How did Huo Qubing, a famous Western Han Dynasty, get the title of "General of a title of generals in ancient times"?

So what did he do?

His achievements are mainly in resisting foreign enemies. When Huo Qubing first attacked Huns with his uncle Wei Qing, he led 800 cavalry to behead more than 2,000 Huns. This is Huo Qubing's first military achievement, which makes others sit up and take notice. At this time, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, a young hero.

There is also a passage between the western regions controlled by Xiongnu and the Central Plains of Gansu. He led 10,000 cavalry to circle in Gansu, so that his opponent could not see through himself, and then he fought a decisive battle with a main force of Xiongnu in Rouge Mountain. In this decisive battle, Huo Qubing's troops were much less than those of Xiongnu, but he defeated the other side, which laid the foundation for a comprehensive counterattack against Xiongnu.

Then he took the opportunity to launch the second Hexi campaign, wiped out countless enemies and even captured more than 1000 Xiongnu nobles. The great man completely controlled the Hexi area.

In fact, Huo Qubing's greatest contribution was not the war, but his influence on the later wars. He applied some knowledge of the art of war in the Central Plains to cavalry tactics. The development of cavalry tactics enabled him to attack the Huns continuously, which provided a method for later generations to resist the invasion of grassland nomads. You know, in the past, there was nothing you could do about the Huns, a nomadic people who ran away after the war. Huo Qubing developed this tactic and helped destroy the Huns.

Huo Qubing is a great hero who fought against foreign countries. He can be said to be a legend of a generation. He is a model for future generations. He went to war when he was young, and was later blocked. If he hadn't died young, his achievements would have been even greater.

Huo Qubing used his troops flexibly, paid attention to strategy, adhered to the ancient law, was brave and decisive, and was good at long-distance raids, blitzkrieg, and big circuitous and interspersed operations.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built a beautiful house for Huo Qubing, and invited him to visit it. Huo Qubing said an eternal saying, "The Huns are still alive, and there is no home". In a sense, it is precisely because of Huo Qubing's noble character of forgetting his home for his country that he can achieve remarkable achievements.
