Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 230 The Xiongnu’s Father——Wei Qing

[The cold day conquers the generals of the west, Xiao Xiao Wan Ma Cong.Blow the snow that covers the building, I wish the flag is full of wind. 】

[The yellow clouds are broken to cover the captives, and the Qiang and white grass are empty.The golden cymbal hangs out of the sky, and the jade tent is in the still frost. 】

【The Shuano Great Wall is closed, and the old road in Heyuan is open.Master Wei Qing was old, and Wei Jiang rewarded He Gong. 】

[The gun base is in the sand, and the gate is pressing against the male.Yan Ran is as beautiful as Kele, and Wanli is willing to follow the public. 】

After the song "Jingzhou Guanyuan Rong Dispatched the Army" by Rong Yu of the Tang Dynasty, a new inventory of the top ten military gods began again.

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the top ten military gods in Chinese history! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

[The seventh place among the top ten military gods in Chinese history: Horse stepping on the Huns, Wei Qing! 】

"Wei Qing is ranked seventh???" Liu Che murmured to himself in disbelief, and then he said with regret: "It's a pity that Huo Qubing is on the list of fierce generals, and this military god list will miss out."

"Have you found out that there hasn't been a founding commander so far."

"It seems that Lao Xu has hope this time!"

[Wei Qing, courtesy name Zhongqing, was born in Pingyang, Hedong. He was a great general during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the younger brother of Empress Wei Zifu, and the uncle of the famous general Huo Qubing. 】

【Wei Qing was born in a poor family. There is one older brother and three older sisters in his family, and his life is very poor.

What's even more unfortunate is that Wei Qing is not the son of the Wei family, but the illegitimate son of his mother and Zheng Ji, a small official who is in charge of Pingyang Hou's family. Therefore, due to his birth, the two families do not want to see him. 】

[In the beginning, Wei Qing lived with his father.

But his father didn't love him, instead he sent him to herd the sheep. He didn't have enough food and clothing and was looked down upon by others. Wei Qing suffered a lot at a young age.

But this ignorant young man never complained. Instead, he learned riding and archery while herding sheep, exercising his body, and always fantasized about learning all-in-one skills and serving the country.

The hardships in his childhood also cultivated Wei Qing's character of perseverance, modesty and prudence, which also laid a solid foundation for his future growth. 】

[After growing up, Wei Qing moved into the Pingyang Hou Mansion with his mother and became a riding slave.

Once, Wei Qing followed others to Ganquan Palace.

A prisoner saw Wei Qing's face and said, "You have the face of a nobleman, and you will definitely be an official and a marquis in the future."

At that time, Wei Qing would never have thought that he would really be able to rise to the top. He just took it as a joke when he became an official, and then replied with a smile: "I'm just the son of a slave, and it's a lucky thing not to be abused by others. Dare to think about being an official and a marquis."]

[However, not long after, Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu was taken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and brought back to the palace.

Not long after, Wei Zifu became pregnant. Empress Chen tried to kill Wei Zifu and threatened Wei Zifu by arresting Wei Qing.

Fortunately, Wei Qing's colleague Gongsun Ao immediately led his troops to rescue Wei Qing after learning about the incident, so Wei Qing escaped unharmed.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned of this, he deposed Empress Chen and appointed Wei Qing as Jianzhang supervisor and servant.A blessing in disguise, Wei Qing began a smooth official career.

With the elder sister Wei Zifu being called into the palace by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing's skills honed by the bottom of the society for many years finally have a place to use. 】

[As early as the pre-Qin period, the Huns were already very powerful and frequently plundered the borders of China.

At that time, they mainly plundered the three northern vassal states of Zhao, Yan, and Qin.

By the time Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, the Xiongnu had broken through the Great Wall of Zhao and posed a great threat to the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, Qin Shihuang sent Meng Tian to drive the Huns to the north and conscripted corvees to build the Great Wall, which finally made the Huns withdraw from the Hetao area. "Hu people dare not go south As for herding horses, scholars dare not bend their bows and complain.” This curbs the trend of the Xiongnu’s aggression.

However, the good times didn't last long. After the death of the first emperor, Meng Tian also died soon.

However, Maodun of the Huns killed his father and ascended to power, expelled other countries in the Western Regions, and took advantage of the chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty to try to expand his power southward.Around the second century BC, the Xiongnu, who had been expelled from the Yinshan Mountains, once again galloped in the Hetao area. 】

[The Han Dynasty is a country that inherited the Qin Dynasty, and its political system is mostly taken from the Qin Dynasty, and the same is true for the enemy.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu began to invade south.

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, led an army to attack the Xiongnu, but was besieged in Pingcheng in the end. If Chen Ping hadn't made a clever plan to resolve the crisis, Liu Bang might have to be buried here.

In fact, when the Western Han Dynasty was first established, the country was in ruins, the people were dying, and the finances were empty. It was really not a good time to confront the Xiongnu head-on.

In contrast, the Xiongnu's power has reached its peak under the wanton expansion of Yin Maodun Shanyu. Compared with the two, the main battle of the Han Dynasty is really powerless.

Therefore, Gaozu sent envoys to carry out the policy of "peace with relatives" and made them brothers with the Xiongnu. Wenjing also continued this policy after that.

However, the Huns did not stop because of the retreat of the Han Dynasty. Instead, they intensified and repeatedly tore up treaties and carried out plundering. This also planted the seeds for the change of the peace policy during the Emperor Wu period. 】

[During the nearly ten years from the third year of Jianyuan (138 BC) to the sixth year of Yuanguang (129 BC) of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing has been following Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, silently studying state affairs and government affairs of the court, and accumulated a large amount of experience and political wisdom.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated his relatives and formally took power, the national power of the Han Dynasty soared day by day. Emperor Wu decided to implement a tough policy with the Xiongnu, and the era of Wei Qing began. 】

【Wei Qing went to the battlefield for the first time in the sixth year of Yuanguang. In this year, the Xiongnu invaded the south, and Shanggu was the first to bear the brunt.

The Xiongnu army suppressed the border.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the court hall, "Who has a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

However, there was no sound in the hall.

In the end, the courageous and resolute Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resolutely announced the decree, and ordered Wei Qing to be the general of chariots and cavalry, leading [-] cavalry to go out of Shanggu to meet the enemy.

At the same time, he sent several groups of troops to different places to meet the Xiongnu.

Among them, the one who was sent to Yanmen was Li Guang, a parachutist who had experienced many battles. 】

[This is Wei Qing's first time leading a large army into battle.

But he did not directly send troops to the valley, but first sent people to inquire about the news of the Huns.

The soldiers who came back reported that the Xiongnu had concentrated most of their forces at Yanmen to deal with Li Guang, and even the Huns vanguard who had invaded Shanggu not long ago also rushed to reinforce.

Therefore, Wei Qing decisively ordered to cross the Great Wall and march into the desert.After a day and night of rapid marching, they finally arrived at Dragon City.

The Huns never dreamed that the Han army would attack Longcheng!

Facing the cavalry of the Han Dynasty falling from the sky, the Huns had no will to resist and fled in all directions.

Wei Qing took the opportunity to lead an army to hide and kill, and beheaded [-] Huns cavalry, winning the first victory of the Han Dynasty's active attack on the Huns. 】

[In addition to the two armies of Wei Qing and Li Guang, there are also two armies led by Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He respectively.

Among the four generals, apart from Wei Qing, the other three are veterans who have fought in the battlefield for many years.

However, the final situation of the battle was: the four armies were defeated twice, and all the way returned without success. Instead, Wei Qing, who was on the battlefield for the first time, drove directly to Longcheng, not only won the only victory, but also captured 700 people.

It was precisely because of this great victory that Wei Qing was sealed off as Marquis of Guan Nei, and started his "undefeated life" battlefield career! 】

[And this victory also strengthened the confidence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight against the Huns! 】
