Brief introduction of Wei Qing's life.

Wei Qing, Zhong Qing, from Pingyang, Hedong. A famous Western Han Dynasty star, the younger brother of Wei Zifu, the second empress of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, became a general of the government when Emperor Wu was in office, and was appointed as the county chief of Pinghou.

Wei Qing's first expedition was a surprise attack on Longcheng, which started the Sino-Hungarian War. He won seven battles, recovered Heshuo and Hetao areas, broke Khan, and made great contributions to the development of the northern territory. Wei Qing is good at fighting, dares to fight in depth, is strict with generals, loves soldiers, and is generous and polite to his colleagues. He is a minister, not a bully.

Five years, Wei Qing died. Buried in the northeast of Maoling 1000 meter Lushan Mountain, posthumous title "Meng".

Miserable childhood

Wei Qing's mother's name is Ivy. There are a man and three women with her husband: the eldest son is Wei's eldest son, the eldest daughter is Wei Tong, and the third daughter is Wei Zifu. Ai, the guardian, had an affair with the county magistrate who came to Pingyang to handle affairs and gave birth to Wei Qing. Because of the hard life, Wei Qing was sent to the home of his biological father, Zheng Ji. But Zheng Ji asked Wei Qing to herd sheep, and Jia Zheng's son didn't regard Wei Qing as a brother and called him a slave. Wei Qing was older and didn't want to be enslaved by the Zheng family, so he returned to his mother and became Princess Pingyang's riding slave.

On one occasion, Wei Qing followed others to Ganquan Palace. A prisoner saw his face and said, "This is the face of a noble man. An official is an official. " Wei Qing smiled and said, "As the son of a slave, I am very lucky. I just want to avoid being scolded. How can you talk about meritorious service? "

Benefit from misfortune

In the spring of the second year of Jian 'an, Wei Zifu, the third sister of Wei Qing, was taken by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and visited Bapingyang House.

After three years of Jian 'an, Wei Zifu, who was left out in the cold for more than a year after entering the palace, was lucky to get pregnant again, which caused the jealousy of Empress Chen. Her mother, Princess Guantao, sent someone to arrest Wei Qing, who was building a constitution, with the intention of killing him. Colleague Gong took someone to save Wei Qing after hearing the news. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned of this incident, he was furious and immediately appointed Wei Qing as Zhang Jian's supervisor and assistant, named Wei Zifu as his wife and named Wei Changjun as his assistant. Enjoy Wei Qing for a few days, up to one woman. Married a public servant, GongSunHe, and Wei Xiaoer married a descendant, Zhang Zhan. Gongsun ao is therefore a formidable person. Later, Wei Qing was appointed as a doctor in Taizhong, with a salary of several thousand stones, and was in charge of the discussion of state affairs.

In the nearly ten years from 138 BC to 129 BC, Wei Qing followed the emperor as a supervisor and servant, heard about the state affairs together with the emperor, and later became a doctor in the imperial court, which showed that his talents won the trust of Emperor Wu, and laid a good foundation for the Xiongnu's seven voyages to the Western Ocean. He even served as General Fu, participated in the discussion of political affairs, and was in charge of the cardinals of China and North Korea.

Military life

1. In the sixth year of Yuanguang, the Huns marched south to the valley. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Wei Qing as the general and led ten thousand cavalry to meet the Huns. Emperor Wu of Han attacked four times. General Wei Qing rode out of the valley, General Gongsun Ao rode out, General Gongsun He rode out of the clouds, and General Li Guang rode out of Yanmen to send troops. Four generals each led ten thousand cavalry.

Wei Qing's first expedition, bold and calm, went deep into danger, and went straight to Liuzhou, a sacred place for the Huns to worship heaven. He captured 700 people first and won a great victory. The other three roads, two roads failed and one road failed. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that only Wei Qing won, he named Wei Qing the Hou of Shanhaiguan. The Battle of Longcheng was the first victory over Xiongnu since the early Han Dynasty, which laid a good foundation for the rise of Xiongnu.

3. In the second year of Yuanshuo, Xiongnu invaded Shanggu and Yuyang on a large scale. First, he attacked western Liaoning, killed its satrap, and then defeated Han Anguo, commander-in-chief of Yuyang, and plundered more than 2,000 people. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Xi to attack Daijun, and Wei Qing led an army to attack Huns-occupied Henan. With the tactic of "circuitous attack", he marched westward to the rear of Xiongnu army, quickly captured Gaoque, and cut off the connection between King Aries and King Loufan of Xiongnu stationed in Henan and Khan Wang Ting. Then, Wei Qing led Yamazaki, flew south, and entered the west of Longxian County, forming the siege of Aries King and Loufan King. The Han army captured thousands of enemy troops alive, seized millions of livestock and took control of the Hetao area.

Because this area is rich in aquatic plants and the situation is dangerous, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Shuofang City here, and set up Shuofang County and Wuyuan County, where 100,000 mainland immigrants settled, restoring the frontier fortress and fortifications along the river built by Meng Tian in Qin Dynasty. Tarquin's direct threat to Chang 'an was lifted, and a forward base was established to further counter the Huns.

This battle was fought by the Han army, and Wei Qing made great contributions. It is named Changping Hou and has 3,800 food cities. Su Jian and Zhang Cigong took a captain as their generals, namely Ping and Ji Suohou.

In the summer of the first month of the third year, tens of thousands of cavalry attacked Dai Jun, killing friends of the satrap and plundering thousands of people. Autumn into the wild goose gate, killing more than a thousand enemies. In the first month of the fourth year, the Huns sent thirty thousand cavalry to Dai Jun, Dingxiang and Shangjun.

4. In the spring of the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the court ordered Wei Qing to lead 30 thousand cavalry to send troops from Gaoque; Wei Jian was appointed as a guerrilla general, Li Ju and Zuo Neshi were appointed as strong crossbow generals, and Gong Sunhe was appointed as a servant shooter, a riding general, a representative of China and a flashy general. They all belong to Wei Qing, the general of riding and shooting, and sent troops from the north together; The court also appointed Li Xi, the governor of the big bank, and Zhang Cigong, the governor, as generals, and sent troops from right Beiping. They all went to attack the Huns. The Huns faced Wei Qing and other soldiers right, thinking that the Han army could not get here, and began to drink. In the evening, the Han army came and surrounded the right Wang Xian; Wang Xian was frightened and ran away overnight. Alone with one of his concubines and hundreds of powerful cavalry, he broke through in a hurry and headed north. Guo Cheng, the captain of Qingqi, chased hundreds of miles and failed to catch up. The Han army captured more than ten people, more than fifteen thousand men and women, and tens of millions of livestock.

After receiving the battle report, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a special envoy to worship Wei Qing as a general in the army, sealing six thousand grain cities, and all the generals were under his command. Wei Qing's three sons were made princes by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The eldest son is Hou Yichun, the second son Wei is undoubtedly Yin Anhou, and the youngest son is Hou, with a food market of 1,300. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded Gong Sunhe, Gong Sunhe, Zhao Buyu, Gong Sunrongnu, Li Ju and Dou Ruyi. Who fought alongside Wei Qing.

5. In the spring and summer of the sixth year of Yuanshuo, Wei Qing led 100,000 cavalry to attack Xiongnu twice as a general. Destroy more than ten thousand Xiongnu troops.

In February, Gongsun Ao was the general, Gongsun He was the left general, Zhao Xin was the former general, Su Jian was the right general, Li Guang was the later general, and Li Ju was the strong crossbow general. Under the command of General Wei Qing, he led the Sixth Route Army. It is mighty and magnificent. Starting from Dingxiang, hundreds of miles north. After the war, the whole army returned to Dingxiang to rest, and went out again a month later, capturing more than 10 thousand Xiongnu troops. Following General Zhang Qian's expedition, he was named Bo Wanghou in Zhang Qian. Wei Qing's nephew, Huo Qubing, led 800 horses to attack alone, captured 2,028 people including Hun Khan's uncle and prime minister, beheaded Khan's grandfather and became a champion. It is not good for a general to reward his daughter.

6. In the early spring of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty brought 6.5438+0.4 million war horses.

Wei Qing's army, however, encountered the Xiongnu Khan as the main force. Wei Qing ordered former general Li Guang and right general Zhao Shi to merge and outflank from the right. Since the rate left general GongSunHe, after general Cao Xiang from the front against the main khan. Wei wqmttx ordered WU GANG's cars to be arranged in a circular camp, and ordered five thousand cavalry to gallop at Xiongnu. There are about ten thousand people in tarquin. It happened that the sun was setting, the wind was blowing, the sand hit people's faces, and neither army could see the other. The Han army ordered the left and right wings to gallop forward and outflank Khan. Khan saw that there were many Han troops, but the army horses were still very strong. If there is a war, it will be bad for the Huns. So, in the evening, Khan rode a cart pulled by six mules, with about 100 strong cavalry, rushed into the encirclement of the Han army and galloped away to the northwest. At this time, it was dusk, and the Han army and the Xiongnu fought in melee, with roughly the same number of casualties. The left captain of the Han army caught the Xiongnu prisoner and said that Khan had left before dark, so the Han army sent light cavalry to pursue him overnight, followed by the general's army. Xiongnu soldiers scattered. Until dawn, the Han army had gone more than 200 miles, captured and killed more than 9000 enemy soldiers/kloc-0, and then caught up with Khan and arrived at Zhao Xincheng, Yanshan, Hue, to obtain the food accumulated by the Xiongnu for the army to eat. The Han army stayed for a day and returned, burning all the food left in the city before returning. When the army returned to camp, they met Li, lost their way and lost their future.

The battle of Mobei defeated the main force of Xiongnu in Mobei, and gradually moved to the northwest, without the strength of going south for more than ten years. However, the Han army suffered great losses, with 6.5438+0.4 million troops, and only 30,000 troops were sent back. The Han army lost hundreds of thousands of horses, weapons, armor, combat and other land and water transportation costs. Not included, so the money and taxes from the state treasury are still not enough to pay soldiers. In order to raise military expenses, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the title of military commander.

In recognition of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's meritorious military service, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named them Fu, which can replace Qiu in managing daily military and political affairs.

Feng yi wan Hu

Wei Qing was named Hou of Changping, and later he was given two useful titles. According to the records in Historical Records, there are16,700 fiefs, while there are 22,000 and 30,000 different records in Hanshu.

Seek reconciliation after illness

In the fifth year of Feng, Wei Qing died of illness, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a mausoleum in the shape of Yinshan Mountain in the northeast of Maoling, "starting from Lushan Mountain". We call it "Meng" and take "learning from the law" as the meaning of "outstanding meritorious service, respect for morality and dedication". After Wei Qing's death, Liang Wudi tried his best to seek the virtuous.
