"The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei"? What is it? Shen Long opened his mobile phone and searched it, and found that this was actually a hot advertisement, what the hell is this? Advertising is still so popular? Shen Long found this advertisement with doubts, watched it carefully, and after watching it, he was also moved by this advertisement.

This sixteen-minute ad tells the story of the Anshi Rebellion in 755 AD, when An Lushan launched a rebellion, and the Anshi Rebellion broke out; The Central Plains army has been abandoned for a long time, lacks combat effectiveness, and is difficult to compete with An Lushan's army; In order to quell the rebellion, tens of thousands of elite Anxi troops were sent to the Central Plains, and only a few thousand were stationed in the Western Regions.

At that time, Tufan had coveted the Western Regions for a long time, and took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's border defense forces to withdraw troops and internal chaos, and sent troops to occupy the Gansu region that connected the Western Regions with the Tang Dynasty, cutting off the only connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains; In 766 A.D., thousands of lone soldiers began to defend the Western Regions alone, looking at Chang'an in the east, Tang Tu in the west, and the enemy army in the middle, which was the situation of the Anxi army at that time.

In 781 A.D., that is, in the second year of Jianzhong, the secret envoy of the Western Regions contacted Chang'an, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that the Western Regions had not been lost, and the soldiers were still guarding the border of the Tang Dynasty. The story of this film takes place 9 years later, that is, in 790 AD, one of the four towns of Anxi, Khotan, fell, and the remnants of the army fled from the city and became homeless, at this time only Qiuci and Xizhou were left in the Western Regions.

Guo Yuanzheng, who was in charge of transporting military expenses, fainted after being attacked, and when he woke up, he found Lu 14, who had come to throw money, Lu 14 was a remnant of the soldiers who had escaped from Khotan, and he carried a letter to the family members of his army, and the two of them went to Xizhou, the destination of this trip, with military expenses.

Although they carried several large bags of money, these two hungry veterans, faced with the wine and barbecue meat in the wine shop, only chose to ask the shopkeeper for a bowl of water to drink; On the way, they met the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and the merchants asked them, but our army of the Tang Dynasty is coming back? The two were speechless, and the merchant could only regretfully put down the food and water and left.

They encountered strong winds in the desert, sand and dust flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the only horse used to carry the money died, and they chose to carry the money to Xizhou City, even if they climbed it, they had to climb over, because these were given to the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were isolated and helpless under the siege of the enemy but still held on. ”

They encountered bandits blocking the way, although there were only two veterans, but they were all elites of the Tang Dynasty, and finally defeated the bandits, but Guo Yuanzheng fell; Lu Shishi, who originally planned to return to Chang'an with the money, was deeply moved, and continued to climb towards Xizhou City step by step with the money, and finally sent the money to the Xizhou City garrison.

Lu Shixi led the horse out of the city gate, and suddenly remembered the loud military song of the Tang Army: "In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not yet returned." But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain", "Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”

Ma Dan, it's obviously just an advertisement, why do I have sand in my eyes! Shen Long wiped his eyes, and then began to replay this advertisement, and watched it three times in a row before he sighed, how many such touching and proud stories are there in the history of the Chinese nation.

In the land where the story takes place, Shen Long has heard two stories similar to this advertisement: the story of the thirteen soldiers returning to Yumen, and the story of Zhang Yichao's return to the righteous army.

In 74 AD, the Eastern Han Dynasty re-established the Western Regions Protectorate and appointed Geng Gong and Guan Chong as Wu Lieutenants; In the following year, the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu sent 20,000 elite soldiers to attack the Che Division, killed the Che Shi Hou Wang, and instead attacked the Geng Gong garrison where hundreds of people were stationed and besieged it into the city

At this time, when Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty died and had no time to send troops, the rescue army did not arrive, and Che Shiguo betrayed the Han Dynasty and joined forces with the Xiongnu to attack Geng Gong; The Han soldiers ran out of food and were in trouble, they boiled crossbows and ate their tendons, refused the surrender of the Xiongnu, and held the city; Until Emperor Zhang succeeded to the throne, only sent troops to defeat the Xiongnu, when the reinforcements came to Geng Gong to defend the city, there were only 26 people left in the city, and when they returned to Yumen Pass with the Han army, only thirteen Han soldiers remained.

Later generations created an oil painting "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Jade Gate" based on this theme, in which the thirteen soldiers were ragged and withered, but there was a sense of perseverance in their eyes.

It is said that one of the thirteen soldiers also undertook the same task as him, and the veteran of the Han Dynasty who lived to the end spent the rest of his life sending letters to his comrades, and all 757 letters were delivered to the grandchildren of this person.

Geng Gong and these thirteen soldiers were lucky, because at that time the Han were still strong, and they could still send a large army to rescue them and recover the lost territory; Guo Xin, Guo Yuanzheng and others were unlucky, because at that time the Tang Dynasty was still too weak to come to their rescue, and eighteen years after Lu Shishi sent the money to Qiuzi City, Anxi Town finally fell.

Forty-one years later, Zhang Yichao scattered all his wealth, led the people of all ethnic groups in Shazhou to revolt, expelled the Tubo entrenched in the Hexi region, and opened up more than 4,000 miles of territory in the name of the Guiyi Army.

He also sent an envoy to Chang'an to convey the message of the restoration of the sandbank, and the messenger to Chang'an brought back praise and praise from the Tang Empire, which made Zhang Yichao's rebel army even more morale.

In the fifth year of Dazhong (851 AD), Zhang Yichao led his army to launch a large-scale military offensive against Tibet, and the decadent rule of Tubo in Hexi immediately collapsed, and the Tibetan armies in various states often fled when they heard the wind and retreated to Liangzhou; By August of this year, Zhang Yichao's army had recovered all the prefectures and counties in the entire Hexi Corridor except Liangzhou, and Hexi finally returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In August, Zhang Yichao sent a large-scale messenger team to Chang'an for the second time, carrying the maps of 11 prefectures in Hexi (Guazhou, Shazhou, Yizhou, Xizhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Lanzhou, Shanzhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, and Kuozhou) into Chang'an.

"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain", "Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”

Shen Long sang these two military songs at the end of the advertisement, the tunes of these two songs are actually not in the style of the Tang Dynasty, but it does not affect Shen Long's immersion in this history at all.

At the end of the song, Shen Long's recitation of the poem became "A lonely city of thousands of miles, full of white-haired soldiers", and this poem was given to these soldiers who were trapped in the lonely city.

I took this task!
