After the news spread to the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was furious and felt it was a great shame. He decided to send troops to attack Dawan to avenge himself.
At that time, Li Furen's brother Li Guangli, who was deeply loved by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, became the first choice to lead the army, because Emperor Wu wanted to crusade against Dawan through Li Guangli and establish the prestige of Li Furen's brothers and sisters. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allocated 6,000 elite cavalry and tens of thousands of foot soldiers. Under the command of Li Guangli, he marched into the Western Regions and conquered Dawan.
However, the Dahan dynasty headed by Liang Wudi miscalculated its wishful thinking. Because the Central Plains is a long way from Dawan and there is no coordination of foreign aid from western countries along the way, Li Guangli led a large number of foot soldiers, which caused great difficulties in logistics supply. Due to the harsh desert environment and long-term lack of clothing and food, most staff members died in batches. When the troops arrived at Dawan, the Crusaders suffered serious attrition and low morale, and were soon defeated. When we returned to Dunhuang, there were only 12 people left.
Emperor Liu Che was very angry with his disappointing brother-in-law Li Guangli. He thinks his failure is a great shame, and he can't wait to be killed before he feels revenge. Knowing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to kill him, Li Guangli discussed with his sister Li Furen and had the opportunity to clarify the whole story. Li Guangli wrote to Liang Wudi to report the cause of the failure, saying, "Soldiers are hungry without fighting." In other words, the main reason for the failure of this war is not that soldiers can't fight, but that the road is too long, food and grass can't be supplied, and most soldiers starve to death, which leads to failure.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty carefully considered Li Guangli's report and thought that what he said was also very reasonable, so he decided not to kill him. At the same time, Liang Wudi, who has always made atonement by soldiers, has other plans in his heart: on the one hand, he decided to conquer Dawan again, bring enough food and grass, and coordinate relations with countries in the western regions along the way; On the other hand, he began to set up a captain in the western regions, who was responsible for organizing officers and men to "plow fields and accumulate grain" to provide logistical support for the conquering army and the past Han envoys.
Li Guangli's report of "Hungry without fighting" and his fiasco in Dawan are the main factors and starting points for the ancient Xinjiang to belong to the central government and the central government to implement the strategy of opening up wasteland and defending the border in Xinjiang.
In BC 10 1 year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to plow the fields in the Western Qu. During the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, the cultivated land of the canal was further extended to the adjacent wheel platform, and the cultivated land of Yixun was also increased. Xuan Di, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, began to reclaim land in the front area of the automobile market in order to complete the great cause of unifying the western regions. After the unification of the Western Regions in 60 BC, the Han Dynasty established the Western Regions Duhu in Luntai, appointed Zheng Ji as the first Duhu, and successively settled in Beixuqu and Guchi. Since then, it has gradually set off the climax of the Western Han Dynasty's reclamation and management of the western regions, laying the foundation for the western regions to belong to the central government in the future.
