After Emperor Wudi ascended the throne, the production of the first two emperors, Emperor Wendi, and the economic period of the Han Dynasty recovered rapidly, with an increase in population, rich social wealth and enhanced economic strength. In particular, 300,000 war horses were trained in the border areas, so the war potential of letters was greatly enhanced. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty prepared large-scale and powerful manpower and material resources for the Xiongnu, and the conditions for countering the predatory war of Xiongnu nobles were completely mature. Therefore, in the early Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wudi changed the defensive strategy of passive concession and began a strategic counterattack and offensive action for more than 40 years.
After Xiongnu monarchs and ministers came to power in their later years, the national strength of Xiongnu was further strengthened and its territory was further expanded. At that time (now northern Xinjiang, Soviet Prime Minister Pu, and parts of western Mongolia) and Zhenkun (now the upper reaches of Yenisei River and Oko River in the Soviet Union) were occupied by Huns. Dawan (Fergana Valley, Soviet Union) Xiongnu established Zong Dawei in An 'an, Weixi and Yuli, Xinjiang, and ruled the western countries. Today, the northwest and north of Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei and other provinces, and the northeast and west are also nomadic living areas of Xiongnu tribes. Xiongnu's national strength is at its peak. At that time, it had the most powerful cavalry in the world and sufficient wealth of war materials, and it was the most difficult opponent in the Western Han Dynasty.
Six years before Liu Che ascended the throne, he continued to carry out the policy of "pro-marriage" of the previous generation, and there was no major border conflict. In the sixth year of Emperor Jian Yuan of the Han Dynasty (BC 135), the Xiongnu military minister was sent to Han and asked for "marriage". Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called ministers to discuss whether the Huns were "evil relatives" or sent troops to attack. The agent Ren Yan Wanghui (official name of the Western Han Dynasty) said that he had worked in the border areas for many years, so he knew more about the Xiongnu. "Han people and Xiongnu, a few years later, Xiongnu betrayed and attacked Han people, but they could not yield and sent troops to attack." Han Anguo, a senior Xinong, after analyzing the specific situation of both sides in Han Xun, thinks that the disadvantages of the Korean army's militaristic conquest of the Huns far away outweigh the advantages. And you can't bring a crossbow, the arrow is tilted, the wind ends, the strength can't float red hat, and the strength will eventually decline at the beginning of the rain. It is better to confront inconvenience than to reconcile. "
In the first year of Yuan Guang in the Han Dynasty (BC 134), Wen Ant in Yanqi (now Zhao County, Shanxi Province) was made friends with Xiongnu, and recently Wang Hui, who made friends with Han, played the role of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the ministers for advice, but the king still stubbornly resisted. However, Han Anguo still thinks that it is not good for Han Han to fight against an opponent like Xiongnu. I waited for the March, and the Xiongnu army was lazy and hungry, so I was hard to beat. The king advocated a war with the Huns. Wang Hui believes that as long as we beat the Huns by 1% of Han's powerful national strength, we will win. In addition, we can also lure the enemy into ambush and succeed. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally planned to March on the Xiongnu, but after listening to Wang Fuyuan's suggestion, he decided to send troops to trap and kill the Xiongnu army. This is the famous trick of the Han Dynasty in the history of China.
The commander of the North Korean army is Inspector Han Anguo. General Li Guang, General Gong, General Zhang Tun, General Wang Hui and General Li Zicheng, the butcher, ambushed the troops in the valley near Mayi, waiting for the Huns to trap and kill them. Wang Hui, Li Guang and other departments, on behalf of the Huns. First of all, Nie Boweng fled to Xiongnu, and Li Jue lured Xiongnu to send troops, which created conditions for the Korean army to wipe out the enemy. The Xiongnu army only wanted to seek benefits, and the Xiongnu army went down to the commander in chief. Due to the proud habit formed over the years, the soldiers were completely unprepared for emergencies.
The process of ant ambush. After the Korean army occupied the favorable terrain around Mayi as planned, it sent Nyon to Xiongnu. Nie Yong said to Dan Yu after seeing Yu Dan, a Hun. "If I cut Mayiling, I will win, and I will get all my possessions when I get to the city." A man believed it after listening to it and agreed with Nie Boweng's statement. After Nie Yong returned to Mayi, Han Jun killed a condemned man, hung his head on the tower, pretending to be Mayi's victorious head, and deliberately let the Xiongnu messengers see it. The Xiongnu messenger quickly thanked him. "Ant Village is dead, come quickly." Premier Wen entered Nanjin and Wuzhousai (now Zuoyun County, Shanxi Province) with a professional speed of 654.38+ 10,000 cavalry. Ma Su's plot: The 300,000-strong army of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty lured and killed the Huns, and finally got a plan of gain and loss.
In order to determine the Huns, the Korean army deliberately dispersed the Mai people into the wild. When the Xiongnu army started looting from Mayi to Baili, they saw livestock all over the ground, but some people couldn't let go. The monarch and his subjects immediately became suspicious, occupied the nearby beacon tower and captured the Wuzhou Imperial Guard. Wei is afraid of being killed by Shi Xun. They were just afraid that when they heard about it, they recruited Han Bing and Li Pumai, and quickly led the army to withdraw from the Great Wall. The monarch and his subjects said generously after they resigned. "I feel comforted, and this is also an act of god." Seeing the Huns retreating, the Korean army hurried to catch up with the Serbian army. But the Xiongnu army was too far away to catch up, so it sent troops. At this time, more than 30 thousand horses recovered by the king learned that the Xiongnu soldiers did not fight with the Korean army. He wanted to cut off the radiation weight of the Xiongnu army, but he was afraid of meeting the elite tarkan, but he didn't stay put, didn't dare to attack, and finally retreated. For the first time, the Korean army ambushed the Xiongnu with an army of 300,000, and it ended in nothing.
