"Those who openly commit crimes against the Han people will be punished." Let Chen Tang tell you what is the confidence behind this sentence?

During this period, the movie Wolf Warriors II, which has attracted more than 5 billion yuan of domestic popularity, created a Chinese-style superhero in foreign battlefields, caused a sensation in the domestic movie market, and staged the box office myth of domestic movies, especially the sentence on the movie poster: "Whoever commits a crime against China, though far away, will be punished", which not only expressed the Chinese people's eager desire for the country's prosperity, but also made many people rise up for the country.

Many people know that "those who commit Han crimes will be punished far away" is a replica of the sentence "those who commit Han crimes will be punished far away". It originated in the Han Dynasty in the history of our country. At that time, it was a so-called foreign country, and it is still a foreign country today (now Chambul, Jiangbul Prefecture, southern Kazakhstan), and it won a great war against the northern Xiongnu Khan.

According to Hanshu? Fu Chang's Biography of Chen Duan recorded that in 36 BC, under the protection of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang, the vice captain of the Western Regions, recruited about 40,000 troops from various countries in the Western Regions and the settlement corps of the Han Dynasty, divided into two groups, isolated the northern Xiongnu branch, and killed them in Zhicheng (Zambur, Kazakhstan). When the Allied Forces sent Zhi Zhi Khan to Chang 'an, the capital of Han Dynasty, they also attached Chen Tang's tip-off letter, which read as follows: "I have heard a lot about the world's righteousness, so I should mix it up. 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! " In particular, the phrase "openly punishing Han Chinese criminals, though far away" has inspired the Chinese people so far.

When you see this exciting great victory recorded in history, I wonder if you know the reason behind the victory of the Han Dynasty at that time, which made Chen Tang say such hard words?

First, as far as the Han Dynasty is concerned, in the 70-year-long war with Xiongnu and other countries in the western regions, from the fall of Dawan, the chariot division and shache were destroyed, and the Xiongnu was gradually ousted by the king. Then in 60 BC, the Western Region was established in Wu Leiguo (now northeast of Luntai, Xinjiang), making all the countries in the Western Region between Cheshi, Shanshan, Wusun and Dawan in the east become. Even so, it didn't hurt the Huns.

Second, from the Huns' point of view, the defeat was unstoppable, and even the national situation entered a downturn. In the western battlefield, even Wusun, a small country to which he once belonged, could not beat him. In the eastern battlefield, it was defeated by the emerging Wuhuan tribe (the upper reaches of the West Liaohe River in Inner Mongolia), plus the grip? Khan is violent and murderous, which leads to domestic political turmoil. In 58 BC, Ji Houshan set out for Uhaanyehe alone and sent troops to defeat Yan? Khan. In the following years, the Huns scuffled. In 54 BC, when Uhaanyehe managed to destroy the other four Khan, his brother Tuus became a self-reliant Khan. From then on, the Huns split into two and entered the melee period of hegemony between the North and the South.

3. In 5 1 year BC, the Southern Xiongnu headed by Uhaanyehe was defeated and surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and was placed in the Hetao area by Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Zhi Zhi Khan misjudged that Huhanye would never return, so he took the opportunity to expand to the right, intending to destroy the mountains and reorganize the rivers and mountains. After he annexed Ilimuhan, the right land of Xiongnu, he heard that the Han Dynasty sent two generals, Han Chang and Dong Zhong, to escort Uhaanyehe with 16000 fighters. He didn't dare to go back to the imperial court in Mobei and turned to the west. After defeating Wu, the Northern Expedition and subsequent annexation of Wu.

Fourth, in 43 BC, after establishing a foothold in Jiankun, the Northern Xiongnu asked the Han Dynasty to return the prince who had been taken hostage. In order to strengthen the ties with the Northern Xiongnu and contain the Southern Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty sent Ji Gu to escort the Prince of the Northern Xiongnu to its temporary capital, Jiankun Wangcheng. Unexpectedly, the Northern Xiongnu beheaded Ji Gu, and the Han Dynasty decided to dispatch military forces from the Western Regions to help the Southern Xiongnu continue to attack the Northern Xiongnu. Unable to resist, Zhi Zhi Khan had to give up Jiankun City and continue to migrate westward. On the way, there was a cold current, and most of the entourage were frozen to death. In the kingdom of comfortable living, there are only three thousand people left.

Fifthly, after Zhi Zhi Khan arrived in Kangju, King Kangju respected him very much and made an alliance with his in-laws. Then, they joined hands to kill people everywhere. After winning a series of victories, Zhi Zhi Khan became proud and even began to occupy the magpie's nest. He issued a notice to the countries in the western regions, while trying to take the kingdom of Kangju as his own. Helpless, Kangju Wang began to quietly ask the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty for help.

Sixth, in 36 BC, after Gan Yanshou, a captain of the Western Regions, and Chen Tang, a vice captain, received the message of Kangju Wang for help, Gan Yanshou reported to the court that Chen Tang, who couldn't wait, mobilized more than 40,000 people from the Han Dynasty settlement corps and the Western Regions by false imperial edict in order to seize the fighter plane, and then marched north and south with Gan Yanshou soldiers to the city.

Seventh, according to Hanshu? Fu Chang's "The Biography of Intervention in Chen Duan" records that Zhi Zhi Khan planned to flee Zhi Zhi City after learning the news of the attack by the Han army. When he heard that Wu Sun and others had also sent troops, he already felt cornered. Coupled with his luck, he thought that the Han army from afar could not be attacked for a long time, so he led the people back to the city to hold on. Tancheng built by Huns is a earthen city surrounded by fences. Under the fire attack of the Han army in all directions, it was quickly broken. Judging from the later results, the Coalition forces shot and killed dozens of Khan's wives and concubines. After entering the city, they killed 15 18 wives and titles of princes and ministers, captured 145 officials alive and captured more than 1000 enemy soldiers. The total number of Huns in Zhi Zhi is about 3000. In the face of 40 thousand troops, the strength of this angry and helpless 3 thousand people is already very weak. In this battle, Zhi Zhi Khan was killed, which ended the division between the north and the south of the Xiongnu, and also meant the demise of the northern Xiongnu, further consolidating the northwest frontier of the Han Dynasty.

Strong fortresses are always broken from the inside.

Chen Tang was able to win, in addition to his superb command art, Wang Kangju's domestic help, and the joint forces of the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, which had absolute advantages over the northern Xiongnu, mainly because of the consumption of the Xiongnu's own infighting, the military loss caused by the bad weather during the long-distance migration, and Zhi Zhi Khan's strategic decision-making mistakes, which led to his failure to cooperate well with friendly countries. Finally, he eventually became a lone fighter, caught between inside and outside.
