In his early years, Wei Qing was the illegitimate son of Wei Wei, a servant in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and Zheng Ji, a Pingyang County official. He was sent to his biological father's house for foster care, but was discriminated against by his ex-wife's son. Later, he left his father's house alone and returned to live with his mother. Later, because his sister Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at Princess Pingyang's house, his mother's surname was Wei. Later, Wei Qing worked as a riding slave under Princess Pingyang (an ancient riding boy, a young slave who accompanied nobles on horseback when traveling [1][2]). In the spring of the second year of Jianyuan (139 BC), he entered the palace and became prosperous. His third sister, Wei Zifu, was taken into the palace by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who took advantage of the chance to visit Pingyang Palace. Wei Qing followed him into the palace to "jianzhang camp" (that is, he served as an errand in Jianzhang palace). Her husband was pregnant, which made Empress Chen jealous. Empress Chen's mother, Princess Guantao, sent people to kidnap Wei Qing and attempted to kill him. However, Wei Qing's friend Gongsun Ao led people to rescue him. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very angry when he learned about it and promoted Wei Qing to Jianzhang. Jian (Captain of the Imperial Guard) and the Attendant, appointed his sister Wei Zifu as his wife, and his brother Wei Changjun as the Attendant, and generously rewarded Gongsun Ao and others. In a few days, the reward to Wei Qing reached as much as a thousand gold (" It was heard that Nai Zhaoqing was appointed as the Jian Zhang Supervisor, Shizhong, and his mother-in-law Kun Digui, and was rewarded with thousands of gold in a few days.") At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to appoint his close associates as internal court officials to compete with the Jiuqing nobles. From then on, Wei Qing began to be favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was named Taizhong Dafu [4]. The Wei family also became prominent. Legend has it that when Wei Qing was young, he followed his master to the palace to do business and met him in front of Ganquan Palace. A shackled prisoner looked at his face and said that he was "a noble man, and his official rank was to be a marquis." Wei Qing replied: "It is enough to be a slave without being scolded. How can I be a marquis?" (If you are born as someone else's slave and you are satisfied without being beaten or scolded, how can you get any title?)" Wei Qing had three sons (Wei Qian, Wei Buyi, and Wei Deng), and he was granted the title of General in the fifth year since Wei Qing Yuanshuo. Judging from the "infancy" of the three children, the mother of the three children may not be the same person. Later, she married Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (her ex-husbands were Pingyang Hou Cao Shi and Ruyin Hou Xiahou Po). Princess Pingyang and Wei Qing stayed together for life. Wei Qing was "buried together" (the system of shared burial in the Western Han Dynasty is different from the tomb, and the tomb is about 1,000 meters east of Wei Qing's tomb) [5]. He did not have any children. In the sixth year of Yuanguang (129 BC), the Xiongnu died. The Huns raised their troops and marched south, aiming directly at the Shanggu area (today's Huailai County, Hebei Province). Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 40,000 troops and divided them into four groups. He decisively appointed the fledgling Wei Qing as the general of chariots and cavalry, and together with Li Guang, Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He, he attacked the Xiongnu. Wei Qing arrived at Fucheng, killed 700 enemies and returned. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that the four armies, except Wei Qing's triumphant return, were either defeated or retreated (Li Guang and Gongsun Ao were defeated, and Gongsun He failed to find the enemy to fight). He appreciated him very much and made him the Marquis of Guannei. In the autumn of the first year of Yuanshuo (128 BC), Wei Qing led 30,000 cavalry to attack Yanmen County (Zhishanwu, now Youyu, Shanxi) and killed thousands of Xiongnu. In the spring of the following year (the second year of Yuanshuo, 127 BC), Wei Qing led 30,000 troops to Yunzhong (today's Yuanping City, Shanxi Province), surrounded and annihilated the Xiongnu Aries King and Loufan King, beheaded and captured thousands of Xiongnu, and hundreds of cattle and sheep. In order to regain the Hetao area, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty subsequently immigrated to farmland in the Heshuo area and established Shuofang County. Wei Qing was therefore granted the title of Marquis of Changping, and was granted the title of Marquis of 3,800 households. The Huns were unwilling to fail. After the new Shanyu Yi Zhixie came to the throne, they began to counterattack crazily. Beginning in the summer of the third year of Yuanshuo (126 BC), the Xiongnu first invaded Dai County with tens of thousands of cavalry, killing the prefect and his friends, and plundering more than a thousand people. In the autumn of the same year, he attacked Yanmen again and killed and plundered more than a thousand people. In the fourth year of Yuanshuo (125 BC), another 30,000 cavalry each attacked Daijun, Dingxiang and Shangjun, killing and plundering thousands of people. In particular, King Youxian of the Xiongnu resented the Han Dynasty for taking away the Henan land in his territory and building Shuofang City. He repeatedly attacked the Heshuo area with cavalry, killing and plundering many officials and people.

In order to take a preemptive strike, in the spring of the fifth year of Yuanshuo (124 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing to lead 30,000 cavalry out of Gaoque, and more than 100,000 Han troops from various departments were mobilized to cooperate with his actions. Wei Qing's troops marched six to seven hundred miles out of the fortress and raided King Youxian's troops at night. King Youxian was unable to resist and fled with his concubines and elite soldiers. The Han army captured 15,000 Xiongnu men and women, more than ten nobles, and millions of cattle and sheep. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped him as a general, commanded the entire Han army, and granted him the title of 8,700 marquises. Wei Qing's three infant sons were also granted the title of marquis, but Wei Qing declined and requested to reward his subordinates instead. As a result, eleven of Wei Qing's subordinates were killed and made marquises. In the spring and summer of the sixth year of Yuanshuo (123 BC), Wei Qing led more than 100,000 cavalry to attack Monan twice, wiping out more than 10,000 enemies. However, the 3,000 men under Su Jian and Zhao Xin were wiped out by Shan Yu's main force (Zhao Xin surrendered with 800 followers, and Su Jian escaped alone). The Han army lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. In the early Han Dynasty, martial arts titles were established to raise military expenses. Zhang Qian, the military academy captain, was granted the title of Bowang Hou. Wei Qing's nephew Huo Qubing led 800 cavalry to attack alone in this battle, captured the Xiongnu Chanyu's uncle and the state minister, and killed 2028 people including the enemy's Chanyu's grandfather, making him stand out. In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC) during the decisive battle in Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used 140,000 horses and 500,000 infantry as a logistics supply corps, and granted Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each to lead an army of 50,000 cavalry, infantry and transportation supplies. More than 100,000 troops were divided into two groups and launched a long march across the desert to attack the Huns. The Han army originally planned to have Huo Qubing attack Shan Yu's main force, while Wei Qing would attack King Zuo Xian. Later, it was learned from the captured Huns soldiers that Yi Zhixie was in the east. The two armies reversed their route out of the fortress, with Huo Qubing leaving Daijun in the east and Wei Qing leaving Dingxiang in the west. After Wei Qing left the fortress, he captured Xiongnu prisoners and learned that Shanyu's army was in his direction. The army marched more than a thousand miles from the fortress and encountered the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu. So Wei Qing ordered Wu Gang's chariots to form a circular camp, and ordered five thousand cavalry to gallop to resist the Huns. The Huns also came galloping with about 10,000 cavalry. It happened that the sun was about to set, a strong wind blew, and sand and stones hit people's faces. The two armies could not see each other. The Han army ordered the left and right wings to rush forward and outflank Shan Yu. Chanyu saw that the Han Dynasty had many troops, and the warriors and horses were very powerful. If they fought, it would be detrimental to the Xiongnu. Therefore, in the evening, Chanyu rode a cart pulled by six mules, and together with about several hundred strong cavalry, broke through the encirclement of the Han army and galloped northwest.

Wei Qing (? ~ 105 BC), named Zhongqing, The Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 8 AD) was a native of Pingyang, Hedong (now southwest of Linfen, Shanxi, central and western China). He was the main general who fought against the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing's father, Zheng Ji, was a county official. While working at Princess Pingyang's house, he had an affair with the maid Wei Wei and gave birth to Wei Qing. Later, Wei Qing's half-sister Wei Zifu entered the palace and was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so all seven of their brothers and sisters assumed the surname Wei. After her sister became pregnant, the queen at the time was jealous and sent people to capture Wei Qing and wanted to kill him. Wei Qing was rescued by his friend Gongsun Ao. After hearing about it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Wei Qing and named him the eunuch of the Jianzhang Palace and the title of Shizhong. Later, his sister became the queen, and Wei Qing was promoted to a dazhong doctor. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the policy of making peace with the Xiongnu in the early Western Han Dynasty, and launched a large-scale counterattack against the Xiongnu with the wealth and military strength accumulated during the "Wenjing Rule". Since Wei Qing was banned as a chariot and cavalry general in 129 BC, he led troops to attack the Xiongnu seven times and made great military exploits. Wei Qing led his army to fight against the Xiongnu, and made many military exploits. He gained a total of 16,300 households in the fiefdom. Although he has great military exploits and has power over the government and the opposition, he never forms a party to interfere in political affairs. Unlike Huo Qubing, he was more considerate of the soldiers, could share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and had high prestige. Finally, Wei Qing died of illness in 105 BC.
