Speaking of Arabs, everyone's first impression is the scum of the war that was broken up by Israel, but the Arabs have actually been broad in history, establishing a large empire across Asia, Europe and Africa, which is the famous "Arab Empire", and also fought a fierce encounter with the Tang Dynasty in Central Asia in 751.
I, Datang, have come to engage in "wanghua education"!
At that time, the Tang Dynasty was still in its heyday, and set up the Anxi Capital Protectorate in the Western Regions. Of course, the purpose of Datang in the Western Regions is to spread wanghua education, so that the backward people in the Western Regions can feel and learn the culture of the Central Plains. However, there are always one or two mischievous students who disobey, such as Che Shiguo, who not only does not study the civilization brought by the Tang Dynasty, but also often runs to the Tubo of the next house to play together. Therefore, Tang Tang decided to use a sword and a sword to let Che Shiguo feel the warmth of the heavenly kingdom.
Gao Xianzhi: If you don't accept wanghua, you will have to be beaten
In 750, Gao Xianzhi took the Tang army to the Cheshi country to spread civilization, it is natural, the weak Cheshi country even with the help of Tubo is not enough, in the face of Gao Xianzhi's dense Tang army behind him, Che Shiguo was moved to the can't do it, and he stole back into the arms of the Tang Dynasty. Gao Xianzhi felt that spreading "kingization" for the Tang Dynasty was the most righteous thing in the world, so he went to the stone country for a circle, and then the stone country was destroyed, no way, who let this stone country not listen to advice.
Originally, the destruction of a stone country was not a big deal for Gao Xianzhi, at most, it was to report a victory to Chang'an, and then continue to teach the people of the stone country to love and protect datang, and to learn the knowledge of datang with an open mind. However, the prince of Shiguo mischievously ran to Dashi and wanted to rely on the power of Dashi to prevent the people of Shiguo from receiving re-education from Datang. It should be noted that this big food is the "Arab Empire" mentioned above.
Arab cavalry
Shi Xianzhi decided to pull the Shi King Zi back, after all, the people of the Shi Kingdom were also the people of the Tang Dynasty, and now the Shi King Zi ran to the Big Food, which was a smuggling ah, and also encouraged the Big Food Country to attack the Western Regions. The behavior of The Stone King's son and the Great Food was really tolerable and intolerable, so Shi Xianzhi decided to preemptively attack.
Tang Jun: Come to PK, my Tang Jun has not been afraid
In April 751, Gao Xianzhi crossed the Green Ridge with the Tang army of the Anxi Capital Protectorate and the combined forces of the Western Regions, and after a three-month long journey, Gao Xianzhi finally reached Qiluo. Here, the Tang army and the Arabs began a sword-and-sword exchange, and both sides were boiling with blood, and they did not distinguish between victory and defeat after five days of fighting. Seeing this, many people will surely say: "This Arab is quite capable of fighting, how did he become a scum of war now?" "It is true that Gao Xianzhi fought with the Arabs, but this expedition to the Tang army was only 20,000 people, even according to the highest record in the Zizhi Tongjian, it was only 30,000, and the Arabs were concentrated on the 200,000 ah. So the five scum of war or the five scum of war, it was before, and it is now.
Battle of TheRos
Originally, Gao Xianzhi was not afraid of the Arabs, after all, the two sides had already cut for five days, and it was a big deal to cut for five days, Gao Xianzhi believed that with the combat strength of the Tang army, it was not a problem to win victory. However, what Gao Xianzhi did not expect was that there were traitors in the Western Alliance army brought over this time, that is, The Gelulu Army suddenly rebelled behind the Tang army and attacked the Tang army back and forth with the Arabs. The Tang army, which had been fighting continuously for five days, was finally defeated by the enemy in the abdomen, and only a few thousand people of the Tang army successfully broke through with Gao Xianzhi.
Although the defeat in the Battle of Qiluo did not shake the dominance of Datang in the Western Regions, Datang also continued to spread civilization in the Western Regions and educate the people of the Western Regions. However, what no one expected was that with the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty and the subsequent Central Plains Dynasty would never have the opportunity to expand their influence to the west of the Onion Ridge, which had to be said to be a pity.
