If Huo Qubing doesn't die early, what historical position will he reach?

/kloc-at the age of 0/9, Huo Qubing was made an ancient general. He fought in Hexi (now Hexi Corridor and Huangshui Valley) twice a year, annihilated 40,000 enemy troops and killed countless Xiongnu officials and nobles, and won a great victory. At the age of 22, Huo Qubing led a mighty army of 50,000 people and went deep into the hinterland of Xiongnu for more than 2,000 miles. He was from Mobei, wiped out more than 70,000 people, captured the Xiongnu's "gold worshippers" and named the wolf Xu. This war was the pinnacle of Huo Qubing's military career, and the Xiongnu fled in haste. From then on, the Huns "had no Wang Ting in the desert", and Huo Qubing became a deity in World War I..

Huo Qubing returned to Chang 'an triumphantly, and Emperor Liu Che was overjoyed. He added Huo Qubing as Fu, which was equal to Wei Qing. They became the two pillars of the army in the Western Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, just two years later, Huo Qubing died at the age of 24. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was heartbroken and held a grand funeral for Huo Qubing, which was a curtain call for a generation of famous soldiers.

Historians of all ages lamented Huo Qubing's untimely death, believing that Huo Qubing could have made greater achievements if he had not died early. However, I think Huo Qubing's untimely death is not necessarily a bad thing, but a blessing.

Why do you say that? Because this is determined by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's "consort status" and their position in the military. Wei Qing was originally the younger brother of Queen Wei Zifu and also a general, with prominent status and high status. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed in Wei Qing, as a very talented and far-sighted emperor, he did not trust to hand over all the power to command the army to Wei Qing.

Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty supported Huo Qubing as his confidant and trained Huo Qubing as a military commander who could keep pace with Wei Qing, so as to carve up Wei Qing's power, so that the two could not dominate each other and had to listen to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty later discovered that Huo Qubing, who was youthful, was more difficult to control than Wei Qing, who was honest and cautious. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once advised Huo Qubing to read Sun Tzu and Wu Qi's works on the art of war to improve his military quality, but Huo Qubing refused and said directly: "Marching and fighting depends on flexible strategies, and it is not necessary to learn the art of war of the ancients!" The son of heaven tasted Sun Wu's art of war and wanted to teach it, saying, "If you care about the general plan, you won't learn the ancient art of war."

On another occasion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a magnificent mansion and invited Huo Qubing to see his new house. Huo Qubing didn't thank Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but said, "Why should we stay at home when the Huns are immortal!" Directly swept the interest of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. You know, before Qin Shihuang went to war, Wang Jian, the general of Qin Shihuang, first asked Qin Shihuang for fertile land, beautiful houses and treasures of gold and silver, in order to reassure Qin Shihuang that he had no intention of serving the country, but just wanted some money, real estate and a good life. But Huo Qubing did the opposite, which made Emperor Wu afraid.

After Huo Qubing became Fu, he was on an equal footing with his uncle Wei Qing, and even gained more popularity than Wei Qing, so he was a latecomer. Huo Qubing doesn't know the generals who have made great contributions to Gao Zhen, so he needs to keep a low profile especially, because "the full moon loses". The reason why Wei Qing kept a low profile and was cautious was to preserve our sanity, while Huo Qubing dared to accept Wei Qing's public guests and recommended these people to be officials, making a big taboo that the general could not form a clique.

Order, make a title of generals in ancient times and general lu rank. Naturally, after the general retired, a title of generals in ancient times became more and more expensive. Give an old friend of the general the title of ancient general and get a rank, but Ren An refused.

In the fifth year of Yuanshou (before 1 18), Wei Qing was injured by the sons of Li Guang, Lang and Gan in Shanhaiguan. Huo Qubing learned that, without the consent of Emperor Wu, he shot and killed Li Gan while hunting in Ganquan Palace. At that time, Huo Qubing was very popular, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty concealed it, saying that Li Gan was killed by a deer, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already begun to be dissatisfied with Huo Qubing's killing of senior court officials.

Because it is the emperor's power to kill and seize power, no one can overstep it. Besides, Huo Qubing is also a heavily armed consort, and her identity is extremely sensitive. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to worry that Huo Qubing would be overbearing and uncontrollable in the future. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was alive, so Huo Qubing naturally dared not change. So after the death of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, can the son of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty make Huo Qubing submit? Hard to say!

Huo Qubing made great contributions to the world, which was remembered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Wei Zifu was the queen and Wei Qing was the general. If Huo Qubing continues like this, once the Liu family's world is endangered and the imperial power of the son of heaven is threatened, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who is willing to kill Mrs. Gou Jian and the criminal prince will care about getting sick that has nothing to do with himself. Therefore, Huo Qubing's untimely death avoided the possibility of the above situation, but it was a blessing!
