Huangfu Wuji became the king of Gumo, and according to Ban Chao's opinion, three royal decrees were immediately announced and announced: the first is to reduce and exempt land taxes and tariffs, and encourage farming, weaving and trade; the second is the home for the wounded and wounded; The third is to select soldiers to form a combat army of 3,000 people, which is trained by Liu Rui. Because Liu Rui trained with Ban Chao in Shanshan and Khotan, he had a lot of experience, and the new army was immediately vigorous and disciplined as soon as it was reorganized. When the people of the country saw that the new king's decree was new, it was in line with the people's will, and they were all satisfied. The border city guards also surrendered. Ban Chao and Kunlun Xiao also often inspected the city defense and people's conditions, and ordered Liu Rui to hand over the four guards to Huangfu Wuji, and ordered his army to be stationed in the Wangcheng barracks for closed training.

A few days after Iron Hammer led the army away, Hu Tou sent someone to report urgently: Fanjia conspired against the siege of Panjia City, and the king's guard also moved, asking Ban Chao to quickly return to the division to exterminate the traitors. Ban Chao immediately ordered: "Herald, you immediately go back to Shule and tell Hu Tou to hold on and wait for delay, and I will lead the army to arrive in two days." As soon as I arrived, I asked General Hu to raise fire at the east and west gates, and a large army would descend from the sky to destroy the rebels. "The herald salutes and goes out. Ban Chaozhong's protector Wang Huzi had prepared two horses at the door, and when he saw the herald coming out, he handed the two horses to the herald and said: "Don't stop the horses, go and report quickly." The herald galloped away.

Ban Chao summoned Kunlun Xiao to lead the Ding Jiaju brigade to immediately go out of the city to rescue Hu Tou. Huangfu Wuji and Liu Rui came to resign, and Ban Chao said: "This will break the Fanjia, you and others should strengthen their vigilance and put a guard in the direction of Qiuzi." Don't disturb the people, the people are safe, and the country is stable. The two of them said together: "Changshi rest assured, I wish Changshi success and exterminate Fanga." ”

After Ban Chao led the army away, Hu Tou and Cheng Tatar carefully defended the city and sent spies to Artush to inquire about the news. Suddenly, I heard that Fanjia raised 8,000 troops to attack Panjia City, Hu Tou led an army to defend the city, and Cheng Tartar led a guard to protect the palace.

said that Hei Batian urgently summoned Jin to see Fanjia, and the three of them sat down. Hei Batian said: "The spies came to report, Ban Chao led the soldiers of Shule Panjiao City to attack Gumo, and only Hu Tou defended the city." It takes ten days to go back and forth from Shule to Gumo, the king of Gumo is brave and good at fighting, there are 20,000 elite soldiers, Ban Chao led thousands of people to attack, the king of Gumo waits for work, wins more with less, and the attack of Ban Chao will not succeed. I and the king of Gumo have already decided, Ban Chao to attack, King Gumo led the army to wait for the work to preemptively, take advantage of Ban Chao's exhaustion to catch him off guard, it is better to completely defeat Ban Chao, if you can't completely defeat Ban Chao, also give him major damage, frustrate his spirit. Then enter the city to hold on, the king of Qiuzi and the general of the black tyranny, Hu Delu, will raise a large army to aid the king of Gumo, although Ban Chao is good at fighting, but under the fortified city, what can he do. Lord Fanjia took advantage of this opportunity to raise troops to capture Panjia City, solved Hu Tou, cut off Ban Chao's back road, and then let General Jin Tu lead Shule men and horses to attack Ban Chao, Ban Chao has three heads and six arms, and he can't stop the combined attack of my three-way army. Baga raised his fist and said, "Great! The sister kept sending people, saying that the king of Shule was increasingly dissatisfied with the state minister Cheng Tar and Hu Tou, and hoped that I would lead the army to the king, and now the opportunity has come, I will do my best to eliminate Hu Tou with the army of Artush, cut off the back road of Ban Chao, and drive him out of the Tianshan Mountains! Hei Batian said: "This is very good, please send troops immediately to order Jin Tu to be the vanguard, and I will march with the adults." Jin Tu said: "Obey!" ”

Panga ordered Artush 8,000 men and horses, claiming that all 10,000 men were dispatched to attack Panjia City.

But it is said that Fanga led his army to the south gate of the city of Shule Panjiao, and when he saw that the gate was closed, he shouted to open the door. Hu Tou stood at the head of the city and said loudly: "Lord Fan, you don't defend Artush, and now you lead a large army to besiege the royal city, do you want to rebel?!" Fanga said angrily: "I led the army back to the city by the king's secret order, and if you don't open the door, I think you will rebel!" Hu Tou said sharply: "Where is the king's secret purpose?" Your false message of the king's order has been revealed, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible, the king can spare you from death! Jin suddenly saw that Hu Tou was unprepared, and shot an arrow at Hu Tou's face with a bow, Hu Tou heard the sound of the bowstring and hurriedly squatted, and the arrow hit the soldiers defending the city behind him. Hu Tong shouted angrily and ordered the arrows to be released, and the arrows were shot down at the head of the city, and the Fanjia and others retreated sharply beyond the range.

Seeing that Hu Tou was prepared, Hei Batian was secretly surprised in his heart, but said quietly: "Today's army is working hard from afar, stationed overnight and attacking the city tomorrow, we must capture the royal city in one go, so as to cut off the way back." Jin Tu said: "Our army is divided into four gates, surround the city, and attack on all sides tomorrow, there are only two or three thousand people in the city. Ranga applauded. Hei Batian smiled and said: "We intend to attack the city, not to destroy the enemy, only to attack the south gate, let go of the three sides, the defenders of the city saw me storming the south gate, their hearts were broken, and they ran away when they saw that the other three gates were attacking without soldiers." If they attack from all sides, and the soldiers see that there is no way to escape, they will definitely defend to the death, and the casualties of the city will be heavy. Moreover, our army only has seven or eight thousand people, and after dispersing, it will not be able to form a fist and will definitely not be able to capture Panjia City. If Ban Chao returns to the army to save him, our army will be in danger. "Fanjia and Jin suddenly saw that Hei Batian's analysis was reasonable, and they were all convinced.

On the morning of the next day, the Panga army slammed into the south gate, and at noon the Panga army suffered hundreds of casualties, Jin suddenly saw that both the attack and defense were exhausted, and led the master to dare to die bravely to climb the city. When the Panga soldiers saw Jin Tu ascend to the top of the city, they also desperately climbed the city under the battle of Pangadu. Hu Nuxiong smiled and said to Fanjia: "Capture this city and kill Hu Tou, you will be a general." Fanga grinned and said, "Lord Xie is very helpful." ”

The more and more Fanjia soldiers went up, Hu Tou led the guards to fight to the death, and suddenly heard the north gate guards report that Ban Chao led the army to enter the city from the north gate. Hu Tou shouted: "Quickly light a fire at the head of the city and send a signal." "The soldier set fire to three piles of dry firewood piled on top of the enemy's tower. After a while, I saw the dust behind the siege army of Fanga, and Iron Hammer led a large group of men and horses to show off their might, cutting melons and vegetables and rushing into the Panga army.
