That's rightThe times create heroes, and there are famous generals in all dynasties and dynasties who are worth passing on, but inIn the Han Dynasty, there was a super general with no name, but his merits were comparable to Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
He only fought one battle in his life, but he made the alien race dare not come to attack for three hundred years, a sentence: ".Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away!It is even more exciting to listen to and sung to this day.
He is a famous general of the Western Han DynastyAged soup
The origin of the old soup is not big, and it can even be said to be very smallis so small that he is a nameless person in the people.
He grew up in a poor family, but fortunatelyHe is smart and quick-witted, not only likes to read, but also writes well.
What's even more valuable is thatChen Tang has never been a person who plays according to routinesAlways likedThe sword goes sideways, and is not trapped by the world.
In those days, the literati of that era had a kind of ambition, called".Do not accept alms from others"., but Chen Tang felt it: People are dying of hunger, what kind of integrity do you pay attention to?
So, among all the talented and beautiful women, he was the only one who made a living by begging for loans.
There is no doubt that this has led toThe locals disliked him for not having a temperanceHe was even so disgusted that he didn't want to mention his name.
The most important thing is that even if Chen Tang's knowledge is acceptable, butEvery time the county wants to recommend a virtuous person to the imperial court, it will always habitually exclude him.
And he saw that not only was he not famous in the local area, but he could not pay off his foreign debts, so he could only go all the way west and wander thereChang'an
When he arrived in the prosperous imperial capital, he soon relied on his profound knowledge to seek an errand in the local areaThe Taiguan offered foodIn simple terms, it isThe assistant of the Taiguan Order
The official order belongsSubordinate officials of the Shaofu, the main responsibilities are:Manage the palace food,So his position is not too big.
Although the position is not large, it has an advantage, and that isHe had access to many dignitaries and princes.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to meet many dignitariesPlus,He was smart and ingenious, and soon met Zhang Bo, the Marquis of Fuping, who also liked to meet talents.
It was just in timeEmperor Guangxian of the Han Yuan Dynasty, and he also got the opportunity to rise to the top under the strong recommendation of this person.
But just as he was about to show his strength, he suddenly learnedNews of my father's death.
For a while, he was like being struck by lightning, you know, at this moment his career is just on the right trackIf he chooses to return home at this moment, then all his previous efforts will be in vain
Can ifIf he doesn't go home, he will be infamous for being unfilial. You know, in this day and age,When his parents die, he must keep filial piety for three years
So, he's been thinking,Is it time to go home to handle my father's funeral at this critical time? Or do you risk the world to do nothing, conceal the truth and not keep the gift of filial piety?
After careful consideration, Chen Tang, who has not been bound by the world since he was a child, chose despite his sadnessConcealment and non-reporting
And, in his opinion, according toHis reputation in his hometown since he was a child, no one will pay special attention to him.
What Chen Tang didn't expect was thatThe incident was soon learned by his jealous colleagues, who also reported himself, and then it was even more noisy.
In the end, he was dismissed, not to mention, even Zhang Bo, who recommended him, was also held responsible, and even after his death, he was also sealed."Miao Hou".is the wrong meaning.
But Chen Tang did not give up because of thisAfter he was released on bail and released from prison, he became a lang official again.
It is not known whether the person who bailed him out was Zhang Bo or his former boss. But at least one thing can be said:Chen Tang's excellence is appreciated by others.
And Chen Tang, who was resurrected with full blood, was unwilling to be satisfied with the status quo, so he did it many timesAsked the imperial court to send an envoy to the Western Regions.
You must know that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty subdued the Xiongnu, decades have passed, and this alien race is still very tough.
That is to say,The errand of going to the Western Regions is very difficult to doNot only is the journey difficult, but the safety of life cannot be guaranteed, and ordinary people will not go at all.
In fact, Chen Tang also has his own plans for doing thisIf this mission to the Western Regions can go smoothly, it will definitely be beneficial to his future career.
At this very moment,No one wants to take on this drudgerySince Chen Tang has asked for help many times, the imperial court has also just pushed the boat along the river. It's just that what everyone didn't expect is,He also started his peak moment.
During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the five major Xiongnu were fighting for the throneAll day long, either you beat me or I beat you.
If you win, you will occupy the capital as the king, and if you lose, you don't want to surrender, so you will run to the Han Dynasty to seek refugeBy the late stage of the melee, the Huns'WhewHan Xie Shan rebels suddenly rose up under the tent, and the separated team went to the eastern region, and established itself as Zhizhi Shan Yu.
And almost from the beginning to the end, Hu Han Evil Shan failed, thensent his son to serve in the Han Dynasty.
At this time, Zhi Zhishan was worried that Hu Han Evil Shan Yu would gain the support of the Han DynastyHe also pretended to send his son over.
Originally, he thought that if he also sent his son to serve in the court, the Han should not intervene in the civil war between them for power. But Hu Han Evil Shan Yu also understands:It is impossible to win alone
So,He personally went to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's Ganquan Palace to ask for help.
It's clear,Hu Han Evil Shan is very effective in this trick of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat".On the one hand, he confused Zhi Zhishan Yu, making him think that the opponent had taken refuge in the Han Dynasty and would not come back, so he began to sweep westward unscrupulously.
On the other hand,The sincerity of Hu Han Shan Yu also touched the Han Dynasty.
So, the imperial court not onlyNearly 20,000 troops were stationed in Guanglusai, and a lot of food was distributed for the Huns to eatAt the same time, the combination of the two forces also became a powerful barrier for the northern border of the Han Dynasty to defend against the Xiongnu.
And the road to the west of Zhi Zhishan Yu has beenWin big, in the territory of the Huns, it can also be regarded as "covering the sky with one hand".
But he also understandsIn the face of the Han army, he still did not have the strength to fight, so in order to avoid the edge, he pressed the army into the Western Regions.
And then in successionDefeated Wujie, Jiankun and Ding LingAfter waiting for the country, the capital was finally set to Yu Jiankun to dominate the region.
By the time of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty,Zhi Zhishan Yu suddenly sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty and expressed his willingness to submit, but only if that,I want to take away my son, who was a waiter in Dahan before.
So, the Han was dispatchedGu JiGo to Jiankun to send it back, who knowswas killed by the other party.
Zhi Zhi, who knew that he was in troubleFirst fled west to Kangju, and then with the help of the power of King Kangju, he annexed the surrounding small statesAfter the expansion of power, he forced Su, Dawan and other countries to pay tribute to him.
During this period, the Han Dynasty successively sent three waves of envoys to ask for the bodies of Gu Ji and othersThe other party not only refused, but also embarrassed and insulted.
At the same time, he also wrote to the Han Dynasty:He is willing to submit, but the premise is that he needs Dahan to send a son over as well.
In the face of Zhi Zhidan, this kind of person who does not play cards according to the routine,The crowd only wanted to send troops to subdue him.
However, considering that the Han Dynasty is no longer as glorious as it used to be, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty did not want to go toe-to-toe with the Xiongnu anymore, so he hugged itThe attitude of turning big things into small thingssent the Western Regions Protector Gan Yanshou and Deputy Captain Chen Tang to the peace talks.
But when the two arrived in the Western Regions, they found that:The situation here is far more complicated than what is heard above the court.
In other words:It is impractical to rely on reason to persuade people to communicate with this group of people, and only force can force them to submit once and for all.
Immediately, Chen Tang said to Gan Yanshou:
"The Xiongnu are fierce and warlike by nature, and if they swallow Wusun and Dawan, then the entire Western Regions will be difficult to control. Now is the time to destroy him, as he doesn't yet have a strong enough city and a weapon to defend it.After hearing this,Gan Yanshou also believes that this method is feasible, and then he was ready to report the local situation and the thoughts of the two to the imperial court.If he sends troops to the city at this time, he will be in a situation where he can't fight, defend, run, and run, but if it drags on for a long time, there will be more and more problems. ”
But Chen Tang said after seeing his behavior"If you write a letter now and wait for the approval of the imperial court, the country will definitely drag it out, and all the fighters will be lost at that time. ”
But Gan Yanshou, as the main person in charge, how dare he make a decision privately. If he wins this battle, it's okay to say, but if he loses, what will he do?
However, Chen Tang, who has always played cards out of common sense, can't take care of it so muchHe took advantage of Gan Yanshou's illness to falsely preach the holy decree to the countries of the Western RegionsThen more than 40,000 soldiers were stationed in the name of the Han DynastyPrepare to launch an attack on Zhi Zhidanyu.
And after Gan Yanshou knew about it,Hurriedly wanted to stop the other party, but he didn't expect that Chen Tang, who had always been good at talking, would press the hilt of his sword with his hand and draw his sword at this time, and scolded angrily: ".The army has been assembled, and the arrows are bound to be launched, and whoever wants to stop it will be dealt with according to shaking the hearts of the army! ”
Seeing this situation, Gan Yanshou knew,It's too late to change the tide of the warSo, he had no choice but to go with him.
OriginalEnvoy to the Western RegionsIt became in an instantExpedition to the Huns, the big war will also be on the verge of breaking out.
ButThe sin of false proclamation is great, so Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang during this periodWhile preparing to play the self-**, the army of more than 40,000 people was divided into six squads.
Chen Tang led three teams to cross the south road through Dawan, and the other route crossed the northern road through Wusun to the border of the Kangju Kingdom.
PeriodThe two teams not only repelled the enemy troops who had looted the supplies, but also calmed the uneasy mood of the small countries passing through, won the support and reputation of many countries, and then joined forces in the eastern part of Kangju, where Zhizhi Shan is located.
And Chen Tang gained the trust of the locals in KangjuSuccessfully obtained the specific deployment location of the Huns in the city
It turned out that the locals had long hated this ruthless "invader", and when they saw Chen Tang's disciplined troops, they naturally becameWilling to help this "righteous army".
Sure enough, the already stubborn army was helped by the localsAll the way through the level, killed 30 miles away from Shan Yu City.
And Zhi Zhishan saw the army that suddenly killed in front of him, for a whileI was so scared that I lost my arrogance in an instant.
But he was still not willing to compromise on this, so he sent an envoy to the Chen Tang camp to ask"Why did the Han army suddenly overwhelm the border? ”
At this time, Chen Tang looked at the other party's face and thought: Will you know how to ask politely? It's late!
So he replied to the visiting envoy: "Go back and tell you that Shan Yu has written that he will submit to the Great Han. And I, the Son of Heaven, sympathize with your plightAs a big country, how can you succumb to such a small place as Kangju, so the special general came here to take orders to enter the court. ”
Seeing that the other party was still bargaining, Chen Tang said impatiently"We have traveled thousands of miles to pick up your family Shan Yu, the people are already hungry and sleepy, hurry back and let your family Shan Yu and the ministers have an idea." ”
But Zhi Zhishan would obediently go out of the city and obey, so it was the next dayThe army marched forward again, to build a position only three miles away from the city of Shanyu, in preparation for the final battle that followed.
And here, seeing that there is no way out, Zhi Zhi is single,He also sacrificed the battle flag and shouted to the army outside the city: "Let the horses come!" ”
In other words, he took the lead in sending more than 100 Hun cavalry to rush out of the city and rush to the big tent of the coalition army.
Then, the soldiers of the Han camp unhurriedly opened the formationAt the same time, the strong bow troops fired thousands of arrows, and the Hun cavalry and infantry who fought lost their armor.
FinallyThe army advanced step by step under the leadership of the commander-in-chiefYou must know that Shan Yucheng is just a dirt city, even if the Huns resisted fiercely, Kang Juguo also sent 10,000 cavalry to help, but they were all suppressed by the coalition forces and could not escape.
The battle was fought for nearly a day and a nightZhi Zhishan died of serious injuries, and the battle of Chengbo ended
After a great victoryThe vitality of the Xiongnu was greatly damaged, and the Han Dynasty also ushered in three hundred years of tranquility.
Subsequently, Chen Tang sent another letter to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty: Let all the aliens see the fate of the invasion of the Han Empire. At the same time, let them understand,Whoever dares to make a mistake, no matter how far we run, we will solve them all.
Therefore, Chen Tang also left a famous saying for the agesThose who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away
Although this battle was a war against the Xiongnu launched by Chen Tang under the false decree of the Holy Decree, butBut he started the war only after he really understood the situation in the Western Regions
And he canSeize the enemy's weakness and seize the opportunity to take effective diplomatic measures with the people of Kangju.
It laid a solid foundation for finally defeating the Xiongnu and stabilizing the Western Regions, so that foreign races would not dare to invade for three hundred years.
Although Chen Tang is not as brilliant as the two generals of Wei Huo, butThe spirit of daring to show the sword in the face of foreign enemies is worthy of learning and worship by future generations.
