Section 3 The Rise of Liu Qi and the Humiliation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

He vowed to sweep away the Xiongnu regardless of his own safety, and five thousand mink brocades were lost to Hu Chen.

The poor bones by the river are like those in a spring boudoir dream.

After Liu Qi reluctantly bid farewell to his biological daughter with tears in his eyes, he vowed to change this situation. On the one hand, he actively developed experience and accumulated strength, and on the other hand, he began to train and promote a group of generals to garrison at the frontier. The famous Li Guang in history

, Cheng Bushi, Ying Du and others were all promoted and trained at this time, and later became famous generals who will go down in history.

After more than ten years of silence, the monarch and his subjects, Shan Yu, began to feel itchy again, so he led his troops across the Great Wall and began to fight fiercely. Until this time, he was surprised to find that the borders of the Han Dynasty had completely taken on a new look, and a group of very capable warriors had emerged.

army, and a group of famous generals who were intimidating to the Huns.

Yingdu serves as the prefect of Yanmen. As long as the Huns dare to invade Yanmen, they will be attacked head-on by the Yanmen guards. The Huns have always been very afraid of Yingdu, and even after his death they did not dare to invade Yanmen. In order to make a statement

If there is bad energy, one can only use branches to form the shape of Yingdu, and then shoot arrows at random.

Not to mention Li Guang, when the Huns invaded Shangjun, Li Guang led more than 100 cavalrymen to encounter thousands of Huns cavalry. Originally, the Han army turned around and wanted to run away. But Li Guang stopped him. He said that we were far away.

The Huns are so close, even if we want to escape, it will be too late. When the Huns fire all their arrows, we will be killed immediately. We might as well stay, the Huns will definitely think that we are decoys sent by the Han army, so

On the contrary, they dare not attack us.

So, Li Guang led more than 100 people forward and finally stopped when they were less than two miles away from the Huns. Li Guang also ordered his men to unsaddle and dismount their horses to rest, which made the Huns feel confused.

.They thought for a long time and came to the conclusion just as Li Guang expected. They believed that this was a small group of decoys sent by the Han Dynasty, and the real Han Dynasty army was behind.

Li Guang saw that the Huns did not dare to advance, so he felt confident. At this time, a Huns general riding a white horse came out to visit the enemy, and was shot to death by Li Guang with an arrow. When he woke up the next morning, Li Guang found that the Huns

The army took advantage of the darkness to escape.

In addition to training and selecting famous generals, Liu Qi also vigorously developed the horse breeding industry. In a few years, the Han Dynasty's military horses grew to 400,000, which was enough for the Han Dynasty to form a large-scale army.

A huge cavalry force.

Liu Qi attaches great importance to the construction of cavalry. For so many years, the Han Dynasty has been unable to hold its head high in front of the Xiongnu cavalry because there is no Han Dynasty cavalry that can resist the Xiongnu cavalry. Now the Han Dynasty has its own cavalry team, and it also has a very complete cavalry team.

This made the Huns very timid and did not dare to go south at will.

Moreover, within the Xiongnu, many Xiongnu nobles were accustomed to using items from the Han Dynasty. However, the Bank of China said that the implementation of reforms in the Xiongnu would strengthen the national self-esteem of the Huns, so they were not allowed to use these items, which caused many Huns to feel that their lives were

Very depressing.

In 147 BC, a considerable number of the Huns who were dissatisfied with the rule of the military ministers surrendered to the Han Dynasty. This was undoubtedly a favorable signal for the Han Dynasty. Liu Qi endured the humiliation and finally looked forward to this opportunity. Liu Qi brought these surrendered Huns

All the nobles were made princes, allowing them to enjoy the glory and wealth. He did this to show the kindness and generosity of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu nobles, and then hoped that more Huns would defect to the Han Dynasty.

The emperor and his ministers were very angry at the behavior of more and more Xiongnu being sentenced to return to the Han Dynasty, but he could not stop it. In 145 BC, the former King of Yan, Lu Wan, was forced to rebel by Liu Bang and was forced to flee to the Xiongnu.

Sun Tzu Lu Ta led Bu Zhong to join the Han Dynasty again.

In view of the current situation, the military minister re-evaluated the strength of the Han Dynasty. He was surprised to find that the reason for the current situation was because the horse breeding industry of the Han Dynasty had developed, and the Han Dynasty had gained confidence in front of the Huns, because

They established their own complete cavalry force.

The military minister Shanyu decided that he could no longer sit still and wait for death, so he prepared carefully for a year and personally led an army to attack the horse farm in Shangjun in 144 BC. The battle was very fierce. More than 2,000 Han soldiers died, but the Huns

Their goal was not achieved. Soon a large number of reinforcements from the Han Dynasty arrived, and the Huns had to withdraw.

However, Shan Yu, the monarch and his ministers, refused to give up. In 142 BC, he led an army to attack Yanmen County. The governor of Yanmen died in the battle and Yanmen was lost. However, the Huns also paid a heavy and painful price. They could not continue to invade south, so they had to massacre the city to vent their anger.

Then he withdrew.

Although both attacks failed to achieve their strategic goals, the monarch and his ministers, Chanyu, discovered that although the Han army was brave, they were still unable to cross the Great Wall and pursue northward. In other words, the Huns continued to maintain a military advantage over the Han Dynasty. The Huns were born

Cavalry, but the Han Dynasty was a farming nation, and it would take a lot of time to cultivate an excellent cavalry force. Liu Qi could not wait for this day. In 141 BC, Liu Qi died, and his 16-year-old son Liu Che succeeded to the throne.

, this is Emperor Wu of Han, the greatest emperor of the Han Dynasty.

When Liu Che first succeeded to the throne, she continued to implement the policy of peace and marriage. She also sent the 63-year-old Gongsun Hong as an envoy to the Huns. The Huns also decided to use this opportunity to test the attitude of the Han Dynasty monarch who had just ascended the throne towards the Huns.

After Gongsun Hong met with the emperor and his ministers, he first clarified that the emperor who had just succeeded would continue the peace and marriage policy set by the previous emperor, and would continue to send large amounts of property to the Xiongnu, etc. He also suggested that the two sides restart Guanshi trade.

He deliberately made things difficult for Gongsun Hong many times, but with his profound knowledge and elegant demeanor, he resolved the difficulties time and time again.

The monarch and his ministers, Shan Yu, also had their own considerations. The trade in Guan City had been closed in recent years, and the Han Dynasty did not provide money. He wanted to lead his troops to rob it. There was a large army of the Han Dynasty waiting there and he could not get through. So he was also very depressed, especially

It was those Xiongnu nobles who had long been dissatisfied, so the monarch and his ministers, Shanyu, had no choice but to agree to continue the peace with the Han Dynasty.

After Gongsun Hong returned to Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very dissatisfied with his performance among the Huns. Because the current Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still a hot-blooded child, he believed that the dignified Han envoys should not be so humble when they came to the Huns, so he dismissed them.

He took over Gongsun Hong's position.

Liu Che wanted to establish great achievements, and he did not dare to endure the humiliation of the Huns. So while he continued to make peace with the Huns, he secretly trained cavalry. At the same time, Liu Che also actively made friends with various countries in the Western Regions, hoping to divide and disintegrate the relationship between the Huns and the Western Regions.

relation.

At that time, the countries on the southern route of the Tianshan Mountains were also conquered by the Xiongnu, but the Dayuan, Wusun, Dayuezhi and other countries to the west of Congling had not yet become vassal states of the Xiongnu because they were relatively far away from the Xiongnu.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che wanted to win over these countries to fight against the Huns, which would greatly increase the Han Dynasty's chances of winning. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned that the Huns defeated the Yuezhi and made the skull of King Yuezhi into a wine cup. This incident made Liu Che

Seeing an opportunity, he sent young Zhang Qian and 100 followers along the Hexi Corridor to envoy the Yuezhi.

However, to get to the Yuezhi, you have to go through the Xiongnu. Zhang Qian and others were captured by the Huns in the territory of the Xiongnu. When the military minister Shanyu learned of his intention to move forward, he was very angry and imprisoned them and married them.

He married a Hun woman and tried to corrupt and dismantle Zhang Qian.

Even after detaining the envoys of the Han Dynasty, the monarch and his ministers, Shanyu, were still worried. Because he could not guarantee that the Han Dynasty would not send people with other affairs to envoy the Yuezhi again, so he decided to deliberately make things difficult for the Han Dynasty and make a big deal on the marriage issue.

article.

In 135 BC, the monarch Shan Yu sent envoys to urge the Han Dynasty to send the princess to come as soon as possible for the marriage. But at this time Liu Che was only 21 years old, and his biological daughter was not even ten years old. It is obvious that the Xiongnu's approach was to deliberately anger the Han Dynasty.

North Korea, provoking a war.

Liu Che was furious, but he was not blinded by anger. He immediately summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss countermeasures. At this time, some war ministers strongly advocated concentrating their forces to fight a big war with the Xiongnu. At this time, the imperial censor Han Anguo

Two questions were raised. The first question is very realistic. It is that the Han Dynasty and the Huns never agreed to a large-scale war, and Emperor Gaozu encountered the siege of Baideng during his personal expedition. The second question is that the Huns

They are a nomadic people with no fixed place of residence. It is difficult for the Han army to capture their main force after they leave the customs. But the Han people are a settled farming people. If the Huns want revenge, they can attack us at any time. This way we can compare who has suffered more losses.

Needless to say.

The young and energetic Liu Che also knew that he had little chance of winning against the Huns at this time, so he had no choice but to send the young princess over.

Seeing that the Han Dynasty had sent a little princess, the monarch and his ministers, the Shanyu, wanted to further anger the Han Dynasty and used various methods to bully and torture the little princess of the Huns. This was because the monarch and his ministers, the Shanyu, knew that as long as they provoked a war, they could prevent the rise of the Han Dynasty.

This issue is the same as the current Sino-US relations. Liu Che naturally knew that this was a great shame and humiliation, so he secretly vowed in his heart to take revenge.

Short story: Once upon a time, there were two monks who lived in temples on two adjacent mountains. There was a stream between the two mountains, so the two monks would go down the mountain to pick up some food every day.

Over time, they became good friends. Unconsciously, five years had passed since they carried water every day. Suddenly one day, the monk on the mountain on the left did not go down to carry water. The monk on the mountain on the right thought to himself: "He probably

I overslept." He didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the monk on the mountain on the left still didn't go down to fetch water the next day, and the same on the third day. After a week, it was still the same, until a month later, the monk on the mountain on the right didn't go down to fetch water.

The monk finally couldn't stand it anymore. He thought to himself: "My friend may be sick. I want to go over and visit him to see if I can help." So he climbed up the mountain on the left to visit his old friend.

.When he arrived at the temple on the mountain on the left, he was shocked when he saw his old friend, because his old friend was doing Tai Chi in front of the temple, and he didn’t look like someone who hadn’t drank water for a month. He asked curiously

"You haven't gone down the mountain to carry water for a month. Can't you stop drinking water?" The monk on the mountain on the left said, "Come on, come on, I will show you." So he took the one on the right with him.

The monk from the mountain walked to the backyard of the temple, pointed to a well and said: "For the past five years, I have taken time to dig this well after finishing my homework every day. Even if I am very busy sometimes, I can dig as much as I can. Now I finally dug it.

Well water, I no longer have to go down the mountain to fetch water, and I can have more time to practice my favorite Tai Chi."

When you want to succeed, the whole world will make way for you! In the field of work, earning money from work is like carrying water: and we often forget to seize the time after get off work, turn a well of our own, and cultivate ourselves Strength on the other hand, paving an extra road for ourselves. In this way, when we get older in the future, even if our physical strength is not as good as that of young people, we will still have water to drink, and we can still drink it leisurely and continuously.

There are two classmates, Xiaojiang and Xiaodai, who are studying human resources. They sit at adjacent desks and do almost the same thing every day. Over time, they have become very good friends.

In a blink of an eye, without realizing it, time was studying, and three years passed in a blink of an eye. After graduation, one day, Xiaojiang heard that Xiaodai was working in HR in a well-known company, and faced obstacles in finding a job.

, Xiaodai’s situation puzzled Xiao Jiang. He thought to himself, Xiaodai must be because there are people in the family who have status and connections. Otherwise, how could he find such a good job so quickly? So,

I just wanted to ask Xiaodai in person.

When Xiaodai opened the door, Xiaojiang saw that Xiaodai was editing something on a website. He looked at it curiously. It turned out that Xiaodai was replying to netizens' posts on Zhongren.com. Xiaodai pointed to the website on the computer and said:

"In the past three years, after finishing my schoolwork every day, I would take the time to read and study on Zhongren Online. Although we are studying this major now, the competition in today's society is so fierce, especially for our young people who have just graduated from school.

Students can only gain a foothold in society by constantly enriching themselves. I learned a lot of useful knowledge from here, so even if I am sometimes very busy, I have never interrupted my study plan. Now, I can finally find myself quickly.

It’s the ideal company in my heart, and I’m doing the work I love.”
