Those who violate our strong man will be punishable even though they are far away. Chen Tang expedition to the Western Regions to stabilize the frontiers of the Han Dynasty.

Today we are sharing the 35th episode of "History of Famous Generals": Chen Tang, Zi Zigong, Han nationality, Shanyang Xiaqiu (now north of Yanzhou, Shandong), Western Han Dynasty general. At the time of Emperor Han and Yuan Dynasty, he served as deputy captain of the Western Regions. He used to impose an imperial decree to force Gan Yanshou, the capital of the Western Regions, to send troops to attack and kill the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shanyu, who was opposed to the Western Han Dynasty. Guanzhi Shengsheng Xiaoli, engaged in Zhonglang, sealed off Neihou, died in Chang'an. After Wang Mang took power, he pursued the posthumous posthumous title of Chen Tang as Po Hu Zhuanghou.

"Those who violate my Chinese will be killed even if they are far away", the lines in the movie "Wolf Warrior 1" are quick Blast the north and south, ignite people's patriotic enthusiasm. The famous general who really said this famous saying is Chen Tang of Dahan.

During the Emperor Xuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were in civil strife, and the five dans fought in their nests, all wanting to be the only master on the grassland.

Zhizhi Shanyu and Huhanxie Shanyu both wanted the support of the Han Dynasty, so they both sent their sons to Chang'an as hostages.

Later, Hu Hanxianyu met with the Han emperor as a courtier, and Zhi Zhidan took the land on the right of the Xiongnu from the rear.

Zhizhi Shanyu annexed three countries to the west, greatly increasing his power. He hated the Han Dynasty, hated the Han Dynasty for helping Huhanxie Shanyu but not helping himself, he began to humiliate the Han Dynasty by various means.

In the fourth year of the early Yuan Dynasty (45 BC), Zhi Zhidan took the opportunity of paying tribute to the Han Dynasty and asked the Han Dynasty to return his son as a hostage.

The Han Dynasty agreed and decided to send Minister Gu Ji to escort.

Escort is an agreed matter, now everyone is discussing where should be sent. Most people think that Zhizhi, even though he is still pretending to be a grandson, will definitely show his fangs when his son returns home. It should be sent to the border. If you go deep into the court of the Huns, you will definitely encounter accidents.

Emperor also means this.

But Gu Ji raised an objection. He insisted on escorting to the court of the king so that he could show the majesty of the great power. If I dedicate myself to the country, my great man’s benevolence and righteousness will be exhausted, and the Xiongnu will be under public opinion.

As you might expect, the envoys of the Han Dynasty were brutally murdered by Zhi Zhidan when they arrived at the Xiongnu.

Zhizhi is also self-conscious, afraid that the Han Dynasty will send troops to retaliate. Xie Shanyu was beside his bed, and he fled west to the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are vast. Although there are so many countries recorded in history books, they are actually small countries. In some countries, there are even tens of thousands of people coming to the Communist Party.

After Zhizhi arrived in the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions were forced by his prostitution, and they all looked forward to his horse. King Kang Ju also married his daughter to Zhizhi.

Since then, Zhizhi has run rampant in the Western Regions, and built a city for himself. The Western Regions countries have a slight imperfection and immediately retaliate cruelly.

Zhizhi Shan Yuyuan is in the sky, and now he thinks he has such a comfortable life in the Han Dynasty. He was too arrogant to whip him, so he was even more arrogant. He had already regarded the envoy of the Han Dynasty as an improper person.

Among them, Zhizhi Shanyu merged the three kingdoms of Hukai, Jiankun, and Dingling by force, and became stronger and stronger. First, the envoy of the Han Dynasty Jiang Naishi was imprisoned, and then the envoy Gu Ji was killed. Zhizhi Shanyu knew that he was suffering from the Han Dynasty, and feared that the Han Dynasty would send troops to retaliate, so he ran west to Kangju (now the northern border of Xinjiang to Russia's Central Asia). King Kangju respected Zhizhi and gave him his daughter as his wife. Zhizhi used his troops to attack the neighboring country Wusun several times and went deep into Chigu City (now west of Xiaoyi County, Shanxi) to kill the population and rob livestock. Wusun did not dare to fight back, but flee from a distance, so Zhizhi possessed a sphere of influence thousands of miles away. He considered himself the master of a great country and disrespected King Kang Ju. He killed King Kang Ju’s daughter in a rage. Hundreds of people, including the nobles, dismantled some corpses and threw them into the water in Dulai. At the same time, he sent envoys to Hesu, Dawan and other countries to coerce them to pay him tribute every year. Those small countries dare not refuse. The Han Dynasty also sent envoys to Kangju three times to ask for the corpses of the envoy Gu Ji and others. Zhizhi not only refused to give it, but also insulted the Han envoy and said in a mocking tone: "In distress, I wish to return to the strong man and send his sons. Servant." The Han Shi heard his illocutionary meaning and his ambition to replace the emperor. He was really arrogant.

Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou learned about Zhizhi Shanyu’s situation and sent troops to the Western Regions in the third year of Jianzhao (36 years ago).

Chen Tangwei "Shen Yong has a lot of thoughts, makes many strategies, and enjoys wonderful achievements." Whenever he passes through towns or In the mountains and rivers, he always climbed high and looked far away, carefully observed and remembered. This time I was going to the Western Regions with only one escort army, not a conquest army. When they left the country, Chen Tang said to Gan Yanshou: "Zhizhi Shanyu is fierce and brutal, and dominates the Western Regions. If he continues to develop, it must be a disaster for the Western Regions. Now he lives far away and there is no city to hold on to. There are no soldiers who are good at using strong crossbows. If we gather the soldiers from the field to defend the border, and then call the soldiers from Wusun and other countries to directly attack Zhizhi, he can't defend him, and there is no place to hide when he escapes. It's a golden opportunity for us to make meritorious deeds in a lifetime!" Gan Yanshou thought that his analysis was reasonable, and he said that he would ask the court to agree and act. Chen Tang said: "This is a bold plan. Those court officials are ordinary people. Once they discuss it, they will definitely think it is not feasible." Gan Yanshou considered that he should go through the formalities of the memorial request. At this time, he fell ill. Chen Tang waited day after day, and in his anxiety, he resolutely adopted measures to falsely spread the imperial decree to mobilize the troops of the Han Dynasty to mobilize the land and the soldiers of the Cheshi Kingdom. Gan Yanshou was taken aback when he heard the news on the sickbed. He wanted to immediately stop Chen Tang’s illegal actions. Chen Tang angrily held the hilt of the sword and screamed at Yanshou in a threatening tone: "The army has gathered, you kid. Do you still want to block the army? What kind of generals are you if you don't seize the fighters to attack?" Gan Yanshou had to follow him and led more than 40,000 soldiers from all walks and races, stipulated a unified command, and organized a branch team sequence. Head north with great fanfare.

Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang divided the army into six schools. The third school went to the South Road and passed Congling (Kara). (West of Kunlun Mountains) via Dawan; the other three schools take the North Road, enter Chigu, pass Wusun and Kang’s settlement, Chen Tang captures the relatives of Vice King Kangju and some nobles along the road. After explanation, they are willing to be guides and will Zhi Zhi The situation of support was introduced in detail. Then the army went straight to the edge of the water in the city of Zhizhi, and set up camp three miles away from the city. I saw colorful flags floating on the city’s head, and hundreds of armored soldiers climbed up and defended. Some waved to the Han army to tease. Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang ordered the soldiers to surround the city and killed and wounded the defenders with arrows. A match shot. When Zhi Zhishan got the news of the Han army's attack, he first planned to flee, because he suspected that the Kang Ju people had a grudge against him and that there were people who could respond to the Han army. But when he heard that Wusun and other countries also sent troops to fight, he felt desperate. He took some people out and returned, saying, "It's better to hold on. The Han soldiers come from afar and cannot attack for long."

When the Han soldiers attacked the city fiercely, Zhi Zhi Shan Yu wore armor and led his wife and concubines. Dozens of people boarded the tower together, and his wives and concubines also drew bows and shot arrows. The siege flying arrows shot his wives and concubines to death, and then shot him in the nose. Zhizhi became angry and went downstairs to ride back to his palace. The next day, Chen Tang ordered four soldiersAttacking with fire, and cheering with drums, the Han army broke through the surrounding Mucha with fireworks and took the opportunity to rush into Tucheng. Zhi Zhi Shan was surrounded by hundreds of men and women and a few officials, who had no resistance. The Han soldiers slammed Zhizhi to death. Military officer Du Xun cut off Zhizhi Shanyu's head level, rescued two Han Dynasty messengers from prison, and found out the papers and letters carried by the late messenger Gu Ji from the palace. The soldiers who entered the city searched for the enemy army, killed Zhizhi Shanyu's wives, concubines, princes, and princes, a total of 1,518 people, and captured 145 officials. In addition, more than 1,000 enemy soldiers were captured, and they were handed over to the small country troops that participated in the attack on Zhizhi.

After the victory, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang sent the eternal and energetic melodies to Emperor Han Yuan:

"When the ministers hear the righteousness of the world, they should become one. The Huns call Han Xie Shan Yu, who has been called the Northern Fan, but Zhi Zhi Shan Yu is rebellious and has not yet surrendered. .. Zhizhi Shanyu travels to the people tragically, and the great evil forces the sky. Chen Yanshou, Chen Tang will fight the righteous soldiers, line the heavens, Lai His Majesty the gods, yin and yang respond together, trap the enemy, behead the Zhi branch and below the king It is appropriate to hang the head in the barbarian’s residence to show thousands of miles. Those who commit a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!"

This victory ended the Hundred Years War between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu and avenged the humiliated Han envoys. Xue Hen increased the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions. After the war, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang immediately wrote a memorandum to the court, and sent them back to Chang'an along with the Zhizhi head.

Just as Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang led the soldiers to return triumphantly, the Xiaowei Si Li (law enforcement officer) in the DPRK also set off from Chang'an. They stopped Chen Tang on the main road and inspected him. It turns out that Chen Tang has always been greedy for money. After conquering Zhizhi City, a large amount of property was seized. Chen Tang hid a lot of gold and silver treasures privately. The insider reported the matter to the court when he was in the Western Regions, so the school guard of Si Li stopped the road to search and prepared to arrest. Chen Tang immediately wrote to the emperor and said: "I and the soldiers were not far away to kill Zhi Zhi Shan Yu. It stands to reason that the imperial court should send an envoy to comfort the army and welcome it. Now it is Si Li who is here to check and interrogate and arrest me. , Isn’t this revenge for Zhizhi?” The emperor ordered the withdrawal of Sili and ordered the county seat along the road to set up food and beverage lanes to welcome the victorious army across the border.

After returning to the dynasty, when discussing the merits, Zhongshu ordered Shi Xian and Kuang Heng to think that Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang Falsely preaching the imperial decree, committing serious crimes, justifying the merits, and not being punishable, is enough. If the noble reward is given, then future envoys abroad will rush to imitate, and there will be nothing wrong with the country. The emperor Yuan felt that it made sense, but he still wanted to commend the meritorious, so the matter was discussed without a decision, and he dragged on. Zongzheng Liu Xiang believes that it is unfair to treat Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang only with merits and demerits. He also wrote to the emperor, specifically commenting on the difficulty and significance of sweeping Zhizhi. He believed that Gan and Chen were "the king of the hundred barbarians, who took the soldiers of the city, went out of a hundred deaths, entered the extremis, and then went through Kangju, butchered the fifth city. , Holding the banner of the Marquis of She, cutting the head of Zhizhi, thousands of miles away from the county line, advancing the west of Kunshan, sweeping the shame of Gu Ji, making the achievements of Zhaoming, and frightening all the barbarians, without fear of shock. Hu Hanxie is alone in seeing Zhizhi. Punish, happy and fearful, the hometown is righteous, the chief and the guests, is willing to defend the north?, for many generations to be a minister. Make thousands of years of merit, establish peace forever, the ministers will not be great", he quoted the classics to prove it, and compared with the previous The heroes of the DPRK and the contemporary era will compare their views with each other.

So the Emperor Yuan issued an edict to forgive Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang for the crime of false transmission of imperial decree, and then let the ministers discuss the matter of awards. Shi Xian and Kuang Heng still adhere to their claims. However, the Yuan Emperor finally named Gan Yanshou as Yicheng Hou, and gave Chen Tang the title of Guannei Hou, each with three hundred households and one hundred jin of gold, and he worshiped Chen Tang as the school lieutenant of shooting sound and Yanshou as the school lieutenant of Changshui.

Although those who break my strong man will be punishable from far away, this famous saying will always inspire the Chinese sons and daughters to move forward, and the Chinese sons and daughters will always remember that if they fall behind, they will suffer greatly. Whenever the Chinese nation resists foreign enemies, remember this sentence In other words, a nation is born spontaneously, and history tells us: Only when the motherland is strong, the foreign nations will respect us forever.
