On this day, Geng Gong received a letter from Ban Chao, and after reading it, he was overjoyed, and called in Wu Meng, Fan Qiang, Li Dang and other generals, and said: "The emperor is blessed, and we have recovered Wusun." The Western Regions are all attached to China. I just received a letter from Ban Chao's younger brother, saying that small countries such as Weitou and Gumo have been conquered, and the border cities of Qiuzi have also been captured several, and now they are stationed in the army. Geng Gong paused, pointed to the piled up sand table, and said: "I think, now is a good time to attack Qiuzi and Yanqi, we will send three people, one to Wulei, to the letter to protect Chen Mu, please use troops from west to east; One person went to Liuzhong, sent a letter to Guan Pet, and asked him to use troops from the south of Yanqi to attack Yanqi; The last person came to the manuscript and wrote to my brother Ban Chao to attack Qiuzi, and then we united with Wusun and also attacked Qiuzi, so that in less than half a year, the Western Regions should be owned by our country, what do you think? ”

If the Western Regions can be pacified, then the waiting generals will make meritorious contributions, just around the corner, and all the generals will listen to it, and they will all stand up one after another, and say: "I am willing to listen to the general's arrangement!" That Li Dang pulled out his knife, slashed it on the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Among the countries in the Western Regions, the most murderous people with the Xiongnu are Qiuci and Yanqi, I must kill all Qiuci and Yanqi people to avenge my family!" ”

The generals retreated, and Geng Gong left Wu Meng alone. It turned out that when Fan Qiang and the others were emotional, only Wu Meng wanted to speak and stopped, Geng Gong had always valued Wu Meng, of course he wanted to ask the reason. Geng Gong said: "Brother Meng, you just have something to say, why don't you say it?" "Big brother clearly sees that the plan you just proposed to attack Qiuci and Yanqi is very perfect, if there is a four-way army to attack from the east, west, north and south respectively, of course Qiuci and Yanqi will not be able to resist, as the eldest brother said, within half a year, Qiuzi and Yanqi will naturally be owned by my Han. It's just that I'm worried about ......" Wu Meng paused and was silent.

"Worried about what? Brother Meng has something to say, although he is blunt. ”

"I'm worried that Chen Mu and Guan Pet won't send troops at all!"

"How is that possible? Our army went deep into the Western Regions, for this moment! This is a great time to recreate the glory of the Han Dynasty and raise the might of our Han soldiers! Once in a lifetime, how could they be tied? Geng Gong was stunned.

"Big brother doesn't know, when you made a military order, saying that you would pacify the Western Regions within three years, Du Hu Chen Mu was very unhappy when he learned about it, saying that the big brother stretched his hand too long, and pacifying the Western Regions was obviously a matter for Du Hu, why did you make such a military order and forcibly insert a pole? Guan Pet is the old department, of course, he obeys. The last time they sent troops to Wusun, they all protected Chen Mu and Guan Pet did not send a single soldier, and they sat back and watched the success or failure, they thought that it was impossible for the eldest brother to conquer Wusun with such a small number of troops, so they were unexpected! Chen Mu must be jealous of his eldest brother's high achievements, and he doesn't want his eldest brother to subdue Qiuzi and Yanqi in one fell swoop, so he will refuse to send troops under the pretext. Wu Meng's words made Geng Gong wake up and said: "After I made a military order, my brother Geng Bing said that my move was too rash, not because I was worried about my ability to calm down the Western Regions, but because the wood was beautiful in the forest, and the wind would destroy it. Alas, officialdom is not the same as the battlefield after all! He sighed once, then changed his mind, and said proudly: "I only know how to be loyal to the king, and I don't care about any merit and merit!" Whether Chen Duhu sends troops or does not send troops, I, Geng Gong, have advanced and not retreated, and swear to level the Western Regions! ”

Wu Meng looked at the impassioned Geng Gong and couldn't help but be in awe! Since joining the army, Geng Gong doesn't know how many injustices he has received, but he has never complained, never discouraged, only knows how to fight bravely on the battlefield and serve the country loyally! Wu Meng's eyes moistened, and he said in a low voice: "Big brother, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I, Wu Meng, will definitely follow your side, never back down!" Geng Gong was very moved, stretched out his hand, held Wu Meng's hand tightly, and was reluctant to open it for a long time.

However, it was said that Yuan Xingzi sent his two sons as hostages to Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, and Geng Gong sent his own soldiers Wu Jiangtian to send him off. Wu Jiangtian was afraid that there would be changes on the way, so he doubled the road and hurried away. After two days, I saw the Yumen Pass. The guard of Yumen Pass is Wang Meng, who is an old friend of Ma Fang, and when Geng Gong accompanied the army to the west, Ma Fang told Wang Meng that if there is news of Geng Gong, report it at any time. Wang Meng switched in, set up a banquet to entertain, and after a look, he knew that Geng Gong had conquered Wusun and made a great contribution, so he immediately repaired a book, and sent someone to Ma Fang in the starry night.

Under the lamp, Ma Fang's eyebrows were twisted together, and in his clenched hand was a piece of paper, which had been crumpled into shape. Geng Gong actually captured Wusun with less than 2,000 troops! Qiuzi and Yanqi have been surrounded on all sides, and it seems that sweeping the Western Regions is just around the corner. However, these credits were originally their own! If it weren't for Geng Bing and Geng Gong's efforts to advise their relatives not to interfere in politics, it would be themselves who went to the Western Regions! Then, the one who has been a marquis and famous in history is himself! Ma Fang thought hatefully, his heart was like a knife, very uncomfortable, and a voice shouted in his heart: "Can't, can't, absolutely can't let Geng Gong sweep the Western Regions!" Absolutely not! The Geng family gains power, when will the Ma family's feud be avenged? Anger welled up in my heart.

"Father, what are you doing in a daze?" The shouts of his daughter Ma Juan suddenly sounded in his ears, and Ma woke up in shock, and wrote lightly: "It's nothing." ”

"Father, you've really changed."

Ma Fang's face sank, and he said angrily: "You are a girl's family, turned into a man, and ran to Geng's house every day, hum, what do you look like?" Others want to know, what do you say about my Ma family? The face of the Ma family will be lost by you sooner or later! ”

Ma Juan looked up at her father, and when she saw her father's hysterical appearance, she had mixed feelings: "My father is no longer the same person he used to be, perhaps, this is the same person he used to be, alas, my father was carried away by fame and fortune, and he was nervous all day long, he, he was really pitiful." But what can I do for my father? Ma Juan sighed, turned around and left.

Demand immediate action! Ma Fang stood up, turned around and left Mafu, blending into the vast night!
