The first war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was a rout, and they never recovered.

The first war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was a rout, and they never recovered.

During the Qin Dynasty, Xiongnu was defeated by general Meng Tian and fled to Mobei. They have been afraid to go to the south for more than ten years. After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, the Huns rose again, and Chu and Han contended, so they had no time to look north and gradually crossed the Yellow River south.

The prince of Xiongnu Khan Tou Man was named modu chanyu. Later, Tou Man's beloved E Shi gave birth to a little son, and Tou Man wanted him to be a prince. At this time, the East Lake tribe was very strong, and the Yue tribe in the western regions was also very strong. Tou Man then sent modu chanyu to Ren Yue as a hostage. Soon, Tou Man attacked Ren Yue, and Ren Yue wanted to kill modu chanyu. Modu chanyu stole Ren Yue's good horse and fled back to Xiongnu. Tou Man thought modu chanyu was strong and brave, so he commanded ten thousand cavalry.

Modu chanyu made whistling arrows to train his soldiers to ride and shoot so that they could get used to following their orders. Ordered: "If you don't shoot together after seeing my arrow, behead!" Morton immediately shot his good horse with a roaring arrow, and then shot his beloved wife, and everyone around him who dared not follow the launch was killed. Finally, modu chanyu shot Tou Man Khan's good horse with a loud arrow, and left and right sides followed suit. In this way, modu chanyu knew that these soldiers could be used. When he was hunting with Tou Man, he hit Tou Man with a loud arrow, and all his people followed suit and shot Khan. Finally, Tou Man was killed, and his stepmother, brother and disobedient ministers were all killed. Modu chanyu stood on his own two feet.

When Donghu heard that Morton had killed his father and stood on his own feet, he sent a messenger to tell Morton, "I want the swift horse when Tou Man was in power." Morton asked his ministers, and they all said, "That's the BMW of Xiongnu, and you can't give it to anyone!" Modu chanyu said, "How can you be a friendly neighbor and keep a horse?" Immediately gave the horse to East Lake. Soon, Donghu sent a messenger to see Maodun and said, "I want a E Shi. He is Khan." Morton asked the attendants around him again, and they all said angrily, "Dong Hu is so rude that he asked E Shi! Please send troops to attack it! " Modu chanyu said, "We are neighbors, how can we be reluctant to part with a woman!" I chose my favorite E Shi for East Lake.

King Donghu became more and more arrogant and indulgent. Between Donghu and Xiongnu, there is no one to live in, and Fiona Fang is more than 1000 miles. The two sides fought their own battles and set up garrisons and guard posts. Donghu once again sent messengers to see Maodun, saying, "I'll take these uninhabited wasteland." Morton still called his ministers, and some of them said, "This is a wasteland. You can give it to them or not. " Morton flew into a rage at this moment: "Land is the foundation of the country, how can it be given to people!" " That is, kill all the courtiers who say they can give. Morton then jumped on his horse and ordered, "Those who leave late at home will be beheaded!" " Immediately led the troops to attack East Lake. Donghu people despised modu chanyu very much and were unprepared, so modu chanyu destroyed Donghu people.

Modu chanyu returned home in triumph, went to the Western Expedition, annexed Loufan and Aries kings south of the Yellow River, and then invaded Yan and Dai areas, all in order to recover the Huns' old land that was taken away by Meng Tian in those years, and seized a large area of land from the fortress south of the original Hetao pass at the Han Dynasty border to Chaonan County and Pumice County. At this time, the Han army and Xiang Yu were at odds, and the Central Plains region was consumed by the war. As a result, modu chanyu became powerful, with more than 300,000 soldiers using bows and arrows, and its power conquered all countries.

In autumn, Xiongnu soldiers surrounded Han Wangxin in Mayi. Han Wangxin sent envoys to Xiongnu many times to seek reconciliation. The Han Dynasty sent troops to help, but he suspected that Han Wangxin's frequent personal emissaries had second thoughts about the Han Dynasty, so he sent someone to sue Han Wangxin. Han Wangxin was afraid of being killed, so he surrendered to the Huns and occupied Mayi City. Xiongnu modu chanyu immediately took advantage of the situation, led the troops to cross Zhu Zhu, attacked Taiyuan, and arrived in Jinyang.

Gaudi personally led the troops to attack Han Wangxin, defeated Han Wangxin's army in Tongxian County, and killed his ministry, Wang Xi. Han Wangxin fled to Xiongnu, and his generals, such as Qiu Chen and Wang Huang in Tathagata Confession County, made Zhao Li, a descendant of Wang Zhao, king, unified Han Wangxin's skirmishers, defeated him, and conspired with Han Wangxin and Xiongnu to attack the Han army. Xiongnu sent around Xianwang to command more than 10,000 cavalry, and Wang Huang was stationed in the south of Guangwu to fight in Jinyang. The Han army attacked them, and the Xiongnu soldiers immediately fled, then assembled and pursued by the Han army. At this time, it happened that the weather was cold and it was snowing heavily. Twenty-three of the ten Han soldiers lost their fingers.

Gaudi lived in Jinyang, and when he heard that Modu Khan lived in Daigu, he wanted to attack him, so he sent people to spy on the Huns. At this time, modu chanyu hid his lean soldiers, fat cattle and horses, and only saw old, weak and disabled soldiers and thin livestock. Ten groups of envoys sent by the Han army came back one after another, and all reported that the Huns could attack. Gaudi then sent Liu Jing to the Huns. Before he came back, the Han army dispatched soldiers to the north to pursue the Huns and crossed the mountain. When Liu Jing came back, he reported: "The two countries are attacking each other, and they should show off their advantages. But now when I go to Xiongnu, I only see thin livestock and old and weak soldiers. This must be to show weakness and ambush raiders of the lost ark for victory. I don't think the Huns can attack. " At this time, the Han army had been dispatched, and Emperor Gao was greatly annoyed. He cursed and said, "You bastard of Qi, you just got an official position by talking, and now you talk nonsense to obstruct my army!" " Liu Jing was detained in Guangwu with instruments of torture.

Gaudi arrived in Pingcheng ahead of schedule, but all the troops haven't arrived yet. Modu chanyu sent four hundred thousand cavalry and besieged Gaudi in Deng Bai Mountain for seven days. At this time, the Han army could not cope with internal and external rescue, so Emperor Gaudi adopted Chen Ping's secret plan and sent messengers to bribe E Shi secretly and heavily. E Shi immediately said to modu chanyu, "The two monarchs should not embarrass and persecute each other. Even if we take the land of the Han Dynasty now, we can't live there after all. In addition, the monarch of the Han Dynasty was also protected by the gods. I hope you can see it clearly! " Modu chanyu made an appointment with Wang Huang and Zhao Li to meet him, but Wang Huang and Zhao Li's army didn't come. They suspected that they had any plans with the Han army, which was the only way to solve the encirclement. In order to prevent heavy fog, the Han army sent people to walk between Deng Bai Peace City, and the Huns didn't know it. Chen Ping then asked Gaudi to order the soldiers to take two arrows with strong crossbows. The arrow went out against the enemy and rushed out of the corner. After Gaudi came out of the encirclement, he wanted to gallop, but his servant Teng Gong Xia Houying insisted on walking slowly. In the city of peace, Korea's big brigade also arrived, and tarkan went away. The return of the Han army made Fan Kuai stay and settle down. Soon, the Huns attacked Daiguo again. Liu Qian, the acting king, abandoned the country and fled. Emperor Gaudi pardoned his sin and changed him to the marquis of Yang.

Gaudi returned to Guangwu and pardoned Liu Jing, saying, "I didn't take your advice, so I was trapped in Pingcheng. I have killed more than a dozen former messengers! " Then it was sealed to Liu Jing's 2,000 households, with the title of Houguan, called Hou Jianxin. Gaudi returned to the south, passed Quni County, and said, "What a spectacular county! I have traveled all over the world and have only seen Luoyang and here. " I'm going to bend my back and enjoy the tax of the county. Chen Ping followed Gaudi's expedition to the north, and * * * staged six coups, each time adding a fief.

Xiongnu modu chanyu invaded the northern border of Han Dynasty many times. Gaudi was worried and asked Liu Jing about the countermeasures. Liu Jing said: "The world has just settled down, and soldiers are still very tired from military affairs. It is not appropriate to conquer modu chanyu by force. But we can't convince him with righteousness just because he killed his father and married his father's concubine and established authority with violence. Only one trick can be used to make his descendants a vassal of the Han Dynasty for a long time. I am afraid that your majesty can't do it. " Gaudi asked, "How?" Answer: "If your majesty can marry his eldest daughter, princess royal, and give him a generous salary, he will certainly admire the Han Dynasty, and E Shi, who takes the princess as the Xiongnu, will also have a son, which must be a prince. Every year, His Majesty consoled them frequently with things that were superfluous in the Han Dynasty but lacking in Xiongnu, and took the opportunity to send glib people to satirize and explain etiquette. In this way, modu chanyu was the son-in-law of the Han dynasty when he was alive; After his death, your grandson Attila Khan succeeded to the throne. Does grandson dare to compare with grandpa? We can defeat the enemy without fighting and let the Huns surrender gradually. If your majesty is reluctant to enlarge the princess's departure, it is useless for the imperial clan and harem women to pretend to be princesses, and they know it and refuse to respect intimacy. " Gao Di said, "Good!" I want big princess to go. But Lv Hou cried day and night and said, "I only have a prince and a daughter. Why should I throw her to the Huns! " Gaudi couldn't let go of big princess after all.

Soon, Gaudi found a woman named big princess in the people's home, married her to Hun Khan, and sent Liu Jing to conclude a marriage contract.

Liu Jing came back from the Huns and said, "The Huns' Henan White Sheep and Loufanwang tribe are only 700 miles away from Chang 'an, and the light cavalry can reach Guanzhong in one day and one night. Guanzhong has just been looted by war and is short of people, but the land is fertile and should be rich. When the princes first rose, the prosperity of Zhao, Qu and Jing could not be separated from Tian's family of Qi. Now your majesty, although the capital of Guanzhong has been built, actually the population is not large, and the six eastern countries all have powerful families. Once something happens, you can't lie on the pillow. I suggest that your majesty move the descendants of the old six countries, local strongmen and famous families to live in Guanzhong, so that the country can guard against the Huns. If the old governors change around, it will be enough to incorporate an army into the East Expedition. This is the way to strengthen the roots and weaken the last branches. " Gaudi said, "Yes." In November, Zhao, Qu, Jing, Huai and Tian families and strongmen were ordered to move from the old state of Qi and Chu to the Guanzhong area, and settled in convenient farmland houses, with more than 100,000 people.

After years of war, the people's livelihood in the Han dynasty has been sluggish and the national strength has been weak. It can't resist external threats, so it can only take expedient measures to stabilize the other side and develop itself first. This tells us that infighting and war can only benefit foreign enemies. For us personally, unity and cooperation is a character, a strategy and an ability.
