Emperor Wudi of Han was very fond of sweat and blood BMW. Hearing that the Kingdom of Dawan in the Western Regions was rich in this product, he sent emissaries with a large amount of gold and a horse made of gold to negotiate business with the Kingdom of Dawan and barter. Unexpectedly, after the internal meeting and discussion of Dawanguo, he thought that BMW could not be given casually, and we were not short of money, and besides, the Han Dynasty was so far away from me dawan that he wanted to settle the account.
So the king of the Kingdom of Dawan refused the request of the envoys, saying that we are not rare in your gold. The Han envoy was furious, smashed the golden horse, and went back angrily, while dawan guo let the next door Yucheng Wang intercept and kill the Han envoy. When he learned that the envoys of the Han Dynasty had been killed, Emperor Wu of Han, who was far away in Chang'an, was also furious, and he sent Li Guangli, the younger brother of his favorite concubine Lady Li, on a campaign to the western region to attack Dawan.
In 104 BC, Li Guangli, the "general of the Second Division", set out with 6,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 rogues (young men of poor character) recruited from all over the country. This number was not much, because Emperor Wudi of Han listened to the advice of the chancellor and believed that the country of Dawan had fewer soldiers and did not need to send too many people. At that time, the biggest nemesis of the Han Dynasty was the Xiongnu.
The countries of the Western Regions were afraid that if they fell to the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu would be unfavorable to themselves, so Li Guangli went all the way, and the small countries refused to provide him with supplies. This road crossed countless dangers and obstacles, the soldiers fell ill and died, and when they reached Yuchengcheng, the number of people was only more than 10,000. Li Guangli launched an attack on Yu Chengcheng, but the result was a big defeat, and seeing that he could not win, Li Guangli decided to strike.
Walking back to Dunhuang, there were few soldiers left. Li Guangli wrote a note to Emperor Wu of Han, saying that the distance was too far and there was a shortage of grain, and he hoped not to fight the Kingdom of Dawan again. Emperor Wu of Han was furious again, and sent people to block the Jade Gate Pass, saying that whoever dared to come back would die. Li Guangli had no choice but to stay in Dunhuang and did not dare to enter the customs. And some ministers in the imperial court also advised Emperor Wu of Han not to fight the small Kingdom of Dawan anymore, but to fight the Xiongnu with all his might.
Emperor Wu of Han said that a small great Wanguo could not be defeated, so from now on all countries in the Western Regions would despise our Great Han. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han again recruited troops, released a large number of prisoners, and recruited a group of evil youngsters, and gathered countless cattle, horses, grain, strong bows and crossbows, craftsmen, lieutenants, cavalry, and infantry. From the front of the line to the end, it takes 1 day to walk.
Li Guangli greeted this large number of reinforcements and set out again towards the Kingdom of Dawan. Because the momentum of Emperor Wudi of Han's conscription had long been spread, the countries of the Western Regions understood that Emperor Wudi of Han came with the determination to win this time, and there were so many troops and horses of the Han Dynasty that they did not submit to it and could only suffer losses. So they opened the city gates one after another to provide food and water for the Han army, except for a country called "Luntai".
The Luntai state sent troops to fight the Han army, and the Han army spent a few days directly destroying the Luntai state, continuing to advance, and killing all the way to Dawan. Dawan felt that the Han army must be very tired after running for so long, so he chose to attack, and as a result, the strong bows and crossbows of the Han army beat Dawan's cavalry and infantry without the ability to fight back, and Dawan could only retreat, and Li Guangli surrounded the outer city of Dawan.
After more than a month, the outer city was breached, and the nobles of Dawan began to panic, they thought that this was all the fault of the king, so they killed him, asked the Han army for peace, and if they did not agree, they killed the BMW, and the jade was burned. The Han Dynasty agreed, and let Dawan set up a new pro-Han king, Ming Cai, with a large number of sweat and blood BMW, and returned to the dynasty with a mighty wave, and on the way, Yu Chengguo was destroyed by hand, and the two countries were destroyed together.
