Section 4: Restoration becomes a dream

The tiger roars in the wind, the dragon leaps over the clouds, and the time will never come again. Try to look far from the sky, the long Huai River is clear and shallow, and the present is nostalgic for the past. The atmosphere of the homeland is heavy. The ambition is stretched, and the Xiongnu has not been destroyed. Why should we call it home early? It should be, After the whipping is over, the tax driver will return. Jiaxuan chats about the famous restaurant. Fan Chi is still not interested in learning to laugh. It seems like sleeping high in Nanyang, enjoying himself in the suburbs of Xin, Taolue in Fengxi, Fu Yeyanmei, in front of Zhizhang Pavilion , downstairs in Jishan, five osmanthus and three locust trees were planted one after another. With success and fame, he retreated bravely towards the rapids and was willing to linger.

The Northern Xiongnu were not only at war with the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also with the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei. What was even more frightening was that at this time, internal strife broke out among the Xiongnu. This incident led to the Northern Xiongnu's defeat in the Western Regions, and They had to leave their hometown to find a new living space.

The Xiongnu sent some people back to the Southern Xiongnu territory to nomadically, and they were immediately attacked fiercely by the Southern Xiongnu. Before the Southern Xiongnu had time to celebrate after their victory, a huge locust plague hit the Southern Xiongnu territory. Fortunately, with the help of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu Only then did he successfully get through the difficulties.

Many tribes of the Huns also planned to go south and surrender to the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 83 AD, a large number of people of the Huns surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The scale of this rebellion was very large, so it caused great harm to the Northern Huns. The Northern Chanyu was very panicked. , sent envoys to request the Eastern Han Dynasty to resume trade with the Northern Xiongnu. The Eastern Han Dynasty took this opportunity to speed up the win-over of the nobles of the Northern Xiongnu. In 85 AD, some Xiongnu people surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

What made the situation worse for the Northern Xiongnu was that at this time, the Southern Xiongnu sent troops to attack the Northern Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu fell into a situation of internal and external embarrassment. In 87 AD, the Xianbei people invaded the Northern Xiongnu again, and the Northern Chanyu was killed. There was great chaos in the Northern Xiongnu territory. More than 200,000 people surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, the Northern Huns were attacked by natural disasters again. However, after the death of Shanyu of the Northern Huns, the Northern Huns once again fell into a situation of brotherly struggle for profit.

In 88 AD, Empress Dowager Dou of the Eastern Han Dynasty convened her ministers to discuss whether to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to attack the Northern Huns. Although many people objected, Empress Dowager Dou still decided to send troops to attack the Xiongnu. This was because on the one hand, they were too rich and wanted to see more manpower. Industry, and the second reason is that his brother Dou Xian was sentenced for committing a crime, so he wanted him to serve the crime. In this way, Queen Mother Dou asked Dou Xian to lead an army to attack the Northern Huns.

Dou Xian was indeed a general. After he led his army to the territory of the Northern Huns, he encountered the main force of the Northern Huns. The Northern Chanyu was defeated and his tribesmen fled in all directions. Dou Xian made a great contribution in this battle. With his military exploits, he was even able to catch up with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. The only regret was that Bei Shanyu escaped. When Dou Xian withdrew his troops, he still left some people behind to search for Bei Shanyu's whereabouts.

After asking around, these people found the lost Bei Danyu, and then persuaded him to follow the example of Hu Hanxie Chanyu and lead his men to submit to the Eastern Han Dynasty. At this time, Bei Danyu had no other choice but to choose to return to the South and return to the Han Dynasty. But when he arrived, On the way, he heard that the large army of the Han army had returned to the territory. So he regretted it again. He wanted his brother to go to the East China Sea to investigate first, while he continued to stay on the grassland and wait and see.

When the Southern Xiongnu heard that the Northern Xiongnu was going to surrender to the Eastern Han Dynasty, they became anxious and urged Empress Dowager Dou to destroy the Northern Xiongnu. Empress Dowager Dou actually agreed to the request of the Southern Xiongnu. With the approval of the Eastern Han Dynasty, she decided to surrender to the Eastern Han Dynasty when the Northern Shanyu planned to surrender. At that time, the Southern Xiongnu took the opportunity to attack Bei Danyu. Bei Danyu finally broke through and escaped. However, his seal, wife and children were all captured.

After this battle, the Southern Huns gained a lot. Not only did they seize countless gold and silver treasures, but many tribesmen from the Northern Huns came to defect. The population of the Southern Huns suddenly expanded to 240,000, and their military strength also expanded to 5

Thousands of people.

Dou Xian also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to simply wipe out the Northern Xiongnu. So he figured out the specific positions of the Northern Chanyu, and then led the Han army to attack 5,000 miles away. Before the Northern Chanyu had time to resist, he was already captured by the Han.

The army was defeated and defeated. But Bei Shanyu was lucky enough to escape again, and he fled to Wusun Kingdom.

After the Northern Xiongnu were destroyed, the remaining Xiongnu dispersed mainly in four directions.

First, after Beidan Yu fled to Wusun, he could no longer stay there and moved to Kangju. Moreover, Beidan Yu brought this group of buddies with him and gradually became more prosperous. In the middle of the fourth century AD, he had a conflict with the Alan people.

war, and destroyed the Alan Kingdom. Later, these northern Huns invaded Europe westward in three phases, setting off a war storm on the European battlefield.

Second, after the Northern Chanyu escaped, Dou Xian left his younger brother and became a new Chanyu. But later Dou Xian was killed by the emperor. The Northern Chanyu fled back to Mobei without authorization because of fear.

This group of people was finally eliminated by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Third, there are still some people who have taken refuge in the emerging Xianbei, and they are no longer called Xiongnu, but directly renamed Xianbei. Among them, one of the most powerful tribes among the three ancestors, the Yuwen tribe, is the descendant of the Yuwen tribe of the Northern Xiongnu.

In addition, a small number of people were continued to stay in Mobei by the Huns. It was not until the fifth century AD that these people were merged into the rising Rouran.

Because the Southern Xiongnu had lived together with the Han people for a long time, they gradually transitioned from a nomadic civilization to an agricultural civilization. In addition, the Eastern Han Dynasty strictly controlled them, so these people could not make any waves.

After the Northern Huns were completely wiped out, the Southern Huns still had the idea of ​​reviving and unifying the Huns. However, Donghang would definitely not allow him to achieve this goal. In fact, as time went by, the Chanyu had slowly become an official under the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Name, he had lost absolute control over the Huns.

In 93 AD, Nan Danyu died and Anguo succeeded to the throne. However, many people in the country did not want Anguo to succeed, but liked Shizi. So Anguo wanted to get rid of Shizi. In fact, Shizi had no ambitions. But this

This incident was discovered by an envoy sent by the Eastern Han Dynasty to supervise. Moreover, the Northern Huns had already been destroyed by this time, so the envoy wanted to provoke civil strife among the Southern Huns.

Not long after, Anguo led his men to attack Shizi. Anguo's uncle was afraid that the matter would cause a big problem, so he killed Anguo and appointed Shizi as Nan Danyu.

Those Anguo party members began to rebel again. The southern Xiongnu split again. That part of the people fled back to Mobei and established Fenghou as a chanyu. The life of the northern chanyu was not easy because the Mobei grassland had been occupied by the Xianbei tribe.

, so they were attacked by Xianbei many times.

Not long after, the master passed away and passed the throne to Tan. He led his army to attack Fenghou many times. Fenghou felt that it was difficult to resist. He took the initiative to send an envoy to Luoyang to request a marriage. Because something happened in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he did not agree.

His marriage request.

Seeing that the marriage failed, Fenghou turned his attention to the Western Regions. Since Empress Dowager Deng of the Eastern Han Dynasty came to power at this time, Empress Dowager Deng was not interested in the Western Regions and gradually gave up on managing the Western Regions. Therefore, Fenghou wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the Western Regions.

He quickly conquered all the countries in the Western Region and forced them to pay taxes.

Nan Danyu also saw the weakness of the rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so they also took the opportunity to cause trouble. Nan Danyu and Wuhuan rebelled together, but they were quickly judged.

After the emerging Xianbei occupied the territory of the Northern Xiongnu, they also continued to harass the Eastern Han Dynasty border. In 117 AD, Beidan Danyu was exterminated by Xianbei, and Fenghou was the last Beidan Danyu with a clear lineage.

Later, King Huyan of the Northern Huns took the opportunity to cause trouble in the Western Regions. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Deng of the Eastern Han Dynasty ignored him. However, he unexpectedly united with the Western Regions to invade Hexi regardless of life and death. Now the Eastern Han Dynasty could not sit idly by.

Ban Chao's son Ban Yong was appointed as the Chief Historian of the Western Regions. He reproduced Ban Chao's bravery in the Western Regions. In 126 AD, King Huyan was defeated and his tribe surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 127 AD, the entire Western Regions were pacified.

After that, the remnants of the Huns continued to invade the Western Regions, but they were defeated and driven away without causing much trouble. Until 151 AD, another Northern Xiongnu King Huyan led 3,000 cavalry to invade the Western Regions, and this time they were also defeated.

The joint attack of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions forced the Huns to flee hastily. This was the last time the Northern Huns appeared on the land of the Western Regions.

Although the Northern Huns completely withdrew from the Western Regions, the rebellion of the Southern Huns against the Eastern Han Dynasty was still happening. The Eastern Han Dynasty continued to rebel against the Southern Huns and adopted the strategy of offering rewards for surrender. A large number of Southern Huns continued to surrender to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the Eastern Han Dynasty also implemented the policy of using barbarians to control barbarians, allowing the Qiang people to pacify the Southern Xiongnu. When the Qiang people rebelled, the Wuhuan people were allowed to pacify the Qiang people.

It was never suppressed.

By the time Cao Cao came to power, Nan Shanyu had been completely ignored, with only the name of Shanyu remaining, and he naturally lost the ability to make trouble.

In 220 AD, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. After the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the vassal state of the Southern Xiongnu also disappeared. Although Cao Pi also awarded some titles to the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, his status and situation are now different from those of Cao Wei's ministers.

There is no difference. The people of the Southern Xiongnu also officially became the people of Cao Wei.

Short story: Lincoln, the famous president in American history, was born in a poor peasant family. He experienced ups and downs on his growth path. Someone once made statistics for Lincoln and said that he only succeeded three times in his life, but failed.

He had passed 35 times, but his third success made him become the President of the United States. This was indeed the case. In the end, it was his strength that finally made him favored by fate for the third time, or that he succeeded for the third time.

When he failed to run for the Senate, he said: "The road was difficult and muddy. One foot slipped and the other foot became unstable. But I took a breath and told myself that it was just a slip.

Falling does not mean that you are dead and unable to get up."

The waves of time push one after another. How many times will an overwhelmed life have to endure frustrations and hardships? Those who constantly overcome hardships and continue to fight after repeated defeats are the ones most likely to succeed. When it comes to talking about

The phrase "repeated defeats and repeated battles" could not be avoided by Zeng Guofan in the late Qing Dynasty. This scholar-born scholar was ordered to return to Hunan in 1852 to organize regiment training. In the first few years after the regiment training began to take shape, the only thing he did was

One thing about success is to only lose battles.

From the time he was trained as a land and sea division in 1854 to the defeat at Yangzhanling in 1860, Zeng Guofan was defeated again and again. There were countless small defeats and four major defeats: the first expedition of the Hunan Army in 1854 was in Yuezhou

He was beaten to a pulp by the Taiping Army: in 1855, the entire army was wiped out in Poyang Lake, Jiangxi, and even his command ship was snatched away; in 1858, general Li Xubin led his troops in a bloody battle in Sanhe Town, and 6,000 soldiers were not able to survive. Sanxiang was everywhere in the country.

Su; In 1860, when Li Zicheng broke Yangzhanling, Zeng Guofan wrote a suicide note in the camp 60 miles away and hung a sword in his tent, hoping to die. Fortunately, Li Zicheng took the initiative to retreat.

Just like a phoenix rising from the flames, Zeng Guofan, the ever-defeating general who was ridiculed by the Manchu ministers as "repeatedly defeated", finally used his "repeatedly defeated" courage and determination to reach Nanjing and proved it with his actions.

He is a strong person.

If we are confused when we are frustrated and unable to get up, we will only be frustrated and frustrated, and will eventually lose our future. But if we calm down, straighten our backs, shrink our height like a spring but accumulate energy, we will only

You can rise again when the opportunity arises. Only when you have setbacks will you rise. Don't break the backbone of your life's progress because of setbacks.

On October 15, 2008, Wang Yongqing, the chairman of "Taiqi" ​​who enjoyed the reputation of "God of Management" in Taiwan, passed away at the age of 92. Wang Yongqing first worked in a rice store when he was young, and later started by running a rice store. He

Along the way, he experienced many ups and downs and setbacks. He once said: "When people are frustrated, they must endure hunger like a skinny goose, exercise their endurance, and wait for opportunities to come." During the Anti-Japanese War,

, due to lack of food, Wang Yongqing had to let his geese go to the wild to forage. Generally speaking, after raising the geese for 4 months, it weighs five or six pounds. However, the geese raised at that time only ate weeds, 4

After a month, it still only weighed two kilograms. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the food crisis eased, and the lean goose had sufficient feed, it was able to rapidly increase from two kilograms to seven or eight kilograms in two months! The reason is that it is thin.

Geese have tenacious vitality, not only have a great appetite, but also have strong digestion power, so as long as they have something to eat, they will gain weight immediately.

There is an Italian proverb that says: "Even before the fruit is ripe, it tastes bitter." The feeling of bitterness is an inevitable part of growth and inner struggle. We may often say to ourselves: "Why me? I have tried hard enough, but

It's so unfair that fate is always against me." Who doesn't feel this way? However, if you allow yourself to be trapped in resentment and despair, you will never mature as a person and growth will not occur.

.Painful situations are like fertilizer dropped on one's own field, which can promote self-growth. The seedlings in one's own field will grow stronger and healthier because of being cultivated and fertilized.

Our human nature is not perfectly developed from the beginning. On the contrary, it is gradually perfected after going through the competition and challenges of daily life, just like a piece of iron that can be shaped after being tempered in the blacksmith's furnace. In the face of frustration, we cannot
