After a long while, I heard Nangong Xue say almost hysterically: "I don't care what terrifying sacred weapons his vampire family has, but I must make them repay their debt with blood!" Nangong Jian advised: "We are all sad about the death of the Jin brothers.
We will definitely avenge this revenge, but we must consider it in the long term!" Listening to the conversation between the two uncles and nephews of the Nangong family, Wu Jie understood their original intentions, but speaking from the bottom of his heart, he agreed more with Nangong Xue's approach, but
It was difficult to explain it directly, so I thought for a while and then started talking about it using a historical allusion I read in the book. The content was that in 110 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that there was a sweat-blooded horse in the distant Western country of Dayuan.
Able to travel thousands of miles a day, he ordered Han Buhu to lead an envoy to Dayuan, hoping to exchange a large amount of money for Tianma. The envoy to Dayuan, led by Zhonglang General Han Buhan, left Dunhuang and crossed the vast desert to Loulan.
Heading into an unknown distance, after half a year of arduous trek, the mission finally arrived at the big city thousands of miles away.
King Wu Wu of Dayuan heard that an envoy from the Han Dynasty had arrived, and quickly ordered to receive him. Han Buyu made a request for the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and carried jewelry and silk, including a golden horse made of pure gold. The king and ministers of Dayuan
Seeing so many gold, silver and jewels, as well as the golden horse, my eyes widened. That night, the palace of Dayuan was brightly lit, and the king convened a meeting. The king and his ministers argued for half the night, but finally they could not get rid of the temptation of the golden horse, so they made up their mind to kill him.
They abandoned the Han envoys and annexed the gold and horses. Dawan was also a big country in the Western Regions and had frequent contacts with the Xiongnu. They thought that although the Han country was powerful, it was far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and there were Gobi and deserts in between. There was nothing it could do to it.
Early the next morning, Han Buyou came to the Royal Court of Dayuan to ask for an answer. King Wuwu said to him: "We accepted the wishes of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. But after our royal meeting, everyone felt that Tianma is our country's national treasure.
, cannot be used in exchange. Please envoy your envoy to go back and convey our apology to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty." Han Buyu was greatly surprised and said: "So, your country doesn't want the golden horses we brought?" King Dawan laughed.
He laughed and said: "Who said we don't want it anymore? Keep everything you bring honestly, and we can let you leave here safely."
Han Buhai never expected that this small country would dare to be so rude to the envoys of the Han Dynasty. He shouted loudly: "Hmph! You, a small country like this, have violated the Heavenly Horse by refusing to surrender to the Heavenly Horse. You dare to force the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
A golden horse?"
The monarchs and ministers of Dawan rolled up their sleeves and pressed forward step by step towards Han Buhai. They shouted, "Hurry up and hand over the golden horse, and I will spare your life!" Han Buhai was filled with indignation and cursed: "You barbarians and Di, you don't understand the etiquette of exchanges.
Okay, take the golden horse!" With that, he took out the golden horse from the crystal box. Immediately, the Dawan people were amazed. Han Buhe took advantage of their unpreparedness, suddenly raised the golden horse high, and fiercely
It fell on the stone pillar in the hall. Jin Ma's head was suddenly missing. He picked up an iron candlestick and started digging around, and Jin Ma immediately turned into a pool of gold cakes! Han Buhu then threw away the candlestick and laughed.
King Wuwu was furious and shouted: "Don't think that because your Han country is strong, I won't dare to kill you?" Han Bushe replied seriously: "I crossed the salty desert and walked the road of death filled with bones.
What else in the world can scare me? It’s ridiculous that you and other small countries today don’t know that a catastrophe is coming. When the army of the Celestial Empire arrives, everything will be destroyed, your men and women will be slaughtered, and your land and property will be reduced to nothing!" Han Buhai!
After saying that, he walked away. The emperor and ministers of Dawan were so shocked by his courage that they didn't wake up until he walked out of the palace.
As soon as Han Bushe left the palace, he immediately led his men to escape from the capital of Dawan and ran hundreds of miles away. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, he slowly felt relieved and came to a small town called Yu Chengguo to replenish food.
He deserved his misfortune. It turned out that Yu Chengguo was actually a vassal state of Dawan. King Yu Cheng learned the news, so he lured Han Bushe and others into the city and captured them all. Only one Loulan guide escaped back to Loulan in despair. King Loulan did not dare
After offending China, he immediately rushed to Dunhuang at night to report the news of the murder of Han Bushe and others to the Han Dynasty.
Three months later, the news reached Chang'an, and the whole court was shocked. Emperor Wu was furious when he learned that Han Buhao and his envoys had all been killed. Since Zhang Sai passed through the Western Regions and opened up the southwestern barbarians, he had conquered South Vietnam and pacified Korea... The Han Dynasty
Envoys, no matter where they go, will be treated with courtesy by the superior country. Even if they are communicating with the Xiongnu, they will not be killed and no one will be left! It is really a shame and a great humiliation.
In 109 BC, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che appointed Li Guangli as the general of the Second Division, led 6,000 Yulin troops, and sent a total of 20,000 prisoners to various counties to start the expedition to Dawan. Since it was the autumn harvest before departure, Guandong
A rare locust plague occurred. The army assembled in Dunhuang embarked on the journey without sufficient supplies. As for military rations, they raised them from various countries in the Western Regions along the way. Anyone who refused to hand over the rations would be regarded as an ally of Dawan, and their cities would be destroyed and destroyed.
clan.
When Li Guang led his troops to the border of Dawan, it was already early winter. Due to the unsuitability of the soil and water and lack of food, countless people died of starvation, disease and were swallowed up by the desert as they trekked all the way through the desert. More than half of the 20,000-strong army was lost.
The horses were also killed and wounded. The soldiers were all dark and thin, as if they had escaped from hell, but they finally saw the capital of Dawan.
The two armies fought a hundred miles east of the capital of Dawan. This group of beggar-like troops in shabby clothes shouted and launched an attack. The coalition forces of Dawan and Yucheng were suppressed. Maybe they had never seen such an army. In the end
The Yucheng army retreated into Yucheng City, while the Dayuan army retreated towards the capital of Dawan. The Han army immediately surrounded Yucheng City and violently attacked the city. Because there was no food, the only way to survive was to capture Yucheng, so the Han army fought tooth and nail.
The attack resulted in extremely heavy losses. After a two-day stalemate, Yu Cheng also suffered huge losses, and the king even had the idea of surrender. Just when the Han army was making a desperate move, the Dawan cavalry suddenly attacked from the side and rear, and the Han army, which had been without food for several days,
The army was attacked from both sides and could no longer hold on any longer, so it was defeated in the east. The Dawan cavalry chased them all the way, leaving Han army corpses strewn across the fields. In the end, only Li Guangli and several hundred others were left and fled back to Dunhuang.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard the news, he was furious. This was the first major defeat he had suffered since Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty launched a campaign against the Xiongnu. Not only that, some small countries in the Western Regions, such as Luntai, etc., learned that the Han army failed to attack Dawan.
They no longer paid attention to the Han Dynasty, and expelled and insulted the Han Dynasty envoys from time to time. Some of them regained contact with the Xiongnu.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately ordered Li Guangli not to enter the customs, and ordered Sang Hongyang to be responsible for military supplies. He mobilized 100,000 military horses, 100,000 cattle and camels to transport supplies, and 500,000 sheep were transported to Dunhuang as meat for the army. As for the troops mobilized
There were a total of 60,000, and scoundrels, bad boys, and criminals from all counties across the country were also sent to join the army. Soon these materials and troops were flowing to Dunhuang from all directions. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that the people of Dawan drank water from the
Outside the city, several water conservancy experts were specially sent to accompany them.
This is not the first time that Li Guangli has conquered Dawan again. The situation is comparable to that of 60,000 troops and tens of thousands of civilians transporting baggage, marching in the desert in a mighty manner, like an unstoppable torrent. This time, we have learned from the previous experience.
Instead of taking the old road that passed through Loulan, we took a detour to the north of Yanze and arrived at the Luntai Kingdom. Even before departure, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an order: Luntai! A small country dares to follow the example of Dawan. Yu Cheng and
The Han Dynasty is our enemy! Raze its cities and slaughter all its men and women! Let the countries in the Western Region know the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty!
Li Guangli's army suddenly appeared under Luntai City, and King Luntai had not yet made any defensive preparations. By the time he received the report, it was too late to close the city gate. The forwards of the Han army had already poured into the city like a tide, massacring and plundering the entire city.
City. In less than two days, tens of thousands of people in Luntai were massacred. The fine grain that could be taken away from the city was all obtained by the Han army, and the remaining houses and properties were burned to the ground. Luntai disappeared from history.
The news that Luntai was razed by the Han army spread to the countries in the Western Regions, and all countries along the way were afraid. Those who had already followed the example of Luntai in accepting the Xiongnu envoys expelled the Huns one after another. When the Han army arrived, they sent out welcoming teams
, greeted them from a distance of several miles, and actively provided the food and drinking water needed by the Han army.
The Han army arrived at Yucheng City and found that it was already an empty city. King Yucheng learned that the Han army was coming and hurriedly led his tribe to flee their homes and move to Dawan. The Han army burned Yucheng to the ground with a fire. Then the tide
They flocked to the west and rushed to the capital of Dawan.
Dawan was surrounded by swarming Han troops, and the water was so tight that it was impossible to see the edge of the city. The Han troops attacked the city from all sides from morning to dusk every day, attacking every city gate. There were almost no trenches outside the city.
It was stuffed with the corpses of the Han army. The Dawan people in the city were also exhausted. All men, women and children went to the top of the city. They knew what would be waiting for them if the city was broken. After a few days, the water conservancy experts of the Han army came to find
There are no water wells outside the Dawan City waterway, and all water is imported from the outside river. Although clever concealment was done before the war started, it was still discovered, and the Han army cut off the water pipes overnight. In order to cause trouble to the Dawan people
Due to the irreparable damage, a new river channel was dug and sand dams were built, forcing the original river to change its course away from Dawan City.
The princes and nobles of Dawan could not hold on at first. They secretly approached Li Guangli and asked for negotiations, expressing their willingness to sacrifice their blood and BMW. Li Guangli demanded that King Dawan and King Yucheng must be executed first. The next day, these two people were killed by his subordinates.
The ministers were bound to the Han camp, and the Han army beheaded the two men under the city of Dawan, and asked Dawan City to donate food. Dawan had no choice but to put down food from the city wall for the Han army to have a feast. Finally, the Han army stood up
Mocai became the new king of Dayuan and embarked on his journey back home with the thousands of horses he had selected.
After this war, the prestige of the Han Dynasty reached a new high. For decades, the countries in the Western Regions did not dare to act rashly. In later generations, Ban Chao and others went to the Western Regions as envoys. A few people and horses could conquer a country. Even the envoys of the Han Dynasty could do so at any time.
He deposed his king and sent out armies from several countries to attack enemy countries, but no one dared to disobey him.
Listening to these allusions Wu Jie said, Nangong Jian remained silent for a long time. However, Nangong Xue's eyes lit up and asked: "What do you mean, what should we do?" Wu Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "Wu Jie
Although I am not talented, I still have a sense of shame. I just want to use the words that have made millions of descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties excited for thousands of years without answering, that is - "Anyone who offends the power of my great Han Dynasty, no matter how far away,
