When Emperor Wu was a member of the Western Regions, there were thirty-six countries. Han sent messengers and a captain to take care of them. Emperor Xuandi changed his name to Duhu. Yuan Di also bought the second captain of Wuji, and settled the field in Wang Ting before the car division. Between sorrow and peace, it is divided into fifty-five countries. Wang Mang usurped the throne and demoted the princes. Because of resentment and rebellion in the western regions, he broke up with China and returned to service as a Xiongnu. The Huns collected taxes and carved them again, and the countries were miserable. In the process of building a military, they all sent envoys to seek internal affairs, and they were willing to ask for protection. Guangwu was decided at the beginning of the world, and it was not allowed without foreign affairs. Will the Huns weak, shache Wang Xian over countries. After Xian's death, he attacked each other even more. Xiaowan, Jingjue, Ronglu, and Qiemo were combined by Shanshan. Qule and Pishan were unified by Yu, and they knew their place. Yu Li, Shan Huan, Gu Hu and Wu Gan were destroyed by the car engineer. After that, the country was reunited. In Yongping, Beilu is a county in the west of Kouhe River, and the city gates are closed by day. In the 16th year, Ming Di ordered the general to March to the Xiongnu in the north, take the land of Yiwu and Lu, set up a captain of Yihe to settle the field, and then communicated with the western regions, and all the countries in the country sent their sons to serve. The western regions have been isolated for sixty-five years, but it is a resumption of communication. Next year, Duhu and Wuji will be installed. And Ming Di collapse, Yanqi, Qiuci attack did not protect Chen Mu, informed the public, Xiongnu, Cheshi surrounded a captain of Wuji.
in the spring of the first year of the founding, Peng Da, a car wrecker in the Taishou section of Jiuquan, was trained in Jiaohe City. Emperor Zhang didn't want to be tired of China, but he wanted to welcome back a captain of Wuji, and no longer sent his bodyguard. In the second year, I settled the field in Yiwu, and the Xiongnu sent troops to defend Yiwu. At that time, Ban Chao, the army's Sima, stayed in the country and gathered all the countries. In the first year of Emperor Yongyuan, General Dou Xian defeated Xiongnu. In two years, Xian sent Yan Yun, a deputy captain, to attack Yiwu and break it. In three years, Ban Chao decided on the Western Regions, and lived in Qiuci, with Chao as the guardian. Wu Ji, a captain, led 5 troops, living in Gaochang wall in front of the car division. He also waited in the fifth department, and lived in the back of the car driver, waiting for the city, five hundred miles away. In six years, Ban Chao recaptured Yanqi, so more than 5 countries accepted the quality of the territory. Its branches and rest countries have retranslated their contributions as far as the sea is 4 thousand miles away. In nine years, Ban Chao sent Gan Ying back to the West Sea. All of them are not in the past, and the Mountain Classic is not detailed, so it is necessary to prepare its customs and spread its treasures. So far away, Meng Qi and Dole all came to surrender and sent envoys to make contributions.
filial piety and Yan Jia are on the back of the western regions. In the first year of Emperor Anyong's early reign, Ren Shang and Duan Xi were all protected by frequent attacks. The imperial court, because of its danger, was unable to go there accordingly, so it was ordered to protect them all. Since then, I have abandoned the Western Regions. The northern Xiongnu was reclaimed by various countries, and * * * was a border coach in his teens. Cao Zong, the satrap of Dunhuang, suffered from his violent disaster. In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, he sent Shi Suoban, the governor of Dunhuang, to send more than a thousand people to my house to please him. So the former king of the car driver and the king of Shanshan came to surrender. A few months later, the northern Xiongnu returned to the rear of the car division, Wang * * *, and attacked no class, so he defeated his former king. Shanshan was in a hurry and asked Cao Zong for help. Therefore, Zong invited troops to attack the Xiongnu, reported the shame of Suoban, and resumed his desire to forge ahead in the Western Regions. Empress Deng did not allow it, but ordered the deputy captain of the Western Regions to live in Dunhuang, with 3 soldiers in the headquarters, and he was only detained. Later, the northern Lulian and the car driver invaded Hexi, and the court could not ban them. The discussants wanted to close Yumen and Yangguan, so as to avoid their troubles.
In the second year of Yanguang, Zhang Xuan, the prefect of Dunhuang, wrote to Chen Sance, thinking that "King Huyan of the Northern Lu Dynasty often transferred between Pu and Qin Hai, tyrannizing the western regions, and * * * was copied by the bandits. Today, with more than 2, officials from Jiuquan belonging to the state gathered in Kunlun fortress, the first attack on King Huyan was absolutely fundamental, because 5, Shanshan soldiers threatened the rear of the car driver, which was also a plan. If you can't send troops, you can buy an army horse with 5 soldiers, and the four counties will provide them with pears, cows and grain, and they will be out of the willows. This is also the trick. If you can't, you should abandon Jiaohe City and take Shanshan and other officials to make it into the fortress. " The court made a decision. Chen Zhong, a senior minister, said,
Translation:
During the reign of Emperor Wu, there were 36 countries attached to the western regions. The Han Dynasty set envoys and a captain for the western regions to command and protect them, and Emperor Xuandi changed his name to Duhu. Yuan Di also set up the second captain of Wuji to cultivate wasteland in Wang Ting before the car division. During the Aidi and Pingdi periods, the Western Regions themselves split into fifty-five countries. After Wang Mang usurped the throne, he degraded and changed the princes. Since then, the Western Regions have complained about rebellion, severed relations with the great powers of the Central Plains, and once again served the Huns. Xiongnu's taxes were heavy and strict, and countries could not bear it. During the Jianwu period, they all sent messengers to ask for belonging to the Han Dynasty, and they were willing to send all the guards. Guangwu didn't have time to deal with overseas affairs because the world had just been settled, and finally he didn't agree. Just as the Xiongnu declined, shache Wang Xian crusaded against other countries. After shache Wang Xian died, they attacked each other, and Xiaowan, Jingjue, Ronglu and Shanshan were annexed. Qule and Pishan were under the control of Yubin, and all the land was occupied by Yubin. The separation of Yu Li, Shan Huan, Gu Hu and Wu Gan was reduced by the car engineer. Later, all these countries recovered. For years, the enemy in the north coerced all countries to invade counties in Hexi, and the gates were closed in broad daylight. In the sixteenth year, Ming Di appointed a general, marched the Xiongnu to the north, occupied the land of Yiwu, set up a captain of Yihe to cultivate wasteland, and finally got through the western regions. In real countries, sons were sent to serve the emperor in the DPRK. It was sixty-five years since the Western Regions broke off contacts with the central powers themselves, and then they resumed contacts. In the second year, Duhu and Wuji were established.
When he died in Ming Di, Yanqi and Qiuci attacked and killed Chen Mu, the protector. All Chen Mu's troops were destroyed, and Xiongnu and Cheshi surrounded captain Wuji. In the spring of the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Duan Peng, the satrap of Jiuquan, defeated the Cheshi army in Jiaohe City. Emperor Zhang didn't want to make the Central Plains poor and poor in order to deal with Yidi, so he took back a captain of Wuji and stopped sending guards. In two years, the reclamation in Yiwu was cancelled, and the Huns took the opportunity to send troops to guard the territory of Yixi. At that time, Ban Chao, the car horse, stayed in Jia, appeasing and gathering countries in the western regions. In the first year of Emperor Yongyuan, General Bao Xian defeated Hungary Zheng. In two years, Xuantong therefore sent a deputy captain, You Gui, to lead more than 2, cavalry to attack Yiwu and defeat Yiwu. In three years, Ban Chao finally pacified Youyue, so the court appointed Ban Chao as Duhu and stationed in Qiuci. We also set up a captain of Wuji, led 5 soldiers, lived in Gaochang wall in front of the coachman, and set up a waiting official of Wuji, located in Houcheng in the back of the coachman, with a distance of 5 miles between the two places. In six years, Ban Chao defeated Yanqi again. At this time, more than 5 countries sent hostages and belonged to the Han Dynasty. Article support, rest in peace, countries all the way to the seaside countries 4 thousand miles away, all come to pay tribute to articles through translation. In nine years, Ban Chao sent assistant Li Gan Ying to the westernmost sea and didn't come back. These are places that the previous generation has never been to, and the Mountain Classic has not been recorded in detail. They have learned about the customs and geographical environment of the package in detail and shipped local exotic items. In this way, countries far apart, Meng Qi and Doule, all sent people to submit and sent messengers to contribute goods.
When Emperor Xiaohe died, the Western Regions betrayed him. In the first year of Emperor Anyong's early reign, Ren Shang, Duan Xi and others were surrounded by the western regions for many times. Because the western regions were dangerous and far away, it was difficult for the court to meet and get there, so Xiashaoshu withdrew all the guards. White gave up the western regions. The northern Xiongnu immediately regained control of the western countries and jointly invaded the border for more than ten years. Cao Zong, the satrap of Dunhuang, was worried about their cruel scourge. In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, he wrote to ask for the governor Shi Suoban to lead more than 1, people to be stationed in Yiwu to surrender and appease the western regions. In this way, the former king of the chariot and the king of Shanshan came to surrender. A few months later, the northern Xiongnu led the rear king of the car driver to attack and kill Soban and others, and then beat away the former king of the car driver. Shanshan was forced into a hurry and asked Cao Zong for help. Cao Zong therefore requested to send troops to attack the Xiongnu, avenge Suoban, and wanted to invade and seize the Western Regions. Empress Dowager Deng disagreed. She only ordered the establishment of a deputy captain to protect the western regions, who lived in Dunhuang, and deployed another 3 soldiers to contain the western regions. After that, the northern enemy and the car driver invaded Hexi continuously, and the court could not stop it. Some people proposed to close Yumenguan and Yangguan to cut off the harm of Xiongnu.
