Chapter 1021

Every nation has its own characteristics, or character.

Even the most humble people in a nation that has been in a dominant position for a long time have their own "starting point" in vision and thought, especially in the face of foreign races.

It has always been a weak nation. Even the upper class will have limited horizons, let alone talk about ambition. They will be superior in their own nation. When facing the overlord nation, the civilians of a overlord nation can show more pride and self-confidence than them.

Since the name of "Han people", it has experienced difficulties at the beginning, but it soon entered the era of "one Han when five Hu".

The Han people established their hegemony with the remains of countless enemies, and used a once nomadic empire as their stepping stone to declare their strength to the known world.

At a certain historical stage, in those countries (nationalities) that know that there are Han people, the first thought of the Han people must be the idea of "ah, it's the Han father".

Despite the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three groups, as separatist forces, were still able to suppress the fat beating of the surrounding aliens, rely on intrigues and forbearance to steal the ruling power of Sima Jinshi, and rely on their previous reputation to continue to take away the surrounding aliens.

Sima Jinshi took all the glory of the Han people for granted. They thought they could still be domineering. In view of the strength of the Han people, the alien did not dare to jump at first.

When the alien race found that the same race was only renamed Jin people, without the shock of the name "Han people", and the Jin room didn't look very powerful, they tried a little, and really overturned the Jin room to the ground. They found that the guys named Jin people weren't so great.

After becoming Jin people, they suffered unimaginable suffering. People living in enemy occupied areas sometimes die as a relief, and most of their life is better than death. Those who fled to the South have tried to rise and try hard, but it is useless to rise and try hard no matter how. People with aspirations still choose to struggle, and some broken people start all kinds of absurd behaviors.

"Why do we dare to attack with so many people?" Badong was asked by a young man. After thinking about it, he replied, "because we are Han people!"

The young man is still young, about eighteen or nine years old. Their family had just moved from Donglai county to anxidu protectorate. It was less than four months since they settled down. A call for service came to their family.

For people under the age of 20, their growth environment is completely different from that of the previous generation. The sensible stage is when the Han people stand up again.

When they were young, although they lived a hard life, they were not inferior to beasts at least. Every once in a while, they could always hear the adults talking about where the king division won the victory and how many Hu people had been destroyed.

When they wait for adulthood, they already know that their country is the largest power in the world, and the Han people are the greatest nation in the world.

"Yes, we are Chinese." Tai Shiming nodded like a chicken: "a Han man can beat five Hu Lu, and a miscellaneous Hu inferior to Hu Lu can beat at least ten!"

In Zhuxia, Hu Lu was the poorest and ferocious enemy, generally referring to the nomads from the grassland.

Now there are no hooligans. The whole grassland has become a pasture for the Han people. As the textile industry has become an emerging industry, more and more Han people feel that they can make a fortune even by simply herding sheep and selling wool on the grassland. More and more Han people go to the grassland to raise sheep. As a result, there are gradually villages inhabited by the Han people on the grassland.

"It's good to have a heart, just......" Batong is still happy to teach Xinding a lesson from his predecessors: "take it easy on the battlefield."

"Uncle Ba, I'm not stupid." Tai Shiming said happily, "I won't be hot headed and rush to the enemy alone."

Badong comes from Bashu. If calculated according to the clan, his ancestors are Ba people. I don't know from which generation, they became Han people. When Li Chenghan ruled Bashu, they became Ba people again. They waited for Bashu to be liberated by Liu Yan and chose to continue to be Han people.

In the 15th year of Yuanshuo's reign, their family moved to anxidu's Protectorate. Previously, Badong was the first batch of folk Xiaoguo to participate in the recovery of the western regions.

Only when the land reward is allocated to the western regions will Batong pick up his family.

Everyone in the team laughed at Tai Shiming. In their team, Tai Shiming is a young man under the age of 20. The rest are at least over 30. The son of an individual is older than Tai Shiming.

They are all Han people who choose to migrate to anxidu guard mansion to settle down. Some have been here for three or four years, while others have been less than a year.

When they came to settle down in anxidu protectorate, they were told that they would be called up in case of war. They not only had no objection to this, but even felt happy.

Not everyone is staring at the Anxi capital guard. The land they originally owned can be exchanged for at least three times. They mainly value the opportunity to be called up to the battlefield.

In the Han Empire, there was no special ability. The best way to change your destiny was to go to the battlefield.

It is really too difficult to select and enter the regular army. Temporary recruitment has become another option. The Anxi capital guard will be the area most likely to break out of war in any way, and the chance of being temporarily recruited is much more than that in the hinterland.

Those who desperately want to change their fate know that there are too few opportunities to be temporarily recruited in the hinterland. As soon as they bite their teeth, they apply to the government for migration to anxidu guard house.

There will never be a shortage of people who want to change their destiny. Relatively few people really have the courage to take steps to seize opportunities. By the 17th year of Yuanshuo, the number of Han people who settled in anxidu protectorate reached 70000, with a population of nearly 400000.

In fact, this figure has broken through the highest point in history. Over the years... Or more than 50000 Han people have settled in the western regions since the Han people set foot in the western regions, which occurred in the Western Han Dynasty and was forcibly moved by the government.

Li Kuang ordered the conscription of Han people in the area of anxidu Hufu as soldiers. According to the tradition, one family was conscripted, and a Han auxiliary force of more than 70000 people was gathered in less than half a month.

The regular army of anxidu guard house will go to the front line, and some garrison tasks in the rear are handed over to the auxiliary troops.

In addition to ensuring public security, the remaining auxiliary troops also need to cooperate with the relevant administrative personnel of anxidu escort to forcibly recruit people from the western regions.

This time, anxidu's plan is to pull up 200000 cannon fodder from the western people, just because the western people lost too much last time, so it is necessary to prevent the western people from not cooperating.

"They dare not mess." Li Kuang is quite confident about this: "those who have the courage to mess are basically dead. The undead people in the western regions are either timid or careless."

In fact, there is another kind of western people, who obey the Han people and are willing to be a dog for the Han people.

The people of the western regions who have benefited are happy that they have made a fortune. When they become the dogs of the Han people, they have also become a privileged class. While groveling to the Han people, they can still bully the rest of the people.

To say, the western people hate not the Han people, but the same western people. The Anxi capital guard will not lose his share to do the things of anger and resentment in person. He will only send those jobs to the "two devils". What he wants is to enjoy the results and let the people of the western regions carry the hatred on their own.

To some extent, the Han people who migrated to anxidu Prefecture acted as "good people". They accepted the girls in the western regions and were willing to take care of the girls' family to some extent. Isn't that a good man?

The people of the western regions were not "a family", but they had their own country and race before. The Han people were fighting and killing before they came. The Han Empire was such a policy that it was doomed that the people of the western regions could not become "a family" at all. The difference is that there are more dead people.

The source of the penchi river is from the Aral Sea, which is located at the junction of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in Modern Central Asia. It is a salt water lake, extending out of the river. I don't know what kind of change it is. Except for those sections near the Aral Sea, the rest are actually fresh water.

Amu Darya River and SYR Darya River are the largest river systems in that area, and penchi river is one of the tributaries of Amu Darya River.

The east bank and West Bank of the pengchi river look like two worlds. Most of the east bank is a piece of loess at a glance, but the West Bank has a lot of green shade.

In terms of the country's territory, the Pinchi river is actually a boundary line. The east bank belongs to the Han Empire and the west bank belongs to the hunit. Only the last invasion of the anxidu protectorate opened a "no man's land" with a span of 300 Li. The hunit people shrank themselves, but the Han people ignored the concept of territory and settled in.

"We have built three floating bridges before." Huo Dong lit the sand table, looked at Li Kuang and said respectfully, "if necessary, three floating bridges can be built in seven days."

In the large tent of the Chinese army is a sand table four meters long and three meters wide. It strictly copies the surrounding mountains and rivers, so that people can see the terrain and environment within 300 miles when watching the sand table.

The narrowest river surface of the Pinchi river is more than 200 meters wide. The previous choice of floating bridge was to choose a place with a small width.

With the floating bridge, of course, a post will be established. As many people come and go, settlements will be formed around the post.

Li Kuang arrived at the Pinchi river with two divisions and 40000 auxiliary troops. He did not choose to take his troops to the West Bank of the Pinchi river at the first time. He must learn more about the real-time situation and make the next choice.

"The enemy has arrived here." Huo Dong refers to about 40 miles in front of the Pinchi River: "the terrain here is flat and can accommodate the troops."

At the same time, it is also the upper reaches of the Pinchi river.

The penchi river is an inverted "U" shaped River shown on the map. It is very similar to the big river (Yellow River) in the Han Empire, that is, the penchi river is not so long and the river surface is not so wide.

"The number of enemy troops has reached 150000, and there are still unknown numbers in the rear." Huo Dong frowned, smiled bitterly and continued: "the warning point we set in front has played a role, but the information they sent back is a little chaotic."

It is inevitable that not every military unit in the front can find all the enemy forces. It may even confuse the enemy forces found before with the enemy forces seen behind. It is indeed difficult to report how many enemy forces there are.

"They didn't build a camp there." Huo Dong still refers to the plain: "but they don't continue to move forward for the time being. They are constantly waiting for follow-up troops."

Li Kuang had some impressions of that plain. In terms of military value, it is suitable for the army to build barracks and garrison there. At the same time, the surrounding area is actually a situation where there is no danger to defend. Just because it is stationed next to the Pinchi River, it needs to pay attention to the other three sides.

"The army has no less requirements for water sources." Li Kuang was very clear about the marching route of the Army: "since they chose to march along the river bank, the number would not be less than 200000."

If the number of troops is too large, it can't rely on transporting water from other places to solve the water source. In this way, no matter what the size of the army, the planned March route, even if it is not along the bank, will never be far away from the bank.

Li Kuang thought about it and arranged: "one division goes to the West Bank to build fortifications, and the other troops are stationed on the east bank."

The generals naturally responded: "promise!"

The outpost on this side originally had 500 people. After the arrival of the army, they will change their role.

Due to a better understanding of the surrounding terrain, the officers and soldiers of the post will be divided into various forces, basically acting as a guide.

Forty miles west of the pontchi River, marus and eltaba received a report from the reconnaissance horse.

"The Han Army didn't come straight." Malus looked pitiful: "I thought the Han people would kill them without thinking."

Eltaba is constantly frowning.

Many of the troops they sent out to pay attention to the movements of the Han army continued to send back information, but a considerable number of them seemed to have disappeared.

"They are the Han Army, not barbarians." Marus took the performance of the Han army for granted: "only barbarians will foolishly let people master their own trends. As the undisputed first power in the world, how can they be indifferent?"

In every war, the two armies will always compete with those soldiers who are responsible for spying. They are both responsible for spying on the enemy's intelligence and cleaning up the enemy's peers.

"The main reason is that our marching speed is too late to cross the Wuhu River (i.e. the Pinchi River), otherwise..." eltaba cleaned up his mood: "since the Han Army didn't kill them, we can't cross the river and advance eastward before they arrived. Will we camp here or?"

Rivers can generally be used as natural danger for military purposes. They are wondering whether they can fight over them, and there are only 50000 Han troops stationed there.
