Chapter 259 The highest glory of a general
"Wei Qing's nephew?"

"Huo Qubing, I seem to have heard of this name before."

"Qubing, Qiji... I'm a grass...Could it be that Huo Qubing is the person who has achieved the highest achievement as a general?"

Although everyone is not very familiar with Huo Qubing.

but.

When everyone recalled it, they remembered Huo Qubing mentioned by Chen Fan when he was talking about Xin Qiji.

Although it was only mentioned at the time.

but……

That legendary general has always excited them.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

"I feel that Huo Qubing must explode."

"Excited, everyone, don't pull me, don't pull me..."

this time.

Someone has already yelled loudly.

"Well, Brother Fan, is Huo Qubing Wei Qing's nephew?"

"Yes."

"Is he stronger than Wei Qing?"

"In terms of influence, Huo Qubing is much more powerful than Wei Qing... Even if it is merit, he is not much weaker."

"I'm going... this, this, this..."

Of course, there are some people who are not very familiar with Huo Qubing.

after all.

Not everyone has been paying attention to Chen Fan from the very beginning.

Some may have paid attention to Chen Fan on the way.

Some of them may have followed Chen Fan recently.

and so.

Some people may know that Huo Qubing is definitely a peak-level existence, but some people still have doubts about Huo Qubing.

of course.

They also knew that the generals that Chen Fan could introduce would never be simple.

But Wei Qing was so awesome, so awesome, they couldn't think of anyone else who was even more awesome than Wei Qing.

……

of course.

Chen Fan also knew.

About Huo Qubing's life, he had to tell everyone slowly.

The reason is slow.

In fact, Chen Fan didn't want to speak too quickly.

Although Huo Qubing's life was brilliant enough, if he talked about it quickly, it would really make Chen Fan feel a little bit reluctant.

Without saying anything else, Chen Fan began to talk about Huo Qubing's mother: "Like Wei Qing, Huo Qubing is also an illegitimate child. Huo Qubing's mother is called Wei Shaoer, which is Wei Zifu's sister. However, Wei Shaoer and Wei Zifu when they were young Like Wei Qing's brothers and sisters, her status was very low and her life was very bad. Until Wei Shao'er grew up, she also became a servant of Pingyang Hou's family. Once, there was a man named Huo Zhongru They came to Pingyang Hou’s house to do business. Both of them were young, and they had a relationship unconsciously. But after the relationship, Huo Zhongru only thought it was just a one-night stand, and he never contacted Wei Shaoer since then. But 10 months later, Wei Shaoer Pregnant and gave birth to Huo Qubing."

"Because Huo Qubing was young and weak, Wei Shaoer was afraid that he would not be able to take care of him, so he was named Qubing, which means to get rid of the pain. Here, Xin Qiji's name comes from Huo Qubing. Of course, if there is no Wei Zifu , maybe Huo Qubing can only be regarded as an ordinary person, even worse than an ordinary person. However, after Wei Zifu received the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the fate of all Wei Zifu's brothers and sisters changed. Huo Qubing also received the palace In the middle school, he had a good education. And as his uncle Wei Qing made great achievements in the battlefield, the young Huo Qubing always dreamed of fighting the enemy like his uncle."

Sometimes, Chen Fan secretly sighed that the luck of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was simply superb.

After he pampered Wei Zifu, God immediately sent him two most powerful generals in the history of the Han Dynasty.

One of them is Wei Qing.

The other one is Huo Qubing.

Compared to Wei Qing.

Huo Qubing is even more legendary than Wei Qing.

"Although Huo Qubing was an illegitimate child, the improvement of his status also allowed Huo Qubing to be well cultivated. One thing had a great impact on Huo Qubing. Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it has always been deeply influenced by the Huns. Even during the period of Gaozu, the Huns They also surrounded Gao Zu for several days and nights. Even Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing were threatened by the Xiongnu, so they could only appease the Xiongnu through marriage. But even so, the Huns took the children of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, but It still invades the Han Dynasty from time to time, which has become a pain in the hearts of everyone in the Han Dynasty."

"Until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw the splendor of the Western Regions. Immediately, he planned to change his strategy against the Huns. From the original defense to an active attack against the Huns. But the situation at that time, Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a great talent and general strategy, the Han people have been unable to resist the Huns for decades. Therefore, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty proposed such a strategy at that time, many ministers were very worried. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resisted all opinions and made bold words , Kou can go and I can go... This sentence had a great influence on the young Huo Qubing, and he vowed to serve the country."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also liked Huo Qubing's nephew very much, and even wanted to teach Huo Qubing the art of war in person. But Huo Qubing said that in wars, it is enough to have a strategy, and there is no need to look at the art of war. This seems crazy, but Huo Qubing is not a Stupid. On the contrary, he is still a very smart person. He summed up the failure of the previous dynasty against the Huns, and he was thinking, isn’t the predecessors familiar with the art of war? Surely, the previous dynasty also had a series of generals, All of them are familiar with the art of war, and they are all very powerful, but they also failed when facing the Huns?
Therefore, he thought that it was useless to simply learn these tactics.Moreover, the art of war is dead, but people are alive. If something happens, how should it be dealt with.In addition, although these ancient art of war are powerful, most of these art of war were written during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.At that time, these military arts corresponded to various vassal states.It is naturally no problem to use these tactics to deal with various vassal states.However, facing the Huns who are different from the various vassal states, it may not be of much use. "

This actually makes sense.

Although the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period had been fighting, in fact, from the perspective of modern people, all the wars were civil wars.

Although they occasionally beat the Huns, they were relatively rare.

For the Chinese nation at that time, the Huns were foreigners.

Their combat characteristics are completely different from those of the vassal states.

and so.

In Huo Qubing's eyes, he believed that completely following the art of war might not be able to effectively deal with the Xiongnu.

This is naturally a one-sided statement of the young Huo Qubing.

but.

Although one-sided, Huo Qubing has his own views on war.

"In 123 BC, the Battle of Dingxiang North. Wei Qing led troops to attack the Youxian King in Monan. In this battle, although Wei Qing wiped out many main forces of the Huns, he also suffered a lot. However, during this battle, Huo Qubing, who was only 18 years old, played with his uncle for the first time. During the battle, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named Huo Qubing the captain of Yao Yao, which means fast and fierce. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that although Huo Qubing was young, he But a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and has a strong drive.

But Uncle Wei Qing was very worried about Huo Qubing, and told him that you should come and learn from your experience in this battle, and don't rush so hard.So Huo Qubing was not given many soldiers and horses, only 800 horses were given to him.But Wei Qing didn't expect that he didn't get much benefit from this battle. On the contrary, his little nephew became famous in this battle. With the strength of 800 cavalry, he ran for hundreds of miles and wiped out more than 2000 Huns.Among them were senior officials such as Xiangguo and Danghu of the Xiongnu. At the same time, he also beheaded Ruohouchan, the grandfather of the Xiongnu Shanyu Yizhixie, and captured Shanyu's uncle Luo Gubi, winning the whole army twice.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed and named Huo Qubing the champion. "

This battle is the same as that of Wei Qing.

Wei Qing's first battle, the Battle of Dragon City, became the only one to win among the four fronts.

But speaking of it, Wei Qing's first battle couldn't be compared with Huo Qubing's first battle.

Because although Wei Qing won the first battle, it was actually only a small victory.

More than 1 people were killed only a few hundred people.

The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed at that time was entirely because of the Han people's first victory over the Huns.

Whether this first victory is a small victory or a big victory, even if it kills one more person, it is still a victory.

So at that time, Wei Qing relied on this victory to directly confer the title of Marquis.

Huo Qubing, on the other hand, only had 800 people under his command, which was not as many as Wei Qing's 1 people.

But there were only 800 people, but Huo Qubing still beheaded more than 2000 Huns, and captured a lot of senior officials of the Huns, even Shan Yu's uncle.

This contribution is much greater than that of Wei Qing.

"I'm sorry, I'm named the champion. This champion is interesting."

"Leading 18 people at the age of 800, and winning the whole army... Nima, this is too strong."

"No wonder Xin Qiji's grandfather admired Huo Qubing so much at that time, so he named Xin Qiji Qiji."

Although what happened to Huo Qubing later has not been said yet.

But Huo Qubing had already gained an absolute reputation in this battle.

Also.

The name Champion Hou is also very meaningful.

Bravely crowning the whole army is called a champion.

Isn't this the reason for the current champion?

……

Chen Fan continued: "To be precise, Huo Qubing was only 17 years old at the time, not 18 years old. But it was this 17-year-old general who accomplished many feats that generals could not accomplish." But Huo Qubing's achievements are not limited to this. The Battle of Dingxiangbei was just a small test of Huo Qubing's sword. After Wei Qing recovered the Hetao area, the threat of the Huns to Chang'an was lifted, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to direct his troops to the Western Regions. However, in order to get through the Western Regions, he must The Hexi Corridor must be opened up first. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Qubing directly, and appointed Huo Qubing as Hussar General."

"Huo Qubing, who tried out his skills in the Battle of Dingxiang North, summed up his experience with the Huns. He believed that the Huns were different from the other countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. They were good at riding horses and ran back and forth. Many times the Han army There is no way to deal with the Xiongnu. If you want to defeat the Xiongnu, you must change your original strategy. Immediately, Huo Qubing absorbed the style of play of the Huns. And, further strengthened. "

"The Huns fight fast, so Huo Qubing is faster than him. The Huns are good at long-distance raids, so Huo Qubing has to do longer-distance raids than them. At the same time, he also absorbed his uncle's big roundabout tactics, and carried out all aspects of the Huns. Harassing and cutting off the support of the Xiongnu. In the spring of that year, Huo Qubing took 1 hussars out of Longxi, crossed Wudao, challenged Pu, and involved the fox slaves... He moved to the five countries of Hexi, and entered the Western Regions as if there were no one. Various tribes in the Western Regions Surrender, and when fighting Shan Yu's son, he almost captured him alive."

"But Huo Qubing didn't stop. After defeating several small countries in the Western Regions, he once again launched a long-distance raid. In six days, Huo Qubing traveled more than 1000 miles, and finally fought fiercely with the Xiongnu army at the foot of Gaolan Mountain. King Zhelan and King Luhou of the Xiongnu wiped out their elites, and Prince Hunxie, Xiangguo, and Duwei were all captured. In this battle, Huo Qubing beheaded 89060 people and captured King Xiutu's sacrifice to Tianjin."

Compared with Wei Qing's steady and steady fight.

Huo Qubing's fighting style is undoubtedly much more ferocious and fast.

When Chen Fan talked about Huo Qubing's style of play, the fans in the entire live broadcast room were a little short of breath.

"I don't care. It takes more than 1000 miles in six days. This is driving a car."

"This is the speed of soldiers, and Huo Qubing didn't even know about Huo Qubing, so he came here."

"Could it be that this is the legendary blitzkrieg?"

Chen Fan nodded: "That's right, this is Blitzkrieg."

It should be said.

Huo Qubing was one of the first famous generals in the world to use blitzkrieg.

Or.

He is the general who brought the blitzkrieg to the extreme.

"Well, Brother Fan, what is a golden man offering sacrifices to the sky?"

"The Golden Man Worshiping Heaven is a prop used by the Huns to worship the sky. It is equivalent to an artifact, something like a national treasure."

"Fuck me, the national treasures and artifacts were snatched by Huo Qubing. Nima..."

Everyone was stunned by Huo Qubing's bravery.

"Well, I liked Wei Qing before, but now I like Huo Qubing."

"I also like Huo Qubing, I just like this kind of boy."

"The Western Regions span thousands of miles, and Huo Qubing is mighty."

Speaking of Wei Qing before, countless fans instantly became fans of Wei Qing.

but.

When Huo Qubing came out, a group of fans suddenly found out.

It turns out that compared to Wei Qing, there is such a fierce existence.

of course.

Perhaps the current Huo Qubing still cannot compare with Wei Qing.

But this kind of teenage hero, this kind of youthful spirit... he is so attractive wherever he is placed.

"Brother Fan, there is another question. Huo Qubing traveled more than 1000 miles. This speed is too fast. How did he do it? After all, marching with a large army is different from us ordinary people. Ordinary people can run more than 1000 kilometers in a few days , but the marching army needs to bring too many things, especially food, weapons... and so on."

At this time, a fan asked again.

Good question.

Actually, if you don't mention it, Chen Fan also wants to talk about it.

Generally speaking, the marching speed of the Han people in history was not fast.

why.

Exactly what this fan said.

There are too many and heavy things to carry, how can I walk so fast?

But why can Huo Qubing run thousands of miles?

Immediately, Chen Fan said: "The reason why Huo Qubing was able to run for thousands of miles is that the soldiers and horses he brought were mainly light cavalry, which also allowed their speed to give full play to the greatest advantage. But this is not the only thing, because there is also food and grass, It will definitely slow down the marching speed. Huo Qubing is also well aware of this. However, when encountering Hun soldiers, Huo Qubing asked the soldiers to bring only one week's food and grass, and put other things in other places first. .”

"Brother Fan, this won't work. If the food and grass are not replenished in time, the entire army will surely be ruined."

"Huo Qubing also told them the same. If you only bring food and grass for a week, it proves that they have no way out. If you need food and grass, then you have to defeat the Huns in front and snatch the food and grass from them. So, right now With such determination, a group of soldiers exerted their strongest combat power. They knew that if they did not defeat the Huns, they would have to die. Rather than die, it would be better to fight to the death."

"Wonderful, beautiful..."

The fans in the entire live broadcast room were boiling again.

applause.

flowers.

They sent them one after another.

"Brother Fan, one last question. The Western Regions are too big, and everyone is not familiar with them. Li Guang got lost several times in the Western Regions. Huo Qubing went so deep into the hinterland of the Huns, isn't he afraid of getting lost? Could it be that he brought a GPS navigation?"

"Pfft..."

Chen Fan smiled: "Where does Huo Qubing have GPS navigation? If he had GPS navigation, he would wipe out the Huns in minutes. The reason why Huo Qubing dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Western Regions of the Huns was that Huo Qubing had already done it before the battle." All-round preparations. Since Zhang Qian was on a mission to the Western Regions, he also got a rough idea of ​​some maps of the Western Regions."

"Of course, this is not enough. Because nomads can move, if you go there only by the map at that time, you will definitely get lost. Therefore, Huo Qubing will also find a local guide. But these are not the most important, but the most important More importantly, Huo Qubing believes that as long as their marching speed is fast enough, as long as they run far enough, then...all places in the Western Regions are under their iron hooves. Even if they get lost, they can definitely reach them by running desperately in one direction location……"

"So in the summer of that year, Huo Qubing and Gongsun Ao led the army from Beidi County to march separately. Gongsun Ao got lost and arrived late, so he failed to reconcile with Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing went deep alone, going far to the lake in the south of Junji Mountain, and crossing Juyanhai , passed Xiao Yueshi, attacked Qilian Mountains, captured Shanyu Shanhuan, Chieftain King Tu, and received 500 descendants who surrendered his Xiangguo and Duwei. In this campaign, Huo Qubing beheaded the heads of the Xiongnu army At level 59, the five kings and mothers of the Xiongnu were captured alive, 63 people from the Yan family and princes of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and [-] people from Xiangguo, generals, households, and captains..."

It can be said.

In this battle in Moxi, Huo Qubing's military exploits were almost as good as Wei Qing's.

even.

From the perspective of modern people, it is much more valuable to take down the Hexi Corridor than Weiqing to recover the Hetao area.

of course.

This also proves Huo Qubing's tactics on the other hand.

"Okay, I finally understand. The earth is round, as long as my speed is fast enough, I'm afraid of getting lost?"

"I love it, Huo Qubing, so strong."

"Yes, Huo Qubing, you are stronger than your uncle."

At this moment, countless stars have been emitted from the eyes of everyone.

But this is not over yet.

Chen Fan continued: "It was precisely because of this battle that the Xiongnu lost their temper. King Hunxie was about to surrender. After Emperor Wu got the news, he worried that it was a false surrender, so he ordered Huo Qubing to lead an army to meet King Hunxie in autumn. When the Han army crossed the Yellow River and arrived near the camp of King Hunxie, some of the subordinates under King Hunxie were unwilling to surrender and plotted to escape.

At this critical juncture, Huo Qubing led his troops into the Xiongnu army to meet King Hunxie, beheaded 8000 soldiers who were trying to escape, and surrendered 32 kings of foreign countries.In the end, Huo Qubing first sent King Hunxie to Chang'an alone, and then led more than [-] of his tribe back to Han... This battle basically wiped out all the Huns in the Hexi Corridor.Since then, the Han Dynasty also controlled the Hexi Corridor and laid a solid foundation for opening up the Western Regions.Also because of this battle, the Xiongnu sang a sad song, "If you lose Qilian Mountain, your animals will not survive; if you lose Yanzhi Mountain, your married woman will be colorless..."

In terms of overall military exploits, perhaps Huo Qubing is not as great as Wei Qing.

But when it comes to the number of enemies killed, Huo Qubing dares to be the second, and Wei Qing, an uncle, dare not be the first.

of course.

This also has a certain relationship with the roles of the two.

Wei Qing is already a general at this time, he only needs to command from the rear.

But Huo Qubing took the lead and fought on the front line all the time.

"Brother Fan, Huo Qubing is simply cheating."

"For others, it may just be an open hook."

"I want to ask, has Huo Qubing ever lost a battle?"

"No."

Chen Fan shook his head: "Since Huo Qubing went to war, he has never lost a battle."

"I'm going."

Everyone sighed again.

The excitement in my heart almost burst out of my body.

However, at this time Chen Fan said: "So much has been said above, in fact, although these battles are wonderful, they are far from the Battle of Mobei that Huo Qubing participated in."

"Did Wei Qing participate in the Battle of Mobei?"

"Correct."

Chen Fan nodded: "But at this time, after Huo Qubing took down the Hexi Corridor, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing's status was basically the same, or Wei Qing was slightly higher by half a level. The glory that generals have longed for all their lives, Fenglangjuxu..."
