The third quarter class surpasses the Western Regions and builds great achievements

Envoy you have forty copper tiger talismans, one arrow has known the golden servant girl. In the third hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, the Jinshi was promoted, and the man who stopped playing drums ended up not being a husband. The west wind cages the locust tree and the osmanthus, and the writing force is as strong as the waves of the river. I know the king's samadhi and other games. I want to say something in my mouth. Yuan Kai ascended Yong's pedigree. Although Ji Qi was a virtuous person, there was no Mingguang Fu. At that time, there was no Mingguang Fu, and he came to Tang and Yu. The six halberds of your family were painted with pepper, and there was no trace of incense on his body. It was quite good. It is doubtful that the sorghum will be used in the cold field, and the people who want to live in the house will compete for a share of the baht.

Both the northern and southern Xiongnu wanted to win over the Eastern Han Dynasty and let the Eastern Han Dynasty help them destroy each other. But the Eastern Han Dynasty wanted to maintain the current division of the Xiongnu, and the three parties maintained it like this for more than 20 years.

The Northern Xiongnu were so angry that they stepped up their plundering of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Northern Xiongnu also entangled the armies of various countries in the Western Regions and harassed the Eastern Han Dynasty together.

At this time, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Liu Zhuang. Liu Zhuang couldn't bear it and decided to send troops to fight back. Liu Zhuang's decision was not a whim. After the Guangwu Zhongxing and Liu Zhuang reigns, the Eastern Han Dynasty had greatly improved its national strength. In addition, the civil and military ministers in the court They all asked for troops to attack the Xiongnu. So Liu Zhuang prepared to attack the Xiongnu.

The Northern Huns were in a very unsatisfactory situation. Both the south and the east were their mortal enemies, so they had no choice but to work hard to develop the Western Regions as a way of survival.

Previously, Liu Xiu had indulged the Northern Huns in the Western Regions to a large extent, which resulted in the Northern Huns recovering to a certain extent in strength, but they were still unable to compare with those before the split, let alone the Eastern Han Dynasty. Moreover, countries in the Western Regions missed the Western Han Dynasty and continued to draw lessons from the Western Han Dynasty. When they got property there, they also wanted to join the Eastern Han Dynasty again.

Liu Zhuang first targeted the Western Region, because this place was the lifeline for the Huns to survive. As long as he controlled the Western Region, it would be equivalent to cutting off the economic source of the Northern Huns.

In 73 AD, the Han army launched a four-pronged attack on the Northern Xiongnu. In this battle, the Han army also united with the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei. Even though the Northern Xiongnu were arrogant and arrogant, they could only flee when faced with such a severe situation.

The Eastern Han Dynasty's army entered the Western Regions in a mighty manner, but failed to find an attack target, so they had to return empty-handed. This expedition made Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Eastern Han Dynasty feel a little disappointed, but the significance of this military operation was fully realized, and Xinyu countries I regained the confidence of the Eastern Han Dynasty to intervene here.

Not long after, Liu Zhuang sent Sima Banchao and 36 people as an envoy to the Western Regions. The purpose of this mission to the Western Regions was to break away from the relations between the Western Regions countries and the Xiongnu, and to win over the relations between the Western Regions countries and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ban Chao's family is a family of historians. When Ban Chao was young, he joined the army and became an acting Sima under Dou Gu. Later, Dou Gu led his army to victory, just like the emperor recommended Ban Chao to the Western Regions.

The Northern Huns had been operating in the Western Regions for many years, so Banchao's trip to the Western Regions was full of risks, but Banchao was confident and undaunted.

Ban Chao made a detailed analysis of the countries in the Western Regions. He decided to start with the easy ones and then the difficult ones, starting with the countries in the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains where the Xiongnu control was relatively weak. He first came to Shanshan State, which was the only way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. King Shanshan saw the envoys from the Eastern Han Dynasty and received them warmly.

But a few days later, King Shanshan's attitude suddenly changed. Ban Chao expected that an envoy from the Northern Huns must have come. Ban Chao knew in his heart that the countries in the Western Regions had always treated the Han Dynasty and the Huns as dependent on the stronger side. Moreover, the Eastern Han Dynasty was relatively far away from the Western Regions. Far away, the Huns were close to them, and the small battle they had just won in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not enough to eliminate the risk assessment of this speculation in the Western Regions.

Banchao decided to take a risk. He found out where the Northern Huns envoy was stationed. Then he attacked the Northern Huns in the dark. The next day, he gave the head of the Northern Huns envoy to King Shanshan. The Northern Huns envoy died in

He could not explain his territory to the Xiongnu, so he had no choice but to seek refuge with the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When the news came back to the court, Liu Zhuang was very happy and ordered Ban Chao to continue to persuade other countries in the Western Regions.

So Ban Chao came to the Khotan Kingdom in the Western Regions. This country relied on its strength and the protection of the Huns, so it didn't take Ban Chao and others seriously at all.

When the Northern Huns knew the news, they wanted to drive a wedge between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Yu Dian Kingdom. At that time, there was a practice of wizards in Yu Dian, and this wizard had long been bribed by the Northern Huns. He told the king that he would kill the horses of the Han Dynasty envoys.

King Yu Dian was a devout believer, so he sent people to Ban Chao to ask for the horse. Ban Chao pretended to agree, but he asked the wizard to come and get it in person. When the wizard came, Ban Chao chopped him into pieces with a knife.

Ban Chao sent the wizard's head to King Yu Dian. The king saw that Ban Chao was indeed a ruthless man, so he agreed to surrender to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The small countries in the southern part of the Western Region saw that Yu Dian Kingdom had all surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty, so they also surrendered one after another.

After the kingdoms in the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains were settled, Ban Chao set his sights on the kingdoms in the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains. The northern part of the Tianshan Mountains was very close to the Northern Huns, especially King Qiuci, who relied on the support of the Northern Huns to act recklessly in this place. Banchao knew that the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains was the most dangerous place.

The important transportation hub is Shule State. If this place is not captured, the road from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Regions will not be smooth.

Ban Chao decided to send one of his men, who was not impressive in appearance but highly skilled in martial arts, to Shule to persuade him to surrender. He also told him that if the King of Shule did not agree, he would be captured directly.

As expected, King Shule refused to submit to the Eastern Han Dynasty, so this man captured him. Banchao summoned the ministers of Shule State, and then established another king. So Shule State became a vassal state of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Liu Zhuang sent a large army to attack the Western Regions. The Han army defeated the Cheshi Kingdom, and then the Eastern Han Dynasty set up a Western Region Protector in the Western Regions. After the new Western Region Protector took office, he first demonstrated like Wusun. Wusun knew that he would surrender.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was good for them, so they reconciled with the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Seeing that the Eastern Han Dynasty was about to regain control of the Western Regions, the Northern Huns were furious. They sent troops to launch a war against the Shule Kingdom. At the same time, the Northern Huns also united with other ethnic groups to break through the Han Dynasty's Western Regions Protectorate.

At this time, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Eastern Han Dynasty also died. Additional reinforcements were originally going to be sent to the Western Regions, but now we must first mourn the emperor.

After Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he decided to teach the Xiongnu and the Cheshi people a lesson, because Cheshi had another rebellion at this time. However, the Han army's attack did not achieve results. After finally connecting, the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Regions were forced to

After being blocked, control of the northern part of the Western Region once again fell into the hands of the Northern Huns.

Ban Chao continued to persist in the Western Regions for more than a year, but finally Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty ordered him to return to the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Ban Chao was about to return to his country, the people in the western and southern countries were reluctant to let him go, so Ban Chao decided not to leave.

Ban Chao continued to lead his men to fight in the Western Regions, and Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty admired his courage and wisdom very much. He also sent a large army to the Western Regions to support Ban Chao. Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty saw that Ban Chao was doing well in the Western Regions, so he sent a second wave of troops to him.

Reinforcements.

After several years of fighting, Ban Chao once again became a powerful force in the Western Regions.

Ban Chao then defeated the Kingdom of the Moon, and the Kingdom of the Moon had to ask for help from Kucha, but the envoy sent was killed by Ban Chao on the way. The Kingdom of the Moon was defeated soon after, and Kucha and other countries had no choice but to submit to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the Northern Xiongnu suffered a disastrous defeat at Jinwei Mountain in 91 AD and were forced to move the entire country westward.

The Northern Huns all withdrew, so the countries in the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains surrendered to Banchao. The Eastern Han Dynasty restored the Western Regions Protectorate, and Banchou became the new Western Regions Protectorate.

In 94 AD, Ban Chao mobilized his army for the final battle to conquer the Western Regions. After this battle, more than 50 countries in Xinyu resumed the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ban Chao also became famous in one fell swoop, and the dream of the Northern Huns to rely on the Western Regions for revival was shattered.

Short story: Many people like to comfort themselves with the unsatisfactory current situation. It’s okay if they just comfort themselves. The problem is that they are not only used to comfort themselves with this, but also use it to numb themselves and let themselves go.

It doesn't matter if you have a bad fate. Just look at those successful people who have made great achievements. How many of them were born with a golden key? How many of them reached the top step by step without relying on their own hard work?

Now when the word "Li Ka-shing" is mentioned, everyone will show a look of envy. What everyone sees is Li Ka-shing's today's scenery, but ignores the hardships he suffered when he was young. Li Ka-shing is recalling his life as a teenager

At that time, he once said: "When I was 13 years old, my father had lung disease. I took care of him. Later I found out that I also had lung disease. I coughed up blood in the morning and had night sweats at night. I bought medical books and read them myself. No one taught me how to treat this disease.

, I didn’t tell anyone, not even my mother knew I had lung disease. At that time, I had to comfort my father every day, asking him to have confidence and to live. After my father passed away, I took on the burden of the family at the age of 14. I was willing to endure hardships.

, I went to work when I was 17 years old, and the family had a surplus. My younger siblings could go to college, but I had no chance, so I had to hire a tutor. It was really hard back then. It took two or three years to use a towel to wash my face and take a shower.

I can only change it. When I change it, I hold the old towel in my hand. You can't see it from the outside. There are only horizontal and vertical fibers on the towel and no hair. At that time, you could only get a haircut and shave your head once every three months. But in that case, I

I never borrowed a dime from others. It wasn’t until later when I started doing business that I borrowed 40,000 to 50,000 yuan from others. I think it’s good to have endured hardship...

Destiny is responsible for shuffling the cards, but we are the ones who play the cards. A good hand does not necessarily mean we win, and a bad hand does not necessarily mean we lose. The important thing in life is not the position we stand on, but the direction we are facing. If we

If you carefully sort out the current successful people in China, you will find that most of them are not the darlings of fate we imagined. They are very prosperous now and have a bright future, but they have also experienced downturns just like you and me.

Pain, struggle, failure, and confusion. They did not have a prominent family background or a diploma from a prestigious school. They did not get a good deck of cards at the beginning.

For example, Yin Mingshan, who was born in 1938, had terrible cards before he turned 41. His father was a small landowner in the countryside. Because of the so-called composition problem, 12-year-old Yin Mingshan and his mother, who is in her 50s and have small feet,

They lived in an abandoned shabby hut and depended on each other. At the age of 13, Yin Mingshan started working as a salesman traveling in the countryside. At the age of 23, he served nine and a half months in jail for "counter-revolutionary" charges, and was later assigned to supervise labor in a plastic factory. Until the age of 41,

He has just ended his career of more than 20 years as a "cow ghost and snake god". Looking at Tan Chuanhua, the founder of "Tan Carpenter", his fate is also very tragic. He was born in a rural area when he was 18 years old and the palm of his right hand was blown off by a detonator; when he was in his 20s,

Wandering around, sleeping under bridges, being caught as a thief because of his ragged clothes, and even tried to commit suicide to bid farewell to the world. We can list all the people who played "bad cards" but played well.

There is a long list: Zhou Xingchi, the "Song Bingjia" who was born in the slums, Tao Huabi, the "old godmother" who has never read a day, Zhang Qingjie, who sells fruit on a rotten bicycle...
