Most people have the impression that the mainland is always in a position of aggression, and occasionally several foreign wars are forced to fight back, but this is just an illusion caused by the fiasco of recent history. In fact, historical records of Han regimes invading other countries are not uncommon.
Qin Dynasty Expeditions to the South:
After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he launched two southern expeditions, thus conquering the land of Baiyue in one fell swoop. The first time: In the 28th year of Qin Shi Huang (219 BC), the 500,000-strong army of the Qin state went south in five routes, of which the Qin army, which was marching east from present-day Jiangxi, won a complete victory and successfully captured the land of Eastern Ou and Minyue, where the state of Qin was in central Min, and the other four routes suffered a crushing defeat. The second time: In the thirty-third year of Qin Shi Huang (214 BC), Qin Shi Huang built a spiritual canal, once again sent an army of 100,000 to the south, and captured the land of Lingnan in one fell swoop, setting up three counties here: Nanhai, Guilin and Xiangxun. In the Baiyue region of China at that time, there were many Fang states, tribes and tribes in the pre-Qin period. For example, the Luoyue tribe of the Baiyue branch, the ancient country of Luoyue established by it; Baiyue branch of the Xiou tribe, the establishment of the ancient state of Xiou; The Baiyue branch is the Minyue tribe, and the ancient state of Minyue established by the Baiyue branch. It was precisely because of Qin Shi Huang's southern conquest of the Hundred Yue Battle that led to the destruction of many hundred Yue countries, tribes and tribes.
The Han Dynasty destroyed Dawan: In the fourth year of the early Tai Dynasty (101 BC), because the king of Dawan refused to provide sweat and blood horses, and killed the Han Dynasty envoys, Emperor Wudi of Han ordered Li Guangli to expedition to Dawan, and small countries along the way did not dare to resist, and they opened the city to welcome and provide supplies, and the only resistance was also breached, facing the Han Dynasty army, civil strife broke out in Dawan, the king of Dawan was killed, and the ministers and nobles surrendered. In the third year of Yuan Feng (108 BC), Emperor Wudi of Han ordered Zhao Ponu to lead an army of tens of thousands to attack the state of Che Shi and Loulan, and successively attacked the two countries, of which Loulan submitted.
The Han Dynasty destroyed the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions: At that time, the Han army passed through the Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions were unwilling to provide food and water to the Han army, and every time these countries closed the city gates to resist the Han army, so Li Guangli ordered the Han army to attack these countries that did not open the city gate one by one, and then there were stubborn resistors after the city was broken and all slaughtered, the Luntai area of Xinjiang Uygur was slaughtered by the Han army after the city was broken because of the closed city gate and refusal to meet the Han army, and after several displays of force, these small countries in the Western Regions no longer dared to resist the Han army. In the following years, they all returned to the Han Dynasty and became vassals of the Han Dynasty.
Tang Dynasty destroys Goguryeo: In 667, Li Ji led his troops to attack the new city of Goguryeo, and attacked sixteen cities in a row; After the Goryeo army marched to Jinsan, Xue Ingui cut off the Goryeo army, then defeated the Goryeo army, and then pursued with victory, capturing three cities in succession. In 668, Xue Ingui took only 3,000 men and horses and then attacked Buyeo Castle, an important town of Goryeo. Because Xue Rengui's troops were very small, all his subordinates advised him to be careful, but Xue Rengui said: "The soldiers are in the ability to use, not in the number of people." Under his command, the Goryeo army was completely unable to resist, not only winning more with less, but also capturing more than 10,000 people. Subsequently, the remaining forty or so cities in Buyeo River were afraid of fighting Xue Rengui, so they chose to surrender. Then, Xue Ingui and Yi Ji met in the capital of Goryeo and surrounded Pyongyang tightly; Soon Pyongyang fell and Goguryeo perished.
