The battles of other superpowers of the same period as ancient China have always been unknown to everyone, but when it comes to this topic, there is a lot of discussion. The Qin Dynasty had the Kingdom of Macedonia, the Han Dynasty had the Roman Empire, the Tang Dynasty had the Arab Empire, and the Ming Dynasty fought against the Timurid Empire, some countries may be relatively unfamiliar to everyone, but when these countries are mentioned, they will cause great controversy. Everyone always feels that these big countries have some regrets about not fighting, so some netizens with big brains often imagine the picture of the two sides fighting in their minds.
However, the facts are not all like this, ancient China also has those things that we do not know, in fact, ancient Chinese history recorded exchanges and battles with foreign powers, but due to limited records, these histories are gradually forgotten.
As we all know, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were four powerful empires in the world, these four empires were the Eastern Han Dynasty, Rome, Sabbath and Guishuang, of which the Eastern Han and Rome were the strongest, followed by The Sabbath and Guishuang, which are equivalent to today's United States, Russia, Britain and France. If these countries fight, it will certainly be a worldwide hot news, but as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were such great powers fighting, but few people knew about it.
The Guishang Empire was known as "Yueshi" during the Han Dynasty, and the word "Yueshi" first appeared in Chinese history books as a meaning of wine cup. The leader of the powerful Xiongnu Empire, Mo Dundan, destroyed the Yue clan and took the skull of the yue lord as a container for wine. At present, it is generally believed that the population of Yueshi is generally Caucasian, and if this wine vessel is unearthed, it is likely to be the earliest record of mutual communication between China and Caucasians. The fleeing Yueshi people later migrated to southwest Asia, and the Han Wudi Emperor Liu Che sent Zhang Qian out of the Western Regions in order to cooperate with the Yue clan to resist the Xiongnu, but he did not expect that the Yue clan had a good scar and forgot the pain, and the boss's head was toyed with by others.
After the migration of the Moon Empire, they have been working hard to develop a rebuilt country, they drove out the local primitive people, and attacked the powerful Persian Empire to the west, and the South to fight India. After that, the Yue clan, which was divided into five parts, was re-formed into a new powerful empire, and the surrounding small countries feared the Yue clan, so the Yue clan was called "Gui Shuang", but the Han Dynasty felt that it was not smooth to read "Gui Shuang" and still called it the Yue Clan.
The developed Yueshi Empire felt that its right to speak had risen, and it could engage in trade with other big countries, and the Yueshi Lords at that time were known to everyone in the world, and until today northwest India honored Sottlemags as the "Great Savior". He sent emissaries to the Han Dynasty to propose marriage, thinking about the Han Dynasty princess day and night, but the emissaries were detained by the famous general Ban Chao here in the Western Regions Capital Protectorate, and the reason was a bit funny to say, the King of the Moon Clan was too old, and he still thought of the old cow eating tender grass at an old age, which was obviously contemptuous of the Han Dynasty. After that, the Yue clan invaded the western regions administered by the Han Dynasty.
As a well-known Yue monarch, refusing to invade the Han Dynasty is more than that simple, on the surface the King of the Yue Clan wants to ask for relatives, in fact, he is looking at the fat meat of the Western Regions, the Western Regions at that time was a golden road, it was the only way to connect the Han Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, so the Western Regions played a great role no matter when they were placed. Today, the Silk Road is also an indispensable way to open up trade exchanges between Central Asian and West Asian countries. The Yue clan raised 70,000 troops, crossed the Onion Ridge, and attacked the western region. The war is described very briefly in the history books, and it is roughly recorded that Ban Chao reinforced the defense project, and transferred property and materials to make the Yue clan unable to start, and sent soldiers to ambush and kill the reinforcements of the Yue clan, the Guizi Kingdom. The King of the Moon Clan was afraid that Ban Chao would attack him in turn, so he immediately asked for peace. But if you think about it carefully, the 70,000 troops of the Yue Clan and the thousands of soldiers and horses led by Ban Chao fought, and the record will definitely not be so simple.
For the Eastern Han Dynasty, this friction was just a small conflict in a remote area, but for the Yue clan, it was enough to change the fate of the country, and the Yue clan then changed the strategy of foreign attacks, mainly attacking Persia in the west, invading India to the south, destroying a number of small countries in Central Asia and South Asia, greatly expanding its territory and strengthening the prestige of the country. For the east, the Yue clan was greatly suppressed by the Han Dynasty, paying tribute to the Han Dynasty every year.
