Chapter 945

The greatest significance of history to contemporary people is to let people understand what is a lesson from the past, to avoid the bad situation caused by what they do, and to learn from the experience that what they do will have good results.

"The situation we are facing is not optimistic, but it has long been expected." Su Ren didn't speak very clearly. He believed that the officers could understand the unfinished meaning: "50000 enemy troops were assembled at the position called herat by the local people, and more than 100000 enemy troops were in the Aral Sea."

Herat was fifty miles west of their position, which was once the territory of the Persians and later occupied by the hunites.

The Aral Sea is the Aral Sea of later generations. It is located 120 miles to the north of their location. It is the largest lake in the region, but it is not a high-quality fresh water resource. It is in a strange position, but the water quality in the mainland is similar to that of sea water.

"The enemy on the other side of the Aral Sea is the hunit people gathered to deal with the forces of the right route army. Now it has become our threat." When Su Ren said this, the officers burst into laughter. He also smiled for a while and then said, "everything is still going according to the plan. What we really need to pay attention to is the enemy of herat."

The right route army of the western region capital guard first broke into the territory of the Shujie people, and then invaded the territory of the hunit people. However, it only raged a little in the territory of the hunit people, and then moved to the territory of the Kangju people.

The hunites must have been paying attention to the trend of the western region capital guard. They responded at the assembly stage when the western region capital guard was ready to invade, and the general was transferred to the position of the Aral Sea.

What the hunites didn't expect was that the right route army of the western region capital guard turned to Kangju. I don't know why they didn't leave the Aral Sea assembly site and watched Kangju mourn everywhere under the havoc of the Han army.

Su Ren looked at his long history with the army and asked, "has the data been counted?"

Chen Xu immediately replied, "there are more than 34000 escorts from the western regions."

Before they set out, there were 5300 people belonging to the sequence of the western region capital guards, including 10000 Han Xiaoguo and 56000 western region people accompanying the army.

First, they entered the area occupied by the Capricorn people. They called it the first stage of invasion, and they didn't suffer much loss.

What really began to cause a lot of losses occurred in the second stage of the invasion, that is, entering the territory of hunit.

The Persians said that the hunit people had a tenacious fighting style. They were suddenly invaded. Although the people did not organize formed units to resist, the hunit people did not appear docile when they were invaded. It can even be said that the hunit people resisted tenaciously.

When the followers of the western regions obeyed the orders of the Han people to suppress the same western regions people, and even carried out violence against the Shujie people, most of the time they faced a very relaxed situation. They probably didn't expect that the hunnits were different. They used their experience and mentality towards the Western Regions people and the Shujie people to deal with the hunnits, Many unnecessary casualties occurred when the hunites were not taken seriously.

At the beginning of the invasion of hunit, the western region's entourage lost more than 10000 people in a short half month.

The serious casualties finally let the followers of the western regions know that the hunites are different. They face every fight with the most vigilant attitude, and the losses are naturally reduced. Their means and methods of dealing with hunit people have become more cruel and bloody.

"We had hoped to see such an outcome." Chen Xu couldn't help smiling proudly: "whether the people of the western regions hate the hunites or the hunites hate the people of the western regions, we are happy to see the result."

Although the Han Empire took the initiative to invade hunit, in terms of number, the main force of the invasion is the people of the western regions. The same people who do all the dirty work are the people of the western regions. Some hunit people will survive on some occasions, and they will spread what the people of the western regions have done.

Whether the people of the western regions realize what role they have become is not so important. They have no right to choose at all.

For the people of the western regions who participated in the invasion, they invaded the territory of the Shujie people and the hunnit people, exchanged their heads for five baht, and there were rich booty on their books waiting for profit. It was enough to see these.

"This place is our chosen battlefield." Su Ren pointed to an area marked as plain on the mountain map: "the battle itself has no complex battle plan. We need to have a frontal confrontation with the hunit people."

They brought out 56000 lambs, some of which fell at the stage of growth, and others had been fed with blood to grow into manhood, with deadly horns on their heads.

The Han people of this generation do not like threats. They believe that Northern Xinjiang is the biggest threat. When the domestic people's livelihood is still erosive, they bite their teeth and solve the threats they see.

They will go to war with the Gupta Dynasty regardless of consumption and loss, but they also think that the Gupta Dynasty is a threat. They don't want to wait until one day when the warships of the Gupta Dynasty sail to the offshore of the Han Empire and choose to take the initiative to eliminate the possible threat.

At present, the escorts of the western regions are also considered to be a threat. Taking them back to encircle and kill them will not be the best plan. It is impossible to completely cover up the matter. Once they are perceived by the western regions, no one will respond to the recruitment of the western regions capital guard. It is only one of the bad results. What's more, it will make the western regions people recognize the facts, Resistance to life or death.

"How are the Xiaoguo?" Su Ren asked what kind of choice they would make if they were aware of the army's actions: "is it stable?"

"It's complicated." Chen Xu didn't know what kind of expression to use, so he had to be expressionless: "generally, the situation can be controlled. More people who will go wrong have been transferred."

People's feelings are very complex. Two people who don't know each other have been together for a long time. They have either become friends or enemies.

If there is a little kinship, it will be more complicated. Not everyone can be cruel.

"Then don't waste time." Su Ren never thought that every Han Chinese would have the same consciousness: "the situation can't get worse."

After the meeting, the officers naturally returned to their respective teams.

The area they are in should be regarded as a plateau area. When they are closer to the sky, the night sky will be clearer.

Tonight is a cloudless day. The moon passes through this latitude during the day, and there are only twinkling stars in the sky.

Hunit people are semi nomadic and semi farming. It is probably that farming is mainly in the southeast. At the same time, this place is also a plateau; The northwest is a relatively low altitude area. There is a trend of plain, which is used to settle nomadic tribes.

"It's said that the altitude south of Kunlun Mountain is higher than where we stayed?" Fang Lun was lying on a haystack and looking at the sky with countless stars: "the altitude on the other side of Tianshan Mountain is much higher than that on this side?"

To the south of Kunlun Mountain is the modern Hoh Xil mountain range, and to the south is the Qinghai Tibet Plateau with the highest altitude in the world. Up to now, the Han people have not brought that area under control and are still in the stage of exploration.

Seriously speaking, the western region is also a place with high altitude, especially Tianshan Mountain and Congling (Pamir). The western region's imperial guards 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 a kind of cattle covered with long hair?" Wang Mian didn't know it was a cow: "I heard that the meat of that cow is very chewy?"

The Han people have been exploring the Qinghai Tibet Plateau since the eighth year of Yuanshuo. Various intelligence only shows one point. There is simply a desolate place. It has been repeatedly confirmed that it is not suitable for the survival of the Han people. At the same time, after exploration, there is no rich mineral resources, and the area that can provide farming is also small.

This is a mistake made by the contemporary Han people. Perhaps the exploration is not comprehensive, or the technology is not enough. Otherwise, it will be found that the mineral resources on the plateau are surprisingly rich.

According to modern exploration, the types of resources stored on the plateau are extremely rich. There are 101 known minerals, including 80 million tons of copper, 2000 tons of gold and more than 100000 tons of silver. In addition, the reserves of lead and zinc are even more amazing, but the reserves of iron ore are lower.

If the dynasties of the past dynasties knew that there were such huge reserves of minerals on the plateau, they would not have to worry about the amount of gold and silver. Only 80 million tons of copper ore would be enough to make them crazy. It is estimated that they would control and mine at any cost.

However, all dynasties encountered the same situation as the Han people today, or went to explore. Because of the relationship between technology, they didn't find it, or even didn't move their eyes at all.

"Zhuang Quan, they were transferred." Fang Lun didn't know how much Wang Mian knew. He asked, "do you know why?"

"What else can it be?" Wang Mian turned over to make himself more comfortable: "they are different from me. Unlike me, they don't care so much about the life and death of their brother-in-law or miscellaneous relatives."

Zhuang Quan comes from the south of the Yangtze River, where he has not experienced the tragedy of the rampant five Hu, which is slightly different from the Han people in the north of the Yangtze River.

Most of the others who sympathize with the people of the western regions come from the south of the Yangtze River. They have lived in the north of the Yangtze River since childhood and survived the ravages of the Hu people. Of the 100, only three or five sympathize with the people of the western regions.

At least they know who they are. When they notice something wrong, they don't grumble around like crazy, but just persuading the people of the western regions to leave or escape will also make the situation on this side very bad.

Fang Lun didn't know what kind of mood he was in and asked, "will they be all right?"

"You asked the wrong person." Wang Mian said absurdly, "maybe you can ask Tun Chang Li."

Fang Lun wanted to ask, but felt that once he really did that, there was a 60% chance that he would become one of the people transferred.

"We are Chinese, and they are also Chinese." Wang Mian said that Xiaoguo and the officers and men of the western regions who protect the government: "unfortunately, they will be escorted back to the western regions. There will be no execution."

Fang Lun 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."

What the world wants to say can most easily arouse a person's evil thoughts. There is no doubt that war. No matter which camp you stand in, both sides treat each other as enemies. Since it is a hostile relationship, it will not care what means to eliminate it, resulting in more and more disregard of means.

In the early morning of the next day, the horn that rang through the whole camp awakened the sleeping people. No matter what their mental state, they should be groomed as soon as possible. Whether they can eat in the camp depends entirely on the command of the commander.

"After three months of running, I can ride on my horse and eat and drink with my hands open." Wang Mian's sleep quality was obviously good last night. The whole person looked very energetic: "I feel happier to eat rice balls in this broken place than to chew on mutton legs."

The marching troops, whether they are the regular army of the western region government guard, or the Han Xiaoguo and the western region's entourage, are all eating hot rice balls.

No one cares about how many grain trucks are always there, but how rice can never be consumed, so no one has noticed that there are always ten people who are civilians in the team, and their protection is far better than that of a leader. They just lament the strength of their own side. There is no lack of food in their hometown where they are so far away from their hometown.

"Can you see why I'm so determined now?" Abati gathered together, took the rice ball's hand and said to Zeku, "such a small thing shows too many things."

As before, Zeku doesn't know what Abati means. He only knows that Abati is one of the smart people in the village. If Abati wants to do anything, it's absolutely right to do it.

"So Master Wang sent someone to ask me whether to join the servant army. I didn't hesitate to join." Abati didn't find out how to be. He was really eager to serve the Han Empire. He first got a good citizen certificate, and then tried his best to get naturalization: "believe me, obeying them and serving them are our only choice."

Zeku said cleanly, "do what you say."

If the records on the exchange book of the remaining Western Region People's entourage are good, basically the Han army will ask whether to join the servant army. Once they are willing, they will be included in the servant army system and become the glorious servant soldiers of the Han Empire. Since then, they have nothing to do with the entourage.

From a lot of information, Abati firmly believes that becoming a minion will be the most important choice in his life. All he knows is that if he wants to become a naturalized nationality, he should start by becoming a minion first.

"I hope the military Confucian students don't brag." Su Ren is actually a headache: "if they don't succeed, even if it's obvious, a person from the western regions can't go back."

"Turning barbarians into summer is a long process." Chen Xu himself is also one of the disciples of Confucianism, that is, most Confucian scholars are actually "long" crooked, and more inclined to Metaphysics: "we can't let the people of the western regions be destroyed, only we go back."

Su Ren began rubbing his swollen temples again.
