Turning on the candle and fluttering the candle, I returned home from a dream. I wanted to find the traces of the past, but I was disappointed. The wish of heaven was violated. --------"Huanxi Sand" by Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty

On the north side of the vast Ordos grassland, thousands of miles of Yinshan Mountain towers like clouds, blocking the cold current in the far north, creating a beautiful natural pasture. Chilechuan is located in the valley at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain. The weather in early September is perfect for the crisp autumn air, and the warm grassland is full of flowers in full bloom, full of endless life and interest.

After careful observation by Zhou Buyi and others, they finally drew a brief map. The terrain of the Chile River is long and narrow, with a large piece of grassland in the middle recessed into the valley, like an open gourd. It is surrounded by low hills on three sides. It leads to the outer prairie, where there are luxuriant grasses, flowers, and occasional water smoke, just like a fairyland. Not to mention cattle and sheep, like black and white clouds, dotting the vast grass mat.

The troops of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu were stationed at Hulukou to guard the passage. There were about seven or eight thousand people. A dozen miles inside is a large village, and the most magnificent yurts in the middle are the residence and office of King Zuoxian. The Chile River is rich in water and grass, with flocks of cattle and sheep, self-sufficient, and the winter is not very cold. Therefore, this large village has become a settlement for tens of thousands of Huns. Every family has several strong horses and several pens of cattle and sheep, leaning against Abundant water plants, life is peaceful and abundant.

Everyone in the Huns has soldiers, and swords and daggers are not a problem. Once a fight breaks out between other tribes, it can be said that they are a fully armed force in an instant. Chilechuan is like a paradise on the grassland, and the person who can occupy this paradise is naturally not Yi Yu.

The strength of Chilechuan Datun is far superior to that of the surrounding pastures.

Chen Long carefully looked at the map with his hands, pointed at a gap in the cliff of Chilechuan Mountain and said, "Yuan Zhi! Where is this gap?"

Zhou Busuo took a look and said: "Lord Mingjian. There seems to be a gap on the map here. In fact, the mountain top is unknown, but there are streams flowing out of Yinshan Mountain, forming a natural waterfall at the gap."

Chen Long said "oh" and continued to search along the mountain line, but it was difficult to find a place where the cavalry could attack. Chen Long said simply: "Since King Zuo Xian showed no signs of special precautions, it means that he is still immersed in the gentle countryside and has no preparation for our attack."

After saying these words, Chen Long thought of the allusion of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress, and wondered whether Wenji might become the mother of the country recognized by the Huns like Zhaojun. Then I thought of the sorrow and hatred in "Eighteen Beats of Hujia". Wenji's pain was as deep as the ocean; her longing for her motherland was like her closest lover.

Chen Long also felt pain in his heart. Seeing Chen Long frowning, Chu Feiyan couldn't help but worry for her lover. She got angry every minute. She slapped the table and stood up. She shouted angrily at Zhou Buyi: "You don't have a bird picture?" What kind of bird is it for?"

After speaking, he winked at Zhao Yun and said: "Little pretty general, you quickly lead the army to attack Hulukou. Brother Long and I took advantage of the chaos to go deep and rescue the person that Brother Long liked. Everything will be fine after the rain."

Chen Long was dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought that this beauty was also a weirdo, but she was also a pistachio. However, the most reasonable truth is often the simplest truth. No matter how many and complicated you think, it is better to put it into action.

When Zhao Yun saw Chu Feiyan's heroic appearance and beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but think of Tong Feifei, and his heart ached, and then Fan's charming face flashed through his mind. Zhao Yun's thoughts have gradually been drawn to Fan, and it seems that the pain for Tong Feifei has dissipated because of his love for Chen Long.

Chen Long, however, sneered at Chu Feiyan's violent temper and said, "Hey, you know how to be reckless. It's a pity that my special forces are not around. Otherwise, why would it be difficult to sneak into Chile River at night and rescue Wen Ji?"

Liu Bao, after the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun Chanyu, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Fuluo's son, the father of Han Zhao Guangwen Emperor Liu Yuan, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu during the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, had great admiration for Han culture.

According to the official history, in 188 AD, due to the unrest of the Southern Xiongnu, Liu Bao stayed in Han. In 196 AD, his uncle Huchuquan succeeded the Chanyu after the death of Yufuluo, and Liu Bao became the Xian King of Zuo, and later took over the left part of the Xiongnu (one of the five Xiongnu tribes). Since his legitimate son Liu Yuan was born in 251 AD So it is generally believed that Liu Bao has a long life. Volume 80 of "Zizhi Tongjian" records: "In the fifth year of Emperor Shizuwu's reign in Xianning (AD 279), Huibao died and Yuan Dai was appointed commander of the left army."

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, married a daughter of his clan to Maodun Chanyu as a concubine, and they became brothers. Therefore, as the descendants of Maodun Chanyu, the leader of the Xiongnu during the Western Han Dynasty, the descendants of Maodun Chanyu All have the surname Liu.

In the early years of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25), You'ao Dan, the son of the Xiongnu Uzhu Liuruo Danyu, called himself Nan Shanyu and settled in Meiji, Xihe.

From then on, the Xiongnu split into two branches: the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu.

During the Zhongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty (around 184 AD), Liu Bao's grandfather Qiangqu Shanyu sent his son Yu Fuluo (Liu Bao's father) to lead troops to assist the Eastern Han Dynasty and participate in the battle against the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, the Qiangqu Chanyu was killed by his countrymen, so the soldiers led by General Yu Fulo stayed in the Eastern Han Dynasty and called themselves Chanyu. Immediately after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yu Fuluo led his troops to plunder Taiyuan and Hedong, and then stationed in Hanoi.

After Yu Fuluo's death, Huchuquan, Yu Fuluo's younger brother and Liu Bao's uncle, succeeded Shan Yu and appointed Liu Bao as the Xian King of Zuo. Later, Cao Cao divided Huchuquan's soldiers into five divisions and appointed Liu Bao as the commander of the left division. The remaining commanders were also appointed by Xiongnu surnamed Liu.

In the fifth year of Xianning (AD 279), Liu Bao passed away, and the Western Jin Dynasty appointed Liu Yuan, Liu Bao's son, as the acting left commander. Later, Liu Yuan established the Han and Zhao regimes among the Sixteen Kingdoms.

According to official history, during the Jiaping period of Cao Wei (249 AD - 254 AD), Liu Bao's wife Hu Yan once prayed to God to give her a son at Longmen. After a while, a big fish with two horns on its head swung. The fins and scales swayed as they swam to the place where they were worshiping the gods. They swam away after a long time. The wizards felt very strange when they saw this scene, and they said: "This is a good sign."

That night, Hu Yanshi dreamed that the fish he saw during the day turned into a human being, holding something in his left hand, about half the size of an egg. The sight was alluring. He gave it to Hu Yanshi and said: "This is the essence of the sun. If you eat it, you can give birth to a precious son." After waking up from the dream, Hu Yanshi told Liu Bao her dream, and Liu Bao said: "This is a good sign." . In the past, I asked Situ, the mother of Zhang Jiong from Handan, to read my fortune. She said that I would have descendants of nobles and that our family would be very prosperous in three generations. Situ's words were consistent with what is happening now." After that, it passed. In the thirteenth month, Hu Yan gave birth to his son Liu Yuan. When Liu Yuan was born, there were lines with the character Yuan on his left hand, so Liu Bao took Yuan as his name. Later, Liu Yuan turned out to be a noble man, established the Han and Zhao regimes, and became an emperor.

In the official history, Cai Yan, also named Wenji and Zhaoji, was born in Yuxian County, Chenliu County (now Qixian County, Kaifeng, Henan) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was the daughter of Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. She first married Wei Zhongdao. After her husband died, she returned to her home. Later, due to the invasion of the Huns, Cai Yan was kidnapped by the Xiongnu King Zuoxian, married to the Huns, and gave birth to two children. Twelve years later, Cao Cao unified the north, redeemed Cai Yan with a large sum of money, and married her to Dong Si.

Cai Yan is also good at literature, music, calligraphy, etc. "Sui Shu·Jing Ji Zhi" records a volume of "Cai Wenji Collection", but it has been lost. The only works of Cai Wenji that can be seen now are two "Poems of Sorrow and Indignation" and "Eighteen Beats of Hujia".

There are not many records of Cai Yan's deeds in history, but the story of "Wen Ji returning to Han" has been widely circulated in all dynasties.

According to the official history, Cai Wenji was a well-educated person and proficient in music. She married Wei Zhongdao of Hedong in his early years. Wei Zhongdao died early and they had no heirs, so Cai Yan returned to his home.

In the second year of Xingping (AD 195), Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others from the Central Plains rebelled in Guanzhong. The Xiongnu took the opportunity to plunder, and Cai Yan was kidnapped by King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu. Cai Yan lived in the north for twelve years and gave birth to two children. Hence the ever-famous "Eighteen Beats of Hujia".

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (AD 207), Cao Cao always loved literature and calligraphy, and often had literary and calligraphy exchanges with Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong. When Cao Cao saw that Cai Yong had no heirs, he used a golden jade to redeem Cai Yan from the Xiongnu and married Cai Yan to Dong Si.

Then Dong Si committed a capital crime, and Cai Yan went to Cao Cao to intercede for Dong Si. At that time, Cao Cao was hosting a banquet for officials and distinguished officials, and said to the guests in the hall: "Cai Yong's daughter is outside. Let everyone see her today." Cai Yan, with his hair disheveled and barefoot, kowtowed to apologize, spoke clearly and clearly, and was filled with emotions and sorrow. They were all moved by it. But Cao Cao said: "But the document of condemnation has been sent out, what should I do?" Cai Yan said: "You have thousands of good horses in your stable, and countless brave soldiers, but you are stingy with a fast horse to save you." A dying life?" Cao Cao was finally moved by Cai Wenji and pardoned Dong Si.

After Cai Yan returned home, feeling sad and angry, he composed two "Poems of Sadness and Indignation". Since then, there are no records related to Cai Yan, and a generation of female literary giants have disappeared.

When Cai Yan interceded for her husband Dong Si, the weather was very cold. Cao Cao saw that Cai Yan had no shoes and her hair was disheveled, so he gave Cai Yan a headscarf, shoes and socks. Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, once collected many ancient books in his home. Cao Cao asked Cai Yan: "I heard that your family used to have many ancient books. Can you still remember them now?" Cai Yan said: "My father left me four books. There are more than a thousand volumes, but because of the war and displacement, very few have been preserved. Now I can only write down more than 400 chapters." Cao Cao said, "I will send ten people to accompany my wife to write it down, okay?" Cai Yan said: "Men and women are not close to each other. Give me paper and pen, and I will write it to you alone." So Cai Yan wrote down the contents of the ancient book he had memorized and gave it to Cao Cao. There was no mistake at all, which is really amazing.
