A brief account of the Sino-Hungarian War at the turning point in history

The Centennial War between China and Hungary, also known as the Sino-Hungarian War, refers to a series of battles against the Huns in the early Western Han Dynasty, with both sides winning and losing, lasting more than 130 years. During this period, the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was based on the policy of "close relatives and avoid wars".

Although the war reduced the national strength of both sides at the same time, it had a greater impact on Xiongnu with a small population and weak economic foundation.

The background of Sino-Hungarian War

First, the expansion of the Huns.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Modu Hayden, the prince of Khan in Tou Man, a northern Xiongnu, shot his wife and good horse with a gong and trained a powerful grassland cavalry. Because Tou Man Khan wanted his youngest son to abolish the status of Prince Modu Hayden, Modu Hayden killed his father first and set up his own house.

After modu chanyu acceded to the throne, he first broke the East Lake, then attacked Yueshi in the west, and decided 26 countries in the western regions, including Loulan, Wusun and Hu Jie. In the south, he merged with Loufan Wang and Aries Henan Wang, and in the north, he served Hunyu, Qushe, Dingling, Jingkun and Ren Li, thus unifying many tribes in the northern grassland.

In addition, he also established a complete political and military management system, from the upper level to the left and right, left and right kings, until he was 24 years old. After a series of conquest wars and powerful reform measures, the Huns established a huge nomadic dynasty.

From Chunwei, the ancestor of the Huns, to 1000 years ago, the territory of the Huns fluctuated from time to time, and it was not until the Maodun Khan period that the Huns had 300,000 people who controlled the strings, with unprecedented power. Just after the barbarians in the north completely surrendered to the rule of Xiongnu Khan, the Xiongnu, who had already been eyeing the Central Plains in the south, began to make enemies with China in the south.

Second, the Central Plains is dying.

When the Xiongnu in the north became stronger, Qin Ershi learned that the first emperor was "resolute and violent", but the border affairs were not peaceful, and the hard work of guarding grain transportation led to excessive expropriation and the revival of civil engineering. Coupled with the slaughter of brothers and sisters, extravagant enjoyment does not ask the court to fail, so they all left Germany from the beginning and went to the courtiers.

In the second year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), Chen Sheng and Guangwu revolted in Daze Township. Then the princes rebelled against Qin, and Chu and Han contended. Thirteen years after this war, which has been burning for hundreds of years, was briefly extinguished, the Central Plains Dynasty fell into turmoil again: the population plummeted, prices soared, and life was devastated, resulting in the tragedy of "father and son fighting in the middle of the field, too numerous to mention" and "people eating people".

In addition, the Liu dynasty, which just pacified the Central Plains, is still facing constant internal struggles. During the Chu-Han War, in order to unite various forces against Xiang Yu, Liu Bang once enfeoffed seven kings with different surnames, including Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu, Zhang Er, Zangcha, Wu Rui and Han Wangxin. These recruited kings are powerful and have strong self-esteem. They have repeatedly rebelled and threatened the kingship.

At the same time, when the soldiers guarding the border pass left Shanhaiguan, the Huns crossed the Yellow River to the south, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Central Plains was exhausted and unable to look north, they recovered the disputed land in Meng Tian, bordering the Han Dynasty and sometimes invading the Han Dynasty.

In the sixth year of Henkel (20 1), in autumn and September, modu chanyu led an army south and besieged Han Wangxin in Mayi. Han Wangxin sent messengers to make peace with the Huns several times. Later, the Han Dynasty sent troops to rescue Han Wangxin. Liu Bang suspected that Han Wangxin had second thoughts, because he sent messengers to Xiongnu many times, which made people blame Han Wangxin.

Han Wangxin was afraid of being killed for this, so he reached an agreement with the Xiongnu to jointly attack the Han Dynasty and hand over Mayi, the capital of the Daiguo, to the Xiongnu. The Huns got Han Wangxin, so they led troops south to attack Taiyuan City.
