Revealing Wei Qing's success in life often depends on luck.

Wei Qing's childhood can be described as miserable. Wei Qing's mother's name is Wei Ou, and she is a servant of the Hou family in Pingyang. When she enters the palace gate, it means that after a woman enters the palace, her fate cannot be in her own hands. However, maids who enter the homes of dignitaries are treated similarly. Anyway, she's married or something, and she has no control.

But teenage girls need to fall in love, which is human instinct, and no one can stop it. It's either bright or dark. Zheng Ji, the Taoist priest and magistrate who came to Pingyang Hou's house to handle affairs, had a good time, and all the fires led to Wei Qing. There were no contraceptive measures in ancient times, so the proportion of illegitimate children was quite high. However, the Wei family already has three children. One more Wei Qing will make life difficult. So when Wei Qing was very young, he lived with his father Zheng Ji.

There is a family in Zheng Ji, playing around outside. He didn't expect to bring back a son. Not only is his wife and family unhappy, but Wei Qing has a hard time at his father's house, burning tea and handing water, washing and cooking, and herding cattle and sheep. When I was a child, Wei Qing never experienced the happiness of childhood and was always treated as a slave.

This day can't pass. One dark night, young Wei Qing sneaked back to her mother. In the end, only mother is good in the world. When she saw her son, she couldn't bear to suffer so much, so she went to Princess Pingyang to be a groom for Wei Yi. Life finally settled down.

No matter whether it is ancient or modern, everyone's identity label will not change easily, and it will always be the normal state of this society. If the story goes on like this, Wei Qing can only be the groom of Princess Pingyang and scribble all her life.

The turning point of the story always needs a woman. This woman is Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu, a singer who can sing and dance in Princess Pingyang's family. At that time, the sisters of the emperor, in order to maintain a good relationship with the emperor, often chose some beautiful women from the people. When the emperor is free, it is not impossible to choose some beautiful women to enter the palace. If you are lucky, you will become a imperial concubine or something, so you will arrange one of your own beside the emperor. This relationship is precisely because there are people in the court who do things easily.

Princess Pingyang is the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and she comes here several times occasionally. what is the purpose? You know, I didn't expect Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to disdain the beauty that kiddo personally chose for him, but he took a fancy to dancing Wei Zifu. So Wei Qing followed Wei Zifu into the palace.

Wei Zifu is also a woman with a story. Let's talk about it in the next issue, saying that when she was selected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Wei family succeeded in the apprentice? That's impossible. There are so many women in the palace. Wei Zifu is just an ordinary maid-in-waiting. The only difference is that there are more opportunities to meet the emperor than Pingyang Palace.

The most attractive time for a woman is when she cries for herself. The palace is the biggest besieged city. People outside want to go in and people inside want to come out. Wei Zifu, who entered the palace, didn't wait for the emperor's favor and lost the chance to be with his parents, brothers and sisters.

A palace layoffs, Wei Zifu cried and begged the emperor to let himself go home. Anyway, this home is much warmer than the palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a typical male chauvinist. How can he look at the gentle and beautiful Wei Zifu and cry like this? So he comforted himself personally. Is there anything unhappy in the palace? Did someone treat you badly? Chatting and chatting, the night will be deep.

I was so nervous for the first time that I didn't feel anything. No matter whether men have sex or love first, in short, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell in love with Wei Zifu deeply this time. Soon after, the doctor overdetected that Wei Zifu was pregnant. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a very emotional person. If you love someone, you will love everything about her. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to Wei Qing, and Wei Qing was the only person who accompanied Wei Zifu in the palace. First, I worked as a waiter, then I was promoted to Dr. Taizhong, and the official was up to four grades.

The official is not big, but he is responsible for speech, similar to the current CCTV director. At this time, however, Wei Qing didn't make any contribution. Just because his sister gave birth to a son to the emperor, she became a big official, as if she felt guilty. So Emperor Wu decided to let Wei Qing go out for exercise and join the army.

One of Wei Qing's fortunes is to have a good sister Wei Zifu and a good brother-in-law. In this way, in the early Western Han Dynasty, the nemesis of Xiongnu began to step onto the military altar, and the war between Han Dynasty and Xiongnu changed from defensive stalemate to active attack.

Why can Wei Qing defeat the Huns? Why didn't so many famous ministers in the Han Dynasty go to school formally? Wei Qing, who didn't officially debut, studied Sun Tzu's Art of War. Why is he working so hard? Why is Wei Qing the most famous in the Western Han Dynasty? History always tells us that many people have more money because the Western Han Dynasty has been recuperating. If it wasn't Wei Qing, Huo Qubing or Zhang Qing, would it? General Li Liguang was a famous soldier, but he lost all the battles with Huns. Just bad luck?

So Wei Qing can be the first person to fight against the Huns, there must be his reasons:

First, I like to take the initiative and don't play cards according to common sense.

Sun Tzu's Art of War teaches us that if the enemy is particularly strong, we must defend first, and then attack when the enemy's spirit is gone. Because at that time, tarquin dominated the grassland and was invincible. Before we saw tarquin coming, we always hid in the castle.

When we take the initiative to find the Huns, it will be good to come back alive and not get lost in the vast grassland, where there is no sign of the Huns. So for a long time, beating Xiongnu was just a beating.

The particularity of Wei Qing explains why only Xiongnu can beat us, but we can't beat them, because we can't find Xiongnu. Then why can the Huns defeat us? Because there is a city, as long as tarquin takes the city, we can only come out to fight. So, why not attack the cities of Xiongnu?

In BC 129, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent four generals, each with 10,000 cavalry, to attack the Xiongnu and March all the way back to the grassland. Along the way, half of them were killed by Huns and ran back; The main force of the Huns who met along the way died. Only master Li Guang pretended to be dead and ran home.

Last way, Wei Qing. Straight through the grassland, he came to the center of Xiongnu, Longcheng, to worship his ancestors, killed more than 700 people, burned all the Longcheng, and then returned home in triumph. No matter which country, ancestor worship is a national key protection unit. Why can Wei Qing end the hometown of Xiongnu so easily and then walk home?

At this time, because of the Huns, all the surrounding tribes, large and small, surrendered. The Huns fought the Han Dynasty, so they fought whenever they wanted and left whenever they wanted. The Huns have never been defeated, and Longcheng is in the rear area, unless the Xiongnu army in front is eliminated. However, Wei Qing came. With an old map found by local herders and ten thousand brothers, he was killed in the holy land Dragon City and returned to Beijing safely.

At that time, the generals who had received professional military training liked to form formations to confront the Huns in order to reflect the heroic spirit of the big fellow. But Wei Qing likes to sneak attack and go around behind the Huns. Real soldiers have played an extreme role. This way of fighting also deeply influenced his nephew Huo Qubing.

Second, support the war by fighting.

Going deep into the grassland, food is the biggest problem. Orthodox education tells us that no matter how poor people are, they can't steal or rob. Before the general went to war, he also carried food and grass with him and transported it for a long distance. The soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first.

Wei Qing once again showed his eclecticism and went deep into the grassland. Why did he bring so much food? The best way is to support the war by fighting. Huns rob us, we rob Huns. The belly comes first. You have to fill your stomach to fight. So on the Xiongnu grassland, you can often see a group of soldiers who are similar to bandits, howling and sweeping the Xiongnu tribe.

Third, luck is also a part of strength.

In BC 128, Wei Qing went to Yanmen as a general riding a motorcycle, led 30,000 cavalry, marched in and killed thousands of Huns. In 127 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to lead the main force to encircle the Xiongnu, and ordered Li Xi to set out from Daijun and surround tarquin in Hetao area.

In BC 124, Wei Qing, a general rider, led 30,000 cavalry and attacked Xiongnu Right Wang Xian, capturing more than 10 people, more than 15,000 men and women and millions of livestock. In 123 BC, Wei Qing led100000 cavalry to attack Xiongnu twice, killing more than 10000 people.

At that time, there was no GPS navigation and spy satellites on the grassland. The key to fighting is how to find the other side before the enemy. Therefore, fighting on the grassland depends on the will and who can persist to the end. But the closer you get to the back, the weaker your vigilance will be. But Wei Qing's troops can lead the Huns several times, find each other, and then prepare for a surprise attack.

So it can be seen that, except by luck, Wei Qing's troops have never given up their vigilance and investigation. After discovering the Huns, they can react quickly and attack quickly. It seems that military generals are really not qualified for everyone, and they are also high-risk occupations for heart disease. When they can't find the enemy, they are under great pressure. While waiting for the news of the reconnaissance battalion, they have to calculate how long the food and grass can last, and at the same time, they have to comfort the soldiers: Xiongnu is ahead.
