A brief introduction to the story of the shepherd in Suwu. What is Su Wu's The Shepherd about?

1, Su Wu is the son of Su Jian, a county magistrate with lofty ideals in China. In his early years, he took his father's shadow as his own lang and moved to the stable prison in the middle of the school. In the first year of Tianhan (before 100), I worshipped the corps commander. At that time, the relationship between the Han Dynasty and Xiongnu was good and bad. In 100 BC, the Xiongnu regime acceded to the throne, and Han was honored as his father-in-law. As a gesture of friendship, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Su Wu to lead 100 people to Xiongnu, accompanied the Xiongnu emissary detained in the Han Dynasty to return home, and gave Khan a generous gift to express his gratitude.

2. Unexpectedly, just as Su Wu finished his mission and was preparing to return to China, civil strife broke out in Shanghai Xiongnu, and Su Wu and his party were implicated and detained, demanding to betray the Han Dynasty and surrender to Khan.

3. Khan knew that there was no hope to persuade Su Wu to surrender, whether soft or hard, but he respected Su Wu's integrity more and more. He didn't have the heart to kill Su Wu and didn't want him to return to his own country, so he decided to exile Su Wu to Lake Baikal in Siberia and let him shepherd sheep. Before he left, Khan summoned Su Wu and said, "Since you don't surrender, I'll let you go herding sheep. When the ram gives birth to a lamb, I will let you go back to the Central Plains. "

4. After being separated from his companions, Su Wu was exiled to the inaccessible Lake Baikal. Here, you can't escape on your own. The only people who accompanied Su Wu were the ambassador stick representing the Han Dynasty and a small flock of sheep. Su Wu used this ambassador stick to herd sheep every day, thinking that one day he could bring it back to his own country. In this way, day after day, year after year, all the ornaments on the ambassador's stick fell off, and Su Wu's hair and beard turned white.

5. In Lake Baikal, Suwu herded sheep for nineteen years. For more than ten years, Khan, the Xiongnu who ordered his imprisonment, has passed away. Even in Su Wu, the old emperor died and his son succeeded to the throne. At that time, Xin Khan carried out the policy of reconciliation with the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately sent envoys to take Su Wu back to his own country.
