The mysterious Loulan Ancient Kingdom
Loulan is only a small country located in the western region, one of the thirty-six countries in the western region, the area of Loulan is very small, the total population of the country is only fourteen thousand people, even a decent army can not be formed, but Loulan is located in a very good geographical location, located in the Silk Road, to the east can reach Dunhuang, to the west can reach Ruoqiang, and the end, and the entire Loulan ancient country is still sandwiched between the Han and the Xiongnu, belongs to the buffer zone. The location of Loulan is the same as that of Hangu Pass in the Qin State during the Warring States period, and it is extremely important from both a military point of view and from the perspective of economic development.
The mainland's record of the ancient kingdom of Loulan first appeared in Sima Qian's "Records of History", but the history only mentioned a mouth, and did not explain in detail, only that there was such a country in the western region. The detailed record of the ancient kingdom of Loulan appears in the "Book of Han and The Tale of the Western Regions", which records: Shan Shanguo, whose real name is Loulan, Wang Zhi is in the city of Mud, going to Yangguan for 1600 miles, and going to Chang'an for 6,100 miles. Fifteen hundred and seventy households, fourteen thousand one hundred mouths.
Many descriptions of the ancient country of Loulan are mostly based on this passage in the Book of Han, but the description of the geographical location is too vague, so in the past thousand years, the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan have always been a mystery. Until the beginning of the 20th century, when China was in the midst of an unprecedented century-old disaster, a Swedish expedition team came to the vast desert in the west and found the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan that had long been eroded by the wind and sand, and only the ruins and walls of the ancient country of Loulan, which had disappeared for a thousand years, reappeared in front of the eyes of the world.
In 1981, the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the mainland found a female corpse in Lop Nur in Xinjiang, and after identification, it was found that it was an ancient corpse that remained for 3800 years, and this woman was deduced that it should be a Loulan ancient chinese. The loulan ancient country buried by the wind and sand, the loulan ancient country that only existed for 800 years, her mystery is gradually being unveiled.
With the gradual summarization of the information found in various aspects at home and abroad, the ancient country of Loulan began to become clear, and combined with historical materials, more and more stories about the ancient country of Loulan began to be presented to the world, and people gradually understood why so many literati and inkers had to keep chopping Loulan.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slashed Lou Lan
The conflict between Loulan and the Han people, or the story of the occurrence, is mainly concentrated in the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty. In fact, the land area and population of the ancient country of Loulan cannot be put in the eyes of the Han nationality, let alone the eyes of the Han, and the reason why Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty clashed with Loulan was entirely because the king of Loulan himself died.
The geographical location of the ancient country of Loulan is very special, as mentioned above, the ancient country of Loulan is located at the key point of the Silk Road, and it is also sandwiched between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. After Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, the Silk Road was opened, and the ancient kingdom of Loulan began to become hot.
Before that, Loulan had always been a vassal of the Xiongnu, because the strength was too good, so it could only be a thug of the Xiongnu, and the King of Loulan was not without resistance, he had united with the Yue clan against the Xiongnu, but under the sword of the Huns, there was no resistance at all. Since you can't resist, you can only obediently obey orders. During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the ancient state of Loulan did not deal with the Han Dynasty at all, only knowing that the Huns' sabers were sharp, but they did not know that the Huns were also afraid of the Han's soldiers. Unaware of the national strength of the Great Han, king Loulan helped the Xiongnu to keep robbing the Han caravans on the Silk Road, and under the constant death of the king of Loulan, he finally angered Emperor Wu of Han and ushered in the 700 iron horses of the Great Han.
In the third year of yuan feng, with the han envoys killed and the Han caravans robbed, Emperor Wu of Han finally couldn't help it, and wanted to help King Loulan open his eyes and let him know what is called the Han Iron Horse. The Xiongnu were all frightened by the Han Dynasty, and the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan was no exception, and Zhao Baonu and Wang Hui rushed straight to the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan with 700 iron horses, and easily captured the King of Loulan to Chang'an City. Chang'an City and his party gave a great shock to the King of Loulan, although the Xiongnu were powerful, but only the saber was sharp, but the Great Han was completely another country, the majestic Chang'an City, the elite Han Iron Horse, the King of Loulan was completely frightened, he could not provoke the Xiongnu, but even more could not afford the Great Han.
Emperor Wu of Han did not embarrass King Loulan, and within a few days he released King Loulan back. After returning home, King Loulan had seen the strength of the Han Dynasty and did not dare to rob the Han caravan, but the matter did not end like this. The strength of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu is very strong, not a Loulan ancient country can afford to provoke, no way, the King of Loulan sent one of his two sons to the Xiongnu, one to the Han Dynasty, let the two sons as protons, in exchange for peace.
The Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu all by wei qing and Huo to go sick two generals, but after the Mobei War, although the Xiongnu were crippled, but Wei Qing and Huo went ill also died one after another, after Wei Huo, the Han Dynasty for a time there was no general who could fight, helplessly, the Han Dynasty could only change its foreign policy, began to focus on defense, and did not launch a war on the outside world for more than ten years. The change of the Han Dynasty Loulan Wang also saw in his eyes, and after a long time, he thought that the Han Dynasty had declined, so he began to hijack the Han caravans again.
Emperor Wu of Han was already in his twilight years at that time, and he did not intend to use his sword against Loulan in his heart, but he did not expect that King Loulan would die again and help the Xiongnu attack the Han people, resulting in heavy losses in Li Guangli's western expedition. There was no room for negotiation in any conflict that rose to the army, and Emperor Wu of Han once again invited King Loulan to visit Chang'an, at which point King Loulan realized that the Han Dynasty was still so powerful that he could not afford it. This incident can also be called Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
From this history, it can be seen that the ancient country of Loulan is actually very weak, but it is often repeated, of course, this is also a helpless move, and weakness is the original sin. Loulan is located in the middle of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, and occupies the key point of the Silk Road, both sides will not make Loulan easy, the King of Loulan does not turn to the Xiongnu, he will turn to the Han Dynasty, but the Han people's "Zhihu" against the King of Loulan does not have the Huns' saber deterrence, so the King of Loulan chose to defect to the Xiongnu and betray the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han cut Lou Lan er, and finally hurt Lou Lan, this year's King of Lou Lan has never fought against the Han Dynasty again, but Emperor Wu of Han Er beheaded Lou Lan is not the sword cut Lou Lan that later generations of literati and inkers aspire to.
Fu Jiezi cut Lou Lan for a thousand miles
In later generations, whether it is Li Bai or Wang Changling, what they say about Chopping Loulan is actually Fu Jiezi Qianli Chopping Loulan. King Loulan, who had been bullied twice by Emperor Wu of Han, did not fight against the Han Dynasty again, but his son embarked on the road of opposing the Han Dynasty.
As mentioned earlier, the king of Loulan sent a proton to the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, and the Loulan proton who came to the Han Dynasty like his father, liked to die, the Han people were tolerant, and the Loulan proton was given preferential treatment after the Han Dynasty, which gave this proton an illusion, he was strong in the Han Dynasty, others could not afford it, and the result became more and more wanton, and finally he was sentenced to palace punishment by Emperor Wu of Han. After the death of King Loulan, this proton also had the right to compete for the throne, but he had already been sentenced to palace punishment, so there was no way to return to Loulan as king, which made the proton of the Xiongnu take advantage of the loophole.
The Xiongnu were not as good at talking as the Han, and the Proton Of the Xiongnu saw the strength of the Xiongnu in the Xiongnu, and had already been frightened by the Xiongnu, plus the Xiongnu had always hated the Han, and Angui was also infected by the Xiongnu. After An Gui became the king of Loulan, he began to attack the Han people continuously, rob the Han caravans, and help the Xiongnu fight, and the Han Dynasty because of the death of Emperor Wu of Han, the national strength of the Han Dynasty declined, and Emperor Han Zhao did not intend to go to war with foreign tribes, for a time An Gui seemed to loosen the chains of evil dogs, constantly attacking Han people and killing Han envoys.
The Han Dynasty did not want to use swords and soldiers, and the King of Loulan did not stop, and the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the entire Western Regions became very tense. At this time, Fu Jiezi, who was serving as a horse supervisor, stood up and asked himself to send an envoy to Dawan, and after arriving in the Western Regions, Fu Jiezi frightened Lou Lan and Guizi, and frightened Lou Lan and Gui Zi with the big words that the army was coming, and successfully completed the mission. Moreover, this time, Fu Jiezi also successfully found out the temperament of King Loulan, laying the foundation for him to slash Loulan with his sword.
After returning to the Han Dynasty, Fu Jiezi asked Huo Guang for orders, and wanted to take more than thirty of his envoys to Loulan again and kill the king of Loulan. This request was not granted by Emperor Han Zhao, and in the end Huo Guang secretly ordered Fu Jiezi to send an envoy to Loulan.
Fu Jiezi sent an envoy to Loulan this time, and did not enter the border of Loulan, but just let people wait at the border and go to see the king of Loulan himself, because there was a contact, Fu Jiezi knew that An Gui loved money, so he brought a lot of treasure, used the treasure as bait, and successfully tricked the king of Loulan to the border. Then he gave King Loulan a little sweetness, took the dizzy King Loulan into another tent, and successfully killed King Loulan and made a meritorious achievement. This is the sword slash Loulan that future generations of literati yearn for.
summary
Fu Jiezi had many difficulties in cutting down Lou Lan, and a little carelessness was a disaster, first of all, he acted disobediently and was not approved by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, although there was Huo Guang's order, once he failed, Huo Guang would absolutely push him out. Secondly, although Lou Lan is weak, it is a country after all, and it is no longer a bold person to go to another country to kill the monarch of another country. Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin, and when he failed, he was still talked about, and Fu Jiezi cut Lou Lan was not under Jing Ke. Therefore, later generations commented on Fu Jiezi and said that there was only one such merit. Later generations of Li Bai Wang Changling and others had the heart to cut Lou Lan, but there was no opportunity to cut Lou Lan, let alone the possibility of success.
