In order to ask the cuckoo, I urged you to return even if you died, but you didn't come back. Like the white crane in Liaodong, still looking for the beautiful watch, the black bird in the sea still remembers the black clothes. Wu and Shu are not far away, and their feathers are in good condition. Together they take advantage of the east wind and fly to the west. What is he doing, but he is tied up in a barren tree, and his blood is spilled on the branches. Rise and fall are common things, don't be sad. Count how long the glory in this world will last. Looking at Jinjiang, the good news is that the Crouching Dragon is gone, Yushan is intact, and there is nothing wrong with the prancing horse. I don't know how to forgive myself, and my advice is in vain. How can I know that I am walking in hiding? Minshan Road, waiting for the title of Marquis, it is not too late to return.
Chen Renjie Qinyuanchun Asking the Dujuan
How do you know that my generation has been hiding?
A man’s great wish is to win the title of Marquis from thousands of miles away!
Wang Mang’s new dynasty’s foreign policy towards the Huns during the Han Dynasty failed, and the Huns broke away from the vassal vassal and became an enemy country again. The Western Region was therefore cut off. Emperor Guangwu rebuilt the world, tidied up the old mountains and rivers, became a saint on the inside and a king on the outside. The Southern Huns still relied on him, and the Northern Huns eliminated external troubles and invaded the Western Regions.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty inherited his father's legacy and was ambitious to restore the power of Hanwu in the world. Attack the Northern Huns, regain control of the Western Regions, and reestablish the Western Regions Protectorate.
What kind of story can one’s own ambition, intelligence, and bravery be written in the history books?
In 73, the 16th year of Yongping, Dou Gu, the captain of Fengche, who was in charge of the external affairs of the Huns in the Western Regions, ordered his subordinate Ban Chao to envoy to the Western Regions. A legend belonging to a passionate man that will be unparalleled throughout the ages has begun.
First stop: Shanshan. (Loulan)
At this time, the Western Region's southern and northern borders were allied with the Northern Xiongnu.
The countries in southern Xinjiang, led by Shanshan and Khotan, were neutral, and this trip began with diplomatic means.
It was originally an ordinary diplomatic mission. Countless diplomatic envoys have repeated similar missions for thousands of years, and then disappeared into the history books.
What about this time?
When King Shanshan saw the envoy arriving, he treated them with great courtesy.
But within a few days, the treatment became worse and worse. Ban Chao was wary and doubtful, and deceived the waiter to get the information that he expected: The Huns envoy has been here for several days, how is it now?
For a time, the thirty-six people in the mission were in panic. More than thirty people were alone in a foreign land thousands of miles away. This trip was dangerous and they were afraid that they would never be able to return home.
Ban Chao was born in a scholarly family, his father Ban Biao, his brother Ban Gu (the author of the Han Dynasty), and his sister Cao Ban Zhao (the editor of the Han Dynasty). He said: "A real man." Without other ambitions, we should follow the example of Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian, who made meritorious service in foreign lands in order to win the title of marquis. How can we be able to study for a long time?” How can we get tiger cubs!
At night, Ban Chao led a team of thirty-six people to raid the Huns' mission station, which was several times more numerous than him.
It was windy, so we went up to the high place to set fire to the wind. We set up crossbows at the door, and everyone hid in the dark and beat drums in preparation.
When the fire started and the drums sounded, more than 200 Xiongnu people were in chaos. They went out to put out the fire and meet the invading enemies. Or be killed. The Huns' mission was swept away by this special attack and the entire army was annihilated!
Xiaomu was shocked when he read the history. Initially, he was keenly aware of the changes in the current situation with his competitors with different courtesy. The situation was critical, he calmly and decisively planned the uprising, and he was able to defeat the opponent with several times the number of people. Destroy the enemy and accomplish more with one stone, cutting off King Shanshan's retreat. King Shanshan had no way to defend himself against the Huns and was dragged down by Ban Chao! Beautiful, beautiful! Strange people, strange people!
Ban Chao reported this incident, and the imperial court commended him for continuing his mission. He wanted to recruit more troops for him, but he refused and said: "I would like to reduce our base to more than thirty people. If there is any danger, it will be more beneficial than burdensome."
There are only more than thirty people, and one person is here. Eternal achievements!
Second stop: Khotan.
The Han Dynasty competed with the Xiongnu for the dominance of the countries in the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty only sent this one mission. The Huns were bound to win. At the same time, they sent missions to every country in the Western Regions. At this time, Khotan had been entrusted by the Xiongnu envoys for a long time, and Ban Chao was about to be killed as soon as he arrived.
At that time, the level of civilization in the Western Regions was low, and the whole country was superstitious about witch doctors. The Xiongnu colluded with the witch doctors. The witch doctors induced the King of Khotan to be hostile to the Han envoys, and lied that the Han envoys' mounts and horses could be used as sacrifices to gods. They went to Ban Chao to provoke him. dispute.
Ban Chao made a decisive decision and killed the witch doctor with a knife, threatening the King of Khotan. When the King of Khotan saw that the witch doctor, the messenger of God, could not serve as a good messenger, he immediately turned against him. Kill all the Huns envoys.
Khotan also went down.
Shanshan and Khotan are the leaders of southern Xinjiang, and southern Xinjiang is completely hidden.
The third stop, the junction point of northern and southern Xinjiang, Shule.
At this time, Shule was occupied and annexed by the powerful northern Xinjiang power Qiuca, an ally of the Huns.
Ban Chao sent his subordinate Tian Liu, who had been frightened in Shanshan, to recapture Shule. At this time, Tian Liu had been away for three days, and Fei Wu was under Amen, so he used a plan to support Shule's old army. General, he helped Shule recover the country, but Shule fell to the Han court.
The little brother back then has grown into a great talent in his own right because of following the super leader.
At this time, Dou Gu sent troops to conquer the chariot divisions of the powerful northern Xinjiang country, cutting off the Xiongnu's contact with the northern Xinjiang allies Qiuci and Yanqi. There was a great earthquake in the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty resettled the Western Regions Protectorate and restored control of the Western Regions.
When the matter is over, Ban Chao is called back to the court.
Before that, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty died and Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne. The powerful northern powers such as Qiuci and Yanqi took advantage of the Han Dynasty's mourning and rebelled and captured the Western Region Protectorate.
Ban Chao was in Shule at this time. The Han court was unable to do anything at this time and ordered them to abandon the Western Region. Shule and Khotan were frightened and feared that they would be destroyed by Qiuci and the Xiongnu again. They begged Ban Chao to die. Yan regarded the Han envoys as his parents, whom he depended on for life and death. Ban Chao became heroic again and disobeyed orders to stay and help save the situation in the Western Regions.
When Suzong first came to the throne, Chen Muxin disappeared. He was afraid that Chao would be alone and in danger of being unable to stand on his own, so he issued an edict to conquer Chao. If the excess is returned, the whole country will be worried. The captain Li Dan said: "If the Han envoy abandons me, I will be killed by Qiuci again. I really can't bear to see the Han envoy go." So he killed himself with a knife. When the enemy was overtaken, the kings and princes all cried out: "The envoys of Yihan are like parents, we really can't go." They hugged each other's feet and couldn't do it.
