Chapter 321
"Father, it's the child who is late and makes you suffer!" Li
Guanghong knelt in front of Li Shi, who had a vicissitudes of face and an obvious scar on his left face, crying bitterly and crying, this scar was shocking to look at, from the corner of the left eye to the root of the ear, almost even the eyes were cut
! ! Also, Li Guanghong also noticed that Li Shi walked with a limp, it should be that his foot was injured and lame, not only that, he raised up and touched the left hand on the top of Li Shi's head, and he also lost two fingers - thumb and index finger, from which it can be seen that Li Shixi fled thousands of miles until he was captured, and the battle he experienced was extremely fierce!
Wu'er suffered and so on, the scene is very embarrassing....
And Zhang Mingshan was on the side, and a middle-aged man in his forties, with a face that was not angry and self-threatening, his face was thin and cold, and his hair was a little gray, sitting with the guest of honor, silently watching the human tragicomedy after the reunion of father and son, relatively speechless....
During this time, the corner of Zhang Mingshan's eyes swept over the man several times, and he almost wanted to speak, but for some reason, he retracted back...
This man sitting in the main throne was Li Guanghong's distant cousin, the grandson of the Fei general Li Guang, the Han general Li Ling and Li Shaoqing, who fought a bloody battle against the Xiongnu's 30,000 cavalry with 5,000 pawns, and finally was captured in Junji Mountain, and he was now the right king of the Xiongnu, personally leading a tribe of 30,000 people, leading 3,000 cavalry, and was ordered by Shan Yu to herd in Beihai.
After Li Ling surrendered, at first he refused to solicit the Xiongnu Shan Yu, only serving as an empty king, neither offering advice, nor leading troops to fight, refusing to serve the Xiongnu, even so, the Xiongnu went up to Shan Yu, Down to the aristocratic generals, he was still very respectful to him, and the reigning Marquis Shan Yu at that time also married his daughter to him, even so, Li Ling still planned several escape operations, but unsuccessfully, but in the end, what came was the tragic news that his whole family was condemned from the Han Empire...
When Li Ling heard this bad news, his heart was like a knife and his resentment was unsettled!
From then on, he had no intention of returning to the Han Dynasty, and he was discouraged, intending to die in the northern wasteland. For the Xiongnu Shan Yu, he no longer refused to be a thousand miles, took over 30,000 tribes and the cavalry in the tribe, and went over with the Han soldiers who were captured with him, and then the first thing he did was to send his Han army brothers to assassinate Li Xu, who was killed by his entire family for the Xiongnu military training....
The soldiers and horses that Li Xu was training at that time belonged to the tribe of foreign qi, so the Marquis Shan Yu of the Dayan clan wanted to kill Li Ling, shelter him, hide him in the far north, and only after the death of the Dayan clan, he returned to Beihai to herd and guard.
Later, Li Ling, the right colonel, except for Li Guangli, who led 30,000 cavalry to fight against his hatred, still refused to lead troops to attack the Han land, but he was extremely brave and martial in fighting against the northern wildlings, and once set a brilliant record of winning a complete victory against 10,000 against 10,000 and killing countless enemies, which made the rest of the Xiongnu troops even more in awe of it.
After that, Li Ling only relied on 30,000 troops and 3,000 iron horses, single-handedly guarding the northern frontier for the Xiongnu, completing the difficult task that previously required tens of thousands of cavalry to complete, so his prestige among the Xiongnu tribes has even overshadowed most of the nobles, and he is second only to the existence of the left and right sage kings!
! Because Li Ling has always kept silent on the issue of the Han Empire, he did not harm the political interests of Wei Lu, the king of Dingling, but because he was a Han in a foreign land, he had a vague intention of watching and helping, and later Wei Lu designed to kill Li Guangli, and there was not no shadow of Li Ling behind it - Li Guangli indirectly killed his grandfather Li Guang and his uncle Li Dang, which can be called the feud of the Li family in Longxi!
In this way, he and Wei Lu barely reached a political alliance, and under the joint efforts of the two, they were a force that could not be underestimated among the upper aristocrats of the Xiongnu Empire, and the reason why Wei Lu dared to openly tamper with the fate of Fox Lu Gushan Yu and arbitrarily depose the establishment was the biggest reliance on Li Ling behind him....
Zhang Mingshan looked at the man in front of him who was wronged by the blood sea, and did not know what to say, standing on the general righteousness of the country and the nation, Li Ling is a sinner, especially because of his personal vendetta, in the battle against Li Guangli, he committed an unforgivable crime against the Han army, and the Han family who died because of him and was captured as a slave because of him, I don't know how many
! ! However, if from the perspective of the cause and origin of the matter, we have to sympathize with him, he fought bloody battles for the country abroad, was faithful to his duties, and after exhausting all possible means, he was really unable to return to heaven, and only then surrendered to the Xiongnu, even if it was a crime, it was his own business, and what to do with his parents, brothers, and the old and young
of the family???
?From this, under the name of the Hanwu Emperor Hewei, it is inevitable that he will be mean and unkind...
Sima Qian, only because Li Ling said a fair word, corrupted the punishment; the general Gongsun Ao, because his wife was implicated in the witchcraft case, was beheaded and died, and the whole family was destroyed; the great general Zhao Ponu was exterminated because of the implication of the witch curse; they all said that the tiger poison did not eat the son, and even the crown prince Liu Zheng and the empress Wei Zifu, who had been in Xiangpu Yimo for 37 years, were forced to commit suicide because of this....
Zhang Mingshan thought about this, let out a long sigh, and said with a sigh
: "Li Shaoqing, you and I don't have to be like this
!" "You are not a Hanchen, I am not ordered by the emperor, I am not here to persuade you to return to Han, nor am I here to talk about serving the country!"
However, although
we are not Han Chen, we are Han Chinese, and although we have not received the favor of the emperor, we are all Huang and Yan Hou!" "Even if you and I live in a foreign land and are foreign ministers, we must not forget the responsibility of spreading the teachings of China and Xuanhua by all sides!"
Li Ling listened to Zhang Mingshan's words, his whole body was shocked, and then looked at him suspiciously, Zhang Mingshan smiled slightly, dipped his hand in tea, bent down on the table next to Li Ling, drew a symbol, Li Ling looked at it, raised his hand in shock, pointed at Zhang Mingshan, his lips trembled several times, and finally he couldn't say anything....
......
One day in early summer in 83 B.C., a few uninvited guests came to a low wooden house on the southern shore of the North Sea made of wooden walls and a felt roof.
These uninvited guests, except for the man who took the lead, were all dressed as Huns, and they came to visit the owner of this log cabin, an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes.
These Xiongnu dressed people each reported their true identities, the old man was immediately delighted, and quickly let his wife boil water and make tea, the so-called tea, it looks like some dead yellow leaves, but everyone is not impressed, gladly and respectfully accepted, and even exaggerated the good taste....
This old man is Su Wu in the "Han Su Wu Festival". And that wife was the Xiongnu woman who accompanied him through the difficult years on the shores of the North Sea, and the slave girl who was given to him by the upper generation. It's a pity that this woman not only doesn't even have a name, Su Wu and she also gave birth to a son, named Su Tongguo, until today, even the fact that she once existed was known by posterity through Su Tongguo, a mixed-race son.
Su Wu, Ziqing (字子qing), a native of Duling, his father Su Jian had accompanied Wei Qing on three expeditions against the Xiongnu and was awarded meritorious service, while Su Wu was protected by his father and appointed Langzhong.
In the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty, Marquis Shan Yugang ascended the throne, prayed to the Han Empire for peace, and asked for peace, and Su Wu was ordered to send an envoy to communicate about the matter. However, when Su Wu arrived at the court of the Hanhai King, due to the general opposition of the Xiongnu nobles, and because Marquis Shan Yu repented, he was ready to send Su Wu back to Han, and at this time, one of Su Wu's subordinates participated in an attempted coup d'état of the Xiongnu, so he was detained and forced to surrender!
Mainly because of the strength of the Han Empire at that time, the Xiongnu admired the Han Dynasty officials very much, thinking that these people had some kind of secret to make the country strong, therefore, the surrender of these Han people was related to the national fortune of the Xiongnu, and the military generals who were captured before were all military generals, and it was difficult to get a civil servant, or a close minister of the emperor, then it could not be easily let go!
Shan Yu had to exile him to the North Sea to herd sheep, and the sheep given to him were rams. Shan Yu also told Su Wu that he could return to Han when the ram laid cubs. This is tantamount to telling him that he can only die in a foreign land in this life.
Therefore, Su Wu held a hairless Han envoy's staff and stayed on the North Sea for seventeen years
! Although Su Wu was a civil servant, he had learned a lot after many years of exile!
The ram naturally could not give cubs, and could only raise less and less, so for the sake of livelihood, Su Wu not only learned to weave nets and fish, but also learned to set up bows and crossbows to hunt. King Yu Jin once came to the North Sea to herd and saw Su Wu's fishing and hunting tools, and was very surprised, and after ordering all the people to learn it, in exchange, he rewarded him with a lot of cattle, sheep and livestock, and Su Wu's life has improved a little until now, and it is no longer precarious!
However, within a few years of such a good day, Su Wu's cattle were successively snatched away by Ding Zero and other tribes who were enemies of the Xiongnu, and his life was once again poor and fishing and hunting until Li Ling's arrival.
Li Ling was sent to Beihai, on the one hand, to deal with the northern wild people and guard the frontier, and on the other hand, to let him persuade Su Wu to surrender.
Li Ling originally did not want to see Su Wu, not because the two had a bad relationship, but because the friendship was too good, Li Ling was ashamed of surrendering to the Xiongnu, and compared with Su Wu, he had no land. However, Shan Yu insisted that Li Ling go to visit Su Wu, hoping that Li Ling would persuade Su Wu to submit to the Xiongnu.
Li Ling persuaded Su Wu to surrender to the Xiongnu, but Su Wu diverted the topic and asked about his relatives, but Li Ling's answer was like a basin of cold water poured on Su Wu's head.
Li Ling said:
Your brother Su Jia killed himself because of the sin of great disrespect; your brother Su Xian committed suicide by taking poison because of his poor handling of the case; when your mother died, I sent her to the funeral before sending troops to fight the Xiongnu; and your wife had already remarried in the second year of your detention; as for the others, life and death are unknown.
Even so, Su Wu still insisted on his position and did not surrender the Xiongnu
to death! When Li Ling came to Beihai again and told Su Wu the news of the death of Emperor Wudi of Han, Su Wu was so grief-stricken that he vomited several liters of blood....
Li Ling has a hard time understanding Su Wu's feelings for Emperor Wudi of Han
! He has received military education since he was a child, and while studying, he also has to carry out military training, and he will spend many times with soldiers on weekdays, and his love and hatred are more direct and pure, so he can't understand the foolish loyalty of literati like Su Wu to the emperor, but from Su Wu's body, he vaguely understands why Emperor Hanwu deposed hundreds of families and respected Confucianism!
Now
, Li Ling brought Li Guanghong and Zhang Mingshan to see him, which actually implied a bad taste, he wanted to see what kind of effect a literati like Zhang Mingshan would have on a Confucian student like Shangsu Wu?
Zhang Mingshan seemed to have completely forgotten the words he had said to himself in front of him, "Although he is not a Han courtier, he has not received the favor of the emperor", but instead he is loyal to the king and patriotic with his mouth open, and his words are mixed with infinite reverence for Su Wu's restraint and loyalty to the Han family, and he has also made unreserved praise from death to death, steadfastness and unyielding, and even Mencius's "wealth cannot be adulterous, poverty cannot be moved, mighty cannot be yielded, this is called a great husband." "They all moved out, and the one who split his head and covered his face put it on Su Wu's head, and Li Ling who looked at him was stunned....
Although
Li Ling is more than thirty years older than himself, but this vision is not enough, like the mentor who sees people and talks for a long time, there are at least a dozen in his tribe, and they are even more excessive, and they can talk to you in Han, Hu, and Xiongnu respectively, just ask you if you are addicted
! ! Not to mention that Li Ling led 5,000 soldiers, and finally ended up in the name of a discredited betrayer, although he is still dressed as a Han family, he has been used by the Xiongnu physically and mentally; and his own gang of people, from head to toe, can not see a trace of Han taste, but with only a slight strength of 88 people, after two years, developed a force of 10,000 people, still like a dagger, inserted in the heart of the Xiongnu...
He remembered a passage that his mentor once said to him:
"To evaluate a person, do not look at what he says, but by what he has done!"
