The Historical Background of Zhi Zhi Khan

First of all, the situation that the Han Dynasty strongly supported Uhaanyehe was forced.

At first, Zhi Zhi Khan thought that weak Uhaanyehe had surrendered to the Han Dynasty and would never come back. He led the army westward and expanded his territory to the right of Xiongnu. Khan left Wang Ting military forces is not much. On the way to the west, he met Ilim Khan. After a fierce battle, Ilimu Khan was killed and 50 thousand troops were annexed by a Khan.

At this time, I heard that the Han Dynasty sent heavy troops to escort Huhanye back to China, and ordered two generals, Dong Zhong and Han Chang, to be stationed in Xiongnu to defend Uhaanyehe and help Huhanye fight against the rebels. Knowing that their own strength is not enough to unify the Huns, they even dare not be enemies of the Han Dynasty. They were afraid to call on Han Xie to fight against themselves with the help of the Han army, and did not dare to return to Wang Ting, so they took countermeasures to expand their territory to the west and strengthen their strength.

Second, Zhi Zhi Khan seized the rare opportunity of planning Wusun to dominate the western regions.

Since the first year of Ganlu [53 BC], Wusun has been divided into two parts. Princess You Jie, who had a high reputation, left Wusun and returned to the Han Dynasty. Usun Dakunmi is the grandson of Princess You Jie, who is in power. Zhi Zhi Khan approached Wusun in Ganlu for four years, and he tried to win over Wusun Xiaokun Miwu to dominate the western regions. This is not only a golden opportunity, but also because Zhi Zhi Khan's strength is weak. Zhi Zhi Khan successively killed Mu Khan in Yili, defeated Wu Sun Xiao Kun Miwu and slaughtered him, and annexed Hu Jie, Jian Kun and Ding Ling within one year, which showed his extraordinary military talent. Third, the strategy of keeping a low profile is quite effective.

In the first year of Ganlu (the first 53 years), Zhi Zhi Khan defeated Uhaanyehe and captured Xiongnu Wang Ting. Later, when he learned that he had moved south to the frontier fortress of the Han Dynasty, he sent his son You to serve the Emperor of Heaven. Zhi Zhi Khan also sent his son General You to serve in Chang 'an. He didn't do this to show his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, but he was afraid that Hu and the Han Dynasty would join hands against himself.

In the third year of Ganlu [5 1], Uhaanyehe went to Chang 'an to bow to the Han Dynasty, and was given an unprecedented grand reception by the Han Dynasty. Zhi Zhi Khan, unwilling to lag behind, immediately sent messengers to Chang 'an to pay tribute. The Han Dynasty sent many elite soldiers to escort Uhaanyehe back to China, and stationed heavy troops in Huhanye camp to defend Uhaanyehe and punish those who did not obey Uhaanyehe. Zhi Zhi Khan is like a frightened bird. In the second year [the first 50 years], Khan of both sides sent envoys to the court to pay tribute to Xuan Di, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, and the courtesy of Uhaanyehe's envoys in the Han Dynasty was even more generous. Zhi Zhi Khan was not satisfied, but he didn't dare to fight the Han Dynasty. He had to go west, expand his strength and bide his time. In the early years of Yuan Di's accession to the throne, Huns were very sleepy. Uhaanyehe turned to the Han Dynasty for help and got strong support from the Han Dynasty. Zhi Zhi Khan hated the Han Dynasty, but he wrote a letter to the court of the Han Dynasty with a straight face, sending an envoy to inquire for his son who served in Beijing, while expressing his willingness to attach himself to the Han Dynasty. He has established a new court in Jiankun, and the so-called willingness to attach to Han is just empty talk.
