To completely conquer a nation, first of all, it is necessary to make that nation feel that it has no hope, and it is better to join the sequence of powerful conquerors, or to lie dormant and taste the courage, or to survive, as long as the nation is not extinct, there are still countless possibilities.
Whether Zhuxia belonged to a nation from the beginning can be answered from the word "Zhu".
Zhuxia has never referred to a single nation, but to the same camp sequence, which gradually formed a large number of Han people after the early Han Dynasty, and then combined with many vassal races such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu, Qiang, Goguryeo, etc., to form a pan-Zhuxia system.
According to Sima Qian's explanation, Zhuxia began with the Xia Dynasty, and with the collapse and collapse of the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and even the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of Xia, Shang, and Zhou moved outside the Central Plains.
Therefore, the Xiongnu are descendants of Xia, and the rest of the non-Han ethnic groups can also find evidence of their relationship with Xia, Shang, and Zhou, especially the evidence of the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, so as to determine that everyone is actually their own people.
It is difficult to say what role the Pan-Zhuxia theory played in history, and when the Han people were strong, they were a weapon to defeat and assimilate foreign races.
However, when the Han people weakened and had foreign enemies to invade and were ruled because they could not resist, that set of theories became a sharp weapon to break the resistance of the Han people, and even some cultural people could confidently say that it was not ashamed to serve the invaders of the same ancestor.
Under normal circumstances, even if the main ethnic group of Zhuxia can ensure its own strength, the rest of the vassal races will not honestly unite around the Pan-Zhuxia camp, and from time to time there will be some moths, and sometimes even suddenly ruthless.
Most of the time, it is actually the Juche nation that cares for and takes care of the rest of the small partners, such as giving food subsidies, teaching knowledge, improving their industrial level, and adding points to the college entrance examination, but this kind of help is basically not grateful.
Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao both lived through the same era, and before the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, the ruling class did not think that the Hu people were very threatening.
Their self-confidence was based on the fact that during the period of the Three Kingdoms, any country could press the surrounding Hulu or barbarians to the ground and rub them, believing that the Hulu had been completely tamed.
However, the facts proved that the enigmatic self-confidence of the Western Jin Dynasty was completely false.
The civil war between the princes and the three kingdoms made Zhuxia lose a large number of people, and the lack of labor continued to introduce Hu Lu who thought it was tamed, Hu Lu was actually relatively honest at first, but he couldn't bear the Sima family were ambitious, and the kings attacked each other to reveal the reality of the paper tiger of the Western Jin Dynasty, and then he was taught to be a man by Hu Lu.
With the lessons of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han people began to realize that Hulu would not be tamed at all, at least except for the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasty, no one could tame Hulu.
Their cognition was not wrong, and none of the later dynasties did the great cause of taming Hu Lu like the Han Dynasty.
Whether it was the Great Sui that was strong for a while, or the Tang Dynasty, whose population was not as large as that of the Great Sui from its establishment to its demise, they all suffered the loss of thinking that they had tamed Hulu, and made one who was besieged and had to ask the king of Qinwang in the world to cause chaos in the world Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen Pass, and the other was simply sent to the grave by Hulu who he thought had been tamed.
Today's Han State has regained the self-confidence of the hegemon, but the lessons from the Western Jin Dynasty are profound enough, and it is difficult to say what the rest is, Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao will have a mentality that if they support a white-eyed wolf again, they will definitely be bitten.
Because of worry, Yuan Qiao retreated from indoctrination in Persia.
Huan Wen also had concerns, but he chose to face the difficulties.
He was already working on a draft in his head, and he wanted to suggest that the center should increase the cultural penetration of Persian Sassanid and help the Ardashir royal family of Persian Sassanid establish a centralized system, but it was to create internal chaos in Persian Sasani, and there were too many things that could be manipulated.
In the end, Kianush Alta Ardashir's request for the purchase of ordnance was not responded to in a timely manner, and Huan Wen replied that he needed to consult the center.
Instead, his other request to learn the Han system was promised.
The arrival of Kianush Arta Ardashir is just a small episode, and Huan Wen now attaches the most importance to the conquest of Ah San.
In the north and east, the Han army will not have any offensive for the time being, and the two sides will enter the stage of confrontation for the time being.
"Fu Wei is already moving towards the coast there."
Yuan Qiao pointed to the map of the eastern coastal area: "The mountainous area here is not very vast.
With a frontal advance and a landing force projected by the fleet, the enemy's retreat without being flanked is most likely. ” Until now, the Han army is still not familiar with mountain warfare, and even jungle warfare is still a bit blind.
Huan Wen would delay until this time to land on the Asan mainland, which was traced back to the reason for the transfer of troops from the southwest of the mainland, and then to allow more time for more troops to adapt to and learn mountain warfare and jungle warfare.
The latest batch of standing troops to be transferred from the mainland, they are the troops commanded by Huan Wen for the longest time, at first it was the Li Chenghan who followed Huan Wen to attack Bashu, and then followed by Ningzhou, Jiaozhou and Guang 1 Prefecture, which swept the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
They were withdrawn from the command of Huan Wen in the seventh year of Yuan Shuo, of course, because of the end of the war in the south of the mainland, and because the Han system did not allow an army to be controlled by a general for a long time.
In addition to the troops who were relatively good at mountain warfare and jungle warfare from the mainland, Huan Wen also specially invited Qian Jiantong and part of the Yulin Army to be transferred.
Qian Jiantong and the Yulin Army were the last troops to land on Ah San, and they were assigned the task after the necessary rest, and the headquarters and the standing army of the two divisions were responsible for attacking the city of Sart, the capital of the king of Jitanado, accompanied by some of Ah San's subordinate army, and there were servant troops from the Japanese Islands to follow.
The royal capital of Geitanado, the city of Sartre, was built in the core of a plain, and in terms of the geographical environment of Asan, even the plain could not lack dense forests, and the river system was also numerous and mixed.
The loss is that the Han army has never lacked experience in crossing the river, and with the guide leading the way, the headquarters did not encounter too much trouble.
"Except for the necessary guides, no matter those Ah San."
Qian Jiantong just learned that as long as he crossed the river in front of him, there would be a flat river in front of him, and there was no dense forest in the way: "It is more than eighty miles from here to Sartre City, and some cavalry can arrive before dusk." ” Li Jun is Qian Jiantong's lieutenant general.
The lieutenant general is the role of the main general to pick up the missing parts, and the other is to do some work such as guarding the main general's flanks.
He knew very well what Qian Jiantong was planning.
"The infantry lacks the animal power to travel, and they can only arrive before dawn at the fastest speed."
Cai Mian has more concerns as a long history: "Although we have snooping intelligence on Sutter City, it is difficult to estimate how much authenticity the information is. ” Cai Mian is Cai You's eldest son, and he was able to take the last train to conquer the Asan Continent this time, which was Cai You's special request for Liu Yan's grace.
Many of the second generation of officials in the Han Kingdom, because the official generation did not understand Liu Yan's specific thoughts for the time being, most of them were more honest in learning or practicing martial arts, waiting to find out a little about Liu Yan's thoughts, and the official generation began to strive for the opportunity to make contributions for their heirs, and a very small number of them developed in the direction of local officials, and more sought to go abroad to participate in the war.
As the royal capital of a country, even in a small country as Gitanado, it is impossible for Sutter City to be without garrisons at any time.
The information obtained by the Han army was that about 8,000 so-called guards had been stationed in the city of Sutter for a long time, which was basically eight-tenths of the Kshatriya army of this small country, and if necessary, no less than 30,000 young men could be mobilized to participate in the defense of the city.
In addition to the snooping of troops, the Han army also had an understanding of the city defense, Sartre City is a city of about 50,000 or 60,000 people, with a wall of about three zhang as a barrier, that is, there is no moat.
Qian Jiantong also knew that he had been idle for too long, which caused him to be a little anxious.

Giving up the idea of a surprise attack by the cavalry alone, he inevitably scolded again: "Can those Ah San be more wasteful?"
After all, the Han army has already invaded the territory of Gitanado, and even the Dera Dynasty will not ignore the city defense of Sartre no matter how stupid it is.
The city of Sartre with security is not something that can be taken by a cavalry raid at all, especially since the number of cavalry is only about two thousand.
There are not a lot of subordinate troops who are going to attack Sutter City with Qian Jiantong's troops, the 3,000 Kshatriya legions led by Misap himself, and nearly 50,000 untouchable armies, the Kshatriya legions among them are actually quite good, but those untouchables are really a little unsightly.
"With us opening the way ahead, they can still walk like this" Li Jun didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed: "If Ah San is like this, we really chose a good place to conquer." ” It's not that Ah San behaves worse than he acts, of course he can't stand it as a teammate.
But for the invaders, the worse Ah San is, the easier it is to fight, which is really a good thing.
After crossing the river and marching about five miles forward, Qian Jiantong ordered the construction of a temporary camp, and the necessary scouts must also be dispatched.
Before the annexed army could catch up, Qian Jiantong had already ordered Cai Mian to preside over the cooking of the pot, and the scouts sent back to report that a considerable number of Gitanado troops were approaching from two directions.
"One is a mixture of cavalry and infantry, and the number is about eight thousand."
Of course, Cai Mian didn't have time to cook, so he urgently returned to the main army tent to do his main job: "The other is the coordination of charioteers and infantry, and the number is about six thousand. ” Charioteers Zhuxia has long eliminated the charioteer, and the rest of the civilizations, including Rome and Persian Sassanid, are more or less charioteers, especially the charioteers of various countries in Asan, which are regarded as one of the main combat arms.
The reconnaissance and alert range of the scouts is generally not more than 30 miles, and it will take some time for the scouts to find the enemy and come back to report, in fact, the enemy army is always approaching, and the time for the Han army to react will not exceed an hour at most.
The temporary camp ordered by Qian Jiantong, according to the specifications of Zhuxia's camp, the temporary camp will not be very elaborate, that is, the necessary ditches will not be dug out, at most it will set up horse rejection and fences, and there will be no multiple defense chains in the camp.
Such a camp has almost no advantages of entrenchment.
"They actually went out of the city and took the initiative to fight" Li Jun didn't understand it, but he really didn't understand what kind of mentality Geita Nado was: "Is it delaying time to strengthen the fortifications of the royal capital?"
"The lonely city is not guarded."
Cai Mian didn't have much actual combat experience, and with the knowledge of military books he had learned, he said: "There are no satellite cities around Sutter City, and the mobile troops are placed outside the city, which is in line with the troop layout. ” If you defend a city, of course, you can't shrink all your troops into the city, which will not only increase the consumption of resources, but also completely cut off the connection with the outside world, and let the invading enemy lose the threat and concentrate on attacking the city.
No matter what the purpose of the approaching enemy army is, Qian Jiantong will not passively stay in place, his choice is to cavalry to meet the invading enemy infantry and cavalry mixed headquarters, a division with nearly 10,000 follow-up troops to meet the enemy's chariots and infantry mixed headquarters, and the rest of the people stick to the camp as a reserve force.
The terrain of this area is flat, and there are forests around it, but the forests do not cover a wide area.
Ah San's side belongs to the hot climate, even if it is a plain, you can't see the green grassland, at a glance it is a generally earthy yellow scenery.
Qian Jiantong, who personally led the cavalry to meet the battle, did not go far to the northeast, and saw the enemy army on the horizon within his field of vision, and with the convenience of the telescope, he strangely found that the distance between the cavalry and the infantry of the army of Gitanado was a little long, and the distance between the two was about eight miles.
"Trumpet" Qian Jiantong now has three options, the first is to directly attack the enemy cavalry, eliminate the cavalry and then slowly clean up the enemy infantry; The second option is to take a detour, prioritizing the infantry to break up, and then turning around to engage the enemy cavalry; The third option is to divide the forces and attack the enemy's cavalry and infantry at the same time.
"Target Enemy Cavalry" Qian Jiantong himself was born as a cavalry general, and he also commanded infantry, so he knew cavalry and was no stranger to infantry.
His choice was to give priority to the enemy cavalry.
The presence of the Han army was also evident on the side of Gitanado, and the cavalry running in front slowly stopped, and the infantry in the rear also stopped after some distance forward.
Qian Jiantong soon saw that the enemy cavalry was changing horses, and the enemy infantry, who had set aside some attention, left about a thousand people in place, and the rest of the infantry began to move forward again.
"Changing horses" This Yulin cavalry is directly changing horses on the move, using secondary horses in a hurry, and changing to the main war horse during the battle, which is something that cavalry carrying multiple war horses will do.
The horse-changing action in the gallop of the Yulin cavalry seemed to scare the Ah San of Geitanado, and the next moment the Ah San cavalry turned their horses and ran back very simply:
