After practicing for a while, Emperor Zhang waved his hand and said, "I forgot, please invite General Dou to come!" Zhongchang was about to leave, but he heard a sound of footsteps, Dou Gu led Li Yi, followed by several warriors, and broke in together!

Emperor Zhang was very unhappy, bent his bow and arrows, and aimed at Dou Gu! Li Yi was startled, his face was like earth, Dou Gu's face did not change, and he smiled: "The emperor writes well in cursive, when did he become interested in guns and sticks again?" ”

Emperor Zhang smiled: "If I learn the art of archery, even if there is a chaotic party in the palace, I can shoot him with one arrow!" With that, he pulled the bow hard, and the bow creaked.

Dou Gu changed slightly, and laughed loudly: "If you don't have good archery, what's the use?" Please shoot an arrow at the emperor and see if he can shoot it? ”

Emperor Zhang said in a deep voice: "Okay, then please ask the general for guidance!" Emperor Zhang shouted, and as soon as the arrow was released, it was as fast as a meteor! Li Yi and the warriors were shocked, Dou Gu smiled, and stood there, motionless!

The arrow flew over Dou Gu's head and into the distance. Emperor Zhang threw his bow and laughed: "General Dou is the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, how can I bear it?" Yes, yes, General Dou is the general of a hundred battles, and his color does not change when Mount Tai collapses, with you, what are my worries? ”

Dou Gu looked into the distance and praised: "The emperor is not an ordinary person, this arrow, the power is great, like thunder!" He paused, and when he saw Geng Gong standing aside with his hands on the side, he couldn't help but be furious: "Okay, Geng Gong, you happen to be here, so I won't be looking for you everywhere!" Come on, take Geng Gong down! Several samurai rushed forward.

Geng Gong said coldly: "This is Weiyang Palace, not the General's Mansion, Dou Gu, you are so bold!" If you want to catch it, just ask where you put the emperor! ”

Dou Gu was forced by Geng Gong like this, but it was not good to arrest people, and the warrior pounced halfway and stopped, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Dou Gu looked murderous and said hatefully: "Good, good, good, Geng Gong, worthy of being a famous general!" Today, Ben is going to make your death clear! Li Yi, you tell the emperor about this trip to the Western Regions! ”

Geng Gong was taken aback: "Why didn't Shi Xiu come back?" What's wrong with him? ”

Li Yi coughed lightly: "Tell the emperor, Shi Xiu has betrayed my Han and surrendered to the Huns!" ”

Geng Gong lost his voice and said: "Impossible! I think back then, Shi Xiu followed me to stick to Shule, went through all kinds of hardships, and was unswerving, how could he surrender to the Huns? Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense! ”

Li Yi looked at Geng Gong coldly, took out two animal skins from his arms, handed them to Emperor Zhang, and said: "Your Majesty, these two animal skins, one is a letter of surrender written by the Huns to Shi Xiu, and the other is a letter from Shi Xiu promising to surrender to the Huns. ”

Emperor Zhang was very hesitant, took a look, and his face changed greatly! Then he looked at it word by word, and his face was full of anger! After reading it, he threw the animal skin on the ground and said hatefully: "Shi Xiu, Shi Xiu, you have failed a piece of my heart!" ”

Geng Gong refused to believe it, leaned over and picked up the animal skin, looked at it again, and laughed. Dou Gu was furious: "Geng Gong, Shi Xiu is your subordinate, he surrendered to the Huns, the crime is unforgivable, and you also have an unshirkable responsibility!" You can still laugh, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Come on, tie up Geng Gong! ”

The warrior rushed up, held down Geng Gong, took out the hemp rope, and tied Geng Gong into a zongzi with three strokes and two strokes. Geng Gong looked calm and did not resist, and Emperor Zhang did not say a word.

Geng Gong smiled and said: "General Dou, it is easy for you to tie me today, I am afraid that it will be loosened tomorrow, but it will be difficult!" ”

"Untie? Geng Gong, you actually thought that Ben would loosen the binds for you? Hmph, Shi Xiu surrendered, did you instigate it? National secrets, how much has been leaked? Is there anyone in the Geng family involved? Ben will find out, and he will hold you accountable! ”

Geng Gong sneered repeatedly: "General Dou, please lock me up in the edict prison, as I expected, within ten days, Shi Xiu will definitely return to the Han Dynasty and will submit to a country!" ”

Emperor Zhang saw that Geng Gong was confident, and said, "General Dou, Geng Gong has handed it over to you!" ”

Dou Guzheng was worried that Emperor Zhang was protecting Geng Gong, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The emperor can rest assured, the old minister will definitely find out!" With a wave of his hand, the warrior escorted Geng Gong to the Imperial Prison. When Yang Yan saw it at the palace gate, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he didn't have time to ask more, so he flew to the tiger camp and discussed countermeasures.

Li Yi saw that Geng Gong was escorted away, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Shi Xiu traveled all the way west, slept in the open air, and finally arrived in Shule Country. Weichen secretly turned around, and saw that the discipline of the Shule State was lax, and even the weapons were rusty. Li Yi was angry, and took out an iron weapon from his arms, but it was a gun head, rusty, Li Yi said angrily: "Your Majesty, this is a gun head stolen by Wei Chen, you see, what is the rust into, how can such a weapon kill the enemy?" Emperor Zhang was angry and nodded yes.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is very strange, I asked someone to inquire, only to find out that the king of Shule is a big man on the surface, but in fact, he listens to Banchao alone. Weichen was taken aback, isn't this class of super smart and brave? Why is the state of Shule so decadent? If the Huns attacked, how could they be the enemy? At that time, where was the prestige of my Han country? ”

Li Yi was indignant, paused, and said: "Weichen and Shi Xiu went to the military camp to find Ban Chao. The soldiers said that General Ban lived in the palace. We had no choice but to go to the palace, and for several days we did not see anyone, and Wei Chen was so angry that he broke in. But I saw a woman sitting in Ban Chao's arms, holding a woman in his hand, holding wine in his other hand, and there were more than ten Shule women below, singing and dancing, these women were all very beautiful. Ban Chao saw me, but he was not surprised, asked me to sit down and drink, and pushed the beauty in his hand into my arms, saying that life is too short, why not drink and sing? Of course I shouldn't, Zhengsedao, the emperor treats the general Ban is not thin, entrusts him with great trust, and the general Ban does not want to forge ahead, repay the emperor's kindness, but why hug the baby, drink wine, and don't think about state affairs? Ban Chao laughed, laughed at my stubbornness, and said that the soldiers of the Western Regions are strong and strong, although there are small victories, it is not enough to be happy, it is difficult to calm down, instead of working hard, it is better to indulge in the gentle township, less boring, less sorrowful. I saw that Ban Chao was not ambitious, so I made a mistake with him, drank wine with him for a few days, and returned to the east with Shi Xiu. ”

Emperor Zhang said angrily: "Hate Ban Chao! In the name of the Han Dynasty, forcibly occupy Shule, in vain to learn from Xu Fu? How can I tolerate him! "When Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor, he sent Xu Fu to take three hundred boys and three hundred virgins to go overseas, ask for immortals, and try to live forever. How do you know that Xu Fu found an island overseas, settled down, and became the lord of an island, no different from the emperor. Emperor Zhang compared Ban Chao to Xu Fu, of course, he was very angry.
