In the face of Huo Qubing's dominating feat, his uncle Wei Qing was badly hurt by the war and was not treated as a beneficiary. Wei Qing battle damage, Zhao Xin defect is a heart disease of the Han army. Wei Qing led six generals, including Li Guang and Zhao Xin, to the frontier. Some of these generals followed Wei Qing's old men many times. They may not all have the ability to be independent, but at least they are loyal and reliable officials. As for Li Guang, a flying doctor, I don't need to say much, because this old man, who used to be a satrap in seven counties on the border, said that he was loyal, upright, riding and shooting, and even the Huns admired him. What Wei Qing didn't expect was the Xiongnu's loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Zhao Xin was originally Xiao Wang of the Huns, and some people said it was Guo Xiang of the Huns, but Guo Xiang in the Xiongnu camp was not as noble as Xiao He and Cao Can in the early Han Dynasty. But this can at least show that Zhao Xin is by no means incompetent. During his years as a general in the Han Dynasty, he will naturally bring his riding and shooting skills and tracking ability in the Xiongnu to Chinese athletes. By the same token, now that Zhao Xin has returned to Xiongnu, with his eight hundred knights accompanying him, the training, equipment, rations and military information of the Han army will be obtained by Xiongnu.
Speaking of the treatment of Huns in the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid this will make General Li Guang unhappy. As early as the reign of Emperor Jingdi, the Huns surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Jingdi conferred a title on those who surrendered. Zhou Yafu was a famous courtier in Li Guang during the rebellion between the Seven Kingdoms and Wu Chu, and he held a negative attitude towards King Jing's actions. Hou Zhou Yafu believes that in the Han Dynasty, people were rewarded with inducements. Isn't this the same as asking subordinates to be cynical? Zhou Yafu's suggestion was quickly rejected by Jingdi, and even the hero was finally forced to death by Jingdi. Therefore, the measures to reward the Huns for surrendering were successfully extended to the period of Emperor Wu. For example, Zhiyi's nephew, Dan Yu's nephew, was blocked after the demise of the Han Dynasty. Only a few months later, the prince died in China, and from the historical data, there is no limited evidence that the single prince died abnormally.
Whether the Huns are loyal or not depends not only on their mother tongue and blood. The early death of a noble with such a high reputation as Prince Khan may be another relief for him. Zhao Xin's outstanding military talents made him a general in the Han Dynasty. For soldiers, Zhao Xin joined the ranks, which, after all, can effectively improve the training level of Chinese knights. However, compared with Khan and the Xiongnu nobles who later became Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was not his only retreat. In fact, this is also part of the cunning bet of the military aristocrats, that is, the imperial power cannot be fully trusted. More than 700 years later, Li Ji, an expert in the early Tang Dynasty, also kept his own blood for the hostile Tubo side. It was not until the middle of Tang Dezong that the descendants of Li Ji were driven away because of the invasion of Datang.
After Zhao Xin joined the Huns, Xie Chanyu was very fond of him. He not only became the second king, but also married his sister to Zhao Xin. Yi Zhixie is not a foolhardy man. He can expel a prince and become the supreme ruler of Xiongnu. Yi Zhixie's strategy is good. While planning to fight against Korea, he and Zhao Xin followed suit and ordered Zhao Xin to build a strong fortress-Zhao Xincheng. Zhao Xin provided a feasible Han Dynasty strategy for supporting Khan, that is, asking Xiongnu to withdraw from Mobei and leaving a clearing between Xiongnu and Han Dynasty. Although the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was good at attacking, it was a temporary team sent in wartime after all. As for the migration habit of living on aquatic plants, I am afraid it will not adapt to the Huns. Therefore, the longer the Huns pull the retreat front, the more they can consume the long-distance March offensive of the Han army. When the Han army patrols or attacks, Xiongnu knights only need to concentrate their superior forces and attack their weak parts, so they can succeed. This strategy of accumulating small victories for great victories is undoubtedly a rational way of playing for the Xiongnu whose national strength is not enough to compete with the Han Dynasty. As long as the Huns didn't take the initiative to commit traffic jams, it was not so easy for the Han Dynasty to get the Huns' movements. At the same time, the Huns did not let go of the old repression, such as Shanggu County, which was often invaded by the Huns, and the Huns would wait for an opportunity to invade and plunder people and animals.
However, people are not as good as heaven. The birth of Huo Qubing made most of Zhao Xin's plans fail. The Han Empire, which experienced the rest of its life, had a strong national strength and mobilization ability, which exceeded the limited knowledge that Zhao Xin gained in the Han Dynasty. Especially in the later decisive battle in Mobei, the amazing logistics ability of the Han Dynasty became the last straw to overwhelm the camel.
