The great man will live forever

Chapter 169 The soul of the big man
Don't you hear that the time is like the whip of a horse, and the sun and the moon are like falling flowers and flowing water.

Time flies, and it has come to 100 BC, less than ten years after the witchcraft disaster. This year, the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Tianhan, also known as the first year of Tianhan. Ying Shao said: "There have been frequent droughts, so the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Heavenly Han prays for sweet rain."

In the Han Dynasty, there were many changes to the Yuan Dynasty due to disasters. This was already the eighth time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the Yuan Dynasty. It can be said that it was inseparable from the popular idea of ​​​​disasters and natural punishment in the society at that time.

Deposing hundreds of schools of thought, only respecting Confucianism, the connection between heaven and man, and the father and son of kings and ministers. This has been going on for more than 30 years. How can it not become the mainstream?
From the emperor to the common people, everyone is a loyal believer in this idea.

After the disaster, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was under tremendous pressure and was eager to quickly resolve the negative impact of the disaster in a simple and effective way.

He originally created the era name for the convenience of chronology, and started to change the Yuan name every six years. Therefore, the original purpose of changing the Yuan name was just for chronology.

But by 100 BC, due to droughts in the previous years, some people even died, so in the fifth year of Taichu, the Yuan Dynasty was changed to "Tianhan".

"Tianhan" refers to the Milky Way, Yunhan, and is also called Tianhe. The ancients believed that the water in the Tianhe River turned into sweet rain. It expressed Emperor Wu's good wishes to reduce droughts. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to break the time rules of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the same time, another major event happened this year. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a man named Su Wu as an envoy to the Xiongnu.

Su Wu was in the Huns and held the Han Festival for ten years.

The white geese flew up to Lin Fei, passing a letter in the air.

It's hard to shepherd sheep in the field, but the setting sun makes me feel sad.

If you are thirsty, you will drink the ice of the moon cave; if you are hungry, you will eat the snow in the sky.

It is far away from Shasai in the east, and is far away from Qihe and Liang in the north.

Li Lingyi cried, and tears turned to blood when she looked at each other.

This year, Su Wu was 30 years old. He was originally the son of Su Jian, the governor of Daijun, and served as a Langguan during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty due to his father's influence.

Gradually he was promoted to the supervisor of Zhizhong Stable. In the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty (100 BC), he was ordered to send Zhonglang General Chijie as an envoy to the Xiongnu.

There was another person named Chang Hui. He was recruited by the imperial court and appointed as a false official. He accompanied Su Wu, the general of Zhonglang, on an envoy to the Huns.

Chang Hui was a native of Taiyuan in the Western Han Dynasty. His family was poor and suffered many hardships when he was young.However, he has great ambitions and is constantly striving for self-improvement.

Without him, Su Wu would not have been able to return to Han Dynasty alive.

The wind is rustling and the water is cold. Once a strong man is gone, he will never come back. For Su Wu, it is difficult to come back.

On this day, the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, the sun is shining brightly,
"Come with me to meet someone." Liu Han looked at Shu Yuzhu.

"Su Wu?"

"You know me."

So, Liu Han and Shu Yuzhu took Xiong Er to wait for Su Wu outside Chang'an City.

"Why is the Marquis waiting for him here? He should come to see the Marquis. He is just a small lieutenant general."

Outside Chang'an City, Liu Han had been waiting here three hours in advance, and Xiong Er was getting a little irritable.

Who is Liu Han?The God of War of the Han Dynasty, the nephew of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Great Sima of the Han Dynasty, has been fighting for more than 20 years without a single defeat. He didn't even wait for him to see Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Today, he waited here for three hours for a man named Su Wu. Xiong I can't figure it out.

"I'm not waiting for anyone."

Liu Han is waiting for the soul of a nation and a person's indomitable spirit in the face of adversity.

"Not a human?" Xiong Er couldn't understand because he didn't know what would happen next, otherwise he would cry.

Liu Han has memorized the story of Su Wu since he was a child, but now he has to witness it with his own eyes. It is not just a historical legend, but it actually happened.

His experience and spirit fully reflect a person's feelings and spiritual pursuit of adhering to his faith and caring about his family and country.

No matter how big the predicament he was in, Su Wu never gave up. No matter who came to persuade him to surrender, no matter how he was coerced and lured, he always maintained his faith and firm spirit, worked hard to learn the culture and language of the Huns, and integrated into this harsh environment. .

He lives an unyielding and brave life, and is often appreciated and treated politely by nobles.Despite all the setbacks and hardships, Su Wu did not give up and eventually became a truly free man. His spirit is the soul of the Han nation and will shine through the ages.

"Ding ding ding!"

Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, Su Wu's carriage arrived, with more than a dozen people in front and an escort of hundreds of people behind.

"Let him come to see me and be respectful." Liu Han's eyes were calm, but his heart was not calm.

"promise!"

Xiong Er saluted and rode towards Su Wu's carriage.

In the pavilion, Shu Yuzhu looked at him, "Don't you want to change his fate? Maybe if you talk to Emperor Wu, he will go to someone else."

"If you change it to someone else, you have to either die or surrender. That would be too difficult. There is only one Su Wu in the Han Dynasty. Others cannot survive. This is the spirit of the Han Dynasty. After thousands of years, or even ten thousand years later, he, Su Wu, will still be alive. , living in the hearts of the world, in the blood and soul of the Chinese nation."

"Who is coming?"

Chang Hui saw Xiong Er coming and asked softly.

"Captain of the Great Sima's personal guard, Xiong Er, the commander of the Great Han Changfeng School."

Chang Hui was surprised. Everyone in the Han Dynasty did not know Liu Han. He was a living legend. He had never been defeated.

"I wonder what Captain Xiong has to do?" Su Wu quickly got off the carriage, crossed Chang Hui and saluted, and Xiong Er returned the salute.

"Da Sima is in the pavilion in front, please see Master Su."

Su Wu was a little surprised to learn that Liu Han wanted to see him. He quickly arranged his clothes and said politely, "Please lead the way, Captain."

Chang Hui and Su Wu came to see Liu Han.

"Meet Da Sima."

Liu Han looked at them. Su Wu was about 30 years old, with a beard. He didn't look old at all. He was tall, but his every move was very elegant. There was a special contrast. Chang Hui, who was next to him, was about 27 years old, with a Chinese character face. He looks a bit like a martial artist.

Liu Han has basically never seen them, because of one word, home.

"Don't be shy, sit down."

Several people knelt down on the mats prepared in advance, and Liu Han placed wine in front of them.

"If we go to the Xiongnu here, we may be in bad luck."

"Crash!" Liu Han said, pouring wine for them. Chang Hui looked very frightened. Liu Han was a huge figure to him, a living legend, while Su Wu was much calmer.

"Da Sima means that the Xiongnu may change his mind. Didn't he release all our Han envoys back and send envoys to say that they are willing to make good friends?"

"Things in the world can change in a blink of an eye. The Huns are changeable and cannot be trusted. Please pay more attention. This is my blood of the Huns. It will make you stronger."

"Da Sima is really a strange man. Waterwheels, horse iron hoofs, stirrups, curved shaft plows, and Xiongnu blood are all good things. In war, he is a famous general who will never be seen in history. I went to the Champion Restaurant once before to have a drink. I have endless aftertaste. I am lucky today. Drink again and thank Da Sima."

After Su Wu finished speaking, he drank the drink in one gulp. Chang Hui on the side was extremely excited and drank the wine in one gulp, "Ahem!"

It was obviously the first time for Chang Hui to drink this wine. She almost spit it out and her face turned red.

"Haha, your first time drinking?"

Liu Han smiled, Chang Hui felt a little embarrassed and apologized quickly.

"It's okay, it's like this the first time. I remember the first time I went to the battlefield. It was more than 20 years ago. I just killed a person. With a pop, the blood spurted out, several meters high, and it covered my face. They were all, people were almost scared to death, motionless..."

Su Wu laughed at himself, "If I remember correctly, Da Sima was only 16 years old at that time, right? Da Sima went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of 16 and made great achievements. We are in our 30s and have accomplished nothing. We are simply ashamed."

"This is your chance. The key to a person's life is a spirit of not admitting defeat and perseverance. I often read the story of Doctor Wuxi these days, and I admire him very much.

Thinking about his wandering life for the first half of his life, he still achieved nothing at the age of 70 and had no choice but to be a slave, worth only five sheepskins. But once he entered the Qin Dynasty and was appreciated by Duke Mu of Qin, he was like a roc that rose up with the wind in one day and soared ninety thousand miles away.

His plans were all right, and his actions would be successful. He appointed the king of Jin three times, saved Jingzhou from disasters, issued religious titles, and the people of Ba paid tribute; The land is thousands of miles away, he dominates Xirong, unifies the northwest region, promotes the rise of Qin, and can be called a famous prime minister. Therefore, if you have ambitions, you will no longer be young, but if you don't have ambitions, you will live a hundred years. "

"What a person who has ambitions and is no longer young, but who has no ambitions and lives a hundred years in vain. Da Sima is truly a strange person. He is Su Wu's confidant. Su Wu is so shameless this time."

Su Wu bowed respectfully, took a few more sips of wine from the bowl, and his face turned slightly rosy.

The few of them chatted some more, and when they arrived in the afternoon, Liu Han saw them off.

"When you are old, you will be strong. It is better to move your heart with a gray head. If you are poor, you will be strong. Your ambition will not fall into the blue clouds. You two cherish it!"

Su Wu and Chang Hui turned back to look at Liu Han. They knelt down and saluted again, "With these words, this life is enough. When I come back this time, I am willing to be the personal guard of Da Sima and lead horses for Da Sima on the battlefield!"

Su Wu's eyes seemed to be wet, and then he turned and left. He didn't know that it would be 19 years before he left.

Nineteen years can turn a middle-aged man into a sixty-year-old man, turn a scepter into a bald stick, and even change the monarch.

But 19 years did not let Su Wu give up his hope and mission. However, such a seemingly safe mission made Su Wu trapped by the Huns for 19 years, and it also turned the Han Dynasty upside down!
