Xuan Di, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, fought for power and profit, and his power gradually declined. He was divided into five khans and attacked each other endlessly. Among them, Uhaanyehe was defeated by his brother Zhi Zhi Khan. Hu decided to make up with the Han Dynasty and personally appear before the emperor. Hu is the first Khan in the Central Plains. Emperor Xuan Di personally went to the outskirts of Chang 'an to meet him and held a grand banquet for him. Uhaanyehe lived in Chang 'an for more than a month. He asked Emperor Xuan Di to help him go back. Xuan Di agreed, and sent two generals to lead ten thousand cavalry to escort him to Monan. At that time, the Huns were short of food, and the Han dynasty also sent 34 thousand welcome food. Uhaanyehe was very grateful and made up with the Han Dynasty. Hearing that the Huns and the Han Dynasty were reconciled, countries in the western regions rushed to deal with the Han Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di, his son Liu X succeeded to the throne, namely Emperor Han Yuan. The Xiongnu Khan branch invaded the western countries and killed the envoys sent by the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty sent troops to Kangzhou and killed Zhi Zhi Khan. When Zhikhan dies, his position will be stable.

The Wild Goose tells the story of Zhao Jun leaving the fortress. During the Han and Yuan Dynasties, there was no peace on the north-south border. In order to appease the Xiongnu in the north, Emperor Han Yuan chose Zhaojun to marry Khan to ensure that the two countries would be reconciled forever. On a crisp autumn day, Zhaojun bid farewell to his native land and set off for the north. Along the way, Ma Si Yan Ming, tore heart crack lung; The feeling of sadness disturbed her. On the mountain, she plucked the strings and played a tragic farewell song. The geese flying south heard the sweet piano and saw the beautiful woman riding a horse. They forgot to flap their wings and fell to the ground. From then on, Zhaojun was called "Wild Goose".

In 33 BC, Uhaanyehe came to Chang 'an again and asked for marriage. Xu. In the Han Dynasty, Huns and their relatives had to choose the princess or the daughter of the imperial clan. This time, Emperor Han Yuan decided to choose a maid-in-waiting for him. He ordered someone to send a message to the harem: "Whoever wants to go to Xiongnu, the emperor will treat her as a princess." The ladies in the harem are all selected from the people. As soon as they entered the palace, they all hoped to let them out one day, just like caged birds. But I don't want to leave my country for Xiongnu. There was a maid-in-waiting named Wang Qiang and Zhaojun. She was beautiful and knowledgeable. Volunteer to kiss Xiongnu. Yuan Di married Uhaanyehe and Wang Zhaojun in Chang 'an. When Uhaanyehe and Wang Zhaojun thanked Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Gaozu saw that Zhaojun was beautiful and generous, making the Han Palace colorful. Legend has it that when Emperor Han Yuan returned to the Inner Palace, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He had the portrait of Zhao Jun taken from the portrait of the maid-in-waiting. Although it looks a bit like it, it is not as cute as Zhao Jun himself. It turns out that ladies-in-waiting usually don't see the emperor after entering the palace, but painters draw portraits and give them to the emperor for selection. There is a painter named Mao Yanshou. When he painted the portrait of the maid-in-waiting, the maid-in-waiting gave him some gifts, and he painted it beautifully. Wang Zhaojun didn't want to give gifts, so Mao Yanshou didn't describe Wang Zhaojun's beauty truthfully. Emperor Han Yuan was very angry and killed Mao Yanshou.

Wang Zhaojun left Chang 'an under the escort of Han and Xiongnu officials. Riding a horse and braving the biting wind, she came all the way to Xiongnu and became the E Shi of Uhaanyehe. E Shi was named "Hu Ning", hoping that she could bring peace and tranquility to Xiongnu, and let Zhaojun stay away from his hometown and settle in Xiongnu for a long time. She advised Uhaanyehe not to wage war, and passed on the Central Plains culture to the Huns. After that, the Huns and the Han Dynasty lived in harmony, and there was no war for more than 60 years. It is commendable that after Uhaanyehe's death, she married E Shi's eldest son, Uhaanyehe's eldest son. Although this contradicts the ethical concept of the Central Plains, she values the friendship between Han and Xiongnu from the overall situation. Wang Zhaojun gave birth to a boy and two girls in Xiongnu. Zhao Jun's date of birth and death is not recorded in the history books.
