From the Western Han Dynasty to the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the country's national strength increased greatly.

In the national defense strategy, the brilliant Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty changed the defensive posture against the Huns and began to fight back. Those who make me strong, though far away, will be punished? Policy. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty boldly used young generals, and Ji An, the minister, once said with emotion:? Your majesty pays for people, and the latecomers come first. ?

Only by turning my back on fame and fortune, facing up to my strong enemy and making unremitting efforts can I command the army to repay your majesty's kindness, and I can't get carried away because of my noble sister status. ?

When Wei Qing heard the reward from Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, he quickly declined. I was lucky enough to win in the Han army with your majesty's great power, which was also the result of the joint efforts of the soldiers. Your majesty has given me a high reward and honor, and added three sons of the vassal to wait for me.
