Over the years, countless people have been impressed by Su Wu's national integrity, moved by it and shed tears. But I don't think so. I think Su Wu's behavior is meaningless and stupid!
Su Wu's loyalty is fruitless. Later, he returned to the Han Dynasty, and his son was executed because Huo Guang was dismissed. Finally, I was awarded this title because I participated in the plan to establish Xuan Di. So I said that Su Wu's behavior was meaningless and stupid.
Xiongnu Khan worships Su Wu very much, and Su Wu is not noble enough to eat "earthly fireworks" in Xiongnu. He had an affair with a Xiongnu woman and had a son named Su. If he surrendered to Xiongnu, he would also be knighted, followed by his wife and children, unlike when he returned to Han, his wife disappeared, his son Su Yuan was killed, and Su lived in Xiongnu for a long time before he was redeemed.
Su Wu's loyalty to his family is meaningless, but is it meaningful to the country? The answer is no.
The reason why he is blind and loyal is mainly because he has no adventurous spirit, and dare not assassinate Wei Law or kidnap E Shi, the mother of Xiongnu Khan. Although John Zhang said that he took great risks in order to make meritorious service, we can ask ourselves, which one is not profit-driven? Thus, Su Wu's cowardice is meaningless.
Su Wu told Wei Law that Wei Law's behavior would provoke disputes between Xiongnu and Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Su Wu was so ignorant that 800 people surrendered to the Huns, not 1,000. Because who started the war? Even Lv Hou, a very powerful man in the Han Dynasty, would rather be bring disgrace to oneself than hate the Lord. Su Wu's foolish loyalty means nothing to Han and Xiongnu!
But if Su Wu surrenders, although his personal reputation is damaged, it may not be a good thing. First, Xiongnu Khan admired him very much, and he could admonish Khan when the two countries were at war; Second, he can also take the opportunity to master the intelligence of the Huns and then report to the Han Dynasty, which is also a great achievement; Third, he can learn from Xu Shu and enter Cao Ying-saying nothing without losing national integrity. But he didn't, he just blindly carried out meaningless and stupid loyalty, in the country at home reactive power!
Now, Su Wu's meaningless loyalty has been praised as being in the old feudal society. Why? Confucius and Mencius, a loyal monarch, led our country to the abyss of semi-feudalism and semi-colonialism, and now it is resurgent. Wake up, don't be fooled by Confucius and Mencius, don't be fooled by Su Wu's meaningless loyalty, do something practical!
