Huo Qubing was born in the first year of Jianyuan.
His mother, Wei Shao'er, was a slave girl from Princess Pingyang's family, and she was a child born privately to Wei Shao'er and Huo Zhongru.
Huo Zhongru did not dare to reveal his affair with a slave girl from Princess Pingyang's family, so Huo Qubing was an illegitimate child from birth.
Later Wei Shaoer took Huo Qubing to marry Chen Zhang.
Although Huo Qubing was an illegitimate son, Chen Zhang liked him very much, and Huo Qubing later followed Chen Zhang in Chang'an.
"Hello, everyone, my name is Huo Qubing." The young Huo Qubing introduced himself standing next to the teacher.
Huo Qubing has been introverted since he was a child and has always been reluctant to give birth. When he saw so many children about his own age, he naturally felt a little nervous.
"Qubing, you go and sit next to Xiaolian." The teacher is a very serious man in his fifties.
All the students here are either rich or noble, but even so, they don't dare to make trouble because this old gentleman has taught the prince.
Huo Qubing felt a little timid and walked up to a little girl. This little girl was only over seven years old and had two beautiful dimples on her face. When Huo Qubing sat down, Xiaolian asked: "Why are you called Huo Qubing? Is it because you were sick when you were a child?"
a lot of?"
"Don't be shy, we won't bully you."
"Huo Qubing, yesterday we went to Dr. Liu Zhongling's house and stole some delicious food. We will eat together later."
Huo Qubing gradually became familiar with Xiaolian. In this class, almost all the children were the children of Chang'an officials. They were all very bold. Except for the royal family, they did not dare to steal anything. All the food in other officials' homes was stolen by them.
Someone stole it.
Soon time passed little by little, and Huo Qubing gradually fell in love with Xiaolian.
This kind of love is very pure, Xiaolian has a cheerful personality, and he enjoys spending time with Xiaolian.
"Master, I got angry again yesterday. Why did you beat the teacher?" An old housekeeper followed the fifteen-year-old Huo Qubing with a sad look on his face.
"Then Mr. teaches boring things all day long, and talks about how hateful the Huns are. If you really want to hate the Huns, go to the battlefield and fight with them, then you will nag us." Huo Qubing disagreed.
"Okay, Uncle Chen, Xiaolian and I have made an appointment to go out for an outing in the countryside today. Please prepare the carriage." Huo Qubing remembered the appointment he had made with Xiaolian today and quickly gave instructions.
"Hey." Uncle Chen nodded and prepared a carriage.
Huo Qubing arrived at the door of Xiaolian's mansion in a carriage. The official position of Xiaolian's father was not much different from that of Huo Qubing's stepfather Chen Zhang. As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiaolian ran out wearing a white robe.
"You brought so much food, can we finish it?" Huo Qubing looked at the large pile of food brought by Xiaolian next to him and sighed.
Xiaolian said with a smile: "Isn't there still you? Who told you that you can eat so well?"
Huo Qubing shook his head and sighed. It was not that he could eat it, but that Huo Qubing would usually eat all the food Xiaolian brought. So Xiaolian thought that Huo Qubing could eat it, so she brought more food each time.
When they arrived at the outskirts and found the river, Huo Qubing ordered his servants to go and do some work. He and Xiaolian sat by the river and watched the small fish swimming in the water.
"Qubing, you are already fifteen years old, do you want to join the army in the future?" Xiaolian asked Huo Qubing curiously.
Huo Qubing shook his head: "No, I will go out with you every day in Chang'an for outings. From now on, just let my father find an ordinary official position. It's too hard in the army and I can't bear it."
"That's right, you've been sick a lot since childhood." Xiaolian nodded in agreement.
"Who said I'm sick a lot? I'm in good health."
"Then why do you call me Qu Bing?"
"My mother likes it," Huo Qubing said dissatisfied.
Xiaolian clasped her hands on her chest: "To be honest, I actually hope you can join the army. As long as you become a general, you will be able to propose marriage to any girl you like in the future."
"Can the marriage proposal be successful at your house?" Huo Qubing asked with a smile.
"Who wants to marry you, idiot." Xiaolian glared at Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing lay down on the grass. He didn't want to join the army because he couldn't bear to live in peace. He enjoyed this rare peace.
If Huo Qubing's idea is followed, he can go to Xiaolian's house to propose marriage after a while.
Xiaolian's parents and Huo Qubing's parents are very optimistic about their affairs. They are childhood sweethearts, and both parties are in good condition, so they can be considered a good match.
But fate is a strange thing. When Huo Qubing turned sixteen, he asked his father to prepare a betrothal gift and wanted to go to Xiaolian's house to propose marriage.
As a result, bad news came: a total of forty-six members of Xiaolian's family were all killed overnight.
That night, the whole of Chang'an was shocked. Xiaolian's father, whose official position was Zuo Tingwei, was actually killed overnight.
When Huo Qubing learned the news, he was happily preparing a betrothal gift. After learning the news, he was stunned.
Later, someone sent a letter to Huo Qubing. Xiaolian was hiding in a secret passage before her death. She wrote such a letter while in this secret passage, and was eventually found and killed.
This letter was written to Huo Qubing, so he sent it to Huo Qubing.
"Idiot, I'm so scared. Will I die? The Huns killed my father. If I die, you must remember to avenge me."
After Huo Qubing read this letter, he locked himself in the house for three days without eating anything. His family was very worried. Finally, Huo Qubing came out. The eyes of the young boy who yearned for peace showed a rare tenacity.
In the next three years, some people proposed marriage to Huo Qubing, but Huo Qubing refused all of them. For three years, he locked himself in a house and studied the art of war.
At the age of nineteen, this young man finally went on an expedition with his uncle Wei Qing.
In 2 BC, Wei Qing led an army of 50,000 troops to attack in five groups, with 10,000 men in each group, to fight against the Huns. 19-year-old Huo Qubing asked Wei Qing to fight.
Wei Qing thought that Huo Qubing was young and his nephew, so he asked Huo Qubing to lead 800 men to guard the area near the Chinese army's battle. But Huo Qubing did not. He led 800 men to quickly attack and penetrated into the hinterland of the Xiongnu. Later, the main five armies were
They returned in a disastrous defeat. Only Huo Qubing beheaded more than 2,000 people, captured the Xiongnu Prime Minister and Danghu, and killed Ruohou Chan and Ji's father, who were the same generation as the Xiongnu Chanyu's grandfather.
In the spring of 21 BC, Huo Qubing was appointed as a hussar general and led 10,000 elite troops to attack the Xiongnu alone. This was the Hexi War in history books.
The 19-year-old commander-in-chief Huo Qubing lived up to expectations. He rushed across the desert thousands of miles away and fought a beautiful roundabout battle.
In six days, Huo Qubing fought against the five Xiongnu tribes, advancing all the way, and fought a head-to-head life-and-death battle with the Xiongnu King Luhou and King Zhelan in Gaolan Mountain. In this battle, Huo Qubing suffered a tragic victory, and only three of his 10,000 elite soldiers remained.
Thousands of people. The Xiongnu suffered heavy losses. King Luhou and King Zhelan were killed in the battle. Prince Hunxie, the Prime Minister, and the captain were captured, and they killed 8,960 enemies.
Everyone has forgotten the troublemaker Huo Qubing in Chang'an. He became a military model in the Han army and the embodiment of the martial spirit.
