[The fire is getting stronger and stronger, that is, those who can run out of the sea of fire in half an hour have been cut down to the ground by Ban Chao and others, and they can't run out, so they don't have to run anymore.

After the count, except for more than 30 people of the Xiongnu mission, more than 100 people were killed, and the rest of the more than 100 people were all buried in the fire; However, there were no casualties among the 36 Han soldiers, which is a classic special operation case that can be called perfect. 】

[Early the next morning, General Ban Chao reported to Guo Sui on this matter.

When Guo Sui heard this, his face changed greatly.

Ban Chao knows this kind of person very well, he knows that Guo Sui is worried that the credit and limelight will be robbed by himself, so he hurriedly said: "Although you did not come to the scene in person, it is precisely because of your spiritual support that we can win, this credit must have your share, how dare Ban Mou monopolize this credit?" ”

After Guo Sui heard this, he turned his anger into joy, and his heart said that Banchao is a good kid, and he is on the road! 】

[Later, Ban Chao and his entourage summoned Shanshan Wang Guang.

Without saying a word, he threw the head of the Xiongnu envoy at the feet of Shanshan Wang Guang, and when Guang saw it, his limbs trembled with fright, and he quickly lay on the ground to plead guilty.

Ban Chao saw that the effect of intimidating King Shanshan had been achieved, so he stepped forward to help Guang up, and moved him with affection and righteousness.

After Haosheng comforted King Shanshan, he took the son of King Guang of Shanshan as a proton and returned to his life. 】

"Good fellows! Thirty-six people scare a country! Terrible! ”

"Ban Dingyuan is both civil and military, what is this little thing?"

"However, the national strength of the countries in the Western Regions is not very good, and I personally think there is no need to brag too much."

"You can do it, what kind of big tail are you pretending?!"

“.”

[Ban Chao completed his mission, led the crowd back to Kyoto, and reported the situation to Dou Gu one by one.

Dou Gu was overjoyed when he learned the ins and outs, and immediately went to the imperial court to play the history and achievements of the envoys, and asked the emperor to send an envoy to the Western Regions again.

Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty admired Ban Chao's bravery and strategy very much, and thought that Ban Chao was a rare talent, so he said to Dou Gu: "There is a capable person like Ban Chao in front of you, why do you want to choose someone else?" ”

Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered Ban Chao to be promoted to military commander, and asked him to send an envoy to the Western Regions again to continue to complete the previous work.

Ban Chao was also preparing to send an envoy to the Western Regions again, but Dou Gu thought that he had too few people under him and wanted to add some to him.

Ban Chao said: "It is enough for me to have the original thirty-six people, if there is an accident, there will be more people and it will be a burden." ”】

[Ban Chao and others marched to the Western Regions, and soon arrived in Khotan.

Khotanese King Guangde had recently conquered Shache and was majestic in the southern province, and the Huns sent envoys to Khotan, called to take care of his country, and actually held the power of the country.

After Ban Chao arrived in Khotan, the king of Khotan treated him quite coldly, and even a little arrogant.

The local shamans also advised the king of Khotan to kill the envoys of the Han Dynasty to sacrifice to the angry gods, otherwise a great disaster would befall him.

The king of Khotan sent someone to ask Ban Chao for the horse, and Ban Chao already knew what was going on, and happily agreed, but offered to ask the wizard to lead it himself.

When the wizard arrived, Ban Chao suddenly killed him and returned the sorcerer's head to the king of Khotan, and then knew the benefits and responsibilities of morality.

The king of Khotan had long heard of Ban Chao's killing of the Xiongnu envoys in Shanshan, and was quite frightened, so he immediately ordered the Xiongnu envoys to be killed and attached to the Han Dynasty. 】

[In the spring of the second year, Ban Chao took his men from the trail to the country of Shule.

Soon, he and his subordinates abolished the Shule King of Qiuzi, and appointed a nephew named "Zhong" who was killed as the king.

The Shule people rejoiced, and the new king and a group of officials wanted to kill Dou Di.

But in order to declare the prestige and faith of the Han Dynasty, Ban Chao persuaded everyone to release the question.

So far, Ban Chao has sent two envoys, and with wisdom and bravery, he has successively restored friendly relations with the Han Dynasty in the three kingdoms of Shanshan, Khotan, and Shule. 】

[In the eighteenth year of Yongping (75 AD), Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty died, and the Yanqi Kingdom took the opportunity of the great mourning of the Han Dynasty to besiege the capital of the Western Regions and kill the capital protector Chen Mu, and Ban Chao also fell into an isolated and helpless situation.

Qiuzi, Gumo and other countries also repeatedly sent troops to attack Shule, Ban Chao and Shule Wang Zhong were each other's horns, echoing from beginning to end, refusing to defend the city.

Although they were alone, with the spirit of stubborn resistance, they still held out for more than a year.

The following year, the imperial court was worried that Ban Chao would be alone on the border and would be difficult to support, so he issued an edict ordering him to return to China.

Ban Chao was ordered to return, and Shule was terrified.

Ban Chao led his troops to Khotan, and the people of Khotan, the kings and princes of Khotan, all cried loudly, and many people still hugged Ban Chao's horse legs and struggled to stay.

Seeing this, Ban Chao knew that his father in Khotan would never let him return to the east, and he also wanted to stay here, so he resolutely decided not to return to China and returned to Shule

Two of the cities of Shule surrendered to Qiuzi after Ban Chao's departure, and united with the Weitou Kingdom to plot a rebellion.

Ban Chao captured the rebel leader, broke the Weitou Kingdom, and made Shule as before. 】

[In the first three years of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty (78 AD), Ban Chaotong led more than 10,000 soldiers from Shule and other countries to attack Gumo, and broke through it, isolating Qiuzi. 】

[In the first five years of its founding, Ban Chao wrote to Emperor Zhang, analyzed the situation of the countries in the Western Regions and his own situation, and put forward a proposal to take the opportunity to pacify the countries in the Western Regions.

Emperor Han Zhang was very satisfied after seeing it, he knew that Ban Chao's achievements could be accomplished, so he was ready to send additional manpower for Ban Chao to improve his strength.

Xu Gan, a native of Pingling, was like-minded with Ban Chao and asked to go to a foreign land to assist Ban Chao.

The imperial court appointed him as the acting Sima and sent him to lead a thousand men to reinforce Ban Chao.

When Xu Gan arrived in Shule, it was just in time for the surrender of the Huns to the Shache Kingdom, and the Shule Duwei Fanchen rebelled, so he defeated the rebels together with Ban Chao, beheaded Fanchen, and quelled the rebellion. 】

[After Ban Chao defeated the rebels led by Fanchen, he prepared to march to Qiuzi.

At that time, the Wusun Kingdom was strong, and Ban Chao felt that he should use its power to deal with Qiuzi, so he wrote a letter suggesting that the imperial court send an envoy to comfort Wusun.

Emperor Zhang adopted his suggestion, and in the eighth year of Jianchu, he appointed Ban Chao as the general Changshi, pretended to advocate the building of the building, promoted Xu Gan to the military commander, and sent the Weihou Li Yi to escort the Wusun envoy, and gave the following brocade silk.

When Li Yi walked to Khotan, he was just in time for Qiuzi to attack Shule, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move forward. 】

[In order to cover up his cowardice and incompetence, he actually wrote to the imperial court, saying that the affairs of the Western Regions were fruitless, and he also made up lies, saying that Ban Chao had a wife and children in the Western Regions, greedy for pleasure, and had forgotten the Han Dynasty and his homeland.

But Emperor Zhang of Han was not an emperor who was easily fooled, he knew Ban Chao's loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and saw through Li Yi's slander at a glance, so he severely blamed Li Yi and asked Ban Chao to decide whether to let Li Yi stay in the Western Regions according to the situation.

After Ban Chao learned about this, he did not embarrass Li Yi, but just asked them to take Wusun's servant back to Kyoto to restore his life. 】

"Ban Dingyuan is not only both civil and military, but also a benevolent general, with the army under his command, he is invincible!"

"Ban Chao is a model in my heart, my Han family is willing to become a man like Huo Huqi and Ban Dingyuan, defend the family and the country, and die!"

"My lifelong dream of Cao Mengde is to become the general of the Han Dynasty and make meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty!"
