Volume 3: The Battle of the Mirror Men Chapter 237 really lives up to its former ambitions

Ban Chao saw that everyone had no different opinions, so he said: "I will write a detailed manuscript for the emperor tomorrow, and also ask General Kunlun Xiao to return to the court, present the emperor to describe the situation in the Western Regions in detail, and ask for reconciliation with Wusun." General Iron Hammer led He Gong and Yuwen Chu to rush back to Gumo, expanded each brigade to 1,000 people, strengthened training, and cooperated with Gumo Wang Huangfu to guard Gumo. The Gan Ying, Jiaju and Kaishan brigades also expanded by 1,000 troops. In addition, the Chinese army Wang Huzi selected soldiers, and expanded the length of the guard to 1,000 people, and all teams should strengthen training, and the soldiers will be slack if they do not practice for one day, loose if they do not practice for two days, and slack off if they do not practice for three days. In addition, all armies are strictly forbidden to engage in business, and they can open up wasteland and farm, and strive to be self-sufficient in grain. General Ren, you can organize a chamber of commerce, do business and make money to make military funds. Yuwen Chu said with a smile: "General Hesheng has the skill to make money, and the silk brought from Tianshui makes a lot of money, admire!" Admire! The crowd laughed.

Murong Hao laughed happily in his heart when he heard this: "The products of various countries in the Western Regions are different, Shanshan melons and fruits are sweet, and Pangong is intoxicating. Khotanese jade is valuable, and the sheepskin produced on its plateau has the advantages of lightness, softness and warmth, and is practical and durable to make military uniforms. The Shule River is densely packed with canals, the irrigation is developed, it is rich in grain, the military food is easy to raise, and it is rich in fine wine and sand jujube red. The pear produced by the turtle is called a mouthful of crisp, and it is very luscious. Music and dance are the best, and the different properties in different places create a God-sent opportunity for me to barter and make up for the shortages, and the money earned each year will definitely meet the needs of military funds. Shalihong sighed unconsciously and praised: "General Ren is really a business wizard!" In the future, he will be relieved and returned to the field, and he will definitely become the second Tao Zhu Gong in a few years. Murong Hao hugged his fists and said: "The old gentleman praises falsely, you are a veteran of the shopping mall, and I hope to give me a lot of advice." Gan Ying said with a smile: "The leopard head held a military meeting today, and you made a fortune meeting." The crowd laughed. Ban Chao said: "We can be willing to be poor, but we must not be poor. The country, the army, and the people all need wealth. The impoverished army, the armament is not in order, and the grain and straw are not able to fight the enemy. I am in the Western Regions, sacrificing myself for the country, and I will not think about personal wealth regardless of my life, so I am willing to stay poor. But we must attach great importance to food and financial work, and we must not be poor. The crowd nodded in goodness.

Kunlun thought for a while and said: "I will return to the DPRK to ask for an order, the intelligence work cannot be stopped, who should the leopard head be handed over?" Ban Chao said: "Intelligence work is very important, and I am directly responsible. All major brigades must constantly arrange sentry horses to spy on military intelligence. General Ren and General Sha should arrange more informants among businessmen and ordinary people. This time, General Sha's father and daughter went deep into Panjia City to find out important military information, and they made great contributions, and awarded General Sha's father and daughter 300 taels of silver. Sharijon clenched his fists and thanked him.

Kunlun smiled and said: "Shache Su and Khotan are not in harmony, this time the black tyrant will definitely find all the loopholes to sow discord in the Western Regions, in addition to sending more people to Qiuzi, Shache cannot be ignored." Ban Chao nodded yes again and again, and immediately arranged for capable personnel to go to Shache to inquire about the news.

After the meeting, Ban Chao repeatedly discussed with Kunlun Xiao, Iron Hammer, and Murong Hao, and determined that after Kunlun Xiao returned to Beijing, he would go to see Princess Dou Dan in time to understand the internal situation of the court, and hoped that the court could send a loyal and capable person as an envoy in order to complete the major event of mobilizing Wusun to send troops to help. Murong Hao specially prepared a galloping Khotanese jade carving to present to the emperor. Ban Chao also asked Kunlun Xiao to bring a pair of jade guns that he had prepared, and asked him to leave one for Ban Yong when he passed through Shanshan, and the other to bring back to his hometown in Beijing for his eldest son Ban Xiong. A pair of jade guns, one engraved with "Baojia", and the other with "Defending the Country", can be regarded as a commemorative thing for the two sons. Kunlun Xiao took the super-notebook and gifts from the south road to the Central Plains.

Come to Luoyang in less than a day. Looking back at the last time I entered Beijing, I was guarding the Western Regions in order to resist the decree, and I was bottomless and uneasy. Returning to Beijing today, the Western Regions won a great victory, and reported to the emperor, the emperor must be happy, in a different mood, and feel that time flies quickly. When I came to the capital, I saw that the prosperous territory of the capital was very different. Kunlun Xiao went to Ban Chao's house that night, and met his sister-in-law Qiao Liyun, Ban Chao's eldest son Ban Xiong was fourteen or fifteen years old. This time, you must take me to see Daddy and help Daddy fight the Black Decepticon, I have a lot of strength now. As he spoke, he raised his fist, revealing his sturdy little arms to Kunlun and smile. Kunlun Xiao pulled Ban Xiong into his arms, stroked his head and said, "Good nephew! Have ambition, you are still young, accompany your mother at home, read more military books, practice martial arts diligently, and I will take you there next time I come back. Ban Xiong pouted, and Mrs. Ban said: "Xiong'er, don't make trouble, look at this is the little jade gun that your father brought you." Ban Xiong took it and watched it under the lamp, but saw that the jade spear was seven or eight inches long, the white jade was shining under the light, and there were the words "Baojia" on the blade. Ban Xiong couldn't put it down when he saw it, pulled a frame in the house, and said loudly: "Come and get your name together!" The general Ban Xiong is an unknown person who does not die under the gun. As he spoke, he leaned forward and raised his gun. Mrs. Ban said: "I shout all day long that I want to join the army and kill the enemy, and I don't read the book well. Kunlun smiled and said: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, and the leopard head has led us in dozens of battles in the Western Regions, all with a sharp spirit, Banxiong's nephew has good ambition, very good." ”

Speaking of Ban Zhao and Dou Dan, they also learned that Kunlun smiled and returned to the court and came to visit.

Ban Zhao married Prime Minister Cao Shou under the mediation of the emperor, but Dou Dan insisted on not marrying. Kunlun smiled and saw the two of them come in, and hurriedly got up to salute. Kunlun smiled and saw that although Dou Dan did not change his appearance, crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he looked old.

Everyone sat down and asked, "The general has worked hard all the way, when will he return to the capital?" Kunlun smiled: "I only arrived in the afternoon." Ban Zhao saw Kunlun laughing at the country and forgetting home, and was moved to persuade in his heart: "When you come back, you will go to my brother's house, why don't you go to Chunfu to see your father-in-law quickly." Kunlun smiled and thanked him: "Passing through Shanshan, I have brought Ruyi and Kunlun Xiao back." Her mother and son had already returned home to visit their father. ”

Seeing that everyone's greetings were over, Dou Dan asked, "How are you in the Western Regions?" What has changed in the countries of the Western Regions? Kunlun smiled and cleared his throat and said very happily: "Iron Hammer and He Gong led the army to Shule, and the leopard head and Iron Hammer joined forces, and the situation was very different." Then he talked about how to set Gumo and Ping Panjia in detail. Everyone listened slowly, and Dou Dan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The leopard head really lives up to its former ambitions, although the Western Regions are not completely determined, but it has restrained the black tyrant and does not dare to go south, which is already a great contribution to the country." Ban Zhao also said: "I'm not praising my brother, my brother's contribution has surpassed Meng Tian and Wei Qing, which is also a blessing for the people of the country!" The crowd nodded.
