"The lord of Khotan is called Guangde, and not long ago, with the support of the Northern Xiongnu, he just sent troops to break through the Shache country, which can be regarded as the dominant among the small countries in the southern Tianshan Mountains.

It's a little bit of a and coaxing, and now it's getting terrified.

It is estimated that it will be a little difficult for him to take refuge in the big man.

The main reason is that the Northern Xiongnu sent an envoy who was stationed here for a long time; Externally, it is said that it is under the guardianship of Khotan, but in fact, it is equivalent to the envoys of the Northern Xiongnu who secretly hold a lot of power.

In addition, the witch style is prevalent in Khotan, and those witches have no specific sect, and they feel like dancing gods.

The witch of Khotan, in fact, is an old woman, who is very valued by the lord of the country Guangde and the whole country.

However, according to my private inquiry, this old woman has actually taken refuge in the envoy of the Northern Huns. ”

Five minutes later, in addition to the blood that had not been wiped clean between the nasal cavities, Yu Hanfeng also had a pair of eye sockets the color of a giant panda, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

From the hem, he cut two small strips of cloth with a knife and blocked his nostrils.

Yu Hanfeng first said some news that he had found out in Xicheng in the recent past; In the following time, he began to answer the questions that Hu Biao and others were concerned about:

"We set up a training camp in the capital of Khotan, about one or two hundred miles west of Xicheng, in a place called Hongbai Mountain.

I won't talk about the specific process, anyway, although it is a little troublesome, it is also fortunate not to be dishonored.

Let's talk about the results.

At present, we have 118 elite fighters who can be fully trusted, and they are equipped with equipment produced by Wolf Green and Warehouse Management.

The equipment is basically made of 100 steel, which is at least one era stronger than the natives of the Huns, so the combat effectiveness is quite good.

In addition, there are 332 war slaves under his command, and the equipment is almost worse than the elite, but it is also stronger than the Huns.

Therefore, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of these war slaves is stronger than that of ordinary Hu people, and it should be similar to that of the Huns.

Finally, there are 500 to 800 people to use cannon fodder.

The reason why the data of this cannon fodder is so different is because they are all members of small tribes in the surrounding areas, and they will follow us from time to time to vote, so the specific number is not easy to determine. ”

After hearing the above data, Hu Biao and others were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.

The main reason is that I didn't expect that Yang Dongli and others would actually toss up such a big movement; But then came great joy.

Joke! All of them add up to nearly 12,300 people.

In the Central Plains, such a small number of troops is naturally nothing.

Coupled with the strengthening of the 100-steel refining equipment, the actual combat effectiveness of these people is in the Western Regions, which is stronger than that of many small countries, and they can destroy a country in one battle.

With such a strength, what task can't be completed?

But what they didn't know was that there were now thousands of Hun cavalry, and they were also secretly marching towards Khotan; After planning to find the envoy stationed in Khotan, he dispatched a large army to destroy Shanshanguo and Ban Chao and others.

Of course, these people don't know the existence of Yang Dongli and others.

Such a point can be regarded as fair; It's just that when the two sides find out about each other's existence, the mood at that time will be very exciting......

*******

By the time Ban Chao, who had gone to the banquet, returned from the palace of the lord of Shanshan, it was already early four o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing this, Hu Biao hurriedly took Yu Hanfeng to meet him, and talked about some of the things that had happened to Yang Dongli and others in the past three or four months.

Specifically, it means that they were lucky to get a batch of excellent gems and treasures.

Then, with such a batch of precious stones, they bought some slaves and supplies in Khotan, and settled down in the Red and White Mountains.

Today, there are hundreds of elite Hu people who can be trusted; And these men are well-armoured and combative.

In the conflict with horse bandits and sand thieves, some slaves were also captured and used as war slaves.

In short, in order not to frighten Ban Chao, under such a very misleading statement, Ban Chao will have an illusion, as if they have two or three hundred people behind them.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are not deceiving Ban Chao by saying this, those cannon fodder are those who are fighting with their own dry food, and they do not belong to their manpower at all.

As for the back, the number of people who appeared was obviously different from what Ban Chao expected, and when the time came, it was just an excuse to explain.

In addition, Yu Hanfeng will also inquire about the situation in Khotan.

Some Xiongnu envoys were stationed in the capital, and the lord of the country, Guangde, with the support of the Huns in the back, had just conquered the Shache country and other places, and was in the limelight in the southern Tianshan Province and so on.

After listening carefully to Yu Hanfeng's story, Ban Chao began to think.

After spending about a cup of tea, Ban Chao seemed to have an idea in his heart, and explained to Hu Biao and Yu Hanfeng:

"It doesn't matter! Even if the situation in Khotan is more difficult, it is not without any solution.

I will stay in this Shanshan country for a day or two, and after I have dealt with some matters, I will send them to Khotan.

Yang Shichang and the others and the soldiers and horses under their command don't need to act with us first, just find a hidden place outside the city and ambush them for the time being.

If the trip to Khotan goes well, it will be fine, otherwise I will see the beacon fire agreed between you and me.

rushed over directly and killed the Hun envoys up and down, to see how these Hu people at both ends of the rat's tail still took refuge in the Huns. ”

When he said this, he could hear it in Ban Chao's words, which were full of pride.

Obviously, the existence of Lao Yang and others made him feel full of confidence.

For such an arrangement in Ban Chao's mouth, Hu Biao and Yu Hanfeng naturally did not have the slightest problem, and immediately agreed to it simply.

Even after Yu Hanfeng thought of something, he said in his mouth:

"Since Ban Sima has arranged it this way, then his subordinates will retire first, so that while the city gate is not closed, he will immediately rush to Hongbai Mountain to inform Yang Shichang and other brothers.

Let them save some time and set off immediately so as not to miss Ban Sima's big event. ”

Hearing this, Ban Chao began to propose out of concern:

"At this time, I am afraid that it is already unitary time, and it is about to get dark, and the Western Regions are extremely chaotic, and there must be a lot of wild beasts and bandits in the wild at night.

It is better to rest in the city for one night and set off early tomorrow morning. ”

Unexpectedly, after hearing such a sentence of concern, Yu Hanfeng said with a gushing mouth: "Ban Sima don't have to worry, his subordinates naturally have enough certainty, and there is no need to worry about the safety along the way." ”

Should I say it or not, the pretending meaning in this thing's mouth at that time almost didn't make Hu Biao laugh......

In the following time, Yu Hanfeng quietly climbed out of the wall again and pulled out two war horses from the inn where he lived.

It was before dawn that the city gates were closed for the last bit of time to shoot the horses out of the city.

After dark, taking advantage of the rare bright moonlight in the sky tonight, I began to rush all night.

There are more than 1,000 miles to go to Hongbai Mountain, and it will take several days for the two horses to arrive under the constant change of riding; And Yang Dongli and the others really didn't say that they could set off immediately.

It always takes a day or two, so it's good to prepare in advance.
