I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 529: The Han Dynasty opens its borders: defeats Dayuan, pacifies Dayue clan, and destroys the Parthian Empire!

Fifteen years, in the blink of an eye.

There is prosperity in the sea and peace in the world, but there are also galloping horses with blood flowing like rivers.

There have been no signs of the Huns in the desert for several years. Even those who are grazing on the pasture are from the right side.

The Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions have become a historical term.

In the second year of Dingxin, Han people immigrated to the border areas. In the third year of Dingxin, the land reform was completed. In the eighth year of Dingxin, 70% of the Hu people moved inland.

Today, the Western Region Protectorate governs more than 200,000 Han soldiers and civilians, and more Han people migrate here every year. The original dangerous border area has become the Western Frontier Jiangnan.

As for the powerful Cheshi Kingdom and Wusun Kingdom, their strength declined greatly after experiencing several rebellions and counterinsurgency.

In addition, the superiors gradually became Chinese and completely surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

Although both of them have not yet completed the process of converting their land back to their original state, they have been divided into five and turned into more than ten small city-states.

When the new king ascends the throne, he must be recognized by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, which is no different from the princes and kings of the Liu family.

In the southwest, the Han Dynasty also marched towards the towering Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and established the Western Qiang Protectorate following the example of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

And a large number of farming stations were built in important valley passes.

The army and civilians of the Han Dynasty gradually moved closer to the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and controlled this vast territory with special functions at the minimum cost.

At this time, the Tibetan Plateau was sparsely populated and full of small tribes. It had not yet formed a political power that could compete with the Han Dynasty. It was a good time for the Han Dynasty to expand its territory.

No one in the court understood why the emperor was so fond of this wasteland, but over the years they had understood that what the emperor saw was far better than them, so they did not stop it.

As for the Wuhuan tribes in the northeast, after the defeat of the Huns, they lost the choice between the leader and the rat, completely fell to the Han, and also began to implement the reform of their native land and return to their hometowns.

As a result, in the past fifteen years, the territory of the Han Dynasty gradually evolved into the shape of the autumn leaves of Begonia.

In addition to the continuous expansion of the territory under actual control, Dahan's expansion outside the territory has also made great new progress.

On the Eurasian continent, under the leadership of the Rangers, the Han Dynasty established a series of solid colonial strongholds - bastions - in the west of the Western Region.

When the Han Dynasty began to expand, the most powerful people west of Congling were Dayuezhi and Dawan. They became wary of the expansion of the Han Dynasty, and frictions between the two sides continued.

In the end, under the cannons, muskets, projectile rockets and bastions, the cavalry of the two countries suffered a bloody collision. They made no progress and could only watch the Han flag extend a little bit.

In addition to these artifacts, the Han cavalry also rampaged west of Congling to protect the Han soldiers and civilians.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, he also attacked Dawan several times, but he won less and lost more, lost troops and generals, and made no substantial progress.

But things are different now.

Because the Han Dynasty expelled the Huns and occupied the Western Region and Mobei, they not only had a bridgehead farther west, but also obtained high-quality pasture and a steady stream of war horses.

Dayuan and Dayuezhi are bordering the Han Dynasty, so dispatching troops to attack cannot be considered an expedition at all.

It is true that the Chinese nation is an agricultural civilization, but under the stimulation of military success, land, honor and wealth, there are many people who are willing to ride horses on the battlefield.

In the seventh year of Dingxin, the hussar general Han Zeng led 50,000 cavalrymen out of Congling. They attacked Dayuan with lightning speed, turned into Dayuezhi, and swept thousands of miles.

In the end, under the Lan City of Da Yuezhi, 100,000 allied troops from the two countries were wiped out, and more than 100 nobles of the two countries and below were killed. Lan City was renamed the New Shoujiang City.

The total number of Hu people in the two countries was more than 600,000, and they all dispersed and moved to various counties in the south of the Han Dynasty. Countless people died of illness and death along the way, and the major worries of the Han Dynasty were completely eliminated. With the destruction of Dayuezhi and Dayuan, no one within two thousand miles to the east of Congling dared to compete with the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, this is just the beginning, the Han army is pointing further west.

Every year after that, the Southern Army and the Northern Army would use the Western Region Protectorate as a springboard to attack Congling and patrol westward.

On the one hand, they surrendered the kingdoms of Kangju, Kabul, and Jiantuluo, and protected the Han army's field troops from advancing westward; on the other hand, they waited for the opportunity to attack the Parthian Empire in the west.

Finally, nine years after Dingxin, Dahan found such an opportunity.

A short-sighted slave owner in the Parthian Empire attacked the silk caravan of the Han Dynasty. The Protector of the Western Regions sent an envoy to ask the Parthian king to punish the murderer.

After receiving a large amount of bribes, King Phraates III of Parthia protected the slave owner and boldly killed the Han's envoys.

In the early autumn of that year, the hussar general Han Zeng led 40,000 Northern troops from Congling to attack the hinterland of the Parthian Empire.

On the vast Eurasian continent, the Parthian Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Han Empire were known as the three great empires.

However, the degree of development was different, especially the Parthian Empire which was far behind and still in the stage of slavery.

The Parthian Empire spanned thousands of miles, and its territory was comparable to that of the Han Dynasty, but it was more like a tribal alliance composed of different ethnic cultures.

The combat effectiveness and fighting will of the two armies are not at the same level at all.

The 40,000 Northern troops were divided into 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. The former looked for opportunities to destroy the enemy's effective forces, while the latter followed closely to attack the city.

With the support of a large number of farms and fortresses, it was like entering uninhabited territory.

In front of the Han army equipped with artillery and gunpowder, the Parthian Empire had no power to fight back. It collapsed at the first touch and was beaten to pieces.

The following year, General Wei Chang Hui led 40,000 Southern troops to attack in rotation and once again penetrated deep into the Parthian Empire.

At the turn of spring and summer in the 10th year of Dingxin, Han Zeng's troops and Chang Hui's troops united and captured a large number of cities in the central and western part of the Parthian Kingdom, aiming directly at the imperial capital of Taixi Feng.

At this time, the Roman Republic, which had long been at odds with the Parthian Empire, received the news.

Pompey, the consul of the Republic at that time, sent 100,000 troops to attack the Parthian Empire from north to south.

In the twelfth lunar month of this year, under the joint attack of the Roman Empire and the Han Empire, the Parthian Empire, a behemoth that was strong on the outside and weak on the inside, finally collapsed.

The land of the Parthian Empire was divided into two parts by the Han Empire and the Roman Empire.

However, the situation in the Near East did not turn to peace. The 80,000-strong army of the Han Empire and the 100,000-strong army of the Roman Republic formed a confrontation under the city of Ctesi.

Pompey, the consul of the Roman Republic, was so prestige in the country at this time that he forced the Han army to withdraw from the Parthian Empire and return all the cities.

This rude request was naturally rejected by Hussar General Han Zeng and Wei General Chang Hui.

Finally, the Han army and the Roman Republic army faced each other on the right bank of the Euphrates Valley, and the Battle of Ctesiphon broke out.

This battle made the Roman Republic truly realize the power of the Eastern Empire.

I also saw the power of "Dragon Roar" for the first time.
