Su Wuzi is a young man. When he was young, because of his father's position, all his brothers were lang Guan. Gradually promoted to transfer to prison. At that time, Han continued to crusade against the Huns for years, and sent envoys to the Huns many times to spy and observe the movement. Xiongnu detained Han emissary and Lu. More than ten batches before and after. When the envoys of Xiongnu came, Han also took reciprocal action to detain them. In the first year of Tian Han, when he just ascended the throne, Hou Khan was afraid that Han would attack himself and said, "Emperor Gaozu is our elder." Put all the envoys of the Han Dynasty back, such as Lu. In order to reward his kindness, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Su Wu as a corps commander to send back the Xiongnu envoys detained in the Han Dynasty with successive ceremonies. At the same time, I also gave Khan a generous gift in return for his kindness. Su Wu, deputy corps commander John Zhang, temporarily appointed special envoy Chang Hui, as well as recruited infantry and soldiers serving as guards and reconnaissance 100 people set off together. After arriving in Xiongnu, Chen Fang gave Khan a gift. Khan gradually became arrogant, not as Han expected.
Khan wanted to send messengers to send Su Wu and others back, which coincided with the rebellion of Gou Jian, the King of Yue, and Chang Shuiyu and others in Xiongnu-Gou Jian, the younger sister of Gou Jian, surrendered to Han with Gou Jian, the son of Yue, and was later captured by Xiongnu together with Yehou. They colluded with the people brought by Wei Law when he surrendered, trying to hijack Khan's mother E Shi and flee to Han. Su Wu also arrived in Xiongnu just at this time. In the Han Dynasty, Yu Chang kept close ties with John Zhang, an agreement. Yu Chang secretly visited John Zhang and said to John Zhang, "I heard that the emperors of the Han Dynasty hated Wei Law very much. I could ambush a bow and arrow for the Han Dynasty and almost killed Wei Lv. My mother and brother are both in Han. I hope to be rewarded for this. " John Zhang promised him and gave the property to Yuchang. After more than a month, Khan went out hunting, and only E Shi and Khan's children stayed. Yu Chang and other 70 people rose up and rebelled, and one of them fled at night and reported the incident. Khan's children sent troops against Yu Chang and others. Yue Wang Gou and others were killed, and Yu was often taken alive.
Khan sent Wei Law to hear the case. John Zhang heard about it and was worried that what he had said to Yuchang would be leaked, so he told Su Wu about it. Su Wu said, "If this happens, it will definitely implicate me. If you die of humiliation, you are even more sorry for the country. " Su Wu tried to kill himself. John Zhang and Chang Hui stopped him. Danger often gave up John Zhang, Khan was very angry, and called the Xiongnu nobles to discuss and kill the messenger of the Han Dynasty. Left way: "If the crime of murder alone, can be given a heavier punishment? It is best to let them all surrender. " Khan sent Lv Wei to summon Su Wu for trial. Su Wu said to Chang Hui and others, "It's a shame to make Hanjie suffer. Even if you are alive, how dare you go back to the Han Dynasty! " Say that finish, I pulled out my sword and stabbed myself. Wei Lv was taken aback. He personally hugged Su Wu and sent for a doctor on a fast horse. Dig a hole in the ground, put a fire without flame, put Su Wu face down on the hole, and pat him gently on the back to let blood flow out. Su Wu gave up the ghost, and it took a long time to recover. Chang Hui and others cried and drove Su Wu back to camp. Khan thought Su Wu was very brave and strong, and sent someone to meet Su Wu sooner or later, but John Zhang was arrested.
Su Wu's injury gradually improved, so Khan sent someone to tell Su Wu to come and try Yuchang with Wei Law, hoping to make Su Wu defect at this moment. Wei Law killed Yu Changhou with a knife and said, "John Zhang, an envoy of the Han Dynasty, murdered a confidant of Shan Yu and should be put to death. Khan asks those who are willing to surrender to forgive their sins. " John Zhang raised his sword to kill John Zhang and expressed his willingness to surrender. Wei Law said to Su Wu: "If the deputy envoy is guilty, the ambassador will also be punished jointly and severally." Su Wu said, "I didn't participate in the planning, and I'm not a relative. How can I be punished jointly? " Lv Wei raised his sword again, pretending to kill people. Su Wu did not move. Wei Lv said, "Su Jun! Wei Lv once carried the Han Dynasty and joined the Huns. Fortunately, he was given the title of king, with tens of thousands of soldiers, horses and cattle all over the mountain, enjoying such wealth! The Soviet army defected today, and it will be the same tomorrow. Let your body make fertilizer for weeds in vain, who knows! " Su Wu refused. Wei Law said, "You surrendered because of me. You and I are brothers. Now that you don't listen to my plan, is it possible to see me again? " Su Wu scolded Wei Law, saying, "As a courtier of the country, you betrayed the monarch and your relatives and surrendered to the barbarians, regardless of your own kindness. As their prisoner, why want to see you! I only trust you. When you are sent to decide people's lives and deaths, you can't bend the rules and uphold justice. Instead, you want the monarchs of the two countries to fight each other and watch the disaster win or lose. South Vietnam killed the messenger of the Han Dynasty. After being pacified, it was divided into nine counties; Wang Wan killed the messenger of the Han Dynasty, and Wang Wan's head hung under the palace gate in the north of the Han Dynasty Palace. North Korea killed the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and korean king was immediately destroyed; Only the Huns were not destroyed by killing the emissary! You know very well that I refuse to surrender and want the two countries to attack each other. The fall of the Huns began with killing me! " Knowing that Su Wu could not intimidate after all, Wei Law told Khan the situation. Khan wanted Su Wu to mutiny more, and locked Su Wu up in a big cellar, isolated from the outside world and without food. It began to snow. Su Wu lay down, chewed snow and wool in his mouth and swallowed them together, but he didn't die after several days. The Huns regarded him as a god, so they moved Su Wu to a deserted place near the North Sea, and let him graze the ram, and the ram could not come back until he gave birth. Su Wu's men Chang Hui and others were separated from Su Wu and locked up in different places. Su Wu has arrived in Beihai, but the physical goods supplied by Xiongnu haven't arrived yet. Su Wu dug up the grass collected by the wild rats and ate it. Su Wu used Hanjing Festival to herd sheep. When he slept and got up, Bu Wei presided over the Hanjing Festival, and all the temples in the Hanjing Festival collapsed. Five or six years later, Khan's younger brother, King Park Xuan, shot a bird with an arrow with a silk rope at sea. Su weaving net, spinning, crossbow correction. King Xuan liked him very much, so he provided him with food and clothing. After more than three years, Park Xuan-wang was seriously ill and gave Su Wu horses and livestock, wine vessels and felt tents. After the death of King Xuan Yu. All his people have moved away. That winter, Dingling people stole Su Wu's cattle and sheep. Su Wu is once again in poverty and embarrassment.
At first, Su Wu and Li Ling both served as assistant ministers. In the second year of Su Wu's mission to Xiongnu, Li Ling surrendered to Xiongnu and dared not look for Su Wu again. After a long time, Khan sent Li Ling to Beihai to entertain Su Wu. Li Ling then said to Su Wu, "I heard that you and I have always had a deep friendship. That's why I'm here to advise you, Khan. I won't be biased. Treat people with courtesy. In the end, I can't go back to Han, and I suffer in a deserted place for nothing. Where is your honesty and virtue? A few days ago, your eldest brother Su Jia served as a captain in a car and followed the emperor to Xie Yang Palace in Yongdi. When the emperor's car was carried down the steps, it hit a post and broke the shaft. He was impeached for committing disrespect and committed suicide with a sword. The court awarded 2 million yuan for funeral expenses. Your brother Su Ruqing followed the emperor to sacrifice to the land god in Hedong, and acted as a slave eunuch to compete with Huangmen Xu for a boat, pushing Xu into the river, thus drowning and the eunuch escaped. The emperor ordered Ruqing to pursue, but Ruqing didn't catch the eunuch, so she didn't dare to drink poison to commit suicide. When I came, your mother had died, and I was going to send her to Yangling. Your wife is very young. I heard that she has remarried. You only have two sisters, your two girls and a boy, and now more than ten years have passed. I know nothing about life and death. Man's life is like dew in the morning. Very short. Why do you have to suffer for so long? When I first surrendered, I was lost in a trance, like I was going crazy. I'm sorry that my mother was imprisoned in the palace in the Han Dynasty. If you don't want to surrender, where will you be more determined than me? Besides, the emperor is old and the laws are changeable, and dozens of ministers have been destroyed without committing crimes. Even if you go back to the Han Dynasty, your life and death are hard to predict. Who are you keeping integrity for? I hope you will follow my advice and stop saying anything else! " Su Wu said, "Our father and son didn't make any contribution, and they didn't have any good moral character. It was because of the cultivation and promotion of the emperor that they were among the generals and were named children's princes. All three brothers served as close ministers of the emperor and were always willing to die for their country. Now I can get the opportunity to sacrifice myself to serve my country, even if I am hacked to death with an axe and boiled to death in a soup pot, I am really willing. Courtiers serve the monarch as children serve the father, and children die for the father. No regrets. I hope you will stop talking! " How many days did Li Ling and Su Wu drink? He said, "Zi Qing, please listen to me." Su Wu said, "I knew I was going to die! The king insisted that I surrender, so let me end today's rally and die in front of you! " Seeing Su Wu's sincerity, Li Ling sighed deeply and said, "Respectable and loyal righteous man! Wei Lv and I are as empty as the sky! " Tears came down and all my skirts were wet. Li Ling and Su Wu said goodbye to each other. Because of shame, Li Ling didn't want to send anything to Su Wu, and asked his wife to send dozens of cattle and sheep to Su Wu.
Later, Li Ling went to Beihai and told Su Wu: "The prisoners of Yunzhong County were caught on the border, saying that officials and people below the magistrate of the Han Dynasty were all wearing white mourning clothes. Said:' The emperor died!' Hearing this, Su Wu cried south, vomited blood, and cried for several months in the morning and evening. "。
A few years after Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, the Xiongnu made peace with the Han Dynasty and got married. Su Wu and others were asked by the Han Dynasty, and the Huns lied that Su Wu was dead. Later, the envoys of the Han Dynasty went to Xiongnu again, and Chang Hui invited the guards to join. In the evening, he met the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and he stated all his experiences over the years. He also taught the envoys of the Han Dynasty to say to Shan Yu: "The emperor was hunting in Shanglinyuan, shooting wild geese with silks tied to their feet to show that Su Wu and others were somewhere in osawa." The messenger was very happy and said that as usual, he blamed Khan. Khan looked at his entourage and was very surprised. He apologized to Ambassador China and said, "Su Wu and others are really alive."
So Li Ling offered a toast to congratulate Su Wu and said, "Since you have returned to the Han Dynasty, you have made a name for yourself in the Xiongnu, which shows your achievements in the Han Dynasty. Even if what is recorded and described in ancient calligraphy and painting, what can surpass you? " Although I am incompetent and timid, if the Han Dynasty can temporarily forgive my sins, save my mother and let me display my long-cherished wish under great shame, maybe I can do what Cao Mo did when he made an alliance with Yi Ke. This is something I will never forget sooner or later! It is the greatest shame in the world to arrest and execute my family. What can I miss? It's all over, just to let you know my heart I am already a foreigner, and this difference will be long! "Li Ling got up and danced and sang," Wan Li went all the way across the desert to fight for you and crusade against the Huns. Roads were cut off, weapons were destroyed and the whole army was wiped out. When my old mother died, even if I wanted to repay her kindness, where could I go! "Singing, Li Ling shed tears and bid farewell to Su Wu. Khan called to meet Su Wu's troops, except those who surrendered and those who died in battle. There were always nine people who followed Su Wu back to Han.
In the spring of the sixth year of Shiyuan, Su Wu returned to Beijing. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Su Wujin to offer a cow, a pig and a sheep as sacrifices to visit the emperor in the temple of the cemetery. Appointed as a classic country (in charge of foreign affairs) and given a salary of two thousand stones; Give 2 million, two hectares of public land, a house. Chang Hui, Xu Sheng, and Zhao Zhonggen all worshipped the official as a corps commander, and each of them gave 200 pieces of cloth and silk. The other six people are old, so let them go home, each with 100 thousand yuan, free of life corvee tax. Chang Hui was later promoted to the rank of right general, and was named as a Liehou, in addition to his biography. Su Wu stayed in Xiongnu for 19 years, in the prime of life, and came back completely white.
