Emperor Yuan said: "Outuo is a tribe of Huhanxie. Huhanxie has been very respectful and sincere since he entered the court. I will not condone his subordinates and kill Han envoys. You can send people to investigate again."

By the way, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty had not heard from Gu Ji for a long time, so he summoned his prime minister Wei Xuancheng. said: "Outuo is the tribe of Hu Hanxie. Hu Hanxie Shanyu has been very sincere and sincere since he entered the court. I will not condone his subordinates and kill Han envoys. You can send people to investigate again." Wei Xuancheng That is to say, Han Chang, the commander of the abandoned chariot , and Zhang Meng, the Guanglu doctor, were sent to investigate the whereabouts of Gu Ji in the name of escorting Hu Hanxie Shanyu's servant.

The Western Regions Protector Gan Yanshou and the deputy Captain Chen Tang were very angry when they heard Zhizhi Shanyu had killed the Han Dynasty envoy Gu Ji, and they immediately discussed it. Gan Yanshou said: "Zhizhi Chanyu Jing dared to kill the Han envoys and go against our Han Dynasty; if he goes to the west now to Kangju, he will definitely not take our Western Regions Protectorate in his eyes." Chen Tang said: "Zhizhi Since Zhi Shanyu attached himself to Kangju, he has been recruiting troops and trying to attack neighboring countries such as Wusun . If his plot succeeds, we, the Han Dynasty, are in danger of losing their lives. The current plan is to strike first and take advantage of its wings. Before the feathers are full, we should unite with Wusun and other countries, send troops to besiege and capture Zhizhi alive. Moreover, Wusun and other countries have been trapped by them for a long time, so they will definitely come." Gan Yanshou said: "Zhizhi Shan should be killed for his crime. How can we do things without obeying the imperial decree? "Chen Tang said: "We are far away from the imperial court. How can we wait for the imperial decree? We will be outside and our orders will not be obeyed. As long as we act according to the opportunity and defeat the enemy, it will be beneficial to protect the country and the people. Even if he behaves in a pretentious manner, the court will not punish him. Moreover, my court sent envoys to Kangju to inquire about the whereabouts of Gu Ji and others. Zhizhi Shanyu refused to obey the imperial edict and even imprisoned and humiliated the envoys. They are openly enemies. For the current plan, we have no choice but to send troops to punish them." The two were discussing when the envoy from Bird Sun came to see them. The envoy said: "The Chanyu of Zhizhi once used the troops of Kangju to kill and plunder the people and animals of Wusun Chigu (Chigu City is in today's Kazakhstan ). Now he sent an envoy to tell the king of Wusun to send 4,000 men and horses for three years. The necessary saddles and grains, otherwise I will be punished. Wusun cannot support himself through taxes. If he has enough money to give to other countries, Wusun cannot afford to offend Zhizhi. "Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou asked Zhizhi again. Regarding the relationship between Zhi Chanyu and Kang Ju, the envoy said: "Zhi Zhi Chan Yu was arrogant and rude to Kang Ju's court and public, and killed Kang Ju's princess, nobles and hundreds of common people. King Kang Ju hated Zhi Zhi very much. For example, the capital of the Celestial Dynasty If the guards send troops to investigate, the people of Kangju will not be able to help Zhizhi." The envoy retreated, but Gan Yanshou was still hesitant. Chen Tang immediately sent out more than 40,000 field officials from the surrounding cities and soldiers from Wusun Dawan and other countries. They were divided into six routes. Three routes passed from the south route through Dayuan; the third route passed through Chigu on the north route and headed towards Kangju. . Soon, the soldiers arrived at Kangju Lizhi Branch City and set up camp three miles away. Chen Tang led dozens of cavalry to the front of the city to inspect the city defenses. He saw five-color flags on the city, hundreds of people wearing armor and climbing to the city, and more than a hundred cavalry. Galloping back and forth outside the city. The infantrymen held large shields and formed a "fish scale formation" at the city gate. The city has two layers, the inner and outer. The outer layer is made of large logs, and the inner city is built with rammed earth walls. The archers on the outer city are condescending and can shoot the opponent and prevent the attack. After Chen Tang finished looking at it, he thought that he had never seen such a strange defensive formation in the East. He ordered his sergeants to prepare more fire bows, rockets and fire starters to attack the outer city with fire. Prepare more ladders and then attack the inner city. The division was determined, and the attack was launched that night. As soon as the drums sounded, the Han soldiers were forced to the city and besieged on all sides. Suddenly, the outer layer of Zhizhi City caught fire, turning the wooden city into ashes. The Han army held shields in front and strong halberds and crossbows behind, approaching the city. A burst of arrows shot at the enemy on the Tucheng so that they did not dare to raise their heads. The Han army set up ladders and climbed up the city. head. The Kangju people turned against each other and responded internally. There was a sudden sound of killing, and the Huns soldiers fled after hearing the sound. The Han army entered the city, killed Zhizhi Chanyu, took over 140 prisoners alive, and surrendered over 1,000 prisoners. The envoys, silk books and other items brought by Gu Ji were found. Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang sent orders to close the army and reward soldiers from all over the world. King Kangju turned against him and responded internally, pardoning his crime of aiding rebellion. He placed the Zhizhi Chan on his head and sent it to various countries to show the public that anyone who was an enemy of the Han Dynasty would be punished. The Liqian people among the prisoners all kowtowed and begged to move inward, and were willing to become subjects of the Han Dynasty in return for not killing.After the Zhizhi was pacified, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang immediately went to the imperial court to request correction of their crimes and the resettlement of more than a thousand Liqian prisoners of war. Emperor Yuan convened all ministers to discuss Gan and Chen's memorial. Prime Minister Kuang Heng, Zhongshu Ling, Shi Xian, etc. thought that Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang acted in an unprecedented manner and should be held accountable. Zongzheng Liu Xiang and others thought that Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang would not worry about a single Han scholar, and would not have to fight for food. They would use the enemy's food to support the army, and they would achieve great success thousands of miles away, and shock the hundreds of barbarians. If the country eliminates harm and secures its borders, it should be credited with merit and rewarded. The two phases argue endlessly. Emperor Yuan issued an edict: "I will determine the merits and demerits of Gan Chen." However, Emperor Yuan had not yet made a final decision on the placement of Liqian prisoners of war. He once heard that when the late Emperor Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions, the Parthian king transferred the Liqianxuan people (referring to today's magicians) given by the Romans to the Han envoys. We know that Liqian is more than ten thousand miles away from China in the west. How to resettle this batch of Liqian prisoners of war will be discussed next time.
