Chapter 178: Life is like morning dew


For Su Wu, the Xiongnu is a place he is very familiar with.He is the son of Su Jian, the general of the Wei Qing Department, and the three brothers are all Xiaowu Emperor Langguan, and Su Wu is the most appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and at the age of thirty, he has achieved the position of Zhonglang General, and his future is limitless.In the first year of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu showed a desire to make peace, very humble, Emperor Xiaowu sent Su Wu to envoy the Xiongnu, he also went to Shiqu Pavilion before leaving, wanted to know everything about the Xiongnu, Taishi Company Ma Qian received Su Wu very warmly, from Emperor Gao to Xiaowu in a hundred years, the Han people recorded hundreds of volumes of dedication to the Xiongnu one by one.Seeing Su Wu's embarrassed face, Taishi Gong laughed again, and presented him with a biography of the Xiongnu that he was writing, so that Su Wu knew the history and customs of the Xiongnu.At that time, Su Wu, Sima Qian, Li Ling, Huo Guang, and Shangguan Ji were all in the prime of life and were very good friends.Su Wu drums, Li Ling composed songs, Sima Qian composed rhymes and lyrics, and once accompanied the second division on an expedition to Dawan, and crossed the Shangguan Jie dance sword in the green mountains.And Huo Guang, who was the most silent at that time, drank silently, but when Su Wu was about to leave, he gave him a heavy blow.Su Wu still remembers that they sang the last round."

On the back, the benefits of the middle, the summer is coming, the line is about to be north, in order to inherit the Ganquan Palace.Cold and summer virtue, travel to Shiguan, look at the country, Yue's ministers, Hun clothes.Let the hundreds of officials gallop away, long live the joy of the thousand autumns!

”"Yes, long live the Infinite Happiness."

The cheerful and high-spirited ballad is a thing of the past, and now there is only late autumn and loneliness, Su Wu sighed, retracted his thoughts, and focused on the map of the Huns that had been drawn for most of the time.Sima Qian's biography of the Xiongnu only let Su Wu know the fur of the Xiongnu, and in the nineteen years of being detained, he could be regarded as having thoroughly understood everything about this country.They are cruel and ruthless, and they are gentle and friendly.One of the Huns that Su Wu was most grateful to was Shan Yu's younger brother Yu Jingwang, who had been thrown into Beihai for five or six years, and the yak tails on the festival had fallen in the cold wind.There was no food, and the Huns also saw that he was not allowed to go out hunting, but could only shepherd sheep, or rams, and not even cheese.He can only feed his hunger by picking wild fruits, and when he is really not enough, he can only dig up nuts stored by wild mice to eat.At this time, the king of Yu Jing went to the North Sea to fight, Su Wu's life at that time, there was no doubt with a Hun man, skilled in weaving fishing nets, correcting the longbow can shoot down the geese flying in the sky, Yu Jing Wang heard that he would rather die than obey the deeds, quite important, provided Su Wu with food and clothing, and chatted with him.When Su Wu was worried about whether it was the Huns who came to spy on him, King Yu Jing, who was old enough to be his son, was willing to exchange the Huns' reality for nothing.In this way, Su Wu used the inconsequential rumors of Chang'an to exchange a lot of information, as well as the felt tent of the horse herd, and his life was a little better.It's a pity that King Yu Jing lived a short life, died before twenty, and no one could protect Su Wu, and the nomadic Ding Lingren on the North Sea stole Su Wu's cattle, sheep, and horses, which was the most difficult winter for Su Wu."

Ding Zero."

Thinking so, Su Wu sketched the name of this tribe on the map, Ding Ling people were more barbaric than the Xiongnu, lived in the extreme north of the world, and used a high-wheeled cart called "Lele Che", and it was Wei Lu who served as the king of Ding Ling at that time, so they were very unfriendly to Su Wu.After all, King Yu Jing was just a child, and the things he told Su Wu were limited, and it was another person, Li Ling, who gave Su Wu a deeper understanding of the Xiongnu.the Li Ling who had broken willows at the Benmen Bridge to bid farewell to Su Wu; the Li Ling who sang "Looking at the countries, the Yue's ministers, the Huns" at the banquet; The Li Ling, who patted his chest and told Su Wu: "If Ziqing is detained by the Huns, Ling will lead the army to run rampant among the Huns and return to meet the king".In the second year of Su Wu's detention, he was defeated and surrendered to the Xiongnu.Li Ling felt ashamed in his heart, and he hesitated to come to see Su Wu, until he heard that he was having a hard time and almost starved to death, so he brought his livestock to Beihai to meet him and arranged a singing and dancing banquet for Su Wu.It is also strange to say that Su Wu, who was originally going to reprimand Li Ling, saw the guy wearing a Hu suit and gold jewelry, and then saw that he was also wearing a Hu suit, and the two old friends actually pointed at each other and laughed, laughing and crying.The only difference between the two is that Li Ling has braided his hair, while Su Wu still has a Han family bun.After that, Li Ling came again and told Su Wu a lot about the Xiongnu.He is the king's Jiankun Department is far away in the sky, the specific location of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, which little kings did not arrive at the last Dragon City Conference, and the disputes within the Xiongnu for the Shan Yu throne Su Wu can draw a rough map of the Xiongnu today, all relying on Li Ling's chatter back then.Of course, Li Ling also told Su Wu some other things.Regarding the death of Su Wu's two brothers, they were all afraid of being severely punished by the harsh Emperor Xiaowu because they made small mistakes, one committed suicide and the other drank medicine.Regarding the death of Su Wu's mother, the mother had lost two sons and was not in good health, and after hearing that he was detained by the Xiongnu, he died for a long time.As a friend of Su Wu, Li Ling was buried in Yangling with Sima Qian, Huo Guang, Shangguan Ji, etc., and Sima Qian also wrote an epitaph for Su's mother.There was also the remarriage of Su Wu's wife, and Su Wu had only stayed for a year at that time."

Life is like morning dew, why has Ziqing been suffering like this for a long time?"

It's strange to say, when Li Ling said these things, Su Wu didn't cry, didn't shed a single tear, but drank with Li Ling for a long time that night, and spent the night with a bearded woman sent to him by Li Ling.But when a few years later, Li Ling came to tell Su Wu again, saying, "The Huns caught the clouds and made a mouth, and the people under Yan Taishou were all in vain, saying: Collapse." ”, Su Wu cried heartbreakingly and vomited blood.After that, he stood solemnly facing the south every morning and evening for several months, as if he wanted to stand on the last shift for the emperor he admired.In the memories of the past, the picture was almost finished, and only the last place remained, but Su Wu couldn't put down the pen for a long time."

North Sea."

His always determined gaze suddenly became hesitant: "How big is the Beihai that I have been in for nineteen years, and what shape will it be if it were to be drawn on a map?"

”Su Wu was bound to a corner of the North Sea, he had seen the mirror-like lake in summer, the red broad leaves in August, and the blue ice that never melted in March.When the snow falls, there is an endless amount of land and snow everywhere, and you can feel the chill to the bones when you step into it, no matter how many layers of sheepskin fur you wrap in.That moment was the most lonely and desperate, and the only thing that accompanied Su Wu was the group of rams that were getting older and older, but would never give birth.There are some places that can never be forgotten, sometimes Su Wu woke up, and subconsciously touched the bare Jingjie, and thought that he was still in Beihai, until the sun outside and the bustling Chang'an market could make him breathe a sigh of relief.Su Wu hesitated for a long time, and finally put pen to paper."

I remember Ding Lingren said that Beihai is long and narrow, like a curved knife."

It was that cold knife that split his life in two!

There was a knock on the door, and when I looked up, it was Chang Hui, who had already left the subject country, carrying a little burnt meat and a pot of wine, and appeared at the door with a smile."

Why is Zizhi here?"

Su Wu put away the map, vacated the case, and secretly drank some wine in the official office when no one was around, it was the tacit understanding between him and Chang Hui in the past few years, they were both people who did not want to go home.Chang Hui said with a smile: "Passing by the State Bureau, I saw that it was still lit inside, it must be that Su Gong was still nostalgic for the case, so I came in to accompany Su Gong." ”After following Su Wu for more than 20 years, Chang Hui knows him best, Su Wu has no relatives in his family, his brothers and sisters are dead, his mother is dead, his wife has remarried, and even his son has been implicated in Shangguan to rebel and be killed.So in the past three years, Su Wu would rather be immersed in official business, than go back to the deserted, only a few slaves' home, although he has a cousin, and a nephew, but not too close, the court but where there is a reward, Su Wu does not buy the property, smiled and said who will be left after the purchase?

All will be distributed to the deceased.Chang Hui didn't dare to mention it in the past, but after drinking two cups today, he asked tentatively: "Duke Su, why don't you send someone to bring Tongguo back from the Xiongnu?"

”Su Wu glared: "Don't mention this matter again, that's the mistake I made after I was drunk by Li Ling, and I was confused for a while!"

”"Nobody thinks it's a mistake."

Chang Hui smiled dumbly, Su Wu is like this, strict with himself: "When the Marquis of Bowang was detained by the Huns, there were also Hu women and children, and later came back with him, Xiaowu was ever blamed?"

”Su Wu still shook his head, no matter what others said, in his opinion, it was a big stain on his life.Chang Hui is still persuading: "The people who went to the Huns with Su Gong back then, Xu Sheng, Zhao Zhonggen, who didn't have a bearded woman around them?"

But no one thought that they had turned their backs on the Great Han. ”Su Wu was angry, pointed at Chang Hui and said, "You Chang Hui Chang Zizhi, this infatuated person, don't you have it?"

Not only did the Xiongnu not get close to the Hu Nu, but even when they returned to Chang'an, they were reluctant to marry a wife. ”Chang Hui was dumbfounded, bowed his head dejectedly, looked up again after a long time, took out a greeting note and said with a smile: "I came to find Su Gong today to tell you that I am getting married, and I am the daughter of Cai Yi of Shaofu." ”This is what Su Wu didn't expect: "Cai Yi's daughter?

Which daughter?

”"Second daughter."

Su Wu laughed: "It's okay not to be the youngest, but even if it's the second daughter, you can be your daughter." ”After laughing for a while and drinking again, Su Wucai approached Chang Hui and asked, "Finally figured it out?"

”"Figured it out."

Chang Hui said: "In the past, I have been depressed, and I feel that I have survived in the Huns for 19 years, but when she returns, she has married Wusun, so she is quite unfair."

But some time ago, when I saw that Lord Chu's children were so old, I finally saw through. ”"That's why she asked Princess Wusun Yaoguang to come to see me.Before, I thought about it, and I was so small-minded that I had not yet married her, although I had sworn at the Benmen Bridge, saying that after this trip to make meritorious service, I would come back to marry her, but I never returned, and there was no news, I must have thought I was dead. ”"With her temperament, she took the initiative to ask to go to Wusun and kiss under the resolute grief and indignation, and she really did it."

Chang Hui cried as he spoke: "Duke Su, you are right, we were detained in the Xiongnu, and the nineteen years were gone, how can we ask others to guard me for nineteen years?"

”Su Wu didn't say anything comforting, only patted Chang Hui's shoulder gently.Nineteen years, what they have lost, is not only nineteen years?

Chang Hui knew that he was out of shape, and after quickly wiping away his tears, he looked at Su Wu again: "Su Gong, I have figured it out as a stubborn person, haven't you figured it out yet?"

Life is like morning dew, why have you been suffering like this for a long time!

”Su Wu heard this sentence again, and this is how Li Ling persuaded him to surrender in the first place."

Of course I also want Tongguo back, after all, he is my last bloodline."

For the first time, Su Wu said what was in his heart."

Although Liu Dan, the king of the Yan Thorn, once complained about me, saying that I was only a subject country, and I could not give two million, I had to be compared to the second Marquis of Bowang, and it was not enough to reward merit if I was not a marquis.""

But others don't know, I don't know?

Although Su Wu stayed in the Xiongnu for 19 years, if you want to talk about meritorious service, how can you compare with Bowang?

I have not done anything beneficial to the state except to herd sheep in the North Sea, and if I am a marquis, then the kings such as Lu Chongguo, who were previously detained, should also be sealed?

”"After returning, I was lucky enough to get the position of Jiuqing, the money was two million, Wu was very ashamed, my son was involved in a rebellion, Tingwei proposed to arrest me and put me in prison, the general read the old friendship, suppressed the song, and let me continue to work in the court in the name of a false vassal country.""

Now the Xiongnu are fighting with the Han Dynasty, and the war is stretching in the Western Regions.They have not come back, how can I have any face, ask the Son of Heaven to send an envoy to the Xiongnu, just to redeem my adulterous son, if the envoy who goes is detained by the Xiongnu again, how can I be worthy of their family?

”"Zizhi, I really don't want to, your and my regrets will happen to others again."

After Su Wu confided his heartfelt words, Chang Hui was only stunned for a while, and then bowed to Su Wuchang."

Compared with Su Gong, Hui is really a selfish villain!"

But when Chang Hui said goodbye drunk, Su Wu still did not go home, but once again under the lamp, he examined the map of the Xiongnu that had just been drawn.What he has seen and heard in the past 19 years, and his perseverance and patience, have all turned into thin lines, condensed in the names of tribes, mountains and rivers.and the North Sea, which cut his life in half like a sharp scimitar."

How long has you been suffering like this?

Why have you been suffering like this for a long time?

”Su Wu muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was answering Li Ling or Chang Hui."

Of course, it is to prove that all this work done by the old man for the big man, the nineteen years he has paid, are worth it!"
