During the reign of Emperor Taizong, General Hou led an army to attack the Western Regions and annihilate them. Since then, the Tang Dynasty set up the governor of Anxi to manage the affairs of the western regions and strengthen control. Since then, it has become the sword of the country in the western regions of the Tang Dynasty.
In its heyday, the commander-in-chief of Anxi used only 20,000 troops to deter more than 400 countries in the western regions and control more than 3 million square kilometers of land. As the saying goes, "I have a thousand soldiers who can fight Hu and ride tens of thousands!" " At that time, the prosperity of China Wushu shocked the world.
However, with the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, a large number of Anxi elites were transferred back to China for counter-insurgency. At this point, only 1000 old and weak soldiers led by Guo Xin were left guarding the western regions. With the continuous expansion of civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, there was no time to maintain military deterrence against neighboring countries. Tubo and Uighur, who had been suppressed by the Tang Dynasty, began to stir and attack the Western Regions.
The Anxi army, which supported the glory of the Tang Dynasty, did not choose to retreat, but stayed alone in the Western Regions, resisting repeated attacks. It was not until 15 that someone finally came to Chang 'an after thousands of difficulties and dangers. Only then did people know that there were people in the Western Regions. At that time, there was a tendency to call for rain, but at this time, the Tang Dynasty had no spare capacity to support Anxi, and thousands of disabled soldiers had to resist the attack of Tubo and Uighur troops alone.
In 808 AD, only the flag of the Tang Dynasty was flying on the isolated city of Qiuci in Wan Li in the Western Regions. The bright and heavy armor of Anxi Army, which has stood for nearly half a century, has long been broken, the sharp knife has long been broken, and the soldiers are all white-haired. However, when the drums remind us of that moment, all Anxi troops, with the glory of the Tang Dynasty, still charged the Tubo army, which was the last charge.
The city is full of white hair, and the knife never leaves. How dare you forget the Tang Dynasty when you have been fighting for fifty years! /kloc-for more than 0/000 years, people may have forgotten the army far away from the border, but people should not forget, nor should they forget the magnificent spirit of the Tang Dynasty and national self-confidence!
