Chapter 23: Living in the same room

The custom of Wuhuan is to worship the death in battle, they use coffins to collect corpses, there is a ritual of mourning and weeping, but when it comes to burial, they send each other with singing and dancing. They kept a fat dog, led it with a colored rope, and took the horses and clothes of the deceased, and burned them with fire to send the deceased away, which meant entrusting the dog to escort the soul of the deceased back to the Red Mountain. Chishan is in the northwest direction of Liaodong, thousands of miles away, just like the soul of the people of the Central Plains who returned to Mount Tai after they died. They revered the gods and ghosts, and worshipped the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, the stars, the mountains and rivers, and those who had a strong reputation among the leaders of the previous generations. They sacrificed cattle and sheep, and at the end of the sacrifice, they burned all the cattle and sheep to death. The Wuhuan people stipulate that if they disobey the words of the tribal leader, they will be punished by death; If they invade and kill each other, let the tribes take revenge on each other, and if the revenge is endless, they will go to the tribal leader and let the enemy take out horses, oxen, and sheep to redeem their lives; If you kill your father and brother, you are not guilty; If they fled and betrayed and were pursued by the tribal leaders, no village was allowed to take them in, and they were all banished to remote areas or deserts. There are many pit vipers in Wuhuan land, which is located in the southwest of Dingling and northeast of Wusun.

Since Wuhuan was defeated by Maodun, the tribes have been lonely and weak, often surrendering to the Xiongnu, sending cows, horses, and sheep skins every year, and they are not ready after the deadline, and their wives and children are often taken away. When Emperor Wu sent the hussar general Huo Qubing to attack the left area of the Xiongnu, he migrated the Wuhuan people to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong counties outside the Saiwai to reconnoiter the movements of the Xiongnu for the Han Dynasty. The leader of the Wuhuan tribe worships the Son of Heaven once a year, and at this time begins to set up the captain of the Wuhuan school, and the Yulu is 2,000 stones, and the Son of Heaven is supervised and governed by the Wuhuan, and the Wuhuan is not allowed to communicate with the Xiongnu.

During the reign of Emperor Zhao, Wuhuan gradually became stronger, so he dug up the tomb of Xiongnu Shan Yu to avenge his hatred of Maudun. The Huns were furious, so they defeated Wuhuan to the east. When the general Huo Guang learned about it, he sent the Liao general Fan Mingyou to lead 20,000 cavalry from Liaodong to intercept the Xiongnu, but the enemy had already retreated. Fan Mingyou took advantage of the fact that Wuhuan had just been defeated, so he marched into the army to attack Wuhuan, killed more than 6,000 Wuhuan people, and obtained the heads of the three princes of Dandan. Since then, Gu Huan has attacked Sister Yu again, and she is always defeated by Mingyou. At the time of Emperor Xuan, Wuhuan people gradually surrendered and surrendered to the border passes.

When Wang Mang usurped the throne, Wang Mang wanted to attack the Xiongnu, requisitioned the army of the 12 divisions, and sent the general Yan You to lead the troops of Wuhuan and Ding Ling to garrison Daijun, and left all their wives and children in the county as hostages. The Wuhuan people were unaccustomed to the water and soil, and were afraid that there would be no end to the long-term garrison, so they begged many times to let them go. Wang Mang refused to let them go, so the Wuhuan people fled and rebelled, and in turn plundered the property, and the counties killed all the hostages of Wuhuan, so Wuhuan and Wang Mang formed a hatred. The Xiongnu seized the opportunity to lure the chieftain of Wuhuan to serve as officials, and encircled everyone else to make them subordinate.

In the early days of Guangwu, Wuhuan and Xiongnu jointly sent troops to invade the border, and the area of Daijun Yishu was particularly badly affected. The Wuhuan people lived close to the border, and they set out from the felt tent in the morning and arrived at the city after dark. The people of the five counties, all their families have been violated. As a result, counties were destroyed and people were displaced. The white mountain Wuhuan outside the upper valley is the most powerful and wealthy.

In the twenty-first year of the establishment of the military, the imperial court sent the general Fubo Ma Yuan to lead 3,000 cavalry from Wuruan Pass to attack Wuhuan. Wuhuan learned the news in advance, and all fled one after another, and Ma Yuan chased after him, killing more than 100 Wuhuan people to return to the army. The Wuhuan people followed behind the horse aid to attack, but the horse aid fled back day and night, and by the time they entered the border fortress, more than a thousand horses had died.

In the twenty-second year, the Xiongnu were in turmoil, Wuhuan took advantage of the weakness of the Xiongnu to defeat the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu moved north for thousands of miles, and the area south of the desert was empty, so the emperor bribed Wuhuan with money and cloth. In the twenty-fifth year, 922 people, including Hao Dan, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoxi, led his subordinates to submit to Mo, went to the imperial court to pay tribute, and offered slaves and maids, cattle and horses, bows and arrows, and skins of tigers, leopards, and minks.

When the time of repatriation, the ethnic minorities from all over the world came to worship and celebrate, and there was an endless stream, so the Son of Heaven ordered a grand banquet to comfort them and reward them with treasures. Some Wuhuan people were willing to stay as guards, so the emperor named eighty-one Wuhuan chiefs as Hou Wang Junchang, let them live in the Senei, distributed in the border counties, and asked them to recruit people from their own tribes, give them clothes and food, Wuhuan people then reconnoitred the enemy's movements for Han, and helped Mo attack the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

In the autumn of this year, Wuhuan of Yanmen led the kings of Wuhe, and the Xianbei leader Qiu Lun and others and the Gudu Marquis of the Southern Xiongnu, together with more than 7,000 cavalry to invade Wuyuan, and fought with Wuyuan Taishou in the Gaoqu Valley of Jiuyuan, the Han army was defeated, and the county officials were killed. The imperial court then sent the chariot cavalry general He Xi, the Duliao general Liang Zhi and others to attack Wuhe, and they were defeated. There was no begging for surrender, and the Xianbei people fled back to the border fortress. Since then, the Wuhuan people have gradually become close to the Han Dynasty, and the imperial court awarded the clan leader of the Wuhuan clan, Rong Zhumo, as the pro-Han captain.

In the winter of the fourth year of Emperor Yangjia of Shun, Wuhuan invaded Yunzhong, intercepting more than 1,000 ox carts of merchants on the road, and Geng Ye, the general of Duliao, led more than 2,000 people to pursue the Wuhuan people, and the battle was unfavorable, and he fought in Shanan and eliminated 500 people. The Wuhuan people then surrounded Geng Ye in Lanchi City, and the imperial court then recruited 2,000 soldiers who searched for traces and shot and 1,000 soldiers from the Duliao military camp to cooperate with the garrison troops in Shangjun to conquer Wuhuan, and Wuhuan people retreated. In the fifth year of Yonghe, the tribal leaders of Wuhuan, Ajian, Qiangqu and others and Julong Wusi of the left of the Southern Xiongnu rebelled, and Zhang Tan was defeated and killed in the middle, and the rest of the people all surrendered. During the Yongshou reign of Emperor Huan, the Wuhuan people of Shuofang rebelled together with Xiu and Tuge, and Zhonglang attacked Zhang Huan and pacified the enemy. In the summer of the ninth year of Yanxi, Wuhuan invaded nine counties along the border with Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, and they rebelled at the same time.

In the early years of Emperor Ling, there was a tribal leader named Nanlou in Shanggu, who had more than 9,000 tribes, and there was a leader named Qiu Liju in western Liao, who had more than 5,000 tribes, and they all called themselves kings. In addition, Su Fuyan of Liaodong, with more than 1,000 tribes, called himself the king of Qiao; Wuyan in Youbeiping, with more than 800 tribes, called himself the king of Khanlu: they were all brave and strong, and they had many schemes. In the fourth year of the chalk, the original worm mountain was too strong and rebelled, he entered the tribe of Qiu Liju, proclaimed himself the king of Mitian Anding, and then became the marshal of the Wuhuan people in various counties, and invaded and plundered the four states of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou. In five years, the imperial court appointed Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou, and Liu Yu offered a reward to recruit Zhang Chun's head, and the northern states were pacified.
