637 Blood in the Desert
I know Ban Chao solo, but Ban Chao is already a figure a hundred years ago. Even his son Ban Yong is rampant in the Western Regions, it is still a past event many years ago.
Nowadays, the Ban family in the Central Plains is not famous, but Ban Chao, Ban Yong and his son have been in power for decades. They are almost a myth in the Western Regions. The lean camel is bigger than a horse. No wonder the Ban family can have such a caravan on the Silk Road.
When I saw Ban's father excitedly, I thought Ban Chao was indeed a romantic figure, and I couldn't help but say, "I am really ignorant. I didn't know that my father-in-law is actually a descendant of Ban Chao. I thought that Ban Dingyuan would defeat everything in the Western Regions. No wonder the caravan led by my father-in-law is very marching."
"You finally have some knowledge." Zhuzi muttered.
But Daddy Ban was happy.
It turned out that Ban Chao's courtesy name was Zhongsheng. He was appointed as the magistrate of the Western Regions and was named the Marquis of Dingyuan. At that time, most people in the world called him "Ban Dingyuan". However, Ban Chao has been in his lifetime for more than a hundred years, and few people now call him this. Listening to Ban Chao's old name again, he showed that his respect for Ban Chao was not a general rule. How could Ban's father not feel happy?
He glared at Zhuzi, and Dad Ban sighed: "Brother Shan is really a knowledgeable person. You, Zhuzi, are just relying on the beauty of your ancestors."
Zhuzi dared not refute, and he turned red and blushed.
Mr. Ban sighed in a flash: "In fact, it's not just Zhuzi. Even if I am a man, I rely on the reputation of his ancestors, and I can't get enough of it in the Western Regions. If I want to revitalize the power of my ancestors, I can't get enough."
The heart moved slightly when flying alone.
He knew that some people were indeed aimless, but as Dad Ban said this, it was obviously an old horse in the stable and had a great ambition. When Dad Ban said he would go to Loulan early, he was taking the opportunity to see if there were any "next" opportunities. He knew that Dad Ban might have to do a big deal when he went solo.
This transaction is not like it is limited to business.
Although Solo guessed this, he never spyed on others' *, just ate a few more chopsticks in silence.
Dad Ban suddenly winked at the man beside him. The men stood up and scattered several feet away. Dad Ban took a few sips of strong wine, and gradually became bloody and suddenly said: "Brother Shan looks not only an alien, but also has a wide range of knowledge, but he doesn't know how to understand the true intention of his ancestor Dingyuan Hou to manage the Western Regions."
Although Zhuzi has a broad vision, the salt that Mr. Ban eats can build a few bridges. From the first time he saw him, to the seemingly casual conversation today, why didn’t Mr. Ban know that Mr. Ban seems to be down and out, but actually has the ability to surpass ordinary people?
Solo heard the intention of Ban’s father’s tentative intention, and was somewhat interested in the descendants of Ban’s family. He smiled and said, “I know a little, but mentioning the intention of Dingyuan Hou in front of my father-in-law is a bit of a surprise.”
Mr. Ban was stunned at first, obviously not hearing this idiom, and then smiled and said, "Brother Shan is a perfect person. If you talk about your knowledge, you are afraid that you will be far better than me. I actually want to hear Brother Shan's opinions."
When he saw his father alone, he was full of expectations and pondered for a moment, he said: "The Han Dynasty came to establish his own country and fought with the Xiongnu. The countries in the Western Regions were originally the Han Dynasty and the most important forces outside the Xiongnu. Although Zhang Qian was in the air of the Western Regions and Huo Cavalry asked hundreds of countries in the Western Regions to come to pay tribute, Emperor Guangwu was worried about the chaos in the Central Plains and had no time to take care of the Western Regions, and instead let the Western Regions fall under the control of the Xiongnu. After the Xiongnu controlled the Western Regions, in addition to cutting off the important business paths between the Han and the West, it also posed a great threat to the northwest of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty finally realized that it was inappropriate. In order to completely repel the Xiongnu's attack, he used the strategy of "using barbarians to control barbarians". The Dingyuan Hou rose up due to fate and then flapped his wings for thousands of miles. Not only did he adopt the countries in the Western Regions for use as Han, but he opened trade channels outside and safeguarded the border people inside, but he also successfully cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu and protected the safety of the people in the world. It was really a hero's job."
The more he heard it, the more surprised he became. Although he had expected that Solo Fei would speak extraordinary, he did not want Solo Fei to say so thoroughly. I don’t know if it was wine or because of the raging fire, Solo father turned red in his face: “Brother Shan is really awesome. It is worthwhile to be able to listen to Brother Shan’s words today.”
What Solo Fei said is a summary of later generations and his own analysis and judgment. Seeing that the father was so excited, Solo Fei secretly felt ashamed and thought to himself that it was probably okay to ask me to say something, but no matter how detailed it is, it may not be possible.
Mr. Ban came forward and whispered: "Brother Shan should be a person with great ambitions with such knowledge." He used common sense to refer to it. Except for Zhao Kuo's words on paper, people who care about history so much, and those who are well-intentioned are all about strategy.
Seeing Dan Fei silent, although Dad Ban still hesitated, he finally said firmly: "Brother Shan, I think you are a brother, so I am not afraid to tell you that I have a plan to revive my ancestors' elegance. When I go to Loulan, I am ready to realize this plan!"
Zhuzi was shocked and shouted in a hurry: "Dad!" He thought that Daddy had drunk too much, so he easily told such a plan to outsiders, and even made excuses: "You have drunk too much."
But Dad Ban waved his hand to stop Zhuzi and said in a deep voice: "I can't be sober!"
Solo was surprised.
The cold wind was cold, but Daddy Ban felt passionate in his heart.
After all, he is a descendant of Ban Chao. After all, he has heard of his ancestors for a long time and is inevitably infected with the style of his ancestor Ban Chao.
You should know that Ban Chao was on a mission to the Western Regions, and his first stop was Loulan. King Loulan was very polite to Ban Chao when he came, but soon changed his attitude and became distant. What a person Ban Chao was like? He concluded that it must be the Xiongnu sent an envoy to threaten him at the sight, which made King Loulan change his attitude. Ban Chao knew the reason for making a quick decision, so he quickly found 36 subordinates to be the people from the Xiongnu. Some subordinates hesitated and said that Lord Ban and Guo Xun were engaged in the work and were ordered to come here together. Should they discuss with Guo Xun? Ban Chao said furiously that Guo Xun was a civil servant, and although he was doing things, he was a good person.
If we discuss this kind of thing, it will be more dangerous. At that time, it may be thorough. But if we are on guard, what is the use of meticulousness? Now, we are in a one-to-hundred situation and are guarded by others, let alone defeat our opponents and make achievements, we may be killed by the Huns in the next moment. Ban Chao summoned 36 people to do it as soon as possible, and attacked the Huns' camp at night and killed the leader sent by the Huns in one fell swoop. Not only did King Loulan scare, but Loulan was shocked all the whole country, which made King Loulan make up his mind to turn to the Han Dynasty.
Mr. Ban also has the style of his ancestor Ban Chao. Since he knows the ability to fly solo, he sees that he is poor and has a heart that is endless and has expressed his heart. If he had known that such people would be hard to come by, he should try his best to win over them. But since you think that others are brothers, you will undoubtedly lay hidden dangers for future joint efforts. Although Mr. Ban Chao is very experienced, he is also passionate and makes a decision as quick as Mr. Ban Chao.
Seeing Shan Fei was surprised, but without any shock, Daddy Ban was even more sure that this person was extraordinary. You should know that when ordinary people heard him say this, they either trembled in fear or thought they were joking.
Dad Ban made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "If Brother Shan is interested..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp whistle suddenly broke through the night sky.
Zhuzi stood suddenly and said anxiously: "Dad, a horse thief is coming!"
The wine bag in the hand of Mr. Ban didn't even spill out a drop of wine, and said coldly: "What are you afraid of?"
When I saw Daddy Ban so calm, I felt a little impressed. Daddy Ban looked calm when he saw Daddy Ban solo, and he also thought that this person had a kindness.
Hearing the horse's hooves, Dad Ban knew that the horse thief was coming so anxiously, and the people who killed and robbed were no longer discussed. Since the war was inevitable, Dad Ban was not afraid, but couldn't help but be excited and shouted: "If they dare to come, we dare to kill! Take action!"
When I heard the sound of horse hooves, I knew that the enemy was coming at least 100 times. Finally, I looked up and saw dark dust rushing towards the night, revealing the color of death.
There was a slight riot in the caravan, and the attached caravan heard the horse thief coming and ran out of the tent in panic.
"Go away with the hill." Someone in the caravan shouted coldly: "If you don't listen to the orders, don't blame life and death."
Many people, like headless flies, heard the shout calmly, and rushed towards the hills piled up in the center of the caravan. They instantly reached the hills next to the hills and squatted down with their hands in their heads.
This is a conventional rule. The conflict between horse thieves and caravans is a life-and-death battle between thieves and caravan guards. However, if we had not encountered a vicious bandit, as long as the merchants did not resist, the horse thieves would not kill all the people who went on the business.
The sound of horse hooves approached and rushed to the east of the caravan in a flash.
He frowned secretly, thinking that he had never seen any horse thieves appear all the way west. According to common sense, the opponent should have come from the west, but the enemy actually came from the east, which was obviously circled around.
The horse thief is very scheming.
Sand and dust rise.
The fire suddenly faded out as the trembling light!
In the darkness where each fire could not be illuminated, several men from the Ban family rushed out, and the sandbags in their hands were raising their heads, almost at the same time, extinguishing the fire.
This move is extremely sudden and effective.
The horse thieves rushed over with great momentum, aiming at the direction of the fire. They knew that the fire was where the crowd was. As long as they were killed before they could panic inside the caravan, it was when their horse thieves were allowed to take it.
Unexpectedly, although the Ban family is not as strong as the ancestor Ban Chao, they have extremely rich experience in dealing with the enemy when walking in the desert where bandits are rampant.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the horse thief suddenly lost direction and felt that the murderous intent was hidden in the caravan, so he couldn't help but hesitate. At this moment, the sky and the earth were darker, and a lot of sand suddenly flew up from the ground and rushed to the horse thief.
People yelled and shouted, and the horse thieves were caught off guard. Most of them were confused, and half of them pulled their horses and wanted to retreat. At this moment, dozens of men jumped out of the sand with shields, and the shiny steel knife in their hands had been slashed on the horse thief's legs.
The night was as cold as a knife, and the knife was cold enough to the bone. Endless blood sprayed out in the muffled screams, dyeing the night as red as ink.
Solo frowns slightly and sighs: "The Ban family in the Western Regions is indeed well-known."
But Daddy Ban had no intention of being content with himself.
If you have a bet, you won’t lose, but you can’t say you won.
He held the wine bag in his hand slightly, and Dad Ban inhaled gently, and the old eyes finally condensed in his coldness. If the ordinary horse thief had already retreated, but as the blood was pouring, he had seen that dozens of horse thieves on the horse's back were shouting in unison and crossing the intercepting Ban's Jingyong, and finally rushed into the caravan!
