Daigo Ada rode on his horse and watched the Han people riding slowly from the camp to the Iron Gate Pass.I saw that the man was wearing a felt coat, and the brim of his hat was pressed very low to see his face, but looking at his figure, he was a little thin, and he should be the same as in the legend, a weak man who could only hold a pen but could not lift a knife."
Is that him?
A year ago, the deputy envoy of Fu Jiezi, who was captured by the scouts of King Youxian, Wu Zongnian. ”King Puyin, who was in charge of attacking the iron gate, said with a smile: "Yes, this person has been demoted to the Right Xian King for almost a year, he has grown braids, married Hu's wife, and the more Hu Yu speaks, the smoother he becomes, and he also assists the Right Xian King to memorize left and right, so as to count the people and animals."
In addition to not being used to drinking mare's milk wine, it is also obedient. ”Daigo Ada shook his head: "The Han people are cunning, it's only been a year, I don't believe that he has completely attached himself to the Youxian King and forgotten his days in the Han land."
Didn't Zhang Qian and Zhao Ponu in the past all surrender first and then flee?
If you want to tame, how difficult it is, unless you are like King Jiankun, who was killed by the emperor of Chang'an and lost his way out. ”King Puyin has his own idea: "Whether Wu Zongnian is really attached to Qianghu, you can try it today!"
also cut off his back road by the way.When he came, the king of Youxian said, "I want to keep an eye on this man, and then my bow will be aimed at his back, and if he dares to talk nonsense, or run away, he will shoot him with an arrow!"
”The Xiongnu were watching the excitement, but as a party concerned, Wu Zongnian only felt that the short two-mile road leading to Tiemen Pass was really long.Recalling that more than 20 years ago, Wu Zongnian was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was still a hairless young scholar in Qiancheng County, Qidi, when he heard that Li Ling had demoted to Hu, he was filled with righteous indignation, and once talked loudly in front of the division commander and scolded Li Ling."
As a courtier, he disregarded kindness and righteousness, and betrayed his relatives on the side of the lord, in order to surrender to the barbarians.Li Ling's move is no different from what the Bank of China said!
”There are also people like Taishi Gong who sympathize with Li Ling, and ask Wu Zongnian: "If you are Li Ling, what should you do?"
”Wu Zongnian said righteously at the time: "Qu Jie humiliates his life, although he is born to return to the Han Dynasty?"
The only death to repay the country!
”At that time, the young Wu Zongnian would never have imagined that one day, he would really face this choice.Just a year ago, he was ordered by Fu Jiezi to carry the head of Loulan Wang An to report the good news and ask for support.But in Julucang encountered a large number of Hun rangers, in order to let Xi Chongguo smoothly transmit the news back to Yumen, Wu Zongnian, who has always been mediocre and not good at riding, was actually hot-headed and became a hero!
On that day, Wu Zongnian held high the festival and asked his subordinates to unfurl the Han flag to lead most of the Hun soldiers for Xi Chongguo and the others.It was the most painful peak moment in Wu Zongnian's life, but unfortunately, he soon fell to the trough.The six horsemen who followed him as bait were chased and shot by dozens of Huns, but Wu Zongnian was thrown off his horse, and the Huns saw that he was a Han envoy who held the festival, so they left his life, took him back to Pu Shihai, and sent him to the court of Youxian Wang.Along the way, Wu Zongnian, who became a prisoner, recalled his bold words many years ago, and wanted to kill himself several times, but he never found a chance.When camping at night, Lao Wu wanted to crash to death on the cliff, but at the last moment, out of instinct, he retracted his strength.Although his head was bleeding, he still had his life spared, and he was cured miraculously by a doctor who smeared a herb on his head.He was desperate to find that when the matter came to an end, the desire to survive was so strong that he had no courage to commit suicide at all, so he could only silently hold the scepter, hoping that even if he did not die, he could be like Zhang Qian and Su Wu.Not being afraid of death is a short-term impulse, and greed for life is the normal state of life.All because there is still luck in my heart: "Maybe there will be a chance to return to the Han Dynasty like Bo Wanghou and Su Ziqing in the future." ”But things were not as simple as he imagined.When Wu Zongnian was escorted to the court of Youxian Wang in the Balikun grassland, Xiongnu Shan Yu's younger brother, Youxian King Xulu Quanqu was very interested in this Han envoy and asked him if he would surrender?
Wu Zongnian was righteous and stern at that time: "Confucius said, it is shameful to do oneself, to make it to the Quartet, not to dishonor the king's life, it can be described as a scholar, I will not surrender!"
”"You're not afraid of death?"
Of course he was afraid, but Wu Zongnian still insisted: "The minister is the king, and the son is the father."
The Son dies for the Father, and there is nothing to hate!
”Then Wu Zongnian scolded the Huns, he did not have the courage to commit suicide, if the Huns could kill themselves with a knife, it would be a good thing.But after listening to the translation of the Han people who had descended in the early years in the royal court, King Youxian was not angry, but laughed: "Okay, then you will be a starving taxi." ”So Wu Zongnian was imprisoned in an empty large cellar, with no food to eat and no water to drink.Wu Zongnian remembered that when he was in the middle of the court, Guanglu doctor Chang Hui told them about Su Wu's experience in the Xiongnu, and he was also put in a big cellar, lying down and chewing snow, swallowing it with felt wool to satisfy hunger, and he survived without dying for a few days.But in addition to the soil and dirt around, there is a sunny day outside, where does the snow come from.King Youxian obviously didn't want Wu Zongnian to die of thirst and starvation, so two days later, he brought him food and drink."
As long as you descend to the Right Virtuous King, you can go out."
Wu Zongnian is still very tough: "Gentlemen don't eat the food that comes from the mouth, and people with lofty ideals don't drink the water of the stolen spring!"
”He survived on urine for several days, but in the end he couldn't spill anything, and his hunger was even more exhausting.In the cellar where he didn't know the sun and the moon, Wu Zongnian was so hungry that his eyes were black, he was so thirsty that he fainted, and finally he even looked at the end of the scepter with green eyes, and the dried blood of King Loulan was especially there.He was so close that he couldn't help but stick out his dry tongue to lick the blood and shove the yak tail from the scepter into his mouth.His stomach was hungry and painful, bleeding, and finally he lost consciousness, his heart had returned to Chang'an, but his body was curled up in the dust of Rong Dihu.In a trance, Wu Zongnian dreamed that the Han Heavenly Soldiers killed the Youxian Wangting and swept the Huns, and then Fu Jiezi and Xi Chongguo and others pried open the door of the cellar, saved themselves, praised his perseverance and bravery, and handed sweet water.But when Wu Zongnian opened his eyes, most of the water had been drunk, and he found that what he was in front of was the Han people sent by King Youxian to persuade him to surrender.It is estimated that they heard a loud noise in his stomach, and they sneered: "Deputy Envoy Wu, you have drunk the stolen spring water, this is to eat, is it not to eat?"
”The fragrant roast lamb is held up in front of you, the color is so golden, and it exudes heat when it is freshly roasted."
This is the reward of the right king, who slaughtered the best sheep and roasted them slowly on the fire.Such good meat, even the hundred cavalry commanders, can not be eaten every day.But the right sage king Aicai, when he heard that you fainted from hunger, he asked us to bring some with you. ”Wu Zongnian only had the leg of mutton left in his eyes, and out of instinct he reached out to grab it, but they withdrew the food."
To fall, or not to fall?"
Wu Zongnian's heart remembered the words he had said in his hometown many years ago.I thought of the solar terms of Bowanghou and Su Wu again, and thought of his wife and children in Chang'an, and countless voices were dissuading him!
I'd rather die than surrender!
But he couldn't control his hands and mouth."
Descend" His voice was weak at the time, but he was relieved of all hardships."
I'll descend!"
The leg of mutton was thrown in front of him, and Wu Zongnian pounced on it like crazy to suck the hot oil juice.Kong said that he was benevolent, and Meng said that he took righteousness, but they couldn't make the empty stomach full, let alone moisten the dry throat.At this moment, those things that Wu Zongnian once believed in and were unswerving, when added together, they were not as comfortable as a mouthful of mutton.After recovering his strength, he found that the scepter he had always held in his hand had already been taken away by the Huns when he fainted, and he didn't know whether it was burned as firewood or thrown away.And when he got out of the cellar, Wu Zongnian realized that he had carried it intermittently for a total of seven days."
It's only been seven days" "And Su Ziqing has carried it for nineteen years, more than 7,000 days and nights. ”"It turned out that it was easy to be Zigong, but if you want to become the second in Su Wu, it is so difficult!"
Looking at the sunlight overhead, as if he was in a different world, kneeling weakly on the green grass, Wu Zongnian seemed to have lost his soul and wanted to cry without tears."
It turns out that I am not a hero with iron bones.""
It's just a mortal man who is afraid of death, pain, and hunger!"
The footsteps stopped, and the memories stopped.Wu Zongnian found that he had arrived at a place about two hundred steps west of Tiemen Pass, and the Huns urged him, so he could only get off the horse, take off his felt hat, and take off his Hu clothes, revealing a Han-style deep coat he was wearing inside, which was to show his identity.He was forced by the king of Puyin to persuade him to surrender the iron gate.Although the iron gate pass is also built with earth ramming, but it is not the same as all the city barriers that Wu Zongnian has seen, the Han army has three specifications, the small one is the dock, the middle one is the barrier, and the big one is the city.Those with a side length of no more than 500 steps are obstacles, such as the Yumen Pass and Yangguan in Dunhuang, which are all obstacles.But they are simple in size, just a tall square rammed earth wall surrounded by a female wall.But this iron gate pass is different, the height is about the same as the jade gate pass, up to more than four zhang, the length reaches more than 100 steps, and the iron gate pass is sealed.However, on the western wall, there are two more rectangular piers, which extend from the wall like a horse's face.As for the situation in the pass, I can't see it in Wu Zongnian's position, but I only heard the Huns who had climbed up to the top of the city, but were driven down and survived, and it was a little strange.A hundred steps outside the city wall, there are several deep ravines and trenches, which have now been filled in by the Huns with sand, but all the attacks have hit the wall in front of the iron gate, and the wooden ladders, shields and even corpses are scattered in a disorderly manner outside the pass, which is the wreckage of several failed attacks.If not, there is no need to let Wu Zongnian persuade him to surrender, after more than 40 days of siege, King Puyin and King Yiwu have lost more than 100 people, I heard that the east side of the king of Rizhu suffered greater losses, and the number of people killed in the battle of Tiemen Pass was only more than 10.However, the Iron Gate Pass also has a fatal weakness, there is only a barrier, but there are nearly 300 people guarding it, more than 40 days later, it has long been cut off, the firewood is gone, a few days ago began to use dry dung, clothes to light the beacon fire, in order to maintain communication with the canal plough city."
The people inside the barrier are starving."
Wu Zongnian walked cautiously forward, recalling the hunger that allowed him to bend his knees and bow his head to the Right Virtuous King, and he knew how that feeling tortured a person's body and crushed his spirit.Will the guards of the Iron Gate choose to give in, just like themselves?
With Wu Zongnian's loud shouting, a person appeared at the head of the Iron Gate Pass, heavily armored and holding a crossbow.is an acquaintance, who parted ways with Wu Zongnian in Julucang a year ago, carrying the life of Paoze, and returning to Xi Chongguo in Yumen alone.Wu Zongnian recognized him, and his voice was a little hoarse for a while: "Xi Cavalry, it's me, your former deputy envoy, Wu Zongnian!"
”He began to read aloud the words of persuasion he had prepared, and the words were still good."
Captain Lai Dan has been attacked by Qiuzi, the city is broken, the west has no help, Loulan Ruoqiang is cowardly, and he will not send a single soldier.And the Han soldiers were also blocked by the king of the right valley, and the moon did not reach the iron gate, and the princes of the court had abandoned the Western Regions. ”"The food in the barrier is empty, the arrows are exhausted, the tens of thousands of troops of the Right Sage King are about to arrive, and if you don't surrender at this time, I'm afraid they will all become powder!""
Zong Nian previously returned to the Xiongnu with the Han Dynasty, and was fortunate to receive the great grace of the right virtuous king, who was given the title of official, with dozens of slaves and maids, hundreds of horses and livestock, and so rich.Thou shalt come down today, and thou shalt be again tomorrow.Why bother to anoint the desert and grasslands with empty bodies, who knows it?
Why don't you turn around and remove your armor, Yili" The voice was interrupted, it was Xi Chongguo's crossbow machine that was pronounced, and a thick crossbow arrow was nailed a few steps in front of Wu Zongguo, and the tail feathers trembled slightly, this is the answer of the iron gate."
Just a traitor, he disguised himself as Deputy Envoy Wu to deceive us."
Xi Chongguo's voice sounded, still so resolute."

The Wu Zongnian I know is a strong man who is benevolent and righteous, loyal to the monarch, takes Zigong as an example, and takes the festival as his glory.A year ago, he was already in Julucang, in order to lure away Hu Lu for us, he donated his life and martyred the country!
”"Honghu and Yanque, I can still tell the difference, you, it's not Wu Zongnian!"
There is no condemnation that Wu Zongnian imagined, standing and talking without backache.Xi Chongguo's seemingly ruthless words, but in fact, he is helping himself, so that his family will not be wiped out like Li Ling, this is the robe of lifelong friendship.With Xi Chongguo's scolding, Wu Zongnian had tears in his eyes, his hands were clenched, his beard trembled slightly, and at this moment, he really wanted to take a few steps forward.Even if he surrendered at the right Xianwang, he still thought about the big man, just two hundred steps away, outside the Guan, Hu Chen, but the Han flag was still set up in Guanzhong.As long as he walked over and embraced the iron gate with open arms, Xi Chongguo might be able to fire another crossbow to end his humiliation.If he is lucky enough not to die, the Huns who secretly point their bows and arrows at him behind him will also make up for a few arrows and completely take away his life, which is no longer loyal and noble.But this cowardly leg is like being filled with lead, and it is difficult to move half a step forward."
Wu Zongnian, Wu Zongnian, you have been reading the sage book for thirty years, you are really a coward."
Amid the boos of the Han army at Tiemen Pass, Wu Zongnian turned around and got on his horse.On the way back to the camp, he seemed to have lost his soul, and returned to the time when he had just surrendered to King Youxian last year, when he was frenzied and self-defeating.The Iron Gate Pass has run out of food, Xi Chongguo and they are also starving, just like themselves, more than 200 soldiers are hungry and suffering."
But why, did I go down?"
Surrendering to the Huns, there is no glory and wealth, there is only infinite regret, and I don't know how to turn back.Wu Zongnian thought about it again, Fang Cai himself did not lie, the Han army would indeed take twenty or thirty days to reach the Iron Gate, what should I do with the Iron Gate Pass, which has no food?"
Can I help them?"
Wu Zongnian had a faint impulse called "atonement" in his heart.When Wu Zongnian returned to the king of Puyin, the other two Han people who were accommodating the Xiongnu had already told the king of Puyin and his servant Duwei of his persuasion to surrender.They didn't criticize Wu Zongnian harshly, and the Huns did a lot of things to persuade Hanse Fengsui to surrender with traitors, but the chance of success was only one hundred.However, at night, Wu Zongnian was listening to the sound of Hu Ji and couldn't sleep, but he was awakened by the cronies of the Puyin King faction.It turned out that King Yiwu, who had gone with his troops to defend the Wusun people dozens of miles to the west, had returned in person and brought a letter."
It was found from the Qiuzi people who wanted to come to the ditch to plow, and he said that he was ordered by the Han envoy to go to see the king of the right valley!"
King Igo was very nervous, and they complained to the king of Yougu Li, who relied on himself to be one of the "four corners", leisurely watching the battle in the canal plow, but asked them to gnaw hard bones.Coupled with the turmoil that occurred when the Xiongnu replaced Shan Yu a few years ago, they were the descendants of the Xiongnu Shan Yu and the Right Xian Wang, and they didn't trust the Right Valley Li King and the Rizhu King very much, so they were eager to know the above content.Wu Zongnian promised, took the silk book, and his eyes widened as soon as he unfolded it."
Ren Hong, the Han Confessor, pays homage to the King of the Right Valley, and the King of the Sun is safe!"
Ren Hong, this familiar name, is the young man who is very outstanding in the Fu Jiezi mission, with a song "If you don't break Loulan, you won't return it", Wu Zongnian was full of praise, and I heard that the reason why Loulan City was able to hold out until the arrival of the Han army was also thanks to this son's miraculous move to the rescue.And Wu Zongnian guessed that the "Ren Shilang" who built the city at the Iron Gate overnight and was always hated by Daigo Ada was actually Ren Hong.Now that you have risen to the rank of Confessor?
It's the same level as the position when I was a deputy envoy.Ren Hong's letter to the King of Yougu Li and the King of Richai, is it true or false?
Wu Zongnian's heart was beating wildly, but he could only pretend that nothing happened, continue to read, read a passage in Chinese, and immediately translated it into Xiongnu."
The king of the day sent an envoy to lure the two captives between the ploughs of the iron gate canal and divide their people, and the king of the right valley cut off his retreat and destroyed it with Wusun's army."
The more he read, the more frightened Wu Zongnian became, and the more he read, the more ugly the faces of King Puyin and King Yiwu became.Two captives?
Divide the crowd?
How it feels like it's talking about us."
The two kings are facing eastward, raising the right to return to the Han, and the matter is written before, which is very much in line with my wishes!""
The book before the matter!
Former book!
”Wu Zongnian stopped, pointed at these two words heavily, and explained up and down."
This means that the king of the day and the king of Yougu Li have communicated with the Han envoy more than once!"
