Ban Chao stroked his palms and smiled, and said: "The eldest husband should be like this, if it is me, I will not only kill the Xiongnu envoy, but also kill the king of Qiuzi." Geng Gong sighed: "The brother's temperament is exactly the same as that of a meson." Na Jie Zi went back and said to Huo Guang that he wanted to assassinate the king of Qiuci, Huo Guang said that Qiuzi was far away, and the location was not as important as Loulan, so it was better to kill the king of Loulan. Jie Zi then took more than 100 people and took a lot of treasures to Loulan, and the king of Loulan was greedy for Jie Zi's property, but he was very wary of Jie Zi and did not dare to see each other, so he only sent his officials to go. Jie Zi deliberately got angry, saying that the king was neglecting and that he would leave tomorrow to give his goods to other countries. An Gui was in a hurry, and hurriedly kept the meson, but the meson refused, and sorted out the outfit overnight. On the second day, An Gui personally came to the Jiezi tent, Jiezi saw that he brought few people, took advantage of his inattention, stabbed him with a knife, and said to his ministers that An Gui secretly married the Huns, repeatedly killed Han envoys, the crime is unforgivable, the son of the first king of Loulan Wei Tu Qi is now in the Han court as a hostage, can be the king, the ministers listened, did not dare to disobey, Loulan Suiping. So, Jie Zi changed Loulan's name to Shanshan. ”

When Ban Chao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "Jie Zi is a real warrior, I will definitely remember my brother's words when I go to the Western Regions this time, and I will go to Shanshan first, Shanshan will be flat, you can advance or retreat, and all the countries in the Western Regions will be subject to me." "Exactly!" Geng Gong said, "I think after taking Shanshan, the next country to conquer will be Yu Ningguo." ”

"The hero sees the same thing, and what my brother said is good. Yu Ningguo Xiong according to the Western Regions, eyeing the tiger, in the Western Regions of the most powerful country, Yu Ning, other countries must be afraid, look at the wind and fall, the southern part of the Western Regions is flat, the elder brother with General Dou drove straight in, straight into the north, and set foot on the Xiongnu. The two laughed, and their hearts were so strong that they picked up and drank it all.

Ban Chao said: "I heard that the wine grown in the Western Regions is not quite the same as the spirits in the Central Plains. The wine of the Central Plains, made of sorghum and glutinous rice, is as strong as a knife and like a fire, which is suitable for heroes to drink in large gulps; The wine of the Western Regions is made from grapes, the wine is like blood, and the sex is very warm, which is suitable for unmarried women to taste it slowly in small sips. I've leveled the Western Regions, and I'm going to get some wine for my eldest brother to taste. ”

Geng Gong wiped the wine stains on his lips and said loudly: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" It's just that this kind of wine should not be drunk for a long time, otherwise it will become a woman, and it will not be good! Haha, my brother will tell me the story of Yu Ning. ”

Ban Chao said with great interest: "When Emperor Wu was in power, Yu Ning was also under the jurisdiction of my country's capital protectorate. Wang Mang's rebellion, my country has no time to look west, and Wang Xian of Shache in the Western Regions used troops to swallow it. At this time, there was a noble warrior named Hugh Moba in Yu Ning, who endured humiliation and burden, and he obeyed the king of Shache on the one hand, and did not forget the hatred of the country on the other, and trained the army day and night. When the soldiers were well fed, he suddenly attacked and killed Jun De, the defender of the Shache Kingdom, restored the country in one fell swoop, and established himself as king. King Shache was furious, raised the whole army, and besieged Humoba, but was defeated by Humeba. Shache King fled in the wilderness, Hugh Moba refused to give up, and pursued closely, but he was shot and wounded by Shache King, so he had to withdraw from the army, and died on the way back to China. Humeba had no sons, so the vizier made his brother's son Guangde king. This King of Guangde, who is both wise and brave, united with Qiuzi, attacked the king of Shache, the king of Shache was attacked by the enemy in the north, and it was difficult to hold it for a long time, so he went to the camp of Guangde to sue for peace, saying that he was willing to marry his daughter to Guangde, Guangde agreed, and retreated. ”

Geng Gong slapped the table heavily, the wine in the bowl shook from side to side, splashed out, and said angrily: "This King Guangde did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy Shache in one fell swoop, but he had a long love for children and greedy for women, where is the hero's behavior!" ”

Ban Chao waved his hand and said, "Brother is wrong." This Guangde retreated, but there was another reason, that is, the grain and grass did not continue. After he returned to China, he fought hard, and after only a year, he made a comeback and besieged Shache, and the king of Shache was very frightened and scolded Guangde for not keeping trust. Guangde said that King Shache is my father-in-law, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I came to greet him, father-in-law don't doubt it, you go out of the city to talk about the old days, and I will retreat. ”

Geng Gong interjected: "This is Guangde's plan, he wants to lure the Shache King, I expect the Shache King to be fooled." ”

"Not bad. The king of Shache fought but didn't, thinking that it would be better to go out of the city calmly, and meet him, maybe Guangde would miss the love of Weng and his son-in-law, and he would withdraw from the army after a few words. Then the king of Shache went out of the city, but suddenly more than ten strong men appeared, dragged the king of Shache off his horse, and tied him up. Shache lost its main general, so it surrendered, and Yu Ning annexed Shache and became a powerful country in the Western Regions. ”

Geng Gong sighed: "The Western Regions have always been the land of Fanbang, and it is reasonable that King Guangde has no faith. When the younger brother went to the Western Regions, he could learn from Zhang Yi during the Warring States Period, Xiao Han Tianwei, and use the contradictions of the Western Regions to isolate, make friends from afar and attack closely, and defeat each with razing, how can there be any injustice in the Western Regions? ”

Ban Chao was overjoyed and said: "That's right, if the countries of the Western Regions are like the Warring States, even horizontal and vertical, united as one, and connect the Xiongnu and Xianbei to fight against our Han Dynasty, the Western Regions will naturally be difficult to pacify." But the Western Regions have always had no faith, capricious, beneficial and subordinate, no profit is reversed, there has never been any reason at all, I am not worried about the injustice of the Western Regions now, only worried that after the pacification of the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions still have no faith, so how can it be a long-term Han? In the future, I am afraid that the world will be troubled by these peoples on horseback. ”

"Only when imitating Emperor Wu, re-establish the capital to protect the mansion, garrison with heavy troops, teach Taoism, and then guard with capable ministers, in the past 100 years, the Western Regions will not be in chaos."

Ban Chao sighed: "I put pen to paper, often sigh that no one talks to me about the art of war and strategy, what my brother saw today is slightly the same as me, if the emperor sends us to the Western Regions, what else is there to worry about!" ”

The two hated to see each other late, their hands were clasped tightly, and the two heroic and unruly hearts leaped over thousands of mountains and rivers, staying in the yellow sand ravines outside the plug. The firm eyes were intertwined, bursting out with infinite strength, and the two heroes in the early Eastern Han Dynasty opened the prelude to the conquest of the Western Regions and the Xiongnu.
