Huo Qubing

In the sixth year of Yuanshuo (123 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the 17-year-old Huo Qubing was appointed as the captain of Piao Yao. He accompanied his uncle Wei Qing on an expedition to Monan and defeated the Xiongnu. In the next two years, Huo Qubing led his troops on two expeditions, defeated the Xiongnu and occupied the Hexi area. From then on, the western border of the Han Dynasty was stable and trouble-free. When he was twenty-two years old, Huo Qubing led his army northward for more than two thousand miles, deep into Mobei, looking for and annihilating the main force of the Xiongnu, and pushed his troops to the vast sea. After this battle, "the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in Monan." But two years later, this most dazzling star in the history of Chinese generals passed away at the age of only 24. Huo Qubing was a famous young general in ancient Chinese history and a legendary military general in the hearts of the Chinese people. His story has been passed down by people. Almost every Chinese has heard of his military exploits, but few know about his short but splendid life. This book relies on historical books and reproduces the legendary and glorious life of this heroic young general in the form of a novel, leading readers back to the war era and once again experiencing Huo Qubing's generosity and heroism of "not breaking the Huns' vow not to return them."
