Chapter 1 Command

In the early summer of the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty (100 BC), the morning sun was rising, and the city of Chang'an was quiet. The fifty-six-year-old Han Wu sat on the dragon seat in the court hall www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, looking at the civil and military officials under the hall, and was in a very happy mood.

A few years ago, the Xiongnu who were driven to the area of Mobei Wolf Fortress Xu Mountain (now Hangai Mountain in Mongolia) recuperated their spirits and began to collude with the Dawan Kingdom to rebel against our Han Dynasty, in a vain attempt to cut off the road to the Western Regions of our Dynasty, and he immediately sent his uncle Li Guangli to conquer the rebellious Dawan Kingdom with heavy troops. However, the Xiongnu who connected Dawan often invaded the countries along the way to the Western Regions, robbing people and money, and making those small countries panic. He was about to send troops to teach the Xiongnu a lesson, when the newly enthroned Xiaoshan Yu and Marquis Shan Yu sent an envoy to sue for peace. He not only sent two sweat-sweated horses, but also sent a letter saying: "The Emperor of Han is my elder," but also sent back to our court more than 10 groups of envoys Guo Ji and Lu Chongguo, who had sent envoys to the Xiongnu in our court over the years. Knowing that this is a delaying tactic by the Xiongnu Xindan for fear of our attack, but after all, mobilizing troops to conscript is also a big thing that hurts the country, money, and people. He recalled that in the 40 years since he ascended the throne, he had sent generals to recruit troops against the Xiongnu many times, and had also sent envoys to each other many times, and both sides had also detained each other's envoys...... Now that they are afraid, they will seek peace first, and we must also treat each other with reason.

The emperor thought about it and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have all learned that the Xiongnu have come to sue for peace and have sent back all the envoys of our court. Ladies and gentlemen, what do we say?"

The whole court was silent, and they all knew that according to the custom, we would also send back their envoys to our court to the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu have always rebelled, and this time they may be detained again, and life is better than death. No one dared to be the first to speak, for fear of asking for a word to say a word, and let themselves go to the Huns.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the expressions below that he bowed his head and was silent, and said, "Taishi Ling Sima Qian, you say, what should I do?"

The 36-year-old Sima Qian hurriedly stepped forward to salute and replied, "Your Majesty: According to the custom, I should exchange courtesies!"

"Aiqing is flat!"

"Long live Xie!" Sima retreated and stood in his place.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked everyone: "Zhong Aiqing, you say, is what Tai Shiling said right?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already thought of an idea and a candidate. It's just to say hello to everyone in the court. He said to the following: "Xuan Servant Su Wu!"

The eunuch shouted below: "Xuansu Wu is here!"

Forty years old, mighty and strong, Su Wu, the attendant officer in charge of the emperor's pommel horse eagle dog hunting tools, went to the hall and bowed: "Su Wu, long live!

The emperor was crowned an official: "I remember your father and brothers as loyal to the country, and I specially named you as a Zhonglang general!"

Su Wu kowtowed and said, "Long live, long live, long live!"

"Aiqing is flat!"

"Long live Xie!" Su Wu was secretly happy in his heart, and he slipped up and stood aside.

The emperor happily said to the officials: "Now that the Xiongnu Xiaoshan Yu has ascended the throne, send someone back to our envoy to ask for peace, we must also treat each other with courtesy and send someone back their envoy to our court!"

Everyone patted their ass: "The emperor is wise!"

Emperor Wu of Han pondered for a moment and said, "Zhonglang General Su Wu: Listen to orders!"

"The minister is here!" Su Wu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to listen.

"Now, the Xiongnu sent people back to the more than a dozen groups of envoys who were detained by our dynasty to sue for peace, and we will also send back their corresponding more than ten batches of all envoys. I ordered you to lead a hundred soldiers to accompany and escort the Hun envoys, what do you think?"

How dare he disobey the emperor's order! He had no choice but to say: "Minister, minister obey the order!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Hehehehe, from today onwards, I will let the Xiongnu envoy Lu Chongguo and others for many years introduce you to the current situation of the Xiongnu, and you have to understand it in many ways." I'll send someone to arrange everything and leave in three days!"

"Minister, obey!" Su Wu bowed!

"Aiqing is flat, go and prepare!" Emperor Wu of Han was complacent.

"Long live, long live!" Su Wu knew the difficulty of the mission, he struggled to get up and slowly retreated.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to the officials: "Retreat!"

At noon the next day, the sun was shining, and there were many merchants in Chang'an City.

Outside the gate of Su's house, Li Ling, a thirty-six-year-old cavalry captain, hurriedly beat his horse and came to stop. He dismounted but pondered: today he had just returned from Jiuquan Pass, and heard that the emperor had sent Su Wu to envoy the Xiongnu, and he knew the difficulty of this trip, so he came to visit. However, in the face of such a sudden incident, he came boldly and met his good friend Brother Su Ren, but he hadn't figured out how to speak......

Alas, I was too reckless! He blamed himself in his heart, led the horse and turned around and bowed his head and left, silently thinking about walking for a long time, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Brother Xian, please stay!" He looked up and saw that it was Brother Su Ren coming towards him. "Brother Ren!" Li Ling smiled innocently.

"Borrow a step to speak!" Su Wu pulled him, and the two hurried all the way to a small alley restaurant, Li Ling tied his horse and sat down in the restaurant together. Su Wu instructed: "Little Er, bring up the pot of wine!"

The wine was served and the food was served. Su Wu poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Li Ling, raised his glass and said, "Brother Xian, do it!"

Li Ling looked at him and drank it all, put down his wine glass and said to him: "Brother Ren, my brother just came back today, and I learned that you are going to send an envoy to the Huns, and I was about to see you, so I met you at a time! What do you command?"

Su Wu didn't know how to speak, and when he heard Li Ling's question, he said: "Brother Xian knows that there are only my mother's mother and your sister-in-law who got married three years ago in my brother's family, as well as my soon-to-be-grown son, as well as a few children of my brother and younger brother.

Su Wu said, knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Li Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Brother Ren, don't worry! The friendship between our brothers is extraordinary, and this is as it should be! If Brother Ren doesn't say anything, the younger brother will do the same!"

Li Ling's grandfather, Li Guang, and his uncle died many years ago with the generals Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who were fighting against the Xiongnu, and so did Su Wu's father, Su Jian. After the death of his ancestors, the emperor brought the only remaining male of the two families, Li Ling of the Li family and Su Wu of the Su family, to his side as attendants, Li Ling was the cavalry attendant, and Su Wu was the attendant in charge of the emperor's pommel horse eagle dog hunting tools.

Both of them were waiting for the emperor, and the two who were sick and sympathetic often got together because of work opportunities, and over time they became good friends, good friends and good brothers who had nothing to talk about.

"This trip is not trivial! I don't know if my brother can return smoothly?" Su Wu worried.

"Brother Ren, don't worry, this time it was the other party who took the initiative to sue for peace, and you will come back soon!" Li Ling said briskly, "Judging from my experience of fighting with my grandfather and the Huns since I was a child, Brother Ren will definitely come back soon this time, at least in early winter!"

"With my brother's good words, coupled with my efforts, I must come back!" Su Wu was full of confidence.
