During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the most powerful of the Tang Empires, Datang also reached a new height militarily. However, in the foreign war, the Tang cavalry once fought against the Arab cavalry in Central Asia, and suffered a fiasco, which was also a battle of Gao Xianzhi's defeat and discredit, and from then on, Gao Xianzhi did not win any victory until his death.
This was the Battle of Qiluo, which Tang Xuanzong did not pay much attention to, but since then the Tang Dynasty's power in Central Asia has greatly declined, and with the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, it has completely withdrawn from Central Asia. Gao Xianzhi was very handsome and brave in battle, which was very much in line with Tang Xuanzong's aesthetic. The Battle of Xiao Bolu made Gao Xianzhi famous, but Gao Xianzhi was indeed not very authentic, and the battle was too risky.
This became two shortcomings of Gao Xianzhi's personality. After becoming an envoy of the Anxi Festival, Gao Xianzhi became the de facto emperor of Central Asia, but he was insatiable in Central Asia and did do some bad things. As a result, the countries of Central Asia turned to the Great Eaters, triggering the Battle of Tiros. Gao Xianzhi, in the case of obvious lack of troops, actually decided to attack the Great Eating Country with all his troops, and the scale of this sneak attack was very large, and the Great Food Country received the news at the beginning and launched a full defense, and the large army led by Gao Xianzhi could only forcibly attack the city of Qiluo.
Gao Xianzhi could not attack for a long time, the Great Food State had already formed a 100,000-strong army to march forward, coupled with the temporary rebellion of Ge Lulu's troops, the Tang army was almost completely destroyed, and only more than a thousand people escaped. After this battle, Gao Xianzhi was defeated and replaced by The Anxi Jiedushi envoy, but the general trend had been added to the Anshi Rebellion, and the power of the Tang Dynasty quickly withdrew from Central Asia, and the Central Asian region was rapidly Muslimized in the following millennium.
