Spring arrives in the Western Regions, the oasis is full of birds and flowers, and the main body of Shanshan Wangcheng has also been built. Under the leadership of the commander Niu Makita, the city is three feet high and very strong, with a piece of stone as the base and the soil as the wall (commonly known as the dry base). The royal city is rectangular, about five miles long, three miles wide, there are six city gates in total, there are enemy towers above the city gates, and the two city gates in the north and south also built the urn city, which is convenient for concentrating troops to defend. King Shanshan saw that the people's hearts returned to Han, the city was strong, the army was well-trained under the guidance of Ban Chao, and even the 3,000 female soldiers trained by Luxiang were also quite large-scale, and he was overjoyed, so he set up a banquet to thank Ban Chao and others.

King Shanshan said with a smile: "General Ban and General Niu have worked tirelessly to repair the royal city so strong in less than two months, and this king respects you." Ban Chao raised his glass with both hands and said: "Thank you for the banquet from the king, General Geng is now leading the army to guard in Yiwu Tuntian, and Shanshan has become a horn." The Shanshan royal city is strong, the army and the people are concentric, and the black overlord will never dare to despise it. We wish Shanshan, the country and the people peace. "Raise your glass and drink. King Shanshan put down the wine cup and said: "The general is all-round in civil and military affairs, and he is also a true god." This time, I came to our country from thousands of miles, and it is really a blessing for our people. Ban Chaoqian said: "The king is too famous." ”

General Che Yueshan borrowed the strength of the wine and said with a smile: "General Ban, before the prime minister of Chunguo went to the Han Dynasty, he had proposed marriage to General Ban and Princess Xiangxiang in front of my king, and I also learned that the daughter of the prime minister of Chunguo Ruyi and General Kunlun Xiao were in love, and now that the royal city is repaired, the people are happy, it is better to take advantage of the festivities and handle the marriage. King Shanshan sighed: "General Che is very right, I don't know what General Ban thinks?" Governor Ban Chao has come here, and he has a good relationship in the capital, and at this time, when he mentions luxury, his heart is difficult to calm down, so he said: "I also have a good relationship." Che Yueshan smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's okay!" The general can take a concubine! It's the fruit of my reconciliation between Shanshan and Dahan. ”

Ban Chao replied: "Don't mention this matter, opening up the South Road is like a thousand pounds of heavy burden on my shoulders." ”

At this time, the guards came to report: "The envoy of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has arrived." King Shanshan said: "Hurry up and take the order." "The envoy is Han Sima Chen Mu. Chen Mu announced Emperor Zhang's will, praised Shanshan for returning to the Han Dynasty, and gave a large number of jewels and satin. King Shanshan is more than grateful. Chen Mu then announced that Ban Chao was the general Sima and arbitrarily decided the affairs of the Western Regions. Ban Chao thanked the emperor.

In the Yingyi Pavilion, Ban Chao, Kunlun Xiao, Niu Mutian and Chen Mu chatted freely. Chen Mu said: "The leopard head subdued Shanshan with thirty-six strong men, and the emperor was very happy. I hereby order you to continue westward, and please read the letter of the great general Dou Qianjian. Ban Chao took the letter and read it, and the general gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the imperial court, and said that Ban Chao wanted to go west to the Peerless Territory, and he could mobilize troops from Iwuduo to go with him. Ban Chao said to Chen Mu: "Thank you for the general's kindness, please ask the general to restore the general." In this westward battle against the Great Han Shengde, we analyzed the interests and disadvantages of the countries in the Western Regions, improvised, and persuaded people with virtue without relying on force. Even if I bring a thousand people, I will not be able to conquer all countries, I will continue to lead thirty-six strong men to the west, determined to recover the countries of the Western Regions, in order to restore the prestige of the Han Celestial Empire. ”

Chen Mu said: "The general's ambitions are lofty, Chen admires him very much, but the people in the Western Regions don't understand etiquette and righteousness, and they are greedy for money, so the general must pay attention." Ban Chao said: "General Xie reminds us that we must be careful." Chen Mu said: "This also brings your mother's letter." Chen Mu turned sideways and saw Kunlun sitting in his hand and smiled: "Listening to the tone of Prime Minister Chun, I dare to love the old father-in-law." Here are his letters to you and Miss Ruyi. After speaking, he took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Kunlun Xiao.

Kunlun smiled and nodded in thanks. After Chen Mu saw that the two of them had read the letter briefly, he continued: "Shanshanguo's affairs are over, and I will return to the court tomorrow to restore the decree, I don't know what else you have to do?" Ban Chao said: "The general has worked hard all the way. The imperial court and the Western Regions are thousands of miles apart, it is difficult to communicate with each other, the general came to Shanshan this time, and saw with his own eyes that most of the people in the Western Regions were to the Han Dynasty. Chen Mu praised: "General Ban has the ambition to restore the Western Regions Protectorate, his ambition is commendable, I hope that General Ban will succeed as soon as possible, as for the restoration of the capital, it is not trivial, wait for me to return to the Ming Dynasty." ”

The next day, Chen Mu returned to the DPRK to resume his life.

General Che's Mansion, Ban Chao, Kunlun Xiao and others are here. Che Yueshan said: "My king has agreed to your marriage, why don't the generals get married before they go away?" Ban Chao's sword eyebrows flashed, and he said sincerely: "The general's kindness will be understood." This time I went to the southern foot of the Western Regions, and the bad luck was unpredictable, and Khotan and Qiuzi were not far from the city of Panqi in the court of Shule Wang, and Hei Batian must be strict with his guardianship. If you want to say that it will return to the Han Dynasty, it will take a lot of time, and the success or failure is still unpredictable, Kunlun Xiao and I have repeatedly discussed, in order not to miss the future of the two girls, we will not get married for the time being. Huo Quai, the general of the former dynasty, said: 'How can the black overlord be his home if he is not destroyed.' This bold statement stirred my heart. Today, the Han Dynasty is revived, and the Holy God has granted me the right to arbitrary, with the general taking care of me, and the help of the monarchs and ministers of Shanshan State, and 36 strong men working together. We must seize the opportunity to persuade Khotan and Qiuzi. When I'm done, I'll marry again. Che Yueshan scratched his head and praised Ban Chao and Kunlun Xiao: "The general puts the country before himself, which is respectable and admirable. ”
