The "Xiongnu", the northern nomadic people who have been harassing China since the Spring and Autumn Warring States period. It was not completely eradicated until the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty had such a general who attacked the Xiongnu "Yanran Shile" in the north and created the same feat as Huo's "Sealing Wolf Juxu".
But such a hero was eventually forced to commit suicide, what is going on? Look at the first ancient puzzle boy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Xian, one of the most famous generals of the Han Dynasty, who lived an arrogant and uninhibited life.
Dou Xian's family has always been a famous and prestigious family in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although there have been some twists and turns, it has not declined. In his generation, his sister became the empress of Emperor Zhang of Han, and Dou Xian became prominent for a while.
Dou Xian's name was Guo Uncle, and he was actually the Great Han Ancient Puzzle Boy. He even went so far as to occupy the princess's house. Princess Qinshui's garden was occupied by him, but the princess also dared to be angry about it.
This matter was not discovered until Emperor Han Zhangdi passed by the princess's house. Emperor Zhang of Han was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. It was Dou Xian's sister who blamed herself for her sins and ensured that Dou Xian was safe and sound.
Although Dou Xian was fine, he was no longer reused by Emperor Zhang of Han. It was not until emperor Zhangdi of Han died and Empress Dou came to listen to the government that Dou Xian could not rise again.
He not only held a high position himself, but also pushed some good old people with a stable personality to important positions. In this way, no one in the DPRK can oppose him.
Dou Xian is an impatient person who will repay him if he has a vendetta. When someone had offended their family, he sent someone to cut off the other person's head. Someone dared to compete with him for favors, so he sent someone to assassinate him.
As a result, what Dou Xian did was discovered by Empress Dou. Empress Dou was very angry, and the consequences were still very serious. Not long after Dou Xian was proud, he was locked up again.
Dou Xian felt that his sister might not take care of him anymore. He decided to put his life to death and live again, so he asked Empress Dou to fight the Xiongnu. After all, the craft of beating people, he is more skilled than anyone. And it was this decision that also opened the most legendary experience of his life.
At that time, the Xiongnu were in a period of division between the north and the south. The Southern Xiongnu were pro-Han, and the Northern Xiongnu were anti-Han. Just at this time, the Northern Xiongnu were in civil strife, and the Southern Xiongnu wanted to take advantage, so they came to the old Han Dynasty for help. Dou Xian was then appointed as a general of the Chariot Riders, leading the Han Iron Horse, the Qianghu Cavalry, the Southern Xiongnu, and so on, and the three-way army surrounded and beat the Northern Xiongnu.
Dou Xian destroyed the Northern Xiongnu in the First Battle, the enemy army collapsed, and the Xiongnu Northern Danyu fled. Dou Xian led the army all the way and pursued the Northern Xiongnu until they reached the vicinity of Lake Sunol in Ubud. In this battle, more than 13,000 enemy troops were killed, and countless cattle, sheep and horses were captured. The Eighty-one tribes of the Northern Xiongnu, more than 200,000 people, fell in the wind.
After Dou Xian beat up the Northern Xiongnu fiercely, he also ran to Yanran Mountain, which was more than three thousand miles away from the Han Dynasty, and came to an ancient version of "visit here". He carved his own exploits on the stone and carried forward the heavenly power of the Great Han. He completed the feat "Yanran Shile", which countless famous generals dreamed of. This move is enough to compete with the famous Western Han Dynasty general Huo Fuyi's "sealing wolf Juxu".
Later, Beidan Yu wanted to surrender, so he sent his brother to ask for peace. However, Dou Xian felt that of course the other brother should come personally to talk about things, and only sent a younger brother over, obviously looking down on himself, so he refused to negotiate peace. Beidan Yu was forced to be helpless and could only personally go to the Han Dynasty to ask for peace. Who had thought that Beidan Yu was halfway through the road, and was secretly attacked by the Southern Xiongnu, and Beidan Yu was seriously injured and fled.
Dou Xian felt that this was the best opportunity to destroy the Northern Xiongnu in one fell swoop. He also sent a large army to conquer the Northern Xiongnu and destroy the Xiongnu Northern Danyu at Jinwei Mountain. In this battle, more than 5,000 enemies were killed, and Beidan Yu led the crowd to flee, not knowing where to go, and the Northern Xiongnu were destroyed.
After pacifying the Northern Xiongnu, Dou Xian began to flutter again. He was proud of his achievements, controlled the government of the dynasty, and monopolized power. Dou Xian installed all his family and cronies in important positions. Including his minions, he often bullied men and women, and did no evil.
In 92 AD, Dou Xian felt that he was now the boss of the Han Dynasty, but he lacked a name, so he intended to rebel. After Han Hedi heard about it, he felt that Dou Xian was not doing this properly, so he didn't have to pay too much attention to it.
Just as Dou Xianbanshi was returning to the dynasty, Han he and Emperor secretly ambushed people in the palace. When Dou Xian and a group of his cronies entered the palace, they were all taken down and sent to prison to be killed. In the end, Dou Xian was stripped of his post as a general, demoted back to his fiefdom, and committed suicide.
Dou Xian eliminated the threat of the Xiongnu in the north for the Eastern Han Dynasty and ensured the stability of the country. But he was a man of arrogance and arrogance, and with a little power, he forgot about it. He could have become a national hero and be admired by future generations. However, he was proud of his achievements, and eventually ended up committing suicide, and the fate of being scolded by people could not help but make people sigh.
