Chapter 318 – You Don’t See Ban Dingyuan, Peerless Light Horse Urges Battle Cloud!.
Just after Ban Chao made the bold proposal to attack the Xiongnu at night with thirty-six horses, some people present felt that it was not safe, so they proposed: “This matter should be discussed with Guo Zheng.” ”
Ban Chao looked at the man’s timid appearance before fighting, and said angrily: “This time, the fate of me and the others is fierce or auspicious, and it depends on whether we can destroy these Xiongnu messengers. ”
“Guo Zheng is a mediocre civil official, and when he hears this, he will definitely expose our plans because he is afraid, and we will die in vain and leave a bad reputation, which is not a strong man.”
When his subordinates heard Ban Chao’s remarks, they all nodded their heads and said yes.
As soon as it got dark that day, Ban Chao led his soldiers straight to the Northern Xiongnu envoy station.
At that time, there was a strong wind in the sky, and Ban Chao ordered ten men to hide behind the enemy’s garrison with drums, and agreed that as soon as they saw the fire, they would beat the war drum and shout loudly.
He also ordered others to ambush on both sides of the door with knives, guns, bows and crossbows. After the arrangement, Ban Chao set fire to the wind, and for a while thirty-six people made noise before and after, and the momentum was noisy.
The Huns were in chaos and had no way to escape. Ban Chao personally killed three Xiongnu, his subordinates also killed more than thirty people, and the rest of the Xiongnu were buried in the fire.
The next day, Ban Chao reported the matter to Guo Xun, who was first surprised, and then a look of unfairness appeared on his face.
Ban Chao knew that he was jealous, so he raised his hand and said to him: “Although you did not act with us, how can I Ban Chao bear to monopolize this credit.? ”
Guo Xun’s face was beaming.
Ban Chao then invited King Shanshan, showing him the head of the Xiongnu messenger, and King Shanshan, who was shocked and the whole country was terrified. Ban Chao spoke comfortingly, and King Shanshan, expressed his willingness to submit to the imperial court, and sent his prince to the Han Dynasty as a hostage.
In this way, Ban Chao only rode with thirty-six horses, and destroyed an embassy of the Northern Xiongnu, shocking the King of Shanshan, who was about to move!
Among them, the calmness, bravery, wisdom, and strategy shown by Ban Chao are all enough to be on the history books, and the special book is great! What’s more, Ban Chao’s achievements in the Western Regions are far more than that!
In the eighteenth year of Yongping, Liu Xiu, the son of Emperor Guangwu of Han and Liu Zhang, Emperor of Hanming, died.
At this time, the countries of the Western Regions saw the death of Emperor Han Ming, and the heart of the unsubordinates was ready to move, and the Yanqi Kingdom of the Western Regions took advantage of the great loss of the Han Dynasty to send troops to attack the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty to protect Chen Mu and kill Chen Mu.
The rest of the countries of the Western Regions such as the Guzi Kingdom and the Gumo Kingdom also followed suit, attacking the Han Dynasty’s direct cities in the Western Regions and the Shule State.
Ban Chao, who sent an envoy to the Western Regions, became a lone army, occupying only a Luntai City, and insisted on resisting the Western Regions coalition army. This persistence is more than a year!
A year later, Emperor Zhang of Han succeeded to the throne, and the Han Dynasty believed that Chen Mu, the capital of the Western Regions, was dead, and feared that Ban Chao would be isolated in the Western Regions, so he wanted to recall Ban Chao.
But Ban Chao said, the Great Han has finally reopened the Western Regions, and there must be no mistakes, and I am willing to retake the Western Regions for the Great Han with a passion for the Great Han, instead of the Great Han sending out a soldier and a pawn!
Therefore, Ban Chao, with the original more than 1,000 Han soldiers under his command as the core, united with the subordinate state Shule, and began to divide and knock the allied forces of the Western Regions, attack from afar, attack closely, plot and destroy the Western Regions coalition forces.
Subsequently, Ban Chao requisitioned more than 70,000 troops of the Western Regions vassal countries that had returned to the Great Han Dynasty to requisition those stubborn Western Regions countries!
Beheading tens of thousands of enemy troops, capturing 15,000 prisoners, and capturing 300,000 head of cattle and sheep, so that the power of the Han Dynasty re-intimidated the Western Regions. Ban Chao was also named Marquis of Dingyuan by military merit for this!.
