Chapter 186

Chen Feng was stunned on the spot: "This... just digging up a stone carving is a national treasure?"

He was a bit incredulous, but had to believe it, because the one who said this was Xiang Fangyang.

As for the few people next to him, they were even more confused.

This is a national treasure? Easily dug up a national treasure?

Xiang Fangyang looked at their doubtful eyes, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you understand the history of this stone carving, then you will understand that saying it is a national treasure is not an exaggeration at all! Its value is not in its material, but in the legendary story it tells people!"

Chen Feng nodded: "I know something about Huo Qubing, he is indeed a young hero!"

Zhou Guang also nodded: "This person on TV is a young man, but he seems quite powerful!"

Xiang Fangyang shook his head: "Can only say that you know too little about him. Let me tell you his story, perhaps you will understand the value of this stone carving!"

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears to listen, after all, it concerns a national treasure, everyone is very interested.

"If Qin Shi Huang laid the foundation of China's territory, then Huo Qubing almost opened up the Hexi corridor by his own strength, expanding China's territory to the further Western Regions. This kind of world-shaking achievement, compared to the humiliation suffered by previous generations of Han people, is especially not easy!"

"The earliest Han Gaozu Liu Bang, in just a few years, successively wiped out the Qin State and Xiang Yu, unifying the world. Facing the harassment of the Xiongnu, he was very confident, thinking, isn't it just the Xiongnu, just fight them!"

"Then he personally led an army of 300,000 to the north, but was surrounded for seven days and seven nights at Baideng Mountain in Datong, almost starving to death."

"Finally, he escaped by bribing the concubine of the Xiongnu Chanyu."

"From then on, he never dared to fight the Xiongnu head-on, and started the route of marriage alliance, giving the Xiongnu a large amount of gold, silver, and beauties every year."

Everyone listened in a daze!

It turns out there is such a piece of history.

According to this, if the bribery hadn't been successful back then, maybe Liu Bang would have died there.

And never thought that the Han Dynasty at that time was beaten so miserably by the Xiongnu.

Xiang Fangyang looked at their expressions and said lightly: "After Liu Bang passed away and Lu Hou was in power, the Xiongnu Chanyu even wrote a letter to Lu Hou, openly harassing her, meaning roughly that your husband is dead. I am also alone, so why don't you just marry me."

"Facing such humiliation, the strong Lu Hou could only choose to respond with a smiling face, using self-blackening to decline the other party!"

Chen Feng frowned: "Is that battle really that miserable? Scared to this extent!"

Everyone also felt incredible. They had never heard of this kind of wild history, and TV dramas didn't dare to film it!

Xiang Fangyang ignored it and continued: "But even so, it still couldn't bring peace. At the most dangerous time of Emperor Wen of Han, the Xiongnu went south to Guanzhong, directly hitting the side of Ganquan Palace, burning, killing, and looting before leaving. The 100,000 troops in Chang'an City could only watch helplessly. They didn't dare to take the initiative to attack at all!"

Hiss~~

Everyone was moved, never thought that their ancestors had to deal with such humiliation back then.

"After Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, the young Son of Heaven was ambitious, how could he endure such humiliation, but if he really wanted to take the initiative to start a war, he still had no bottom in his heart!"

"So he sent Zhang Qian to the west to contact the Xiongnu's other deadly enemy, the Dayuezhi, planning a pincer attack from both sides."

"It was under this situation that Huo Qubing descended from heaven. He was an illegitimate child, born in poverty, but his fate was very good. One year after he was born, his aunt married the emperor, and his family became rich along with them."

"He was good at archery since he was a child. Emperor Wu of Han liked him very much, not only let him be his close minister, but also personally taught him military strategy!"

"But he said, 'Just look at the strategy, why learn ancient military strategy', meaning that fighting, just look at how the strategy is good, I don't need to learn ancient military strategy. Many people said why he was so unhumble. As the saying goes, those who are young and frivolous must be geniuses."

At this time, even the comments in the live broadcast room were much quieter.

Everyone was patiently listening to Xiang Fangyang tell the story.

Every Chinese person, hearing that their ancestors had such a humiliating experience, would find it difficult to resonate.

And at this time, the hero who suddenly stood up would be deeply imprinted in their hearts.

Xiang Fangyang thought for a while and spoke again: "At eighteen, he followed his uncle Wei Qing to recover the Hetao area, pestering his uncle for 800 cavalry, raiding the Xiongnu camp hundreds of miles away at night. Originally his uncle thought he was joking, after all, he was only eighteen, and only had 800 cavalry!"

"As a result, he really ran hundreds of miles at night and directly ended the Xiongnu's old nest, capturing the Xiongnu King's grandfather and uncle, using 800 people to do what the other side had tens of thousands of people for. Just beheading alone was 2028 people!!! He became famous in one battle, and was later named Champion Marquis by Emperor Wu of Han, brave enough to be the champion of the three armies!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Eighteen years old, 800 people, ended tens of thousands of people on the other side.

What kind of concept is this? If it weren't for the fact that this person really existed in history, they would think it was a joke.

Even his uncle thought he was joking! But who would have thought he could do such a heaven-defying act!

You must know that in this day and age, eighteen-year-olds are still in high school!

Comparing the two, it makes Huo Qubing's power even more amazing, simply heaven-defying!

"From then on, everyone knew that there was an eighteen-year-old little marquis in the Central Plains who was good at using surprise troops, named Huo Qubing!"

"Two years later, he was named General of the Cavalry, led troops to march into Hexi, and directed two battles in spring and summer."

"The first time, he led more than 10,000 elite cavalry, first breaking the Xiutu King City in one fell swoop, and then breaking five Xiongnu tribes in six days, beating the Xiongnu so that they were terrified when they saw the 'Huo' flag on their own territory!"

Chen Feng couldn't help but gasp.

The more humiliating it was before, the more exciting it was now. As a man, he couldn't help but want to shed tears, not moved but excited.

Proud to have such a general in China!

Netizens didn't need to say more, a breath of evil in their chests seemed to be spit out, incomparably refreshing.

Xiang Fangyang looked at their expressions and smiled: "This is not over yet, the second time was even more dangerous. At that time, it was arranged for him and Gongsun Ao to meet and surround the Xiongnu, but Gongsun Ao actually got lost and didn't arrive at the destination at the specified time."

"Huo Qubing was heroic and bold, didn't choose to retreat or wait in place, but directly went deep alone, went deep into the Xiongnu territory for more than 2,000 kilometers, launched an attack from the side of the north, and directly killed crazy at that time!"

"At the cost of 3,000 casualties, he wiped out 30,000 enemies!! Captured 5 Xiongnu kings! More than 2,500 officials! More than 120 nobles!"

"Forced the Xiongnu Hunxie King to surrender, completely recovered the Hexi Corridor, and opened up the channel between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty!!"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1.

——【Holy crap! This story makes me feel hot-blooded. I really want to go back to that era and see with my own eyes how he led troops to kill into the Xiongnu territory. Having such a general in China is really the pride of all us Chinese people. Why didn't TV dramas film him before? Is it because he died early and there was no play to film!】

——【This is not a story! This is a real historical event. Without Huo Qubing, the Han Dynasty might have perished long ago. That era was scared by the Xiongnu. I can only say that Qin Shi Huang was too benevolent back then. If he had been ruthless, the ones who should be killed would be killed, and it wouldn't have been so easy to be overthrown. With the military power of the Qin State at that time, he wouldn't be afraid of the Xiongnu at all! Beat him so he wouldn't return!】

——【This is the first time I have learned about Huo Qubing in such detail. I have only heard his name, but I don't know his deeds very well. Eighteen years old, when I was eighteen, I was still worried about being able to go to an internet cafe to play games, but people were already so awesome. I am not jealous of him at all, on the contrary, I am proud because he is also Chinese.】

"Two years later, Emperor Wu of Han wanted to have a head-on battle with the Xiongnu, so he sent Huo Qubing and Wei Qing to raise troops to Mobei. I think you may have heard of it, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf and lived in Xu in this battle, but you may not know that he fought over when he had no food, no reinforcements, and no supplies!!"

"The territory of our China has been vast since ancient times, which has a long-standing problem that is difficult to solve: the border is too far, the battle line is too long, the vehicles and horses are slow, and the food supply is difficult to keep up, so there is a saying that 'soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first'!"

"But as the saying goes, 'soldiers value speed', especially generals like Huo Qubing who are good at lightning insertion tactics, the turtle speed of the army will only affect the speed of his drawing his sword!"

"So he found a group of talents with excellent qualities in all aspects, and even boldly enabled a group of Xiongnu people!"

"Formed an elite force, and then abandoned food and supplies, and led the troops to go deep alone!"

Chen Feng was stunned: "No food? Then what do they eat?"

Others were also very confused!

Xiang Fangyang smiled: "That's naturally robbing! They have no food, but the Xiongnu have it. Relying on the food robbed, they ran thousands of miles, he wiped out the main force of the Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang, and pursued the victory to go deep into Wolf Juxu Mountain!!"

"Then chased to today's Baikal Lake of Russia, wiped out 70,000 enemy troops! Captured 83 Xiongnu officials and nobles!! Sealed Wolf Juxu, Chanyu Guyan, drank horse Han Sea, west regulated the Dahe, listed the counties of Qilian!!"

"He led the Han army troops, directly killed to the Xiongnu's sacrificial holy land, Wolf Juxu Mountain and Guyan Mountain, and held a sacrificial ceremony to heaven!! Then included the Dahe into the Han territory!! Listed Qilian Mountain as a county of the Han Dynasty!!"

"What kind of concept of victory is this!! It's like planting a red flag on the Capitol Hill of the Eagle Sauce today!!"

"Young general, fresh clothes and angry horses, heroic and spirited, fighting on the battlefield, high-spirited!"

"From then on, the Xiongnu fled far away, there was no royal court in the south of the desert, completing the highest ideal that later generals pursued all their lives. The Han Dynasty waited for hundreds of years for this battle, and finally washed away the shame. When the good news came, the whole country was overjoyed."

Chen Feng and others were breathing rapidly at this time, and a cavity of hot blood was about to gush out.

So young, yet with such great achievements!

Saying he is China's first war god is not an exaggeration!

His deeds sound like they are fake, because they are too exaggerated, and normal people can't imagine them at all.

Not to mention them, even the Xiongnu back then didn't expect it.

The Han Dynasty, which was originally bullied at will, was beaten by a young man so that they fled in a hurry.

Xiang Fangyang's mood was the same. He was about the same age as Huo Qubing, but he thought he was too far behind, out of reach.

The existence of such a person in this world is simply like an immortal descending to save the Han Dynasty.

After sighing, Xiang Fangyang continued.

"But it's a pity that at 23, Huo Qubing died of an epidemic. The whole country mourned, and the people who sent him to the funeral lined up from Chang'an City to Maoling, 50 kilometers away."

"Emperor Wu of Han specially sealed his tomb into the shape of Qilian Mountain, and for the first time in history, erected tall stone statues in front of his tomb."

"Among them, this horse stepping on a Xiongnu was carved by the soldiers who followed him back then. A steady and calm war horse, stepping on a bearded Xiongnu who was lying on his back and struggling to death, full of conflict and conquest."

"This kind of erecting stone statues in front of the tomb to express faith and worship totem has always been a tradition in the grassland areas, so the soldiers back then specially used the opponent's worship method to carve the horse stepping on a Xiongnu for the nemesis of the Xiongnu. It is a typical killing and punishing heart, not only to conquer you physically, but also to strike and ravage you spiritually."

"Huo Qubing is like a meteor, short and dazzling, leaving a sentence for later generations: 'The Xiongnu are not destroyed, how can I have a home'. So today we see this stone carving, as if we see the young hero who came and went like the wind on horseback more than 2,000 years ago,"

"Many people say that if Huo Qubing hadn't died young, perhaps the entire Asia-Europe map wouldn't be like this today."

Xiang Fangyang stood there and talked for a full half hour.

During these half an hour, everyone stood in place and almost didn't move.
