In 101 BC, a team of marriage left Chang'an City under the escort of the brigade, and started the long journey westward. The princess who married was " Liu Jieyou ", and the husband she married was the king of Wusun Kingdom "Meng Xumi".
In fact, before Princess Jieyou , there was a big man who married Wusun . That is Xijun Princess . Unfortunately, Princess Xijun only went there for five years. She died of depression because she had to follow the ancient custom of Wusun’s remarriage. She was only 21 years old.
At that time, the positions of the Han, Xiongnu and Wusun were distributed in the shape of a Pin character. The Huns occupied the vast area northwest of the Great Wall in the middle. The Han and Wusun were located just east and west of the Huns. The Huns not only controlled the Western Regions and the Western Regions, but also often invaded the Western Han Dynasty and posed a threat to the security of the Central Plains dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han decided to join forces with Wusun to fight against the Huns, and the policy adopted was to marry.
Princess Xijun was the daughter of the clan. The King of Wusun married at that time was 海吧吧 , but the Huns were not willing to be outdone and married their princess to 海吧. Liejiaomi was adopted by the Huns since childhood, and Liejiaomi was afraid of the military power of the Huns. The princess of the Huns was named the left lady of , and the princess of , and the princess of , , and the Wusun regarded the left as the respect, which means that the Han princess was suppressed by the Huns.
What Princess Xijun cannot accept is still behind. The elderly Liejiaomi wants to pass on Princess Xijun to his grandson Junxumi . This is an ancient marriage custom on the grassland, but Princess Xijun believes that this is contrary to human ethics. Princess Xijun wrote a letter to Emperor Wu of Han and requested to return to her hometown. Emperor Wu of Han replied: " follows its customs and wants to destroy Hu together with Wusun. "
Princess Xijun who received the reply was sad and desperate, and soon died of depression at the age of 21.
In order to balance the Huns and stabilize their status, Jun Xumi, who had just come to power, thought of continuing to play the card of marriage with Emperor Wu of Han.
This time, Emperor Wu of Han chose a thousand choices, and for Jun Xumi, a princess with a completely opposite temperament and personality to Princess Xijun.
The new arrival Princess Jieyou also faced the original situation of Princess Xijun, was also named the right lady, was also suppressed by the Xiongnu princess, and was also indifferent to the Wusun Wang Junxumi, and missed his hometown the same.
However, in addition to her cheerful personality, she also has a strong belief that she personally strives to make a difference in Wusun through this marriage to restore her former honor.
Princess Jieyou was born in the royal family. Her grandfather Liu Wu was a prince of Chu . However, because Liu Wu participated in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he was defeated and died. Since then, the entire family has plummeted. Liu Jieyou once became a commoner in the streets of Chang'an .
In order to revive the family, Princess Jieyou gritted her teeth and endured humiliation and finally lived in Wusun Kingdom. However, a few years later, Wusun's relationship with the Huns became increasingly close. The reason was that the Hun princess gave birth to a son for Jun Xumi, while Princess Jieyou never came out. She did not feel dejected, but was patiently waiting for the turn.
At this time, Jun Xumi passed away, which means that Princess Jieyou is also facing a remarriage. Unlike Princess Xijun, who once died of sadness, Princess Jieyou accepted all this with ease.
It is this remarriage that is ordinary for Wusun, but it has promoted a new earth-shaking situation in the Han, Xiongnu, Wusun and even the entire Western Regions.
Princess Jieyou's new husband is called Weng Guimi . He is Jun Xumi's cousin and is also a politician who has done something on the stage of Wusun history. Weng Guimi has always admired Central Plains culture, so he is very compatible with Princess Jieyou.
Therefore, the relationship between Han and Wu became closer, and the two sides believed in history endlessly. At the same time, the exchanges between the Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions were becoming more and more frequent, and the Silk Road prospered for a while. The silk from the Central Plains became the clothing for the upper nobles of the Western Regions. As a dowry for the marriage, a group of farmers and craftsmen also followed the princess, and grain cultivation began to occur.
Princess Jieyou and Weng Guimi and his wife know each other and have three men and two women, both of which have had an important influence on the historical stage of Wusun! What is even more valuable is that her help and influence to her husband Jun Weng Guimi played an extremely important role in the relationship between Wusun and Han-Wu.
In politics, Weng Guimi resolutely changed his past swaying attitude between the Huns and the Han Dynasty and surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
Princess Jieyou's influence on Weng Guimi's relatives and Han immediately aroused hatred from the Huns. In 74 BC, the Xiongnu Chanyu dispatched a large army and drove straight into the hinterland of Wusun, intending to capture the city and plunder the land. He also sent a special envoy to Chigu City to show his power, demanding that Wusun hand over Princess Jieyou and cut off all contacts with the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would never give up his troops.
Chigu City is a palace built by Liejiaomi for Princess Xijun, because the Han Dynasty princesses were not adapted to the nomadic life on the grassland.
is facing threats. The pro-Huns faction in Chigu City began to fan the flames, advocating the satisfaction of the Xiongnu Shanyu's request and hand over the princess Jieyou. For a moment, people in the city were panic, some people fought and some surrendered, and Weng Guimi was in a dilemma for a while.
Princess Jieyou remained calm in the face of danger, persuaded Weng Jiumi during the day to stabilize the situation, and at night he wrote a letter to the Emperor of Han Dynasty for help. In her opinion, as long as this letter is delivered to the Han court, Han Emperor will send troops to reinforce, and all difficulties will be solved.
However, what Princess Jieyou did not expect was that the Han court was too busy to take care of itself at this moment. After the death of Emperor Zhao of Han, the powerful ministers Huo Guang New Emperor Liu He . The ministers were frightened every step of the way to establish whom they were the new king. How could they care about the dangers of the Wusun Kingdom thousands of miles away?
Princess Jieyou had to save herself. She attracted and persuaded some Wusun nobles who were on the fence, and focused on feeding the war horses and expanding the guards of the Han Dynasty. After struggling to fight, the Huns' Iron Cavalry was unable to enter Ili River Valley , thereby stabilizing the morale of the military and the people.
After Emperor Xuan of Han ascended the throne, Princess Jieyou and Weng Guimi jointly wrote a letter again, striving to join forces with Chen Wuhan, and attacking the Huns from both sides of the east and west, , which defeated the enemy's strategy, and lived up to the alliance of brides. At this time, in order to maintain their rule over the Western Regions, the Huns also acted quickly in the military. They used the Balikun grasslands as a base to farm and attacked Wusun, trying to control the area north of Tianshan and cut off the connection between Wusun and the Han Dynasty.
In 71 BC, after full preparation, the Han Dynasty sent 150,000 cavalry to attack the Huns. In this battle, Weng Guimi personally criticized the war. Chang Heng, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, followed the army with the Han Dynasty. Fifty thousand Wusun cavalry rushed thousands of miles to attack the Xiongnu royal court. In this battle, the Han-Ukrainian coalition won a complete victory and the Xiongnu's vitality was greatly damaged.
, but the Xiongnu Chanyu was not convinced. In the twelfth month of the year, he personally led more than 10,000 cavalry to attack Wusun, but unexpectedly, the sneak attack was not worth the cost, and on the way home, he encountered heavy snow that had not been seen in a century and suffered another tragic failure.
At the end of 70 BC, a severe snow disaster covered the entire territory of the Huns, and countless people and livestock were frozen to death. So some small tribes in the north of the desert took advantage of the situation and attacked the Huns together with the Wusun people, and the Huns were defeated.
In 60 BC, as the Huns surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the Han government established the Western Regions Protectorate, and the Western Regions were included in the Han Dynasty since then. Wusun also captured 40,000 surrendered soldiers from the Huns and became the strongest country in the Western Regions.
In 64 BC, Weng Guimi wrote to the Han court, hoping to establish the grandson of the Han court, that is, the eldest son born by Princess Jieyou and Weng Guimi, as his heir, and requested to hire a Han Dynasty princess as his wife to further strengthen the relationship between Han and Wu.In the end, Princess Jieyou's niece, Liu Xiangfu, was selected to become the new princess.
However, just as the marriage team arrived in Dunhuang in a mighty manner, Weng Guimi suddenly passed away. The Wusun Kingdom's position as the leader in the Western Regions was only maintained for ten years, and it ended with Weng Guimi's sudden death.
and the kinship engagement were also cancelled, and Princess Jieyou was once again in a state of entanglement. Weng Guimi's younger brother, the son of the Hun princess, took the opportunity to run to learn about the throne of Princess Yu's eldest son Yuan Guimi, took the lead and adopted a policy of pro-Huns to fight against the Han Dynasty. And asked Princess Jieyou to pass it on to him.
Facing Ni Mi's request, Princess Jieyou accepted his betrothal gift on the surface, but secretly planned a Hongmen Banquet, preparing to kill Ni Mi, but unfortunately the plan failed and Ni Mi escaped. Princess Jieyou immediately decisively killed Nimi's confidants, arranged the defense of Chigu City, and waited for Nimi to come and take revenge.
Ni Mi was scared and dared not act rashly. In 53 BC, Yuan Guimi's half-brother, wu, slaughtered and killed Nimi. In the Han Dynasty, Wu was established as the small Kunmo, and in the first year, Guimi was established as the large Kunmo.
In 51 BC, with the approval of Emperor Xuan of Han, Princess Jieyou finally returned to Chang'an. Emperor Xuan of Han received the Han princess who was nearly 70 years old in the size of a princess. Two years later, Princess Jieyou passed away.
