In 103 BC, in the second year of the first year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the noisy city of Chang'an welcomed a group of exotic emissaries from the Wusun kingdom in the western region, who came this time hoping to marry the Han Empire.
Since Zhang Qian excavated the Western Regions, the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu have come and gone around the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, constantly tearing and playing games, and the countries of the Western Regions have sought survival in the gap between the two. Located in the Ili River Valley, Wusun is one of the largest countries in the Western Regions, and because it is on the choke point, it has become the focus of contention.
At that time, The King of Wusun, Xu Jing, had already married a Xiongnu princess, and in order to balance the two, he asked Emperor Wu of Han to marry a Han princess, and Liu Che gave this task to Liu Jieyou, the daughter of the King of Chu. Although she was the daughter of a royal family relative, Liu Xieyou was a sinner at that time, and his grandfather Liu Peng participated in the famous "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" and was defeated and killed, after which the entire family was shrouded in suspicion and guilt.
Princess Jieyou accepted the task, and after arriving in Wusun, she married Xu Jing and became the Right Lady, a status lower than that of the Xiongnu Princess Zuo Lady. To some extent, the two men's struggle for Xu Jing was a projection of Han-Hungary's influence on the Wusun State. Because she had not been able to conceive, but the Xiongnu princess gave birth to a son for the king, the princess of Relief was suddenly left behind.
However, soon after, a turning point occurred, and King Wusun died of a serious illness, and due to the young age of Ni Jing, he asked his cousin Weng Guijing to succeed him and wait for the prince to return to him when he was older. According to the custom of Wusun, Jieyou married the new king Weng Guijing. The two fell in love and gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and the princess of Jieyou was beautiful for a while, and Weng Guijing also obeyed her. Under her efforts, the Han Empire had frequent exchanges with Wusun's envoys, and continued to expand its power in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains through Wusun's influence.
The heat of the two countries finally angered the Xiongnu, and with the death of Emperor Zhao of Han and the great mourning of the kingdom, the Xiongnu sent troops to Wusun to blackmail them into handing over the princess of Jieyou and cutting off contact with the Han Dynasty. The situation in Wusun suddenly became extremely critical, and at this juncture, relieved his worries and resolute determination, while persuading Weng Guijing to organize an army against the Xiongnu, on the other hand, he asked for reinforcements from the Han Dynasty.
However, at this time, the political struggle in the country around the death of Emperor Han Zhao was in full swing, and the crisis in the western region was ignored. In the first two years after Emperor Xuan of Han succeeded to the throne, he did not act rashly against the Western Regions.
In such difficult years, Princess Jieyou shouldered the heavy burden and led the pro-Han forces in Wusun to desperately resist the attack of the Xiongnu and wait for the Han court to send troops.
In 72 BC, emperor Liu Qing of han xuan made his grandfather Liu Che the temple number, revealing his orthodox identity as Emperor Wu's concubine, and also expressing his recognition and promotion of his grandfather's hehe martial arts. In the same year, 150,000 iron cavalry were launched to fight against Hungary in five routes, which was also the largest war against Hungary in the two Han Dynasties and four hundred years. The right general Chang Hui was sent to Wusun to coordinate the joint combat mission between Wusun and the Han Dynasty.
The following year, Chang Hui led the Wusun army to defeat the Xiongnu, and the enraged Xiongnu king ting sent a heavy army to pounce on Wusun, encountering a rare blizzard on the way, killing and wounding countless people. Wusun and Wuhuan in the northeast took the opportunity to besiege the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu population was reduced by 30 percent, and the national strength was greatly damaged.
After this battle, the prestige of the Han Empire in the western region was unprecedentedly high, and Weng Guijing wrote to the Han court, asking for another Han princess for his eldest son. However, the gears of fate were confused at this time, and before the new princess could leave, Weng Guijing died. According to the testament of the previous king, ni jing, the son of the Xiongnu princess, became the new king of Wusun.
In order to maintain the influence of the Han Empire in Wusun, Jie Yu resolutely married Ni Jing again and gave birth to a son for him. Due to the tyrannical personality of Ni Jing, the people of the country complained bitterly, and the princess of Jieyou was also struggling to get along with him. Taking advantage of the ambitions of the Xiongnu princess's other son, Wu Yantu, Princess Jieyou consulted with the Han envoys who came to send envoys to Wusun, and the three conspired to set up a feast at the Hongmen Gate to assassinate Ni Jing. However, the assassination mission was wrong, and Mud was injured and fled, and a military battle was inevitable.
Ni Jing led an army to besiege JieYou and the Han envoys, and the Western Regions Capital Protectorate sent troops to rescue them. In order to appease Ni Jing, the Han Dynasty promised to behead the Han envoys involved in the operation and sent new emissaries to hear the case.
Wu Yutu took advantage of the chaos to spread rumors that the Xiongnu were about to send troops, and the pro-Hungarian forces in Wusun immediately rushed to the annexation, and the Western Regions Protectorate sent troops to deter, and the two armies were like arrows on the string.
At this time, another hero of the Towel came out to fight- Feng Yan, the maid who went to Wusun with JieYou, she married Wusun's right general, known as Lady Feng. Feng Yan went to the Wu just tu camp alone to lobby, backed by the Han Dynasty army, Xiao used his strong connections and successfully persuaded Wu Justu.
Emperor Xuan of Han was amazed by this heroine and recruited her to Beijing to learn about the whole process. Feng Yan's extraordinary temperament and diplomatic talent were admired by Liu Zhenjie, and he appointed Feng Yan as an envoy to the Han Dynasty, undertaking the task of sending envoys to the countries of the Western Regions, which is also a good story brought to future generations by the sons and daughters of the Western Han Dynasty.
After the mediation of Feng Yan and Princess Jieyou, the state of Wusun was subordinated to the Han Dynasty, and in order to take care of the interests of Wu On Tu, the Han Dynasty divided Wu Sun into two, with the eldest son of Xie Yu being the big king and Wu Yi Tu the little king, and the storm was calmed down.
In the year of heaven and day, the eldest son Yuan Guijing and the youngest son who relieved his worries left him one after another, and the grandson Xingjing was weak and incompetent, and most of the Forces of Wusun fell to Wu just Tu. At this time, the relief of worries is also nearly ancient, the leaves have returned to the roots, and the wanderer thinks of the family, and he writes to the Han Xuan Emperor hoping to return to the land of his homeland and eventually grow old Chang'an. The vicissitudes of his words made Liu Qian sigh.
In the same year, Xie You took her three grandchildren and embarked on the return journey to her homeland, and at this time, more than fifty years had passed since she took on the burden of her home country and went to a foreign land. I wonder how she felt when she re-entered Chang'an and stared at the familiar and unfamiliar Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace?
From the young girl of cardamom to the old man with white hair, she dedicated her most precious years to the Chinese nation, and single-handedly swept through the absolute realm to safeguard the interests and glory of the empire.
In the past, I used to be, Willow Yiyi, now I come to think, rain and snow.
She married as a sinner, but she never forgot her duty and mission, to relieve the worries of the Han, to relieve the worries of the family and the country, to be worthy of the homeland, to the ancestors, and to the children of the Han family!
