[First Emperor, No Emperor Wu of Han]: Why are there so many Emperor Wu fanboys? Defeating the Xiongnu was entirely down to the Twin Jewels of the Empire and Wei Qing. First they attacked the Southern Desert, then Hexi, then the Northern Desert. With Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji around, even I could have done it. What did any of that have to do with Emperor Wu of Han?
"Of those who marched beyond the frontier, three in ten perished; of the horses, one in ten never returned. High-ranking marquises, generals, and commandants were beyond counting."
The Han Army suffered heavy losses, and Emperor Wu of Han never wiped out the Xiongnu. They were still entrenched in the Northern Desert.
By contrast, the First Emperor's results against the Xiongnu were clear: "He drove the Xiongnu back more than seven hundred li, and the Hu people dared not come south to pasture their horses."
One fought for ten years, the other for just one. I don't understand why Emperor Wu of Han gets ranked alongside Qin Shi Huang.
