The Han army named itself.

When you mention Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, you will think of years of fighting between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, and finally you won. Later, Liu Che established four important towns on Hexi Road, named Dunhuang, Wuwei, Zhangye and Jiuquan. These four names not only sound mighty, but also represent the meaning of making the country powerful and mighty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to these four important towns, which also represented the annexation of the western regions and long-term stability.

First, the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was originally with the Central Plains, but later tribal branches gradually took root in the north of the Central Plains, forming a nomadic people. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, Xiongnu became stronger and stronger and invaded the Central Plains. However, in the early Han Dynasty, princesses were always annexed and even married to the Great Wall for peace. It is also the case that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty secretly made up his mind to pacify the Huns and stop the people and their families from suffering. Until Zhang Qian, who was imprisoned by Huns for more than ten years, fled back to the Central Plains and brought detailed information from Hungary. He told Emperor Wu that in order to pacify the Xiongnu, we must recover the small countries around the Hexi Corridor in order to occupy the dominant position.

Two. The Battle of Hexi Corridor in BC 12 1 year, Huo Qubing, who was only seventeen years old at that time, served as a title of generals in ancient times and started two battles in Hexi. In these two wars, Huo Qubing beat the Huns out of the water with overwhelming force, and at the same time defeated the Huns who always thought they were brave. Since then, the morale of the Han army has greatly increased. And occupied most of the Hexi Corridor, the Huns knew that the tide was over and had to surrender. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the Hexi Corridor into four important towns, and each name expressed profound implications. Dunhuang represents the Han Dynasty's national movement will be very grand; Wuwei represents the power of the Han army; Zhang Ye began to fly as a wing on behalf of the Han Dynasty. Jiuquan, on behalf of the generals, was invincible and fearless after drinking the wine given by the royal family.

The four names chosen by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have far-reaching implications and represent the powerful military power of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the country. In order not to be invaded by foreign countries and protect the Han people and their families, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty made up his mind to pacify the Huns and recover the lost land from an early age. It is precisely because of the ambition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the Silk Road became the link between the Central Plains and the outside world.
