Da Tan did not intervene in the entire process of the Northern Wei's attack on Daxia, which seemed a bit abnormal. In fact, there is a good explanation, because in Da Tan's mind at that time, there was a powerful country in the west that attracted its main force. This country

They are the authentic descendants of the Northern Xiongnu, Yue Ban. After the Northern Xiongnu were driven out of the Mongolian grassland by the Eastern Han and Xianbei armies at the end of the first century AD, they crossed the Altai Mountains and came to the homeland of Wusun. From then on, the Northern Xiongnu Chanyu disappeared from the history books.

However, King Huyan under him has always controlled the area from the western foot of Tianshan Mountain to the Altai Mountains, and has fought many battles with the Eastern Han generals, winning and losing. In 153 AD, Xianbei chief Tanshihuai unified the Mongolian plateau, and then attacked Wusun.

An attack was launched. King Huyan was worried about being attacked by Tanshihuai, so he took the initiative and ran to the Kangju Kingdom west of Lake Balkhash with Bei Chanyu, and later migrated to the junction of Asia and Europe between the Sea of ​​Xian and the Sea of ​​Azov.

, they are called Yueban in the historical records of the Han people. Yueban once served as a mercenary of the Kingdom of Armenia. Later, Yueban united with the Kingdom of Kushan and attacked Persia southward, but this attack was met head-on by Persia.

The defeated Yueban had to surrender to Persia and serve the Persians. In 359, Yueban followed Shapur to attack the Eastern Roman Empire, but Yueban's prince was shot and killed by the defenders of the Eastern Roman Empire in this war.

The Yueban people looked around and found that the only way was to expand their living space to the west. So around 375 AD, according to European records, an Eastern nomad who called himself the Huns rushed across the Don River, triggering the

It was a great migration of peoples in European history, and it was this great migration that led to the decline of the Roman Empire. The Yueban Kingdom still existed in Central Asia for a few years after 454 AD, and was eliminated by the alliance of Rouran and Xianda after 460 AD.

The European Huns are probably related to Yueban, but they are not exactly the same. When the Huns first entered the European continent, they were tribes that did not belong to each other. They did not expect that they unexpectedly achieved great development after entering the European continent.

After Attila unified all the Huns in Europe, his power has greatly surpassed that of his overlord Guoyuban. However, the relationship between the two countries is still very friendly, and both sides understand that one will prosper and the other will suffer. In fact, the two of them

The relationship between countries is similar to the relationship between Rouran and Yanda Alliance. It can also be understood that after a country develops to a certain stage, because the current living environment can no longer meet the needs of so many people, then some people have to

The act of going out to find your own way out, leaving the mother country and establishing new settlements abroad, is also a very popular expansion model for steppe empires.

The Yueban nation is different from other nomadic peoples. This nation pays great attention to personal image. Men generally wear braids, and there was a custom of dyeing their hair at that time. Even men have strong mysophobia. As a nomadic people in the north,

, they have to bathe three times a day. They even bathe more frequently than the current generation of people in Guangdong and other places in the south. This is such a terrible thing. The most important thing is that they never expected that this kind of custom would actually give them

It brought about a fatal disaster. What exactly happened? Around 425 AD, the strength of the Huns who entered Europe grew rapidly. Yueban Chanyu began to straighten his back, and even wanted to intervene in the affairs of the interior of Asia again.

. He decided to visit Rouran in person and form an alliance with Datan. But just after entering the land of Rouran, Yue Banchan was shocked by the sight in front of her. She found that the people of Rouran neither washed their clothes nor washed their hands, and the men did not wash their hands.

They didn't tie their hair in pigtails and licked the tableware with their tongues after eating. To Yueban people, they felt disgusting, so they turned around and returned home before they saw Rouran sweating profusely.

Datan was very angry about this incident. He thought he had been insulted, and then sent troops to attack Yue Ban. The two countries began to fight for a long time, with each other winning or losing. This protracted war consumed all the energy of Yue Ban,

As a result, the control of the Western princes was also greatly weakened. Soon, the originally independent European Huns tribes, under the leadership of Attila and others, unified into a powerful empire. For Rouran Heyueban, it was really

It's too late to regret. The conflict between Yueban and Rouran is actually not only due to the difference in customs between the two countries. Both Wusun and Kangju were kind to Yueban, but after Rouran rose up, they defeated Wusun. And

We know that the Kushan Kingdom and Yueban are also allies, but the Kushan people were also forced by Rouran to move south to the Indus River, and Kangju was also forced to surrender to Rouran. As a good friend of these countries, Yueban must have feelings for Rouran.

He had developed a feeling of disgust for a long time. After the two sides started fighting, Yue Ban also had to find suitable allies in the face of the powerful alliance of Rou Ran and Yida. Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain his advantage during the long war. So Yue Ban

General united Persia and Jitaluo.

After consolidating its dominance in the Indus Valley, the Gita Kingdom continued to invade the territory eastward. Even the huge Gupta Kingdom spent a lot of effort to withstand Yue's offensive. Gita

The kingdom's eastward advance was blocked, so it had to turn around and attack the Sasanian Persian Empire. The tsar who ruled the Sasanian Persian Empire at that time was Bahran V. When he was still the prince, he behaved very shamefully, so in the minds of the people

His image was also very bad. After becoming king, he improved his image. It happened that the Roman Empire was split into two parts, the East and West. It was also devastated by the great migration of European peoples caused by the Huns. Bahran V also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

Taking advantage of the situation, in 421 AD, Bahran V led his army to the west and faced off with the Eastern Roman Empire army on the banks of the Euphrates River. However, the morale of the armies of the two countries was very low, so they could not fight. So the two sides

After a boring confrontation for half a year, Bahran V began to lose confidence. He actually suggested that each of the two opposing armies select a warrior to decide the outcome. As a result, the Eastern Roman warriors won. Bahran V felt bored.

He signed a contract with the Eastern Roman Empire, and this boring conquest ended. Four years later, when faced with the invading Gidoro people, Bahran began to hunt alone all day long, not caring at all.

The border area was ravaged by the enemy, and for a time he was recognized by the people as a foolish king. Because he especially liked to shoot wild ass, everyone gave him an interesting nickname: the Wild Ass Czar.

Just when the Persian Empire encountered a catastrophe, the alliance between Yueban, Rouran and Yanda broke apart openly. Yueban turned to his ally Jiduoluo for help. Jiduoluo was driven out by the Rouran people, so they always had a problem in their hearts.

Resentment. Now choosing to unite with Yueban is the best thing for Jiduoluo. So they quickly reconciled with the Persians, so the Yueban-Jiduoluo-Sassanid-Persian alliance was officially

The Three Kingdoms Alliance was established. The first target of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was the Yanda people. Yanda suddenly found herself surrounded by enemy countries on three sides. She also wanted to pick a weak persimmon among these three countries, and the one chosen was naturally Persia, which was ruled by a faint king.

In 427 AD, the Ass army crossed the desert and appeared on the Iranian plateau. The towns in eastern Persia fell one after another, and the enemy's iron hooves had reached Tehran. At such a critical juncture, the Wild Ass Tsar announced that he would organize an army to fight.

But as soon as he left the capital, there was no news. The king suddenly disappeared. The ministers were dumbfounded, and the people were also dumbfounded. After discussion, the ministers had no choice but to take out the money in the treasury and beg Yanda to withdraw his troops.

When the people returned home happily, they were ambushed by the Persian army in a valley in Mare, Turkmenistan. It turned out that Bahran V was not a foolish king. He went out hunting for so many years, in fact, all for

To deceive others, his real purpose, even if it was for military exercises, was to go out to conduct a thorough inspection of the country's geographical conditions. In fact, when he suddenly disappeared, he led 7,000 warriors on sheepskin rafts across Lehai and reached the front of the Yida army.

The Donkey Tsar used some of the wild animals he had hunted for many years to make military drums. Then he asked his subordinates to plug their ears with cloth, and in the dead of night, they went to the enemy's camp and beat them hard. The enemy did not expect that a sudden message would be heard.

There was an outburst of noise, and chaos suddenly broke out. Lord Nianda mounted his war horse and was about to escape, but his horse was not familiar with the terrain. In the dark, he was tripped on the edge of the mountain, and was taken by the Persian pursuers.

Life.

Bahran V captured a large number of trophies, and then continued to conquer the east in the afterglow of victory, killing all the way through the Karakum Desert, restoring all the land occupied by the Jidoro people, and erecting a huge stone pillar as a symbol of Persia

and declared that if any barbarians dared to cross the boundary mark, they would be punished. From then on, no one looked down upon the wild ass tsar. Wild ass also became popular among Persia and Arabia because of this king.

There was a symbol of cowardice, which was transformed into a symbol of bravery. To this day, in Arabic and Iranian languages, it still retains this meaning.

The Yada suffered a defeat, and the Gyda people took the opportunity to attack north of the Amu Darya River. Under the joint offensive of Persia and Gyda, the Yyda people were forced to shrink northward, and the main force of the Rouran army was also restrained by Yueban.

In this way, the Northern Wei Dynasty got a big advantage. In 428 AD, Dadan Khan once again sent more than 10,000 cavalry south to attack the Great Wall area, but this time the harvest was not much. After this war, Tuoba Tao saw Rouran's

His strength was no longer as strong as before, so he wanted to take the opportunity to conquer the Rouran Khanate in one fell swoop. In April 429, Tuoba Tao held military exercises in the southern suburbs of Pingcheng, preparing to attack Rouran. Except for Cui Hao, all civil and military officials were concerned about this

Tuoba Tao took a reserved approach to military operations and used astrology to warn Tuoba Tao. Tuoba Tao was hesitant about this matter, so he asked Cui Hao and Zhang Yuan to debate. Cui Hao also knew astrology, and he put forward a conclusion to refute Zhang Yuan.

Yuan and Zhang Yuan had no choice but to change the subject, claiming that the expedition to Rouran could not obtain real benefits because the land there could not be cultivated. Cui Hao insisted that Rouran was originally a rebellious slave of our country, and now that the opportunity has finally come, they must be killed

Take it back. Moreover, the Mobei region has a cool climate and abundant water and grass. You can drive your livestock there to graze in the summer. Who says that land has no economic value. If any Rouran nobles come to defect to them, they will be promised high officials and generous benefits.

Lu. Moreover, he also pointed out that the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was mainly based on cavalry, unlike the Han people who often suffered losses when they used infantry to chase the nomads. If they did not take the initiative to launch an attack in the summer, Rouran would definitely go south again in the autumn.

At this time, the envoy from the Northern Wei Dynasty returned to Pingcheng and reported that Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong was preparing for the Northern Expedition and asked the Northern Wei Dynasty to return the territory south of the Yellow River. The Queen Mother and some ministers believed that if Rouran lures the enemy deep into the country, there will be no gain in attacking Rouran.

If we are attacked by the Song people again, wouldn't we be in danger? Cui Hao also argued that the Central Plains people have more infantry, so they move slowly. If our army can attack quickly, we can attack before the Central Plains people arrive.

Defeat Rouran. This season happens to be the season when Rouran is unprepared. If we attack them when they are not prepared, we can definitely wipe them out in one fell swoop. In fact, what Cui Hao said is right. The Northern Wei army appeared on the Mobei grassland in May.

Rouran, which had already spent a lot of money in the peaceful war, was shocked and fled one after another. The Northern Wei army drove for 3,000 miles and encountered almost no decent resistance. Some nobles of Rouran and the Gaoche people who were originally attached to Rouran also

They all fell to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Tuoba Tao climbed to the top of the mountain and suspected that there was an ambush in front of him, so he did not dare to go deeper and ordered the army to withdraw. Later, according to the account of the captured Rouran people, Datan Khan was seriously ill at that time, and he even ordered his troops to retreat.

They were unable to ride, so they had to ride in a donkey cart and hide in the valley. Tuoba Tao regretted very much that he had let Da Tan run away. Then he heard that Gaoche was grazing in the Lake Baikal area in the east, so he quickly sent troops to attack Gaoche.

The gains from this war were not small, and Tuoba Tao felt a little more mentally balanced.

After this fiasco, the population and economy of Rouran suffered huge losses. Under constant external wars, Datan's condition gradually worsened, and he finally died. Datan had several sons, but they were all poor in ability, and Rouran

Some nobles in the country thought that none of his sons were suitable to be khans, so in the end they supported Datan's youngest son Wu Ti to succeed him, known as Qilian Khan, which means sacred khan. In fact,

I think the reason why the youngest son was made a khan was probably because the nobles of the Rouran Kingdom had selfish motives and wanted to gain greater power. Tuoba Tao was in a very good mood when he heard that his old rival had died.

Quickly find Cui Hao and ask him to continue writing the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty and praise himself. It should be pointed out that this book is not only the first official history book of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also the first work to narrate the history of Rouran. However,

Cui Hao was a very cunning person. He was different from those professional historians in history. Because he still held an important position in the court, he actually used the opportunity of writing history books to seek personal gain with power and solicit bribes everywhere. In this national history, he

He glorified himself as the main decision-maker of the Northern Wei Dynasty and vilified his political opponents, including when his cousin-in-law Wei Shou later wrote the Book of Wei. Moreover, Wei Shou himself said something like this

It can be said that this sentence is both true and shows the ugliness of this person. He said that as historians, they regard historical figures as high as heaven and as low as the earth. The history of the Rouran nation has been seriously distorted in their writings.

The Northern Wei Dynasty won almost every war against Rouran, but the real situation was a half-win situation.

Why Rouran is not known to future generations, and why the Huns are so popular among Chinese people. It is probably largely related to the historians who wrote the history of the Huns and Rouran. The two people responsible for writing the history of the Huns were Sima Qian and Ban Gu.

Both of them are very famous historians, and there is nothing to say about their personalities. However, Rouran history has caught up with Cui Hao and Wei Shou, causing the status of Rouran history to be seriously dwarfed.

After Wu Ti ascended the throne, Tuoba Tao pacified Helianding and defeated Liu Yilong, so Wu Ti was very worried that the next target of the Northern Wei Dynasty would be himself. So he took the initiative to send envoys to the Northern Wei Dynasty to seek peace, and Tuoba Tao did not want to be trapped in two sides.

The dilemma of fighting on the front line, and the long-term war would also bring many conflicts to the country. So he decided to make peace with Rouran, and the two sides ended the war for more than 40 years. And in 434 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty officially made peace with

Rouran made peace. But this peaceful situation did not last long. Even in 436 AD, after just two years of peace, the Northern Wei Dynasty sent troops to attack Rouran's ally Beiyan. Wu Ti was therefore

He broke the alliance and went south to attack the Great Wall again. Yueban, Sogdia and other countries had no choice but to send people to ask for help from the Northern Wei Dynasty. In order to curb the expansion of the Rouran Kingdom, Tuoba Tao decided to personally conduct the Northern Expedition in 438 AD. However, due to lack of preparation for this expedition, there were

Many war horses died of thirst in the Gobi Desert. The plague was prevalent in the army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tuoba Tao quickly ordered a retreat.

Life insights: In real life, only those who take action can get the feedback of life in the process of action. Even if the direction of action is wrong, you can learn from it and make yourself better in the future.

More experience to deal with similar difficulties.

Without action, it is impossible to achieve results. Although thoughts are essential, the most important thing is to put them into practice, think more, and more importantly, do more.

Success always favors people who are determined, energetic, and quick to act. This kind of person is not only good at making decisions, but also good at executing them. When faced with a problem, he will comprehensively consider the situation he is facing and act decisively.

Make a choice and then implement it resolutely. Such a person has extraordinary management capabilities. He not only makes plans, but is also able to execute them. He not only makes decisions, but is also able to implement them to the end.

People who are down-to-earth and willing to work always act early. If you want to achieve something great, after you set a lofty goal, you must calm down, take it seriously, and do what you should do in a down-to-earth manner. On the road to success

, you should not dream of reaching the sky in one step. If the foundation is not solid, then your goal will be like a castle in the air. Therefore, a truly smart person will take it one step at a time and use his own actions to build the cornerstone of success.

Some people who are in their prime of life eat and drink and are lazy in doing things. They don’t understand the principle of “you will get something in return if you pay”, and they always have endless excuses to excuse their laziness.

Especially when I first started, I always did some basic work, which seemed to have little connection with my career and the essence of life, and I might feel bored again. Even though I understand that "this kind of basic work" is indispensable, I don't know why.

It's just that I don't have enough energy, and it arouses the disgust of others, so I feel more bored and less motivated.

Many young people start to fantasize after seeing professional players and their favorite musicians on TV: "It would be great to be like that!" The dream begins from here, and then they start to practice repeatedly. After mastering the basic knowledge

The first stage, of course, is to start from scratch in a down-to-earth manner. When you think back ten years later, you will have a profound understanding: "It took ten years of hard work on the basics to reach the current level."

Once you have an idea, you must act immediately. However, some people are always indecisive and hesitant. By the time they decide what to do, they have often missed the opportunity. In the end, they can only say: "If I had done it at that time,

If I do that, it will definitely not be like this now, but what problems will happen if I do this now?" This kind of forward-looking and backward thinking makes them stagnant, and even if God gives another chance, they will not be able to seize it.

This way of thinking causes obstacles when people take action. They always let their erratic thoughts influence their plans, but they think that they have considered all aspects carefully. In fact, this kind of thinking that they think they are smart is an extremely conservative idea.

The way of thinking. But outstanding people are just the opposite. They will take immediate action on what they are determined to do, and they will not do it until they do it. Once they take action, there must be results.

A successful person will not be a perfect person and will have various shortcomings, but he knows what he needs and works hard to pursue it. He will make mistakes and encounter setbacks, but he will always stand up quickly and continue
