What are the famous soldiers and deeds in the Han Dynasty?

It may be too much to classify him as an anti-Hungarian star, because he is a civilian after all. Besides, Chao Cuo lived in an era when the Han Dynasty was humiliated and oppressed by the Huns. But when it comes to the Sino-Hungarian War, this man must be the first to put forward it, because it was a series of military reforms he advocated that finally made the Han army establish its absolute advantage over the Huns in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment, and finally completed the feat of countering the Huns.

Chao Cuo made two contributions to the army construction in Han Dynasty, the first was the military system, and the second was the cavalry construction. In the military system, Chao Cuo can be said to be the first person in China's military "learning from foreigners to control foreigners". Different from many conservative ministers who insisted on Huang Lao's theory and lived in peace, Chao Cuo showed excellent strategic vision. He wrote to the emperor in the era of Emperor Wen, who was at peace in the world, and admitted that there would be World War I between Han and Hungary. Re-armament is the top priority, and Zhou Yafu is highly recommended. In addition, he put forward many constructive opinions on military reform, the most important of which was to change the central army of the Han Dynasty from compulsory soldier system to professional soldier system. He knew that if the Han army, which was dominated by peasants in the Central Plains, wanted to compete with tarquin, who took horses as his home, non-professional soldiers could not improve their combat effectiveness. Under his leadership, the Han Dynasty established a complete system of professional soldiers, and selected the children of frontier farmers to serve as soldiers for a period of 20 years, with hereditary service. And give generous treatment. In this way, many aristocratic families of service soldiers, mainly peasant families, were established in China. These families, who were selected as noble soldiers, have lived in the border areas for many years, are very familiar with tarquin's tactical style, and most of them have blood feuds with Huns, so they have a strong sense of fighting! According to the regulations of noble soldiers, their children received strict military training from childhood, and their lifelong creed was to fight back against the Huns. Commend for killing the enemy. Moreover, every family soldier has to hold a general meeting every year, and those with poor grades will be eliminated and those with good grades will be rewarded. This enabled the Han Dynasty to establish a brand-new standing army with super fighting capacity. We can see that the army of the Han Dynasty is the most ethnic army in the history of China, and no matter who leads the troops, they can maintain super fighting capacity. This is essentially different from Yue Jiajun in Song Dynasty and Qi Jiajun in Ming Dynasty. Even if the political affairs were corrupt in the late Western Han Dynasty, the army still maintained its super fighting capacity, which was the guarantee of the military system of the Han Dynasty.

Chao Cuo's other contribution is that in the cavalry construction, the cavalry is the main means to win the battle in the grassland. The cavalry in the Han Dynasty was weaker than the Huns for three main reasons, namely, the lack of horses, low combat effectiveness and backward tactical concepts. The system of professional soldiers can solve the problem of combat effectiveness, but new policies are needed to solve the problems of horses and tactical concepts. At Chao Cuo's suggestion, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty issued a letter to implement horse administration, encouraging people to raise horses, so that the Han army had sufficient horse resources. However, the difference between horse breeds and Xiongnu in Han Dynasty seriously restricted the development of cavalry in Han Dynasty. Therefore, Chao Cuo suggested that the Han government recruit Xiongnu herdsmen to move south to the Great Wall every year, and give them a lot of land and money on condition that they train cavalry for the Han Dynasty. At the same time, we used various channels to buy war horses from Xiongnu. Don't underestimate this strategy, for the Han government, which has always regarded itself as China, how much courage it takes to accept it. But the implementation of this strategy can be said to have greatly changed the Han army. Since then, the Han army has had a brainwashing update in its strategic concept and combat mode, and its combat effectiveness has made a qualitative leap. Later, although Chao Cuo was killed unjustly, his thoughts were inherited, which laid the foundation for the growth of the Han army.

Thanks to the efforts of a group of Han strategists headed by Chao Cuo, the Han Dynasty established a powerful cavalry force that could compete with the Xiongnu, thus laying the foundation for the victory of the Han Dynasty in countering the Xiongnu.

2. Li Guang

If you want to ask the Huns who is the most afraid of the general of the Han Dynasty, it is not Wei Qing who won the first victory against the Huns for the Han Dynasty, nor Huo Qubing who killed hundreds of thousands of young heroes, but Li Guang, a flying general. Li Guang is arguably the most legendary and tragic general in the history of the Han Dynasty. His talent and experience are still regrettable.

Li Guang was born at a bad time. In Wendi's time, he trusted the old minister. When Li Guang was young, in the era of Jingdi, he valued literature over martial arts. Li Guang is a military commander. In Liang Wudi's time, he favored young generals, but Li Guang was already white-haired. Because of his humble official position, Li Guang has been guarding the front line against Xiongnu. In the era of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi, he had many small-scale military conflicts with the Huns, and his combat experience also provided valuable wealth for the Han Dynasty. And his fame also chilled the Huns. Later, when the Sino-Hungarian War broke out, the Huns almost put their elite troops into Li Guang's army, which was also the objective reason for Li Guang's poor record against the Huns. However, at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, it was precisely because of the heroic fighting skills of a generation of soldiers represented by Li Guang that the Xiongnu's aggressive ambitions were curbed, which made them afraid to invade the south too much and won valuable time for the Han Dynasty to prepare for the counterattack against the Xiongnu. R|{Lwx

Different from other generals in the Han Dynasty, Li Guang was a Xiongnu general in the Han Dynasty. His army and operational strategy have strong Xiongnu characteristics, such as extending military orders and living on weeds. He is brave and good at riding and shooting, but he lacks the unique discipline and integrity characteristics of the Han army. The advantage of the Han army over the Xiongnu lies in its strict discipline and strong ability of coordinated operations. This is an important reason why Li Guang could not make contributions to the Xiongnu. It is obviously not advisable to learn from others' strengths while rejecting your own. r%

There are two wonderful examples in the history of Li Guang War, one is the offensive war in 127 BC, and the other is the battle in Hexi two years later. For the first time, he led an army of 10,000 and was surrounded by the 30,000 main forces of Xiongnu Khan, almost completely annihilated, but it also caused the Xiongnu to suffer the same casualties, and made Wei Qing cross the gap between the two main forces of Xiongnu and directly lead to the rear of Xiongnu. The second time, his 4,000 vanguard was surrounded by the 40,000 main force of the right-wing Wang Xian. After six days of fighting, there were only 400 people left in the whole army, but they effectively cooperated with Huo Qubing's westward journey to Jiuquan and defeated the evil king of Xiongnu. From the two battles, we can see the characteristics of Li Guang's bravery, rapid impact and strong fighting capacity. However, most of them play tough, lack tactical flexibility, covet work, and easily let their teams leave, resulting in an unfavorable situation of being attacked on all sides. By contrast, Huo Qubing is much smarter. He resolutely changed the marching route when the Huns changed their deployment, guided their weak links, and finally won. To be fair, Li Guang is an excellent general, but he is a general, not a handsome general. Its individual combat capability is brave, but it lacks the ability to see the overall situation clearly. He can be said to be a good pioneer and general, but not a good marshal. Later MoBei decisive battle, Wei Qing let him attack from the flank. From a military point of view, Li Guang's talent was not underestimated at that time, but Li Guang's strong fighting impact and fast moving speed were fully exerted. Unfortunately, God didn't help Li Guang. A sandstorm destroyed Li Guang's last chance and led him to commit suicide. However, as a general, he will always be respected by us.

3. Wei Qing

Wei Qing was not the general who wiped out the Huns the most, but he did make the greatest contribution in the Sino-Hungarian War. The first victory of the Han Dynasty over the Huns was played by Wei Qing. Although the Battle of Longcheng only destroyed 700 enemies, it shattered the myth that many Han lords and ministers preached the invincible Xiongnu, and made the Han soldiers establish a firm belief in winning the Xiongnu.

It takes a lot of courage to promote a person with Wei Qing's background to a general. Although he is a consort, he is bound to encounter great resistance. But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed the courage and courage of a wise monarch. Wei Qing lived up to his hopes and returned to the imperial court with one victory after another. In fact, the strength of the Han army has much to do with its eclectic way of employing people. In addition to Wei Qing, the Han army has a number of generals from humble origins, and even Huns who made outstanding contributions to the Han Dynasty like Zhao Ponu. In addition, in unifying soldiers, generals were given great trust and autonomy, which was unmatched by later generations, especially in the Song Dynasty.

The biggest feature of Wei Qing's troops is to maximize the cooperative combat capability of the Han army. The battle of Mobei is a model of cooperation between chariots and cavalry. This feature effectively played the advantage of the Han army in equipment, made full use of its strengths and avoided its weaknesses, and effectively attacked the Huns who fought with one arm. In addition, Wei Qing is extremely cautious in its actions, and every battle is carefully deployed to minimize the casualties of its own troops and effectively attack the enemy. In the battle of attacking Aries and recovering Hetao, he postponed the attack time several times and waited patiently for the Huns to fall into the encirclement. After the Han army formed an absolute advantage, it gathered the enemy and really won without fighting. But it is precisely because of his caution that his number of body count is always lower than that of Huo Qubing.

It can be said that Wei Qing is a general with good character and talent. He is modest and polite, and never takes credit. He is very sympathetic to his soldiers, so he is very popular with his subordinates. Such generals are rare in the history of China. Maybe this has a lot to do with his poor family since childhood. After his death, the dense forest mausoleum built for him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may just symbolize his modesty.

Wei Qing's most familiar battle example is the decisive battle in the North Desert. It can be said that this is a battle that gives full play to his wisdom and courage. In the battle, he showed cautious style and extraordinary courage at the critical moment. At that time, all the operational conditions were against him. The expedition of the Han army, the pommel horse fatigue, the Huns getting earlier and earlier, the last battle was defeated, and morale was high. And assembled all the elite troops. For the sake of surprise, Wei Qing let Li Guang attack from the flank. Who wants Li Guangbu's soldiers and horses to get lost and lose contact? This is equivalent to the loss of 3,000 fighters before the Han army started the war. Faced with all kinds of unfavorable conditions, Wei Qing made a strategy of sticking to it, and resisted the impact of tarquin with a solid chariot defense. After a day and a night of hard work, anxious Khan finally took out all his elite. However, when the Yellow Sand started, Wei Qing showed his rare decisive side, seized the fleeting fighter plane, ordered the main force to attack quickly, and launched a surprise attack in the case of the Huns' chaos, which finally defeated the Huns. Khan escaped with only 300 guards. The decisive battle in Mobei wiped out more than 30 thousand Huns and captured tens of thousands of Huns, which was a decisive victory in the Sino-Hungarian War. From then on, the Han Dynasty took the initiative in the Xiongnu War, and the Xiongnu retreated to the north of the desert, unable to launch a southward invasion. Although this record is not as good as the Battle of Wolf Mountain in Huo Qubing. But the war against the Huns in the Han Dynasty was decisive.

4. Huo Qubing

General Huo Qubing can be said to be an idol worshipped by many contemporary young people. When he was a teenager, he rose to the top of the world. At the age of 22, he commanded the battle of wolves in the mountains, which decided the fate of the Sino-Hungarian war, and almost wiped out the Xiongnu left army. /kloc-joined the army at the age of 0/8, fought six battles with Xiongnu, and killed enemy prisoners150,000, almost twice as much as his uncle Wei Qing. His untimely death made many people lament. In the TV series "The Son of Man", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted "Give me back the number one scholar", and many people sighed and wept.

Huo Qubing is lucky, so to speak. His status as a consort made him entrusted with an important task at the age of eighteen, and his fighting style was the bane of Huns who lived as nomads. In fact, with the operational characteristics of Huo Qubing, if it is fighting in the Central Plains, it will not be of much use in the face of criss-crossing fortresses. But in the face of the aquatic Huns, it's just a steel knife on the Huns' neck! The most striking feature of Huo Qubing's combat is the attack, which washes away the enemy with the spirit of the tiger going down the mountain and annihilates the enemy as quickly as possible. Unlike Li Guang, Huo Qubing's fighting mind is extremely clear, and he can quickly make correct judgments in the rapidly changing battlefield situation, and seize the weakest link of the enemy to give a beating. Xiongnu suffered the most in the shortest time. What's more commendable is that Huo Qubing's fighting is not to seize the enemy's territory, but more to hit the enemy's self-confidence, kill the enemy to the greatest extent, and completely destroy the enemy's production capacity and economic capacity. This kind of combat means aimed at attacking the enemy's spirit has been used until today when we enter the modern war.

Compared with the Xiongnu army, the biggest weakness of the Han army is its poor long-range attack ability, over-reliance on rear supplies, and its own carrying a lot of trench, which greatly limits the mobile combat capability of the Han army and makes it difficult for the officers and men of the Han army to pursue in the desert. Huo Qubing's operational strategy can be said to be an innovation of the tactical concept of the Han army. His battle can be described as circuitous and deep, interspersed and surrounded, and he completed circuitous and interspersed with the fastest speed, surrounded the Xiongnu and dealt a devastating blow to it from the weakest link. In the two battles in Hexi, his troops and horses gave up supplies, traveled light and fast, had dinner on the spot, and quickly launched the main decisive battle when the Huns were unstable. Completely annihilated in one fell swoop and cut off the right arm of Xiongnu. The so-called local provision means looting the Huns' rear and supplementing the military supplies. This strategy not only solved the problem of its own supply, but also hit the production capacity of Xiongnu to the greatest extent. The Huns' economy suffered so much that the Han Dynasty established its absolute superiority over the Huns in economy and military affairs.

The record of Huo Qubing's combat process in history is very short, but only from this passage, we can imagine the hardships of the battle and the ingenuity of Huo Qubing. In the first Hexi Campaign, Zhang Qian, a South Route Army, moved slowly, and Li Guang was besieged by himself. Huo Qubing resolutely changed the original battle plan and ventured from the evil king area of Xiongnu. At that time, there were only 10,000 military forces in Huo Qubing, and there were more than 60,000 military forces in Xiongnu Evil King and Hugh Tuwang. Huo Qubing concentrated superior forces to fight annihilation, and quickly rushed ahead before the enemy's main force assembled. Although the Huns constantly dispatched troops, their military forces could only be eaten by the Han army one by one like lambs in the jaws of death. More importantly, this battle completely destroyed the resistance ability of Xiongnu soldiers from the spirit, and made them fear the Han army like a tiger. Later, in the second Hexi Campaign, the Xiongnu army almost lost its resistance, and was chased by Huo Qubing all the way, with a loss of 32,000 people, four times that of the first Hexi Campaign. Later, the evil king of Xiongnu returned to the Han Dynasty, and among his 40,000 military forces, pro-Hungarian forces launched a rebellion. Huo Qubing subdued him with only 10,000 military forces, beheaded 8,000 rebels, and let the evil king of Xiongnu completely defect. This event is of great significance in the history of Sino-Hungarian war. Since then, more and more Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and a large number of Xiongnu herders went south to the Great Wall to ask for attachment, and the Xiongnu forces gradually fell apart. Later, in the Battle of Mobei, Huo Qubing marched all the way, emerged from the left nose in the middle of the night, and attacked at dawn. In one day, 70,000 Huns were wiped out, and almost all the Xiongnu left troops were wiped out. At this point, the Xiongnu left and right Wang Xian's two arms were completely cut off, leaving only Xiongnu Khan hanging in the lonely desert in the north. The power of the river is declining.

There are many criticisms of Huo Qubing today, for example, accusing him of turning a blind eye to the sufferings of soldiers, accusing him of being extravagant, dissolute, corrupt and cold-blooded. In fact, many comments are excessive. When it comes to caring for soldiers and being human, if Huo Qubing is really unreasonable, how can his subordinates swear to work for him? In the scene of Jiuquan celebration, he shared royal wine with the whole army, and his feelings of sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers were admirable. The so-called luxury and corruption are the details and habits of life, so why insist! What is important is that he was the general who annihilated the enemy the most in the Sino-Hungarian War. That alone, he is worthy of the title of national hero.

5. Zhao Chongguo

Huo Qubing and Wei Qing died, and the Huns were already a spent force. However, in the Han Dynasty, the financial resources of the Han Dynasty were greatly wasted because of Liang Wudi's exultation and extravagance. In addition, Liang Wudi's fatuity in his later years and the increasing corruption of state affairs, several wars against the Huns in the Han Dynasty were in vain, and General Li Ling was also involved. In fact, the poor record of the Han Dynasty against the Huns during this period was not because the Huns had recovered their strength, but because of the problems of the Han Dynasty itself, such as the improper employment of people by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the large-scale construction in successive years consuming financial resources, the increasingly corrupt political system and the numerous factions in the imperial court. These problems are not caused by the policy of beating Xiongnu, but more because of its poor internal affairs. Today, some people use the failure of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Xiongnu War as an excuse to say that waging war against Xiongnu was the cause of the decline of the Han Dynasty, which is extremely wrong.

In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed several times in the Xiongnu War in his later years. In addition to the last time Li Guangli was captured and completely annihilated, the other two losses of the Han army were not great, which can be said to be a draw with the Xiongnu. For the last time, Liang Wudi copied Li Guangli's home in the case of successive victories of the Han army, which led to a floating morale and a debacle. During this period, due to the corruption of the dynasty, the horse administration was abolished and the tax revenue was reduced. Han army can't compare with Wei Qing's time in the number and equipment of cavalry. But even so, the Huns still can't restore their power in the south of the desert, just struggling to survive.

During this period, there was a brilliant general in the Han army like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. This is Zhao Chongguo. In fact, Zhao Chongguo is unfortunate. He was four years younger than Huo Qubing, but at the same time he fought against Huo Qubing, which made his talent buried for a long time. Later, in the Xiongnu campaign of Li Guangli's second expedition, he led 3000 cavalry to attack from the flank, which ensured the successful breakthrough of the large army, but his military forces were only 100 people. He became famous in this battle and rose to the top from then on.

In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because of the existence of Li Guangli, Zhao Chongguo never had a chance to show his handsome talent. It was not until the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he was entrusted with an important task. At this point, he has white hair. It is not too much to say that he is a late bloomer. However, Zhao Chongguo defended the Han territory with his cautious attitude and superb strategy. By the time of Emperor Zhao, the Huns were weak, and the main enemy of the Han Dynasty had gradually changed from Huns in Mobei to Qiang people in Hexi. Qiang people are ambitious and try to replace Xiongnu. Unfortunately, they met Zhao Chongguo. After three battles with the Qiang people, the Han army won a great victory, successfully eliminated the Qiang forces, ensured the security of the Hexi Corridor, and connected the western regions with China.

Compared with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, Zhao Chongguo embodies his unique operational characteristics, that is, he is as quiet as a virgin and as dynamic as a rabbit. He was extremely cautious and considered repeatedly when formulating his operational strategy. "Seeing is believing" is his famous saying. This cautious attitude also made his troops seldom suffer heavy casualties. In addition, unlike Huo Qubing's destructive style of play, Zhao Chongguo mainly focuses on "attacking the heart". His troops are disciplined, rarely disturb the people, buy people's hearts, and let the enemy really join. He is good at dividing and disintegrating from the enemy, making the enemy defeat without fighting, dividing the Huns and splitting the north and the south, which he put forward and finally realized. Second, in the battle against the Qiang people, he used means to provoke the relationship between the Qiang people and the Huns, forcing the Huns to sit by and watch the Qiang people being besieged and not save them, so as to achieve the goal of divide and conquer. After the army formed an encirclement, it concentrated on destroying the Qiang nationality, but only surrounded the Xiongnu reinforcements, first destroying the Qiang nationality, then recovering the Xiongnu, and finally making the Xiongnu 8,000 cavalry surrender. Huns are afraid at the mention of Huo Qubing, and they respect and fear at the mention of Zhao Chongguo. It was because of his appeasement measures that the Han Dynasty consolidated its rule in Hexi area and won the hearts and minds of local ethnic minorities. If Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are generals who open up territory, Zhao Chongguo is a soldier who really knows how to open up territory. From a strategic point of view, he is better than Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in some places.

After Zhao Chongguo, there was Shang Chen, and his sentence "If you want to add a crime, you can always find a solution" was widely praised. He also became the last terminator of the war between the Western Han Dynasty and Xiongnu. However, the Xiongnu he faced is already a spent force, and the gold content of the battle is not as good as that of the general above, so I won't go into details.

This real history is not about the characters in the flowers and moons, and there is no lingering between men and women. However, those who have read him, as long as they have the conscience of China people, will be moved by it.
