This story dates back to the reign of Xuanzong in the Tang Dynasty. One day, he had a whim to attack a small country in the western regions, namely Little Boluo.

The reason for the crusade is that this small country monopolized the production of a five-color jade, which is priceless. The emperor's will was issued, and many ministers opposed it. They thought that Xiao Bolu was thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, so he was too tired to travel by boat and was afraid of wasting people and money.

Only the prime minister, Li, accompanied him and supported the crusade. Tang Xuanzong made up his mind that this was a good opportunity, not only to plunder gold, silver and jewels, but also to show off the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Li recommended the general king to the emperor to crusade, and I think all readers understand why.

Wang then led 40,000 Tang soldiers to crusade against Bolu, a small country. Xiao Boluo is no match for Datang. A king is like a nobody's business. Polo surrendered to the whole country and contributed gold, silver and jewels and beautiful cars to the Tang army.

The king returned with a full load, with the captured jewels and 3,000 stunning women. It was already a cold winter when they passed the Pamirs and Kunlun Mountains.

Strong winds and snowstorms are coming, and the climate is extremely cold. Poor Tang Jun was only wearing summer clothes when he went out to war, shivering with cold.

The snowstorm came, and chunks of snowflakes fell from the sky, wetting their skirts, and the situation was even worse. To make matters worse, they eventually froze to death and became ice sculptures, or stood, squatted or lay down.

Only Wang survived (I guess he must have robbed all kinds of warm clothes). See you later in Tang Xuanzong.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was taken aback. He regretted that he did not listen to the advice of officials and conquered a small country and a small law, resulting in the loss of 40 thousand Tang soldiers and horses.
