Speaking of the conquerors of China, everyone will probably think of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In fact, his great-grandson Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun was not bad at all. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the founder of the Han Dynasty's foreign wars, then Liu Xun was the recipient of the achievements of his predecessors. Militarily, Liu Xun fulfilled his ancestor's dream - to surrender the Huns . In 72 BC, Liu Xun sent 160,000 cavalry to attack the Huns. The Huns fled in panic. On the way, they encountered a snowstorm and an attack from the Wusun Kingdom, a tributary of the Han Dynasty. They suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Huns split into five tribes and fought with each other. Subsequently, the Han army took advantage of the civil strife of the Xiongnu to obtain the surrender of Huhanxie Chanyu, the Xiongnu, and officially occupied the entire Western Region.
As a result, the Han Dynasty not only conquered 1.6 million square kilometers of territory, but also turned 5.6 million square kilometers of the Xiongnu into its own vassal state. At the eastern end of Asia, no country dares to compete with China. The Han Dynasty has become the country with the largest territory, the most populous population, and the strongest strength in the world.In order to commemorate his achievements in pacifying the Hu people, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty erected a monument to pacify the Hu people. There is a sentence engraved on it that can be passed down through the ages, that is, : "Everywhere the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, are all Han soil."
This sentence directly shows Liu Xun's majesty as the "Lord of the World", and also vividly displays the grandeur and domineering power of the Chinese Empire. This sentence cannot be surpassed by the above conquerors!
