50,000 Song troops lined up in a neat battle formation, and under the leadership of Wu Ji, they poured into the territory of Western Xia like a sea tide. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, this best route for China's march to the Western Regions fell into the hands of the Liao State, and for more than 100 years, it has not been used by the Song Dynasty. In order to attack Western Xia, the Song Dynasty had to attack from Shaanzhou and suffered enough.

Now, this best route has not only returned to the hands of China, but also ushered in the long-lost Chinese army, which is of great significance, no matter how much praise is overstated!

The soldiers' eyes shone brightly, and they were extremely proud!

For us modern people, we may not be able to know the important surname of this road, as well as the incomparably glorious history! For the Song people, they remember it very well. Because, after more than 100 years of weakness, he misses the prosperous Tang Dynasty all the time, and looks forward to it all the time, if it can be like the Tang Dynasty, the army appears on this road, how exciting it should be!

Wu Ji rode on a war horse, the first to cross the Song realm, into the territory of Western Xia, his heart was surging, his blood was stirring, his chest was full of pride, he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, shook the nine heavens, roared, and said: "This is the road of heroes!" This is a glorious hymn! ”

Yes, this best route for marching is the heroic road of the Chinese nation and the hymn of the prosperity of the Chinese nation!

I don't know how many heroes have walked on this path. They created glorious war songs, and many legends are still in circulation today.

"Yes!" Zhou Wei's voice trembled a little, he was extremely excited, and echoed loudly, "This is the road of heroes, this is the hymn of heroes!" This is the road to the prosperity of China! Since Huo Quzhi led the army to defeat King Hutu and King Hun Evil, I don't know how many heroes have embarked on this road. ”

After a slight pause, his voice suddenly turned higher, and he counted with his fingers: "Huo Qubing was the first to set foot on this road, defeated the 240,000 Xiongnu army with 30,000 elite cavalry, took the Hexi Corridor, and cut off the Xiongnu's right arm." At that time, the Xiongnu sang a song very sadly, "Losing my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest." I have lost my mountains, and my women have no color. At that time, the land west of the river was lost, and the blow to the Xiongnu was very great, as we know from this song. ”

Huangfu Song took over the conversation and said, "Actually, the first person to really set foot on this road to fight was not Huo Quai, but Li Mu. Huo Qubing was the first general to take down the Hexi Corridor, Li Mu attacked Hu and gave Henghu thousands of miles, but he did not take down the land of Hexi, and did not belong to the territory of Zhao State. ”

Strictly speaking, the first person to embark on this path was Li Mu, the general of Zhao during the Warring States Period. He defended the land on behalf of the people, led the soldiers to attack Hu, crisscrossed the Hu land for thousands of miles, and once broke the king of Hutu and the evil king. However, he fought and left, did not take down this place, did not incorporate the land west of the river into the territory of Zhao, so it was not long before King Hutu and King Hun made a comeback and reoccupied this land.

It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Qubing to attack the Hexi Corridor that this land was incorporated into the territory of Huaxia for the first time, so the impact of Huo Quai's attack on the Hexi Corridor was particularly great.

He took the Hexi Corridor, not only cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu, so that there were no Xiongnu in Monan, and Yi Zhixian had to lead the royal court to Mobei.

The most important thing is that the Hexi Corridor is the only way to connect the central area of China to the Western Regions, and the famous "Silk Road" must pass through here, and it cannot be bypassed in any case.

Since Huo Qu's illness, there have been many heroes and heroes who have embarked on this road, and their names have been passed down through the ages!

"Huh!" Qi Dabao let out a long laugh and said: "I don't read much, in order to know the deeds of my predecessors, I invited an old Confucian during this time, and I have worked hard to know a lot about things here." If the first general to attack this land must be Li Mu, it's a pity that he didn't take down this land, this was done by Huo Quai! After Huo Qu's illness, there was also Zhao Chongguo, who was the first general to use troops against Xiqiang, and he once led his troops to Jishi Mountain in Tibet. ”

Jishi Mountain is not famous, there are not many people who know, if it is said that Dayu controls the water, there are many people who know. Jishi Mountain is the source of Dayu's water control. The terrain there is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was fought here in the Han Dynasty, which is very rare.

"Ban Dingyuan is not angry about Confucianism, he abandoned his pen and followed Rong, entered the Western Regions from this road, and guarded the Western Regions for decades, what a heroic style and heroism!" When Qi Dabao said this, he couldn't help but have flames on his face: "When we destroy Western Xia, we will open the way to enter the Western Regions." At that time, I should invite an army to enter the Western Regions and guard the Western Regions like Ban Dingyuan! ”

Ban Dingyuan is Ban Chao, a famous hero.

"In order to understand the heroic feats of my predecessors, I also invited an old Confucian to read some books." Li Mingchu was extremely proud, his chest was straight, his head was held high, and he said with a smile: "The Han and Tang dynasties are prosperous, and the great achievements of the Han Dynasty are closely related to this road, and the same is true of the previous dynasties. Li Jing once led his troops to destroy Tuyuhun, and Li Daozong even destroyed Tuyuhun, what a feat! Tuyuhun, once strong, self-assured that the terrain is dangerous, unstoppable, once Li Jing's army arrives, is it not a gray wind? ”

Tuyuhun is mainly in the current Qinghai and Gansu generation, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is no fear, so it wantonly harassed the Tang Dynasty. Tang Taizong was furious and sent Li Jing as a general, and Li Jing led Li Daozong, the chief of the march, to fight a big battle with Tuyuhun, and finally destroyed Tuyuhun. Hundreds of thousands of people in Tuyuhun beat Li Jing to ashes.

The place of the battle is on the Hexi Corridor, on the road that Wu Ji and the others have set on!

"There are also Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, and Feng Changqing, they have all walked this path." Han Fang was very interested, and also came to speak: "Although Gao Xianzhi has the defeat of Talas, it is precisely because of his efforts that the strength of the previous dynasty in the Western Regions has risen greatly, and it has been suppressed for decades. If it had not been for the defeat of Talas, the Tang army would have marched westward. Even if there is the defeat of Talas, if there is no Anshi Rebellion, the previous dynasty will still have great achievements in the Western Regions! ”

With the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, even if ten Talas are defeated, they will not be afraid, they will recover, and the speed will be very fast. The defeat of Talas made Li Longji very unconvinced, and he was determined to be ashamed and increased a large number of troops to the Western Regions, which greatly increased the strength of the Western Regions. If there had not been the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty had learned the lesson of the defeat of Talas and made a comeback, and the Arab Empire would definitely not have been able to defeat it.

The reason why Gao Xianzhi failed in Talas was not that the Tang army was not good at fighting, but that his army was too small. The Battle of Talas lasted for five days. In these five days, the combat power of the Tang Army was fully exerted, pressing the Ala Empire. However, Gao Xianzhi's troops were too small to achieve the final victory, and the war had to drag on, and finally gave the Arab Empire a rebellion against the traitors, opened a way, and exposed the Tang army, which led to the defeat of the Tang army.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to make a comeback, it only needed to do one thing, and increase its troops to the Western Regions. As long as the Western Regions gets enough troops, it will not be a problem to wash away the shame.

"After we destroy the Western Xia and recover the Western Regions, and then solve the Yelu Hongji, there will be no war in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty can continue to fight against the Great Soldiers and wash away the shame of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhou Wei suddenly screamed, excited, his fists clenched, and his eyes shot fiercely.

"Yes! Yes! The generals echoed in unison.

When it comes to the Tang Dynasty, they miss the strength of the Tang Dynasty very much. However, the defeat of Talas made them extremely unhappy. If the Song Dynasty recovered the Western Regions, it would open the way to fight against the Great Food, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty would advance along the road of conquest of the Tang Dynasty, fight against the Great Food again, and wash away the shame of the Tang Dynasty, how exciting it would be!

The generals are all enthusiastic, and the fighting spirit is high, which cannot be suppressed!

If this had been said before, it would have been a fantasy and could not have been realized. For now, it's different, and it's likely to happen. In the past, the Western Xia was on this road, and the Song Dynasty could not even take back the Western Regions, where could it fight with the Great Food. Now, the fall of Western Xia is imminent, and the Western Regions are about to be recovered, and it is not far off to face the Great Eclipse again.

Washing away the shame of the Tang Dynasty and continuing the glory, it is really attractive, Wu Ji couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and sang loudly: "You don't see, the end of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please be long!" You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan, the Peerless Light Cavalry urges the battle cloud ......"

This "Song of the Army" has been widely circulated in later generations, making people's blood boiling, and how many men have been touched at one time! And coincidentally, the first two sentences are actually related to the Hexi Corridor and the road under Wu Ji's feet.

Wu Ji sang, Zhou Wei, Huangfu Song, Qi Dabao, Li Mingchu, and Han Fang were greatly infected, and sang in unison, "You don't see, Han Zhongjun, weak crown captive, please Changying!" You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan, the Peerless Light Cavalry urges the battle cloud ......"

The singing is heroic, urging people to forge ahead, making people's blood boiling, tens of thousands of Song army soldiers listened to their ears, and they all sang loudly: "You don't see, the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please be long!" You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan, the Peerless Light Cavalry urges the battle cloud ......"

In the majestic and heroic singing, the army hurried and flew across in the singing!

Under their feet is the road of Chinese heroes piled up with the bones of foreign races, and countless Chinese heroes have stepped on this road to glory and created countless legends!

Li Mu, Huo Quzhi, Zhao Chongguo, Ban Chao, Li Jing, Li Daozong, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing...... They are just some of these heroes, and there are countless more unknown heroes!

There are many, many heroes who have walked this path! There are countless of them, so to speak! No one knows how many!

No matter how many of them there are, their great achievements are the most glorious page in the history of China!

The glory of China is closely related to this road!

It can be said that without this glorious heroic road, there would be no prosperity in China!

Wu Ji led the Song army to embark on this heroic road, what kind of glory will it create?

No matter what the outcome is, the Song army embarking on this path means that the prelude to the Song Dynasty's return to the top has begun!

The time has come to renew the glory!
