The short videos I watched are from ancient times, and the ancients broke the defense

【Over more than ten years. 】

【Ban Chao defeated the Central Asian countries including the Yuezhi. 】

【Attack on the Hexi Corridor. 】

【100 AD. 】

【Aged Ban Chao retired. 】

【Returned to Chang'an after 30 years. 】

【Died soon after. 】.

【What he left for the Eastern Han Dynasty was a larger Western Region. 】

In the sky.

As the narrator tells the story.

The picture gradually changes from the elderly Ban Chao to a map.

On the map.

On the right is the territory belonging to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

On the left is the Western Region Protectorate, which is almost comparable to it.

The vastness of the territory.

It is shocking.

"The Western Regions are so huge?"

"I used to think that the Western Regions were just a gathering place for small countries, but I didn't expect it to be such a large territory."

"It is said that the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, but it is so vast!"

Countless ancient people who did not know the Western Regions.

At this moment, they saw the size shown on the map.

They were all shocked.

In their imagination.

The Western Regions were at most a province.

Is it that the Eastern Han Dynasty was too small.

Or is it that the Western Regions are too big?

Ban Chao, who was alone.

actually broke into the huge area of ​​the entire Western Regions Protectorate.

His achievements were also really shocking.

The ancients were full of praise for him.

"This is the real Han Dynasty!"

"Ban Chao is the greatest diplomat in ancient and modern times!"

"Such a large territory, even if there are many deserts in it, can be used by China!"

No matter which dynasty.

Which plane.

For the instinctive desire to expand territory.

No one can escape.

What's more.

The Western Regions have been a very difficult bone to chew since ancient times.

No matter which dynasty.

The Western Regions are the most troublesome area.

Let's not talk about Ban Chao's actions.

Whether to firmly control the Western Regions at the top of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Being able to have such a large area as a territory for expansion.

The existence of the Western Regions Protectorate itself is a manifestation of national strength.

In the admiration of the ancients.

Above the sky.

The situation in the Western Regions.

It began to change gradually.

The wild land.

It seemed that the flowers of civilization had also blossomed.

Sky Curtain:

[The destructiveness of war is very strong. ]

[After the conquest of the Han Empire and the Western Regions. ]

[The Western Regions are full of withering. ]

[But the destructiveness of war can also destroy the old aristocracy and rebuild order. ]

[Rewrite people's previous living habits. ]

[Different civilizations have fiercely fought through wars.. ]

[They also got to know each other. ]

[Naturally, on the road of conquest. ]

[Merchants engaged in trade gradually appeared. ]

[And the Han Empire built infrastructure in the Western Regions for war in the past hundred years. ]

[Irrigation system and reclaimed land. ]

[Also turned many barren lands into civilized worlds. ]

[Frequent official exchanges. ]

[The transportation roads were further maintained. ]

[This is naturally more conducive to private trade. ]

[Increase in commercial activities. ]

[In turn, it stimulated the population growth in the Western Regions. ]

[A distribution center suitable for long-distance cargo transportation. ]

[Also evolved into some new towns. ]

……

The Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Er nodded as he read.

Although war brings many restrictions.

But it will bring new life.

The chaotic world after the chaos.

The population is declining.

Starving people are everywhere.

A scene of hell.

But after such a disaster.

There will be a new prosperous era on the scorched earth.

Even Li Er, who came from a difficult background.

Walked all the way to the throne of the emperor.

Been the emperor for a few years.

After a few years of leisurely life.

Li Er was inevitably a little dazed.

The past disasters have become.

The memory is faint.

Although he still remembers.

The suffering brought by the war.

But in the prosperous era.

It seems that everyone has forgotten.

This is how countless reincarnations in history are.

Just like the Western Regions under the narration of the sky curtain at this time.

However.

Li Er does not want the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to end here.

The Tang Dynasty is destined to decline.

But as a great leader.

Li Er still has a way to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that this matter is definitely impossible for him alone.

He needs the joint efforts of civil and military officials and future generations.

As for now.

There are still many problems that the Tang Dynasty needs to solve.

Li Er looked at the banquet on the side.

The civil and military officials who were already talking and laughing.

These are his brothers who built the country together.

This time's sky curtain incident.

It is both happy and sad.

Although the world may increase a lot of turmoil because of this.

But it is also an opportunity for the long-term development of the Tang Dynasty.

He looked at Yuchi Gong.

The carefree man was now sitting next to Wei Zheng, drinking and playing finger-guessing games.

He was no longer as furious as he was not long ago.

·· ···Please give me flowers··· ·····

This team.

It was Li Er

Civil and military officials toasted Li Er one after another.

Everyone raised their glasses.

Things need to be done.

The banquet must continue.

The heyday of the Tang Dynasty has just begun.

The sky curtain hanging high in the sky.

The screen of the Western Regions being played.

It has also gone from desolation to prosperity.

This foreshadows a new transformation in the Western Regions.

But peace has never been long-lasting.

But the narrator slowly presented the development of the Western Regions to the ancients of countless planes.

Sky curtain:

[Hexi Corridor. ]

[Any oasis spring can develop into a village. ]

[It has become a foothold for travelers. ]

[But the flow of personnel is complicated. ]

[It also means that the military expenditure required to maintain stability in the Western Regions has doubled. 】

..... ..... ...

[The cost of maintaining the Western Regions is still a big problem for the court. 】

[In the late Eastern Han Dynasty. 】

[The Qiang people in the country frequently rioted. 】

[The court could not bear the pressure. 】

[Finally, the Protectorate of the Western Regions was revoked. 】

[So the Western Regions fell into a state of independence. 】

[The Eastern Han Dynasty lost the Western Regions again. 】

[But although the regime is gone. 】

[But the people are still there. 】

[Trade is still there. 】

[No matter who rules. 】

[The prosperous trade network in the Western Regions has grown. 】

[It has become an unstoppable trend. 】

[With the chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. 】

[The population has dropped sharply. 】

【The era of the conquest of the Western Regions by the Central Plains also came to an end. 】

【Although the use of force did not produce lasting results. 】

【But the next era. 】

【It connected China and the Silk Road more closely. 】

……

The Great Song plane.

Zhao Kuangyin looked up at the sky.

The Western Regions are like this, splitting and reuniting.

It is very similar to the splitting and reuniting of the Central Plains.

The rule of a dynasty will never last long.

But who doesn't want their country to be everlasting?

Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

Powerful enemies are all around.

If the Great Song wants to rise.

There is still a long way to go.

And after the Song Dynasty.

It will be the world of the Hu people.

Zhao Kuangyin, who has come all the way from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

I don't want to see the Central Plains suffer so much.

The burden on his shoulders seems to be even greater than he imagined.

But fortunately.

After having the sky curtain.

Zhao Kuangyin has many ways to go.

The future of the Song Dynasty will also be rewritten.

The historical scene mentioned by later generations will never appear again! And.
