Gao Feng listened to the words of the Yue Clan's king, turned over and bowed: "The king knows everything about the world's major events, and the analysis of the current situation is to the point!" After a pause, he said, "In that case, why does the king still offend the Han Dynasty?" The king of the Yue clan was stunned and said: "This king binds you, but scares and scares you, how can it be called offending the Han Dynasty?" Gao Feng said with a smile: "The king tied me, of course, it was not to offend the Han Dynasty, the king imagined that the former Shule King was loyal and unjust, betrayed the Han Dynasty, and was captured by General Ban. Think about it, if General Ban was killed, how could the Han Dynasty give up? When the heavenly soldiers arrive, will Kang Juguo be finished? The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, at that time, how could Princess Jade Fan be spared? The king and Kang Juguo are in-laws, and the Han Dynasty is digging into the roots, how can they let you go? ”

The king of the Yue clan broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I am fortunate to be taught by a strong man!" Otherwise, it is almost a mistake for Kangjuguo! Please teach the king what should happen to the current situation? ”

"The king is so wise, don't you really know? Kang Juguo is just greedy for temporary gains, where can he really care about the life and death of loyalty? As long as the king repairs a book, and presents these treasures. Speaking of this, Gao Feng took out the treasures from his clothes and put them on the ground, those treasures emitted a dazzling light, and the Yue Clan King had never seen it, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes. Gao Feng continued: "I think, with these treasures, coupled with the king's in-law relationship, it is not difficult for the king to make King Kangju capture the former Shule Wang Zhong!" ”

The king of the Yue clan was overjoyed and said, "That's it!" Please rest assured! ”

Ban Chao was besieged, supervising the battle day and night, which was extremely difficult. This night, Gao Feng came back and said, "The matter has been done, and it should be in these days." "Ban is super happy.

King Kangju saw the letters and treasures of the Yue Clan, and took into account the relationship between his in-laws, so he really didn't care whether he was loyal or alive, and made a plan. On this day, the king of Kangju went to Wujicheng from Tangju, and he listened to it, thinking that the king of Kangju personally came to supervise the battle, and he was overjoyed to go out of the city to greet him and set up a banquet to treat each other. When the wine reached the third round, I suddenly saw the king of Kangju smashing the cup on the ground, and dozens of Kangju warriors protruded outside the tent, holding steel knives in their hands, holding Zhong, Zhong was inexplicable, struggling, and asked: "Why did the king arrest me?" ”

King Kangju said: "Don't blame this king, the king of the Yue clan is the father-in-law of this king, he has an order, how can this king not listen?" ”

Zhong was anxious and asked, "Do you want to send me to Ban Chao?" ”

"Exactly!"

"King, as the saying goes, break bones and continue to tendons, we are all countries of the Western Regions, if you do this, aren't you afraid that other countries will laugh at the king for being ruthless and unrighteous? Besides, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, we can't afford to provoke it, if you send me to the Han Dynasty, aren't you afraid of the Xiongnu's retaliation? ”

When King Kangju heard this, he hesitated for a while, and said: "Then, I won't overtake you, let's go back to Kangju with this king!" After saying that, he tied up Zhong, led the king of Kangju, and retreated overnight, leaving behind the Shule soldiers and the Shache soldiers.

Kangju's soldiers retreated, and the Han soldiers immediately detected and reported to Ban Chao, who did not chase after him, and when Kangju's soldiers completely retreated, they led their troops to suddenly attack the city. Qi Li, the king of Shache, went to find Zhong and Kangjubing, but found that it had already become an empty camp, and he was very panicked, unable to resist the enemy, and hurriedly abandoned the city and left. Ban Chao chased after him, seized more than ten cities in a row, and forced Qi Li in the northernmost city. Qi Li knew that he would die if he was defeated again, so he opened the treasury and distributed the treasures to the soldiers, and encouraged him day and night, and the Shache soldiers swore to defend the city, and Ban Chao besieged it for a long time, but he could not break the city, and he was very distressed.

On this day, Ban Chao was in the tent, Chen Shu presented a letter, Ban Chao opened it and looked at it, but it was written by the former Shule Wang Zhong:

The first general of Zhongdun, the general came from the Han Dynasty, and made me the king, and his love was higher than the sky, and his favor was thicker than the earth. But I ignored this kindness, for the sake of the fly's head, I rebelled against the king, led Shache and Kangju soldiers to attack the general, and overturned the general, which is really not done by people! Today, I live in Kangju, go through hardships, realize the past mistakes, the general's kindness, plan to return to Shule, saddle the horse for the general, never give up, and hope that the general will take it in. Weep and worship.

After reading the letter, Ban Chao did not hesitate and said happily: "Who sent this letter?" Hurry up and call over, I have a few words to say to him. Chen Yu summoned Zhong's henchmen, only to see that this person was five short figures, with a few handfuls of mouse beards, a few strands of dry yellow and sparse hair, and a pair of eyes that were dripping and turning. ”

The man lowered his head, with a sad face, and said: "General Ban, my master has been captured by Kangju, spent a lot of money, redeemed his life, wandered in a foreign country, endured all the hardships, tasted the heat and cold, the king often wept, saying that the general is as kind as a mountain, not only to help his father's revenge, but also to help him restore the throne, the most sorry person in this life is General Ban, if you can't turn back, can't change your life, then you will regret it for life, under the nine springs, there is no face to see the first king!" I hope that the general will have mercy on my king and give him another way to live! Ban Chao's eyes were blazing, full of pity, and he said: "Since your lord knows that he has repented and sworn to change his past wrongs, I will not cling to the past, so that your king will come to see me quickly, and show a little sincerity, and we can also talk about the old friendship and discuss how to attack Shache." The man was grateful, and said many kind things, and went away with thanks.

Gao Feng said: "General Ban, this matter seems very strange, so it's better to be cautious." Chen Yu also said: "General, yes, what Gao Feng said is right, this man is a thief, and at first glance he is a spy, who is here to explore the reality of our army." Ban Chao smiled: "Gao Feng, tell me in detail, how is this?" Gao Feng said: "General, this person said that he came from Kangju, although the clothes he wore outside were Kangju clothes, but the inside was Qiuci clothes, and his behavior was similar to that of Qiuci people, it can be seen that this person was in a panic, I guess Zhong must not be in Kangju, but in Qiuzi." Moreover, there must be a conspiracy with Qiuzi, otherwise, how could the Qiuzi people risk killing their heads to come to General Ban as a lobbyist for him? ”

Ban Chao laughed and said: "Heroes see the same thing, my Han talents are numerous, as long as everyone works together, are you afraid that you won't be able to recover the Western Regions?" Needless to say, loyalty must be a deception, and we want to make our army unpretentious and take advantage of it. Now our army and Shache are holding the city under the city, in a dilemma, and we are taking advantage of this opportunity. Kill Chung and capture Shache! ”

Gao Feng and Chen Wei bowed.

It turned out that Zhongben was a person with ten faces, and he was also a king, and he had a lot of contacts with Kangju Dagui before. After arriving in Kangju country, he tried his best to use money to open the way and make friends with Kangju officials, so Kangju spoke for Zhong, and King Kangju released Zhong. Zhong wanted to take revenge on the past, and then became the king of Shule, knowing that in the Western Regions, only Qiuzi and Yanqi could compete with the Han, so he went to attach and set up a plan to surrender to destroy the Han army.
