Counting the ancient military generals in China, Huo Qubing is probably the most legendary. /kloc-joined the army at the age of 0/7 and died suddenly at the age of 23. In every six years, he beat the Huns six times, captured 1 1 10,000 people, reduced the enemy to tens of thousands below the evil king, and opened the land of Jiuquan in Hexi; Outstanding military exploits, although there are many ancient and modern famous soldiers, they are rarely comparable. Huo Qubing made this immortal achievement at a young age, which is shocking in China society where success or failure is the hero. I don't need to elaborate. For more than two thousand years, various topics surrounding him have never stopped. In particular, the reason why he can achieve such brilliant achievements is the focus of hot discussion among "military fans" in past dynasties. Those who support him regard him as a natural god of war, while those who suppress him say that he is a coincidence and there are different opinions. The author believes that the evaluation of a character can not be "black and white" across the board, but should be analyzed in connection with the specific historical environment, the growth experience of the character and the personality endowment. Mencius once put forward the viewpoint of "knowing people and discussing the world" in literary criticism. In fact, it is not only literary criticism, but also the evaluation of historical figures. If we don't analyze the specific historical environment, the growth experience and personality of the characters, it will be easy to simplify and be one-sided. We will judge right and wrong by likes and dislikes, and pour the pieces in our chests with the ancient wine glasses. Objectively speaking, Huo Qubing is not a general who is good at military theory, and he is not even interested in it. "The Biography of General Wei's Ancient title of generals in ancient times" contains that "the son of heaven (Emperor Wu) tried to teach Sun Wu the art of war and said to him,' If you care about the general's plan, you won't learn the ancient art of war.' "Moreover, he doesn't care about foot soldiers, nor can he share joys and sorrows with his men. Even on the battlefield of blood and fire, he did some arrogant things. "Historical Records Biography of General Wei" contains "however, few people serve, expensive, and ignorant." When he joined the army, the son of heaven sent an official with a multiplier of ten, and he returned it, abandoning meat and starving the people. Outside the Great Wall, soldiers were short of food or unable to arouse themselves, while the ancient title of general was still crossing the territory. "Obviously, as a strategist, Huo Qubing is far from perfect. However, he can be invincible, invincible, and his military achievements far exceed those of battlefield veterans who are familiar with the art of war and have experienced many battles, which cannot but arouse people's strong interest in inquiry. The author thinks that there are several reasons why Huo Qubing teenagers get ahead and become famous in the north. First of all, it is the victory of a strong comprehensive national strength. From Gaozu to Jingdi, the Han Dynasty implemented the policy of recuperation for a long time, rewarding farming and reducing rent and interest, which fully mobilized the enthusiasm of farmers to rebuild their homes and finally achieved the goal of enriching Qiang Bing. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were abundant savings and rich treasuries, which laid a strong material foundation for turning relatives into soldiers and driving Xiongnu to the north. It can be said that without Han's strong comprehensive national strength, there would be no trade-off between Han and Hungary's military strength, and there would be no situation in which the border situation between China and Hungary was easy to attack and defend. The famous Mobei War is the best proof. At that time, it was not so much a decisive battle of the military strength of both sides as a decisive battle of the comprehensive national strength of both sides. In this campaign, a total of 65,438+10,000 people rode across the desert in the Western Han Dynasty, and a large number of infantry, chariots and140,000 horses were used as transport forces to transport food, clothing and ordnance, which provided the most solid logistical support for the frontline combat troops. Such a campaign scale is unimaginable without strong national strength as the backing. Secondly, it is the victory of Emperor Wu's strategic thought of active attack. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the military threat of the powerful Xiongnu tribe, like a sword hanging over the head of the Central Plains dynasty, became a nightmare that people could not get rid of. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were many sorrows everywhere, and the people were miserable, so they could no longer compete with the Xiongnu. The rulers had to bear the burden of humiliation and carry out the policy of "affinity", but countless property gifts could not satisfy the greed of Xiongnu nobles. During Emperor Wendi's reign, the Huns invaded twice, and the soldiers attacked Chang 'an. The capital was in danger, and Manchu was frightened. No one is allowed to snore and sleep beside the sofa! After the wise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he changed the previous compromise policy of forbearance and peace, gave up "hiding relatives" and took tough offensive operations in an attempt to completely eliminate the intrusion of the Huns. Third, it is the victory of the construction of cavalry arms. The period of Emperor Wudi is an important stage in the history of China's military system, which is a major turning point from the combination of chariots and horses to cavalry as the main body of combat. Large-scale use of cavalry groups, quick maneuvers and long-distance raids are one of the main reasons why Huo Qubing can achieve brilliant achievements. The development of cavalry in Han dynasty can be roughly divided into several stages with Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty as the boundary. Before that, cavalry and chariots were equally important, and later cavalry completely replaced chariots and became the main arms of the army in Han Dynasty. Fourth, it is the victory of long-range offensive strategy and tactics. Huo Qubing's operational strategy can be said to be an innovation of the tactical concept of the Han army. His battle can be described as circuitous and deep, interspersed and surrounded, and he completed circuitous and interspersed with the fastest speed, surrounded the Xiongnu and dealt a devastating blow to it from the weakest link. In the two battles in Hexi, the soldiers and horses of his department gave up supplies, traveled light and fast, and had dinner on the spot. They quickly launched a decisive battle when the Huns were unstable, annihilated them in one fell swoop and cut off the right arm of the Huns. The so-called local provision means looting the Huns' rear and supplementing the military supplies. This strategy not only solved the problem of its own supply, but also hit the production capacity of Xiongnu to the greatest extent, which greatly destroyed the economy of Xiongnu, thus making the Han Dynasty establish its absolute advantage over Xiongnu in economy and military. Fifth, it is the victory of extraordinary heroism. There is Huo Qubing's "Dare to Take Responsibility" in Biography of General Wei in Historical Records, and his "Ride with the strong first, then ride with the strong" in Biography of Han Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing fights, does not avoid difficulties and obstacles, bravely carries heavy burdens, is brave and fearless, and is brave and tenacious; Before the two armies, he always risked his life to forget himself. In the desert south war, he left only 800 cavalry in the big army, chasing hundreds of miles, and dealt a devastating blow to the powerful enemy. "If the beheaded lu, rank two hundred and twenty-eight, for the prime minister, for the fact. If you are a great father, you will be able to capture Luo Jiabi, the father of the season (the title of general in the ancient biography of General Wei). In the battle of Hexi, he only led 65,438+/kloc-0,000,000 cavalry and went forward alone. After difficulties and obstacles, he "fought for six days and crossed Yanqi Mountain for more than a thousand miles", killing thousands of enemies. On the way back to Li, I fought with cavalry and the enemy at the foot of Gaolan Mountain. Although he won, he lost more than half. You can imagine the hardship and tragic degree of this battle. Hexi surrendered. In the face of the riot situation that was about to get out of control, he made a decisive decision and took the lead in "rushing into" the Xiongnu army, "meeting the evil king and beheading eight dying people", and he was in awe of his great power to surrender the enemy. In the Mobei War, he was even more alone, chasing death and driving north, taking the "Huanglong" and sealing the wolf in Xuxu, winning a great victory. Sixth, the victory of the determination to die for the country. Huo Qubing was personally trained and appointed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He seems to like Huo Qubing better than all the ministers. Of course, there are many factors such as nepotism and personal feelings, but the most fundamental reason is that Huo Qubing has a strong spirit of serving the country and the momentum of making great efforts. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a beautiful house for Huo Qubing and invited him to visit it. Huo Qubing said an eternal saying, "Huns are immortal, so they can't get married.". In a sense, it is precisely because of this noble character that Huo Qubing forgot his home for his country and made great achievements. A hero is known in the time of misfortune. Huo Qubing's glory is the result of cooperation between monarch and minister, and it is the spark of the needs of the times and personal endowment.
