This is a sentence in the history book Biography of Su Wu. At that time, Xiongnu Khan planned to kill Su Wu, so Su Wu threatened him. Su Wu's original intention was to give the Sultan cruel words so that Khan could not kill himself. Judging from the later results, Su Wu's plan really succeeded-Khan didn't kill him and took him to herd sheep.
As the saying goes, the two armies do not cut, but fight. But why are only the envoys of the Han Dynasty so dangerous that they are easily beheaded and disembowelled? Didn't these kings expect that the powerful Han Dynasty would take revenge for killing the Han envoy?
Next, let's analyze why South Vietnam, North Korea and all countries want to kill Ambassador Han.
It is the simplest and easiest to analyze the reason why North Korea killed the Korean emissary, because it is almost said in the history books:
At that time, North Korea was developing better and better, and many Han Chinese were attracted by the prosperity of North Korea. Some families move, and some don't want to come after they go. With more and more Han people going to Korea, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty decided to conquer Korea and make it his vassal country. So he sent messengers to convince the king of South Korea.
And what this messenger involves is what we want to say. Speaking of North Korea, korean king refused to submit to the Great Han Dynasty. Before leaving, he felt that he had lived in vain. When he came back, he couldn't explain. He wants to make some achievements before he leaves.
What did he do as a result? Seeing that he had no credit, he had the evil idea of "killing the good to get the credit", and before he left, he killed korean king, who sent himself back to China. After returning home, he told Emperor Wu that he had killed a North Korean general. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy when he learned that. He ignored his fault and gave him an official title and a knighthood.
When the North Korean emperor learned of this incident, he was naturally furious and sent troops to kill him directly.
Arguably, all these things involved deserve to die, and korean king's revenge is even more natural. But unfortunately, only the weak are reasonable, and the strong themselves are reasonable. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worried that there was no reason for North Korea to submit, so he decided to let North Korea have four counties.
The killing of messengers in South Vietnam also happened during the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. At that time, the old king of South Vietnam died, and the new king of South Vietnam was very young. All state affairs were handled by the Queen Mother. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned about this, he sent Ji Shao, the former lover of the Empress Dowager, as his special envoy.
Anguo Ji Shao went to South Vietnam for talks with Empress Dowager Cixi. One is a slut and the other is an adulterer. They have already had an affair, so they started talking and went to bed.
If an adulterer and an adulteress are in bed, they usually discuss how to kill the original owner and how to divide the family property. However, one of them is the queen and the other is the special envoy of the great man. Of course, the discussion between East, High and West is more advanced. They discussed how to make the Han Dynasty annex South Vietnam.
This kind of thing, in the current words, is called "collusion with foreign forces", but I guess South Vietnam did not have this law at that time. In addition, they also did many ugly things: secretly planted all the gold, silver and jewels of South Vietnam and sent them to the Han Dynasty, and lured South Vietnam to the Han Dynasty as slaves. Ye Nan, who was already small, was made by this adulterer and whore.
The Prime Minister of South Vietnam told Lv Jia to protest and called the Queen a traitor to glory. The queen coaxed and coerced, but the old man refused. The two men discussed it, but there was nothing they could do. Let's find a chance to kill the old man. As a result, the murderer hesitated as soon as he let go, and the old man himself hid.
The queen mother commits adultery, and the Chinese are not attached. They want to punish Jia alone, but they can't.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought: The queens of South Vietnam were all slept by our messengers, so this place is mine. Prepare to send two thousand soldiers to take over South Vietnam.
Lv Jia learned that he was going to die in Baiyue, so he went to war with local farmers. The first thing Lv Jia did after his departure was to break into the palace and kill the Queen Mother and Ambassador China.
This is the story of South Vietnam killing Ambassador China.
The demise of Dawan can be described by an idiom: people are innocent and guilty. Dawan is a place in the northwest, with many grasslands. Such a place has been a good place to produce and raise horses since ancient times. This has also become the source of Dayuan's future tragedy.
Dawan and Ambassador China have long been on bad terms, and Ambassador China doesn't like this place very much.
It turned out that when Ambassador China came, he had no money to eat or ride a horse. China's envoys are usually people of noble status. Isn't this kind of person giving you face when he comes to Dawan? We Han people still have to give you money to eat? Shameless!
As for why kill Han Shi?
Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a fancy to Dawan's horse and wanted to buy a thoroughbred horse. As I said before, there is nothing else in Dawan, but good horses. As a national treasure, Dawan Wang doesn't want to sell it. Ambassador China pointed at Wang Wan's nose in court, and then smashed the Golden Horse of the King of Bowl.
So King Dawan was so angry that he sent someone to hack Ambassador China to death.
Then Dawan became the racecourse of the Han Dynasty.
These three stories happened in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they were all envoys sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Never invaded in his life, but through active defense, he annexed three countries. Not the kui is a "wu" as the emperor of posthumous title.
At the beginning of the Han dynasty, the territory of the Han dynasty was like this:
Then, after three beheadings of Ambassador China during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the territory of the Han Dynasty became like this:
Even Su Wu, which we have always regarded as a symbol of national integrity, has been widely circulated, so that many people have forgotten why the Huns killed Su Wu.
Su Wu is suspected of kidnapping Khan's mother and killing a Xiongnu general ... I didn't make this up, so it is recorded in Hanshu.
But the Huns were really smart, and didn't really kill Su Wu. However, the Huns of later generations did not escape the fate of extinction. Left a sad "Xiongnu Song" and disappeared into history.
It may be an accident to behead once or twice, but not necessarily three or four times in a row.
