Chapter 276 Across the 50 countries in the Western Regions, "Ban Chao" was named Marquis for thousands of miles... (Super large chapter, please subscribe)
"Xu Liang, didn't you say you invited Teacher Chen Fan to our CCTV?"

"Taiwan, director... Mr. Chen Fan promised to come to our CCTV after Dragon TV finished the program."

"how much longer?"

"This... I don't have a specific time here either."

"You did a good job. Hurry up, if you don't drag Mr. Chen Fan to our CCTV, everyone will think that Dragon TV is the CCTV channel."

……

"Teacher He, there is a program tonight, you will take charge of it."

"Well, I'm on vacation today."

"I know, do me a favor, I will grant you a few more days off next week."

"Director, tonight?"

"Correct."

"It seems that Dragon TV will have a class from Mr. Chen Fan's Baijia Forum tonight."

"Uh, it seems to be."

"Director, this won't work...how can I stand up to Teacher Chen Fan?"

"If you can't stand it, then no one can stand it."

"what?"

"Stop it, the others are just like you. When they hear about the forum, they all ask for leave from me. There is no way, you are the most popular in the stage, and you can only do it."

"Director, but I can't handle it even if I go out."

"Do your best. I believe in you, so it's settled, hang up."

"Taiwan, Director..."

……

"Unfortunately, Feng Yanran's mountain inscription cannot be moved to our place."

"Zhu Tai, don't be a pity. It's good to put it in Beimeng. After all, the Feng Yanran mountain inscription written by Ban Gu is there. If it is moved back, it will not be so meaningful."

"That too."

After returning from Beimeng, Master Zhu said with some regret.

but.

It is undoubtedly an extremely sensational event to find the Feng Yanran mountain inscription written by Ban Gu in Northern Mongolia.

Not to mention Dragon TV.

After the incident was broadcast live on Dragon TV, the whole country was boiling.

"Teacher Chen Fan, look, there is still a lot of interest on the Internet about our trip to Northern Mongolia this time. Many netizens commented that it would be great if we could find the Langjuxu Mountain where Huo Qubing used to be."

"Don't be sorry, more than 2000 years have passed, and key physical evidence can't be found for everything. As long as we know these events and what our sages did back then, it will be fine."

"That's right. However, without you, Teacher Chen Fan, I don't think the public would know about it. So, you see, many people on the Internet say that they hope you can study history."

"Xiu Shi?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is no such job as a historian in modern times, and it doesn't matter whether you want to study history or not."

"No, no, it's very necessary. Many netizens, as well as scholars and professors have said that to understand ourselves, we must first know where we come from and what we have experienced. But for thousands of years, many Great history has disappeared in the long river of time. This has also caused many people to not know the truth of history. It is only in our modern times that we really understand what history means to us. But unfortunately, before that, we There is not much to do. Until, Mr. Chen Fan, you show up."

Master Zhu looked at Chen Fan and said excitedly.

"Master Zhu, don't look at me like this. Besides, it is not allowed to study history without permission. As I said before, that Ban Gu was a person who compiled history without permission, and was finally arrested."

of course.

This is Chen Fan's joke.

The Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago was different from what it is now.

Now that you are so enlightened, how could such a thing happen?

But no matter how enlightened, the revision of history is not random.

This is not writing a novel.

Fiction can be bullshit.

If the history books are nonsense, the impact will be so great that it is difficult to predict.

and so.

No matter how enlightened the modern age is, history cannot be edited casually.

It's just that Chen Fan said so, but Master Zhu said: "Then what if it is allowed by the superior?"

"Up?"

"Mr. Chen Fan, the Chinese Archives has contacted me to inquire about your situation. Maybe, they will come to you soon."

"what……"

……

"Who has tickets for the Baijia Forum?"

"What are you doing?"

"I'll charge 1000 yuan for one."

"Damn, 1000 yuan, quite willing."

"It's okay. However, if you can listen to Mr. Chen Fan's class on the spot, the 1000 yuan is nothing."

"Well, I have."

"Sell it to me."

"Not for sale."

"What?"

"Didn't you say that if you can listen to Teacher Chen Fan's class on the spot, what is the 1000 yuan?"

"Then I will pay 2000 yuan."

"Just want to buy a chance to listen to Teacher Chen Fan live for 2000 yuan?"

"3000."

"3000 is not bad, but you don't know what it's like to listen to Mr. Chen Fan's class live. Let me tell you, my classmate listened to it once in the last class, and he said that it was worth it all his life."

"4000."

"I won't sell it for 4000 either."

"5000."

"Don't sell, don't sell, don't sell...don't say any more."

I didn't talk to the friend who bought the ticket any more.

This classmate was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation of money.

Thousands of dollars are a lot, but there is only one chance.

Missing this opportunity, he didn't know if it would have any impact on his life.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Dragon TV.

The second issue of "Hundreds of Lectures" will meet you as scheduled.

Same as before.

Chen Fan had just stepped onto the stage, and all the students, audience, and guests all got up and bowed to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan also responded to the students.

"Following the last issue of Ban Gu, we will talk about a well-known figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty in this issue. However, this well-known figure has a great relationship with Ban Gu. This person is Ban Gu's younger brother, Ban Chao."

As far as the Ban family is concerned, it is really a family of three brothers and sisters, each of whom has a legendary experience.

Compared with Ban Gu, his younger brother Ban Chao is even more powerful.

but.

Chen Fan hadn't started talking about how awesome Ban Chao was, but as soon as Chen Fan said he was going to talk about Ban Chao, some fans in the live broadcast room remembered this character.

"Hey, Ban Chao, isn't this the one who rode to the capital alone to clear his brother Ban Gu?"

"Oh, that's him. Tsk tsk, awesome, with such courage, he is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Yes, I was thinking before, why didn't such a courageous brother talk about it. Looking at it now, Brother Fan wants to talk about Ban Chao in detail."

Yes.

If you want to talk about Ban Chao, naturally you can't mention it casually on Ban Gu's side.

Ban Chao's story, even if compared with Dou Xian's "Yan Ran Le Shi", is not far behind.

"Ban Chao, whose name is Zhongsheng, is Ban Gu's younger brother. He had great ambitions since he was a child, but after his father's death, his family's fortunes fell for a while. But even so, Ban Chao was still very hardworking, and he didn't feel that his family was in decline. Later Brother Ban Gu was appreciated by Emperor Han Ming for his work in compiling history, so he moved to Luoyang with his brother."

"Although my elder brother Ban Gu was appointed an official, he was only a small historian and his status was not high. Therefore, being an official did not bring much benefit to the family. At most, it improved the family situation. Moreover, it did not necessarily improve much. At that time, Ban Gu’s income was not much. In order to make money, Ban Chao had to copy documents for the government to make ends meet.”

"At that time, a person who was very good at reading saw Ban Chao and said: Although your ancestors have never been a high-ranking official, you will definitely be a marquis thousands of miles away in the future. Ban Chao said with a smile, look, I am now even one I have no official position, let alone any background, how can I still be a Marquis? The face-to-face person said: Your forehead is like a swallow, your neck is like a tiger, and you fly and eat meat. This is the appearance of a Marquis of thousands of miles! As for you now, only It’s just that the opportunity didn’t come.”

The story of Wanli Fenghou told by the physiognomy immediately attracted everyone.

"Marquis of thousands of miles?"

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, tell me, is Ban Chao Wanli a Marquis?"

For this.

Although Chen Fan didn't read what everyone said in the live broadcast room, he still said: "Whether there is a Marquis of Wanli, let's not talk about it here. Let's continue. Later, because Ban Gu was very talented, Emperor Han Ming admired him very much. One day, the Han Dynasty Emperor Ming suddenly remembered that Ban Gu had a younger brother. He had a good impression of Ban Gu's younger brother. He felt that Ban Gu's younger brother was very courageous, so Emperor Han Ming asked Ban Gu: "Your brother is a talent. If there was no him at that time, you might By the way, where is your brother now? Ban Gu said with some embarrassment, because his family was poor, his younger brother Ban Chao was writing books for the government, and used the money he earned to support his mother. Emperor Ming of Han expressed deep sympathy and appointed Ban Chao was in charge of memorials and documents for Lantai Lingshi. This official position is not big, and he is also a small official. But unfortunately, Ban Chao was dismissed due to negligence not long after."

When Ban Chao was young, he didn't have much experience in forking.

Although talented, but because his family doesn't have much background, he can only live an ordinary life.

"Although Ban Chao was sad for a while after being dismissed from office, Ban Chao thought about it. He felt that nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. Okay. So, Ban Chao went back to copy documents for the government again. However, after copying for a long time, Ban Chao felt that he could not be like this for the rest of his life. He thought that even if he had no outstanding achievements, he should Learning from those sages who have made great achievements outside the region, how can they waste time on blank paper like this. In this, he especially likes Zhang Qian, who went to the Western Regions twice. He feels that if he can be like Zhang Qian, then he should How nice."

"Make up your mind, Ban Chao will join the army, so he will go to the army."

This is the story of Ban Chao's "throwing a pen into the army".

"It just so happened that the opportunity came. After Ban Chao went to serve as a soldier, Dou Gu led his army to the Western Regions to attack the Huns. This Dou Gu is Dou Rong's nephew, and Dou Rong is the seventh grandson of Dou Guangguo in the Western Han Dynasty. As for Dou Guangguo , he is the younger brother of Empress Dou, the wife of Emperor Hanwen. In terms of seniority, Dou Gu is Dou Xian’s cousin. However, Dou Gu is different from Dou Xian. If Dou Xian is arrogant and domineering, then Dou Gu is loyal. Gong Liang. When Dou Gu saw Ban Chao coming to join the army, he remembered that Ban Chao’s ancestors had helped their Dou family. Dou Gu asked Ban Chao to act as a fake Sima, that is, an official position acting as Sima’s agent. Although this official position was not great, it gave Banchao opportunity."

"Although the Western Regions were conquered during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the following hundreds of years, due to various reasons, the control of the Western Regions has been repeated several times. During this period, because Wang Mang had usurped the throne, the Huns took the opportunity to occupy the Western Regions again. Until the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty , After the national power improved further, the Eastern Han Dynasty was ready to attack the Western Regions. Originally, Dou Gu just wanted Ban Chao to follow him to learn experience, but after Ban Chao came to the Western Regions, he made great achievements several times. Dou Gu was overjoyed and sent Ban Chao Go on an envoy with Guo Xun to the countries in the Western Regions, hoping that the countries in the Western Regions can return to the Han Dynasty."

"Ban Chao and Guo Xun came to the first stop, the Shanshan Kingdom. At the beginning, the king of Shanshan Kingdom was more polite and warm to Ban Chao and his envoys. But after a few days, Shanshan Kingdom became colder to Ban Chao and the others. Later , Ban Chao learned that it turned out that it was the envoys of the Huns who came to Shanshan, so that the king of Shanshan hesitated, not knowing whether to submit to the Han Dynasty or the Xiongnu.”

"At this time, Ban Chao found the waiter who had received him from Shanshan Kingdom, and asked where the Huns' envoy lived. The waiter was suddenly asked by Ban Chao, and he didn't know what was going on, so he told Ban Chao. Ban Chao was afraid that he would reveal the news, and then Locked up the waiter. Then, he immediately summoned the 36 subordinates who followed him. That night, he drank with the 36 people. When everyone drank to a certain level, Ban Chao said, you and I are in a foreign land , all hope to seek wealth and glory through meritorious service. But now the envoys of the Northern Huns have only arrived for a few days, and the King of Shanshan will not treat us with courtesy. If the King of Shanshan kidnaps us and sends us to the Northern Huns, Haven't we all become food in the mouth of wolves? What do you think about this? Everyone said in unison: We are in a dangerous situation now, and it is up to you, Sima, to decide whether to live or die. Ban Chao said: Don't enter the tiger's den The only solution now is to attack the envoys of the Northern Huns with fire at night. They don’t know how many of us there are, and they will definitely feel very scared. We can just take this opportunity to destroy them. As long as we eliminate them, King Shanshan It will scare the guts out, and we're done."

At this time, Ban Chao was not a general.

There are not too many soldiers and horses under his command, only 36 people.

His identity is just a fake Sima, and he is doing the work of envoys to other countries, just like Zhang Qian.

But even so.

Ban Chao behaved like a general who killed countless enemies.

Even though he had only 36 people, he still wanted to kill the envoys of the Northern Huns in a foreign country, or on the territory of Shanshan.

This courage immediately stimulated everyone.

"It's a good sentence, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs."

"Ban Chao is awesome, no wonder he was able to go straight to the capital alone when his brother was convicted, and save his brother Ban Gu from danger."

"I think Ban Gu, as an older brother, should include his younger brother Ban Chao in the "Han Shu"."

"Hahaha, that's a good idea."

Ok.

Naturally, there is no Ban Chao in Hanshu.

After all, Ban Chao was not so awesome at that time.

Furthermore.

People who are generally alive will not be written in history books.

Only after death, history books will evaluate the merits and demerits of this character.

But there is no Ban Chao in the Han Shu. Later, after Ban Chao's death, in the "Hou Han Shu", Ban Chao is one of them.

Chen Fan went on to say: "At this time, one of the subordinates said that this matter should be discussed with Guo Xun, and Ban Chao said that whether it is bad or good depends on this matter. Guo Xun is relatively timid. Our plan will be exposed because of fear, and we will die in vain and get a bad reputation. This is not a strong man. Probably because of drinking a lot, the 36 subordinates felt their blood was burning, and they all agreed. "

"As soon as it got dark that day, Ban Chao led his soldiers straight to the camp of the Northern Huns envoy. At that time, there was a strong wind in the sky, and Ban Chao ordered ten men to hold drums and hide behind the enemy's camp. Screaming. He also ordered other people to ambush on both sides of the door with knives, guns, bows and crossbows. After the arrangement, Ban Chao set fire to the wind. For a time, 36 people clamored in front and back, and the noise was loud. The Huns were chaotic and had nowhere to escape. Ban Chao killed He killed three Huns, and his subordinates also killed more than 30 people, and the rest of the Huns were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

The next day, Ban Chao reported the incident to Guo Xun. Guo Xun was surprised at first, 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, have the heart to monopolize this credit?Guo Xun's face showed joy.Ban Chao then invited Shanshan King and showed him the head of the Huns envoy. The Shanshan King was shocked and the whole country was shocked.Ban Chao comforted him with kind words, and King Shanshan expressed his willingness to surrender to the court and sent his son to the Han Dynasty as a hostage. "

Such courage, such courage, countless audiences in front of the TV applauded for a while.

"It's just that the identity of the messenger is so awesome, top."

"Thirty-six people wiped out the Xiongnu mission, which is also extinct."

"I suddenly remembered what the fortune-teller said, Ban Chao will definitely be a Marquis for thousands of miles, it can't be true."

Everyone has been completely attracted by Ban Chao's personality charm.

……

But this is only the beginning.

Chen Fan continued to speak: "Ban Chao led all the people back to the teacher after completing his mission, and reported the situation to Dou Gu. Dou Gu was very happy, and presented the history and achievements of Ming Banchao's envoy, and asked Han Ming Emperor to select another envoy. On a mission to the Western Regions, Emperor Ming admired Ban Chao's brave strategy and thought he was a rare talent, so he issued an edict to Dou Gu and said: "Why don't you send an envoy like Ban Chao, but choose someone else? You can promote Ban Chao." Served as military commander, let him continue to complete the task of the mission. Dou Gu thought that Ban Chao's men were too few, and wanted to send him some more troops. Ban Chao said: "It is enough for me to lead the more than 30 people who followed me. If something happens Unexpectedly, more people will increase the burden.

"Immediately, Ban Chao led the 36 people who followed him to the next stop, the Kingdom of Khotan. The Kingdom of Khotan was quite strong at this time, and they had just destroyed the Kingdom of Shache. But the Kingdom of Khotan had the Huns The envoys they sent were supposed to be envoys, but it was the Huns who were secretly monitoring Khotan. After Banchao and the others came, the king of Khotan was very indifferent to Banchao. Even at this time, the wizard of Khotan told the king of Khotan, If you submit to the Han Dynasty, then the gods will be angry. They also said that there is a BMW in the Han Dynasty, and you should quickly use his horse to sacrifice to the gods.

The king of Khotan sent the prime minister to find Ban Chao privately, and Ban Chao agreed after hearing it, but he had a request that the wizard come to fetch the horse in person.As a result, when the wizard came to fetch the horse, Ban Chao directly sent someone to kill the wizard.Then Ban Chao took the wizard's head to the king of Khotan, and told him about the strength comparison between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.The Kingdom of Khotan had long heard that Ban Chao had brought envoys to kill the envoys of the Huns, and understood the strength of the Han Dynasty.In the end, after the balance of power and disadvantages, Khotan sent a prince to the Han Dynasty as a hostage.In this way, under Ban Chao's envoy, the relationship between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty was interrupted for more than 60 years, and it has been restored..."

Ban Chao is a legend in the Western Regions.

In his legendary life, although he didn't fight many battles and didn't use many soldiers, his contribution was no lower than that of any general.

"After Banchao went to the Western Regions one after another, dozens of countries in the Western Regions returned to Han again. However, the Western Regions are too complicated. In it, there are still some small countries that are unwilling to return to Han. They are Yanqi, Qiuci, He Gumo. At this time, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty passed away, and during the great funeral of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms believed that the Han Dynasty must not be able to control this place, so they jointly attacked the Western Regions Protectorate established by the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions."

"When Emperor Hanzhang succeeded to the throne, the highest official of the Protectorate of the Western Regions had died. He knew what happened here in the Western Regions. Emperor Hanzhang issued an edict to let Banchao return to the country. When Banchao was ordered to return, the whole country of Shule was worried. Wei Liyan said: "If the Han envoy leaves us, we will definitely be destroyed by Qiuci again. I really can't bear to see the Han envoy leave. After saying that, he drew his sword and killed himself. Ban Chao led his troops to Yutian, a vassal state. King Tian and the people burst into tears. They said: We rely on the Han envoys, just like children rely on their parents. You must not go back. Many people even hugged Ban Chao's horse's legs and tried hard to stay...

There is something familiar about this scene.

This reminded many students of the situation when Chen Fan talked about Yue Fei.

Back then when Yue Fei sent his army to attack Huanglong, the imperial court sent down twelve gold medals in a row to make Yue Fei retreat.

When Yue Fei retreated, some people in the north also cried loudly, extremely miserable.

At this time, Ban Chao was also asked by the imperial court to return to the country, and the people were also holding his legs, not daring to let him leave.

"Fuck me, is this going to give up the Western Regions?"

"Some want to cry, it reminds me of Marshal Yue Feiyue."

"Yes, me too."

Everyone wiped their eyes unconsciously.

They remembered Yue Fei back then.

Although Yue Fei didn't want to leave, he finally left.

The people who used to be in the north were once again controlled by the Jin people.

The current situation is similar to that of then.

There are more than 50 countries in the Western Regions, starting with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

How many years of hard work and how many soldiers and horses were lost by the Han Dynasty before he was brought down.

in it.

Wei Qing appeared, Huo Qubing appeared, and Chen Tang appeared.

Is it.

When he was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was he going to leave the big Han?
but.

When many people's eyes were red, one fan said excitedly: "No, I don't believe that the big man will lose the Western Regions."

Then, another fan also said: "I don't believe it either."

Probably this scene also infected the crowd.

At this time, a classmate stood up and asked, "Mr. Chen Fan, has Ban Chao returned to China?"

"No."

Chen Fan shook his head in denial.

"Is he still in the Western Regions?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"Why."

Speaking of this, Chen Fan asked everyone a question: "Students, do you still remember what Chen Tang said when he wrote a letter to Emperor Han Yuan?"

"Chen Tang?"

Everyone was stunned.

Subsequently.

During the entire program, they shouted in unison: "Anyone who commits a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is."

Yes.

That's it.

Although the Northern Huns no longer dare to invade the big Han.

but.

At this time, the Western Regions were also the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Invading the Western Regions is also invading the great Han.

Chen Fan went on to say: "Ban Chao felt extremely hurt when he saw this. After thinking twice, he decided not to return to the Han Dynasty, but to return to the Western Regions to fulfill his great wish of making contributions to foreign lands. Immediately, he replied to Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty with a document, saying, I once saw that the late emperor wanted to reconnect with the Western Regions, so he went north to attack the Xiongnu and sent envoys to the Western Regions. The Shanshan Kingdom and the Khotan Kingdom immediately surrendered to the Han. Now Jumi, Shache, Shule, Yueshi, Wusun, Kangju and other countries have all I am willing to submit to the Han Dynasty and work together to conquer Qiucha and open up the road to the Han Dynasty. If we capture Qiucha, there will be only a handful of countries in the Western Regions that have not yet surrendered. I think alone in my heart. He is just a small official in the army, but he really wants to serve his country in a distant place like Gu Ji, and die in the wilderness like Zhang Qian. In the past, Wei Jiang was only a doctor in a small country, and he could make peace alliances with Zhurong, not to mention the fact that he is now Could it be that the prestige of a big man can't deal with these small countries in the Western Regions?"

In Huizhao Han Zhangdi's documents, Ban Chao also proposed the strategy of "controlling barbarians with barbarians".

"Through the efforts of Ban Chao, he led the countries of the Western Regions to attack Kucha, and Kucha surrendered. Later, he led the countries of the Western Regions to make other countries of the Western Regions surrender. In the autumn of 94 AD, Ban Chao dispatched eight vassal states including Kucha and Shanshan. A total of 7 troops attacked Yanqi, Weixu, and Yuli. In this battle, Ban Chao killed more than 5000 people, captured 5000 people, and more than 30 horses, cattle and sheep. Ban Chao also appointed Yuan Meng as the king of Yanqi. In order to stabilize the situation, Ban Chao stayed there for half a year. So far, more than 50 countries in the Western Regions have all belonged to the Han Dynasty, and Ban Chao has also realized his ambition to come to the Western Regions..."

at this time.

This class has reached its climax.

"Thousands of miles to seal the Marquis."

"Thousands of miles to seal the Marquis."

"Thousands of miles to seal the Marquis."

Listening to Chen Fan's story about Banchao's rule in more than 50 countries in the Western Regions, all the audience felt like a tsunami in their hearts.

They recalled what the fortune-teller had said about being a marquis for thousands of miles.

Although Chen Fan didn't continue talking at this moment.

But they believed that for such a feat, being a Marquis would be enough.

In fact, it is true.

Seeing everyone's excited mood, Chen Fan said: "The next year, in order to commend Ban Chao's meritorious service, the imperial court issued an imperial edict to entitle him as Marquis of Dingyuan, with a thousand households in the city. Later generations also called "Ban Chao" "Ban Dingyuan." "At this time, Ban Chao also truly realized what the fortune teller said..."
