Ban Chao, the son of Ban Biao, a master of Eastern Han Dynasty historiography, rarely has great ambitions and informality, in the early years in Luoyang to copy books for a living, every day at the desk, often stop and throw down the pen sigh and say, "As a husband, although there is no outstanding strategy and talent, I should always learn from Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian, who have made contributions abroad, to make a marquis of Jinjue, how can I always do this ink for a living?" Everyone laughed at him, but Ban Chao said, "How can ordinary people understand the bosom of people with lofty ideals!" ”

This is the origin of the word Rong from the pen, Emperor Yongping of the Han Ming Dynasty in the sixteenth year, Fengche Du Wei Dou Gu and others sent troops to attack the Northern Xiongnu, Ban Chao followed the Northern Expedition, served as a false Sima in the army, and since then he has been on the stage that belongs to him, because he led the Han army to win in Yiwu and Pu Shihai successively, Ban Chao was appreciated by Dou Gu and sent him to envoy to the countries of the Western Regions.

After arriving in Shanshanguo, Ban Chao found that the king of Shanshan and the envoys of the Northern Xiongnu seemed to be colluding, so he gathered thirty-six of his subordinates, and the banquet general used "not entering the tiger's den to get the tiger" to incite his subordinates, and killed the Xiongnu envoy with lightning speed, so that the king of Shanshan had to submit to the Han Dynasty and send his prince to Chang'an as a hostage.

After that, he came to Khotan, beheaded the sorcerer who slandered the king of Khotan, and took the power of Ban Chao, the king of Khotan ordered to kill the envoy of the Northern Xiongnu, and reattached to the Han Dynasty, Ban Chao rewarded the king of Khotan and his courtiers, and successfully pacified Khotan. As a result, all the countries of the Western Regions sent their princes to Chang'an as hostages, and after 65 years of cutting off communications, the countries of the Western Regions re-became vassals of the Han Dynasty.

Then Ban Chao killed the king of Shule, who relied on the power of the Northern Huns to run rampant in the Tianshan Road, and set up the Qiuzi people to be named the king of Shule; After the death of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were in turmoil again, Ban Chao resisted the attacks of Yanqi, Qiuzi, Gumo and other countries in Panqi City for a year, after Emperor Zhang of Han ascended the throne, Ban Chao refused the imperial court's edict to let him return to China, defeated the rebels, broke through the Weitou country, and killed more than 600 people, so that Shule was stable again.

In the following years, Ban Chao proposed to Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty the strategy of "razing and razing", and in the Western Regions, he united horizontally and vertically, divided and won over all countries, and after a few years, the countries in the Western Regions except for Yanqi, Weixu, and Yuli were afraid of the Western Regions because of the killing of the Han Dynasty.

In order to solve these three small countries, Ban Chao sent a total of 70,000 troops from eight countries such as Qiuzi and Shanshan, and after some twists and turns, he finally arrested all the murderers who killed Chen Mu in the Western Regions, and killed them all in the old city where Chen Mu was stationed that year, and passed on the first Beijing division, since then the situation in the Western Regions has been completely stable, and Ban Chao was also named the Marquis of Dingyuan for his merits.

To say that this Ban Chao is more powerful than Zhang Qian, who I possessed back then, Zhang Qian only established the connection between the Han Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, but Ban Chao turned the entire Western Regions upside down with his own strength, those insidious and cunning, or unruly kings did not dare to disobey Ban Chao's orders, and did not allow the Han to send troops, Ban Chao was able to recruit troops from various countries and incorporate them under his command to destroy the enemy, this is really a great character.

Could it be that you will encounter tasks related to the Western Regions in the future? Li You faintly felt that Ban Chao might be as useful as Zheng He, who had helped him reverse the outcome of the Battle of Yashan before, so even if he admired him, he didn't dare to summon him now, but put it aside for the time being to start the second lottery.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten skill points, you can choose to add them at will." This mission is really entering a period of rapid upgrade, and when the task is completed, a good wave of skill points are rewarded, and now the lottery has drawn out skill points, it stands to reason that Li You's current command value and force value are almost enough, and you can consider focusing on politics and strategy, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until the third lottery is over before making a decision.

There were still countless icons flowing rapidly, and when he chose to stop, an icon representing the army remained on the panel, "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the qualification to summon 10,000 of the Tang Divine Army." ”

Datang Shence Army? Li You dug out the information of this army from his memory, and after thinking about it a little, he changed color greatly, "Wait a minute, is this Shence Army just established at the beginning or in the later stage?" ”

"Tang Hui Yao" recorded: "On July 17, the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan collected the nine songs of the Yellow River in the previous year, and asked him to divide his land and place it in Taoyang County, with a built-in army, and Cheng Ruxuan as the Taishou and a military envoy. "The name of the Shence Army originated from this, and at first it was just a border army set up by the Tang Dynasty to prevent and contain Tibet; In the Anshi Rebellion, this army of more than 1,000 people was led by the general Wei Boyu to come to the rescue, and participated in the battle of Xiangzhou in the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty to besiege Anqingxu.

The Shence Army gradually expanded in size since then, but still retained strong combat effectiveness, and fought alone in the rebellion of Zhu Zhu in the festival, cut off Zhu Zhu to recover the capital, and welcomed Tang Dezong back to the dynasty, so it was deeply reused by Tang Dezong, which greatly improved the treatment of the Shence Army, not only the military salary was three times that of the rest of the army, but also a lot of additional income.

Because of these reasons, the Shence Army has become a ladder for those powerful and wealthy children to be promoted to become wealthy, and a large number of gentlemen and sons are flooded with the consequences of the Shence Army, which gradually degenerated, lost its strong combat effectiveness, and finally disappeared in the long river of history after the Huangchao army.

That's why Li You asked, if this time it was the powerful Shence army that had just expanded the army, although it was not as invincible as the Yue family army and General Qi, but it was also an army with heroic and good fighting; But if it is the Shence army full of many gentlemen in the later stage, then it is better not to, lest they not only fail to help themselves complete the task, but also drag themselves back.

"It is the army under the jurisdiction of the Shaanzhou Jiedu Envoy and the army of Shence after merging." Tiger Fu's answer made Li You breathe a sigh of relief, this is the time when the combat effectiveness of the Shence Army is the strongest, not only brave but also very reliable, there is absolutely no problem.

That's good! Li You let go of his worries, looked at the remaining ten skill points and pondered, now he only has 10,000 troops to summon, don't worry about the problem of insufficient command value, as for personal force, the bonuses of various skills and divine weapons are enough to deal with the vast majority of tasks, so is it time to consider considering improving his political and strategic attributes?
