zifu had such an outstanding younger brother, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty favored Wei Zifu even more.

even.

In the ten years until Wei Qing's death, Wei Zifu's status was also very high.

"Nimma, Wei Qing's achievements are probably unrivaled."

"If you take the Han Dynasty as an example, no one should be able to compare it."

"Let's not talk about the Han Dynasty, even before the Han Dynasty, after the Han Dynasty, there is no other general comparable to him."

I want to feel sorry for Li Guang.

At this moment, Wei Qing was like a god of war.

This also made countless fans feel a little elated.

after all.

Being chased and beaten by the Huns all year round is really heartwarming.

Look at the early years of the Han Dynasty.

Gaozu, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing... had no choice but to defend against the Xiongnu.

At this time, such a general appeared, that is simply a god-like existence.

"However, although Wei Qing is good at leading troops, he has not always been so awesome. After the Gaoque surprise attack in the battle of Dingxiang North, Wei Qing's performance this time was relatively average. Although Wei Qing beheaded more than 1 people in this battle, But his own casualties were also very large. Not only did he lose a lot of soldiers and horses in this battle, his subordinate Zhao Xin also surrendered to the Huns. But this was just Wei Qing's small mistake, and in the subsequent battle of Mobei, Wei Qing once again shine."

"Brother Fan, is the Battle of Mobei the one where Wei Qing took Li Guang?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "Although Li Guang lost his way in this battle, Wei Qing still won a huge victory after encountering the Huns' large army, killing more than 1 Huns. Not only that, this battle was a bit worse Captured the Xiongnu King Shanyu alive. But Shanyu saw that he was invincible, so he fled ahead of time. Wei Qing sent his men to chase him for more than 9 miles, but failed to catch up, and finally decided to return to the city. When returning to the city, he encountered a lost Li Guang."

"Uh……"

When it came to this, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

However, this battle is about Wei Qing, and Li Guang and Chen Fan are only mentioned briefly.

"In this battle, the Han army went deep into Mobei, and beat the Xiongnu back and forth. In the end, they had to flee to the northwest. It is also because the Huns were beaten so badly in the Battle of Mobei this time, so basically the Huns continued They also dare not go south to invade the Han Dynasty. So far, there is no royal court in Monan."

About Wei Qing.

Basically finished.

The last sentence Chen Fan said, Monan no longer has a royal court, which once again made all the fans bloody.

"The big man is mighty."

"Hearing it makes my blood boil, ahhh, I didn't expect our Han Dynasty to be so awesome."

"Too strong, simply too strong, this is the God of War."

……

"Director, Director, our ratings have reached a new high."

"Teacher Chen Fan's strength."

"A lot of viewers called, hoping that we can do a good job in this episode, just like the previous "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty" done by Teacher Chen Fan."

"There are more than three hundred poems in the Tang Dynasty. Do the audience compare our "The Heroes of the Han Dynasty" with CCTV's "There are more than three hundred poems in the Tang Dynasty"?"

"Yes, many people also said that it is more beautiful than more than three hundred Tang poems."

"Great, great."

Oriental TV did not expect either.

The program that I collaborated with Chen Fan this time has actually caused such a big impact.

In fact.

It really is.

Although "The Heroes of the Great Han" does not seem as compelling as "Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty", it is not broadcast on CCTV.

But the Han Dynasty is a dynasty that many people are familiar with.

Even if you are not familiar with it, at least you know it.

At the same time.

Before that, there were more than [-] Tang poems that talked more about poetry.

Although poetry is very artistic, in fact, not everyone has studied poetry.

Especially some ordinary people.

Many times, they may not be able to feel the charm of these poems.

Some relatively simple poems are okay, and I can understand a little bit.

But some more difficult poems are really a headache.

Like the long poem in Du Fu's Three Officials and Three Parts, Li Bai's long poem "The Immortal Touches My Top"...and so on.

Even if it is Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret, Pipa Xing, not many ordinary people can understand it.

But now the big man Chen Fan talked about instantly broadened the horizons of countless people.

This made them understand that the big man is so awesome.

This let them know that the big man has a god of war, Wei Qing.

In terms of comprehension, "The Heroes of the Great Han Dynasty" is much simpler than "There Are More Than Three Hundred Tang Poems".

Yes.

When the show ends.

Countless viewers have expressed their opinions on major Internet platforms:
"Today I watched Teacher Chen Fan's The Great Heroes. I didn't like watching his show very much at first. After all, this guy is there to tell stories, and sometimes he is still driving, and sometimes he runs to the desert. The whole show In terms of one, the camera is average, and the sound effect of the other is average, even without sound effects. It seems that it is a program that is not particularly carefully produced, and it feels like watching a live broadcast of an Internet celebrity. However, as Chen Fan continued to explain. , after Wei Qing's appearance... I have been captured by the big man."

"I don't know much about history. I only studied history in middle school. Watching Mr. Chen Fan's program made my blood boil with excitement. I want to ask everyone, how many generals like Wei Qing are there in history? Where does Wei Qing rank among the series of generals in Chinese history?"

soon.

Some other people responded and gave their own evaluations: "I don't know what the ranking is, because this is more controversial. As long as it is a ranking, no matter what the ranking is, people will say it. But how many likes in history are there? People like Wei Qing, I can only say that there are too few, too few. If we really need a few more people like Wei Qing, let alone beat the Huns far to the northwest, a few more generals like this, the big man will win Conquer the world."

Yes.

Not to mention that Wei Qing is in this world where historiography is relatively lacking.

Even in the previous life, when asked about a series of well-known military generals in China, Wei Qing is also ranked first.

As far as fighting the Huns and achieving such feats, Wei Qing should basically be ranked first.

As for your saying that a series of generals in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods were not as good as Wei Qing?

This is not inferior to Wei Qing.

The main reason is that the environment at that time was different.

The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were not unified at that time, and everyone was fighting continuously within the scope of China.

They seldom go to the Western Regions, and they don't want to go there.

After the unification of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set his sights on the Western Regions, on the side of the Huns.

As for Wei Qing's nephew.

In terms of rational discussion, in terms of merit, he is slightly inferior to Wei Qing.

of course.

This is not as good as just in terms of merit.

But in terms of influence, Wei Qing's nephew is probably No. 1 in the history of generals.

of course.

This will be discussed later.

……

"Teacher Chen Fan, where are you?"

"Traveling in Xinjiang Province."

"Still traveling, don't fool me, you have cooperated with Oriental TV. Don't be like this, Mr. Chen Fan, do you have any opinions on me? If you have opinions, can I change my career? You don't know. Recently, I have been accused by our station director. scolded."

This is the call from CCTV Xu Liang to Chen Fan.

Hearing Xu Liang's grievance, Chen Fan said: "Xu Liang, don't come here. Originally, I really wanted to travel, but Dongfang TV thought that my casual travel videos could be used as a program. Moreover, They gave me a lot of money again, and you see what I can do."

"Mr. Chen Fan, I will give you twice as much as Dongfang TV gave you."

"Isn't it ten times?"

"Mr. Chen Fan, don't tease me. Your worth is so high. We will vomit blood ten times over."

"just kidding with you."

Chen Fan smiled and didn't care.

"By the way, Mr. Chen Fan, how long have you signed the agreement with Dongfang TV?"

"There is no time limit for now."

"Can you tell me a little bit?"

"It's not impossible."

This is not something that needs to be kept secret, Chen Fan said: "It's up to me for details, when it's done, and when it's over."

"That's probably going to be soon, there's nothing to talk about later."

"Who said it will be soon."

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "I'm just beginning to be a hero."

……

"Brothers, a new day of live streaming has started again."

The Western Regions are really beautiful.

After Chen Fan visited the Western Regions, Chen Fan came to the Hexi Corridor.

"Brother Fan, where are you?"

"I'm in the Hexi Corridor."

"Where is the Hexi Corridor?"

"The Hexi Corridor is on the west side of the Yellow River, that is, north of the Qilian Mountains in Gansu Province."

"It doesn't seem to be very well-known."

Everyone doesn't have much memory of the Hexi Corridor.

but.

To talk about this Hexi Corridor, it is really, really important.

of course.

Chen Fan was not in a hurry, but he took his time and explained the Hexi Corridor to everyone.

"Maybe our transportation is more convenient now, and we have all kinds of transportation. Trains, cars, planes, ships... Wherever we Chinese want to go in modern times, as long as we have money, we can go anywhere. Not only can we go, but also very quickly You can get there. But in ancient times, it was different. You can look at our map of China. Although it looks huge, it is actually relatively isolated."

"Relatively isolated?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded, and then took out a topographic map of China.

The topographic map of China is somewhat different from the ordinary map of China.

Ordinary maps of China are flat, and he cannot see the topography of each region, nor the elevation of the entire region.

But topographic maps are different.

From the topographic map, we can know the terrain of China more concisely.

"Let's take a look. Although our China has a vast land and abundant resources, it faces the sea to the east and the sea to the south. Therefore, under the circumstances in ancient times, it was almost impossible to go to sea. It is impossible for us Han people to go to sea on a large scale. Similarly, some other overseas It is also difficult for people from other countries to come to our China. So, if China wants to communicate with the world, where should it go?"

Following Chen Fan's words, everyone stared at the map.

Soon, many people looked directly to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, or to Yun Province to see the clouds.

Chen Fan also knew that they would see it that way.

Because this is the thinking of modern people.

But the ancients didn't think so.

Chen Fan continued: "It seems that everyone is smarter and knows to go to the southwest. Then, let's take a look to the southwest, and the southwest is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Think about it, everyone, in ancient times, could we get by? Maybe a few days alone Individuals may be able to pass, but it is absolutely impossible to walk from this side on a large scale. Therefore, Tang Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty at that time, he would not go to the southwest, to the side of Yun Province. In addition, in ancient times, no matter whether it was developed in the southwest or the south Neither is good, it is very difficult for Han Chinese to survive in such an environment.”

Yes.

Although the south is rich and prosperous now, in ancient times, it was really not that good.

The center of gravity of the entire economy, culture and population in ancient times was in the Central Plains and near the Yellow River in the north.

Even in the Song Dynasty, the south did not develop much.

For example, the imperial court demoted Su Shi to Guangzhou.

Now think about how developed Guangzhou Province is, but in the Song Dynasty, Guang Province was barren.

Of course, there is Hainan in the barren land.This place is usually a place where prisoners are exiled.

So basically, whether it is the southwest, or even the south...we in China cannot contact the world.

Also.

It can also be understood from the Three Kingdoms period.

Why were Wei and Jin able to defeat Shu and Wu?

That is Wei Guo is in the north, and the north has a large population and resources.

But there is nothing in Shu, except Chengshi Plain.

As for Soochow, there is no special development in the south of the Yangtze River, and the population is not large.

If we fight more battles, the national power of Shu and Wu will not be able to bear it.

Then.

Since the south, east, and southwest are not allowed, everyone looked north to see the clouds.

"Brother Fan, isn't there still a north?"

"North, let's see again."

Chen Fan pointed to the map: "The north looks fine, but the Mongolian plateau in the north is not low, with an altitude of more than 1000 meters. Therefore, he is also blocked by a big mountain. Besides, don't even think about going to the north. After crossing the Yellow River, that is the territory of the Huns. If the Huns don’t come to attack you, you still want to go to the north?”

"What should I do?"

"Of course there is a way."

Chen Fan pointed with his finger: "For example, the Hexi Corridor on the northwest side."

"The Hexi Corridor is located between the Qilian Mountains and the Mongolian Plateau. The terrain here is flat and dense with water and grass. Many nomadic peoples have lived here for thousands of years. Through this, the Han people can enter the Western Regions. Through the Western Regions, China can communicate with the world. However, although the Hexi Corridor is within our territory now, before the Han Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor was in the hands of various tribes in the Western Regions. During the Qin Dynasty, it was occupied by Wusun and the Yuezhi people, and then the Yuezhi Wusun was defeated again, and then the Yuezhi was defeated by the Huns. In the end, the Hexi Corridor basically fell into the hands of the Huns.”

"So, generally speaking, China's sphere of influence was not very large at the beginning. At that time, countries in the world did not know China, and China did not know the situation in other worlds. Until Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, Let Emperor Wu of the Han see that there are so many countries in the Western Regions. It turns out that in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu is not the only one, and he also has opponents and threats."

"In order to fight against the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed his original defense strategy and began to attack the Xiongnu. Among the attacks on the Huns, there were two places first. One is the Hetao area and the other is the Hexi Corridor. To recover the Hetao area, then The threat of the Xiongnu to Chang'an has been lifted. If the Hexi Corridor is seized, the Huns will have no place to stand. Of course, from a strategic point of view, the Hexi Corridor is more important than the Hetao area. Because once the Hexi Corridor is opened, China will be able to completely Communicate with the Western Regions and connect with the world.”

With such an explanation, everyone has a deeper understanding of the Hexi Corridor.

"So the Hexi Corridor has always been a battleground for military strategists. Moreover, in this corridor, extremely splendid cultures have been born one after another. For example, the Mogao Grottoes born in this corridor, and the Crescent Moon Spring, and of course Yumen Pass, JYG...etc."

to this end.

Chen Fan really took a self-driving tour to the Mogao Grottoes, Crescent Lake, Yumen Pass... these places in the Hexi Corridor.

But it is different from ancient times.

These places played an extremely important role in ancient times.

But now.

These places have become tourist holy places.

For example, like Crescent Lake.

In the past, it was the place where a group of merchants on the Silk Road rested here for supplies.

but now.

The spring water in Crescent Spring is gone.

As for where the water inside comes from, this is the water resource that the local tourism department specially transferred to it from other places.

"Brother Fan, according to your opinion, the seizure of the Hexi Corridor means that China has begun to communicate with the world."

"Yes."

"Not only that, we have captured the Hexi Corridor, and we can also bring the Western Regions into our territory."

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "If you want to bring the Western Regions into your territory, the first step is to seize the Hexi Corridor. If you don't even own the Hexi Corridor, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to control such a large area of ​​the Western Regions."

"Understood, understood."

All the fans nodded from time to time.

Although they are not history experts, some are not even history buffs.

But through Chen Fan's in-depth explanation, especially when he brought everyone to the scene.

At this time, they have a deep understanding of what the Hexi Corridor means to China.

but.

at this time.

They asked excitedly again: "Brother Fan, who brought down such an important Hexi Corridor?"

"Guess everyone?"

"Wei Qing, it must be Wei Qing."

Everyone roared loudly.

have to say.

In Chen Fan's explanation before, Wei Qing really stimulated them to the point of needlessness.

In their minds, just thinking about it, Wei Qing emerged.

As for why you can't think of others?

This is totally impossible.

Apart from Wei Qing, who else could beat the slave so badly?

Who is capable of dealing with the Huns?
just.

Chen Fan shook his head: "It's not Wei Qing."

"Not Wei Qing?"

Everyone was stunned: "Who would it be if it wasn't Wei Qing, could it be Li Guang?"

"This is not Li Guang."

Chen Fan shook his head.

Although Li Guang is a famous general, he is fine in defensive battles. Li Guang is under a lot of pressure in this kind of siege battle.

"Who is that?"

Everyone kept thinking.

They want to find a great future.

They know that a place like this is awesome, and ordinary generals can't beat it at all.

Just thinking about it.

In their minds, they can't find it at all.

"Brother Fan, I feel that apart from Wei Qing, no one really has the ability to conquer the Hexi Corridor."

"Yeah, I also feel that Wei Qing is invincible."

"It must be Wei Qing."

Ugh.

no way.

Before the other person appeared, Wei Qing could say he was invincible.

But this time.

Compared to Wei Qing, Chen Fan liked another character more.

"Okay, let me tell you."

"This person is neither Wei Qing nor Li Guang, but Wei Qing's nephew, Huo Qubing."

Chen Fan said excitedly.
