Idiom story

The Huns sent people to ask for peace, and the emperor handed it over to the courtiers for discussion. Dahangwanghui was a native of Yandi. He served as an official of Bianjun for many times and was familiar with the Xiongnu. He said: "it was not long before the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were able to make peace with each other, and the Xiongnu broke the treaty again. It's better not to agree, but to attack him. " "Sending troops thousands of miles away will not win," Han said. The Xiongnu relied on their army and horses and had a heart like a beast. They migrated like birds, so it was difficult to control them. The land that we got it can't be regarded as opening territory, and the people who own it can't be regarded as powerful. Since ancient times, they can't really belong to the Han people. If the Han Army goes thousands of miles away to fight for interests, it will be exhausted and the enemy will rely on its overall advantages to deal with our weaknesses. What's more, at the end of the range, the crossbow can't even shoot through the thinnest white silk produced by Lu. The strong wind blowing from the bottom to the top, at the end, even the power of flying wild goose's hair is gone. It's not that they were not strong at the beginning, but at the end, their power was exhausted. So sending troops to attack the Xiongnu is really bad. It's better to make peace with them. " Most of the ministers' comments were in accord with Han'an, so the emperor agreed to make peace with the Huns. In the 43rd chapter of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang argued with the Confucianist Lu Zi Jingli. After a few rounds of discussion, Quan said, "those whom Cao Cao hated in his life: Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuzhou and Gu er. Today, several heroes have been destroyed, and only Yuzhou and Gu still exist. You can't be controlled by others in the whole Wu area. I'll make up my mind. It's not Liu Yuzhou who should be Cao Cao. But after the new defeat of Yuzhou, is it difficult for an Neng to resist this? " Kong Ming said: "although Yuzhou was defeated, Guan Yunchang still led ten thousand elite soldiers, and Liu Qi led the Jiangxia soldiers, no less than ten thousand. Cao Cao's people are tired from afar; they are close to Yuzhou and ride for 300 Li a day and night. This is the end of the so-called strong crossbow, and they can't wear Lu Yi.
