On the second day, early in the morning, the ruins of Niya, the blue sky was like washing, the sky was clear, and the wind was beautiful.

The sunrise over the desert, what a magnificent view.

The sun is slowly rising, the clouds on the horizon are slowly changing colors, and the colors of the desert are constantly changing, from pale yellow to golden...

Under the reflection of this morning glow, the thick sand mountain also adds a lot of softness.

The sea of sand is vast and endless, and the delicate curved parallel arrangement of sand lines on the surface of the sand dunes flows gently like a trickling stream, gently gliding through, until it reaches the golden horizon in the distance.

The bunker wall that everyone worked together yesterday is now like a reef in the sea, standing in the vast sea of sand.

The six camels behind the bunker wall also looked leisurely at the moment, worthy of being a desert boat.

"Ah~~~~~~h

Soon, everyone walked out of the underground stone chamber one by one.

The moment you look into the distance, you can see the magnificent and boundless beauty, and everyone is obviously deeply shocked by this scene.

Uncle Kurban threw himself on the sand, folded his hands above his head, and then withdrew them and thanked Allah with a sincere prayer.

Lu Qinglian and Lin Feng ran excitedly in the sea of sand, leaving a long list of clear footprints.

Chen Xi sat on the sand dune and quietly looked at the sky.

Yuan Haochen raised his hands, bathed in the morning sun, and closed his eyes in meditation

Because of this unique beautiful scenery and the experience of escaping from the tiger's mouth, this day is really an unforgettable day

After cleaning up, everyone decided to leave for the county seat.

"Lin Feng, after reading the tadpole text all night, do you have any gains?" Chen Xi asked with interest.

Everyone also looked at it attentively, with a look of anticipation on their faces. "I probably understand something, it records the heroic deeds of a general." Lin Feng said, "When I return to the county seat, I will immediately send it to Lu Wen's experts to help translate." ”

"General" Yuan Haochen suddenly remembered the fantasy and real dream last night, and muttered to himself.

"Wow, General Loulan, it's a big discovery." Lu Qinglian on the side said excitedly.

"I'm disappointing you again, the general recorded is not from Loulan, he is a general of the Han Dynasty, if I guessed correctly, it should be Ban Chao." Lin Feng said firmly.

"Ban Chao! Is the writing on the stone wall valuable? Is it a big discovery? Lu Qinglian then asked again.

"Hahaha, a great discovery!" Lin Feng said with a laugh.

The return journey was quite smooth, and after several hours of trekking, the group returned to the village.

"Uncle Kurban, thank you so much." The four of Yuan Haochen expressed their gratitude and said.

"Well, I'm glad too, I'm glad to drop, Yaxi." Uncle Kurban replied with his hands crossed over his chest and a smile on his face.

"Yakesi, Yakesi, we're going to give you an oversized pennant." Lu Qinglian said with a smile

After saying goodbye to Uncle Kurban and returning to Minfeng County, everyone went their separate ways.

Yuan Haochen first reported to Li Huiqun the important discovery of the Niya ruins and the next plan of action.

His intuition told him that there must be a clue to the meteorite in this wall, and he was full of anticipation.

As soon as Lin Feng returned to the county seat, he passed the photographed wall text to the relevant scholars for translation, and if it went well, there would be results in the evening.

After dinner, the four members of the scientific expedition team got together again.

Lin Feng excitedly held a few translated wall texts, his eyes lit up, and he kept talking, which recorded important historical materials.

Without waiting for Lin Feng to finish speaking, everyone snatched the translation from Lin Feng's hand and couldn't wait to read it.

The translation recounts Ban Chao's remarkable experience in Shanshanguo (i.e., Loulan).

With the help of Lin Feng's supplementary historical materials from time to time, everyone slowly understood this long-sealed past.

Ban Chaozi Zhongsheng, a native of Pingling, was born in a famous family, informal, unrestrained, unrestrained, the youngest son of the historian Ban Biao, and the younger brother of Ban Gu.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang was the central area of the country's politics and economy at that time.

Such a prosperous place is the best breeding ground for men to realize their dreams.

However, when Ban Chao first came, he was forced to follow his brother to copy books and revise history for his livelihood.

Copying books and repairing history is not a bad thing in itself, and it is not difficult for the talented Ban Chao.

It's just that everyone is born with their own work that they are destined to accomplish. Copying books and repairing history may be a beautiful destination for Ban Gu, but for Ban Chao, it is far from enough.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty set up the capital of the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions have actually maintained relatively good relations with the Western Han Dynasty.

However, this relationship was broken by the general resentment caused by Wang Mang's deposition of the kings of the Western Regions during the reform.

In 16 A.D., the army led by Li Chongsuo, the general of the capital sent by Wang Mang to the Western Regions, was wiped out by Yanqi, Gumo and other countries. After Li Chong's death, the Western Regions kingdoms completely severed their ties with the Central Plains Dynasty. The Xiongnu, who were openly split from the Xinmang Dynasty, took the opportunity to expand their power and prepare to reconquer the Western Regions.

In 38 AD, under the threat of the Xiongnu, the Shache and Shanshan countries of the Western Regions sent envoys to Luoyang to pay tribute, and asked the government of the Eastern Han Dynasty to send the capital protector.

In 45 A.D., Shanshan, Cheshi and other sixteen countries sent their sons to serve, and once again asked to send the capital to protect them.

Later, the countries of the Western Regions attacked each other and were finally controlled by the Xiongnu.

After the development of this period, the Xiongnu also repeatedly violated the border and threatened the Hexi counties of the Han Dynasty.

In such an environment, the Han Dynasty finally couldn't bear it anymore. Dou Gu, the commander of the Che capital, was ordered to attack the Xiongnu.

Ban Chao, who abandoned his pen and went out from Rong together, did not attack Yiwu, fought in the Pu Sea, and returned with many beheadings.

In that year, Ban Chao envoy went to Shanshan (i.e., Loulan).

Shanshan is located in the silk artery, and the water and soil are fertile and abundant, which can be described as a blessed land in the desert.

Gaining Shanshan's support was extremely helpful in maintaining the Han Dynasty's control over the entire Western Regions.

When Ban Chao had just set foot on the land of Shanshan, King Shanshan warmly entertained them. But before long, it became more and more cold day by day.

Ban Chao guessed the secret: they had just arrived, and the Hun envoy followed.

So, Ban Chao called the Shanshan waiter who received them, and asked him unexpectedly: "The Huns have been here for a few days, do you care about today?" ”

The waiter obviously didn't think of how the secret was leaked, and in a hurry, he couldn't say anything, so he told the real situation, which coincided with Ban Chao's conjecture.

This is a very dangerous signal for Ban Chao and his party.

King Shanshan concealed the fact that the Xiongnu envoys had arrived, which in itself was an extremely unfriendly move towards the Han Dynasty mission.

King Shanshan's confidence in the Han Dynasty was apparently shaken by the Xiongnu's visit.

In response to this situation, Ban Chao first imprisoned the waiter to prevent leakage of news. Then, at once, he summoned all his subordinates and feasted and drank wine.

When his subordinates were drunk, Ban Chao suddenly stood up and said awe-inspiringly: "Qing Cao and I are in the Peerless Domain, and we want to make great contributions in order to seek wealth and nobility." Today, the captives will be cut for a few days, and Wang Guang will be abolished; If Shanshan is ordered to accept my subordinates and send them to the Huns, the bones will grow into jackals to eat. What can I do about it? ”

The subordinates suddenly woke up halfway from drinking: "Now in the land of peril, death and life are from Sima (Ban Chao's official position)." ”

It was night, and the wind was fierce. The Hun mission was resting in its own station, when it suddenly heard a rapid drum beating.

Immediately afterward, shouts came from outside, like thousands of troops.

Several Huns hurriedly rushed out, only to find that the entire camp had been surrounded by a sea of fire at some point.

The Huns instantly fell into confusion and were busy fleeing. However, arrows flew from time to time in the shadows, and warriors armed with swords and spears were guarding beyond the flames, like the grim reaper of the night.

In the battle, Ban Chao eliminated three Huns, his subordinates also killed more than thirty people, and the rest of the Huns were killed in the fire. The Huns would never have imagined that the "thousands of troops" who besieged them to death were only thirty-six men.

When King Shanshan was invited by Ban Chao, he realized that it was too late.

However, what people didn't expect was that after Ban Chao did such a bloody thing, he only persuaded King Shanshan with kind words, showing that he had never regarded Shanshan as an enemy.

That night, the suburbs of Shanshan Wangcheng suddenly shook the mountains, and the sky was loud like thunder, it was a spark, and it was seen far and near, and the fire shone brightly on the sky.

In the early morning of the next day, the Shanshan people got a [flying stone outside the sky] in the suburbs of Wangcheng, the flying stone was one zhang long and wide, and weighed 10,000 catties.

Its stone is shocked to appear Chinese characters such as Douda, said "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", and the Central Plains handed down the country jade seal in the same book.

Shanshan Wangcheng was shocked, thinking that it was the destiny of heaven. King Shanshan also had to give his child to Ban Chao as a proton of the Han Dynasty as a sign of submission
