In 5 1 BC, Uhaanyehe hoped to enter Korea to meet Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. A grand welcoming ceremony was held in the Han Dynasty. Armored riders are neatly displayed on the roadsides of the counties they pass. The emperor personally received him in Ganquan Palace, honored him as a vassal king, and gave Khan clothes, gold seals, swords, bows and arrows, and splendid silks. Emperor Yu Changping received Shan Yu and made his ministers and envoys from all over the world watch. Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, boarded the Weihe Bridge, and everyone cheered. After more than a month, Uhaanyehe returned to China, and the Han Dynasty sent 16,000 riders to escort him until the North was full of chickens and deer. He also sent people to deliver rations and sent troops to help him get rid of people who didn't depend on him. When the Western countries saw the Huns surrender to China, they all went smoothly and surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
After Uhaanyehe's brother Zhi Zhi moved westward, he annexed the Xiongnu branch and conquered Wusun, Wu Jie, Jiankun, Dingling and other countries successively, with its capital in Jiankun old city. Because he resented the Han Dynasty's help to Uhaanyehe and stayed away from the Han Dynasty, Zhi Zhi Khan had no respect for the Han Dynasty at first, and often used it as an excuse to embarrass the envoys of the Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (the first 45 years), Zhikhan sent envoys to Chang 'an to ask his son who was taken hostage to return to China. The court wants to send Wei Sima to send the prince back to China. Imperial historian Gong Yu and others thought that Zhi Zhi Khan was far away and had no intention of naturalization, so they suggested that the imperial envoy send Prince Zhi Zhi to the frontier fortress. Ji Gu is also an unfortunate man. He wrote in the letter: "The kindness of China and Yidi is endless. Now he has raised his prince in China for ten years. He is very moral. If you don't send people back to your hometown and give up donations, you will make the Huns forget their gratitude and resent them. I am fortunate to be a special envoy, so I must go bravely. If the Huns kill their lieutenants, they will flee in fear of sin, and our border will be peaceful. The death of an envoy makes the people happy, which is exactly what the minister wants. " The Emperor of the Han and Yuan Dynasties proclaimed ministers, but others still insisted that it would be a pity for the Han Dynasty to enter the inner court of Xiongnu. Feng, the right general, thought it was ok, so Emperor Han and Yuan sent others to Xiongnu. Seeing Prince Zhi back to the capital all the way, Khan not only didn't appreciate it, but also remembered the old resentment that the Han Dynasty didn't help him in recent years, and killed others in a rage. After having a good time, I thought that I had fallen out with the Han Dynasty, and Uhaanyehe also coveted the near future, so he led the people to the west and ran to a comfortable home. King Kangju married Zhi Zhi Khan and became in-laws. King Kangju's original intention was to rely on the influence of Khan to intimidate neighboring countries. Zhi Zhi Khan repeatedly used Kangju's military achievements to defeat Wusun, slightly killing and robbing him. Wu Sun did not dare to resist, and the empty side was deserted for thousands of miles. Zhi Zhi Khan became even more insolent after winning the battle. He found fault and killed the daughter of King Kangju, his nobles and hundreds of people, and some even dismembered them and threw them into the river. He also forced Kangju people to build a Yugoslav capital for him, and sent envoys to threaten the Soviet Union, Dayuan and other countries to pay tribute to him. The Han Dynasty sent envoys to Zhi Zhi Khan three times to ask for the bones of Ji Gu and others, but they were all rejected by Zhi Zhi. They also humiliated and bullied envoys in every way.
In the third year of Zhao Jian (the first 36 years), Chen Tang, the hero of this grandiose adverbial, was ordered to be sent to the Western Regions. Chen Tang, the word Zigong, is good at reading and writing. When I was a child, my family was very poor and I often borrowed money from others to live. His fellow villagers hate him. After arriving in Chang 'an, Fuping Hou took a fancy to his talent and recommended him for the second year of Yuan Dynasty. Shang Chen longed to be an official, but his father died and didn't go home to attend the funeral. This was investigated by Li Si, and 200 households were robbed in Jaco. According to China law, Chen Tang should be imprisoned for his unfilial behavior. Later, because he was really talented, he was recommended as a Langguan. Shang Chen himself felt ashamed to stay in the capital, and wrote many times to ask for a job assignment. As Gan Yanshou was guarding the Western Regions, he went to the frontier fortress as the vice captain of the Western Regions.
Chen Tang is a man of great wisdom and courage. He has "strategized and made outstanding achievements". Every time he passes through the mountains and rivers of the cities along the way, he has to climb to observe the terrain. After Chen Tang went to the Western Regions to escort and treat diseases, he said to Gan Yanshou, "It is their nature to be savage and afraid of the strong. The Western Regions were originally the territory of Xiongnu, and Zhi Zhi Khan is well known. From time to time, Ling invaded Wusun, Dawan and other countries, and often made suggestions and plundered for Kangju. Suppose he destroyed Wusun and Dawan one day and expanded everywhere. In a few years, it will definitely destroy the battleground for military strategists who paid tribute to the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Zhi Zhi Khan is brave and good at fighting, likes conquering, and can endure it for a long time, which is bound to be a great disaster in the western regions in the future. Zhi Zhi Khan is far away, but the Huns have never used strong crossbows for fortification. If we move troops to settle the field and add Wu Sunguo's soldiers to attack his city by surprise, he will have nowhere to escape and will not be able to defend the city. A thousand years of hard work can be achieved once. " Gan Yanshou thought that Shang Chen's words were very reasonable and wanted to invite the imperial court to send troops. Chen Tang said: "Those officials and doctors in the imperial court are talking about Kan Kan in vain. They will definitely not follow our strategy." Gan Yanshou insisted on fighting. It happened that when the Western Regions were unable to listen to things because of their long illness, Chen Tang himself recruited soldiers and Han troops from battlements in the Western Regions under the guise of the imperial court. It was not until the troops outside the city mobilized that Gan Yanshou realized that he was going out to stop it. Chen Tang flew into a rage. With a sword in his hand, he angrily rebuked Gan Yanshou: "The large army has been assembled. Do you dare to stop all troops? " Gan Yanshou helpless, take advantage of the situation. He joined forces in the military parade, adding Yang Wei, White Tiger and riding together in three columns, with more than 40,000 soldiers. At the same time, they wrote a letter about illegally sending troops and sent troops on the same day.
Forty thousand troops were divided into six teams. Three teams crossed Qingling from South Road to Dawan, and the other three teams entered Gu Chi from North Road, passed Wusun and reached the border of Kangju. On the way, they caught up with Vice King Kangju and invaded Gu Chicheng with thousands of cavalry. They not only seized a large number of livestock products, but also often invaded the Han army. Chen Tang ordered his western allied forces to attack the deputy king of Kangju, killing more than 400 people, retaking Gu Chi citizens captured by the deputy king of Kangju, and using the captured cattle, sheep and horses as rations. After arriving at the eastern boundary of Kangzhou, soldiers are forbidden to rob local people and make an alliance with local leaders in Kangzhou to drink, which is a sign of prestige. The army was on a roll until it was sixty miles away from Khan City. At the same time, the local Kangju people were also very dissatisfied with the brutality of Zhi Zhi Khan, and they told Shang Chen all about the Huns in the city.
The next day, the army advanced another 30 miles and camped for standby. Only then did Zhi Zhi Khan know that the Han soldiers were coming. He was so scared that he sent messengers to inquire: "Why did the Han soldiers come?" Chen Tang said, "The son of heaven pitied Shan Yu for abandoning his land and prostrating himself in a comfortable home. I'm sending guards from the Western Regions to welcome Shan Yu's family back, for fear of disturbing Shan Yu, and I won't reach the gate directly. " In this way, the envoys of the two sides answered questions several times. Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang felt that the time was running out and the preparations for the siege were ready, so they asked Khan to be the special envoy: "We have come a long way to work for Khan, so far no famous king has come to visit and obey him, and Khan is so rude! Our soldiers have walked a long way, people and animals are exhausted, and rations are running out. I'm afraid we can't go back like this. I hope Khan will discuss it with the minister and reply to us as soon as possible. "
On the third day, the allies advanced and formed an array three miles from the city. Looking around, Khan was covered with colorful flags, hundreds of people stood in armor on the city, and more than a hundred rode off to show off their strength. At the gate of the city, more than 100 infantry lined up in fish scales to practice exercises. The people in the city kept shouting to the allies, "Come and attack!" Such words have exposed Khan's timidity and guilty conscience, which is like people shouting for courage at night. While watching, 100 more than tarquin people are coming towards the allied front. The Han army aimed the crossbow machine at the bearer, and the Xiongnu soldiers turned their heads and ran back. Shang Chen ordered the allied troops to shoot arrows at the cavalry and infantry at the city gate, which scared them back to the city. Gan Yanshou monk personally beat the drums in the morning, and the whole army immediately rushed forward, rushed to the gate, broke through the moat, besieged the city and pulled out the village, shot the armored soldiers upstairs with a crossbow, and ran downstairs. Because there is a wooden city outside Tucheng, Xiongnu soldiers shoot arrows from the wooden city grid, killing a lot. The allied forces set fire to the wooden city. When it was dark, hundreds of Xiongnu riders couldn't help burning. They fled while it was dark and were all shot head-on.
When Zhi Zhi Khan first learned the news of the arrival of Han soldiers, he wanted to run away. However, he suspects that Kangju people hate themselves and become the internal soldiers of the Han people. He also heard that the enemy Wusun and other city countries sent troops to help the Han people conquer themselves, and he felt that there was nowhere to escape. He had already taken people out of the city. After thinking about it, he decided to go back to the city and stick to it. He said to the left and right, "Han soldiers are far away and cannot attack for a long time." Zhi Zhi Khan is in command upstairs in armor. Dozens of his first wives and second wives (Mrs. E Shi) were also brave. They all used bows to shoot arrows at the Han army. Allied arrows rained down, one arrow was impartial, and only hit the big nose, and dozens of ladies were also killed and injured. Zhi Zhi Khan reluctantly supported him, rode into the city and escaped into the inner city. In the middle of the night, the wooden city was captured by the allied forces, and the Xiongnu soldiers guarding the city shouted outside the city. At that time, there were more than 10,000 comfortable cavalry who were pro-Xiongnu and besieged the city to support Xiongnu. At dawn, flames were blazing in all directions, the allied soldiers shouted for the city, and the sound of gongs and drums was earth-shattering. The Han army pushed the siege vehicle into Tucheng. With a genial smile, Kangju soldiers fled in succession. Han soldiers broke into the inner city, set fires everywhere, and allied soldiers swarmed in. In the battle, Khan was killed and beheaded by the Han soldier Du Xun. In this campaign, * * * beheaded E Shi's Khan, Prince and King 1500, captured 145 and surrendered to Huns 1000.
After the victory, Gan Yanshou and Monk Chen sent this letter to Emperor Han Yuan, which was handed down through the ages and held high:
"I smell the meaning of the world, when mixed into one. Uhaanyehe, a Xiongnu, has always been called a northern vassal, but he only supported Khan's rebellion and did not subdue his koo. Moreover, in Xiaxi, he thought that a strong man could not be a minister. Khan in Zhi Zhi is an evil people, and the great evil is forcing heaven. I prolong my life, and my Tang Jiang is a righteous soldier, taking the ultimate punishment, depending on your majesty's god, combining yin and yang to defeat the enemy and beheading the leader and the famous soldier. You might as well hang a head in the barbarian mansion and show it to Wanli. Those who commit crimes against Han will be punished from afar! "
This grandiloquence must have been written by Shang Chen and Shang Chen himself. Historically, Shang Chen was "good at writing", and later he continued to "write complaints" for others. Therefore, it is conceivable that this all-round Manchu general was really "swallowing Wan Li like a tiger" at that time.
