Chapter 166: The Powerful Huns
This battle was not the beginning, Huo Qubing led 800 people to join it.
On the contrary, it was at the end of the war that Huo Qubing was able to achieve his achievements.
At this time, the situation between the Han and the Hungarians has actually changed somewhat, although Wei Qing won the land of Henan before and went straight to Longcheng.
At the same time, at the beginning of the Battle of Monan, it was almost a complete victory.
But the time lasted was a bit long after all, close to two years.
This place is some distance away from the bustling place of Dahan, and the supplies are beginning to lag behind.
In the constant wars, the Huns are gradually evolving and becoming stronger.
Even Wei Qing suffered a defeat, this time Wei Qing sent Zhao Xin and Su Jian to lead the battle.
The 3000-strong army was wiped out, and only Su Jian escaped back.
This person is not famous, but his son is called Su Wu.
The 3000-strong army is not the point. The point is that Xin Zhao, a general of the Han, surrendered to the Huns.
As a result, almost all the formations of the Han army were known to the Xiongnu, which was fatal.
Supplies are gradually starting to run short. It can be said that it is time to retreat.
But this time.
Huo Qubing gave everyone a surprise.
After getting 800 people, Huo Qubing's first thought was that it was impossible for him to stay in the army, and he would not get any benefits from it.
So he only led 800 people, threw Wei Qing's large troops directly, and then went deep into the hinterland for hundreds of miles.
The first battle went straight to the camp of the Huns.
He directly captured the uncle of the Xiongnu Chanyu, the prime minister of the Xiongnu, beheaded the grandfather of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and beheaded the enemy army, more than [-] people.
More than [-] people may not be many, but what you need to know is that Wei Qing only has more than [-] people.
Moreover, in the vast desert, he accurately found the enemy's location and carried out a clean beheading operation.
No doubt, great victory.
Yes, the Han Dynasty at that time was a great victory for the Huns, why?
Because from the time of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty until he beheaded two thousand people in the first battle of Huo Qubing, Wei Qing was the only one who could make a name for himself in the Battle of Han and Huns.
Parachutist Li Guang, isn't he great?
In fact, it was only a victory in a battle of about a hundred people, but in the face of most of the Huns, they almost all lost.
It is not without reason that Li Guang is difficult to seal.
Back then, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, sent an army of 32 to conquer the Xiongnu. As a result, Baideng was besieged and the era of peace was opened.
In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there is not much to say about the failure of Mayi's conspiracy.
Later, the four armies went out to fight against the Xiongnu. This was Wei Qing's famous first battle.
How much beheading?
Beheading [-] people, killing [-] enemies with a scale of [-] people, was a big victory at that time. Although it was blessed by Dragon City, it can be seen how precious victory was at that time.
In the Han-Hungarian War at that time, if you were able to win in one fell swoop, then you would be the position of general, no matter what famous family or veteran on the battlefield, they would all bow their heads to you.
It is unheard of to win more with less.
Even if it went too far, when they fought on the Han-Hungarian battlefield at that time, the rest of the generals would either defect or fail to fight, and even Wei Qing would fall into a stalemate in the war.
As for Huo Qubing, he defeated many with less and defeated the Xiongnu. This news shocked the world.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was still in Chang'an was even able to jump directly from his chair.
Order now.
Bravely crowned the three armies, he was granted the title of Marquis of Champions, and he lived in a city of [-] households.
Perhaps from this point, we can see how precious victory was to the Han Dynasty at that time, and how much such a battle was worth.
This 17-year-old boy, with such an understatement, succeeded easily.
After this battle, although the Xiongnu did not cause substantial mass destruction, it also made them feel that there was not much point in continuing to fight.
So the Battle of Monan ended with Huo Qubing's brilliant victory.
above the hall.
The corners of Liu Che's mouth turned up as he looked at the person he had raised since he was a child.
His eyesight was right.
After winning, Huo Qubing originally wanted to fight.
But it is a pity that the Han Dynasty experienced two battles between the Han and the Hungarian at that time, and the treasury was actually empty.
At this time, rest and recuperation is the best choice.
Therefore, the two sides stabilized for a while.
Of course, this stable time will soon pass, and Liu Che has just established a crown prince to pardon the world.
The Hu people sent troops directly to the valley, burning, killing and looting.
The meaning is quite simple, that is, I want to have a tug-of-war with you.
But the Han Dynasty also knew at this time that it was not good to send troops, and it was necessary to recuperate.
A year later, let's talk about recovering some vitality.
So a year later, when the Northern Expedition was supposed to be sent, an unfortunate news appeared.
"What? General Wei Qing fell ill?!"
When Liu Che received the news, he was caught off guard.
Don't look at the many generals in the court, such as Li Guang and Gongsun Ao, they are actually useless, and it depends on Wei Qing to fight the Xiongnu.
As a result, Wei Qing suddenly fell ill, so Li Guang and the others will be the only ones for this battle?
Isn't that bullshit?
The Huns also received the news.
The Han Dynasty was a little pessimistic, but the Huns were so happy that they almost jumped.
Everyone has been fighting for so many years, and everyone knows what level you are. As for stinky fish and rotten shrimp like Gongsun Ao, they must send troops from Dingxiang and fight steadily.
They are also smart, so they hastily mobilized their troops and prepared to gather near Yinshan Mountain, so they were going to give them a hard time.
For Liu Che, Wei Qing was down, but he had another person.
That person is Huo Qubing.
At the same time, Liu Che also received another piece of news, which came from Zhang Qian.
After Zhang Qian returned from his envoy to the Western Regions, he told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty about the specific situation of the Western Regions.
Over there, many countries in the Western Regions followed the lead of the Huns and continued to transfuse blood to the Huns.
At the same time, there are still Qiang people and a piece of fertile land in the Hexi Corridor.
In the Qilian Mountains, the melting ice and snow from the high mountains converge into streams, making the land extremely fertile and suitable for raising horses.
At the same time, the relationship between the Qiang people and the Huns is also very close. If they unite, there may be some problems.
"I'll give you 1 people, do you dare to go over there and lay down that piece of land for me?"
Liu Che watched Huo Qubing speak like this.
Huo Qubing looked at Liu Che and smiled calmly.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that you always let me read military books?"
"Haha, of course I know. You also said something, Gu Fanglue is so good that he can't learn the ancient art of war, so now, have you learned the art of war well?"
Huo Qubing laughed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's a small matter."
So, the 19-year-old Huo Qubing led [-] Han Empire elites to the Hexi Corridor this time.
