"The Idioms of Case Eyebrows" Chen Tang stormed three thousand miles to destroy the Northern Huns. Anyone who offends the powerful Han will be punished even if they are far away!

Since ancient times, from the perspective of traditional Chinese Confucian culture, war seems to be the main perpetrator of violence. Whether it is "killing 10,000 enemies and damaging 3,000" or "countless corpses in a pool of blood", the destructiveness of war has been almost infinitely exaggerated, giving rise to two thousand years of emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts, which not only gradually weakened the spirit of martial arts, but also led to It reduced the public’s ignorance of military history. In 2003, when the United States tried to behead Saddam Hussein in the early stages of the war, the first reaction of many people in China was: Can we fight like this in a war?

However, this "one in a million" combat mode is not the first time it has appeared. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, a Chinese general cut through the chaos with a sharp sword on the battlefield and succeeded in one fell swoop, bringing the Dahan Dynasty to the pinnacle of its journey to the west. This little famous man is Chen Tang. He is one of the few people in Chinese military history who became famous in one battle.

Distinguish between right and wrong

In the first half of the Western Han Dynasty, through endless bloody wars, almost everyone was killed along the way. By the time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, the ancestors of the Liu family had fought almost all the wars they could fight. The era when stars such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were shining brightly and galloping on the battlefield was gradually passing. "The light of swords and the shadow of swords, the fighting of drums and horns." By the Han Dynasty, the policy of "king and tyranny for all purposes" was no longer popular, and loose governance policies such as commutation of sentences, lenient administration, and non-competition with the people advocated by Confucianism began to be implemented.

When there was no chaos in the world and endless foreign troubles, there was a sudden thunder: Sima, sent by the Wei Khan court to escort the Xiongnu proton on his mission to the Western Regions, was killed by the proton's father Zhi! After the news came out, the government was shocked! Didn't Zhizhi say that he also wanted to attach himself to the Han Dynasty? How dare you kill me, a minister of the Han Dynasty?

Why, we have to start with the Huns. The once powerful Xiongnu Khanate was repeatedly attacked by the Han army, and its internal and external affairs were difficult. In 60 BC, the "War of the Five Khans" broke out again. Mao Dun's descendants attacked each other and started a fierce battle. "Thousands of people died, livestock production was greatly consumed, and the people were starving due to the chaos, burning wasteland and burning food." Six years later, Huhanxie Shanyu and Zhizhi fought with each other, and both sides failed. In order to gain strategic advantage, both sides sent envoys to the once-incompatible Han Dynasty, and even "sent their sons to serve the Han Dynasty" as hostages to gain the support of the Han Dynasty. For these two Xiongnu Chanyus who successively lost their sincerity, the Han Dynasty not only adopted "mercy", but also adopted a balanced strategy. Hu was defeated by the Khan and rushed for help. He worshiped the Han Dynasty once and for all. Han Ting not only rewarded him a lot, but also sent troops to protect him and help him punish those who disobeyed. History said: "The Southern Xiongnu attached themselves to the Han."

At the same time, Hu surrendered. His mortal enemies thought that he would surrender to North Korea and be defeated, so they took the opportunity to send troops and annexed Hu's territory. When he learned that the Han Dynasty sent troops to escort Hu back to the desert to regain his lost territory, he became furious. First, he accused Han of helping Hu instead of saving himself. Then, he "trapped the Han envoys from the quagmire", invaded the Western Regions, defeated Wusun, annexed the three small kingdoms of Jian, Dingling and Jian, and established his capital in Jiankun. Despite this, he was "unable to compete on his own" and still did not dare to openly confront the Han Dynasty. In 44 BC, he sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Han court, also known as "willing to pay", and asked for the return of the proton.

Hanting is more cautious on this issue. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to send Wei Sima to escort Zhi Duoxing back to his country, the ministers in the DPRK had different opinions. Some people think that Zhizhi is not sincere and it is enough to send the hostages out of the Great Wall. Regarding Jigu's opinions, sending them outside the Great Wall obviously means that they are no longer friendly, and may "bury the hatchet" and give the other party an excuse not to join, so it is best to send them to the Khan's Court to see if they are attached. With the strength of our Han Dynasty, even if Zhizhi dared to attack the world, it would be detrimental to the Han envoys, because they would not dare to approach the border fortress because they would offend the Han Dynasty. Sacrifice one of my envoys, and the border will be quiet for a few years. It's worth it! Finally Emperor Han Yuan agreed. Unfortunately, Yoshitani's words became prophetic. Escorting Zhizhi's son all the way back, Zhizhi broke his promise, refused to acknowledge others, and killed Ji Gu and others to vent his anger.

The two countries are not at odds. A Xiongnu Chanyu named Xiao kept saying that he would surrender to the Han, but he broke his promise and killed the Han's envoy. This is typical diplomatic provocation and outright hostility. ——Nian Zhizhi Khan’s hostility towards the Han Dynasty was fully exposed. He also knew that he had offended the Han Dynasty this time and would likely be retaliated against; with the support of the Han Dynasty, Hu's old rivals became increasingly powerful. If you stay in Jiankun, you may be in danger of being attacked by Chinese and Hungarian troops. what do I do? Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy!

Where did you escape to? The further away from the Han Dynasty, the better. In 44 BC, Kangzhou in the west came to ask for help and wanted to unite with the Huns from the north to attack Wusun. Taking this as an opportunity, he led the Northern Huns to live in the eastern part of Kangzhou. Fearing the pursuit of the Han army, they fled all the way. Many parts of the headquarters were frozen to death. Only more than 3,000 people were left at the destination, and their strength was greatly weakened. However, when he arrived in a comfortable place, far away from the Han Dynasty, Zhixuan immediately became active. He is fierce and aggressive. On one occasion, he attacked Wusun several times and even went deep into Guchi City, killing people and driving livestock, and ran rampant in the Western Region for a period of time. The Han Dynasty sent envoys to Kangzhou three times to search for the bodies of Ji Gu and others. Not only did he refuse to give it, he also flirted with them and said: "The life here is too terrible. I want to go to your Dahan Dynasty. I want to use my son as a hostage again."

I dare to challenge This is because Zhizhi has two magic weapons to protect itself: First, the geographical distance advantage. Thousands of miles apart from the Han Dynasty, the geographical difference is huge.

Its changes came at the cost of many of its subordinates freezing to death on the road. The Han Dynasty did not necessarily have the courage to expedition to the Western Regions; the second was the high-speed mobility of the Xiongnu nomads. Northern nomadic peoples like the Xiongnu have been focusing on animal husbandry since ancient times. They rode horses to herd every day and rode them very skillfully. They marched forward bravely in the battle, attacked like sharp arrows, and retreated quickly after failure. They come and go like the wind, carried by the wind. Their mobility advantage is far inferior to that of the Western Han soldiers under the farming civilization of the Central Plains. Chao Cuo, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, once said: "[The Huns] are tired after wind and rain, but hungry but not sleepy. They are comparable to the Chinese."

Throughout ancient Chinese history, the natural mobility of nomadic people has almost become a mystery. The Sword of Damocles stood over the heads of the Central Plains dynasties: the Han had the Huns, the Tang had the Turks, the Song had the Liao and the Jin. After thousands of years of war between China and Hungary, the northern nomadic Mongols have risen again. They roared out of the Mobei grassland and occupied the entire China. Their soldiers were still facing west and north, "the sky was shining brightly, watching the fireworks in the distance, and they were camping for thousands of miles." They occupied the prickly Khwarezm in the west, flattened Russia, and swept across Eurasia in one breath until they drank horses on the Danube River in Europe, giving full play to the mobility of nomads.

Relying on their natural mobility advantages, the Huns in the north had no chance of winning when the armies of the Far Han Dynasty mobilized into the Western Regions. They probably escaped without a trace. Therefore, in the mind of Zhizhi Khan, you cannot pose a real threat to me in the military of the Han Dynasty, so why should I be afraid of you? Send an envoy to peace talks - just kidding! If you can't get it back from the battlefield, how can you get it back at the negotiation table? It is true that Zhizhihan's little calculation was indeed good, but he ignored one thing: couldn't the Dahan Dynasty, which was once a gathering of stars, produce a famous general?

There is power in correction.

Shang Chen, a famous generation, appeared at this time. He is neither an aristocratic general like Wei Qing or Huo Qubing, nor a prominent military officer like Li Guang and Li Ling. He is just an ordinary citizen in Yangshan Canshan. His ancestors were not qualified to attack. They must work hard with their own diligence and courage. According to historical records, when Chen Tang was young, he was fond of reading, knowledgeable, and wrote first-hand articles. However, due to his poor family background, he often borrowed money from others and occasionally failed to repay debts, which made his compatriots look down on him. During his tenure in Chang'an, Marquis Fu took a fancy to his talents and was recommended to him in the second year of Yuan Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Shang Chen’s father passed away suddenly while waiting for work arrangements. He longed to become an official, but he did not go home to attend the funeral as usual. He was prosecuted for being unfilial, investigated by Li Si, and sentenced to a small amount of fixed-term imprisonment. He was finally released from prison. Because of his true talent and learning, he was later recommended as an Alang official. However, Shang Chen, who had suffered a lot, did not regard this as his own foot. According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, becoming a customs official only meant entering the officialdom and did not guarantee promotion. The only way for a humble person to change his destiny is to make contributions to the frontier fortress, so Chen Tang took the initiative to ask for the frontier fortress many times. It was not until 36 BC that he was finally appointed as the governor of the Western Regions. Together with Gan Yanshou, he was assigned to the Western Regions and became the Protectorate of the Western Regions. When his career was not going well, he finally had the opportunity to make a difference.

It must be pointed out that from 42 BC to 36 BC, apart from diplomatic negotiations, the Han Dynasty never showed any determination to resist the demise of Jigu. Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang accepted the task of guarding the normal defense of the Western Regions and led only a imperial guard army instead of the Dahan Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army.

Those who do not understand geography are not generals. On the way to the capital of the Western Regions, Chen Tang had to look up and observe the terrain every time he passed the mountains and rivers of the city. After Gan and Chen arrived in the city, they came into contact with first-hand information about the Northern Xiongnu: Zhi Zeng had established a foothold in Kangzhou, and because he was expelled by Wusun, he became more arrogant and killed hundreds of Kangzhou King's daughters; he forced Kangju to To build Khan City for him, he recruited more than 500 coolies every day, which took two years to complete; he also blackmailed Dawan and other countries into paying tribute every year. His sphere of influence was controlled to be thousands of miles wide and gradually became larger.

After learning about these situations, Chen Tang felt that the situation was not optimistic: after Zhizhi fled to a place of comfort, although there were no more beacons on the border of the Han Dynasty, the order in the Western Regions established since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to face challenges. The countries in the Western Regions were unable to resist Zhizhi's atrocities, and they all asked the Han court: If Jigu's death is not conclusive, if the Northern Huns continue to grow and develop in the Western Regions, will they join the Han Dynasty or submit to Zhizhi? In this way, the prestige of the Dahan Dynasty in the Western Regions, which was managed with great efforts by Iron Sword and Iron Soldier, will be questioned. Therefore, Chen Tang felt deeply anxious and secretly made up his mind to attack the tiger first instead of fighting early.

Easier said than done. In the past, General Li Guangli of the Second Division led tens of thousands of troops in his first expedition to Dawan, but he was still defeated and returned

So Chen Tang, who had just become the governor of the Western Regions, told Gan Yanshou: "Zhi Zhi is violent and warlike, colluding with his comfortable life, constantly invading neighboring countries, and trying to annex Wusong and Dawan. Once these two countries are conquered, all the kingdoms in the Western Region will be threatened within a few years. Long-term appeasement, knowing "We will suffer greatly from the Western Regions." Since we don't have a strong city and a strong bow, we can't hold on. How about we mobilize soldiers from the border and people from all over the Western Regions to attack the city at once. You and I can achieve a thousand achievements in one day." In short, the gains and losses, strategies and tactics are very clear. No wonder the history books say that Chen Tang was "brave but worried, resourceful and happy".

Gan Yanshou "agreed" to this.

But as a veteran of Kansai, he knew that he was only a front-line official stationed by the imperial court in the Western Regions and had no right to decide on foreign wars. It could only be decided by the imperial court. Shangchen Fighter is constantly changing and should not be missed. Central officials were far away from the front line, and the enemy's situation was unknown. Therefore, he must act decisively and go back to the past. But Gan Yanshou was not sure and "hesitated and refused to listen." When the first officer disagreed, Shang Chen, as the deputy, even if he planned the war perfectly, it could only be a piece of paper.

Coincidentally, God gave Chen Tang an opportunity: Gan Yanshou suddenly fell ill, and the illness lasted for a long time. The first officer lay on the bed for a long time, so the deputy captain Chen Tang naturally had to replace the director. Facts have proved that he made full use of this opportunity. Not only did he forge the imperial edict of the Han Dynasty in the name of Du Fu, he also assembled the Han army in Chaishi and summoned all countries in the Western Regions to issue recruitment orders. As soon as I heard that I was going to conquer Zhizhi, 15 Western countries sent troops to help, including Sun Wu who was repeatedly attacked by Zhizhi Khan.

When the troops were gathering to launch troops, Gan Yanshou, who was bedridden, immediately "climbed" out of his bed and tried to stop the action. Troops were dispatched in a hurry, and the "multinational forces" composed of Han and West China had been assembled, and there was no turning back. At this moment, Chen Tang became furious, drew his sword out of its sheath, and warned Qian Yanshou sternly: "The army has gathered. Do you want to dissuade them?" Although history books say that Gan Yanshou was a brave and powerful man, at this time he could only " "From", so he got on Chen Tang's chariot.

Gan and Chen jointly sent people back to Chang'an to report the crime of "self-destruction" to the emperor, and at the same time "proclaimed themselves as soldiers"; he led Hu Han's 40,000 troops to march westward. In this way, the Han Dynasty's military machine, which had not been touched for many years, was finally restarted in the hands of an unknown little man, Shang Chen.

Attack 3,000 Miles

Many people in later generations called Shang Chen a "gambler" because he sent out troops with a letter. In fact, military operations are often accompanied by high risks. The key is whether the risks can be weighed against values. From the perspective of military science, Chen Tang's exploration and exploration have merits:

First, shorten the distance. Compared with the long-distance geographical advantage of the Han Dynasty, Kangju was the natural advantage that Zhizhi relied on for its survival. However, in the face of Chen Tang's unexpected decision to send troops, this advantage was greatly reduced: the distance from Li Ao to Kangzhou was shortened by more than half than the distance from Chang'an to Kangzhou, making it possible to quickly attack the Northern Huns and greatly improving the success rate of the campaign. .

Second, seize the opportunity. There is a saying: "The surprise is the surprise." The victory of this military family cannot be passed down first. "Shang Chen's biggest chance of winning a long-range raid is that Zhizhihan doesn't believe that the Han Dynasty will send troops all the way to defeat him. As long as we seize this opportunity in time and take advantage of the opponent's psychological surprise, the front of the troops will be pointed directly at its gate, and the Northern Huns will be nomadic The nation's mobility advantage is lost. I'm afraid it's too late to escape.

Thirdly, people are living in war. The "multinational troops" received are either the Putian Han Army or the Xiliang Army. . Their understanding of the geographical route of the Northern Expedition and

At the same time, the more than 40,000 Han Hu soldiers not only formed the enemy's numerical advantage, but also formed the political advantage of the "Han Dynasty", which is justifiable behind this winning factor. , was the successful system of clearing the land and protecting the West in the Western Han Dynasty, which provided the best manpower allocation for the Han army's expedition. Yi Ji said that Chen and Tang gave full play to the advantages of their system: combining peacetime and wartime, and dispatching troops nearby, which was completely unexpected.

In the winter of 36 BC, eight years after killing the Han envoys and fleeing to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Western Region Protectorate, riding Qian Yanshou and deputy captain Chen Tang, ordered 40,000 Han people. Hu Dajun advanced into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The army was divided into six columns, three of which passed through Congling and Dawan Kingdom along the south road; the other three columns passed through Chigu City, the capital of Wusong Kingdom, and entered the border of Kangju Kingdom from the north. Advancing to the west bank of Chichang, he defeated the marauding enemies along the way, calmed the frightened small country, and inquired about the true and false status of his opponents. After entering the eastern border of Kangzhou, Chen Tang showed very mature wartime political work experience: strict discipline and no looting. , formed an alliance with the local leaders of Kangzhou, and their prestige increased greatly. The local Kangju people were very dissatisfied with Zhizhi's barbaric behavior, and told Chen Tang the true situation of the Huns in the city. Under the guidance of the comfortable life, the Han-Hu coalition forces. Camped 30 miles away from Khan City.

When Chen Tang's "multinational troops" descended from the sky, Zhizhihan seemed to be still in the dark. His confusion, confusion, and confusion were all related to him. Facing the army, he sent someone to ask: "What are the Han soldiers doing here?" Han Jun's answer was very interesting: "You once wrote that you were in a difficult situation and were willing to surrender to the powerful Han army and enter Hajj." The emperor took pity on the safety of your country and sent the governor to pick you up. "In this way, the two sides asked and answered questions and agreed on several diplomatic terms. Finally, the Chinese side became impatient and issued an ultimatum: "Our soldiers still have a long way to go, and they have few people and little food. Tell your ministers and ministers to come up with an idea quickly. "The smell of war finally filled the air.

The war officially opened. The Allied forces advanced to the banks of the Durai River and camped three miles away from the enemy city. The five-color flags of Khan City were seen fluttering in the wind. , hundreds of people were fully armed to guard the city, hundreds of people were galloping along the city on horseback, and hundreds of infantry were lined up like fish at the gate of the city, practicing exercises to show their strength. The defenders in the city loudly challenged the coalition forces: "Come if you have the ability." ! "Facing the situation of Zhizhi Khan's suspicious troops, the Han-Hu coalition forces commanded by Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang stood ready and responded calmly.

When hundreds of Tarkans attacked the Han army's camp, the sergeants of the Han army's camp "held crossbows full of fingers" and the enemy cavalry quickly retreated. Later, the strong archers of the Han army came out of the camp and shot down the Hun infantry and cavalry who were practicing outside the city gate. The attackers immediately lost confidence and retreated into the city, closing the gates.

Monk Gan Yanshou saw that the enemy was timid in the morning and ordered a general attack. With the sound of drums shaking the sky, the Allied troops began to attack, and bows and arrows rained down on the towers. Khan City is an earth city with two solid wooden cities outside. The Huns resisted tenaciously, shooting arrows from Mucheng Pavilion, and launched a fierce confrontation with the Allies. At this moment, Zhizhi, as a trapped beast, personally directed the battle on the tower. Dozens of his wives and concubines also fought back with bows and arrows, stopping the Allied attack.

The battlefield advantage of forty thousand versus three thousand is very obvious. Even if you go to the battlefield alone, it will not bring any improvement to the battle. Under the rain of Allied forces, the Huns defenders were gradually suppressed and unable to gain a foothold. Zhizhihan was also shot in the nose by an arrow and was forced to retreat into the city. Many of his wives and concubines were killed by arrows. The Huns garrison in Mucheng was defeated, and the Allies took the opportunity to set fire to Mucheng. After

midnight, the wooden city was completely destroyed. The Huns defenders retreated to the earth city to defend themselves. The coalition forces broke through the city in front of them. Both sides have entered a critical moment in the war. At this moment, more than 10,000 comfortable cavalry suddenly appeared on the battlefield. They were divided into more than 10 groups, each with more than 1,000 people. The Mercedes-Benz roared, echoing the Hun garrison in the city, forming a counter-encirclement posture against the Han army, and launched an attack on the Allied positions in the dark. The Allied forces caught in the offensive and defensive order were in good order, and their position remained unchanged in the face of repeated attacks by the comfortable cavalry.

At dawn, the city of Khan was on fire from all sides. The morale of the Allied forces was greatly boosted, and they shouted into the city, beating the gongs and drums, and shouting to fight. The Han army raised their shields, piled earth, and broke into the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, Kang Jubing outside the city fled quickly. Zhizhihan couldn't bear it anymore. He led hundreds of people to fight and then retreat, fighting in the palace. With the help of artillery fire, the Han army attacked bravely and killed Zhizhi Khan in one fell swoop, successfully beheading him. In this war, under the rule of the Yan family, Prince Edward and Wang Ming, more than 1,500 people were killed, 145 people were captured, and more than 100 people surrendered.

In the first month of 35 BC, the leader of the Northern Xiongnu Chanyu was sent to Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty. Jigu and others closed their eyes and rested in Jiuquan.

Unexpected events

Winning the battle to destroy Zhizhi from Shangchen seems too easy. A simple long-range attack and less than two days of offensive and defensive battles easily captured the city. This was almost a one-sided battle without any suspense. But the seemingly easy victory was no accident. In addition to the military surprise caused by Chen and Tang's long-range attack, it was also caused by the contrast in strength between China and Hungary.

First of all, the strategic situation has undergone tremendous changes. At that time, when Mao Dun Khan was in power, he defeated the Eastern Hu people and the Westerners month by month. In the south, he joined Lou Fan and Bo Yang. In the north, he served Hunhe, Qushe, Dingling, Kuaikun, Li Qian, Dingloulan, Wusun, Hujie and the 26 countries around him, unified the north and south of the desert, and controlled 300,000 strings. From Han Emperor Liu Bang to Emperor Wenjing, after decades of ups and downs, the Dahan Dynasty placed all power in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After decades of Sino-Hungarian war, the strategic situation began to completely reverse.

When the battle turned to the stars, Zhizhi could no longer keep up with the times. Over the years, the Xiongnu lost strategic places such as Hetao, Longxi, and Liangzhou. "The death of color makes women colorless." With the Han Dynasty's strategy of colonizing and immigrating, opening up wasteland, and transporting grain to the Western Regions, the Xiongnu's activities in the air became smaller and smaller, and at best they could only make trouble in small countries. Compared with the Dahan Dynasty that had just experienced the "Zhao Xuan ZTE", this is undoubtedly a small thing. As the Xiongnu minister at that time said, "The Han Dynasty sometimes prospered, and all the countries in Wusun City were ministers and concubines." The Huns were killed every day and could not recover. Although Qujiang was like this, he never had a day of peace. Today, Han is safe. If not, it's dangerous. Why are you passing this! "This is the situation. The situation is stronger than the people. No Xiongnu can change the disparity in strategic situation.

Secondly, the gap in military strength is obvious. The battle of Mie Zhizhihan was not only a heroic act by Chen Tang in single combat, but It was also a practical test of the military strength that the nomads of the Dahan Dynasty had gradually established and improved in recent decades.

In the war with the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty learned and changed while fighting. , horseback riding, and walking arms have been continuously adjusted and reorganized. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the cavalry has developed rapidly. In the Battle of Mobei in the spring of 119 BC, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing alone had 140,000 horses. In the end, the Han army's cavalry completed the battle. The transformation of strategic arms became the first main force of the Han army, which enabled the Han army to respond to the enemy's maneuvers in a mobile way. It could not only attack from a distance, but also detour, outflank, divide troops, and encircle and annihilate, thus winning the initiative on the battlefield. status, greatly improving the lethality and mobility.

In addition, the Han army attached great importance to the joint operations of cavalry and infantry. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought in Weiqing, he used Wugang chariots as a defensive camp and led five troops at the same time. Thousands of troops attacked the Huns. Based on the continuous accumulation of actual combat experience, the Han army formed a set of enemy-defeating tactics such as cavalry field attack, infantry hard attack, and chariot defense. In the battle to annihilate Zhizhi, the coordinated combat mode was gradually improved. It is precisely because of the strong military strength of the Han army, the coordinated operations of all military services, and the combination of offense and defense that the more than 10,000 cavalry have nothing to do with the tightly defended coalition positions under the leadership of the Han army. What's more, the length of the Han army's weapons and equipment is far less than that of the nomads. nationality.

The Huns, on the other hand, are always good at attacking but lacking in defense. Defense has never been the Nomad's strong suit, and its inherent mobility advantage is useless. Zhizhi Khan's biggest tactical mistake was to maintain unity with the city when the Han and Hu coalition forces were outnumbered by more than 40,000 people, so that they could turn the land into a prison and hit the stone with an egg. As a result, Shanyu City, which took two years to build, fell under the fierce day and night attacks of the Han army.

Napoleon said: "God always fights on the side of material power." Facts have proved that in the face of highly organized armed forces based on agricultural civilization, nomadic peoples who have not completed refined division of labor basically have no Odds. Facing the military system of the Han Dynasty, with its offensive and defensive weapons and equipment, and the well-coordinated combination of arms, how could we be defeated without delay? From another perspective, in the battle to annihilate Zhi, the Han army made reasonable use of its own advantages. Long-range surprise attacks were very expensive, and the siege was carried out cleanly. The whole battle was like thunder, lightning fast and unstoppable. They achieved a beautiful victory and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu both militarily and psychologically.

After Zhizhi fell into the Zhu Mansion, Huhan Xie Shanyu, the Huns in the south, was both happy and afraid——. He was glad that his enemies had been eliminated, but he was also afraid of the powerful Han army. Therefore, he performed the third pilgrimage in disguise, expressing his "willingness to stay in the north of Sapporo and become a prince in a few years." This triggered the famous "Zhaojun's departure from the fortress". The fate of the southern Xiongnu was completely linked to the Dahan Dynasty, and the northern border disputes since the Qin and Han Dynasties were suddenly lifted. Even when Wang Mang carried out his reforms and the world was in chaos, the Xiongnu could not take advantage. Liu Xiangyue, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, said: "Taking the west of Kunshan and Shanxi will wipe out the shame of Jigu and make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. We are not afraid of earthquakes." Since Shang Chen won a strategic victory in a battle, he has become famous all over the world. Now, people talk about it a lot. This is a famous article sent by Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang to Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty after the great victory: "Zhizhi is only responsible for the people, and disaster is imminent." I will extend my life, I will fight for my soldiers, and I will be wise after the fact. I rely on Your Majesty's Yin and Yang to take the lead in defeating the enemy. I will chop off my head, below the famous king. It is wise to bow your head among the barbarians to show that you are thousands of miles away. Those who commit Han crimes will definitely be punished! "His words were full of emotion.

The famous general Chen Tang only had one battle in his life, but the First World War successfully ended the decades-long Sino-Hungarian War and won long-term border peace for the motherland. - I can What to ask for? So, no matter how bumpy Chen Tang's fate was later, his courage, strategy and talent were like a shining star, shining at the moment of victory, forever fixed in that night more than two thousand years ago. , on the banks of the Talas River in Central Asia.

This is exactly what happened:

Han troops guard the border and cannot be taken lightly on the battlefield.

Thousands of miles away. , hitting the place where the head was beheaded, sealing the throat with a sword, shocking the world.
