Volume 3: The Battle of the Mirror Men Chapter 220 Cattle and sheep grain is the target of the Black Tyrant's looting
It turned out that after Xi dispersed, Gan Ying was irritable and ran to the courtyard to make a long spear, feeling that the anger in her chest was unsettled, but she didn't know how to vent. muttered in his mouth: "What the fuck is Chincha! See if I don't twist your dog's head! Why is it so difficult to serve the imperial court for the country? Seeing this, Sha Xue didn't dare to persuade him, so she hurriedly called her father Sha Lihong, and the father and daughter saw that Gan Ying was anxious, and there was nothing they could do. Sha Xue saw that the lights in Banchao's room were still on, so she said to Gan Ying: "Don't be angry, the lights in Banchao's leopard's head room are still on, let's go see them, okay?" Gan Ying said angrily: "What's the use of seeing?" If you don't return to China, the dog emperor will kill his sister-in-law and nephew, go back to China, this cause will be abandoned halfway, and the people of the Western Regions will suffer again. Sha Xue said softly: "Dad is also here, let's take a look at the leopard's head together, we can't sleep anyway." ”
Seeing that Gan Ying was silent, he pulled Gan Ying and his father Sha Lihong to Ban Chao's room together, and heard Ban Chao tell emotionally, the three of them were silent, and Gan Ying pushed the door open, "Bu Tong!" Kneeling in front of Ban Chao and said loudly: "Leopard head, go back!" Sha Xue and I are in Khotan, and if the black tyrant comes, I will fight to the death with them. Returning to China will also be subject to the anger of traitorous ministers like Gongsun Miao. It's better to do it vigorously in the Western Regions, even if you die, it is better than being idle by traitors in the back dynasty! Ban Chao hurriedly helped Gan Ying up and said: "Brother Xian, please sit down, I and other thirty-six brothers, live and die together, share honor and disgrace, how can I leave you in the Western Regions?" Kunlun smiled and frowned and lowered his head in contemplation, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "The current emperor is a wise lord, but he has been deceived by traitorous ministers, if he can meet the emperor and state the pros and cons, things may have a turnaround." ”
Ban Chao sighed: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and I am waiting for the official position, so what if I have the opportunity to present it in detail?" At this time, Shalihong interjected: "I don't know much about the situation of the Han court. As a merchant, you have to weigh the pros and cons, buy and sell to make a profit. I think you have stayed in the Western Regions to make contributions, and there are four benefits. Sha Xue pushed her father and said, "Daddy, this is not a business, what's the use of profit?" Kunlun said with a smile: "Brother and sister, don't worry, listen to the uncle talk about the four benefits, we can also refer to it." Sha Lihong said: "If the princes stay in the Western Regions, one can ensure the safety of the Western Regions, and this one is also beneficial; The second can hit the back of the black tyrant so that it cannot invade the south, and this two benefits are also; Third, it does not cost the court money and food, and these three benefits are also; The Western Regions are open, merchants and merchants exchange markets, silk comes to the north, and jade goes to the south, communicate with each other, invigorate the economy, enrich the people, and the imperial court sets up customs to collect taxes, and these four benefits are also. Therefore, I intend that the princes should stay in the Western Regions. ”
Gan Ying smiled when he heard this: "Daddy is reasonable, I didn't expect that people who do business talk about state affairs. Sha Xue was happy when she saw Gan Ying praising her father, and said to Gan Ying: "It's not ashamed to boast about yourself, let's listen to the leopard's opinion." Ban Chao said: "Uncle's four benefits are very reasonable, leave there are four benefits, and when you go back, these four benefits will become four evils." Gan Ying said: "The court is unknown, the leopard head has made great contributions to the Western Regions, but the leopard head was not allowed to be the protector, and the greedy and stupid Chen Mu was used as the protector, which resulted in Chen Mu's life." General Geng Gong fought alone, was loyal and brave, and died for a lifetime, but when he returned to the dynasty, he was named a captain. And Gongsun Miao and his ilk were defenseless, and they actually became the prime minister of Taihua and an important minister of the imperial court. If the leopard's head goes back like this, I don't think there will be any good fruit to eat. ”
Ban Chao sighed again and said: "The former emperor and the current emperor are already wise lords, don't any dynasty and generation have loyal ministers and good generals who will abandon them?" General Li Guang of the previous dynasty was brave and good at fighting, and more than 70 battles with the size of the black tyrant, invincible, the black tyrant was called the flying general, and he avoided the wind far away, but only 2,000 stones were sealed for life. Jia Yi, a talented man, learned to be rich in five cars, and talented in eight buckets, his "Treatise on Qin" and "Public Security Policy" were spurred into the inside, which was actually a good policy for governing the country, and in the end it was not reused, and he died of depression. Those ministers who hinder merit and harm energy, all the marquis of ten thousand households, and those whose relatives are greedy are all slaughtered by Lang Temple. As long as the court has six points of wisdom, it is also a blessing for the people. Kunlun smiled and saw that Ban Chao's mood was stable, although he had some bold ideas in his heart, but he felt that he was still immature, and he needed to be considered in detail, so he said: "It's almost dawn, tomorrow I will go to the king of Khotan to say goodbye, see the situation and then make the next step, everyone should go back to sleep for a while." Then they all left.
The next day, Ban Chao led Kunlun Xiao and Gan Ying to meet the king of Khotan, and the king of Guangde saw that Ban Chao was demoted to greet him, and entered the palace hall hand in hand, and it happened that the general Asalan also came to see the king of Guangde. Everyone sat down, and the maid offered milk tea to everyone, only to hear King Guangde laugh and say: "Changshi, please taste this fragrant milk tea." This year's grain harvest, the trade route is smooth, the Central Plains silk and porcelain come with the camel bell, our country's beautiful jade and fur go with the camel bell, the agricultural harvest is abundant, the business is prosperous, the country is strong and the people are safe. This is all a great achievement in the long history. Ban Chao reluctantly smiled and said: "The king has won the award, this is all the way the king governs the country, and it is really a blessing for the people." Both King Guangde and Asalan burst out laughing.
Asalan said to Ban Chao: "The general led five thousand elite cavalry, ran three thousand miles, and defeated the tens of thousands of troops of King Zuo Xian in one fell swoop. My Khotanese army has become an elite division under the training of the general, and the neighboring countries are all shocked when they return from this great victory, ha! Ha! Ha! He laughed. King Guangde also said excitedly: "Our country's soldiers are far away, those rogue horse thieves know that I am brave and good at fighting in the army of Khotan, and they are so frightened that they flee without suppression, and the merchants who come and go can rest assured, the caravan will increase, and the imperial court tariffs can also be greatly increased. He laughed out loud again.
Ban Chao saw that King Guangde was elated, and it was difficult to open his mouth several times when he wanted to resign. Seeing this, Kunlun smiled and had no choice but to bow his hand and say to King Guangde: "The king's praise for the history of the squad leader will be remembered from the bottom of my heart and will never be forgotten." O king! The Emperor of the Han Dynasty had sent an edict to send a special envoy to Shule, ordering Changshi to return to China immediately. King Guangde was taken aback when he heard this, and the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "bell", and the general Asalan was also shocked, and the milk tea in the cup overflowed. King Guangde was stunned and asked, "The edict ordered Changshi to return to China, how can this be done?" How does this work? Asalan said: "The Han Emperor ordered General Ban to return to the court, I don't know what is important, when can I return to the Western Regions?" Kunlun smiled and bowed his head and said: "The Han court knew that Chen Mu was defeated and the Che Shi rebelled, and after listening to the villain's words, he wanted to abandon the Western Regions and defend Hexi. King Guangde was horrified and said: "The Han is going to abandon me again, and after the ambassador leaves, Shache and other countries will have different hearts, and the black tyrant will come back, and we will not be able to live in peace." Seeing this, Asalan grabbed Ban Chao's hand and said, "Changshi must not abandon me and wait." There is a long history here, coordinating all countries, and all countries are safe. In recent years, the countries of the southern province have been safe and secure, thanks to the protection of Changshi, the long history is gone, Heibatian has returned, the people have been rich in recent years, the treasury is full, these cattle and sheep grain is the target of Heibatian's looting, Changshi can't go! ”
