Just as Chen Yi was concentrating on practicing riding horses and archery, a battle was fiercely kicking off in the bitter and cold frontier in the distance, and the Han army was undergoing an unprecedented test. The Eastern Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions fell to the extreme, so it had basically no communication with the Western Regions. Liu Xiu knew that he was not good at Zhongxing's national strength, so he gave up his control over the Western Regions and gave up the means of sending the Western Regions. From then on, the Han Dynasty gave up the Western Regions. From then on, there were only four parts left in the Eastern Han army: the Jiyou Bingzhou Border Army, the Western Qiang Border Army, and the Liangzhou Border Army. The Xiliang Border Army and the Western Qiang Border Army had many soldiers of ethnic minority blood, but the most traditional ones were the Jiyou Border Army and the Bingzhou Border Army.

The Huns have been a major concern for the Central Plains dynasty since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor sent general Meng Tian to attack the Huns, but then the First Emperor died. The second emperor colluded with Zhao Gao to seize power, killing the eldest son Fusu and the general Meng Tian. Although there was a leading Wang Li, Wang Li was much worse than the outstanding and fierce Meng Tian. Therefore, the Huns began to become arrogant. In addition, the Huns moved from loose to united within the Huns and had a perfect leadership core, the national strength of the Huns increased day by day. The corresponding Qin Dynasty was because of the continuous peasant uprisings and the national strength was constantly weakened, and the internal chaos was in chaos. The border troops were constantly drawn back to the country to quell the rebellion. The Great Wall line of defense was constantly broken through due to lack of personnel defense. The Huns began to infiltrate and destroy the mainland, and burn, kill, looting, and did everything evil at that time.

Because of this reason, the national strength of the Huns continued to rise. The Huns themselves did not produce them. Some key materials could only be achieved through robbery. For example, iron, food, and even women were within the scope of robbery. The border areas were deeply harmed. The same was true at the border with the Qiang border at that time. The situation was very chaotic. After all, it was the feudal era. At that time, even the most basic concept of preferential treatment of prisoners did not exist in modern times, and there was no need to talk to them about other things.

During the Chu-Han war, all the princes began to use other forces, and the Huns were no exception. Due to everyone's indulgence and secret transactions, the Huns were even more plundering from the mainland. Originally, Jizhou and other places, there were gradually nine out of ten families. After Liu Bang finally unified the world and cleared the domestic rebellion, he was ready to start attacking the Huns. So a famous scene in Chinese history - the Siege of Bai Deng.

The dignified Emperor of Han, Emperor Gaozu of the dynasty, was trapped and killed by others. Finally, he came up with such a very detrimental method to escape. However, until the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, the Han Dynasty could only choose to use marriage methods to compromise. The Han Dynasty, which had been tolerant, finally showed its power. "Those who offend me, will be punished even if they are far away!!!" Groups of great Han soldiers went to the battlefield with such noble beliefs. They sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. In order to protect the elders, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters behind them, and the Han men defended the glory of the motherland with their own passion.

In 127 BC, Wei Qing and Li Xi came out of Yunzhong County, passed through Gaoque to Fuli (now northern Gansu), and won the victory of the Henan battle and captured the Henan area (Hetao area south of the ridge of Yinshan Mountain). Shuofang County was established in the Han Dynasty. The following year, the lieutenant Su Jian was sent to lead 100,000 people to build the Great Wall at the Fulu of Yinshan Mountain.

In the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC), Huo Qubing left Longxi and annihilated the troops of King Hunxi. He crossed more than 1,000 miles of Yanzhi Mountain, won the Battle of Hexi, won Longxi, and set up four counties of the governor of Liangzhou. The Huns lamented: "The destruction of my Qilian Mountains will prevent my livestock from surging; the loss of my Yanzhi Mountain will make my women look colorless." The Huns' Chanyu hated that King Hunxie had lost his troops and generals, and King Hunxie and King Xiutu were afraid, so he surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Yuanshou in Emperor Wu of Han (119 BC), Huo Qubing led his army northward to more than 2,000 miles, crossed the Houshan Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, fought with the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's troops, annihilated 70,000 enemies, captured the Xiongnu Tuntou King, Han King and 83 generals, prime ministers, danghu, and Duwei, and took advantage of the victory to chase Langjuxu Mountain (now the Hang Ai Mountains in the northern part of Mongolia), held a ceremony to worship the sky at Langjuxu Mountain, and advanced to Hanhai (now the desert area north of the Hang Ai Mountains), and returned to the army.

"The wolf was sealed in Xushan, and Zen was in Guyan, climbed to Hanhai, and seized the 7443 level of Chou." After that, "the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south." The Han Dynasty temporarily solved the problem of the Huns' invasion. By 112 BC, the Qiang people joined forces to rebel with the Huns. Historical records: "The Western Qiang rebelled with the Huns, and they joined envoys to attack Gu'an, surrounded Baohan. The Huns entered Wuyuan and killed the prefect." Han Shizong gathered 180,000 cavalry in 111 BC the following year to patrol the northern tour, intending to show that the national strength was intimidating the Huns.

In the sixth year of Yuanshou (117 BC), Huo Qubing died of illness at the age of 24. He was invincible in his life. He attacked the Huns for six times, captured more than 120,000 enemies, and captured more than 40,000 people. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were the well-deserved backbone of the Han Dynasty (Comrade Li Guang was born with unlucky luck, otherwise he would not be inferior to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.) Infantry galloped across the desert, and this was definitely the only one in the history of cold weapon wars in the whole world. Such a glorious record fully experienced the true nature of our dynasty.

However, although so many brilliant achievements have been listed, those can only be passed. Today's Han border army, although the soldiers' men's nature is still there, the court is no longer the mighty Han court, and the emperor is not the wise and martial Emperor Wu of Han Emperor Liu Che. The border army is now living a worse day by day. From the beginning, they have no worries about food and clothing to the gradual gradual unclothed and unfilled food, the difference is really different. However, at least there are still supplies sent from the mainland every day. However, some people who cannot stand the gap between ideals and reality have fled from this military camp full of blood and glory. The remaining people are still on the last line of defense on the frontier here. Looking at the Huns riding horses and carrying bows and arrows not far away, everyone dared not relax their vigilance.

Song Liang has been in this border for 20 years and is already a captain, but he cannot make decisions here without authorization. However, with the experience of storm and blood licking on the tip of the knife for the past twenty years, it seems that he will soon have another battle experience. He is no longer the simple soldier. Now he only hopes to live a simple life. After all, his two children are twelve years old. He doesn't want his beloved wife and his lovely pair of twins to worry about him. However, the Huns wandering outside do not seem to know what they think, otherwise they would not have come to this border to wander around in groups this month, and the number and frequency of people are increasing.

This is not a good sign. Song Liang thought to himself, and chewed the millet cake in his hand. Suddenly a soldier asked him to go to the Central Army to discuss matters. He knew that things were not that simple. Another wonderful drama was about to begin.
