During the 20 years that the United States spent a huge amount of money to invade Afghanistan, little effect has been achieved. Like the Soviet Union, it was deeply trapped in the quagmire of the "Imperial Cemetery" and had to end the "farce" war; the U.S. military was hurriedly evacuating from the local area. There were also incidents such as airport blockade and bomb attacks. It has had a very bad influence on the image of the United States and even the West.
In the past two days, some Western media, who are recovering from the condemnation from all over the world, have begun various harassment operations for the United States to "scrub the ground", and many of them have also used neighboring Afghanistan. China’s methods of spreading rumors, one of the most hilarious reports, even reached the divine conclusion that “China invaded Afghanistan”.
And this time dates back to the Tang Dynasty. On the "Diplomats" website, there is an article titled "The Tang Dynasty and Afghanistan: The Imperial Cemetery".

The author points out that the Tang Dynasty and Turkic Khanate has set up local government agencies in the border war in Afghanistan and has attacked and fought in Afghanistan since the background. . Later, the author mentions the history of Anshi Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, which led to the weakening of national power and the loss of control over West Asia.
"nonsense" will not be introduced too much.
First briefly introduce the history of Afghanistan:
The history of Afghanistan can be traced back to the period of the Persian Empire. In the 6th century BC, was incorporated into Persia during the expedition to Cyrus the Great.
After Alexander invaded in 329 BC, he was incorporated into his empire. Alexander After the death of the empire, the Afghan region was transferred to the eastern part of the Seleucid .
about 250 BC, located between Amu Darya and the Hindu Kush Mountains (including northern Afghanistan) Baktriya Governor Theodore broke away from the Seleucid dynasty Independence, the Hellenistic Bactrian kingdom (named Daxia, Tocharo, etc. in Chinese historical records) was established. In the first half of the second century, , who originally resided in Hexi Corridor, was killed by the Huns. After being defeated, he moved west to the Amu Darya Valley and conquered Daxia from 140 to 130 BC, driving the Greeks from Central Asia to northwestern India.
In the 1st century AD, Guishuang unified the tribes and expanded into a powerful Guishuang Kingdom. After the third century, it gradually declined and split into several small countries. The first half of the fifth century was wiped out by the who struck from the north.
around 567,The Sassanid Persians and the Western Turks jointly defeated the Kata people, and divided their territories with the Amu Darya as the boundary. Tocharo was assigned to Persia, but soon (about 568) was captured by the Western Turks.
In 627, Yehu Khan sent his eldest son to establish a Turkic dynasty in Tocharo.
After the Tang army destroyed the Western Turks, the Turkic king of Tocharo turned to China and became his vassal. Tang set up the Yueshi capitol here. In today’s Afghanistan and its vicinity, there are still several small states belonging to Tochar: Hu Mi, Hu Shi Qian (the Shazhou Dudu Mansion in the Tang Dynasty), Yibin (Xiuxian Dudu Mansion), Fan Yan (Wufeng Dudu Mansion) ), Hadalo branch (Tiaozhi Dudu Mansion), Gu Duo (Gao Fu Dudu Mansion). In addition, Tang Taizong Li Shimin also named the son of the last Persian emperor who went into exile in China.

By now everyone should understand that the Afghan region was invaded and occupied by the Western Turks, and it was invaded and occupied 5 times before. The Tang Dynasty only took over this area with the surrender of the Western Turks, and implemented the detention policy through the establishment of the Duhufu.
The so-called China’s invasion of Afghanistan is nothing but nonsense.
and the rule of the Tang Dynasty is relatively stable,Unlike some two empires, effective rule cannot be established at all.
It was not until the eighth century, when the Arabs entered, and the Tang Dynasty, because of the Anshi Rebellion, that the Afghan region was separated from the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of this, once again warns us that a truly powerful country is destroyed or is often dragged to death Yes, Qin and Han , Sui and Tang and so on.
