Chapter 258 The highest honor of a military commander

Meng Tianzheng was wondering who Genghis Khan was, and he was called the "Prodigy of the Generation", so he heard Ying Zheng said: "Genghis Khan was a Hu emperor in later generations. The territory he conquered Direct access to Zhuzhou (Europe) and Yangzhou (India), several times that of Great Qin.”

When Meng Tian heard this, he immediately understood that although Genghis Khan was a Hu, he was also an incredible emperor, but even there were Hu emperors like Genghis Khan. Peigong’s bloodline, how many descendants are there?

Although Pei Gong died, there were many descendants, which not only allowed the blood to be passed down, but if luck was better, there might be a chance to repeat the glory of the Han Dynasty.

This way of having many children, many blessings and many opportunities, it seems that Da Qin can also learn a thing or two. In the future, it will not be Liu Ji who has the most descendants in the world, but he will win the government.

Li Niandao: "The reason why people in later generations will name the descendants of Pei Gong is mainly because the Han Dynasty is strong and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its reputation is far-reaching and makes many people yearn for it!" How come future generations remember this dynasty so deeply?

Even if Da Qin learns from the strategies of the Han Dynasty, if it cannot do these things, it will still not be the same as the Han Dynasty.

It is interesting to say that many of the strategies of the Han Dynasty in history were based on the experience of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty crossed the river by feeling the stones, and the Han Dynasty crossed the river by feeling the stones of the Qin Dynasty. Now the Qin Dynasty has in turn adopted some of the strategies of the Han Dynasty. Strategy.

“Emperor Wu not only solved the problems of the kings, but also cracked down on the powerful, and forced the powerful in many places to move to weaken their strength, take back the salt and iron monopoly, and take back the right to mint money.”

"In terms of talent education, we established an imperial examination system to promote filial piety, integrity, scholarship, virtuous and upright people. We established an Imperial College in Chang'an and established academic officials in all counties to select and cultivate talents for the court."

"The above are all internal governance, but Emperor Wu's posthumous title of 'Emperor Xiaowu' naturally cannot avoid the matter of 'Martial'. Later generations will treat Emperor Wu Much of the reverence comes from this, because of his outstanding martial arts!"

Li Niandao: "Emperor Wu was different from his father and eldest father. He had a tougher character, and the big man at that time had spent many years cultivating himself. At this time, the country's strength has become quite strong, the grass is fertile, the horses are strong, the food and grass are abundant, and outstanding generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are available. "< br>
"Emperor Wu no longer compromised and sued for peace with the Xiongnu like Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, but instead dared to take the initiative to go to war with the Xiongnu, beating the once arrogant Xiongnu and forcing them to move away. In the history of China, he was defeated by countless military generals Considered one of the highest honors, the title of "Fenglang Juxu" was completed by the champion Hou Huo Qubing during the reign of Emperor Wu. ”
< br> Meng Tian and Meng Yi's eyes were filled with fire. Although they could also do the work of civil servants, their duties were military generals. Now that they heard from Li Nian that one of the highest honors for a military general is to "enclose the wolf and live in Xu", they both felt in their hearts He was dissatisfied, but at the same time he also wanted to know what kind of martial arts Huo Qubing had accomplished to be called the highest honor of a military commander.

General Bai Qi has great military achievements, but he is not called him. General Wang Jian has brilliant military achievements, but he is also not called him. So what is Huo Qubing's contribution and what is his ability?

Just listen to Li Niandao: "Huo Qubing, Wei Zifu and Wei Qing's nephew, was very popular with Emperor Wu. He treated him like his own son and nephew. When he was young, he was given the position of serving in the palace. He could go in and out of the palace and accompany Emperor Wu. "

" Emperor Wu regarded Huo Qubing as a piece of peerless jade and wanted to carve it into the strongest general under his command. And Huo Qubing himself is also up to date. His military talent is quite outstanding, carefully cultivated by Emperor Wu, coupled with his outstanding personal talent, and Huo Qubing's own hard work."

Talent, resources, background, and personal efforts are all outstanding. Man, genius is already terrifying, but this genius is still working hard and has a strong background, so what’s the point?

“When Huo Qubing was eighteen years old, he accompanied his uncle Wei Qing on his first expedition against the Huns. He led 800 cavalry deep into the desert, beheaded and captured 2,280 high-ranking prisoners. He captured the Xiongnu Chan Yu Ji’s father Luo Gubi and won the title of the whole army! ”

He was indeed a natural general. For the first time he went to the battlefield, he dared to lead eight hundred cavalry deep into the desert. The desert was not a good place. He might have gotten lost while walking, but Huo Qubing not only did not get lost, he was also in his Under his leadership, he achieved military exploits several times greater than his own.

As a general who went into battle for the first time, this achievement is quite dazzling, but it is not the highest honor for a military general. Huo Qubing must have greater military achievements, just listen to Li Nian's lecture. "Huo Qubing was awarded the title of Champion Marquis by Emperor Wu for his military exploits. Emperor Wu also realized that the peerless sharp sword he had carefully carved and cast was ready for use. So in the next few years, Emperor Wu repeatedly asked Huo Qubing to lead the army to attack the Xiongnu..." < br>

Listening to Li Nian’s talk about Huo Qubing’s military exploits, Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi were also moved. The champion of the Han Dynasty was too fierce. Ying Zheng thought it was a pity that he was different from Da Qin. After a hundred years, it was a pity that he could not be made a general of the Qin Dynasty.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi were wondering if they could do the same as Huo Qubing. The answer seemed to be that they couldn't. When they were the same age as Huo Qubing, they probably couldn't do it.

Young and so capable of fighting, it’s no wonder that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved him so much. What’s more, this peerless general was trained and carved by himself. When he sees the person he carved achieve extraordinary achievements, he feels a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. The feeling is indescribable.

“In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu ordered Wei Qing and the 22-year-old Huo Qubing to each lead 50,000 horsemen to conquer the Xiongnu again. In this expedition, Huo Qubing once again achieved great military exploits.”

“ Tai Shi Gong It is recorded in "Historical Records": "The Han hussar generals came out more than 2,000 miles away and fought with King Zuoxian. The Han soldiers captured more than 70,000 Hu Shoufan, but the hussar generals of King Zuoxian fled. The wolf lives in Xushan Mountain, Zenguyan, and returns near the Hanhai Sea. . After that, the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the curtain. "This is the saying of "Sealing the wolf to stay in Xu, drinking from the vast sea of ​​horses"! When Yi heard it, something seemed to appear in front of his eyes. After defeating a powerful enemy, a young general stood on a high mountain that originally belonged to the enemy and offered sacrifices to heaven, announcing to the sky in the desert: From now on, this is the land of our Han family, and there will be no more Huns king in the south of the desert. court.

Domineering, powerful, and inspiring, no wonder it will be considered by many military commanders in later generations as the highest honor for military commanders!

But the three of them also thought of one thing. Huo Qubing had already achieved the achievement of "sealing a wolf to live in Xu and drinking from a vast sea of ​​horses" when he was twenty-two years old. According to normal ideals, Huo Qubing would have a long life, with a high probability. He could obtain higher achievements, but Li Nian's words did not include a higher honor as a military commander, which meant that Huo Qubing did not obtain higher military exploits in the future.

The three of them thought in their hearts: 'Could it be that Emperor Wu couldn't tolerate Huo Qubing's achievements and thought that his achievements were so great that he restrained Huo Qubing and even tried to murder Huo Qubing? ’

Also, Huo Qubing was too young. He had such military exploits at such a young age and held such a high position, but Emperor Wu was older than him. Emperor Wu was afraid of Huo Qubing, which was really the normal behavior of emperors.

Even if Emperor Wu was confident that he could suppress Huo Qubing, what about the succeeding Han emperors? And will Huo Qubing's own thoughts change over time?

When Huo Qubing was young, he would be loyal to Emperor Wu and the Han Dynasty, but as time goes by and he becomes more powerful, will he have other ideas?

The three of them were all very interested in knowing the outcome of Huo Qubing, and they were more interested in Emperor Wu than in Emperor Wu. They had almost forgotten that Li Nian was originally talking about Emperor Wu.

Li Nian told them about Huo Qubing, not only out of respect for the champion Hou, but also because he felt that there would probably be no more champion Hou Huo Qubing in this world, so he wanted to tell his story.
