sweeping the world

Chapter 940

If it is said in what period the Han people were the most courageous, counting up, it is well-deserved that the Han people in Liu Che's period!

At that time, the Han people didn't scream from the very beginning when they heard the war. They first experienced Wei Qing's recovery of Hetao, and then Huo Qubing did the great cause of sealing wolves and living in Xuxu.

Whether Wei Qing regained Hetao, or Huo Qubing did Fenglangjuxu, the direct manifestation is that the country suddenly has hundreds of feudal lords, Guanneihou, and Liehou. Even ordinary people can enjoy the benefits of plummeting meat prices.

War brought glory, and allowed so many people to gain status and wealth. The Han people naturally became enthusiastic about war. As a result, in every war in the future, the large corps of the Han army opened the way in front, and there was no way behind. Counting folk Xiaoguo comes with dry food to follow.

After the era of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing ended, no general of the Han Dynasty could lead the army to a brilliant victory. However, the Han people still have enough enthusiasm for war. Not only the military loves war, but the people also pursue war.

That is a fact that has been demonstrated by countless wars. They have played enough spirits and firmly believe that their side will definitely win.

And the victory will definitely get the reward it deserves. As a result, Li Guangli, who was trained by Liu Che, is not as brave and good at fighting as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

"General Ershi once led an army past our feet." Su Ren rode a horse and stood on a low slope, holding a knife handle at his waist, looking forward to Zixiong: "There are historical records, the footsteps of the army of the early Han Dynasty Not only stopped in Dawan, but also beat up Kang Ju at that time, and had a big fight with the Anxi people."

To the west of the low slope is an endless grassland, the blue sky and the green grassland on the ground form a line, anyone who sees it will find the scenery in front of them charming.

Regarding the history of Ershi General Li Guangli, the generals of the Protectorate of the Western Regions were forced to review it recently, and Su Ren was willing to share the knowledge with the officers under his command.

"Speaking of it, the title of General Ershi is because his goal is to capture good horses in Ershi City." Su Ren actually didn't know why Li Guangli had such a title at first, I only knew after listening to the history of the military commander Shi: "The first time he marched into the Western Regions, under Yu Cheng's command tens of thousands of horses ran away and only a few thousand remained. Even Yu Cheng at that time could not be defeated."

"Historical Records" clearly records:

In the first year of Taichu ([-] B.C.), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che took Li Guangli as the general of his second division and led [-] cavalry from the kingdom and tens of thousands of bad-behaved youths from the county to attack Dawan with these troops. It is expected that Ershicheng will capture good horses, so he is called "General Ershi".

Yuan Haohou Wang Hui led the army as a guide.

Li Guangli's troops had already encountered Yanyan to the west, and the small countries along the way were panicked. They all tightly defended their castles and did not supply the Han army with food. They could not defeat them again and again.Those who can be captured will have food, and those who cannot be captured have to leave in a few days.When they reached Yucheng, there were only a few thousand soldiers, and they were all hungry and tired.They attacked Yucheng City and were defeated, with many casualties.

Li Guangli discussed with his subordinates: "As far as Yu Cheng can't capture it, let alone the capital of King Dawan?"

The Han army who lost confidence was led by Li Guangli to retreat.It took two years to go back and forth, and when I returned to Dunhuang, only one-tenth of the soldiers remained.

Later, Li Guangli sent an envoy to write a memorial to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying: "The distance is far away and there is a shortage of food. The soldiers are not afraid of fighting, but of starvation. There are few soldiers and they cannot attack Wan. I hope to withdraw the troops for the time being and send more troops before going."

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned what he had played, he was furious, and sent envoys to block the Yumen Pass, saying that any soldier who dared to enter the pass would be beheaded immediately!

Li Guangli was afraid, so he stayed in Dunhuang.

……

So, the first time the Han Chinese used troops against the Western Regions ended in a tragic end, and they didn't kill the Quartet as soon as they came out.

"General Ershi sent troops to Dawan for the second time, leading 18 troops and more than 2 lieutenants." If Su Ren hadn't been 're-educated', he would have believed some rumors among the people, thinking that General Ershi Li Guangli underestimated him. Dawan was captured easily with more than [-] Han troops: "[-] cattle, [-] horses, and tens of thousands of donkeys and camels. They brought a lot of food, weapons, bows and arrows, etc. They were very complete. The cost was exhausted. The state treasury was seized, the whole country was in turmoil, and finally Dawan was conquered."

The school lieutenant in the Western Han Dynasty was not the present school lieutenant. At that time, the school lieutenant belonged to the middle and high levels of the army. The gathering of more than fifty school lieutenants represented a collection of at least fifty standing elite divisions.

There was also the failure of the first march. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che believed that if even Dawan could not come down, those countries in the Western Regions that had surrendered to them would relapse, and the Han people would most likely encounter resistance from the entire Western Regions, so they collected supplies regardless of the cost. Give Li Guangli a second expedition.

It was precisely the victory of the second expedition that allowed the countries in the Western Regions to understand the strength and inviolability of the Han people. Later, they used chariots to perform blood sacrifices, and Kang Ju, who was constantly jumping, was beaten by the Han people, forcing the Huns to give up. The Western Regions shrank completely to Mobei.

"We are still enjoying Li Guangli's budding shade." What Su Ren said was the words of the military commander: "It is because of the great reputation established by our ancestors that we can easily subdue the entire Western Region."

Quite a few people disagree with this statement. They think that their generation is far stronger than their ancestors, and it is only natural that they will crush and beat people from the Western Regions like dogs.

However, all reasonable people know that it is indeed the shadow of the ancestors. The mighty performance of the ancestors let the people in the Western Regions know the power and fear of the Han people. Otherwise, it would not be the Han people of their generation who killed them. Well, those people from the Western Regions who raised the banner of rebellion softened their legs before they started a war with them.

When people fight against each other, if they meet someone with a reputation for bravery, they will feel guilty before they fight.

When countries confront each other, a country with a great reputation will always make the other party feel guilty at first, and its own body will explode with far more power than usual because of its confidence.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Han people have had the saying that "one Han should be the five Hus".Therefore, for hundreds of years, the Han people were the well-deserved overlords.

If it weren't for the Sima family's playing off, which led to the chaos, the Hu people would always be the one who lacked energy when facing the Han people.

It was also after the Five Disorders of China that the Han people were no longer a superior race, and no matter what dynasty they were in since then, they have not really made the Hu people feel that they are short Han people.

That is reflected in the fact that even though Zhu Di repeatedly went to the grassland to beat the nomads out of breath, the grassland people still didn't feel that they were inferior to the Han people.

The Han people began when they felt that they had nothing to be proud of. When they encountered challenges repeatedly, their self-division was extremely severe. Even after over [-] million people fought against hundreds of thousands of enemies, they failed to withstand it, and even made a fuss about "full people dissatisfied with [-], full of [-]". Invincible" myth came out.

……

The Han people in the Western Han Dynasty made a name for their descendants, and inspired the Eastern Han, Cao Wei, and Western Jin Dynasties.

For the Han Chinese of their generation, especially those who have read history books, the lowest limit is to catch up with the glory of their ancestors, and the upper limit is to completely eliminate all alien races in the world.

Li Kuang, who was sitting far away in Yancheng, stared at the map of mountains and rivers, and said to the generals and Zuo Liao: "Our deeds will be passed down for generations to come!"

This time, the Protectorate of the Western Regions took a big move, not only to wipe out the hostile forces that have been discovered within the jurisdiction, but also to eliminate or expel Shujie from the country.

Among the many backup plans, one even set the goal of fighting a fierce battle with the Huns.

Those who sit in the temple plan the war, and those who are on the front line execute the plan.

Fang Lun was riding on horseback, his body swaying in rhythm with the hooves of the horse.

Anyone who knows how to ride a horse knows that riding on a horse must not be stiff, it should be as relaxed as possible. The correct riding posture will not only prevent you from getting too tired, but also make the horse more comfortable, otherwise the rider will be tired. If you have to die, the horse will not be able to stand the toss.

Fang Lun was surrounded by his seven followers. Compared with him who was armed to the teeth, most of his followers didn't even have a single metal weapon, let alone a perfect suit of armor.

Nowadays, the countries (nations) that have mastered smelting technology can be counted on one hand, and the countries that have smelting technology and enough resources to use it may not be counted on one hand.

In the Western Regions, there are only two or three countries that have mastered smelting technology and have enough minerals, and all of them were expelled from the Han Empire without exception.

After the Han people marched into the Western Regions, those who originally had weapons in the Western Regions who resisted either died or became slaves. The remaining Western Regions did not want to cause trouble and had to turn in their weapons according to the regulations.

For example, the people from the Western Regions who followed the Han people this time, the guys in their hands were basically provided by the Han people. If they could have a metal sword, knife, or a spear with a spear head or a gun head, or a spear, the Han people who followed were rich enough. Or twist a stick or a sharpened stick.

Not every recruited Han can be fully armed, but at least one metal weapon, and a complete set of armor is still a minority.

It has been nearly a month since they set off from Yancheng. They first went to the north of Beishan, wiped out several Wusun horse bandit regiments, joined a few servant cavalry teams mainly composed of Wusun people, and then detoured to the west of Beishan to enter the drug donation ( modern Pamir).

Donating Drugs was a city-state in the Western Han Dynasty. It is not clear how the country was subjugated and the Han people disappeared. Waiting for the Han people of this generation to come, the land boundary is already part of Shule.

"How many did you kill?" Wang Mian rode his horse close to Fang Lun, and when he was speaking, he made a "three" gesture to indicate that he had killed three: "It's a pity that they are all small pawns, and there are only rewards, not merit accumulation."

Fang Lun was lucky. With his archery skills, he managed to kill one of Wusun's commander-in-chief. Although the credit for the arrow killing was halved, it was still enough meritorious service to be promoted to a rank. I am a third-level hairpin by myself!

For the real nobleman, the hairpin seems to be nothing.

However, for a village where the highest title is not changed, the title of Zanya is the top level, especially in the Western Regions, it is even more impressive. Not to mention the addition of five hundred acres of pastures, there is also a horse, three an ox and twenty sheep.At the same time, two concubines will be sent to the Western Region Protectorate, and the supplies usually distributed will be much more.

The two were chatting, and the sound of horns came from a distance ahead, and the officers in the team responded very quickly.

"The village where we are located has been called!" Wang Mian blushed with excitement: "This time we must kill someone who can be promoted!"

Fang Lun also had an infinite desire to be promoted, so he subconsciously touched the riding bow hanging on the side of the horse's neck.

If you are in the army, if you pay attention at ordinary times, you can roughly hear the meaning you want to convey by listening to the sound of the trumpets and drums.The sound of the horn just now was to remind most of them that the scouts in front had discovered the enemy army with less than a thousand people, and the ranger troops had already bit the enemy army, and asked the large army to send out reinforcements.

Enthusiastic Fang Lun and Wang Mian arrived at the battlefield with their entourage. When they saw the corpses all over the ground and the friendly troops cleaning up the battlefield, they felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on their foreheads.

"What the hell!" Wang Mian scolded dejectedly, "What's the origin of this group, isn't it too rough?"

Fang Lun, who didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding, didn’t get off his horse, but rode close to the enemy’s corpses on horseback, trying to identify where they came from: “If I’m not mistaken, most of them are Shujie people, and a few seem to be Hunnites. "

In a place like the Western Regions, whoever kills the enemy is entitled to pick up the spoils, which is a rule that needs to be followed far more than other places.

"Who told you to leave the team!" Li Bing scolded a few words with a face full of frost, but then said something that made people ecstatic: "Return to the team, we have work to do!"

According to the establishment, one camp of the standing army had 250 soldiers. Due to the recruitment of Han Xiaoguo, and the Han people bringing in retinues from the Western Regions, the number of soldiers in each camp expanded to about 2000.

In accordance with the military order, they galloped westward without any effort, and after traveling for about thirty miles, they saw a migrating herdsman team with their families in tow.

"They all know some rules!" Li Bing needed to restrain the Han Xiaoguo he recruited, and let these Han people restrain his followers from the Western Regions: "Especially let the Western Regions you bring clean their hands and feet!"

The migrating shepherds brigade in the distance was already in chaos. The convoy completely dispersed and ran for their lives, but there were about two or three hundred cavalrymen coming towards them.

The pursuers, including the Han army, the Han Xiaoguo, and the followers of the Western Regions, no one cared which ethnic group or who the people were migrating from.

For the Han army, they did not know how many tribes they had wiped out, and no one would have any curiosity about a tribe that was about to be wiped out again.

The Han Xiaoguo will have curiosity, but they are the executors of the killing, and they will satisfy their curiosity after the killing is over.

The idea of ​​the Western Regions entourage who came here is the simplest, no matter who he is, killing the living and looting the property is far more practical than any curiosity.As for saying that people from the Western Regions don't kill people from the Western Regions, when did the Western Regions say that?
