The great man will live forever

Chapter 118: Defeat South Vietnam (Eight Situation Reversal)

In the royal court of the Huns, Uwe Chanyu sat in the big tent. Two years ago, Yi Zhixie Chanyu died. He inherited the Chanyu's position and was Yi Zhixie's eldest son.

He is about 38 years old, has black hair and dark eyes, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets and a broad chin, a thick and long beard, a tall build and a strong build.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Report to Shanyu that the people who went to contact the Qiang people came back, and they agreed."

"Haha, I can finally take revenge. Just agree to it. Send me an order to have the Zuo Dadu Lieutenant Qie Tuanhou and the second king Zhao Xin lead [-] cavalry to attack Wuyuan."

Uwe Shanyu laughed loudly, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.
……

In the fifth year of Yuanding reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (112 BC), October [-]th,
"Get out, get out."

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace, a soldier ran quickly with a bamboo roll in his hand,

"Frontline military report!"

"Frontline military report!"

He ran so fast that no one dared to stop him, and the officials in the middle quickly gave way to him.

In the palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was drinking tea, and his servant Huo Guang opened the bamboo slips and started reading. Dongfang Shuo was old, and Huo Guang gradually took his place.

"In the military report, Li Xicheng reported to His Majesty that Xianling, Zhongqiang, Wudu, Dangjian, Lejie, and Shen's Qiang allied themselves with the Xiongnu. They combined more than [-] troops to attack Lingju and Angu, and then surrounded them. Paohan, the Huns also sent troops into Wuyuan to kill the prefect."

"Snapped!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smashed the bowl and said, "Have I treated the Qiang people too well these past years? They even formed an alliance with the Xiongnu again? Do they want to annihilate their race?"

"While I am attacking South Vietnam, okay, everyone has jumped out. Since they dare to come, then fight. Pass my order and send Chen Xi, Tianshui, the stability knights and lieutenants, and 10 soldiers from Henan and Hanoi. General Li Xi and Lang Zhong ordered Xu Zi to be the general and attack him with 10 soldiers."

Li Xi joined the army at a young age and served Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he served as a general many times, leading troops to conquer the Huns, guarding border towns, and being granted the title of Marquis in Guan Nei for his military merits.

"promise!"

At that time, when the Qin Dynasty fell and the Han Dynasty was rising, the Xiongnu Maodun Chanyu took advantage of the war in the Central Plains and had no time to take into account the opportunities of border defense in the west and north, and successively conquered the surrounding ethnic groups.

"The king of Donghu was greatly destroyed, and his people and livestock were destroyed." After defeating the powerful Donghu nation, he "attacked the Yueshi in the west, and merged with Loufan and Baiyang King of Henan in the south."

At this point, the Xiongnu recovered the land south of the Yellow River that Meng Kuo had taken from them during the Qin Dynasty. The border fortress between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu returned to the old boundary before Qin. The Xiongnu even sent troops to invade the lands of Yan and Dai.

But at that time, "the Han soldiers were far away from Xiang Yu, and China was at war." The Xiongnu took the opportunity to leap into a powerful slave state with "more than [-] people in control" in the northern part of the Central Plains.

At that time, the Qiang people surrendered to the Xiongnu, and the Western Han government regarded the Western Qiang as the "right arm of the Xiongnu."

The Xiongnu not only controlled the Xiqiang who fished in the river, but Xianbei and Wuhuan in the northeast of the Western Han Dynasty were also under the rule of the Xiongnu. This formed a situation where the Xiongnu attacked the Western Han Dynasty from three sides from the northeast to the northwest.

At that time, the Western Han Dynasty, under the threat of the Xiongnu, could only send princesses to get married, passive defense, and extremely frustrating.

As powerful as Liu Bang, he rose from the grassroots to defeat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and ruled the world. He also killed various kings with different surnames, so he had to "make Liu Jing worship the princess of the clan as the Shanyulan clan, and serve the Xiongnu every year with plenty of wine, rice and food" . We made an agreement to make peace with our brother Qiang, and Mao Dun was the only one who stopped."
At that time, the Qiang people often joined forces with the Xiongnu to invade the border areas, posing a serious threat to the northwest border counties of the Western Han Dynasty.On the one hand, in order to concentrate on dealing with the powerful Xiongnu, and on the other hand, in order to break up the Qiang-Hungarian alliance, the Xinu dynasty had no choice but to adopt a gentle and gentle attitude towards the Western Qiang.

During this period, the area where the Xiqiang lived was in the southern part of the Hexi Corridor, mainly in what is now southern Gansu, central Qinghai, and northwestern Sichuan.

In order to isolate the Qiang and Hu, prevent communication between the north and the south, completely cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu, and connect the Western Regions, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Huo Qubing and Liu Han to launch the famous Battle of Hexi.

In this battle, from the annihilation of the Pu tribe to the mopping up of the three tribes of Qiemo, Dangtian and Tuge, and then to the defeat of the Hunxie King, the 19-year-old Husband General Huo Qubing and the 17-year-old Liu Han, everything was like a storm. Six days, five countries were defeated in six days...

Then he crossed the desert, spanning two thousand miles, defeated King Hunxie, killed King Xiutu, forced King Hunxie to surrender, and completed control of the Hexi Corridor.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately established the four counties of Jiuquan, Wuwei, Zhangpi and Dunhuang in the Hexi Corridor. The four counties were lined up along the Qilian Mountains and were all located on the main transportation routes of the Hexi Corridor.

The Han Dynasty directly extended its rule to the main areas where the Qiang people lived, so that they could monitor the movements of the Qiang people at all times to prevent the Qiang and Hu from colluding with the border troops. It also broke the right arm of the Xiongnu and opened up the passage to the Western Regions. , directly reversed the unfavorable situation against the Huns.

The establishment of the Western Han Dynasty's rule in the Hexi region was a huge loss and blow to the Xiongnu nobles and Qiang powerful people. Therefore, the two have been secretly exchanging news and waiting for opportunities to join forces in rebellion.However, the Han Dynasty was too powerful and they never had a chance, but the South Vietnam War made them seem to see an opportunity.

"Another order, grant Gongsun He the title of General Fuju, lead 5000 cavalry, and attack the Xiongnu from Wuyuan County."

It is worth mentioning that Gongsun He was always regarded as the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but his Marquis Nanyuan was no longer available because of the loss of the Marquis. Good guy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's black justice was quite powerful. Anyone could do it except himself. My brother-in-law also did it. If he hadn't seen Wei Qing seriously ill and donated part of his family property, he might have done it too.

This time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obviously gave him a chance. If he performed meritorious service, the title would come back.

"promise!"

……

Here, Liu Han, who was far away in Xishu, also got the news. He was originally happy that Dian Kingdom and Yelang Kingdom knew each other, but his face suddenly became flattered.

"The Huns and Qiang people are taking advantage of the situation to rob them. Your Majesty has sent another [-] troops, or even [-] cavalry. Can the national treasury bear the burden?"

Shu Yuzhu sighed: "What can we do if we can't bear it? South Vietnam is bound to be attacked."

"You really don't know the details of this time. Why don't you look at this war in the future? I don't even have much reference."

Shu Yuzhu rolled his eyes at him, full of charm, "I'm not a god, I know everything. I'm repelled by wars. Except for the famous wars, I don't know much about them, and I don't want to see them. But I know the result. After one year The South Vietnam was pacified, and it was smooth and safe. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty basically lost few of his foreign wars."

"One year?"

"Otherwise you think? This is not the northwest, not a desert, not a grassland. It is all mountain roads, plateaus, mountains, hills and basins. It is extremely rugged and crisscrossed by rivers. Marching is a big trouble, otherwise we would have defeated it long ago."

"Yes, my [-] cavalrymen are in vain. Since the Qiang people dare to rebel, they will fight. I will immediately submit a letter to send these [-] cavalrymen northward and hand them over to the command of General Li Xi, and ask Li Gan to assist him."

Liu Han felt that fighting South Vietnam was not a big problem, and the cavalry was of little use. There were many waterways and rugged mountain roads in the south, so the advantage of the cavalry was very small.

At this time, Liu Han only had 3 people in his hands. Fortunately, he also had 3500 people from Yelang Kingdom, which was better than nothing.

The march went smoothly, but when we were about to arrive at Qielan Country, something unexpected happened.

"Report, general, that Lord Qielan has rebelled in Naxia, killed the envoy and the governor of Jianwei, and occupied Duyun."

"What?" Liu Han was speechless. I didn't even care about you, so you turned against me?For a small country like yours, it would be good to have only five thousand troops. Didn't you see that both Dian and Yelang were lying down obediently?Are you still here to make trouble? Is it because the old man took arsenic because he thought his death was too slow?

"Huayang Guozhi Nanzhong Zhi" records: "The Han Qilan Kingdom is located in Laohuangping, west of Huangping County, Guizhou today. It is the largest lake plain in eastern Guizhou. Agricultural development was the earliest in the eastern Guizhou region, so it was already possible in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was built to be the king of Qielan."

It is located in Huangping County, the hinterland of Miaoling Mountains on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The mountains within the territory stretch vertically and horizontally, with undulating peaks, deep canyons and dense rivers.The central Jiuzhou Basin is open and flat, with an endless [-]-acre dam. It is the gathering place of the four sources of the Wuyang River. It has a mild climate, abundant rainfall, and fertile soil.

Perhaps it was because he lived too comfortably without many threats that he became a little arrogant and arrogant, thinking that I was the best in the world, so he turned against me.

"Come here, let Fubo General Lu Bode and Zhao Yehou Zhao Ponu lead their troops to turn around, join forces in Dujun, destroy Qilan, kill the monarch Naxia, hang his head high, and tell the barbarians in the southwest that you dare to Rebels will be killed without mercy. Surrender and obey the Han, and you will be safe. I, the Han, do not kill or attack other countries at will."

At this time, Liu Han was really angry. If Qielan was not destroyed quickly, the other Qiong, Chu, Yelang, Toulan, and Dian kingdoms would all follow my example and think I was great. They would continue to be arrogant and hot-headed. , rebelled, and this battle was fought.

But that wasn't the only thing that made Liu Han angry. His troops hadn't arrived in Duyun yet, and the Toulan Kingdom near the Lan Kingdom was ready to make a move. More news came that Chu Shi Yongyuan, the king of Yelang Kingdom, had begun to act against his will.

This is not the end of the world. Originally, the East Yue King Yushan had previously submitted a letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asking for war, and sent 8000 troops to assist General Yang Pu and Yiyang Hou Weishan in attacking the South Vietnam Kingdom. However, when the army of the East Vietnam King Yushan arrived in Jieyang, they used the excuse of encountering an enemy. They stopped advancing due to the storm and secretly sent envoys to report to South Vietnam.

"He is encountering a storm and wants to watch the fire from the other side. Maybe he also wants to bite the big man. This time, I will also destroy your Dongyue Kingdom."

Liu Han was very angry. The situation was obviously very good. In the blink of an eye, the Qiang people in the northwest and the Xiongnu in the north jointly invaded. The southwest countries, including the Qielan country, directly rebelled. Several other countries were eager to try, and even the East Yue country began to refuse. Resigned.

He had a headache here, but Nanyue was naturally very happy on the other side.
