In history, Su Wu s life as a sheep herder was very difficult, why didn t he kill sheep and eat meat

Su Wu shepherds sheep, but the sheep are not Su Wu's personal property, and he also herds sheep for the Xiongnu, so he has no right to slaughter sheep.

Because his own ability is very strong, he doesn't have to rely on the sheep given to him by the Huns to survive, and he is not willing to bow to the Huns and lose face.

Because the number of sheep is not large, the historical records record that Su Wu survived by drinking snow water and eating wool. What's more, there are no conditions for even simple processing of mutton.

Su Wu has always held the scepter that symbolizes his status as an envoy, and has never forgotten that he is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and the question arises at this time, in this case, can Su Wu eat the sheep he grazes, of course not.

Eating is surrender, eating means that you have surrendered, and it can even be said that you have given the other party a handle, in short, this sheep must not be eaten, and you can't eat it if you starve to death, this is a matter of principle, and it is also the reason why Su Wu has been sticking to it for so many years.

Of course, since he is alive, he still has to eat, and Su Wu also married a wife and gave birth to a child here, Su Wu stayed in the Xiongnu for a total of 19 years, during which the emperors of the Han Dynasty changed from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

During this period, the famous Li Ling also came here to persuade Su Wu to surrender to the Xiongnu, but Su Wu resolutely refused to surrender, and Li Ling was the one who interceded for him.

Because these sheep were let by the Huns to be released by the Su, if they ate the sheep, it would mean that they had surrendered, and they would be very undignified.

After the sheep are eaten, they can't be grazed, and the plan fails.

Su Wu shepherd" is a famous historical allusion, the legend is that the famous general Su Wu was captured by the Xiongnu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, forced to abandon the Central Plains civilization, forced to graze sheep, but Su Wu in the sheep at the same time, insisted on not forgetting the motherland, loyal to the Han family, not betraying the Xiongnu first nucleus, and was finally pardoned and returned to the Central Plains.

But in fact, the real history of "Su Wu Shepherd" does not fully correspond to this legend. Historians believe that although the story of "Su Wu Shepherd" has a high symbolic meaning, many of its episodes are fictional. According to historical records, Zhiqing and Su Wu did let go of sheep during the capture of the Xiongnu, but did not herd the sheep for a long time, because the Xiongnu were very strict with him, and Su Wu was soon released and returned to the Central Plains, and later held important positions during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The historical "Yu Chang Incident" refers to an accident that occurred when Su Wu arrived in Hun and was about to set off for Han after completing the imperial order.

Yu Chang, a rebel under the Xiongnu King and the Han Dynasty rebel Wei Lu, was planning a rebellion, preparing to contact the former Han Dynasty generals brought by Wei Lu when he surrendered to the Xiongnu, kidnap the Xiongnu Shan Yu's mother, and flee back to the Han Dynasty. Yu Chang was very loyal to the Han Dynasty and hated Wei Lu's shameful act of treason and glory, Su Wu and Zhang Sheng sent envoys to the Xiongnu, Yu Chang was very happy, and Yu Chang often corresponded with Zhang Sheng when he was in the Han Dynasty.

Yu Chang secretly found Zhang Sheng and said, "I heard that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hates the traitorous Wei Lu very much, and I can secretly ambush people to get rid of him." My mother and younger brother are both in the Han Dynasty, and in case something happens to me, I hope you will be able to take care of them when you return to Han.

Zhang Sheng agreed to Yu Chang's plan and gave Yu Chang some money and goods to support Yu Chang's actions.

Unexpectedly, Yu was often denounced, and Shan Yu sent troops to pursue him, King Wu and others were killed, and Yu Chang was captured alive. Because the Xiongnu's King Wu planned to kidnap Shan Yu's mother and return to the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty's deputy envoy Zhang Sheng was involved, Su Wu was also implicated.
