What did you do, the king of the ancient Loulan country, why didn't you break Loulan and never return it?

Hello, everyone, I’m the Return of Yan, a woman who likes to watch historical stories, just want to tell what she knows, if you like history, please follow me, you can let me know more unique historical knowledge.

If you do not break the Loulan, you will never return it. It is a poem written by the famous Tang Dynasty frontier poet Wang Changling.

从军行

Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, the isolated city looks at Yumen Pass.

Huang Sha wears golden armor for a hundred battles, and will not return it if he does not break Loulan.

But readers should know that when Wang Changling was born, the ancient country of Loulan had already perished sixty years before he was born.

The ancient country of Loulan is Shanshan, a small country, but its geographical location is rather unique. It is located on the Silk Road and is the only way to the Western Regions. It happened to be sandwiched between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

The Loulan Kingdom in the Han Dynasty was a two-faced sect. It was subordinate to the Han Dynasty and sometimes even informed the Xiongnu.

In fact, it now seems that the ancient Loulan country at that time must be very difficult to survive in the cracks, both sides are stronger than it, and neither side can be offended.

The Han Dynasty must pass through Loulan to attack the Huns, and the Huns must pass through Loulan when they come to harass the Han Dynasty. In this way, both the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu woo the ancient country of Loulan in all aspects.

During Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy to Dayueshi. Since then, he has sent envoys to various countries in the Western Regions to form alliances. When these messengers passed through Loulan, Loulan killed the messengers under the pressure of the Huns. Emperor Wu of the Han was furious and finally sent troops to solve Loulan by force. As a result, Loulan lost without a fight and obediently sent Prince Loulan to the Han Dynasty as a hostage. At the same time, Loulan also sent a prince to the Xiongnu, expressing his neutrality and impartiality between the Xiongnu and the Han.

After the death of the old King Loulan, the proton of the old king, the eldest son of the old king, under the control of the Xiongnu, returned to Loulan and became the king. In the following years, although the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu remained superficially It was calm and stable, but when some envoys sent by the Han Dynasty went to the Western Regions to pass through Loulan, Loulan was not pro-Han, nor provided guides and drinking water. The reason given by Loulan was that the envoys had abused the guides. (This reason now seems to be a little far-fetched. The envoys of the Han Dynasty abused the guide. If there is really abuse, it is also an isolated phenomenon. In the desert, unless you don’t want to live, you must abuse the guide.)

During this period, Liu Fulin, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was in power. Huo Guang was the general. A diplomat named Fu Jiezi told General Huo Guang that Loulan was fickle many times and should be punished. I volunteered to assassinate him. In this way, I established the prestige of the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, Huo Guang sent Fu Jiezi with a large number of precious gifts, gold and silver jewelry and a team of elite soldiers to the Western Regions, and declared that this trip had made a special trip to reward the dependent countries. In fact, Fu Jiezi was sent to assassinate King Loulan.

Fu Jiezi ambushed under the cloth of the post house and invited King Loulan to a banquet in the post house. He wanted to reward King Loulan. King Loulan was still greedy for money, and he had no precautions. Fu Jiezi and the two guards took advantage of the situation and killed King Loulan. (This King of Loulan is called Qiangui)

The Western Han Dynasty will soon marry the prince who was a proton in the Han Dynasty (the younger brother who tasted the return) and send a beautiful woman back to Loulan to inherit the throne, but this new The king was timid and fearful of being assassinated by the Huns. Emperor Zhaodi of Han (Liu Fulin) finally sent troops to garrison the territory of Loulan. Thus has absolute initiative in the Western Regions. It was also during this period that Loulan State was renamed Shanshan State.

It is said that until the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were very few documents about Loulan, and the ancient kingdom of Loulan mysteriously disappeared.

Loulan country has always been capricious. Many poets use Loulan to represent the border and the enemy. Many people say that Loulan is used to represent meritorious deeds, but I think that Loulan should be a patriotic plot and symbol.
