Time folds, the years are really a pig-killing knife, and no one can escape.

This is not a day in the mountains, but more than a hundred years in the world.

The hero Su Wu has already made an ancient appearance, and the mirror man Peony Khan still doesn't know where.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has also driven the crane to the west, and the new emperor ordered the demolition of the temple statue of Su Wu, a famous general of the previous dynasty, and also passed down a secret edict: Find the descendants of Su Wu, and kill them!

The secret edict was finally passed into the hands of Ban Chao.

Ban Chao held the secret edict in his hand, like sitting on pins and needles. No one knew that his ancestor was Su Wu's personal guard Ban Long, and he was deeply favored by Su Wu. If the slaughter is carried out, then Ban Chao is ungrateful; If you resist the decree, you won't be able to pass the emperor's pass.

Just when Ban Chao was in a dilemma, Master Yang Yun offered a plan, he said: "There is a Death Valley more than sixty miles away from us, and there is a group of bandits entrenched on the ridge. Your Excellency might as well lead a team of officers and soldiers to exterminate this group of bandits, and then lie that they are the descendants of the Su family. ”

Ban Chao thought about it and had no other way, so he had to nod in agreement.

Yang Yun said uneasily: "My lord, the bandits in Death Valley are extraordinary. It's better to send someone to investigate first, so you can be prepared! ”

Ban Chao said with a smile: "Just a thief, why bother doing this!" In order to avoid extraneous branches, tomorrow morning I will make food on the third watch, raise troops on the fourth watch, and lead 500 officers and soldiers is enough! ”

Just after the fourth watch the next day, Ban Chao was neatly dressed and led 500 officers and soldiers straight to the Valley of Death. When he came to the bottom of Death Valley, the sky had just brightened, and Ban Chao raised his eyes to watch, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The valley of death in front of him is thousands of feet high, the mountain peaks protrude, towering into the clouds, and a chicken-like path winds up to the top. From a distance, on the steep cliff, there is a walled gate, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Ban Chao pondered for a moment, the sky had just dawned, the bandits must still be asleep, and the opportunity could not be missed. He yelled behind him, "Rush! ”

The military order was like a mountain, and all the officers and soldiers unsheathed their swords, followed Ban Chao to kill the valley of death, and they were about to rush to the gate of the village.

Suddenly, there were bursts of gongs and drums in the village, and in an instant, many boulders and rolling logs were thrown and smashed head-on to Ban Chao and others. The mountain road was narrow, and the officers and men were crowded, and there was nowhere to hide, and many people were hit in the head, fell to the ground, and some fell into the deep ravine.

Ban Chao charged forward, the war horse under his crotch was hit in both legs, fell to his knees, and Ban Chao also fell off the horse. Everyone hurriedly rushed to Ban Chao and backed him down first.

Ban Chaoxin said: The bandits in Death Valley are indeed not to be underestimated. What is the best way to conquer Death Valley?

When Ban Chao was distressed, there was a burst of mountain singing in his ears, and with the singing, a woodcutter flashed out of the forest, looking about forty years old. Ban Chao ordered the woodcutter to come to him and asked him, "Are you familiar with Death Valley?" ”

The woodcutter honestly said: "I collect firewood on the ridge all year round, and I know the valley of death very well. ”

Ban Chao was overjoyed and said, "Today, we are ordered by the emperor to come and exterminate the bandits in the Valley of Death!" ”

The woodcutter immediately said in embarrassment, "Where did the bandits come from?" Kunlun, a good man on Death Valley, not only did not commit any offence to our fellow villagers, but also often gave money! If it weren't for the Kunlun smile and Zhou Ji in a radius of dozens of miles in the Valley of Death, the people might have been miserable and miserable......"

Ban Chao was secretly stunned, but now he is ready to send it! He gave the order to go down and let the woodcutter lead the way, and then go up from the back hill. The woodcutter did not dare to disobey, so he had to agree.

Ban Chao immediately ordered his subordinate general Deng Yu to gather more than 100 capable officers and soldiers and prepare to go up the mountain.

Deng Yu received the order: "Please rest assured, you wait at the bottom of the ridge, listen to me fire a cannon at the peak, and then attack on both sides and break the valley of death!" ”
