In the twelfth year of China, after Wei Rui, the general of Zhenxi, arrived in Liangzhou, he immediately led Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Li Daozong, Pang De, Yan Xing and others to garrison troops in Dunhuang.

At the turn of the spring and summer of the thirteenth year, Wei Rui swore an oath in Dunhuang and sent 30,000 troops to the west into the Western Regions.

The Han dynasty once set up the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions and built dozens of cities. Later, the Han dynasty was in decline, the road to the Western Regions was cut off, and the cities in the Western Regions were occupied by the Western Regions countries.

In the north of the Western Regions is the habitat of the Northern Xiongnu, who fled here after Dou Xian's conquest of the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu who migrated west during the Western Han Dynasty had already migrated to Europe, successfully commanded the whip of God across Europe, and became the ancestor of the Huns.

After the Northern Xiongnu were expelled to the northern part of the Western Regions, they had been fighting against the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they took advantage of the rebellion in various parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty to cut off the Silk Road and oppress the countries of the Western Regions.

And many of the countries in the Western Regions are also fighting for tigers, and they have gradually grown.

Wei Rui took Pang Deyan to lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to the north road, and the Xiongnu here were the most arrogant. When they marched to Yiwu, they were attacked by the Huns.

However, these Huns were less effective than the Southern Huns. If it weren't for the good horses that came and went like the wind, they might have been shot by Wei Rui's crossbow array.

Wei Rui sent Pang De in pursuit, and he stayed in Yiwu to rebuild the city of Yihe Duwei, leaving a Duwei with five hundred men to guard the place.

Divide the troops and send Yan Xing to the north, cross the Tianshan Mountains to attack the Pu country, and move the country. These two countries have also been oppressed by the Xiongnu for a long time, and as soon as they heard that the Han army was coming, they immediately rebelled against the Xiongnu and greeted Yan Xing.

Yan Xing led the two countries to defeat the Xiongnu soldiers, and set up garrison cities in two, leaving two lieutenants, each with 500 people to garrison.

Wei Rui took Pang De as the pioneer and went west to Liuzhong, pursued the Xiongnu and fled to Gaochangbi. The Huns ambushed Wei Rui and charged Wei Rui from the top of the sand dunes. As a result, before he could rush down the dune, he was shot over by Wei Rui, and he had to run away again.

Wei Rui continued to send Pang De in pursuit, and he himself rebuilt the city of Wuji Captain in Gaochangbi. Leave a captain to lead a thousand men to protect the grain road.

Continue west to Jiaohe City, which has been occupied by the front of the Che Division. Wei Rui attacked the front of the Che Division, expelled it, and recaptured Jiaohe City.

Continue westward to Weisu, and the country of Weisu was also coerced by the Xiongnu. Wei Rui sent troops to attack the state of Weisu and the Xiongnu. Once again, the Xiongnu fled, and the king of Weisu led his men to surrender and begged Wei Rui for forgiveness. Wei Rui rebuked his misdeeds, made his son king, and sent him to Shouchun.

The king of the country of Weisu still got a good end, and many kings of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were killed by the Xiongnu, and even the country was cut off. Some of the kings who favored the Xiongnu were also killed by Zhang Yijun in the battle, and they were directly removed from the country.

Wei Rui led his troops to Nanhe City and attacked the Qi Kingdom. The Yanqi Kingdom was also an accomplice of the Xiongnu, and its king was killed by the Pounds in the course of the battle. After occupying Nanhecheng, Wei Rui directly removed the country.

Send Pound east to attack the mountain country. The mountain country is located on the edge of the desert, in the middle of the north and south roads, and only a few Huns are stationed. Pound set up a garrison city in the mountain country, leaving a lieutenant with 500 men to garrison.

Wei Rui continued to the west to Wulei, Yancheng, and Itqiancheng, and the Xiongnu soldiers in the three places were concentrated in Qiancheng, as well as the subordinate soldiers of the Qiuzi Kingdom. Wei Rui captured its Qiancheng in three days and killed more than 2,000 Hun soldiers. The Huns continued to retreat, and the state of Qiuzi surrendered. Wei Rui punished the king of Qiuzi Kingdom, escorted him to Shouchun, and re-established the Western Regions Protectorate in its Qiancheng.

Wei Rui stayed in its Qiancheng and sent Pang De to Wensu to attack Gumo, Wensu, and Weitou. None of these three countries is very large, but they occupy a lot of space. It took Pound about ten days to completely defeat them.

Pound continued his march to Chigu Castle and attacked the kingdom of Wusun. Wusun was a great power in the Western Regions, and was originally the staunchest follower of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Western Regions. However, the Huns killed the king of Wusun and coerced the Wusun people to oppose Han. Pound killed more than 1,000 Xiongnu and more than 3,000 Wusun in the first battle, and successfully recovered Wusun.

Taking advantage of the great victory over Wusun, Pound went to Shule, and the Shule country surrendered. Go to Wushi City, to Guishan City, Dawan Kingdom surrendered.

Led troops to Wutu Valley, attacked the rear of the Che Division, and captured the Che Division King by surprise. Divided the army to attack the Xiongnu of Beilu and Dongjimi, and the two countries surrendered.

Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, and Li Daozong went from the South Road to Hunicheng and attacked Shanshanguo. The influence of the Xiongnu on the southern road was very small, and most of them were still Qiang people. Hua Rong and Yang Zhi guarded Liangzhou all the year round, and they were very famous among the Qiang people, so they did not encounter much resistance in Shanshanguo.

Continue to the west to the end, attack the end of the country, the country of Xiaowan. Both countries were also small countries, and when they saw the arrival of the large army, they immediately chose to surrender.

March to the ultimate (the exquisite ancient city where the ghost blows the lamp) and attack the exquisite country. The Elite Kingdom resisted for three days and was destroyed.

Hua Rong took Li Daozong to continue west to Ningmi and attack the country of Mi. Kumi resisted for two days and surrendered.

Send Li Daozong to the south to attack the country of Qule. Qule resisted for three days and surrendered to Li Daozong.

Divide Yang Zhi to the west to attack the country of Pishan. Pishan was frightened and chose to surrender.

Continue to march to Zihe, attack the West Night Country, Hugu Kingdom, the two countries did not resist, directly welcomed Huarong and Li Daozong into the city.

In Zihe, Hua Rong divided his troops. He sent Li Daozong to the west to attack Puli and Deruo. The two countries had few soldiers, and both were broken by Li Daozong in one day.

Yang Zhi led his troops to Zihe, and Hua Rong sent Yang Zhi to the southwest to attack Utuo. Yang Zhi defeated the Utopian country in a battle with a bow and crossbow array.

Hua Rong led his army north to Shache and attacked the country of Shache. After the expulsion of the Huns, the king of the Shache surrendered.

Hua Rong went west to attack the country without thunder, and the country without thunder surrendered.

At this point, more than 30 countries in the Western Regions returned to the rule of the capital protectorate. However, after this war, only 16 of the more than 30 countries remained, and 16 countries were expelled in the war.

When the Western Han Dynasty set up the capital of the Western Regions, there were thirty-six countries, and the remaining four countries either left or died, and they were no longer in the Western Regions.

After opening up the Silk Road, Wei Rui became the first governor of the Western Regions, restored the Silk Road, and finally swore at the age of 78 and was named the king of the city.

Hua Rong and Yang Zhi were also named county princes because of their great achievements in restoring the Western Regions, ranking 63rd and 64th in the list of Chinese founding heroes, and ranking 30th and 31st among military generals.

After that, Pound fought in the north and south, and was finally named the prince of the state, ranking 52nd in the list of meritorious heroes.
