Ban Chao has lived in the Western Regions for a long time and wishes to be born in Yumenguan. It's called super return. Ren Shang, a captain of Wuji, took his place. It is said that you have been in outland for more than 30 years, but the villain has great responsibilities and shallow knowledge. You should teach him a good lesson.
Chao said, "Ban Chao's officials beyond the Great Wall, who are not filial sons, have all moved to make up the border village with crimes. And barbarians are pregnant with birds and beasts, which are difficult to raise and easy to lose. This gentleman is strict and urgent, and the water is clear without fish. It is impossible to make peace by examining politics. It is advisable to be simple and lenient, just a rough outline.
After the passage, Shang privately pointed to his relatives and said, "I think Ban Jun still has some tricks, but what I said today is plain." After a few years, I rebelled in the western regions, such as exceeding the precepts.
Ban Chao s Translation of "Governing the Western Regions";
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and Shangshu hoped to enter Yumenguan alive in his lifetime. So the emperor ordered Ban Chao to return home and let Ren Shang, a captain of Wuji, take his place.
Ren Shang said to Ban Chao: You have been in the Western Regions for more than 30 years. Now I will take over your position with great responsibility, but my wisdom is limited. Please give me more advice.
Ban Chao said: The officers and men outside the Great Wall are not law-abiding. They are all exiled to the border because of crimes. However, the human heart is like an animal, which is difficult to raise and changeable. You are very strict and eager. You know, you can't raise fish if the water is too clear. If you are too observant, you won't win the hearts of your subordinates. I suggest you relax, as long as you master the general principles of everything.
After Ban Chao left, Ren Shang privately said to his close friends: I thought Ban Chao would have some brilliant plans, but everything he said was normal.
After several years in Ren Shang, the Western Regions rebelled, as Ban Chao said.
