" Chang'an 12 time " in the experience that Zhang Xiaojing is in the 8th group, and this group stands fast finally, the mind that does not retreat to death makes a person use a facial expression very.
And of the 8th group " do not retreat " outspread to Chang'an, when on big watchtower beat a drum is roused and going out, hot-blooded spirit of Zhang Xiaojing is waked up once more, become the key that gut continues to advance.
As the one part in installing Xi Tangjun, of Tang Jun of the 8th group in beacon flint fort " do not retreat " the epitome that is this one small unit only.
And in true history, in true An Xijun " do not retreat " more than a the 8th group, more than fort of flint of a beacon, more than also a Zhang Xiaojing.
After bringing Shi Zhi chaos, the An Xitang of the Western Regions staying behind army, oath absolutelies refuse to to retreat, an isolated force stands fast be as long as of half century long, can calls the world the miracle on warlike history.
So is the Tang Jun that doesn't this dare to die retreat how create a miracle?
One: The crisis comesFrom the first year of an era or the reign of an emperor of Wu Zetian long life (692 years) installing government office permanent is protected on the west 30 thousand army begin, an Xijun becomes Tang Chao to be in namely the brigade of a bold of the Western Regions, after this in the time of half many century, circumference of An Xijun freely counts a thousand li, be defeated rarely.
Between Tian Baonian of Tang Xuan an administrative unit in Xizang, an Xijun obtains go on a punitive expedition one after another country of division of small suddenly law, , stone country, dash forward the victory that rides Shi Zhi battle,
Have Shi Yun: Protect new dispatch troops, sent a military uniform in May; Armour and weaponry 2 million, strewn at random gold is smooth, it is the grand setting when describing An Xijun to dispatch troops namely.
However alleged fill decline surely, day treasure 10 years (751 years) , an Xijun of Gao Xianzhi rate is in Da patrol encounters an advantage be fed greatly in Si Zhi battle army in reaching inferior of Zhu Guojun besiege, and what belong to person of arrowroot patrol salary to betray Tang Jun again in the moment of truth, cause An Xijun defeat.
But install Xi Tangjun after all battle force is doughty, still kill a tight encirclement after battlefield suffers a defeat, and east a thousand li on travel was returned how on the west, 20 thousand Tang Jun returns remnant thousands of person.
Those who fill Tang Shi period regaining power is extremely strong, how did actual strength regain namely on the west soon.
Day treasure 12 years (753 years) , succession An Xijie spends made Feng Changqing namely all gets keep under control of big suddenly of An Xijun go out for a battle, one battle and decide; The 2nd year Feng Changqing leads a ministry to be defeated greatly again sow celestial being.
But, as day treasure 14 years (755 years) install Shi Zhi to erupt in disorder, those who install all directions of Xi Tangjun go on an expedition is brilliant stopped abruptly.
For be pacified inland revolting, how is brunt of Tang Jun of boreal front courtyard reached to act under orders on the west inside tone.
Tang Su Zong Zhide 2 years (757 years) the first month of the lunar year, "How on the west, boreal front courtyard and unplug Chinese that, feed Zhu Guobing to come greatly cool, Shan " ; In Feburary, respectful an administrative unit in Xizang comes Feng Xiang; "Gansu is right, how on the west, the arms of the Western Regions all closes " . Respectful an administrative unit in Xizang sees command of Li Si course of study install on the west after picked troops, very glad, say " now Qing Zhi, virtuous at number numerous. The aid of the thing is denied, solid is in dear generation " .
Besides Li Si place of course of study leads 5000 picked troops outside, still have install westing army arms of rate of Sima Liqi skin of the bamboo 7000, equestrian phosphor picked troops 3000.
An Xibing norm is for arms of front courtyard of 24 thousand people, north 20 thousand. The Tang Jun that stays behind that is to say still still has 29 thousand people.
Although look,be like the arms more that stay, but we want to know, in every case has war, the army that hit out often is the most elite motor-driven troops, and those who stay often army of opposite second line.
And how on the west, boreal front courtyard is apart from big Tangneidebi further, want to be arrived at quickly quite, nature is cavalry motor-driven speed the fastest. The An Xibing that accordingly the belt such as Li Si course of study goes back is cavalry mostly, at the same time elite road sword group also therewith answers inland to make the same score betray.
How do these lodge for the night to won't think of the likelihood when answering inland to will be not returned on the west, and stay behind install Xi Tangjun to also won't think of, this is not to part forever unexpectedly, and await them will be grim situation.
Install on the west, the task of Tang Jun of boreal front courtyard is via summary the Western Regions, loading to resist on the west feed greatly, the task of Tibetan regime in ancient China of Xiang Na keep within limits.
After installing Shi Zhi to erupt in disorder, the concern that Tang Yu feeds greatly is very good, still one part feeds army to assist smooth rebel to Tang Chao inland greatly. What because this installs Xi Tangjun,face basically is the Tibetan regime in ancient China that delay crosses gas to come.
But Tibetan regime in ancient China still is not considered temporarily on how on the west, is this why?
Inside the time of nearly half century because of treasure of Tang Xuan Zong Kaiyuan, day, tang Jun brunt basically is resort to arms of pair of Tibetan regime in ancient China, light is to be in Gansu is right with the river stock Tang Jun reached more than 40010 people on the west, occupied Cheng Tang nearly 1/3 what 10 big edges press down total minitary force.
Treasure of day of Tang Xuan an administrative unit in Xizang 8 years (749 years) , life Gansu west section is spent on make elder brother easy writings brush right, river reachs Shuai Long on the west Tujue A Busai arms, beneficial with new moon Dong Bing of square, river, every 63 thousand,
Fight this, what everybody knows is Tang Jun held stone fort city with counting the cost of casualty to be seized successfully, and captive arms of 400 Tibetan regime in ancient China will.
Actually Tang Jun's casualty is not seize city of the fort that take rock to cause, because this land is very important to Tibetan regime in ancient China, a reason that Wang Zhongsi's general does not wish to assault easily before is " Shi Bao originallies nearly, the whole nation of Tibetan regime in ancient China and defend " ;
Again the day treasure before 2 years (743 years) , the Gansu west section at that time is spent when making Huangfu Weiming attacks stone fort town, it is the sudden arrival because of reinforcements of Tibetan regime in ancient China, and meet with around converging attack and be defeated, return die in the last ditch deputy brag a surname.
Because of the arrival of Shu Hanjun of this elder brother, tibetan regime in ancient China does not send reinforcements impossibly, shi Zaitang army " its Xiang Wu talks birds appearance Guo " ,
But no matter how, stone fort city is to be taken.
Danger of this city relief if on one hand, more important is strategic position is highlighted, yuan seventeen years (729 years) the section spends Gansu on the west make plum after Dai takes next Shi Bao cities with incursion means, "Zhu Jun of naturally river, Gansu swims ground of play chess develop more than 1000 lis " , tibetan regime in ancient China at sue for peace of the 2nd year of Xiang Tang.
After Ge Shuhan takes next stone fort cities, tang Jun captured again Hong Ji, Damomen, 5 bridges, Shu Duicheng, the ground of river Huang is controlled by Tang Jun completely almost, plus before the Ying Longcheng in the build on Qinghai lake, tang Jun forms whole defense system in Qinghai a gleam of.
After this defence is finished, day treasure 13 years (754 years of) , ge Shuhan stands please again irrigate this world of river, Tao two county build Ning Bian, power get the better of, fierce of Jin Tian, Wu Ning, boast, day is become, plan of Zhen Wei, god 8 army.
The Tibetan regime in ancient China at that time, xiang Na is a the Himalayas, force develops hard; To on the west, former the country such as law of pilot small suddenly already returned afresh the Tang Dynasty; Eastwards, tang Jun had taken the city that install army, tibetan regime in ancient China already was extended feebly; The most important north way, because install Xi Tangjun's existence, encroach on the Western Regions is impossible already; And be in advocate directional Qinghai, beat even battle repeatedly, still lost river Huang valley, was oppressed completely by Tang Jun on highland.
The downy production value of the area is lower, and the give aid and support that Tibetan regime in ancient China lost circumjacent resource ground is additional, actual strength more and more empty. If not installs Shi Zhi to erupt in disorder later, tibetan regime in ancient China may be not maintained.
But after installing Shi Zhi to erupt in disorder, river on the west, brunt of Gansu right Tang Jun east tone, tibetan regime in ancient China welcomed the opportunity that breath eventually, the nature that its cast the first stone is the Tang Jun foothold of Qinghai a gleam of.
Had been squelched as a result of Tibetan regime in ancient China tens of year, accordingly its attack also be gradual change sex, after nevertheless brunt smokes Tang Jun, gansu right line of defense is real too too empty, accordingly army of Tibetan regime in ancient China still is again and again procurable.
Shi Zai " city of border of the barback when formering does not have equipment beforehand, male yuan later, tibetan regime in ancient China takes my space, town of day frown border, or kill to sweep past disaster to hurt, or turn dead gully. After several years, of Feng Xiang on the west, the north of Zuo city, use up the condition that luxuriant armies, the person that flood tens of cities.
The first year of an era or the reign of an emperor of wide heart of Tang Dynasty an administrative unit in Xizang (763 years) , tibetan regime in ancient China uses up defect orchid, river, outline, Shan, face, Min, the Qin Dynasty, into, the ground with the right Gansu such as short for Weihe River; Wide heart 2 years (764 years) hind, tibetan regime in ancient China occupational and other places of cool city, Gan Zhou, sanded city, respectful city, melon city,
During, army of Tibetan regime in ancient China still is attacked for a time entered Chang'an.
Right now, install Shi Zhi to had ended in disorder, but Tong closes to the south of area Tang Dynasty military govenor is bristly, tang Zhong center also cannot concentrate countrywide power again, its can pilot army can preserve Caesarean centre authority constrainedly only, as to corridor of westing of get through river, and with join forces of Tang Jun of the Western Regions, had been impossible.
River on the west, Gansu is right all cities although rich and popular of hinterland of Tang Chao of be not a patch on, but more ambitious than each district of Tibetan regime in ancient China much, its come through plunder a large number of population and fortune, actual strength restored quickly to rise.
And the Tibetan regime in ancient China that restores to rise is in Oriental to (it is Chang'an actually) dozen after was not being moved, begin to deliver the view to the Western Regions, an Xijun's biggest crisis comes eventually.
2: An Xijun is pressed downDuring bringing Shi Zhi chaos, the passageway has not interrupt the river on the west, tang Zhong center and An Xishang have certain connection, install to unite a leadership Tang Jun stays behind on the west, guo Ziyi's nephew -- before cloud command general, Zun Wu defends imperatorial Guo Xin to act under orders, stroke toward An Xixun, install to hold the post of after 4 towns stay on the west.
Alleged the meaning that after staying, acts as agent namely, the brunt of 4 towns military forces is in at that time inland, the 4 towns section of the card is spent make exist all the time, but after the river is isolated by Tibetan regime in ancient China on the west, spend in outback section actually make cannot witting how on the west situation, place's specific defense is in charge of by the person such as Guo Xin.
At that time, although Tang Jun brunt answers division inland, but how 4 towns Tang Chao had managed more than 100 years however on the west; From permanent of Wu Zetian period 30 thousand soldiers come at that time, also had had time of about 70 years, formed whole garrison system already, because this Tibetan regime in ancient China is right the attack of 4 towns is not successful.
Install on the west 4 towns, it is chelonian at first over sixty years of age of at present, Yan, Yu Tian, scanty strap, later the change as the situation, in order to break the leaf replaced Yan over sixty years of age, because this still is 4 towns.
So called " town " those who point to is Tang Chao prevents an orgnaization in the collect of border land, " new Tang Shu " carry: Tang Chu, by the side of Bing Zhishu person, say greatly army, small say defend catch, say town.
Install on the west 4 towns, be how is government office protected to be in on the west day hill with south the army town of core oasis region, besides be stationed in a city besides, OK still nearby have garrison troops or peasants open up wasteland and grow food grain, control the small country of the Western Regions around. 4 towns army city is magisterial call guard to make, every town has the garrison that thousands of person differs about.
But install 4 towns are not to say how to the Tang Jun of government office is protected to have these 4 cities only on the west on the west, actually 4 towns are merely everywhere main forces is pressed down just, in there still is 2 classes town, 3 classes garrison post under army town.
Be like most inside the limits of town of chelonian at present of core, send relics of city of disinter the Tang Dynasty to have 30 place about nowadays, specific see all at history have batch change a garrison post. Batch change a town to change a city the earliest to dial, promote is a town after.
" Chang'an 12 time " in the beacon flint fort of the 8th round defend to the last is dialing Zhang Xiaojing namely change a city to be in 30 lis with north.
The Tang Cheng relics that sends disinter nowadays inside Yan Qizhen limits has about 15 place; In the Tang Cheng that presses down the discovery inside limits at Tian relics arranges 5 place; In the Tang Cheng that discovers inside the scanty limits that force an ease relics has 3 place.
See all at history have: Connect city of city of mountain of the sea, green, bank, Lan Cheng, Hu Nu, solid, Ji Liang, An Fu to wait.
Afore-mentioned each city some are 2 class army town, some is caught to defend, some is to defend those who catch promote to become army town. Alcalde official is guard to make, defend catch catch to defend make, because be not one class army town, its garrison is so not as much as the mainest 4 towns minitary force.
In Anxide then the area was formed with 4 towns army city is core, the network defense system that the army city of army town forms a large number of 2 rank, still have between each town defend catch, the duty such as the responsible contact contact such as beacon flint, army chirp, dak and early-warning, scout.
How is government office protected on the west presidential area, it is desert desert mostly, army city of Tang Jun is stationed in the pass crossing with be in important and the oasis that have source of water around, come from afar the enemy of aggression, take all Tang Jun city very hard inside short time entirely, and its army can be immersed in long word again in the predicament that logistics shorts.
Tang Chao sets " the ground that press down defend is arable person, the person gives 10 mus in order to offer food " , because this is installed on the west there basically is have garrison troops or peasants open up wasteland and grow food grain near army town, only the have garrison troops or peasants open up wasteland and grow food grain that chelonian thises to have about 100 thousand mus, chase to enrich " .
Install so on the west garrison is OK oneself produce grain to make offerings to, this makes the condition that the aggression of enemy often is immersed in him not to have grain, anhydrous, and An Xijun is wait at one's ease for an exhausted enemy.
Tibetan regime in ancient China reachs Wu Zetian period in Tang Gaozong, ever seized 3 times occupy how on the west 4 towns, because Tang Jun is in at that time,this basically is the Western Regions only permanent thousands of soldier just, system of 4 towns defense had be notted form.
To Wu Zetian later period, whole defense system is able to build, divide again later went out boreal front courtyard protects government office, two protect government office Tang Jun mostly regular amount is 44 thousand people, install had not also razziaed again to the Tibetan regime in ancient China when bringing Shi Zhi chaos from this on the west.
Tibetan regime in ancient China razziaed river on the west later, how the biggest crisis comes from on the west at this one direction. Because before be, here is to bring the rear area on the west, have a river the section is spent on the west make garrison of presidential about 70 thousand army, because this installs Xi Jun,won't go defence river west to.
This makes the charge that An Xijun faces south of Tibetan regime in ancient China and east, held a river the Tibetan regime in ancient China on the west army still but resort to arms of direct and northerly front courtyard.
The defense system that before support is like the Tang Jun of front courtyard of Dan Anxi, north, narrates resisted main forces of Tibetan regime in ancient China round of another round aggression, army of Tibetan regime in ancient China often 10 years, cannot take a Tang Cheng 20 years.
Tang Dezong is built in 2 years (781 years of) , dispatch of Tang Jun of the Western Regions makes bypass answered Gu to arrive at Chang'an, in the center of Tangchao only then know this to support an isolated force still standing fast, that one evening is whole Chang'an does not have Mian.
Instruct below excited Tang Dezong: 4 towns, 2 front courtyard, all holds the post of the Western Xia regime 57 luxuriant 10 surnames are tribal, country since face, second rate duty. Close oneself, Gansu fall, thing block absolutely, loyally apprentice, wail to be defended, careful solid is sealed slightly, give honour face way, all await Bai Shoujiang to hand in repair the be caused by that manages in all also.
At the same time he still appoints section of Yi northwest front courtyard to spend make Li Yuanzhong, the front courtyard that it is north is protected mostly; 4 towns section spends the Guo Xin after staying, to how be protected mostly on the west, 4 towns section is spent make. How on the west, boreal front courtyard stands fast Tang Jun,
Nevertheless, imperial approbation is unalterable bring the state that an isolated force stands fast on the west, when the praise that brings Xi Jun emissary in vain to taking an emperor gradually when hair on the temples leaves Chang'an town, they understand this also will be answered again did not come, an Xijun must rely on him.
3: Oath absolutelies refuse to to retreatAfter emissary goes back, install on the west, the Tang Jun of boreal front courtyard still is very glad, by interval of Tibetan regime in ancient China more than 10 years, they heard the news that comes from birthplace eventually.
But at the moment, as An Xibing, install on the west person, these hero people the meaning that succumbs without, had stood fast after all so old, stand fast all one's life might as well? Want us to be in only, this Tang Qi won't topple!
The Tang Dynasty at the beginning of heart Zong Zhenyuan year (after 785 years) , dignitary is realized empty (law order is law group at that time) come all right how on the west, " realize enter Zhu Ji for nothing " in account:
Gradually scanty strap, shi Wangpei is cold, guard makes Lu Yang, tarry in May; Second as to Tian, sa Dana of Buddhist cloud Qu, wang Wei sunlights behindhand, guard makes Zheng lives according to delaying June; Ci Weirong city country of Yi Mingbo wash, saying fear corrupt country, guard makes Su Cen; Second get a city to make according to a twenty-five-stringed plucked instrument Gu Quan, second to install on the west, 4 towns section is spent make government office appearance collects with 3 department right medicinal powder ride constant Shi Anxi is protected mostly hold Guo Xin of drive history doctor concurrently.
Realize later lived one year in Qu Zhicheng again for nothing superabundant, arrived the 2nd year again Long Rulin of Wu Qiguo king, guard makes Yang Riyou, delay stay in March; How did city of boreal front courtyard reach again on the west oneself, saw Yang Xi is ancient.
Visible, to after bringing Shi Zhi chaos 20 years, how on the west, boreal front courtyard still controls the hand in Tang Jun in. But, situation of right now the Western Regions already notted allow however hopeful.
Fill Tang Shi period, garrison of the Western Regions comes from outback recruit mostly, the Western Regions at that time lives without a large number of inlander. In river westing corridor expedite, tang Chaoguo situation still is in when, can carry vacancy soldiers to the Western Regions ceaselessly, but how cannot also accomplish again however after Shi Zhi is random.
Then Tang Jun of the Western Regions hits less more, be worth young soldier in those days, nowadays already is the person arrives middleaged; And middleaged at that time Tang Jun officerses and men, had been full head white hair. Garrison people have a plenty of mouth of the belt that carry the home, but in difficult war, the amount of next generation also is little little, each city fielding is afterwards hard gradually.
Tang Dezong chastity yuan 5 years (789 years) , tibetan regime in ancient China combines Tujue of arrowroot patrol salary, supercilious look to attack boreal law court again. Tang Jun of boreal front courtyard leads to issue combination to answer Gu in Yang Xi's ancient general to it decisive battle, but Tang Hui allied forces fails, 2000 people withdraw soldier of incomplete of Yang Xi ancient rate protect on the west city, fall of boreal front courtyard.
Gu internal power is answered to connect occurrence problem later, changed a few cham one after another, effective interconnected system army Gan Jia of old photograph Jie this as ancient as Yang Xi place leads leftover Tang Jun to be at war to fail again with allied forces of Tibetan regime in ancient China once more, for shirk responsibility, jie Ganjia this lead Yang Xi's ancient general to kill after big run, do not have Tang Jun again from this north front courtyard.
Tibetan regime in ancient China also is casualties this in big fight disastrous, shi Zai " casualty is quite heavy, it is conscript to be searched at seeking, want 10 thousand people " , mou Xin is Nanzhao king, be about to go up from footman country 10 thousand soldiers, the vigour of visible Tibetan regime in ancient China is hurt greatly, also see its at the same time the persistence to the war.
Boreal front courtyard already was taken already, answer Gu to also be beaten, person of arrowroot patrol salary also makes ally of Tibetan regime in ancient China, installed Xi Tangjun to had been immersed in the condition that is surrounded by all sides in the center.
Be worth the Guo Xin's challenge with strong blueness to already passed fifty years old nowadays in those days, and the An Xibing of his at hand people also in the main such, they are recumbent oneself force had stood fast more than 20 years.
Tang Chao's emperor, cong Xuanzong changed respectful an administrative unit in Xizang, from respectful ancestor changed Dai Zong, cong Daizong changed heart an administrative unit in Xizang again, how be still on the west however in Tang Jun hand.
They were accomplished truly " do not move China, not service benefit division, the horizontal stroke makes thousands of lis, have complementary car the head and the tail should. With power in order to conceive, piece I am right assist, ling Zhen at absolutely region, intense cuts Yu Xixian " !
However what everybody did not think of is, this in senile Tang Jun is in again in a steady stream of hundred thousands of enemy is constant in besieging, stood fast ten years again.
Tangxian Zongyuan mixes 3 years (808 years of) , how was town of final chelonian at present left only on the west, suburban it is main forces of on 10 thousand picked Tibetan regime in ancient China, and full head white hair is inside the city " hoary head army " .
Guo Xin's general has been in the Western Regions more than 40 years, in the bloody battle of nearly half century, his armature already no longer bright, his Dao Jian also already no longer sharp, but his eyes however still sturdy.
In the east of city of chelonian at present, it is big the Tang Dynasty capital Chang'an, and below the general's foot, it is how is an administer land with last seat of government protected on the west. Do not have a road to be able to be retreated, also do not want to retreat!
Ring when the war drum pound that does not decline, final An Xijun meets the army of Tibetan regime in ancient China that emerges like tidewater head-on, arms of white hair the Tang Dynasty was given out with last effort howl in succession, but building of the each cut city wall that mounds to did not this in chelonian along with even if, each office, each street.
The bright blood stream of following was used up, general Guo Xin also walked along the at the last gasp of life, topple when the general when, appear in brain echo install to come at the beginning of oneself in those days on the west the sound when:
Do this go to the general why be?
Defend Bian Kangdi!
If go be not being answered?
Be not answered!
