Chapter 68: Despondent Encounter (Part II)

After Gao Feng finished washing, Geng Gong led the generals to set up a banquet to welcome Gao Feng, and Gao Feng came together for the reasons.

It turned out that Gao Feng was sent by Geng Gong to inform Ban Chao and jointly attack Qiuzi. Ban Chao made an appointment with Shule Wang Zhong and immediately attacked the city of Qiuzipan. At this time, the Xiongnu marched to the south again, received a report of Qiuci asking for help, of course, sent troops, Qiuci's troops were greatly inspired, Ban Chao was difficult to resist the enemy, and knew that the Xiongnu went to attack Jinman, Geng Gong returned to the army from Wusun to defend the city, and then retreated to the Shule country, and collected troops to defend himself. Suddenly, I got a report, under the coercion and temptation of the Xiongnu, Shache rebelled again, blocking the way back to the south, Ban Chao was of course anxious, restless, and said to the king of Shule: "Shache is hateful, capricious, and now rebelled against the Han, and cut off my way back to the south, so that I can not communicate with our country, if it unites with the Xiongnu to attack Shule, Shule has no assistance outside, then it will be very critical, it is better to preemptively take the Shache." When Zhong heard this, he also felt that the situation was pressing, so he raised 10,000 soldiers and went to attack Shache.

In the past, Nasha Che Wang Xian was killed by Khotan King Guangde, and almost destroyed the country. When the Xiongnu heard that Shache was destroyed, they were afraid that Guangde would be strong and difficult to control, so they enlisted Qiuzi, Yanqi, Weitou and other national cavalry, got 30,000 people, and surrounded Khotan, Guangde was afraid, and sent an envoy to surrender, and the Xiongnu then set up Qi Li, the son of Shache Wang Xian, as the king of Shache. Qi Li was grateful for the Xiongnu's kindness, and heard that the Xiongnu were moving south, so he rebelled against the Han and attached himself to the Xiongnu.

Ban Chao and Shule Wang Zhong led troops to Shache, and Qi Li was eager to make meritorious contributions, and attacked while Ban Chao was not stable. The Shule army was caught off guard and retreated, suffering countless casualties, and saw that the defeat was decided. Ban Chao was in a hurry and shouted, "Throw away the armor and valuable things on your body." "The Shule army abandoned their armor one after another, and the ground was full of brand new armor. It turned out that when Shache fought against Khotan, it was protracted, the national strength was empty, and there was a shortage of weapons and armor. When the Shacha soldiers saw the armor on the ground, they didn't chase the Shule soldiers, they all got off their horses and went to pick up the armor, you fight for me, and some soldiers fought for a pair of armor.

At this time, Ban Chao led the army to kill suddenly, compared to the previous time, it was very different, and they were extremely fierce. The Nasha chariot soldiers are fighting for the armor on the ground, and their discipline is sloppy, and they are not in a team, where can they be opposed? One by one, they were caught off guard, and they were killed by Shule soldiers, and people looked up to their horses, and blood flowed like a river. Under the protection of his own soldiers, Qi Li was defeated in the city, collected the remnants, and collected the city to defend himself. Ban Chao supervised the siege of the city, very fierce, Shache country was in danger, Qi Li was restless, suddenly thought of a plan, he opened the treasury, picked out the best dozens of treasures, and the rest of all sent to the soldiers, Shache soldiers got the treasures, their spirits were lifted, and they struggled to defend it, a lonely city, faintly showing signs of resurrection, Ban Chao couldn't help it for a while.

Qi Li sent people to bring these dozens of treasures and mixed them into the Shule army. On this day, a group of dancing girls are dancing in the court, the figures are angry, convex and concave, graceful, writhing, full of spring, Shule Wang Zhong looked at it, couldn't help but be angry, took two of them, pressed them on the king's chair, and gnawed indiscriminately. At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded, Zhong was furious, and he was about to curse, but when he saw that the person was Ban Chao, he was startled and let go of the dancer. Ban Chao's face was full of anger, and he said: "Now the Shule soldiers are fighting bravely to kill the enemy, throwing their heads, spilling blood, and the hardships are incomparable, but the king is greedy for prosperity here, immersed in the gentle countryside every day, ignoring the war, this kind of practice, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers?" ”

Zhong was ashamed and speechless, so he had to drive the dancer away, and Ban Chao also retreated with hatred. Zhongdu sat in the tent, sullen, and thought, "I am also a king, how about having fun once in a while?" was insulted like this in public by a Han general, alas! "I thought about it, but I had no choice but to swallow it. After a while, I heard the footsteps outside the tent again, and Zhong thought it was Ban Chao again, and stood up solemnly. As soon as the man entered, Zhong was stunned, but this man was dressed as a chariot man. Zhong was furious, drew his knife, and said: "Shache is Shule's enemy, you dare to come, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a knife?" ”

The man was not afraid at all, and smiled slightly: "If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't come." Zhong shook his sword and said sharply: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, when you finish speaking, this king will cut you with another sword!" When the man saw that he was only showing his sword, but he did not call anyone or expel him, he rejoiced in his heart, and he did not make a sound, and took out all kinds of treasures from his clothes, and put them in the tent, and these rare treasures were hard to find in the world, and they were all brilliant, and suddenly the simple tent became brilliant. Zhong's eyes were immediately sucked by the treasure, he dropped the knife, surrounded the treasure, circled, looked, smelled and touched, and couldn't put it down.

The man saw it in his eyes, smiled slightly, and Ren Shule Wang Zhong looked greedily. After a long time, Zhong said: "Are these treasures for this king?" ”

"Of course! Our king has admired the heroes of the king for a long time, and he has wanted to make friends for a long time, but he has no way out. These treasures are rare and unique in the world, and our king has commanded them, and they are for the king! ”

Zhong Daxi, but there is no lunch in the world that does not require money, and the treasure sent by Shache is so precious, he must ask for something, so he said: "If you have anything to say, just say it." But there's one thing, don't do it! ”
