Sweep the World

The spread of the majesty of the Han family began when the Han army set foot in the Western Regions, and the Han army attacked Dawan as a watershed.

Before the Han army set foot in the Western Regions, the Silk Road on the road was actually opened to the west with Zhang Qian. At that time, merchants carried goods from the Hexi to the Western Regions. Everywhere they went, they would suffer difficulties and exorbitant taxes. In fact, there was no guarantee for safety.

History books written by humans record that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, did not hesitate to fight for a few horses, or that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was overly indulging in Li Guangli, the second division general, before starting the war against Dawan.

If one can find one thing by looking over the history books, and from some pulses, we can draw a fact that at that time, the Han army's attack on the Western Regions was not the will of one or two people, nor was it even a conspiracy of a single interest group. It was an almost national desire.

What was the social mood at that time? The military group needs a battlefield to make contributions. The nobles and prominent families have suffered heavy losses in the Western Regions because of the merchants they control. They need to teach the people of the Western Regions. Great 1 revenge, 1 revenge, 1 master and 1 righteousness (the most beautiful Confucian ram school at the time) needed to beat the Western Regions. Proving the seriousness of their doctrine, the people all over the country also feel that they need to learn a lesson from the killing of the Western Regions of the same race. That is nothing to say, anyway, it's **** his mother.

The Battle of Dawan was a new beginning for the Hans to march towards the Western Regions, and it was also a strategic layout of the battle between the Hans and the Huns at that time. In the final analysis, it benefited all the Hans. The new species brought after the control of the Western Regions still existed in the modern era. No one from the Western Regions dared to kill the Han at will.

That's because as long as one Han is dead, there will be a Han army roaring in from behind. It is best to be able to hand over the murderer. If the murderer cannot be handed over, the Han army screams "revenge" and kills an entire tribe or town. Really not too much. The army is so powerful. Since then, the Han people have been a super class in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions really regarded the Han as their ancestors.

Why did "Han" change from a national name to the name of a nation? It is the strength of the Han Empire, and it is also the effort of the Han Empire to ensure that every Han Chinese in a foreign country can be served by a foreign race as an ancestor. It is precisely because of the pride of the Han Empire that later generations will miss and pursue them, and the name of the nation was born.

A country that is unwilling to launch a war for the country’s citizens will not be missed in the slightest. It will even be cruel and tyrannical at home, weak and incompetent on the outside, and treat the domestic people as ignorance as stupid people, and regard the people who go out as "abandoned people", and firmly believe that it is. "The thief", how many people are willing to defend such a country at the moment of survival?

Liu Yan knows one thing deeply, at least in the spirit left behind by the Han Empire, whether there is any control over the Western Regions as a "test."

The importance of the Western Regions to the Central Plains dynasty has an infinite height. Only when Cao Wei was facing a severe civil war, he still gritted his teeth and marched into the Western Regions. This also enabled Cao Wei to gain further recognition from the people of the Central Plains. The Sima family behind was also related to the insistence on controlling the Western Regions. .

In the subsequent dynasties, a powerful country was able to control the Western Regions, and a weaker country was unable to control the Western Regions. Facts have also proved that the importance of controlling the Western Regions to the Central Plains dynasty, being able to control the Western Regions will have at least one generation of prosperity, and not being able to control the Western Regions is a real weak chicken from the founding to the subjugation.

In fact, it is not only the "Central Empire" who has such awareness, and the whole world is evaluating the Central Plains dynasty based on whether it can control the Western Regions. That is a very simple truth. The Western Regions are too far away from the core of the Central Plains. Since the Central Plains dynasty can control the Western Regions, it naturally means that the hinterland of the Central Plains dynasty must be stable and strong.

Another point is that the Western Regions are a window of exchange between East Asia and Central Asia... and even the distant West.

To make a simple analogy, the Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty may not be really weak in the true sense, at least they have very strong economic and cultural strength, but at that time many Central Asian countries did not know the existence of the "Song" country at all. It was because their communication with the "Song" was cut off by the Liao and Jin states. Waiting for the Arabs to take control of the sea route after the rise of the Arabs, Europa even regards Liao as the "Zhengshuo" country in East Asia.

In the current generation, after suffering the tragedy that even the wild beasts are inferior to, the establishment of a new country belonging to the Han people is the time when self-esteem and self-esteem are the most vulnerable. Those foreign races who have bullied themselves cannot get out of that tone and cannot gain dignity.

At the same time of revenge, fame and fortune also follow. People will subconsciously forget those who died in battle, and envy those who gained military merit and changed their lives. They looked around, and it seemed that those alien races who had bullied themselves were either killed, or a handful of them were lingering. They had only one idea at a time, but revenge was no longer enough. They needed more enemies, and more could be. The battlefield of making contributions.

The Han Dynasty’s war against the Gupta dynasty is a manifestation. Under the premise of pursuing profitable military exploits, what if you are unfamiliar with navigation? It’s not a problem to fight across the sea for thousands of miles. Our Han people just want to learn from the ancestors of the pre-Han, or else Afraid of hardships, don’t be afraid of the distance, as long as there is a military function, you’re doing it anyway!

The use of troops for the Gupta Dynasty will be very limited, and can only satisfy a very small number of people's pursuit of military merit. Those who fail to intervene are called eager, especially in the middle and lower classes. This middle and lower class not only refers to the military, but also countless people who want to change the trajectory of their lives.

The country’s ruins are everywhere, and the wounds need to be licked to restore internal affairs. That is something that the senior central minister (civilian) who governs the country needs to consider. The military commander class is not aware of this, but they are military commanders!

For military commanders, they never need to think about the difficulties of the country. What they want is to find the enemy, kill the enemy, and it is the highest honor to be able to destroy the country. It is enough to focus on this.

"Opportunity!" Xu Zheng couldn't hold back his inner excitement: "Persians, they are such good people!"

The generals nodded fiercely. For them, it was far from enough to use troops for the Gupta Dynasty. There would be another increase in troops, and if they died, they would add another standing army to join the war. And a standing army is far from enough for them, they can only squeeze in one Lang general, three captains, and five military officers. There are simply more wolves and less meat.

Don't say it is an officer, who can withstand the temptation to go on an expedition? They want to increase their acres, they want more servants, they want a higher rank, and they honestly wait for the sky except rain and snow, nothing can hit their heads, there are too many wants They are all built on the expedition!

Why did the former Qin army rejoice when he heard of the war? It's because everything you want can be obtained on the battlefield!

The Xian Han was basically the same as the Qin Army. It can even be said that the Xian Han paid more attention to military merit and respected military merit than the Xian Qin. If you walk around, you will not be criticized and get more respect.

During the time of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, the nobles before could be swept into the **** dump. However, those who made meritorious service on the battlefield appeared repeatedly and received unimaginable benefits. The result was the rise of the whole nation, and they all became incarnations. War madman.

"One division on the grassland, one army in the northeast, two armies in Longxi, and two armies in the Pingman captain..." Ran Min was picking his teeth after eating meat, and said dissatisfiedly: "Too little, too little."

Ran Min had just returned from the grassland. Before he came back, he personally took a piece of music to the territory of Xigaoche, and he killed the man head-bending. Follow a song on the expedition, alive, dead, crippled... one is considered to have at least one level of decapitation military merit, more of a "second-level jump" for the title, if not for the 20th-level title Relevant restrictions, if only relying on the enemy's first level of merit, it is not just the "second level jump" of the title.

The king's inspection team has already reversed and returned to Chang'an. It is almost another year of debriefing period, and those who should return to the center will return.

"It's not that the king doesn't want to regain the Western Regions, but..." Ran Min said unabashedly: "It's just that those people (referring to civil officials) are too capable."

How could Liu Yan give up regaining the Western Regions? It is not that simple to regain the Western Regions.

It is temporarily unknown how much resistance the Han army will encounter if it is only to dispatch troops to the Western Regions. However, the countries in the Western Regions will definitely not be able to withstand the "recovering of lost ground" of the Han. Three times... until the Western Regions returned to the embrace of the Han.

The reason why it is complicated for the Han to regain the Western Regions is that Liu Yan did not think that the Western Regions were the end of the Han army's conquest at the beginning, on the contrary, it was the starting point of the Han army's outward conquest.

Precisely because the Western Regions were the starting point for the Han army to conquer the West, how to regain the Western Regions and what actions should be taken after the Western Regions were regained? That is worth thinking about and deploying, and it may even be related to the future ethnic trend of the Han people.

Xu Zheng, Ran Min...and so on, when they reach their level, they basically know everything they need to know, including why Liu Yan postponed the restoration of the Western Regions.

"Before we didn't know what was going on with Sassan, but now it's a bit of a judgment." Xu Zheng said one of the reasons why Liu Yan had postponed the restoration of the Western Regions, and said: "The king's worries are that the Han's internal affairs are not repaired and the restoration is restored. After the Western Regions, they immediately fought against Sassan, and even war broke out."

No nonsense, before Liu Yan really wanted to consider a little bit, such as whether to regain the Western Regions will immediately break out of a national war with Persian Sassan. After all, he really didn’t know that the Persian Sassanian had a lot of trouble, and he didn’t even know that the Western Regions and the Persian Sassanids were separated by the Hunets, but he remembered that the Tang Army encountered the Western Regions and the Arab Empire because of the Western Regions. Ownership has fought a battle.

A country has not yet emerged from the trauma of war. There are ruins in the country and the fields are full of desolation. Such a country really has no confidence to break out any national wars, especially against powerful and powerful countries.

The restoration of the Western Regions in Liu Yan's plan should give the Han country ten years to deal with and build its internal affairs. It is not doing nothing in the middle, such as sweeping Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei into the historical garbage dump, maiming Rouran or destroying it directly, even the Donggao car should be destroyed, and the threat to the east should be completely cut off. Then it marched westward.

Now that the Han Kingdom knows that the Persian Sassan himself has fallen into the mud pit, the domestic rebellion continues and the war against Rome is not going smoothly, which means that the Han Kingdom will not face the threat from the Persian Sassanid to the west.

In addition, the Persian Sassanian seemed to hope that Han would go west, at least to welcome Han to regain control of the Western Regions. This aspect is actually indifferent to the Han. The Persians welcome it or not. The Hans want to get back to the Western Regions, but they do nothing. What the Hans worry about is the outbreak of a national war under the premise of insufficient preparation.

As fierce as Ran Min, he also knows that when the country is in a mess, he really can't fight against powerful countries, especially on the premise that the land can communicate.

People who walked by sea like the Gupta dynasty had to say that Han was very strange to the sea. Because of the strangeness, I really never thought about whether the Han army was defeated in the front and whether Ah San would be killed.

"The king has already moved." Xu Zheng said that Liu Yan ordered Xie An to solve the enemy forces in Xiqiang Mountain within one year: "But it is the opportunity I am waiting for."

Liu Yan didn't directly say that he wanted to march into the Western Regions, but his order to Xie An had explained everything. Without solving the troubles of Longxi County, how could the Han army march westward when there was a threat on the way.

"But I can't let me wait for the uproar." Li Tan still said on this occasion: "The need is as good as the first man."

If you don't have a bit of culture, you really don't understand what Li Tan means. It's nothing more than an old thing in the Western Han Dynasty. The war against the Huns is the will of the whole country, and it cannot be promoted by a few people.

Xu Zheng nodded immediately: "It should be so."

Xie An originally didn't want to speak, but when he had to say, "What is the limit?"

Xie An was talking about the number of troops to be deployed in the Western Regions, the scale, and the extent to which the goal was. That was because it involved the Han Dynasty's westward marching policy after the recapture of the Western Regions.

Except Liu Yan, no one can answer Xie An~www.wuxiax.com~ everyone, including the lieutenant Xu Zheng, can only do what Liu Yan wants.

"Anyway, let the group of people stop making noise." Ran Min is so direct: "The rest is just as Rui Cai said, and the momentum must be up."

The warriors didn't lose their heads, they also knew that the internal affairs still had to be built, but they couldn't wait that long. Now they have the opportunity to enter the Western Regions. Even if they use the excuse to retake the Western Regions to operate the bridgehead to the west, it is definitely a justifiable reason. The problem is that obstacles have to be cleared. For example, Liu Yan has clearly stated that he wants to repair internal affairs. It cannot be changed day and night.

"It's not enough to have a voice." Xie An is destined to know more about the twists and turns than everyone from a family background: "The king's compliance with the will of the people is true, but it is still not enough."

At the moment, Xie An talked a little bit about the corners. For example, even if the king overturned the previous decision, what prerequisites should he have? Some people’s eyes straightened, and many people really don’t know that one thing can be so. complex.

"Just let the people from the Western Regions jump up first, so that we have an excuse to do it!" Ran Min couldn't help but complain: "It's so complicated." rw
