Battle of the Drivers

Ban Chao entered the country of Shule from the small road, and when he was still 90 miles away from the city where the question was located, he sent Tian Xi to Fu first, and instructed, "The question is not a kind of Shule, and the people of the country will not have to die." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info you go to appease, if he doesn't fall, just take him down" After Tian thought about it, he really didn't drop. Tian Ji didn't say a word, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness and took down the bundle. Then he galloped to see Ban Chao in return.

Ban Chao immediately rushed to the city of Panlu, summoned the generals of Shule and said, "There is no way to go to Qiuzi, my Han is here to avenge the king of Ruxian, you should obey my orders!" Now, your first king still has heirs left" Everyone replied "The first king has no heirs, but the brother of the first king has a son Zhong "Ban Chao Dao" is very good! Then we will be loyal to the new king of Shule."

Then, Ban Chao ordered the question to be brought in, and asked Zhong and the others, "Do you want to kill this person?" Ban Chao said, "What good is it to kill a mediocre husband?" I'm going to release him back to the country of Qiuci, and let that King Jian of Qiuzi know the virtue of our great Han."

Ban Chao relied on the strong national strength and repeatedly conquered the countries in the Western Regions, and the news soon spread back to Luoyang. Luoyang was like a festival, and the emperor Liu Zhuang and the three public ministers were immersed in inexplicable excitement.

On May 5, a grand banquet was held in Liuzhuang. Hundreds of civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty gathered in the Jinluan Hall to raise a glass to celebrate. Everyone toasted to Liu Zhuang "Your Majesty's kindness and prestige spread far and wide, and no one can stop it"

Liu Zhuang was very happy, but he also said modestly, "This is my credit, if it weren't for Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu, how could we enjoy this beautiful era" Liu Bang founded the country and Liu Xiu Zhongxing, but today the Han Dynasty building will be built high and bricked, it will be me Liu Zhuang! I, Liu Zhuang, inherit the past and the future, and dare not say that I am excellent, but I resolutely do not want to be a mediocre emperor who gnaws at the old!

Liu Zhuang issued an edict to give each man in the world a second-class title; The three elders, filial piety, and Litian each have a third-class title; Displaced people who have been renaturalized are each given a first-class knighthood. widows, widows, lonely and other socially disadvantaged groups have 3 mu per person; Lang and those who have been in official affairs for more than 10 years will receive 10 horses per person. Since last year, all the officials who have been demoted and redeemed have been redeemed.

On August 15, Liu Zhuang issued an edict: ordering all criminals in Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other counties to be exempted from crime and go to the barracks to serve as soldiers.

In November, Liu Zhuang once again gathered troops and used troops abroad for the second time. This time, the target is the Western Regions! There are more than 50 countries in the Western Regions, and of course they can't be solved by relying on Ban Chao's strength alone. Moreover, the Xiongnu had long roots in the Western Regions, and their allies were deeply rooted. This time the troops are to pull out a few big trees and show the might of the Han Dynasty!

In this expedition, the main will be Dou Gu, and the deputy will be Geng Bing and Liu Zhang. All cavalry was used, a total of 14,000 horsemen.

The army set out from Kunlunsai in Dunhuang County and went straight to Baishan. Dou Gu's goal was the Western Regions, and to get to the Western Regions, one had to pass through Baishan (today's mountain), which had always been the base of the Xiongnu. Therefore, before Dou Gu wants to advance into the Western Regions, he must first sweep away the Northern Hun soldiers in Baishan!

In Pu Shihai, Dou Gu successfully defeated the Northern Xiongnu Corps. Then move on. In front of it is the prey that Dou Gu wants to capture: its name is Che Shiguo! The original name of the car master was "Gu Shi", and the one who changed its name for it was Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! Back then, after Liu Che sent troops to take Gushi Kingdom, he renamed it. Up to now, the Cheshi Kingdom has been divided into the former and second kingdoms of Cheshi and the six kingdoms of Shanbei.

The former king of the Cheshi is the son of the latter king, the former king lives in Jiaohe City, and the latter king lives in the deep valley of Jinpu City, which is more than 500 miles apart. It's a small problem, but the big problem is that between them, there is an unattainable Tianshan mountain range! The altitude is more than 5,000 meters, and the summit is covered with snow all year round. It's really not a great difficulty to climb over it!

However, the Western Regions are so big and there are so many countries, why doesn't Dou Gu go to fight other countries, but he can't get along with the Cheshi country? In fact, it's not that Dou Gu can't get along with Che Shiguo. It's really too important for this country, and it's a battleground for soldiers! Cheshi country, located in the first station of the northern road of the Silk Road, leads to Dunhuang in the southeast, Loulan in the south, Wusun in the northwest, and Xiongnu in the northeast. is such an important point, so the Huns are desperately trying to rob the Han Dynasty, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, it has never stopped. Known as the "Five Fighting Drivers" in history

When the Han Dynasty was the most powerful, the Xiongnu had to rob the Che Division, which shows that the Cheshi Country was too important for both the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. If Liu Zhuang wants to open up the Western Regions, he must first sweep the Xiongnu, and then open up the Cheshi. Taking the country of Cheshi is exactly the purpose of Liu Zhuang's troops! And it has a bearing on the whole picture. If you can't get rid of the Cheshi Kingdom, if the Han Dynasty wants to regain control of the Western Regions, it's just nonsense...

As a result, the country of Cheshi has become an inflection point. If you cross the past, the future is bright; If you can't cross it, your achievements are far away. But the Tianshan Mountains with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters are what a hurdle this is!

Unfortunately, Dou Gu made a mistake on this hurdle.

Dou Gu thinks: The mountains and rivers of the kingdom after the car master are far away, and it is winter, and the cold kills people. So he was going to attack the former kingdom of Cheshi first... However, as soon as Dou Gu's opinion came out, it was immediately denied. This person is Geng Bing, who didn't catch anything during the last expedition to the Northern Huns.

From a certain point of view, Geng Bing is compared with Ban Chao, both of them are well-read and memorized, have high ambitions, and are eager to make contributions and become famous. Ban Chao was in a difficult situation, still looking up at the starry sky. This spirit is what we call pursuit; Geng Bing stands on the merits of his ancestors, still looking for new heights, and this kind of pursuit is what we call defending. Geng Bing is fighting to defend the honor of his family and country and the dignity of his personal hero!

Among the young Zhuang faction of the Han Dynasty, Geng Bing was an out-and-out hard-line hawk. He often thinks that China is restless, and its trouble lies in the Xiongnu. To get rid of the Huns, you must fight with war! But what made him unhappy was that in the last expedition against the Northern Xiongnu, he actually hit an empty target, and he didn't do anything. Therefore, this expedition, his heart of contribution is more urgent than anyone else!

Extraordinary people, if you want to build extraordinary achievements, you must take the extraordinary road. Geng Bing believes that if the king of the car division is taken first, his son the former king of the car division will inevitably surrender. So he wants to go straight to the country after the taxi division!

Regarding Geng Bing's offensive plan, Dou Gu hesitated and did not dare to make a decisive decision. Geng Bing smiled secretly in his heart. He had already seen Dou Gu's concerns, this was a big opportunity, and he had to kill Dou Gu in front of him. So he roared angrily and shouted to Dou Gu, "Don't hesitate, I will come to the front and attack the Cheshi Houguo" Dou Gu didn't understand what was going on, but he saw Geng Bing Monkey jumping on his horse in a hurry and leading the army to the north to run into the mountains... Dou Gu had no choice but to follow Geng Bing closely and the army went north.

Facts have proved that Geng Bing was right! Geng Bing slaughtered into the country after the chariot division, plundered the army, beheaded thousands, and collected more than 100,000 horses and cattle. Wang Ande, the queen of the chariot division, was shocked and decided to surrender. But the unexpected happened!

At this moment, a man came galloping and told Ande to hurry back to the city, and not to rush out of the city and surrender.

Some people may guess: Is it the reinforcements of the Northern Huns that have arrived? The answer is wrong! It was not the Huns who came to report it, but the staff officer Su An beside Dou Gu!

Su An thinks: This time to attack the country behind the Cheshi, Geng Bing charged ahead and made a big profit. But Dou Gu was the commander-in-chief, leading the army behind, and he didn't get an inch of merit, so he couldn't afford to lose this person. So he had a crooked idea, wanting Dou Gu to swallow this great achievement alone. Only then did he secretly send a fast horse into the city and tell Ande that "when Dou Gu personally led the army to arrive, he could go out of the city and surrender"

Ander agreed. He is a loser, and the result is the same for whoever surrenders. So he cooperated and went back to the city again. But Geng Bing quit!

Dou Gu is very fine, but Geng Bing is not stupid. He was the first to discover this big deal, and he was the first to come out and do it. He stares at this business like a fly staring at blood, and if he misses it, he will have no merit. Even if you have a wedding dress, do you still have to count the money for others? Even if you grab it, you have to grab the credit back before Dou Gu!

Geng Bing waited for a long time, and found that Ande did not leave the city on time to surrender, and he understood what had happened. So Geng Bing angrily ran to Dou Gu's tent, jumped off the horse and shouted, "The queen of the chariot said that he would come out and surrender, but he fooled us and didn't come." Allow me to let the horse go over now, and cut off his head to you."

As soon as Geng Bing finished speaking, he was about to get on the horse again. Dou Gu was startled and said, "Don't go, you will definitely mess things up if you go."

Geng Bing shouted, "Surrender is like being subjected to the enemy, I have taken care of this work" As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and headed towards the capital of the country after the chariot division!

At this time, Wang Ande, the queen of the chariot division, was waiting for Dou Gu's army to arrive in the city. Unfortunately, he waited for the bad news that Geng Bing was going to cut off his head. Ander almost fainted! Throwing a drop makes Lao Tzu not a person? Why are the Han people so complicated?

In the end, Ander decided to go out of the city and surrender to Geng Bing. When he saw Geng Bing, he turned over and dismounted, ran straight to Geng Bing's horse, hugged the horse's feet and cried bitterly, begging for mercy... Geng Bing finally saw the fruits of victory, and it fell heavily into the palm of his hand. He escorted Ande back to the camp and handed it over to Dou Gu.

And as Geng Bing expected, after the surrender of the queen of the Cheshi, soon the king of the Cheshi also opened the city to surrender to the Han army.

After Dou Gu took the Cheshi Kingdom, he immediately sent a report to Luoyang, requesting the restoration of the Western Regions Protector and the captains of Wu and Ji. Soon, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty approved the appointment of three people, all of whom were unfamiliar faces: Chen Mu, the protector of the Western Regions, and Geng Gong, the commander of Wuxiao, stationed in Jinpucheng in the Houguo of the Che Division; Captain Guan Pet was stationed in Liuzhong City in the former country of the Che Division, and the three of them each led hundreds of officers and soldiers to reclaim on the spot...

In February of the 18th year of Yongping (75), Dou Gu, who had finished his work, was recalled to Luoyang by Liu Zhuang. However, he never imagined that when the Han army retreated, a nightmare swept over! The nightmare maker is the Northern Xiongnu who Dou Gu dreams of. Dou Gu left on his hind feet, and the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu's front foot stepped into the Cheshi country!

The first greeting of the Northern Huns was the captain Geng Gong, we know that Geng Gong only has a few hundred soldiers, and the Northern Huns are violent, and the king of Zuo Luli actually led 20,000 cavalry to arrive! 20,000 cavalry, like 20,000 modern tanks, galloped across the desert. That kind of arrogance, unless the gods possess the body or Huo Qu is reincarnated, who can resist it?

Sure enough, the Northern Xiongnu stormed the queen of the Che Division, and Geng Gong sent 300 soldiers to the rescue. Soon, the three hundred Han soldiers and the queen of the chariot Wang Ande all went to see the king of Hades. The cavalry of the Northern Huns surrounded Jinpucheng!

At this time, Geng Gong appeared on Jinpu City. Time quickly proved: the person in front of him is the real troublemaker of the Northern Huns!

Geng Gong, the son of Geng Guang. and Geng Bing are cousins, and they share an uncle, Geng Yi. China's big family, as long as it takes root in a certain industry, will develop and expand its industrial chain: merchants produce business masters, civil officials produce world talents, and military generals will kill enemies. The Geng family was born as a military general, three generations of incense are continuous, and fierce people have come out of succession, which can be said to be better than the blue. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. The class is beyond the home of a civil official, but he abandons his pen and makes contributions thousands of miles away, which is an alternative domineering move that is very accessible to everyone.

The world is so big, anyone who thinks of killing the enemy outside the country and making meritorious contributions is born to be a king of adventure. Like Geng Bing, Geng Gong is also a restless species. He has a lot of ambitions and is a natural general. It won't be long before the Northern Xiongnu are about to experience Geng Gong's fierce effect!

Geng Gong took out the deadly weapon against the cavalry - the strong crossbow! It's powerful and has a range that's the equivalent of a modern armor-piercing projectile. As long as you get shot, no matter what type of tank you have, you will be paralyzed!

In order to strengthen the power of the strong crossbow, Geng Gong also made slight improvements in technology. The process is simple, it is to apply poison to the arrowhead.

Then, Geng Gong shouted to the Northern Hun soldiers under the city, "Listen well: the Han family's magic arrows don't have long eyes. Whoever is hit by an arrow, if he does not die, he will be seriously injured, and wait for the corpse to be collected."

The Northern Xiongnu seemed to understand: Geng Gong dared to defend the city with a few soldiers, but he was still so calm, it turned out that he had heavy weapons that made people fearful. Of course, the Northern Xiongnu would not be scared away by Geng Gong's two words. So let's stop talking nonsense and start fighting!

One day, the Northern Xiongnu were preparing to attack the city. Suddenly, the sound of killing turned into chaos in an instant, and the ghost cried and the wolf howled, which was extremely terrifying. What the hell is going on?

It turned out that it was all the fault of the crossbow! The Northern Xiongnu discovered: Geng Gong's Han magic arrow was really not blown. Whether it is a man or a horse, when a strong crossbow is shot, the muscles seem to be violently torn apart, the blood mouth is wide open, and the wound immediately festers. In this way, the Han army shot strong crossbows one after another on the city, and the Northern Xiongnu neighed and were frightened under the city, and they became a mess.

But there's more to come: a sudden wind blows in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour... The sky is not helping, the land is unfavorable, the people are not in harmony, and the Northern Xiongnu are all touched.

At this time, Geng Gong went out of the city. The Han army descended like a divine soldier, slashing and killing in the rain. If there are few people, cut down many people, that is called one cut and one accurate. This burst of magic arrows and chaotic knives, the Northern Xiongnu finally couldn't hold on. They made an emergency U-turn and took their way to death...

However, this is only the second round. An even bigger test awaits Geng Gong and his Han soldiers!
