The Battle of Mobei, the final battle of Huo Qu's disease, lost 78% of the battle.
In the autumn of 120 B.C., the Xiongnu cavalry of 20,000, divided the army into two routes, killed and plundered thousands of people, one of which attacked Youbeiping and Dingxiang.
After more than ten years of baptism of war, the northern border of the Han Dynasty was still infested by a small number of Xiongnu cavalry. At the same time, in the country of the Han Dynasty, a serious incident occurred.
The Great Wilderness of the Eastern Mountains, the history books record that there was a great flood in Shandong, and many people went to famine. In order to relieve the poor, the Son of Heaven sent envoys to open the warehouses of the various counties, but it was still not enough, so he appealed to those who could afford the rich and wealthy to lend money to the poor.
In the end, the imperial court relocated hundreds of thousands of poor people to the west of Guan and south of Chongshuo Fang in Xinqin, and their food and clothing were provided by **. After a few years, ** will lend them some property.
In order to protect these poor people, the imperial court also sent envoys to take care of them. The cost of this measure is in the hundreds of millions of dollars. It can be seen from this that most of the ancient ** dynasties adopted welfare policies when dealing with disasters in grassroots society.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's strategy for water control included financial assistance, encouraging donations from wealthy merchants, and finally a relocation plan.
Although the relocation of 700,000 people was extremely risky and could trigger a popular uprising, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with wisdom and courage, successfully solved this problem and further consolidated the Hetao region as a key military location.
In order to consolidate the northern border and solve the problem of flooding in the eastern part of the country, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted a relocation policy, providing subsidies for food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the migrating people.
At the same time, in the Battle of Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the strategy of the Xiongnu to mobilize 100,000 war horses and tens of thousands of infantry, and the young general Huo Qubing led 50,000 elite cavalry as the core main force.
Despite the initial changes in deployment, in the end the Han army managed to defeat the Xiongnu and win the battle. The Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi carefully planned, shifted the logistical baggage, and waited for Wei Qing's army, but was ultimately defeated by the Han army.
He was weaving a huge net of traps, preparing to completely surround Wei Qing's army. After Wei Qing led the army out of the fortress, a Hun soldier ** again, he revealed Shan Yu's location, attracting Wei Qing's army to continue to march north.
However, Wei Qing didn't know that every step he took was in the calculations of others, and every step he took was a trap. In the process of going north, Wei Qing ordered the former general Li Guang and the right general Zhao Shiqi to join forces as a flank protection for the army's northward advance.
Wei Qing led the army out of the fortress for more than 1,000 miles, crossed the desert, and finally met Yizhi Xiandanyu. At this time, Yi Zhixie's cavalry was already in full formation, forming a dense formation.
Wei Qing immediately ordered the Wugang chariot to surround a circle to form a battalion formation to ensure the safety of the Chinese army, and at the same time sent 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard to attack the Xiongnu. Fierce fighting began in the evening, when a sudden strong wind blew and the wind and sand enveloped the soldiers on both sides.
Wei Qing seized this opportunity and sent additional troops on the left and right flanks to outflank Yi Zhixian.
After the defeat of Yi Zhixian, he led the elite cavalry to flee to the northwest and was discovered by Wei Qing. Wei Qing decisively ordered the whole army to pursue overnight, and he himself personally led the main force to follow, and the Han army traveled more than 200 miles in the dark night, successfully captured and killed more than 19,000 Xiongnu, and then arrived at Zhaoxin City in Yanshan, burned all the grain in the city, and then returned to southern Xinjiang.
On the way back to the south, Wei Qing met Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi. Huo Qubing led the army from Daijun, crossed the desert, traveled more than 2,000 miles, and met the troops of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.
In a fierce battle, Huo Qubing relied on 50,000 elite cavalry to successfully capture three senior generals of the Xiongnu, including the king of Tuntou and the king of Han, as well as 83 generals, Xiangguo, Danghu, and Duwei, and captured a total of 70,443 Xiongnu soldiers.
Worship the gods of heaven in Wolf Juxu Mountain, sacrifice to the gods of the earth in Guyan Mountain, Huo Qubing climbed the mountain peak next to Hanhai and overlooked. In this battle, the great general Wei Qing, the left general Gongsun He, and the later general Cao Xuan were all unable to achieve victory, and the former general Li Guang could not bear the shame of defeat and drew his sword to kill himself.
The right general, Zhao Shiqi, was convicted and executed, but was later pardoned and became a civilian. Huo Qu** won 5,800 households of food and food for this exploit, and his generals were also rewarded.
In the Battle of Mobei, there were 100,000 war horses fighting on the front line and 40,000 transport horses. When Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing's troops returned to the border area for review, there were only 30,000 horses left, and the battle loss ratio was staggering.
However, only three years after the end of the Battle of Mobei, the 24-year-old Huo Qubing died of illness. He's a proud teenager, he said"The Huns are not destroyed, and there is no home"。
He lived in the vast desert and used his heroic exploits to reshape the northern territory of the Han Dynasty, but at the same time sacrificed his short life.
