1. is the cultivation and utilization of national strength. From Gaozu to Jingdi, the long-term accumulation and enrichment of the national treasury in the Han Dynasty was one of the prerequisites for Liang Wudi to become a pro-war. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he changed the previous compromise policy of forbearance and peace, gave up "intimacy" and took tough offensive operations to completely eliminate the intrusion of Xiongnu. After more than a dozen battles with Xiongnu, the threat of Xiongnu was basically solved. In the Han Dynasty, the Hetao area occupied by Xiongnu was recovered, and the Great Wall was built on official land in the border area. The number of troops stationed reached 65,438+10,000. The frontier presents a scene of peace and prosperity.
2. It is the establishment and persistent implementation of the strategic thought of active attack. After the establishment of the Han dynasty, it has been facing the military threat of the tough Xiongnu. Although the policy of "affinity" was implemented from the early Han Dynasty, numerous 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. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he changed the previous compromise policy of forbearance and peace, gave up "intimacy" and took tough offensive operations to completely eliminate the intrusion of Xiongnu.
3. It is the correct application and play of tactical large-scale corps raid operations;
1) Construction and use of cavalry. 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, rapid maneuvering and long-distance surprise attack are one of the main reasons why the Han army defeated the Xiongnu in the early stage. The development of cavalry in Han dynasty can be roughly divided into several stages, with Emperor Wudi 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.
2) It is the application of surprise attack 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, his troops and horses gave up supplies, traveled light and fast, had dinner on the spot, and quickly launched the main decisive battle when the Huns were unstable. Completely annihilated in one fell swoop and cut off the right arm of Xiongnu. 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. The Huns' economy suffered so much that the Han Dynasty established its absolute superiority over the Huns in economy and military affairs.
Xiongnu was a nightmare in ancient China during the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, after the three wars of Monan, Hexi and Mobei, the suffering of Xiongnu finally basically disappeared from the history of China. This time, the Han Dynasty pushed northward to the edge of the desert, occupied the whole Hexi Corridor and parts of Qinghai and Xinjiang, and established the Western Regions' Capital Protection House. For the first time, the living space of the Han people was expanded on a large scale, and almost all the marginal base areas of Xiongnu and Hunan were seized.
Later generations' admiration and love complex for General Huo Qubing is not only the nostalgia and sorrow for this young hero, but also the admiration and yearning for the martial spirit. Therefore, the battle fought by Huo Qubing is the most thrilling one in the history of the Han national war. His victory is not only the complete victory of several foreign wars, but also a monument of spiritual symbol. The whole Han nationality is proud of it and inspires generations of Han sons and daughters. His sentence "Why stay at home when the Huns are still alive!" Bold words make countless temperament men more excited. Because of this, Huo Qubing became the idol of ancient literati and generals, and people competed to praise, admire and love him, which lasted for thousands of years.
