There has been such a battle in history: in terms of the number of people participating in the battle, it is not as magnificent as Battle of Red Cliffs ; in terms of strategy, it is not as exciting as Guo Jia in the Battle of Guandu . But it was this battle that made the Huns outside the northern part of the Mobei no longer dare to covet the territory of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Shule City in the video is the throat of the pass and Western Regions . Once it is lost, the Huns can drive straight into the city and invade the city. At that time, not only would the Han Dynasty control over the Western Regions be lost, but the countries in this region would also surrender to the Huns in order to protect themselves. At that time, the Emperor Yuan of Han did not pay attention to the city here, so the total number of troops stationed here was only a few thousand.
After the fierce battle between the two sides, this Shule City became an isolated city. The last general who led the team was named Geng Gong . There are actually not many records about him in history, but he has left a strong comment on him! Knowing that the Huns' army was cruel and violent and tens of thousands of people, he still swore to defend the city to the death with the remaining 300 people.
Middleway Although Geng Gong sent people to Emperor Yuan of Han three times to ask for help, many people in the court opposed it, so it was delayed. The reason for opposition is also very strange. The recent reinforcements arrived in Shule City not only to cross Tianshan , but also to be in the season when the mountains were blocked with heavy snow. It will take nearly a month. If the city falls in the middle, the reinforcements will not only fail to save Shule City, but may also be eliminated by the Huns. During this period, General Chen Tang also received relevant military reports. He shed tears several times and was moved by the bloody battles of the soldiers in Shule City and the spirit of rather than surrender. Therefore, when Emperor Yuan of Han was undecided, he stood up!
He first denounced the so-called " value theory " ministers, and reviewed the efforts made by the late emperor in conquering the Western Regions for Emperor Yuan of Han. "It is advisable to hang the gao street barbarian residence to show that one is thousands of miles away. Those who violate the powerful Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" That is what he said at this time. It is still used to this day, but it has been changed to "Those who offend our China will be punished even if they are far away." After hearing this, Emperor Yuan of Han finally made up his mind to send troops to rescue him!
When reinforcements went through a lot of hardships to reach Shule City, everyone shed tears. Because they saw that there were only twelve soldiers and their leader Geng Gong in the city. Everyone became ragged and inhuman due to lack of food and clothing and resistance to the Hun army day and night, but everyone's eyes were still firm. In the end, Geng Gong's thirteen soldiers and reinforcements repelled the Huns' army, and at this point, the Western Regions finally returned to peace!
After learning the news of victory, Chen Tang was extremely excited. He once again submitted a message to the emperor. There was a passage in it: When the guardian was exhausted, boil the armor and crossbow, eat the tendons and leather; scatter the horse manure and drink it together. Later, " Manjianghong " written by Yue Fei , one of the allusions of "I am eager to eat the meat of the barbarians, laughing at me and drinking the blood of the Huns" also comes from this. China has emerged in many heroes since ancient times, and this period of history is worth remembering and chanting by every Chinese!
