The greatest significance of history for the present generation is to let people understand what it means to learn from the past, to avoid those who have done what they have done that will lead to bad situations, and to learn from the experience of those who have done it that will lead to good results.
"The situation we are facing is not optimistic, but it is also a situation that has been predicted for a long time."
Su Ren didn't say it too clearly, he believed that the officers could understand the unfinished meaning: "The position called Herat by the locals has gathered 50,000 enemy troops, and there are more than 100,000 enemy troops in the Aral Sea. ” Herat was fifty miles west of their position, which had been the territory of the Persians and was later occupied by the Hunnites.
The Aral Sea is the Aral Sea of later generations, located one hundred and twenty miles north of their location, it is the largest lake in the region, but it is not a high-quality freshwater resource, and it is very strange that the water quality of the inland is similar to that of the sea.
"The enemy forces on the Aral Sea side, which the Hunnites had assembled to deal with the forces of the Right Army, are now a threat to us."
When Su Ren said this, the officers all burst into laughter.
He laughed for a moment, then continued, "Everything is still going according to plan, and what we really need to pay attention to is the enemy force in Herat." ” The Right Army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions first broke into the territory of the Shuqi people, and then invaded the territory of the Hunnites, but only moved to the territory of the Kangju people after the Hunnite territory was slightly ravaged.
The Hunnites must have been keeping an eye on the movements of the Western Protectorate, and they reacted as they assembled the Western Protectorate in preparation for the invasion by moving their troops to the Aral Sea.
What the Hunnites did not expect was probably that the right army of the Western Regions Protectorate would turn to Kangju, I don't know why they did not leave the Aral Sea assembly area, and watched Kangju mourn all over the field under the ravages of the Han army.
Su Ren looked at his army commander and asked, "Has the data been counted?"
Chen Xu immediately replied: "The troops of our own side that have been assembled have more than 34,000 followers from the Western Regions. ” Before they set out, there were 5,300 people belonging to the Western Regions Protectorate sequence, 10,000 Han Xiaoguo recruited, and 56,000 Western Regions people accompanying the army.
First, they entered the area where the Shujin people were entrenched, which they called the first stage of the invasion, and did not suffer much damage of their own.
The real start of the heavy losses took place during the second phase of the invasion, which was the entry into the borders of the Hunite.
The Persians were not wrong to say that the Hunnites were stubborn in their fighting style, and although they were suddenly invaded, the Hunnites did not appear docile when they were invaded, and it can even be said that the Hunnites resisted stubbornly.
When the people of the Western Regions followed the orders of the Han people to suppress the same people from the Western Regions, and even when they were violent against the Shujin people, most of the time they faced a very relaxed situation, they probably did not expect the Hunnite people to be different, and used their experience and mentality for the Western Regions and the Shujin people to deal with the Hunnites, and many unnecessary casualties were generated in the situation of not taking the Hunnites seriously.
In the early days of the invasion of the Hunnette, the Westerners lost more than 10,000 people in a short period of half a month.
The serious casualties finally let the people of the Western Regions know that the Hunnites are different, and they face every battle with the most vigilant mentality, and the losses are naturally reduced.
Their methods and methods of dealing with the Hunnites became more brutal and bloody.
"We would have liked to see that."
Chen Xu couldn't help but smile smugly: "Whether it is the people of the Western Regions who hate the Hunnites, or the Hunnites who hate the people of the Western Regions, it is the result that we are willing to see. ” Although it was the Han Empire that took the initiative to invade the Hunnit, the main force of the invasion in terms of numbers was the Western Regions, and it was the Western Regions who did all the dirty work, and there will definitely be some Hunnites who survived on some occasions, and they will spread everything that the Western Regions people did.
Whether the people of the Western Regions realize what kind of role they have become is not that important, they have no choice at all.
For the people of the Western Regions who participated in the invasion, they invaded the territory of the Shuqian and Hunnites, exchanged their heads for five baht, and there were still rich spoils waiting to be shared on the books, as long as they saw this.
"This is the place we have chosen to meet the battlefield."
Su Ren pointed to an area marked as a plain on the map of mountains and rivers: "The battle itself does not have a complicated battle plan, and we need to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Hunnites. ” They brought out fifty-six thousand lambs, some of whom had fallen in the stage of growth, and the others had been fed with blood to the prime of life, and their heads had horns that could kill them.
This generation of Han Chinese did not like threats, they believed that northern Xinjiang was the biggest threat, and when the people's livelihood in the country was still in a state of erosion, they gritted their teeth and solved the threats they saw. will make a big move to start a war with the Gupta Dynasty regardless of attrition and losses, which is nothing more than thinking that the Gupta Dynasty is a threat, and does not want to wait for the Gupta Dynasty's warships to sail to the coastal waters of the Han Empire one day, and chooses to take the initiative to eliminate the possible threat.
Now those people from the Western Regions who brought out are also considered to be a threat, and it will not be the best plan to bring them back and then besiege them, so it is impossible to completely cover up the matter, once they are detected by the people of the Western Regions, no one will respond to the recruitment of the Western Regions Protectorate is only one of the bad results, and more seriously, it will make the people of the Western Regions recognize the facts clearly and resist either life or death.
"How are the Xiaoguo" Su Ren asked what kind of choice they would make when they perceived the movements of the army: "Is it stable?"
"It's complicated."
Chen Xu didn't know what kind of expression to use, so he had to be expressionless: "The general situation can still be controlled, and more people who will have forks have been transferred." ” Human feelings are complicated, and two people who don't know each other have been together for a long time, and they either become friends or enemies.
If there is a little bit of kinship, it will be more complicated, and not everyone can be ruthless.
"Then there's no time to waste."
Su Ren never felt that every Han person would have the same realization: "The situation cannot be further deteriorated. ” After the meeting, the officers naturally returned to their respective ranks.
The area they are in should be regarded as a plateau area, and while they are closer to the sky, the night sky will naturally be clearer.
Tonight was a fine cloudless day, and the moon passed through this latitude during the day, and there were only twinkles of stars in the sky.
The Hunnites are semi-nomadic and semi-agrarian, probably in the southeast, where agriculture is predominant, and this place is also a plateau; The north-west is a lower elevation area, where a plain tends to be used to house nomadic tribes.
"I heard that the altitude south of Kunlun Mountain is higher than where we are" Fang Theory is lying on top of a haystack, looking at the sky of unknown stars: "The altitude on the other side of the Tianshan Mountain is also much higher here" To the south of the Kunlun Mountains is the modern Hoh Xil Mountains, and further south is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the highest altitude in the world.
Seriously speaking, the Western Regions is also a place with a high altitude, especially the two regions of the Tianshan Mountains and the Green Mountains Pamir, and the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate has arranged to go to these two places for training every year, which is actually a process of adapting to the plateau.
"There are a small number of savages living on it, and there is a kind of cow covered with long hair" Wang Mian didn't know that it was a cow: "I heard that the meat of that kind of cow is very chewy" The Han people have been exploring the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau since the eighth year of Yuan Shuo, and various information only shows that it is a desolate place at all, and it has been repeatedly confirmed that it is not suitable for the Han people to survive at the same time, there are no rich mineral resources after exploration, and the area that can provide agriculture is also small and pitiful.
This is a mistake made by the contemporary Han people, perhaps because the exploration is not comprehensive, or maybe the technology is not enough, otherwise they will find that the minerals on the plateau are amazingly rich.
According to modern exploration, the resources stored on the plateau are abundant, and there are 101 known minerals, of which the reserves of copper reach 80 million tons, 2,000 tons of gold, and more than 100,000 tons of silver.
If the dynasties of all dynasties knew that there were such huge reserves of minerals on the plateau, they would not have to care about the amount of gold and silver, and only 80 million tons of copper ore would be enough to make them crazy, and it is estimated that they would control and mine them at any cost.
However, all dynasties have encountered the same situation as the Han people today, or they have not found it because of technology, or they have not looked away at all.
"Zhuang Quan, they were transferred."
Fang Yan didn't know how much Wang Mian knew, and asked, "Do you know why?"
"What else could it be."

Wang Mian turned over and made himself lie more comfortable: "They are different from me, they don't care so much about the life or death of their brother-in-law or any miscellaneous relatives." ” Zhuang Quan came from the south of the Yangtze River, which did not experience the misery of the Wuhu rampant, and was slightly different from the Han people north of the Yangtze River in their treatment of foreign races.
Most of the rest of the people who sympathize with the people of the Western Regions are from the south of the Yangtze River, and those who have lived north of the Yangtze River since they were children and survived the ravages of the Hu people, and only three or five out of a hundred people at most have sympathy for the people of the Western Regions.
They at least knew who they were, and they didn't go crazy after noticing that something was wrong, but just persuading the people of the Western Regions to leave or run away with them would make the situation on this side extremely bad.
Fang Yan didn't know what kind of mood he was in, and asked, "Will they be fine?"
"You're asking the wrong person."
Wang Mian said with a ridiculous face: "Maybe you can go and ask Li Tunchang." ” Fang Yan wanted to ask, but felt that once he really did that, there was a sixty percent chance that he would become one of the people who were transferred.
"We are Han people, and they are Han people."
Wang Mian was talking about Xiaoguo and the soldiers of the Western Regions Protectorate: "If you are worse, you will be escorted back to the Western Regions, and there will be no execution." ” Fang Tan was not as optimistic as Wang Mian, he was silent for a while, and said in an inexplicable tone: "We are participating in a war. ” If there is anything in the world that can most easily arouse a person's evil thoughts, there is no doubt that it is war, no matter which camp you stand on, both sides see each other as enemies.
Since it is a hostile relationship, it does not care what means are used to destroy it, so it becomes more and more reckless.
In the early hours of the next morning, the sound of trumpets resounding throughout the camp woke up the sleeping people, who should be freshened up as soon as possible, regardless of their mental state, and whether they could eat in the camp or not was entirely up to the orders of the commander.
"After three months of traveling, I can ride on horseback and eat and drink with my hands open."
Wang Mian's sleep quality last night was obviously good, and he looked very energetic: "Being able to eat rice balls in this broken place is far more happier than holding a leg of mutton or something." ” The troops on the march, whether it was the regular army of the Western Regions Protectorate, or the Han Xiaoguo and the Western Regions Suihu, were all nibbling on hot rice balls.
No one cares about the fact that there are always only a few grain trucks, but the rice can never be consumed, and no one has ever noticed that there are always ten people in the team who look like civilians, and they are far more protected than a military marquis who leads the team.
They just feel that they are strong, and there is no shortage of food in their hometown when they are so far away from their hometown.
"Can you understand why I'm so dead now" Abati gathered his hand holding the rice balls and said to Zeku, "Such a small thing says too much. ” Zeku didn't know what Abbati meant as before, only that Abbati was one of the smart people in the village, and there was nothing wrong with what Abati wanted to do.
"So Master Wang sent someone to ask me if I wanted to join the servant army, and I chose to join without hesitation."
Abati didn't find out what to do, he really wanted to serve the Han Empire, first get a certificate of good citizenship, and then desperately get naturalization: "Believe me, obey them, and serve them is our only choice." ” Zeku said cleanly: "Do what you say." ” The rest of the people from the Western Regions follow the Hu, if the records on the exchange book are good, basically there will be Han soldiers to ask if they want to join the servant army, once they are willing, they will be included in the establishment of the servant army, and become the glorious servant soldiers of the Han Empire, and since then they have not been compatible with the servant army.
Judging from a lot of information, Abbati is extremely convinced that becoming a servant soldier is the most important choice in his life, and what he knows is that if he wants to become a naturalized citizen, he must first become a servant soldier.
"I hope that the Confucian students in the army will not brag."
Su Ren actually had a headache: "If they don't succeed, no matter how obvious it is, not a single person from the Western Regions can go back." ” "It's a long process."
Chen Xu himself is also one of the Confucian disciples, but now most Confucian scholars are actually crooked, and they are more inclined to metaphysics: "We can't let the Western Regions annihilate the entire army, only we are left to go back." ” Su Ren began to rub his swollen temples again
