It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years: the pro-Xiongnu policy of Han Dynasty
Liu Bang's successors, from Emperor Han Hui to Emperor Han Jing, all inherited the legacy of Gaozu, continued to paralyze Xiongnu through relatives and friends, and at the same time preserved their own strength and made great achievements. Finally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a heavy attack and pushed the Xiongnu to the Han Sea north of the desert.
It is courage for a person to attack a strong enemy when his strength is weak, and it is heroic to serve his life and accumulate wealth. The later Tang dynasty inherited the strategy of the Han dynasty, so it could stabilize the border and surrender the tribe; Later, the Ming Dynasty perished under the stubborn nationalism, China's accession to the country, foreign invasion and internal and external troubles.
First of all, the siege of Deng Bai is a disgrace to Liu Bang.
During the Warring States period, the Xiongnu tribe was very weak and was constantly invaded by the Yueshi Kingdom and the Donghu tribe. It was not until Mao Dun came to power that the Xiongnu became stronger from weak. Mao Dun is a cruel man. In order to train an army that was absolutely loyal to himself, he killed those who did not obey him with a Yao Ming (whistling arrow). After Mao Dun killed his father and proclaimed himself emperor, he defeated Donghu and Yueshi successively and unified the whole grassland. After Mao Dun became powerful, he constantly attacked the border of the Han Dynasty, often killing the chiefs of the Han Dynasty and plundering the people. Later, he openly accepted the rebellious letter from Han Wangxin and formed an alliance with him to attack the Han Dynasty.
Faced with the provocation of modu chanyu, Liu Bang was very angry and immediately fought back. The Western Han army at the front defeated the Xiongnu army one after another, and the Xiongnu army retreated northward. In the face of successive good news, Liu Bang was so excited that he planned to lead the main force to annihilate the Xiongnu. He sent ten special envoys to inspect the front line. Nine envoys came back and said that the Xiongnu army was only vulnerable to the elderly, the sick and the disabled. It's just the last time Lou Jing felt cheated, as if there was an ambush. But Liu Bang didn't listen, so he decided to attack the whole army and put Lou Jing in prison.
Facts have proved that Liu Bang was indeed caught, and the Xiongnu army was old, weak and sick, but that was just an illusion created by modu chanyu. He deliberately hid the main force in the rear, and then led the Korean army into a preset trap with the disabled soldiers, and then annihilated it when the Korean army was tired. This tactic of deliberately showing weakness and luring the enemy deep is a classic tactic of nomadic people. Morton and skeat used exactly the same tactics against Ju Lushi as Darius and Parthia used against Rome.
Sure enough, when Liu Bang arrived near Pingcheng, Deng Bai, he was ambushed in all directions. Modu chanyu Khan once surrounded a regiment of the Han army, but the Han army broke through many times to no avail. For the Korean army, the most dangerous thing is not the impact of tarquin, but tarquin's use of mobile advantage to cut off the logistics supply of the Korean army and starve it to death. The Han army met with difficulties encountered by both Persians and Romans. The worst thing for a huge infantry regiment is that it is constantly harassed by nomadic cavalry and cut off from supplies. That's how Ju Lushi died.
According to historical records, Liu Bang sent Chen Ping to bribe Mao Dun's wife, and Mao Dun withdrew his troops under his wife's pillow, but this was obviously illogical. Morton can even kill his beloved wife and father. How can he be controlled by a woman? More likely, Morton agreed to panic in the Han army with Han Wangxin and Wang Huang, but they haven't arrived yet, so Morton suspected that they might defect and attack themselves with the Han army. On the other hand, the number of Han troops is also very large, and Deng Bai is too close to the border of the Han Dynasty. If you storm, it will definitely do more harm than good.
Under comprehensive consideration, modu chanyu gave up the elimination of Liu Bang. Liu Bangcai survived. After Deng Bai, Liu Bang never underestimated the Huns.
After Liu Bang fled from Deng Bai, he immediately released Lou Jing and killed the first nine blind messengers. After this battle, Liu Bang thoroughly knew the horror of the Huns, so he asked Lou Jing how to deal with them. Lu Shuijing put forward the affinity policy.
Lou Jing said: At the beginning of the world, people were poor and everyone was tired. They really can't stand the war, so they must never use force against the Huns. In addition, modu chanyu has no shame in killing his father and marrying his mother, so he can't use benevolence and righteousness. The only way is to look to the future, not to seek rash surrender, but to rely on future generations.
Lou Jing suggested that Liu Bang marry his own princess Lv Yuan, and Lv Yuan was a royal princess, and gave him a generous dowry. He was very happy to make him a queen, and his son was the future Attila. Your Majesty often sends people to visit him in Xiongnu to remind him of the feelings between the two generations. In the long run, it will be able to tame it. After all, this is the reason why grandchildren and grandparents oppose it.
After listening to Liu Bang's words, he was overjoyed and prepared to let the crown princess get married. Finally, due to Lv Hou's obstruction, he gave up his plan to marry a fake princess.
As far as the effect is concerned, Lou Jing's goal has not been achieved. Marrying a princess in the past Han Dynasty is not necessarily a queen, nor is her son Attila a queen, nor will Attila be close to the Han Dynasty because of one or two women. However, the policies of the Democratic Party still played a role. Although he failed to make the Huns obey the Han Dynasty, he paralyzed the Huns, made him think that the Han Dynasty was weak, relaxed his vigilance against the Han Dynasty, and made it possible for the Han Dynasty to recharge.
After Liu Bang, whenever the Huns plundered the border, the Han Dynasty sent princesses to make friends with them, and the Huns who often received gifts from the Han Dynasty immediately withdrew. From Han Hui to Han Jing, the Huns only plundered the border and population at most, and had no ambition. Several large-scale military operations were also conquered by the sugar-coated shells of the Han Dynasty, which failed to cause a fatal blow to the Han Dynasty. Lou Jing is right about one thing: Huns are short-sighted, and using beautiful women is enough to confuse them and make them misjudge the situation.
Finally, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, the Han Dynasty showed its real strength and made a blockbuster, driving the Xiongnu to the bitter and cold land north of the dry sea desert. The Han dynasty also continued to use democratic policies to win over western countries to contain Xiongnu. The pro-democracy movement can be said to have supported half of the diplomacy of the Han Dynasty. These selfless and forced women let the whole country win in this cruel competition.
The late Tang and Qing dynasties carried forward the policy of being close to the people in the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty relied on being close to the people to stabilize the frontier and won the support of the Hu people. The Qing dynasty used Mongolian marriage to control Mongolian nobles, thus firmly controlling Mongolian grasslands for the first time, making Mongolian nobles a staunch supporter of the Qing dynasty. If military conquest is a big stick, then affinity is the best carrot, and carrot sticks can subdue the surrounding tribes.
On the other hand, after the Ming Dynasty, when the force was far less than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was a great shame to always insist on going to China. Reconciliation can't be reconciled, and it can't beat others. In the end, the mountains and rivers were broken by internal and external troubles, and the emperor and daughter of their own family became slaves of different nationalities. Isn't this fate more humiliating than a moment of intimacy?
On the way to attack Han Wangxin, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was besieged by Xiongnu troops in Dengbai Mountain for seven days and seven nights. Later, on the advice of counselor Chen Ping, she gained her freedom by bribing her wife.
After Liu Bang returned to the imperial court, he committed several crimes. Liu Bang was very unhappy and asked Liu Jing what he could do.
Liu bang approached the Huns. If Liu Jing says, can he really win without fighting?
Liu Jing analyzed from his point of view that it was impossible for modu chanyu to unify the Xiongnu tribe by force and kill his father. If we use force, the Han army will fight for years and the soldiers will fall into chaos. It is unrealistic to conquer the Huns by force. Therefore, it is best to take a long-term view and let the descendants of Mao Dunhan submit to the Han Dynasty.
And the best way to realize this idea is through affinity. The object of marriage must be big princess of Liu Bang, that is, the daughter of Liu Bang and Lu Housheng. Big princess married the Huns and gave them a generous gift, so big princess married Li Yu. big princess's son is a prince and he will inherit Khan in the future. Such modu chanyu is the son-in-law of the emperor, and the order is the nephew of the emperor. Where did you hear that your grandson dared to compete with his grandfather? This will make the Huns surrender without fighting.
And if you didn't marry big princess in the past and only chose other royal women, you won't be able to achieve this trick, and it won't do you any good.
For the sake of national stability, Liu Bang intends to let big princess marry the Huns. But Lv Hou has only one daughter. She cried day and night when she heard the news. In this way, Liu bang did not give the big princess to his relatives after all.
In the name of big princess, Liu Bang found a maid-in-waiting, married Morton Khan, and let Liu Jing marry the Huns.
After the two sides became evenly matched, modu chanyu stopped the intrusion a little.
Later, Prince Lu Wan rebelled and led his cronies to surrender to the Huns, becoming the helper of Magic Capital Khan.
Morton was able to suppress the Han Dynasty by force, not only because he had 300,000 riding and shooting troops, but also because of the help of surrenders, such as Han Wangxin and Lu Wan.
After Liu Bang's death, modu chanyu not only didn't stop the invasion because of intimacy, but wrote to Lv Hou and molested Lv Hou. Lv Hou was very angry and wanted to send troops to attack the Huns. Finally, I was persuaded by Kibo to give up.
After Emperor Xian of Han ascended the throne, he took the initiative to relive this intimate relationship. Emperor China gave Modu Dandan some property, and the relationship between the two countries eased slightly.
After Maughton Khan died, he has been Khan. Emperor China sent a royal princess to marry him. But eunuch Zhong Xing said that because he didn't want to go to Xiongnu, he was coerced and surrendered to Khan when he arrived in Xiongnu.
China Bank said that after the surrender, China Bank gave Khan many ideas to suppress the Han Dynasty. Let the lobbying of the Han Dynasty be completely useless in the Huns. This also made the Han Dynasty very passive. Even though women and property were given, they were still threatened by Huns.
The end result was that the Han dynasty kept sending women to kiss, and the Huns wanted to tear up the Covenant. Until Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the policy of being close to the people was still implemented in the Han Dynasty, but the Huns reduced their aggression.
Liu Jing gave Liu Bang advice and care from the beginning. To achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting, we must make no mistakes everywhere. Liu Jing himself said that he "doesn't talk about benevolence and righteousness", and the ethics of Huns is not strong, so it is not uncommon for a son to marry his father's concubine and exchange women with his brother. How can we ensure that big princess will be taken seriously?
After Liu Bang's death, although the pro-princess was regarded as the first wife, it was not recorded who the pro-daughter Khan's mother was. Even if Liu Bang married big princess in the past, if big princess had no children, or the children born would not inherit the throne, the plan would not succeed.
The affinity of several dynasties before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was due to the fact that Xiongnu soldiers were stronger than Ma Zhuang, and it was very difficult for the Han Dynasty to expedition to Xiongnu. However, the years of intimacy in the Han Dynasty also had an impact. The Han Dynasty used sugar-coated shells to disintegrate the Huns' aggression step by step and open the mutual market, so that both countries could enjoy the benefits of peace, and the Han Dynasty could also recuperate and accumulate strength.
