Historically, Su Wu’s life as a sheep herder was so hard, so why didn’t he eat sheep? Are there any dark secrets?

Because if this sheep is eaten, it means that the Han Dynasty has lost his face. You must know that Su Wu is on a business trip on behalf of the Han Dynasty. If he does anything wrong, the Xiongnu will use it to attack the country and laugh at him, so He would rather eat grass and mice than sheep.

First of all, we must understand that the Xiongnu did not kill Su Wu. The real purpose was to make Su Wu surrender so that he could humiliate the Han Dynasty. Because as an envoy of a country, Su Wu surrendered to his country’s enemies. Then Isn’t it a slap in the country’s face? Therefore, as a Han Chinese, Su Wu had integrity and was willing to die rather than surrender.

Secondly, the Huns found out that Su Wu refused to eat soft and hard, so they came up with a plan, which was to let Su Wu herd sheep. When the sheep gave birth to lambs, they could let Sun Wu go back. However, the Huns were too bullying. , all the sheep they asked Su Wu to herd were rams. How could rams give birth to lambs?

Then it can be seen from the fact that the Huns asked Su Wu to herd sheep. In fact, the Huns wanted to let Su Wu go back. They also wanted to take the opportunity to see if Su Wu would persist in stealing and if Su Wu secretly ate it. Sheep, that means there is something wrong with Su Wu's character, and you can use this behavior to laugh at Su Wu, so that Su Wu surrenders.

But Su Wu knew very well in his heart that he not only represented an individual, he also represented the country. If he stole the sheep, he would only bring shame to the country and he would be very passive. , would be controlled by the Huns, so he would rather eat grass and rats than sheep.

The last thing I want to say is, no one knows whether Su Wu ate sheep or not. All they know is that Su Wu insisted on herding sheep for 9 years and was unwilling to surrender to the Huns. This also proves that Su Wu was loyal and patriotic, and he never had any in his heart. Forget that we are Han Chinese, this is worth learning.
