Chapter 415: Mentoring River City
Breaking free from the Kushan Empire's control means being prepared to be attacked by the Kushan Empire.
During this period, although under the general trend, the frost slowly withered. But if nothing else, within fifty years, it will still be a prosperous Central Asian empire.
"That's it, alas! We help Dawan and Kangju in order to get rid of the control of big countries and let our small countries truly stand on their own feet. Removing wolves and adding tigers is not our original intention! "The turtle is long, short, and sighs incessantly.
Dawan and Kangju both belong to the Yaozhishui (Syr Darya) basin.
Yaozhishui and Fushui (Amu Darya) are both large rivers that run through the Western Regions, one is the longest and the other has the largest water inflow, and eventually flows into the Aral Sea.
"Throughout the ages? When did the kingdom of Turtles stand on its own? ”
Hu Yongmu also sighed for a long time.
If you talk about closeness, Qiuzi must have preceded the Han Dynasty. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qiuzi and the Han Dynasty have always maintained a good relationship. King Qiuzi has traveled thousands of miles to the Han Dynasty many times to worship.
I learned the clothing system of the Han people, and governed the palace according to the system of the Han Dynasty.
"The current king of Kushan is a man with a small belly. After Kangju, Dawan and others no longer worship Kushan, Hu Bi Sega II will definitely send troops to settle their grievances. However, if there are Han Chinese, they will win. ”
King Qiuzi said to Hu Yongmu in a deep voice.
After all, the Great Han had a great war with the Kushan Empire a hundred years ago, and it ended in victory.
This is a battle that is one of the few strokes in the history books, and historians classify it as a minor friction among the countries of the Western Regions. A small battle in the middle of Dingyuan's Hou Rongma's life.
During the first year of Emperor Yong, the Kushan Empire asked the Han for a princess's wife, but Ban Chao refused.
The nameless king of Kushan sent his vice-king Xie and 70,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Pamir Plateau, the roof of the world, and attack the vassal states of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty's Western Regions Protector gathered soldiers and horses from all the subordinate countries in the Western Regions to show that the enemy was weak, lured the enemy to go deeper, and laid an ambush to besiege the Yue's army, and forced it to send envoys to surrender.
This battle did not cost a single soldier of the central government of the Han Dynasty, and easily defused a disaster in the countries of the Western Regions.
Judging from the history of the Han Dynasty's operation of the Western Regions, this war naturally consolidated the sovereignty of the Han Dynasty over the Western Regions, and formed a natural dividing line on the Silk Road. The Han Dynasty's sovereignty over the area east of the Green Mountains has continued from that time to the present day, and will continue in the future, until the territory of the later peaceful era.
The Han Dynasty dismissed the battle, believing it to be merely a border conflict. Even Ban Chao, who has been on the frontier for a long time, is the same, he doesn't know the name of King Guishan, and calls him "King of the Moon Clan", which is a contemptuous title, putting the status of Guishan and Dawan together.
At that time, the king of Kushan was a nameless king, and this was a great monarch who was called the savior of Kushan in history.
But the Indians and Central Asians certainly didn't think so, and this war can be said to have influenced the national policy of the Kushan Empire for hundreds of years.
After the eastward advance was blocked, the Kushan people realized the great power of the Han Dynasty, and switched to a policy of good-neighborliness and good-neighborliness towards the Han Dynasty, and there was no more war. It can be seen from the later wave tone pro-Wei.
On the other hand, the Kushan Empire adjusted its military expansion policy from "eastward" to "southward", and the Kushans occupied northwestern India southward, conquering the Indians. Defeating the mighty Persian Empire to the west, its power reached the Aral Sea.
"Yes, King Dawan has long been united with Khorezm, and even Xian Cai, who is out of the way, is willing to send troops." Hu Yongmu nodded and said.
Xiancai is a Central Asian ethnic group in the north of Kushan, Dawan and Kangju in the northwest. Nomadic herders in the Aral Sea.
There are historical records that the customs of Xiangcai are the same as those of Kangju, Kangju is the same as Yue's, and Yue's is the same as that of the Xiongnu.
These nomads are all in the northwest of China, which proves that the Xiangcai were originally East Asian nomads.
Xiancai is a big tribe, and there are 100,000 strings. Even Guishuang didn't dare to provoke easily.
Dawan and Kangju wooed Xiangcai and Qiuzi. It was a foolproof strategy and vowed to let go of oneself.
"Lord of the country, will there be such a possibility, after the Han comes, Kangju and Dawan will not obey the jurisdiction of the Han and rebuild with Guishan?"
Gui Zixiang said cautiously to Hu Yongmu.
"It's possible! That's what worries me the most. Hu Yongmu sighed again.
Kangju and Dawan paid the price, isn't it just to get rid of the fetters, what is the difference between being fettered by the Han and being fettered by Guishuang?
In a narrow sense, Dawan and Kangju do not belong to the Western Regions. Therefore, Dawan and Kangju are far from having this kind of admiration for the Han Dynasty of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
"Sweat and blood BMW, did the lord of the country give it to Guan Yu?"
Gui Zixiang looked at Hu Yongmu who sighed. Turning to him, the conversation began.
"I love BMW, but I value it even more. The world says I am arrogant, but I am not arrogant. When the Han came, the BMW would not be able to keep it, just like the Marquis of Dingyuan, the King of Dawan was afraid of the Han people, and offered a BMW to his mount. Compared with Dawan, I am still a lot worse. ”
Hu Yongmu said slowly.
"The lord of the country is wise, the king of Shule, the king of Khotan, and the king of Xiaowan are all people who kill chickens and take eggs, and they can't be compared with the lord of the country."
Gui Zixiang exclaimed.
The next day, a piece of news reached its Qiancheng.
Guan Yu combined the soldiers of the front and rear chariot divisions and coerced the six countries of Shanbei.
The six nations trembled and surrendered, and the division was merged.
Guan Yu spread the rumor that he wanted to invite the imperial court to descend to the six kings of the north of the mountain, as well as the former king of the Cheshi, Wei Yu, as the marquis. After ordering the car division, the king Juhong is the king of the car division. And eight countries as one, also called the driver.
Another inscription was passed into the hands of King Qiuzi. Ordered the king of Qiuzi to gather the cavalry of the whole country and join forces in Jiaohe City.
Dozens of texts were transmitted to the 36 countries of the Western Regions.
If the Protectorate of the Western Regions existed, this kind of transfer would not dare to disobey the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
Today is not the past, whether the Western Regions countries transfer their cavalry to Jiaohe City depends on the respect that the kings of the Western Regions have for the Han in their hearts.
As soon as the text arrived, King Qiuzi once again summoned the civil and military ministers.
"Guan Yu wants us to transfer troops, and it's also cavalry? What does it mean? Excuse me. ”
Hu Yongmu opened his mouth and said to the civil and military ministers.
"Guan Yu only dispatches cavalry, and its meaning is self-evident, Guan Yu wants to lead the cavalry of the Western Regions to go out of the Western Regions and attack Xianbei."
Gui Zixiang bowed to Hu Yongmu.
He had already guessed about this matter, and now it seems that there is indeed nothing wrong.
The western Xianbei was not completely defeated by the Han army, so Guan Yu came to the Western Regions, recruited the troops of the Western Regions, and then attacked Xianbei.
After Hu Yongmu listened, he sat on the couch. frowned and said: "Wu Qiuzi has five thousand cavalry, and Guan Yu has a few chances of winning." Erlang fights, can he return to his hometown? ”
"If you don't send troops. Guan Yusheng introduced the Han division into the Western Regions, and all countries that did not send troops to the country were to be liquidated by the Han army. If you send troops to go, Xianbei wins, and those who send troops will face Xianbei's raids. However, the old minister suggested sending troops. Guizi bowed and said.
"You mean that the Han army will win." Hu Yongmu asked.
"The central part does not exist, and Xianbei is not alone in the court. Liu Fan was poor and weak, and he could still wage war when soldiers and horses were scarce. More full-fledged and wide-frustrated. You don't see stirrups and saddles, and the Han army often has soldiers thousands of miles away. A western one could simply not be an opponent of the Han hussars. Plus the east, you can have an enemy. ”
Gu Zixiang's eyes were full of wisdom.
