At night in 95 B.C., Su Wu was sleeping outside the sheepfold. Suddenly, a Hun beauty got into his bed, and Su Wu said angrily: "My Han has a wife, it is impossible to be with you"! But the beauty was not angry, and asked him with a smile: "Do you still want to go back"? Su Wu was stunned for a moment.

Su Wu is the son of Su Jian, a general during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, born in a family of eunuchs, and has been influenced by the patriotic thoughts of loyalty to the monarch since he was a child. The Han Dynasty had been at war with the Xiongnu for many years, and both sides were deeply tired, so they decided to ease relations and sent envoys to the Xiongnu for peace talks. Su Wu resolutely asked for help and accepted this task of nine deaths without hesitation.
However, just before Su Wu and others arrived in the Xiongnu, a coup d'état occurred in the Xiongnu, the original Shan Yu was killed, and the new Shan Yu succeeded to the throne, and the situation was turbulent.
In order to stabilize his position, Xinshan Yu was determined to keep the Han Dynasty envoys to increase his strength. So he used money, beauties and other conditions to lure the ministers to join the Xiongnu. The envoys succumbed to the pressure, but only Su Wu was unswerving, preferring to kill himself rather than obey the Huns. According to historical records, Su Wu not only had a resolute attitude in the face of the lure of the Xiongnu, but also pulled out his saber on the spot and wanted to kill himself, so frightened that the Xiongnu Shan Yu hurriedly ordered treatment to save Su Wu's life.
The Xiongnu took a fancy to Su Wu's talent and tried to blackmail him in many ways, but Su Wu was tortured repeatedly but never yielded. Shan Yu detained Su Wu in a deserted place, and Su Wu spent 19 years of hardship in the Xiongnu. During this time, he starved and was thrown into an ice cellar, where he was subjected to great torture. It is rumored that Su Wu was frozen to death in the ice cellar, but fortunately, the Hun doctor used sheep dung to warm his life. However, Su Wu was unswerving and always adhered to the mission of the Han Dynasty.
19 years later, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne and sent a princess to reconcile with him in order to repair the relationship between Han and Hungary. Emperor Zhao of Han also offered to release Su Wu, but Shan Yu lied that Su Wu was dead. However, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty insisted on the important person, and Shan Yu was forced to agree to release Su Wu back. Su Wu finally ended his humiliating years in the Xiongnu and embarked on the journey home.
When Su Wu returned to his homeland, his relatives and family members were unrecognizable. The wife remarried, the mother had long since died, and the son was later executed. Everything has changed, but his loyalty to his country has not changed. Su Wu became alone again, and Emperor Wu of Han couldn't bear to let him suffer, so he ransomed his son Su Tongguo back to accompany him.
When Su Wu was in the Xiongnu, there was a Xiongnu woman who took care of him. The two married and also had a son. It is said that this woman was sent by the Xiongnu Shan Yu to persuade Su Wu to be attached. It's a pity that after Su Wu returned to China, the mother and son were never heard from again. Su Tongguo became the consolation of Su Wu in his twilight years. Su Wu's experience warned the people that they must always maintain the quality of loyalty and patriotism and not be swayed by foreign enemies.
Su Wu's experience has become a good story of the Han Dynasty and has been passed down to this day. He used his perseverance to interpret the indomitable spirit of the sons and daughters of the Han Dynasty. Su Wu is not afraid of power, and would rather sacrifice his ego to complete his mission, and his integrity will be admired by future generations. His story will inspire more people to brave the hardships and hardships and serve their country to the end. In history, there are only a handful of loyal ministers like Su Wu who are unswerving and willing to die, and his integrity and character are worth learning from every Han people.
After Su Wu returned, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him a grand commendation and promoted him to an official position as a reward for his loyalty and integrity. But after experiencing this catastrophe in life, Su Wu's state of mind has been very different. He no longer pursues glory and wealth, but only hopes to live a peaceful old age. What happened to Su Wu became a lesson in history, reminding rulers to deal with border troubles cautiously and not to start wars lightly, otherwise it would lead to suffering and disaster.
