Chapter 5 The Huns struggled to survive

Section 1: Uwe’s proposal and his son Chanyu’s joke

Everyone is said to be good at chess, but I am not the only one who can't. Try to sit back and watch the victory or defeat, how can it be clear between white and black? The wisdom and deceit are strange and deceitful, and the intention is dangerous. Sorry, I am so tired of working. I have a million cavalry and iron armor. Xiangmo Ming. He took Yuan Haotou from the west and presented it to the Emperor's Court. He entered the Xiongnu territory from the north, and King Fu Rong went south. He crossed the Canghai Sea in the east and shot through the city of Gaoli. He moved toward the Jiaozhi Kingdom in the south, and the barbarians welcomed him. All the barbarian ministers in the west, Return to declare peace. Who can rely on Wenjuan, the two of them fight all day long.

Liu Che saw that Uwe Chanyu continued to stir up trouble in the Western Regions, so he wanted to attack him. In 110 BC, Liu Che personally led an army of 180,000 to patrol the border fortress with the clear purpose of showing his armed threat to the Xiongnu.

Uwei Shanyu was very angry. This was the first time since his stepsister that he wanted to compete with the Han Dynasty. He was unwilling to accept the failure of Yi Zhixie and the military minister Shanyu. But now he knew that the Xiongnu did not have the strength to compete with the Han Dynasty. To compete with him, he had no choice but to avoid the edge for the time being.

At this time, Liu Che sent an envoy to the Xiongnu Chanyu. The envoy Guo Ji met Uwe Chanyu. As soon as they met, Guo Ji told Uwe Chanyu that the rebellion had caused great harm to the king of Nanyue. Under the sect, if you feel that you dare to compete with the Han Dynasty, then send your troops to the frontier to fight. Our emperor is waiting there. If you don’t dare, then quickly surrender to the Han Dynasty, so you don’t have to huddle in the desert. The bitter cold land of the north.

Uwe Shanyu was completely angered, and he detained the envoy. But he was angry because he was very aware of the current power of the Huns. The current combat effectiveness of the Huns army could not compete with the powerful Han army, so he had to order not to arrive for the time being. He went to the border of the Han Dynasty to cause trouble. On the other hand, he actively encouraged the people to recuperate and recuperate, and also sent envoys to Chang'an to request peace.

Although the Han Dynasty had achieved major victories against the Xiongnu for many years, years of war had also placed a huge burden on the domestic economy, so Liu Che also wanted to end this situation.

However, Liu Che could not fully believe in the sincerity of Uwe Chanyu, so in 107 BC, Liu Che sent envoys to the Huns again, on the one hand to test the sincerity of the Huns' proposal, and on the other hand to find a way to rescue the envoys who had been detained by the Huns. .

The messenger Wang Wu blackened his face with ink according to the rules set by the Bank of China, and then put aside the Han Dynasty talisman before entering the court of the Xiongnu Chanyu to meet Uwei Chanyu. Uwei Chanyu and Wang Wu drank wine Yan Huan, during the drinking process, Uwe Shanyu expressed his intention to send the prince to Chang'an to be a hostage, in order to show the sincerity of the Xiongnu's request for marriage.

Wang Wu told Liu Che exactly what Uwe Shanyu said after returning to the Han Dynasty. Liu Che was very happy after hearing this, and he sent another envoy to the Xiongnu to discuss the surrender.

This envoy had a rather stubborn character. He did not act in accordance with the rules and customs of the Huns. When he arrived at the Xiongnu Chan Yuting, he even said that I was the scepter of the Han Dynasty, and he did not blacken his face with ink. The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally Uwedan Yu made a concession and took the initiative to go out to meet Yang Xin.

Yang Xin did not say any polite words, but went straight to the point, asking the Xiongnu Chanyu to fulfill his previous promise and send the prince to Chang'an as a hostage. Uwe Chanyu regretted it at this time, saying that it seemed that this was not the case according to the previous rules. Right. Isn't it fashionable to send the princess to marry you first, and then give a generous dowry? Only then can we Han and Hungary coexist peacefully, and can we guarantee not to send troops to invade the border of the Han Dynasty. Now you actually asked me to send the prince to Chang'an to do it Hostage, this is obviously not in compliance with the regulations of both parties.

Yang Xin was very angry and told Liu Che what Uwe Chanyu said after he returned. Liu Che was even more furious after hearing this. He immediately called Wang Wu, the envoy he sent last time, to inquire in person. Wang Wu decided to send an envoy to the Huns again.

, clarify this matter.

Wang Wu came to the Mobei grassland again and was warmly received by Uwe Shanyu. Uwe Shanyu used his personality to guarantee in front of Wang Wu that everything he had promised before would be fulfilled. Soon after, he

He personally went to Chang'an to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty. From then on, the two countries lived in harmony and did not invade each other.

After Wang Wu returned, he told Liu Che about the incident again. Wang Wu also said that the reason why Wu Wei Shanyu went back on his word this time was probably because Yang Xin was rude to others and made them angry.

Liu Che believed the sincerity of the Huns this time, and began to discuss with the ministers a series of etiquette issues for receiving the Xiongnu Chanyu. Liu Che ordered the construction of a luxurious palace for Uwe Chanyu in Chang'an.

In fact, Uwe Chanyu had never thought of coming to Chang'an at all. He said that last time just to delay and buy time for the Xiongnu to recuperate and train the army. At the same time, he also wanted to deliberately anger Liu Che.

When Uwe Chanyu saw that the Han Dynasty was ready to receive him, he could not refuse him outright. So he first sent a Hun nobleman as an envoy to the Han Dynasty. On the one hand, he sent greetings to the Han Dynasty emperor on his behalf, and on the other hand, he

How about going to see for yourself the palace built for him by the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, this Xiongnu nobleman was already sick, so he fell ill not long after arriving in Chang'an. Although he tried his best to save him, he still could not be revived. Liu Che sent someone to take his coffin.

He was sent back to Mobei, bringing with him a large amount of belongings.

Uwe Chanyu took this opportunity and insisted that the Han Dynasty had killed the Xiongnu nobles, and wanted to make a fuss about this matter.

Uwe Chanyu began to send out small groups of troops to harass the Han Dynasty border again, and also assumed a posture of being irreconcilable with the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che finally understood that he was being tricked by Uwe Shanyu of the Huns, and Liu Che was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately made military arrangements and asked Guo Chang and Zhao Ponu to lead troops to station in Shuofang. At the same time, Liu Che also began to plan an expedition against the Huns.

war.

At this time, in 106 BC, General Wei Qing, another great nemesis of the Xiongnu, also died. Until now, both Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had passed away. Liu Che lost his two most capable generals in large-scale battles with the Xiongnu.

, the Huns also felt more confident.

However, Uwe Chanyu did not live long. He suddenly died of a sudden illness in 105 BC, and his 15-year-old son Zhan Shilu succeeded him.

Zhan Shilu was so young when he succeeded to the throne that the Han Dynasty called him Er Chanyu. After Liu Che heard about this incident, he also gave up his plan to attack the Huns on a large scale. He decided to use the method of disintegration to let the Huns

Kill each other.

He sent two envoys, one to express condolences to Uwe and the other to express condolences to King Youxian of the Huns.

Liu Che believed that King Youxian was Uwe's younger brother, and he had a high prestige among the Xiongnu. He would definitely not be willing to listen to his nephew's words, so he wanted to send someone to sow discord to test.

But when the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu knew the intention of the Han Dynasty envoy, he immediately ordered his arrest and handed him over to the Chanyu. The Xiongnu Chanyu knew that many Han Dynasty poets were active in the Xiongnu, so he ordered all the Han Dynasty poets to be arrested.

All the envoys from the DPRK were arrested. At the same time, all Xiongnu tribes continued to move northwest, and the army was deployed to prepare for the Han army.

Liu Che learned that the Xiongnu had detained all the Han Dynasty envoys, and he also detained all the Xiongnu envoys. Although the situation was tense, there was no fight in the end.

Finally, in the winter of the year Erchanyu came to the throne, Liu Che waited for an opportunity. The Xiongnu suffered a rare snowstorm and suffered huge losses. Moreover, many Huns believed that this was because Erchanyu was young and immoral and offended God, so

I just want to rebel.

At this time, the Xiongnu Commander-in-Chief Zuo sent people to contact the Han Dynasty. He planned to kill the Xiongnu Chanyu and then defect to the Han Dynasty. Liu Che immediately ordered a large army to be prepared to meet the Xiongnu Commander-in-Chief Zuo at the Han-Hungarian border, but he was worried about the Han Dynasty.

It was too far away from Shan Yuting, so I never dared to take action.

Liu Che sent the powerful general Zhao Ponu and led 20,000 elite cavalry deep into the hinterland of the Huns. Seeing this situation, Captain Zuo began to plan to kill the Shanyu. But before he could take action, he was killed by the Shanyu. Then he was killed by the Shanyu.

Erchanyu mobilized heavy troops to fight Zhao Ponu. Zhao Ponu's army was besieged by the Xiongnu. Finally, Zhao Ponu became hungry and thirsty. He went out to look for water himself, but unfortunately he was captured by the Xiongnu army.

Erdan took Zhao Ponu to the Han military camp the next day and shouted, saying that if you don't surrender now, you will all be punished when you return. So these Han cavalry surrendered to the Huns. This war made the Han

The army suffered a heavy blow, but the Huns became proud and proud.

Liu Che also had to adjust his strategy. Erchanyu greatly improved his prestige through this war, so he began to take radical measures against the Xiongnu and became more arrogant.

In 102 BC, Er Chanyu once again led an army to attack the Han Dynasty city, but on the way, the Xiongnu Chanyu suddenly died. There is no record of how he died. After his death, the Xiongnu nobles did not establish a

His young son was the Chanyu, but Uwei Chanyu's younger brother Gelihu was made the Chanyu.

Short story: With different life experiences and different growth environments, everyone’s attitude towards setbacks will be very different. Some people can still be persevering, persevering and forging ahead no matter what kind of setbacks and hardships they suffer; while some people can still persevere, persevere and forge ahead;

As long as people encounter the slightest difficulty, they will blame others, become dejected, and feel helpless. Practice has proved that people who are physically strong, open-minded, often exposed to adversity, have a tense consciousness, have ideals, ambitions, and cultivation, are more tolerant of setbacks; on the contrary,

Because his boat capsized, a man had to rely on a wooden board to float on the water. He caught live fish to eat and drank sea water every day. Due to his strong will, he was finally discovered by the coast patrol two months later and rescued ashore.

This is a legendary story of an ordinary man. He was able to win the battle against death by relying on his own will and attitude towards difficulties. On the contrary, some people have no confidence in themselves, causing their careers and friendships to fail.

....In the end, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Anyone who has experienced hardships and is well-educated will have some self-help "tricks" to adapt to setbacks and turn danger into safety. To sum up, they can be summarized as follows:

Expectation method: When encountering setbacks, try to think less about temporary gains and losses, think more about the bright future, and keep motivating yourself to cheer up. Everything will pass and you will definitely succeed in the future.

The method of contentment: In the face of setbacks, you must be satisfied with the goals you have achieved, do not expect or force things that are difficult to achieve at the moment, and at the same time look at the people around you who are not as good as yourself. In this way, you can easily get rid of troubles and pain.

Create a good psychological environment for future success.

Compensation method: The ancients said, "What you lose is what you gain." That is, when a goal in a certain area is frustrated, do not be discouraged and replace it with another goal that may be successful, so as not to fall into distress, sadness, pessimism, and despair.

.

Sublimation method: After suffering a personal failure in marriage, family breakdown, property loss, illness, etc., turn grief into strength, work hard, and achieve success in study, work, and career. This is the most positive attitude to deal with setbacks.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Geng Fan was a famous general under Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Once, Liu Xiu sent him to attack Zhang Bu, a local tycoon. The battle was very fierce. Later, Geng Fan was hit in the thigh by a flying arrow, and he

He drew his sword, cut off the arrow, and continued fighting. Finally, he defeated the enemy. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty praised Geng Gan and said to him with emotion: "When the general was in Nanyang, he proposed to attack Zhang Bu and pacified the Shandong area. At first, he thought

The plan was too big, and I was worried that it would be difficult to realize. Now I know that for people with ambition, things can succeed in the end."

We must firmly believe that difficulties and failures are only temporary. As long as we face it bravely, regroup and fight bravely, the boat of life will overcome the stormy waves, sail through the rapids and dangerous shoals, and reach the ideal shore. Even if it is a momentary setback.
