Of course, there have been powerful countries in the Western Regions, but those powerful countries were basically established by outsiders, and the local countries have always been bullied by outsiders.
The former Dawan was founded by descendants of the Greeks, who relied on the Macedonian legacy, namely the spear army formation and the use of cavalry, to easily defeat any country in the Western Regions.
The Wusun people are actually not the natives of the Western Regions, they live around a mountain called Hun Evil Mountain near Qilian Mountain, and their leader is also called Hun Evil Mountain, but they were forced to leave Hun Evil Mountain later, and then the Huns defeated the people of the moon and occupied the entire Qilian Mountain, and sealed a Hun Evil King, causing the Wusun people to have to change the name of the leader to Kun Mo also known as Kun Mi.
Another country that can become a small power in the Western Regions is called a charioteer, the problem is that the chariot itself is not very good, because it has always been valued by the Huns, it can be regarded as a local Xiaoqiang, and the Cheshi is nothing without the Huns.
The Western Han Dynasty calculated that there were thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and there must be some countries that were not recorded, that was because the Western Regions was a messy place, where thousands of people dared to build a country, and hundreds of people dared to claim the title of king, and Zhu Xia was really not willing to record a kingdom with only a few hundred subjects.
In fact, after the Western Regions entered the Western Regions, they did not form much effective control at the beginning, and there were the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the arrangement of officials, but only a small number of troops were stationed in the Tuntian, and the countries near the Tuntian point were only radiated and controlled, and only small countries could be deterred.
Was it during the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty that the Western Regions was really tightly controlled by the Han Dynasty, or because after Chen Tang did the cause of "holding the banner of the Marquis" and "beheading the Zhi Branch", he completely shocked the countries of the Western Regions, and the Western Regions Protectorate was considered to have broken away from its empty name and became a real authority that could manage the Western Regions.
By the time of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, the Han people had lost control of the Western Regions for a time.
At that time, a chaotic war broke out among the Han people, and who would care about the Western Regions, which was thousands of miles away.
At that time, the people of the Western Regions noticed the civil strife of the Han people, and repeatedly jointly attacked the garrison of the Western Regions Protectorate, and later the Northern Xiongnu also made their debut.
The Western Regions Protectorate has not been reinforced, and the garrison of the Western Regions Protectorate is getting smaller and smaller, but the Western Regions Protectorate still held out for ten years, and only dozens of people fled back to Xiliang, and what kind of fate they had after that has not been recorded.
After the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty and the seventeen years of civil war, Liu Xiu regained the right to rule on behalf of the old Liu family, and there was no room to take care of the Western Regions at first.
In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after eight A.D., Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was busy with domestic wars and had no time to take care of the Western Regions, and the situation in the Western Regions was chaotic.
At that time, in the Western Regions, most of the countries in the northern province were attached to the Xiongnu, and the countries in the south attacked each other and fought endlessly.
The Northern Xiongnu took the opportunity to conquer the northern states of the Western Regions and Khotan, a great power in the south, and used the manpower and material resources of the Western Regions to continuously harass the borders of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In order to completely repel the attack of the Northern Xiongnu, the outer trade route, the internal security border, the Eastern Han Dynasty adopted the strategy of "razing and defeating", and from the 16th year of Emperor Yongping of the Han Ming Dynasty in 73 AD, he sent troops to the Western Regions.
In February of the 16th year of Yongping, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered Fengche Duwei Dou Gu and Geng Zhong to lead an army to defeat the Northern Xiongnu in Puzhihai and capture the strategic Yiwulu.
In order to further contact the countries of the Western Regions and isolate the Northern Xiongnu, Dou Gu sent Ban Chao and Guo Xun to lead 36 officials to the Western Regions.
Ban Chao first devoted himself to opening up the southern countries with weak control by the Xiongnu, subduing Shanshan, controlling Khotan, attacking Shule, driving out the Northern Xiongnu forces in the southern Western Regions, and making the southern countries annexed one after another.
At the same time, in order to prevent the comeback of the Northern Xiongnu, in November of the 17th year of Yongping, the Han Dynasty sent Dou Gu, the commander of the Che Du, and Geng Bing, the commander of the horses, to raise troops to the west again, breaking through the Baishan Department of the Northern Xiongnu in Pu Shihai, and defeating the front and rear of the Che Division belonging to the Northern Xiongnu, the south road was basically opened, and the east and west stations of the north road were also controlled by the Han Dynasty.
The Eastern Han Dynasty re-established the Western Regions to protect and Wu and Ji two captains.
The contention between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern Xiongnu for the Western Regions lasted from the sixteenth year of Yongping to the seventh year of the Han Dynasty until the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, that is to say, from the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty to its demise, in fact, it did not completely control the Western Regions.
Later, the princes fought chaotically, that is, Cao Wei sent troops to the Western Regions after the world was divided into three, but in fact, it was only a small area to the east of the Western Regions that was re-controlled, and the rest of the places were powerless.
After the return of the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty, the Sima family received Cao Wei's control of the Western Regions, and Cao Wei did not control the area and did not belong to the Western Jin Dynasty.
Sima's family made the "Yongjia Rebellion" by themselves, and the Western Regions were completely lost under the fight of life and death, and the Shenzhou land sank later, and the Central Plains were also lost to Hu Lu, and they went to "Dress South".
"Therefore, we are the first batch of Han Chinese to re-enter the Western Regions after a lapse of thirty-nine years."
"I'm afraid the first batch of Han people may not be, the year of the army is far more than thirty-nine years, it may be more than seventy years."
There is no problem, the Sima family established the Western Jin Dynasty, and they can't take care of the Central Plains that have been completely destroyed, so how can they have any spare time to take care of the Western Regions, and there is really no garrison in the Western Regions behind.
There will be unofficial Han Chinese to the Western Regions, but the army has never been sent.
Liu Rui squinted his eyes and looked at the map of mountains and rivers hanging on the side of the military tent, there were oil lamps burning in the tent, and the light was not very enough, and the map of mountains and rivers could only be seen as an outline.
The Western Regions are very large, and in terms of area, they are larger than the entire Central Plains.
The reason why Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was able to capitalize and write close-ups in the history books is because he completed the control of the Western Regions in his generation, and Chen Tang had to be mentioned when talking about the Western Regions.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was the same, during his reign he regained control of the Western Regions for the Han family, and some executors such as Dou Xian, Dou Gu, Geng Bing, Ban Gu, Ban Chao, Guo Xian, etc., also left a heavy mark in the history books.
"I'll wait" Liu Rui looked at Fan Jin, and said with longing: "I should also leave a name in history" It's very fine, as an army general who entered the Western Regions for the first time after a lapse of several decades, if he really recaptured the Western Regions, he would leave his name in the history books no matter what, the difference is that he was replaced by a stroke, or he did something great and was written down.
"You don't see, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying; You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle cloud" Fan Jin sang a paragraph: "With today's endorsement, the great cause of the final army and Banchao, who doesn't want to" Liu Yan's song is not suitable, only the one with ancient meaning, before he crossed my regiment commander and my regiment was on the air, and when he heard that song, he was immediately attracted, so he changed it to his own wrong military song.
There are a lot of military songs of the Han army, the above one is the strangest song, and the other military songs are basically taken from the Book of Poetry, such as Qin Feng Wuyi, Qin Feng Xiaorong, and Qin Feng Pujia have also become military songs, they are all part of the national style.
Many poems in the national style of the Book of Poetry are actually military songs, without clothes and martial arts, Xiaorong is affectionate, and the artistic conception of Pujia is far-reaching, and it is also handed down after the first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, and the rest are either inappropriate or simply fragments.
Counting up, the poetry of the national style Qin Feng Wuyi is definitely the most sung one, the background is that Zhou Tianzi encountered Yidi to break through the country and had to flee, the Qin people responded to the call to send troops to the king of Qin, at that time the Qin people were singing Wuyi defeated Yidi, and protected Zhou Tianzi to Luoyi is Luoyang.
Under the premise that the Qin people could not even guarantee their basic life, in order to respond to the Qinwang guys, many people actually did not even have clothes, and then it was created in order to express the same hatred and hatred, and the reality at the time was used as the background.
After the fall of the Qin Empire, the poetry of other national styles is basically no longer used as a military song, and the unique Wuyi has always been inherited, and the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Two Jin Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty all have Wuyi as a military song.
The final army of the Western Han Dynasty was not famous in later generations, in fact, when Liu Yan heard the lyrics, he knew who Ban Dingyuan was, but he was very unfamiliar with the final army, and only after checking it did he know that the final army was a diplomat and politician in the Liu Che period, and had successively sent envoys to the Xiongnu and South Vietnam, but before the Western Han Dynasty was about to start a war against South Vietnam, he was killed by South Vietnamese Prime Minister Lu Jia, and he was only twenty-one years old when he died.
Reverence for the final army is that he is young and useful to the country, meritorious, and a person who dares to take responsibility in case of trouble, and the simple description is that he has the spirit and courage of "please Ying".
The troops have been stationed in the camp, the sentry posts that should be arranged, what happened and what to deal with, everything has been done, as the front-line commander Liu Rui and the army commander Shi Fanjin, can have time to talk about the past and look forward to the future.
Since he came to fight in the Western Regions, he must know more about the Western Regions.
At least Liu Rui already knew that Shanshan was the country in the Western Regions that was most deeply influenced by the Han family, and there were some tribes such as Shule, Yuli, Weisu, and Mo that could fight for it.

"Pull a batch and fight a batch, the Han people's conquest of the Western Regions has always been like this."
Fan Jin needs to do more homework: "The coalition army sent troops to attack, and more than 1,000 people found two or three hundred Shanshan people. ” Chi Zhelu led the army out, and the Han army, which had been closely monitored, naturally had intelligence feedback, and not long after they left the camp, Liu Rui got the information here.
Shanshan people are too close to the Han family, and they are the first Western Regions country to approach the Han people in the Western Han Dynasty.
Hundreds of years passed, Shanshan changed from Loulan to its current name, and it was not until the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Han officers helped Shanshan train the army, resulting in Shanshan's army having a clear Zhuxia style.
The passage of time has made Shanshan forget a lot, and the style of saying is in service, they are one of the few people with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the Western Regions, no matter how poor they are, they will form a unified color of the army's uniforms, and they have always been red as the main tone, which is naturally very recognizable.
"It's better for them to attack the camp tonight."
Liu Rui's armor did not take off, and a third of the soldiers in the camp were kept awake in three shifts, and the outer camps were even deliberately air-raided: "Let them come, but they can't get out." ” Fan Jin smiled reservedly, but judging from his appearance, he was also looking forward to it.
Tonight is the Crescent Field, and the sky is starry without clouds, but the light provided is very limited.
The wind was blowing the grass, and the blades of grass rubbed against each other to make a "huh" sound, and only a lonely tree could be seen in a wide area, its branches swaying in the wind, and in the dark night it seemed like a monster with its teeth and claws.
Standing beside a low tree with the reins in his hand, he looked at it from a distance, and saw a huge camp, with bonfires arranged every fifty meters or so around the perimeter of the fence, and then inside there were braziers made of wood every ten meters or so, and he could see the tents arranged in an orderly manner, and he could also see the patrols that passed by every few moments.
Standing next to him were Agapa and Labadei, both of whom were also holding the reins of their mounts.
Behind a low hill pack not far behind them, dozens of horsemen dismounted and waited quietly.
"Search all the countries in the Western Regions, and no one can do this like the Han people."
Chi Zhelu said that there is a scientific construction of the camp, such as how the fence should be arranged, and the tent is so neat, the reasonable arrangement of the fence and the tent is actually a line of defense in the camp, and the huge camp itself is also a formation.
"How can it be compared."
Agapa smiled bitterly and said: "If you are a small country and a widow, you can't learn even if you want to." ” Labadi was silent, he was called a Sogdian in the Western Regions, when in fact the correct ethnic name was the Serbs.
The Serbs were currently under the rule of the Persians, and Labadi did not grow up in the Western Regions, but waited for adulthood before coming to the Western Regions.
He had seen the Persian Sassanid army, and he had the privilege of meeting the Roman army, and he had his own score for judging.
"There is indeed no country in the Western Regions that can do this."
Labadi was silent for a moment, and then said with some emotion: "Even Sassanid can't do it."
I used to think that Rome was the most powerful country, but now I might add Han. ” Chi Zhelu casually asked, "Do you want to test it?"
Agapa was silent.
Labadi laughed a few times and said, "I refuse to let my men go to test such a camp." ” There was a bonfire on the periphery of the Han camp, which obviously provided enough light to see, and there was no way to get close to the camp if they attacked.
With such an arrangement, there is no reason that there will not be crossbowmen on duty at night, even if the cavalry impact speed is fast, at least three waves of arrow rain will be encountered in advance, and it is still unknown whether they can break through the fence.
Chizheru looked at Agapa and said with a smile, "What about you?"
Agapa was hesitant, he had already tested Chizheru a little before, and there were expectations and apprehensions in his heart.
The expectation is that Chi Zhelu and himself want to stand on the side of the Han people, but of course they are worried that Chi Zhelu will find out that Shanshan chooses to stand on the side of the Han people this time.
Chi Zhelu said with a pun: "Give you a chance." ” Agapa understood, but he really didn't have enough courage, and the envoy sent to Chang'an didn't deliver the news back, and it was not clear whether the Han people were willing to accept Shanshan again:
