Geng Bing was stunned for a moment and looked back. Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Brother is awake, we are relieved, it's not too early, we should go back, brother rest early." With a look, they all withdrew.

Seeing them leaving, Geng Bing pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, the Queen Mother wants you to be Zhou Gongdan and Huo Guang, you, are you willing?" ”

Geng Gong nodded, then shook his head again, and the light in his eyes gradually extinguished.

Geng Bing sighed and said: "Zhou Gongdan is still good, Xuancheng Hou Huo Guang, loyal Geng Geng, Kuang Fu Han Room, only one hand to support the sky, its merits are majestic, comparable to the sun and the moon, the Huo family bathes in the emperor's grace, the seal of the wait, and the princess who marries the princess." However, as soon as Huo Guang died, Emperor Xuan settled the account after the autumn and immediately punished the Huo clan. The teacher of the past, the future will not be forgotten, the younger brother is familiar with history books, don't you know the details? ”

"Brother, I don't want to be Zhou Gongdan or Huo Guang, I just want to leave Luoyang, go to the border, anywhere, take a group of brothers, fight bloodily for the country and home, even if the horse leather shroud, I will not regret it."

"Could it be, can you bear to leave me and leave me alone in Luoyang, facing the cold palace, lonely and lonely, sad alone?" A mournful voice sounded, and a girl, with tears on her face, beautiful and unconventional, leaned against the door, it was Princess Yurong.

Geng Bing was startled and stood up: "Princess, why are you here?" ”

Yurong didn't look at him, walked to the bed tremblingly, stared at Geng Gong, and said softly: "Brother Geng, Sister Juan left Luoyang, and asked you to take care of me, if you leave, under Jiuquan, how can Sister Juan be safe?" You, you, don't you care about me at all......" She bit her lip and held back the tears rolling in her eyes, the sound was like a mosquito, getting smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Geng Gong was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, he hugged his head and thought, "Where have you seen her?" Why déjà vu? There was a sharp pain in his head, Geng Gong frowned, gritted his teeth and endured it, with a painful face.

Yurong was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Brother Geng, you, what's wrong with you......"

Geng Gong gasped, his chest rose and fell violently, and hissed: "No, it's okay......"

Yurong's heart was like a knife, standing in front of the bed, looking at Geng Gong in a daze, the drawing of hugging Geng Gong that night came to mind, she lowered her head, sweet, shy, sad...... All of them came to her heart, and she thought sadly: "If you can be like this, always stand by Brother Geng's side, silently watch him, for the rest of your life, how good it would be." However, these are just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, Brother Geng is a hot-blooded man, how can he be willing to accompany me for a long time? What belongs to him is the vast Western Regions after all......"

The candle flame gradually dimmed, and I don't know how long it has been, Geng Bing called softly: "Princess, it's not early, it's time for you to go back to the palace......"

Yurong was startled and sighed: "It's so fast......" She stomped her foot, turned to leave, walked a few steps, and looked back at Geng Gong, with sadness on her hibiscus-like face: "Brother Geng, you, you have to take care...... I—I can't come to see you often......"

The thick night, the sound of hooves is lonely, submerged into this boundless world, causing a lot of melancholy. Shi Xiu took several government soldiers to escort Yurong back to the palace. The appearance of pear blossoms with rain came into view, stabbing the heart. Since then, his world has disappeared and there is no longer happiness......

Without Li Kang, Yang Wu, and Zhang Feng, Geng's Mansion suddenly became much quieter. Geng Gong was very unaccustomed to it, lying in bed every day, depressed and grief-stricken. Fan Qiang, Yang Yan and others talked to him every day, and Geng Gong was also sullen and difficult to let go.

After more than ten days, the injury gradually improved. The sky is getting hotter, and the sun is like fire. In the early morning of this day, Geng Gong went to the back garden, and after mentioning qiang, he felt out of breath and exhausted, and couldn't help sighing: "If you are always so decadent, how can you fight on the battlefield?" Thinking of the years when he killed the enemy on the Prancing Horse in the Western Regions, his blood boiled, and he said: "How about Li Dang and Yang Wu in prison?" Is Ban Chao's younger brother still trapped in the Western Regions? ”

Just thinking about it, Fan Qiang and Yang Yan led one person, rushed over happily, and shouted loudly: "Brother, good news, good news!" Ban Chao broke the Xiongnu and Qiuzi coalition forces, fought a bloody road from Wujicheng, and has now returned to Shule in the west! ”

Geng Gong was thinking about it, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Is this true?" ”

"Real money, if it's fake!" Fan Qiang pointed to a person and said with a smile: "Brother, look, who is this person?" ”

Geng Gong fixed his eyes and saw that it was the messenger sent back by Ban Chao the previous time, he inserted qiang into the weapon rack, and laughed: "My younger brother Wen Tao Wuluo, thirty-six horsemen crisscross the fortress, and only the Huns and Qiuzi, how can they trap him?" My worries were unnecessary. The stone pressed on his chest was removed, and Geng Gong only felt that the world was wide, and a ray of long-lost sunlight shone in the sky above the cloudy Geng Mansion. He pulled the messenger to the table and shouted, "Ma Fu, come quickly, pour wine and pour wine, I will have a good drink with the messenger today!" ”

Ma Fu got the order, quickly took the wine, and poured more than a dozen bowls in one go. Geng Gong picked up the wine, suddenly became arrogant, and laughed loudly: "Come, stand out for my brother and do this bowl!" Fan Qiang and the others saw that Geng Gong was in high spirits, swept away the decline of the past, and they were secretly happy and drank it all.

After the envoy finished drinking, he wiped his mouth, and suddenly said: "General Geng, I remember that last time there was a black general who pestered me to tell me stories, and he didn't let me drink the water, why is it missing today?" Did he die in Shule? ”

Geng Gong was suddenly gloomy and said sadly: "His name is Li Kang, but he is in prison at this time. Alas, he likes to listen to stories the most, and if he knew that you were coming, he would have pestered you, asked you to tell me about my brother's breakthrough, and would have drunk with you. ”

Seeing Geng Gong's grief, the envoy was inconvenient to ask more, so he talked about Ban Chao's breakthrough in 1510.

But said that the Xiongnu was defeated by the Han family's magic arrow, scattered and fled, one of them all the way to the country of Qiuzi, heard that Ban Chao was in Wuji City, angry, nowhere to vent, then gathered the Qiuzi army, surrounded Wuji City to the point of impassability, and attacked the city day and night, eager to capture the city immediately, the Han army was broken into thousands of corpses one by one, so as to vent the hatred in his heart.

The Ban Chao overseers held on tightly, fighting hundreds of battles large and small, without fear. The city wall is damaged, and it can be repaired while fighting, and it will be completed in a moment; The Huns dug tunnels, Ban Chao was on guard at any time, probed the underground cavities, attacked them with fire, and burned the Huns and turtles to death...... After more than a month like this, the Xiongnu and Qiuzi did not take advantage of the slightest, and they couldn't help but be discouraged, and their offensive decreased.

Ban Chao was secretly worried, if the Shule army died in battle, there would be one less, and the source of troops could not be replenished, and once Gao Feng left, there was no news for a long time. One day, Ban Chao suddenly realized: "At the beginning, my brother asked Chen Mu and Guan Pet to send troops together to attack Yanqi and Qiuzi from the east side, but they refused to send troops and ridiculed them in every way, and now I send Gao Feng to them for help, how can they help?" Gao Feng must have gone to find his brother, but my brother is trapped in Shule City and has no time to take care of himself, how can he help me? It seems that only one more general, around Wusun, out of the side of the Tianshan Mountain, and go straight to the Shule country, the lord of the Shule country has become a big department I have established, and I will definitely send troops to help. The plan has been decided, Ban Chao repeatedly went out of the city to challenge, covering Chen Shu to break through, but was recognized by the Huns and Qiuzi, and returned in vain, and also lost a lot of Shule soldiers.
